What's the best custom rom for Sony Xperia arc S? I am using Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC2 actually, and I'm glad, but I would like to try something based on ICS. I have already tested Cyanogenmod 9, but it's very unstable and after few days for example Wi-Fi refused to get a dynamic adress. Could you suggest me some roms based on ICS? I want the rom to be fast, smooth and with overclock possibility. I have been using BoostHD rom for about 2 hours, but it didn't satisfy me.
There are no best rom. There are some ICS-themed roms avaidable, try one of those. On the page of the developer can you read the bugs. Try some roms in your phone's forum. But real ICS rom's are mostly not stable yet

sony has released the official ics for xperia s now, no custom roms are very stable yet, still to many bugs
I'm not gonna come back to the stock rom, because it's laggy and it simply sucks. So... Could you suggest me a ICS theme for Cyanogenmod? The one from Google Play developed by Sonny Sekhon isn't compatible with arc S.

I dont want to be mean but.. Have you watched the Noob on xda video when you registered? Because the guy there says that there are no best roms.This forum is about testing new things and finding out which one is the best for you.
According to him , you are lazy.
Cheers.
I am not damned lazy. I have already tried a lot of custom roms on arc S, but I don't know if there is a stable ics one. I just wanted to know your opinion. It thought you would suggest me something, but as I see there are on this forum buffoons only. You are a good example of such people.

I just guess you haven't used JJ's hyrid rom. Its is more than stable. everything is working, smooth, stable and based on ICS(ASOP). GREAT ROM I RECOMMEND

I've used that, but it's laggy.
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.
REASONS TO CONSIDER CYANOGENMOD ON XPERIA TIPO
NB: I AM WRITING THIS IN ORDER TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT USING A CUSTOM ROM FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Well, it has been a few weeks I have played with 3 most promising ROMs for Tipo - Cyanogenmod, AOKP& Z-Fusion.
All of them were better than the stock ROM provided by Sony. Out of the 3, CM was was the most stable(atleast for my phone).
AOKP offered more control over the ROM but it froze more often in tipo. Z-Fusion was visually good(very good job done with the interface) but it lacked some controls offered by CM.
Now one can ask, why CM? Whats wrong with the beautiful firmware by Sony?
Well, there is nothing wrong with the official firmware but it is a heavy burden on the memory. The UI is eye-catching but it takes a lot of memory for the tiniest details, whereas CM has a simple and neat UI( the Trebuchet Launcher, gotta love it!!!) which is very lightweight and fast and responsive. The control over the behaviour of the ROM is what appeals the most. Starting from the lockscreen to its CPU, everything under your control. Lots of customization option available for the user.
The best thing about Cyanogenmod is that the in built apps are very memory friendly. In tipo, after a fresh and clean installation you get about 600 mb of phone memory. The original firmware of a new phone offers 450-500 mb of phone memory( it depends on region, 450-500 in my region). So those who are fanatic about their phone memory should try out CM as it is the most stable out there for tipo.
Hope this is useful to some extent.
I'm currently using CM10 (FXP212) and it is running very smooth.
I want to make a few comments to this:
- custom ROMs are overall a little bit less stable, especially if they're still in development phase, which all of Tipo's custom ROMs are. Although CM is quite stable since the few last updates.
- Z-Fusion is still based on an older CM10 build. That's where the partial lesser features come from. There have been some updates in the CM10 project since Z-Fusion released.
- AOKP is FAR from done.
Honestly in my opinion you should also cover some the downsides of Custom ROMs when you post something like this, because it isn't really objective like this.
I do agree CM10 FXP project is a wonderful project, but it was also the first so it had more time to advance and evolve into a great ROM. Give the other ROMs a chance.
Also, are you planning to add more ROMs to your review?
Regards, Drago
I really appreciate your opinions
This post was meant for upsides of the ROMs. However, I will make another post to point out the demerits.
Thanks for encouraging me. :thumbup:

thank you and i saw Cyanogenmod work more fluently than stock rom and i'm thinking install Cyanogenmod in my tipo and install a custom rom have compatibility with locked bootloader xD
I'm thinking to install CM10 on my Tipo, but still have my doubts, because I can't find any info about the pro's on the net.
Is it really really faster then the stock ?
At this point, my phone is really laggy at some point (stock). Even, when all the unneeded apps are deleted.
When I type a message, my phone laggs almost everytime.
That's why I was looking at the freexperia project, but yeah, warranty void :/
That's a big downside for me...

If you are looking for laggless rom stay away from fxp, at least for now because stock i much faster than cm for this day (fxp214).
I recommend you to use gimlo rom with pimp my rom tweak (aroma version) it makes tipo much faster.
To tell the diffrence here are quadrant benchmark results i got:
Fxp 214 ~1000pts
Gimlo 0.3 ~1500pts
Gimlo 0.3 + Pimp my rom ~1700pts
Try FXP221. U will find how great fxp rom now

How is FXP_222_tapioca_ss?
I didnt update from 221
Read the FXP thread, I have heard that the new versions are having some screen bugs and headphone bugs.
As of 221, its very stable. Just one bug i.e. Loudspeaker for calls is not working.

Going to try it. But just tell me this - I have made a nandroid backup. After I install cm10 and I don't like it. Can I restore fully using the nandroid backup?

I dont know if the nandroid will work to go back to stock rom
Do some research, I am sure someone can help you

Cwm is returning Everything, as I try it, you can go back from CM 10 to ICS but I'm on CM10 right now and I'm using it as daly drive. Loudspeaker is fixed and I think the headphones but that I didn't check.

Hello people
My sister is considering flashind custom rom on her SGS Advance. And because I'm not familiar with Samsung devices (I have two Sony :>)
I would like to ask you to help me chose the most stable and fully functional custom ROM.
At the moment she has stock JB installed but it has some freezes and doesn't run very well.
What can you recommend? It doesn't have to be the nevest android.
I think I would chose between SkimKat 4.4, CyanogenMod 11 by Team Canjica and VanirAOSP 4.4.4. I know those are very good custom roms.
Can you tell me if there are any issues with those? like reboots, not working features?
If you say custom ROMs, there is no ROM which is bug free but there are stable ROMs.
Stability depends on how and what you use. All 4.4 ROMs have reached to a state where you can use them for daily use.
I am Using CM11 nightly 20140614 and dont have any problems.
All the ROMs have their dev and Q/A threads, you can check them for the most stable builds and the working/non working functionality.
Try the latest vanir aosp its fast, fluid and stable...
For me its the most stable rom yet
Well SlimKat seems to be bugless.
VanirAOSP has some bugs with SystemUI
Go for the slimkat(final). It's the smoothest, fastest rom for our phone.

Test all roms to see which rom fit for you
CM 10.1
Wysłane z WOO-Phablecika 4.2.2...
Vanir is the best!
AOKP 4.2.2 by PV after uninstalling and reinstalling calendar is stable.
Wysłane z AOKP-fonika 4.2.2...
I'd have to go with Vanir. Everything just works and lag is virtually non-existent. The only downside I can see is slightly shorter battery life (could be just my phone though). One advantage that i love is it has it's own updater so it's not much of a hassle to get the latest fixes and improvements!
Another option for her would be to stay with stock JB bit change her kernel to CoCore.

More performance = more battery drain.
@lozohcum : How old is she? She want a girl theme too?
After testing almost every ROM, i think that CM10.1 is the most stable(with good battery backup)...
Liquid smooth 3.2 smooth as liquid with all customizations
just battery backup is 15 to 17 hr is matter

Yeah, you should try this. Cm 10.1 is awesome!
I think u can choose between VanirAOSP or AOSP from j.team.. The last one is disscontinued but its 90% finished and 100% stable.
U can choose one of them, or, simpli, test both because testing is the only (exactly) way to know if ROM is for you (or sister).
See all!
Hello fellow OnePlus owners. Currently running CM12 ROM on this beast. Does anyone have preference or better yet what Lollipop ROM has wakelock/Wi-Fi battery fixed? If you know please share..

I have tried several of the latest LP5 ROMs... and the best 2 (IMHO) are Euphoria (by the same team that created Mahdi-ROM) and LiquidSmooth. Both are AOSP based with CM features added. They seem to run better than straight CM12 based ROMs. Things are still early, but if you can live without some features, LP is great.

Flashed euphoria yesterday and I can confirm its working smooth except calling audio issue when using earphones, but I have that issue with all the lollipop Roms.

Hi there,
Just came back to xda after a long time from custom roms but now finally I have the time to play with it again
I wanted to know if there is a stable custom rom out there for the Z5.. I dont mind if its AOSP or from Sony..
Looking forward to hear from you all
Regards
So there are SONY ROMs. The most stable would probably be:
- Slim Stock
- Xperia X
The most feature-packed would definitely be MoonWalker Amaluna (even if still in beta.)
And then you have AOSP (which i use, because the camera actually works now.). The most stable is:
- OmniROM
- CM or AOSPA
The ROM with the most features is CM, yet the camera does not work there yet. 2nd place would be AOSPA (My daily driver.).
I hope i helped.

My rom isn't beta anymore only the full rom you need to flash and then v1.6.0
I appreciate the dev work on Z5, already so many custom roms coming out
so AOSP SABERMOD? is it good for a daily driver? does that mean the camera and video recording is working?

I haven't tested AOSP Sabermod..yet. I am on AOSPA, and the camera is working. The only thing that isn't is video (You can find the bugs i found in the AOSPA thread). If you want video working, i'd go for one of the above mentioned SONY-Based Custom ROMs. Like MWA Amaluna or Xperia X ROM.
