Yes, try OptiMax2 with sirkays kernel (im on vdsirotkin kernel, battery is more important to me)
Very fast (4300 antutu benchmark 1.4 ghz overclocked), very stable and stylish.

I need mine working 100% these days as I use it for work - I just went for stock .587, rooted and ripped all the bloatware out, and it's ready to go 100% stable. Not exactly adventurous... but it works really nicely.

Sure, latest stock is well polished and stable.
But Sony doesnt have reason to give us maximum in midrange phones (in their firmwares).
Developers have reasons to do that.
Thats why we have plenty of roms better than stock.

OptiMax is a good ICS rom. Its a fight between that and Jellysandwich
Jelly bean roms are pretty damn good too. Pacman(for a bit extra custom) or CM10

---

I would definently go with CM10.
After experiencing CM10, when you go on GB and ICS roms you will just feel like something is missing. I can't describe it but there's something.
And without doubt CM10 gives the smoothest and most user friendly experience.
Also to all you PAC fans out there, I did try all of the ROMs since v13 (inc. v17), but they are just never provided the same as CM10 did to me.
But choose for yourself if you have time. Try CM10, Forsaken's GB ROM, OptiMax, PAC, AOKP, JellySandwich, Ultimate HD (in that order)

Though PAC has CM10 built into it. But I am kinda with you on that one. It just doesn't seem as smooth as CM10 alone.

If you are a gamer (like me) I don't really recommend ICS or Jelly Bean Roms. There are many apps and games that are incompatible. I haven't tested a Jelly Bean rom but I think CM10 is under development, I already tried CM9 and I have to say the UI is very nice, but I had problems with many games and apps and I don't have this problem with CM7 (Gingerbread). So I think CM 7.2 is the best Rom right now, but that's my opinion, haven't tried other roms, only CyanogenMod, but is really good.

Why is everyone recommending CM10?
Maybe i am doing something wrong, but for me it is sluggish like hell 3 out of 10 times i am using my phone. Unlocking, using the launcher, using the settings...
It seems to stable, but that alone does not win the game.
Stable + snappy: nxt bread (odexed version) and fosakengb.
Both are stock based GB ROMs and i only miss some convenience functions, like accessing the notification bar from the lockscreen.
If you ever used an iPhone or Windows Phone, it seems GB is the way to go. ICS and JB ROMs are just not there, when it comes to user experience. But they are feature rich.

Re. ICS & JellyBean.. Well, the ROM I'm currently using is Iced Bean - I seriously disliked all ICS ROMS till I found this one! The most elegant, snappy and stable ICS ROM I've used so far!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911165
For Gingerbread I'd recommend JellyBread - hands-down my favourite GB ROM. Fast and pretty & lean and mean!

PS Both of these ROMS will also work on loocked bootloaders. :good:

Thanks Everyone!
So i think CM10 have more fans.
ok, I'll go for it. They're showing 2 days left for a new release, so i'll wait for it
And can anyone help me for a Question? On Cyanogenmod's website, I went to see the Project status and saw "ST18(i/a) - Ray - urushi - CM9 done / CM10 done"
Does that mean everything is working on CM10? everything?

---

definitely try P.A.C rom . For me the best JB ROM for RAY :good:

After trying several ICS roms I've gone back to GB. I found that the ray just doesn't have the specs to run ICS as it should be. For a simple fast GB rom I'd suggest trying 4pda.ru stock repack rom with Aires kernal. It's a no nonsense rom so you can add the mods yet want. And you get the stability of stock.

Try JB rom for RAY and you never gonna back to GB or ICS ...

I don't even get how people can recommend CM10 when P.A.C. is basically the same, but without all the "non-working" stuff. I usually love CM and nothing would have been possible on JB roms without them, but clearly at this point PAC is completely far ahead, meanwhile including all the CM engine and rom modifications as well as OAKP.

+1
but sometimes startup of for instance 'settings' takes a while...
i hope that improves in the future, and then it will be my perfect rom.
