Got it [:

One more thing...

I know CM7 is still a work in progress thing, and I was wondering if you ( assuming you're already on CM7 ) miss stock?

Also, no doomlord kernel when on CM7? :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
I was on CM7 a few times and allways reflashed to stock since CM7 had troubles with DATA and i just cannot live without my halfhourly dose of internets.

I will reflash it tonight / tomorrow and stick with it through development as much as i can =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] LemonPlusTea:
Looks like Data's fixed according to the first post..

I'll probably lurk around and watch how development goes... I don't think I can drop the O/C for CM7.. maybe when it gets too enticing.. .. [:
[Xperia Play Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
Working for me still nearly 24 hours later, I'm guessing crash bandicoot may never work due to proprietary Sony Ericsson software but I may be wrong...
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
When I was on FXP22 crash and the native emulator worked for me. I was on the nandroid mills made of chevy's modified cdma build. So something he did fixed it or the updates broke it
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Are we even sure such an update exists? Maybe I've been out of the loop but I have heard nothing of any new updates in the pipe for the Verizon Play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
SO Have the PSpocket being fixed yet?the only thing thats preventing me from using it
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
How do we setup psxperia as would love to have that too. Brilliant work to everyone involved. Also it says on the setup widget that nightly builds are now available. Does this apply to xplay yet
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ekusuperia:
This is my first experience with CyanogenMod and I am so much impressed by the rom speed as well as its unique interface design. the only one problem that stops me from enjoying this CyanogenMod is that I could not syncronize with my google account to access the android market to download and restore my apps despite I have tried to flash the provided gapps zip via CWM as instructed. Is it because I have missed some particular steps during the process or the rom does not support it atm?

Sorry for my noob question as I am new enough to this field.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Anyone else experienced huge battery drain with the latest release?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ncaissie:
LOL you are the poster above you! :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
hahaha, I KNEW someone would point that out, I was gonna reply to myself, and play out 2 characters but it was too late and I was tired :P

Anyways, it doesn't matter now as the poster I was talking about said that it doesn't actually work for him, so I think I'm going to have to reflash my stock nandroid. Really annoying cause I <3 CM7, but the plays biggest attraction is this. And I know people will say just use FPSE, but I prefer having the icons etc. etc. and prefer the native emulator.

Anyways, as soon as PS1 games are sorted with PSXperia, I will be back for good as long as no other major bugs appear.

Also, I would like to know also if nightlies are available for the Xperia Play.

:-)

Niall

EDIT: Yes, I am also noticing HUGE, I mean HUMONGOUS battery drain. unplugged it at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and with 30 minutes of playing N64oid, and some light use, it's now 6pm and it's on 6% battery. :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
I too am noticing the battery drain hmm
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Ok good, so it's not me :P Lost like all my battery in only 6 hours..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Did you put the network settings to wcdma/gsm preferred in the networks settings?

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Nope, but that shouldn't drain the battery like this :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Does anyone know how I can get the touchpads to work on the cdma version?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Untill the CDMA version gets updated, No.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Tested it for 24 hours, and:

1. SERIOUS battery drain, all gone in 6 hours of medium use.

2. PSXperia doesn't work, no Stock PS1 games work.

Will report more in a few days
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ekusuperia:
May anyone of you advance user guide me to overcome my problem with google account synchronization on this fantastic cyanogenmod rom. Despite I have followed instruction to install the provided gapps zip via recovery mode, I could never success to stay in sync with my account as it keeps prompting me that " cannot connect to the server, please call service provider ".:confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Which play are you on?

What did CWM say while flashing gapps?

Do you have a DATA connection?

You ask us Questions without giving us anything to work with but "it doesn't work" ..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Just a drunk suggestion, did you flash the correct rom? I am assuming you are a GSM user.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ekusuperia:
Sorry for the lack of info.

My PLAY is R800i model with latest build of 4.0.A.2.368. I have followed the instruction closely, flash the latest kernel provided in GMS FXP026, install update zip via CMW mode, and then finally install the gapps zip. The installation was done smoothly without any error msg and I could boot the phone successfully with internet connect but the only problem is that I could never connect to my google acoount and access to the android market.

PS: Though I did not get any error msg when installing gapps, after rebooting the phone, I did not get Gmail and Market app in it and I have to install them manually from my SD card. Does it ring a bell?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Could it be that you restored back to Blagus' kernel? If so, you just need to type in adb shell or in a terminal emu of the phone:

su
insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
reboot

and that'll fix the Wifi issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Prozel:
I went from yours to CM7 then back to my restore. The WiFi works now after I installed the stock kernel. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
So happy to see this eventually...cm7.

Is this functional enough to be used as an everyday rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It may have the occasional graphical glitch, but it's perfectly usable as a daily driver if the camera is not prioritary.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
OP, please can you make a multiupload link? or in fact any other file host? hotfile.com wont open for me at all, nevermind your link :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
LiveView force closes on me. Hereby attached a logcat output.

[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
Gameloft games can't find the sdcard and touch screen sensitivity is bad. Quite laggy as well on keyboard
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
hy all

uploading rom 002 with all fixes from 1st page
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
It says in the title, beta, but the download says alpha...?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Have it booted, seems good, bit laggy for me though. Also, ADW Launcher force closes when I press the 2 dots to the left or right of the dock!

Also, I put the phone into fastboot and ran the .bat file...does this install the kernel as well?
[Xperia Play Android Development] shotgunfool:
Hey all, i may be missing a post somewhere, or but what are the pre-conditions to flashing this rom?

Rooted/Unrooted

Locked/Unlocked Bootloader

2.3.2 / 2.3.3

Cheers

Shotgunfool
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It is obvious that you need fastboot and an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to flash a custom kernel.

The other parameters, whether you're rooted right now or not, or your current version, are irrelevant.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Awesome! :D Finally I can play around with CM7 on my Play as well. n.n I'll give it a whirl on my Weekend on Monday. Is the recovery already able to make a backup and restore the stock rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Jawohl, it can ;)

Confirmed, attaching pastebin log: http://pastebin.com/fZNJCssP
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Okay, i've been using for about an hour or so and i'll give a little review:

Alpha1:

Installed it and set it up, but it was slow and buggy and very laggy for me with lots of graphical glitches and errors, I thought to myself, devastated that I can't use this as my every day rom. I uninstalled it, but got a bootloop when trying to reflash my old system.img (assuming it was something to do with the boot.img?)

Went out to play football with a brick of a phone in my pocket and came home, saw Beta1 was out, and thought, meh, what harm in flashing it! Well, MY GOD, I was shocked.

It runs INCREDIBLY better than the Alpha, it is VERY usable as an everyday rom, bar one or 2 things, but I definately plan on keeping this as my everyday rom. It's fast, snappy and responsive, and most of all, very customizable :-)

Some issues which I've come across:

1. Camera doesn't work (obviously)

2. Pressing the page indicators beside the dock causes the launcher to force close

3. Holding the search key (to bring up google voice) brought my phone to a stand still, had to pull the battery

4. Force close when changing settings in ADW Launcher, not all, but a fair few!

5. Minor graphical issues eg pulling down the notification tray.

6. When I enter my pin code, I'm brought to a screen which says, "SIM network unlock PIN". I can dismiss it and continue as normal though!

7. Graphical issues while scrolling text input boxes.

8. Pocket legends force closes.

Got 1600 in quadrant, just under nexus one 2.2, this good for oc play?

I've a full day of work tomorrow, so I'll let you guys know how it treats me during the day and I'll post back here tomorrow night, but guys, keep up the good work, it's getting there, and I'm amazed at your abilities.

A+ so far boys

:-)

Edit: in bed, can't sleep. Added more issues. Ill keep testing and let you guys know tomorrow.
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
Confirmed working on my unbranded R800a. Backed up my stock rom via Clockwork Mod, flashed via flashtool to UK generic 2.3.2 with wipe data option checked, and then ran the FLASH_ALPHA.bat. Kudos to making the CM7 install such an easy process.

Downloaded SetCPU and running ondemand scaling at 1516MHz max. So sweet! Noted issues exist as posted previously - tearing on window scroll, no camera, glitchy power-off window.

Other issue (using play_beta_002):

- Strange issue where stock web app would cause reboot on launch. Downloaded Dolphin HD, worked fine over wifi and 3G, switched back to stock web app with wifi on and off and gps on/off. Could not cause reboot to re-occur.

- Phone no longer shows up in Android Market on desktop pc web browser.

- FPSe could not find the SD card, even though it showed up correctly in File Manager and unmounted and mounted fine in settings -> storage. As I'm currently playing FFVII this is unfortunate. EDIT: Thanks Nhialor, pointing to /mnt/sdcard solved the FPSe issue!

Wifi/Camera confirmed broken after using Clockwork Mod to restore stock backup, easily fixed with stock kernel FTF. Will have to remember to wipe data/re-flash via FLASH_ALPHA again before restoring CM7 backup.

Great job guys, this is shaping up to be the ultimate XP build.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
Running really well no gameloft support still though cant seem to see the sd
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
What's new in Beta002? Could we get a change log posted maybe please?

Also, if we update CM7 builds, is there any need to wipe user data?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
theres a small clog on the 1st or 2nd post
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Moving apps to SD card gives an error initially but if you do it again it works.

Facebook causes phone to reboot - tried 3 times.

There is no change log. It only says what bugs are present/fixed and it didn't change since beta1.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
you cannot install gapps properly the normal way. gapps have to be in system partition but if you install them as a normal app they will go to data partition. this may cause your problems ;-)

So please remove gappa first then reboot into recovery and try install thrm.again via recovery. have you toggled script asserts in recovery before install gapps the first time?

Please inform how it works then :-)

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ekusuperia:
Thanks for your prompt reply. If you don't mind to explain to me your statement of " toggled script asserts in recovery before istall gapps the first time ". What actually script asserts in recovery is and how to toggle it ?

Again sorry for my noob question as I am new enough for this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ncaissie:
Mine is set to that. What should it be?
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
I'm getting very good battery life. 19hrs on heavy use (wifi + browsing + gaming).
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
It's because people flash ROMs and make full wipe with non-fully charged battery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Can anyone tell me which lib files enable/disable touchpad support?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
So what you're saying is that we should always flash Roma on a full battery and not, say, 70%?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Or use the battery memory erase tool inside cwr once your battery has been charged
[Xperia Play Android Development] mr.ultraman:
im on fw 4 before flashing which in provided on first post, after flash i realise it go back to fw3.145 is it alright ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It is SOP to flash roms on a full battery.

[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
When you say "disabled advanced ip tables" that won't break WiFi tether, will it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Real quick before flashing this once it's released , did you check if PSpocket worked?

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Why don't you try it yourself? It feels great to spearhead this kind of thing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Love to, but it's very late and there is no link to CM7 27.

SHUCKLES...

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
I appreciate that someone is taking the time to make a CM7 rom for our phone and I am not ungrateful or anything so please don't take this the wrong way, but don't you think it would make this thread less of a clusterfuck if the release changes were on the first page in their respected CDMA and GSM releases?
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
This. Absolutely this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Agreed

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Since there is no downloadlink posted on first site why should there be the changelog?

J posted changelog because you guys always nagging about changes,anyway who said this is a version we will upload?

See the postings in the middle of thr threas just as information for you.

If 27 ia ready for release you will see on first page as always ;-)

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ekusuperia:
Hi Bin4ry, I have failed again to connect to my google account though I was following your instruction to toggle script asserts in recovery before installing gapps the first time. I have realized that the phone did not properly load the gapps zip file in CMW and just aborted halfway that's why I could only get Gtalk and weather&news installed but not Gmail & Market app. Appreciate your help as always.:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
FreeXPeria Team:

Changelogs should be where Changelogs are expected.

A new Version should be called when there is a new major Release, otherwise make it a sub version. (26.2 - GSM DATA working.. 27 - GSM and CDMA Data Working.. 27.2 Torch fixed .. you should get the idea..)

Also, post Changelogs of the current version in the 'Current download' post of either version (CDMA or GSM) and move all the 'old' ones into a Spoiler, where they can rot or be read by new comers and the likes.

Oh.. and only 'announce' a new version / sub-version if you're gonna release it to the public. Otherwise, don't state a version if you're talking/writing about it.. call it 'Our Current Developer Version' or the CDV.

"Yea, we got that working in our CDV allready, gotta fix a few more things and there'll be a new Version/Sub-Version out!"

Hope i could contribute in a positive way to improve your Releases and the spoiling that comes with em.

Love you guys ^_^

HearthCore
[Xperia Play Android Development] kloodee:
honestly the best rom for the play, i think v27 performance tweaks will make this rom the best choice by far, best battery life, fast, reliable, alot of customization for the user,

by the way the touch pad is not working for some gameloft games, i dont know why maybe an update needed or soemthing, but forget about it everything else rocks

thank you ! thank you this is it !
[Xperia Play Android Development] mr.ultraman:
is it right ?

any help or answer would be much appreciable
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
Wait for a gameloft update. There is nothing you can do about it atm
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
The one feature I'm waiting for is xLoud. Good job so far FXP & Bin4ry. You made this device presentable in front of other current devices. We all appreciate the effort. Ill be making a good donation once its complete. Hard work should be paid off. Good luck.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I don't think xLoud will ever come to cm7, since it's Sony proprietary code.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
No xLoud means no cynanogen. The difference is hugeee

But I understand why there is no xLoud, shame :(

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Does xLoud make listening to music have more impact? Even at max volume it sounds less than half as loud as any other phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
xLoud is for external speakers.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
changelog is posted when we finish an step

then after freezing we need to test at least 2-3 days untill we release

expect rom on monday
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
Please tell me the knew release will have a CDMA version too :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Apparently when a new firmware comes out for CDMA. Aka, maybe by mid 2012. :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
Mid 2012 or... I don't know. Last week?;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I thought it was for gsm?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
What are the bugs in the current CDMA 25 build?
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
I guess im not positive if it's applicable but verizon has a 2.3.3 ota for the r800x.

Pretty much works. I think the only bugs are:

No touchpads

Camera blank in qr code scanning?

And while its not really a bug, no extra fancy kernal abriviations:p
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
Well then i'm going to make the plunge then
[Xperia Play Android Development] Simmo3D:
Does CM look just like vanilla stock android like on Nexus S and R800x?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
No, it has some additional features, like the pulldown-menu-power-widget, a Theme Manager, MUCH more settings for how the phone works and looks, a DSP and many other things.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Simmo3D:
Thanks for the reply.. Is this worth rooting my phone for?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheAugust:
Absolutely. Root, put a new kernel in, overclock your device, give yourself tons more options, and make it look the way you want. After rooting, if you don't like it, you can always return to your stock ROM, and at least tweak it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
I would say so, but you'll need to have some basic knowledge of how these things work and your bootloader has to be unlocked, as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Hey guys will there be any chance xloud will be added to cm7? If not I am sticking with stock as I like the sound loud hehe
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
There is no way to add xLoud to the official CM7 rom. However, it is possible that something similar will be added to the sound drivers of the Rom or that Custom roms based on CM7 will feature it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheAugust:
Achotjan is working on a ROM that uses a "SE debrand engine" to feature a CM7 experience with all of the timescape and xloud/bravia content enabled. He's working out the bugs on other Xperia models and was contemplating porting to them, including the Play.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238402
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Wow. I thought that the barcode scanner didn't work at all in this rom, but it is working I can confirm. You only see a black screen, but I noticed the yellow dots were showing up. Tried to scan a barcode and it worked perfect when I guesstimated where it was lined up at.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Are you referring to a CDMA update since there is a new one rolling out? If so that would be sweet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tanzid:
My Play's joysticks have stopped working after flashing CM7..

They are not working in any game that supports xperia play.They are detecting the buttons,but not the touch joysticks.Any help?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
This is a common issue with CM7. Its fixed in FXP026
[Xperia Play Android Development] kloodee:
Its fixed in 26 but not fully, i mean the some gameloft games and others wont recognizd touchpads,try sumorai ven. It does recogniz the pads perfectly fine

Now its up to games developers to update their games
[Xperia Play Android Development] Laberkopf:
So what do i have to do to get telephny working.. Its sayin no signal.. gsm and stuff.. how can i flash the radio rom?

Are you coming from the stock rom?
