just a simple question what ROM should i flash.
Which is the best one.
I'd think blacknotes because it has eveything on it.
But Optimized Kezra V4 Final seems good because its claimed no lagg and stuff.
Hi
I am new to the whole rom flashing concept. However after trying all the galaxy w roms in the development section I reached a conclusion that the best rom around is stock rom. U just have to root, add busybox and then apply v6 supercharger and you will have a very stable and responsive device. All other roms had me facing some issue or another.
At least until arco finishes our cm9

It seems that the Cow Bionic rom have highest score from antutu
Are you sure???
What about using new kernel with stock ROM.
....And when you flash a new ROM can you just only restore Data in CWM to get my apps back. i dont want to use titanium back up because its annoying i have alot of apps.
cow rom is the best. most stable. I've tried all the others.
Just so i'm clear.
The roms are pretty stable until I add arabic support. After that I get force close bugs almost 3 times a day. It might be the arabic patch I am using. Anyway after that I went back to stock for UAE and with v6 super charger it's great. I hope to be able to use one of the roms cos I really liked bionic cow 2. But until someone makes it pre set with arabic read/write i'm gonna stick with stock
I also would like to pay respect to all MODers out there. I know they put lots of effort in making the roms and I don't want anyone to think that I don't respect them

Let me share my experience..
I hope it will help.
- I use kezra ROM for my first custom rom and it's work well for me but it's quite laggy when I play hd game.
- And then COW bionic ROM is available. So I try it (non OC version ). Result: it's work perfectly for my daily use.. it's little bit laggy if for HD game but I didn't play much anyway so I use this ROM for quite long until
- hybrid 2nd generation is available. So I decide to try this new ROM.
this ROM is awesome. I didn't get laggy at all when I am play hd game. But unlucky, I encounter many FC if I use it quite a while without restart it.
- alpha 1 for CM9 is available. So try it.. camera didn't work but I didn't care about it.. it's awesome.. very smooth and also didn't laggy for hd game. But I got APN problem and I can't find the solution at that moment. So I m back to COW Bionic ROM.
- and then arco find APN problem solution. So I try it again. And it work perfectly. And I am use it until now (alpha3). So if camera issue is not major issue for you, i do recommend this awesome ROM.
Or just try spent your time to find your soulmate ROM. Life is a choice anyway. ^.^

for me normal use, it can last 17~19hours
i think bionic cow 7 v2 it's a stable rom..
currently using FAW rom..for me its the best rom compare to others (IMO)
previously im using hybrid, bionic rom v2 oso kezra v4..
all are great in normal usage..but when come to HD games such as shadowgun, asphalt 6 and others, my previous custom rom tend to cause laggy in the game..and sometime when it become so lag..suddenly it will restart by its self..
but im really glad that there are so many developers out there trying their best for the BEST rom..
and im here..always ready to try it!!thanks you all!!

Just a comment. FAW ROM is using stock XXLM8 kernel while others are using Cow kernel. So far, XXLM8/DXLM3 kernel gives better visual performance.
For England Value Pack
is there a rom for the value pack STOCK only.
Because i want just the stock rom because is good.
Where is the rom if there is one?????
i loved it
excellent yar good job.. keep it up...

i don't know if there was a stock value pack just for England region at the moment, but i suggest you to check it on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
or, you can search it on sammobile, on its firmware section (just goog it).
and also, AFAIK the value pack for europe region started from series xxlm6 and above (please CMIIW guys, )
and related with the topic of this thread, i think the bionic V2 still the best GB custom ROM for this device (IMO).
really stable and had many alternatives, such as choosing OC or non-OC kernel, smooth/fast performance, or turn on/off the zram with cow panel. All of that features are really innovative, because it give more options for the user to determine their best setting.

The 720 p videos which is played fine in stock rom, cannot be played in this rom. Only certain videos can be played. Do I need to install codec or something?

I bought my Xperia Play for gaming, so I'm searching a ROM that improves hardware performance.
Yesterday I installed my first custom ROM, a ICS ROM. It's really cool but ICS slows down games and emulators.
What is the best gaming ROM?
I looked the GB ROMs linked by Mayorse (NXT and Gin2JellyBean), what do you recommend?

I'm not sure if you're interested anymore about this question, judging from your post date, but I'll try to help anyway.or if anyone else is curious.
If you're looking for the best game play features your device has to offer with full touchpad support, go for a gingerbread based ROM. The roms below work great for emulators as well as other downloadable games like GTA and are super stable and fast.
Xperia NXT Light Edition & Xperia NXT 1.3 (Hard core gamers)

or
Gin2JellyBean
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631144
If you care more about having the latest Jellbean features with less emphasis on gaming than these JB based roms are excellent. Touchpad support is a problem, but emulators work fine and most downloable games run at a decent pace. Stability and speed can sometimes be an issue, but this is rarely an issue.
KXP for PLAY (On screen navigation buttons are superb!!!)

Its GSM so yes its compatible with R800i and Its GB so yes it has working touchpads.
I've been experimenting with Xperia Play roms and kernals for the last week or so and this is my experience.
I first tried to just install the Lupus kernal for a stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. It allowed me to overclock to 1900mhz, but I felt like the the fluidity was still being held back a bit by being on gingerbread, plus I was running out of storage space and I remembered that custom roms can often help with that.
I then decided to jump to a 4.1.2 Jellybean rom with a Lupus kernal that allowed me to overclock to 1600mhz. I loved this rom, and even after I installed everything I could think to install I still had about 400mb of internal storage left. The only issue, which I predicted, would be that the phone just couldn't properly keep up with Jellybean, even under the best circumstances. It would be laggy, and certain games and emulators would jerk around and I would die because of it.
So finally I decided to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 because I read good things about it, and sure enough its been doing me wonders. It comes with its own kernal that allows you to overclock to 1600mhz as well, plenty of extra space, and I would go as far as to say that it's at a near "Apple" level of fluidity. There's only two issues I discovered with this rom, both of which were solved easily enough. The first is that it doesn't come with the ability to disable to auto-brightness, but this was solved by downloading an xperia app on the market designed the correct this. The second is that the circle button on the gamepad doesn't allow you to map anything to it, and always acts as the back button. This can be corrected by editing the keypad file in the settings, and then you're off to the races.
All in all from everything I've done and researched, I would say that CM 7.2 is the best overall rom for the Xperia Play when it comes to a balance of features and performance. If you need help setting up anything I mentioned, let me know
Very simple:
GB> NXT ROM 1.3 (1.4 is coming)
ICS> Hybrid Rom or u can try a STOCK SONY ICS XPERIA 2011 rom...
JB> Wel,, since there's still the touchpad problem, i didn't try many jb roms...

That's a fair point. I just realized that I rarely if ever use the touch pads, so that isn't a factor I've been taking into account with my tests

Hi, there are some good roms out there, if you are looking for an ICS rom maybe this is the best one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682#
But if you are looking for a Jelly Bean rom the best ones are P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus and Turbo UI
In my case I´m using P.A.C.man rom but it lags a little bit when you use the toucpads, but for example FPse emulator runs very smoothly
I suppose that the developer who created this rom in the next update will fix the touchpad lag issue, but if you don´t want to wait i think that the better rom and most updated one is Turbo UI.
I also have to say that this is only my oppinion and the only roms which I have tested were the ICS rom (and for me it had some problems with root) and P.A.C.man rom (which I´m actually using and I´m very happy with it).
& Merry Christmas
thankx, but which one of these have best performace for games ( P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus or Turbo UI) ?
you have pac-man, so can try gta vice city if working ?
I think that Turbo UI, but as you know the best experience is to try each one, and then you will know which one is better for your needs.
I haven't tried Vice City yet, but when I try it I will tell to you if it it's working smoothly. The great news are that I have heard that for some people it runs perfectly
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Sorry man but when I try to install GTA Vice City the phone says that I don't have enough space for intalling the game, and actually I have 134mb of free space. If I solve the problem I will try Vice City and I will tell you how it looks in P.A.C.man rom
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Hi, dont worry, i tried it already...
result - tried BETA ICS, AOKP-KXP, Slim Bean, PacMan, TurboUI...
TURBOUI is winner, GTA VC runs best on this ROM... So if somone looking for best performace rom , this is it (R3 + turbo kernel R8)...
but touchpad dont works at all tested rom, so i decided, if you want play games on xperia play, return back to GB+Holo launcher (NXE Light Edition) is a best choice...
thanks to all
I suggest CM9.1 fxp 152 + farenheit fix. Perfect ICS. I know ghere are still touchpad problems with JB. Stay away from Markphyton ics rom
can you try GTA Vice City on it ?
so i tried it,ň (FXP) and games run smoth.... maybe better then on turboui... but touchpad still dont work

But iam open to any Rom.

This is a bit hard to answer. GB will always be the better option for gaming since Gaming tends to lag more for ICS, the ROM i'm current using is the Nxt2_r1 (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368). This ROM has the ics look and has a great battery life along with a lot of RAM. It also comes with the 5 x 4 app rawer which is not common in most of the ROMS atm.
Another GB rom which might be the best ROM for gaming is the xElite Gamer ROM (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366002)

Stick with Lupus or if you want you can try out doomkernel just like ramhead has said. Gin2KitKat is also a good choice as it is one of the most popular roms for our xperia play

Try Ice Cream Speed with Lupus GB+ICS v7 or True Ancestor FE with Lupus GB+ICS v1 it's fastest combination in my opinion
I tried to play TDKR and The Amazing Spiderman, wow it run faster you know:good:
But
If you want to good UI with good performance you can try Xperia Play Z BETA, it run smooth in my Xperia Play and you can use Linux swap feature, and it would be great rom, :victory: (i just try with TDKR in Lupus GB+ICS v7 in 1Ghz and it run smooth with little lag sometimes)
sim card
So i chose the this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368
its pretty smooth and nice looking, however my xperia play isnt reading my sim card, do you guys think thats a software problem or more of a hardware problem :/
