[Q] What is better? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I hawe rooted my Play and want to install a custom NXT ROM. My question is : Is it better to go for the Light or regular version?
I'm using my phone mostly for gaming.
Thanks

I would recommend you try gin2jellybean it is super fast and stable and I got a geekbench score faster than a iphone 4s but regular version on nxt is better

Benchmarks dont percieve true scores, try gin2jb and play the first 2 lvls of mc4 and monitor lag, then try a rom without adrenobooster and monitor lag,

Hey there,
I should give Xelite gamer a try
That ROM is absolutely great for gaming!
But maybe you should wait for the 1.3 update, cause that fixes and improves a lot of stuff!
Als thank you @Pizza_Dox for that ROM, its amazing
Btw, Sorry for my english

How do I install it with locked bootloader. I can't find the instructions.

Dowbload cwm auto installer from internet and when it is installed enter recovery then press wipe system then press install zip from sd card and select the zip file you downloaded and when it is done press reboot system now and if you get a mesaage about recovery press yes

I am glad you are happy about making a ROM....its exciting!
but one thing:
Setcpu is not an app that is allowed to be pre-installed in a rom.
Its is an app that needs to be purchased by each user on there own....
Please remove it.

Kernel? Thats a bit Strange?
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
Nice rom... undoubtedly FASTEST I hv evr used.
I jst want u to add Titanium backup app + Rom control options (as we have in JJ Hybrid).
Also, does this rom support USB-OTG ??
Normally the usb hotsting function is determined by the kernel you use. The rom can simply have an integrated sys app that allows usb mounting and browsing, though even if not there are many free apps on the market that can do this easily. Doomkernel has the usb otg fucntions and so do some others though still with minor lacks of support like ntfs file systems ect.
by the way jader, what kernel do you reccomend fot usb hosting with ntf support for both usb and sd, also with swap or zram and other common tweaks?
i stuck on Sony Logo i follow the instruction....
3 time i try to install the rom... and it dont work.
any help ;(?

same happened to me on my xperia arc. But later I found a SOLUTION in original thread, which worked for me.
1. Open the zip file in your pc
2. Go to System --apps
3. Delete some apps to free memory (I deleted 3D-Camera)
4. Now transfer this edited rom zip file to your sd card and flash in recovery
I hope it ll work ( dnt delete any file about which you are not sure)

Did you install the latest firmware and given advanced stock kernel by jader? btw how did u manage to install cmw recovery with a locked BL?
I'm running .587 firmware with jaders advanced stock kernel and everything works fine though i have an unlocked bootloader so everything is easier.
I guess u just have to flash another working rom.....just my opinion

ICS stock

Is there any way to get ICS stock on r800x? I saw a lot of stock based ROMs but they were all only gsm. I don't care if service works just want a booting ROM. I know r800x didn't get ICS beta but are there any that work or have been ported. Thanks

rom: cm9 official

You can already install ics. You just need to flash Doom's ics beta kernel then flash rom via CWM. The install process is the same as installing any custom roms into your device. You wont get phone service btw.

Try using whatever kernel you want, what is very important is that flash the correct FTF. Try using an R800x FTF and flash any kernel and ROM. Also you can try using a CDMA Neo L ICS Firmware (If there's any) and flashing it without the kernel, just flash an ICS Xperia Play kernel...
sadly there is no cdma version of neo l i think because i couldnt find one. Thanks anyway. (already used my 8 for today but ill thank you tomorrow. its free so why not )

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

i have just purchased an xperia play r800x from my local retail, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, not verizon, my phone is stuck on 2.3.3, and i really want to update to ICS but im really not sure what to do, i paid the $15 fee to get my bootloader unlocked from alejandrissimo, nice guy i might add, and im really needing some guidance on were to go now, any help would be awesome, and im sorry to jump this thread but i really didnt think the forums wanted 3 or 4 post of noob questions like mine, i dont want to mess my phone up and i dont have insurance on it, thanks in advance
First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.
