just a simple question what ROM should i flash.
Which is the best one.
I'd think blacknotes because it has eveything on it.
But Optimized Kezra V4 Final seems good because its claimed no lagg and stuff.
Hi
I am new to the whole rom flashing concept. However after trying all the galaxy w roms in the development section I reached a conclusion that the best rom around is stock rom. U just have to root, add busybox and then apply v6 supercharger and you will have a very stable and responsive device. All other roms had me facing some issue or another.
At least until arco finishes our cm9

It seems that the Cow Bionic rom have highest score from antutu
Are you sure???
What about using new kernel with stock ROM.
....And when you flash a new ROM can you just only restore Data in CWM to get my apps back. i dont want to use titanium back up because its annoying i have alot of apps.
cow rom is the best. most stable. I've tried all the others.
Just so i'm clear.
The roms are pretty stable until I add arabic support. After that I get force close bugs almost 3 times a day. It might be the arabic patch I am using. Anyway after that I went back to stock for UAE and with v6 super charger it's great. I hope to be able to use one of the roms cos I really liked bionic cow 2. But until someone makes it pre set with arabic read/write i'm gonna stick with stock
I also would like to pay respect to all MODers out there. I know they put lots of effort in making the roms and I don't want anyone to think that I don't respect them

Hi,
I think cyanogenmod is the best
Black Notes or Bionic Cow
I might change rom because i cant play temple run with Black notes also BlackNotes has no multitasking at all in any way.
What do you think Black Notes or Bionic Cow

Let me share my experience..
I hope it will help.
- I use kezra ROM for my first custom rom and it's work well for me but it's quite laggy when I play hd game.
- And then COW bionic ROM is available. So I try it (non OC version ). Result: it's work perfectly for my daily use.. it's little bit laggy if for HD game but I didn't play much anyway so I use this ROM for quite long until
- hybrid 2nd generation is available. So I decide to try this new ROM.
this ROM is awesome. I didn't get laggy at all when I am play hd game. But unlucky, I encounter many FC if I use it quite a while without restart it.
- alpha 1 for CM9 is available. So try it.. camera didn't work but I didn't care about it.. it's awesome.. very smooth and also didn't laggy for hd game. But I got APN problem and I can't find the solution at that moment. So I m back to COW Bionic ROM.
- and then arco find APN problem solution. So I try it again. And it work perfectly. And I am use it until now (alpha3). So if camera issue is not major issue for you, i do recommend this awesome ROM.
Or just try spent your time to find your soulmate ROM. Life is a choice anyway. ^.^

for me normal use, it can last 17~19hours
i think bionic cow 7 v2 it's a stable rom..
currently using FAW rom..for me its the best rom compare to others (IMO)
previously im using hybrid, bionic rom v2 oso kezra v4..
all are great in normal usage..but when come to HD games such as shadowgun, asphalt 6 and others, my previous custom rom tend to cause laggy in the game..and sometime when it become so lag..suddenly it will restart by its self..
but im really glad that there are so many developers out there trying their best for the BEST rom..
and im here..always ready to try it!!thanks you all!!

Just a comment. FAW ROM is using stock XXLM8 kernel while others are using Cow kernel. So far, XXLM8/DXLM3 kernel gives better visual performance.
For England Value Pack
is there a rom for the value pack STOCK only.
Because i want just the stock rom because is good.
Where is the rom if there is one?????
i loved it
excellent yar good job.. keep it up...

i don't know if there was a stock value pack just for England region at the moment, but i suggest you to check it on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
or, you can search it on sammobile, on its firmware section (just goog it).
and also, AFAIK the value pack for europe region started from series xxlm6 and above (please CMIIW guys, )
and related with the topic of this thread, i think the bionic V2 still the best GB custom ROM for this device (IMO).
really stable and had many alternatives, such as choosing OC or non-OC kernel, smooth/fast performance, or turn on/off the zram with cow panel. All of that features are really innovative, because it give more options for the user to determine their best setting.

is it better than FAW rom in performance ??
And can u tell me how many hours you had with the FAW rom if you play graphic-intense games ??
i was deciding whether to flash to jokawild or gin2ics rom.
which one will be better in terms of stability and gaming experience? thanks and all opinions are appreciated!
I haven't tried any of them (yet), but how could you be sure without trying them both yourself? WOULD YOU TRUST US?!
I personally prefer PlayOSP by KeiranFTW, but it is ICS. I heard TrueAnchestor was nice too. But it's your choice, you'll have to try them.

no.
I have not yet tried TrueAncestor but in my opinion Gin2Ics if you want a smooth stable experience. For me it is the best GB rom I've seen. It looks exactly like ICS and has many features from the Xperia S implemented, such as messaging, phone, contacts, browser etc.. It's bloatware free and comes with only the bare essentials you need. The internal memory is ridiculous around 300 mb free! (If I remember correctly) It really is phenomenal, fast smooth, stable, good looking, and it has amazing battery life. Best of all the creator Vokal1992 updates the ROM very frequently any bugs found are sorted out in practically no time at all. Try it? What have you got to lose backup your phone now and if you don't like it then just restore.
Hope I've been of any help

And then I tried TrueAncestor, and booom! It's so fast and smooth
TrueAncestor will give you the best xperia S experience, and that's the thing which makes me stuck on that rom

Hey guys, first i want to say i´m sorry for my bad english as its not my native language.
I think i´m ready to install my first Custom Rom, because i want to have ics after using gb such a long time. Also many games such as GTA 3 lag often.
I read that many ics roms have full touchpad support.
So I would like to ask you some questions, i would be very happy to get helpfull answers
1. Is it true that i can play every game that works on gingerbread with that ics roms?
2. What about the gaming performance in comparison to stock gingerbread?
3. Are there any ics roms that runs smooth and with no major bugs?
Thank you very much! I hope that this kind of threads are allowed
1. Some games don't work with the touch pads on ICS
2. Gaming performance sucks in ICS
3. Define smooth. As smooth as gingerbread, none.
Okay, so i think i´ll better stay on gingerbread then, right?
What ist custom rom with the best performance? both, games and overall menu?

i think glazed ICS with lupus kernel is worth trying
Well I'm using markphytonsics ROM and it's running just as smooth as gb for me. It also has the full touchpad fix. The only thing is a very few games don't work on it. You can try that one. Just make sure to do a nandroid incase you don't like the ics experience. Also be sure to titanium backup your apps if you don't want to lose them.
to complete this thread, i´ve finally installed this and it runs really smooth!

the stock debloated recovery zip on these forums is pretty good
To those who have tried CM10-based ROM either FXP, AOKP, or MIUI, I know CM10 has good performance and smoothness all-around,
but I'm curious about these 2 things
How is the gaming performance, mainly Temple Run which I play a lot when waiting or sitting around?
How is the photo quality from camera compared to stock ROM?
(I never tried CM-based ROM so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it, and also I heard that Titanium-backup doesn't work, so I can't restore applications data, which means there'll be lots of work to re-customize the apps .)

Yeah try Cm10 fxp142 or fxp143 (I think fxp143 will come out tomorrow).
Firstly, gaming is amazing! Best gaming ROM I've ever tried thanks to project butter and jelly bean. Modern Combat 3 runs smoothly, and temple run flawlessly.
Secondly, the camera is camera ics from play store. Download it and give it a go and make a judgement if that's good enough for you. Also adfree removes ads on camera ICS, so that's pretty much everybody's set up.
Conclusion: get cm10. Its awesome.
Hit the thanks button if I helped

CM10 sux at gaming bro. Idk about the camera quality but CM10 is too heavy and buggy. Use ICS Pureness. It's been the best ICS rom i came through so far.
for normal use even if in beta stage cm10 is much smoother and snapier than ICS. rest gaming is bit buggy but as more stable versions come it will also get better. for camera the libs are not available for jb so it has problems well most of the jb roms here use ics camera app.
i use paranoid android with fusion kernel 3.5 with no problems .

I've already tried most of Stock-based ROM on the forum, maybe I'll try that too, but I don't have performance issue or anything, even in my current setup in signature, everything (games and what not) runs smoothly,
I just wanted have a taste of Jelly Bean, and since Sony is not updating, I thought about CM10.

Hello all, im searching for a Jb (or ics but i would like to try jb) that can give me overall speed and smoothness, stability, no force closes of apps because of the lack of ram,no compatibility issues and no problems with buttons on emulators. I use my xperia play mostly for emulators and general use and i dont care about running latest games ... im not completely satisfacted about general use of stock. 71 gingerbread that im running now and i would like to try something good based of yours experiences. Thanks everyone

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.
Use xplay Honami rom by smokerman... Fastest ics rom I've ever used...

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
Sorry if my reply offended you (I know you wanted Rom on JB) but this is very interesting option.
