yeah thats the default folder, don't forget to add the 4.0.2.A.0.62 or 4.0.2.A.0.42 FTF files to the firmware folder too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes, thanks for pointing that out, thereverend86. The FTF is the firmware, Flashtool is the program to flash it. He didn't ask about the firmware, so I didn't think to mention it. Sorry about that!

my last phone was an xperia x10. after the crazy debacle that happened with that device (i stuck it out long enough to get official gb) i opted for a nexus s 4g for my current device, and now i am stuck feeling like i did when i first bought my x10 and had to wait for the first ota. i just wanted to let you guys at sony mobile dev department know that my next phone will once again be a sony xperia. you guys have surpassed all my expectations of what an open source mobile community should be! i never expected to see any manufacturer keep such close ties with the open source community before! thank you for setting the bar for others to strive yo be more like you! maybe soon the rest of the manufacturers will see sony was right and they will wake up.

it has auto-rooting, integrated busybox, init.d support, oh and ofcourse recovery :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] johnsongrantr:
I found a program that the touchpads work... but are backwards for up and down

meaning

up=down

down=up

right and left are correct

right = right

left = left

the program is a popular emulator for a late 90's 64 bit game console don't want to name the program with you guys watching this thread and it being a grey market program ;)

however... if you guys can have an option to reverse the orientation of the touchpads on demand it would be very helpful. This is more a app developer problem rather than a Sony problem. But if you could change it on both ends it would be better for user customization.

Other than that, everything working A-OK so far!

Dragon's Lair (Optimized for Xperia Play) - works very well with the Gamepad. Video playback is comparable to GB 2.3.3, or slightly smoother.

Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior (ver. 1.15.26 from 2.3.3 XPlay) - goes black and immediately back to Launcher.

Hows the battery life on ICS and how's the ram memory. Does it run smooth ? especially when gaming ? when you quit the game does it take a long time to load back into Home menu ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] romcio47:
For me:

battery life - awful (heavy draining, battery drained from 75% to 28% in 7 hours of my sleeping - wifi turned off, phone was lying totally idle)

ram memory and CPU - heavily used (only 350 MB of RAM for us, cpu almost evey time at 1GHz)

smoothness - sometimes yes (settings app, other apps), sometimes no (launcher, booting, turning off, launching apps)

smoothness while gaming - acceptable (minecraft PE - quite good, GTA 3 - laggy, pew pew 2 - smooth...)

smoothness while quitting the game - phone sometimes may be very very laggy (sometimes very long lag and poor responisiveness, launcher ANR's (application not responding)...)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gandhar:
beta for other models

when will the beta be released for live with walkman(wt19i)??:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
I think you've done something wrong in the installation steps as no-one else has these issues.

Battery life is great with this ROM, it's the first ICS Play ROM that finally goes into deep sleep mode, so lasts much longer than your quoted 7 hours of sleeping (I got over 16 hours on the first boot with heavy usage)

This is backed up by you saying the CPU is almost always at 1GHz; that means something is running non-stop in the background. Your phone should be in deep sleep 99% of the time when you're not using it.

Smoothness of the launcher is great for me too, best I've seen with an ICS ROM.

What were the exact steps and files you used to install? I'd recommend doing it again, so you get the true ICS experience you should :)

Game name: Asphalt 6

Gamepad: ok

Touchpads: sometimes they get crazy but 80% of the time works ok

Graphics: Sometimes I see the wireframes, other than that, everything works ok.

Sound: Perfect

Sensors: didn't test/n.a.

General performance: same as running in gingerbread, some lags, should be game devs problem.

Game name: Galaxy on Fire 2

Gamepad: don't work

Touchpads: ok

Graphics: ok

Sound: Perfect

Sensors: didn't test

General performance: there's no noticeable impact in the general performance

Wifi and bluetooth needs some system modification to get them working, data at first seems to fail, but eventually it works fine.

Battery life seems average to me.

Everything else works fine.

the sources we have dont contain the updated BCMDHD ICS drivers... so when wifi is active the device doesnt enter deepsleep... but then again this ROM is not supposed to officially have WIFI active ;)

either way i hope sony releases the kernel sources soon for ICS Beta Play... so we can use proper sources for the custom kernel...
