I'm thinking this as well. For example, when I flashed 114 over my 113 install, GPS remained broke, even though no one else seems to have any problems. I'm thinking of starting from scratch with 115. Also waiting on Chevyowner :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I badly wanna know this as well, it seems no one knows either as I asked the same question a couple of days ago.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Ok guys, just a quick recap, so great we have 115 now, it seems it is not as glorious as it was thought to be. And pretty much nothing is fixed? I'm gonna do a complete, Clean install along with the latest Kernal and I will report back my experience and shiz.

PS. I don't understand FXP actually decided to listen and took his time and finally changed the upload server, one thing I don't understand is why does it have to be some dodgy upload website that no one really knows about and has a very slow download speed. I mean after all we have Rapidshare, Mediafire and etc

Premium memberships cost money. They'll be probably looking for the most cost-effective solution.

Then again, they could use Goo.im since it is where the CM official team uploads their stuff.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
As an affiliate, you get more money for clicks/premium sign-ups from sites like uploaded.to and fiberupload.com. Not saying that's a bad thing, they deserve it

[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Ok Guys, for those who are not sure about things that have actually been fixed and think they have done the flashing process wrong, I did a clean installation of the latest ROM (FXP115) along with the latest Kernal provided. And after looking into the ROM I'm gonna produce my own version of the change log of whats working or not in here since the one provided by FXP is slightly out dated :D

Clean Installation: 1) Wiped Cache > Wiped User Data > Factory Rest

2) Flashed the Generic R800i 4.0.2.A.0.62 (Baseband -64)

3) Wiped Cache > Wiped User Data > Factory Rest

4) Flashed boot.img provided with the latest CM9 115

5) Wiped Cache > Wiped User Data > Factory Rest

6) Flashed CM9 FXP 115

7) Installed Gapps

8) Wiped Cache > Wiped User Data > Factory Rest

Done! :)

CDMA users! I have ported the build.prop, lib files, and apn config over from chevy's 114, and have confirmed that this boots, has CDMA signal, etc.

I didn't check all of the things that arian009 checked, because I wanted my own stuff back, and it was going to take some time to test. If there's any problems, I'm sure chevyowner will make one anyway. After all, I'm just a noob.

After thinking better of it, I'm uploading it to Mediafire. That way, I won't have to rely on getting messages about it. It'll be a little bit longer, sorry.

And here it is! http://www.mediafire.com/?c2769sdjfwdloq7

Cool man. Well if you get bored doing these mods for us, perhaps you can make a quick writeup of what you do to mod the GSM build, so others can pick up where you left off?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I'm currently talking with chevyowner about his mods so that I can end up taking over the CDMA edit for CM9. Hope nobody minds having a little bit of lightning in their phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
+1 that chevy. I erased the message I had from pax telling me what you changed. If you don't care to continue one of us will take it over, hell maybe pax will lol Good luck on the new phone too :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Chevy, post a tut on the changes you made to CDMAize it and I will make a script (linux)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Sorry to see you go - your mods always work, and so little does on the R800x.

On a brighter point, hope you enjoy your new phone and it lives up to your expectations! :)

Well, I've been goofing around with KA12, and I liked it a lot, but I just couldn't get data to work reliably. I had it working well at one point, made a nandroid to test something else, restored the nandroid and data no longer worked! :(

I've seen the light, and it is CyanogenMod.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Dang, it's about time, man. I've seen you bouncing around these roms, and I gotta tell ya, I've been happy with CyanogenMod the whole time. If you want something even more stable than CM9, go for CM7. Although, you'll lose all the ICS benefits...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Yeah, KA12 I had high hopes for being based off the Sony beta, but it's no where near as ready for primetime as CM9. Didn't even stay on my phone for 12 hours. And I just don't play enough analog stick games for it to matter to me.

And now, I don't see any reason to switch back. Because drumroll, FXP115 fixes location services! Confirmed both wifi & cell options are working. Hellz yeah!
[Xperia Play Android Development] dn*:
Love the ROM guys, ICS is great and this is a great implementation. Everything I need works great, but the battery life is a bit of a pain.

Are there any quick wins for increasing it? I'm on FXP114 still.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nighty0:
Hey Arian, could you test changing front to rear camera on google talk? I made this on clean fxp 114 and was a disaster. To make camera works again i had to reboot.

Another thing is gps. Sometimes i need the true gps, with lat and long, not only maps location and a-gps approximation.

I had tested with gps status, whom I trust on Sony's gingerbread but failed miserably on fxp114.

Thanks for you time. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Sony use GLONASS or whatever it is afaik

Sent from my R800i using Darkforest ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dudeness83:
To any of you r800x users that upgraded to 115, did you do a full wipe or just the dalvik and cache? If i wanted to do a full wipe would i still have to flash 112 and then 115 or can you activate with 115? Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
GLONASS support comes only in the Xperia S as far as I remember.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I would have a check but I don't really use GPS. I think they introduced it to all in the .42 update, not so sure though, might have seen it on Sony developer portal somewhere.

Sent from my R800i using Darkforest ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I have this question as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
you don't have to jump from 112 anymore..I ALWAYS do a full wipe but that's just me. I'm running 115 now :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
I just wiped dalvik and cache. Upgraded from 113 to 115. Went ok so far. Took a nandroid just in case though.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

I just wiped caches and upgraded from 113 to 115 on my R800x. I attest that I experienced much what arian009 did. Only things I didn't test in his list were Wifi Hotspot and USB Mass Storage.

I would also like to add the following (using same color scheme)

Location Services (Wifi & Cell) Working, (tested maps and weather.com}

A2DP Audio Not Working. Still being output to phone speaker. Noticed in logcat that during the pairing and connecting, the AudioHardware reports that it's directing audio to the speaker.

Sound Volume Still Low. A whisper compared to the KA12 rom.

Also, got same results in CPU Spy. In fact, I don't think it's logging states right anymore, as the counter never goes from zero, and none of the used states ever change. Also checked in No Frills CPU Control, its reporting that my current frequency is 1.024GHz, but in the state breakout the only state with any time attached is deep sleep.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I had such a mess going, I needed the full wipe. You can just install 115 and its all good.

Agreed about volume though. KA12 has XLOUD installed and the difference is night and day. Wish we could get that implemented here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] EagleDelta1:
I'm on chevyowner's FXP115, but I still can't get the video decoder to work. I'm on the Darkforest Kernel. Do I need to update my kernel before it'll work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Ok dude no problem, I did as you said and yes you are right, it is extremely buggy. In fact, I wasn't even able to get any picture at all, it seems the both cameras front and rear are unable to function when in a call and I tried switching between rear and front and I was faced with a message saying "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped." Hope they fix it soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, it was a long time coming, but I have finally found a ROM I can live with. It's not perfect but it does pretty much everything I need it to. Very happy overall.

One bug I don't think I have seen reported: Caps Lock doesn't seem to work. To type the word rom in all caps for an example.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
no problems with battery life or MMS? or the camera?
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
Use fxp kernel

mms works perfect as with sms, battery life is still eh, not bad i'd say..camera works awesome (for me anyway)
[Xperia Play Android Development] likuid:
Agreed...besides the battery this is a very stable build!

Maybe i'll enjoy my phone for a night instead of spending hours flashing away...but then again that's the fun part right? :p

I am using chevys modified 115 but I am having problems with the phone freezing and restarting randomly. never while sitting there, always when I go to do something basic, like open the app drawer, or go to settings, or add a widget
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
can someone help me here?

Im trying to flash -64 baseband via flashtool but I get this error

ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";

I came fron a GB custom rom with -64 baseband I think ( it says -64 at about phone )

flashed fxp115 boot.img booted to cwm factory reset and cleared cache

flashed fxp115 and then gapps

rebooted fine but without my sim

turned the phone off to insert my sim and in order to use it

phone kept rebooting at fxp logo or sometimes wont show anything but vibrates when pressing on.

is it baseband related? when I take off the sim it boots up but not all the time :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I'm using the same version and have had no problems. I started from a clean install 115 after clearing the big three. I'm also using the 115 kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
same here

I tried a full reinstall, reset on me once so far.

wont play any sounds on my memory card, gallery is half greyed out. and doesnt see my pictures that were taken before.

any fix for any of this yet?

Ohh and it deleted everything off my memory card. actually, kept every single folder but deleted everything out of every folder. Dont as me how, i dont know, I just see that it did... Thank god for Dropbox auto photo uploads.

and any way to make it louder? ringer, alarm, notifications are all like 50% what the UK rom and Stock roms are/
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
How is this from overall compared to ics roms?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
managed to make fxp115 to work well

music on google music works

bluetooth,wifi, cam but I cant play a game its either the app crashes or the phone freezes to a hault amd needs the batt to be pulled.

Im using the boot.img from 114 as I cant boot 115 with my sim on
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Sorry, man, but there won't be a "fix" if they're problems that nobody else has. You need to try doing a factory reset from the CWMR menu, then reflash 115. And as for deleting things off your memory card, I'm not entirely sure that installing a rom can actually do that, without the user botching something in the process.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I'm sorry for your troubles. However, I would have to agree with lightningdude here and say I don't think that it's likely that FXP115 is your culprit here. Maybe something you were running along with it? All I know is I did a factory reset, cleared cache, dalvik and battery stats. Then installed the FXP115 zip file and rebooted and it was like magic. Everything essential to me is working great.

I've watched NetFlix and TV.com, played several of my favorite games, sent and received test message and email, made and received calls, etc. The only 2 minor annoyances to me are (1) the CapsLock key doesn't seem to lock down on the keyboard, which can be resolved with a different keyboard; and (2) the sound is not as loud as I would like. I'm confident that will be resolved at some point. I don't use or care about Facelock, so can't comment on that. I have had zero (0) reboots, no apps have frozen on me as yet, downloads from the market work equally well over cdma or wifi. It's a solid daily driver.

It's important to note that since this is essentially beta work, we're all beta testers. It's reasonable to assume, expect, and accept that there are going to be things that are not quite ready for prime time. However, I feel safe in saying that if the issues you are experiencing were happening to others, this thread would be SLAMMED with posts about it.

Instead, let me suggest you try this:

1. Return completely to stock on your phone. Allow it to configure etc, just to satisfy yourself it's working as it should.

2. Now use fastboot and flash the FXP115 boot.img to your phone and boot into recovery.

3. Do a factory reset, clear cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. (Sometimes just for craps and giggles I do a factory reset 2 or 3 times, but I'm OCD that way, LOL.)

4. Install zipfile from sdcard. Select the fxp115 file and install it.

5. At this point, DO NOT INSTALL anything else.

6. You can clear the big 3 again if you're OCD like me. and even do a fix permissions if you want.

7. Reboot your phone and go through the normal setup procedure.

8. Try the normal stuff first - make/receive calls, send receive text, emails, etc.

9. Once you see how this is all working, then add one of the games that was giving you trouble and test that thoroughly. If it works ok, add the next and test it. Once you are confident, you can begin to reinstall your other apps.

10. Be wary of programs that are supposed to manipulate the sd card to speed up apps or memory etc if they are not commonly used and have not been confirmed to work.

I wish you well!
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
netizenmt, since you're not opposed to purchasing apps that work, as I've read in other threads, might I suggest an app called Volume+? It allows you to push the volume of the speaker higher than would normally be allowed, for the speaker and in-call volumes, as well as others. Be warned that pushing it too hard could damage your speaker with extended use, but it will allow you to put it back to where it was. Here's a market link.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I already own that one for a Chinese tablet I was fooling with. I don't recall that it helped much with the speakers, just the headset, but I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know what happens.

I also forgot to mention, I have 2 apps I would like to use that I can't get to work for different reasons.

1. The Amazon App Store - it keeps telling me my username and/or password are wrong, even though I can use the same one to log in on my tablet or my PC.

2. PAC-MAN for Xperia PLAY - It tells me it is incompatible with my device and won't install. It works fine under GB. Any work-arounds for that?

UPDATE: Well, either that was a different app I bought or it's linked to the hardware ID not the Google account. Any way, it was just a couple of bucks, so I bought it. It's not XLoud, but it does help a bit. Thanks for the tip.

NOTE: I usually only find the need to boost volume on movies, and the EQ setting Spoken Word is great for that!

Try restoring data from a titanium backup if you have it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yeah, I wish, but unfortunately, I don't. :(

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Actually, I found the fix for the Amazon App Store, and BOY do I feel stupid. If you go into the Amazon website, and go into "Your Account". Scroll down to "Digital Content" and select "Your Apps and Devices". (Not "Manage Your Kindle", like I did :eek: ).

You can only have 25 devices. I had exceeded that count. Once I cleared out the ones not needed, caused by multiple re-installs due to flashing, I was able to log in. Everything is working great.

Now if I could fix my PACMAN for Xperia PLAY game, I'd be totally happy! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
did all this about 2-3 times now, still get random restarts every now and then at the most random times. Unlocking phone, going into app drawer, simple things.

Formatted the memory card since well everything vanished anyway. and no, there was nothing running, everything was there the first time I installed the stuff, did the big 3 on the 2nd install and everything on the memory card was gone except the folders. the only real important stuff was the pictures which dropbox uploads to my computer anyway so no harm. As for programs to alter memory card never touched the stuff. my only real problem at the current moment is ringers, notifications and alarms are quiet. and random freezing. and i dont have my nandroid backup from my old install anymore... due to the data wipe something did to the memory card.... ahh well...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Flyinduke:

If it gives me a lat and long with < 7 meter aproximation, don't care if comes from russian or american sattelites :D

With google maps only I can't easily check this info, with gps status (or any similar app) I can.

Your pacman fix could simply be an edit in your build.prop, but I'm not sure what would need to be edited. You might find something if you look around, and I'm sure you have, but you might be able to narrow it down to a build.prop issue.

For your reboots, are you overclocking your rom at all? If you are, you might be running it at too high of a clock speed, making it just at the unstable mark. Details on your clock speed, please?
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
I had the high clock at 1204 low clock at normal. and everything was working better at those speeds, didnt crash once.

took it back to stock, and crashing left and right.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trygon:
Sounds to me like your sd card is failing. I'd imagine that could cause reboots, too
[Xperia Play Android Development] JasonKnight:
tried 4 different cards as well. all different sized and classes. doubtful it is the card.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trancicted:
Someone that has the ROM got working should give his md5checksum. Maybe his ROM.zip is corrupt..
