What is the BEST gb and ics custom rom?

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.

from xperia PLAY

Ics based roms have compatibility problems with certain games don't know which if u are looking for any ics if not u don't have to worry all gb based roms are working fine

Xperia NXT 1.2
High perfomance, good for gaming
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I use Gin2JellyBean 1.8.1, great looking, smooth and i think is the colsest to have a ICS or JB experience based in GB, it also has great space to install apps and the option to install directly to SD Card.

For gaming, Dixperia 2 or Xperia NXT. Both Great.

I would recommend useing Markphyton's rom ICS 4.0.4
This rom offers touchpad support for gaming in ICS by using sony official beta ics kernel.

Gin2JB is for eyecandy. Thats why its more laggy.

Best Rom for Everything ???

Just wanna know the best rom for :
Gaming
UI (LooKs)
Speed & Performance
Battery Life (Even with slight Overclock)
Cant really find one that looks really good.

DiXperia 2, Lupus Linaro GB v2. Thats it.

The one u already used: NXT Rom

But still after a lot of thread that ask the same Q, and yet we hav another. Pretty weird tho.

Please help me for my xperia !
hi people. I will soon receive my xperia play and I really need advice.
If I did not root my phone or install a custom rom, can I play for example zelda ocarina of time has no lags or any problems or many other zelda games is just one example.
At the interface disign and I brace for a moment by the version 4.0.4 that I love.
So I advise you to install a custom rom or rooter my xperia play?
Another issue because I have a xperia x8:
Have known you a custom rom 4.0.4 with the camera and complete?
(please send me links I pert on your forums yet sorry)

gin2jellybean, if you like that.. looks smart got bored of gb and thats not team gb!

No one can answer this really can they.

Well, there's loads.. there's Gin2JellyBean, NXTRom, DiXperia, or if you want to try out ICS, there's Mark Phytons ICS ROM for Android 4.0.4

Sorry to hijack and all that but if all I want to do gaming wise is play emulators and not the latest games what would be the recommended ROM? Currently using 2.3.7 true ancestor with doom kernel. Fancy a bit of ics, but don't want to sabotage my ability to play megadrive and snes games (and so on)
Cheers all

Temple run lag.. Reason?

Tell me one thing guys. My Arc S is really smooth and it runs usually many games but then why does a small game like temple run lags on it?
Am i installing it wrong or so? (I have link2sd installed)

Temple Run isn't that small of a game. It's normal for our arcs to struggle keeping up with temple run. Our hardware is fairly old compared to other phones.

On my arc lt15i using GB Arconium and doom kernel no lag,tried the game,but too boring for me to keep playing it.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

It was stuttering and laggy for me too, but then after I flashed my current kernel, I have better experience, of course you should always check for malicious app running services that's hogging cpu time.
My current setup is in my signature.

Get Gingerbread.
ICS and JB ROMs are crap for playing.

Switch to GB man:good:

X-Gamer + DooMKerneL v22 @1.4Ghz = No lag, but Battery Drain.

When you unlock it,you'll get the best from your Arc.Then you'll see how good Arc is.Cheers

I am also having the same problem.
I installed .42 firmware with DoomKernel Version 22. Superb performance....no lags at all. Better battery. :laugh:

No lag using besttt's AOKP build 5, fusion kernel v3.5, baseband 77, oc 1600. :good:

i had this problem on my arc s then i researched it and found a little solution:
go to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1337955&d=1348044534
then download and save on your memory card.
i recommend a back up then flash it.
this is a graphics driver will improve your graphics, reduce game lag(not completely), and make your arc s smoother.
dont thank me cuz i didn't come up with the idea

[Q] Xperia PLAY ICS full working ROM

Hi there.
I need ICS ROM for Xplay with everything working, especially TOUCHPADS and GAMEPAD
Is there any ICS rom that full support touchpads and really works, i found neo2play rom, xperia play zeus final v5 rom, and in description i reed that touchpads are supported 100% but when i tried games like mc2, nova 2, rainbow six etc. when i touch the touchpads, games forces close :/
Touchpads only worked on fifa 12 and 9mm(in games that i tried).
And what about official sony ICS beta for PLAY? Does it have full supported touchpads, anyone tried it ? If it has full working touchpads, than i'll have to relock my bootloader and install that rom because i really need ICS rom with everything full working.
Please post a link of a ICS rom thread(if there is any) with full working touchpads and gamepads.

Hi, you can try krisdee's hybrid ROM or the Darkforest ROM. The first one is lighter so it's better for gaming but the second one looks more like ICs. Trough, why don't you use a GB ROM for gaming insteand than an ICs one? ICs ROMs are heavier and less friendly with RAM than GB ones. I don't know how could nova be playable on an ICs ROM :S anyway i'm a new user here and i haven't got enough messages to post links but the krisdee's rom is easy to find but the Darkforest must be uploaded again.

I need ICS rom because some apps that i use need android 4+ to instal
I only need ICS ROM with everything working well.
In last days I tried about 10 different ROMs and in every ROM i reed that touchpads work perfect, i tested it and whenever i touch the touchpads in modern combat 2, it gives me FC, same thing in rainbow six and brother in arms
could this problem be kernel releted? because i always use lupus ics/gb v7 720p stock based kernel.
OR could apks of games be a problem, i downloaded tham all in one pack(gameloft games) and let them download their data over wifi.

Krisdee's hybrid ROM should have full working touchpads. Search it here on xda and try it. Anyway i don't think it's a kernel problem...

I just flashed it and tried modern combat 2 again, and still there is the same problem, when i play with touchpads, game forces close, now i'm spectic and i think that this isn't problem with ROM's, it's problem with me, but what i could do wrong ? fifa 12 and 9mm are fully working on touchpads, but all gameloft games don't work on touchpads, i tried to download new apks optimized for Xperia Play and still the same "force close" when touching the touchpads :/
If anyone knows the fix please reply

I think the problem are the games in fact modern combat 4 works fine for me, touchpads too.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

There is no ICS/JB rom with touchpads working on ALL games. If the games you want can't be played on ICS/JB then stay on GB. Or use ICS/JB rom and, with tears in your eyes, remember the good old times when all games was working with touchpads...

Now tried 2.3.7 Gin2KitKat GB ROM and touchpads works in modern combat 2 and in brothers in arms 2 , maybe ICS ROMs aren't optimized for "some games"(like mc2, bia2 etc.) I didn't try mc4 but now i'll try it too to see if it's working on some ICS ROM on my phone, i reply when i test it.

And if you really need ics ROM you can try the multiboot.
