[Q]Almost giving up on NOVA3

current phone specs:
rooted r800i on stock 2.3.4 build .42
Been trying to run NOVA 3 since forever
I just get stuck on the loading screen then it brings me back to the xplay interface
I want to stay on stock rom (I guess until a fully functional ICS rom comes to light =p) unless there is a rom out there that really does the job for gaming. Or a workaround for a stock rom could help as well.
Anyhows the roms I've tried are icecream pureness on doom's v3 kernel and unofficial stock ICSv4 on doom's v3, and lupus linaro. Unfortunately these roms "doesn't like to play games that much"
Thanks in advance guys!

Have you tried using RAM manager? If not, then auto memory manager which lets you set your min frees?
The game works fine for me on Gin2JB

hmmm... i don't think i have a ram issue, maybe its the internal memory but i use link2sd so i still have some mb (130 or so) or my sdcard which is only class 4?? I can't really tell T__T
but thanks for the reply guys! :good:

How much internal memory have you got?

For some reason this game lags alot when playing online with 10 or more players.

NXT ROM 1.3 basband. 58 enhanced, LockedBootloader, game works normally, although i wuld like to overclock to 1.4-1.6 withouth unlock bootloader...

Have you moved the games to the sd card? If yes just move it to the internal memory

I'm already on an unlocked bootloader and I want to OC mine as well. I'd try that rom but will I have no issues if I restore my data from titanium backup?

Thank you again everyone for your time on checking out my issue :good:

If you are on unlock bootloader (so i presume with a custom kernel too) why dont u overclock already?

working with a little of lag in my xplay with Stock ICS Xperia Play 4.0.4 with last LupusKernel

Yeah, I'm gonna do that now.
Will now go back to stock ICS w/ doomV3 temporarily because of the new Adreno drivers.
I just hope It doesn't mess up my other games when I do a data restore on Titanium backup
Thanks again guys! I'll report back if something happens! :good:

ICS stock

Is there any way to get ICS stock on r800x? I saw a lot of stock based ROMs but they were all only gsm. I don't care if service works just want a booting ROM. I know r800x didn't get ICS beta but are there any that work or have been ported. Thanks

rom: cm9 official

kernel: Turbo v3.1

You can already install ics. You just need to flash Doom's ics beta kernel then flash rom via CWM. The install process is the same as installing any custom roms into your device. You wont get phone service btw.

Try using whatever kernel you want, what is very important is that flash the correct FTF. Try using an R800x FTF and flash any kernel and ROM. Also you can try using a CDMA Neo L ICS Firmware (If there's any) and flashing it without the kernel, just flash an ICS Xperia Play kernel...

sadly there is no cdma version of neo l i think because i couldnt find one. Thanks anyway. (already used my 8 for today but ill thank you tomorrow. its free so why not )

A good bloatware removal app would be titanium backup, 'cause it let you choose which software to uninstall... An ICS ROM that is almost a clean rom, would be the Hybrid ROM by Krisdee...

R800X newcomer, general questions

Hi all, I am new to this phone and have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and installed lupas kernel v6. I have some questions, and have tried to find answers but am coming up empty. 1. My wifi will not connect, if there a fix? 2. I can't download anything with the stock browser, it immediately fails. Fix? 3. Is there A good daemon to control over clocking? 4. Any opinions on which room to install? I'm currently on 2.3.3 stock. Thank you so much, I am no noob but new to this phone and look forward to being an active part of this community.

There aren't many gb roms for r800x they are all stock based but if you want ics or jb I would recommend cm9 for ics or slim bean or pac rom for jb. A gooz stock based gb rom is gin2 blur but id wait till the 22nd for that one because there will be a new update

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

That was probably it, and by wipe e every thing, you mean data, cache, and dalvik? Does wiping data remove recovery? And I need to do this AFTER I flash the kernel and not BEFORE?

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

i have just purchased an xperia play r800x from my local retail, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, not verizon, my phone is stuck on 2.3.3, and i really want to update to ICS but im really not sure what to do, i paid the $15 fee to get my bootloader unlocked from alejandrissimo, nice guy i might add, and im really needing some guidance on were to go now, any help would be awesome, and im sorry to jump this thread but i really didnt think the forums wanted 3 or 4 post of noob questions like mine, i dont want to mess my phone up and i dont have insurance on it, thanks in advance

First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.

GB Rom for R800x

I have an R800x with unlocked bootloader. I've flashed the Lupus GB kernel and I'm looking for a good gaming ROM. There don't seem to be too many choices for a GB rom on r800x with CDMA service. I'm guessing COLA or Darkforest are my only choices? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Why aren't there many r800x gaming roms?

All I've seen are jellybean and ics roms that I really don't want. I want service on my phone but don't want jellybean/ics because of it's performance compared to gb. Any good r800x gaming roms?

To answer your question. I have tried several roms both on the Verizon model and my current GSM model. Stock debliated with no v6 supercharger or scripts gains you the best performance. Especially on Verizon's as it was stock based firmware. I believe I still have my old nandroid backup laying around. Stock debloated 2.3.3. Do not get 2.3.4. VZ broke the Google sync and it was never fixed
Because 99% of the devs didn't have an r800x. And as Sony only released ICS as a beta for GSM it was never successfully ported to Verizon's model.
I owned an R800x before getting a GSM model.

It's a nandroid backup. Put it on your phone and boot into cwm and restore it like its a back up. You have to be on 2.3.3 first.
