On advanced stock, after 26h (the phone was most of the time idle) I still have 52% of battery. It's way better than CM9 IMO (with CM9 it never lasted more than 1 day)!

Hey guys I have seen a few of you requesting miui based on the sony beta.. It just won't work at the moment.

I have been trying all week and I cannot get it working.. I am very close to giving up to be honest.

If I do give up I will be buying a new phone and forgetting about the play altogether.

Sorry but I cannot do anymore..

I think it has something to do with landscape.

Works perfect for me also.

try clearing the cache/data for it you might have just got a random fc that's messing it up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] panzerscope:
Some people see to be having issues . So I will go through the process I went through to get this ICS ROM and everything worked perfect 1st time (Face unlock, Gapps,Facebook ETC)

1. Flashed Sony Stock .62 FTF Firmware via Flashtool (Check Wipe Cache and Data boxes)

2. Flashed ICS Beta ROM using fastboot process as described on the Sony ICS Page

3. Flashed ICS Advanced Stock Kernel

4. Flashed latest Full ICS Gapps Packed via Recovery and wiped Cache and user data.

5. Booted up. Everything worked fine, all I had to do is add APN settings for my data.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sharpz811:
so you have to flash sony beta rom then flash this rom?

is it possible to use PLAY-ICS-Beta-DooMKernel-v01-lower_boot or it has to be andvance stock i needz overclock
[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
Some advise that you use advanced stock kernel but you can also use dooms v01 lower boot as well. Test them.

This rom is the best current ics beta rom, thanks keiran.

how can i supercharge this rom? its fast and all but i would love to supercharge it for extra speed and better stability

edit: ive looked at the official v6 supercharger thread and followed the instructions specially for ics. its not working, when i run it in script manager it says "bad busybox" and i cant patch the services.jar with the online webapp. ill try to reflash the rom and start from scratch

Before I start, I want to say that I know there's a

Thread like this new but I honestly could not

find it.

most of which we already know but I still persisted to do it. XD

Also, I did this on my tablet if your confused as to why I'm using

Dolphin For Pad.

[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
well, i've read a couple of "discussions" like this with sony and...don't know...the answers sony customer support give...sound like pre-recorded sh!t. Like talking to a

bot

. Has any1 ever had a

bot

in his y! list? that scans what you wrote and, when finding pre-defined text like "root" or "update" or "rom" it just gives the answers it was programmed to...

I mean...that's not a human responding there...the answers are way to...standard...and if you do some search you'll see that some answers there are actually identical with what other

s

got asking similar questions...

anywayz..that's just my opinion...

[XPERIA X8 General] qaszimodo:
So do other phone manufacturers endorse rooting?
[XPERIA X8 General] Saipro:
Well, HTC nor Samsung outrightly discourage it. You see, I believe our forums provide a wealth of info (alpha-testing, beta-testing, bug-tracking, unheard of fixes, never-before-seen MODs, etc). You know, if I were a manufacturer, I'd actually finance forums like this!

[XPERIA X8 General] jackylu:

[XPERIA X8 General] mrdamm:
HTC or SAMSUNG just says that it's dangerous rooting their phones (and it really can be, if you don't know what are you doing). But SONY don't even talk about the subject.
[XPERIA X8 General] Shimizux:
LOL!

This Is Funny ! Cant Stop Launging ! XDDD
[XPERIA X8 General] K3lthuzad:
This isn't all that funny. SE realised they did horribly on their first wave of phones, so they just gave up on them, and released a much better second generation (the 2011 Xperia line).

Those screenshots just make me feel bad for the person who had to put up with that. :/ No manufacturer would actively encourage rooting/Custom ROM installations - if they did, and people bricked their devices, they'd start blaming SE and then where would they be?

Just be thankful that the dev community for the X8 is so wonderful. :)

[EVO Shift 4G General] fayrarri:
I personally don't think any phone is truly EOL until developer support stops. I'm sure there will be sense 4.0 roms out sooner or later for the Shift. That said, having used to E4GT I find it very underwhelming. The S2 line as a whole wasn't as awe inspiring as it should have been... Not to mention samsung build quality sucks. As for the iPhone... Its an iPhone. A good phone if your willing to bend over for Apple, personally would never move from an Android to an iPhone, too much of a backward leap. Probably should wait for the EVO One, I think that's supposed to drop in June sometime
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:

[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Both of those devices, the SamSUCK ,and the ITurd are just truly GARBAGE. I have had to repair both, and have owned several SamSUCK devices ( DARK DAYS) . No thank you, both are a huge downgrade. Also just because a device goes EOL, does not mean it is dead. Look at the original Sprint HERO. It's still has a strong following. The EVO4G same thing. The Touch Pro2, I can go on. IMO hold on to the Shift till HTC steps up, and gives us something we want.
[EVO Shift 4G General] B RAD G 296:
At least wait for the htc one x to come to sprint. Because then we should have sense 4.0 out for us and it gives more time for u to pick a new phone
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
For the love of Gawd do not get the iphone 4s, drob is right it's a complete fail. "We added android notifications, ota updates, and voice search (siri)", all things android has had for a long time! There's a app called everfriends on the market that does the same stuff as siri.

Now the title of this thread really cracks me up. "No ICS or Sense 4" but you think you can get that on a iphone 4s? *smh*
[EVO Shift 4G General] tt c6:
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my Shift and I LOVE Android.

But, if the damn phone keeps failing, and I can't get a replacement from Sprint, what's the point of holding on?

What I love the most about Android is QWERTY, removable battery, and removable memory. I HATE Apple and Steve Jobs. But, if HTC is only going to build Iphone clones for now on, why not just go with the real thing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] THEsunnypiglets:

True there are difficulties BUT

What im saying is Sony is a big corp with 100+ employess *Maybe

Assuming each Phone may have atleast 5devs working together everyday from 9am-4/5pm

They can easily put together a ROM

Yes the signing takes LOTS of time but with the resources they have at hand they cann pull of things at amazingly fast rates

NOW

Compare it to our devs here

Especially CM9

They take the basic SDK and port it to like so many devices !

Yes the signing part of GPS and blah is not done as it isnt required but if them devs with limited resources can pull it off

SONY sould have no problem

Our devs took ICS beta and turned it into a masterpiece ! :D

Sony should've released the final within lets say 2-2.5 weeks after release

Im disappointed >_<

only Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray got that 4.1.A.0.562 fw via ptcrb

sony told The first Xperia models to receive the upgrade will be Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray

and ics beta rom version numbering starts with 4.1 and it's also starts 4.1

%99 it's ics based and hope so
