How to Install

1. Extract this zip to a folder.

2. Copy the MIUIPlayV2_b.zip to your sdcard. (Via USB Storage)

3. Switch off your phone, and hold down search whilst plugging in the USB to enter fastboot mode. (Blue Power Light)

4. Open a command prompt/terminal and enter the following commands:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img

5. Format Data, Dalvik Cache and Factory Settings:

6. Install zip from SDCard, select MIUIPlayV2_b.zip.

[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Finally MIUI!

Now all that is needed for me is to contact Alejadrissimo and get my fastboot enabled! :')
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Well,congratualations on getting it to work!

However,it would be nice to have a small introduction to what is MIUI...i personally have no idea what it is ??_??
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
MIUI is a customized themed version of Android which is in the look of iOS. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Which version of MIUI is it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I thought looking like iOS was one of the many possibilities, and not what MIUI was?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
It is the latest version of MiUI (US Build but GSM only). I think it is 1.8.5
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
newest MiUI is 1.10.x or something... atleast thats the one post in x10 section
[Xperia Play Android Development] netorino:
Congratulations on making it work!

It seemed like you wouldn't get too much support but devs finally stepped up and helped make it happen. Good luck on improving it and vanish all those "what doesn't work" lines.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
After Camera and wifi works for me i cant wait to use it:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
congratulations in getting it to boot :D

we finally have a real alternative rom, no disrespect to the guys making striped/customized stock roms but i have been waiting for this since day one of purchasing my play, now if the sense rom can get ported too.......

all i need is for data to work and i will gladly flash this
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
Classic :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I said that, regardless of how it came up, you deserved credit fit being gutsy and getting to work on it. Now that it appears to work (can't try it ATM) you deserve more credit for delivering. Kudos to you!
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Current Progress:

Now onto fixing the WiFi, torch and screenshot capture. I dont know what data is but I also have no data with CM7 FXP41 either, this could be releated because we are using the same kernel (edited a bit) and ramdisk.

Coming in next build:

WiFi

Torch

Screenshot Capture

Custom Bootscreen

UK Version of MIUI (Not the US one, the uk one is more like the real miui and the one you see on most phones.)

Xperia Wallpapers
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Data is 3g coverage. It's a deal breaker for many people, so once it's fixed you can safely say you have a stable miui running.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Yeh, I know what data is and this would be like one of the only things left to fix (Most stuff is regarding kernel changes with the code provided.etc). But i also have no APN's or data in CM7 either, so....
[Xperia Play Android Development] ammarcool12:
Good to hear :D

I'll just wait till it gets a bit more stable before trying it
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Any ideas on how are you going to fix the camera?Camera is very important u kno.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
I don't know but they are working on it over in the Ray thread. It is something to do with the fact that because we cant get the source code for MIUI, we have to sort of hack the precompiled camera libary to link it with the kernel we have compiled...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
oh boy... you should been on the X10 community...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
This may have been answered somewhere in the thread, but do you have any plans to create a version for r800x users at any point in time?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Maybe...

I havent got a cdma phone and have no experience in the way CDMA works.

I think I would need to compile a CDMA version of the kernel and then a CDMA version of CM7 both with a 3G vmsplit, then port MIUI from a CDMA device... Which I cant find..

Theroatically, it could be done but would need helper from outside sources.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i have made a kernel for this but am unable too download the rom...

can anyone give me a multiupload mirror?
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Is a uploaded.to mirror also okay for you?

Forget it i am uploading it to multiupload.

here you go
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
is that v2?
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
this is the version from the first post, i downloaded it today.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
@DooMLord use my link a few page back

That have working hw buttons

Edit here is the link with working buttons http://www.multiupload.com/T6GRUOVU8Q
[Xperia Play Android Development] fuuma:
Yeees thank you very much DoomLord for your interesting to this Rom and creating a NEW KERNEL for this one
[Xperia Play Android Development] bheremans:
I think the rom should be updated and build with newer cm7 rom / fxp kernel

fxp changelog mention touchpad fix :

http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/

probably doomlords kernel will be based on it and also fix the problem

cm7 changelog also mentions touchpad

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=zeus

If XperiaPlayer's build environment isn't working or he hasn't time i'm prepared to give it a new try (without testing it)
[Xperia Play Android Development] bheremans:
I had some free time, so I made a new test version anyway. :D

Not tested beacasue I don't own a Xperia play

Based on : FXP git kernel sources / Cyanogen git sources / Miuiandroid 1.11.4

Included languagues : English / Chinese / French / Dutch / German

Kernel : http://hotfile.com/dl/134610817/eb4bb98/boot.img.html

(Doomlord will probably post a better one soon)

MIUI Rom : http://hotfile.com/dl/134610963/54da0ee/MIUIAndroid-1.11.4_Xperia-Play.zip.html

Flash kernel with fastboot

Install rom with cwm recovery.

See first posts for more info, you probably need to install the latest semc firmware / baseband, see FXP thread, this is all based on it.

Have fun and give some feedback
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
What's working, beside the things in the first post:

Torch

Hardware buttons

What's not working:

Bluetooth still doesn't turn on

Gaming controls don't work (for PES2012)

Thanks a lot! :)

No 720P video recording btw!
[Xperia Play Android Development] bheremans:
hmm seems bluetooth doesn't work in cm7 where it's based on : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/35683-bluetooth-issue-on-nightly-build-6/

Anyone knows if it works with fxp04x ? Wich one exactly ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It worked in 43, which had different sources.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mislatero:
somebody can upload a video ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
@bheremans: Thanks for the work, i will test it :)

Whats the problem of the bluetooth.apk can i change it with the latest bluetoothfile from cm7?

Works the Cam in Barcode Scanners?

And big thanks for German Language Support =)

greetz from germany
[Xperia Play Android Development] RublJow:
Hello Guy's

I have found out when you turn your Bluetooth. From statusbar on then it's working but from settings. Not :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] stormtroopercs:
any one gotten touchpad's working? only thing that sucks about this rom.. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] lordjubblydave:
Just giving some love for this rom, it is easily the best I have ever tried.

CyanogenMod just lost a fanboy,

Please try and find time to continue to develop this rom.

bluetooth seems to be working for me. Although I can't find the screengrabs anywhere that i have taken by pressing menu and volume down, so maybe they are not saving correctly?
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
@ lordjubblydave. You make this Rom sound too good. Even without touchpads or BT(which I never use) i am very tempted to try. Do you or anyone have some pics of this rom on Xplay? Ive seen miui on its site but not on xplay. Also am I correct that XperiaPlayer said that it is running 2.3.7 and lastly....why are all download links not working?? Is this the link for V2?? http://www.multiupload.com/T6GRUOVU8Q(*Only working link I found in thread other than one posted above)
[Xperia Play Android Development] lordjubblydave:
Lol, I do get over excited.

You should definitely try it.

It is so much more customisable than other roms i tried and there are some amazing themes, which with literally 1 click completely change the entire look of the phone.

As soon as I work out the screengrabs, i will post up a picture or two.

If you do try it use the link above as the hardware buttons are working. Although not the thumbpads everything else seems fine to me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
What is to do:

TouchPads

Camera in Barcode Scanner

Soundhound doesnt working o_O

Bluetooth..

after that it will be perfectly ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Screencaps are not working either.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Sorry Ive not been active recently, been a bit busy :).

Screencaps is a problem with the ramdisk. This might be fixed when doomlord releases his version of the MIUI kernel for the play :). Bluetooth, should be an easy fix. Touchpads will need to contact FXP about this. (However, he refused to help when I first contacted him. [Message: We do not support ports...]). Camera in the barcode scanner, should work? Could you get a logcat from that?

Command is adb logcat.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Good work here :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I flashed MIUI today for the first time. It certainly feels well built and the interface is better than stock. The launcher is a dull copy of TouchWiz 4 but it's good to see so many themes available.

I will be keeping this for a while.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
In Barcode Scanner, the scanner itself works (that is, if you point the camera towards a QR code it is read and played back to you); however, the camera only shows a completely black screen, so you don't get to see where the camera is pointing at. It's a very common issue with custom ROMs.

Here is a Pastebin link describing the issue:

http://pastebin.com/UNzK6jh2
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm getting ridiculously high cell standby consumption. It accounts for 40% of the battery drain according to the built in manager. The phone has spent more battery searching a signal than in the screen. My signal is not perfect, but it's not patchy either.

Is this happening to others or is it only on my end? DoomLord has been very vocal about a higher drain with the .42 baseband (which is the one used here), but this is completely out of measure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Cant say anything.. It has until Monday to repair
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Have been using it for about 2 weeks (until i needed bluetooth for work..)

And it did use more battery than CM7 at that point in time.

Didn't bother me too much since i'm using a 2600mAh Battery and have a dock like.. everywhere.. allways keep a cable with me.. etc.
[Xperia Play Android Development] evolutionqy7:
Looking forward to a fully working MIUI version :)

Expect a donation once thats done :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] labbala:
can someone please upload some youtube video so we can see how it is looking like?
[Xperia Play Android Development] stormtroopercs:
I hope progress gets made with this. I really like miui :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Yes, i hope it, too. :)

i love miui, cause i love the ui with the themes, statusbar etc... please, please, please give us an stable miui :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
DoomLord has said he'd bring us a MIUI kernel, too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
What i am asking me is why does not just someone port MIUI from the Arc to the play? Wouldnt that be much better than working on this unfinished stuff?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It wouldn't necessarily be better, but it would be easier. Better would be compiling MIUI from source, but that is impossible for us, it is closed source.

I think most of the stuff left on this ROM is kernel related, and that is why a kernel for this ROM is needed, also if I am correct, this was ported from the DHD.

If you try the Arc ROM with a Play kernel, it might, or might not work. But since the Play is unique with it's touchpads, they may never work on MIUI.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Does that mean that i can use any arc ROM on my play with using a play kernel? I will definitly try that.... Even if Touchpads and so on do not work...
[Xperia Play Android Development] stormtroopercs:
I don't think it would work.. I'll test later if I get the time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] labbala:
none have tried it ? no demo video yet ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Can someone reupload this? The link in the first post isent working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
The link in the first port doesn't have working hardware buttons. there is a corrected build.
[Xperia Play Android Development] labbala:
currently the 4.0.2.A.0.58 stock build is the bets build that i have saw.

finally fixed all the issues with WiFi and even fixed allot of issues of battery

i hope to see sometime soon a MIUI based on 4.0.2.A.0.58 runing on our PLAY.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
I will possibly port that build soon....
[Xperia Play Android Development] ammarcool12:
I know is hard to pace with SE ad they are releasing numerous updates..any idea when can we expect the best version ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] labbala:
Does it help that there is an existing working miui project for xperia x10 called tripNMiUI? Can't that be re-used for the PLAY?
[Xperia Play Android Development] m2maddy:
Can anyone post screenshots / video of how this ROM looks on Xperia play.

Maddy
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
I asked the same question a while back and have yet to see someone take a minute to upload a screenshot. It is very simple to just hold power & Take screenshot within 2.3.4. or use free app from market. Edit** Try youtube video for miui on xperia ray or x10. They should look somewhat similar. Heres xperia ray link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJwzBa6ep_Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Yeh, ive been busy trying out and helping out in the ICS thread section. The screenshots dont actually work in this version. They take but dont save to the sd, AND the apps dont work :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Because of course reading the OP which states very clearly that Screenshots don't work is out of the question.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Haha.You are right. LoL.My fault. It is indeed right there in OP.Sorry, But there are a lot of Rom threads without screenshots so I assumed that was the case here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Did they shed blood about the camera thing? I have read things in that sense.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
If it helps you any, I have 028a running with data.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Would the 028a ramdisk work hmm... What version is 028a 2.3.5?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
whats the android version of MIUI that u use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
2.3.7

Kernel 2.6.32.9

MIUI 115858
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
then u need latest ramdisk...

so the thing is each version of android (2.1/2.2/2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.7) requires special commands/line in the ramdisk (mostly init.rc) without which the OS will not boot... so u need to use the ramdisk specific for that android version...
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Ah ok, have you got any idea on what could be causing the data not to work? It is enabled just no apn's or HSPDA/3g symbol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
those are mostly baseband/rom related issues...

u should contact some of the devs in Xperia X10 subforums... we had similar issue, some of which were resolved...
[Xperia Play Android Development] mislatero:
We need a video or pic!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
New version now compiling.

Features:

* Latest FXP Kernel + 3G Prelink Fix.etc

* Latest Ramdisk from FXP041 + New Bootscreen + Hopefully Torch Fix

* WIFI Modules compiled. Should work.

* Latest MIUI US Build

* Bravia Engine (if i can)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Clienterror:
Jeez man you're tearing it up lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
really nice.

I love MIUI

waiting for version 0,2
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Do tell :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Just a quick update, the latest FXP kernel works with MIUI!!! (I dont know why but they may have added 3G Prelinking or something because it works...)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
when is the Update ready?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
In fact I was still using my old kernel :L. Update will be ready when I get some things working, I still haven't got wifi to work.... This time it actually does something then crashes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
bluetooth is not working on my play.

can you fix that in the next built?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
I know that bluetooth doesn't work, and at the moment I cant figure out how to fix it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
A word of advice to XperiaPlayer: stick to CM7's first rule.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bheremans:
JasonStein, I got data connection working on MIUI Ray i'm making, you need to patch framework.jar

Here is a modified miui 1.10.14 that contains the semc ril classes : http://hotfile.com/dl/132502736/464637e/framework.jar.html

bluetooth should work with the right files in bin lib etc
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
any news with this rom :) ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Yes,

We have now figured out how to get WiFi + Data + Torch + Camera working, I just have to compile/sort it out .etc

Currently having a few issues but it should be done for the weekend.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
fantastic news :D all i really needed was data so the rest is just icing
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Well when that is out, this will be the best Custom ROM so far :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
so theres no love for Cmda users :/?
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
The developer does not have a cdma phone i think.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Have you been able to bring back Bluetooth?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
camera + wifi ??? awesome bruthar!
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
I haven't got a CDMA phone so can't do that side. What we are still working on is:

* Hardware buttons (Not working for some reasons, looks easy to fix)

* WiFi (Again another easy fix)

What works:

Bluetooth

Data

Camera

Torch
[Xperia Play Android Development] linkandzelda:
I'm running 3.0 on R800i can i still flash this rom? I can flash the kernel then the rom and im hoping it will still work?

Thanks in advance,

Kris
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
You need to running the latest version. (2.3.4) Search for NORDIC FIRMWARE ftf and flash that using Flashtool. You will need an unlocked bootloader.etc and yes it is for the R800i. You have to running 4.0.1.A. something the nordic firmware one with screenshots, facebook inside xperia.etc
[Xperia Play Android Development] linkandzelda:
Oh ok 2.3.4 is that an unreleased official one? As i thought the latest was 2.3.3. I'll have a look around thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
No it isn't a unreleased one :). But i think it says it is 2.3.3.

Thanks bud gonna flash now, then will try and flash this MIUI! I hope performance is good for emulators. Has anyone tried Gameboid or Snesoid or Gensoid with this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
No I havent because there is a lot of issues with the current build. I suggest you wait until the next version is out which contains:

Working Wifi,

Working Data,

Working Camera,

Working Torch

In the current version them 4 things are missing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Also, It will have similar performance to Cm7.1 as it is based on that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] linkandzelda:
Well this may sound funny but I don't my Play as a phone I use just for emulators. The problem is I have poor performance on other builds ive tried everything to get them to wrok at a good playable level. I expected the play to do that OOB but ive tried for the past 24 hours doing all sorts to get it working better I even overclocked to 1.5ghz and still i get problems. The problems i get are crckling sound when frameskip is set to 0 or jumpy graphics/constant skipping when set to 2 with auto. This is on gensoid and gamboid and snesoid with all the games i tried.

I'm hoping this light rom will do the trick for me. Either this or CM7 I'm hoping otherwise the Play is useless for me...
