You're jumping the gun there. I appreciate the hard work they have put into this Rom and for our device and want to see them continually progressing. But I am baffled why they leave the Rom incomplete when the fixes are here for them to use, and even take out their own fixes and instead include known broken libraries. Release after release we are left with a broken Rom when they KNOW how to fix it but refuse to.

They are devolving our device at this point. The camera worked at one point, now it is broken but they keep releasing the broken version even though they have previously released a fully working version. MMS has worked in several versions of our Rom, but instead of keeping those libraries in the archive they instead put broken ones in time and time again.

Reading what I am saying rationally, you can say nothing besides, "they are holding our device back purposely for some reason". Why are they keeping it broken:confused:

The FXP project is opensource. If you want it that badly, create your own CM7 variation.

[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I did, and I used it on my phone.

But once again, that is not the point. The point is why do FXP refuse to implement their own previous fixes and instead insist on releasing a broken Rom week after week? I just want a straight answer.

Hello, looking to flash my 1st xperia play from verizon. So trying to get all the details and so. =) Ok I saw 2 diff cdma download files. One says verizon. Would I be flashing both zips or just the ones from the verizon one?

Also does this include everything I need to root it and I guess custom rom it? Im looking at the freexperia cwm thing, so just trying to get my steps in order for this model. So not sure about the bootloader either. Just a lil confused heh. Gonna be reading up on things today before I start flashing and so. So if anyone has some friendly nudges, Would be great.

I guess the main thing I wonder is, do I need to still do this 1st http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130639 or is that all already included in the zips for this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Is your bootloader unlocked? If it's not, or if you don't know, don't try to flash, you'll brick your phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok how do I check that for sure? I did this.

http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

Didnt see a section talking about bootloader unlock. So I dont know. I read some sites that said the verzion model for R800x already comes unlocked? So I really dont know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
Are you already bootloader unlocked? If so, flash the cm7 kernel with fastboot, then you'll be able to boot into recovery. Then flash the update.zip via recovery. If you're not bootloader unlocked read around the q and a section for more info on that.

Edit: you're not, refer to q and a. TMI to post here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Your bootloader it's not unlocked, as anteris says, refer to q & a section to find that out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
It is currently not possible to unlock the boot loader for CDMA phones.

Refer to http://unlock-bootloader.com

R800x is only unlockable from there

However, fastboot is already enabled.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok thanks, looking at it now.

So the CDMA flash files, I would be using both of them? Also what about the rooting process, is that included in the zips from this thread or would I still need to use the CWM thread then do this one?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trancicted:
Am I the only one who's having troubles with Root Explorer?

I'am having FC's when I want to open it.

AFAIK is the app allowed by SU.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok checked more into the QA, I can use cwm for locked bootloaders and flash a cooked rom based on stock, ok cool. Is this thread one of those that has the one based on stock? Tempted to pay the money to just get this bootloader done and do whatever, but still trying to find WHERE I would pay to. Threads talk about it, but still trying to find the thread that says pay here.

Edit: Nm just got the PM, paid the 24$ and unlocked. Time to get serious for my stuff ^^

FXP106 released
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
*STOMPS* I just got done with everything and put 105 up here! >.< Now you make me start over lol..

Question, The Gapps, Im about to install it on my verizon one, however how come that file is only linked on the gsm only files?

Also how can I restore the games that came installed on this and the playstation launcher stuff?

Edit: Also that url you put for 106 says its not avail in my country, Usa.

Edit2: Just another thing to help others out. If you had issues pressing "x" or whatever to boot into recovery.. do what I did, let it boot into the system, hook up to your PC. CMD it and with your android tools do a "adb reboot recovery" worked better for me. Would be a good idea to add to the orig posts as a backup option.

Edit3: Ok so no one does the same stupid mistake I did. I misread on a diff thread in regards to the ftf file.. So I flashed the ftf after I had CM7 running and so perfectly. Welp... time to redo all that I just did and reinstall CM7 again lol.

Edit4: How come on this rom, the bottom 3 icons vanished on the homescreen? The app open tray, phone and the 3rd one, cant rem what it was. I know I can re-add them, but odd they vanished to begin with.

Also the "Get Games" icon, Well it shows me the games for the play, similar to how it used to on stock. However when I click a game to look at or so, gives me a error and doesnt load up the marketplace for that game. The Get Apps however works. What could be the cause?

Edit5: Camera is force closing, is this a known bug or so? Edit: Nm just read about a cdma camera patch, will try to find that now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
FXP: just a suggestion, use mediafire for the links, it's much easier, and you can still have a download count. AND it's available in all countries (as far as I know).
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
It's a bug I've seen in adw.launcher, and it's the single biggest reason I hate adw.launcher.

Also, just a small running monologue about your ... accomplishments? :p

Glad to see that you're learning, and hopefully having fun
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
Sounds like you found adw's hidden dockbar. If I remember correctly swipe up on the dockbar to reveal it and down to hide it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Yeah, the hidden dockbar rears its ugly head sometimes. Should be an option to choose between only having one or the other.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Really, that's what it is... i don't like that feature... at all...
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
if you wan't to disable the hidden dockbar goto Settings>ADWLauncher>UI Settings>Dockbar uncheck it.

Dude, I understand your pain. And frankly, it's why I have been watching this thread since it's inception, but have yet to flash a CM build to my CDMA Play. It's my daily driver and I can't afford messing with it too much. My Touchpad is my Android toy.

But you did get your straight answer here:

They have too much on their plate, and as such we're going to have to suffer through some pain.

This is a development thread. Let's develop! I honestly don't know all the additions/modifications it truly takes to make a clean installed FXP build usable on CDMA devices. But I would assume that it wouldn't be too difficult to collect all the patches required, and create our own update.zip that can be flashed in ClockworkMod, making an install go like this:

Wipe

Flash FXP CDMA update.zip

Flash known patches

Reboot into setup

This could probably become an entirely separate thread.

Thoughts? I think step 1 is to collect a list of known things that have to happen to a CDMA build to become pretty solid. The list is scattered about this thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok Thanks to all about the adw, I figured that is what it was, but still annoying heh. And yea, Ive been around too long with xda. New phones just take time to learn right. I have everything done tho. =) Only issue I have is like I said, the "Get Games" isnt working.

The cdma camera patch.. I wish that was included in the build as others have said too.

Im not even using verizon service. I use T-Mobiles. However.. sipdroid + google voice.. means phone calls on it. ^^

I wouldnt mind either if the vibration was abit stronger for the key press stuff. So used to htc sense vibration.

As for what I did last night, I copied my titanium backup from my streak 7 and imported it into xperia play, followed by cursing at how many times it stalled out cause of low internal memory.. >.>

So I do have one question, is there a way to auto install to SD memory vs using the internal? I also saw an option in titanium backup that says move user apps to sd. Is that the safe to do on the play? Or should I just use the phones application ability to move them manually? (I am used to my G1 which auto has things set to the SD, my streak 7 has enough memory, and my hd2 is running off sd card anyways)
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
cyanogenmod has the option in its menus, or goto terminal emulator, type in "pm setInstallLocation 2" and reboot
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Cool. Thanks, Ill try that, so question, will it auto move everything over or just new stuff? Sometime I gotta get a class 6 instead of this class 2 on it as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Just the new stuff, but it also allows you to move more of the old stuff
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Interesting. Question then, if the SD card was removed, does it mess up the phone (like it used to on apps2sd or so stuff) Not that I really plan to ever do that while the phone is on. (Love my tablet.. seperate sd card slot heh)
[Xperia Play Android Development] beatblaster:
FXP, there's really no way to move the download to a host that's friendly to the US? I mean, I'm trying to use proxies from Brazil, Columbia, Argentina - hitting the download link through all of them is saying that the download is unavailable to our country.

Help us out please? Or maybe you know of a proxy server that works for us in the US?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Yeah..... tried more proxies from India, China, Japan, Russia, Belgium, France, Germany - they all say they don't service our countries and I have verified the proxies are all working OK as well. I guess there won't be any CM7 goodness for me today :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
It doesn't matter what country anyway. uploadit has problems with their free download, it's been offline since this morning.
[Xperia Play Android Development] beatblaster:
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for confirming that. I was unaware it was down. Back to waiting patiently :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
The free download is currently not available - Please try again later! Premium account users are not affected by this temporary limitation.

This is what I've been encountering all day, and this.

All of our free-download capacities are exhausted currently.

Please get a Premium Account if you want to download this file immediately, otherwise you'll have to wait a few minutes in order to download this file.

You'll be redirected to the register site in 11 seconds…

So MAYBE they'll be fixed by the end of the day, but I doubt it since uploaded is poorly maintained.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Honestly... can someone please just post a working link to it? Uploaded.to is a bad choice for many people on this forum due to IP range restrictions placed by them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I am sorry, but using a proxy to evade US website bans can be considered ILLEGAL and so for some that is not really a viable option.

@FXP, upload it to your Google Code page, that way download count is visible and download is direct, otherwise people will start mirroring and you won't get an accurate download count :)

UL.to has restrictions on proxies anyway, it has a way to detect them.

I second this idea
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Click the thanks button then lol, if you don't want to you don't have to.

Speaking on the dev side of this, it is hard to find space for hosting because you A: would like a download count

B: if you could get good space and bw it would be good

C: usually as a dev you need a premium account, believe me, there are lots of "silent" users browsing this forum, there is no way I would have thought that 1500ish people would have downloaded XperiaTweak.

Its kind of bad too, because if you are young like me (sixteen to be precise) then you don't have much money, and can't afford to pay for hosting. I don't ask for donations because I learn mainly from looking at other peoples work, they deserve the donation as they sort of learned me how to do it in a non direct way.

Although, I have asked for webspace, for direct ROM downloads, because I am making an app for all my rom downloads, where you download directly.

I currently have hosting but it is free and couldn't withstand more than 3 downloads at a time.

[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
Uploaded to is a pain in the ass. Not working from India. Can you please upload it to mediafire? Its one of the best alternative.

I have some questions. It'd be great if someone can explain these to me.

1. Why is there no gtalk with voice & video? I ported the talk 1.3 apk from the stock 2.3.4 rom and it works. But fc's when trying to video Call.

2. I'm on FXP105 AND I get this weird thing where my phone display switches off as soon as I move the gamepad slider up a little. For the screen to comeback on I have to press the power button twice. I tried reflashing the kernel but no help. Tried using the leaked 4.0.3 rom and again the same thing. So now I'm scared its a hardware problem.

Can someone advice me on what to do? Anyone else facing this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Serge SB:
Problem with FXP

For a couple of months I've been using CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 on my R800i GSM with (officially) unlocked bootloader, and yesterday decided to upgrade to FXP106. Full background is: first I had 4.0.1.A.0.283, then flashed 7.1.0.1 and everything was ok (except known bugs, such as lack of vibration).

So, because of outdated base rom, I flashed SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42, as it is said on the first page of this topic. 042 flashed ok, then I flashed boot.img from FXP106, went into loader, wiped user data, wiped cache and finally installed FXP106 and applied gapps as well.

The phone booted ok, until launcher's homescreen appeared, and then completely freezed (no response to neither hardware buttons, nor touchscreen). After half a minute or so, the phone rebooted for itself. Then it stuck at the 'droid on skate' logo: cyan circle arrow stopped rolling around. And again, after a minute or so phone rebooted. And again and again.

I tried using 4.0.2.А.0.62 instead of 042. Same result. I tried not to apply gapps, again same result. I tried FXP105. Ok, you got the idea:)

Currently I flashed back to 7.1.0.1 through 4.0.1.A.0.283, and the phone works ok.

I have conjecture, that maybe it can be somehow connected with overclocking. Could you please tell me, what frequency is used in FXP? How can I change it for myself? (assuming, that the phone cannot boot normally - no way to use SetCPU - and I'm using Windows on my desktop computer) Currently, my cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 settings are: mode INTERACTIVE, minimum 122 MHz, maximum 1516 MHz (that are the default values, I hadn't changed them).

Another conjecture is: maybe 042 flashes badly? (nevertheless, FlashTool says, that everything is ok) Question is: maybe it is neccessary to lock bootloader before flashing 042? Or maybe after flashing 042 I need to boot it, and change some settings?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
Try formatting /system as well as /data and /cache before flashing
[Xperia Play Android Development] Serge SB:
Thanks, I'll try this. Anyway, what are the CPU frequencies, that are used in FXP by default? I just want to be sure, that the problem is not with overclocking.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
CM7 uses Stock frequencies (default) afaik.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PandaPropaganda:
I finally got it! Thanks again to the FXP team, but next time could you please not upload it to uploaded? x_X
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
You need to factory reset before you install cm
[Xperia Play Android Development] Serge SB:
If you mean wiping data and wiping cache (inside clockworkmod) after I flashed boot.img and before installing zipped FXP - yes, I do wipe at this point.

Question, for you all, is the volume lowish? Just wondering, never had the xperia before to compare between roms. So just trying to figure it out. I know with the G1, Lucid rem had a config to increase the volume gain. Do the newer roms still have this ability?

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
You can from settings, display. I know I did.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Dont know, Im using 105 till 106 is able to be downloaded for USA... I just manually adjusted the brightness and its never changed on me. CDMA
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
You can't change auto brightness since it uses a sensor in the front facing camera, anyone who says otherwise is a liar. And the low volume, I don't have that and I'm on 106, but you can change it in the dsp manager I believe
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You can, and I certainly am not a liar. We use ALS which is an ambient light sensor, which can be switched off easily, all you need to do is edit one file...

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
You're right, I should have said without damaging your phone lulz. And yes, it does start to cause damage because the phone is told to do so and editing lines will make it run the operation and force it not to do so which can easily cause hardware failure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No actually, it does not cause damage. It disables the ALS which is exactly what the stock ROM does when you turn it off. It does exactly the same thing.

I'm sorry, but if you are suggesting disabling auto brightness is harmful to your device, I can only question why you are posting on a forum that is all about modifying your phone.

I am the developer here, so don't tell me I am wrong and I am damaging my device when I know fine well that I am not. Next time at least do some research on the topic before posting garbage telling developers that they are wrong.

I have been waiting to try this ROM out, but I have a couple questions.

First do the touchpads work? I have read that they are now working and I just want to confirm, also will I be able to use the Games Laucnher for this rom? And my last question. I tried to download the 2 files for the ROM on the first post for CDMA and the first file (i'm guessing the kernel) is not available for download, while the ROM itself is. Is there a new download link for the Kernel for CDMA phones? Thank you all.
