What is the BEST gb and ics custom rom?

Im new to xperia play and... i want to know whats the best custom rom for gb and ics. my friend told me that the best for gb is trueancestor... is it really good? on ics, he told me xdark ics rom is the best, is it?

It's a matter of preference,
I use CM9 RC2

For Gingerbread, I love the rom Gin2Jellybean

I use cm9 rc 2 with fxp Turbo 1 kernel. Very smooth so far for the most part .

over clock with nofrills to 1.402ghz using smart ass V2 and deadline and also to boost it up even more (no lag) use application called ramexpander and set it to 512mb ram and 90mb swappiness and click start (top left) and enjoy turn off ramexpander by unticking when your not using it!!!

Camera works fine, The only browser related problem I've came across was when I went to youtube.com instead of the app then proceeded to skip a few minutes into the video... then I got a message saying the browser is not responding... other than that it's awesome, one complaint tho. The sound QUALITY is better but the sound VOLUME is lower than the stock GB.

most lightweight rom with touchpads working fully???????

basically I been using gin 2 jellybean but it seems so slow, my favorite rom is true ancestor but it's not stock based so no touchpads, so what roms do you use? I need something extremely lightweight and fast with 100% working stock based touchpads on ALL GAMES.

I have been using gin2jellybean and it does feel slow sometimes, I would stick with stock Rom debloated and doom kernel as you have unlocked your bootloader and possibly v6 supercharger

no it doesn't try games like 9mm, mc3 and asphalt 7

I would try Holo launcher, it works on GB and ICS and JB roms and its packed with tons of features and its app size is less then 1mb. It defaults to using ICS icons for apps, but in launcher appearance settings you can select icon pack as "none" and the launcher will use whatever icons your rom is built with. Its between 10-13mb of ram usage as well.

I agree with the Holo Launcher It worked fine for me, i went back to ics 4.0.4

Try GlazedICS with the FXP-Turbo1 Kernel. I went from the LuPuS Kernel to the FXP-Turbo1 one and it made a HUGE difference!!

you use the largest settings in v6 ,hows your gaming performance ?

Okay:I'm able to run GTA3 at max distance, everything turned up high and max resolution with only a bit of stuttering the first few mins then it runs perfect.
Dead Trigger runs on max full speed and CODBOZ runs full speed
Touchpads work perfect.
What I did:
Flashed .58 enhanced firmware.
Flashed doom kernal
Flashed TrueAncestor 1.6 lite
Flashed the doom kernal wifi tweaks
Flashed the ZRAM enabler for Doom Kernal
Then finally flashed the TEAM ROM (I like the theme)
I deleted a bunch of system apps I dont use such as:
Keyboard (replaced with Swiftkey3 Pro)
Laucher (replaced with Smart Launcher Pro)
Email
Its really lightweight - nothing installed that needs to be installed

it enables ZRAM swap on your device.

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.

Agreed. Its the best rom for gaming and the ui and its smooth.
@wuby why dont you use the xperia nxt banner?

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.

I'm not doubting you, but why do you recommend Lupus GB V6/7 over, say Lupus Stock GB&ICS? I've been frequenting between the two lately and can't settle on one yet. Is there something I'm overlooking?

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:
Eye Candy/Quality or Performance

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.
But 2.2.0, Free Ram is only ~160MB :silly:

R800X User Recommendations for Firmware and Android

Hello, I recently unlocked the bootloader on my R800x and Rooted it. I then installed lupus JBv8 480p XPLAY along with Super Jellybean v5.5, though now that I've done this, my system is terribly slow.
What alternative should I use? I am not using this as a phone, I just want to use it to run my music software (Oscilab if possible), emulators, and games.
Thanks in advance!

I have both lupus and turbo kernels downloaded for testing purposes on the r800x that I own. I also went with Slim Bean since it is light weight. For Xperia play gaming, it's best to stick with gingerbread roms from what I've read so far. The device is old. Single core stock clock 1ghz (OC to 1.6ghz), adreno 205, ~ 600mb internal (turbo kernel partitioning).
