[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
which fix did you flash?

i will start to make a new build (beta 2) with working toucpads and some more tweaks (and ofcourse trying to solve some battery bugs)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Is this the cm touchpad fix or like stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jamesbdx:
The fix in post 2. I am talking about the directional buttons, not the analog pads
[Xperia Play Android Development] IE-coRe:
For me it is very anoying that i cant use animations and that everything is kinda buggy, no real force closes but some apps do not work or hang or are laggy or need half an hour to load... you now what i mean?:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Yes, animations issue is not great, but it's common across the Sony ICS Beta; it affects the Ray/Neo/Arc builds too. Hoping for updated Sony drivers to fix it.

I've got some more speed improvements, just testing them out

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Updated first post with r2 ROM. This contains gamepad fix and Chrome app (so no need to re-download if you are using r1 + fixes)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I'm asking about the touchpads :cool: just curious no big deal
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
The fix in post 2 actually fixes the gamepad not the touchpad...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
ya.. I turned the animations to off.. still.. always my used ram is 240 mb.. in which the home itself uses 40-50 mb of ram.. and google services uses around 20-25... when I run a app, it just freezes..

and will someone have a fix for Bluetooth.. I dont want my phone to be like an iPhone...:-P

and some tweaks are required.. like.. screen rotation should be fast, the display becomes dim for a moment until one touches the notification bar yo make it bright again.. ram optimization.. haha.. list is never ending:-P

atleast, data works for this rom;-)

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

oh wow.. beta 2 is coming.. try to make the file smaller for downloading:-P haha...

here is one pic of my running apps.. I managed to take pic some how...:-P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zacky32:
Does the v4 kernel really have bad battery drain?
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
yup... battery drains too fast even when not using it...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Quick update, I've identified the battery issues (see my battery usage from today). As you may be able to see, it's the wifi drivers/binaries that are causing the battery drain. Here it's entered deep sleep correctly, so I'm now looking at a fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
I knew it was the wifi! Hope you can fix it :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
Try swapping the libs from the alpha, that should work :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
Cant seem to use the aosp theme with the battery mods... One replaces the other...
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
touchpad doesnt work. does it ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ICXPlay:
[ Update ]

New AOSP Lite ROM added to Post #1

You must flash the matching AOSP Lite Kernel or wifi will not work

New Kernel by DooMLoRD (many thanks to him for porting kernel changes) :)

Kernel Changelog: (from doomlord )
[Xperia Play Android Development] pitsyapa:
trying this out now les see how it goes
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
Flashing it now :) thank you
[Xperia Play Android Development] pricey2009:
That aosp lite version will be better for miuiv4 wish I waited a while now, nevermind I will experiment when I'm back :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Is the battery drain fixed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
Flash it and find out lol. So far, really good :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
does it have the sony splash screen?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Unfortunately not. Having the wifi enabled causes the drain (stops deep sleep), so the only cure at the moment is to disable wifi when not needed

Yes :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
Yes it does... Spamming back buttons gets you in CWM
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
So would setting the WiFi to turn off when the screen turns off work?

Or is that a stupid question because the phone don't get the chance to sleep to be able to turn WiFi off?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Unfortunately that doesn't help as it still doesn't enter deep sleep (wifi drivers are still loaded)
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
could you set the default android ICS lockscreen on the aosp lite?? it still uses the sony lockscreen... :confused:

using apps like widget locker drains the battery :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I don't use WiFi, is it worth me installing the new update? I'm already using ICS.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aerox912:
No not really, the update is just beta 1 with all the fixes from post 2 included
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
What's PMSservice.apk? Is that only for women?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Thanks. Just downloaded it, I guess I'll just delete it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
Ha ha ha ha haaaa

Sorry off topic couldn't help my self

If it's the drivers causing the issues could you not just delete them if you don't use WiFi anyway
[Xperia Play Android Development] vechthra:
market icon

My bug is that my market icon disappeared from the launcher. Any help of how can i trun it back.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Gps working, wifi, etc til now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cosvel:
Market now is called Google Play, or Play Store..
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
I'm just confused as to what version of ICS I'm using (it's the one with data working) and what version this is and what the update did. I don't use WiFi so any ROM with WiFi not working doesn't really matter.

I tried to see if this ROM was any different to what I already have and saw the PMS apk thing. Never noticed it before.
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
the xperia keyboard on my play types Q instead of A... i checked if i was just me pressing the wrong button but clearly it displayed that i was pressing A then Q appears on the text... :confused:

BTW: im now using the aosp with the oc kernel... i set my phone to "1.4ghz" with AnTuTu... its working great now... no more fps lags on the games i play... and no crashes... im just curious about one thing? will it break the phone in any way? its not heating up or anything atm... i mean i have experienced phone heat on my sensation xe... that phone gets really hot STOCK....

i dont want to break my play... i really like it compared to other phones in the market right now... its my first time ocing a phone btw...
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
I've oc my play at 1.6 for q good few months with no issues... PersonallyI use no frills CPU simply because if your phone randomly reboots it won't oc just in case

And my a is an a lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
how can i tell if my phone is stable with the clock speed i set??

btw AnTuTu has an option to not set the oc on boot...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Magnumutz:
seagheart89, each CPU is unique, some may have higher frequency stability while others might have lower stability.

Mine is 100% stable @ 1.6GHz.

I've had it like this since day one.
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
i was actually asking how to tell if its stable... does it crash or something if its not??? i set mine to 1.4ghz and it runs smoothly... no random reboots or anything... :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] vemoxy:
Woah, sorry off topic but 1.6GHz always doesn't it drain the battery a lot faster? Which governor you're using?
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
My battery lasts all day oc at 1.6... smartass v2 governor

If it's unstable it will reboot

I meant if you "set on boot" and it reboots it will pop up and check if you want to set it just incase
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
Nice Rom, waitin for working bluetooth ! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] vechthra:
Yep, right after I wrote that post, mine updated.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Boss i found a small issue i dont know if this is only my problem but after i install the ROM R2 the right speaker of my headset is not working.. I dont know but on R1 headset is fully working on R2 only left part is working.. Pls confirm if others has this too.. If not maybe i need to change my headset..

Keep up the good work boss
[Xperia Play Android Development] vechthra:
Same happens to me and every game I try to play ...nothing at all (Fifa12, Bruce Lee, Spiderman, Nova, GTA, etc):mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Considering this rom is still on beta so this is not very stable yet. Lets just wait for the devs to fix the bugs and issues :-).. Thanks for sharing what you've noticed..
[Xperia Play Android Development] cosvel:
The rom is cool, but too much slow ... when you guys make he more smooth will be almost perfect.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ridder215215:
Sorry for the noob question, but why do most ROMs require -64 baseband?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
otherwise data will not work.

but tested it: this one can also be used with: -36 -56 and -64 baseband!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] mauaus:
Thanks for this awesome rom, looking forward for beta 2 and onwards, keeping it nice and smooth at 1.60 stable :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
does the v4 kernel run like the aosp kernel??? will the v4 kernel drain battery even if the wifi is turned off?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
I can confirm the AOSP Lite ROM working awesomely on the R800x.

Keep up the good work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
I thoroughly recommend trying out this new ICS launcher, Apex Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher. Its similar to Nova launcher but with more customization and much smoother! It goes great with both Beta and AOSP Lite!

This will be added as default launcher to AOSP Lite ROM, as well as updating to new Google Play Store
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Can i use v4 kernel on aosp lite?
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
Seems alot better than nova... Btw is there anyway to replace the sony lockscreen with the stock ics one??
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
guys, where is market in aosp rom ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
You need to manually flash the gapps.zip file for google apps including the market...
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
Any difference between the Lite rom and the standard rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
No they are not compible, but the AOSP Lite kernel superseeds the v4 anyway

The lockscreen is part of the Sony framework. The easiest way to get that look is to use MiLocker

Standard is the Official Sony Beta ROM ported over to the Play, with performance tweaks.

The AOSP Lite ROM is based on the standard one, but with AOSP ICS look and Sony standard apps removed
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
So why aosp kernel more good than beta kernel ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Because it has all features mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23372030&postcount=244

Beta ROM will be updated to support this kernel later today
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
So which one is better now ? AOSP or Beta ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Depends on what you classify as 'better', but AOSP Lite should be more streamlined (apps removed so more free RAM by default) and currently has the most feature-rich kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
TWEAK: Increase you app storage from 308MB to 420MB!!!​

Warning: This will erase your userdata partition. It is HIGHLY recommended to do a nandroid backup with CWM "BEFORE" performing this procedure

TUTORIAL:

Follow this method to make your userdata partittion to 420mb

1. boot your phone into CWM

2. Move to "Backup and Restore",then select "Backup"

3. When the backup is done, power phone off

4. Flash the .ftf with flashtool (select wipe cache and userdata)

5. Go into CWM again, select "Backup and Restore" then "Advanced restore", select your last backup then "restore data"

6. Enjoy your extra space

7. To reverse this process just flash the original ftf of your choice (42, 58, 62) and your userdata will return to its original state!

[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Great work on getting the fixes out so quickly, dont know if its just me though but i was able to turn on and use Bluetooth, but then after turning it off i cant get it on again, it says "turning bluetooth on" for a couple of minutes then it stops trying
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Yea that happened here once too. I think you need to leave it on for a while (after turning it on initially) for it to scan. Reboot and it should come back
[Xperia Play Android Development] mauaus:

So which one rom is better ? Whats the difference ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Standard is the Official Sony Beta ROM ported over to the Play, with performance tweaks.

The AOSP Lite ROM is based on the standard one, but with AOSP ICS look and Sony standard apps removed. This should have more free RAM and be smoother, but will not have some of the standard Sony ROM functionality
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
yes but if beta rom works with new kernel. i think beta rom is better. because performance tweaks makes phone better. (i think ^^) Thanks for quick answers :)

(And sorry for bad English)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Yes that's a good way of thinking about it :) Different people will prefer different styles, that's why we made 2 downloads available; so you can choose.
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
is it possible to copy files from one rom to another??? im using the sony beta rom and i want to use the aosp is it possible to just transfer the files from the other rom and save the trouble of reinstalling all apps? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
There is the AOSP theme which you can flash over the Beta ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23145873&postcount=32
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
would that be same as flashing the aosp lite?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
It would give the AOSP look yes. It won't have all the Sony default apps removed though
[Xperia Play Android Development] ~iSamur@i:
i'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but in the lockscreen it is possible to drag the notificarion window and use the notification or going to the settings menu
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
love this rom it does everything i need dice player works on it to now and it plays games except a few the only thing i want for it would be a proper touchpad fix which makes the games enjoyable but im glad the gamepad works but with the touchpads would just be awesomely awesome

Is it me or the AOSP ROM battery life has been bad :\ I always have my phone 100% at night and when I wake up the next morning it discharge until 97% or so but ever since I change to AOSP ROM my battery life has been from 100% to 81% every morning..

battery life not so good... agree wit u...
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
We know there are battery issues but the arc neo ray all have the same problem
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
My recipe for a lighter rom with better battery life:

-Flash the V3 performance kernel.

-Install the full ICS rom from the first post.

-use RootUninstaller to remove bloatware/unwanted apps.

-serve and enjoy :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
i checked the newest kernel have the best battery life (added a few battery savers)

i will look if i can get battery better:)

we have 1gb rom 9we can use 380 normally)

101mb system partition (or something)

and 2mb cache ( or something)

so we have a lot of unused space!

so could we increase the app size even bigger?...

maybe, we need to find a way to do it.

these files are from neo v (or arc s)

that phones have 420 mb data partition.

so if someone find a way to edit the files we can increase it further
