I tried checking what was happening using the v1 kernel on alpha3 with logcat. It seems to be running into an infinite loop, stating that it couldn't init some resources and then started freeing memory.

I needed the phone today so I flashed back to stock and don't have a logfile. Sorry about that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
wish error do you get

Something with audioflinger??
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
I can tell you from using ICS on the xoom and the G2 it's fast! very fast.

Looking forward to a more polished release the other guys had a head start over you but went through the same steps, stick with it as the results are well worth it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
Lemme backup and I'll attach the output of logcat in a few minutes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
I let it run for ~10 minutes. I hope that's enough information. Sorry about the zip, the log is ~2mb in size.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
thanks i am compiling a new version now.

I can test it first now (got a new usb cable)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ubufugu:
Great! I'll be sure to test it asap when you release it.

I will change the instructions
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
Any fix for wifi, camera , bt and landscape ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ff7fan4eva:
First reboot was stuck on doomkernel then second it ran properly with the android is updating, then rebooted let me setup for about a minute, then rebooted, i pulled out the battery but it's still rebooting again and again. plus the landscape orientation is annoying i'll wait for the next version

BTW was any of the baseband stuff necessary from the original instructions?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
not yet

but trust me we are very busy with get it working
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

how did you install it?

it is working fine for me.

Uploading a new build: alpha 3.2
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
hi. i installed it using the instructions in the first page. noticed that when flashing nasty it says its trying to fix wifi. shoul wifi work? also a slight problem with landscape. seems to force landscape some times.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

no wifi dont work for now

but try it again

flash kernel wipe everything flash rom rebooot flash nastyplay reboot

And dont install gapps and try it
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey nick i will send u new kernel with integrated wifi and new touch recovery (ICS)...

i just need to know do u want a VM_SPLIT 2G/3G? and send me the ramdisk u want to use...
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i think that i now whats wrong with reboots will release a new version today or tomorrow
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
when you say flash rom reboot, flash nasty reboot how do i go about doing this? do i not need to run the phone in fastboot mode again to enter recovery?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Reboot recovery

When you have reboots pull battery out (i did this 8 times before it works

I type this with my phone with this rom installed
[Xperia Play Android Development] kingston951:
i dont understand how to install the rom and what to download first.

can anyone explain me what to do ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ff7fan4eva:
I wouldn't install it if I were you, just wait till everything's been fixed and condensed into one or two packages because it's complicated, and the landscape orientation is annoying
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
You can buy the app orientation control.

Then you have portrait
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
changelog ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Changelog coming soon

Notebook crashed and it takes a long time to type it with my phone
[Xperia Play Android Development] romcio47:
Great work on this ICX guys!

Can't wait for next builds ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Why is this so hard? Is it the way Google have programmed ICS, or just the way creating ROMs is in general?

The only programming I've ever done was qbasic about 15 years ago. I was pretty good at getting my head round that but I abandoned it when I left college and no longer had a PC. How different is this to qbasic?

just managed to get this to run for 5 mins at a time so not stable enough for me to use as a daily driver (need my phone for work) but it was enough to give me a taster of whats to come. good work nick

[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Qbasic is an IDE and interpreter for the Basic language. There will be probably a lot of differences:

1) Basic is a general purpose language, Android uses object-oriented applications. Today Microsoft uses Visual Basic, which is a huge evolution from Basic, as the object-oriented language for Windows.

2) Basic is old, and prone to spaghetti code, while Android is based in more modern languages.

3) Android is way more complex, in general. The OS has circa 12 million code lines.

In sum, your BASIC experience won't give you an edge with Android, from what I can see.

Just got some great news from LorD ClockaN, look at this commit: https://github.com/LorDClockaN/platform_bionic/commit/79775e3e479aa659a92f1855e809e7c61b10b211

It enables you to compile with VM_SPLIT_2G (VMSPLIT_2G) so I have asked him kindly if he could compile with VMSPLIT_2G for us :)

This means that if he does it then we can get data working using SEMC RIL :)

ok finally got it booted up and setting up but still needs a loottt of work to be done...
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
It is a alpha build so it isn't for daily use
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
yep. i just wanted to test it and see how does it look ...

and thanks to nickholtus for SE extreme tweaking tool. i could install CWM on my phone and restore to the state where i had left it before flashing ICX. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Shame. I'd love to get my head around Android programming but I don't even know where to start. I've Googled the hell out of where to even begin but no joy. I guess if I don't even know what software to download it isn't for me.

I downloaded something from Google which has an Android emulator but don't even know how to start that up. X(

ii am very lucky if i can get anything to work lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
200 DPI, OnScreen Buttons and I cant get past lockscreen :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
mine keeps on rebooting still -.- Im not quite sure why :')
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
check your logs it'll be libmedia dying
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Well its stoped rebooting, its just frozen on that screen :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yea the audio libs are not loading so libmedia is bombing in a loop
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Is there anyway to stop that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I never even got to boot into the menu. I had repeated loops in the splash logo and the touchscreen never responded. At one point I appeared in the desktop, but the phone got hung there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Audio is a right pain in the arse to fix, camera too, but WiFi should be easy to fix, along with data.

Just thought I would let you know that replacing libs will not work (tried it in my wildfire ICS port), so camera and audio may not work.

For RIL, replacing 2.3 RIL lib should work but you will not get a displayed signal, it will show 0% even though you may be able to call and text.

Also because this is ported from arc S (correct me if I am wrong) that phone uses a different WiFi chip (ti-Wlan) so you are best off porting from the DHD (bcm4329) which has a lot of similar hardware and a lot of working stuff, meaning the DHD port may work out of the box for some stuff.

Until DooMlord posts his sources for ICS Play kernel Wifi is a no-go as you need play WiFi modules compiled with kernel.

If you need any help, I am good at this type of stuff.

Compiling from source might be a good option too, RIL would work and if we set BoardConfig.mk to use legacy touchscreen with CM9 patches we wouldn't need touchscreen kernel fix, and using say DooMKernel for 2.3.4 would work alright.

Hope I helped, keiran.

Don't worry about the name, probably least important, call it ice cream playwidch or something. Bit ego hunting the title as it is.

[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
wouldnt deleting the audio libs stop that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Yes that sounds about right. MIUI was ported from the DesireHD version as it is pretty much the same hardware.

The ICS play kernel sources are available in DooMLorD's github under branch ics i think. Also that sounds about right to have a go compiling from source. Also what RIL libs need copying over?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
no it would likely not boot then lol. ill try it though
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Cant you make dummy audio libs? Just to stop it trying to load them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i am testing alpha 2 now

deleted audio libs and changed dpi to 200

also replaced key files

Hope it will work a lot better now
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
:) Is alpha 2 on the ftp or not?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
no,

first i will look if it boots
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
Ok no problems. Have you put the accelerometer fix in the build.prop?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yea id love to look at a2
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
yes, but dont know if it works
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Don't know the exact files but it will probably be semc_RIL.so in /system/lib/

It was htc_RIL.so in the DHD.

For kernel, if doomlord doesn't start by tomorrow -I am not pushing him too- I will take a look at his touchscreen commits and integrate them into the DF Kernel.

Build.prop changes can also fix data, copy the semc stuff from .42 build.prop into ICS one and see whqt happens.

I am one of those mad people who tries even the stupidest things, but funnily enough most of the time they work.

[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Just saw the updated op. Very interested in this, though I imagine it won't work on R800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
The devs are still working on this :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
A little update:

We have a stable version (no teboots at the moment using it 2 days now)

Only data is buggy for some networks

Orientation works

Wifi bluetooth camera don't work (working on it when we have data fully working)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Good News everyone:

We have a AOSP build

Wifi is working

Data isn't working atm (woking on it so the update is delayed)

maybe landscape fixed

No reboots

Camera and bleutooth isn't working
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
If you have AOSP working, it would be excellent if you could try your luck with CyanogenMod 9 :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Cm9 is working but no data ATM.

We have a lot of ported and aosp builds
[Xperia Play Android Development] AtomicKoala:
It would be a good idea to upload it, wifi > data
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Yeah but no mobile network

Only wifi

First i will include a app to chose portrait or landscape because i cant get sensors working now
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
take sensors out of SE ICS ROM and EGL
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Ok will try it tomorrow
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Beta 1 will be up today!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
beta 1 is up!

This is my last build until SE brings my phone back from the repair center
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
GAPPS link doesn't work ;)

The leaked ROM works much smoother..

What's up with your phone btw?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i know.

but some people want aosp so this is the first AOSP build for the Play ever!

the whole gamepad doesn't work (TOUCHPAD DPAD)

EDIT: gapps link updated
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Nick what works in this ROM?

wifi?

data?

orientation?

and for dpads i will make a flashable zip shortly :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

wifi is working

Orientation not (added a app to chose portrait/landscape)

data is notworking (you can make phone calls)

for orientation i need a new kernel

@Dean if you can help with something you are welcome:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
Can i ask are you continued to support this rom.. And fcs or reboots??
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

i had no fc or reboot in 5 days

i will continue developing when i have my phone back.

Nick
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
So os it just the bluetooth. Camera and landscape onky??
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
and data isn't working (wifi is working)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
Can you fix soon or is it a kernal issue nick
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
no it isn't kernel.

But SE edited the "drivers"for data so it won't work on AOSP

So we need to find a solution for it (waiting for cm9 arc neo or something)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
It isnt a biggy for me to be honest sure il give it a try.. Do you think the the most popular ics rom for the play
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i think that you would wait some days until a dev get it faster.

ant get it in portrait (the app doesn't work for some reason.

Ps. release a new kernel tomorrow.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
Weres the 64 firmware cant find it
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
I shouldn't use it it is only for devs.

If a dev could make it faster i would release a new one.

PS.

I NEED SOME TESTERS, I WOULD MAKE SOME BUILDS AND IF SOME PEOPLE WOULD TEST IT ON STABILITY AND SPEED PLEASE PM ME (you need some experience with flashing roms and flashing kernels) IF YOU WANT TO TEST PM ME
[Xperia Play Android Development] gavin-phelan:
