Man, Jerpelea, you're on top of it! I assume we will have trackpad support among other misc bug fixes in this?

Edit: Looks like the trackpads are not working in Minecraft yet still. I will try to do a hard reset real quick instead of upgrading from my previous build to see if there is a difference.)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm doing a fresh backup in CWM, and will test this update without doing a wipe and see if it clears up my touchscreen edge issue.

EDIT: Still seem to have the edge of screen issue, and trackpad issues still exist after doing a simple upgrade with flashing the new kernel then installing update.zip/gapps.zip

well i appreciate the thanks and will give you one back

oh, and thanks for the link too :)

Ok sorry, mirror removed :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but... which update.zip file do we have to put inside the sdcard? In the 7z file attached I find only fastboot+dependencies, the .cmd script and the kernel + system images. Or are those future-oriented generic instructions?
[Xperia Play Android Development] evo6:
Hi,

This looks amazing great jobs guys :). Just wondering do the preinstalled Play games still work with this? For example Crash Bandicoot?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
There is no zip file indeed as we can't acces recovery I think..

Just open the cmd to flash the ROM :)

Btw,

Liveview application needed an update for it to work. Unfortunately my liveview is not even found by the device with cm7 (worked fine on stock rom with blagus costum kernel).

Edit: never mind, my liveview device failed :( Wasn't the fault of cm7
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
tested and it works
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
Is anyone else having trouble to restore to the stock firmware? fastboot just hangs at:

sending 'system' (xxxxx KB)...

and clockworkmod says it can't format the system partition.

Tried fastboot with several .img files and clockworkmod with the one I have.

Edit: snesdroid can't read sd card and can't copy files from sd card with standard file manager.

Edit2: added clockworkmod recovery log
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Use Flashtool mate
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
You are using very old version of recovery, update to latest please.

Doh, my bad :o

It's booting to stock now :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Prozel:
I tried and it worked just fine. However, when I restored back Wi-Fi didn't work. To get it working again just flash this stock kernel with flashtool:

[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Damn i was waiting for the camera to be fixed before i flashed this. now i see that there is no data connection after the new firmware update :( is there any work around? or eta for a fix? And if i do try this rom, will the data connection work if i flash back to stock? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
Can we get a change log for CDMA fxp25
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
#1 rule of Cyanogenmod, don't ask for dates, eta's, etc...

Yes, if you flash back to a regular ROM, data will be fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
So before I flash this update, is data actually broken in FXP025? Or is it working now since the chevyowner post?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Data has never been broken on CDMA devices, except for the occasional fluke.

GSM devices are the ones having issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aightu:
Hey guys.

I kinda have a problem. I just flashed this rom tonight. And i cant seem to get past the screen with the skating android icon. (Boot gif). At first i thought this was because i didnt flash the ftf file first. So i flashed the ftf file. Then flashed the boot.img, and did the update.zip from the SD card.

Still no changes. How can i make this work? Because i would be very dissapointed having to flash back to a stock rom.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Bet you forgot to wipe data.

Go back into the recovery. Wipe data/cache, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then try to install the update .zip again. Then wipe again for good measure and then reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aightu:
Edit: I got the rom up and running now.

It just wont let me enter sim-card code. So it wont connect to any network.

Anyone seen this happen before? I tried turning on/off. But it wont seem to give me the screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I just installed FXP025 CDMA after wiping data/cache and wiping dalvik cache. Everything is working as it should, and my extreme edge issue still exists when pulling the taskbar back up. It seems like I can touch the extreme edges everywhere else including all keyboards, and when sliding down from the top to drag the taskbar down. :confused:Bizarre.

Anyways, the ROM works fine other than not being able to send MMS. I am reverting back to Chevy's original modded FXP022 for the time being.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
I can verify (CDMA FXP025)

1) Flashing new kernel and rebooting without wiping cache causes no boot.

2) Flashing new kernel, rebooting into recovery and flashing rom without wiping data/cache causes Android Skateboard loop.

3) Flashing new kernel, recovery, flash rom and wipe data/sd same result, Android Skateboard Loop.

4) In addition to step 3, wiping Dalvik cache before rebooting finally allows the phone to boot fully into CM7.

Edit: Verified camera and flash work.

[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
I had that happen with one of the releases too using fastboot and the recoveryplay.img which I'm guessing you did try using CM7 recovery and installing

[Xperia Play Android Development] FK1983:
What is the difference between this and the standard (latest) firmware? features, differences etc? what is the aim of CM? I looked on their site and can't really see much that is different to be honest unless i'm missing something?

I have never heard of CM7 before :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
Regardless of any other features, "Reboot" makes this worthwhile to me... how any system, even a smartphone, could leave out a reboot or restart command is beyond me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FK1983:
I use Quickboot so already have a reboot menu :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
The idea is to provide a consistent user experience across devices, but still taking advantage of each phone's (and tablet's) capacities and taking them to the full extent, and to do so using Open Source software. A Samsung Galaxy S, a Sony Xperia X10 and a HTC Desire are very different devices with different capabilities and, out of the box, very different user experiences, but CyanogenMod equalizes them to the same version of Android (the latest one available in the repos, 2.3.5), the same UI out of the box (ADW Launcher) and special capacities which phone makers don't include by default (overclocking, root, and so on). Still, you can customize the hell out of the device, and if you're savvy, you can even build a ROM using the CM base, such as the MIUI folks do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
It's also to bring the pure Google Android experience to phones where Android is highly customized. I answered your post in General with a lot more detail though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aightu:
Im flashing back to a stock rom. This rom has great potential but there are still to many little things that make it unusable for me at this time. Ill be keeping track of the progress though, and the day im gonne be flashing and using this rom. You guys will get a nice crate of beer from me ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I'd say that all of these things are contingent on the base of the install.

I ran into none of these issues at all. However, I did not install from a stock system. I upgraded from the previous FXP022 build (and flashed gapps while upgrading). I had no issues. Then I wiped all caches and data, reflashed, and still have no issues. I havn't been on the stock build for a while, so this could have something to do with it.

As far as I know, the only issue that i can find anywhere is that the touchpads still don't work 100%. And I really want to play minecraft :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hemingsent:
Just flashed this on my cdma phone and it works great! Thanks guys.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm playing around with the pointer location tool in Dev Tools. There are only two spots on the bottom of the screen that I can successfully hit past 800 pixels. One inbetween the search and menu button, and the other above the back button.

I can seem to trace all around the bottom of the screen, I just can't start from past 800 pixels and trace. Also sometimes I can get a trace upward from the very bottom if I hit perfectly in the middle, in-between home and menu.

Basically the extreme edges are ok on the left and top, it's the right and bottom I am having an issue with. Note, this doesn't happen at all in the stock or frasertags rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hairdewx:
Works pretty good for me too, but I realized I like the xplay launcher and the verizon store to buy those exclusive games...
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
I like the xplay launcher as well.

I tried to install it, but it wont install.

Does anyone know why?

Im also having a problem with Asphalt 6. I have to restore it with Titanium everytime I want to play. If I quit playing and load the game later when I press a button or the touch screen or wait for the intro animation to end it force closes, but if I go restore with Titanium and immedialty launch I can play untill I exit and come back later where I have to do it again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hairdewx:
There are probably some dependencies missing trying to install the xplay launcher. There are also some Gameloft game compatibility issues, but I don't know if this is one of those issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Hi, CDMA phone here. I used fastboot flash boot boot.img from zeusc_beta_FXP025

i could not get into recovery using volume keys so i used

fastboot boot recoveryplay.img

i wiped cache and data

i then chose update to flash, choosing update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaPlay-R800x-KANG-signed.zip from the zeusc_beta_FXP025

I'm getting an error

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "R800x" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "R800x" || getprop(ro.product.board") == "R800x" | getprop("ro.product.board") == "zeusc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "zeusc"

E:error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.10-RC1-XperiaPlay-R800x-KANG-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I now have a phone that will not boot past the free xperia bootloader screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Read through the thread, especially the last few pages. Several posts about getting into recovery being done by hitting the Back key, not volume keys.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
I managed to get into recovery by using fastboot boot recoveryplay.img :) Issue is more that i can't flash the rom. Unless the recovery in the kernel is different than the recoveryplay img i'm using.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Did this change recently? I thought it was only doom's kernel that used the back keys and there was a notion to have it changed uniformly, but i didnt think it had been done yet.

Yes the recovery is different. It doesnt identify your device as an r800x like the freexperia native one does. You can flash with the recovery you have but you need to remove the asset line from the update.zip file. Open it up and go into META > com > google > android. Inside there you will find a file called updater-script. Erase lines one and two (the assert lines), and resave the zip file and try to flash it. You will probably have to rename it to something different because clockwork will cache it like it was unless you want to reboot again back into recovery.

At worst, and i know this is a long way around, but the cyanogen boot image that you flashed WILL boot a stock rom. So flash the stock system (fastboot flash system system.sin) and then boot it as far as you can go. The from adb, drop into an adb shell and run this command: reboot recovery. the phone will restart into the cm recovery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Hmm. Possibly. I could have gotten the two confused.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
Yeah I was starting from a stock ROM. I'm very happy with the progress of this project.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
how about reboot recovery instead, just in case anyone else is stuck. Thank you for the help and pointing me in the right direction.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
'reboot recovery' is an adb shell command, which only works if the phone is booted up into the OS.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Ahh, which I was. Sorry for any confusion. All fixed now. And I like cm7. Haven't searched thread yet, but worth mentioning, everything except mms seems to work :-)

Very impressive work by all involved.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
And I'm dumb.... lol

I always do that. Every time i talk about that command i write reboot bootloader in there and then have to correct myself. On most phones, reboot bootloader actually works. It's how you flash sbf files on motos and other devices like that.

My original post has been fixed, but my dumbass legacy will live on forever in your quote :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] IronCross1788:
I have a verizon R800x (CDMA) I got the CM recovery to finally work. But I cannot get the damn rom to boot, wont even find the "update", and when I didnt rename it and left it the origional name, it wont load up. Can someone tell me what to do exactly, this is the first Xperia Ive owned, im usually an HTC fanatic when it comes to android.. ANY help would be appreciated
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
Make sure you clear the data/cache and dalvik cache after loading the ROM in Recovery. Depending on your setup it may not boot otherwise like mine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Sorry if this is a bit off topic. But why can we not access ADB from recovery like other devices :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
i think the reason there is no mms in FXP025 is there is a missing file.

IMO it is libreference-cdma-sms.so

as for adb from recovery i can, but sometimes (i thnk it denpends on the kernel i am using) i need to replug the phone for the computer to see it. for example if i used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
this lib is not loaded linked to any other lib
[Xperia Play Android Development] IronCross1788:
Ive dont that, I keep doing it, but its still not telling me..

"assert failed".. I have the CM recovery, and im using the FX025 rom for the verizon r800x...

Still nothing.... anything I might have missed maybe? idk personally
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I addressed this exact issue a page or two back. You need to remove the assert line from the update script or use the correct recovery. If it's telling you that, you have to remove the line. Go back through my posts and you'll see it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
Anyone else notice that after flashing FXP025, when plugging in your phone to your computer USB, that the phone charges, but charges very slowly while phone is in the OS?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ellises:
New bug (as I figure) as of today using the CDMA rom, every call I make, every call I get, the phone keeps putting itself on speaker phone even through I keep telling it not to.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Have you tried wiping data, cache and dalvik in CWM to see if that maybe fixes the issue.

Edit:

I just installed every thing after running FTS V05 and I do not have the issue with speaker phone. So if I were you I would wipe everything and that should fix, if not then reinstall everything and remember to wipe before installing CM7, and you should have no issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LloydSev:
I am running CDMA FXP025 and have not experienced the speaker phone issue either.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Has anyone been able to play any psx games, whether they are the ones that came with the phone, or ones created from their backups. I just flashed the newest CDMA build last night but now I can not get any of the games to play including crash bandicoot. Every time I open the game I get this message:

The application preinstalledservice (process com.sonyericsson.android.preinstalledservice) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

It just keeps force closing. I do not remember this happening before, maybe I did not try it before. And then once it force closes I get another error stating it could not authenticate the licensed content. I have sifted through about 20 pages of this thread and have not seen anyone else stating this problem.

Edit:

Well I replaced the preinstalledservic.apk with the one from the sytem dump in this forum and got the force close to stop but now it just says updating and never does anything, I am going to keep experimenting.

So, is the only thing that is still "broken" in the CDMA version the touchpads?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I think MMS is broken in the official FXP025 release. I had to revert back to chevy's original modded FXP022.
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
I've managed to unbrick my device and get CW7 to boot again. I still can't flash back to another rom via flashtool.

My phone won't connect to the network however. Is there any way to flash just the radio?

Is there a way I can convert .sin files to .img so I can restore them via cwm recovery?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
CWM recovery doesn't flash img files. It can restore nandroids (based on a few different things, these can contain .img) or it can flash a .zip with the appropriate arguments.

.sin files can be flashed directly with fastboot. Did you try that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Yeah, fastboot times out trying to flash the system partition.

Is there a way I can convert (or does there exist) a stock rom .ftf as a zip file and restore via CWM recovery or Rom Manager?
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
What command are you using. I know for the kernel.sin the command is:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

I would assume it would be the same for the system.sin. I have not flashed the system.sin file but I do flash the kernel on a daily basis.

Did you not make a nandroid of the stock sytem? Naughty naughty if you didnt. Thats what i use to get back to stock. I just flash the kernel.sin file then use the recoveryPLAY.img to get into CWM and flash my stock nandroid.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
Well, I found out it's normal that charging via PC is MUCH slower than using charger.

Neil's backup is ready, uploading now. I'll post it in a new thread: it's actually a master backup of 4.0.A.368, so if it works it may have its good value, as everyone could flash it from CWM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] neil_swann80:
Really? That would be so very helpful!

I managed to convert system.sin to system.img with 'sin2img' from the "OFFICIAL 4.0.A.2.0.368 ROM", flashed via CWM recovery. I then installed the CM7 update.zip and gapps.zip, still no phone capabilities, so I guess the radio isn't in system.sin.

I have learned a lot from f-ing my phone up, about the android system. I WILL definitely be making a nandroid backup in future before I rush off tweaking again.

I don't know if I said this here before: Phone and 3G are NOT working for me in the last CM7 updates (23 and 25). I'm not sure what's wrong, but we just won't get network. It's an issue from CM's side.
