Why is this release considered stable when it seems that it doesn't work at all?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I tried to flash it again following the guide posted above. Flashing the boot image form the CM7 gives me a black screen. However flashing DoomKernel and then CM7 got me to the Cyanogen boot animation but nothing beyond that. I dont know why in the world they would list this as Stable. I even tried flashing the CDMA patch for Verizon and still got nothing other then the boot screen. Even after letting it sit with the CM logo for 15 minutes. I will keep a close eye on this for when its up and running and working. Until then I will pass. I must admit I am disappointed in this, feels too misleading with the non-functioning boot image and the listed as "stable", dunno maybe I'm asking too much. It is the first Official CM for ours Sony Ericssons.
[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
thanks so much for this info ur a proper legend ! just a quick question , has anyone sucessfuly installed the official stable version 7.1 from the cyanogens site ? .... or are people using the one on this forum freexperia, also do i need to install a kernal cause the guid provided here dosn't unless im missing something and thats what the boot image is inside the zip file of cm7.1
[Xperia Play General] maciek12:
According to guide which scottiepp sent, is it possible to install clockwork recovery menu permanently because i have installed it with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130639 this tutorial but it only boots one time after that installation and when i reboot my device it doesn't boot up even if i click volume button repeatedly. So is the CWRM attached to the img file or what?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You cannot install that image only boot it.....
[Xperia Play General] GetPatriotized:
Total noob here.

Is this a rom? I'm on a rooted rogers UK 2.3.3. will I able to use this?

Will this make my phone run faster? etc?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I just installed the official CM7.1 rom. I couldnt get it to boot with the boot image the CM7 team provided in the .zip. So i used FXP's boot image from his CM7 port. All worked fine after that :D
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I agree on this and it's the same feel i have about Cyanogen, very nice overall look and feel but tend to be buggy. I also reverted to a rom based on stock FW everytime i had a little CM adventure. Well have it the same way about MIUI ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] ashanrath:
Hey guys, I recommend you give it another shot. I just ran an MD5 check on the files I downloaded last night and it wasn't even close. I'd say the server was under too much loaded and quite a few downloads got corrupted. Try download it again, follow the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play:_Full_Update_Guide

Make sure you use the download here, and CHOOSE THE MIRROR as the first option appears to be an old file (7.1.0 instead of 7.1.0.1). Make sure you extract the boot.img again for fastboot!

Device must have booted at least once before flashing googleapps.

Allways remember that..
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
i will try it now.
[Xperia Play General] ashanrath:
Yep can confirm booting and everything all good :)

Now to check out the NDS emulators and see how the extra performance goes...
[Xperia Play General] jassired:
Mini Review with features working and not working would be great........

I'm having a play around with it now and installing apps. I should have some feedback soon.

I can say this though: God damn is it faster.
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
I was able to boot and it seems like every thing works BUT i am not able to setupp apns. is there an update.zip or something that includes them?
[Xperia Play General] silcharde:
PSXperia does not work, anything else I wouldn't know since I flashed right back to "world" rom and doom kernel immediately after noticing PSXperia didn't work, sigh...

[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
damn. Fu**ing touchpads do not work in 9mm, but in DD second wave....
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I tested on battle bears and they work. Remember the 9mm that gameloft released is yet to have full play support.
[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
the video recorder dosnt work properly nor noes the video player , reverting back to stock se :(
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
when in fastboot do we flash the boot.img or just boot it?

also within the downloaded .zip there is boot.img, meta-inf and system. when i have copied the boot.img to my computer do i leave all 3 files in the zip and put it on SD card with the 3 files still in it or do i take out boot.img and just leave meta-inf and system files to flash in recovery zip?

what .ftf do we flash with flashtool? FreeXperia one?
[Xperia Play General] ashanrath:
You read that right, you actually use the boot and flash commands.

Leave all the files in the zip (including boot.img, you only need to copy that for fastboot above) and copy to the SD card.

I was fine using the recent Nordic firmware. You don't actually have to flash anything using flashtool, once you've loaded boot.img you flash using ClockWorkRecovery.
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
My 9mm works great with the touchpads mate

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

First of all. thanks for the help and quick reply. i hit the thanks button :)

When you say flash and boot what do you mean by this?

do i use " fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
on this rom?
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
oh yea i didnt think of this lol. sorry
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Extract the boot image from the .zip. and before you flash the rom, "Fastboot flash" the kernel. Then boot into recovery and flash the whole .zip you downloaded. Just leave the boot.img inside :p

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:

Hey!

I successfully followed all the steps described in the CM wiki, but after is flashed the boot.img and did the fastboot reboot i have a black screen and cannot get into CWM. pressing the volume buttons dont seem to work. pressing the power button vibrates the phone briefly but nothing happens then. cant get it to connect via fastboot either.

any suggestions?

thanks!

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
No you need an unlocked bootloader :(

Sup guys is data working because I flashed it all working fine except for data doesnt show the 3G and yes I have configured the APN settings
[Xperia Play General] walterc:
I have the same problem...APN cannot be saved....
[Xperia Play General] ashanrath:
I've been using it for bit over a day now. General feel of the device is faster and smoother, but that was to be expected. Some improvement on battery life. Gotta say not having disable auto brightness is being a pain in the ass, got used to that from the Nordic firmware.

On the whole, I'm finding it to be an improvement over stock but it's going to come down to personal taste. For the first official release they've done a hell of an effort. Looking forward to updates.
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
anyone any ideas why im getting force closes on my gameloft games after the gameloft logo appears?
[Xperia Play General] scottiepp:
Agree with you, it runs faster & smoother.

Just one problem, my phone won't vibrate!!

Settings / Sound / Vibrate / is already set to "ALWAYS".

Even the games suppose to vibrate now became nothing...

Exactly like the vibrator is gone...

Any clue?
[Xperia Play General] LBee:
Unfortunately, those are the instructions that i followed. It is the Step 7 of the "Flashing CyanogenMod" where I'm stuck. Black screen and no reactions of the phone, except the brief vibration when holding the power button.

Is is possible that the phone gets into the CWM but it's the screen that somehow is turned off? Just guessing here ;)

Edit: I just plugged in the phone to a friends PC and Windoes started to search for drivers. So the phone seems to be alive at least.
[Xperia Play General] ashanrath:
I had the same issue. Make sure you download 7.1.0.1 instead of 7.1.0.

Linky: http://goo-inside.me/cm/zeus/stable/update-cm-7.1.0.1-XperiaPlay-R800i-signed.zip

Can also confirm no vibration or haptic feedback. ****.
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
blinding shadow is right. he got mine sorted for me. i had downloaded the wrong one aswell.

but i used a different guide aswell. one that used these fastboot command:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

instead of the first guide i used that just had these commands:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Both may work, the bottom one may have not worked because i downloaded the wrong version.

Anyone any ideas on why my games FC?

how were you able to access the "dead" phone via fastboot? i tried to set the phone into the blue LED mode, but pressing "search" while connecting the phone via USB but it didnt work (waiting for device). so my question is, how can i get the new boot.img on the phone?

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Delete the data for the games, After you boot the game it will say checking files ..... it should then say update to new version? :cool:
[Xperia Play General] LBee:
That helped, thx! And the problem that caused my phone not to go into CWM was a corrupt boot.img in the 7.1. CM that I downloaded. With the boot.img from 7.1.0.1 package everything worked out as described in the Update Guide.

Thanks everybody for the valuable help!

[Xperia Play General] LBee:
hey guys,

i'm curious: does video recording/playback work for you on Cm7.1.0.1 like it did with the SE stock ROM?

I noticed, that the recorded videos have a different file suffix (m4v opposed to mp4), but here is the real issue: when I play back a video that I recorded with my phone it plays back like being on speed. Sound plays with regular speed, but the video seem to be on 250% speed (and they are out of synch of course).

Tried playback with rockplayer, where I get normal video speed, but no sound at all. Same weird results when I transfer the videos to my desktop and try to watch them there (VLC, media player classic, windows media player, quicktime).

Does anyone habe the same issue? And maybe even a solution? Thx :)
[Xperia Play General] Roshi69:
I dont have this problem. Video recording does not work at all. get FC when i try it and video playback is fine. audio and video playback is perfect, even using a video i recorded before the update.

I am using UK R800i
[Xperia Play General] LBee:
playback of old recorded videos play back without problem too. my issue seems to happen during the recording process. oh, and it only happens in the high resolutions. the low resolutions record and play back fine.
[Xperia Play General] txcforever:
I flashed my Play with CM7 and everything was fine until I tried playing 9MM and Dead Space. The touchpads don't work at all something I can't look the other way about. Strangely on Backstab they work.

It's too bad because the speed increase of the device is great I don't have slowdowns in any game or emulator (even with zelda oot on N6droid), but I can't find a solution, I will be returning to the stock FW.

can anyone write a complete guide of how to flash the cyanogen ? cause have never done it before and dont want to risk a brick in the device that work so good with doomlord
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] JasonTama:
On CM7 now. The rom is working good, fast and reliable like stock rom. It's too soon to say it, but it seems to me that battery last a little less (maybe I played too much with settings). Everything is working for me, even vibration, flash and APN. The only programs not working are Camera 360 and Panorama by Sony (the screen remains always black). The thing i am missing most is Sony camera software. CM7 camera software is a real mess with non working things (at least for me).

However i used Titanium Backup to import all my stuff from stock ROM 2.3.3 and everything was fine (just needed to reinstall Swiftkey). Regarding instructions on how to install the rom... it's very easy. Just follow this instructions on xda development thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16379833&postcount=3

Just a few transcript of what i did

1) copy update-cm-7.1.0 and gapps (google apps) on your sd

2) power off mobile and enter fastboot mode on mobile (power + menu = blue light) and plug the cable

3) open fastboot folder on your pc, press shift and right click of mouse and than open command from here

4) on the command windows: run fastboot flash boot boot.img

5) when finished unplug the device, restart and press multiple time volume down

6) now you are into recovery, move into menu to flash zip from sd card

7) choose the zip update-cm....

8) restart when finished

9) if everything is working correctly flash google app

Remember also in recovery to clear user data and dalvik cache (in advanced). Keep in mind that you will lose all your stuff

I have fixed this problem by:

1. unzip the "update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaNeo-MT15i-signed.zip"

2. open the file "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script"

3. remove the following first 3 lines:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT15i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT15i" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "MT15i" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT15a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT15a" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "MT15a" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "hallon" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "hallon" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "hallon");

4. then zip the file and update it with CWM
