Strange, because mine seems to be working alright....

Is the forum being buggy for you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
yeah very buggy mate. hasnt worked 2nd time around. gonna try reflashing stock then flash 3.1.0

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Did you wipe system too?

and can you compare your md5sum? it should be:

9834137fe89f3fe8c1efae538f35c6b0 DFRGSM3.1.0.zip
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
i have the same md5 keiran. got the same result again after flashing stock .62 and wiping everything then flashing 3.1.0 over that mate

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Anyone having any luck?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Try this:

Flash. 62 FTF

Boot into the phone

Reboot into recovery

Flash 3.1.0 WITHOUT wiping data.

Just did it myself and it worked :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
belter, up and running now cheers mate. first time i been told NOT to wipe data and system lol

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] DavieGee:
Tried this, solved the force closing. however got no network at all, no messaging app and my baseband is no longer showing up in settings, back to 3.0.5 for now. looks brilliant though

Reflashed .62 FTF to try again

Then Doomlords kernel

Then Reboot

Then Into recovery and Flashing DFR 3.1.0

Still losing my radio (baseband also showing unavailable), not quite sure whats happening there

Like I said ill flash to 3.0.5 for now, wonder if anyone else is getting this issue ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Double post

:eek:
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Ok so I had to try it couldn't help myself. Data working here. Didn't wipe data or system. I do have one problem. I left timescape widget on my 6th home screen. The new one has 5 :banghead:
[Xperia Play Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Hey keiran...except from the awesome theming and xperia s apps,does it include anything else such as new tweaks or something like that??

Just asking because i use yours as base and i've flashed team rom/mod over it and i like it very much!So if there isn't anything else changed could you tell me please so i can know whether to flash the update or not? :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mikey94:
Are there still bugs in 3.1? like not working touch pads or data (3g) ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
They're working fine. I have found one problem tho, the tweaks app aint letting me make any changes wether it be to enable or disable

Tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Probably a problem with my coding, maybe I dont give it enough time to apply the tweak before rebooting.
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
same here mate
[Xperia Play Android Development] beatblaster:
This is happening to me as well. I too flashed .62 FTF, rebooted back into recovery and flashed DFR 3.1.0 and though it looks like all is well upon reboot I have no messaging app and Baseband shows up in settings as "Unknown" :(

Back to stock though I do appreciate all the work that goes into this ROM :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
what worked for me was to restore a backup and then flash 3.1.0 without wiping anything. i'd tried 3 times the conventional way of wiping everything and flashing the new rom and got the same problem that you're having each time

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It seems to me as if the new phone app requires data from the old one or it will not get radio. Seems interesting and also may be the problem we have with ICS.
[Xperia Play Android Development] beatblaster:
Nice, I'll have to give that a try again eventually. Thanks for the tip!
[Xperia Play Android Development] sfex3best:
I just want to say I installed the latest version and it is amazing, as always from kieranftw.

Thanks :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cornishronson:
I had this problem so i tried instead of flashing .62 TFT via Flash tool i downloaded the update.zip version from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518144&page=2 (best download link bottom of page) then placed it on root of SDcard. I have DooMKerneL so i flashed into doomlord CWM recovery wiped cache, dalvik, data and then install from sd card then the .62 FW when finished booted to system went to about phone checked i had .64 baseband then rebooted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik then installed DF rom 3.1.0, then in AROMA i unticked lock home in memory(personal preference), system and data and installed. booted up system.. message app and signal available with 64 baseband still intact but now i had no data (2g/3g) so i went to http://setuporange.wdsglobal.com/internet and setup internet files and all works perfect now. (providing your on orange im sure other networks provide similar service.

for me i typed in www.orange.co.uk/setup

hope this helps :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] azadtaufiq:
i just buy this phone yesterday so im kinda noob about this phone..so pliz someone tell me how to install this rom..any guide?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
I hope that the R800x 3.1.0 will be out soon :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] hurdleman:
I've installed directly on 3.0.5, no factory reset, no full wipe and everythings work very good, no fc and I have all my data on my phone.

I only needed to flash Wifi modules again.

The only question, why there is no autobrightness?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Keiran will you answer me mate?I've seen you answerd the others but not my post...:/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Masters2150:
Do I need a specific baseband? When I loaded this, no cell, no data, no wifi.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aightu:
Ive tried multiple kernels and multiple basebands but i cant get the force-closing to start. It looks sweet. But its a shame i cant use any sort of connection.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cornishronson:
Hey Keiran

Any chance u could put up a link to ur go launcher ex dark forest theme wallpaper (wall paper only) as I'm not using go launcher any more but really like that background?

Thanks Aaron
[Xperia Play Android Development] zywin999:
Nice! So Xperia S like :D

Thanks KeiranFTW!

This is what worked for me. I installed 3.0.5, reboot and installed 3.1.0 no wipe at all and everything is all good. No FCs so far.

1 bug though - no Messagin/Conversations. So I extracted conversations.apk from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523311 and it worked. Even the starred messages that was previously reported not working on Flamemo's thread.

Bye
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I finally got 3.0.5 to install on my phone. I did as someone suggested and wiped data in CWM and then again during the install. Everything seems to work well; however, after getting configured the way I wanted by debloating and then adding my apps back in, I can honestly say, I don't see any difference between this and the UK ROM once it has had the Xperia Tweaks applied. If there was a difference at all, it seemed that DF 3.0.5 actually drained my battery a little faster for some reason. So, as far as I can tell, the only real difference is the Aroma installer.

If there are other differences I am not aware of, KieranFTW or others, please let me know what to look for. Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I had to format data in CWM, format it in Aroma and then format data once more in CWM before I could get it to boot properly. IDK why, but that works for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
The differences are mainly in performance. It is much faster at most everything.
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
i've tried all of the above and still can't get any signal or messaging app. any more ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well,after using it for a day, honestly, there's no benefit to using the CDMA version of this over the non-Verizon version of the UK ROM. They are pretty much the same, other than the Aroma installer, if you also use Kieran's Xperia Tweaks apk file with it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Sorry, but I can't just magic a firmware so it works on CDMA. That is the last Sony Firmware that has the UXP UI.

What did you expect?

Maybe I should try porting over Xperia S apps to the CDMA version.

When you don't have a device, it is hard to develop, I don't like releasing broken stuff.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Christian90s:
Hey don't worry about people that complain like that. I'm just glad that you're developing for the r800x even though you don't have the phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yeah I know. I personally hate Verizon for screwing developers and users over by not making firmware and resources available, and they have to use vanilla, don't they? Why the hell can't the whole world operate on one frequency? O2 in the UK have the 4G frequency in the UK, under testing, but it is a totally different frequency to the US. Next thing you know you will have to buy the antenna separate D:
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just wondering if there is anyway to modify the app drawer to "hide" apps like in GO Launcher? I have no idea if its easy to do or a pain..... I really like how on GO you can hide the apps you dont use..... but I do like the look of the TimeScape ....... thoughts?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
sorta ot:

@Keiran - Do you think if we downgrade to 2.3.2, then tryan updated firmware (i.e. yours or a nandroid) that it might not run into the unknown baseband problem? I'm pretty sure, (well mainly guessing, but that's beside the point) that R800x 2.3.2 baseband == .145 baseband (how they got the old fts v5 with minimal changes)

Just an idea... (unfortunately, I don't think we have a 2.3.2 ftf)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I think it will, the phone app as well as messages and other applications are also responsible for network communication.

Which is why on the new 3.1.0 GSM base you must already have phone data on your partition or it force closes and you get no signal.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
is 3.1.0 working and stable?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes, if you don't wipe data. If you wipe data, you won't get data (pun not intended) because the new Phone application requires there to be an existing phone app. Best thing is to do is install stock, boot, reboot, flash without wiping data :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
i've been using it since saturday and havent had any problems other than a minor one with the tweaks app

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
That's because when I added reboot when applying tweaks, I accidentally put the reboot function before the tweak apply stuff, will fix in next release.

Also, have DFROTA with auto clockworkmod flashing, meaning you downloads, it reboots and flashes the Rom. Of course you still do the aroma stuff yourself :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
like i said mate its just a minor problem, i would hardly call it a deal breaker, everything else is spot on

that would be a cracking feature to have.

one other thing, i noticed an option in the miui roms to download mms content while on 2g, what would be the chances of seeing that sort of option on a stock based rom?

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Not sure I can do that, but stylable battery bar is in the works, and I am hoping to add an MIUI style battery bar :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cornishronson:
Hey Keiran

I came across this earlier http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525226 and was wondering if you were thinking of incorpating it into ur next update, or is xperia sound better. I haven't risked this on my play, have you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I think it would clash with xLoud, but I might mix it in.

Nobody quote me for the truth here, but I thought beats audio oonly worked if you were using beats headphones?

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Sorry I didn't mean that to come off as a complaint, just an observation. You do great work, Keiran! Not your fault that Verizon has the R800x so locked down. Thank you for even making the attempt!
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
ok thanks can I update from previous version to 1.0? without back to stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
That's how I did it 3.05 to 3.1 no wipe of system or data

Hi,

i have the same problem :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] ridder215215:
I kept getting FC's on the keypad. I'm using DooMKernel (I believe V11), and I wiped data+cache+dalvik cache. Anyone got a fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
dont wipe anything before flashing. just install over your current rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
Did a fresh installation of .62 wiped data. Same FC and Ph signal problem with 3.1 never tried 3.0.5. I Like the new Sony apps and ui. Using Doomkernel v11.

This looks really good, but after going though some of the posts, I'm unsure of data for the cdma version? Eh since I'm not doing anything I'll try it anyways. I wanna reason to try that aroma installer too. :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
The CDMA version is 3.0.5. It's based off of the UK. ROM. To install it, you need to first return to stock. Then, what worked for me was to clear data, run the Aroma installer and clear data but not system in there. At the end, do not reboot yet. Install the wifi files. I then cleared data once more in CWM. It should boot fine after that. Takes a while to boot the first time so be patient.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AudioCreaper:
Flash DFR3.0.5 then flash DFR3.1.0

Worked for me.

[Xperia Play Android Development] devi59:
Finally

I kept getting no baseband (unknown) and no messaging app like others. I ftf to .42 then flashed 3.0.5 in cwm. then that was ok so then i reinstalled cwm and flashed 3.1.0 and i didnt have the baseband/messaging problem so I'm all good. Try that if you haven't already and were having that issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Hey keiran is there anyway to unlock home from memory. I'm on 3.10 I unselected that in the aroma installer but in the tweaks its selected and I can't change any tweaks as the reboot to change doesn't work properly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
i had that problem but found that overclocking to 1.4ghz sorted it
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Overclock all the time? Or overclock to change? I'm confused sorry :banghead:
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
sorry mate, i realised after i'd posted that i should have explained further. just overclock long enough to change. i usually run 1.2ghz but found that 1.4ghz sped the change up enough to beat the reboot. you can change back to your previous clock speed straight after the reboot

tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Thats my fault...

Will implement 5 second delay next time :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Didn't work ill keep trying
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Working fine and I'm loving it so far, its so smooth! I'd take it that the sony ericson launcher has to modded directly by decompiling it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
it tells, force close after flashing this..

phone network doesn't connect.. what shall i so??
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trooper_Max:
Based on previous posts, it sounds like you first need to have a working stock rom (with data) and flash this over it without wiping data! This really needs to be added to the first post!

It sounds like flashing an ftf firmware (and thus wiping all data), then flashing ClockwordMod and/or custom kernel, followed by booting the phone up to get the data connection working, and then flashing DarkForest ROM over it via the Aroma installer without wiping data should work.

I'm trying this now.

EDIT: I've tried a couple times, but I still can't get this working. I have an AT&T version (R800at) with an unlocked bootloader.

EDIT2: I got 3.0.5 working fine... the notification toggles didn't get setup correctly though, even though I selected the option for them... well at least it works...

[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
hey is it possible to use jokawildrom themes such as ICJWv2 on this rom? themes are proper
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Hey Keiran - Just wanted to tell you, I've been using the CDMA version of this ROM for about a week now, and it's running really well for me. If you do any other CDMA ROMs that need tested, I'd be glad to try them out. I still have a locked BL, but I think I'll be getting it unlocked soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spectre51:
Beautiful....Great looking rom. Got this working on my r800at with locked bootloader with absolutely zero issues.

Flashed to .42 via flashtool, installed rooted and installed cwm, flashed to 3.0.5 without an issue. Everything looked the same UI wise so I went ahead and flashed to 3.1.0 after reinstalling CWM and viola.

Looks great and I'm sure will run great too. Now to reinstall my apps.

One thing I noticed. Initially when I installed 3.0.5 I had two Wisepilot apps and two Crash Bandicoot apps.

For the wisepilot once was installed in System/apps and the other in etc/product/applications (if I remember right)

Safe to say I can remove either one of each of those apps?

For the Crash Bandicoot app one was named com.sony.playstation.ncua94900_1.apk and the other com.sony.playstation.ncea00344_1.apk
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
One app is USA and the other is EU

[Xperia Play Android Development] Spectre51:
Just started having the issue where my market says no connection. Also can't connect to the server in gtalk. Thinking of reflashing unless someone has another idea for me to try. I already deleted the market cache and data and still can't connect. I am connected via wifi and can bring up websites just fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
It seems to me that the issue comes with the validation of Google accounts. Given that every issue we've seen so far is related with Google products, that merits some searching in my opinion.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I wonder if it could be in the ROM though. Because my router and everything was working fine until I put the 3.0.5 ROM on my R800x again tonight, and then it "died", no signal from the modem, etc. I tried rebooting the modem and router, zilch. As soon as I shut my phone off - everything started working again ! :eek::confused:

EDIT:

Or maybe the kernel? I am trying DooMKerneL for CDMA. Is there another I could try besides stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spectre51:
Okay so since I couldn't get talk or the market working (no connection) I reflashed to stock generic NA rom then reflashed to 3.1.0 and now when it boots back up the messaging app is missing. I can see Conversations.apk in /system/app but can't install it. Just says App not installed when I try. Not sure why it isn't being installed by default when I flash the rom.

ANy ideas on that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] gffmac:
Tried installing both 3.1.0 and 3.0.5 on my sons uk xperia play r800i presumed it was gsm as it has a sim card. both end up with sony ericcson logo and not going past that. unlocked the bootloader then rooted phone with Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0] and flashed recovery using cwm auto installer app to install cwm then installed the zip via cwm. I have a desire hd so did a factory reset/wipe as I would normally in cwm. reboot then stuck. I did a nandroid so was able to recover via fastboot boot recovery.img and restore (I had tried booting with power and tapping back or volume down both didnt work)

Any pointers for an xperia play noob? :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Don't use cwm recovery installer, do fast boot boot recovery.img, and then install.

[Xperia Play Android Development] gffmac:
thanks for the info will give it another shot tomorrow!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spectre51:
Never mind...got mine working finally. Had to flash back to the stock AT&T rom, then flash to generic NA 2.3.4, then dark forest 3.0.5 then finally 3.1.0 and things are working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gffmac:
I also flashed 3.0.5 then 3.1.0 which fixed the force closes. There seems to be an issue with the music player crashing when the screen goes off (from what my son said), need to investigate more though, 'dad I want my old rom back I cant listen to my music' he just doesnt appricate the finer things, kids.....

I really need helps guys, I am on .42 with R800at (locked bootloader), I install CWM through the auto installer on the market, flash the rom (3.0.5) and I get stuck at the white SE screen. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to update to .62 first? I read a few pages back a user successfully flashed from stock .42.

I always use .42 as base I'm on 800at as well but unlocked bootloader

Surely it wouldn't matter if I'm unlocked or not since plenty of people have flashed with lb? I suppose I'll bump up to .62 and see if that will prove successful.
