Update #1

Fixes:

Data works correctly

Fake Signal Indicators ( Shows you have full signal and WiFi to fix a temporary glitch - This does not affect wifi, data, signal in any way! )

Nova Launcher

Performance Updates

Battery Improvements - Aprox 4% drain when on sleep ( with WiFi constantly turned on )

GamePad fixes ( Not TouchPad )

AOSP Framework

Link: http://dev-host.org/yphpglye0k2u/update.zip

Once flashed please apply the following hotfix:

keyboard-hotfix.zip - 266 KB

Please make sure you flash the Superuser Fix which has been added on the 1st page of this thread - Thanks to fma965 for noticing this :)

This update will clear all data and cache so if you need to backup anything use TitaniumBackup.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Sweet downloading

EDIT you didn't include the fixed superuser

Edit. After flashing superuser back all is working nice idea with fake icons. Seems faster will test more soon. Need to go sleep now as gotta be up for college in 2hours lol. Wonder if my alarm will work ;-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Hmmm this should of been included as it is in my ROM :P.

Never mind will edit my post now.

I came up with the fake icons idea because the simple grey was just ruining the ICS feel as I love the default blues :D

I made tweaks to various files to improve the speed. I can also confirm Alarm works :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
This update.zip is a replacement for the file doomlord posted right?

Will try it in college later today :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Yes this is the DooM ROM but with many fixes :)

I just found a bug with my latest upload. I will be uploading a second fix right now!

This is only for the people who are having problems with the keyboard
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
com.android.phone keeps crashing. Same with keyboard.. I'm on Vodafone NL
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
Nice, right fast download speed from that server. Will be flashing shortly :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
- no longer needed - :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
Oh, whoops. Thanks for the heads up, I'll flash back. Unless the upload is soon here?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
I have now provided the update along with a hotfix which is required for the keyboard to fully work :) sorry for the problems

hotfix.zip - 266 KB ( flash this after you flashed rom! )
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
No worries, downloading the new update.zip now :)

Weird, can't get it to boot. After the usual install procedure, it shows sony ericsson boot animation instead of ics boot animation, then it reboots
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mael5trom:
first impressions on update.

superuser does indeed fail without patch.

wifi seems to work correctly now, including scan.

phone seems more responsive, nova launcher has helped alot, trebuchet occasionally slows down significantly. have had nova launcher die a couple of times, but still not as bad as trebuchet.

damn good update.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
make sure you have the kernel provided in Post 1 and clear data and cache.

Notice; This ROM only works on GSM

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

Ye I forgot to include the latest super user fix, that will be on the next update.

WiFi is still having abit of issues. The only way to connect to the WiFi is manually for some reason however I may be able to fix this with a few edits from the WiFi libs.

Nova Launcher is really fast compared to the Stock CM9 launcher so therefore Nova will be the base launcher now for this ROM.

NOTICE: If people are having lag issues where the ROM becomes really slow download the application: Fast Restart Widget which is available in the marketplace. This restarts all current services and gets rid of the lag. This seems to be something to do with memory leaks. Will take a look into this soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
Got the kernel, redownloaded it just in case i mislabeled it somewhere down the line, cleared cache (no option to clear data in recovery), tried without flashing superuser, all fresh installs of course, all done the same way the previous one worked just fine...next step is to redownload it I suppose. That'll be for tomorrow though.

My phone is gsm
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Hmmm im not quite sure what the problem is then since its working on others including mine.

If possible post a logcat and I can see where and why its rebooting :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mael5trom:
after some testing can confirm my wifi will connect after selecting it from a scan.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
thankyou very much for noting this out :D one less problem :)

- edit

just did testing of WiFi and it seems that it can only connect to the WiFi without manually adding it if it is not password secured ( this is great because now we know which is causing the problems with the WiFi ;) ).
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Speedyink: I had the same problem I just flashed stock .62 again and formatted the sd card
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Been trying to work on the Lockscreen today and I have run into a problem maybe someone else can do this. I can't recompile the framework-res.apk where the Lockscreen is actually based.

If someone decompiles that apk and finds the landscape lockscreen xml which is in Layout folder then copy and paste the values of that into the portrait lockscreen xml and then change the orientation value to vertical.

Files to look for;

framework-res.apk/layout/keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml

framework-res.apk/layout/keyguard_screen_unlock_landscape.xml

It seems to me SE didnt get round to doing the landscape lock just yet :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
doesnt boot here hanging in bootloop:mad:

Edit: it boots need to flash dooms build frst:P

data is'nt working and a lot of phone fc
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
have you edited or replaced anything?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
WIFI hotspot doesn't work both official and various apps

Some games crash are games suppose to be working?

Lag spikes

Will edit post if find more
[Xperia Play Android Development] diohellfire:
tested and approved

has some bugs like:

Camera does not work (already mentioned)

says this without the sim card

Brightness control does not work

wifi sometimes falls

but who want to test the ICS can use safely
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
no i just flashed dooms build and then your build
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
is auto brightness working for you? it was for me but doesnt seem to be now. i think i toggled the setting a few times then rebooted and it worked but not no more.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mael5trom:
ok so i think i found a temporary fix for the wifi...it seems that if u add an entry(even a dummy one) into the saved wifi list then scanning works properly.

as soon as i add one it stops saying turning wifi on when i go to do anything.

i stumbled into this by restoring wifi data in tb, it took me a while to pinpoint it, but it seems that that is the reason my wifi scanning was working earlier, and i mean on wpa2, not just open networks.

edit. in addition, after reformatting, every time i use the superuser zip file to install superuser it looks like all goes fine but superuser is not in my app draw.

this only happens on the new update, im not sure how the hell i managed it... it seems like it might be a storage space issue, i only have 36k space left on system, i tried deleting some system apps before the update, and when i update the apps i deleted arnt there, but i still have 36k free space....its doing my head in as too why.

it all went so well before :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@DeanBoro

since 90%+ files will be same as the base ROM can u kindly post just incremental update.zips?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
Amazing just tested it and it was awesome.

The way the touch pad acts like a cursor is brilliant. The only problem is that up is down and down is up on the touch pad I hope this is fixed soon.

Root was working fine

But I had Insert Sim sign at boot. (on 3UK)

Other than that everything is super smooth and I cant wait for the official release with everything working:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
thanks doom gives us choice

ps) if anyone here (dev's) want there work displayed in more places and for people that dont use xda send us what ever you want to put up on our site www.xperiagamer.com wont change anywords if worried about this you can even write the articles your self's.

xperia play just gets better and better
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
OK, I didn't try formatting the card ..thanks ill try that later tonight
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
Is there any way to fix the insert Sim error?:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
flash the data + gamepad fix from the first few posts
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
DooM i put it all in 1 because people were complaining saying so and so wasn't working so I uploaded my exact build so nothing could go wrong :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Maybe he has got the same problems as Nick and me :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
We need to try some libs from alpha 3.2 in my thread that have working data for all sims (works fine here)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
the way i got data working was by using semc ril libs.

anyhow ive gone back to stock ROM for the next week as I am going to be out of town on business so when I get back I will continue with development.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Ok,

There must be a file we are missing. Because it works well on the alpha arc port.

I will try it when I have time (and Wednesday my Xperia is at Se for a swap so then I will take a brake)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
try and find out all files located with the RIL. i only did 3 which were obvious :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Ok will try that and also try the apns-config.xml
[Xperia Play Android Development] ParanormalBat:
So what in whole does not work on this ROM after all the fixes have been applied (Doomlord's all in one)? Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] mauaus:
Camera and touchpads if im not mistaken
[Xperia Play Android Development] brilldoctor:
This is much nicer than the sensation roms
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
I have a few errors

When I click on contacts it says "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped".

It recognized my sim card after flashing the data.zip addon but I cannot get any reception and when I try to make a call it says "switch off Airplane mode to make a call"(which is off)

Im on 3uk :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Try enabling/disabling aeroplane mode. I had this but not sure if it works on 3
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
Nope its probably just 3uk which wont work.

Anyway Im returning to my previous Rom now. :D

Can't wait for the official Release.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
I have 2 play devices

1 on Three UK ( Working perfectly )

1 on GiffGaff UK ( Working perfectly )

so this could all revolve around the location of your devices im not to sure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Speed the rom up..

Hey guys,

I used root explorer to find the apk for 'play on device' which was constantly running in the background.

It is called SEMCDLNA.apk

Once I deleted that apk the rom has sped up x4 and seems much more stable for me..

You cannot remove it with titanium backup as it says it cannot find the apk so you have to use root explorer.

Try it out maybe?

It has worked wonders for me, now all I need is working camera and this ROM is perfect :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
btw its in /system/vendor/app/ folder
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
I'm having slight issues with mobile signal, it seems that if I reboot my phone I'll have no signal and I can't seem to fix it (toggling aeroplane mode has no effect). It's not until I reboot again that it will just work fine.

So, anyone having signal issues, try a reboot and see if that works (it seems to be every other reboot for me).

I'll check logcat later and see if there is anything obvious.

Loving this ROM though, I've removed a lot of the constant running services I don't need and replaced some of the SE branded apps (Messaging, Music, Phone/Contacts) with the Google ICS ones. The speed now is great :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] johnnyw1991:
ok so i want to try this out but im on .56 baseband which it doesnt work with right? im quite new to the play and not flashed baseband before and not sure how to do it and dont want to brick my phone, could someone please either tell me or point me towards a guide how to do it

edit: i have the .62.ftf in the firmware folder for flashtool, but where from there? click flash then flashmode or fastboot mode?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Flashmode: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19684949#post19684949
[Xperia Play Android Development] johnnyw1991:
thanks mate worked it out myself just before you posted, just booting up rom now :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rivalo:
I got baseband version: 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-22

So it's not possible on my phone right? I'm not so experienced with ROM's. Had an HTC Tattoo and was easy to install ROM's on it. I need to probably unlock my device first? Already found the thread, btw.

Do I need a kernel first, or just unlock my device and use flashtool to flash roms?
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Read the instructions for the ROM at the first post, you need to install .62 firmware this will give you the 64 baseband and you go from there..

Guys please don't fill this thread up with questions about getting the right baseband or how to flash roms etc.. the instructions are there to be followed..

Please use the search function and leave this thread for issues with the ICS rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rivalo:
Ok, I'm sorry.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Hey Atarii,

How do you go about replacing the SE apps with the stock ICS ones?

Everytime I try with root explorer I get bootloops and force closes :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
I did it via adb. Just copied the Messaging and Music apks to /system/app/ and changed permissions to 644. I had to cheat for phone/contacts and just replaced the phone and contacts icons in the SE phonebook.apk
[Xperia Play Android Development] WaggatouchHD:
Can not get this to root at all. Ive tried everything including the super user fix.zip What can i do i need 2 use titanium backup 2 restore my old apps?

Plz help. Many thanks

Wagga
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
So from what I understand, the only thing not working now is the camera?
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
And Touchpads. And for some peaple data.

HEy IE-Core. Didn#t you have FC´s fore android.phone ?? ^^ We are in same country an same provider - BASE

[Xperia Play Android Development] notmybbq:
Stuck on Sony ericsson screen

Hello and thanks for any help in advance.

I followed the instructions in this thread, but upon reboot my phone sticks at the Sony Ericsson screen and will not load any further. Any advice or pointer to where to go?

I apologize if this is posted somewhere else, but power is out at my office at the moment and posting this from my other phone, so browsing isn't very easy.

Thank you again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Flash back to stock with flashtool and format the sd card

Works here!

Nick
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
so ROM finally works on ur PLAY?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
No, i dont have my phone back

Did you hear something from achotjan?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope... not yet...
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Hey guys youtube crashes the phone and makes it restart, so does trying to freeze apps using titanium backup.. Anyway to fix this?

I wouldn't mind testing things for you lot if you have anything to try out, I have good experience flashing kernels & roms?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blizzrar:
I have Install this ICS rom on my german phone and it works with provider base. Gapps, data, wirelesslan, apn works with these two patches. My emus (fpse, snes, n64, dosbox works fine. I gave a recall later because I look some things.

Blizzrar
[Xperia Play Android Development] WaggatouchHD:
I just use the YouTube mobile site. Make sure to turn off the HQ mode. This work around doesn't seem to work using the YouTube app. Seems to just keep reverting back to HQ video setting
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
So I tried installing this, it all worked fine. But the video player doesn't work, so it's not of much use to me yet. It just made it restart a lot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Asdoos:
Ja also android.phone verreckt halt immer und hängt sich auf... ohne SIM funkt alles

without any simcard its a wonderful ROM - but mobilephone without SMS/phone is no mobile Phone -.-
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Lets hope a later build is leaked without these issues, Even though these issues are being worked on by community developers. Fingers crossed that someone comes up with a solution to come peoples problems with this ROM, I have had a few problems, nothing major though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I want to try this. Is the first couple of posts (and downloads) updated, or do I need to apply all the patches?

The reason I ask is because I have to download everything with my phone then copy it to my PC. I know how to flash ROMs and kernels etc, I just wondered exactly what I need to do.

Also, I'm on the 3 UK network, is the fact it won't work with 3 a network thing, or more a phone that was originally locked to 3? Or both?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
It does work on 3 UK that is my main carrier.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
I hope the camera works soon !!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
Also works on Orange UK. works surprisingly well. Noticed that when i turn wifi on it just keeps saying its turning on and wont scan for wireless networks but if i manually enter the ssid/password etc and connect that way it works. Once im connected then all local wireless are found :s
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
The wifi issue is a known issue; DooMLoRD, could you add that to the known issues list on the first page, as it's mentioned a lot now?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I've tried both versions, both with and without fixes. Almost nothing works. Can't open messaging, home button doesn't work, contacts won't open, selecting APN stops settings, music player won't open, no data/signal, trying to open a photo stops gallery, calendar won't open...
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Would this work?

If somebody who is on the 3 UK network who has got this working; if they were to do a fresh install, get the network settings, then do a nandroid backup and upload that. Could that be restored on somebody else's phone?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
is this theme could be works on xperia neo?!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
I hope you guys don't mind me asking but what makes the slide to clear notifications work? Honestly all I want is that...
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Did you go back to stock or stock-based kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Also, did you clear caches when restoring your backup?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ff7fan4eva:
maybe because you didn't revert to stock kernel. And your using the ics specific one. Reinstall your firmware with flashtool. Then install firmware specific kernal to get to recovery. Then wipe/restore
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
I think this theme may only be for the new ICS Firmware(4.0.0 or above). So I think it depends on that. Plus if the Neo has a different screen resolution you would have to resize the images. Correct me if im wrong.

Battlefield....b*tch.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
okay back from business trip so now I will be working on the ROM again have some slight little updates to post such as increased performance in 3D games.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
The data fix breaks more than it fixes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Update Coming Soon ;)

- TouchPads FIXED!
[Xperia Play Android Development] s1l3nt:
that will be good enough for me to start trying this rom out :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
TouchPad FIX - http://www.freefilehosting.net/touchpad-hotfix (FLASH via CWM)

This may not work on EA games!
[Xperia Play Android Development] s1l3nt:
im trying to download the update 1 zip and keyboard fix you posted a few pages ago but it wont load when i click download
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Dev-Host is down atm so download the official one on the 1st page along with the fix provided above and the data + super user fix

flash in this order;

1 - Flash ICS ROM

2 - Flash Data Fix

3 - Flash SuperUser

4 - Flash TouchPads
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Tempted to retest this rom now
[Xperia Play Android Development] s1l3nt:
nevermind its downloading now do i need to flash the official one in the op first then update 1?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
many people are reporting problems with my update 1 so start from scratch :)

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

ONly a few more things left to do and we have a near perfect ROM :d
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Will any other baseband be usable with this rom? 64 baseband is horrible for me service in and out non stop. So far 56 baseband from .42 800A is by far best service for me. Please say yes PLEASE!!!

Anyone try touchpads yet? I would but I gotta sleep work in few short hours.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks!

Loved the rom.. tried both cm9 and this one yesterday... faced some lagging issues while scrolling through the apps and widget menu..and awaiting the camera fix.!
[Xperia Play Android Development] WaggatouchHD:
Any joy with the 3d games fix yet Deano?.........The only thing im really missing. Angry birds Dragon fly and the likes of just some graphical glithes but no lags. Would really love to get it ironed out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
That is actually what I am currently working on at this moment in time :D

Ive managed to increase the peformance of 3D gaming but I still have the problem off some not working and making the phone to restart.

But ill keep trying ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Just tried the touchpad fix with Age of Zombies and it seems that only one touchpad would work at a time, so either move or shoot (it would randomly swap between which one would work).

Also, FIFA 12 restarted the phone.

I've started to get graphical glitches too (horizontal white lines), but not sure if that's because of some files I've changed.

Anyway, good progress guys :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Thats something to do with multitouch modules ill look into that.

Also the graphical line is due to EGL problems, restarting the game commonly fixes it.
