Neo, give me like half an hour and I'll flash it at work. I'll report back immediately what we have.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Appreciate it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Same here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Just out of interest, roughly how long does the initial boot take? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Maybe a minute or two on the initial boot. Nothing staggering. What is staggering is the regular boot up time. Its crazy fast. I havn't timed it, but i can tell you that after a reboot, it catches me off guard with how soon the phone is ready to go.

Usually i use reboots as an opportunity to force myself to do work.... with a phone that reboots so quickly, I dont have time to work my real job!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Due to Verizon's un-just data plans, I can only use my phone for wifi. Hopefully you will be able to fix wifi for this :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
So has anyone got a chance to use this on r800x successfully? Any problems?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
See my other posts covering this. Looks like the problems still exist. For now anyway.
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
That sucks had my hopes up for this. Hopefully it gets fixed. Thx for your work development team.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ammarcool12:
Has anyone made a vid of this in action?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The rom works fine right now for GSM devices like your r800i. It just doesn't work on CDMA plays yet. So disregard talk referencing that.

Install it now if you have a compatible play. You don't have to wait. The FreeXperia team did fantastic.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
finaly an great news

camera starts and we can take snapshots

video recoding is not working yet

@r800x rom

seems that we have to use r800x radio files

i will try to get an dump from an shipped rom

wich carrier ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
Verizon?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
GSM version FXP021 released

NOW you can enjoy camera and video camera

happy bughunting
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Jerpelea, will i lose the new update if i go fxp021?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Double post sorry
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Dont get it what you want to ask :D

In FXP21 we fixed camera, its a release like the others before!

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Good job!!!

If this works, this means you can go to RC status, doesn't it? The cameras were the only thing we were missing from stock.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Nice. How are Quadrant benchmarks and the OC capabilities of the current CM7 on Xperia Play? Getting excited at the first chance to use it on my R800x soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Thinking..

What about xLoud getting ported to CM7?

only for the supported xperia devices ofc.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The only CDMA carrier I believe that is carrying the r800x is Verizon. There are stock ROMs on my State of Development thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Are the touchpads working? Ditto my enthusiasm for R800x!
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
looks as though CDMA is supported now. Im gonna flash it to see if it works. Will post findings on the R800X Dev thread. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
seems as though they took down the links after i downloaded the CDMA version. Probably because it is giving an error 7 in CWM :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
no

just because we wish to bring WORKING CAMERA :d and CDMA RADIO
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
:D yay. but then wtf is error 7. XD
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
can you post the whole error?

[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
thanks

this is already fixed in FXP021
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Aha finally. Cant wait to get CM7 of this. Will the WiFi radio be fixed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
cool, im excited :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Official Sony roms and Cyanogen Mod are completely separate from each other. You will lose the update, but simply because you're flashing a different thing. You're getting a different set of features.

To give you an example, it's saying: will I lose Windows Update if I install Linux in my computer? You will, of course, but that's because Linux has its own update processes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
The new SE update v386, will i lose it if i flash the beta cm?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Scorbion:
error status 7 in recovery when trying to apply the update
[Xperia Play Android Development] ncaissie:
Why don't you read all the responses to your question before posting it again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Who? Me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Hes talking about Scorbion
[Xperia Play Android Development] Scorbion:
what question u referring to?? i'm not asking here, i'm reporting

besides they said its allready fixed in 021 which I just downloaded
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
CDMA version FXP021 released

please test and report bugs

if you dont have gsm please also flash shipped rom to have needed modem firmware
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
So is this stable enough to run as a daily use or is it still buggy?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
We don't know yet. It could be like the first release on the R800x and not even work as a telephone, or it may be a true beta release and work with some flaws here and there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
How are the touchpads?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
broken for now

some ask for camera others ask for touchpads

wich to fix first ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Install flip a coin apk xD

I say camera, more important since its an everyday feature for those who use their phones for txting, camera, calling and music.

I would test the cm mod but what will happen to my new firmware (4. 0)?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'd fix the camera first. The touchpads are not supported in FPSE yet (which would be one primary use for them, if not the primary use), and PSXperia games' support for them is random at best.

On the contrary, the camera allows for more added functionalities, and programs: I think of Barcode Scanner, Instagram, Vignette and so on.

Cat_on_Droid, you will lose the update, because CM7 has nothing to do with the official Sony firmware. Please read what people write to you...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Will do, @. @ sorry
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
I will try CDMA tonight when I'm by a computer and will report back if someone hasn't already done so by then.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Am I right in saying that we cant add Google acct's yet?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
I want to do this right, can someone verify this as a recovery process in case things go wrong?

flash back stock verizon kernel

boot back into clockworkmod and wipe everything

restore nandroid backup of stock rooted phone
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gilgamesh1:
Im trying to flash this but I cant find the Kernel im supposed to flash, it wasnt in the zip file..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gilgamesh1:
Im using r800x fyi
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
The boot.img file is the kernel, right? It was in the zip file I downloaded.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gilgamesh1:
Ohhhh maybe, ill give it a shot thx
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gilgamesh1:
It doesnt work, gives me Status 7 error. Using r800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
What exactly causes this specific error. I've seen it mentioned several times
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Touchpads, it's a gaming phone...! Just IMO thought tbh!
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
Ok I got the Status 7 error...I'm not sure what causes it, but this is what I did.

Fastbooted into recovery and made a nandroid backup.

Wiped data

Flashed Kernel

Flashed update.zip

When I tried to flash the update.zip I got the error and the Kernel gives me wifi error when I tried to use it with stock rom.

So if I did anything wrong in the flash process let me know...

I'm on US Verizon version of the PLAY, r800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Scorbion:
anyone got this to work?? I'm using r800i and I get the same error
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
please type exatly the output from

adb shell cat /system/build.prop | grep 800

error 7 means that you have an different device name than R800x (case sensitive)
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
I successfully flashed r800x fxp021. I had to ftf back to stock with the ftf file provided first. i dont think u guys are doing that (with status 7 errs). I also renamed my zip file to update.zip if that has anything to do with it. But still no radio support. My com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly :\ Same as flashing gsm im afraid...

It is running the provided kernel. It appears to be stuck in airplane mode. I tried fixing it through all the error screens, but it doesnt work :(

Do you want me to attach logcat?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
as we dont have an R800x you have to do all the testing

i have to look deeper

something else has changed

please do

adb shell rild >rillog

and send me the rillog file (file is in current folder on your pc)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
no need for this anymore as is already included in FXP021b
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
think i found the missing link :d

uploading CDMA FXP021b

please report
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
Im going to work right now, I will test in 6 hours XD
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
more testing....
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
We still have to flash the stock rom in your post before this one, right? I may be brave enough to give it a whirl here in a couple hours. Just got Titanium Backup to aid in my obsession with rom flashing. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
So do we have to flash stock first?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I just flashed the kernel provided, and have installed CyanogenMod 7, booting up now with the little skateboard dude. Hopefully I report back with some good news in a minute.

Phone continually crashes. Can't use the ROM...It is speedy though, hehe. Can't wait to try another release.

I don't necessarily need my phone app, is there a way to get it to stop complaining about it so I can mess around in the ROM itself and test other aspects?
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
Try renaming the phone apk?
[Xperia Play Android Development] -Sumsy-:
ive tried install that B version of this and it get status 7 i came from original firmware wipe data to and i keep getting same problem something to do with build prop.could i just use the one out of previous versions or do i have to install 21 then update again with b
[Xperia Play Android Development] LUZPIVER:
install this rom directly?

I have a free play xpeia.

I can install this rom directly, or something to do before:confused:

thanks;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You probably want to wait until there is a Rom to install...
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
ive only been gone for 12 hours and play development has moved on by about a million years :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] excession3105:
You know, I thought the same thing:)

I hadn't looked at the forum all weekend, and now all this movement.

I knew the devs would get under way suddenly.

Keep up the good work guys, can't wait. What with this and the recovery in development, this is shaping up to be fantastic stuff.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
yeah, the kernel progress is going well too, when i first got my play development was pretty dry but things are looking much better
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
now you have 3d on arc, when do you think there might be a alpha for the play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
A litle patience please :P 3d for play was achieved this night! So please be patient!

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] ncaissie:
3D? How does that work? do you need the red and blue glasses?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
I would like to know the answer to this as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
They mean hardware-activated 3D graphical acceleration. Without it, it's nigh impossible to play games or render 3D graphics.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ncaissie:
Cool, Make sense. Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
I wonder if the Play has a more "standard" camera(s) that's easier to write drivers for than the one on the Arc. I guess we'll see, I'm very much looking forwards to having CM7 on my Play and I'll donate again as soon as the first beta boots on mine. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
It's the only thing not working in the costum kernel :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Yeah I can't WAIT to have CM7 booting on this bad boy, they've a beta out now for the arc, so hopefully we're not too far off!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
uploading preview release

this release does not come with recovery

you have to flash it through fastboot
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Sweeeeeet
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Woot! FPSE on board and overclocking? My, my...
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:

to flash it pud device in fastboot mode and

run from PC "FLASH_ALPHA.cmd"
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
installing :D lets report some bugs baby~
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
Hm i just dont manage it to get into the recovery :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Hmm, I was able to install the update.zip without issue after flashing the CM7 kernel. I didn't flash his stock ROM before doing this either.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Are you even on a CDMA Play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
And its not the phone.apk thats the problem, its the telephonyprovider apk that is causing the issue. Yes, renaming this file will absolve you of any further crashes, but you will probably be only able to use wifi.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I have decided to give frasertags rom a try until Monday when I have to either go back to stock, or on a usable CM7...And this rom actually isn't that bad since everything but phone calls work, and beautifully at that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
So whats different in b?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm curious as well. It seems to exhibit the same behavior as the others. When I was on Frasertags rom earlier today, I started having issues where the phone would act like it was on a voice call when it didn't seem to be running. I renamed the telephonyproviders apk, and on the surface it acted like CM7 is acting (endless phone.apk force close preventing any usability in the rom). Is there any way we can extract that apk from the stock rom and see if it works? I assume it's much more complicated and requires an entirely new apk to be created from scratch for that program and/or supplemental programs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] -Sumsy-:
I have no idea what im on all i no is its a r800 not r800x its a uk phone.im frustrated now as i dont no which one im on i keep getting status 7 error which i know thats means wrong phone model number.but what ever i do it comes up that error.i have the original latest se fimrware on and it still gives me the same error
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Install the GSM version and enjoy your phone!
[Xperia Play Android Development] -Sumsy-:
can anyone help please ? Am i CDMA or GSM

Im on orange uk phones from UK R800 not R800x

Im proper backward ive just relised it says on the update r800i and other is r800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You've got a GSM phone, like every Briton. CDMA is a load of bullcrap supported by some American companies to screw consumers instead of adopting a world wide phone standard.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Yeah, CDMA was an easy way to get a quick headstart into 3G, imo. They could more cheaply deploy a what seemed like quick/vast mobile network, but was archaic.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
CDMA is usually an American type on radio. You have a GSM play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
I dont see update.zip in the CDMA download
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
It's the .zip file with the long name. You can rename it to update.zip, although it should work either way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
It appears the link to the CDMA version is actually missing
[Xperia Play Android Development] xzillerationer:
Sorry if I sound new....I have 2.5 or so years of rooting and roming, I should know more, but, how exactly do I flash the kernel? I can boot into Clockwork recovery just fine, but I don't know how to flash the kernel, and I really want CM7 on my Play. I have it on my DROID 2, and I love it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Boot into Fastboot

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

Then reboot and try the new kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] eximperialdragon:
So, erm, there are a LOT of pages to this, and I'm really sorry to ask for information to be reiterated that is probably already known to everyone but myself, but is everything working with this ROM, now?

I saw in the OP that the camera was working, and I was wishing to ask if radio/Wi-Fi/camera work on CDMA/R800x Plays too.

Hopefully this isn't causing anyone any trouble...
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
First few posts clear everything up about this.

CMDA version does not work correctly (Phone app FCing constantly).

pretty much everything else (but the pad controls) work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I wonder if the fixes for Fraseerags Tom can somehow be applied here and get a semi working phone if jot fully working
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
i was thinking the same thing.... half tempted to give it a whirl but i hate wiping he data its so frustrating setting everything up
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Titanium backup/nandroid backup or bust!
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
i use both but i dont like wasting space on my sd card with lots of free app backups so it takes a bit of time but i think im going to try CM7 now just did a nandroid of fts and finished downloading CM7 wish me luck lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
I was being a n00b please ignore or admin please delete
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP022 released
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Your GitHub link gives a 404 as a result...

What does FXP022 bring of new?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
How do the fixes seem to be coming along for the CDMA versions?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
without an actual cdma device is hard to bugtest and will take some time
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
I among lots of other users in sure will happily bugtest
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
im having a problem with this bit :

ON PC - run flash_kernel.cmd (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)

Can i not flash using flashtool then boot the recovery img and install zip?

When i select apply update from SD it doesnt find it :S do i need to rename it to update.zip?

just to clarify. i take these steps:

1. flash .tft file

2. boot into recovery using fastboot and boot.img

3. install .zip from SD?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Not correct! Yozu have to FLASH boot.img/kernel via fastboot! You cannot use flashtool for this, so your step2 ist not really correct because you say "boot"!

Please flash it using this command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Does it work?

After that select the update from SDcard, be sure you choose the option "Select from SDCard" then you will see the folders & files on your card and can choose the package yourself!

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
Thanks for the quick reply Binary. I was a bit confused with the instructions in the first post but your reply cleared everything up :) Its taking a while to boot the phone but i will leave it because i know it can take a while first time round.

The splash screen with CM7 is showing after the FreeXperia boot screen so hopefully, fingers crossed lol

*Its been loading for nearly 10 mins now. not sure whats up. i will re-do everything and get back to you*
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
I got it going Binary. thanks alot :)

One quick question. is this rom rooted? If not can i use flashtool to root?

Thanks for your help

*my home button doesnt seem to do anything, i checked ADW settings and it supposed to take me to default home screen :s*

*I also cant add my google account. when i go to settings > accounts and sync i can only add an exchange account and not google*
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Your homebutton SHOULD work, for googleaccount you need googleapps, seems J forgot to add them to first post. Here is the link:

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Flash this file through recovery! Gapps & Accounts will be there.

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
For CDMA I believe they have hit a wall preventing bug testing from being done by regular users. Once they fix the phone app crashing over and over we can start to test it. Hopefully the progress made on Frasertags rom can be applied here. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yes problem is that we dont have CDMA phones, currently im working at the Data bug with 4.x firmware (for all devices same). Maybe it will fix it all at once!

Regards
