I also get stuck at the splash screen with the GrimDroid. The recovery is working and I really like the new red recovery text. I just pulled the battery and powered back on and still stuck at GrimDroid. I tried the 1.6GHz one on verizon 2.3.3 firmware. I don't think it would make a difference for me to flash the 3.0.1.A.0.145 firmware because I am not even getting to the boot animation.

EDIT: BTW, here is the verizon stock wifi module from 2.3.3 3.0.1.E.0.88 firmware. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35097081/bcm4329.ko
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
test version
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
Boots and as far as i can tell everything works perfectly thank you soo much for this doom finally have wifi and a camera. only complaints not using grimdroid splash screen and soo many I/O schedulers and governors idk what one to choose anymore lol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Curious about this. About to try it on 007s modified UK rom.

Also, yeah. What is the best combination for i/o and governor. Just flashed it, camera and wifi seem to work ok, and chose noop i/o, and lagfee governor to test first.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 007shark:
This is also working with the stock verizon 2.3.3 firmware. Overclocking is working confirmed with CPU Spy. Wifi and camera are working.

EDIT: Finally a reason for R800x users to get their bootloaders unlocked. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
great :)

now i will make a proper "final" version with newest recovery and new logo ;)

hold on for few minutes
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
v01-FINAL

this version booted up on my R800i so i think it will (hopefully) work on R800x

i am using older ramdisk from my .468 FW GSM kernel with all new stuff (new recovery, new logo, etc ;) )
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
Well after several hours of using this everything has been fine except I had one random shut down, running stock frequencies, conservative governor and noop i/p scheduler. Same settings I used with the v3 kernel no issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xrishox:
thank you very much! it works really well! are you going to be mantaining this along side the gsm kernel? i really hope so. I'm loving the 2ghz kernel! I went and bought the pay version of xcharge reboot to show my support.

i have one question though, is there a way to boot into recovery while the kernel is loading like you can in cm7's kernel? when the free xperia logo is showing if you just mash all the keys randomly it'll bring up their cwm instead of the rom. is it possible with your kernel?

i've tried it for about 45 minutes now with no problems. It's working flawlessly. i've done some stress testing, checked out the new cpu governors and it's all good so far. I'll respond back if i come across any problems though.

thanks for all your hard work and keep it up! i really appreciate it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yup when u see the bootlogo watch the LED, when it turns BLUE keep pressing BACK button
[Xperia Play Android Development] bladestonez:
Yeah I've been trying for the last 20 minutes to get into recovery nothing works about to go back to v3 so I can make backups :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
buddy i could enter recovery at the first go...

u just need to watch the LED notification (at power button) as soon as it turns BLUE keep pressing BACK button

BTW i tested only on R800i
[Xperia Play Android Development] xrishox:
i can't get into the recovery menu either. I've tried holding down the back button as soon as it turns blue, i've tried pressing it really fast as soon as it turns blue, i've tried pressing it in slower intervals as soon as it turns blue and i've tried pressing it repeatedly from the time i hit the power button, and nothing seems to put it into the recovery menu.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
are u sure u guys are using the latest

v01-FINAL

?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok so just to confirm before i begin merging...

the current firmware on the R800x is 3.0.1.E.0.88 correct? so i can merge the official 3.0.1.E.0.88.tar.bz2 kernel sources right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Yupp
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok... i will merge them later as the current work merge work is almost finished... expect a kernel release soon...

[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Thanks for the updated kernel Doom, this is running pretty nice and the recovery is awesome also I'm glad to have this on my r800x, as always nice work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just looking for some clarification. Bu the look of the menu that pops up on the new kernel, is it a menu of selecting which version of Recovery I want to use?

Boot Official CWM5 Rec.

Boot modCWM-v4 Rec.

Boot Full Touch CWM5 Rec.

What is "Execute Custom Script"?

And also which version of Rec is best and are there any differences to each individual Rec? Sorry for all the questions just not sure why all the Recoveries.....

Also what is boot manager?

Dont have to go into full blown detail just an idea for each.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Hey doom, to make auto brightness enable/disable from the menus,

(Quoted from my kernel thread)

In the ramdisk I have for 2.3.3, init.semc.rc has a line

(63) chown system system /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

I noticed that when this is applied to DooM's ramdisk, it disables the als ... I'll try to pull apart the 2.3.3 source and see where it leads, but i'm curious if this works on the other devices
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I am to guess this Kernel is meant for 2.3.3 and is not compatible with ICS? Speaking of that is it possible to make a Kernel that can work on both 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and ICS?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes this kernel is ment only for GB... I don't think its possible to have common kernel for gb & ics as both require a lot of changes in kernel source and also

changes in ramdisk...

Please check the links in my GSM kernel thread....

Hmmm sounds interesting...
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Thanks for the reply Doom, appreciate it... I will look into the GSM thread..:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Holy cow, DoomLord, you got a HTC One X already? That's one hell of a beast! Handle it with care! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
so guys is everything from the following test kernel working correctly on the R800x (GB)?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
As always another good DooMKernel release, all the normal o/c functions are working good, camera/wifi aswell. The recovery is working and looks great and functions nicely. It feels like fps are more consistent but maybe its just me? It runs pretty smooth.

I would say everything is great besides the autobrightness ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
DooMLoRD, disable autobrightness:

Find Zeus board file in kernel source

Change als_connected=1 to 0, then recompile, autobrightness is now gone.

Sent from my R800i using Darkforest ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok... i wanted an alternative which is not hardcoded... i will keep searching but incase i cant find it i will disable it in kernel...
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
That's the best way to do it, other methods involve disabling it but they only work until the screen is turned off, once its back on auto brightness comes back :)

Sent from my R800i using Darkforest ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
What about the method pax used? It seemed to work fine, autoB stayed off when it was unchecked and did not come back on ever until re checked. Is there something I just don't know that prevents from using the method pax used?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Wonder who told you how to do that. ;)

Disabling it in display settings works fine too :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
DooM this is running really nice, thanks again for the great update!

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] zektor:
First, I want to say thanks for a great kernel. I am using it with Dark Forest 3.0.5 and it works great (1.6ghz version).

However, v02's recovery seems to have a slight issue. I cannot install the wifi modules from this recovery. When you select to install the zip, it hangs and never installs it.

v01's recovery flashes the wifi modules just fine, but I like the new touch recovery of v02 ;) Why does it not work to flash the modules? And yes, I am trying to install the correct updated wifi modules for v02 ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ryocoon:
This kernel is pretty damn good. I went from about 6-10 hours on battery to about 1.5 days on battery with just this kernel update (including overclocking to 1.5GHz). SERIOUS upgrades.

Thanks much for your work on CDMA stock. We appreciate it greatly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. This kernel is awesome.... Thank you for updating it and releasing it to the masses.. :D:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
I just installed the kernel... I haven't gotten recovery to work on test2 yet, but I'm probably hitting a wrong button. Also, my signal bars stay white and do not turn green.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
The back button enters recovery and the signal bars will stay white until you sync a google account
[Xperia Play Android Development] zektor:
Nobody knows why wifi modules cannot be installed after installing v02 kernel? It just freezes in installing and never really installs them. The recovery in v01 does not act this way and installs them just fine.

I guess nobody uses wifi in v02 :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] toppdogg93:
lil help

hey i know its a noob question but how do you save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)

I just got a xperia play and for some reason my analong stick stop working so i sent it back for a replacement and in the meantime looking for a perfect rom for it ..
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
When you click on the link to download, choose to save it in the same folder as fastboot.

(If you're running chrome goto menu ->preferences ->under the hood -> click the check box asking you to tell it where to download every time)

Otherwise, copy(or cut)/paste the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot
[Xperia Play Android Development] ryocoon:
WiFi modules for v02 work just fine in kernel v02. I'm using v02 and using WiFi regularly (even for aGPS skyhook triangulation as well). I flashed them in and they are working correctly. If you got a bad download, or are using the WiFi modules from v01 or for stock, they won't work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zektor:
No doubt they work, but did you USE v02 recovery to install v02 wifi modules? That is my question. I downloaded the modules mutiple times, and double checked consistency of MD5 and SHA-1. It was a proper download. I can install the kernel just fine via fastboot, as well as enter the new touch recovery just fine as well. However, when I select to install the wifi modules (yes, v02) it hangs there. I can hit the back button and go back to the menu. Try again, and again, it hangs there. It is like the recovery is having a problem opening the zip file. Just wondering if perhaps you flashed with fastboot recovery.img or the image built into the kernel?

I am just concerned that is v02 has issues installing zips, will I have other issues down the road using it. I want to use it as it features many improvements over v01, but it failing to install a zip is concerning is all.

NEVERMIND.

The upload was apparently changed. I redownloaded and the recovery (while touch) is different, and the wifi modules install now. The MD5 hashes on the main page do not reflect any of the files, so something was changed here ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
Sorry for the bump. Will this ever be updated for 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Oops wrong thread :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
Lol. It's for 2.3.3 CDMA :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
A test kernel for 2.3.4 has been posted some time back on "Verizon nandroid backup" thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trev186:
Hi,

I am helping my friend setup his Xperia play and I made a really stupid mistake....

I accidentally flashed the wifi modules without installing Doomlord's kernel..

MNy other problem is the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked...

ergo I cant get on Doomlord's kernel

The wifi on the phone always says error now.

Anything I can flash to put the stock wifi settings back?

I did a full wipe but no dice
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
You could use flash tool, you dont need an unlocked BL to use it and its the second thread in the development section. You could contact Alejandrissimo to unlock your/his BL then you have full freedom of the device :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trev186:
Well I tired using flash tool to flash and got no where... it keeps saying the device is not rooted on fastboot when though it is....

I also tried the unlock bootloader feature in flash tool and it would not work.

Any how I dropped it off at a stop for the time being cause Iam tired...they seemed to think they could do it and for $45 im cool with that.

Ill report back more if I have issues. Hopefully they unlock the bootloader and the kernel flashes ok
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Well even with flashtool, you need an unlocked bootloader to use fastboot. And Alejandrissimo's unlock bootloader process costs 24$ :rolleyes:, I was suggesting flashtool so you could reflash your firmware an get back to stock and solve your problems and start modding things from scratch. I hope the shop takes care of you nonetheless!

Edit: actually before my other post I should have just pointed you in the direction of stock wifi modules.. I'm sorry I always forgot about those!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trev186:
Mind pointing me to those stock wifi modules now ? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trev186:
Can anyone link me the stock wifi modules ?

What happened to updating this for 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
2.3.4 does not work, nothing for that will be updated until Verizon releases a fix or a working update
[Xperia Play Android Development] geelepejota:
I am using the Kernel doom the official Sony ICS Rom! Running until the perfect moment!

Any plans for an update kernel DoomLord?
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
For those of you who can't find doomkernel for r800x in 2.3.4 I figured I can post it here (even i had a hard time finding this kernel) However camera is broken for video or picture and currently there is no fix for this. Also for some reason when I hook up my xperia play (flashed with doomkernel 2.3.4) to my pc it doesn't show mass storage and i can't seem to access my sd card on my computer. (I don't know if it is rom or kernel related that is causing this!) Wifi is fixed when I flashed cdma v2 wifi modules. Going into CWM recovery works on my r800x works by pushing the back button.

[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just trying to remember didn't doomlord say something aboutbupdating the cdma 233 kernel to something more of what the gsm kernel was at feature wise but that it would only happen when the cdma 234 kernel was available?
[Xperia Play Android Development] run4jit:
Does v2 work with 2.3.2?
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
V1 and V2 that's posted on this thread by Doomlord work only with 2.3.3 firmware.
[Xperia Play Android Development] run4jit:
Thanks for your inputs chery2k! But, I don't see anything mentioning 2.3.2 or something in the first post. :rolleyes: I can see "Latest Stock SE firmware" which is 2.3.4 for R800x right? So, you mentioning 2.3.3 got me confused. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
There is no doomkernel based off 2.3.4 as the 2.3.4 update from Verizon is a mess. All sorts of things broken in it. DoomKernel V1 & V2 are for 2.3.3
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
Doomlord is there a way to fix the camera functionality on your release of 2.3.4? Id be willing to test it and send logcats. I dont get care about Google push notifications I just want the camera to be fixed on 2.3.4.

Looking at DoomLords recent posts the only thread that he is still replying to for the Xperia PLAY is the ICS GSM Kernel.

[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I PM'd DoomLord last week about the wifi issues with the DoomKernel for CDMA users and he finally replied

hi Jesse,

i am really busy with my studies and currently have my exams going on... so not able to get time out for getting back to android development...

i will try and find some time to help u guys out but i cant promise anything concrete any time soon... sorry...

I appreciate him replying and I am sure we can all understand that people have lives outside of XDA, but I am hopefull.
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
At this point I'd pay someone to make a functional 2.3.4 kernel for us R800x. Doomlord if your reading this the current issues I'm dealing with your 2.3.4 kernel is: camera forecloses as it opens, wifi disconnects, and mounting sd card to pc (my pc doesnt recognize the sd card is mounted when I hooked my xperia play) Doomlord can you please make time for us. =/

The kernel called v02 when downloaded shows v01 test in the file name. These are the correct kernels for version 2 aren't they in the OP?
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
What version kernel are you looking for 2.3.3 or 2.3.4? V1 and v2 listed ob this thread is for 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Quick question: I've flashed the baseband from verizon's stock 2.3.4 update (only the baseband). Can I still use the version 2 in the OP of this thread or will that cause me problems? If problems, whats the best way to revert to 2.3.3 baseband to retain compatibility?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
If you flashed only the baseband from 2.3.4 then you will have no prob using the kernel posted. I would also flash the 2.3.4 baseband lib files (I can send you a flashable zip if you'd like for them) and if you would chose to revert back to 2.3.3 baseband you can simply flash the 2.3.3 baseband just as you did for 2.3.4. (And the 2.3.3 libs if you flash the 2.3.4 libs)

I went back to using the 2.3.3 baseband though. Still not sure if either make a difference 3g sucks both ways!
