i am currently running Ice Cream Pureness rom with stock ics kernel....but i tried to play real racing 2 which had very choppy gameplay....i initially thought that maybe the Arc S hardware isnt capable...but i read somewhere that it might be down to what rom & kernel i use. Is this true? If so, then what rom & kernel combination would be the best for full on performance?

I play real racing 2 with arconium 4 with KTG kernel, runs fine, but the game ONLY crash everytime I try to play the H2 NRGEE cup, also sometimes the menu lags
well...i am using jj's hybrid rom with stock kernel....the game ceased to be choppy but now it crashes & goes to homescreen without warning....which didnt really happen before
GB is not dead. i find GB more battery friendly and stable for playing HD games and besides there's not much difference ics and gb its only the numbers.
Not only the Numbers.
Theres a BIg Difference in ICs & gb

Any good roms for Xperia arc with stock kernel? I can't unlock my bootloader, so I'm bound to use the stock kernel.

From my experience with Pureness V10/11 its always laggy with games.
If you don't care about graphical user interface , definitely 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
For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

I'm using ArcKnigt Kernel RC 3.4.
I agree with you on Pureness V10 always laggy with hq games.
I tried JJ's Hybrid rom but i guess i am a UI person and changed myselft into Jelly Sandwich 6.2 with lots of free ram. Also i can play Real Racer, Agent Dash etc witout lag. :good:
But for a game performance i guess JJ > Jelly Sandwich 6.2 for my observe.
Didnt test Jelly Sandwich 7.0. Maybe that one a bit faster than 6.2 who knows?
definitely jj's hybrid rom with Archnight Kernel 3.5.1 . played most of the games without any problems on this rom.
i always recomande xperia ice bean 4.2n!
Try Xgamer 1.6...Its based on GB thot...Best gaming experience , lots of free ram...Gb 2.3.7 based...Ics is not meant for gaming mate...Understand this..and Gb is not dead yet...
GB is better than ICS in case of playing game, but if you like ICS, choose advanced stock kernel ,jelly sandwich or Ultimate HD 2.0 Rom.
The latest CM10 is amazing

I've tried xgamer 1.6 on xperia arc GB .64,used doomkernelv22 and had battery issues,my battery drained every 3 minutes 1%.So i don't know if that was problem with my phone and me only but i don't think xgamer ROM is ideal.
Till now i used GB .42-Arconium 8.2-doomkernel v22 and it was perfect,with games,smooth no lag,very,very stable.But...now i'm on GB.62 Stock rom-doomkernel v22 snd some new apps from xperia s,didn't try gamings yet but one is sure,GB rocks with gaming,ICS on the other hand,sucks.

To those who have tried CM10-based ROM either FXP, AOKP, or MIUI, I know CM10 has good performance and smoothness all-around,
but I'm curious about these 2 things
How is the gaming performance, mainly Temple Run which I play a lot when waiting or sitting around?
How is the photo quality from camera compared to stock ROM?
(I never tried CM-based ROM so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it, and also I heard that Titanium-backup doesn't work, so I can't restore applications data, which means there'll be lots of work to re-customize the apps .)

Yeah try Cm10 fxp142 or fxp143 (I think fxp143 will come out tomorrow).
Firstly, gaming is amazing! Best gaming ROM I've ever tried thanks to project butter and jelly bean. Modern Combat 3 runs smoothly, and temple run flawlessly.
Secondly, the camera is camera ics from play store. Download it and give it a go and make a judgement if that's good enough for you. Also adfree removes ads on camera ICS, so that's pretty much everybody's set up.
Conclusion: get cm10. Its awesome.
Hit the thanks button if I helped

CM10 sux at gaming bro. Idk about the camera quality but CM10 is too heavy and buggy. Use ICS Pureness. It's been the best ICS rom i came through so far.
for normal use even if in beta stage cm10 is much smoother and snapier than ICS. rest gaming is bit buggy but as more stable versions come it will also get better. for camera the libs are not available for jb so it has problems well most of the jb roms here use ics camera app.
i use paranoid android with fusion kernel 3.5 with no problems .

I've already tried most of Stock-based ROM on the forum, maybe I'll try that too, but I don't have performance issue or anything, even in my current setup in signature, everything (games and what not) runs smoothly,
I just wanted have a taste of Jelly Bean, and since Sony is not updating, I thought about CM10.

I bought my Xperia Play for gaming, so I'm searching a ROM that improves hardware performance.
Yesterday I installed my first custom ROM, a ICS ROM. It's really cool but ICS slows down games and emulators.
What is the best gaming ROM?
I looked the GB ROMs linked by Mayorse (NXT and Gin2JellyBean), what do you recommend?

I'm not sure if you're interested anymore about this question, judging from your post date, but I'll try to help anyway.or if anyone else is curious.
If you're looking for the best game play features your device has to offer with full touchpad support, go for a gingerbread based ROM. The roms below work great for emulators as well as other downloadable games like GTA and are super stable and fast.

If you care more about having the latest Jellbean features with less emphasis on gaming than these JB based roms are excellent. Touchpad support is a problem, but emulators work fine and most downloable games run at a decent pace. Stability and speed can sometimes be an issue, but this is rarely an issue.
KXP for PLAY (On screen navigation buttons are superb!!!)

Its GSM so yes its compatible with R800i and Its GB so yes it has working touchpads.
I've been experimenting with Xperia Play roms and kernals for the last week or so and this is my experience.
I first tried to just install the Lupus kernal for a stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. It allowed me to overclock to 1900mhz, but I felt like the the fluidity was still being held back a bit by being on gingerbread, plus I was running out of storage space and I remembered that custom roms can often help with that.
I then decided to jump to a 4.1.2 Jellybean rom with a Lupus kernal that allowed me to overclock to 1600mhz. I loved this rom, and even after I installed everything I could think to install I still had about 400mb of internal storage left. The only issue, which I predicted, would be that the phone just couldn't properly keep up with Jellybean, even under the best circumstances. It would be laggy, and certain games and emulators would jerk around and I would die because of it.
So finally I decided to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 because I read good things about it, and sure enough its been doing me wonders. It comes with its own kernal that allows you to overclock to 1600mhz as well, plenty of extra space, and I would go as far as to say that it's at a near "Apple" level of fluidity. There's only two issues I discovered with this rom, both of which were solved easily enough. The first is that it doesn't come with the ability to disable to auto-brightness, but this was solved by downloading an xperia app on the market designed the correct this. The second is that the circle button on the gamepad doesn't allow you to map anything to it, and always acts as the back button. This can be corrected by editing the keypad file in the settings, and then you're off to the races.
All in all from everything I've done and researched, I would say that CM 7.2 is the best overall rom for the Xperia Play when it comes to a balance of features and performance. If you need help setting up anything I mentioned, let me know
Very simple:
GB> NXT ROM 1.3 (1.4 is coming)
ICS> Hybrid Rom or u can try a STOCK SONY ICS XPERIA 2011 rom...
JB> Wel,, since there's still the touchpad problem, i didn't try many jb roms...

Hi, there are some good roms out there, if you are looking for an ICS rom maybe this is the best one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682#
But if you are looking for a Jelly Bean rom the best ones are P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus and Turbo UI
In my case I´m using P.A.C.man rom but it lags a little bit when you use the toucpads, but for example FPse emulator runs very smoothly
I suppose that the developer who created this rom in the next update will fix the touchpad lag issue, but if you don´t want to wait i think that the better rom and most updated one is Turbo UI.
I also have to say that this is only my oppinion and the only roms which I have tested were the ICS rom (and for me it had some problems with root) and P.A.C.man rom (which I´m actually using and I´m very happy with it).
& Merry Christmas
thankx, but which one of these have best performace for games ( P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus or Turbo UI) ?
you have pac-man, so can try gta vice city if working ?
I think that Turbo UI, but as you know the best experience is to try each one, and then you will know which one is better for your needs.
I haven't tried Vice City yet, but when I try it I will tell to you if it it's working smoothly. The great news are that I have heard that for some people it runs perfectly
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Sorry man but when I try to install GTA Vice City the phone says that I don't have enough space for intalling the game, and actually I have 134mb of free space. If I solve the problem I will try Vice City and I will tell you how it looks in P.A.C.man rom
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Hi, dont worry, i tried it already...
result - tried BETA ICS, AOKP-KXP, Slim Bean, PacMan, TurboUI...
TURBOUI is winner, GTA VC runs best on this ROM... So if somone looking for best performace rom , this is it (R3 + turbo kernel R8)...
but touchpad dont works at all tested rom, so i decided, if you want play games on xperia play, return back to GB+Holo launcher (NXE Light Edition) is a best choice...
thanks to all
I suggest CM9.1 fxp 152 + farenheit fix. Perfect ICS. I know ghere are still touchpad problems with JB. Stay away from Markphyton ics rom
can you try GTA Vice City on it ?
so i tried it,ň (FXP) and games run smoth.... maybe better then on turboui... but touchpad still dont work
Greetings!
I've seen a few JellyBean Roms for the Xperia Play (xda and YouTube), but have yet to test any of them out. Just wondering if anyone out there is sold on one particular JB Rom, if so, which one? Gingerbread based Roms are oldies but goodies since they tend to offer the best stability plus can be themed to look like ICS or JB but since there is no Xperia Play 2 in sight, I'd like to at least run a current firmware. I've read of lagging, force closes, and touchpad issues, which make me hesitant to make the jump but hope someone has found that JB gem that I'm looking for. Basically, the Rom should be as stable as can be (preferably still being updated), best battery performance, all the basics (camera, true multitasking, wifi, bluetooth, etc) are all functioning properly, and as for gaming, working touchpads (I do overclock which helps performance wise). Also, state the Kernel you use/prefer with the JB Rom, and why. Anyways, I'd prefer JB over ICS at this point and GB over ICS as well so it is what it is. Hope to see some suggestions, advantages/disadvantages, and helpful info regarding JB Roms for Xperia Play. Thanks for your time y'all!
Currently running Aurora Play v0.8 (GB 2.3.7) Rom, LuPuS GB v6 720 Kernel
Previouly ran with NXT Light Edition (GB 2.3.7) Rom, DooMKernel v14
The two kernels for jelly bean are lupus jb v8 or turbo kernel. They are both great. The best jelly bean roms are pac man and aokp that was modified by someone. Slimbean was also good but lots of people had problems with it though I never did. So far slimbean offers the best ram but pac is the most stable so you should go with that. Really the best thing you can do is try them and see which one suits you best
