for people they have some trouble with activate the torch from menu button

You can activate the torche from home button but it works only when you press the home button while screen is off you deactivate the torch with the same way otherwise when screen is on the torch goes on and after 3 second off
[Xperia Play Android Development] Me-Nex S:
how can I install it ?

any instruction ?!
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
You have to unlock your BL.

Than install fastboot drivers.

Copy the update.zip to your sd card and flash keiran's darkforest kernel.

Boot into Recovery by pressing Back Button when the blue led lights on.

Wipe your data and cache and install zip from sd card "update.zip"

Boot - Done - Be Happy with your miuimized xperia play :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
If you get stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo after following the instructions, install the ROM again.

Has the fixed rom been uploaded yet?? Still get error 6
[Xperia Play Android Development] blonqe:
I just wanted to say that MIUI is the best rom i've ever tried.

Only reason i got rid and went back to a custom stock rom (DarkForest V2 - KerianFTW) Is cause the touch controls dont work :( and as its the main reason i got the play

I will watch this thread with eager eyes :)

Thanks again though Kieran for bringing me more delights to my play!
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
yea even im hoping to see touchpad work soon. but first there are few minor bugs which requires a fix first. And by Kerian's words i think touchpad is bit of a challenge here but he will get it working that im sure of :D

Make sure you wipe dalvik cache, normal cache and factory reset then flash .zip again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Wild Cat 2005:
Sir .. it is too nice and smooth ROM

Thanks too much..

but i have 2 notes for you :

1- please we want strongly Ice cream version from MIUI , not Gingerbread version :o:o

2- there is some language missing or incomplete support in your ROM , please fix it like ARABIC ;);)

again .. THANKS Too Much :):):)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
I did those exact three things (factory, dalvik then cache) I also redid it after the first boot. No luck.

Try flashing DooMKernel for MIUI then factory reset & wipe all, then flash the .zip I posted.. let me know if it works?

**Please note everyone I am not taking any credit for the .zip I posted, it was all Keiran's work I just added the install scripts that were missing**
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I got it fixed, I take it you have to use a special signature for your rom otherwise it doesn't boot? I had to use the CM7 stuff and an old update-script to get it to work.

-de and -en fixes coming soon :)

I've got major problem! Google Goggles doesn't work when to I try cheat at pub quizzes.

dont cheat then lol

Had to go back to CM7, was running great absolutely loved it, until it started locking up and freezing - alot! i was running DooM's kernel and baseband -64 over-clocked to 1.6Ghz would any of this cause my problem?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
I'm using Darkforest Kernel by Keiran for almost a month now and it never crashed or froze. Mine is OC to 1.6ghz and i have tested till 2.0ghz too and that was smooth too but more battery consuming for the obvious reasons

Just one question, if I'm coming from 2.1.13 do I need to wipe? ><

(Or is there any reason to upgrade at all if I'm okay with automatic brightness?)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You don't need to wipe at all :)

believe me, you are better off without auto brightness as it really dims the phones backlight badly, this is because there is a protective layer over the screen (look if you don't believe me), it does mean setting brightness manually but that shouldn't be a problem considering there is a brightness toggle in the statusbar.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Invalid or deleted file! :(

Please re-up!

BTW: Is this version the german miui with fixed "error6" ?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
Right mate you've convinced me to give this a try but i've noticed a couple of things that i dont think have been raised previously. First up i have no keypress vibration, not a big deal tho. Second, when i plug the charger in, the cpu goes to max speed regardless of the governor that's been set which i'm not sure should happen

Tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes, but fixed version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vnpdwqk9yz57g1f

Keypress vibration, you mean hardware buttons? If you mean keyboard, you need to turn it on in the keyboard settings.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
Got the keyboard sorted by downloading a 3rd party one, like i said, thats not really important, the thing that got my attention was the cpu state while on charge

Tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
CPU thing have an explainable reason behind it, might be kernel related, will look into it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
Cheers keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] vemoxy:
Thanks! I've updated to 2.1.20 without any problems.

I found a problem in video recording though - any video I record, I will always get the video playing at double speed for the first half duration of the video (and the audio at normal speed), and then the second half will just be the video freezing at the last frame while the audio plays normally. :(

[Xperia Play Android Development] SkaterOllie795:
This is an amazing custom rom. I unlocked my bootloader today and was just going to install this rom to have a look at it. However I love it and I think I might have to stay with it. I remember having a rom just like on my Xperia X10.

However, I tried play GTA III and it didn't recognize the touch pad was slid out so the controls wouldn't disappear from on the screen. The strange thing is that it was using the old controls from V1.00 so up on the DPAD was accelerate.

Love this rom, Thank You

Does dock mode work? I haven't got a dock, but when I put magnet near the USB hole some screens and apps go to landscape mode but in the settings it says it's not docked.

Doing it a few times makes the background image go all funny. I tried taking a screenshot but I don't know where the pictures are saved. Which brings me to another question. Does that work and where are the screenshots saved?

Before you (keiran) have developed this version, i tryed the Version from BMSPS.

Hi Keiran,

Importing contacts from a v card file off my SD isn't working.. I may have to go back to stock ROM as I have no other way of getting them back (no backup on google account etc)

Anyway I can fix this before I go back?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No idea.

You could export from stock rom to sim and then import them from SIM in MIUI.

Keiran

Oh of course didn't think of that.. you are a legend mate :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:

i know that google goggles work, but i mean the app like "barcode scanner" or "barcoo" ;)

Google Goggles can scan barcodes too yno :)?

Great, will test it now. Love the MiUi cause the Themes :P

edit // is german language support in this rom? if not.. how i can flash the german language to it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Nope, there might be a German language pack. I will convert the MIUI Germany for you tomorrow if you can get me a link to the Desire HD version.

Looks great Keiran. Just curious why touchpads will never work on any rom but stock? Ive seen it asked over and over but never an answer. Just curious is all. I'm probably not smart enough to understand :p Hope to see an update to your darkforest rom soon ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It needs to be integrated into the source code. And MIUI is closed source. We don't exactly know how it is configured, but on ICS touchpads should work on any ICS ROM due to the way Google added touch device configuration.

Hey guys how can I get GTA 3 working properly on this ROM.. its bugging me :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
Noticed a really nice feature with this rom. when installing an app/apk there is an extra option called sd-card aswell as your usual install/cancel buttons. This installs the app straight to the SD cars which is pretty cool

Also noticed there is an option to enter proxy setting which i dont think is avaiable in any version of android i've used. can actually get onto the internet in work now cause they use a proxy and i couldnt before,
