I've been able to get 3g more often than not, using HiApn. Trouble is, I only get it when pressing switch off radio, then changing from "WDCMA preferred" to "WDCMA only" before it actually turns off. Sometimes the radio turns off too quickly to get it but, if not, I always get 3g (til the radio switches off, obviously).

I thought I'd post this in case anybody knew what was happening when you do that and might point towards a fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mrvirr3:
I had to press "Vol up" to get into recovery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Does the cm9 update help you here nick?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i hope the update will help with wifi:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
ok:-) will try this out?

I tried three ics roms, one by doomlord, other icx and third cm9!

Every rom has some or the other drawback.

But this drawbacks are different.

In doomlord's rom,

data works for me.

But wifi and bluetooth doesn't

also one can use a perfect camera with video recording but it has a green tint on it but it takes good photos.

In cm9 and icx,

everything is same i think.

Wifi and bluetooth works fine

but

data doesn't.

Camera only works with back camera, only for photos, not video and not panorama.

Can any one combine this two features? Then everything will work:-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bluemotion:
Fantastic work guys,

I have no problems whatsoever runs perfect!

Looking forward to the battery drain fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
Now, i'm not a developer, but i dont think that would be possible as i think(Didn't try the leaked one) the 3 each runs on different kernels. (ICX and Leaked at least).
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
yes, that is right.

and the leaked uses all SE files and AOSP not (so we can't combine the files)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I've mixed up the kernels trying to get it fully working and haven't had any problems booting.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
you can combine kernels but not system files.

Btw. shall i add gapps in the rom??
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I've also applied

Doom's update (the v01 to v02 one)over the AOSP one, it still booted. The only problems I had were the ones I had with Doom's ROM anyway.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok,

got wifi working in rc1

need some testing.

what is new in rc1:

Faster!

newer adreno drivers

recompiled from 4.0.3 source

added some mini pro fixes (thanks kamarush)

data for some more networks (look here to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22464715&postcount=561 (app isn't included you need to download it by yourself) (still doesn't work in: The netherlands, Germany, O2UK and maybe some more)(same as in leaked)

And some thing i forget:P

Don't ask for ETA!
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
HiAPN doesn't work for T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange, 3 or 02. All UK.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i am not from UK so can't test it:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I tested :-)

Don't work :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Mine too it doesnt work.. smart carrier PHILIPPINES

LOVING THE ICXPERIA ROM because it runs fast and smooth.. I hope the DATA FIX to All networks will be fix soon..

can i also try the RC1?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
hey nick, i knw that, don't knw, what happened in that doomlords rom.. everything started working.. only one problem, the are some graphics problems and phone hangs now n then.. what to do for this.. ram too is not in use much.. somebody suggest, what to do?? is is not possible to have messaging n contacts apps which are there in aosp, in doomlord's one??

firstly, why my phone is getting hanged...???
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mariol:
Hi guys, i installed the rom and it is awesome, fast, sleek and no SE crap added!

other than the known issues (data, inverted gamepad ...)

i am experiencing a strange error where i cant install anything from the market: is there a workaround?

Thanks, keep up the good work!

EDIT: Resolved, market works after flashing the gamepad+data fix for some reason O_O
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
try to download the gapps.. flash it via cwm.. n do factory reset.. everything will work then.. it worked for me..;-)

haha...:-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] capncark:
installed fine, running well (pretty snappy for a beta). What's not working for me is:

data

bluetooth (greyed out)

front camera

video camera

d-pad is sideways (operates as if in portrait mode even with gamepad slid out) and crashes nova when navigating with d-pad

force close on some apps ie weatherbug, rockplayer

Email widget not working (gives error- app not installed)

I didnot install any add-ons besides the gapps as I believe it said all others were included in rom but I will try to flash data and gamepad fixes and see what happens.

So far a great build and almost a daily driver however the bt and d-pad issues are big issues for me so I will wait for some patches or a newer build.:)

UPDATE: Installed data+gamepad add-on and now gamepad works properly. BT now works but won't connect to audio. Phone shows 3g connection in about phone menu but will not connect to internet. Also shows no sim on boot and signal meter shows zero bars but

I am able to make calls but cannot send text. gets stuck on sending... also cannot access any info from sim (contacts, my phone number). it looks like the apn's for my network are loaded but am not sure if the info is correct. does anyone know if apn has to be set manually?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zykopath:
Thank you! That actually worked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ze0:
Sorry wrong post
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
Ok,

it is wip for now but: we have sony's beta rom working on the play

see post 2 for more details

EDIT: Wifi is almost fixed!

Coming soon!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] capncark:
I have wpa2 and can surf the web through wifi but can't access lan shares.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
On the AOSP rom?

i can't fix that now (my hdd is crashed)

atarri isn working on the Sony Beta rom now
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I hate to ask this so don't kill me :D

How is the gamepad and touchpads in the beta? I know its not a play original just curious.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
game and touchpads are working as in cm7
[Xperia Play Android Development] torgamer:
i can't play MP4 720P it very lag :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
Please upload... i cant wait to try it..
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
we need to fix graphics issues first (if you open an app like setting and you click on wifi the screen is weird and pull the statusbar down fix this)

so it isn't good enough for now

we are fixing stuff now:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] sechko:
And what about the battery consumаtion ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
battery is good for me.

i am using it for 30 hours on battery now (started at 100%) and now i am on 23%

with 3g on gps off
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Why would you want to play a 720p movie on a phone with less than half the required resolution to display it correctly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
How is 480 less than half of 720?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Take the height into account. Videos shot with 720 of width tend to be 1280p high. How much is 1280*720 in comparison with 854*480?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
It's still not less than half but whatever
[Xperia Play Android Development] vemoxy:
Lol, it is less than half. You can try converting your videos :)

Anyway, looking forward to the Sony's beta. Good job ICX! Can't wait!
[Xperia Play Android Development] torgamer:
I lazy to convert from 1280*720 to 854*480 and 720P I feel good :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
(854*480)/(1280*720)=0.44...

It is less than half indeed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xtnsion:
i've flashed this rom and kernel 3 times now and doesn't go after the boot animation, i was on stock rom, what's wrong and I have unlocked BL.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Did You flash the right kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] xtnsion:
i've flashed the ICX kernel from the first page .... before that my phone was rooted and had one of doom kernels.

edit:

flashed stock firmware again, flashed kernel and rom and still doesn't boot
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
I cant get this to work either:

R800i, Unlocked bootloader, .62 official stock firmware.

Flash ICX Kernel from first post.

Reboot.

Spam backbutton.

nothing but a black screen with a faint glow hinting that the device is still on,

but no sign of recovery mode.

Flashed back to .62 four times and re-attempted with the same issue every time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
back button need to be volume down:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
That did it, crisis averted, thanks nick :)

Has anyone else noticed "mounts and storage" in recovery causes a reboot?

Edit... just noticed actually opening most apps, messaging, camera, phone, wallpaper, nova settings etc.. causes a reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MattyGlen:
Just a quick message to thank you all for your hard work.

I've been using this Rom for the past week now and haven't yet found an issue with it other then not having access to the internet outside my WiFi area. Other then that, It's been running like a dream.

Running on (R800i)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mariol:
Yup, its the same for me; once we get 3G data working this is gonna be my daily driver...

Then we can move to get better gpu performance and battery life, but for a beta this is running like a champ! thanks to all involved
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
How bad are the graphics issues? I don't use WiFi and Bluetooth so wouldn't mind installing this as it is if they aren't too bad.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
The graphic bugs are gone after turning off all of the animations :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok so i am back...

tell me whats the current status? whts working, whts not?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Welcome back DooMLoRD :)

Current status is:

Working

GSM

Data

Camera

Orientation

Not working

Wifi

Graphical glitches (I believe last window transition animation gets stuck, can be ignored by turning off Window animations and transitions)

Bluetooth
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
When I tried flashing it, it got stuck and all I could see was the statusbar...

So went back to stock.

We should get ICS within 3 month :)

Not sure, I got what nick gave me.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ PLAY
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Yes you can see everything; I think if you had swiped the statusbar the window should have drawn correctly. It seems that the windows animations are not completing, causing the screen to not show the final image.

Disabling animations and windows transitions gives a temporary fix until a proper fix. Copying over libs from leaked ROM is the current plan
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Hmm weird, that should work..

Btw, I made a AOSP theme for this beta :)

I will wait till you release to the public :)

IMPORTANT NEWS:

It is very hard to say but because of school i am going to spend less time on developing for the play.

I will developing in the weekends (That means: i will work on updates in the weekend)

If you really need me send a pm or maybe i will look in this thread:P

Maybe one of the ICX devs can take my work over? (working on the AOSP and the beta)

I will going on with developing if the school results are better:)

Rule number 1: School goes first:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Is there a download link? I can live with the issues stated and I can test.

Looks like its about time to retire FXP043a (finally have a reason to switch)
[Xperia Play Android Development] insanecon:
Any chance getting data to work on this now that it works on the other rom?

Love the look and feel of stock ics on this.. Just need data! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
You could also use the new Sony beta ROM with the AOSP theme. That would give you the look you want, with working data
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
ok i am going to work on rc1 again

some things i am adding:

SEMC framework (for DATA!!!) thanks kamarush:)

touchpad fix

rom would be faster / more stable

DATA

and maybe more:P
[Xperia Play Android Development] radjan:
Can't wait. As soon as you need testers, just let us know!
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Please let me know how you are going about fixing data so I can implement it into miuiv4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
it is the framework that causes the data errors.

i don't think you can use it for miui
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Could I not add the values from semc to the MIUI framework? I think that's our best bet so far.. If that don't work we gonna have to wait for cm9 to get a data fix..
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
that would fix data i think:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
I think it would, I'm going to decompile the MIUI framework now and see what we are looking at :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
good luck:)

i wish i could help but i am busy with making 4.0.3 fully working on my VERY OLD hero:P and i am not so very good in framework editing:P

tomorrow i am going to work further on the play
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
No worries, good luck with your fossil phone :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] simpson1991:
great rom :) faster as i thought ^^

but i cant enter the recovery :/

i press the back button as fast as i can when my phone begins to start.

can someone help me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Try the volume down button instead.
[Xperia Play Android Development] simpson1991:
thx that works great :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
rc1 is almost done:)

data is fully working

rom is faster / more stable (using newer kernel)

added battery saver tweaks

added some data tweaks

Also fixed some fc's

i am still fixing some bugs and will release the rom soon!
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
rc1 has working video playback right? Becouse thats the most anoyning bug in cm9 for me.

By the way nick, do you now what happend with XperiaPlayer and DJ_Steve? I didi not heare anything of them for a while.. They are both nice devs i think.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Nick I believe you have spoken to Kamarush?

As soon as he releases his rom (hopefully today) we should be able to fix data on every rom as he has merged the semcril from the sony beta :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i don'tknow what happened to xperiplayer and DJ_Steve.

yes i talked to kamarush:) i can use some of his fixes:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok, fixing last things now:)

wifi/data is working now

only need to fix bluetooth (i think a few minutes:P)

then i need to test the rom and then i am going to release it

So give me a few days to test/fix things:)

i will include the new drivers:)

Maybe it works then:)

Nick ? Can you explain why i found a "rc4.zip" file ? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
I will try to fix bluetooth now.

That's the last thing that i am going to do for now.

I am too busy with school to work on this project.

Maybe Atarii can work on this (or if there is a important fix i will update this)

stupid fixes dont

i dont even get root!!! i really dont c da point in this as a everyday use driver but da rom does look sick still

Data should work with next update.

It has already been said that fixes MAY not work

Fewest ROM's "gives" you root if that is what you mean.

Well FXP are working on Cyanogenmod 9 and they will probably get it working before sony does :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
build a new version now with new audio files
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
do we still need to use the dalvik hack ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
We can used hacked Adreno drivers (which do nothing but don't cause reboots) but apart from that we cant do much about the GPU, meaning it won't be used.

Sony are probably watching this topic, and are downloading our fixes xD.

Compiling ourselves would be the best option, but I have only worked with compiling CM7 (trying to fix touchpads) and AOSP is a bit different, doesn't have the right vendor tree for play and won't let us use proprietary stuff anymore, must compile everytginf from source.

Tried it as well, the DPI doesn't work very well few messed up like windows and the dockbar (looks a bit better though try increasing it to like 220). Seems to be a bit more stable still freezes but after a longer duration. KeiranFW how would we get Hacked adreno drivers to work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Just a little detail: the Desire HD people have their ICS working nicely and fluidly. Probably they could help with the Adreno drivers.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
yes dalvik hack need to be used.

because recovery cant do that (maybe with an other kernel wich DooMLoRD making with build in recovery it is not nedded)

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No, but it should shorten the Adreno crap in the logcat.

Sorry Quallcom, but if I have to read through One thousand lines of Adreno not initialized crap repeated, how am I meant to find other problems. I'm sure we realised there was a problem the first time the driver reported it.

Tegra 2 uses different CPU to us.

We use Quallcom SoC MSM7X30 with Adreno 205 GPU. Wikipedia wrongly says we have an MSM8X55, which happens to be dual core.

8x55 is also the start of our radio name.
