Thank you. I have scripts for dalvik2cache, camera sounds, supercharger on Timescape 2.3.3. They are initiated by hw_config.sh which is located /system/etc/hw_config.sh. I will delete the lines initiating the scripts and make a nandroid backup with my recoveryPlay.img and post here to test.

Just give me some time because I am in the middle of car maintenance (oil change, air filter, brake pads) and getting things transferred over to my laptop for android.
[Xperia Play Android Development] typikal82:
does anyone know if this allows for PS Store access?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tergazzi:
Any chances the issue with the hard buttons have been fixed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I really like the Timescape look and feel but I dont like the fact that I cannot hide apps in the app drawer or make folders in the app drawer. Guess I am spoiled with GO Launcher but I would like to be able to have both those 2 options if possible to the Timescape. I dont want to flash this ROM and only to use GO as it would defeat in my mind the purpose of this ROM. Any ideas if its possible to have those two options available in this ROM? Folders in app drawer and the ability to hide apps? Thank you

I edited hw_config no go logcat shows zeus something can't 4ever full name its in usr I'm going to try putting the one from the stock rom there and hoping that works
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hogwarts:
No they haven't been fixed last I heard

Also the OP went missing in action again.

I dont think he knows what the real problem is but I doubt it's the scripts he added.

I think it has to do with the UK phones having a different CPU than the USA phones. ( just my guess. could be way off)

Also another problem

If you have a bad ESN phone like me you wont be able to use the rom at all

there is no known way to bypass the activate screen. so yeah you are stuck on it
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
the scripts aren't the issue
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I dont believe the cpu is the problem here, im pretty sure the uk/usa snapdragon was the same.

007shark posted "he made the roms with unlocked bootloaders in mind" that could be the problem. I would say its more then fair to say he will figure it out, if he hasn't already.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Hey Verizon locked Bootloader guys - use the file named "R800x 2.3.3 Timescape Nandroid.rar" instead. It works with our hardware fine. A very different look, I like it!

This fix is for the UK version, not the one labeled "R800x 2.3.3 TimeScape Nandroid.rar", is that correct? Because my buttons work ok with that version but not at all with the other version. Just want to make sure before I start hacking away. lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
Yup it is
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Thank you for the Tutorial. I had no problem editing the necessary file and getting the keys to work. I did have a little confusion over which "doomlords stock wifi modules for r800x" were the right ones - they are the ones called "PLAY-CDMA-3.0.1.A.0.145-stock-modules_CWM.zip" for anyone else having that problem. Everything seems to work great now. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
No prob do me a favor and post it worked on the tutorial thread so people aren't scared to try it. I would appreciate it greatly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Done and done. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I have run into a minor problem with the UK ROM and not sure if I should post it here or in Q & A.

When I first installed the ROM, Playstation Pocket worked and knew I had Crash Bandicoot installed. However, now that I have uninstalled Crash Bandicoot and then reinstalled it to the SD Card, the Pocket FCs when I launch it. Any suggestions on how to fix it or if it's even worth messing with? Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
It never worked for me I would just uninstal
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I can't say whether it worked before I uninstalled Crash Bandicoot, actually. It showed up in there. I never tried to launch it because I knew I was going to remove it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
It just force closed on me

UK rom working great, ive read thru every page but cant seem to find the fix for the contact setup coming up everytime i click contacts, it says on the first page there is a fix but it might be my tired eyes but i cant seem to find it. can someone point me in the right direction?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Go through phone instead of straight to contacts shortcut
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Does anyone have a stock uk version with hardware buttons working? If so could you post your nandroid? I'm on r800x locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
Just use the one for the locked bootloader
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Maybe someone can answer this. My r800x is unbranded. UK version flashed fine. But where it would normally display carrier it says "roaming indicator off" 3g works fine, calls, etc. Anyway to change this? Thx
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The Uk version has this weird thing where after you flash it and reboot you don't wanna do a data wipe. If you flashed and data wiped anytime after installing then that will happen.

Did you data wipe anytime after installing?

I think there's a easy fix ill look at it this evening for sure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
I prob did data wipe before installing nandroid. Always do, but if I dont it will go away?

Also what needs to be changed to get mms ti work on my carrier?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Still do the data wipe and cache wipe before you instal just don't do it after install is complete.

There may be something else going on here that I'm not aware of yet , what's your carrier?

The mms is something 007shark was able to fix. Its a problem in the .smali files I think, don't quote me on that tho :/ as I didn't solve the problem myself. But I will look into it aswell!
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Ok so here's what I got. I restored nandroid that was posted, without wiping no change. I then restored my stock build, then nandroid back to thus build no change. Could you post a zip file with fix? Also my carrier is ntelos here in southwest Virginia. I can attach whatever you need to help. Thanks

The timecape nandroid doesn't have the roaming indicator problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
Do I have to use a custom kernel? My bootloader is locked but I have CWM recovery installed on it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw Stock 2.3.3 or DoomKernel. Since I have Stock 2.3.3, I'm downloading right now! :)

EDIT2: Put me in a bad state that only Flash Tool could fix. Oh well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The Timescape nandroid is made from the the Verizon 2.3.3 Rom with Timescape apps added in. It is basically stock 2.3.3 with 007sharks edits and he added some timescape apps/widgets. There wont be any roaming problems with that one at all :)

You want a fix for the roaming on the UK rom nandroid?

Sounds like you tryed to flash the actual roms themselves, you will need to flash the Nandroid backups posted because your bootloader is Locked. The actual roms are for unlocked bootloaders only.

I posted a nandroid backup of each rom on page 26 of this thread.

Some users have reported the hardware buttons not working on the Uk backup, partly due to the original Rom was built with unlocked bootloaders in mind though. The Timescape backup seems to work just fine though :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Yes I want a fix for roaming indicator.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Ill have that for you this evening!
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Awesome now im not on Verizon. So id rather it not say that. Maybe nTelos spelled that way. Or nothing at all . But ill take whatever over roaming indicator off. Lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Could make it nTelos or Xperia Play or whatever you decide you like best!
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
nTelos would be great
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I can give you the file that will solve your problem if your familiar with root explorer and adding a file to the data partition. Ill need till tomorrow to make you the actual update zip though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
I have root explorer just do your thing and tell me what I need to do.

Also what up with the funky incoming call screen? And why doesnt it look like the dialer or the rest of the se theme?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
Okay, it works using the nand! So happy because I've always wanted the Xperia experience on my Verizon play! One thing though, when I go to contacts, that import screen always shows up, even if I click "Don't show again." Is that fixable?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Go through phone instead of shortcut to contracts.

Phone answering is one of the bugs...
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I've run into a couple of problems with the UK version, which bums me out because I like the way Timescape works in it, and TS does not function as well in the 2.3.3 nandroid version.

1. The gamepad buttons do not work right with some of the games - example Sonic CD.

2. Bruce Lee and Sims3 do not work at all once they have been moved to SD.

3. Some of the apps I bought under the stock ROM won't install because they see the UK ROM as a new phone. I didn't think that was supposed to matter with Market apps.

I had R800x 2.3.3 with Timescape downloaded and tried installing it - it keeps telling me the md5 doesn't match. I downloaded it again several times and got the same error, so I'm guessing the file might be corrupted. I'm using this with the CWM in \system on a locked bootloader and the stock kernel. Any ideas?

EDIT: OK - I had the R800x 2.3.3 with Timescape downloaded on my home PC and copied it to my SD Card via a USB drive and it installed fine. So maybe trying to copy it via the phone's USB port was causing the issue? I have noticed that whenever I connect to the USB in CWM, it drops the connection with larger file transfers. The SD is a 32 GB Sandisk.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Sorry for the wait , I got caught up in my new pro tools 10 :D

Download this file http://db.tt/GTobB1UY its a .rar I prepared for you. There are (2) files in it. One is the eri.xml file that you need to put in the /data partition and replace the existing one. The second file is a photo of the proper permissions that the eri.xml file needs. Using root explorer copy the eri.xml to the /data folder and paste, it will overwrite the one already there. Then long press the eri.xml file and select permissions. Check and/or Un check the permissions to match the permissions in the photo. Then just reboot and enjoy!

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

Thats weird the market problem your having. I have purchased apps on verizon and UK firmware and no matter what system Im on, they all show up in my market "my apps". Sorry your experiencing trouble.

Good to hear the rom is installed fine!
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, I would much rather use the UK version because I love the way Timescape works when you click the Infinity symbol. It doesn't work right on the other version. I just can't figure out why Bruce Lee and Sims3 don't work, and why when I go to install some of my purchased apps, it tells me I'm using a new phone and won't let it install. :( I'll figure it out one of these days.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Are you using the Bruce Lee and Sims from the Uk firmware?

The apps you purchased, you could try running the verizon rom and copy the missing apps to you sd card, then flash back to Uk rom and instal the missing apps from where you saved the. Might be some extra work but its a idea for now atleast?
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Ok so I see /data but where is partition? Little confused
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The data folder is the partition. If you'd like I can take some screen shots an highlight things, let me know :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
You might have to because I don't see that file in the/data any where
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Ok. Ill get it all for you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
Restore the apps from the stock Rom they should work then its what I did
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
This is a screen shot of my /data folder. I scrolled to put the file in middle of the photo. You don't have eri.xml in your /data like this on the Uk rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Do all roms not have that file? If I wanted to put ntelos on another rom. When I use verizon roms it just goes blank normally.

I'll have to look again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] antEris:
In some roms eri.xml is inside framework-res.apk. Typically only roms based on aosp like cyan have it in /data or can have it added there. You might try just adding it to see if it workies. Though to try it you would want to remove it from framework-res, if its there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
It should be in /data , after I installed 007sharks Uk firmware rom it was there. The nandroid I made is from the same rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Replaced file, though it did not change. And yes I changed permissions.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I just used the same file and replaced, it worked fine on my end. I will make another change and possibly make a new nandroid.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
You think somethings diff on my phone? Its an r800x but non branded. Idk
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Im not sure, Im gonna ask someone who knows more then me, Im gonna change the eri in the framework and re post the nandroid for you though maybe that will do it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Ok thx
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Weirdness - Need some help/advice here.

I found if I restored my phone to stock 2.3.3, Bruce Lee and The Sims 3 work fine. It's only when I use the version with TimeScape or the UK ROM that I can't get them to work. I'd like to experiment with porting the Timescape functionality into my stock version, but I don't know what I need to do that. Can you the OP or Monster advise me? Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] odst0016:
They both work on my phone running UK read the previous page I already said the fix
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yeah, and I thought I posted a reply. I have tried the versions from the stock ROM, and the ones from both versions with TimeScape and none of them are working and I can't figure out why.

I even got desperate and formatted my sdcard but that didn't help. In fact it made things even worse because now I get an error when I try to download the data for BC2. It shows under the download bar "NaN 0 of 0 MB" and won't d/l anything. Might just be a server problem with that game though because everything else updates and installs fine.

Like I said, Weirdness!
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Is anyone looking at fixing incoming call screen?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
Porting the timescape to stock verizon rom has already been done, what do you think this rom is....lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes but I was having problems with it so I want to try to port it to my own stock version.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Switched back to the UK ROM. Noticed that the gamepad is not completely functional. Any fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Did a little kernel messin around...

The stock UK 2.3.3 kernel is different then the stock verizon 2.3.3 .

I reflashed the UK system.sin from the 3.0.1.A.0.145 my hardware buttons also did not work with the Verizon 2.3.3 kernel. So I downloaded the 3.0.1.A.0.145 FTF and extracted the UK 2.3.3 kernel. After flashing the UK kernel my hardware buttons worked.

That's why the locked bootloader guys are having hardware button an gamepad issues , because you need the UK kernel with the UK rom.

I know there was a fix posted for hardware buttons on this rom already but I thought I'd share why it wasn't working in the first place for locked bootloaders.

~Edit : side note~ Does anyone feel the Verizon firmware is louder then the UK firmware during phone calls as well as ringing/notification volume? As well as max brightness being brighter on Verizon firmware?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yeah, I looked at the button fix file and even copied over the one from the stock ROM but it didn't help. Too bad - I really like Timescape but not enough to pass up using the gamepad. Thanks for the info.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
What's the best method to acquire & apply the Timescape font?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
For the overall Font of the phone?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Yes. I want to switch over to the default font that's seen in screenshots.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
In the /system there's a folder named "fonts" You could flash the UK rom/nandroid and copy that folder, Or Ill be flashing the UK again on my phone this afternoon I can upload a link for you with the Fonts folder if you'd like.

You will just need to copy them into the /system/fonts , and possibly rename them to suit your liking.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Right now, I have the pure UK rom installed. I guess I just need the correct font files & what to rename them as.

I appreciate any help you can provide. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
FIXED - I now have front buttons AND Gamepad buttons all working

This is the same edit that was in the earlier post, but the insertion point is different. Use the tutorial found here but instead of inserting the lines at the end of the file, insert them above the section labeled "# KEY_UP, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT, KEY_DOWN". Save and exit.

I uploaded the file already edited. All you need to do is rename it by removing the .txt from the end and then copy it to \system\usr\keylayout. I don't know if it was necessary, but I also renamed the file named "keypad-pmic-zeus.kl" by adding .bak to it. This is the file that originally contains those lines.

Don't ask me why changing the insertion point works, because I don't really know. All I do know is it works great, and I can finally have a fully functional Timescape and still use all the hardware buttons. Let me know if this helps anyone else by clicking thanks or posting a reply.

EDIT #2 Well, I'm having one of those WTH moments with this fix. I wiped my phone and did a reinstall just to clean things up a bit and reapplied this fix... and it didn't work this time! :O Fortunately, I did a nandroid first. When I restored the nandroid, everything works as documented here. OK, I have NO clue how that's even possible. So let me just say this may or may not help anyone else out. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
216Monster,

Would the Sony Sketch font be the same one from the screenshot on the 2nd post of this thread?

http://www.dafont.com/sony-sketch-ef.font

I can force it on the interface through the UOT Kitchen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Id have to say that it looks like it to me :) If you get it on there wanna take a screen shot of the settings menu and post it?

Sorry I dont remember which actual font it is on the phone, I remember having to change it though because the font in the Uk screen shot was never the font that I saw.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Will be a good help to anyone using stock kernel or with a locked bootloader !
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I'll post a screenshot after I customize the interface through the UOT Kitchen tonight. :) In addition to getting that font, the default SEMC interface is quite nice. I never thought I'd say this but SEMC skinning > all other OEM skins IMHO. I'm still pondering whether I like the default launcher or if I'll switch back to ADW Launcher EX.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Here's the screenshot :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK - looking for some info here, please. I'm in the US and so everything I have bought game-wise has been through the US stores for Gameloft and EA. All of the games worked fine under the stock ROM. I'm currently using the UK ROM and I'm finding that some of my games, all of which are Gameloft ones, won't run. They load the Gameloft logo, maybe the starting video and then go back to the launcher. I'm thinking maybe it's because they are the wrong versions for this ROM.

The games that do this are: Eternal Legacy, Fast Five and Shadow Guardian. Oddly enough, Star Battalion and Tintin HD are also Gameloft games and they both work ok. Any ideas here?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
It looks great man, thanks for sharing ! I just found the actual SonySketch font file. Ill upload a link incase anyone wants it aswell

Did you try deleting and re downloading the data for them?

Edit : you probably already redownloaded the apps while on the UK rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yeah, I actually started with a totally reformatted sdcard.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I have the Timescape settings background workin on the stock Verizon firmware, will post some screen shots. Im working on getting Timescape background in the verizon firmware's - email - sms - and possibly the phone/contacts as well.

EDIT : I uploaded to screen shots, one is the About Phone setting to show build is Verizon and the other is of the Location settings to show its the Verizon firmware and im not full of sh!t. Also just for the record Im using the SonySketch.ttf as my font and the status bar is ICS themed, thats it, Im not using any ICS rom this is Verizon 2.3.3 stock.

I have not seen the Timescape setting background look on the Verizon stock firmware posted on Xda anywhere else
[Xperia Play Android Development] ekklesiaillusion:
did you upload that font file yet? very interested in using it
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The Sony Sketch Font as Seen in the Uk Firmware Screen shot

I renamed the files already and zipped them up, heres a link http://db.tt/7bRRyozq

Just download the files and put them in /system change permissions and then move to /system/font and reboot & enjoy

Thanks CrimsonKnight13 for figuring out what the Font was called.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Is there any way (possibly an automated method) that we can modify the framework-res.apk to have reboot options, airplane mode, wifi, brightness, etc?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I never tried before. I'll pull apart some roms that have and give it a shot though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iceman99393:
Id like to see these changes when done. The timescape menus and dialers look much better. Id use the uk version but the fudged up incoming call screen and the outgoing call screen don't match dialer and I'm picky.
