issit possible to install More space for Apps by moving dalvik-cache to /cache? so that more apps can be installed.

Ahhh bombardment of questions lol

First of all, unfortunately there seems to be no way of restoring layout.

And I am going to add zip align at boot, that will save you a few MB's of storage.

I don't think a toggle would be possible...

Its something that is configured in the device overlay when Sony built the rom from source, and we have to hack framework to get it to work.

Ah this phone hates me... now installing or backing up from inside the app isn't working... ****

No, I had the same issue on gb, maybe someone could remove the mic driver or something? :P, its the Mic, I've pressed the mic button while connecting them and held it down and music plays pretty well, once I let it go I get Accessory not supported, I think I'm going to find some super glue :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Ah right, will remove the mic driver :)

Instead I will implement the new CRAZE!!!!

Darkforest Morse v2.203739303.930.30!

Now, when some one calls you, you answer then press the menu button, and a bleep is heard on the other end of the call everytime you press it.

It has a bug though, when you record videos all you can hear is a loud beep

I think you might need the mic driver, super glue would be the best option :)

Titanium backup getting force close. And I can't download it from market. It says "no memory". But I'm sure I have a lot of memory. How can I fix this problem?
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Just flashed Darkforest kernel. CPU set to smartassv2. Working very nicely.

I noticed something though. My media player app, Daroon Player, doesn't wanna let me use hardware decode for MKV's now, which it did with the advanced stock kernel. However, software decode is smoother now than when using the other kernel. Is it related to Adreno drivers?

not sure of this is the right place but video recording doesnt work on your darkforest v6 kernel, so it tested on doomlords advanced stock and it works. im in two minds on what kernel to use. on darkforest ics v6 i can get smartassv2 governor, overclocking, link2sd, but on advances stock its more stable and i get video recordinig, deep sleep, no graphics problems, but no overclocking etc

Hi, I have some questions about this rom.

I actually don't have an xperia play, I have an HTC desire Z where cwm recovery and such work perfectly (I'm doing this for a friend who does have an xperia play). I don't really understand how we are supposed to flash the .zip without recovery... Could anybody help me on this one? +if kernel is not included in this, which should I flash (and how? Via fastboot?)

Almost forgot to ask, what works and does not in this rom?

(ps: I did already unlock his bootloader a long time ago and I want to become a dev so I am familliar with fastboot and command prompt etc.)
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
You flash The official beta first then flash a kernel with recovery and flash the zip.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CedricAnne97:
I got that, but what kernel should I flash (+ is there a way I can back up the device if something goes wrong - before flashing a recovery?)
[Xperia Play Android Development] xRegrets:
You can't do a nandroid backup without a recovery. Try advanced stock ICS kernel or DooMKernel for ICS beta. If anything goes wrong, just reflash using flashtool with a ftf file.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffbud98:
Delete please
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffbud98:
Dude what kernel and baseband do u or any other AT&T user has
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
For anyone with video playback problems, I have updated my kernel a lot and have added some more goodies :)

Go check it out :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Going to get my apktool fixed, then let the real modding begin.

And just thought I would let you know, there is now a set on boot option in my app, and it works, it isn't like other apps where they change it when the app is opened, it is an init.d script that is ran and it sets the settings you wanted :)

Anything else while I am at it? :D

Other than that this ROM is AMAZING.

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Okay. So I have got apktool to work properly.

This calls for some major theming and some stuff.

Everyone who is using this, I want feedback and bug reports :)

First of all, I want what you feel when you turn on your phone, do you feel very bad spikes of lag, or do you feel like the UI is fresh and smooth?

Next, I want to know what you think of the visuals of the rom, and how it could be improved.

After that, I want you to tell me what your phones performance is like while using this rom.

Mention what kernel you are using too please :)

For bug reports just post them, I know I have one:

In call dialer and dialer on emergency call has its buttons in the wrong place, I am working on a fix.

Its an issue for me too, because I'm using this rom, so I will fix all bugs if I can :)

I don't want to release it obviously as this is for my own personal use but I cant seem the find the .apk when the ROM zip has been extracted, any help? Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Crap. Went to unlock the phone from screen off, my screen showed multicolor snow. Rebooted, happened again 10 minutes later. CPU wasn't overclocked, so I know that wasn't the issue. Minimum clock was set to 122 though. Also, it happened not long after enabling gpu ui rendering.

Kinda scared there might be cpu/gpu damage. In my clock experimentation I never went above 1.2 ghz though. :/

also to the above poster, it's called trebuchet.

Edit: forgot to mention I had bad blocks in my system partition when I flashed the beta. Possibly also in user data, but not kernel for sure.

I think it's the GPU UI rendering at fault. I highly doubt you damaged your CPU/GPU.

When it was enabled before I didn't have problems though. Only after re-enabling and rebooting this time. Anyway, I restored system and boot with a nandroid. We'll see how it goes for now

[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
K. Got multicolor snow again, but this time after pressing the power button twice it unlocked fine when the other times it froze.. And I'm now posting about it immediately after.

I think I might just go back to gingerbread until the bugs are worked out. This is my main device and I can't afford to miss calls because of this. It sucks cause I really like this ROM.

If it keeps happening with stock gingerbread I'll have to relock the bootloader and send it in for repair.. Which would be super lame since I scored a free unlock a few days ago.. money is tighter than when I bought the phone and I can't afford to get it done again :|

Edit: happened yet again. Trying without gpu rendering now.

Edit again: turning off rendering didn't work, still happened and the phone froze completely. After trying a battery pull and reboot, it loaded into recovery by itself, wtf?!

Restored a nandroid completely and now it's fine.

I had tried using a CPU app during that time, which is gone after restoring. Hmm.

Try disabling each data or turning on flight mode. If that doesn't work,remove the battery and SIM card and wait a while. Then turn it back on and it should be connected.

Worked for me.

[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Ok I got it figured out! Incredicontrol CPU app was the problem. This kernel clearly does NOT like it.

Edit: Or not. Uninstalled and it happened again. Trying a reboot ffs..
