I understand your troubles, but the first step is to unlock your bootloader.

This is a tough place to start, good luck :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Send a PM to Alejandrissimo, Can do it for 23$ which is how I did it. Remote testpoint. Well worth it to be able to make this sucker do anything. Can unlock them very easily and uses gtalk and remote desktop chat.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok question for research if someone can help. In terms of the "O" button thing we been seeing. Had this question asked, which is valid and now would be nice to know what the deal is.

So the real question, with stock roms and so... What is "O" being mapped to? BACK ALT or BUTTON_B? Cause if we start changing things to "fix" this O button issue, we maybe breaking apps by the app not knowing what "Button_B" is.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
I have access to all three of my mapping settings. What should I look for? I don't know why, but I really want to help out with this xD

EDIT: I have BACK ALT set for key 305... I think his is with the one you provided, though. I may check in update.zip to see if I can find it.

EDIT2:

In Generic, it's

key 305 BUTTON_B

In Vendor_045e_Product_028e, it's

key 305 BUTTON_B

in keypad-zeus, it's mapped as

key 305 BACK ALT WAKE_DROPPED

These were from CM9 (chevyowner's) but they should be the same. I'm wondering why mappings would conflict...

EDIT3: crap... I totally didn't see you were wondering about the stock ROM. I can download the stock ROM and take a look at the mappings for you.

EDIT4:

Stock UK firmware (modded for R800x) has:

keypad-zeus

key 305 BACK ALT WAKE_DROPPED

Team Experia's Tweaked SE stock has the same, and as does the JokaWild ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Thanks, Whats Key 304 for you? Some Go DPad_Center others change to Button_A

Also yes it is odd, so if Sony says its supposed to be Back Alt. Then why is Button_B coming into play as needed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
I have no idea. I say that somebody that plays games a lot makes a backup, and changes all instances of 305 to BACK ALT and see what happens.

UK Stock and JokaWild both have DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED for 304. CM9 has 304 as button A in Generic, Button A in Vendor_045e_Product_028e, DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED in keypad-zeus.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
So again a conflict. Cause X and O are the hardware alts for "Open or Confirm" and "Close/Back"

So now what do we need to do? Agree on a format among XDA? To use BACK ALT or BUTTON_A and B?
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
I think somebody should thoroughly test all these settings. I wonder if Sony would release documentation on all the key mapping settings.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Assuming what Gene said, They did. Which it shows "BACK ALT" being the key map. So was it custom roms that started mapping it differently to prevent O from being "back"?

Made a new poll about this and what should be standard in your eyes.

[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
It seems like it. I think that BACK ALT has an obscurely different function from BUTTON_B. I still can't figure out what the hell the conflicting mappings are for... I wonder if the keypad-zeus is just a fallback in case the other mappings fail to work properly. And after that, it would fall back to as if there were a qwerty pad. If that's the case, we should test to see if changing the other two entries (not in keypad-zeus) to BACK ALT.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Back Alt is just a diff ID for the key. Just functions the same as "back" however if a dev wants to remap that ID for their app/game, Then "Back Alt" would function for whatever button the app tells it to. So if that stays true.. then its up to devs to assign a function to that ID mapping.

While the Button_B or so mapping wouldnt act like an alt for a diff function, so unless a dev directly programmed for Button_B keymap.. either way, very confusing indeed and I wonder how the diff mappings even started, but it does seem to be the reason people have issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Also in cm9 though the buttons don't say different they are mapped differently. Games like gta 3 work on cm9 no O button problem but cm7 pain in the ...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Motawa88:
android market/play doesnt open and crashes on cm9
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
Factory reset, and install GAPPS through recovery.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Brian, are you saying its supposed to be BUTTON_A and B then and not Dpad_Center or BACK ALT?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok so here is a question, seems Sony wants to use X and O for navigating purposes, while Google has it mapped for gamepad use (like a 360 controller). So this is causing so much in the way of confusion Im left with this suggestion:

1: Can someone contact CM about this and suggest if he can make an option within CM to change the keypad layout? 1 would be gamepad mode (Button_A and B) and the other for BACK Alt and Dpad_center

or

2: Can someone make an app that would toggle these options for us?

Minor note: Anyone here with an XP playing GTA with the gamepad and all buttons work? If so, would love to know your keypad_zeus.kl file. Wondering what GTA 3 is assuming your X and O are.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
GTA completely works for me using the Stock UK Rom posted by 007. You could take a look in that archive.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Motawa88:
the touchpad works great on n64oid. only problem is that up and down is reversed. any solution for that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Checked the key mappings in the app itself? Then click it for Up and Down and give it what its supposed to be on the dpad.
[Xperia Play Android Development] demios:
my touchpads dont work in gameloft games :( but when I tried test app for xperia play touchpads (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=616510&d=1307286108) it worked... so is there any solution to use touchpads in gameloft games? (they worked in stock rom)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Motawa88:
talking about the touchpads. cant keymap the touchpads. they work but its reversed.

also: is there a way to get the native playstationpocket(emulator) running?
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
So it looks like it's supposed to be BACK ALT. I was thinking this was the case, as every app designed for the XP is going to be programmed to use that mapping.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok so guess we need to let rom devs know to map it like this then? That or if someone builds in the option to toggle mapping profiles?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Good luck :D

I don't see Zeus in FXP114 folder for CM9
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Zeus is there. I've downloaded and am running FXP114, and proximity sensor is still borked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Disabled the 3 light sensors....? Why was this done I wonder.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
First, wrong thread, this is cm7 not cm9, and second, fxp doesn't support r800x for cm9 yet, and i doubt they will
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Was there ever a fix posted here for CM7 on the R800x for the phone crashing like crazy?
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
When would it crash for you? I've never had this issue so I'll need a few details if you don't mind :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
It happens the second the Rom boots and says welcome to R800x... The phone app crashes and continues to crash making it impossible to operate.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
ah! That I know exactly about. I had that happen once, all i did was flash back to stock then jump back to fxp then fix permissions..But I also edited the build.prop.. Not sure which of the two did the trick to be honest..Do you know if it's still doing it or not? I'm on cm9 right now, but if it is I'll switch back and check it out
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
I am fixing permissions now. I will let you know how it works ;)

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

It didn't work :( any other ideas? I am using the FXP114 in your mediafire folder agraceful...
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Nevermind I got it working... Here is what I did....

1. Use flashtool and revert to stock.

2. Install the FXP114 kernel in your mediafire folder...

3. Clear all data, cache, battery stats, delvik etc..

4. Install the FXP112 through ClockworkMod.

5. Boot up, activate phone!

6. Install the FXP113.

7. Install the FXP114.

9. DO NOT WIPE IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH INSTALL

10. Install gapps, playstation suite, etc...

11. Everything seems to be working! <3

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Phone app works. I'm pretty sure the issue lies with the TelephonyProviders.apk talking to the RIL stack and there are probably also some issues with the build.prop, i imagine. but its all certainly close to working, no doubt.

Hey, here's my thread. But this is mostly for the R800x, the CDMA verizon version. Its probably similar in builds to what is on GSM versions, but your results may vary. Its at least a good directory if you're looking for new roms at least :)

any news installing FXP018
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Not yet, I did fiddle a lot with the script and the build.prop, but I wasn't able to get around that assert message, even tho I removed that line and edited it several times, too. It seems it really wants you to have a "zeus" device, while our phones report R800i back. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
What are the improvements to '18 anyways?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Noone knows yet, I think ^^;
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aerox912:
with root explorer copy the build.prop from in the zip update to where your build.prop is in your phone, that should do the trick, was also the problem with version 16.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
Will give that a go, any idea where prop file resides

UPDATE:

Tried replacing build.prop with the one in the .zip but get same error :(

UPDATE 2:

Tried steps again and did work but installed way to quickly showing up as 2.3.5 CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-R800i-KANG

installed in under 1 minute though

UPDATE 3:

Google apps are missing, dont know if this has anything to do with how I have installed but flashing this pack http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip through CWM works fine :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
I also used that trick for v16, but it didn't work for me this time...

UPDATE: Was able to get it working by opening the archive in 7zip and removing the 1st line in the updater-script file as others have noted.

Home button didn't work until I installed the google app package that the above poster linked to. Thanks mac_d4di!

Downloaded FPSe, same results as before. Stock rom runs 60fps smoothly with no audio stutter in Castlevania SOTN. In CM7 it runs 41fps with heavy audio stutter.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Is that SOTN bench from a GSM model that is fully compatible with the CM7?
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
I have an unbranded unlocked global GSM R800a so I would assume so. If someone with the GSM R800i could test as well we'd know for sure as it's the only other GSM based variant on the market currently.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
no sound in speaker

Just noticed when i try to make a call i cannot hear the other party and they can not hear me either :( help

by the way it is an R800i UK model

Not to worry a reset fixed this issue for now will keep testing

I don't know if you've noticed, but uploaded.to works again. I just downloaded FlashTool again today, without going through a proxy.

Download speeds aren't too shabby on this, but the wait time sucked. 112 seconds to wait for a download link. Not that I'm raging about changing upload servers, because it's great that you switched for us, it really is. Haven't tried 115 yet, as I'm waiting for CM9 update.

Anyone know if we can get Skyvi working on FXP rom? (Says device cant reconize voice?) Is this app even worth using? Was curious about this whole siri thing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Can I just install fxp 115 or do I have to install fxp 112 and everything else up to 115?
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
Just install 115 you should be fine :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Might I suggest Mediafire for the uploads? It has never failed me in the past and the download speeds are always good. There's also no wait time.

Also, DLing the ROM right now. Just unlocked my bootloader today finally, tried the ICS rom, but the battery life is atrocious so I'm going back to gingerbread.

Edit: HOLY CRAP THE LED TURNED PURPLE

If you knew how to make it purple when the kernel loads, is it possible to make it like that for notifications? :D Just a thought.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Couldnt you use one of the apps for that? I use sms popup and I can change my colors.

agraceful, question, the roms you upload, are those altered with your build.props? Just wondering if there was a difference. =)

Also no need for mediafire uploads.. fxp just changed it for everyone, so lets not ask for another change heh.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
Yes, and handcent, and gosmspro change the led color :) and yup, mine have build.prop edits in them..built in mms settings too so no need to mess with apn settings..just a few extras :)

I know he changed it, which it super cool of the fxp team :)

Sent from Asgard
[Xperia Play Android Development] likuid:
Yep, also tried system but same result
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
So just to double-check the steps here

-You extracted the kernel (boot.img) from the zip to your computer

-then you loaded the zip to your SD card

-loaded the phone into fastboot

-flashed the kernel with fastboot

-loaded recovery

-wiped cache and user settings

-installed the zip file

correct? If something was different, try again as I just described.

[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Try spamming the back button, I think that's what gets you into the recovery!

Some recovery kernels use the volume down button, some use the back button. I had also tried one that used the menu button.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
I had that issue too with the stock. How I did it, was from inside the phone. Once booted up, connect to pc, and send the adb reboot recovery command. Worked SOOOOO much easier. Now whenever I need it, I just hit power button and reboot, which can take me to recovery. (Nice CM7)

This should help you. Also Biggyhead, question since you said r800x. Did you unlock the bootloader 1st using testpoint or a code? If you didnt, I should urge you caution as you wont be able to use FXP till you do. However you can root.
