Hey everyone, so I've had my Xperia Arc for nearly 2 years and it's the same android (2.3.4). It's recently started to lag like crazy and freeze a lot so I've been thinking about upgrading to a better rom. I've used the eroot method with one click to root it.I've got superuser access.
Will I able be able to upgrade straight to Xperia Ultimate HD?
I've been reading tutorials and youtubing for hours but it's still going over my head. Any simple written instructions or answers would help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Just follow the instructions on the UltimateHD thread, it will tell you how to get the ROM flashed onto your phone.

I've been reading the threads for a few hours now and honestly I'm getting really dizzy just reading and re-reading through it all lol. If you could just answer one or 2 questions it would be helpful.
If I were to install a rom would I need to flash a kernel? As I have already rooted my phone can I just use flashtool to flash lupus kernel?

Yes, kernel is a must. Without the kernel, your phone won't run properly.
As for the Lupus kernel, it is a custom kernel and so should be flashed via fastboot, if you have unlocked your bootloader beforehand.

Rooting isn't enough to flash kernel...kernel needs unlocked bootloader...if you are on gb you will have to flash stock ics firmware...root it... Install cwm and then ultimate hd...

Not all kernels need unlocked bootloader. You can still flash stock kernels via flashtool with locked bootloader. Only custom kernels like CM kernels need unlocked bootloader to flash.

Will the fact that my 2.3.4 version is rooted matter at all if I'm to upgrade to ice cream sandwich like in the video?

No, since official update to ICS will cause you to lose root. You need to root again after updating.

Thank you for answering my questions, I really appreciate it. Just a final one, if I get cold feet about installing a custom rom is the offical ice cream sandwich decent enough or better than 2.3.4 ginger?
I just really want a better walkman/music player than the standard one.

Walkman was never officially included in 2011 Xperia devices. But I see more devs making ports for ICS. As for GB and ICS, they both have advantages and disadvantages. GB favors performance but lacks many features. ICS has more features but lags more than GB.

I see, thanks for that. My phone has recently started lag quite badly but that may be because i have 2500 songs on my sd card. Use it as a music player as much as a phone, which is a shame then that the music player (including apps on the market) are pretty crap.

Walkman was only on 2011 Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman phone, although it's interface was more or like the same as stock music player on other 2011 phones.

There are no custom ROMs because:
1) there is still no universal way to back up restore the relevant phone data (Trim Area, or TA)
2) there is still no custom recovery
3) there is no way to unlock the bootloaders for people with SIM-locked phones
4) there is only a certain number of people with interest and means to work on the three prior points.
You should be patient and support the people who are working on it. They'll do great things if we let them work

1) It's possible for now with Omnius - it officially supports TA backup/restore for MSM7x30 platform.
2) It's almost there. Check out Arc section - it works but with graphical glitches, but no files to flash yet...
3) I'm working with Androxyde on TA backup/restore tool in hex format. It'll make my progress on this much easier.
or better yet we should be trying to get xrecovery to work on our phones, doomlord and Z are trying to get it to work on the arc(they might have it working by now) once that can be implemented then we'll be able to do custom roms no problem
1) I cant wait
2) I cant wait
3) I cant wait
4) I guess i will wait, good things come to those that wait
I'm 90% happy with the stock play rom, but we all know the xda developers unlock more than 110% of a mobile devices potential

Some roms are prerooted, but you may need an unlocked bootloader for some(Just read rom thread), and another way to root is "fastbooting a kernel" like Doomkernel. Just search around. You will find it in Play "Android Development"

Hello guys,
I recently bought my Arc S, and today i Installed CM 7.0.2 105
I tried it and it's nice, kinda, calendar look is awful comparing to original overall some things better, some not - personal point of view.
I was wondering is there a way to reset everything back as it was (some how to would be nice)?
Or If i wanted to have stock based functions (FM, HDMI), but without bloatware and with slightly better battery life, what would you recommend me?
Also, since i installed CM will I be able to download official ICS when SE release it?
Thank you for answering these newbies questions

DooMKernel and a stock based ROM like Acronium or XperiaMOD.
Or completely stock with root, removed bloatware and V6 Supercharger.

Anyhow i flashed it using this site:

Ok, i would asked in the ROMs thread but it seems i don't have permissions just yet, here it goes...
It's actually about 3 ROMS but it involves only 2 questions, First...
Could it be possible to install THIS which is the WALKMAN UI for GB in the Gin2JellyBean 1.8.1(already installed on my phone)?????
And Second...
Trying to install [ROM][GSM][XperiaPlay Ice Cream Pureness][ver.2.1][Based on stock 4.0.4 FW][17.08.12] i came with an MD5 mismatch error when installing(yes i have a locked bootloader) and i think it is because it tries to install over a GB rom, also reading i found that it might be possible to install it if somehow we could manage to install an ICS rom prior to installing the XP ICP 2.1 ROM, my question is... if i install Markphytons ICS 4.0.4 Sony Orginal Rom Xperia S Features for Xperia Play could it be possible to make this ICP 2.1 work on the Play? or is there a known way to bypass or fix the MD5 mismatch error?
Thank you all so much :fingers-crossed:
lol i got a locked bootloader too. i tried flashing ice cream pureness and i softbricked my pnone. but i fixed it with flashtool. the reason why thats happening is because u cant flash an ics rom over a gb kernel
That's my point, if i install the Markphytons ICS 4.0.4 rom, which is an ICS rom, the ICP 2.1 would work installing over it??????? the only problems with Markphytons ICS rom are the camera and the pad.

Here is a real sugestion for you why don't you unlock your bootloader and avoid any of the "hassles" your experienceing now. About Markphytons bootloader locked rom it obviously still has bugs that needs fixing. Otherwise you would be waiting for a fix and you would flashing random roms which obviously will not work on your device. (Don't even bother flashing "custom roms" unless your bootloader is unlocked)
bootloader unlock allowed-No... That's why, i think it's something called sim locked or something similar

Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.
BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

Yea, Version 13 of lupus Kernel its right their, its under the Jellybean Section(as its only works for JB ROMs).

You can find a lot of ROMs under the Android Development section of the Xperia Play Sub-Forum here:

[ROM][GSM][CDMA][CM10][MULTIBOOT][NEOL+PLAY]Racing SPEED EDITION EOL[12/02/2014]
If you really are looking for the best gaming performance then I recommend sticking to Gingerbread.
And yes there is a Kitkat ROM but a lot of things don't work on it yet like WiFi and the Camera.

Yea, you will probably need to try out different ROMs to see which one fits your needs the best. The 720p and 480p are the camera resolutions, if you use a 480p Kernel you will get more Free RAM.
I have no problem answering your questions, just remember to click on the "Thanks" button but you can probably find the answer faster if you search instead of waiting for some one to reply. There is even a search bar if you only want to search on this Thread(on the right side).

Oh I see, meaning 720p eats more RAM than the 480p? If so then I think I'll go with 480p . Yep, I always give proper credits to the one's that help me , I would also like to thank you rather than just hit the Thanks button . And a few last questions, is it best to use Lupus Kernel or Turbo on a JB ROM? And I've seen this:
* Flash FTF 62 or 79,if already have it,no need.
Does that mean that I have to find a suitable .62 or .79 Stock ROM for my device since I'm on .270 or should I should just flash the Kernel and ROM directly?

* Flash FTF 62 or 79,if already have it,no need.
Does that mean that I have to find a suitable .62 or .79 Stock ROM for my device since I'm on .270 or should I should just flash the Kernel and ROM directly?

Yes, 720p eats more RAM then 480p. Your welcome . I don't know which one is best (and technically asking whats the best ROM/Kernel is not allowed in XDA), I mostly used Lupus Kernel but Turbo Kernel does have the ability to multiboot so its kind of a preference thing.
Oh, I just noticed you have the the R800at which means your phone is CDMA. I really cant help you much with this since I know very little when it comes to the CDMA model of the Xperia Play. Your going to have to do some research. What I know is that there should be no problem with the Kernels, what you need to look for is that the ROM you want to install on your Phone is made for the CDMA model of the Xperia Play(it usually states it on the tittle).

My phone is actually GSM , and about my last question, do you actually need to flash .62 or .79 before you flash the ROM?

I don't think you really need it, but if you can, flash it just in case.
