HOLY COW I GOT 3G! ><"

I'm using the ICS Kernel and this rom (Including the update V2 after a lot of messing around with V1) and I'm getting a 3G connection every so often to T-Mobile UK.

The only downside is, the V2 update completely ruins my signal every time i apply it, no matter what i do. So, i can get 3G, however 99.9% of the time i don't have a signal to my network at all, so whats the point? lol. Any ideas?

In my eyes, its a lot of progress! xd Excluding the minor details such as WiFi no longer working and a few other things xD - But those 3 seconds of 3G every so often is a plus! :p It also doesn't crash when going into APN settings, like it does with the normal Kernel.

Hmm, by the looks of things.. It's not saving the APN settings.. So, T-Mobile are trying to push the configuration to my phone.. It applies the internet settings.. And then seconds later they're being deleted? Make sense to anyone? :confused:

So, V1 means no 3G but good signal. And V2 update means no network 99.9% of the time..

Uhh.. I dno what I've done but I've gone back to ICS now, and I have a perfect signal to the network and 3G intermittently? Still, rarely... But It does actually pop up every so often? ...ICS is a douche. >< It's messin' with my head!

I just use widget locker.

It has a nice looking and customizable ICS skin

JACKPOT!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
okay, thank you so much buddy. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] WayneT37:
I flashed this two days ago, and aside from the odd glitch (random self reboots) its flying along, I have full Mobile Data and the WiFi works fine. Only constant glitch is the camera screen is green even after I applied the fix, but the pictures that I take with the camera come out fine.

Thanks to all who were involved in getting this to the stage its at now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
The camera fix is to make the camera work fullstop as it didnt work at all in V1, the green colour is to do with the fix (for now)

I cant get GiffGaff to send the APN through they sent a text saying they had problems getting them through, i entered the APN manually and it works fine and hasnt deleted itself, ive only had one random reboot so far after removing the car charger while the navigation app was open.

Also despite ticking and unticking the "scroll wallpaper when scrolling homescreens" option in Trebuchet settings, the wallpaper remains static.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
That's not entirely true as the camera works perfectly for me and I'm running V1, because if I update to V2 it kills my GSM connection completely...
[Xperia Play Android Development] ojdon:
Does anyone have a mirror for the .62 firmware? I can only find a megaupload mirror, which as all of you know... Is down.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
Anyone know why 720p recording works on an R800x using this rom & camera fix? On any gingerbread firmware, 720p doesn't work and just crashes. Is there some way of using certain files from ICS to make the camera work on gingerbread?

Hey just to let anyone else know if they was struggling to tether a wifi hotspot from ics rom like me that baracle works fine for me

I couldn't find where i downloaded it from before so i am uploading it to File Factory, i couldn't use Mediafire as there is a 200MB limit on free accounts it should be up in around 30mins, i'll edit this post when it's up.

**EDIT**

Here is the link to the 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware (ftf) file. Enjoy.

[Xperia Play Android Development] ojdon:
Thanks for this. Downloading it now.

Can this be flashed over CM9 which is currently installed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] WayneT37:
I have gone back to stock, the frequency of crashes and reboot escalated as days went on, all in all though I like the feel and look of ICS , totally understand this is a leaked rom and is under constant development , great job on getting it this far.

ojdon I'd recommend just flashing to the correct stock OS before installing this, I installed it over CM9 and it had numerous issues and I just ended up redoing it again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
i get keyboard and phone force close and it doesnt accept my sim??

any ideas?

Oooops sorry just seen why

wanted to ask u, i have xperia play 2.3.4 .42 version running on my phone, stock rom, bootloaoder unlocked, rooted... u released ur android 4.0.3 rom for xperia play.. rite?? it only supports stock .62v of rom.. so for that, i downloaded an ftf file of v.62 n flashed my xperia with the help of flash tool.. now, .62 does not allow me to rooy my play, for that i downloaded ur kernel v10 something.. as told by u in that post, i flashed that boot.img wit the help of fastboot.. kernel got flashed completely.. i booted, it was ur doom kernel logo.. then i rooted the phone wit that zerg method.. it got rooted, then i installed clockwork mod recovery something version 5.0.x.x.. i can go in that recovery mode.. as told by u, i clear that system cache n factory reset from tht recovery.. the main screen.. then install zip frm sd card.. then select that ics room.. it says installing.. the installation bar below, does not complete fully, but it says.. instaleed... and when i reboot, it not even starts the phone.. i have waited for 2-3 hrs maximum.. i done this many a times, but this is all the time i get.. now u only suggest me, m i doing something wrong?? please help me...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Not sure what you did there.. doomlords kernel for this ROM roots the phone for you.. you dont need the zergrush method, reflash. 62, now reflash the V10 kernel, then redownload the ICS rom (dont open it) drop it onto your SD card, boot into recovery and try reinstalling the ROM dont do anything with the zergrush exploit this time and see what happens
[Xperia Play Android Development] TDMaster:
How is the day by day use of this rom?

is it stable

how much Games not work on it"?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Great news!!!

i have data fully working (atlest for me:)

i am using data for an hour now and no problems

uploading a update.zip now

If you want data add manually a apn (apn don't fc anymore)

edit: download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ch67c7fxdk07whw (flash with CWM)

i tested it with baseband -56

please try it and report

THis fix may only work for this rom!
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Does all of ICS futures work?

Camera / Front Camera for Face Unlock?

Im Downloading it and will flash it in 20 minutes..

Timescape is not included?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Front and back cameras both work (theres a green tint in preview but pictures come out normally) however face unlock does not work
[Xperia Play Android Development] TDMaster:
and as a Stable day by day is it good for use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
I will test it, i will give you an answer in ~24 hours ;) :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Pretty much. I did get random reboots every now and then
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Will reinstall ICS now and test - This will be epic if it works...

EDIT: Gave it a shot with updating from V1 - No joy, wouldn't detect SIM Card and APN Settings crashes. Then gave it a shot on V2, same results but could detect SIM - No network coverage though. Both done on baseband -56.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
So after 30 min off testing im flashing back to .42.

Here my results..

Data works perfectly on o2 germany with hsdpa/3g and 2g

Camera has green screen but when you choose panorama mod its normal

the one thing wich doesnt work is bluetooth :(

and i had problems with root explorer..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Can you put the exact steps you took in order to get Data working?

It's most likely just my provider, but I'm up for testing anything that might get it to work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Yes here it is..

I installed the main .zip

than update 01 to 02

and than camera fix

and in settings menu i choose auto search or whatever the name is .. dont really remember..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
it worked.... happy now...:-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Issues with root explorer could be a superuser issue, in which case you can flash the superuser fix from the original thread, but this should be installed as part of V2..

As a daily driver ive been using this for around a week and data is fine, bluetooth ive had no reason to test, wifi tethering doesnt work, but in a weeks use ive only had two random reboots, so for me this is stable enough as a daily driver
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I'm just waiting for gamepad and touchpads to work then I'm in
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mariol:
thanks for the great ROM! The link for the AOSP theme is down tho, could someone rehost it? thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
hi,

I have a new data fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?h23sug74duqt49x

now you can see signal strength!

I tested it it is working in the netherlands and germany! (can't test 02 uk)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I'll post back within the hour on whether or not it works with T-Mobile UK. ( :

Edit: No joy.. However i have just noticed that i have the 2.6 kernel? Where do i get the v3.2 from? O_o

Edit2: Got a little bit further with the FXP Kernel, but was still unable to get a stable data connection. : |
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Guys, everything is fine, but i only have one issue, when i record a video i simply can't view then and every chance i get to play the video, it freezes and finally reboots within seconds. anyone else with similar issue?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Spizzy01: did you enter the apn manually?

And what is hour baseband?
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
T-Mobile Germany? Or which Carriers?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
I tested it with tmobile nl and tmobile de
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Any chance that you implement that into ICX?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
I noticed in the Beta3 for ICX found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1404712

That the lockscreen for ICS works perfectly in portrait and landscape, is there someway this can be ported to this ROM? i attempted to edit the XML files for framework-res.apk, resigned it and pushed it back with ADB but the phone just reboots and gets stuck in a boot loop
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Yes Nick, I entered the APN manually - In some cases i clicked save but it didn't save and in others the Settings simply crashed. (You'll have to forgive me, I don't remember my results from last night but I can test again tonight.)

I've tried it with baseband -64,-56 and -36 and none of them worked. I did however notice you have a different kernel version in your signature? Mine says 2.6, where did you get your 3.2 version from?

Edit: SON OF A! I think I may have found the issue, I'll not say anything yet but.. I drive home from work within the hour, I'll give it a shot as soon as I'm home.

Edit2: Scratch that - Looks like i failed the fail.

Edit3: OMFG IT WORKS! XD! Nick you are an absolute legend! It was a mixture of a herp derp on my part, and an epic fix on yours. Thanks!! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
(Wrong Thread)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
From what I gather.. Most reboots come from issues with the Trebuchet Launcher.. It also displays widgets incorrectly and generates graphics issues when placing them on the home screen. Shortly before FCing and then after persistant issues it'll eventually reboot.

Edit: Noes.. No OC/Undervolt either... T_T
[Xperia Play Android Development] TDMaster:
well tried it i got so much FC that it was unstable .. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I'm using it on a daily basis... Trying to keep the FCs and Reboots to a minimum.

It seems that you are unable to play games at all, for example if I were to load up Order and Chaos, after checking the files it would force a reboot. I'm assuming some sort of graphics issue, I'm tempted to see what installing Chainfire3D might do to it...
[Xperia Play Android Development] WayneT37:
I had the same issues with a few games including Order and Chaos and have tried Chainfire but to no avail. Like I mentioned earlier, I ended up going back to stock as the reboots became more frequent and happened because of basic stuff like opening a text message. Don't get me wrong, it was great for a time, and was nice and fast , but eventually it became unusable for a sustainable period.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
I would like to remind everyone again that this is a leaked Rom which SE are still working on!!! The whole point of posting this was to give the Xperia Play community a sneak peak of what's in store when final ICS is released by SE/Sony... This Rom IS NOT MENT TO BE A DAILY DRIVER...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I can live with the odd one or two reboots/FCs from time to time. It's been stable for the past 12 hours, so I can hardly complain.

Going back to 2.3.4 would just be... Well, crap to be honest! Especially after spending so much time on getting data to work on 4.0.3. So I'll stick :D My replies to the topic are more of an FYI than anything - for users and devs. I for one, am not complaining and I appreciate the fact that this is only a 'Try before you buy' sort of thing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Alexander33:
Multiupload is down... can you reupload them on mediafire or another website?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
Did you really have to quote the full post with pictures just to ask for mirrors?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Fixed the links of the AOSP theme :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
yes he is.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
does ths theme doesnt work on icx play rom 4.0.3? I want that on screen buttons.

Also that theme has a yellow colour when touched. Its like having a ice cream sandwich with gingerbread theme? Who wants this? Somebody please edit and change that to blue.:-) i don't know anything about all this:-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i hope u guys didnt miss the NEW DATA FIX by Nick!
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Didn't miss it; didn't work. It didn't work for UK networks anyway (I tried most of them).

Which files are the problem files? I'm assuming they're the lib ones. But which ones specifically?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
I asked many people form the uk and this fix is working for them.

Did you msnually entered a good APN?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
They download automatically. When I apply your fix I can't choose them because the APN bit is empty. When it's empty and I manually create one it's still empty. When they download automatically and I create a new one it still doesn't work. I've tried 3, T-Mobile, Orange, 02 and Vodafone.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Although I admit I haven't tried every permutation (there's 3 ROMs, 3 basebands and loads of networks (I've tried 5)). Unless my maths is wrong, which it probably is, that's 45 permutations. That's not including with and without any fixes!
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
For a fully stable working ICS Rom, wait for Darkforest ROM 4, but that will be based on the official ICS Sony gives us, and I might not release it on xda.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
So when the official ROM is released, wait some more?

Have Google buggered up with ICS? I thought it was supposed to be universal, therefor easier to work with? If I could find some information on what the files do and what they're for I would give it a bash.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I don't quite get what you mean in your post, but it isn't that I can't develop the Rom, it is just maybe I shouldn't release it, I have seen a few people disrespecting developers lately and just recently received a load of abuse from someone who I couldn't help via PM.

It's the minority that do it, and it happens everywhere.

Within days of an official ICS release, I will have a kernel out (if DooM doesn't) and DFR4 will be done.

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
This is exactly why I have stopped developing with ICX now. All i received through inboxes was abuse for releasing such a sh** ROM. Well there dumb its bound to have problems when itsonly a beta.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Well at least someone shares the same problem as me. I just had a rant at someone on the CM7 topic, go have a look :D

Seriously though, people need to realise that developers don't get paid, and the people that inboxed me with abuse are lucky they didn't get reported...
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
What I meant was, you said to wait for your release (for a fully working ROM), then said it would be based on the official release. I would have thought people would just use that if there was no working one til then. If it's just a few days then fair enough (that's what this site is about).

I hope my posts don't come across as critical or negative (including this one), you can't express tone via text.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 2abani:
i have 1 bad block and no kernels work so i always have to use the original ftf

is there any way i can have custom kernels???
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mael5trom:
@Deanboro/Kieranftw

I think most of the people on the board understand the need to wait, that you have lives outside of developing these roms, and that its a 2 way system, the devs fix the problems, and the rest bugfind/donate and add in ways not directly related to development.

Unfortunately it seems the minority that are all too happy to get on and piss and moan are also those with the least patience and the most intent to make themselves heard. Basically attacking the hand that feeds them, and I can understand your resentment. Please keep in mind that its the vocal minority and do not reflect the views of the rest of us.

I'm sure you understand this already but I thought it might help to reinforce these ideas. We greatly appreciate the work you guys do. I get frustrated reading all these posts every day and seeing the same people (usually) spouting and disseminating the same crap, knowing its got to have an adverse effect on the patience of the devs.

TLDR: We appreciate your time and for every person being a pain in the ass, theres a lot of people thankful for and reading/paying attention to what you say, please keep that in mind.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
developers..please dont stop yourself from developing... haters will hate...may be you try appointing some dedicated testers so that devs could be reported of hidden flaws and bugs instead of abuses.

And to those people who dont appriciate devs work, you dont deserve to be here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
so u will release a stable ROM after u get a stable official ICS ROM from Sony/SE... :p just kidding mate,... keep up the good work ;)

i know very well how noobs can be annoying...

best way is to directly ignore such p.m.s/posts... though i myself sometimes get damn pissed off at stupid posts...

ur boot nand/bootloader may be damaged... try if u can get device replaced...

totally agree with u guys...

Hey guys, so I just flash this for the first time, and i'm getting errors like android.phone has stop, keypad has stop and i have no network signal can't even find any wifi signal :(... what have i done wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
It's a leaked rom... it's not supposed to be very usable yet

I see, ok thank you but is they a fix for network? I can't seem to get any signal..
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
did you flash mine data fix???
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
It just won't work if your getting those force close (keyboard and phone) something to do with your network I've been told
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
what did you flash??

First kernel

then rom

then rom v1 to v2

then my data fix

reboot

Yup.. i exactly did those steps... still no luck..

i will make a new data fix.

I hope it is working then:)

Hey doom could you please add overclock In your next kernel pls
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@DeanBro, krazyd007

check screenshots!

anyways whats important is that hopefully the GSM APN will get saved and we will have data on GSM/WCDMA!
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
I'm on the correct baseband and contacts and messaging didn't work :(

Can't wait for the update! :D

You guys are doing a great job! I will be making a AOSP theme for this later today!
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hmm thats odd...

can u go to recovery wipe everything (factory reset) and then flash the ROM again?

this issue was on the first version i was testing internally but i later rectified it... the version posted here shouldnt have that issue...

if a fresh install doesnt help then try this:

using root explorer/adb shell copy/move the apps from /system/vendor/app/ to /system/app/

may be that should help?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Hmm well thats strange :o

GSM Data is fixed :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Dean can u please post the fix update.zip asap? i got to rush to a meeting in some time... will flash the fix before i leave from home ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
will do it right now :D

can you come onto the irc a second want to speak :)

hey dean i gtg right now...

okay thanks :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks to nodch for creating this preview video of this ROM:

@ICX devs

hey guys may be u can work up a patch so that CDMA users can also use this ROM?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey everyone i just noticed a very interesting thing...

lock the screen (press power button) and let device sleep... then slide out the gamepad... u will now get a landscape orientation of the stock AOSP ICS lock screen!!!

also the "touchpads" act as cursors/pointers! so may be we need to look at the idc file?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
DataFix.zip - 460 KB

GamePadFix.zip - 15 KB

you must manually push the files as I do not know how to make a flashable.zip but hopefully DooM could do this :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pos411:
keep up the good work guys...very funtastic! :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:

more to come shortly but for now i must sleeps :) 8.45 am and still no sleep!
