Root ICS ROMs for R800x

I finally decided to try out some ICS ROMs for my r800x after unlocking my bootloader a few months ago. I'm pretty impressed with what I've tried so far but they aren't without their (minor) issues. a couple of the roms, PlAyOSP and another that I can't remember the name of right now, has an issue playing bluetooth audio and with the CM9 RC2 that was just released, I can't get the wifi to work, didn't try the bluetooth audio, as soon as i found the wifi didn't work i switched back to PlAyOSP. Every ROM seems to have issues with the analog pads working correctly. So, I guess I should get to my question finally: Is anyone else using ICS ROMs for their R00x and are you having any of the same issues or is there a fix somewhere that I'm missing. I've tried researching as much as I could but the threads over at XDA are all over the place and I can't seem to find any useful information. I'm sure Paxchristos would have some answers for me but it seems like he's been MIA from this forum for a good while now. Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions!

I'd love to know the same. Working on unlocking my phone now.

wow. it's been a while since i posted this! Since then I've tried just about every ICS ROM for the Xperia Play. While there are still kinks to be worked out (mainly touchpad control issues) there are a few ROMS that are worth trying out. I would suggest the CM9.1 FreeXperia Project found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447542

for me, it's given me the least amount of issues and pretty much everything essential works (again, touch pads are still a bit of an issue). If you have any questions I will try to answer them the best I can.
