My card is a 32gb, and I had over 10mb of space left after I made the nandroid. And before I flashed the modified FTS I had restored the nandroid a couple times and everything worked fine, however since installing that modified version I cannot flash any other rom but the modified, even using flashtool to restore to stock Verizon ftf it will flash but when i go to boot it never gets past the sony ericcson screen. I even restored the original kernel / bootloader and everything just wont work. Nothing I try will work except flashing the modified version of the FTS Rom..... I am at a loss... as I just dont understand why its doing this. Every Rom I try (your original FTS V05 and the stock Rom) gives me either ericcson logo forever, or if I try a nandroid restore.... MD5 mismatch.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
10 Megabytes? I wouldn't trust a nandroid backup if all I was left with was 10 MB...

If you mean GB, then you can try and fix the MD5 on your PC, there are tutorials online.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Sorry just noticed, I had over 10gb of storage left on my card, NOT 10mb... my typo

K, just realized from reading the comment about tutorial for repairing MD5 mismatch. And resolved the issue. I accidentally renames the folder the backup was in. But had a question everyone. THe Verizon Stock ROMs volume was really really loud but in an awesome good way. However the FTS V05 ROM I installed from my previous post (not the one listed from the OP) volume is really quiet, I cannot even hear my navigation and or music.. and yes the volume is up all the way as loud as it can go. The navigation does not do landscape mode unless I open the gamepad, otherwise its in portrait mode. Does anyone have any ideas how to hack the phone to make the volume loud like it was on the original firmware? Right now the volume sounds like its running at half volume. Thank you to all in advance, and nay comments/suggestions are appreciated.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
Volume is an issue I am having with this rom as well. With the stock rom the volume was very loud and it was one of the things I loved about the device. Although I am really diggin FTS V05 the low volume is really bugging me. I think I will be going back to stock unless I find a way to increase the volume some how.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Hey ya'll. Sorry if it seems like I am ranting on this ROM my last few posts. I am not, I really like the ROM just anxious to get the bugs out. I found a flashable zip of xLoud for the X10 and I am going to try it on my Xplay to see if it works, this zip is for 2.3 and up.

Here is the link if anyones intersted in trying it. I will post my results. (It doesn't work, gives me an error about amend scirpting or something like that....)

http://www.multiupload.com/091CTY7NDW ---- DOESN'T work.... too bad...

Also, I got my first phone call on this ROM and noticed the answer and cancel sliders are all messed up. someone posted a photo I think on this thread about it and I dont know if there is a fix for it or not. If there is a fix would someone mind pointing me in the right direction? Thank you

Also, camera does not work...freezes when I take a photo.......is there really this many bugs or am I experiencing an unusual amount of issues that no one else is having?
[Xperia Play Android Development] HankKing:
It really is a great rom performance wise, but as you noticed some features are broken or absent. For now it is what it is and its up to you to decide if you want all the features or blazing speed.

For a more direct response yes some features are broken, no its not just you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Is the OP still working on this ROM? Maybe I miss read but I thought I saw somewhere that he no longer had the xplay and had moved on from this ROM. If thats true has someone picked up where he left off to fix the issues? If I had any idea how to fix the ROM I would. I am not demanding someone to work on it for me, just curious. The performance is awesome.... just hopeful as this ROM has a lot of potential.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
He currently no longer has the device, and unless he has one donated to him he really has no means of moving forward with development. Its really a pain to develop for a device that you do not own. It also makes for a very long turn around for updates because you have to wait on others to report back with issues. With out a device it is impossible to recreate and fix those issues in a timely manner.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
As das7771 said, it is very time consuming to build for a phone without owning the device. I built this rom in my spare time, it was the first custom rom for the play, It works on the 800x however from the reports its not perfect, if i still had the device i work be working on the new firmware, because I have not got the device any longer i have not worked on anything as my time is limited due to my family life.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I understand. I would like to thank you for developing this rom. Hopefully the community can pick up and carry the torch for this rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Im fielding up to 5-10 private message requests a week for this rom to continue on, for the "source", for me to hurry up and use the newest firmware etc etc

I no longer own the device.

I have no $$ to purchase the device outright.

I would accept donations or a lent device to create a new rom, but as it stands this rom is now officially discontinued unless circumstances change.
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
What happened to your old play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Goodbye.Thank you for your work,we all appreciated it.Good Luck
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
He sold it to finance his HTC Sensation.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Wonder if anyone could pick up on the CDMA side of things and fix the only 2 bugs left, camera not working, and call slider slightly cut off? That is all that is needed for this to be a fully working complete ROM for both CDMA/GSM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
it is interesting to see in the screen shot posted a few pages back the sliders for the phone are AOSP style, while on the GSM play I had the sliders where SE style sliders..

I am very busy at the moment, but have a theory that will fix the sliders and make them appear correctly, If I get a chance tomorrow night ill make a little test, if not maybe on Wednesday.

As for the camera not working, there are mixed reports, it works, its slow, it does not work? if you can pastebin the logcat we might be able to fix these two issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bearusa:
I say fairplay 2 you sir.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Well my sensation is being returned due to dust under the screen.. Fairly annoyed

On another note i've got some time tonight, trying to find the cause of the slider bug
[Xperia Play Android Development] xanderharris86:
so I decided to go back to the nandroid of zero_1_2's fts backup after going through all the problems with the new CM fxp41.... now that I"m back to this I'm still having problems with my camera, what crucial step did I miss?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Camera was always broken for CDMA devices as far as I know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xanderharris86:
I had camera working in early September, and I could have sworn it was using this rom, maybe not though... what rom/kernel might I have been using? It was definitely something custom... but maybe not a custom kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
I think the camera was working for a while. I think this patch will get it working again.

Have not tested it as i don't want to flash my phone right now
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I never had any problems with the camera. Which kernel are you using? I think I was using DoomLord's version 2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15805471&postcount=2

The only issues I had were sending and receiving multimedia messages and the incoming call glitch.

might wanna change your title from [DISCONTINUED] since your continuing :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Good point, changed
[Xperia Play Android Development] Virome:
Wat don't you ask for more donations? Do something like Doomberg is doing now...? I'm willing to donate... :-D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
if you think his post is useful, use the donate button!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Actually I am considering selling the sensation when it is back from repair and getting another Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
What's the reason behind that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
its great if you do.!
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
My sensation like many got dust under the screen, upon return with a new screen I was then presented with the dreaded touch screen problems many have and the fix's did not work so I sent it back again.

Sick of using my older phones in the mean time.

Never had a drama with the play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
Need any r800x testers :3?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I am hoping to get 800x working as well, but for now I want to get a stable 800i build out and then work closely with the 800x owners to get it working.

The desired result will be a single clockwork script that identify's the phone and patches it correctly.

As far as I know, from reading there is no newer firmware solution for the 800x as of yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u need help with CWM scripts contact me via p.m.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iliketrains:
Great Rom. Loving it so far. Couple of questions though. Is there a known way to fix mms, the back camera, and/or the low volume?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I'm hoping to get all of the theme finished up tonight, then start modding the system.

Thanks to @technologic797 for testing here are some quick pictures of progress
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
We can't see anything... Reupload please
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
To Those who like my rom and would like to help out

please donate to my movember and help raise funds for mens health

WIFI isnt working for me, there any problems?
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
+1. Mens health is seriously neglected...heck, health is seriously neglected...
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Discontinued.

I have moved onto the Motorola RAZR
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
This has been discontinued for months, why bother resurrecting a dead thread that hasn't been posted in for nearly 3 months?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Because I just had someone send me a PM asking when the new version was coming out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Thanks for your work, have a fun time! :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I would recommend that you close this thread to save yourself the headache in the future.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Sorted out all my Q's. Made my own, but the Bootup animation didn't work. Which option do you choose to have it install to?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
/system/media
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
I picked that one, Galaxy S GB but it still doesn't work. Hmm...

Could you explain how to cook this into an img.

I have the 2.3.3 .145 img. I have the modded framework and system ui.

Step by step would be MUCH appreciated. :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
No offence, anyone can make a themed system.img by doing a factory reset, rooting the rom and flashing a theme and then doing a nandroid and plucking the system.img..

I did not provide this .img just to "put something out there", I created this with the tweaks it has to allow people that wanted the extra features and the light system to play with... if you want to publish your theme just put it in the theme section mate.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
V0.2 uploading

there will be no more system.img releases after this I hope to get my edify script working for update.zip

Edit: ONLINE NOW
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Don't see why you're getting ratty at me, I only asked a question. That's how people learn. As I said earlier, I'm new to Android...
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Chill mate

I'm not ratty and meant no offence just saying...
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
download link is not working for me, tried it with two different browsers (chroms and IE)

a mirror would be great :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Just tested link and its working fine, although I know some countries have issues with mediafire I prefer it for downloading as there is no waiting and download speed is fast... Uploading mirror to multiupload now... will take some time sorry my upload is not fast
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
thanks :)

no probs about it taking long, i dont mind

im in the UK BTW, i dont usually have problems downloading from mediafire but today it wont even open the home page, i have no idea why
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Mirror is now online...

Im off to bed
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
thanks very much :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Got it all sorted. :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
so how many users are actually using this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm a happy user of your image plus Blagus' kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
im also using it, bloat free + root = win :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
I would definitly use it if I had to reflash my system en lost my personal back-up, but I modded my own system to exactly my wishing so I stick with my own for now. But thanks to have this option avaible when I bootloop myself yet again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
Really enjoyed using this rom, but ran into a few issues. Facebook isn't part of the build which is fine but after installing from the market I was getting constant force closes after opening the app, even after purging all data and rebooting.

Also, LauncherPro seems to do this odd thing on screen rotate where all the icons appear piled on top of each other in the top left corner until you touch the screen. Anybody else notice that? I tried flushing settings to no avail.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Yeah, from my experience, LauncherPro can be buggy, and annoying, especially in the app drawer!
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
thanks for the facebook information, I use tweetdeck and have no issues, in V03 ill ad back in the facebook services but not the application.

Ive also modified the DPI slightly and using spareparts getting good results from 210.

Im not able to do much at the moment, but will be uploading my test CWM zip which is not working for bin4ry to test, if all goes will ill drop V03 as CWM and then V04 will be a complete rom (not just system partition) this will mean there is no need to worry what firmware you are currently on..
[Xperia Play Android Development] hamz22:
this looks great. i'd like to give it a go when i receive my xperia play by hopefully the end of this week. anybody tried this on a R800a? this is the only thing im a little wary of because it has a different radio to the R800i
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
This will work fine on a 800a your system settings will display 800i however you will still being using your radio (as this does not effect it) and still accessing NextG
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Ive made a patch to flash via clockwork (3.9mb tiny)

It can be found in the second post.

And yes Ive figured out Edify finally ;) V03 will be private, and V04 will be released publicly as a No Wipe from V02 or Factory Reset From recovery coming from ANYTHING
[Xperia Play Android Development] nelly_boy:
Hi, have already sent 20$ your way....

On my wish list was that the wirleless drop outs be fixed. Can you tell me if any off these stripped down versions have the same issue?

My best guess is that it sync process that causes it. I have noticed that it tends to hang when / just before the sync icons appears. It is not exclusivly wireless to be honest. In an attempt to place a workaround, I had started dropping data when on wireless (using a widget). That made wireless a bit more stable but caused data to never restore. The only way back was reboot.

Hopefully your striped down version's have fixed this really REALLY annoying bug.

Thanks a lot, keep up the good work.

Neil
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
RE money: the $20 was sent via me to blagus but thats cool mate.

Could you please send me a kmesg and logcat after you experience a wifi drop.

Also have you tried

Quick Update: I have V03 booting from a full wipe in recovery ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nelly_boy:
HI Mate, thanks for responding.

"Could you please send me a kmesg and logcat after you experience a wifi drop."

No idea how to do that. Sorry I have haven't done programming since I got my degree in Software engineering 10 years ago. C++ and Turbo Pascal :)

Also have you tried

settings -> wireless -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy and set it to Never.

I do not have advanced settings within wireless. strange as I do remember seeing wifi never sleep somewhere ?!?! confused.com

There are loads having the same issue, hopefully someone more clever can do the above for you.

Quick Update: I have V03 booting from a full wipe in recovery

I've just given Prozel links to my preview of version 4, keen to see what he thinks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Prozel:
Just wanna say that you guys can look forward to the next update. Runs great and with new icons. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Ive chucked the preview up

Hope someone enjoys it, as for now im low on time and not getting much encouragement from my family to keep working on roms and playing with phones.. I had a small interest from my wife when I got my first and only donation...

I will bring more to you guys, but when I am not sure.

happy days ahead, Looking forward to CM7 with Camera until then ill just stick with this
[Xperia Play Android Development] kloodee:
thumbs up FrAsErTaG, this image actually stopped me from selling my play ! i hate using my android without the percentage battery built in + i felt my play was like an iphone(no custom roms)

i just noticed one thing i don't know if it's only me or no, the sensitivity of the touch became weaker, seriously i should tap an icon few times till it recognizes my finger touch , weird right? but it reminds me of the first stock rom, any idea? do i just need to reflash it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I have not experienced this, the device is much snappier then stock..

Has anyone else experienced touch screen issues?

Im running the stock kernel...
[Xperia Play Android Development] kloodee:
i think it has nothing to do with the rom it self, i installed it yesterday,everything was ok, in the morning i faced a very bad touch issues, i restarted the play, now its back to normal, but im sure while using the first stock rom 181 , the touch screen was worse than this rom, it might just be my fingers !

as for the contacts i keep tapping the name i want to call, then choose edit before calling then the green phone :P this partually solves the problem of contacts
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Im just using "Dialer One" from the market I didnt even know the issue existed till someone pointed it out :o
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
What are the names of the icons that are responsible for the volume background? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I'm off to bed, but you can use apktool split the apk, find what you want and google "stericson auto sign" to resign the apk (signing may be unnecessary but I did it anyway)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Every time i try to flash the system image it always gives me the "too many links" error. I tried different usb ports and the stock usb cable it came with but no dice.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
I know how to do that, I just don't know the right names :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I'm off to work now, but search the file you will find what you want
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
I have not had any touch issues and feel the phone runs ALOT better than stock.

The contacts not working is not an issue. i just hid the icons and installed Go Contacts. personally think its alot better than the standard contacts app anyway.

This also gave me 2.3.3 rooted :o

Great work, thanks :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
Memory improvements with this flashed

Check out the image below of my app killer. look how much MB i have free compared to Sony Ericssons oringal (i was averaging about 160MB) now it hasnt went under 220 or so
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Officially discontinued as I just sold my play
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
really? im sorry to hear that :(

do you mind me asking why?
[Xperia Play Android Development] kloodee:
Ohh =( man you were the star of the play,i only kept my play since custom roms started by you
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Don't worry, folks. Frasertag's work, important and talented as it is, is not the only one. Thomassafca has done his fair share of things as well, and I intend to bring a revamped GP2Xperia along.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
thats good to hear, i no development is progressing for the play, i just want to keep the few devs that we actually have :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Couldn't resist tando mobile HTC Sensation at a sensational price :D

Looking forward to bootloader unlocking in August and building roms the regular way with a regular recovery... this was my first SE phone and it has been a very frustrating experience
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I have a rom build in .zip form that was for flashing via cwm.

It has issues with Superuser.

If anyone would like to attempt completing my work I can post the zip here and if you can find the issue ill amend the update.zip.

If I can get the update.zip to flash correctly and root works, I can continue to work on the play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
The superuser issues are possibly happening because you forgot to do the symlink to some directory. Double proof the directories you're rooting and you'll find the issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Double triple checked, even flashed binary's root over the top same issues.

Apps ask for root, you can grant them but it fails..

I no longer have the play...

Anyways if anyone wants to test it out ill upload it.
