Hey guys,
For a couple of days, I got my Xperia S. It's very fast and smooth, it feels great.
Before I had the Xperia X8 ;P
At the moment my XS runs on Stock Kernel, Stock ROM, Bootloader is locked and its unrooted.
So, today I played Modern Combat 4 and its runs very well, but sometimes I've got some lags and I was wondering because the Xperia S must be fast enough to runs this game complete smoothly, isn't it?
And now my question is: Is it worth it to flash a custom kernel and custom rom?
Will my Xperia S be faster and for example Modern Combat 4 will be runs smooth?
I often read that Xperia SSpeed Kernel is faster than Stock Kernel and it will overclocking the CPU (safely).
What does this mean "safely overclocking"?
If you overclocking your phone, the processor will be break down faster ... but I want to use this phone a couple of years ...
Because I don't want that my phone bricks or something like that, because I love my XS ...
I hope you understand me, sorry for my bad english ...
greetings from Germany

According to me it is worth it. I mess wit the ROMs almost every week, just for fun, but because they are faster as well, however if modern combat 4 does not run smoothly, it must be sony original software, because I use sony stock rom, with modifications (XTX rom) with stock kernel and it works fine. I suggest that you start with the roms what do not require bootoader unlock. According to me it cant go worse. And if you feel the phone still is slow then unlock your bootloader and try custom kernels.

Dilemma
Hi, I'm currently undecided between Mooded's ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 and Arconium ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515148.... Any advice?? Or any suggestions for other roms?? Am looking for something stable and fast and..well.. generally awesome lol...Any help is appreciated... They both seem quite the same based on what im reading.. Mooded's ICS can update OTA? how big would the updates be?? when it says OTA does it download the whole package again??
JJ Hybrid
I would suggest JJ hybrid Rom as the Xperia Launcher ROMS become slow with time. I have been using JJ for quite sometime and I am pretty happy with it. Make sure you first do a FULLWIPE before installing this ROM. It has given me great battery life and unparalleled performance. Just try it and I am sure you wont regret it.
1) Install latest Sony ICS baseband via flashtool.
2) Install stock Sony Kernel + CWM recovery.
3) Do a full wipe: i.e.Factory Reset, clear cache, clear Dalvik Cache and then format system.
4) Install JJ.
Make sure you sync all your contacts with Google before installing.
I would say Arconium ICS...its smooth..it has same look as stock..i m sure u will be satisfied with this ROM
If you care about games, ICS is not great with them, I tried Arconium ICS and while being a great ROM I wasn't able to play Temple Run, that's a common problem with every ICS rom from what I've read
So, if you don't care about games, go straight for it xD
Thanks guy for your reply =) so i installed Mooded's ICS rom anyway and I'm kinda liking it.
@romiltherock
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Can i know what's your antutu benchmark score and the configurations you use? kernel, cpu freq, etc etc...
@arpith.fbi
I've tried arconium and comparing it to mooded i think i'll go with mooded.. mooded offer update OTA (i havent tried) and also included notification bar toggle, 3 launchers to choose from , custom themes, battery mod, etc etc.. also, using the same config @1.4Ghz, performance governor, moving from arconium to mooded gave me +100 in Antutu.
@Shark107
The games issue seems to be on the game's devs..so i'll just wait for the update from Imangi. ICS is so much "smarter" lol.. besides games gets boring but not customizing your phone. it never gets old lol
KA 17.2
I'm Using KA 17.2 atm, KA16 had several errors where you get a frozen screen when using browser or playstore.

Sorry for the long title. Had quite a few questions, was hoping some of you nice people could help
1 - Is it possible to install a custom GingerBread ROM with a locked bootrom? I know you can't do ICS due to the kernel changes, but was wondering if a gingerbread ROM was possible?
2 - Where is the best place to buy an unlock for a locked bootloader? (o2, can't do it myself)
3 - If I purchase an unlock (network/bootrom?) will it be permanent, or if I flash back to stock will it break it?
4 - Is anyone using any ICS Roms with Xperia Play? Is it worth doing, or were Sony justified in saying it wrecks the gaming? Considering getting an ICS ROM, but would like to know if it's worth doing.
Thanks to anyone who can answer any of these! :-D
I love ics to death. Why? Because I love how much easier it is to use. I run AOKPLAY and it is so smooth. I think Sony is just being lazy in not releasing ICS for us.

if you want best gaming experience use GB ROM
1. Many options
2. No clue
3. Permenant
4. I'm using Aokplay- great ics experience, smootha and stable enough. However many games don't work. Personally, I think my gaming experience can handle the hit ICS roms bring, because ICS is VERY polished

1. Any ROM that does not require a change in kernels can be flashed on a locked bootloader.
2. http://unlock-bootloader.com
3. It will be permanent.
4. I use FXP125 as my daily driver. It has very few errors compared to when ICS first hit the Play. Gaming is spotty, as it depends on the game. Most Gameloft games do not work for me.

they look like same thing
So after a year of loving my Play I've finally decided to move on to a Galaxy Note (and boy do I LOVE it!). This leaves my Play as an extra device that I figured I would make into a 100% gaming device. I'm looking for a ROM+Kernel that will get me the BEST performance for playing games both emulated and Android originals. I have no preference if it's GB or ICS but I assume it will end up as GB.
If its just purely gonna be a gaming device just flash a stock ftf, then flash a custom kernel and get rid of everything except the gaming part! Maybe even use an a2sd script that will help maximise space. That's basically what most of the roms are anyway just heavily themed stock based stuff

Simply install the doomkernel and the ics2gb Rom overclock your Device to 1.6ghz and you got the fastest Rom which exist,.

Hey Guys,
I'm getting a used r800x (most likely with a locked bootloader) what would you say is the best route to go to get the best gaming experience (with links if possible)
Thanks a lot!
Unlock the bootloader. Get an overclocked kernel. Keep it from updating to 2.3.4
This is great ROM!

hi mate
the best rom for arc/arc s will be jellysandwhich rom with xarc kernel
smoothest and the lightest
almost all hd games smooth and it roxx
i've been using jellysandwich, but with latest update, and the apps2sd auto support, that doesn't work, i can't use link2sd, so pretty bad. JJ Hybrid, it's kind nice, but the keyboard on browser lags as hell
so far I know the best rom is Xperia Ice Bean 4.2n by jader see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786871 and his working on new projects called Xperia Ice Bean X , still with some bugs, but he is working on themhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863036
This is definitely a matter of opinion, but I always feel at home and also feel I get the most out of my device in terms of customization, theme wise and hardware tweaking in general with CyanogenMod.
I'm currently running CM9 and I have no issues, battery is great, no choppy performance issues and with theme choose, everything looks great to the eye.

If you don't care about graphical user interface ,defintely JJ hybrid rom is great (fast - compatible with games - has ROM control as well) ,few bugs though like wifi hotspot http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1537717
If you care about having nice user interface with reasonable game performance with lots of free ram available you can try Jelly sandwich http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1836993 or the Remix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1884958
Also Xperia Purness worth a try as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788701
For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

If you want a ROM with stability, you shoud try Arconium ICS 4.0.

Hi,
in past two months I have tried most of the popular ROMs. First of all I would not recommend you to use custom ROMs with locked bootloader. For some reason even if a ROM is supposed to work with locked BL I would experience bootloops or other problems. After I have unlocked it the bootloops dissapered. If you decide to unlock it first thing to try is CM10 just to see how jellybean looks. It works great with no problems but the camera is 480p and I dont think that is a compromise anyone should make. But still go for it just to see what we're missing out on . Of ICS rROMS I can recommend Ultimate HD (you will need to temper with it to enable XLoud) and JJ Hybrid (for stock ICS look).
Performance wise the GB is the best for Arc S. Even though the benchmark results were the same for GB/ICS/JB when I've tested it, if you are gaming GB will give you the best performance. Also camera and sound work best. If it doesnt bother you to use the older version of android go with GB. If you unlock the BL then you can use Doomkernel for GB and OC and UV the phone for better performance and battery life. There is Setxperia app that works great with Doomkernel in GB but gives me problems with Rush kernel so I cant use it in ICS.
You can go with the stock .42, root, delete anything you don't need. And update to .62. That alone would give you the best possible performance you can get out of Arc. If you unlock the bootloader then you can overclock it to 1600 MHz and undervolt at least -50mV whitch gave me about 3 days of battery life and faster phone.
