The question is in the title, what's the best ROM for gaming and customization options? I really like CM9, but it's not as smooth as stock-based ICS, and the touchpad support is in between.
So what I'm looking for is smooth gameplay/touchpads, good battery life, and it's theme-able (not really a big concern, I just like testing out alot of themes). Thank you in advance.
Hey buddy, I would either recommend xPlayStation by @frago21ps or my Ice Cream Speed, but if u can wait a bit I'm making a CM9 ROM, it has all features + Amazing Gaming, better than ICSpeed, why? ~ CM9 Drivers are Pretty Beast!

İcs: better UI looking
Better looking app swithcer
Chrome, good launchers
Gingerbread:smooth rom
Long battery life
Better gaming
Etc.

Look:
Gingerbread:
Smoother UI
Fluent
Easy to use
Better Gaming More RAM can Be Allocated to the Games.
ICS
Better UI
Fluent
Average Knowledge needed
Uses "MORE RAM" Just to run the android OS.
Gaming Will have Lag Because of the Play having Only 512MB RAM.
So why people choose Ics I cant understand.

ICS is still beta,when it will be finally released it will probably be better than Gingerbread.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Yep, I think ill stick to ginger till we have all full feature on

When it's officially released and Sony say say that they've fixed everything and will run smooth and won't be a memory hog on 512 mb ram phones then i'll definitely be upgrading to ICS

Because there are people who care to experiment, read instructions and give feedback instead of wasting their time and everyone else's asking which ROM is better.
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

My opinion as well !
JJ's rom is better imo
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
JJ's is a Hybrid mix with the feels of AOSP with the benefits of Sony Stock ROM (Bravia Engine, xLoud, etc...).
CM9 is a pure AOSP ROM with everything you'll get from it.
You'll decide which is best.
i'm using jj's now, and i like it! i think it has better battery life. but if you want features i think you should try cm9.
Well, I've tried a tons of ROMs of ICS and JB. A couple weeks ago I tested a GB one, and like it too much, cause there's an excellent battery drain and performance is just perfect, no lag, never. Including with games like Modern Warfare 4, Dead Trigger (with full textures and not overclocked with conservative governor in noop), etc.
The thing here is that GB doesn't support a couple of apps that are only available on ICS+, and I'm thinking onto changing my ROM.
What ROM you recommend? You know, overall speed, great gaming, and a great battery life.
Thanks.
Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097137. All roms are good depends on ur choice and preferences. So I think there is no recommendation from my side coz it depends on you what to chose. And its absolutely common sense that u have to sacrifice battery life if u want performance. And please dont make threads for such topics. As its against xda rules.

Xperia Pureness / Ice Cream Pureness (with installed service pack 1) ROM together with KTG Anzu kernel gives you both battery and performance. And also the best custom UI ever on the Arc / Arc S!

That.
+ There is no ICS ROM, that would have performance and battery usage of GB. It just isn't possible.

Do you have the cdma version or gsm. If you have gsm Id recommend aurora play or gin2jellybean. They are both gb and have everything working. (Ginger bread is the only version with everything working). If you have cdma then stock would be the best and just theme it using one of attacks themes. There are plenty ics and jb roms but games don't run smooth on them so id recommend you to stay on gb.

yes im perfectly sure, i have customized this rom used it as a based applied, tweaked build prob, custom libs, and many more so far im getting 6000 on every test i run. and of course the battery life last me a long time, long enough to have a pokemon leveled up to 99 ahahahaha
still confused i dont know which ics rom has everything working dont wanna keep flashing i like games and at the same time need good battery life
I havnt tried atomic gb but i think its one of the best roms
Dixperia 2 is a little bit laggy and only the theme is customized. Its not good for gaming
gin2jellyabean is the best rom
