I want to ask, if you could not make a rom (GB) that does not include any feature of cell .. I mean ... applications that do not bring:
messages
calls,
Internet browsers,
Make it Super debloated ..
optimized only for games ..
In itself, that will leave only the extra essential, such as: Google Play, 3G Connectivity, & Image Gallery ..
And so combine this rom kernel to the future cast end by (DiKeJ) and get maximum performance and give our device as a console exclusive use .. (as there are many users - (like me) who have two phones .. in my case a Samsung Galaxy S3, which I use as a phone .. and also a Xperia Play .. which that as console) and I would not mind neglecting these features to increase performance and autonomy of the battery ..
Thanks in advance to all ..

Just search it and it will come up. It is a little old but that doesn't matter as it works great and fits what your looking for. If you want s newer Rom all kg then have phone service as that's what makes the play better then something like a psp it's a phone and gaming device in one so you only carry one device.

As abdel said, nxt gamer 1.2 is a very good choise
Or if you want an updated rom try xElite gamer by PizzaDox, as he's a master when it comes to performance
And lol I'm no developer calling me "developer" would be an insult for those who really develop something (wedgess, CosmiDan, PizzaDox and so many others)
I just mod and improve what I can, so you could call me a "beginner modder"
I would love to work with some other Devs to produce this kinda rom, but tbh I think we should wait till my own xElite Gamer becomes more mature and also wait for DX Perennial,
Removing SemcPhone.apk/Phone functionality will remove 3G connectivity.
At the very least, that will need to remain in the ROM.
Either that, or I misunderstood what your post asked.
Do you want phone capabilities to remain in the ROM, such as MMS, Calls, Texts, 3G... Or do you want them removing? Minus the 3G?
If so - Why would you need the Image browser? Especially if you intend to use a Kernel that has no camera capabilities in order to free as much RAM as possible.
Let me know what you want exactly and I can cut down AuroraPlayLE to whatever level you want... However, like others have said - There are ROMs available already that offer these things to some extent.

Thanks for your attention @ Spizzy_01!! : D
What I would like to, is a console-style rom thought!
No phone functionality ..
I mean .. taking away all phone functions that consume ram, battery & performance .. and leave just enough to play .. (Android Games & Emulator) (and most optimized possible)
With so rom and kernel to the future end (DiKeJ) and GPU overclock patch (2D & 3D Core) We can reach a maximum in our Xplay rendmiento! (It's what I think)
This would be a rom designed for extreme gamers .. and which have 2 devices .. one to play .. and another to communicate and others ..
yekasangredevago, firstly, thanks for mention me - it's good to be respected and I really appreciate that . About some hardcore gaming ROM.....Well....Hell yeah it's coming in my projects, my suggestions is just follow my DiXperia Projects thread in General section of Xperia Play, and follow DX3 dev/discussion thread to see some screenshots etc. of new projects - I hope you've heard about DiXperia Perennial, which is coming soon, and will be ROM for magnificent gaming, just like making device as a console ;]. Unfortunately, this projects needs Premium Account to get it, and more info about this you can find on my DiXperia World website, or just by searching it in my threads over whole XDA. I know it could be like a corruption, but the same situation happening for a long time on X10 section, when tons of ROMs are relasing time by time for all users, and some "special" with higher priority for some use are relased for Premium Users. Searching is your friend, I'm sure you'll find it, if not - contact me .
Cheers, and thanks once again!

I've searched, trawled and read through so many threads and cannot make my mind up which way to turn (I'm so indecisive). There is so much choice (which is a good thing in some ways and not so good in others) but it's confused the hell out of me. I could flash various ROM's and kernels all the while having to restore my data each time and run it for a while to see if it is suitable for my needs. This seems to the moderators general consensus for those asking what the 'best ROM' is (Understandable). But this (having to flash ROM's and kernels each time) is tedious and there is always some element of risk that you could end up with a bad flash the more you do this.
So here I am asking. Please note I am *NOT* asking which the best overall ROM is. I understand perfectly well that there is no best ROM and each ROM has different functionality and features that are suited to different peoples needs. I am asking which ROM suits *MY* needs. If moderators decide that I am asking what is the best ROM then I guess I will have to try harder to argue my case.
I don't mind if it's GB, ICS or JB - obviously I would *LOVE* to have a JB ROM but it's still in its infancy and has certain issues simply because there is and never will be an official JB ROM for my phone (Thanks Sony!).
My current setup is a 2011 Arc S currently running JJ Hybrid 3.1 (still) and ArcKnight kernel (forget which build).
I am not overly interested in fancy GUI's, themes, extra functionality or overclocking, although it would nice to have them 'just so long as they don't impact on performance and stability'.
Things I want.
#Rooted with CWM is a given obviously
#As lag free as possible (It takes several seconds to launch Contacts at present and laggy key presses in the phone dialer annoy)
#Good battery performance
#Increased memory
#Bloatware removed
#Removal of or fixed/tweaked default apps (For some reason the default browser sucks CPU/battery dry and I have disabled it on current ROM).
#Smooth 720p video (is this even possible either in the FW or through a mod?)
#Good camera performance (Use a mod?)
#Status bar with quick toggles and notifications
#Good WIFI, 2G,3G/HSDPA performance (especially if 3G is tweaked as I get poor signal in some places)
#Bravia engine (1 or 2?)
#Correctly functioning hardware including LED's/Side LED/Buttons/Sensors (brightness, rotation etc)
#STABILITY (as little bugs as possible basically)
#Easy upgrade path between builds (not having to wipe data each time although I realize this is sometimes required)
#WIFI tethering
I don't care much for HDMI output but if it works it's a bonus. Things like USB OTG and USB mass storage would also be useful but not essential.
I think that's all of it. If moderators still feel this is a 'best ROM' thread feel free to contact me privately to cast your warnings. Hopefully though they will see this is a bit more specific than that and actually asks more pertinent questions rather than a blanket 'which ROM is best' question.
Thanks for reading
I can't comment on a rom, but for camera, most definitely Cybershot mod . Pictures look amazing

Thanks. I will look into it. Seems it's only for ICS ROM's but if there is an ICS ROM that meets the above criteria I will check it out.
For me, right no, Atomic Gb 3.0 Xtreme Silencer is going to update it to 3.1 now, so u can flash it. It is the most complete ROM now for me, with almost everything u said in ur list
Download it here
Hi.
While this may not be a best ROM thread as you say, its just as equally annoying. You've listed what most of us want from a ROM, and as you say you've read this that and the other then its time to pick one and flash it. If you think the process of flashing custom ROMs is tedious then learn how to mod, tweak a stock ROM to your own liking then you won't need to rely on others to tell you what to flash.

Did u read that? Flash and test yourself
We can't say, what fits you, we don't know your life. You know it the best, you should find the perfect one.
XDA is not a place, where people are slaves, stop being lazy and do something yourself aswell.
Look at ROM's overviews, features, functions, read comments (if you want to know more about the ROM) etc.
Try them, put them to the test in regular usage. Then you find one. We can't say, which one is good for you.
yeah he is right!
Atomic Gb is awesome !
xtremesilencer has done some great work to make it!
ohhh wait a min!
i am xtremesilencer that was a joke
and if you want to know about a rom then go to the thread or check the feedback
dont open new new threads !!!!!
I'm on ICS because of the mobile data manager (built in, doesn't work on gb) as i have a limited data plan.
I'm right now on the xperia t rom, it is really great, the battery lasts up to two days. (3-4 hours display on, around 10h mobile data and wifi is always on).
Using the stock 587 kernel. Never had such an amazing battery life

Whilst I understand the sentiment of 'try them for yourself' and 'you are just being lazy' and 'read the comments' etc. It takes *TIME* I don't need overclocking. I don't need all the fancy themes. I don't need a ton of tweaks other than those that meet the basic requirements I have listed.
As I said whilst there is a healthy development community on this particular device, it is hard work to find the right ROM. I have to go through the list of ROMS, kernels and mods in the thread stickied in 'General' (I noticed at least one ROM is missing from that list btw). On the whole it does not tell me a lot other than name, ROM, base (GB, ICS, JB) and then you have to spend a lot of time trying to find out all the info about the ROM by going to the ROM's thread, read about it's features, how to install it, which kernels work best with it, how to fix, patch or workaround any problems found (usually buried deeper into the thread with sometimes 'hundreds' of replies so you might not know about the patches and workarounds until you actually install it and when you ask in the thread someone says it was mentioned earlier in the thread which you now have to search through) etc etc ad nauseam.
I'm just looking for a shortlist of ROM's to try based on others opinions that meet my criteria.
I do also believe that there should be a sticky that instead of ostracizing members for asking 'which is the best ROM' as there currently is (which I know can be annoying for the moderators) instead should offer opinions and experiences. Which ROM's offer which features and how well they perform and yes, perhaps even a poll.
This would be the 'go to' thread for all those people (including myself) who are stuck for choice.
But perhaps this is too much work (I guess you could say to me I should do it then and keep it updated since I am so interested in it)...
The forum is chaotic as it is. But this is the nature of forums.

Unfortunately, that's what most people would have to go through to actually find a rom that they would stick with. Luckily I tried 1 and never moved away because it was suffice. Here's a list to shorten the task, tremendously for you
Ultimate HD
Beautiful ICS
Jelly Sandwich - I've been using this one for months without changing. I'd recommend version 7.4 as it's stable and anything version 8 and above are a hassle to install and have ugly icons =/
Atomic GB - The only gingerbread based rom listed as opposed to ics so bear in mind the cybershot wouldn't work
I can't really comment on any of these roms' 'personal sufficiency' other than jelly sandwich, but these are the ones I would test if I were you good luck
well XDA is a dev site where devs share their creations for each other, they're not obliged to put them up here and frankly it takes a billion times more work to make a rom than to look through the ROM threads
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
Xperia T ROM is the way to go!
I too was in the same state 3-4 months back and all I wanted was a stable & smooth ROM (better than stock, of course). So, I went thro most of the threads and based on the feedback of many, I narrowed down on Ultimate HD. Sure its a better ROM and I was happy using it for close to 2 months. But after prolonged usage, it started to lag. Only then, I started experimenting with multiple ROMs.
There are ROM u would start hating it immediately after installing it and there are which will make u to stick with it for a while. After testing bunch of ROMs, I finally landed on Xperia T ROM. Its not the most talked about ROM around, but definitely has its own fan following and Im definitely going to be one among them. It has all the MODs that I wanted (toggles, latest apps, cybershot, small apps etc...) and yet it offered smoothness and free RAM of close to 100 MB. Most importantly, it offered loads of options while installing (in Aroma Installer). So, you can pick and choose whatever u want. It is one of the few ROMs wherein Sound Enhancements in Walkman player and Online mode in Album works out of the box without any tweaking!
So, I suggest you to give it a shot. Im sure u wont regret it
Hmm. Just read that T ROM has broken wifi tethering. Also read that AOSP ROM's don't have in call mute? It's quite a bit involved installing that ROM by the look of things too. I will monitor the thread for a while though and ask about the in call mute feature.
Sometimes, it's not about the ROM, it's the mods you flash on the ROM. I have been using stock ROM for quite some time and I have flashed a few mods to tweak and improve the stock ROM. You can go to the Themes and Apps section to find these kind of mods.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
AW: [Q] Which ROM offers the following?
Use the stock rom and flash mods you want..
Your mixing everyrthing up, battery and performance, perfect stability and design....
Which rom is better, I mean in terms of expenditure of battery, ram, better performance, better default applications, optional extras .. What you choose? :good:

I refer to their own experiences, as some may have better perspective on every rom, I feel that I auroraplay eats battery very fast, not if it is a hallucination, use atomic gb a while but had several bugs, such as the now I upgrade to R2, when I want to download games from the play store, tells me that "your android device is not compatible with the game", and was trying to download Candy Crush xD, and trigger dead too, do not try with nova 3, but I guess the same thing would happen. So back to auroraplay and decided to ask the experts in the field.
OP only you can be the expert for your own device...since you have different apps/usage so on, this is why you make the call on what will work for you, by testing. Thanks.
I'll try to make a long story short. The contract on my Verizon Xperia Play R800x expires in a few days, BUT, I want to continue to use it for strictly gaming purposes. So, now that I'm no longer using any of Verizon's services, what is the best possible set up to achieve on my R800x Xperia Play?
Lay it on me!
1.) Best rom for gaming-----(Lots of free internal memory, RAM, and good,useful gaming features/tweaks/mods)
2.) Best kernel for gaming-----(I do not want to overclock, just need a good kernel primarily for running games)
3.) Patches-----(Is there a specific patch I need to flash to get a GSM rom working on my CDMA, if so, let me know)
4.) Additional tweaks & mods-----(Apps,.ZIPs, scripts, things that can improve the overall gaming quality, performance, stability, smoothness, image clarity, sound quality/volume etc.)
As you can see in my signature, I own 2 Xperia Plays, but have been out of the Xperia Play scene for almost a year now...
I would really appreciate is someone could help me out, my R800X must live on! I know someone here has the perfect setup, share it with me!

I flashed this rom, True Ancestor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595058
Home screen works as does everything accept no signal. OR you can always keep the stock rom of VZ but remove all bloat and the phonebook.apk, semcphone.apk
A lot of ROMs come with additional tweaks already included

Hi Folks,
I was using HTC explorer Earlier and thanks to XDA Member I had several roms that I could choose from.
Well Now i am using xperia Ion HSPA version Lt28h to be very precise, my question to all of you using Xperia Ion is: Which Rom is the best so far (I am not asking this to compare anybodies work neither to show some roms down) I am asking this opinion so that I would not need to keep on flashing different roms as I have on my explorer.
Certain things about my usage and also about the understanding after going through the development section:
I use my phone for camera mainly and then gaming also to listen songs. My problem: my phone heats up almost to 49 degree Celsius while playing games even like candy crush.
Also my battery back up is very low+ the performance has gone down in terms of processing speed in the album app.
Please assist / Help me by giving your comments on which rom is the best (where the phone wouldn't heat, would have good atleast decent battery backup and has honami or cybershot camera app)
Btw, I had heard that Nature Rom is the best so far wout any bugs and has a theme engine + honami camera too :laugh: please tell me the reviews on that rom as well :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a ton for patiently reading through my pain area's and problems :highfive: looking forward to responses from Ion users
My daughter (13) being a playstation fan....saw the "playstation phone" somewhere and had a fit for it. I had to look up what she was talking about and strangely....I had never seen or heard of the Xperia Play. I found an unopened brand new Verizon (r800x) and bought it for her. Her birthday is next month and I am wanting to get this thing set up for her. I didnt realize that Sony had stopped support for this phone...so I cant even update from the stock android version This will be her first phone, and I think she will absolutely love it....but I need some help getting it updated please.
I have the phone set up and activated on Page Plus. I have read and read and read on the different roms and kernels etc. and TBH...it is all greek to me lol. I have never rooted a phone...used a custom rom or kernel etc. So I am hoping that some of you awesome peeps could help me out a little and help put a huge smile on my little girls face .
I noticed that several roms overclock the processor and up the screen res to 720p. That would be awesome to have since she will game the crap out of it lol. Of course I want all of the functions of the slide out controller to work...like the touch sensors etc. and also the wifi, camera etc. because well...shes a teenager. I also have Themer on my S3 and she LOVES messing with it and I am not sure if its possible for it to work on the Play even with a custom rom etc.
If any kind soul would mind telling me which rom etc would be the best to use for this, and also help me with getting it all installed and set up etc. I would GREATLY appreciate it!! Thanks so much!
HBD to your daughter
Hi, it's amazing, our loved xplay will never die .
First of all, if you have your bootloader unlocked then you are ready to choose (see point #2) then flash a rom (see point #3), if not then give a look to THIS for web unlocking for R800x (may work) or THIS it should work for R800x too but roms must be for R800x, you can search on each rom post to see if that rom are compatible.
Lets think about gaming and stuff, if you think your daughter will use it to play heavy games instead social stuff and multitask is not a problem then GingerBread is the best option, if you think she will be a casual gamer and will want multitask and other cool "new" stuff then ICS, Jellybean is not an option since you said that you want touchpads and jellybean has no functional touchpads.
In both GB and ICS you will able to record on 720p and Overclock your device and i recommend to O.C up to 1.6GHz with a Lupus Kernel.
Now, i have tested a several roms and kernels and i'll list those which i think are the best.
GINGER BREAD
Gin2KitKat very good UI, good for gaming and social
AuroraPlay simple UI, very good for gaming (the best i think)
ICE CREAM SANDWICH
GAMING HYBRID simple UI, light and good for gaming
ICS Original original Sony Ericsson UI, good for gaming and social
Xperia Play ZXperia Z UI(the best i think), very good for gaming and social
As i said before, you must see if the rom is compatible for R800x since almost all of them are for R800i.
As a matter in fact i'm using Xperia Play Z with DoomKernel at 1.6GHz and i think its the best of the best :laugh:
Hope i was helpful, i'm sorry for my bad english. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks SO much for your help She will game of course but I think the ICS would suit her better. After writing this...i read some more....and some more lol....anyway I found the sony unlocking website...and unfortunately I dont have the "bootloader status" option so it says I cant unlock it
I would love to set it up exactly like yours is, since it seems you really like it . Is there a workaround for the bootloader problem?
Thanks again for your help!
Well...I got the bootloader unlocked
I wanted to use the Xperia Play Z rom that you mentioned...but it doesnt seem to be a r800x rom Can anybody recommend a ICS rom and kernel for the r800x please?
Try Hybrid
GAMING HYBRID has a CDMA (r800x) version :highfive:.
Actually you can flash any R800i ICS ROM but you will not have network but wifi, just to try maybe .
May you should pm Markphyton to know if the Xperia Play Z rom will be ported ro r800x in near future, meanwhile try Hybrid Gaming its UI is not as ugly as you may think, is stable and light, give it a chance.

if r800x is not the only option that would work in you area.. then you really made a mistake by buying the x version.,. should have bought the r800i.

I am setting up an Xperia Play for my daughter as well, and two more for my sons, only we have the CDMA version. So far I have tried CyanogenMod 9.1 and Xperia Play Z. In both of them, the controller functionality is just junk in Minecraft. Both Softsticks operate the same functions as the D-Pad on the left, leaving no good way to get around without constantly touching the screen. Additionally, on both ROMs, the only way I could get the option to play worlds locally was to copy them over from other devices, only then did the New and Edit buttons show up, and they still go missing most of the time.
So my question: Would anyone like to give an example of a specific custom ROM which gives them good controller performance in Minecraft? I would prefer Android 4.0 or better so I could recover from the kids changing the PIN(also, using PINs) to something they don't remember, and using phone location from within the Play store, otherwise I might have stuck with Stock in the first place.
Update: After trying Gaming Hybrid, I am mystified as to how it made the recommended list at all, and... I'll stop right there because that's the most positive thing I have to say about it. ICS Original gave me no controller love in Minecraft either, but even though it tried to set default language to Chinese it was at least stable during its four-minute eval.
