Why only 125MB left, what all apps are you running, I am running Stock kernel w/o any RAM tweaks and I generally have about 150 - 175Megs of Free RAM.
With this the Game runs pretty smooth and have seen no issues so far, just check the avail memory before starting game in Settings and stop some apps which u don't need and then run the game.

Root your phone then install titanium backup or systemCleanUp from maarket and delete widgets and system apps that you don't use
OR
Try this app Ram Managerand choose HARD GAMING and apply it then run NFS (needs root)

i had that problem to try to reinstall

[Q] My xperia play can run the games smoothly only right after reboot

I usually play Fifa 12 with my xplay. it run so smooth but only when I reboot the phone before I play the game. So when I play Fifa12 during the day, There is so much lag and slowdown, Even with Hard gaming mode of ram manager pro and use fast reboot app before I play the game. on the other hand, if I reboot my phone. Every game run so smooth and I don't need to change to hard gaming mode in ram manager pro.
Any suggestion ?
ps. Sorry for my english

Because your system is probably using more ram in the middle of the day, after a reboot your system uses alot less & slowly increases, you should uninstall unused apps & close unwanted services & maybe use Advanced Task Killer (From The Play Store)

I had tried advance task killer to kill any task that show on screen. But the result is the same, the game (Fifa12) is still laging so much. Cannot be compared with its performance when reboot.

why on earth still people hold on to Task Killers when tons of reliable articles already prove they are useless and do more harm than good? oh good god

Android booster. Frees ram, actually freezes apps not kills them, saves battery. The problem is your ram is being used up. Easy fix though!

Uninstall the task killer if you are using one and let Android manage the apps on your phone by itself.

I tried it this morning. It look like just another task killer, and the result is no change, the game is still lag after I hit optimize button.

really ? Is it more effective than ram manager pro ? So, which option in v6 do you choose for you xplay ? I will try it to night and test for 1-2 days. Then I will back to report the result.

I use v6 supercharger, the kernel script they have and the die hard battery script both work great and I can go 17hrs with heavy use with gaming!

i have the same problem , it runs great after a reboot and gets slower. I installed v6 supercharge which made the homescreen blazing fast , but the games still lag after sometime. I even set a widget for "engine flush" , which may or may not help , im not sure.
Im using die hard launcher and super ledded 512hp

V6 Supercharger settings ?
Hi,
First thread I read so far where people are mentioning they use V6Supercharger on XPeria Play.
I have a question :
Do you use V6 Supercharger on the stock 2.3.4 Sony-Ericsson ROM or are you applying it on a custom ROM ?
If on the stock ROM, what settings are you putting in ?
I ask before I tried to apply V6 Supercharger on my R800i under Stock SE ROM without success.
Frozen boot screen of death...
Had to recover through ClockWorkMod. Thanks ClockWorkMod !
Thanks for your feedback !

Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far, I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,

[Q] Boost our Xperia Play's gaming performances

Hello all,
I am the owner of a rooted xperia play with stock rom.
I've installed link2sd so that I can save some ram and space: moved most of my apps on the SD card, and deleted some unwanted native apps (Bruce Lee, Fifa, etc...) and "freezed" the others I did not dare to delete.
But this is not enough for me to play games like GTA III and Dead Trigger smoothly, even with a task killer and airplane mode set on. I suffer from many lags while playing greedy games.
I've done some researches on this forum and found some potential solutions:
- Using boosting apps like: gamebooster, ram manager pro, chainfire 3D pro, etc...
- Overclock the processor up to 1,6ghz with setCPU or other apps.
-Increase SD card performance and optimize ram as explained below:
Increase SD card performance
1. Navigate to /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 folder in your Xperia Play
2. Press and hold on the read_ahead_kb file. This action will pop out a new menu.
3. Choose Open With Text Editor option
4. Change the current value to 1024
5. Save your changes and exit
Optimize RAM
1. Grab the Juwe_Update18082011_RAM_Script.zip
2. Extract the file and put it on your SD card
3. Launch the Root Explorer
4. Navigate to /system/etc/
5. Create a new folder, named it as init.d
6. Copy the S97ramscript file into that folder
7. Set the perms of S97ramscript file to rwxrwxrwx
What is your advice? Can I use safely one (or several) of those solutions? What are the risks? Which solution is really effective and will allow me to play demanding games?
My xperia play is still under warranty so I don't want to lose it. Which means I don't want to try custom roms or custom kernels... Until my warranty ends.
Thanks for your help!

Well, the biggest performance boost, overclocking, requires a custom kernel. Not much else really makes a huge difference
Also, I believe using the init.d directory requires a custom kernel as well

Why not just use v6 supercharger?

Did not know about this one...
It has a lot of success judging from the number of pages in the official v6 Supercharger thread...
But seems a bit complicated to me. Does it really works? Have you noticed some improvements in your performances?
More importantly, does it preserve the phone's warranty? I've read somewhere that it can be uninstalled so I guess so, but I'd like a confimation first.
Thanks for your help.

Look, the amount of times I have seen this type of thread open is astounding I would like to point that you use gingerbread any version (2.3.7 Moded to look like rom) and a custom kernel such as Doomlords etc. Supercharge or use a rom like Dike's. You only get best performance with using less apps, rebooting the phone before playing a game, task killers, clean your cache, installing phone eco friendly apps and use a governer for your preference!

No you wont because you have to root, rooting voids the warranty anyway but you can simply unroot after...

I saw a vast improvement in my phone with V6. Its really easy. Just place the scirpt on your SDcard. Download script manager, then select the V6 script, check run as root, and hit go. Follow the on screen selection.
I did the following
512 HP super unleaded (Bulletproof home)
Nitro Lag nullifier
Seriously.... BIG difference in my phone. I could b playing a game and hit the home button.. BAM... there instant no lag no redraw, nothing just all there ready to go. Seriously cannot praise it enough.

nice..

Just to share my experience.
I've bought Ram Manager Pro finally.
I know it's probably not as effective as an overclock or V6 Supercharger, but I do not want to mess with the kernel, custom roms or scripts.
I'm running on stock gingerbread rooted, I've removed the bloatwares and I think it's enough modifications already. I don't want any bugs or troubles with stability so I don't want to modify the OS too much.
Anyway, I'm using Advanced Task Killer along with Ram Manager Pro... And it works! Really.
I was not able to play GTA because it was too laggy, but with Ram Manger Pro set on "Hard Gaming", I was able to improve the graphics (max details, dynamic shadows, 75% clipping and 80% resolution) and it plays rather nicely. It's not really smooth (not like 60 FPS) but it's far enough to be playable and enjoyable.
It wasn't without Ram Pro Manager. SO it's worth trying. Don't expect miracles but some gain in performances, surely.
Maybe I should try an alternative launcher as I heard it can improve performances as well... Any suggestions for a light and modest one?
Also, is there anyway to prevent Maps, Facebook, Crash bandicoot or Super Monkey Ball to start automatically even with task killer? I can understand (to a certain extent) that Maps and Facebook needs to start and connect, but Crash Bandicoot and Monkey Ball??? Seriously? WTF?

How do i boost my Arc S perfomance?

Ok guys, i installed ICS 4.0.4 from the Sony site then later removed all the unwanted bloatwares....
Installed LINK2SD and now i got 340 mb free internal storage..
But when it comes to playing games, it lags alottttt. I used task killer, history cleaner all of it still no use. Games lag. Temple run lags the most... I tried swapper but i dont think it helped either (or maybe i did the steps wrong)
How do i make my phone fast?

ics will lag
SUGGESTIONS
1. go to settings and force stop each application manually(don't use any task killer)!!!
2. then go to cached memory(press the menu button) and force stop every application....
3. IF using any custom kernel then try to overclock at a higher freq..(be careful!!overclocking is dangerous)
**ICS rom can run smoothly(NON GAMING) on your device but due to low amount of ram it can't play every application without lag:crying:
**FOR GAMING ON YOUR DEVICE I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO INSTALL GB>>:good:

Dude, flash Xperia Pureness ROM v13 and Sega kernel v9 (with WiFi modules) and you will get the best gaming performance on ICS. Ever!

No problem with games on ICS.
Backup your imprtant data. Repair with pc companion. Enjoy a faster device.
Ps. Dont use pc companion if unlocked bootloader.
I did this first time ICS went out and i have no lagg, most games are smooth
Remember to set both animationsettings to 0.5x feels smoother

the roms that dont have many ram eating apps
for example gin2jellybean 1.9.8 is one of them
aurora play is great in gaming too and it too nice
but there are some problem with gb roms so i recommend krissdee hybrid rom
im using it now

Hi, i have this problem too before. Which class of sd card your using?
If you have sd card class 4 then dont move the game to sd or just install it to internal memory.
I dont know if this help but you should try it. Now i have no lag when playing games like mc4,asphalt7,hoc,real racing3,etc.
Im on aurora play, smartass2 1.2 ghz+sio.
