Is it just me or ..... everytime a finish recording a video, the camera closes & android says 'an unexpected error occured'
[Xperia Play Android Development] ttiimm:
are you using darkforest kernel? because 720p video recording (default setting) doesnt work on that kernel, only 480p does, try setting video quality in camera settings, but i can confirm that 720p video recording works on stock kernel and doomlord's advanced stock.
[Xperia Play Android Development] danieljamie:
I'm on DoomLord kernel (not advanced stock, but the ICS one..)

Camera crashes when doing HD video...

[Xperia Play Android Development] Aesed:
My phone keeps rebooting whenever I close the gamepad? My battery is also very erratic and doesn't last very long. Anyone else having these issues?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Evidently so, i have it working myself.

How about you read through the thread and find out?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
My science teacher is a b*tch, seriously, she give me seven mock papers. Seven.

Anyway, several updates:

Set on boot in CPU Settings in app (kernel requires init.d support, use any custom ics kernel)

On-screen buttons patch

Rotation in lockscreen

New look notification toggles

Ability to disable rotation animations.

Darkforest app rom functionality fixed.

init.d tweaks

New boot animation (making one, I will probably make it very bad on purpose so someone kindly makes a new one :P)

Ermmm.....

I'm determined to fix existing bugs

Also working on another project, not telling :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I hope its dual boot cause I hate going back and forth from cm9 to dfr4 :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Cool:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No, not possible due to kernel differences. Well, at the moment anyway.

I'm making my own MIUIv4 ROM, because I recently fell in love with MIUI again :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I'm using cm9 with advances stock kernel when I need to I flash dfr4 with the same kernel if that makes a difference ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
How about the CDMA patch from KA12 :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Aesed:
So one other person reported their phone crashing when going to sleep in landscape mode.. And that is what is happening to me. I couldn't find a fix in the thread though...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Turney:
Hello there!

Just installed your ROM yesterday, and it's working very well as of now, god work, thanks!

The only problem I got so far is the Darkforest app not being installed correctly as it seems. It has no icon and always force closes as soon as I tap anything inside the app.

Could you provide the app as an APK for me to reinstall it or is there any other way to get it working again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
What kernel are you using?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Turney:
I am using the Advanced Stock Rom as suggested in the first post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
Hope you'll support this ROM all the way! Very much appreciate your work ^^ oh and I'm having issues with CM Music ever since. Keeps force closing and stops in between playback. Is the app supposed to behave this way? Always getting this "Unfortunately, Music has stopped", especially when I try press on the "Sound Effects" option. Also I'm using the ICS Kernel that you provided here
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
sound effects option doesn't work, and I am working on several fixes :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
Ahh no wonder. As I mentioned earlier, it does stop suddenly during playback. Is it expected to happen though? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Is this when your phone is turned over/moved? There is an option in the music settings for that feature.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
Oh I see. I guess I overlooked that. Thanks for mentioning it.

EDIT:Well it still ends up force closing when I'm using the app somehow.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No bother, I think I had the same issue.

Anyone experiencing force closes on DFR app, either flash darkforest ICS kernel or ask your kernel developer to export available frequencies at /sys
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
I've experienced a lot of force closes and I use Darkforest Kernel v7
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I think I know why that's happening, and I think I have fixed it :)

Anyway, going to try and push for an update tomorrow, and also looking to iron out the bugs that are left.

What do you think of the new recent apps style?:

Its like the WP7 one but without blue background :) also making new icons for notification toggles :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Not sure which one to use..this or KA12 Sony ? ._.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Looks awesome man... Nice work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Try them both, I can't say I have tried KA12 myself, and neither the KA12 developer use darkforest, and I don't personally believe that there is a 'best' rom, it is personal preference.

Ive seen KA12 change log, and its clear the dev has much more time on his hands, so try his first, if you don't like it, then try mine :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ShahinTehShiz:
Was just wondering, I'm on KA12 at the moment, but would like to try Darkforest - Would I need to flash the beta as base still or can I now just flash Darkforest?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421978
[Xperia Play Android Development] ShahinTehShiz:
From what I can gather (I tried this yesterday too), you can't, since thats the wrong advanced stock, and that one isn't for ICS Beta ROMs.

Here's the one you should be after:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572886

Hope this helps ! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Nope, JetDroid, I was part of the JetDroid team at one point. And JetDroid originally started at my forum, http://darkforestgroup.com :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ttiimm:
dont know whether this is the rom or kernel problem, but i cant mount ext4 in link2sd, i can only mount ext2 and ext3. using doomlords advanced stock kernel.

BTW keiran, any plans to supercharge this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No I don't have any plans to supercharge. I've used it before, and it didn't do anything noticeable.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ttiimm:
oh, its just that sometimes i get 'trebuchet is not responding would you like to close it' and i read that supercharging removes this issue with a hard to kill launcher
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Its easy enough to supercharge give it a try ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
This reboots sometimes. I think it is related to going the screen lock coming on in landscape.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
Another thing that I have found is that there seems to be a problem with circle button on some things. It does not work on samurai vengeance and acts as back button on n64oid. Not sure if this is rom or apk.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Dialer is almost fixed, in call and emergency call :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffbud98:
yea that dialer problem is a pain. Thanks kerian
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Good idea.

Will see if I can rustle up a little something for the winner/s ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
why not a PlayStation sign for boot animation hmm or just a awesome Sony sign
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Xperia bootanimation is good enough, just I want the bootanimation to be different from stock. A static image would be fine even :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
This is one to wait for :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
@Keiran - FYI: if this is based off Sony Beta, CDMA users are experiencing bugs with phone still, so until we fix that, I don't think any CDMA support should be encouraged (unless you can figure out why SemcPhone.apk hates us so) :p

[Xperia Play Android Development] hydrogenman:

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No ETA's, sorry.

Anyway, this new functionality I was talking about:

HUGE thanks to pvyParts of TEAM Devs for providing guidance for implementing this feature.

The feature is seen in CyanogenMod, and I actually did a port of the CM screen to get it to work without external preference screen from xml.

You still need to grant "system" root permissions because the rom is not a user debug build, meaning even system apps don't get root permissions without executing su, I can use private API, but there is no API for setting CPU frequency.

How did I do? Going to add an IO Scheduler option soon :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffbud98:

[Xperia Play Android Development] SirRudolph:
Great rom, Best ICS out there in my opinion.

Heres my feedback;

+positive+

Trebutchet is a great launcher

MMS works

Face Unlock Works

Smooth operation overall.

-negative-

When you click contact pictures in the messaging app, it appears something opens. But nothing appears, and you cant click anything, but you can press the back button and normal operation resumes.

Im sure this is out of the developers control; But the graphical glitches, like in asphalt 6, The textures that appear when you use the boost are wireframes, as well as some of the other, textures in the game.

Edit: Oh, and I cant move off the first tab in the DarkForest Application.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ttiimm:
The app crashes because of the kernel, something to do with the cpu, im pretty sure you're on doomlords advanced stock kernel right? well im on that kernel too and it doesnt work but im 100% sure it works on darkforest kernel for ics because i tried it. The only reason i returned to doomlord's stock kernel is because there were less glitches, deep sleep didnt work on darkforest kernel and video recording works on doomlords advanced stock kernel

I'm encountering a lot of random reboots recently, most of the time when (opening)/closing the slider. Is this a general ROM problem or a Kernel related one?

I'm using the Advanced Stock Kernel...

Thanks!

Thank you, I'm in the process of flashing it, I'm just doing a CWN backup because the last time I flashed something I had to reflash everything :P

EDIT: Works, Thanks

But one thing, if you only have one application open there is a black bar on the Recent Apps thing which spoils it a little, but thanks, that isn't a big problem, Just saying.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It's always good to do a backup :)

PS. Is that the thanks button I see :P lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
You got the thanks now, I forgot :P.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Thanks! Now I have to press it :D

Anyway, I'm thinking, instead of having a Darkforest app, I could put it in the Settings App?

It would save me some time as I wouldn't need an icon :P

Plus, I think its cool :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Go for it, the Darkforest app would be better integrated into the settings like Cyanogen mod, I'm going to get to know Java a bit more now, Looking into more custom rom development.
[Xperia Play Android Development] panzerscope:
Again, You rock. Just updated now and all is good.

Thanks !
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Right, stuff fixed in next build:

Dialer (using ICS++ Dialer - I have permission, thanks Thomas and Atarii)

Lock screen in landscape, you can now dock the phone (Thomas showed me how to fix, again thanks :) )

Also I think I'm going to do that, integrate it in like CyanogenMod does.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RublJow:
That would be nice too :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:

Has the battery life improve? Like last at least 15 hours general use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It should, deep sleep is working :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Keiran, I suppose this is probably a bit off topic, but I was wondering. You have got some "mad skillz" - have you ever thought about turning them to figuring out how to get CDMA support, 3G, calls, etc into a version of your ICS ROM. It seems to be stumping all the other talented devs, to the point where I have begun to believe it's impossible.

I mean, it's not like you're busy doing a gazillion other things or have a life outside of this forum, right? ;)

BTW - why the exception of NetFlix hanging, your kernel is working just fine with CM9. THANKS for all you do!
[Xperia Play Android Development] blonqe:
Kieran,

The new notifications are great, takes me back to my old palm pre, amazing.

I have an issue with your dark forest app, is this broke? i am unable to download anything in the app, e.g. gapps!

I'm on your ics kernel.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
The problem with this is, I wouldn't know where to start. However I'm guessing its in the Phone.apk, maybe compare Sony Phone.apk and CM9 Phone.apk and merge differences?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Something tells me it's a little more in-depth than that (i.e. Framework changes as well)

I don't know if the SEMCPhone.apk has any support for cdma devices, either.

Also update comes tomorrow, fixed a LOAD of things :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] GetPatriotized:
Was there a fix within the last week regarding battery life? and what is deep sleep? :S
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Yes, Sony released their kernel sources, so new kernels have been built based on them. Deep sleep is a "mode of ultra-low power consumption whereby your phone will continue to listen out for phone calls and new messages but will essentially be off otherwise." The longer the phone is in deep sleep, the longer the battery will last :)

Basically, all the custom kernels were previously using sources that had buggy wifi, which stopped the phone from going into deep sleep.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
i got stuck at darkforest kernel boot logo after installing incremental update(which is perfect by the way) if this happens to any1 else just pull out the battery and power back on and device will boot normally into wat i think is the best/my personal fav rom by the best/my personal fav developer.
