[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Awesome!

Will definitively use as my daily driver :D

CDMA Variant will be awesome as well
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Definitely looking forward to this! :)

Me and nick have been keeping an eye on the Arc/Ray KA builds for a while and have a half-working Play port. Getting an official KA ROM will be a good boost for the Play community!

This should be awesome, thanks krabappel2548 :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Motawa88:
how long do we have to wait? :D

it would be great if you could include the pspocket/emulator in your rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, first test version is ready :D

I'll try to push it into a system.img file so you guys can try it before a kernel with CWM comes out ;)

Thanks :) I knew that you guys were watching my rom ;)

Right now, the first thing to do is get my rom nice and stable on the Xperia Play like on the Neo & Neo V, Arc & Arc S and Ray ;)

Then I'll add things and update the rom :D

I don't think you guys need to wait long anymore, I'm going to push the files into a system.img in a moment ;)

Then only thing I need to do is upload it :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Motawa88:
but we are not talking about 1 or 2 hours arent we? :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Depends on the upload speed ;)

I'm almost done with pushing the files to a system.img :D

But the problem with installing a rom with this method is that the system.img can't be larger then a specific size, and I don't know what the size is for Xperia Play ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Are there plans for a CDMA variant? I would love to have this on my R800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
It has the same filesystem structure as Arc/Ray:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 172.0M 76.0K 171.9M 4096
/system 312.5M 266.9M 45.6M 4096
/data 420.0M 83.1M 336.9M 4096
/cache 101.5M 53.0M 48.5M 4096
/mnt/sdcard 14.7G 13.5G 1.2G 4096
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
This is my first development on Xperia Play, so I'll have to search some more info about the differences between R800i and R800x ;)

Ok :) Thanks :D

Almost ready with system.img :) I can begin upload in 5min I think :D

But the big question is: Will the rom work??
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Can this be flashed using a different kernel?

Got no access to my laptop for a while and Id really like to try this out

Using the FXP kernel at the moment
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcsnider:
Sounds good. Referring to the FreeXperia project, I believe the user chevyowner was able to create a CDMA variant rather quickly by updating the network libraries. I am experienced in programming as in VB and C# but I am still a noob when it comes to roms and kernels so it may simply be best to just ignore me :D.

Either way, this project looks very good! Keep up the great work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
ICS beta kernel will be required ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] stewart1988:
That's not stock partitions right? You have 420mb data. Stock is 380mb.. You used the 40mb extra flash file right :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Doesn't matter :p I only needed to know the size of /system partition ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] stewart1988:
Oh ok cool. I wasn't sure where the 40mb extra comes from (thought maybe trimming each partition to add more to data) so thought it might make a difference.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Turns out Im using DarkForest kernel :S

Guess this means I gotta wait then?
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
hows the battery life on that
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
I can't get that Doomkernel.

The download page from ICXperia just shows garbled text
[Xperia Play Android Development] mockabv:
it doesn't appear at the display settings , no picture and video improvement for me:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
Same with me it doesn't appear the bravia option
[Xperia Play Android Development] sufy1000:
How come Ice Cream sandwich doesn't come with the Bravia Engine for the Xperia Play ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
because Bravia Engine was only meant for Sony's flagship device like Arc. Long story short it's a marketing scheme.

Anyway thanks to our devs over here we could enjoy the original bravia engine tweak on our XPlay. =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, I'll try to add bravia engine later again ;) I'm not home so no time to do it ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] giorgoskxf:
I understand but in other custom roms and themes in gb there was included bravia and it just woked perfect...in features of this rom includes bravia engine thats why i reported that i didnt find it in display menu
[Xperia Play Android Development] sechko:
for bravia engine use this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246402

works perfectly ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Ok so sorry if I sound stupid, but I thought there was an ICS Beta already out for our xperia play. Why is everyone saying they just released the official beta 3/30?? I know Alpha was a port & beta had no data until (Great) xda members fixed data so what is this newer beta?

Ios suckkss.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
It is the official beta from Sony. Which is more compatible with the Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, that's the theory, anyway! :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
i get a strang bug with the clock? its showing %-l:%3%^p instead of a time? any ideas
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
Go to Date & time in settings and tick the Use 24-hour format setting.
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Is this rom better than ics stock beta ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
Nobody can tell you if one rom is better than another as everyone has different preferences. Try both out and see which one you prefer instead of asking this in every single rom thread. Just try them out, you have nothing to lose
[Xperia Play Android Development] mockabv:
i personaly think it is , because this custom rom have lots of improvements , you can see them on the first page:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] illuminerdi:
Does this not yet have OC enabled? I installed No Frills CPU Control and it won't let me overclock, so I'm assuming this Kernel doesn't yet support it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
You can OC with doomkernel or darkforest kernel for ICS, I tried both and it worked fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
dont know why this is happening but wen i frst installed the rom everything was good then i tried fxp114. then i came back to this rom tried to use link2sd but every app i try to link gives me an "read only system file" error

any help on this?:

\\Edit: stupid i just 4got to move busybox from xbin to bin
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Busybody has to be in bin? Maybe that's the trouble I was having thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
No, it's better to have it in xbin, he may have just had his previous version already in bin
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
I assume that I can just dowload V.2 to install? Or do we need to install v.1 and then v.2 plus the v.2 fix and kernel package?

And-jacklebott I see you are on AT&T. How is the reception and Data working with this kernel/Rom? Do you get 3G or H+?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I'm on Att in new York. On -56bb 3-4 bars with H

Is there a fix for the clock other than setting it to 24hr?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jimmyvau:
I was using the official sony beta earlier and the clock on it was just fine. I'm wondering if 4.0.4 fixed that issue
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Isn't this built on official Sony beta?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
u rite but y do i keep gettin errors wen using link2sd? i just thought rearranging busybox would do sumtin but naw.

mabe if i try remounting sd-ext...........
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
Did you select the correct EXT mount option? It's what Link2SD asks on first start-up
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Link2sd wouldn't work for me on official Sony Tom but this it installed perfect. Also titanium backup wouldn't work either.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
im using FAT32 that i always use in success which is 1 of the EXT options. i kno how to use link2sd but i dont think it works wit ics 4.0? or mabe i should use a different EXT like EXT2?
[Xperia Play Android Development] kakatoori:
When is the next update coming? Today is Sunday,,,hmmm:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] krabappel2548:
I use ext 4 on my Neo and it's working great :)

But I'm still out of town ;) I think next update will be on monday :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
I hope my Ext 4 partition will work with link2sd on this Rom. Does anyone have their sd setup this way?

Ios suckkss.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sechko:
I'm using EXT3 and working great...
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
Using EXT3 With doomkernel, working perfect too (:
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
Can you please update the theme and apps to all Xperia S style? All the widgets seems old music, weather, clocks, etc. Same with some other Sony apps. And it crashes when I set the Sony's cosmic live wallpaper.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
I cant seem to get this to work since I'm really confused at the instructions at the 1st page

can somebody have it in detail for me?

im on .62 firmware and baseband to start.

I downloaded the files at the 1st post, the KA11 version 1 and the fix

i downloaded the kernel package, extracted the zip file

i pressed search button and connected the phone into fastboot mode (blue light)

I flashed the boot image (stock kernel) and boot CWM(darkforest)

on CWM, I installed KA11 version 1 and fix

now im on long boot (XPERIA logo)

how long does it take?

Anyway do I need to flash the original beta images from sony website BEFORE I flash this K11 ROM? Or no need?

this is the most confusing part: (in bold) , do you mean ROM of Sony or only the KERNEL included in your download package???

==Installation instructions==

Important! Only for unlocked bootloader

Sony recommended to flash the ICS rom only if you are on .62 firmware with .64 baseband, but in Neo and Arc forum there are users with other basebands and a working rom (with minor problems mostly)

Since this is first release and for testing purpose only, I'm not going to explain complete installation instructions.

- Copy KA11_Ice_Cream_Sony_Play.zip to the root of your sd-card

- First download the kernel package with a custom CWM kernel and fastboot files

- Extract this and open the directory

- Open command prompt in the same window (Right mouse + Shift) and type:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img => Flash the ICS beta rom

Fastboot boot CWM.img =>boot into darkforest ICS kernel for CWM

- Your phone will boot the custom kernel. Press volume down to enter recovery

- Flash zip from sdcard and flash the rom

- Turn your phone off

- Turn it back on, and the rom should boot now
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
What I did was

1. Flash .62

2. Flash doomlord's ICS kernel (Using flashtool's fastboot toolbox)

3. Go into CWM and installed the rom(Ka11 v2)

4. Wipe cache(Just in case :p)

Then I reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
ok im going to download version 2 and check it out thanks man;)

Edit 1:

Did exactly above instruction and im now on xperia boot logo.. how long does it take?

Edit 2:

Damn, It rebooted again.. is this normal or I am on boot loop already?

Edit 3:

Reboots until Xperia Logo only, then reboot again.

What do i do!???
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
Hmm, did you try to remove your battery and try booting it again?

If not try to wipe in CWM and reinstall, if that doesn't work, I don't know how to help you already :confused: :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
When you mean wipe, you mean the Wipe Cache Partition option or Im going to do a full factory reset?

Edit:

Ok I did both and it booted

Thanks a lot man!
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
No prob man :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
It might be overkill but I have always wiped cache and factory reset, wiped dalvik cache, then I go to mounts and format cache data system between installing a new rom or restoring a nandroid. I have found if doing that unless I flashed a rom not compatible with my phone I never have any issues... oh and after formatting all three I do a factory reset one more time. Then I flash the new rom or restore my nandroid. Again might seem overkill but this process seems to work well for me. Just my 2 cents.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
ya it luks like EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 is working cuz im using EXT2 and it works like a charm but others said EXT3 and EXT4 use any of the 3 as they seem to be working

best game of all not working!!!!!! modern combat 3 come bak to meeeeeeeeee

testing shadowgun
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Graphic glitch on asphalt6.. An update on driver on the graphics i guess? Gta 3 freezes in few seconds and need to remove the battery to restart.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Cant you use the new updated Adreno ICS Drivers that were released on the other thread? And if so how would it be done?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I was just going to ask the same question. Advanced kernel by doomlord has less graphic glitches than his doomkernel but no oc :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Sorry if this was already asked but does anyone get FC on Browser?? Everytime I press area for URL to put in website it FC's. Im using DoomKernel with OC for ICS Beta(of Course). Is Darkforest better for this Rom?

Edit** I messed up and flashed V.2 Fix after V.2 as OP said NOT to do.lol. This may be the problem so I will reflash.
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
See those lines? Skid marks are also lines.. Just wondering.. :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Which game is it bro ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
How did you keep .56 Baseband? Can you tell me what you did? Did you stay on .42 FW before flashing this ROM? I thought we had to use ICS kernel(I.E DoomKernel ICS Or Darkforest ICS). I flashed to .62 which gave me the -64 Baseband and then fastbooted Doomkernel ICS which must be -64 baseband also.

And has anyone else gotten the FC's on Browser??
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Asphalt6 HD

And also does anyone also has a problem on video recording? Because im having issue with it.. When i try to stop the recording it will not save it.. I only got this error 'camera has stopped working' :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
With flashtool if you look at the checkmarks you can exclude baseband, kernel, and other stuff. I am on 42 firmware. On Sony's site it said 42. I also tried 62 with 56 bb but 42 seems to cooperate with ics better on my 800at. Also advanced kernel by doomlord seems to run smoother than darkforest kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Just tried it seems to work for me. I'm on v2 if it matters. I did have mc3 from market lock up during game till it rebooted. Also drawsomething free lost screen during the game till I force closed the app
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
I am also in V2 also applied the v2 fix..
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
What did flashing v2 fix do for you? I havnt flashed it yet as it stated not to flash fix v2 on Rom v2. Love the Rom nice work.... I can't get facelock to work and titanium back won't restore apps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] imkentoy:
Facelock from doomlord works for me. I just flashed the v2 fix just to fix the usb issue.. It works thou. Titanium works for me as well.. Video recording and graphics glitch is my issue now..
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
This happened to me with Sony official ics beta. I was trying to figure out what is causing this with different flashes. What was your prior rom? What type of play do you have? I was on 62 firmware jokawild v2 prior to ics then I came to this rom v2 and all problems I had went away. Although between this rom and ics I restored to a nandroid backup of 42 stock
[Xperia Play Android Development] hayabusa08:
Cn the dev pls respond to the time glitch? Or at least acknowledge it. I have been reading 24 pages and no respond to it. Setting it to 24hr doesnt solve the issue as its not showing 2400 hrs mode. This is not a fix but an alternative. I wanted it to hide the am and pm. Other than that its a great rom.

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
My problem is the messaging app.. Keeps on hanging and not responding.. or is it like this while I'm at sync?
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Yes it is still a problem for me too. If you simply switch the time setting you will fix the time in statusbar ,but you will still have the 24 hr setting in widgets,touchscreen, & other apps. I wonder how we can fix this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
I'm on 62 firmware and I also came from jokawild v2. I also did a full wipe and cache. Then installed this Rom. I have R800i and still can't work it out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Maybe we aren't getting a full wipe after removing the jokawild rom. I would try formatting system and all data under advanced in cwm
[Xperia Play Android Development] danieljamie:
On the first post there is a link to the github bug reporting.. from what I can see, nobody has been entering bugs on there. That will be easier than the dev trying to read every post in this thread (and the other phones he develops for)...

The time glitch fixed for me when I changed to 24 hours, works well enough for me now..

I have no issues with Titanium Backup restoring apps, or the video camera..

Also, everyone, when posting your bugs on here, please state your phone, whether you used v1 or v2, any fixes you applied, and which firmware you came from and how you upgraded to this one... Surely this well also help the dev figure out the issues..

By the way mine is R800i, -64 baseband, came from the ICX Beta 1.0 by following instructions on the first post. Now using doomkernel to overclock, running 1.7GHZ fine performance mode fine :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
I'll try it again and see what happends this time round. I always do the advanced wipe but for some reason I didn't.

Edit... Tried with factory reset and advanced wipe then flash Rom. But still facelook and titanium restore don't work for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hayabusa08:
Ppl should stop using the word "fix" since nothing is fixed about the time issue. Am and pm is not a 24hr format by any means. Its an alternative.....

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play Android Development] danieljamie:
This is true, it is not fixed, but still, having the time there is better than $£"%£$"£$%$£$ symbols...

I'm just glad data, wifi and camera works and the phone is quite responsive and very usable as a Beta firmware...
[Xperia Play Android Development] ttiimm:
by flashing thommassfca's AOSP theme over the top of this rom (v2) it fixes the %&@_& symbols when not using 24 hrs in date and time
[Xperia Play Android Development] danieljamie:
Can you download this now from his Box account?

Last I checked, the account had ran out of Bandwidth?

I'd be interested in obtaining this theme?
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
he uploaded it to 4shared
[Xperia Play Android Development] mathacer:
try to change 720p to 480p...

it's work perfect
[Xperia Play Android Development] danieljamie:
Please link me. All I see are Box.com links? Where have you found this?

[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Seriously I want to help with any bugs in this Rom, but I'm too busy enjoying it :) . JP. Other than the time format and browser FC'ing this Rom seems perfectly stable. One other thing is the data dropped off unexpectedly twice, but I put in & out of flight mode & it came back(strange). But that may be carrier issue, not Rom. I also have the messaging lag when in messages. I've been on .62 FW/-64 BB with DoomKernel and v.2 of this ROM. I will try what "hitman" suggested & go back to .42 FW/-56 BB & DoomKernel ICS beta to check for better stability. But seriously Thank you for this Rom. This is some great work!!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
I'm now on 42 and doomlords ics kernel and titanium restore works now but still facelock won't work. Has any one done anything different to get facelock to work?

But the Rom is awesome.
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
I downloaded the GAPPS + Faceunlock zip and it is working for me ;)
