[q] Which rom is better - NXT ICS vs stock GB - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I thinking about rom changing. I have 2.3.4 stock rom with doom kernel and I thinking about change for NXT ICS. I really think about ics because Zen pinball is now open for other phones than nvidia tegra but requires ICS. I read many topics and I think that could be the best for me. But I have some questions - all emulators works fine with this rom? In 90% I'm playing emulators - rest are board games (like Catan or Carcassonne). Do you think it is a good idea to change rom for NXT ICS with doomkernel? Thanks for all answers!

It depends on what you want to use the rom for. If you are a hardcore gamer I recommend you stay with stock but if you don't play a lot of high detailed games then the NXT ics do just fine. Ics also comes with some cool features, so you can flash the NXT ics.
Feel free to P.M me about any problem

Fastest Rom for Arc?

Wich is the fastest combination of kernel+rom for arc?
Thank you!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
I'm using cm7.2 fxp115 of FXP and it's very fast and recommended
I havent arc, but xplay is similar. I can recommend u cm7 with doomkernel for cm7 (im using one for stock and its really fast after oc to 1.21 ghz) or arconium and doomkernel for stock.
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v11 (1.21ghz)
I'm using CM9 with FXP kernel, fastest ROM I've ever used. It's even faster with DoomKernel ICS, but the WiFi doesn't work.
Miui is the best, ics is very bug slow xd

CM7, Arconium 8 or MIUI(DiMiui or G-MIUI. They're Gingerbread roms both).
I don't recommend ICS yet because Sony hasn't released the code yet. There are some decent ICS roms though, but I'd wait.
Blend miui is better

doomkernel+arconium 8.1 is fastest for me
doomkernel+Xperia Mod 6 gives best combination of performance and battery life if you ask me.

Yup i have this setup and it is amazing
I've tested pretty much all the roms available for the arc.
Fastest ones IMO are:
GB: Acronium 8.1
ICS: JJ's Hybrid Rom V4
I'm using JJ's Hybrid Rom V4 atm and the speed and responsiveness for an ICS rom is amazing. Also it's really lite.

I agree that the battery life isn't amazing with JJ's ICS rom, but for me the battery lasts for about 36 hours (latest leaked ICS kernel and settings changed with no-frills cpu control) with moderate use (no games or streaming videos). About 12 hours less then a good GB rom but that's ok with me. As long as it can last at least a whole day without charging.
KA14 is the best!
I have waiting KA14 to update. But the link was die, can't download it.

Dixperia 2 or True Ancestor v1.6 which best rom?

I'm new to XDA and use the True Ancestor v1.6, but wondered if the Dixperia 2 is better.
In the opnion of you, which one is the best?
What is the difference between the two?
hehehe
Xperia NXT is best, But to choose from those 2, dixperia 2 is way better.

What the NXT has better or different than the other? And in the 3 games which does better?
They're all pretty much the same. Tried each for as a daily driver for a good amount of time.
I switched from NXT to Ancestor and now to Dixperia 2, Dixperia is the first rom (with lupus kernel) wich allows me to play N.o.v.a 3 (+ Tegra plugin on Chainfire) realy smooth, i have OC my CPU to 1,5Ghz but comparing to other 2 roms, dixperia has much more gaming performance in my opinion.
TA is cool, but Dixperia has better performance, you all should install it. But btw, the all ROMs are pretty much same. Only differences like bloatware removed/some of them are not removed, other wallpapers, performance, included apps like Root Explorer etc etc...

You didnt use TA?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I used both, and I think True Ancestor is better, I have tried several roms, I really liked JokaWild, it is very smooth for gaming, but some games does not work now i'm using Xperia NXT 1.2, all the games works good, it is not as smooth as JokaWild but runs really great. This is the best ROM I have tried, but I'm looking for an ICS ROM that runs great for gaming, Markphyton's UnOfficial ICS Test Release Xperia Play 4.0.4 is really ok, it runs smooth for daily use, but some games has lag
true-ancestor is better on my phone
xperia nxt and dixperia 2 run really good for gaming.
For other purposes, TA is slightly better, But i would still prefer Xperia NXT.
Gin2Jelly is best for me
lol, its eyecandy, not for gaming...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
in my opinion for gaming TrueAncestor and gin2jelly are the best, with the same setting and kernel than other rom ( NXT and Dixperia ) the game run smoother with no lag.
then you have dixperia, very performant.
and finaly next rom, the more complete ( application, reboot menu...) but with the same kernel/setting than the other you got lag.
for me the gaming test is Backstab in outdoor level, if your rom run smooth with this game you could play to every game.
dixperia 2 is lighter i think...
i'm noob here just trying to help....:fingers-crossed:
U guys seems to be missing the point here. Each rom MAY BE the same but the diff that they all hav is their tweaks. Each rom hav diff tweak specially made for them. Thats what differs them from another. I think DiXperia 2 hav everything now. Just sayin.
Neither.
Try NXT ROM. It 's basically the "Value Pack" that users asked after sony decided not to bring ICS on XperiaPlay.

The Best of Both Worlds

No doubt there are many threads on here asking for "The Best ROM" or "the ROM for gaming", etc. Since unlocking my Xperia Play R800AT, I've flashed a few ROMs ranging from CM7 to CM10, and as of the latest the Pacman Jellybean ROM. None were particularly excellent, and as I've heard before gaming on the Xperia Play is best suited to Gingerbread.
Are there any other claims that say otherwise? I've been stuck on Gingerbread so long that I specifically bought this phone so I could have a newer Android OS, but the gaming just isn't there as far as speed goes. Is there maybe an ICS ROM that gives Gingerbread a run for its money in gaming? I'm just looking for a solid ROM that works well.
Thanks!
Face it dude there is no rom for gaming above gingerbread. Get over it.

[Q] any good Jelly bean-ROM for the R800i BL unlocked?

As the title says.
And the ROM should be good for daily use and if it's possible, have the gamepads working.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend express ICS ROM. Its really smooth and touch pads work. There are some nice jelly bean ROMs but games don't work very well. I also heard chrisds ics ROM is pretty nice. Just make a backup and try them to see which you like best. Also I would recommend turbo kernel 3.1 because it is compatible with all rom types and had multi boot.

rom: fxp cm 10

Odp: [Q] any good Jelly bean-ROM for the R800i BL unlocked?
Well, ICS and JB are having pretty much the same problems with the gamepad and touchpads.
If you are playing a lot then GB Rom like nxt LE would be the best.
If not then I know 3 good smooth roms.
PAC - with fireworks and sh*tload of options, the least smooth of these three (my favorite)
Turbo JB - half fireworks, half clean. Jellyzeus - clean jelly bean (there's not even percentage battery) but it's definitely the smoothest of all JB roms.
Kernel for GB option for max performance - lupus gb
Kernel for max performance in JB/ICS - Turbo kernel v3.1, no doubts.
Well, you can use GB with turbo kernel but it's not optimised for it and you'll get like 500-2k points more in benchmark if you'll use lupus gb for gb.
Current high score in benchmark is 8600 and average is about 6000.

Actually gaming is better on ICS than jelly bean because on ics i can play NFS and other 3d games while on jelly bean I hey extreme lag or game won't open.

I've tried both. PAC was nice and most games worked but I couldn't play NFS most wanted which I just bought a week ago so it made me not want to use it. Now I'm using ICS. Extreme ROM was probably the best ics one I've tried for r800x but I like the miui look and feel. Not sure if your question was asked to me but I responded anyway

Yeah it was, I guess you've had pac installed in slots 2-4,right ? If yes then your sd speed could not be enough, I've tried vc in the exact same rom but it was a lot flawless on the internal than on sdcard. Could you now flash pac on slot 2-4 (i assume you have 3.1 turbo kernel from your sig) and tell me what sdcard you've got because pac lags like hell for me in slots 2-4 even though I have class 10 uhs1 card and this problem has appeared recently for me, please post your results in the turbo kernel thread if you can also it would be perfect if this pac would be v6.1
Thanks in advance.

I run FreeXperia's CM10 FXP209 build on my Internal and I have Spizzy's AuroraPlay in Slot 1 of my SD Card. FXP's CM10 is pretty good at doing things. I can't give it a real analysis for gaming because I really have only ventured into emulation and Minecraft. Minecraft works pretty well, and emulation is almost flawless if you have the right emulators.
HINT: If you're looking for PS1 emulation, look no further than PSXe Android. It's far better than RetroArch.
I use krisdee's ICS rom with lupus stock gb/ics kernel have this for almost two weeks and i can say it is very good for everyday use
To me this is the best JB rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952220
EVERY JB ROM FOR XPERIA PLAY STILL HAS TOUCHPAD LAG BUG. And still nobody discoverd how to fix it. But besides that, JB roms are perfectly working.
ICS and GB has almost the same compatibilty for games (of course GB has 100%). So, if your're priority is gaming stay on GB.
GB> install NXT Rom 1.3
ICS> install Hybrid Rom

[Q] IS all development is stopped ?

well this is question that haunt all people out here. i am asking people that is all the development is now halted for our willy. ? i am not developer but i am asking why is so ... i mean i know willy don't have GPU. well this thing is there is right from the past. but people are still manage to get 4.0 and manged to make it working properly.. And is development is stopped because we don't have kernel 3 for our willy ? will kernel 3 ever be able to get compiled for this little buddy ???
i don't know, maybe someone will compile new kernel (; but there are ics roms which have no bugs at all. did you try wasimk's aokp or jordfaz's mini cm9? they work great and i didn't noticed any bugs we still have some development but it isn't as high as a year or two years ago. just take a look into ultrabeam series (; stone.cold is often updating his rom (;

Yes for the moment, all the developpement are stopped , as there is no more a big team of dev.
I ave make some personal port of gb rom, and they work like nexus me kikat edition, so i will upload them if i have some free time.
That would be great..
