Hashcode seems to have done a lot of the work for us all and has produced the Kernel that all the roms use. I have tried the CM10.1, CM10.2 and the PAC rom and although none are perfect, they are all usable as a daily ROM. I would say that the PAC rom seems the fastest to me, but as soon as you have TWRP installed it doesn't take long to install all of them at try them out. I have backups of all the 3 above so I can switch if I want.
On any of them it is worth installing "Ultimate Rotation Control" to force the orientation to what you prefer. Otherwise the rotation seems to break for some apps.
Good Luck.

what i did was download android 1.5, then downloaded super hero build and replaced files in android. then replaced again with the jackshero ski1.6. this method should give you all the files you need and also be the most stable. for me anyway. you will want to extract the resources.zip. it will make a media directory on the root of storage. then put everything else on the root of storage outside of media folder. then simply run heret.exe.

Edit your default.txt
If you want a different LCD density, add an option lcd.density=xxx after the ppp options. 160 is default, 128 was the old "hiRes". Google Maps only works at 160.
If you don't want it to connect to data, add an option ppp.nostart=1.
I dont know if everyone has this issue or only myself....
My screen seems blurry, especially on linux boot, I attempted the lcd density adjusment as per above but can not seem to get it as clear as it used to be when massey started the project.

I know these threads of newbies can be annoying, since it's been posted a million times, but please hear me out.
First I just tried to root my device but I don't think it worked, since I checked with root checker and it says my device isn't rooted. I used this method:
Download
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v2.0](zergRush Exploit)
You made need:
Xperia Play [Neo Arc] AcroIS11 Acro S0-02C USB Drivers
Before You Begin
(1) Make sure you have installed ADB drivers for your device.
(2) Enable "USB DEBUGGING" from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development).
(3) Enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from (Menu\Settings\Applications).
(4) [OPTIONAL] Increase screen timeout to 10 minutes.
(5) Connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC.
Instructions
(1) Download the attached file, extract it using Winzip.
(2) Proceed to the folder where you extracted the contents then execute "RUNME.bat"
(3) MAKE SURE to read and follow the instructions on the screen! That's it!

And for the Custom Rom... I have been reading a lot on this forum, but I'm still a bit confused so please bare with me.
First - I've read that the ICS and JB don't really do justice when it comes to the gaming, and that Gingerbread is the best software for when it comes for the full xperia play experience?
Second - I would like a Gingerbread custom rom that's very very stable and smooth. My Wifi connection is a bit unstable so I'm hoping that a custom rom might fix that.
Third - Can someone provide me with a download link for the best Gingerbread custom rom, and the easiest method to put the rom on my device?
I also find that some games like Grand theft auto and Fifa are really laggy at times and after gameplay my phone really slows down, doesn't matter how many times I use the task manager to kill all the application. I've already updated to the latest official software of at&t but I'm not really satisfied.

KitKat for Arc S ?

That was just a discussion thread... and now some people think that just because it can run on 512MB RAM they can install it on their phones straight away... If kitkat ever comes to the Arc/S it will take a while for it to become stable enough for daily use. Also, the drivers we use are old since there have been no updates. If you guys want kitkat running successfully on this device, these old drivers need to be integrated with the new software, which is very tedious. Mike is already going to drown under 4.2 and 4.3, adding another OS to the pile will place him under more stress.
Don't assume the work we developers do is simple, just because an update came out that meets the system specifications means it can run just by downloading and installing it in recovery. If you ever tried to create a ROM by yourself, you'll find out that a lot of work needs to be done, along with many user complains and flooding your development thread with useless posts. That's how messed up the user community is nowadays. Jader's UHD ROM thread is one example of how users interact with the developer.

Im sorry, but which part of perhaps its a "definitely yes"?
I just point to that thread so he and anybody with the same question can see that it really going to depends on how google code it and how hard could be for the developers to bring that code to our devices...
I never declared that it will be a fact, but you have to admit that the 512 MB its a nice hope.

Yes, it is hopeful but not promising, see Mike's reply at the thread itself

Yes, it's possible to port Android 4.4 for our device but it all really depends on if there will be any developer / developers who want to spend their time porting 4.4 for our device. Mike have started working on it for our devices, but we will see when or if he releases it or not.
I might see if I'm able to sync the sources, but the main problem on my end is that my PC is really bad and not suited for development.

The fact that it can run, does not mean that it will run.

but kitkat based in my option is bet AORP kitkat rom try it
Just as a suggestion, I'm currently using VanirAOSP and it's pretty good. All I've to say is that right now one should get the vanir_anzu_4.4.2.012814 version, as the latest, vanir_anzu_4.4.2.022314, has a few additional bugs. On the mentioned good version WiFi works, everything is fairly smooth and you're left with enough space to actually install the apps you want, which seems to be an issue on many roms due to Arc's small internal memory.. Only real problem's the default browser lagging terribly, but I hear that's a general issue? Anyway, for anyone interested in kitkat on Arc it's definitely worth checking out.

Tried it. Really cool ROM, some minor bugs but its OK
KitKat 4.4.2 AOKP and ART-runtime enabled
It is very well possible to use KitKat 4.4.2 on our phones. Even with ART-runtime enabled. I personally use AOKP (Android Open Kang Project)'s KitKat version, and I managed to get ART-runtime enabled and running very fast and smooth.
You can find the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624761
Of course you have to first install the kernel, which is given in the zip-file. Just unzip the kernel and Flashboot it to your device. Then go into CWM-recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and activate USB-mount. Locate the full AOKP-zip and place it on your SD-Card, as wel as the minimal Gapps for 4.4.2., found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857. Unmount the USB, and install the zip as usual through the menu for it. Then, after installing AOKP, install the minimal Gapps.
Reboot and let your device sit for a while, or play around with it a bit....
I proceeded with installing Mounts2SD from playstore, while before having prepared my class10 8 Gb sdcard into two partitions. One partition FAT32, size about 6Gb and one partition EXT2 size around 2 Gb. Move everything to SD-card through the menu of Mounts2sd, except Dalvik-cache. NEVER MOVE THIS!!! (Don't move dalvik-cache to SD...)
Reboot at least two times to let the script (Mounts2sd) settle in... After this I installed Pimp-my-Rom from playstore and activated the nav-bar and some other scripts to improve the experience. Also I odexed (after finishing all my modifications) the phone through this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527732
I then went to CWM-recovery through a reboot and made a full backup, which I advice you to do also, in case something goes horribly wrong.
Reboot to AOKP. As you can see, this ROM is awesome-fast beyond belief already. I had benchmarks in AnTuTu of around 6000, with NoFrills-CPU at 1401 Mhz. But, it can be faster if you choose to run ART-runtime instead of Dalvik. Be sure to remove all unwanted programs before switching to ART-runtime, because it'll take a lot of space in cache, and every program you don't need (system-programs that is) will reserve more space for ART.
Only and ONLY if your system is running smoothly on Dalvik, I advise you to go to your Phone-settings, (under Settings of course) and tap on 'Build-number' like 10 times. You will now become a developer. An extra menu will appear under Settings, where you can choose to run the ART-runtime library. Choose this and you will reboot.
Wait, wait and wait a long time for reboot. After initial booting everything has to be updated to ART-compiled apps. This will take a long time per app. Just wait and don't disturb your phone. If you get to the phone after booting, then you probably succeeded... You can check under the same settings-tab under Developer-options. If ART is selected, then you have it.
I strongly advice in case of mishaps regarding loss of network etc. to just reboot. Wait, wait and eventually you'll get there. Make a backup as soon as you have a stable working system under CWM-recovery.
I have been running stable ART under this AOKP-rom for about two weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Not only is the phone lightning-fast (6417 under AnTuTu, with CPU on my Arc LT15i on 1401 Mhz), but smooth as hell! Batterytime is amazing. This is as fast as it's gonna get! (I must have tried almost every ROM out there from stock 4.0.1 to 4.4.2...)
Hope you'll try and may it work for you too...!
(BTW my ultimate thanks to the guys from Open Kang Project!)
P.S. stock-browser is lagging... as usual under 4.4, but I use Dolphin and it is fast! Some toggles require reboot to function again. Some programs might fail you due to not being ready for ART. Facebook is a mess for instance, sometimes quitting unresponsice etc. Otherwise I have encountered no problems whatsoever.
Tried ION kernel and stuff and I can say that apart of one or two really minor bug the KK experience is just awesome and will be better within some months i suggest you to follow all the "Xperia Overlay" thing a I hope it gonna be amazing:laugh:

I know that such threads aren't welcomed, but friend of mine just brought me stock 2.3.6 Galaxy W whining that it's so slow.

Thats just what i would say about my phone, too Stable, fast, ui that doesn't hurt my eyes badly (That's really important to me!), not noticed any f/c or (random) reboots yet, temperature is good during use. Of course mobile network works. I feel happy using it
To be fair i have to add that DarkCM 03/19 was first release without issues noticeable for me. All other versions had AT LEAST one bug: ProCapture camera didn't work as it should. May be i find issues while using it. we'll see
I used OneOfAKind Rom now, pretty stable but some apps are just slow and eat a lot of ram. I blamed the apps, not the ROM. You should try it.
I know Stock is great but I upgraded mine because some apps doesn't work on Gingerbread.

GB is old n past just like XP (eol), which to me is the best OS. :angel:
use at ur own risk.
requirements:
basic knowledge
rooted phone
init.d support
(if unsure wat to do, search n u will get ur answers).
i only use these two on stock rom, no other enhancements or tweaks.
attached r two files zipped:
1) build.prop.GB.Addon - copy all texts n paste to end of line build.prop, if u have duplicate, just remove the sentences.
(mount read/write b4 edit if u cant edit).
2) VMscript140309 file is a script, u can use script manager if u want but i preferred to copy n paste to etc/init.d.
remember must set permission, chmod rwx,r_x,r_x n chown root,shell, else it wont work.
(mount read/write b4 paste if u cant paste).
edit 03/april:
deleted these lines from build.prop.addon file, becoz GB orig apps - music, gallery n video will not update with new add music, videos n pics.
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=true
media.stagefright.enable-record=true
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
original lines in GB build.prop has two portions:
top portion is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
further down is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=false
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i'm using this bottom portion, becoz the last entries will be log-in, replacing the first entries.
another concern is the read ahead for the rams/cards, it seem to speed up but when i tried use clockworkmod backup, the md5 is mismatched. backup is useless, if u have this problem, remove those read ahead sentences.

Thank you! I'll try as soon as possible. Also, could you tell me about game performance?

most games with installation files below 100mb runs good, board games will just fly thru.
those power n ram hungry games, i dun recommend play games with installation file above 100mb (hw limitations).
candy crush sage is quite power n ram hungry even its installation file is below 100mb, it runs without problem.
edit:
i played magic mania for more than an hour on GB, generated less heat than when i played candy crush saga on KitKat for less than 10 mins. :silly:
I'm looking at flashing my W too. It has GB still, but I modded it by CWM recovery, root and debrand plus stripped out un-needed bloat. What I want to do with it is flash it to possibly JB and run VIPERaudioFX and either Poweramp or Neutron audio player and mostly keep it as a smart music player for my car. I run a modded quad core phone as my main device now because it is a great multitasker and has a big screen for my failing eyes. The W is a nice, small size for a music front end though. So pocketable or fits nice in the centre console. I still have a thing about that phone despite it being old now. So, a modern and light OS is needed. Must be stable but it's not going to be a main phone. What are the recommendations?
If it's not practical, I will keep GB on it and see if I can slim it down further and if I can get a version of Viper that will work with it.
in general, i recommend stick with GB becoz its less buggy than the new android OS (ics/jb/kk).
if the app(s) cant run on GB, its becoz the app(s) need more RAM (hw limitations).
new OS have swap n zRAM which makes it laggy (in one way or the other).
I found it laggy on GB anyway. Removing Touchwiz and various Sammy apps after installing Legacy Launcher improved things. Also Smart Launcher2 Pro is nice. I'm actually running that one on my W200.
I was thinking getting rid of the Samsung account and extra software plus Keis etc would help things. strip out as much as possible without breaking it, do CWM backups before any major change, just in case.
I do know what you mean by the RAM, despite newer ROMs running well, they do need a lot of RAM. Minimal widgets, only the Gmail account etc will help.
I'll have a play with it. Mine is an i8150T, not an i8150, the Australian Vodafone version. Does the phone support 900MHz 3G in hardware? It's not accessible on my Vodafone ROM as they run 850MHz 3G. Maybe I could use a ROM meant for a different country. I did that with my Garmin Asus Nuvifone a50. Installed a Canadian ROM and got it working on 850 instead of the 900 it was supposed to be on as it was an Optus phone originally.

Discussion, Benifits of rooting and available tweaks?

Hi guys, I wanted to start a discussion on the benefits of rooting and any available tweaks/mods/apps people are using. Thanks

For me at least until my SW3 updates to Android 6 I see very little point in rooting my SW3... And as yet other than twrp and Kernel I don't feel there are enough mods etc or even Custom roms(if any) to even bother with rooting... On a phone there are huge benifits but a watch that relies on your phone for most everything I see no advantages yet...
I know what you mean, side loading apps is cool, and being able to change the DPI. Firefox and Google keyboard works well, cm cleaner works perfectly and helps uninstalling apps and es file manager is good for installing apps
Be honest. Do you really need a reason beside "it can be done"?
No lol, but I want tweaks

LOL I guess not. Andhopefull we will get Marshmallow soon and then will have a proper play!
Hopefully, it's been seen in the wild. Just need them to pull their fingers out.
So, while I agree that waiting to root until after 1.4 might be a good idea, here is what I did with root...
Direct wifi access with apps (mostly es File Explorer for on watch app install and uninstall)
Kernel experimenting and tweaking
Uninstall wear apps but keep host apps on phone
All done without a computer (after initial install and setup)
Run most terminal commands with a single tap (like changing dpi)

currently i am running ubuntu in a chrooted environment on my watch (rooted device needed)
Link?
if this question was dedicated to me, my answer is:
I read posts about android and chrootet linux distros and used a similar technique to do this with my smartwatch 3. As soon as I am allowed to post a DEV-THREAD I will probably make a quick tutorial about it.
Looking forward to it. Not something I've looked at
