Im new to xperia play and... i want to know whats the best custom rom for gb and ics. my friend told me that the best for gb is trueancestor... is it really good? on ics, he told me xdark ics rom is the best, is it?
It's a matter of preference,
I use CM9 RC2
For Gingerbread, I love the rom Gin2Jellybean
I use cm9 rc 2 with fxp Turbo 1 kernel. Very smooth so far for the most part .

over clock with nofrills to 1.402ghz using smart ass V2 and deadline and also to boost it up even more (no lag) use application called ramexpander and set it to 512mb ram and 90mb swappiness and click start (top left) and enjoy turn off ramexpander by unticking when your not using it!!!

Camera works fine, The only browser related problem I've came across was when I went to youtube.com instead of the app then proceeded to skip a few minutes into the video... then I got a message saying the browser is not responding... other than that it's awesome, one complaint tho. The sound QUALITY is better but the sound VOLUME is lower than the stock GB.

I'll check out the cola rom. I'm running Slim Bean right now, but I it doesn't seem to have support for moving apps to the SD card. Also not so good with my NES and Genesis emulators...

You could try zeuznxtlite or whatever its called I was looking at it other day looks very lite
And yeh I think thats a kernel problem with moving app2sd as I was testing multiboot before but when multiboot kernel gets app2sd support there will be a winner

I think I found it... ZeuscNXTLite v1.1.1?
That has an interesting install method. Restore from CWM rather than installing from a .zip I imagine I'd have to flash myself back to stock 2.3.3 before I could install that?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on Turbo Kernel (yeah I'm running r9 right now) I'll check that out too. I can handle not being able to use apps2sd, my main gripe is MD.emu and NES.emu won't display video. For some reason I haven't been able to restore my Wolfenstein 3D either... It's hard to have a good day when you can't kill at least one Nazi.

are you saying that if you DO have unlocked boot loader that you CAN change kernel? if so, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using another kernel? i've had no major problems running NXT light and DooMKernel but i do like trying out different things. anyways, GTA VC runs very well on NXT light ROM.
I have heared about that NXTGaming ROM.. based off of NXT LE and it's supposed to be really good for gaming, worth a try I suppose? :angel:

No guarantees tho!

Hello all.
I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.
On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.
I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.
I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.
Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.
Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?
How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?
Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.
Looking to hear from you soon.

This problem is well known... ICS on this device is very laggy and bad.
Wait for JB.

Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...
However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.
I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.
However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?
Many thanks.

Here's what i did,hope i can help you with smoothness.First of all clean flash your stock ftf to remove all tweaks.After that flash the seeder zip file in cwm(search for it in forum).No other tweaks should be there except the touch screen pressure in system-user-idc set it to .001.Now install Mr.Nice guy app in playstore or from blackmart.Download the latest xperia launcher v 2.05b (set its transparency of app drawer to 70%,app drawer size 6*5).Now in mr.nice guy app set this xperia launcher priority to high. Thats it now you will have a very smooth rom.Not to mention you can always install the sony widgets for this launcher

Yup entropy works but the zip i mentioned to you doesn't clashes with the rgnd files in snapdragon devices.Also it generates entropy as per device requirement & not high or all the time

Thanks for the clarification. Nice to understand these things.
Regarding your advices I am only having trouble with Mr. Nice Guy app as it is a paid one and reviews are not very convincing.
However I am having up until now a very smoother experience, nevertheless I am considering changing the launcher as this one is not allowing any changes with the icons and also my favourite widget (Walkman) still does not appear.
Any advices?

the lag is only on launchers i tried a lot all the same (Apex - all xperia launchers - miui launcher ------ etc)
I'm on XS 4.1.2 trinity rom 2.8
does anyone have these issues or just me ?
what should i do heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp i'm starting to hate my phone
Don't make it harder for your phone to react, by installing lots of apps that you don't really need,like Velis Auto Brightness. And you should try installing HONAMI HOME Launcher,you'll have no lag.
thanks for your reply i tried honami launcher it's much smoother but the lag still when running those apps

Sometimes yes. Stock gets much stable and smooth.after removal of bloatwares .while modding somehow slows the ph, nt everytime or every mod.
Thats why modded roms are free from bloatware.
