i want me xperia play's performance in the quadrant standard to go past my 1300-1600 score. and i know i can make it higher by flasing roms n kernel. so straight to the question after all the information.
i want to flash a rom n kernel to my phone, but what are the consequences? will my phone lose the ps pocket(rumor) and the games like bruce lee n asphalt to be able to play on the pad? and what about camera n such?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes, you'll lose the games.
The camera issue has been fixed.

You need ICS firmware aswell, ICS kernels work only on ICS firmware, GB kernels work only on GB firmware.

Don't mix Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.A.0.562(ICS 4.0.3) with 4.1.B.0.431 firmware i did the same mistake and i had the sony Logo appearing repeatly. to make your fone boot correctly just flash any kernel based on 4.1.B.0.431 (ICS4.0.4) with any ROM (stock or custom)based also on 4.1.B.0.431 only
Man, read a little bit the threads at Android Development.
Some roms, you don´t need to unlock your bootloader to install.
About battery, if you have good signal strengh, you only need to root your phone and remove bloatware (sony apps) and your battery will start to last. I use stock ICS 4.0.4 rom with Stock kernel, stock baseband, and my battery usually lasts from 24 to 48 hours.
I use a program called 'No Cpu Frills' and set my cpu to the minimum of 133mhz and to the maximum of 1024mhz, even my phone being an Arc S.
The rom you´re going to use depends more on what you want from your phone. Some roms are designed for games, others for business, others just for ego (lol) and etc...
We have many good Roms for Xperia Arc and Arc S here. Take some days and test them... only you can say for sure what is best for you.
I, for example, before getting back to stock, used a lot the IceBean 4.2 (It´s xperia S´ rom with modifications. Very sexy, indeed.)
Good luck on your quest... =)

If you have unlocked your boot loader you cant install OTA updates or any official Sony updates. To get official Sony update from PC Companion or Sony Update service or Over the air you need locked boot loader. To install official Sony firmware on a device with unlocked bootloader you need to have a tool called flashtool installed on your PC.
Hello! This is my first thread
I have this following problem: I've got the bootloader unlocked and the NXT Rom 1.2 but now, i'd like to flash the Doomlord kernel v14.
The question is:The build of my Xperia Play R800i is 6.0.A.3.73 ... can I flash the kernel with this firmware?
Becouse in the requirements of Doomlord post there is:
"[ requirements ]"
stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62 FW
I'm sorry if my English is not very good.
yes you need to have one of these build no. or you may try other doomkelnels for lower build no.

So,what I have to do now?
Must I flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62 FW? Or I can stay with the 6.0.A.3.73 and flash the doomkernel(v14) with this current firmware?
i mean if you want doomkernel(14) then flash .42 etc if you dont want to change frmw then just flash doomkernel provided for lower frmw but you will loose some features which were made available in v 14. v 14 doomkernel is latest for gb whereas for for lower frmw doomkernel is outdated
Ok thank you very much.
But I've got the last noob question: So,can I flash the 42.(or 58/62) if I have the Nxt Rom that changed my fw to 6.0.A.3.73 ?
Thx again and sorry.
well i dont think nxt rom changed your build no. to lower because it requires .58 so you initially had that lower version.
now use flashtool to flash stock .42 or .58 that you want. and then flash other things i.e kernel and nxt rom again.
and one question for you did nxt really changed your frm ver to 3.73? bcoz i flash .58 based rom (i.e gin2jelly) on .42 and now my build no. is .58
and press thanks button instead of manually saying it
and I recommend to flash 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced FW only because of 420mb userdata partition and simple root.
Well,this is what I did:
1-Unlock the Bootloader.
2-Flash firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced via Flashtool.
3-Install XPERIA NXT v1.2 by Kris Dee.
And after this..if I go to settings my build number is 6.0.3.73. But I thought it was normal becouse on his site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368) he says that this rom is .73 based.
So now I must reflash the 58 Enchanced firmware.After this flash the Doomlord kernel and finally the NXT Rom, right?
Ok I did it by myself...and now I have doomlord kernel with Dixperia 2 Thx.
Well, you didnt needed to unlock bloader for NXT rom, but it will have advantages Have fun!

Basically, I just downgraded to gingerbread from ICS 4.1.b.0.587 due to performance issues. What are the benefits of flashing the latest baseband which is the one from 4.1.b.0.587 the one from that is version 77, works fine, back to the question how will it perform on gingerbread and is it a more preferable one to use or not, also how are newer baseband's better, since they are responsible for the communication.
Baseband
Here is the collection of basebands and also there is list to use which baseband respective to firmware version.
