Just like the above poster said or if you want it the easy way, flash litening rom and your device will be instantly rooted, has the latest firmware and with some performance tweaks.

Close thread.
hey
im a new xperia play user and i got a few questions.
which rom for now is the best?
(please link me the instruction and rom file)
before im downloading a new rom to the device should i root it first?
my current spec:
model number R800i, android ver. 2.3.2
baseband 7x30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_14-10
KERNEL 2.6.32.9-PERF [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER 3.0.A.2.181
answer please?
The ROM scene seems slow and complicated at the moment for the XPlay. Different versions of the phone needing different ROM installations, Sony blocking this, that and the other. High chance to brick......
For this reason i went back to 2.3.3 (unrooted).
Apart from being able to overclock and get rid of a bit of bloatware, both of which are not really necessary, i don't see any reason just yet to install new ROMS (or even root for that matter).
I wont update to 2.3.4 until it becomes officially available either. (Few weeks yet i beleive).
I use the 4.0 firmware by flashing it using x10 flashtool in 2.91 beta
I use doomkernel aswell

You do realize it's incredibly hard too really brick this phone right... You can all ways use flashtool to get out of it. And step by step directions is hard? Not to mention various guides helping noobs thanks to fma.

well, do you realize that this is a topic of 1 year and half ago?

GB: NXT Lite
ICS: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS
JB: SlimBean for Xperia Play
NXT Lite is best for gaming. If you don't like stock SE UI, you can flash Gin2JellyBean theme.
There is no such thing.

How do you overclock! i'm at 1024
You need an unlocked bootloader and a kernel with O/C support

You cant use the latest update on your r800x, its for GSM phones
Yeah, shame on verizon. R8oox is locked amd abused by verizon
You can still unlock bootloader though

thanks for your reply .will it ever be overclock on R800x Root
Erm... of course you can unlock the Verizon bootloader. Here you have the reference thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201725
So we can't overclock without a unlocked bootloader?
I have a r800i on 2.3.3 but its simlocked so its just rooted at the moment :/

Maybe someone can make O/C module for stock kernel, Then all you need is root to push the module. Ask doomlord, blagus or binary. they may be able to help
Unlocking the bootloader really is the best thing I have done to my Play, it opens up soooo many new options, custom roms, kernals, overclock, recovery etc!
My Play is running at 1.5ghz, it is so fast now! I did have it running at 1.7ghz but didn't want to over do it!

Loading the CDMA CM7 will allow the R800x model to overclock, but you lose the xplay launcher and verizon market. It's still a little buggy atm as well.
Hey guys,
I have very recently become the owner of an Xperia Arc obtaining the device as a replacement through my o2 insurance policy for my previous HTC Desire which suffered liquid damage
At present I am relatively happy with my Arc stock however I would love to hear from other users who have flashed roms on their Arc and hear if it is really all that beneficial.
With my old Desire it was a must thing to root it etc because I was stuck running only Froyo and suffered from low internal memory storage.
I look forward to hearing some feedback from you other Arc owners out there!
Regards, DJM.

Hi,
welcome to the club
For me, I really like SE UI, and it looks very stylish, at least for me.
I got only root,and I don't want to unlock BL since it's not needed for me. Now waiting for OTA, to still remain rooted.
And keep it updated new firmware rolled out

Thanks mate
Yeah I love the SE UI, I don't have a lot of interest in flashing MIUI. Tried it before on my HTC Desire and it just wasn't for me! If I was to unlock my bootloader it would be to flash tweaked roms which are SE based.
What do you get out of rooting the Arc? The usual overclocking etc?
No chance to overclock as kernel doesnt support it. just underclock and change governors. I am also just rooted with a locked bootloader. However im waiting to receive the new firmware update as I am o2 uk firmware. I am wary of unlocking the bootloader as of the 0% battery issue which has scared me to be honest

What are your talking about?
He needs to unlock the bl and then he can flash kernels with oc up to 2GHz.

I'm with o2 UK also! I feel the same way as you, the 0% battery issue has scared me as well.
What benefits has rooting your device given you?
I assume you are referring to the 2.3.4 firmware update? I'm really excited at the prospect of getting Ice Cream Sandwich which has been announced to be coming to the Arc

I am also still running the .369 firmware, looking forward to getting the new version!
I rooted my Arc last night and removed the bloatware apps, noticed a small difference in performance but nothing major which I'm sure is expected.
P.S. I totally stole your signature's Xperia Arc image and used it in mine to replace my old HTC Desire one
**Edit** 2.3.4 just became available to me via Companion! (4.0.2.A.042)
Presume you rooted using the new zurg method?.. if you want to over clock at any point then you will need to unlock the Bootloader to do it.. the 0% battery issue only came about through people trying to flash old SE ROMs, root with gingerbreak, then OTA upgrade to the latest version...
NOTHING to do with bootloader unlocking.. and actually not a problem now that we have the new Zergrush root method. HERE

Thank You.
No, dude it is outdated. We need to upgrade our kernel for better performance. But this will be helpful for those who can't open their bootloaders so yeah useful for some people.
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!! My frenz need it cause his hardware is 11w51, criticaly dangerous to unlock.

yes plss
I tried to unlock my bootloader once and it just end with a hardbrick and it takes 1month for the se service center to repair my unit
reason
Reason is simple. I had a simlock. For now there is no safe way to unlock bootloader and the simlock NOT to come back.
Cheers,
yea i want it on stock kernel i have unlocked my bootloader but i want it for those who cant its the best rom ever and i want it for my other brothers as well
I want more ROMs on stock kernel.
11w48 I bought my x8 almost 2 months ago and the first thing I tried was to update it. Then I realised that my phone will never get past 2.1 ,so I read that I can manually install 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. And a week later my phone was running gingerdx. But I wanted something more, I wanted a custom kernel and I was very disappointed to read that I can't unlock my bootloader. I check the development section about 10 times a day and Im very happy when I see a new ROM or a ROM that gets updated. But most of them are for alfs or nAa and I feel like noone cares about the people who can't unlock their bootloaders. I voted YES. Thank you.
I guess the development of this rom will released till xmas if we wait the 100voters because not all is participate...
As of now 42 have voted with 31 for and 11 against. Guys please don't vote against there are lot of your brothers who can't unlock their bootloader..please please vote infavour.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
YES please
Well as said before, many of us cant unlock bootloader and there are few roms to pick from that are updated for us. I would really like to try this ROM. And would like to see other ROMs updated as well. We all want the same thing. A smooth, good looking rom that is up to date with the best modules, speed mods, and completely works. I have found a couple. but most you gotta enable, and update modules. Some dont even have any modules, so you got to use root explorer to install them yourself. Thank You for asking this question. Hopefully it will get more attention to itself and other roms that wed like to see on stock kernel. Oh and a bunch of yes votes.
Yes we need more Rom's for stock kernel as I don't want to unlock bootloader. My x8 11w01 so should be fine to unlock. I hope for ics on stock kernel but this is not looking promising.
