What is the best ICS Rom that plays well with games? I want an ICS custom rom where its stable enough to use daily and can run all of the emulators and xperia play games fine (battlefield, nova, dead space,ect).
ICS++

Well it depends what type of ICS you are looking for. The best I would say would be the official Beta sony released a while ago!
here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...or-unlocked-xperia-play-smartphones-download/
But if don't like the Sony firmware interface and the loads of crap thats comes with it then I'd also say ICS++
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
But I have to say Atarii is no longer continuing with ICS++ he has GalaxyS3 and won't be around as frequent. So I'd say having said that you'd be better off with ROM that DEVS are working on ATM i.e.
1) Cyanogenmod 9 by Freexperia: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447542
Touchpad/gamepad and Gaming Optimisation: Medium (Emulators work still a work in progress) More stable with normal games
2) Official ICS port of Xperia ray: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599269
Touchpad/gamepad and Gaming Optimisation: Good (Emulators work still a work in progress - New game launcher)
Well I was happy with GB 2.3.4 for gaming until I decided to play HAWX. No Gamepad support… then I found GAMEKEYBOARD. At that time there was no support for touchpads, only the game buttons. The only option was JOYSTICK CENTER, only available for ICS! I decided to try it, also willing to get a better user interface…
The first rom I tried was the official sony ICS Beta version, very stable, however it was slow for some high end games (TDKR for example). Some OLD games crashed such as Shadow Guardian and HAWX.
I installed the Pureless ICS afterwards, however the user interface and figures were a little bit too fancy for me…did not tried the performance

Then I changed to Markphyton’s Stock ICS… great rom too. Stable and with nice user interface and widgets, such as menu when scrolling down the screen. 180 Mb RAM size… realy nice! But TDKR was still slow and the crashing game issue still happened for old games… When Wild blood came and even with overclock the game was lagging…I decided to change it back to GB!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682
So… I went back to GB… this time NXT light… what a rom. The rom itself is only 80 Mb, so there is a lots of RAM free! Very stable. Some things I like about it:
- All games run lackless!
- The apps already installed are exactly what I needed (except the file explorer).
o The Music player (Clean Music) plays directories and even skips the song when pressing volume button longer!
o Quick Pic is fast and let me select multiple Pictures at same time
- Percent Battery icon is even better than Markphyton’s Stock ICS
- Menu when scrolling down the screen
- Camera works with buttons and FOCUS and TAKES the picture when pressing R button stead of only focusing like the Camera MOD app in googleplay.
- The cool old TV looking when screen turns off
So I also tried NXT2JB rom just for fun, but it came with so mane apps that I do not use that I went back to NXT light right away!
PS: Gamekeyboard NOW controls touchpads in xperia play... so I am finally happy!!!

Yeah, ICS ROMs are pretty sweet, but some games only work on GB and I'm not willing to part with them.

[Desire Z] Some HD games aren't working

Hi!
I'm using HTC Desire Z (overclocked to 1Ghz) with CoreDroid ROM (for a long time), and I have tried to install few HD games, but they didn't worked.
First of all, Fast Five: when game is launched, it freezes whole phone on loading screen and I must pull out battery.
Real Racing 2: when game is launched, it's pretty lagging, and when I start race it closes game on loading screen.
Asphalt 6/7 and Modern Combat 3 won't even show loading screen on start - game is immediately closed.
Reason why I'm asking for help is because I have installed Asphalt 5, NFS Shift and Hot Pursuit, and they work perfectly - without any lag (especially NFS Hot Pursuit).
So, does anybody know how to solve this, or to recommend me something to try? Thanks in advance!
P.S. Just to let you know that I have properly installed these games, with changed "Build.prop" file for Gameloft games, but I assume that problem isn't with that changed file(?)

[Q] Prince of Persia 2 Shadow and the flame crashes on my Play

So excited that this game is optimized for Xperia Play, but sad it's not working properly. Basically it stays a really longtime on the UBI logo until it reaches the title screen. Once you start the game, it keeps loading and eventually the game just force quits itself. I'm running the latest version of Gin2JellyBean, if anyone know what could be the problem here please let me know. But for now it seems i'll be playing it on ios

Working fine on stock or COLA.
works fine on my AOKP Super Lite Jelly Bean..

OpenGL issues...?

Hello.
I'm an active Xperia lt15i user from the day it arrived in Poland.
I've tried around multiple roms, played a lot of games...
There are some issues with it, and I'd like to ask - is it only my phone, or all Arcs have these issues?
(I'm running P.A.C. 4.2.2 milestone 1, but I had the same problem when riding on stock GB, CM7, stock ICS, CM9, 4.1 AOKP, 4.1 Paranoid Android, CM10 and P.A.C 4.1 from an old thread. Most of them with Lupus up to v12 JB)
First - games like Splinter cell Conviction, Starfront: Collision or Assassin's creed Altair chronicles have graphical glitches that make games unplayable. Splinter Cell, for example, makes all textures (except characters) black. Starfront's hud is made from pink/red triangles and circles around minions change into big green squares that cover 50% of screen. Assassins creed simply works only in menu. After the loading screen I only see dialogue boxes. Rest is black.
Also, any emulator that has a "use OpenGL to render" does not work after using that function. Nds4droid (or whatever) simply does not render 3d after checking the option. N64oid and all other n64 emulators have black screen. Even if I check graphic enhancement in GBA emulator it makes the screen go black. (not the whole screen, just the game is not rendering)
I need to add that if I use "software" renderer 3d works, but at 5-8fps, as to be expected with software renderer.
Is that a hardware issue, or it is a common problem? I don't know, because I don't know anyone with a 2011 Xperia, especially Arc or Arc s. Is there a fix for that? Maybe crossfire for GB? (I did not try it)
---
Also, is there a rom for Arc that is based on Gingerbread, but has JB interface/paranoidandroid hybrid settings? I mostly ask because I'm running 4.2.2 and don't want to learn the old settings Ui again...
Thanks in advance.
