Darkforest ICS 18-04-2012 INCREMENTAL UPDATE - DISCONTINUED
Hey,
I recently discontinued this ROM as I am working on other stuff for development now, with FreeXperia, and I think this ROM is complete enough to discontinue it.
For the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY, based on Official Sony beta. Tweaked for performance and stability, with some eye candy too.

Light, AOSP styled Android 4.0.3 Rom for the Xperia Play. Rooted, Google Applications and Face unlock pre-installed.
Rom package may look big in size, but that is because Google Apps and Face Unlock are included.
Changelog so far:
Mobile Bravia Engine Installed
Added WiFi fixes
Added Darkforest App with onboard OTA and tweaking
Added latest su binary and superuser application
Google Apps pre-installed
Face Unlock pre installed
AOSP Themed (Thomassafca)
FB Video and Game Like apps removed
De-odexed framework
Added AOSP Messenger/Conversations
Removed Sony Home
Added FileManager (OI)
Busybox installed
Notification Toggles
Property Tweaks
Working Touchpad and Gamepad
New Adreno200 libraries + drivers (performance increase)
Added CPU Option in Darkforest app, here you can set CPU frequency, governor and IO scheduler in app, meaning you don't need SetCPU or NoFrills anymore
To use the CPU settings bit, available frequencies need to be exported at /sys, this is present in Darkforest kernel, not sure about DooMKernel, but this won't work on the stock kernel.
Added CM Music instead of semc music, to add << || |> >> to status bar go into application settings.
Added BLUE notification toggles.
Replaced Launcher2 with Trebuchet, should work well, using nebkat's Trebuchet.
Added AOSP keyboard
Added DARKFOREST Settings in Settings application
Performance Settings under DARKFOREST Settings in application, tweak CPU Speeds, I/O scheduler, CPU Governor
CM Trebuchet (Launcher) Settings under DARKFOREST Settings.
Added WP7 style notifications in the new update, with transparent background.
Screenshots of Incremental update functionality is below.
*** You must use a kernel that exports available frequencies at /sys, Darkforest Kernel does this, if CPU Frequency options are not present in Performance Settings, ask your kernel developer to do this ***
Installation Instructions:
If you are already on Darkforest v4 ICS ROM, there is no need to do the below, just flash the update over the top.
If you are using ANY other rom, you WILL need to do the below. If you do not you probably will run into issues.
First of all, flash this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1571463 <- this contains the base.
Then, flash an ICS kernel, preferably advanced stock, or hotboot one which has recovery.
Then, put the file on SDCard, and flash through recovery
