you got another SD to try? maybe reformat again (possibly didnt format properly or something)

strange
[Xperia Play Android Development] tekken179:
have two sd cards both fresh format , re-installed again now it's booting up... so here we go lol.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

**** this i'm giving up apps still missing and the messaging app/ contacts not working, tried the patches for super user still won't give root clearly there is something going wrong on my part can't understand what but i'm just going to go back to stock.. lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
Before you did anything, did you completely revert your phone to the latest stock SE image? From what I understand, you're supposed to do that through flashtool and THEN do the kernel / recovery / image / hotfixes part...
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes flash to latest .62 FW then follow the instructions in the 1st post
[Xperia Play Android Development] tekken179:
yes here is literally my steps.

flash stock .62 firmware

boot it up and set it up

power off, fastboot ICS kernel

boot into Doom's recovery

install the ICS rom

reboot

and then those apps just don't work/appear and the hotfixes won't work for me.

also when flashing the data hotfix it messed up more than it fixed, like the entire android system started to force close.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

tried this with two different fresh SD cards same error's both times, tried again one final time and now it's hanging after DooMKerneL image disappears, clearly followed the steps nothing else, i swear if you knew me in real life you would laugh at how unlucky i am when it comes to the unexplainable in technology failing for me or refusing to comply with me in general :L

ok after the kernel hanging i reflashed the rom one last time same usual errors for me, i noticed throughout the thread lots of people seem to be having same trouble =\ glad but not glad that i'm not the only one. Back to stock now until that problem get's resolved :L
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
Weird...

- Did you ensure that you kept the developer options on after you flashed stock? Ie: Did you flash stock and then go into settings and enable debug?

- Are you using the USB cable that came with the Xperia Play? First time I ever tried to flash my Nexus One, I spent two days flashing bad images over, and it turned out that I was using a Micro USB cable that for some reason wasn't compatible

- If yes to both of those, could it possibly be a hardware issue? Is the Doomload kernel overclocked at all, and could this be causing hangs if your Xperia Play CPU is being pushed too hard?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tekken179:
Yes and Yes two stock cables checked both, 2 sd cards tried both,

fresh install several times same errors.

Never overclocked in my life don't intend to :L

i've given up now flashing back to stock and just think i'm going to wait a while.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
this kernel is not overclocked
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
I have to wonder, is the video being worked on? Even when I tried to video something through the gallery, it just restarted the phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
Is it a feature of ICS that whenever an app is installed, a shortcut appears on the home screen, or is that exclusive to this rom / launcher?

Also, does anyone know of any way to force move apps to sd in the same way we could in gingerbread?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Update Pack v01 to v02 released!

Update Pack v01 to v02 released!

[ screenshot ]

[ changelog ]

added fixes:

SuperUser fix (thanks to ubufugu for the tip for using the zip from this thread)

DATA + Gamepad fix (thanks to DeanBoro for the fixed files)

TouchPad fix (thanks to DeanBoro)

Brightness FIX + improved GFX performace (thanks to DeanBoro)

added apps:

NovaLauncher - additional free launcher for CM9/ICS

OI FileManager - from CM7 (a free file explorer)

DSP Manager - from CM9

CyanogenMod9 Music

new SEMC/ICS apps: Music, Gallery

added fix to allow user to select/add Widget when using stock SE Home launcher

[ NOTE ]

i have noticed that sometimes the Superuser app doesnt work even if it is a fresh flash (ROM v01 then update pack v01 to v02)... in that case just reflash the Superuser fix via recovery...

some users are getting FCs on many apps - this happens for providers who have only WCDMA networks and dont have 2G (EDGE/GPRS)... currently there is no workaround/fix for this...

doing a CLEAN install is highly recommended

[ how to install ]

make sure that you are on official firmware .62

download the ROMs (v01) & update pack (v01 to v02) update.zip and save it to SDCARD

download my latest kernel

flash my kernel using:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then reboot from fastboot using:

fastboot reboot

device will now start booting and show my kernel logo

when the blue LED lights up keep spamming/pressing BACK button

u will now enter my modded recovery

flash the ROM's v01 update.zip (this will take some time a minute or two)

flash the ROM's update pack v01 to v02 update.zip (this will take some time a minute or two)

thats it now reboot device and it will start booting into ICS :)

first boot will take time!!!

if you face Superuser issue (apps not getting root permissions) then reboot into recovery and flash the Superuser fix...

enjoy!

download links at first post!

enjoy!
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

nice update! but can you make a oc kernel?

ps. the titel of the thread says kernel v2 but it need to be rom v2
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
DooM, force closes are related to kernel, I don't get them when using FXP ICS kernel, but data doesn't work either way.

Sticking with MIUI for now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hehe thanks ;)

changing title now...

FC might be related to kernel... but i think it mostly related to the libraries/ROM framework..

but i dont have time right now to make/test our custom ICS kernel...
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Is data fixed for all carriers? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Unfortunately not...

I don't think we will see a fix, but I don't mind. Patience is the key :D

Sent from my R800i using MIUI
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Hmm too bad :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Will doing something with the wcdma only or wcdma preferred option fix anything? Or does the data problem run deeper than that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Trying to change the APN settings closed settings. Is that a symptom of the problem, or maybe a clue towards a fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I can try this with a T-Mobile SIM (UK), does that network work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
sweet. 1 thing isn't it deanboro not deanbro?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry my bad :p

done corrected all references...

sorry Dean ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
i was thinking that maybe you wrote DeanBro on purpose sorta like a play on words but i then decided it was a typo so thought i would mention it. :D.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ruk_90:
I've installed it, but now is like 5 minutes that is booting with the doomkernel image... is normal? I know that the firs boot of a rom is slower but 5 minutes end is on the kernel image O.o
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Make sure you have cleared cache, dalvik cache, and done factory reset..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ruk_90:
i've done for the second time all the wipe and format and reinstalled the rom and now is booting normally :) android world is strange xD ahah

ok it's "work": can't make calls, keyboard and phone FC... it says that there is no sim and i've to reboot
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
The ROM is very Buggy for me to, I had android phone force closes, random screen freezes and reboots...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ruk_90:
the rom works, but the phone can't recognize the sim card so i will reinstall the stock rom... without calling isn't a phone xD
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Guys its a leaked ROM... We should be happy that atleast we get a taste of ICS before SE releases it...

Also the FC issues are faced by some users not all... And that too specifically those providers who don't have GPRS/EDGE services...
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Exactly guys its a taste of what's coming, not happy then install miui rom, its better anyway.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thisisgil:
Touchpads don't work with miui rom....
[Xperia Play Android Development] speedyink:
or bluetooth..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ruk_90:
I know it's a leaked but the majority of the people here says that the 3g and wifi works without problem! I've tried with my H3G sim (only 3g) but even with a wind sim (that is gprs/edge) and the sim dosen't work!

And there is no way to make the keyboard to work xD :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Only problem for me is the Wifi doesnt want to work. Other then that its brilliant.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Did you try manually adding a wifi access point, before searching?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Just made my night. It worked! I hope it wasn't listed somewhere easy if so double thanks. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Trying it out, I like ice cream sandwich and I'm surprised there not more people trying it. But, adobe flash seems not to work. Is it a ice cream issue or something else?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I've seen tales of horror about Flash on ICS. Given that Archive had killed Flash on Mobile and it's only giving support to critical issues, I wouldn't count on improvements.

Food for thought: millions of people used Flash in their phones and tablets for rendering Megavideo movies. Is it coincidental that Flash on mobile and Megaupload itself have been killed in a time window of two months?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Thanks for the heads up, at this stage I still am using this ROM as its brilliant to see IceCream on Xperia Play.

Food for thought indeed that HTML 5 video can not come quick enough.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
what!

If ICS won't have flash I'm going to stick with the current build. I use flash for everything.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
it will have. Galaxy nexus has already.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
According to Adobe, 4.0.3 (ICS first development target) is the last version they will support.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Cheers for heads up
[Xperia Play Android Development] wissamidrissi:
Corrupt Update pack

Guys I think that the Update pack 2 have some corrupted files, I was able to call but after applying the fix I get FC on android.keybad and android.phone now I am trying to update the fixes individually, does the update pack have something more then the fixes that I am going to install individually?

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------

ok guys still didn't work, I don't think it's about the DATA fix, because I reverted those files and still I get FC on phone and keypad.

I on the right baseband, I flashed it again and excluded everything else.

I flashed the whole FTF and then this, the UPDATE kill the calling that's all I want but still the update fixes other things I want too.

please look in this matter, I am on unbranded R800i, and my carrier is 2G or GSM but it's old technology and not 3G at all. and my internet is GPRS but I don't use it anyway cuz I have wireless all the time.

it might be related to the sim card because there is another guy on this tread with the same problem.

Hope you help me cuz I really wanna this, can't wait for the camera, I wish I was a DEV but I am glad I can flash it haha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JayGB2011:
Where is the other thread... The new one made by doom regarding their latest ics build?

soz to tread highjack ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
i have this problem too, also my SIM is not recognised.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok so we have a working camera thanks to jerpelea (FXP)...

taking Photos & Videos works on both front & back cameras..

small bug:

the preview has a GREEN TINT...

anyone interested in a FIX update.zip?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
hell yeah doom. looks like its come on in leaps and bounds since i tried it when it first came out so gonna give this a go. am i ok to flash the first 2 zips then add the camera update when it comes?

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Camera fix

[ info ]

ok so here is the Camera FIX (thanks to jerpelea)

[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yups

flash kernel

get into recovery

flash main rom

flash update pack (v01 to v02)

if u still have superuser issues flash the superuser fix
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
nice one :D camera preview reminds me of an old amstrad 464. as you suggested, had to re-flash superuser zip again but other than that, so far so good. now to start exploring and playing :D cheers doom

edit: the "ok" and "cancel" buttons have swapped positions so i keep cancelling stuff lol

edit 2: does this mean we can now use the face recognition unlock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
could it work for CM9???
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
It was out for cm9 already.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
yea but I've flashed the newest rom which is FX106 but it seems doesn't work. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] =Dynamic=:
Hi, if i install this rom and all fix, works all ?

Thanks !
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
There are still bug like blurry grafic issues, force closes and gsm data. Also it is not really stable. I think CM9 works a bit better.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
i must admit i preferred cm9 slightly but i couldnt get data to work whereas data works on this

tom

edit: doom, would you think that the data fix for this rom could be applied to cm9?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
can I have a v2 mirror because stupid hotfile makes you wait 30 mins!
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
And don't you love there max download limit for the hour. Brilliant.

But at least it's reliable. And not been taken out like megaupload
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
yeah.

Why doesn't everyone just use mediafire? no waiting or restrictions, just ads. you can even do parallel downloads..

They haven't been taken out yet.

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
the fix that uses data on this ROM would not work on CM9 as it relies on SE Libs were as CM9 does not :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I can confirm that data does not work on any of the following networks:

O2 - UK (and all variants maybe, eg. giffgaff) (WCDMA/GSM but neither work)

H3G - Three UK (WCDMA ONLY)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mauaus:
assuming data works for me, I'd this stable enough to be a daily driver?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
I can confirm they work on BOTH of these as I have tested them myself and as have other ICX Members.

The data only works for certain people in certain locations

my main provider is Three UK and it works 100% perfectly fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I tried them both in Washington (UK).

Care to upload your /system dump and let me flash it? I think I might be doing something wrong.

Did you use gingerbread or ICS libs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Kerian I think it is something to do with the phone masts in your area as many people who are also on Three UK have this problem but also others who are on Three UK work but only in certain areas.

And I fixed the data by using ARCS ICS Libs
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
which r those specific files which u think are related to this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
The files I used from the ARC ROM are placed in my update.zip for the data I made before.
[Xperia Play Android Development] beatblaster:
Eh, maybe. For me, on ATT in the US, so far the ROM seems to run OK except the battery drain is really high. I went to sleep last night with the battery at 79%, wifi and 3g both on. Woke up this morning (8 hours later) and checked battery life - was at 43%! :O On stock .42 I lose maybe 6% tops.

Oh, and in Trebuchet, when you browse to the toggle widgets Trebuchet FCs. NESoid is frameskipping a little. Not too much to where it's driving me nuts but, then again, I play a lot of Tetris primarily so.....

Your mileage may vary :) I'm happy with this ROM in its current state though I'll probably go back to stock since I need the battery life.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Good work on this :)

I flashed this back when the leak was first released and was happy with it and used it as a daily driver for a few days but an increasing need for the camera meant going back to stock, i flashed V2 a couple of hours ago and everything is as described, WiFi, Data work perfectly fine and i'm on GiffGaff (O2 UK) the front and back cameras work (with the expected green tint) I also flashed the AOSP theme and while this does say only compatible with V1 it seems to be working perfectly fine, all the buttons look right and all work correctly, i have only noticed a couple of minor issues:

If i tap a contacts photo in the messaging app to enter contacts rather than open the message then contacts FC's, and as previously mentioned in V1 the icons for wifi and Data do not "light up" but the arrows indicating data sent/recieved is working fine, so as i say minor things with the first being found out by accident.

But overall i am very impressed and this could easily be my new daily driver :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] =Dynamic=:
Can you tell me Antutu score ?

Thx!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Yourmama:
Phone Issue

I tried flashing this ROM a couple of times, however I am experiencing several issues.

Firstly, when it boots I get 2 processes stopping a couple of times but then stopping.

android.phone stops and keypad also stops.

However these "process error" windows stop showing after a few seconds, and after that I am not able to access the phone, keypad, and contact app.

Second I cannot connect to a Mobile Network, I tried replacing the SIM card, and rebooting however it did not work... :(

Other than that the ROM is fantastic in my opinion, and if I can fix the above issues I am going to use it as my main ROM for a while.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
then you can't use the rom for now.

this errors are because of provider.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Yourmama:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

Do you by any chance know about the reasons behind this error?
[Xperia Play Android Development] =Dynamic=:
i just installed this rom..

i'm flashed the kernel.

after i goes to recovery and flash the v1, v1 to v2 and camera fix.

i'm going to OS and i get many keyboard fc, when i open contacts, mess doesn't work and no sim !

why ? What is wrong ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
This is because the phone masts in your area give out different signal reception.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Yup, i have the same problem.... for now there is no solution....
[Xperia Play Android Development] mauaus:
Just gave it a try, nice to play with ICS for a while the interface is nice and all but it doesnt feel as snappy as GB for our device (YET). But really nice job by the devs :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I've gotta say that ICS is the best thing since sliced bread..

Even with the minor issue that I have no data connection at all, WiFi wont work, apps constantly force close (keyboard) and I have no connection to my network (T-Mobile) - I can safely say that once its completed it'll put a smile on a lot of faces!

Tbh, if anyone knows of anything that I can try to at least get a cellular connection for phone calls... It'd be a great help! xD

I've not had a thorough check of all the posts within the topic, however does DooM intend on making the kernel overclockable? I currently only see default clock speeds. :( (So things lag a tiny bit)

EDIT: Just flashed and installed the CM9.0 ROM, My network now works.. And things don't constantly force close. Not sure if knowing this is of any benefit to anyone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Still using this today, still stable and im enjoying it it's also fairly quick with all the bloatware removed (timescape etc..) Face Unlock isn't working though, just looks "starting up" is this a known issue? I've had a look at the apk's permissions using root explorer and everything seems ok, i even removed and reinstalled it by creating a backup using Root Uninstaller but no dice
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Doesn't the faceunlock function use the front camera? Which is currently not supported.

Also, on the screen shot on the first page it also shows it as 'Not working'. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
My bad, the front camera works i can view it as you normally would by switching the camera with the button inside the camera app, its green too like the main camera but it works
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Oh... I've got CM9.0 at the moment and the front camera works fine (without the green) however selecting the other camera simply crashes the app. I didn't have a good look at the camera app when I used this ROM but I thought it had the same/similar issues.

I also thought the same fix was applied to both ROMs? Strange how they give different results :confused: but ok then! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
could this works on CM9??? I just want the on-screen button on CM9.
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
There is a tutorial in the android general forum how to get the onscreen buttons in every ics rom. But why? We have hardware keys, they are useless.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
i know right, but I'm just trying. hehe :D btw, can you give the the link for the tutorial? I CAN'T FIND IT. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Sory it was in android software development. here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364757
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
I flashed this because i like the look of it i think it finishes off the ICS look, also the hardware buttons don't give us the "recent apps" list which looks really nice too, yeah it's more of an aesthetic thing but im all about the aesthetics of ICS :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
I think you now it but long press home brings you the recent apps menu, also you can remap the search key to recent apps, i saw another toturial about that:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Speaking of aesthetics, have there been any developments on getting the ICS lockscreen working? I know it displays when the gamepad is out so its in there somewhere i was going to look at it myself but cant find where in the framework it is?
