Has anyone else on this ROM been able to download paid apps? i bought droidmote server and when i opened it it says "this app is not licensed please purchase the app" Im not pirating i literally just paid for it on the Play store, this has happened with two or three apps i bought recently and if i click "refund" it says it cannot refund at this time, please try uninstalling later.. which of course takes me over the 15 minute refund threshold
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
Can you still download paid apps you paid for before you installed this? I can download all my paid apps but I havnt paid for any while I've been on this beta
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Yeah, i previously bought Cordy and Minecraft PE while on stock GB, they downloaded and opened without any problems at all, but when i pay for an app on this ROM it downloads fine, but won't run as it tells me it's not licensed

What was your general impression? Works just as well as on 2.3.4

Did the buttons work properly? Yes

Did the touch pads work properly? Yes

Did you experience any lagging? No

Any other feedback? This also works on CM9, so I'm not surprised it works on this also, but nice work on these games, Can you fix the Fifa 12 bug in the final release though? one of my favourites.

Has anyone got Facebook Notifications working??

Its the only thing I am missing now =/
[Xperia Play Android Development] KalleD:
Hi Keiran,

We are working on the open source archives for the Xperia PLAY beta. Expect it to take at least one more week. There are some differences/updates compared to the beta release open source archives, one month earlier for ray/arc S/neo V. Will keep you posted on progress with the archives.

Also a big thanks to you and everyone that are contributing with testing the SW. Really impressed to see such great and massive response.

FYI: Calle Johansson (XDA username: "CarlJohansson"), also in the Sony Developer World team, is following this thread daily to gather your feedback and is putting together a report from your experiences that will be shared with the ICS SW project development team.

Sony - Developer Relations

they have worked for me from the beginning without anything being changed
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Good to know. I hope I am not speaking out of line when I ask that if anyone on the project development team can help in any way with getting CDMA calls and data to work, there are quite a number of us that would be immensely greatful. I realize that's a bit out of the focus of this Beta, but there is a community of users here that constantly feel left out. You have no idea how huge this would be for us, so thank you in advance for anything you are able to do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Right, I can't say how much I appreciate the response and its clear that Sony care for custom development and testing, I mean look at this thread. Currently we are using patched kernel sources from 4.1.C.0.7, but I will update my custom kernel to the newer sources when they become available.

And one more thing, tell the developers that the software is amazing, launcher needs a bit of a smoothen mind :) also, there are new Adreno200 libraries released by qualcomm, you might want to let them know about that too.

All I can really say is that at the moment, I might not have the best device currently out, but I'm glad it is a Sony.

Apart from that, maybe we can get a few proprietary things open sourced? I know its difficult for some things because they use Sony framework.

Another thing too, sorry about all of this, but is there a Java class in the framework that controls touch pad detection?

Thanks,

Keiran

is there anything like a Extended Power Menu for ICS Stock odexed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
You mean a notification power menu? Try Widgetsoid or Notification Toggle
[Xperia Play Android Development] acocalypso:
Extended Power Menu = Shutdown, Reboot, Recovery, Fastboot.

Games seem to work OK but I'm having a lot of other problems:

MediaScanner seems to run excessively, so my phone never really sleeps and my battery is getting hammered

After unmounting SD from my PC it frequently fails to properly remount on the phone or remount AT ALL

cannot find a way to stop the SD automounting when connected to PC

The SD problems are a show stopper for me, the phone normally sits plugged into my PC all day but I can't trust it to work if it mounts.

Also noticing a lot of random slowdowns and lockups with no real rhyme or reason to them. Letting a lot of apps build up in the 'recent apps' list triggered total meltdown though. Somethings borked in the memory management.

Feels like alpha quality rather than a beta release :(

[EDIT] Should also mention its fully loaded, lots of apps, almost all moved to SD, about 60mb free internal space. It really doesn't seem to like pulling that much from SD at startup or when rebuilding the home screen.

Turn off your device, then hold down the Search button then connect the USB, the light on the power button should turn Blue and your in fastboot mode.
[Xperia Play Android Development] seagheart89:
do i need to wipe cache / factory reset before flashing from GB to ICS?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
If you're using the method in this thread's op (which is pretty much the gateway for the others), then wiping won't be necessary. The process of flashing the individual parts will do it themselves.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Ensure you have the fastboot drivers installed too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
Do you know the name of it and ill upload it first thing tomorrow
[Xperia Play Android Development] DevilPaky:
The led is blue I think the drivers are installed because with flashtool the fastboot mode work

Game title: OnLive

What was your general impression? Was unusable but would definitely be useful.

Did the buttons work properly? None of the buttons worked.

Did the touch pads work properly? The left touchpad worked to move around the cursor in the application itself, but not in any of the games it launches.

Did you experience any lagging? No

Any other feedback? It seems like this is more of an issue on OnLives part, not a single button worked. I was hoping to get in to games and change the controls (I tried the trial of ARES) to see if the buttons registered when I went to change mappings. However, that didn't work as while I can move the mouse around using the touch screen, tapping doesn't mouse click and none of the buttons did so either.
[Xperia Play Android Development] johnsongrantr:
well I don't feel so weird about posting emulators because there seems to be a lot of other people doing it.

Game title: N64oid

What was your general impression? Good, shocked (see bottom)

Did the buttons work properly? Yes, all of them

Did the touch pads work properly? No, inverted up/down on both pads

Did you experience any lagging? Nothing out of ordinary

Any other feedback? N64oid used to not support touchpads, but after flashing ICS BETA they seem to magically register touch controls as full analog however backwards.
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Feedback

Game title: Modern Combat 3

What was your general impression? Ok

Did the buttons work properly? Yes

Did the touch pads work properly? Yes, although laggy

Did you experience any lagging? Some - playable (although this is while overclocked to 1.5GHz)

Any other feedback? Touchpads were a bit laggy, not sure if it is the same on 2.3.4 as i hadn't played it before installing ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
it detect my Sd data very slow , it always trying to detect my Sd content ( specially for timescape ) .

[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
This is the kinda thing I am after too, Widgetsoid doesn't give a good clean reboot, and the good old "Reboot Options" by AdamTt obviously wont work now as its a totally different source.

What I'm looking for is this kinda thing.....

Hold power button, Menu pops up with:

Power off

Reboot

Airplane mode

And when u press Reboot, it brings another menu up with:

Reboot

Reboot to Recovery

Reboot to Fastboot

hi Kalle,

thanks for answering that query...

i have another more important query...

have you guys fixed the bootloader issue in the Xperia S? many of us (kernel devs) are waiting for the bootloader bug to be fixed so that we can start some real work on the Xperia S
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Wait for a firmware release, they will fix it :)

I'm having problems installing an up to date version of busy box, using DooMKerneL, of course, but every time I run busybox installer it saw that it hasn't been given root access, even tho I gave it root access when the superuser prompt came up.

I'm trying to use Font Changer (again+) and it says the busybox I gave installed is out of date and not supported :-/

Can anyone help??

Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock) and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pitsyapa:
ye data is ok so far kinda it turns on and stuff also bluetooth fine and the xperia play launcher is der its pretty epic lolz
[Xperia Play Android Development] Michealtbh:
We should be able to hot boot a kernel with cwm and flash gapps to get google services and face unlock working

Adding persist.wifienabled=1 to build.prop should enable wifi
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
For wifi fix try to add

persist.wifienabled=1

In build.prop
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
The only problems I have come by are WiFi and and the search button is more useless then before, it doesnt bring up anything, but bluetooth seems to work fine and everything seems to be much less laggy then the beta rom port

EDIT: Search button does work normally after installing gapps
[Xperia Play Android Development] pitsyapa:
how am i supposed to do that when i cant even turn it on to install everything since it deletes everything when you install it
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Use ADB to install it?

As in Root Explorer.

Well dont flash it or backup your apps.

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Right, here is my little paragraph :)

I love you Sony Mobile, and I always will. We asked for a beta, and you gave us one! True link with the developer community. Best phone manufacturer to support open development.

Kernel sources posted within days, instructions on how to build them, open sourced material that other manufacturers make proprietary, full developer support, boot loader unlock support, ability to push Verizon for kernel sources, WHO DOESNT LOVE SONY?

Next phone will be an Xperia. For definite now.

And, thanks for the release, now for custom roms......

Flashing tomorrow night after school, ASAP!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
This might help.

Boot it via fastboot. Its also the only way to gain root as of now.

I know right, when school is over I'm running home to flash this baby! You must have half term for Easter right?

Sony you have blown the competition away.

I will "play" around with this tomorrow (excuse the pun)

[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
I made sure it was given root by superuser, and it still says it hasn't got root access :-( this is weird. Gonna try a different kernel in a minute, just in case.

I hate to say this but I don't actually know what that means. I'm just running the files that came from the Sony website, with DooMKerneL. If u see any way to add the reboot to this please let me know :-)

This has worked brilliantly since its release but last night and this morning it is lagging horribly to the point im waiting up to 3 minutes for the messaging app to open!

Even typing this is taking an age as the keboard is stuttering, i have only installed about 5 apps and removed a load more the day it was installed with root uninstaller so it cant be low on memory. I am going to reflash it and start again now but could this be a RAM issue after its been installed for a while?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
there is a problem with the SuperUser app on ICS... sometimes it works other times it just doesnt... its really annoying... i am facing same issue even on my HTC One X which has stock ICS ROM..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
My DooMLoRD, once again u come to my aide!!

I guess I'll either keep trying every so often, or give up!

Facebook

On another subject, I'm still not getting any Facebook notifications, the app it's self is running fine, but no notifications.

I've NEVER had the nice thing come up in the top bar, my other half has a Xperia Ray and whenever she gets a notification she gets a icon in the top bar, and by clicking it it goes straight to what it was about :( I've also seen other people with this on their XPlays and its annoying me that for some reason it doesnt work for mine.

Anyone think they know why?? maybe I have frozen or removed something I shouldn't have?? But even on the fully stock ICS I didn't get any =/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
The only thing i can think of is for whatever reason "Inside Xperia" isn't working for you, i just reflashed this ROM and everything (including FB notifications is working) try stopping the app, clearing data then uninstalling it. Download it fresh from the market and login, and you should get a blue FB notification asking you to enable "Inside Xperia" make sure the box for this is ticked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Hey can u try one thing?

Search for SuperSU thread on XDA, its by Chainfire and is superuser replacement... There is a cwm flashable zip... Try it out and let me know...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
I've done that, and it syncs my contacts and calender, but I just don't get any notifications. It really is weird!!

Just downloaded an app from the market for facebook notifications and it works, so I'm gonna just give up on the stock notifications, lol.

On it now :)

Downloaded and installing now ;)

Tried it and still no joy, it's still saying no root access.

Root Explorer is fine, every time, so is SD Maid and Titanium Back-up.

Busybox Free by Stephen (Stericson)

BusyBox Installer by JRummy16

Neither seem to work.

I am also having problems updating SuperSU, it just says unable to update. And when I try to update SuperUser it says "Checking MD5.... FAILED!"

Another thing, after installing SuperSU, Widgetsoid wont reboot the phone =/

Now I'm not getting ANY root rights at all =/

This is getting weirder and weirder!!!!!

does psxperia games will works on finall version ?!

any body knows the SONY's plan ?!
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
After two days with the beta I can say this as a visible improvement in my opinion:

Battery

Camera

Interface in general

To play at 1GHz gets a little complicated in games like Fifa 12, Virtua Tennis. Just run without any lag if I restart the phone before playing.

Anyway, will only be 100% when DOOM release the kernel after the first release from Sony. Unfortunately, we need overclock to our Snapdragon.

I will continue with it for now, I'm enjoying at least I did not find any bugs, just faceunlock not work, but I will not use this ****, bull****.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Fifa works for you? I can't get it to work, Force close on menu.

remove all superuser app updates (from Settings -> Applications) then uninstall SuperSU and then flash the update.zip containing SuperSU

Hello. After updating, my mobile data keeps dropping. Either 3g(HDSPA), EDGE, GPRS.. Tried going back to 2.3.4 and the problem persists... After that, I relocked the bootloader, tested like five or six different ROMS, from 2.3.3 to latest ICS beta releases and still can't seem to keep connected.

PS: I've noticed that the connection drops when a considerable amount of data is used. Also talked with my mobile carrier and they don't seem to find the problem.

PS2: Wi-fi works fine

Can someone please help me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Therev86:
I decompiled the semcmusic.apk but cannot find any reference to the equalizer, i'm going to be away from my computer for the next few days and will only have access to XDA on my mobile, however the Google Music app was posted HERE you may have some luck using Root Uninstaller (or similar) to remove the stock music apk then drop the one in that link into system/app and reboot you should have full music app functionality then
[Xperia Play Android Development] MrMmmkay:
Did i miss something? The Camera is still the same, ok, the App has changed a little bit, but thats just cosmetic. Still no face/smile detection or other features like other Xperias has. I was hoping that Sony gives the Play the same Camera Features like all the other phones :(.

(This is the second time that I give a "thanks" fault of our crappie touch, sorry)

Then I felt it was much faster in the shot, also won the panorama mode.

They know what is the thing that annoys me on Play, our touch. By God, why our touch is so unresponsive? Sometimes typing Swype or even by the standard keyboard with dragging enabled, fail from time to time. It's as if I had released the screen for a few moments, but not did, the touch fails and I have to write the word again. Not only does it fail to typing, scrolling fails sometime too .. Honestly, sometimes I feel like throwing it against the wall. My old Galaxy S has a much better touch, never fails in this way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Quick question to everyone.

Has anyone else noticed this rom forgetting ring tones and notification tones?? I've had it a few times where it has forgotten my tones, and i have missed calls cos i didn;t think it was my phone, lol.
