What is the best ICS Rom with working TouchScreen for games? I want to be able to play games like Modern Combat 3 with the TouchScreen responding throughout (if you get what I'm talking about when the controls gets locked and you can't do anything really).
A game like ShadowGun where the TouchScreen is completely bugged. I found a fix for the HTC Sensation and a rom which fixes the problem for the Xperia Play (DarkForest). I hope there is a rom like DarkForest or ICS++ for the Arc/S.
Please help me out here people
I had just saw N.O.V.A 3 trailer for iso and android, I would really wish to play that game on my xperia arc s if it's out, However... my arc s which is running "Stock ics with all the bloatware remove" could bearly even support modern combat 3 without heavy lags every few sec...
So share your gaming experience on any 2011 xperia phones, were you able to enjoy any game without any lags? stock rom or custom? etc etc...

hey, i have 8.2 and v22 aswell, but mc3 sometimes doesnt respond, i get those options force close and wait, do you have those problems?
Use stock kernel for gaming and you'll have no problems. Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCK0dvRbTHI i had this problem and the same as yours with mc3, on stock kernel everything is okay...
GTA 3
After upgrading my Xperia ARC to ICS 4.0.4 its impossible to play GTA 3. It freezes and its very laggy. On 2.3.4 it Worked great. Any ideas what's wrong ?
gaming sucks in ICS..thats why sony stopped working on ICS for xperia play..
ISO is great OS. I think iOS is better, isn't it?

Is the hardware acceleration in ICS helping or isn't it?

Well i have not played much memory intense games. But im crazy about temple run and its quite smooth in my ARC with JJ 3.1 custom rom/ Arc Night Kernel
Its causing problems with some games. Some run, others don´t.
i think GB will be a lot better than ICS for games i used ICS and had a lot force closes in games...like n.o.v.a. 3 and order & chaos and i had 160 ram free!! then i changed to stock GB first and i saw differences...a lot faster !! no force closes! after this i unlocked my bootloader and installed custom ROM arconium 8.2 and doomkernel...WOW! now my phone is great!!! i will give chance ICS but i will w8 when they will repair this rom beacuse now is not for me
sorry for my english;p
yes n.o.v.a 3, max payne, dead space, heavy gunner i play them and are good.... n.o.v.a 3 lags a little and have crashed 2-3 times. But u will check more problem when u connect it to hdmi and then play on lcd, etc.... even heavy gunner 3d crashes and force closes then. My phone's currently on 4.0.4 stock ics rooted .
My's has no error with nova 3, may lag at times but it's bearable unlike modern combat 3 which lag's is far worse... GTA 3 does lag too on ICS, reckless racing 2 crushes on some maps... But ICS should be a better software so issue like these will be solved but... =\
I know this is a very subjective question, but I would like some input on which ROM you guys think is best for the "oid" emulators on this device? I imagine it to be something based on Gingerbread, with as little bloat so perhaps AOSP or CM7? Or is the stock experience fine for this use?
Many thanks!

If you just use emulators you can also try an ics rom.
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
on ics (if you find a smooth ics rom, that is) emulators should work fine. also on ics n64oid has analog support (which on gingerbread only mupen64plus has), and it's overall better than mupen64plus on gingerbread in speed and it runs animal forest quite well; dunno for the rest though. on the psx front, fpse has analog support on ics, while on gingerbread only psxperia gives you analog support on psx games and of course there are not many analog controlled games supported by psxperia (soul reaver and mgs don't work, for example).
the other 100% digital controlled emulators should be exactly the same as on gingerbread. thing is, i tried what seems to be the best ics rom to date and it was quite laggy. maybe you'll find a good one for you, as you don't need good gamepad compatibility on android games.
either way, this device is the absolute best mobile emulating machine. even on gingerbread you don't really lose anything. there are just a handful of analog controlled psx games which are not supported by psxperia/mupen64plus, and they play perfectly with the dpad on fpse/n64oid.
therefore, your choice. if you really care about analog control on games you can't play as you wish on gingerbread, look for a smooth ics rom. if you don't care, i suggest trueancestor 2.3.7, as it gives you so much free memory.
Ok thanks ill check it out.

Hi,
I'm only play retro games in my xperia play too. That's the reason why I bought one... At this moment I'm using CM9 RC2, an ICS rom, and the emulators run well.... I'm playing zelda ocarina of time with the lastest n64oid version, touchpads works nice.... very similar as the joystick... Link can run and walk :victory: things you couldn't do with the D-pads.
The snes emulator that works in the ICS roms is, SNESDroid... the SNesoid didn't worked
Other emulators that worked:
GB color: GBCoid
GBA: GameBoid (you need a bios, tell me if you don't have one :highfive
NES: Nesoid
Hope this help you.
Cheers :good:
I suggest True Ancestor ROM too, always free RAM and bloatware removed. It offers great performance in N64oid compared with others ROM's, the mainly reason I use my Xperia Play

I got better performance using N64oid on a ICS ROM (AOKP to be more specfic) and the touchpads work great..
i.e. yoshi's story was skipping on True Ancestor, but ran flawless on AOKP.
EDIT:
The emu's I'm using (has worked for every game i have thrown at each of them)
FPSE - PSX -touchpads on ICS
GBA.emu - GBA
GBC.emu - GBC
MD.emu - MegaDrive
N64oid - N64 -touchpads on ICS
NES.emu - NES
Snes9x EX - SNES
All work with xplay controls on AOKP

Interesting, I quite like aokp too. Are there any features that don't work on ics roms on this device? Things like FM radio don't bother me, but for example data would be needed .

My experience on CM9 was that the OS was smoother than the stock Gingerbread but the emulator's performance was not as good. I could not have full speed with frameskip 0 on Snesoid or Gameboid and a clean sound at the same time. Plus the screen was all pixelized. Maybe AOKP performs better than CM9 ?
Now I'm on CM7, it is fast, there is plenty of free internal memory but I have those issues:
- bad battery life
- no proximity sensor
- some games don't work with the touchpads
I'm wondering if I should try TrueAncestor.
I think you should. There are always psxperia and mupen64plus for touchpads. At least they work with the majority of games that absolutely need touchpads
You can always install cupcake on your phone and get the "retro" games from the android market
Okey, I found out there are some games (most common gameloft games) that do not work on this phone, or they work but only with mods and some of them have lag issues.
I've made this thread so we can put the list on, and not be suprised when they try to download them from store, or they have weak performance.
So, can we get the list of the games that are incompatible with HOX or HOX+ ?
if you have some of these games then write them here
N.O.V.A. 3 - heavy lag
GTA 3 - laggy
Batman The Dark Knight Rises - laggy
Asphalt 7 - laggy
The Amazin Spiderman - bit laggy
Wild Blood - heavy lag
Mostly Gameloft games.
If somebody experienced same thing with different game, post it up.
GTA3 runs fine for me on CM10 with ncx's kernel and on my mate's HOX which is running ICS ARHD with stock kernel...
do you have rooted device? if you install a non-stock rom you won't have these lags! as i know, they're persistent only on the firsts ics roms

No, my phone is not rooted. I'm on JB though.
@Azurael
I know that, but on sense 4.1 is painful experience.. And I hate HTC for making only 8 apk to be multitasked.
Hello XDA :laugh:
I am looking for the best Jelly bean Rom for my r800i because i tried a lot of roms but all roms has lag for example in the game called modern combat 4
Thanks guys
Cm10 when cleaned from unneeded apps, as our phone cant afford too much addons to rom if u want to use it as gaming device with jb or slimbean as its best jb rom for play. On slim its possible to even play ravensword without to much lags
Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel
I'm using Racing Speed with Lupus JB v8 480 and works fine for games (i play NFSMW, dead trigger without lag)
Personally, I really like smokerman's LiGux ROM since it's a very good ROM for daily use and has got beautiful UI graphic. I haven't tried heavy gaming but I expect games like Dead Trigger to be fully playable. SlimBean is another good choice, especially if you want to personalize very much the ROM. Anyway I don't reccomend to play heavy games on JB/ICS, GB is still better, or, if you don't need camera, wifi and bluetooth it's worth to try the KitKat ROM, very very stable and fast and games run better than on GB.
