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.

Yesterday I installed my first custom ROM, a ICS ROM. It's really cool but ICS slows down games and emulators.
What is the best gaming ROM?
I looked the GB ROMs linked by Mayorse (NXT and Gin2JellyBean), what do you recommend?

I'm not sure if you're interested anymore about this question, judging from your post date, but I'll try to help anyway.or if anyone else is curious.
If you're looking for the best game play features your device has to offer with full touchpad support, go for a gingerbread based ROM. The roms below work great for emulators as well as other downloadable games like GTA and are super stable and fast.
Xperia NXT Light Edition & Xperia NXT 1.3 (Hard core gamers)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631144
If you care more about having the latest Jellbean features with less emphasis on gaming than these JB based roms are excellent. Touchpad support is a problem, but emulators work fine and most downloable games run at a decent pace. Stability and speed can sometimes be an issue, but this is rarely an issue.
KXP for PLAY (On screen navigation buttons are superb!!!)

Its GSM so yes its compatible with R800i and Its GB so yes it has working touchpads.
I've been experimenting with Xperia Play roms and kernals for the last week or so and this is my experience.
I first tried to just install the Lupus kernal for a stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. It allowed me to overclock to 1900mhz, but I felt like the the fluidity was still being held back a bit by being on gingerbread, plus I was running out of storage space and I remembered that custom roms can often help with that.
I then decided to jump to a 4.1.2 Jellybean rom with a Lupus kernal that allowed me to overclock to 1600mhz. I loved this rom, and even after I installed everything I could think to install I still had about 400mb of internal storage left. The only issue, which I predicted, would be that the phone just couldn't properly keep up with Jellybean, even under the best circumstances. It would be laggy, and certain games and emulators would jerk around and I would die because of it.
So finally I decided to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 because I read good things about it, and sure enough its been doing me wonders. It comes with its own kernal that allows you to overclock to 1600mhz as well, plenty of extra space, and I would go as far as to say that it's at a near "Apple" level of fluidity. There's only two issues I discovered with this rom, both of which were solved easily enough. The first is that it doesn't come with the ability to disable to auto-brightness, but this was solved by downloading an xperia app on the market designed the correct this. The second is that the circle button on the gamepad doesn't allow you to map anything to it, and always acts as the back button. This can be corrected by editing the keypad file in the settings, and then you're off to the races.
All in all from everything I've done and researched, I would say that CM 7.2 is the best overall rom for the Xperia Play when it comes to a balance of features and performance. If you need help setting up anything I mentioned, let me know
Very simple:
GB> NXT ROM 1.3 (1.4 is coming)
ICS> Hybrid Rom or u can try a STOCK SONY ICS XPERIA 2011 rom...
JB> Wel,, since there's still the touchpad problem, i didn't try many jb roms...

That's a fair point. I just realized that I rarely if ever use the touch pads, so that isn't a factor I've been taking into account with my tests

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

If you want GB Rom, I recommend NXT LE v3.1, and Aurora Play, both with the Lupus Kernel by wedgess.
ICS, I recommend (and I know i'm gonna get boo'ed) Markpython Last version (Today's post), Express Rom or, if you want a neat clean rom, Krisdee's Hybrid Rom.
JB, SlimBean or PACMAN running with the Turbo Kernel. (But no touchpads AFAIK)

Slim Bean gives you very good free ram, but touchpads don´t work. Pacman is more features oriented, but again, no touchpads.
ICS
Hybrid by krisdee gives more free RAM and great perfomance, but is lack of add ons
Express rom, has more features, but just gives about 70 - 90 MB of free ram
Markpython (last posted), until now has performed good for me and great in features, but has a lot of bugs.
I am a big fan of krisdee's hybrid rom a lot of ram yes it does lack some add ons but we can always push it in there the way we want it
Ive also tried playing games like NFS, WILD BLOOD and GTA little to no lag at all.

Thanks to Krisdee, Vokal, Sdjoin, wallace, spizzy01 for there continues works on xperia play and also to doomlord and wedges for there kernels
if you whant great performance and alot of free ram use cm9.1 stable mode with touchpad enabler script(in my opinion its better than stock based gb roms)
for now im trying to make cm7.2 touchpad work but i alwasys get bootloop after fixes. in cm7.2 you get like 260mg free ram with the included kernel but if lupus gb works with it you get like 290mg free ram
if you need xperia futures Markpython ics rom is the best one
if you need xperia style+futres+free ram its imposible(but for now. if a developer works on cm9 based rom with xperia z luncher and walkman app and things like that it will be possible)

Did you overclock your phone? I used to have lag with games but after aurorplay and overclocking my phone I had no problem what's so ever. And from all the roms I've tested so far, I would say Auroraplay is one of the best, if not the best.

Nope, running at 1.2ghz
i really dont suggest overclocking more than 1.2, it may lessen lag but you will definitely sacrifice battery life
you need a little money for better performance and battry life toghether
go buy set cpu app and make a profile for youre game and overclock to 1.6 for that game(with smartassv2 govern)
i suggest lupus gb v6 because the free ram is more than others
suppercharging rom is useful but i didnt understand how
