[Q] Best ICS ROM for HD gaming with Xperia controls + fast?

I'm looking for an ICS ROM which doesn't mess with my battery because of wifi drivers, half of my ram, can't record video and can't run GTA3 for more than eight seconds (...*cough*CM9*cough*...)
I'm looking for something that can play Shadowgun with Xperia controls, AOSP themed, runs fast, deodexed, isn't a ram or battery hog, and is fast.
Can't choose between Darkforest ICS, ICS++ and many others so I'm asking, what would be the best ROM for gaming and speed?

Lol me too. Im in DarkForest now, but will try ICS++ later this day. Personally i don't have a problem with Darkforest as my problem is in ICS Beta itself that can see in every ICS based ROM, atleast someone said that to me.
But ICS++ looks promising as i really dig the AOSP look and everything.

But does Darkforest play HD games with Xperia controls as expected? Also, what is this *problem* you are talking about?

Wait for official ICS
All the current ICS roms have issues in one way or another and don't work as well as stock gingerbread.

If you want to play games, bug free, stick with GB for now

Most STABLE ICS rom?

Hello guys i have been trying a few ICS roms now but i still wondering how i can get the most stable ics experience.
The best ive got now is like 2 phone crashes a day. I am useing the Krabappel rom (KA)
Id like to have ics for the touchpad functinality in fpse.
Oh another question, is it possible to get the xperia play gamepad working with onlive on ice cream sandwich? It worked perfect on gingerbread.
Thanks for your time.

May I ask why you want ICS? Gingerbread is perfect, why upgrade to a buggy beta? Compatibility sucks on ICS.

If you care about your games, the best thing to do is stay on gb. The only stable ics roms are cm9 based with no touchpads working. Some games actually detect that you have an xperia play and show you the control schemes but the touchpads won't work.

He didn't ask about the compatibility, he asked for the most stable ics rom.
Besides, fpse will only work with ICS beta released by sony. Only ics beta has different touchpads implementation. But the beta is very slow, laggy and pissing off.

NXT v1.2 with DooMkernel. I honestly can't speak highly enough of it. If you choose it I suggest you flash the accompanying add-ons as well. Contains some kind of new Timescape layout that looks brilliant
First page of the dev section if you wanna look for it

FXP125 works much better than AokPlay for me

Aokplay is amazing, especially now with the touchpad fix. However some games don't work at all.

Try Darkforest ICS. I tried almost all of the ROMs in the past few days, and that worked the most smoothly. Anyway Gingerbread still works better, so now I'm on Gin2ICS 1.7.7. Sadly the touchpads doesn't work properly in Order and Chaos with any of the ICS ROMs.

Q: ICS or GB

What is a good custom rom for gaming is it ICS or GB?
Can you explain why you choose one of i given above?
Any gaming rom would be suggested?more appreciation and thank you

GB is the best for gaming
If you are a hard gamer i suggest a gaming rom
There is two gaming rom avalaible in the android development section
1- Simplified GB with SIII look
2- Stock Gaming XXLM8
If u want to have a nice look for a gb rom and play games i recommend the first one
If you just want to play game and the look doesn't matter with you
AND if you want overclock the phone, rom n.2 is recommeded
Press thanks if it helped.

ICS just because its faster and smoother.
I tried games on the GB ROMs but they always have some lag but when tested on CM9 it runs smoothly without the lag that was present in the GB ROMs.

I have tested CM9, but it was just the opposite from your comment
Most of the games didn't work
It maybe faster than a stock gb rom
But when it compared to an customized GB rom, GB is better

I tested all of the customized GB ROMs and the lag was there each time and it was alot more noticeable than when using CM9. I don't know what game you were trying to play but all the ones I tried works perfectly even the big ones like Chaos Rings.

For me, iam running my own rom.
it's also on the android development section
and i havn't faced any problems with it, but CM9 was buggy for me. it's interface is powerful. i know
but for GAMING, GB is still better.
BY THE WAY. I have tested Gangstar RIO on CM9 and GB
on CM9 it was very laggy, freezes alot even when Swapping RAM + Chainfire 3D
on GB it rarely lagges without Swapping RAM or even Chainfire 3D

Thats weird because I tested that new NFS most wanted and it runs perfectly on CM9 the only problem I had with it is its boring as hell and Asphalt makes a better racer than NFS.

Will Lag like Hell on CM9 even after Swap RAM + Chainfire 3D
while on GB it have very small lag without any swap of ram or even Chainfire 3D
also the reason i say GB is better than CM9 in gaming is the RAM Usage of the system
I on my Custom ROM, i can get only 140mb used by system, so i have nearly 210mb free ram
on CM9 i can't even get 150 free ram

Please read and then reply
I don't make any ROMs or any other things for Android since i'm mostly a designer but even I know the basics of this stuff and why I will continue to say that CM9 the pure CM9 not the ROMs based on it is better than any GB ROM that can be developed now but I would be happy to take that challenge to see the limits of the ROM.

Best ICS For gaming

Hi all, what is the best ice rom for gaming?tried marks rom very sluggish.gamer4/Mui Australia/express don't try..tried some jb slimbean very good but no auto brightness touchpads weird problem with headsets.so decided to try nxt2jb but no new adreno drivers not very good performance.so I think ics is the best choice what you think is the best?thanks
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

the best for gaming is gb.... ics is still slower .... if you want feature from ics or jb and the performance from gb use the next updated of turbo-kernel... you can boot the both or maybe the three of one

i know that,but still what is the best ICS?(there is some games that already works only on ICS like Shadowgun DeadZone) so its a metter of time and you will not play good new games on GB.

marphytons ics rom is the best for gaming.

[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.

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
