[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
I was also wondering that same thing. Does this mean anything for us that still have a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Nope, you need unlocked bootloader to flash kernels.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
Thank you for answering, I wad not sure but I sure was hopeful
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
I moved the slider up one and hour up to 1700mhz. Just got a 2000+ score on Quadrant (I know, benchmarks are not really useful. It makes me feel good. :))

When I tried to make the jump to 2000mhz my phone locked up after about 30 seconds. Sticking with 1700 for now.

Thanks!!

EDIT: Just realized there's a couple more notches. Went to 1800. Going to test that out for a little bit.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I got 3,600 on quadrant at 2GHz, but benchmarks are only good for a test, no good for theory.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
3,600! Wow!

BTW... Doom, is there any way you can add into your instructions to name the file "boot" and not "boot.img". I was mashing my brain over why I couldn't flash the file over to my phone and then I went in, changed it to just "boot" and it worked! :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
The proper file name is boot.img. However, Windows hides file extensions by default. It'd be a great idea for you to make it show them (Google it, I don't remember the procedure as I use Linux).
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
To turn this "feature" off go into any windows explorer window, hit the "Organize" button, choose "Folder and Search Options". On the View tab of the dialog, uncheck "Hide Extensions for Known File Types".

Stupidest default ever, especially since in windows, file extensions are actually meaningful.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Hey Doom just wondering if there are any plans to make an updated DoomKernel for the R800x as now the sources are available? Thank you for all your hard work in making this awesome kernel. Thank you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
but we are already using better sources...

lets see.. if i get time i will try...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Interesting. What source did you start from? I'm just wondering how you guys manage to build kernels for devices which have no source. I figured you guys started out with the GSM play code, but just sorta experimented your way to a working CDMA build.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
it was a pain to get things working w/o specific kernel sources but yes that exactly what was done...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Cool. Have the CDMA sources helped you guys at all? I'd figure it might shed light on areas of the code you had trouble reverse-engineering.

And, BTW great work sir. Been running this kernel for weeks now, no issues at all.
[Xperia Play Android Development] markcyst:
Being able to disable Autobrightness would be cool :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MinionOfEckerd:
Has there been any discoveries in the Wireless Tethering problem? (IE Verizon's sign up page.)
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
It's in the framework for verizon's version of android, not the kernel. Barnacle or cyanogenmod both get you around this issue
[Xperia Play Android Development] Krislawl:
the stock wifi kernels you provided say they are for 4.0.2.A.0.42 when flashing. shouldnt they be for 3.0.1.A.0.145? My wifi is broken and my only conclusion is the wifi modules are wrong for my r800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] eximperialdragon:
This kernel is great. My battery drains pretty quickly (set at 1.6 lagfree with SetCPU), but it's not like I wasn't charging every night anyway. This is definitely why I rooted to begin with. =D

I'm using this kernel on the stock 2.3.3 ROM (haven't found a ROM truly worth switch for, yet) and everything runs smooth as silk. Or butter. I guess it depends upon if you're hungry or not, lol.

Fantastic job, Doom!
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Did you read the OP and flash the seperate WiFi modules package from recovery?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Krislawl:
yeah im trying to get my stock wifi back, and the 'stock' modules in his post don't seem to be the right version
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Are you talking about going all the way back to stock (i.e. 2.3.3 from verizon?) If you are, you might as well flash the 2.3.3 ftf

Otherwise, try the attached file, I'm using it on the R800x with no issues at all.

@DooM - Do you have any pointers for making kernels? I'd like to get involved in the development for the R800x (so we atleast have somebody with the CDMA version working off the kernel source for our phones) (One quick question, can I just copy paste your overclock values and CWM over to the R800x Source, or are there more steps I need to do) Thanks for any help you can offer!
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sure mate i can help u...

sources r here:

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-2011-Kernel-2.6.32.9/tree/play-cdma

as for how to compile check the SE blog post for compiling SE kernel...
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Thanks DooM
[Xperia Play Android Development] kyleco:
OK,

I just want to start off saying I've spent the last 8 hours looking for this answer everywhere...

How do you unlock the bootloader on the CDMA Xperia Play?!

Everything I find is either a dead link or just information about the GSM. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I just got this phone, and managed to get CWM installed to do a factory reset, pattern lock was setup from previous user.

Thank you,

Kyle

After reading all the posts here a little more in depth, I realized I should probably say I have the Verizon R800x version. :)

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
PM Alejandrissimo. He does the unlocking for a small fee. His method is the only way to unlock the R800X at this time, since SE are a bunch of bastards.

And before you freak out that he charges money, he breaks even on it. It costs HIM money to do the unlocks.

Also, sounds like your phone was stolen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kyleco:
Thank you very much! Right before I came back and read this, I found something saying it was like $200!!!! Just about cried

HAHA, no, not stolen. I work for a regional carrier by me, we sell the play. Customer returned the phone and we had no way of getting the pattern lock off(CWM or root is the only way!!). So my manager made the phone into a "Demo" phone, and gave it to me as I am the only one there who knows how to root and everything. So free phone basically, but not stolen. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
The sticky thread in q/a had a link to alejandrissimo's website, I used his to unlock my bootloader
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Unlock bootloader is 24$
[Xperia Play Android Development] kyleco:
Been sitting at <waiting for device> for about 15 minutes now... any help please? I just had alejandrissimo unlock my bootloader

EDIT: Used FlashTool, Flashed just fine.

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

OK, so I have my bootloader unlocked, still running stock ROM. I have no setting.apk now!!!!

Also, how do I install CWM?

Thank you,

It's my first time working with the PLAY R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Check out DooMLoRD's kernel... How'd you get rid of settings.apk?
[Xperia Play Android Development] kyleco:
I'm running DooMLoRD's kernel, and I'm not sure how i got rid of settings!!! Any suggestions on how to get it back?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Download the attachment (it's a copy of my settings (i'm running 2.3.3 GBTweaked w/ DooMKernel))

Make sure it makes it's way to /system/app/

(I copied it from /system/app to sd card, you wanna do the reverse)
[Xperia Play Android Development] kyleco:
Thank you very much, all set up and running.

I appreciate all the help!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] madsc13n41s4:
So, no more updates for this kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
currently i am busy with things so dont have time to update this or other kernels
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
How well does this work with stock rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
It works well, make sure to instal the wifi modules or wifi wont work. Theres a few things I've noticed after using for awhile, could just be my opinion but :

- stock kernel has, for lack of better term, has a "stronger 1024mhz" with Doom kernel set at 1024 for certain games you will need to change governor to performance or overlock, where stock kernel can stay 122/1024 w/ ondemand govenor and play everything just fine.

- max brightness is much higher on stock kernel, the Doom kernel provides about half as much brightness compared to stock kernel, but same thing on Uk firmware, so its a kernel sources issue I feel.

- max sound in calls and when phone rings or notifys feels louder on stock aswell, but I felt the same way on Uk firmware, again I still feel its the sources being not from r800x.

I have actually gone back to stock 2.3.3 kernel, but DooMKernel cdma is still a good kernel overall and probably lucky we got this one in the first place.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Possible update from the MIUI thread. CrimsonSentinel13 has doom v. 10 running. Only issue is wifi dies not do dhcp. I'm gonna try between classes and post.

Edit: forgot USB cable at home... I'll try later tonight.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
dhcp is easy fix... just one line to change in ramdisk :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
Thank you! Sticking with stock then.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I have a humble request since I have yet to learn how to compile an Android kernel (Linux side is easy for me though...). Could you compile a "special" v10 for us CDMA users with that quick change? I think all of us would greatly appreciate it.

I hope that you could find time to do it since I know that you are quite busy & I don't want to be a bother but your kernel is one of the best for the R800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
send me the link to the kernel which has dhcp working for ur device..

on this v01-cdma kernel, does dhcp work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
To the second question, yes, dhcp works on v01. I use it daily.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok so just to confirm:

the v10 kernel posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176502

works well for CDMA users only issue being wifi DHCP?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You can look up kernel compiling instructions in the CM wiki. Of course, you'll have to use Doom's sources instead of the CM ones, but the dependencies and steps are good for any device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Yes, the v10 GSM works with all but WiFi DHCP. v1 CDMA works perfectly with everything.

Last night I just found out that WiFi is a bit flaky with v10 even with a static IP configuration, too. Might be connected to the same issue though.

I'm really pondering about learning to do it since I have a Linux VM on my desktop.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats good news... so the main kernel (zImage) can be merged and i dont need to maintain different sources :) this means i only need to modify the ramdisk a bit for CDMA version... lets see if i have time i can try n create a common ramdisk...

are u 100% sure that USB mounting/vibrations/radio (wireless communication) works when u use the v10-GSM kernel on CDMA?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
sdcard sometimes remounts randomly with v10 (not sure if its an app doing this but I have a fairly clean phone for the moment)

USB mounting works correctly

3G data works quite well

Vibration works correctly
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
There's not so much to learn, fortunately. It's pretty straightforward: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
There is a LOT to learn... Even I am learning new things everyday...

Only reading a guide and executing a few commands is not the end of it... It's not even the tip of the iceberg :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Lol, of course there are lots of things to learn about kernels, but the compilation part is mechanic.

btw, do you recommend any toolchain over the others?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Prebuilt android toolchain, the original.

You could also try G++ for ARM or the linaro.

DooMKernel v10 CDMA test

DooMKernel v10 CDMA test

ok so here is my latest PLAY GSM kernel with CDMA ramdisk

[ download link ]

[PLAY][CDMA] DooMKernel (v10) [1.6 GHz version] (will show up as #1010)

MD5HASH: f4a97b11407718ebe6c6c4f1b14611db

test it out... if everything works correctly the CDMA users will get updates as often as GSM users as i can use a common kernel :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
WiFi works great! Thanks DooMLoRD! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
great!

this is great news for the CDMA users and for me ;)

just check if there are any other issues...

also are u using any specific patches for this kernel (ment for GSM) to work on ur CDMA device?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Chevyowner's CDMA patch which is built into the R800x UK ROM. I'm not sure if its a kernel patch/module or a patch to the system image.

I'll definitely keep a look out for any further issues. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I will try this out later on 007's UK Rom, those wifi speeds are sick.

Doom, what would the main differences be between this and V01 of your CDMA kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
great!!! keep checking for any specific issues

i dont remember exact changes but u can compare the feature list in this thread to the feature list in GSM thread...

BTW this test kernel is using GSM PLAY's (R800i/R800a) kernel sources so i dont know if this will cause any issues on CDMA PLAY (R800x)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
at first my phone ran really slow, then I realized the no frills overclock app was set at 134mhz for both settings.... lol. adjusted the setting to 1.2ghz and ZOOOOOOM. Everything seems awesome, especially the no auto brightness. I deleted Hactyls auto brightness app and brightness is set at maximum, no need for auto brightness. ( I really would like to thank Hactyl for his auto brightness app it has been a godsend) I will keep an eye on it for the time being and post anything if an issues arises. Also I did not have to flash any wifi modules for this, just the kernel. CDMA stock ROM on 2.3.3. Awesome work DoomKernel.... HUGE THANK YOU!!!! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Very nice to know that it works with stock, which means that any CDMA ROM will work with it. I also can confirm the 134Mhz max/min default (at least with the GSM v10). Didn't see it when I re-imaged with the CDMA v10 but I had already altered it with No Frills.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Just flashed the v10 CDMA test kernel on the UK rom. Hardware buttons seem to be broken.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
If that is the case, push the attached file (remove .txt) to /system/usr/keylayout.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Successfully pushed the attached file and rebooting now.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Will give this kernel a spin for the day.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Another glitch of note, when someone calls me, the CPU drops to 134MHz max/min even after I set it in No Frills. Possible flakiness with CMDA voice connection too when this occurs.

I'll give the dalvik-cache a good cleaning & try some more.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I did experience the max frequency being set to 134mhz upon first booting, but I received a call and it did not change form the 1613mhz I set with No Frills.

EDIT: Had to revert back to v01. Camera was broken on v10
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I can confirm camera freezes when a picture is taken.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
In addition to my last post, the Phone/Dialer app totally locks up & the CDMA voice connection totally drops after someone tries to call me. I can't do much after this & wind up rebooting the phone in order to call anyone back. I may have to revert to v01 temporarily until the bugs are ironed out, too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Had anybody checked with either antutu CPU Master (paid) or setCPU to see if it's a profile that is setup up where it automatically drops CPU speeds in response to a call? (I have CPU Master, and I have it drop to 386mhz on calls...)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Set CPU has an on call profile.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just what i thought...

some bugs are expected as the test kernel is actually for GSM device...

anyway please do testing on clean stock ROM w/o any "tweaks"...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I can confirm that these issues don't occur with GSM v10 (except WiFi of course). WiFi works great but calls don't with CDMA v10 test.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
interesting...

will post another test version tonight
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
OK, I have spent a day ifddling with this new kernel to see how it does. Sof ar calls work for me i believe CrimsonSentinel mentioned calls did not work for him, if I am wrong correct me. I am on stock Verizon 2.3.3 rom and the only thing i have found so far is the camera locks up when a photo is taken. Again if I come across anything else I will post feedback but after 24 hours this is all I am finding. Also it might be me but after some time it seems like the brightness is not at 100% despite the fact I have it set to that, seems more like 80% much better then original brightness on stock kernel, not a big deal I do like to have the brightness on maximum.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sadegh1993:
hello

excuse me is this Kernel for GSM Version ? have GSM version any problem ?

could any body test M3D Benchmark? the link of that is in my sign.

have you see that video in my signature?

thank you
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Read the title. This is a test for cdma devices. There is a thread dedicated to gsm kennel by the same OP.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ShawnsCompRepair:
I need a working link to this kernel , the wifi joules and the stock wifi modules.

I killed my wifi going to a different kernel and can't go back to this one or fix that one cause megaupload is no longer with us, I've search and searched and asked in q&a section and found one set of wifi modules but it didn't fix it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ShawnsCompRepair:
Ok so after a bit of reading , I'm running the gsm kernel v10 on my r800x everything works but camera and wifi, camera will work fine with night camera but not stock camera and wifi turns on and trys to connect but bombs out on obtaining ip address , just says disabled under the ssid of the router after a few , I'm coming from cdma doom lord cdma v01 1.9ghz and fts v04 ( i flashed these a while back and stuck with them ). I think I need to go back to stock full stock and try again but with out the links working to the majority of the threads I'm kinda stuck.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
I can link u the R800x stock 2.3.3 kernel if you'd like.
[Xperia Play Android Development] SmackDown!:
Help please: I did the porcedure but my device doesn't turn on. I only see the doomkernel Logo :(

Help :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Try flashing the kernel again by taking out the battery, putting it back in, holding the search button & plugging in the USB cable. Flash reflash the kernel via fastboot mode or find another kernel that works for you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Can I push the files for the Wifi Modules for the stock kernel manually? I can't get into CWM to flash it...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Yes, but make sure that the permissions are correct
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Any updates regarding any future test or final releases?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Don't think so, afaik DooMLoRD is busy porting the 3.0 kernel to the mogami board (arc, arc s) and will do it for the zeus board (play gsm, play cdma) :)

But doing this will take lots of time :)

I can't give u guys a fixed timeline.... I am very busy with some personal work... So as and when I get time for android dev

, I will see which kernel to work on...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Greatly appreciate the responses. I'm currently testing v10 with a absolutely clean system image. I'll just need to get my wife to call me, in order to see if the frequency reduction occurs while the phone app starts up. Overall, its working extremely well.

*glares at the miniscule internal storage that won't work with a plethora of games no matter what ROM is used*
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Link2SD works to cure that long as you have a decent sd card.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Yeah, I've used it & have seen many issues with it. I'm looking at other methods to negate it. I may wind up resizing the internal partitions to make /data larger by taking a ton from /cache.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Link2SD only symlinks (symbolic link, linux term) the apps from /data to /sd-ext and /sd-ext is the mounted ext partition of SD, whereas I am sure you could just mount the sd card ext partition as /data and have the data partition mounted as /data2 lol

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I'll see what I can figure out. I'd like to have a more substantial method than symlinking since if the ext4 partition doesn't mount correctly (/data/sdext2), it breaks a lot of apps after startup.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Request for update to reflect newest GSM version.

I can confirm that the v10 test is totally stable.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:

Would it be possible for you to update this kernel to have the same commit changes as you did with the GSM kernel?

As in v10-modCWM-v5 CDMA?

Don't know if its been mentioned by I am on v10 of the kernel and I am unable to take pictures. Camera broken.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Anyone have the DooMKernel previous to the v10 GSM/CDMA combo? I need the 1.6ghz. The reasons are 2

1. On the latest DooMKernel camera does not work, it locks up

2. The sound volume when its up all the way is really quiet compared to the older DooMKernel. The most recent version of the kernel I have is from Nov. and its possible that may be the most recent but as the download links are all broken I am unable to find it.

Can anyone help?
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
+1 I haven't noticed the volume bug as jgregory but my camera and video are both broken. Also hoping someone can re-upload it
