Best Rom for Arc S in looks and performance ?

Hello,
Please help me in choosing the best, stable, ROM for arc S
I want killer looks and best performance.
Thank You

I get best performance with stock or arconium, for looks I would rather use the themes forum.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

then please suggest me best theme with great looks and battery meter too..
like the xperia S

If you like the looks of Ice Cream Sandwich (official, not Sony), your choice is JJ's Hybrid 3.2. Best ROM in my opinion, working on locked bootloaders too. Probably the smoothest ICS ROM for Arc/S.

Cyanogenmod 9.
Variety of customization options, overclock through settings, etc.
Take a look

In terms of themes, MIUI offers excellent options and performs well. There are several ROMS available, your options are only limited by what level of access you have on your phone, root? unlocked boot loader?
A couple to look at:

I think so, but i doesnt Test it
Never change a running System
with JJHyb_v3.2

arconium ics with stock kernel best for me atm
jj hybrid room is the more fast and smooth but you cant change the home launcher =/ (i mean the home.apk)

Best ROM is Arconium 8.2 (GB). Very battery friendly and very good performance.

for me best rom for arc/arc s is JJ hybrid rom, from jj doctor

Just installed JJ's hybrid after becoming frustrated by the stock ICS. It is a revelation, and I would really recommend it.

JJ's hybrid Rom... Highly recommended!! :thumbup:

Take a look at Arconium MIUI and Arconium ICS. MIUI looks different than all other roms and I think it's pretty beautiful. Arconium ICS is basically stock ICS with better performance and some cool little fixes.

JJ Hybrid is great and smooth but its battery drain is scaring me :/
Installed it last night, take a look at this screenshot :

JB vs. ICS

JB vs. ICS
which costume rom is faster on ARC
rom based on JB or ICS

JB is better version of ICS. Project Butter, smart features on homescreen and amazing statusbar. Just flash CM10 and see for yourself, OK?

JB is faster than ICS.
I installed both FXP CM9 and CM10.
CM10 is far better than CM9.

The only reason I don't install any JB or CM10 ROM is that they don't support HDMI out yet.
Please, sign the petition in here if you didn't do yet (xda thread where there is the petition link) :
[IMPORTANT] Please Read.. Xperia HDMI Source Petition :good:

AOKP is much better than CM10, but sometimes its buggy or wifi doesnt work.
Also i dont feel the sony experience, so i prefer ICS

I think that AOKP from CM10 made a verry good job!
I'm using KXP atm and all I can say it's that this is the best rom I've used since ICS+.

Why is AOKP much better? U say AOKP is buggy, i dont have those problems on CM10.

Searching for ICS or JB ROM

Hello, i am looking for ICS or JB Roms for my Xperia Play. I don't know how many Roms are excisting, but i am looking for an ICS or JB which i can tweak without additional Apps realy good, and which doesn't need much Memory and Ram and also i can overlclock up to 2.0GHz(not necessary) or i can use the Lupus Kernel.

I have the SlimBean Jelly Bean Rom with the Sony Theme and Sony Addons like Media Apps or Walkman. It´s really fast and for me the best rom

OK thanks, i will try it.

So now i only need one thing, and that is the Lupus v4 Kernel for JB, because thats the last one which i can OC up to 2.0GHz

Jelly Zeus is another good jellybean ROM with Google apps allready installed so you don't have to flash them. Turbo ui is a good kernel to use with it

I know it can be confusing, so it is best to flash kernel recommended by rom owner.
But, i can try to explain:
There are two (2) type of roms:
-Stock (based on sony's firmware)
-Aosp (or aokp, cm or miui)
So, you have Stock gb and ics, but no Stock jb.
For Aosp based roms, you have cm7 as gb based, cm9 as ics based and cm10 as jb based (i don't know what is miui based on)
To be able to boot rom, you need kernel that match type of rom you want to install.
Some version of kernels can boot dual type roms:
Example:
1: ics/gb Stock - can boot ics and gb roms based on Stock firmware
2: ics/gb cm - can boot ics and gb based on aosp ics gb roms
3:lupus v8 jb can boot Aosp jb and Aosp ics roms, and MAYBE that's the
kernel you are searching.
The best way is to search in kernels thread based on rom you want to install

dude, that makes a lot of sense, ever since i installed the kernel that i mentioned earlier i have been having random issues with some custom roms
usun lupus ics v12 720 on verizon xperia play
Gin2jelly bean rom is not recognized by my computer and wom was amazing but i dont like when developers put too much apps in it . i guess the problem was the kernel i am using
ICE CREAM PURENESS : laggiest thing ever, dont know why
[ROM][GSM] Gamer 4 [Ultimate Sony experience], this rom i wanted to install because it has on screen softkey buttons. so i could use those instead of the hardware one, but have to uninstall because the didnt appear on screen and has lots of apps.
SLIMBEAN: WELL I COULDNT INSTALL IT AND KERNEL KEPT ON BOOTING LIKE CRAZY.
NOW I AM BACK WITH THE BEST ICS ROM IN MY OPINION THE TRUE ANCESTOR FINAL EDITION, WHICH I LOVE BUT IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOFTKEY BUTTONS
but now that you clarify this i might try to flash a jelly bean kernel since google claims that jellybean is the one to beat lag.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYING.
greetings from a real newbie

Well, just to add, if you want gaming perfomance, use gb roms. Ics is stable these days, but little slower then gb in gaming. Jb is only Aosp based, it's good in gaming, but some things are still "work in progress".
Ps: we where all noobs at some point
Ask whatever you want (just do not ask for ETA)

ICSNEO2PLAY thats what i read at the end of all your posts, i assume you use that rom
TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROM, IT SEEMS THAT I CAN ALREADY INSTALL IT SINCE I HAVE AN ICS KERNEL.
DOES IT HAVE ON SCREEN BACK HOME AND TASK BUTTONS?

Eta is asking when something will come out. Neo2play is the Rom that he made and its in his Signature that's why you see it in all his posts. That rom doesn't haven't screen buttons but it does give you lots of choice in what you use to fully customize your phone through aroma installer. It should work if you have an ics kernel but it has to be a stock ics kernel not aosp. If your using true ancestor then that means neo2play should work on the sane kernel
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

True ancestor rom, as my rom also, is based on Stock ics for Neo L (since that phone have exactly same hardware as play, minus touchpafs). My rom came out later, but i modded it more, and put aroma installer with bunch of rom options (gamers like less things installed, casual gamers sacrifice ram for the sake of extra stuff).
Some roms have osb (on screen buttons), but you'll have to search for it.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

If you really want osb then you can use markphytons nxt ics revolution rom. He removed it from xda but you can probably find a link for it somewhere in q&a section

[Q] Best rom for gaming?

What rom do you guys recommend in terms of raw gaming power, GB rom? ICS rom? JB rom? CM9/10/10.1?
Please tell me actual experience on the rom and not just showing benchmarks, I don't trust them(benchmarks) as they don't really apply to real life use

As far as I've experienced, stock ICS is the best!

I'd recommend EOS with OpenSEMC Beta 3 or stock JB with modded kernel for OC.

Stock JB with Forzaferrarileo kernel/Stock GB with DooMKerneL/EOS/CM9.

If you're looking for performance, I'd use Stock JB with DoomKernel to use OC. But, as I see, there's not so much performace differences between Stock JB and other custom roms based on AOSP/CM.

Wow looks like everyone had different opinions. Thank you all for the feedback I think I'm gonna take the time and try every rom to see which one suits me best

For gaming performance, you can try Trinity ROM & Kernel. But I haven't test it yet, not sure.
Sent from my flying Snapdragon Xperia™ S using Tapatalk 4 :laugh:

All stock Sony ROMs.

I didn't try any custom rom
but for stock rom, JB is the best
.200 and .211 are both great and smooth

u should try trinity's kernel for stock based ROMS not only can u overclock processor but also overclock the 2D and 3D GPU performance.....i played Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 4 and not a single stutter.

Or try PAC with Kernel 3.4. It is really fast even without OC.
Possibility to overclock CPU/GPU will be included in later releases.
Camera/Torch is working with today's release, but only 8MPX photos for now.
