FXP109 was the last i managed to download... sometimes i can download from the link but the speed is horrible... around 10kbps... then it always fails at around half... then i wont be able to download if for awhile... tried creating an account but it didn't change...
[Xperia Play Android Development] dn*:
Is this ROM self-contained or do I need to install a separate kernel?

I'm going through the normal process of deleting data/cache/dalvik, installing 114 but I'm stuck at the Free Xperia boot logo.

Any advice?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Did you copy the update-zeus-****.zip to your sdcard, do that and flash via zip in Recovery, If you want full instructions, then here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play:_Full_Update_Guide
[Xperia Play Android Development] dn*:
Thanks TheCraig! My old HTC Hero G2 days kicked in. Consulted the guide and realised I needed to flash boot.img first and then go in and flash ROM.

In my experimenting, I backed up my card so at least I have a clean SD card now :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Bluetooth media audio is still broke, FYI
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Thats pretty much one of the only things that is either broken or buggy for me, I only flashed this a few hours ago and most games I've tried work pretty nicely, its a lot smoother than the Sony ROM, I will stick to this for months to come, lol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Can someone link it here? I don't have access to my PC right now and signature links don't show up in the phone app. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Here ya go!

Can anyone confirm if Onlive works on this version? Need for Speed Hot Pursuit?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Menu does and all, Not sure if actual ingame gameplay does though...
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Just tried it, neither work. Probably just revert back to stock until any of these ICS roms are stabilized.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
mm... As long as Virtual Tennis works I'm not bothered that much, has anyone tried modifying their build.prop file so instead of zeus its R800i so a game recognizes it as a Xperia play and not the codename? I can't do that right now busy with ****.
[Xperia Play Android Development] dn*:
Since unlocking my Play, I initially installed CM7 which was fine. Then I tried MIUI and it wouldn't work because it said my phone was SIM locked (it isn't).

I got the same issue with 114 of CM9 and have since found the issue:

I had my SIM card pin-locked. For whatever reason, Android thinks that this also means my phone is SIM locked? I guess? Not sure what the relationship is, but there is a correlation. Removing my PIN lock has fixed the problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
I've found a bug, Not sure if its me or whatever but everytime I lock my phone my screen brightness is set to the lowest automatically even though it was set to high. any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
I think fxp still has auto brightness enabled..or its default is just the lowest..I got the same thing, but wasn't happening when I used darkforest kernel

This app works. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...uYW5kcm9pZC5EaXNhYmxlX0F1dG9fQnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
PewPew for xperia play does not operate with the touch pads properly. Left stick up is down. Right stick works, but the sticks do not work together at the same time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Did anyone find a way to increase ringtone and alarm volume? I tried the method agraceful posted a few pages back, but my default.prop reverts every reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FPlusPS3:
No video at all now?

On FXP114 CM9 videos do not work at all it just says cant play

fun ...

R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Battery Life seems a lot better. Lost 4 % after an hour instead of the usual 10-12%.

Edit: After 1 hour of idle and 1 hour of light use I'm down to 79% battery, so I may have spoken too soon.

Edit2: Definitely spoke too soon. After 3 hours it's down to 60 %. I'm on darkforest kernel so that may be the cause. I'll switch tonight and see if battery is any better tomorrow.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
I can play videos, its just Youtube does not work...

By the way aren't CM9 builds released every Monday?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MAster224:
So Cm 9 is working for r800x now? if so some one for the love of god tell me how
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
I'm on my phone now so I don't have the link but look up chevyowner's posts. He has his own build that works great
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
As long as you can go without touchpads, or video playback. Camera, camcorder and data, wifi all work tho. As for the battery I play gameboid (gba emulator) for almost 5 hours straight on darkforest's kernel and my battery was only down to 50~60 %. But then again everyone has different settings and stuff.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I might have a bad battery. I was down that far in 4 hours texting off and on.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
So I'm curious to see whether any additional development will continue here, particularly with regard to video playback, etc, now that so many have jumped on the Sony Beta ICS and derivatives bandwagon.

I'd love to see this project be fully completed. I think it's going to be a while, if ever, that we see a totally useable ICS release, particularly for the R800x.

Thanks to all the devs who have continued to make an effort to help out your poor Verizon cousins. :) We appreciate you far more than you know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I'm sure that as this ROM gets closer to perfection, including add-ons from stock ics, more people will lean towards CM9. After all, how many people switched to CM7 over stock gingerbread?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Not everyone is fully happy with the stock beta. It runs quite well, but there is room for improvement, which CM9 can deliver in my opinion.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Not to mention that us Verizon folks will never officially see the ICS update in our lifetime, or at least the usable lifetime of the phone. Xperia Play 2 (if there is such a thing) will be out long before we officially get ICS.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
I will switch to this again once they updated the wifi modules and if there is deep sleep (:
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, I will be EXTREMELY happy with whatever ICS ROM (clone) that can pull off CDMA calls + data, working WiFi and functional streaming video.

Heck, they can even throw Face Lock in if they want! :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
Working trackpads are a must. I think most of us got the phone for gaming and without trackpads there is no point. I'm really hoping that the CM9 fixes can be put into the Sony rom when/if Sony ever releases the source
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Would these wifi modules work on cm9? Works on Sony ics beta for deep sleep.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24094260

Does the Sony ics beta help with gamepad and touchpads for cm9?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
It works but you have to copy and replace the wpa_supplicant file. BTW, gamepad and touchpads work currently, ever since FXP113.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Not like they do on stock though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
Well, prior to FXP113, they didn't. O button wasn't mapped and touch pads didn't work in games like Dead Space, FIFA 12, GTA3, etc. But since then, it seems they just did it the right way. When I manage to get GTA3 running it recognizes my device and all works properly, followed by a fatal crash, of course ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I was saying all games not just the few that do :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Flyinduke:
What do you mean? Using test apps to test movement, I see full range on the touch pads.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
So the cake is a lie?! Damn, I knew this was too good to be true. Name a few games that don't work.

[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Try most ea or gameloft. They implement them differently than cm9 reads them so they don't work
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trancicted:
where did you see that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
As I said earlier (or maybe in a different thread) PewPew for xperia play (free on market) has big problems with the touch pads. The right pad works properly, but the left pad is inverted (down is up, left is right). They also do not work concurrently. AKA, you can use the right pad, or the left pad, but not both at the same time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Can someone help me enable Wifi hotspot because on the original thread it says, Wifi Hotspot works fine, but every time i try to turn it on, it just doesnt work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Also why is it that in the change log there are two FXP 114 ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
Alright, while flashing FXP114 I noticed they have removed the UI selection color fade... And now I'm very mad :mad: I mean, why in the world you remove one of the best aesthetic effects in ICS since screen rotation transition efffect?!

If you don't know what I am talking about, take this example: open the phone app, place a call, then hang up. In FXP113, the hang up button turns blue and slowly fades to red. In FXP114, it turns blue and then abruptly turns red. That reduces CM9/ICS awesomeness significantly!

EDIT: Ahem... Is there any silly way to get that thing back? Will this feature be missing in FXP115 and forth? I'm worried.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Flyinduke:
for the R800x, is chevy's 114 the first 114 release, or the second? It seems like there are two on the changelog, cause I still can't use BT audio with poweramp.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
i think one of the fxp114s is meant to say fxp115
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
I hate asking this because I know you guys get this all the time but I need help flashing this. I have flashed the CM9 114 and 113 several times and cant get a connection to Verizons towers. This is how I flashed. I started by flashing the ftf file. Next I flashed the bootloader. After that I go strait into clockwork recovery and do a data,devcache, and cache wipe. I then flash the rom then gapps. I have also tried several twists to this and no matter what nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This rom rocks from what I can tell and I would love to stick with it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I had this problem also. Here's what you need to do.

Check out my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1564982

That will get you a working FXP113 install. After that, just install FXP114 over it and you should be good to go. But make sure you use Chevyowner's version of each of the FXP files, or it won't work on Verizon.

Good Luck! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] haverdaden:
sim network ?

hmm after i had putted in my 4 sim numbers i got a screen asking for my sim network unlock code ? Doesn't cm9 support my network ? i don't want to pay for unlocking service so going back to stock and waitning for fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
I was wondering this too O.o
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
read this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24322099&postcount=1017, maybe that can help?

waiting for the FXP115. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
Thanks! Im now successful on 113. Ill be moving to 114 when I get time. My only question is can I use the rom in FXP's signature or do I need to use Chevyowners roms only for my phone? Again THANKS!
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I would recommend using chevyowner's version. I can't say the unmodded version won't work, but I've been happy with chevy's version.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
From what I remember, FXP CM9 is NOT supporting R800x yet. To be honest, I doubt they ever will. *glares at Verizon for being fruity*
[Xperia Play Android Development] EagleDelta1:
I'm on chevyowner's 114 and for some reason a ton of apps that previously worked from the Google play store now are listed as incompatible - anyone else seeing this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dudeness83:
I am on 114 and when running oovoo my video is not being picked up i.e. just a black screen (outgoing). Is this a known problem? Anyone have a fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes, known problem. No, no fix yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Hold on, wait, why is it a KNOWN problem? I believe since front camera is working and features such as face unlock work, making video calls on oovoo should not be a problem, can someone clarify on that as I believe this is an issue that must be reported to FXP :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
With all the bugfixes in 115, I am excited for it to drop soon. ICS Beta is just not cutting it for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Yes, I see they finally changed the change log. I believe they should just call the FXP115 as RC1 because apart from WiFi Hotspot we have everything pretty much. :D

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Guys, it looks like FXP115 for CM7 is already released, and quite frankly looks like FXP finally has decided to this time used a different upload servers rather than uploaded :D :o :p ;) :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
He is already well aware of it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Not if you can't watch streaming video still, like NetFlix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Yes you can, hence clearly stated in the change log that video decoder is fixed :confused: unless the netflix app has a complete different issue.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Anyways, lets not worry too much about it, hopefully they will soon release the 115 version since it's already released for CM7 and we can see if all these bugs have actually been fixed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Yes, and it shall be a tasty Ice Cream Sandwich. I just hope I don't get it all over me when I devour it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
Like what?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
No new wifi modules? I take it that means no deep sleep yet so major battery drain is still an issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Would the part in the changelog that says "Wifi firmware" have anything to do with that, I wonder?
[Xperia Play Android Development] EagleDelta1:
Nevermind, Some of my purchased apps were not showing that I had purchased them and a few others (like Google Earth) were listed as incompatible. I ran the Market Fix in Chainfire (Just finished installing the plugins) and cleared data/cache for the Play Store and now they're all working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Not sure was hoping fxp would clear that info up when they Release it. I miss cm9 only reason I changed was battery was too much to make it the day
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I'm actually using DooMLoRD's ICS Beta kernel, and it broke wifi for me, even with his modules. I use 3G more than Wifi as it is (it's great being on unlimited), so that may be why my battery isn't an issue. I haven't checked for deep sleep, but I also use the app Battery Defender. I keep data off when the screen is off, and that has made a real difference in battery on its own.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I simply think there are no doubts that they have greatly enhanced the battery life and improve the battery drain problems. Looking at the change Log there are two things I see associated with this issue...

1) wifi firmware update (stability fix )

2) better power management

This means that they have worked on it and on top of this, I'm not too sure if they include changes to the Kernal in this change log and surely they must have made some changed to that as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brainard52:
I don't even have a modules folder O.o how is this supposed to work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
What file browser are you using? If your browser is set to arrange your folders with your files alphabetically, you'll have to scroll down. I'm sure you have that folder.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
from what i have noticed cm9 has the uses /modules/bcm4329.ko and is part of the kernel and the ics beta uses /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko and is part of the rom

@lightningdude try getting the wifi module from the beta and put it here /system/lib/modules/
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
That's an interesting idea. I'll work on that right now and update this post when it happens.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
Did they fix this in FXP115?
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I wonder when CM9 FXP 115 will be released? I was expecting it to come yesterday along with CM7 FXP 115, I really hope they release it today. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
Okay, on Chevy's fxp114, and I'm having gps issues. I can get a gps lock in maps, but every other app have problems getting it. Navigation can't get it, and noom can't get it either. It reports gps is disabled even after enabling it. Anyone else having this problem?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I know I said I'd update my previous post, but I figured I had more info to share than just whether it worked or not.

I wiped, flashed CM9 114 kernel and rom, and found that the modules folder was, indeed, at root. However, after flashing DooMKerneL for ICS Beta, my modules folder was gone, and it wasn't present in /system/lib either. But flashing his modules added the modules folder to /system/lib, but since it was previously in root, that must be why it wasn't reading.

So, after some playing around, I made a modules folder at root. Set permissions to what they had been, rwxr-xr-x, then rebooted. The modules folder, once again, disappeared. So that's where I got, and am at a loss. putting the bcm4329.ko in the /system/lib/modules didn't work.

I'm wondering if it would work to modify DooMLoRD's module installer to actually make the folder at root, rather than /system/lib?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DanielEGVi:
Yeah, you'll finally be able to change this:

To this:
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
if the zip to add the wifi module put the module in /system/lib/modules it goes there, try "insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko" see if you get an error
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I ran that command without error and now have wifi. My icon has no bars, though in the wifi options it shows three bars for wifi. Do I need to make a script to run at boot for that command, or would it be a different edit elsewhere?

Thanks, chevy, I'm very happy that there's someone far more knowledgeable than I am, available to help.

So, when I look at the change log for FXP115, it says:

FXP115

CM7.2 RC1

- latest cm 7.2 fixes

- disabled all 3 light sensors

- better power management

- reverted to prebuilt sensors (X10)

- reverted to prebuilt camera (X10)

CM9.0 RC0

- latest cm 9.0 fixes

- disabled all 3 light sensors

- video decoder

- video recorder

- YouTube fix

- hostap (comand line only)

- bt audio fix (test on headhone and car speakers)

- mdpi keyboard fix (thanks kamarush)

- Torch fix (all)

- Camera Flash (Ray)

- button maping fix (Xperia Live)

- Mass Storage fix

- wifi firmware update (stability fix)

- better power management

And those hardware decoders were my main interest. Now people are reporting they don't actually work. Could it be some sort of installation glitch, as in maybe needing to wipe the big 3 and start from scratch, or a kernel issue, or what? I can't test this yet - still waiting for Chevyowner to update his link to FXP115 so I can use CDMA :p
