This looks like a great project. I'm going to keep an eye on it so that when you add CDMA support for it, I can give it a shot. Can't wait!
[Xperia Play Android Development] gtanny:
sorry to sound stupid but do i just rename beta3.zip to update.zip and place it in the sdcard root then boot from cwm after i install the kernal from fastboot??
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
You can do it that way, CWM also has an option to install zip from sdcard, so you don't need to rename it
[Xperia Play Android Development] gtanny:
cheers, i was wondering what to do with all the system and META-INF folders but it makes sense that i just install them as zips too

thanks for the speedy response :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
this rom or cm9 or ICS beta. im confused

which one should i use ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Do you ever make a decision on your own? Pick one and try it, for cryin' out loud! :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
When he makes a choice, he moans about gamepad fixes anyway.
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Are you xxx? Just tell me which one is better!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
That depends on what you're looking for. ICX and CM9 are both AOSP based so they are fairly similar to each other. The ICS beta is Sony's beta release, so it's simply a beta version of the official firmware Sony will eventually give us. I've heard good reviews about compatibility and speed with ICX, but CM9 gets updated more frequently.

All three roms are different, so none of them are inherently better than the other
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
You're asking everyone else to make up your mind on which ROM to use, and you call ME an xxx??? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
Please guys, keep it ontopic!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Really thanks for your helpful comments. :)

I want long battery life. Which one is better on battery life ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I think that all of the ROMs are about the same on battery, depending on which kernel you use. Of course, if you overclock, you're naturally going to run hotter and drain battery more quickly. Turning WiFi, BT and GPS off when not in use will help. I also use Juice Defender, which seems to help as well (or at least not hurt any.)

Also you might adopt the policy of only using OC if you need it to improve the speed of a certain app and then reduce back down to normal speeds otherwise.
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
okay bro i will try. thanks for this comment. and i'm sorry about my stupid comment. :(

okay, i installed ICX Beta. But i want to ask one last question.

Background wallpaper is black, ( such as settings, clock app's background)

i want to change like this :

How can i do that ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
oh, data didn't work. :( Im tried with -56 baseband, -64 baseband, but did'nt work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] af974:
Hey, hey....relax yourself ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] giorgoskxf:
if you want to know about a rom flash it and test it and if you like say thnx to the team who developed it or if you found an issue report to its thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Can I use this ROM with the DarkForest4 kernel or does it require having the ICX kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok,

starting again with this rom.

Almost done:)

fixing camera now:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jedipottsy:
nice, ill test as soon as its posted
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
only thing for now: cannot record videos

trying to fix it

video playback works

Edit: for video recording use a 3 party app from the play store

edit2: also added gapps as default (so no need to flash gapps.zip)
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
God i wish you guys would make CDMA work for Verizon :(

CM9 doesn't have much game support and battery dies in 5 hrs

ICS BETA Sony has so little support for CMDA
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i will try to make a CDMA version:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Good luck! No one has been able to get it to work. I think the framework is just too different. You would be a Legendary Dev if you pull that one off.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
got the fix for CDMA!

hopefully it is fully working.

will upload all ASAP
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
No offense, but I'll believe it when I see it actually working. I have seen so many posts now on how someone figured out how to get CDMA working and none of them have actually worked. I'm rooting for you, nick! :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
If anybody could get it, nick would be it. Thanks Nick!

Note: unless nick changed his sources, this wasn't based off the icsBeta for the play.

Sent from my phone, please excuse any Swypos.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
So It would be more like a CM9 build?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
No, iirc it was based off the first beta Sony put out (arc/Neo/etc)

Sent from my phone, please excuse any Swypos.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
source is the almost the same some new things:

added some nice AOKP stuff

updated to 4.0.4

battery life is better then cm9

hopefully CDMA

and more
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
Hey Nick, imma be ready to update the website when you upload the files ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Looking forward to trying this out when you have working 3G data and calls for CDMA.
[Xperia Play Android Development] muhmax:
Is this room suitable for x10?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
no, only for xperia play

if there are more then 4 posts that says that they want a update i will build a complete AOSP rom from 4.0.4 source and i will go furter with this rom:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
I wouldn't mind an extra rom to try :3 :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Supervenom:
Another updated AOSP rom is always welcome!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zacky32:
I dont mind :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
Update !

I'm number 4 ! :o

Do it Nick :cool:

I'm counting on you :D :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok,

going to sync the aosp repo and compile it.

will take some time:(
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
And will there any attempt at CDMA support?
[Xperia Play Android Development] vemoxy:
YES PLEASE! :)

Thank you!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Android Is ReadyTo Play.:
Of course we want ! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
update please!
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Please I want too :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Seeing as how Atarii and KeiranFTW's CDMA Patch works on AOKP and MIUI, I don't see why it wouldn't work here :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] muhmax:
Thanks Nick :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Yes, this was the first almost stable ICS rom i ever flashed. I'd love to see more!
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
It also was the first ICS rom at all for the Play. =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
progress is going slow...

can't get to compile yet and i just bought a xperia p.

but i will still try it:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Xperia p right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
lol yes. very tired :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I wish you could make it using the CM9 sources. I mean CM9 based ROM are the most stable ones so far. They are great, no lag, no force close and so on. But with the ICS xperia play beta based ones, they are always laggy and true, funtionality wise they have less bugs like WiFi hotspot and video decoder and gamepads. But hey, CM9 could be enhanced too
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
One does not simply remake their whole ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Nick can/does :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
Ehm. That was a reply to arian...
[Xperia Play Android Development] blackbox92:
wadefut it said it need sim unlock number?
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
You decided to use an old, unsupported dead ROM, that doesnt even have any special features. Really?
[Xperia Play Android Development] blackbox92:
Hmm, i dont understand,
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Does n e 1 have a working link to this Rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
No sorry, the owner of the site stopped hosting it
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep but my comments for the deque error are for adreno200 not tegra
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Adreno 205 uses same driver as 200.

You might need a CM9 vendor tree, but anything is worth a try.

Might get on Sony's back to use AOSP roms, even if just for devs.

[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
no only landscape

[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
could you upload?

the current one reboots to quick to actually thoroughly test it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok i will upload it now

using it for 30 minutes and no reboots

[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
so with DPI set to 220 you have no reboots?

if you turn the phone off and turn it back on you must wait it is booted en then remove the battery. then turn your phone on and it is stable

dont know why but it works (only alpha 2)

Alsooo..

do we need to do anything in particular to get the no-reboot?

i cant add cwm in the kernel

DooMLoRD can do that

what do you mean with do we need to do anything in particular to get the no-reboot?

[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Wow this thread has exploded!!! ;)

Why r u guys worrying abt LCD density?

Use the libs from ARC build for adreno200... These will be most compatible...

we have MSM8255/MSM7x30 chipset...

There is still a lot of fixing going on for semc devices in cm9

U guys need a good ramdisk right? Wait I will upload a ramdisk which I was working on..

Will try fixing kernel sources today.. the Zeus board file has problems... So might take some time...

Which is the "current working" version?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
That would be great.

Can you add CWm recovery in the ramdisk?

alpha 2 and gsm enabler are the current build!
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ya thats easy ;)

wait which kernel/ramdisk are u using?

upload it for me so that i will edit that one...
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
see third post for the kernel

It is arc ramdisk and cm7 zimage
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ah thats why...

PLAY specific ramdisk might correct sensors :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
o ok,

With a non ICS ramdisk the device won't boot. so i needed to use the arc ramdisk
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Deanboro:

Thank for the enabler.

After flash the device reboots a lot but with pull the battery out and put it in the phone works well!

i can use the browser and the speed of the browser is a lot faster (with my 356kb down and 64 up):(
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes that expected...

anyways here is a test kernel:

zImage -> my PLAY cm7 v02 lower kernel

ramdisk -> hybrid ARC ICS + stock PLAY

I am testing it now
[Xperia Play Android Development] stormtroopercs:
thx plz post results :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i am flashing the rom now with the enabler

See if it make some difference
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
first test: rom is more unstable

lot of reboots:mad:

Will try some things hope it is more stable (sensors doesn't work)

Reflash my own kernel now.

DooMLoRDs kernel is very unstable
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hmmm

i will look into this later tonite...

may be once we start using correct ICS kernel it might help...

please keep me posted abt the latest test builds...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
Hi,

I just bought myself a Desire HD and took it into the local shop to have it unlocked. However, according to the bloke in the shop, he used the wrong software (for Virgin) instead of the software for T Mobile and now my phone isn't starting up. He says that he is waiting for some software to be sent to him, so that he can reflash the correct software onto the phone. Obviously, I am rather worried about this, so can anyone confirm that this is possible and that my phone will be OK. And that iut is a known problem. Apparently he was supposed to have used the software for T Mobile to unlock it, but after using the Virgin software the phone has two conflicting programs trying to run at the same time. A|ny advice will be very welcome.

Many thanks

Ian
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Yikes. They better fix it or replace it. Surprises me that most of the problems with peoples phones are from shops like this. If he has fastboot or adb access he should be fine. Though he should be able to snag what he wants from xda and fix it. Sounds like they are giving you the run around because they can't figure it out. I would demand a replacement.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
Thanks for the quick reply. He has said that he is waiting for the correct software to be sent so that he can reflash the phone back to t mobile and then unlock the phone. This is really P'ing me off at the mo because, I have just bought this phone today to upgrade fron an LG optimus GT540 and was looking forward to playing with it and rooting it like I did the Optimus. If he doesn't sort it out by the end of tomorrow, I will be demanding a replacement.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HACKDROID_X:
to be honest if you are talking about rooting and already on here reading up etc i dont know why you even took it to a phone shop in the first place ,dont want to sound harsh but come on!! unlocking is free via a few methods if you read some of the guides and ofcourse if you got stuck then you have us here on xda to help
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhallowedone:
How exactly does your phone behave? Does it stay black when pushing the power button or hang at the HTC logo etc?

Sent from Desire HD using XDA app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
First of all, I took the phone to a shop because I didn't realise it could be done free from here. I have rooted my LG Optimus which is a much cheaper phone and so I know I can do it. However, I have never unlocked a phone, so I thought I would take it to a shop and have it done SAFELY.

Hiya unhallowedone, he showed me the phone and it has a white screen with ab few lines of text on it in (if I remember rightly) red and blue font.

I phoned him again today and he said that the website had sent the wrong software and he was still waiting for the right software and that it may be after Christmas before it is fixed. I have tried telling him that it either needs to be fixed by end of trading Saturday or I want a replacement, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. I am going to see him face to face tomorrow morning to see what he says.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Thats the HBOOT screen, you can recover the device from there. You need a T-Mob UK RUU.

Do you know if you were running Gingerbread or Froyo?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
Hiya Andy, it is running 2.2 Froyo. If I can download the software myself I will take it to him lol. He has said that due to his messup the phone now has both T mobile and Virgin software on it which obviously is incompatible and causing the problem and that he needs to reflash the original T mobile software to put it right. He is supposed to be getting it fromn a specific website that apparently is very slow in answering back and sending out downloads.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
The lastest available RUU (ROM Update Utility) for T-Mobile UK is 1.75, which is Froyo.

http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/

It should be bottom of the list.

RUU_Ace_TMO_UK_1.75.110.2_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163304_signed.exe

You may need HTC Sync installed on the PC which will run the RUU. This is purely for drivers & such.

If your software version is higher than x.75.xxx.x it will not work, as you cannot downgrade without a Goldcard.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
OK thanks, I am downloading it now and will take it in tomorrow morning. Hopefully if there are any problems, seeing as he is a supposedly proffesional shop, he will have a goldcard to sort it out.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I doubt they'd have a goldcard, but you never know!

If you get a "Main Version is Newer" type error then your firmware is newer and you will need the goldcard.

To make things quicker & easier, once the RUU has downloaded, run the ~.exe file until you get to the first prompt. Now search your computer for "rom.zip", (It is extracted when you run the RUU~.exe) It may be hidden in you local temp files.

Once found, copy to your desktop & rename "PD98IMG.zip". Pop this on a spare micro-sd, USB flash of if still in the stone ages a CD-ROM :). You need to get this onto the SD card in the phone, don't put it in a folder, just straight on the card.

Next time you phone boots into HBOOT (Power + Vol Down) it will load the PD98IMG.zip automagically and prompt you to flash without using a PC.
