Everything seems to be working fine for me.

What I did first was boot off the recovery image here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130639

Then I used Mill's nandroid to back up my phone.

Then I flashed the boot.img from chevy's upload.

I am having one weird problem. It seems I cant get widgets to stay on my screen. I added the widgets and rebooted and it say's they cant be loaded. Then I go to the menu to readd them and they are missing. I reinstall the app and the option to add the widget comes back, but only for a short time then they quit working again and I cant add them back. The background image also changed itself back to the default image from the cm7 mod, without me even rebooting.

I did remove ADW and add Launcher Pro if that matters.

I also moved the apps to the SD card.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
i did the same thing but i flashed chevy's boot.img THEN used mills nandroid backup. should i redo the whole thing by flashing stock kernel then following your steps?
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
I have not been able to find the Logitech Harmony app that I use with my Revue. I think it might be related to having gingerbread compared to my charge running Froyo. It does state that it's compatible with android 1.5 and up so I am assuming it would show up. I found it at the android market website so it is there but will not show up on the market on my Play.

edit:

Well I just found a google remote app that has better reviews then logitechs, so I will try that when I get off work.

Also, I have not had any touch screeen issues either. It's weird that some are and some aren't.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Do you think it could be a DPI issue? Maybe an app that can modify that can help?

Moving apps that widgets rely on will cause issues when rebooting, and with them updating.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
I used the same procedure for 2 phones, and both phones seem to be working fine, aside from my widget problem.

I had thought moving the apps to the SD card could be the problem, but I had the same apps on the SD card with the stock rom. Also I did the same thing to my roommates phone, and he moved all his apps to the SD card with Titanium like I did except his are still working and mine are not. He is also using Launcher Pro.

For reference on the 2 phones before using the steps I mentioned before:

On my phone

I unlocked the bootloader

Flashed Binary's system.img from the "how to root" thread

Flashed back the stock rom

Flashed DoomLord's kernal to obtained root

Flashed back the stock kernal

Then the steps I previously mentioned

On my roommates phone

I unlocked the bootloader

Flashed DoomLord's kernal to obtain root

Flashed back the stock kernal

Then the steps I previously mentioned

I also turned my phone on and then back off before flashing the kernal in Chevy's upload, where on my roommate's phone I flashed the kernal immediatly after Mill's nandroid backup.

*I also wanted to add that on both of our touching the touchpads is like touching the screen. Also my friend put Asphalt 6 back on his phone to test if the touchpads still work in games, and it force closes everytime he presses a button or the screen. It does not force close untill he does. I wanted add this in case there is an input problem with the rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Is it only me with the non-working phone network?
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
Logseman do you have a cdma or a gsm phone? i think the data works on cdma but not gsm.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
The changes by Chevy is what I believe fixes the phone network. I have 3g wifi and phone capabilities working on 2 phones.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
i can conform 100% that data works on cdma. don't know about gsm though.

on a side note: does anyone know how to fix the touch pads? because according to the op, they work in the gsm version. or can anyone provide a tutorial on how to fix them?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I have a GSM phone. And it's not just data, it's just the whole phone network. Any call I try, it just tells me that there's no network.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
If you used Mill's or Chevy's uploads those were modified to work with CDMA phones. You want to download the files in the original post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Were you having that issue on any of the previous FreeXperia builds or is this something new from FXP023?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
When I tested my GSM Xperia with CM7, I had calling/text but no data.

Anyone with GSM Xperia got data?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
so does anyone know how i can fix the touchpads?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
What's wrong with them? I can't test them with any games, but they seem to erratically control the homescreen moving when I have the pad slid open.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
CDMA progress

thanks to chevyowner we have identified the missing share library

tomorrow we will release new rom (untested as we dont have cdma play) that is possible to fix network signal

[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Nice!

Jerpelea, do you know why the touchscreen is not registering touches over 460x800 in Chevy's modified zip for a couple of us? I noticed you mentioned it was a bug in an older GSM release.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
I seemed to have fixed my widget problems.

Has anyone tried to restore the xperia play launcher? When I try with Titanium Backup it just says restoring untill I reboot.

I was going to try and put it back manually, but I dont know the system name of the app.

I seem to have no touchscreen problems. Are you sure its the rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
the version i modded was FXP021b (newest cdma i found) if it was fixed after that, that is why
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Is it going to be just a fix for CDMA phones or will it also bring data back to GSM play owners as well?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
What was the missing library, out of curiosity? Or which one do you think was the culprit?
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Just tried playing Nova 2 and the analog controls or touch pads what ever you want to call them do not respond at all.. They do respond somewhat on the home screen but erratically.

edit:

Thats weird, while in the game menu ,selections will move around if you move your finger in a circular pattern but there is really no rhyme or reason to it, it just does it, but during game play they do not work at all.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
the driver has to be patched

for now we are working on cdma signal and datd

any idea about porting xloud to cdma i found a file called libxloudwrapper.so in system\lib\soundfx directory of the uk firmware found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221105 any idea of how to utilize it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
My phone boots up with this rom, but I cannot now flash back to a stock rom via Flashtool. Flashtool fails saying 'turn on unknown sources and debugging' which are already on. Any idea why and how I can return to stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
why are you using flashtool, it doesn't even have drivers for the xperia play (yes even though frasertag linked to it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 ) and if you would have read the important things you would have noticed this

Warning about 0.3.0.0 version :

Only X10 is fully recognized in this version.

in BRIGHT RED text, that is probably why it doesn't work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
*facepalm*

This could carry the award for most unhelpful comment of the day. And this is the reason that American CDMA users have a bad rap.

neil, you didn't happen to flash the r800x build did you? I know that flashtool should work fine with any of the GSM play's but we have had a lot of issues wit hthe r800x's build prop and it upsetting flashtool.

Whatever you do, you should be able to get back to stock using fastboot or something similar if youre in need. Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed CM7?
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Well I used a different version of Flashtool, there are three on the page, and it worked as I flashed the recommended stock rom on to my Play as advised in the initial posts. Is there some other tool for flashing roms?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
If this project is meant to be included as part of Cyanogenmod, they will not accept proprietary binary libraries to be included as part of it, as far as I know, so it would be useless anyways.
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
I'm afraid I haven't made a nandroid backup.

The only stock roms I have flashed today are:

Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf

R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf

Would the first be an r800x rom?

How can I return to stock from this point?

Thanks for you help!
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
yes there is, you need fastboot (don't ask me where to get it because it's been on my computer for about a year) but it shouldn't be that hard to find. the only thing to mention is that it's all through the command line (but it's really not that hard with a step by step tutorial) can't remember where i found that either. sorry i couldn't help more but i got to get back to work cuz my boss is doing his rounds.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Go grab Frasers ROM from here and try to flash it. Make sure to get your kernel back to stock. If you open that generic UK ftf you have with winzip or 7z, you will find a kernel.sin file inside it. Flash the kernel.sin file with fastboot (which you can obtain from HTC's website by googleing).

Get into fastboot mode by turning your phone off. then plug in a USB line while holding search.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.sin

Then use fastboot again to flash frasers rom.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash system system.img

(Those file names might be wrong btw, check them first)

If those things go down, then try using flashtool again. Or while you were in there grabbing the kernel.sin file, you can also try to extract the system file and flash it similarly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Flashing the boot with kernel.sin works flawlessly. When I try to flash system with system.img (From Fraser's rom) or system.sin (from Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf) its says it's 'sending' but nothing seems to happen. How long should this take?
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
Whats stopping the xperia play launcher from working. I tried installing it and it wont, and I also noticed it is already in the system folder of the phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ellises:
I have been using Mills0013's nandroid backup of chevyowner's fix of the cdma rom.

kept having checksum errors when using clockworkmod to restore so I used fastboot to restore the partition images (except for cache and secure.)

So far the rom has been working awesome, phone calls work, 3g works. I used titanium backup to restore crash and some other games... and as what other posters said, the analog sticks don't work, the libraries need ported. this includes games like crash bandicoot or minecraft.

also a note with the touchscreen issue, this happens randomly, another note with that, I had the same touchscreen issues with the stock rom.

another note with that, I also own the g1, g2, and nexus one phones... when the nexus one first came out, it had major issues with the touch screen not working all the time, but after several updates came out, that problem got fixed over time.

The market gave me a few force closes when I first started up the rom, but works fine after a reboot.

and the carrier label says "T-CDMA 64" instead of Verizon. When looking around at the "Wireless & networks" settings, there doesn't seem to be a way to access the APNs.

But I have been using this rom as a daily now, it works great besides the very minor controller bugs. Doesn't effect me for emulators :D.

Just tested netflix and netflix works good. I haven't got out to testing out tethering yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
What is your source for Netflix? It's not showing up in the market for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ellises:
yeah it isn't in the market, I'm using the apk backup from my g2's market. I'm using version 1.2.2 which I guess is outdated now.

Well I got one bug to add now, listening to TuneIn radio, all of sudden the music stopped playing and all system sounds don't play, everything is giving me "Internal decoder error". only way to fix this issue is a reset. I don't know if this is rom specific since I've had this issue on other devices.
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
anyone know of a nandroid for gsm that can be downloaded?

I'm still unable to flash back to stock from CM7.

Attempting to 'fastboot flash system system.img' just times out. I can erase 'system' via fastboot, no bad blocks reported. But cannot flash anything back!

Help! :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
new CDMA version uploaded

please test and report
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Flashed. Flashed over previous hacked up version that was running. Definitely some changes made (reset some personalization and erased gapps, so I'm sure the flash was successful. It looks like the phone is definitely not crashing. Everything appears to be in order at first glance. Will continue to investigate over the course of the night.

Edit: After reflashing Gaaps, things seem mostly back to normal. Rom feels very responsive. Much quicker than the build 021. Market force closed one time and refused to install apps at the beginning but all seems well now.

Also, I dont know if its any different or not, but i did flash the boot that was included with the current download. The MD5's are different from the last kernels so I decided it would be in the best interest to do it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silvist:
Heyo everyone,

Nice work jerpelea! Soon as I get my bootloader unlocked I'll flash the CDMA stuff over and check it out. Can't wait to start themeing this baby! ;D

[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
If anyone is flashing their phone (GSM) and would do me the favor of making a nandroid backup of it after flashing, that would be amazing!

It may be my last chance getting my Play working again.

I can flash the kernel to the boot partition via fastboot, but the system partition won't flash by the same method, it times out.

Flashtool fails to flash a stock rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
flash boot.img from gsm post

then type fastboot.exe reboot

phone will reboot an you can see freexperia logo

press volume up/down several times untill you see recovery menu

conect phone to usb and

adb push update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaPlay-R800i-KANG-signed.zip /sdcard

adb push gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip /sdcard

from recovery menu update your device

wipe data and cache

reboot
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
I can get into the recovery menu ok and these files are already on the SD card. The update fails now I'm guessing because I have formatted the system partition whilst trying different ways of flashing a system.img file to it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
the camera takes pictures pretty good but when playing back video that I recorded with new update the video will stop in the middle of playing the clip but the sound continues.

edit:

The video plays back at like two times the speed but the sound plays normally. A 10 second video will finish in like 5 seconds, but the sound will play the full 10 seconds at normal speeds, I have recorded 3 different videos and each one has the same result.

Edit:

For any one that wants to overclock it seems to be overclocked by default, so no need to install and app like setcpu or no frills unless you want to have more settings. I myself am happy with it the was it is after flashing so that's one less app I have to install.

Does fxp022 fix touchpads?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
After trying jerpeleas complete test I cannot find a data network. When flashing his update over chevys without wiping cache/factory reset, I can do everything but send mms it seems.

Also the screen issue is still present for me no matter what I did.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Not yet, I don't think that is on their list of priorities at the moment. They are trying to get the system to fully functional so that it can be a daily rom first. That will come in time so be patient.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
I just realized that I have no data as well, I was using wifi so I did not notice. I am going back to chevy's modded zip until this is fixed as 3g is a necessity with the amount of driving I do for work.

edit:

well I have tried a few things like switching back and forth from airplane mode and changing networks from home only and automatic and nothing works to get 3g working

edit:

After flashing back to chevy's modded zip I now have 3g back. I did not re-flash the boot.img that was included in his mod just the zip and 3g is back now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
is enough to set you apn instead of flashing that
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
I assuming I would do that through the service menu that you access through the dialer correct? Because i do not see a way to set it in the system settings menu, that I can see anyways..does anyone know what the number is to access the service menu I know it starts with## or something like that but I do not know the rest.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
can you try this cdma patch?
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Let me flash back to jerplea's zip and then I will try your patch. Will let you know in a few if it works.

Edit:

Yes sir that did the trick, 3g data is now enabled...Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I did more appropriate testing this morning:

Cleared cache/data/dalvik and reflashed 022. Cleared again for good measure.

I do have data right out of the gate. I have not needed to use the patch that chevy provided. I have made phone calls and the data is still working when I return. I am not using wifi.

I can confirm that video playback is playing back WAY to fast but cameras do all work without any other noticeable glitches.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
That's weird becuase I did clear data, cache and dalvik as my last try before going back to chevy's and it did not work for me. Although I am back on jerplea's zip using chevy's patch and now my data is working.

and yes video is jacked up, but at least the camera works, I rarely record video because IMO the play's recording quality is just not that great.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Will it work with GSM as well to get us data back as well?
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
no it was a cdma patch i should have said that.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I still can't use the phone functionality in this ROM. It simply tells me "Mobile Network not available", it refuses to have any AP data saved, and it won't find any network if I scan for it. I just hope I haven't bricked the phone function on my end...

[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
I've had the refusing to save APN problem as well. (GSM Play, GSM build FXP023)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silvist:
Heyo everyone,

First off I got the R800x, and I flashed the cm kernel first. Then I used fastboot to boot off the xperiaPLAY.img. I read that the backup function for Bin4ry's CWM:

Either case I saw Mills had a working nandroid back up for CM7. So I looked at my other phone that I got CWM on and duplicated the folder layout. Clockworkmod/backup/2011-08-25.06.21.48 (had a different date before, and it hated on it, so I just mirrored the first part after the file date stamps lol).

I used regular restore, not advanced. I normally use advanced (dunno why just habit), but I had absolutely no problems with the restore. Rebooted the phone after and it works perfect!

Awesome work jerpelea! I've tested alot of CM7 ports and this by far is the most flawless at first release! Thanks again for all hard work, and I'll look foward to any more update's you toss out. If someone would kindly point me to where donations go for this guy, lol let me know ;p.

Edit:

Forgot to ask you guys, what exactly is this file:

R800x_3.0.E.2.89_Verizon.ftf

It looks like either some kind of settings for verzion, or what not. How would I use this if I needed to?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The ftf file is a file used with the flashtool application to do a full system restore flash. If you open the ftf with an archive editor like winzip or 7z, you will see the different parts: system.sin, kernel.sin... etc. Basically flashtool handles it all for you. The ftf image is made from an offical recovery image that sony ships with their SEUS utility.

tldr: use it when you brick your ****.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silvist:
Heyo,

Oh i see got'cha. That part makes sense, just I'm not familiar with those file formats. Is this still used in fastboot, or CWM? You mentioned flashtool, is that an SE official tool? My apologies for all the questions, this is just the first Xperia I've ever owned.

Data still does not work. This is holding me back from using the ROM on a daily basis and being able to test more.

Attempting to input APN data appears to fail. Once you input the APN and save, it goes back to the listing of APNs and does not show the one you entered. In fact, the entire list is empty and there doesn't appear to be a way to actually get an APN into the list.

Attempting to search for a network, manually or automatically selecting a network, also fails with an error. It just says "Error while searching for a network".

Wifi appears to be working fine. GPS appears to work fine.

I appear to have phone calling and texting.

Still have the top widget having a problem and not displaying.

Back button appears to be mapped properly. Search button does not appear to be mapped properly.
