I appreciate the insight. I think I'll switch over to CM7.2.0 this fine holiday weekend. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] LFSPovo:
You definately should! I personally think the stock Android ROM looks much better than SE's UI (e.g battery, wifi etc. icons on Notification bar) :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I'm on it now :) Just restoring apps & settings for the time being.

Is there any way to enable the Bravia Engine, Xperia Play Launcher & other SE apps? Is there a method for adding the required library files for these to work in CM?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
Nope :(

Unfortunately they just dont work...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Damn it... oh well, I'll gladly make due with 2.3.7.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
does anyone know lib for touchpad?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Any fixes regarding the CDMA camera issue?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
It's fixed with a .zip patch. Does it not work for you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Have a link? I'll test it tonight.

To FXP devs: would it be possible for the CDMA kernel patch/source to be released via github?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:

Has anyone else experience time and date issues with this build? My phone seems to forget it's time settings, by around 2 days and twelve hours occasionally. Changing automatic (network set) or manual does not seem to stop this happening.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Not once, no.

[Xperia Play Android Development] WayneT37:
I find it strange that the analog controls work 100% on my CM7 build for Shadowgun with no issues , but they wont work for any other games. either way great job on this ROM , The Day it gets full analog support will be a great day indeed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
I'm on FXP 052 cdma, and after changing lockscreen type and applying a theme, now when I unlock my phone, the screen backlight turns off after about 1/2 a second... I've tried changing the lockscreen settings to no avail, any ideas?

Edit: tried turning on the "screen on animation", no dice...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
that day is the day that I go back to CM7. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Droid117:
One quick question here:

Is the battery life on this rom better than that of the stock version?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Stappern:
Is this daily usable?

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Depends on your device.

CDMA version has no notable flaws,

Some games don't seem to work on GSM version.

[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Are you sure you haven't changed the time-out settings?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Time out settings were good, all I needed was a good old fashioned reboot :-P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
CDMA no noticable problems? Do your touchpads work on all games? ie FIFA, GTA, Dead Space, etc.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I dunno about those, but it works fine in Age of Zombies. I have to redownload star battalion to see if Gameloft works or not.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm on a clean install of 052 with the camera fix and the APN settings for MMS plugged in. I will report how it runs compared to 048

Is there a way to make Titanium Backup do a restore while moving the correct apps to the SD card? I would like to get away from restoring when I have to do it in chunks due to the memory constraints.

For some reason I am getting a lot of "App is not compatible with your device" in the Market from FPSE/Skyrim Alchemy/MD.emu and others now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Yep. Am using FXP043a with my Camera patch and the MMS fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Whoah, touchpads are fully working with 043a? If so, please upload the update.zip I would like to play GTA correctly asap.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Will upload once I get home. About 3 or 4 hours. You will need to re-apply MMS fix after the install.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Awesome, thank you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
For CDMA or GSM the 043a??

Would like to play GTA on CM7 too :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP054 released
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Just did a nandroid backup and applied this version over 052. Runs fine except camera is still broken on CDMA, have to use the camera patch.

FXP, can't that update patch be integrated into your releases from here on out so we can keep the camera/camcorder/torch working from release to release? Also since the touchpads are 100% functional in 043a how would we go about integrating those into current and future builds?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Sorry for the wait. Was working on my other ROM. You might have to adjust the DPI and such (I like it low.). Includes Center Clock Tweak ,Transparent Statusbar tweak, and ICS Ring Lock Mod. Here you go!
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Did touchpads work on the 043 GSM rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I gave yours a whirl last night, but it exhibits the same touchpad behavior as all other FXP builds above 40ish. It works for some games, but doesn't for most of them including GTA, where only the d-pad works.

One thing, how can I get that Lockscreen mod into my build?
[Xperia Play Android Development] illuminerdi:
Are the devs aware of the touchpad issue with certain games (GTA, Dead Space, etc)? I've never seen acknowledgement of the issue from FXP or CM7 devs, and its a pretty widespread issue. I suppose they might not have XPlays to test on, but this had been going on for months and is well known.

It may be some kind of quirk of those games, but there's no way we'd get EA or Rockstar to fix it so its up to the FXP/CM7 people to find a workaround. I'd be glad to help with this in any way I could (testing, etc)
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
They basically don't care check the invalid bugs in the bug tracker
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
FXP or anyone else what are the touchpad libs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Guys, i've got a few questions if i may:

- Why is everybody trying to disable Auto brightness?

- I see that video recording is working, is it HD?

- How's the batter life compared to stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
here is how to disable automatic light sensor:

echo '0' > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

u can use GScript save the above and then create shortcut on homescreen... or use an init.d scipt:

#!/system/bin/sh
# DooMLoRD: FIX: disable automatic light sensor
echo '0' > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

to re-enable just use:

echo '1' > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

this worked on the PLAY-ICS leaked rom but should work on all other roms too
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Are fxp not bothered with touchpads anymore?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Thanks, but i was asking WHY is everybody disabling it?

Does it drain the battery, or what?

Is the video recording HD?

How's the batter life compared to stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I like it disabled because it is too sensitive, imo. It's distracting to see the backlight fluctuate every time you shift the phone a couple inches.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Possibly silly question regarding the CDMA build and text messages.

We got MMS working by modifying the APN. However, I've noticed that SMS messages over 160 characters fail to send. This was under FXP 52, I think. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? It is a non-issue in 54?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Thanks for the answer NeoandGeo, i actually like it that way :D

My old SGS used to take 10 seconds to adjust...

Now, i've still got these questions:

-Is the video recording HD?

-How's the battery life compared to stock?

CM on SGS had terrible battery life...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
dont know abt video recording...

but we are currently working on some fixes to improve battery life
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I think it's an issue that has always been there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Doom, you're in on fxp, and you seem to be the only one who actively responds to our questions. I just wanna ask 2 Q's. How close to cm9 are you guys and are you going to sort out touchpads?
[Xperia Play Android Development] xrishox:
you can't put a timetable on stuff like this. even if he did give a timetable it very easily could be prevented by unknown bugs and other showstoppers. it'll be out when it's out.

and as for the second question, i'm sure they also would support touchpads if it were as easy as you're making it sound. it's not just a box you check to make it work.. they have to find a way to make them work. so everything will probably work eventually, but it won't likely be working at first.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
I understand the CM9 question is a bit iffy, but was just wondering as a general question, because in the last week we have gotten 2 ICS builds on XP.

And for the touchpads...I don't think that it can be just FIXED simply, but none of the developers or anything has posted any updates or anything on it at all...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
The developers are not doing anything wrong with the Touchpads. Its actually the developers of the game. FXP team use the touchpad settings which SE provide on there developers site to make applications so if games do not use touchpads in that way they are not supported with CM7 therefore not FXP teams fault.

As for the 2 ICS Releases well this shows that FXP would rather release a stable ROM and not buggy like we have with our version of ICS, Our ICS versions are not for everyday use unlike FXP which want to provide a ROM that can be for everyday use.
[Xperia Play Android Development] illuminerdi:
That's absurd though. The games work in a stock rom, so even if the game developers did something unusual or didn't use the SE libs for the pads, that's still a feature that is missing/bugged in FXP. Saying that it isn't a bug is erroneous - it is a feature that works in stock but not custom. We use roms like FXP to gain features, not lose them.

I understand that these things take time and I'm not faulting the FXP team - they may have issues they feel are more pressing, but I think we as a community have a right to express displeasure about this bug and a right to at least get a discussion about it going so that we can make progress on it or understand it.

The FXP team is not obligated to fix it, this *is* their rom, but I see no harm in asking why.
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
Has the battery drain issue been fixed in 54? It's totally useless without that fix. The drain is unbelievable on gsm play (52)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
They havent fixed it yet simply because they don't know how.

SE must have an alternative way in there ROMs to track touchpad movement which other game developers use.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
I'm on a R800i with CM7fxp54 and i`ve gotten to about 12 Hours of moderate usage with having about 70% juice left on my device. This beeing a huge Extendet battery.. so it`s about 30% on normal ones.

Does that suit your needs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] linkandzelda:
This ROM is awesome! I was looking for a long time to get a fast and stable custom ROM that works well with emulators. This one makes emulators run almost at full speed like they should be. Also the ROM is very fast I like it very much. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
I agree the touch pads are a key feature and should not be ignored.

I love cm7 but because of this touchpad issue I have to return to stock.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
So now they don't know how to "fix this bug" but before it wasn't a FXP bug it was the developers. Way to go back on your word.

I'm not having a go at FXP, their work is amazing, and I'm behind them all the way, all that I asked was if they were still looking at getting them fixed, then you stepped in...

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Also, looking at the responses around, it seems like that is the main reason that more people don't actually use CM7, like myself...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
its not a bug. anyhow why dont you try and do better.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
OK so if its not a bug what is it...a feature?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
My battery is chugging along fine here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
its a feature SE have on there ROMs which FXP doesnt know how to replicate just yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
ha, good response ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Whether you want to call it a 'missing feature' or a 'bug', it really would be nice to have an idea if it's going to be looked at, if they have any idea what the problem may be so others can investigate. It would save this thread having the same questions repeated anyway.

The Xperia Play is a gaming device. If we can't play some of the best games designed for the play, the Xperia play version of CM7 at the moment seems a little redundant. Which is a real shame, because apart from this it is fantastic in every way.

EDIT: I noticed 050 seemed better for battery life, 052 and 054 seem to drain more quickly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
My thoughts exactly
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Wow you may be the most ungrateful person on XDA :rolleyes: consider this, both EA and gameloft offer free games for the xperia play, right? Emulating Play touchpads is not hard right? So EA and Gameloft develop a way to track touchpad input that does not use the standard SE Unity Code, that way there "free" games cannot be ported to other devices using emulated SE touchpads. Did that ever cross your mind? That means touchpad support will only work on Sony Ericsson Roms, period.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trygon:
I'm mostly surprised at the dev attitude of 'Welp, they got us! Pack it up!'

Kind of flies in the face of this entire site, yeah? Of course, it's the devs call entirely, and I play Tiny Tower more then any other game anyway. I'll use FreeXperia until there's a functioning ICS build, and I thank them for their hard work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Guys, stop being rude. The touchpads don't work because FXP don't have the required files to make them work.

Either they wait for another "leak" or try and figure them out, themselves.

Either way, you ARE being ungrateful SoBs, even if DeanBoro didn't want to classify this as a missing feature or bug.

Just let them work on it, maybe they'll fix it eventually... I really doubt they're gonna stop trying to fix it... they've got Xperia Plays FFS, gaming is what this phone is made for. So they will keep trying!

P.S.: Less offtopic, more developing, please!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Least appreciative? LOL

I've said that FXP are amazing hundreds of times and that I appreciate their work and their efforts. My original Q was are they still looking into it, that's all, and you turned it into this...nonsical argument.

Anyways, back on topic
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Thats what im saying. Its really should not be so difficult for such geniuses (who surprisingly haven't fixed this yet) to understand that Cyanogenmod/FXP development has been brought to many Android phones, but this phone is not as easy being that it has the gamepad/touchpad & being the 1st of its kind. Its basically a hybrid. Nothing wrong with asking questions, but try being respectful to people that are trying to make your devices better ...or go buy a iPhone & cry to Apple customer support about development(or lack of).lmao. Apple sucks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
This was just a random thought I had:

Flash an xperia play back to stock, and find a game that utilizes the touchpads that works on stock, but not FXP(there's a list somewhere). run logcat and see what functions are called in-game to use the touchpads. Flash back to FXP and repeat.

I'm still nowhere near qualified to know if this is helpful at all, but I'm slowly getting there. For now, please excuse my ignorance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
one of the most useful posts from the past few pages
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
attached is a log from playing Asphalt 6 adrenaline HD on cm7. Throughout about 30 seconds of the race I constantly slid across the touchpads to see what would be generated in logcat, and the majority of what I got was:

Anyone else willing to do the same on stock? If not I'll do another log tomorrow. This may be fruitless, but at least it's something.

EDIT: log here: http://pastebin.com/uLLV2Ju1

Another EDIT: yes I just realized that this game doesn't support touchpads regardless of the rom(read: fail) I'll try again later today (12:50 AM here) with some known problematic games unless someone else does it first. The main point of what I'm doing is to try and generate discussion towards a solution, and not just discuss the problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I will try touchpads on stock with FIFA12 and 9MM, two games with conflicting touchpad support in CM, and I will bring a logcat this evening.

P.S: had no one seriously proposed to debug the thing with logcat before ?? I thought it was done already!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
most likely it has been. However, something may have been overlooked, and getting fresh eyes to look at this may help someone figure out how to get the touchpads working correctly.

EDIT: logcat has been mentioned multiple times in this thread. However, it has not specifically been mentioned to debug touchpad output.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
may be dmesg outputs will also help?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
umm..... asphault 6 does use the touchpads.

Fifa 12 and Battlefield log the input as it happens, the others don't. Gameloft seems to use a standard method (TouchpadAsPointer) for their games... and that's all I can understand. I hope it's useful!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
weird. The copy I have completely ignored them on stock, and froze up a lot on cm7. Thanks though

I just noticed that my ringtones and notification sounds aren't working. All other sounds work ok and when I pick ringtones then they play back fine. I've disabled quiet hours and cheeked settings. Anyone know what could be the problem? I'm running the latest release. Peeved off a I'm so happy with battery life and performance so far! Cm7 is now pretty much perfect.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PandaPropaganda:
I made a .zip of the latest update.zip (054) for r800x users that has the assert/getprop. lines removed from the update script to prevent Status 7 errors, and archived correctly so as to prevent the installation from becoming aborted. Just flash the latest kernel, and install this update and you wont be bugged by any errors! I noticed this problem was prevalent with r800x users...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Is there a way to make an update.zip that has the camera/apnMMS fixes integrated?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
Is this rom are odex or deodex?
