best gamming config for Xplay

im new to all this rom, kernel stuff, i was wondering if someone that already has a XperiaPlay pimped up could enlight my road..
as most of the users that have xplay im stock with 2.3.4
i would like to update to ICS without loosing any function on my phone( i know there is no ICS official ver for xplay), but also want to overclock it, so i can run the games better...
so what config, mod, rom, kernel and all that stuff do i need ? where should i start ?

If u r GSM user, just find latest ICS by markphyton on android development section,
It has almost everything working
U can use Doom's kernel for overclocking later on using app that can control CPU such as voltage control, setCPU or ROM tool box

thnx, im gonna start reading rite now, im gonna see what suits me better. its just that i have too much to read...

Using ICS to play games is the worst idea what you can do. Games arent supported on ICS so it will be buggy, unstable, maybe not working. Use Custom ROM like True Ancestor or Xperia NXT 1.2 and use setcpu (Xperia NXT ROM has it already overclocked to 1.4Ghz).. I dont know why you all people want ICS so bad. Im using Xperia NXT 1.2 and im so happy with it.
Howg.

i know Gingerbread is way better for gamming, its just that i wanna have the latest update, thats all. i will stick to a gingerbrear ROM.
wich is the best gingerbread ROM for hardcore gamming? without loosing wifi, camera, bluetooth, etc..

The stock ROM is perfect for gaming, just install DooMLord's kernel, overclock it @ 1.6 GHz, install SuperCharger V6 and Chainfire3D. This should considerably speed up the phone without sacrificing any of SE's preinstalled apps.

Best Rom for Everything ???

Just wanna know the best rom for :
Gaming
UI (LooKs)
Speed & Performance
Battery Life (Even with slight Overclock)
Cant really find one that looks really good.

DiXperia 2, Lupus Linaro GB v2. Thats it.

The one u already used: NXT Rom

But still after a lot of thread that ask the same Q, and yet we hav another. Pretty weird tho.

Please help me for my xperia !
hi people. I will soon receive my xperia play and I really need advice.
If I did not root my phone or install a custom rom, can I play for example zelda ocarina of time has no lags or any problems or many other zelda games is just one example.
At the interface disign and I brace for a moment by the version 4.0.4 that I love.
So I advise you to install a custom rom or rooter my xperia play?
Another issue because I have a xperia x8:
Have known you a custom rom 4.0.4 with the camera and complete?
(please send me links I pert on your forums yet sorry)

Well, there's loads.. there's Gin2JellyBean, NXTRom, DiXperia, or if you want to try out ICS, there's Mark Phytons ICS ROM for Android 4.0.4

Sorry to hijack and all that but if all I want to do gaming wise is play emulators and not the latest games what would be the recommended ROM? Currently using 2.3.7 true ancestor with doom kernel. Fancy a bit of ics, but don't want to sabotage my ability to play megadrive and snes games (and so on)

You could try zeuznxtlite or whatever its called I was looking at it other day looks very lite
And yeh I think thats a kernel problem with moving app2sd as I was testing multiboot before but when multiboot kernel gets app2sd support there will be a winner

I think I found it... ZeuscNXTLite v1.1.1?
That has an interesting install method. Restore from CWM rather than installing from a .zip I imagine I'd have to flash myself back to stock 2.3.3 before I could install that?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on Turbo Kernel (yeah I'm running r9 right now) I'll check that out too. I can handle not being able to use apps2sd, my main gripe is MD.emu and NES.emu won't display video. For some reason I haven't been able to restore my Wolfenstein 3D either... It's hard to have a good day when you can't kill at least one Nazi.

are you saying that if you DO have unlocked boot loader that you CAN change kernel? if so, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using another kernel? i've had no major problems running NXT light and DooMKernel but i do like trying out different things. anyways, GTA VC runs very well on NXT light ROM.

I have heared about that NXTGaming ROM.. based off of NXT LE and it's supposed to be really good for gaming, worth a try I suppose? :angel:

Flashed the rom base again, Flashed the new version gin2jellybean 2.0.8 and lupus sv7 + andrenobooster v0.2. this better, but still the lag in dugeon hunter and modern combat 4.
you know how to improve color quality, and improve the quality of games without losing performance.
obs.: not use chanfire.

If you want to play without much lag or no lag, just flash one rom lightweight and ready.
In an outdated device you have to choose:

Try to set it to 1.4mhz in settings->performance
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

There is also a version just for gaming and I recommend over clocking and using Lupus Kernel v7. Also you should use something like Ram Booster which helps a lot.

thanks for the help, will try it later. you guys already flashed to 2.1, as this performance, better than the 2.0.8 ?

Hi, just to give my experience.
Updated 2 days ago gin2jellybean from 1.8.1 to 2.0.8 and the performance in games had lag and frame skipping.
I didn`t at that point flashed the stock firmware, today i tested and flashed again, but this time with the stock first then gin; and voilá the performance is again top notch, namely with games from mame etc.
Just my 2 cents.

delete the andrenobooster, What did was causing lags was andrenobooster Now the games are running without lags !!
the new version 2.1.0 this very good, thank vokal1992 :victory::victory:

Hi.
I'm really like the: Gin2jellybean.
This week the OTA Updater shows a Update.
Everytime I try to apply the update shows this error:
MD5 error - downloaded files invalid
Anyone knows what is this problem?
PS: Sometimes my phone just Reboot, this is normal?

OTA Updater was removed. Do it manually and download from Gin2JB OP.
I think to get best results in gaming you should use a light GB Rom such as DiXperia or NXT 1.3 with Doomkernel.

Thanks for the answer.
But my problem is on daily use.
Sometimes the Facebook or others Apps just close.
But when I'm playing theres no problem (i'm just use emulators of ps1/snes and GBA).

Anyone check newest version - 2.2.0?
Perfectly flashed. But Ram...
With 2.1.0, Free Ram > 210MB.

pizza dox i keep an eye in your scipt and i think that with nxt 1.3 and adrenobooster 0.2 will kick ass your opinion?

Adrenobooster only works well for some games. Other games will be messed up by it. I recommend just debloating and oc'ing to 1.2ghz. Just my $.02 though.
Debloated I have 300mb free ram with nothing open and when oc'd to 1.2ghz smartassv2 and sio, it runs like a champ and battery doesn't take a hit.
