[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yeah, once you done that grab a beer and get some sleep.

Could do with a pint myself, if only I was old enough.

Think I found some good mates here in the play section, definitely not changing my device in the next two years then.

[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Hold on mate... First atleast get in touch with the whole team...

Wow, you guys really are amazing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
any progress team :D?

if devs need a way to quicker communicate use the chat :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Box works great for internal file sharing (upload speeds are great), and now with 50GB you have space for lots of things. Also if I were you I'd set up a Google Plus circle among the devs (because obviously you all have Google accounts), so hangouts become easy to manage.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
link me up to your G+ :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
I have g+ but don't use it
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:

adb in recovery fixed :)

now taking care of usb mass storage support
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Can you post patches for each fix so I can add it to https://github.com/keiranFTW/semc-kernel-icx
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
done... USB mass storage fixed in recovery :)

now i am confident that recovery is fully working....

will do some final checks...

then will post working recovery ramdisk..

are we still using bootic-2.img right?

so i can update that ramdisk directly with working recovery
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Still using bootic-2.img :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Keiran buddy,

these patches are not for kernel...

they are related to ramdisk and recovery sources...

FYI: the new ICS kernel adds new USB gadget which requires very specific ramdisk changes to make adb/MSC/etc work... and recovery also has to be recompiled to support these changes...

in my opinion u guys handle the ROM work...

i think i can take care of the kernel myself.... if i need help i will ask...
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Ah right, I thought you might have been talking about ramdisk.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
you didn't need to add new drivers.. I haven't and mass storage mount works..

does it work for xperia? if not I know what is the issue
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
SEMC has added new drivers...

dont worry its taken care of already :)

got it (USB stuff) all working w/o touching kernel source
[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
Great, I really hope that I was helpful here
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ofcourse dude :)

hope to see u around again!

@ALL

update the build.prop to reflect correct PID for Xperia play...

this one is for ARC

persist.usb.pid_suffix=14F

this one is for PLAY

persist.usb.pid_suffix=15D
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You were, we currently are using your desire HD build on our plays, with a few fixes.

1 question, how do you force portrait mode?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
And that will fix the usb?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
USB already works, just not in recovery, this will fix it, yes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
darn there are so many ROM files :(

which one is the latest one?

which one do i download for testing?

someone kindly upload correct MD5HASHES too...

not everyone has huge bandwidth ;) and currently my ISP hates me :P getting major packet loss...

right now i have downloaded "bootic-2.img" i am getting MD5HASH as c04fe1096b947e31a27496162c9898b9

is that correct?
[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
my build was portrait from the start..

there must be a switch somewhere,,, but currently I'm trying to get new qcom libraries to work with my build... I think soon you'll have another update ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Any idea about fixing data?

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

DooMLoRD, i ran the command

md5sum bootic-2.img

and the output is:

c04fe1096b947e31a27496162c9898b9 bootic-2.img
[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
Ideas are everywhere :)

but like I said, no time to do that now.. working on something

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I found this in framework_base_core_res_res_values_config.xml

<!-- If true, the direction rotation is applied to get to an application's requested

orientation is reversed. Normally, the model is that landscape is

clockwise from portrait; thus on a portrait device an app requesting

landscape will cause a clockwise rotation, and on a landscape device an

app requesting portrait will cause a counter-clockwise rotation. Setting

true here reverses that logic. -->

<bool name="config_reverseDefaultRotation">false</bool>

try setting this to true
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
uploaded the new boot.img with fixed ramdisk and recovery...

zImage: same as the one in bootic-2.img

ramdisk: updated to support adb/usb mounting & fixed recovery

it is in the kernels folder of the FTP

filename: bootic-3.img

md5hash: f594e35aa2a629ccee6892f75a01af2d
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
yes - c04fe1096b947e31a27496162c9898b9

also alpha4 is - ac5e54013c57204b7fcb61aabb990bee
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ive had my play running alpha 3 all day with no major issues other than what we already know :). good to see you in here lord clockan :) i know the 4.0.3 build doesn seem to like the plays gfx at moment from my tests last night,
[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
@steve:

looks like our paths always cross somwhere :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
indeed :)

ok back to looking at how to fix things here now
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
steve check the latest kernel i uploaded on server (bootic-3.img)

let me know if it works correctly (adb & usb mounting in recovery is fixed)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ill look in a moment doom :)

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

doomlord can confirm adb and usb mount works fine in recovery here, will see how it boots shortly too, any chance of overclock in this kernel ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ya overclock and other goodies is very easy...

already have the sources patched up and ready ;)

just wanted to give u guys a stable base for ROM related work...

once we get the basic things sorted out (GSM data, screen orientation,etc) i will release a full fledged kernel...

dont want the kernel messing up the ROM development :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
smart idea ;)im still looking at the rotation tho as its weird why its being stupid
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Rotation has nothing to do with sensor libs as we got them from a desire z port and they didnt work on our ROM but they worked on the other port we did it was jusrt extremly slow! :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
what port was that,
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
desire z :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
We still cant get data to work, any idea's of a fix?

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

[Xperia Play Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
for rotation fix: https://github.com/LorDClockaN/platform_device_htc_ace/blob/ics/init.spade.rc

look into line 106

you need to add that class main in your init.rc
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Thankyou, Il add that now...

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Apparently we already have a similar service in the init.rc and that wont work...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats cause we still use ARC ramdisk...

we have to use PLAY specific ramdsik

It is based upon the official ICS Build (edited by sony ericsson)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:

[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i don't know.

Can test it tomorrow but if someone can test it it would be great
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
i would love to test but im not clear about instructions..Could you explain me in easier and elaborated terms ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok

Flash back to stock (use flashtool)

Flash kernel v2

Boot recovery

Wipe everything (dalvik with hack)

Flash Alpha 3

After first boot pull battery out and put it in again (maybe not needed on alpha 3)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
Ok i am on stock 0.42 fw. I didnt get the part about installing nasty play, Also i relocked my bootloader guess have to unlock it again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
yes you need to unlock

how did you locked it followed the relock thread (or did you only flash .42?)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
flashed relock.ftf. And what abt the nasty play
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i dont think nastyplay need to be flashed because i edited the build.prop.

So unlock bootloader and follow my installation:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
ok doing it right away. Just backing up apps with titanium then good to go. I guess i should have kept the bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
yes keep it unlocked:)

if you need warranty just relock it again!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
i flashed with kernel v2. but the device isnt booting ?? does it normally take time to boot ??
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
first boot may takes up to 10 minutes

do you get sony ericsson logo + text?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
after flashing the kernel v2 through fastboot ..it didnt boot.. so i went to recovery, applied wipe dalvik cache and falshed alpha 3. The install completed and rebooted system from recovery. Now waiting for it to boot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok if it doesnt boot try kernel v1
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
kernel v2 didnt work.. tried flashing kernel v1 and got Doom kernel logo at startup. Waiting for device to fully boot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok

with kernel v2 wich bootlogo do you get?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
Doom Kernel logo with android in grim reaper costume. its says Booting Doomkernel. almost 5 minutes over now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
try reflash everything
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
ok reflashed. i didnt flash the dalvick cache hack.zip. Is it why it is not booting up?

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

stuck at doomkernel logo
[Xperia Play Android Development] ff7fan4eva:
Those instructions are complicated, i've done all of them and i'm stuck at the doomkernel logo

The thing i dont get and i think where i failed.. i flashed the v2 kernel and got a blank screen, i then flashed the v1 kernel (both) and i get the logo but no recovery (pressing any hardware key e.g volume down, back etc) so i flashed dooms kernal for the stock rom did all the instuctions up to flashing the alpha 3 and dalvic cache zip

I then flashed the v2 kernel restarted.... blank screen, v1, doom kernel logo, tried to flash recovery didnt work, cant you make it all simpler please, one hell of a complicated non working process, cheers for the thought though :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
Okay.. heres what i did..

1) flashed 4.0.A.2.368 fw for 36 baseband .ftf with flashtool

2) flashed 4.0.A.2.42 fw excluding the baseband. .ftf with flashtool.

3) flashed kernel V2. rebooted. Blank screen.

4) flashed kernel v1. rebooted stuck at doomkernel logo.

5) went to recovery, wiped data/caches.

6) Install zip from sd card , installed alpha 3, then installed dalvik cache hack zip.

7) rebooted from recovery

8) stuck at Doomkernel logo with green android wearing a grim reaper costume.

Where i am going wrong?
