I started with a clean sdcard so I had to re-download the data. I was not able to redownload the apps themselves on the UK ROM because they aren't in the Market. You can only get them from the Gameloft site, which I assume would be a UK site and thus I probably wouldn't be considered a member, I'm guessing. Not that big a deal, I was just trying to figure out why only those 4 games give me a problem. I have so many games I can live without them, LOL. I just hate conundrums! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I have a bug to report with the pure UK ROM. The Contacts app works quite well but whenever I open it, it displays an intro/import screen. I always click "Don't show again" & Done every time but it keeps appearing after I open Contacts another time.

I apologize if this has already been reported.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Back on this ROM for a while. Was there ever a fix for the overlapping Verizon Wireless and Xperia Play text in the notification area?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I posted a SystemUi.apk on page 26 that will fix it for you :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Yea its a known issue :/

I'm using go launcher (they finally added a option to disable the 3 options at the top of app drawer) but the dock has a contacts shortcut and will go right to contacts for you on UK rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Did you try titanium backup? I never use it so I kinda always forget its a option, worth a try?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Eek. I did that and it just force closes over and over now and I have no status bar at all. What are the exact permissions I need? I tried to do the same ones as the default systemui.apk had.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Oh. Sorry to hear. Im uploading a photo and a New SystemUi.apk w/ transparent background.

Ill edit this post an add them shortly
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Appreciate it. And the exact steps will be:

1. Move your systemui.apk to /system

2. Change permissions to your uploaded picture

3. Move your systemui.apk to /system/app and overwrite the default one

4. Reboot

Is that right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
If you know how to use adb just go into recovery and mount system then enter adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
One more thing. How do I get a competent stock Gingerbread keyboard on this ROM? The included keyboard that doesn't correct any typing mistake is utterly useless. But I have bad luck with keyboards that aren't stock causing lag spikes in games/emulators.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Ill upload u the gb keyboard from 2.3.3 also

Ill have it all in ten mins almost back to my computer
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
You are talking about the one that CM utilizes right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The SystemUI.apk

http://db.tt/NpRmveXZ

The Gingerbread LatinIME from Vz 2.3.3

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/LatinIME.apk

The first photo is how you will want to set the permissions for both the SystemUi and the LatinIME , second photo is just how the SystemUi will look on the Uk rom, minus the battery icons.

Did you want a different keyboard?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm using the second Verizon ROM with the timescape theme. Maybe that's why it messed up when I tried? I had the permissions set exactly like that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I tested it works on both roms. I'm using the Verizon timescape also :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
It worked this time. Nice.

Could I take the LatinIME.apk from CM7 and replace the stock VZ in the same way? I want to get away from the VZ one as it has absolutely no auto-correction, and is impossible to type with any sort of speed.

I'm trying it out as we speak. :)

Also is there any way to get reboot options on this firmware? If I'm not mistaken the reboot options mod is only for the 4.xxx firmware.

EDIT: Yay, replaced the VZW keyboard with one that works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Great to hear you got the keyboard you wanted!

I am gonna try to work on a reboot option this week and some notification toggles that look good with the uk status bar what not.

I wanna get the rest of the SemcUxp working on the Verizon firmware and I'm trying to mod the built in tethering to disable verizons re routing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I can't remember if there was a solution for using wireless tether without getting the Verizon splash page about mobile broadband plans with this rom and kernel. Neither that or barnacle are working for me.

EDIT: Scratch that, I believe it was only the UK version that allowed this even using the Nexus One profile in Wifi Tether.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Hey 216Monster. First I would just like to say I really appreciate you posting the Nandroid backups. Loving it.

Secondly, would you mind uploading the SystemUI apk again? Dropbox just keeps giving me a 404 when I try to download it. I tried the first one you posted, but I also got FC's and lost my notification bar.

It's just a small thing, but I have everything else set up perfectly, and that's the last part I need to fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Your welcome glad to hear the nandroid is working good for you.

I added a new link for the systemUi and it works again :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Currently testing out 007's latest UK release with V01 of DoomLords CDMA kernel. Would this be at all compatible with the dalvik hack and how would I go about performing that on this rom?

Again a big thanks to 007 and Monster!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
It will work just great :)

Just instal the dalvik2cache mod in CWM and you can check it worked by using root explorer, open the /etc folder and view the "instal-recovery.sh" The last line should read "/system/bin/dalvik2cache"

I can upload a link if you need
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Thanks for fixing that. Took me a couple of days to get back on here.

Works perfectly
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Great to hear :)

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Would anyone on the Verizon firmware rom want the Settings.apk to have the SonyUxp Theme ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
That sounds interesting. I'd like to try it if you don't mind.

I love this phone, but I'm not loving my lack of customization options. I started out on the G1 with 1.0. I miss the freedom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
What do you feel is missing? Just curious
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Mainly that I can't flash a new ROM every other day. I would love to unlock my bootloader, but I live out in backwoods of Alabama, so I can't get broadband. That's keeping me from remotely connecting to some of the guys on here offering the service.

I went from a G1, to the Droid, to the Droid X, and now the PLAY. With all the others, I could jump around to new stuff all of the time, or keep up with Cyanogen Mod. So far, this UK ROM has been pretty nice, so thanks again for that.

- Lol, just realized I signed up to XDA in 09 and I still have less than 5 posts. I probably should have talked more instead of just logging in to download attachments.

---Edit so I won't double post. I think I am having a problem with the SystemUI. Anytime I try to connect to USB, the status bar gets a FC. Any idea why that is?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Yea nothing beats the Droid 1 days of roms kernels and themes there was so much. But now there's more android powered phones , devs are spread out over multi phones and r800x has a small portion of people who use/work on it.

This status bar issue you have, I haven't had the problem an I can't seem to make the problem happen either. Is it only when you plug in usb?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
+1 to the Droid 1. I bought one recently just to play with. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I always start spamming before anything shows up. Do I have to wait until the S-E logo actually shows before hitting it?

BTW, the new kernel boot logo is awesome, 007. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
It won't actually go into recovery until the SE logo is supposed to start. Does the dalvik hack now work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Yes, with the new kernel I didn't even have to do anything. It booted and then bootlooped once, and the second time I actually got into the OS I jumped to nearly 200MB free when I was at 59MB previously.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Did you use the zip file found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
No. I just flashed the new test kernel that 007 posted, and it seems to have done the job itself.

I'm not too keen on how kernels work on this device, but the kernel itself is twice as big as the original Doom V3 kernel. Maybe a script to run on initial boot up after the flashing?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The new kernel fixed dalvik issues! I think the scripts were already in the rom and the kernel just didnt let them execute. This kernel looks like it has the .368 boot logo with the .145 speeds. Either way 007 nicely done your helping a lot of people.

Btw 007 im still sending u something just havent made it to bank to make depo will do soon though thanks for your work !
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I had already put the dalvik2cache init.d script in this ROM as well as disable auto brightness. The v3 kernel was having problems with the init.d scripts. I simply took the zImage from the .145 kernel and combined with the ramdisk of the .368 kernel. The boot logo is DoomLord's from his .368 kernel.

Also, a single bootloop is normal for this kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I added this as an edit to a post, so maybe no one has seen it yet.

Is anyone able to get all the various setcpu governors to show (interactive, smartass, etc)? The only ones I have are the most basic (conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, and performance).
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
You are right about the other governors missing, at least in No-Frills CPU. I always use ondemand so I hadn't noticed before.

EDIT: If you follow my link to the .145 DoomKernel it doesn't list the cpu governors in its release. I think it didn't get implemented until his .368 DoomKernel. This is something that is in the zImage of the kernel. I will add this to a wishlist because it would take some time for me to compile a new zImage with these granted I can borrow DoomLord's acpu file.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
I have Wireless Tether working on mine. It is from an apk that was posted on these forums. It is free so I should be able to post it however I don't know who to give credit to. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35097081/wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk

Yes, you do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'll give that a try. I was using the newest 3.1 Beta 6

Are there any options I have to change to prevent the Verizon hotspot notification to not come up and subsequently block access?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Just choose Google NexusOne as your device and you should be good to go.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
That used to work for me, but seems to not work for me anymore since switching to this rom. Weird.

But, there is always barnacle, it still works like a charm. I just lose the ability to connect my 3DS to the internet every once in a while. :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
With the UK rom, I was able to use the built in hotspot (in settings->wireless networks) without any modification. I checked it with a laptop. There's no need for Wifi tether with this rom, unless that changes with the modified kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hairdewx:
I'll wait a month to see if people start getting billed from Verizon for tethering :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Don't even joke like that. Haha.

007, do you have an eta on when the black and or blue background mms.apk zips will be up?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
Give me a couple of days on that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hairdewx:
I got a weird "bug"... My phone was idle, with the screen off. Then my phone just started playing a ringing sound, but no one was calling me. Pressing the volume button would change "in-call volume," but I was not in a call at all...

The ringing did not stop until I called myself from another phone to test if my radio was working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Just installed the modified firmware. Dalvik hack and link2sd both worked on boot. Had a bootloop until I wiped dalvik and regular cache. Thanks a ton. Love the new bootscreen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Have a drink on me

Sent! Thanks again
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I went kept mine, I prolly wont ever get rid of it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Yeah, it's only when I plug the USB into a computer. I can see the icon to mount the SD come up for a split second, then I get a FC and my notification bar disappears. It's weird.

I knew coming into this phone that the development community was a bit smaller, but it's been impressive this far, so props to everyone who has put in the time and effort.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
There is a great community of people here :)

Ill make another systemUi.apk if youd like and post again. Im not sure why its happening and I cant make it happen for myself with the same systemUi.apk, it works without error for me. Ill post a new SystemUi.apk after work, if theres anything as far as how the status bar looks youd like to change for your liking let me know and I can change it for you before I re-post it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Is there any way for you to add the ability to swipe away notifications or dismiss them individually? Either clear all or click into each one of them gets old.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Ive never seen that before, if you can point me to a Rom that may already have this option then I can figure it out and add it
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
CM has the swipe to get rid of individual notifications, and MotoBlur has a red "-" button to the right of all notifications to get rid of them individually.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
It's also an Ice Cream Sandwich feature...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Any chance of getting this to 4.0.2.A.0.42/58/62?

Would love to try some of the themes by thomassafca in this ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Well... you can use DooMKerneL v10... or you can wait for verizon to actually release an update... it's up to you... :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Guess I should get out more
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
If it's not too much to ask, that would be awesome if you posted another. I'm fine right now with it just saying Verizon Wireless, but any tweaks you'd like to try are cool by me.

I wondered if it may be a problem with the permissions, but they were fine. Even redid the process and it kept happening.

The swipe to dismiss notifications was something I had grown used to in other phones. If there was a way I could help with doing that, I'd be glad to.

- The community here is great. Only problem I'd say is there is not enough thanks for the work people are doing. If you'd like it for your troubles, I'd be glad to throw a donation your way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I know the moto blur on, Im gonna see what it would take to incorporate the swipe feature, would make a nice addition !

Ty for the info.

Me to, Im trying get us to a point where those themes are available as well.

Im posting you another apk I cant say for sure it will fix your issue, but give it a shot.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/SystemUI.apk

I will def. jump on this swipe feature today ! Hopefully have something a little later for everyone.

If you would like to that would be nice, Im not asking for anything, but I wont say no ;)

Sony Uxp Themed Settings for Verizon Firmware Rom

Here is a Settings.apk that will give you the SonyUxp Theme as seen on the Uk firmware(s), except this is on the Verizon firmware :D

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/Settings.apk

Dont forget the usual stuff, move the apk to /system change permissions and then move/replace in system/app

~ If you are running the Uk firmware this does not apply to you of course ~
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
No luck with the last one you posted... Thanks though

I tried going back to the original with the overlapping text to see if it would happen with it, but that one had no problems mounting. I've tried it multiple times and triple checked stuff like permissions, but I still get the FC. It's got me stumped. No idea why it won't work.

I guess I'll try going back to the original Nand you posted, and immediately change the SystemUI to see if that works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
You are on the Uk rom right? I updated another one , try the link in the post above again. All I did was remove the overlapping text problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
I'm on the Timescape 2.3.3

I tried the newest one you posted and had the same problem. I even wiped the phone and restored the original backup you posted, then tried changing it. Somehow, I still get the FC when connecting the USB. If I go back to the overlapping one, it works fine again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
After another week with the UK Rom I can't get over the sexiness and the smoothness of everything using DoomLords kernel at 1.8ghz. Amazing how Sony did it so right the first time, then Verizon had to come and muck it up. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
That's the problem , this whole time I've been posting UK systemui.apk's and your on the Verizon firmware. I'm sorry for the mix up ill post you a Verizon rom systemui now!
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The UK rom is nice. Only downfal I have is gtalk video calls no one can hear me. Its a problem that I've had since the UK idea on r800x came around. But other then that I love it .
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Fortunately I haven't had a need for that feature. I believe that and the incoming call glitch are the only problems with this Rom. Makes me curious if Verizon will lean more towards a Sony style experience or more towards bare bones Android for ICS.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Ahh, that makes sense now. As soon as you post it, I'll be fixing it.

It always ends up being a simple solution. Didn't even consider we may be thinking of different ROMs
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
This one should work for you , I think you already said a few pages back that you were on the Verizon rom, my mistake no worries.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/SystemUI.apk
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Just a update I'm working on getting all the themes on our firmware . I'm working in the MotoBlur theme first.

Edit : I have a MotoBlur theme for the UK rom, just a few changes and ill post later today / morning . Im gonna work on Samsung or HTC theme next anyone have something in mind they would rather have?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Donnie1211:
Got that last one you posted up and running. Works perfectly now, thanks.

Is the MotoBlur just going to be available on the UK ROM? I don't have a problem with switching, just wondering if I should.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Good to hear, glad we finally got that fixed.

I finished the Uk verison of the MotoBlur and Ill be posting that hear shortly. I was planning on making the theme for the verizon firmware also, I will probably have it tomorrow evening.

But first an foremost I'm trying to finish the motoblur theme for Verizon firmware rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
Thank you! :D

Can you organize what you've posted monster216 either to op or at least into one post.its all over the place. thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
could you please make a motblur theme for stock verizon 2.3.3? because all of my apps from the ea flexion store are somehow linked to my stock rom and want me to "repurchase them for my new phone"
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Use Titanium Backup, then you'll never have to worry about redownloading games again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Sorry to all for delay, I've been hardcore swamped with music production, started a company.

I'm back though, I will be finishing the motoblur for the verizon rom and I will compile everything I've done either here or in a new thread because I was thinking of revamping/upgrading the roms and I'm not the OP here, and there's some nice stuff out there we aren't using in these roms yet.

I'm using my Droid right now, My Play is down I'm working on something else that I think every r800x owner will like to see!
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
And that is the reason I will never purchase games from EA or Gameloft for my phone. They tie it to your hardware, and not your gmail.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
crono141 is correct. I already bought titanium backup pro and backed up my games from the EA flexion store but when I installed a custom rom and restored them it checks online to verify that I'm on the same device and even though I am, it thinks I'm on a new phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Ah, I haven't had this issue with games from there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Did u try to copy the apk's from the /data folder to ur sd card using root explorer and then instal manually after u are on new rom ? Works for me with madden12 , worth a shot?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
thanks will try :)

but another problem I'm having is that I want to use the Sony Ericsson home on stock verizon 2.3.3 (because I LOVE IT) and every time I try to install it says "Application not installed".

is that because it's made for 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The sony home is a system app, system apps don't like being "installed" instead you gotta move the file to the /system/app folder manually with root explorer.
