I did wipe data before flashing, and it did work for me. In the installer, make sure you tell it not to wipe system, but go ahead and wipe data. And make sure you have the GSM tweaks turned off.

When I booted the first time, I had the sony ericsson boot splash, then another sony ericsson boot animation, as opposed to the Verizon. It hung on there for what seemed like a long time, then it finally loaded up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
Good thing I take hour showers. amirite? :p

I'll flash this in just a bit. :D

EDIT: Haha can't be THAT long of a wait.

EDIT2: Found out that Sony Ericsson's Music Player is incompatible with this ROM. I always get a force close when trying to run it, and I keep getting a force close pop-up while the widget is on my homescreen. I'll just flash the Verizon FTF, then install Darkforest, I needed a fresh start anyway, so if you're on a locked bootloader, and you've previously installed the NAND backup for the UK firmware, the music player won't work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
I had that force close problem on mine, too. I had previously been on Cola, and after installing this rom correctly on the second try, I had both the google music player and the sony ericsson music player side-by-side, able to use both equally.

Quite weird, so I suppose the data wiping didn't really fix that problem, huh? I wonder what did?
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Im very happy with it.. no problems at all!!

Great rom, would be my Stock Rom :)

Thank you keiran!
[Xperia Play Android Development] skaroger867:
hmm maybe thats what i did wrong, no one mentioned to un check the gsm tweaks when installing. to bad i cant get cwm to re install.

one day maybe ill re flash the stock rom and try cwm again, but not right now
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
R800a, R800i, R800at, tweaks should be fine. AT&T use a GSM radio in the 4G model.

R800x, tweaks must be disabled - CDMA.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zacky32:
Which kernel should I use to boot this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
DooMKernel :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zacky32:
Thanks! So i got it to boot, and WiFi isn't working, is this normal?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
You need to flash wifi modules from Doomkernel thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:

[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
I love this Rom but my wifi does not work at all I get a error every time I turn it on is there a fix for it? Because I can not download the data of the games with 3g it says I have to with wifi and I can not use wifi so if you guys have some info let me know im running the room for R800x xperia play cdma
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
flash the correct wifi modules (if you have dooms kernel look in his thread 1 post)
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
I have a locked bootloader but I dont have a custom kernel because my bootloader is locked and there's not one for a locked bootloader but I found the stuff I need used for stocked kernel so I will flash that in a few some time in 2 to 3 h from now I guss
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
Ok I flashed it and it did not work at all
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Are you rooted?
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
Yes I am im rooted with recover with locked bootloader but it will not worked and I flashed it 5 times all rady and I dont know what im doing wrong it does not work this sucks big time if I dont get this fixed by the 22ed then im going back to stock till I get my bootloader unlocked
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
What's the specific filename of the zip you are flashing? It should be PLAY-CDMA-3.0.1.A.0.145-stock-modules_CWM.zip
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
Then im flashing the wrong one can you give me the right link and thinks
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
You are cdma so you need to install cdma on first post. Not gsm
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
Im running cdma Rom not the gsm threes no way for me to use my phone if I was using the gsm
[Xperia Play Android Development] RiThBo:
Do the touchpads work like cm7 or stock rom? Looks like an awesome rom so far, just want to check.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Here's the stock wifi modules. Just flash the zip in recovery to fix wifi. This is CDMA only.

All credit to DooMLoRD.

Stock CDMA Wifi Modules
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Sorry I meant wifi modules was half asleep

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Or, you could enter:

Erm. Can you please remove some more bloat? Every time i install a new version, there will be new bloat to remove :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Like what bloat?

You mean NeoReader and such?

Sent from my R800i using DFR3.0.5 NAND + CM7 SELFKANG SD
[Xperia Play Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Hmm...i agree with xRegrets...if you could do this it'll be just awesome!I flash quite a lot times because of tweaking i do causing my device to fail and yesterday i flashed again i removed with rom toolbox about 50 system apps! :$

Yes like neoreader,anonymous usage stats,maps etc...

Hmmm...i have an idea!If it could be possible and if you have time of course Keiran if you could add an option in AROMA installer to select which apps to install or something like that(for advanced users)!

Sorry if i bug you or something just providing feedback and trying to help! :)

I love this rom and i love to see it becoming better and better! :D

(i'd ask you if i could help but i have a loooot of homework because it's my last year and i have final exams on the way soo...you get me...:/ )
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Still not able to use this on the locked bootloader unless I don't wipe /system and data... and then when it boots, what is it really running? Where can I look to confirm the ROM name after boot?

OK never mind, I figured out my error.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I know why now.

Right, locked bootloader is a chargemon mod, the script /system/bin/chargemon is executed on boot :)

it executes a ramdisk (with recovery in it) from /system/recovery.tar -> problem with this is if you format /system, you are wiping out your recovery while installing the ROM, so it wipes everything, but I think recovery stays because of permissions :)

keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
For one thing, this rom has a completely different look than the stock Android, so you should be able to tell. But, if you're not quite sure still, go to Settings>About Phone and at the bottom where it says Build Number, it should end in a .145

If it ends in a .88, it didn't take.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
for people moaning about needing to remove apps again after each update. what I used to do was create my own script that deletes the unwanted apps. so install the update then install your zip. this works well if your always updating.

Fma965 - Forgottencoders.co.uk
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
A batch uninstall takes only a few minutes. Each of us use different apps so who's to say what bloat to remove. I think his time is better spent on things we can't do. Just my opinion
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
Thanks it works good but my 3g is slower with this rom i think when im tethering with the rom im slow when im on stock im faster anyone have the same problem if so any thing im doing wroug?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I believe this rom uses stock libs for baseband. If your on. 62 firmware try 36 baseband or 56 baseband 64 gives some trouble
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
Odd that you would mention the baseband. It may be different for CDMA, but I've noticed that stock has better reception.

Posted from something awesome
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
yep we think the same and ya stock does have better reception but i think i can deal with stock till i get my bootloader unlocked when my taxtes come in they were going to be here the 28th but how its looking now i dont think thats the case no more but i just hope one of the cm7's have good reception but i am hoping for a cm9 soon
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
If I unlocked my bootloader, I'd be waiting for CM9, and hoping for a more complete MIUI. But, at the moment, I'm still hesitant to unlock, simply because of roms like this!

My only problem is when restoring a nandroid of this rom, I keep getting a android.process.acore force close. Anyone else?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AzraelsVoice:
Guys, I seem to have run into a serious problem. I've got an R800AT locked bootloader that's rooted with SuperOneClick. Installed CWM with the Auto Installer app. Did a Nandroid backup, flashed the GSM zip, unchecked format system. It's stuck on the SE logo after the boot animation. I can't boot into recovery, when I plug in the usb and try adb devices it just says "????????? no permissions" Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] dolph8886:
please forgive me if this is misinformed in any way as I am very new to the xperia play/xperias (2 days now).

I have an R800at and the only way I got it to flash with a locked bootloader was to use flashtool and R800a, 4.0.2.A.42/ Root / install cwm for locked bl / flash darkforest 3.0.5 in cwm and uncheck both wipe /system & /data.

Even after remote unlocking bootloader and flashing doomkernel it seemed I had to start with R800a, 4.0.2.A.42 base then flash without wipe on /system & /data / flash wifi drivers and -36 baseband+libs

hope this helps
[Xperia Play Android Development] AzraelsVoice:
Probably just my inexperience with this phone, i was thinking flashtool was for unlocked bootloaders, but that's fastboot. Lots of details to look at
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:

It appears flashtool is no longer up to download. I may have found a version off the forums, but ran into a roadblock when the factory ftf download site is also down. Good lord someone must hate me and my paperweight of a phone today lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] leerpsp:
I also do with this rom some gsm users needs to let us know if they also get that and reading on the forums if you restore a back up of cm7 its still all good not like this one i can till you that
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
You could try wotanserver ... i don't know if they have a R800at firmware, but you could get to a bootable firmware off that then use SEUS to update to latest firmware...
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
here is flashtool link. from official site. http://ul.to/b5w61lia
[Xperia Play Android Development] AzraelsVoice:
worked like a charm! Many thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK, well, I understand why it looked the same to me then. I was using the UK ROM and then loading this, and both are .145.

[HTC Sensation] yourmom2161:
For some strange reason my Sensation 4g running ARHD won't charge. This started 2 days ago when I noticed that charging it overnight did nothing. Before then it was fine.

When I plug it in, the light at the top lights up. My computer recognizes the phone as well. Right now it's sitting at 10% charge, so it's going to die soon. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Tried different cables to charge it with?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
you can try cutting the micro usb side and put the black cable in the - and the red one on the +
[HTC Sensation] yourmom2161:
I have not, since I don't have another cable. Like I said, it charged fine 2 days ago.

Edit: Now it auto shut off after the battery died. I plugged it back in, turned it on and it stays on. What on earth is going on?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
If you can get hold of one that's what I would try first.

With my HTC Hero the phone stopped charging one day after charging okay previously and it turned out it was just the cable.

If you have a Kindle, digital camera or another phone it's likely you'll have a compatible cable.
[HTC Sensation] htc fan89:
It doesn't charge when plug to your computer?
[HTC Sensation] yourmom2161:
Alright guys, tried a different cable and now it charges fine. Makes absolutely no sense that a USB cable would just randomly stop working though.

Thanks for all the help!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
no it doesn't, but it is a common problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
And then wait for them to find some huge flaw in the Note the day it ships to us. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I think it will be a solid phone. Promised myself after the captivate to NEVER buy a phone without reviews or waiting a week or so. I broke that with the skyrocket because I was in San Antonio on launch day and it was $150 there versus $250 in Dallas. Since I am buying off contract I must be patient...I keep telling myself. It is great to see the enthusiasm for the GNote!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Just curious, what did you regret about the Captivate... the GPS? Other than that, I haven't found much wrong with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
It was the GPS. I fiddled with it for 3.5 weeks before returning. Trying the GPS fixes etc. I was so disappointed in Samsung. Never could get it to work well enough for me. That is one thing I check now! The other is the bluetooth.

Yes, you are right about everything...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ztrindberg:
Hello one question.

If I unlock bootloader will then phone make a factory reset?

And after flash kernel, can I lock bootloader again and keep root?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bbooff:
I am not sure about the factory reset.(I have never tried it)

After flashing kernel, you can relock the bootloader,and keep root.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ztrindberg:
Ok I can answer myself....Unlocking does a facotry reset......fun....

Nice logo in the boot, where does it come from?

How to Unlock Boot Loader ? an are there any Pro's & Con's of Locking-Unlocking It ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ameer1234567890:
You risk voiding your warranty by unlocking bootloader. However, it can be relocked again. Also, you can't do OTA updates of stock ROM with an unlocked bootloader. It will brick your phone, which can be fixed (again)!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] VortexDK:
hey there and thanks for the great kernel.

I was able to flash the bootmk16i.img without any problem, and I am able to enter CWM, but I'm unsure of my root privileges.

SU Checker, gives: su declined

and titanium backup also came up with a message about incorrect privileges and asked to fix it, I accepted the fix and rebooted, no more bugging from Titanium, but SU Checker, still gives: su declined.

can anyone explain this behavior ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinbui:
This problem has annoyed me for way to long, so i'll pay $50 USD to anyone who can help me.

No matter what i do, i cannot get screen/auto rotation to work properly on any ICS rom. It will stay portrait mode no matter what. Auto-rotation works fine on any Froyo/Gingerbread rom i use. Flashed every ICS rom available. I've tried the following:

1. Turning on auto-rotation in Settings>Display

2. Toggling auto-rotate in Settings>Display while the phone is turned landscape

3. Toggling notification widget orientation icon

4. Reflashing/Wiping everything/flashing and wiping (don't get me started)

The only app that actually rotates for me is Camera.

Accelerometer Values app from market tells me everything is fine.
