[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Pretty much nothing was fixed?

http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/

music routing on BT headphones fix - that's Bluetooth audio fixed!

new adreno libs (all 2011 devices) - that's better 3D performance.

new radio(gsm) libs (all 2011 devices) - better battery life anyone?

new kernel (R800) - has OC and some other stuff merged.

support for R800x device (needs 4.0.E.57 shipped rom to be flashed first) O.O thats kind of a big change...

;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Please tell me Wifi hotspot works, or I will litrally murder myself :O

UPDATE: Nope, doesn't work :( Lets wait for FXP125
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
nope lol just treid it it dont work
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I just tried OC and there was no OC... THERE WAS NO OC! lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
You're right. I should have stated that it's the incredibly slow performance that's keeping me from using it, unless that's been fixed but I need more information before knowing for certain. Not to mention CWM is not functional any more.
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
thers no overclock at all ic an confirm
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I suppose even though for us R800i users this update is not a big deal and infact we now no longer have a functioning CWM... fellow CDMA users can now rejoice :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Well put, that's basically what I meant before. There really isn't much different for us, unless the laggy performance of the previous rom is fixed (is it?). For r800x users though, welcome!
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Does OC really matter for now? does anyone keep their phone at stock frequencies?

It will be added in the future, but there is no point fixing things in the kernel now when Sony will release new kernel sources soon anyway.

Performance is great, no complaints at all :)

WiFi hotspot is broken in kernel, requires bcm4329 module rework which cannot be done in ten minutes.

CWM should work fine...

Please people, be patient. The developers are working for FREE here...
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
No, not really. I flashed the R800x version, and it had no signal. I had to flash the port zip that I've been using all along to get it to work. From my perception, no difference there. I haven't taken a look at both versions to see if there is actually any difference, but I can if someone thinks it necessary.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work that FXP and the other developers are doing for us, and adding support for the R800x is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. I wouldn't mind if they didn't release anything for a few weeks if it meant they got things ironed out the way they want, instead of just making their normal weekly release to appease the leeches.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
okay, I will investigate the issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I guess when Sony releases the Kernal sources, then thats when the Devs will start making changes. I have a good feeling about it. Because if you think about it most of the issues atm are all kernal related, Video decoding, OC, CWM and even WiFi hotspot as Keiran mentioned! So we will have to wait for sony to release the kernal sources. Anyone has any clue when that will be?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No idea.

I think the network problem on CDMA is related to proprietary libs.

Edit: my patch broke CWM functionality, will fix ASAP!
[Xperia Play Android Development] opdrago:
the boot.img that comes with fxp124 doesnt have CWM, and if im flashing PLAY-ICS-Beta-DooMKernel-v03_boot i dont have wifi.

any suggestions?

thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AudioCreaper:
Learn to read. Somepne here already said what to do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Would you be able to further clarify on the problem with proprietary libs? I mean, what I don't understand is how changing the lib files through the porting zip that you and Atarii made can make the signal work, but the CM9 build, itself, is a problem.

Is it because of the fact that the libs are proprietary, and as such, CyanogenMod and the team members can't use proprietary code without permission?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
For the record, I made a donation after fxp123 came out :D

I'm a firm believer in supporting devs! But Keiran you already know this of me ;)

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Thats not a problem, no, I think the libs need to be updated at koush/proprietary_vendor_semc for this to be fixed, I don't have access to there.

I know :) I am sure FXP will appreciate the donation :)

I was the one who messed up booting into recovery across ALL of the 2011 devices and this is my fix - so shout at me please.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
here is fixed kernel, CWM is fixed, that is:

http://icxperia.com/keiran/freexperia.img
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Now I'll give fxp124 a try, thanks :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Don't thank me, I broke recovery and kernel on 12 devices.....................................................

sometimes I am such an idiot..
[Xperia Play Android Development] opdrago:
thanks KeiranFTW.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Everyone F**ks things up, We're only Human.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Oh wow, for anyone disappointed with the sluggishness of fxp123, 124 has been faster for me even after the first boot than fxp123 ever was.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I was told to test stuff before I pushed to gerrit, and this was the only thing I didn't test...

But I should have tested it, and I will always test in future.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
At least you learned a valuable lesson from it. What is life without making mistakes?

[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
More stable than the last build, But I'm restoring my previous ROM because the lack of Video playback.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Maverick_G:
What do you mean by lack of video playback? I can watch videos on FXP124 using Vital Player app from Play Store.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Doomlord follower:
Fxp, I would like to ask you if there is any chance for Linaro Android optimization on cm9.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
It's coming ... http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/17380/
[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
thank you! works great! everything works great! so smooth and fast this rom! dont even need overclock! this is the score I got after some tweaks:
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
How are your 2d and 3d scores so high?

I get 187 and 850 respectively.
[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
try this then do a benchmark test
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Do I flash this in recovery? and where did you get this from?

Also, would I reflash this after each nightly/weekly update to CM9?
[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
yes flash in recovery, I used the latest FXP124 and the KeiranFTW fixed CWM kernel and yes you need to reflash everytime you flash a new Rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Ok and where did you get this from?

Thanks btw.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
haha hey glad to see you flashing some ics roms! cant wait to see what you got up under your sleave now that your bootloader is unlocked

[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
So it works for adreno 205 as well? Well obviously, or you wouldn't be recommending it. There are more instructions than simply flashing it in the link you provided so are you sure I should just flash it? I'm sorry for all the uncertainty and questions.
[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
That flashable zip will add those lines to the Build.prop, and I didnt do the rest because the CM9 allready have the latest libs(Correct me if I'm wrong) flash thet .zip, do a benchmark test and then tell us if it worked. thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
The flashable zip vokal provided has a script that does all that extra stuff on it's own :) Well done vokal, keep it up!

Don't mock me but does it work for gb?
[Xperia Play Android Development] vokal1992:
Didnt test it but you can test and report here :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
It's reporting higher scores in every benchmarking tool out there apart from nenamark 1 and 2. I get considerably lower scores on them when the tweak is flashed, especially nenamark1. It goes from 55/56 to 30-40. :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tenacious:
So you're the one responsible for broken cwm but it's OK at list you learned a lesson.

If I upload Neo kernel for you cud you fix it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Willie_Dynamite:
Big shoutout for working on this ROM.. So happy to have BT audio working again :D

Keiran sweet! Your awsome man :D Gonna try out the Camcorder fix :P

UPDATE: I think I see what you mean by unstability LOL Lets just say my friend thinks I'm an alien now. After flashing it the homscreen font went all wierd :P but somehow it's fixed but then again I no longer have camcorder :(

But I'm it can be further developed and optimised for the play through a few minor adjustments. Seems like the file was originally created for the arc from the description on CWM
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
Keiran? An chance that you will create a kernel with overclock and hw decoder?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No, Sorry.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gh61:
How did you done the previous kernel with hw decoder? Is it now possible?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Sony should be releasing kernel sources soon, and FXP is waiting for that to fix hw decoding. (Makes a lot more sense than shooting in the dark trying to fix it, imo)
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
When they do, where would they release it?

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Hey, I came across it once, now I lost track of the post. Where was the post from upgrading FXP CM7 to CM9. I have the official verizon file I know I need to flash 1st. Then whats next, I have to redo cwm and root it again or what, then flash cm9? R800X.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Since you're bootloader unlocked, once you go back to official firmware, you can simply flash the CM9 kernel and then flash the rom without problem. Make sure you get the right kernel, though, because the 124 kernel has no recovery. If you take the 124 from FXP's host files, you'll need to flash the CDMA fix that can be found in pax's threads, no matter which version you download.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mustbepbs:
What's the difference between flashing FXP124 for zeusc coming from say..CM7, and flashing the 2.3.4 ftf and then flashing CM9? Does it add any bug fixes? Is video playback working for anyone, too?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Oh yea, forgot R800 needs a kernel too.. forgot about that, so used to not needing one lol. Ok but will cwm stay or will that need to be redone? And where is that "fix"? I thought fxp cm9 now supports r800x officially, shouldnt need a patch?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Wait for next release.

No patch will be needed as phone functionality is fixed.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok but then still, I need to make sure I have the right steps here. Heh. Cant switch from CM7 to CM9 unless I know what I fully need to do. Like I said, I saw the post somewhere, but lost track of it. >.< damn CDMA models.. make life so much harder.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
If you are having frustration, you can do this:

1. Download FXP124 for GSM or CDMA, and flash both the Kernel and ROM.

2. Flash Gapps.

3. Flash this.

You should now be all set to go for CDMA CM9 :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Guys, I'm buying an xperia u tomorrow. There is a great deal on Carphone warehouse for 184 pounds on T-mobil.. Anyways getting to the point, in FXP's signature says U as a supported device. Can someone who know clarifie that for me please. Xperia u Doesn't even have a proper development page on XDA?!?!?!?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
All 2012 line will be supported.

Don't buy it on T-Mobile, boot loader cannot be unlocked on carrier models and there is no test point method known atm.

[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
Hey Keiran I have already bought it. Should I cancel it, because I'm pretty sure carphone warehouse sells unlocked phones. I mean ye it comes with a T-mobile simcard but I'm quite sure. I mean in the worst case, I'll wait for a method to come. What do you think
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
So here is a stupid question.. where is the kernel for the rom? I mean I have the files, but dont see a kernel listed anywhere. Am I blind or am I missing something here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dudeness83:
Open up the zipped rom file you downloaded (winrar or 7zip works) should be at the root of the archive
[Xperia Play Android Development] cosvel:
Thank you all guys for this greeting job.
[Xperia Play Android Development] panzerscope:
No boot loader lock and sin lock are completely different. You may get a sim free fine but its boot loader will still be locked. You don't want to get it on T-Mobile as it will be harder to unlock the boot loader at this point. Cancel your order.

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow :eek::D
[Xperia Play Android Development] benben972:
Does FXP 125 have linaro's tweak ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
If it's been merged in the CM9 changelog, then yes. That is what the FXP changelog refers to as "latest cm 9.0 fixes."
[Xperia Play Android Development] arian009:
I got the phone. It's not locked!!

I used a vodafone sim and worked. Lol how should I check for boot loader I belive there is a code that must be pushed in the dialer
[Xperia Play Android Development] benben972:
F5 powaaa :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
So FXP 125 wont need that cdma mega fix patch anymore? For the R800X?

Also when it was said the kernel is in the root of the zip file. You talking about the boot.img? Cause this seems like a normal flash file to get the rom going. Getting confused now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Flash the boot.img found in each package using fastboot.

FXP124 CDMA works fine. The patch that I included is to fix multiple ICS releated issues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Thanks. Now I think I can be back on track. =) Also are your fixes gonna be in 125? Or will we need to reflash those fixes after 125 again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
*Grumble* About to toss this **** out the window.. I mean ok the boot.img thing I shouldve remembered, but now everything else. 1st off after flashing the ftf file, it does seem like I need to reinstall CWM (Which is something I asked..) which now THAT part is pissing me off cause not trying to use the google market app to do it, got my recoveryplay.img but thing that was only a temp file if I rem right.. but then I dont rem 100%.

Back when I 1st did all this.. I found everything I needed just fine. Unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, flashed FXP CM7 . NOW when I try to find all the info I need. It seems the posts are gone etc. So I am feeling god damn lost. Even among the stickies it feels like. Swear, I hate CDMA. Love my GSM.. 100%.. also forgot to backup my MDN and MSID info.. >.>

Will report back if I manage to get this going right.. One positive side, I did flashtool the verizon update just fine. Of course, had to disable my AV, Forgot my AV doesnt like this installer >.>

Edit: FFS... now it seems I have the wrong CM9 zip. Thought its zeusc since thats what agraceful used for the CM7 builds.. >.> (Ok just checked, it should be zeusc all right, so why the **** is it giving me a build prop issue when I try to flash it?!) and another thing.. even on CM7.. never could do the "spam vol down button" to enter recovery.. always had to use adb once I was in the phone to do that..

Edit2: Sigh, Give up for the night. Only way I can get into a CWM is via remoteplay.img which wont let me flash the CM9 file. When I try to boot into recovery normal, it stays on a black screen, and yes the CM9 boot.img is flashed over just fine, I do see the FXP logo come up, just does nothing after. I hate to leave things unfinished but its about time to go home from work.. just annoyed that it doesnt seem as simple as a "flash ftf, flash cm9, flash gapps, claim victory" So if someone has some advice, Ill see it in the morning I guess.
[Xperia Play Android Development] idiotzach15:
I'll pm you a nandroid of my system late tonight or tomorrow if you want me to.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
nandroid of course could be nice.. HOWEVER that implies I could get INTO the recovery mode I should be getting into (Via the boot.img and spamming vol down) recovery. I can use recoveryplay.img but guessing thats not good enough to flash CM9 with? So yea, kinda dont know wtf is going on atm. Just know once this is done, I am making a post for anyone else with CM7 to know how the upgrade to CM9 should go.. least maybe will help them out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
After you successfully boot your phone when flashing the .ftf, flash a CM9 kernel. I recommend my Mjolnir Kernel for now, as the boot.img that came with FXP124 doesn't have working recovery. Without letting your phone boot all the way, get into recovery by hitting the back button when the power button led turns blue. Then flash FXP124 and you should be fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zacky32:
Has the In-Call volume been fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
In-call volume is fine for me. If you have problems, hit volume down once, then back up. That should take care of it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fareeed:
FXP125?

Has FXP125 been released yet for the R800i (zeus) I checked the changelog and alot of new features have been added, I was just wondering whether or not it's been released yet? - Thanks :)

only in weekends or on monday!

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Why o Why didnt anyone say that before... That would be something that people SHOULD know about. >.<

Edit: Now Ill assume this, flash fxp124 using this other kernel, then once flashed, flash the fxp124 boot.img back, correct?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Which part wasn't mentioned? The fact that FXP124 doesn't have working recovery was addressed earlier, and KeiranFTW posted a replacement kernel that did.

FXP124 boot.img still won't have the working recovery. You can stay on Mjolnir Kernel, it works just fine on CM9. Or you can search the last few pages of the thread to find the freexperia.img that KeiranFTW posted.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Yea, I never saw a mention about the recovery when I started posting on "this" thread. I was just told flash cm9 and so etc. Heh. However it did indeed work. Then yea.. I guess I should stick with that one img since fxp doesnt work. Tho I see the proximity sensor doesnt work? Either way, all is cool now. Kinda. Gotta flash the Mjolnir img again heh.

Also wondering... when I use titanium backup to restore. Was there a way to make it batch install to the sd card? Usually when I try to restore, it wants to try to dump it into the main internal memory, which wont have enough space.

Edit: Ok seems you "shouldnt" do the cdma mega fix flash till after the setup process. I tried to do it before I did setup and setup would keep force closing and wont let me pass. So gonna try to wipe again, then sign in, then flash the cdma fix.

Ok just tried that... nope... getting stuck at setup wizard has stopped. You hit ok, returns to the android screen, and wont let me pass. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
The proximity sensor hasn't worked in CM9 for quite some time, at least for me. I don't know if anyone else has had success in it working.

For Titanium Backup, there should be an option in the settings menu to restore them to where they were previously stored. It's in the Restore Backups to... menu, and you can select either Android's Default Location, Original Location, Internal Storage, or External Media.

Instead of doing that, I use Link2SD, so what I do is, while Titanium Backup is restoring, I move the new apps one at a time as they are installed. Or you can choose to install the internal apps first, tell Link2SD to move all new installs to SD Card, then install all of your SD Card apps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
Any clue why I cant get past the setup wizard? Just stops, returns to the android icon to start.

Edit: Also seems from the power button, reboot, recovery, just gets stuck on "Rebooting" only can get into recovery mode from cold start.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
As for the setup wizard, I have no clue what the deal is there. But for the reboot recovery option, try pressing the home button after your sd card has unmounted. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to do for you. I believe that's a problem I've had for a while. Strangely enough, if you go into a Terminal Emulator, whether it's part of an app like Rom Toolbox or a standalone app, you can enter

su
reboot recovery

and it'll take care of you.
