I have used my xperia play for 1.3 years and i tried many roms. For gb roms, i tried NXT 1.3, NXT 2 r1, DiXperia 2 & 3, AuroraPlay 2.0, xElite Gamer 2.0, Gin2KitKat 3.1.0, Atomic GB 7.1(by Sewer56lol), and some outdated gb roms. However they dont satisfy me. For Nxt 2 r1, gta vc lags but ppsspp smooth, and for auroraplay, gta vc smooth ppsspp lags, same goes to other gb roms. About ICS roms, i tried many too except cm9 & cm10 based, i like ICS roms because many features and looks nicer but i won't use it for more than 1 month because the gaming performance is very poor and gamekeyboard is very unstable on ICS roms. I have returned to stock rom(.58 enhanced v3) once and the performance is very good but the ui looks very ugly. So after some use i went to ICS roms and then to gb roms. Now im lost and i cant decide which rom i should use and now im thinking about return to stock rom again but i have no knowledge about theming stock rom or change the framework of stock rom. So im stuck in the roms and i guess im pretty much bored of the roms and the device itself.....But im sure i won't sell my xperia play because its epic gamepad and im not rich enough to get newer phones
I've had the xperia play for almost 3 years here, and i can totally relate to your arguments. Gaming performance being poor on ics roms and the GB and JB roms having an uglier ui. It's been stated that GB works the best for gaming. However for ICS and GB, if you're facing terrible lag which gets to the point where your games are unplayable then you should do something about it. I'm not sure if there's a way to completely get rid of the lag on the xperia phones but what i did was install some tweaks such as 'Liquid Speed' and 'Pure Performances' which did the trick for me . That being said, there are a lot more tweaks than the ones i mentioned but i am using these 2 and even though i'm using the rom xperia z express ics, most games barely lag
PS: The gamepad works fine for me, so it must be the rom you're using
I wish you luck

Use MIUI v4 ICS.. it gives u good theme options.. Touchpad/Gamepad works amazing.. am on it at the Moment.. with Turbo Kernel 3.1.1 which gives 400mb space. you should try it out for sure.. I use it with 256mb Swapfile. no scripts and it works good enough.. for sure with scripts would work even better.. I overclock it at max 1ghz.. never more..

i am currently running Ice Cream Pureness rom with stock ics kernel....but i tried to play real racing 2 which had very choppy gameplay....i initially thought that maybe the Arc S hardware isnt capable...but i read somewhere that it might be down to what rom & kernel i use. Is this true? If so, then what rom & kernel combination would be the best for full on performance?

I play real racing 2 with arconium 4 with KTG kernel, runs fine, but the game ONLY crash everytime I try to play the H2 NRGEE cup, also sometimes the menu lags
well...i am using jj's hybrid rom with stock kernel....the game ceased to be choppy but now it crashes & goes to homescreen without warning....which didnt really happen before
GB is not dead. i find GB more battery friendly and stable for playing HD games and besides there's not much difference ics and gb its only the numbers.
Not only the Numbers.
Theres a BIg Difference in ICs & gb

Any good roms for Xperia arc with stock kernel? I can't unlock my bootloader, so I'm bound to use the stock kernel.

From my experience with Pureness V10/11 its always laggy with games.
If you don't care about graphical user interface , definitely JJ hybrid rom is great (fast - compatible with games - has ROM control as well) ,few bugs though like wifi hotspot http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1537717
If you care about having nice user interface with reasonable game performance with lots of free ram available you can try Jelly sandwich http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1836993 or the Remix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1884958
For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

I'm using ArcKnigt Kernel RC 3.4.
I agree with you on Pureness V10 always laggy with hq games.
I tried JJ's Hybrid rom but i guess i am a UI person and changed myselft into Jelly Sandwich 6.2 with lots of free ram. Also i can play Real Racer, Agent Dash etc witout lag. :good:
But for a game performance i guess JJ > Jelly Sandwich 6.2 for my observe.
Didnt test Jelly Sandwich 7.0. Maybe that one a bit faster than 6.2 who knows?
definitely jj's hybrid rom with Archnight Kernel 3.5.1 . played most of the games without any problems on this rom.
i always recomande xperia ice bean 4.2n!
Try Xgamer 1.6...Its based on GB thot...Best gaming experience , lots of free ram...Gb 2.3.7 based...Ics is not meant for gaming mate...Understand this..and Gb is not dead yet...
GB is better than ICS in case of playing game, but if you like ICS, choose advanced stock kernel ,jelly sandwich or Ultimate HD 2.0 Rom.
The latest CM10 is amazing

I've tried xgamer 1.6 on xperia arc GB .64,used doomkernelv22 and had battery issues,my battery drained every 3 minutes 1%.So i don't know if that was problem with my phone and me only but i don't think xgamer ROM is ideal.
Till now i used GB .42-Arconium 8.2-doomkernel v22 and it was perfect,with games,smooth no lag,very,very stable.But...now i'm on GB.62 Stock rom-doomkernel v22 snd some new apps from xperia s,didn't try gamings yet but one is sure,GB rocks with gaming,ICS on the other hand,sucks.

Hi, there are some good roms out there, if you are looking for an ICS rom maybe this is the best one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682#
But if you are looking for a Jelly Bean rom the best ones are P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus and Turbo UI
In my case I´m using P.A.C.man rom but it lags a little bit when you use the toucpads, but for example FPse emulator runs very smoothly
I suppose that the developer who created this rom in the next update will fix the touchpad lag issue, but if you don´t want to wait i think that the better rom and most updated one is Turbo UI.
I also have to say that this is only my oppinion and the only roms which I have tested were the ICS rom (and for me it had some problems with root) and P.A.C.man rom (which I´m actually using and I´m very happy with it).
& Merry Christmas
thankx, but which one of these have best performace for games ( P.A.C.man, Slimbean, Jellyzeus or Turbo UI) ?
you have pac-man, so can try gta vice city if working ?
I think that Turbo UI, but as you know the best experience is to try each one, and then you will know which one is better for your needs.
I haven't tried Vice City yet, but when I try it I will tell to you if it it's working smoothly. The great news are that I have heard that for some people it runs perfectly
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Sorry man but when I try to install GTA Vice City the phone says that I don't have enough space for intalling the game, and actually I have 134mb of free space. If I solve the problem I will try Vice City and I will tell you how it looks in P.A.C.man rom
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Hi, dont worry, i tried it already...
result - tried BETA ICS, AOKP-KXP, Slim Bean, PacMan, TurboUI...
TURBOUI is winner, GTA VC runs best on this ROM... So if somone looking for best performace rom , this is it (R3 + turbo kernel R8)...
but touchpad dont works at all tested rom, so i decided, if you want play games on xperia play, return back to GB+Holo launcher (NXE Light Edition) is a best choice...
thanks to all
I suggest CM9.1 fxp 152 + farenheit fix. Perfect ICS. I know ghere are still touchpad problems with JB. Stay away from Markphyton ics rom
can you try GTA Vice City on it ?
so i tried it,ň (FXP) and games run smoth.... maybe better then on turboui... but touchpad still dont work
Greetings!
I've seen a few JellyBean Roms for the Xperia Play (xda and YouTube), but have yet to test any of them out. Just wondering if anyone out there is sold on one particular JB Rom, if so, which one? Gingerbread based Roms are oldies but goodies since they tend to offer the best stability plus can be themed to look like ICS or JB but since there is no Xperia Play 2 in sight, I'd like to at least run a current firmware. I've read of lagging, force closes, and touchpad issues, which make me hesitant to make the jump but hope someone has found that JB gem that I'm looking for. Basically, the Rom should be as stable as can be (preferably still being updated), best battery performance, all the basics (camera, true multitasking, wifi, bluetooth, etc) are all functioning properly, and as for gaming, working touchpads (I do overclock which helps performance wise). Also, state the Kernel you use/prefer with the JB Rom, and why. Anyways, I'd prefer JB over ICS at this point and GB over ICS as well so it is what it is. Hope to see some suggestions, advantages/disadvantages, and helpful info regarding JB Roms for Xperia Play. Thanks for your time y'all!
Currently running Aurora Play v0.8 (GB 2.3.7) Rom, LuPuS GB v6 720 Kernel
Previouly ran with NXT Light Edition (GB 2.3.7) Rom, DooMKernel v14
The two kernels for jelly bean are lupus jb v8 or turbo kernel. They are both great. The best jelly bean roms are pac man and aokp that was modified by someone. Slimbean was also good but lots of people had problems with it though I never did. So far slimbean offers the best ram but pac is the most stable so you should go with that. Really the best thing you can do is try them and see which one suits you best

there is no fully touchpad support jb rom
for fully touchpad support roms you should use ics roms (in ics roms touchpad doesnt work 100% in aosp ones) or gb roms

We can't help you find a ROM these thread always get closed because there isn't one ROM that suits everyone, like I'm running pacman right now but I might decide to with slimbean v5 and my own tweaks to it or I might ftf back 2.3.4 GB for gaming its basically trial and error on what you want and what you like

Just one question why do you want to upgrade to Jelly ?
Thank for answering, i would like to upgrade to jb because i would like to have the latest features and to use apps that arent compatible with gb, since i dont use phone for heavy gaming but just emulators i would like to know about experience of users who are on jb, im not asking for the best rom available like other people do, but i just asked about wich rom is more suitable for my use since i only need system smoothness, no force closes and no problems with buttons in emulators
Also i dont really like the memory management of gb on stock and customs, i have occasional force closes and with ram tweaks the situation is worse
Thanks again

For me I searched for a uptodate ROM that have good performance and a good look so there might be better performing ROMs but whitout a nice look (if you want goo performance you need to give up from the look, for me I searched for a balanced roms good look good performance).
If you really want all the new stuff I suggest you to go with Jelly ROMs.
I currently have Miui v5 3.8.16 with dolby which is a very nice ROM Google now works perfectly many features great look and feel, but it's not the best with games (it's acceptable, it's worth for 1 try).
There are some great performing ROMs with different look like there is the: Xperia Z Jelly Bean withe a nice Xperia Z look.
If you prefer the stock android look then CM10.0 FreeXperia Project it's updated every weak or so, very good performance lot of customization ( there is this Project Jellyzeu which is stopped, same stock jelly bean as cm 10.0 but whit out the cm features, this is pure stock very good performance.),
If you would try ICS ROMs I suggest you ICS Original nice Sony ICS look and good performance too.
You should try Cm10 free xperia project. Actually this is the best one for me. I have tested alot of JB roms and this is my guard for now. Stable and smooth UI (you can try use Pure audio and PurePerformances pack's,and the ROM is flying away! - search at Android Software and hacking general development) at newset build FXP237 touchpads are not working,but at 235 works.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with various jb and ics roms,i will try them, also i would like to know, does jelly bean and project butter makes the difference on overall speed and smoothness than ics on our device? If you want, everyone who upgraded or who revert to gingerbread can post his experience and impressions and tell me if its happy or no after upgrading to ics or jb/reverting to gb
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
i tried many ics and jb roms here and after a while everytime i reverted back to stock based roms and now finally again to real stock with my own mods.
in games performance in jb and ics was the same for me. daily usage is smoother in jb but ics has the touchpads so for me in focus on gaming CM9 was the right one.
i reverted back go GB in the end because generally it was slower everywhere. GB is snappy, you tip the finger, the action happens. i have so much stuff installed and the heaviest games still run as on the first day.
even emulators. i use retroarch mostly and pcsx runs just perfectly under GB - one of the most problematic games colin mcrae rally 2.0 runs beautifully. under ics / jb the gpu drivers are not that good and refresh rates aren't reported right - results in some kind of stuttering. can be fixed but not perfectly.
or compare crazy taxi or most wanted (with opponents and heavy stages -> hint to reviewers here who just show a single lap without anything on the street) - they lag like hell under ics or jb - perfectly fluid on GB - this is the deal breaker for me. definitely.
Interesting, i didnt know about stuttering, i tought that the updated adreno drivers will let gpu gain more 3d performance, anyway with jb there are problems with touchpad or even with gamepad? Jb kernel supports unlocked data partition? Personally i ve tried some ics roms but i finded a bit heavy and laggy in general use then gb so i returned on gb, have to try if project butter makes really the difference, jb should be an improvement over ics

I bought an Xperia T that runs on jelly bean.... its horrific I removed over 100 preinstalled apks and it still idles at 350mb RAM usage
My desktop pc dosnt even use that much. the battery only lasted 5 hours max. and there's no solution for the locked bootloader
I chucked that thing in one of my draws and bought a second hand Play
With my Xperia mini pro I was a big fan of cm7
But with the play I couldn't get the touch pads to work (need for modern combat 4 if anyone knows how to fix that id love to know)
So I tried gin2jellybean ROM with lupus kernel (think its gingerbread that looks like jellybean)
battery's awesome (24 hours still on 95%) touch pads work,
There are some things id like to change and I miss allot from cm7 but overall very happy with it :good:
Rom decision
The best rom really depends to your taste.
I suggest that you try to read the roms on our android development and choose what do you need and like.
Also it is better on gb but for ICS and JB you will need too focus on gaming or looks.
At the moment I am using Nexplay by Cyberscopes and currently observing it.
Overall the best rom will really depends on you.

Try Gin2jellybean then. I know its on GB but its very fast, it has so much free RAM and it has JB look and feel. Thanks to being on GB it has no compatibility issues, all buttons work and playing on this Rom is awesome experience

Hello everyone
I think it would be time to try a newer version of android, But can not decide which, maybe you could help me and explain to what is better ics or jb. Which is faster. I need your opinions
Thanks for your help
jb.. better features.. almost same or better speed than ICS. Touchpads probs in JB more than ICS. but you can try different ROMS and check.
I've tried several roms in all my days with my PLAY and I can assure you ICS is the best IN THE ACTUAL MOMENT. Why? Some days ago I was with a JB on my phone and the touchpads still kind a lag a bit in some games, and this don't happen on ICS roms as far as I know.
true dat.. after writing my comment on top.. I also shifted to MIUI v4 ICS.. and yes.. touchpads run.. phone runs.. everything funs proper.. ICS is the best mix of GB and JB.
well i almost used all the roms over xperia play forum and too many ported roms but myself from arc
i can say that nothing can give me the experience of gb but if you can deal with video lags because of outdated graphic drivers
but if you want to switch to a higher android version i will suggest ics to you
all of the jb roms have some video related problem (i dont know why ) and games are not running well in jb
but jb is a little faster in ui if you choose a well tweaked rom like super jb
but if we get a 3.4 kernel we can have a great working kit kat with great speed in games (achotjan is getting the xperia play soon :victory: )
(even x10 has kit kat now :crying: )
KITKAT WOULD BE GREAT :d
