This is driving me nuts...

I have an R800x, and cannot get this thing into recovery. I'm sorry, the volume buttons do nothing... I've searched this forum and also tried the back arrow, and well, every other button I can press during those first 5 seconds. I'm still on the stock ROM but now I have the FreeXperia boot kernel. I just need to get it into recovery for CM7. I even tried booting with ClockworkMod after the flash but with that the update errors out when I try to install.

Help...
[Xperia Play Android Development] mr.ultraman:
these is what i found ,bugs mayb ?

1,the dialler when making call has no backspace

2,when enable usb thether,it jump uncheck and loops to tirn usb on

3,install cm7 by fw4 but it show 301a0145 in built nmb
[Xperia Play Android Development] Laberkopf:
Nevermind.

I should read the whole desciption before asking dumb questions :>
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
try waiting until after the boot screen appears. i had trouble as well. if i started doing it the first 5seconds when there was a blank screen nothing would happen. if i waited until the boot screen appeared then i started pressing the middle of the vloume rocker i would have success. getting into recovery
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Two things you can try. First off, you can use the hot boot recovery to flash it. But in order to avoid the error you're seeing, you need to remove the device check in the installation script of the update.zip file. The other thing you can do is you can let the device boot as far as it can go. The CM7 kernel will boot the stock rom or any other roms, it just wont work 100%. If you let it boot as far as it can go, drop into an adb shell and call "reboot recovery". You'll be good to go.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
Same problem here and trying to find anything in this thread is a nightmare.

Release notes, known bugs, and detailed instructions should all be on the first page.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Yeah, the first few posts should be updated the to access recovery should be changed to the way doomlord's kernel works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
Yeah I just ended up going reboot recovery through the adb shell. Thanks guys!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Anyone having issues with the camera taking videos? When I try to watch videos I've taken it seems like they are in hyperspeed
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Same issue here
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
Never mind, fixed it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Yeah, videos are messed up. That along with touchpads not working and a general sluggish feeling even when the CPU is clocked at 1.5ghz are the 3 main problems with this rom.

I notice with the videos, the ones recorded with CM7 are recorded in m4v format, all my videos from stock and frasertags rom are in 3gp format. Wonder if there is an easy fix to get CM7 to properly record 3gp?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
seems that unfortunately we will skip also FXP027(didnt pass internal testing)

FXP028 was released on Xperia X8 and Xperia X10 MiniPro only

and tomorrow will be relased for Xperia Play GSM and CDMA
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Fx028 tomorrow for both! I'm pretty stoked
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
You've just made my day
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Reading over some of the X10 thread, I noticed it said video recording had to be set at Low quality 30m. I tried this, and the videos correctly record in 3gp, and are not super speed, or have out of sync audio. Very nice for the time being I guess.

But what could be the problem?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Thank you Neo for that info. I saw the option but I guess I never tried it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Same here, once transferred to PC or youtube, they play fine.

Nice, what changes can we expect?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Sweet deal, is PSXperia working yet? As soon as that works, and touchpads stay working well, and the battery works fine, I'm 100% jumping ship! :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP028 Released

Happy Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Yes... YES!
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
I don't think the links have been updated yet...
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
I see them, refresh maybe?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
Yes, but click the link, and you are prompted to download 025...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Copy the link text and open it instead of licking it.

I installed it and it seems to be working fine, however, I can't seem to be able to activate wifi - are there modules missing?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
If you copy and paste the link in it does work. The hyperlink just seems to not be updated. I"ll try in a half hour, unfortunately i dl'd the wrong one, and now i've hit my hourly limit on hotfile :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
Not only does that not work either, but even if I copy and paste, but change the 025 in the URL to 028 manually, I am STILL redirected to download 025. I've even tried different browsers AND my tablet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
http://hotfile.com/dl/130377767/f109a78/zeusc_stable_FXP028.7z.html

worked fine for me
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Ok, got it installed. reception is fine on CDMA build, but it seems wifi is broken. Gonna play a bit, wipe data again, and see what happens.

Edit : R800X verizon CDMA

[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Thanks FXP :)

Now go edit the first post and integrate a changelog in there for them newbies <3
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
MMS working in r800x build? Thinking of moving away from Chevy's modified build to see if the new versions clear up my touchscreen bug.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
From what the few who allready posted said .. Wifi isn't working properly, that's about it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Interesting. What about speed with the 1.5 oc? It felt the same as stock 1 with daily use, imo.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
how to update? i am on FXP26 i think. Just flash the update.zip?
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
You'll probably want to boot into recovery, wipe data and davlik, then boot into fastboot, and flash the boot.img then system.img. Boot back into recovery and flash gapps. Then you should be good.

I miss anything?
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
there is no system.img, its an update.zip. Anyway, is a wipe nessesary?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but my phone is running so slow with FXP028. Everything lags terribly. :(

Tried another run wiping everything, reflashing the kernel and installing the update.zip and gapps. Same lag. Back to 025 for the time being.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Didn't test MMS. After wifi was dead i gave up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Okay, I tried it a bit, and here are some first impressions:

It works quite nicely. Camera is working, Touchpads are Working, 3G is working, 3D Performance is good, 2D Performance as well. I was able to get Swype and Darktremor's A2SD Script running, too.

Now, to the negative things I noticed:

While 3G is active, the Battery drain is still pretty substantial. I had it running for about an hour and a half and it went from 100% to 87%. I will try a full recharge tonight and a battery wipe to see if that helps, but it seems quite similar to the problems present in FXP26

Torch isn't working - Flashlight from the Market however is working fine

Barcode Scanner doesn't Display a Camera Image - Neoreader from the Market however does

Wifi isn't working

The Notification LED can only display either Red, Blue or Green, they are not able to display "mixed" colors like purple or orange.

Thanks again for your hard work. I hope that you'll be able to iron out those last remaining problems. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
There is no xloud btw
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
WiFi is broken in FXP028
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
I'm on 26 can I just download and use the apply update from recovery to get to 28?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
No point in using 28,to many problems
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
if that's the case makes this release usless for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The wifi issues should be pretty quick to resolve. Can someone detail further what the problem is? Can you just not turn it on? Can't connect to a network? Phone doesn't say its present?

Post a logcat of the wifi turning on and off and see what it says is missing or where the error lies.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
It just sais "error" when you try to turn it on, and pretty much immediately, so it seems like it's missing the modules... Maybe. I'm currently at work, so I don't have ADB, but if you can give me the logcat command to create a text file on the SD-Card via the Terminal emulator, I can try that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TweeterMan:
I'm still on 025, guess I'm just gonna hold off on this one...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt

You have to have a root shell (so run su first) and then run that command above. The command will run until you tell it to stop. So, while its running, press the home key (not the back key because that will kill terminal emulator) and then toggle wifi on/off as best you can. Do it a few times just to be sure. Then from your notification window, jump back to your terminal, then press volume down + C on your soft keyboard to kill the process. The file should be saved to your sdcard.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Mills I will update to 28 and get you a log

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

So I managed to get my phone stuck at the CM7 logo and it will not go any farther from there. Any ideas what I did wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Might need to do a data/cache wipe or a dalvik cache wipe...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
I did all of that but I will try again, I just tried installing the zip again. Do I need to use fastboot to use the boot.img or is that unnecessary and all I need to do is just update from recovery?

EDIT- Still no luck, I have wiped the dalvik cache, the cache on the first page of the recovery, and I have done a factory reset. I also do not seem to be able to get into fastboot mode.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The ROM will not work if you have not used fastboot to flash the boot image. You have to do that and then use the update.zip.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Okay thanks for the info. I will follow the steps on the front page again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Sorry for the late reply - kinda busy. :) Here it is!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
I have updated to FX028 and it does seem to be sluggish compared to FX025/026 whichever I had. CDMA
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The sluggishness at first glance appears to be an opengl issue. It's bad. the system log is going bat**** crazy with GL errors. Disabling the live wallpaper helps a little.... but i think its an issue related to adw since the rest of the menus seem to work fine. Or more finely pointed out, the actual launcher works fine, its just the notification panel.

As far as the wifi is concerned, I'm not really able to pinpoint the exact issue. Every time wifi is activated, the log dumps this code:

E/WifiService( 221): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
D/SettingsAppWidgetProvider( 601): Widget is from a previous version... Let's update
D/SettingsAppWidgetProvider( 601): No instances yet... Wait for at least one instance to exist before adding global settings

The interwebs say this could be because of old system files or modules still being enabled, but I've replaced everything system side with working counterparts and also completed a full system wipe and install (not just the data wipe.) it looks like its still having issues. Its gotta be something in the kernel code.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Yea, I noticed that the status bar stutters when I pull it down, but the settings and other stuff I have tried seem to be fine. I have also noticed the keyboard is sluggish as well when typing. As for wifi, I'm completely lost when it comes to all that haha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The new boot.img on an old stable build, FXP025, causes wifi to fail the same way as it does on FXP028. I'm trying an old kernel with the new build now.

Edit: Old kernel with new build does not work. Device fails to start netd on bootup and continues to try seemingly indefinitely. The device never gets past the CM logo, although its not bootlooping.... it just cant start that process. Going back to (much more stable) FXP025.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Mills, do you by chance have the proper kernel to be used with Chevy's modified FXP025 build? I am pretty sure i'm using a kernel for FXP026, or the b revision of 025/026. I was talking with FXP, and he said the touchscreen bug is kernel related, maybe it could be the key to fix my problem.

Or better yet, checking to see if the MD5 matches up on the kernel I am using to the proper one to be used on his build:

969a057c155e87d5b74d10f8da91a422
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
new FXP028a will be released in less than 24h

sorry for the incovenience
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Thanks,
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Neo, the boot.img that I'm using with the FXP025 build has a checksum of c397c1bb20ddb0717529355557a895af. I'm attaching the boot image that I use for my FXP025 build that I'm currently running...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Thanks. Just to be sure, this is the build you posted a Nandroid backup for? I'm running that as my 025.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Yeah I don't think I've changed since that nandroid was made. Assuming the nandroid was for FXP025... and I think it was? Its hard to tell since the prop doesnt get updated with each new version. Either way I know I'm on FXP025 right now and that is most definitely the kernel I'm currently using. If you want me to make another nandroid for you later just to make sure, I'd be more than happy to. Just let me know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Thanks for the update and no worries - You're doing it for free to the benefit of all of us, so no one expects perfection. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Hey guys I appreciate the work you have done it is great but we will always be missing out on certain features like xloud and now hd recording etc.

I have just tried this rom for a second time after the latest update but unfortunately its still not enough to sway me at the moment.

If there was anyway to get those features onto freexperia cm7 then I would gladly flash it again.. for now its back to zerorom v0.4 though.

I do see a lot of promise with this project and hope to see it spread its wings very soon :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
The point of CM7 is to use as little proprietary code as possible. So, while it's certainly possible that CM7 will at some point have the same functionality, it'll have to be done from scratch and the CM7 Team wouldn't be able to use SE's code like xLoud, Bravia Engine of the Camera App.

That said, there is quite a bit possibility that we'll see CM7-based roms that DO use this code, they just won't be part of the official CM7 release and those addons might not work with later versions of Android, such as Ice Cream Sandwich (which, presumably, will be CM8).
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
I'm pretty sure the nandroid of Chevy's modified build was FXP022
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
So what is the stability of 28a?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Downloading now, but I won't have a chance to be a guinea pig until late tonight. The only thing that needed to be cleared up, it seems, was wifi and heavy lag on the homescreen/keyboard. Not sure if MMS was working on the original 028, didn't get a chance to test it.

EDIT: I noticed the APPS folder from the 028a archive with 3 .apk files. One being a GLBenchmark, and the other two being S-E extras liveware/liveview.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/accessories/liveviewmicrodisplay?cc=gb&lc=en

Interesting.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
ya i have a liveview DON'T GET ONE EVER
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
What is it exactly?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
FXP028a doesn't look like it fixed anything on my device. In fact the build looks identical to the original 28 release. The lag is still there, wifi still fails to do anything....

Edit: I guess I'm dumb... MD5's are exactly the same.... It is the same build as yesterday. The link for the download never had its hyperlink changed, just the text. Copy paste the link to download the correct build.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Hope you find it works better. Anxiously hitting F5 waiting for your results ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Wifi works fine in new build. Horrendous lag does not seem to be addressed. Lag makes it too bad to use for a daily driver.

First time installed over my working FXP025 build. Second time formatted data, cache, dalvik, and system. Installed again. Same issues with initial lag. There are no system processes visibly causing the lag to me. There is nothing i can see running in the logcat that would be slowing the phone down. And again, just like yesterday, its not the whole phone being slow, just the notification panel and some other misc windows.

Running the new kernel with my stable FXP025 build seems to work just fine. I'm having no noticeable issues. The lag is not present.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
on wich device ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
r800x

10 char
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Thanks for checking this out for us.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
I'm not yet able to test FXP28a, but FXP28 worked completely lag-free on my GSM-Play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
I am pretty sure that the lag is from the kernel/boot.img, because I get the same experience from flashing DooMLoRD's kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It's an accessory which you strap to your wrist and which allows you to check your SMS, Facebook updates and so on without looking at your phone. It works with Android... But let's say it is a nice idea, poorly implemented.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
28 worked perfectly for me just didn't have wifi, didn't test anything else, no wifi was a killer.

If touchpads and PS Games work as said earlier and no other bugs occur, I'm game :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
I flashed this kernel over the stock rom on my R800x and let it boot before I flashed the CM7 rom and the kernel was fine. Besides the fact that wifi didnt work and 3g was slow as hell, but thats a given as it is not meant for a stock rom. As far as performance was concerned it was snappy with no lag, so I am not exactly sure it's the kernel. Once I flashed the cm7 zip and rebooted I then experienced the lag, so I don't think it's kernel related.

I never experienced that with DooMLord's kernel myself, always seems to be quite fast for me.

I am experiencing alot of lag with this rom. If you disable the live wallpaper it speeds it up some but still not enough for a daily user. The notification bar is really slow as stated by Mills. Wifi is also working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Azeazezar:
I dont notice any lag here, but i do have live walpapers disabled.

Even played around a bit with the notification bar, no lag.

not now and not with 028.

And wifi works again!
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Do you have R800x, or R800i?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Just tried 28a, R800i here:

- This is a FRIGGING LIGHTNING BOLT of a ROM. It's overclocked by default at 1.5 Ghz, and it shows. I'm going to try FPSE next, and then PSXPeria. I'll be updating this post a couple of times.

- Torch works, and I quite like it.

- While installing Crash Bandicoot (I need the zpak as I don't have it anywhere else), preinstalledservice.apk force-closes and the game asks to "renew the license". I guess I'll have to stick with FPSE for now.

- FPSE is much snappier. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater lagged badly in certain places, now it doesn't. I may have to find a lower point than 1.5 Ghz though.

- Like prior releases, QR readers work, but they don't show anything on the screen. Google Goggles worked with prior releases and it does the same as the others, even if you're not scanning a QR code but trying to snap a normal picture.

- Ok, PSXperia works, but you need to reinstall preinstalledservices.apk in every reboot. It shouldn't be a tragedy if you reboot every couple of years like me :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Tested it on R800i, GSM model, works well, it's fluid, snappy, wifi works, camera playback of videos is SUPER fast though, also, PSXperia doesn't work...although some said earlier that it did?

Seems pretty stable tbh...

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Ok, gonna try reinstall PreInstalledService and will get back to you guys!
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
on R800x, phone is laggy like really bad., phone is over clocked at 1.5ghz but it feels slower then my ERIS at 700mhz, WiFi works, dunno about pads,
