My facebook patch will work fine
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
This is awesome. been using it all morning and love it.

Keep up the good work :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Does this work on 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
The base Rom was on 2.3.3 on its last release. But runs a treat.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
on 2.3.4 ?

I want this ROM :)

I have not seen any posts on 2.3.4 , but i assume the framework is differenet so the ROM wo'nt work well...
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
No. 2.3.3. Sorry, just read what I wrote and didn't realise quite how it sounded. You could give it a try though (after backing up, obviously ;-)) if you do, let me know how it goes.

Think the kernel might be different. So be gentle.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I just did the same thing as ace518, but wifi is working for me at least WPA which is what I use at home. I went to stock, then factory reset, then system.sin from UK generic, then DoomKernel v3, then Chevy's updated SemcPhone.apk from FTS v05 CDMA Patch v2. The only thing not working with the UK firmware is multimedia messaging which also didn't work in FTS v05 and the camera. I also have the incoming call glitch which was also in FTS v05.

EDIT: I then tried installing zeroROM, but I cannot get past the kernel boot screen. It constantly loops.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Glad somebody else is still looking at this. I have been very busy with work the last few weeks and unable to do even get time to flash off of stock, let alone try to get this working. Hopefully this week will do a bit better.

also, if you follow the steps blagus detailed, you can get past the looping boot, though you won't get a launcher. its a spot to start from at least.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
No problem. I really did like the FTS ROM. I was running it as a daily driver. The development stopped to stomp out the bugs, so I am hoping to help keep this going to be fully functional for us CDMA users.

I searched through all the posts, but cannot find the steps to get this past the boot looping. Mills went to detail to show progress, but didn't see specific installation steps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
My install steps were pretty straight forward. I dont ever install on top of anything else. I always wipe data, cache, dalvik, and usually system. in this case i specifically did wipe system to make sure there was no conflict there with the RIL. once the rom has been installed, the phone is rebooted into the bootloader (./adb shell reboot bootloader) and then i flash doom's kernel and reboot into the rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Thank you Mills. That was a big help. I have one issue though. How do I push a new build.prop after wiping system? I can't get the phone to boot to use adb push. I wiped system from fastboot.

EDIT: I think I'll make an update.zip for the build.prop and flash that from recovery prior to the zerorom zip file.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
was this on the r800x? (i'm asking on behalf of someone else)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The easiest way to get that build prop on there is to use adb while you are in recovery. Adb is running while you are in recovery just like when your phone is booted so you go to mounts and mount the system partition (otherwise adb won't know where to copy to) then run the command on your comp: adb push /dir/to/build.prop /system/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Yes this is from an r800x, although I recommend hard wiping like this anytime you change roms at all unless it's specifically requested that you install on top of something else.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Thanks Mills. I learned something new. I did not know that recovery gave adb access and that recovery had a format /system option. I successfully installed the ROM and kernel, and got the same as ace and you. Just a bar on top with no service and no launcher.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
For those of you who are getting no launcher, are you at least getting the setup wizard beforehand? I'm thinking maybe something it is doing is causing this problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
I took the plunge and installed this last night (0.4) - works *very* well so thanks a lot :)

However, the included version of superuser is not the latest version and when you update via the market, superuser has issues updating it's version of su. Kept failing and force closing, but finally got it to update on the 3rd reboot. Can this be updated for the next version?

Thanks again :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
No, zero. I am not getting the setup wizard. It is going straight to a blank screen with the status bar at top. None of the buttons work at this point.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Did you do a clean wipe of data? You might deleted the set up wizard

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I cleaned user data, cache, davlik cache, and system prior to installing the ROM. I then pushed a new build.prop file. This leads to a proper boot, but no setup screen. This could be the problem. We should be getting the setup screen, which after completed should allow the launcher to launch.

EDIT: I see SEMCSetupWizard.apk in zero's /system/app. I will have to see if that installed. If it did, I will see if I can manually invoke it, complete it, and reboot to see if launcher comes up. I don't have time today before work though, but I can try this tonight.

EDIT 2: If I delete SEMCSetupWizard.apk and then reboot, the launcher does work. So the setup wizard is the problem. I still have no service even after reflashing FTS v05 CDMA Patch v2. The home button does not work, but the camera and other buttons seem to be working.

EDIT 3: I just did a factory reset which got the home button working. I noticed that none of the apks from the ROM's CDMA /system/app folder are not installing. The BooksPhone.apk, SetupWizard.apk, OneTimeInitializer.apk, etc.

EDIT 4: I manually pushed SetupWizard.apk and OneTimeInitializer.apk to system/app, rebooted, factory reset, rebooted. I still don't have service nor get the Setup Screen which I am sure I need to reactivate phone for service to work. I now have to get ready for work. Hopefully this gives us some info to troubleshoot from.
[Xperia Play Android Development] opdrago:
i got wi-fi error, how can i fix it?

thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Did you install DooMLoRD's kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
I'm on stock rom with dooms kernel and when I try to install this rom it boots to a blank launcher no buttons work and I get no cell signal. I'm on r800at am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] opdrago:
thanks that was the problem.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
Did you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before installing?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
Ah ok I just did factory reset and wiped both caches, I'll try wiping all that thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
I wiped everything and even had to push the build.prop back to get it to install through CWR and it still boots to no launcher no buttons working no network signal and I can use the power button to turn it off and thats pretty much it. Is this compatible with r800at?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
You are in the same boat as the CDMA folks. I can get the launcher to open by deleting SEMCSetupWizard from /system/app. But it at least tells me that it might be a regional problem then and not a CDMA vs GSM issue.

Try deleting SEMCSetupWizard.apk by using adb in recovery and then reboot. Just curious if you will find the network and signal.

I also found that if I use the R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf which I assume this ROM is based from I get the same results.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
Yea it seems so. I was going to try to flash 2.368 generic A and try it but I doubt it will matter. I guess the best I can do is flash the newest firmware from UK and debloat it myself until something is figured out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
Is there an official firmware update for the 800x?

the 800x semcphone apk that is supplied by chevy for my rom is from the earlier rom, perhaps this is causing issues?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
how is r800x doing on this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
You very well could be correct since it is also modifying the build.prop file to add cdma properties.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
In the next release, could we include the Ice Cream Sandwich Music Player that has been extracted and is fully compatible with 2.3?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Are you giving this a go?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I have gotten some progress on it. I noticed that installing the Chevy's CDMA Patch wipes out alot of the Build.prop file installed from the R800i version. I am in the process of trying to patch the cdma properties into GSM build.prop file and install as R800i. My first attempt resulted in the same problems of no service, no buttons. I am not experienced with build.prop files so it is kinda trial and error method. If you wanna jump in, be my guest.

I been also comparing the build.prop files from the cm7 R800x ROMs with also the stock 2.3.2 build.prop.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
This does make some sense. The Verizon version doesn't have SE Home as far as I know... could very well be that the setup wizard is what is saying "use SE Home"... but it is also responsible for setting up the buttons so... deleting it will kill your Home button.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
I ended up getting it to work. I updated my fw version to the same version as your ROM base, then flashed the ROM and it took it. This is on the r800at.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
On the other ROMS we have had ported over, it appears that Google Apps will handle the home button for us... I bet you that a flash of the ROM and then google apps will make our phones work. I'll play some more with it tonight if there is no more progress by then.

Especially since the FreeXperia project just basically announced that the CDMA play was a dead device and would be getting no more support.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
If I delete SEMCSetupWizard, all my buttons work as does the launcher. I just have no service.

I have a few more ideas to try after I get home from work. (2nd shift)

EDIT: The problem isn't the build.prop for initial service. I flashed the UK generic release and have service without modifying the build.prop file. I am sure it is a piece of the problem for using phone service, but not for overall service.

I wiped data, cache, system and reinstalled zerorom - of course, no service. I then simply flashed the system files from the UK generic release without wiping anything first and I have service again. So my question, does flashing the system.sin from the UK generic release only replace system files or does it also replace data files as well?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
Curious, does that mean you got the UK room working with service and launcher and wifi?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
If you flash the system.sin with fastboot, it will just overwrite the system partition in it's entirety. It shouldn't clear out any other partitions.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
it should wipe and flash the /system partition.

This will probably undo the work that Zero has done on the /zero partition, and if it is not wiping then it will be adding back files he has removed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Yes, I can get the UK generic release ROM to the same point as Fraser's FTSv05 ROM which I assume his is built from.

Thanks. That is what I thought. So I have a theory now on getting CDMA working. From doing process of elimination, the problem is in the system files. I believe this ROM is looking for a SIM card and only a SIM card upon boot. I think our problem resides in the library files. I believe during the boot process it is not retrieving the correct vendor RIL info to load the correct RIL library. I tried simply replacing the RIL library file with the one from the UK rom with no success.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Did you try using the very newest Telephony apk and phone apk's from the 2.3.3 Verizon build? And also whatever that other one was that we were talking about a little bit back. The services one or whatever.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I haven't tried that yet. Right now I was going back to stock to reupgrade to 2.3.3 and do a system and data dump. That will be later tonight though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droiddrums:
If you get a 2.3.3 system dump can you post pls?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Already provided in the State of Development thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
I just realised that the stock news/weather widget is missing - this is something that I found pretty useful.

Is it possible to re-download this from the market anywhere?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
No, mine was just based on UK generic. I've never used Fraser's ROM before, so this definitely wasn't based on it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
He's saying the base on yours and Frasers are both the UK generic. And we have calls and data working on the generic and Frasers, just not yours.

I feel strongly that the new telephony apks from the newest build will be our key to success here. I just havn't had the time to do it myself.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Just to clarify, there are 2 generic UK Roms floating around on here. One is R800i 4.0.A.2.368 UK which I assume this is based on and the other is an older version which I can't find through search right now. Fraser's was based on the older one in which I can get his and the older UK firmware working. Unfortunately, the 4.0.A.2.368 UK Rom and this one both have the same problems.

I am still working on this and will be able to dedicate alot of time tomorrow on this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
I think this is the link you are after

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591

That's the firmware mine was based on.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Yes, that's the one.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I have hit a brick wall. I have tried everything I can think of to get the CDMA radio to work with this ROM. I have tried replacing ril library files, telephony apks, modifying the build.prop, editing the apns-conf.xml file, restoring TA backup, with many combinations in between. In the end, I have a fully functional nice ROM without service. I have researched this issue which isn't isolated to just this Xperia phones. I found that most of the time the fix is to reflash the radio which we are without files to do that.

EDIT: I have also tried the 4.0.A.2.368 UK and N. America ROMs with each resulting with no service where the MEID, PRL, Baseband, MIN are all unknown.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Now that the latest sources are available and Doom Lord has updated his kernel , it's time for an update in these stock-based Roms...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
This pleeaasse!!!

Of course I'd your busy I understand ;-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
was just thinking... and perhaps this is out in left field a bit, but was wondering. first, has anyone tried dialing *... whatever it is for activating the phone. Or, while modifying things, have we tried putting in the verizon part of the initial setup wizard? Could that be doing any settings we don't know about?

I unfortunately have been way to stressed for time lately to do anything useful on my phone. But i thought, if any of these ideas could possibly help, would be worth throwing them out there.

Also, if we have source for the GSM kernel, could we look at any other phones, and the patches that are made to GSM kernels to get them running on CDMA phones, and compare the changes and perhaps play with our kernel to get it working. Any clue if our issues exist in the kernel, or in the radio file?

/rant
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I tried adding the verizon setup and even tore apart looking in the ramdisks for our stock kernel and doomlord's kernel. What I found is that most of the files are identical with both gsm and cdma files. I haven't given up though. I have been experimenting now. I noticed that the framework.jar classes.odex file has a lot of telephony info in it. I was going to compare those. I too have been crunched for time lately.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
Only problem I've noticed so far (with version 1) is that the messaging app fc's every time I try to access the settings to turn delivery reporting off. Apart from that, running excellent. Can't wait ti get home and install version 2!
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Odd, I'll look into it.

Some sort of permissions issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
I can confirm this ( i am on version 2) not a problem for me tho. Love this rom :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
It is an issue when for some reason, your network charges you for delivery reports ;-) lol. But that is the only fault I have for this Rom :-) been running on it all day and it's going great!
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Maybe I'll replace it with the Android default. I've been thinking about doing the same with all the SE apps to kind of give a more standard Android feel. We'll see once I have some time tonight to really look at it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
any chance of some screengrabs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Since it's using the Galaxy S II theme I linked, there's not much else to see aside from the images on that thread. That may change in the future however.
[Xperia Play Android Development] antispiral:
Can this be installed on r800x?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
The rom is currently only GSM, so the R800x is not supported. I don't own one for testing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
I've figured out what the problem is and will be releasing a hotfix for it as well as an updated full nandroid backup. Basically, one of the APKs that the Samsung Galaxy S II theme tells you to delete controls all the delivery reporting stuff as well. They recommend that you remove it so that the icon doesn't look out of place in the theme in the settings menu.

Sorry about that. Uploading a fix a little later tonight.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PrzemoN:
Hi!

I've got the problem: showing me no servive!

what i can to do?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
I don't know. I'm going to need a lot more detail than that to be able to help you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PrzemoN:
my phone is

R800i

android version 2.3.2

kernel 2.6.32.9 perf doomlord

build 3.0.A.2.184
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
I think he means. What did you do? How did you install? Did you get any errors? Did you wipe first? etc..... On another note, This rom is based on 2.3.3 not 2.3.2. So if thats what your about phone is saying. Installation was not successful.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PrzemoN:
Wipe in recovery mode

userdata

caches

Dalvik Cache

install succesfull!

After rebooting rom is loading to moment, when is searching network. unforunely network is unavaliable. that moment is end for loading rom. is two options to choice

automaticly search and mannually.

but cant found any network.

i was waiting 20 min but nothimg.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
This is a ROM based on 4.0, so if yours is saying 3.0, I'm not sure what happened there. I suggest you wipe and reinstall stock 4.0, then DoomKernel, then zerorom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] PrzemoN:
ok will do!

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
i'm twitching for the 0.2.1 update! when will it be ready? ^_^ cant wait to test it!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
I would have released it, but for some reason CWM is refusing to install my zip update at all. Just saying installation failed, even though everything looks fine, the script is fine... and it all matches up to my previous ones... so yeah, not sure what is going on there.

I'll probably have something to release tonight. Sorry I couldn't get it figured out last night, I didn't have much time. (I'm a game developer who is on the final days of a project and in the middle of crunch.)

Got some more optimizing in mind for the next release as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
Awesome! Take your time if you have outside commitments :-) I tried out another Rom yesterday just to compare, and came straight back to yours. So no need to rush ;-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
All releases from now on will be in the form of flashable zips installable through Clockworkmod. Few other things I'm looking at that I don't want to talk about yet in case I can't get them done.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
excellent news!! cant wait! :) i'll be watching this space like a hawk ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question but does this rom have the galaxy SII theme thats found in the themes forum? i couldnt tell
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Yes, I wrote that it uses the theme and even linked to the original thread in the themes forum.

However, it is no longer using that theme now. Update coming soon. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
was it the theme that caused the issue with the messaging app fc? didnt fully understand what you meant with the debug :S
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
okay, thanks for clearing that up, i'll be looking forward to your next release :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
No. The problem came from a suggestion from the Galaxy S II theme page that said "remove the Sony Ericsson settings apk". That APK adds the Sony Ericsson section to the Settings application menu, at the top. They suggested that because its icon was unthemed and would stick out like a sore thumb compared to the colorful icons for the rest of the settings menu. So I removed it.

But it turns out that there's some sort of internal dependency upon it for some reason. The messaging app needed some permission that was only in place if the SE Settings apk I removed had been there at some point. (I'm not fully sure what the problem actually is yet, but it's no longer relevant anyways.)

Again, I mentioned we're going to be using a new theme, so I will no longer need to remove the APK anyways.

Hope that explains things a little bit.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
indeed it does :) thanks! i wasnt far off though, there was a relation between the two somewhere :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
I'm not quite ready for a release... a few tiny things I'd like to fix up beforehand, but if anyone wants to test out a preview release of v0.3, here you go: REMOVED

This is a zip you can flash directly from Clockworkmod. I started from scratch and found a better way of working on this stuff. The flashing script does not have any real feedback yet, so just be patient. I'll make sure that it will be much more verbose in the real release.

The zip will not force a wipe, but I recommend it.

Current things bugging me:

Small thing keeping nano from working when logged into the phone by adb shell.

Default wallpaper appears to get ignored.

SE Sync options are still in at the moment.

Let me know if you find anything that you think should be fixed. Once the release is official, I'll update the OP with all the new info, credits, etc...
