I just unlocked the bootloader of the phone and lost all data including phone data of contacts and sd card data :(

Damn, never saw that coming, now what is the easiest way to install the CWM on Xperia Play.

I have root as well.

I want to do this before doing anything as I do not want to lose data again.

Please suggest. Basically I want this so that I can install ICS/other themes via flashable zip and also some tweaks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l8sht:
I too would like to know this. Disappointed by lack of guides coming from the HTC Desire which was so hacker friendly and full of instructions. I've unlocked bootloader and rooted but there's hardly any roms plus don't even know how to install the ones that are available! Did my root install CWM?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2maddy:
Root does not install it, there are few ROMs which I have come across, but was struggling to find a proper install method w/o losing data.

I have been suggested this method which I am yet to try.

For now was moving apks to get the ICS look which I pretty much succeeded along with ADW Launcher.

Will try the bootloader unlock and then you know but will take time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
If I understand the following function in SGS2 correct, google servers back up my application data wifi Passwords and other settings in cloud on their servers.

If this is actually correct, then I dont even need an app like Titanium backup and wouldnt have to think twice about installing a new ROM since all my app data and personal settings will be restored automatically.

But after installation of a new ROM (with wipe data/factory reset) google account downloads and installs all my apps from the market but does not also restore the app data along with it. I noticed even my wifi passwords are not restored since I had to give passwords again, after the new rom was intalled, in order to access my wifi network.

I am on UnNamed 2.1.1.

Am I missing something? Your help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] enkur:
yes in my experience it has never saved any of my WIFI settings or app data. Its pretty misleading on Google's part that they back up everything. Also if there is any sort of interruption in the app download from the market then all hope of getting those app back are lost and you have to manually download them (I had that happen a couple of times).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dnorthington:
It is misleading and some ROMs also disable the auto restore function. Definitely get titanium backup. Just be careful restoring system data. Usually best to only restore missing apps with data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
titanium backup has never saved my wifi connections or passwords when I tell it to, why not?

i wanna say thanks to the devs and OP, this got me started with adding custom ROMs and made the process must easier.

i'm curious though, is there any way to make a nand backup of my original firmware? (incase i need to bring the phone back, i don't want to be blamed for having a custom ROM)

TL;DR is there any way to go back to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] samydroid:
You can go back to stock but for that you need to have the firmware build that your gio is currently running (e.g. JPKC1/JPKE1/etc.). If you manage to get hold of that firmware then you can flash it via odin and go back to stock anytime. That itself would act as a backup to go back to stock. For backing up your apps, you can use titanium backup. Its pretty awesome!

Since i cant post in the developers section due to less amount of posts, can anyone tell me what is a2sdtremor and simple2ext about? All i need is something that i can move anything to the sd card and keep more ram and internal memory free, should i install a2sdtremor or simple2ext from the cyanogenmod 7.2 thread? can anyone give me a detailed guide to install it and can i still make ext2 partition and install a2sdtremor or simpleext on this rom or i have to flash the rom again? any help would be appreciated.

Did a clean install with 28th build. Basically, formatted everything, flashed CM9, flashed GApps and rebooted. Everything works normally, besides initial wizard crashed once (seen this alot with different devices). Only now remembered that factory reset would've been good to do after gapps flash but oh well, doesn't seem to matter at least currently. ;-)

Also codeworkx, the speaker volume level increase made me really happy!

On todays build. Working really smooth on stock kernel. Gonna sit on this one for a while, liking the 3.0.8 so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeyrhyme:
I was previously using the clean 4.0.2 image from Google, and getting 36+ hours of use between charges. This was much better than the 4.0.1 image that Telstra left me on.

I've noticed that CM9 nightly seems to have half the battery life. "Android OS" is now the primary consumer of power according the Battery screen. I did have "moving average" for automatic backlight levels enabled, which probably leaves the sensor on all the time. I've disabled this today to see if it improves.

Also, I don't seem to be able to change the maximum CPU speed in Performance settings. No matter what I select, it stays stuck to 1200MHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ushim6:

Can someone confirm if Spotify works with this ROM? It wouldn't work with CM7 on my Sensation or my Galaxy S2. I'd like to make the move to CM9 but need Spotify working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeyrhyme:
Well, 4 hours later with the "moving average" filter disabled, and I've only lost 15% of my battery. "Screen" is now the top battery hog (as expected), and "Android OS" is just below "Idle" which is great.

It's a shame this is a nightly, because otherwise I'd report this bug upstream.

TL;DR: turn off "moving average" filter for automatic backlight because it is far from battery efficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lokto7:
Try setting Sample interval to 10s for less battery consumption.

You may need to change Window length to at least 30s for the system to calculate the moving average with at least 3 samples.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
It looks you upgrade and you didn't flash the gapps.Go to cwm recovery and flash gapps v10

Do after flash wipe cache and dalvik cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeyrhyme:
I think I'll just leave it off. Personally, I think if the display is off, then the sensors shouldn't be active at all. That's an upstream problem, obviously.

Other than that little tweak, I'm very happy I switched. Trebuchet bridges the gap between the stock ICS launcher and ADW. I like that 4.0.3 has a fixed Calendar widget that properly displays all-day events, too.

I used to be able to cause random reboots with Latitude on 4.0.2. I haven't turned Latitude on again yet, but I'll let you know how it goes.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbroeders:
I don't exactly know what the problem is, but you could try to fix permissions in recovery (under advanced options I believe). But I'm afraid you may have to completely wipe your SD card. What you should try is to rename the DCIM folder to DCIM_tmp. Then try to make a picture. It should automatically make a new DCIM folder, see if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_alien:
Thx for your reply, unfortunately fix_permissions didn't help.

But I didn't have to wipe the SD card. The permissions shown on /data/media/ were different to the ones shown in /sdcard/. So I changed the owner of DCIM in /data/media to media_rw.media_rw like most of the other folders had.

Now it is working again.

Is there any way to change the cam sound back to the original "bleep" instead of the actual shutter sound?

May I ask why you went back to your 3.0.17 kernel? I'm asking because I'm running 3.0.8 (own build/kang) myself and it's running great. So, I was wondering what the (major) differences are. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ushim6:
It's simply the updated Linux kernel. End-user experience isn't going to change that much, but it's most likely got security fixes and various enhancements.
