Default [Q] Vanilla Gingerbread/ICS?

I just two days ago got an Xperia Play, and I'm wondering what's the easiest way to get to VANILLA (not launchered) Gingerbread, and with ICS coming out I do not want SE's bloatware.

I considered freezing Sony Ericsson Home.apk then read you can mess up your phone. :l

AWESOOOOOME! Is it a final build yet though?
Can I use flashtool? I'm new to rooting (you have no idea how bad that sounds to some Australians, oh man)

(I think I'll try ICS++ first, is there anywhere I can get CWM for Play?)

My advice is to use AOKP. With Cyanogen, I had problems with data, not with AOKPlay

For the Recovery, I have a tutorial to install it, but it's in French. If you need a translation, PM me : phonandroid.com/forum/xperia-play-cwm-recovery-avec-bootloader-verrouille-t10220.html

Is the battery life good/game compatibility good? If not then forget it.

Also, at this time, would it just be possible to install the clean GB Home.APK launcher file?
