What tweaks are there out there for the Arc?
1. I know you can overclock the CPU
2. There is some cm7 tweaks in freexperia, can you use thoose hacks on rooted stock?
3. On some rom there is tweaked sqllite tricks, oc gpu etc, any use for thoose in the Arc?
4. I've searched but cant find, anyone with some advice?
This is, more or less, the same hardware as Desire HD, why so few tricks (or me not able to find anyone...)?
Thanks!

Before I state my point, I just need to clarify that I have been on various Froyo/Gingerbread ROMs.
Anyway, I have reviewed many Androids before, including the SE Xperia X10 mini, X8, Samsung Galaxy 5, Samsung Galaxy Mini.
What I have come to realize is that my Wildfire is incomparable to ANY of these old models. No matter what I do, install OpenFire fresh/CM7 fresh, overclock, uninstall & wipe stock apps... the phone is NEVER as fast as ANY of the phones mentioned above.
Is there any way to alleviate this, or is it that the 528MHz processor is the weak link in this phone?
Would really love input from fellow forumers. Thanks.
Wildfire has an older CPU architecture and an older non-gpu chipset, both of which are important factors for the performance.
And we cannot do anything other than overclocking to max (which also don't make it fast enough). Wildfire is already outdated.

I do know that. Thanks for the input btw. IMHO when overclocked, all it does is boost performance unnecessarily. I see little to no change in speed, sometimes even smoother when I reduce the clock speed.
I guess this just calls for a new phone soon.
What did i do to make it faster..
Back to android 2.1 stock rom (extracted rom.zip from 2.1 wwe ruu, installed with pc49img.zip)
Root the rom with superoneclick
Fastboot flashed cwm 2.5.0.7 recovery
Flashed nfinity mc4 kernel
Overclocked 480 - 710 mhz @ smartass governor
Its very fast and snappy, try it, i wont be changing roms for a long time, if we dont get ice cream sandwich when its out, ill never change it.

Is anyone familiar with Milestone Overclock? Its an app used to fool the last slot of most Ti-Omap kernels.
I used it on my droid 2 global to o/c to 1385mhz.
I wonder if its possible to create a similar app to do that same things to Xperia play? You didnt need a custom kernel all you had to do was set your last slot o/c speed and your voltage of choice and click apply. The app worked great.
Any ideas on how we can create this for our xperia plays?
Heres a link to the Milestone Overclock site for more info on how it works...

What is the best rom/firmware for gaming ?
In the ICS roms its reboot a loot.

Stock gingerbread with DooMKerneL. Remove bloatware apps and stop excess services. Can't get a better gaming experience than that (though some say V6 supercharger helps)
Can someone give me the links ?
What gingerbread ?
Sent from my R800i
Stock is defintely what you want for gaming alright. I'd go with a stock based ROM so that most of the bloat is removed for you and not weighing down your device.
Something like JokaWild.
EDIT: by the sounds of it, you are going to have to do some research. Start by looking into flashtool.
Just noticed my above comment may have sounded condescending. It wasn't meant to be. Since you have flashed ICS successfully, I imagine you know how to flash a stock ROM.
From my experience Jokawild was the best gingerbread rom for gaming

What about for a R800x?
I have tried several different ROMS and not that these other ROMs are not awesome in their own right. But I always come back to my nandroid of stock Android 2.3.3
I rooted, then deleted all bloat in the system folder, and all the other apps that can be reinstalled to SDcard, map, talk, gmail, etc. I have around 180mb of free space according to my system/apps folder. I then used V6 Supercharger and set everything to aggressive with Nitro Lag. Now my phone is super speedy. I have no lag anywhere, all games play buttery smooth including GL games. I also am using DoomKernel by DoomLord and No Frills set to Performance, CFQ at 1.2ghz (dont like to OC too much just a tiny little bump)
And I also have a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB HC-I MicroSD card. Was using a class 4 sandisk proir an this card was on sale on a camera site for $30, figured why not and got it, saw a difference with GL games as well, before they were smooth with an occasional slight stutter but now its all good.
Just found it, its $3 more then what I paid but still a great price and this card is awesome.

^This.
So, I'm using an ICS rom with the new Adreno drivers, and I get better performance on Fifa 12 then I got with Gingerbread. Is there a way to install the new Adreno drivers on Gingerbread?
I have tried most to all the roms as well and I will say I got the best gaming performance with the stock 2.3.3 rom (bloatware free) with doom's kernel. This had not only the best performance but also worked with most to all games.
I would of put 2.3.4 but gmail and google voice still wont auto sync. Once verizon decides to wake up then jump to 2.3.4. Hope this helps.
You will need to use flash tool (thread) to do all your kernel and FTF flashing.
Flash this: 2.3.3 FTF
Flash this: DoomKernel + Wifi modules (thread)
Boot up like normal and go through the setup. After that install titanium backup and start ripping out all that Verizon junk.
Install SetCPU and find your overclock sweet spot. Dont forget to set a profile to underclock you phone for when your batteries low. (I found that smartassV2 scaling gave me the best performance/battery life with a 1.6 Ghz overclock.)
This is for a r800x (Verizon)
That's pretty much what I did. I have the stock overclocked kernel, which isn't overclocked, but SetCPU is set to overclock to 1.6Ghz when any of my games are running.
Thread Closed, Thank You.
How can I overclock my Sony Xperia Z1? And how much speed can be achieved with overclocking, actually to which clock can it go so it can work normally?

you will need to unlock bootloader>instal new karnel that support over clocking> then overclock your phone
This is as easy as possible but in reality this is so hard, actually I am not sure if there is any karnel that support overclocking. Why do you need to overclock your Z1, you won't notice much performance boost, but you will drain your battery alot faster, most people underclock their Z1 to get better battery life

Hi,
recently i came back to my xperia play, and changed my HyperGamer rom to Aurora 2.0.0 with Lupus v12.
In antutu benchmark, i'm achievienig almost 6000 points, but i saw people who had "over 9000!!".
I flashed adreno booster and overclocked it to 1,6 Ghz.
Also, application often close, and a lot of things work unstable, even without OC.
I'm not sure if i have right firmware, but i don't know how to chack it, and if i can flash it safely now.
Also, i wanted to try doomkernel 14, but i can't find it anywhere. Maybe someone knew where to download it?
Thanks for help
doom kernel 14 can be found here (at least now):
DooMKernel v14 (420/380* - stock):

For what rom this kernel is good? And what kernel is better for performance Lupus or Doom? And what is best rom for gaming on JB/KK
Im using Doomkernel with stock rom overclocked to 1.6ghz. For me this has been the best combination with regard to stability and compatibility. I tried many roms and the phone became unusable at times. Adreno gave too many glitches for me. Some games were missing textures etc.
As for the 9000, I only managed that when overclocked to 2.3ghz. Most people only achieve 6-7000 on normal overclocks. Hope that helps.
I'm using doomkernel too, but mine runs on 1,9 Ghz. What's funny, it started working stable after some time. I had to reboot phone few times when i was messing with clock and governors, but know it work perfect.
If 6-7k is normal, that's great.
I recently bought an xperia play only for gaming. Auroraplay and doomkernel: 1,8Ghz and airplane mode (no GAPPS, no WIFI, nothing) and it is incredible! n64oid Mario kart, Mario 64, starfox absolutely smooth!
yes but on GB you can´t install retroarch, wich is the only emulator i would wanna use, instead of having 8 emulator apps...
Yeah, i think i will go for HyperGamer rom, with retroarch, but i will try removing as much things as possible. And maybe screen mirroring will work, which would be awesome!!!
ok so i tried some retroarch version on the auroraplay rom, so far the 9.9.6 has basically all the cores you need and the pad mapped right away without need of configuration( you can find it in aptoide). from that version on the gamepad maping is broken and needs some serious configuration, it's a pity cause the 1.5 version has just been released and it look beautiful with xmb interface artbox support and al the fancy stuff...imma head over to the retroarch support forum and ask why from 1.2 on the xplay gets broken controls
