I live next to yours haha
Smartassv2 on screen and off screen best governor for this rom with io scheduler set to noop and it finally solves some lagging problems. However the video playback both streaming and not still stutters for me. Also when zooming in web pages it renders which causes a reboot for me especially when loading xda pages which is not the case with gb roms I have tested.

Is there going to be an update for this ROM?

I am on the v1.0 and can't complain about anything at all, just curious because I keep checking..

Or are you waiting for the released ICS from Sony?

thomassafca,
Is it possible to have old recent apps, it is somewhat slowing the system.
Also if there any multiple apps running in background like 5-6 and I open browser I get system reboots.

Will a new update have faster system with more RAM.
Can you also do the changes to supercharger where some discussions were happening.

is there a way to update apex on this rom? I keep getting prompts to update it but when I try to install the update it says something about a conflicting certificate and that I need to uninstall and reinstall. But I CAN'T uninstall apex since it came with the rom. I even tried a different launcher to see if that would let me update but it did not :(

It's because our version of Apex is installed to /system. Remove /system/com.anddoes.launcher.apk then you should be able to update it. Remember to install and switch to another launcher first

Yeah I figured that out on v1.1 and didn't install another launcher >.< luckily, Google play was in my recent apps and I used it to open the app that pushed it to system o.o"

Can anybody confirm if they actually got version 1.2 working fully, with no slow down / lagging / crash and reboots?

I tried it and everything just DIED so I reverted back to version 1.0, but I liked having the supercharger and stuff.. which was good until you tried to run apps..

I love this ROM and appreciate the work the devs have done, and am just wondering whether I should do a nandroid backup, and try 1.2 again? Or do I wait?

I know this is the Xperia PLAY section but I just tried this ROM on my ARC and it works but when going into options and other apps the accelerometer is all screwy but the home screen is good so is there any chance of getting this working right for other ARC users?

Thanks in advance.

I recently ran the update to 1.2 was on 1.1 previously, but keep having issues with root now?

Has anyone else who ran the update had these issues? Sometimes root is working other times it does not.

Titanium however has never worked since I updated?

Still on v2 of DoomLoRD's kernel so might update that to v3 and then install the FULL 1.2 package? Unless another update is due to drop in a few days if so I'll wait.

I would like to give my compliments to the author of this rom. With DoomKernel v3, .64 baseband and 380mb->420mb tweak i find my ICS experience absolutely astonishing!
This is so far the stablest and smoothest rom i have tested.
thank you

    This is a custom ROM based on the official Xperia Play beta released by Sony. This uses a full AOSP theme, with the Sony framework, so it can still be used for gaming with the touchpads. The custom performance improvements should show a noticeable increase in usability and speed, but still keep good battery life.

    If you appreciate the effort or use this ROM, please thank both Atarii (this post) and thomassafca (post #2 below) as this is a team effort, with both working on it equally :)

    [ Update v1.2: ]

    The 1.2 update is now available! This should have great improvements to the speed and the stability of the ROM. The V6 SuperCharger script really improves the speed and smoothness and no more random reboots were experienced during the testing! This was due to a lower value we used for the DalvikVM (hoping to improve multitasking), but actually degraded it. We're really happy now with the speed of this ROM and hope you guys notice the change too! :)

    Included in this update is the new reboot menu, allowing reboot into recovery/fastboot from the menu. Hot reboot is a dirty method and not recommended ;p Also included is the HTC Sense 4 style recent apps menu. 1.2 update screenshots:

    P.S. Not sure if anyone got the 'bird' reference in the picture? It was a roadrunner in snow! Roadrunner = fast bird, snow = ice (cream sandwich). Fast ice cream sandwich ROM? Bad joke :p

    Thanks to evilisto and his mad modding skills
    Thanks to hitman980206 for noticing the DalvikVM hiccup!
