Yeah, my setting wasn't applied after I ran it either but im not sure if it's the same problem as emmdub. I do see that it creates the .buildprop hack file. But i'm not sure why the setting isn't sticking.

I noticed that even with the hacked market sometimes I have to clear data/ cache because sometimes it kind of reverts itself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theb1rdm4n:
I would like this to work, but I don't think this solution is permanent for a few reasons:

1. The market does not read the build.prop file directly. It uses the prop values that are stored in memory, and retrieved by the DisplayMetrics class. That is why after changing your density you have to reboot to get the market to recognize your new density.

2. The market does not use your device density to check compatibility. The check is server side. The market sends your density to their servers along with other info about your device when you accept their terms and services (and sometimes periodically, but not every time you use it). It registers your device info with your deviceID, and determines compatibility that way. Its how the website market knows which devices you have and if they are compatible.

Note that I am not an expert, but I have written an app to change lcd density, as well as decompiled the market and studied it a bit, so i am pretty knowledgeable in the subject.

I am going to be installing a new ROM on my girlfriend's INC2 today and just had a few questions. One, what is the best AOSP ROM out right now (my guess would be Liquid 3.2). Two, what is the best Sense ROM out? Most likely I will be installing a sense ROM as she has been running Liquid for a long time now and is running into some bugs. Also, at least for my Thunderbolt Sense ROMS are getting to be really nice and just as fast as AOSP IMHO. Anyways, my focus is on the Sense ROM, something that is new and updated. Any suggestions?

I would ditch sense and go with cyanogen or MIUI. My only issue with miui was battery life, but maybe you'll have better luck.

For a solid sense ROM, check out skyraider Zeus 1.3. It's based on the stock sense2.1 but has some 3.0 upgrades. It's a very stable, fast rom.

MikRunny is a good sense 3.5 ROM. There are some minor bugs, and it gets a lil laggy once in awhile. But overall its a solid performer.

Please help, thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erakko:
Because you're on Darky's ROM, you already have CWM. You don't need to install new one through ROMManager.

Only thing you have to do now, is wipe and flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
With Darkcore there is no need to install the CWM Recovery through the Rom Manager. Anyway ist seems installing CWM with Rommanger does not work with the SGS. (I didn't try because i always got it with a Custom kernel but i read it a few times). Instead you have to flash a Kernel which includes the CWM Recovery :)

To the installation of the CM7-Rom. I usually flash a Samsung Stockrom before flashing a Custom Rom. It seems to be the "cleaner" way. But if you go after Erakko's Instructions you will get CM7 as well :D I think it's on you which way you will prefer.

I bit the bullet and installed Cyanogen Mod Version 7 3.5 and the market. After one reboot back into Android and one into WebOs I ran into the Cyanogen Mod boot loop. Searched quite awhile on how to get out of this and found I had to do a hard reset by pressing and holding the power and home buttons. After I did this I booted into Android with no problem. But now when in Android the screen shuts off and soon after reboots. Anyone one know what might have caused this? How to fix this?

Edit: Did a couple of reboots with no problem. Turned off the Zen Live Wallpaper and that seemed to fix the reboot when the screen turns off. We shall see.

You may want to use SetCPU and set the min freq to 594mhz at least to prevent this reboot. The higher the less likely to reboot but may cause battery drain. Mine is set to max 1404 mhz / min 594 mhz / on-demand.

Hi :)

Today, ive taken a big step to root and unlock my bootloader of my xperia play

ive switched from an iphone, so i still a n00b at this. i rooted using superoneclick, and unlocked my bootloader using the test point method (DRM, Track ID still working:D)

I would love to install doomlords kernel because i heard about overclocking. ive read through logesman's super complication thread, and it was a big help. so how would i install it? i know vaguely how to use flashtool. ive read about some wifi/bt issues so is doomlords kernel safe? also what is cwm and what does it have to do with kernels etc?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can flash doomlords kernel 2 ways. You can flash it from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or you can use flashtool. There is no issues with WiFi or BT, you need to flash the extra modules in dooms thread from recovery after flashing kernel. CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) is a custom recovery you get embedded in doomlords kernel. Recovery is an enviroment where you can flash new roms or modify your existing rom, you can also take a backup of your device, perform data resets and mount various partitions.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttiimm:
thank you alot :) how would i get into recovery if something happened and also how would i make a backup?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
To get into recovery, power off device, then power on and start tapping back button until device boots into recovery, there is also an app on the market called "xcharge" that will let you reboot straight into recovery. To make a backup, just go to the backup option in recovery :p

However seeing as the above is possible, I don't see why one can't make the same but then with an ICS skin to look identical to the official buttons.

And it appearing on the bottom of the screen once pressed.
[Nexus S General] mlin:
I'll take a look, I've never used nova launcher.

Yeah, I used Fergie's zips for previous ROMs, but I just thought it would be cool to have a toggle for all ICS ROMs- similar to the custom settings and toggles that devs are currently adding to their ROMs.

Interesting, that's definitely along the same lines, but I'd rather flash the recovery zips and have the actual buttons rather than running an additional app.

please... why not version locked and unlocked bootloaders for all roms.....:confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
Locked bootloaders are restricted to stock roms, period. Custom roms require a custom kernel, which can only be installed with an unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Now we have CWM for locked bootloaders, you can use any custom rom based on stock, so thats every rom apart from CM7 and MIUI.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
If you have a locked Bootloader, you can not use fastboot. So how can we flash a new ROM without fastboot? And we would only be able to flash a stock variant ROM, (basically bloatware removed), or a UK ROM or something, but im not sure what their ROM has to offer thats so different than ours, that I would not want to be able to fully use my Xpearia Play app to purchase new games. Everything a variant Stock ROM would do, i can do to my Stock ROM i already have.... remove bloat, change the look and appearance, even change the carrier name in the notification bar. Im not an expert though, thats just based on my limited knowledge of our phones.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Stock variant roms can have a lot more done then just debloating. Look at my ics theme if I built a rom based on the look and feel of it every stock app would change in appearance. Not to mention most roms for any device are based on stock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
I actually did check out your theme, nice by the way. to use your theme do i need to flash a different stock rom, or can i use the stock rom that came with my phone?

Ahhh.... ok i see what your saying.... to change certain files in order to achieve a "themed" appearance on such a large scale would actually require pulling a ROM, decompiling it, making the changes, re-compile everything, then repushing, or flashing it as a whole new ROM. (hence the term stock variant as opposed to custom rom)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Just flash on stock 2.3.3
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Yea its based on stock but is visually and most the time functionally different.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
So, actually, there are NO custom ROMs for the R800x, just customized versions of stock. And of those, there are maybe 2 CDMA compatible offerings. The GB "ROM" and using the ICS theme. Not the UK version because the hardware keys don't work. Other than that, what else is there?

I've seen this asked multiple times. I have yet to see anything but a vague answer. We need actual names, links, etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
What do you expect a custom rom to be. A port of an htc rom, cm7(which is basically the same as our stock rom just loads of extra features), miui. a custom rom is nothing more then a customized version of android designed for a device and we have those. I think there are 3 developers for the cdma play so the amount of roms we have reflect that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:

Wow, you guys have an odd sense of entitlement. This is a developers forum. Ultimately, it is here for the developers. If you want to know if a ROM works on the R800x look in the thread for that ROM. If you want more ROMs available either make them yourself or figure out a way to unlock our bootloader.

Ultimately, there is not nearly as much to be gained with custom ROMS as there is for other models, since we're already on a fairly stripped back Vanilla version. If you want to theme it, use a launcher.

I'm running ADW with an ICS theme... before that I was rocking Launcher7... Just enjoy your phone for what it is.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanBoro:
CM7+ is actually a possibility on Locked Bootloaders.

I remember when I was on the Xperia X8 + X10 Mini Pro we never had a bootloader unlock until about 3-4 months back or something like that and we managed to get an almost perfect CM7 ROM thanks to FXP and we also managed to get a Honeycomb port!

So it is a posibility, maybe FXP will start having there ROMs for locked bootloaders.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
They declared that since there was an official way to unlock the bootloader, they wouldn't try anything such as bootloader bypass.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
It isn't a complaint, it's a request for a list. People keep saying there are several ROMs that will work on a locked bootloader, but no one ever gives a list or details. I read the threads, but the information simply isn't there. Or isn't clear to someone who doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.

And I have just as much right to make a request for information as anyone else. That's hardly an attitude of entitlement. But there is clearly an intentional bias against anyone who doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, particularly R800x owners and all we ever get are vague, unhelpful, often insulting answers from elitists who clearly enjoy lording it over the "n00bs" instead of helping us learn.

If you have nothing useful to contribute to the conversation, don't post to it, troll.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
My point that no one will just fill that blank in and give a straight answer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I told you, you can use ANY rom based on stock :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Thank you for that much. And from that I would conclude by stock, you mean Verizon stock 2.3.3, is that right? I only ask because what is stock depends on your phone's kernel also, from what I have read.

Most ROMs say they are only for unlocked bootloaders. Most also are for GSM only. So the statement "any ROM based on stock" needs further qualification.

I think after all of that, the R800x is limited to GBTweaked and the ICS theme applied to my own version of the stock ROM rooted and debloated/rebloated to suit me. I, and other R800x owners, are looking for confirmation or a list of what else we can experiment with. That's what I meant by vague replies.
