I use the phone for gaming only. I don't even use a sim card.

Wouldn't it be possible to remove everything that is call-related? Like phone.apk, sms etc?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nenobr2:
Use a app such as Titanium Backup to delete this apps, but i think that this will cause problems in your rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] datswhy:
Have no problem with it, just put it in the zip file to replace the original home.apk before flashing it, after u done, flash it..

Sorry for lag reply in this thread, I am busy in ps3 jb scene these days.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
Good idea!!

what do you think is useless to you in 1.6 LE?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
Would it be possible to get this to work with CDMA without any issues at all? I have an r800x and would like to get the best gaming experience and I've heard this ROM is choice for gaming.

I would also like to know what files to flash to update my baseband with flashtool. Last time I attempted to flash files that I assumed were related to the baseband, my phone wouldn't connect to anything -- WiFi, nor the cellular towers.
[Xperia Play Android Development] datswhy:
jjkkyu, actually i running this rom greatly and share it to xperia play fb group in my country, some of them have issues on pspocket, always got FC when try to start the installed game,.

i'm not using pspocket since bought this play, so i dunno how to fix it..

any advices to make it works ?

Thanks :)

Regards from Lucian
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
check if they have preinstalledservice.apk in /system/app, pspocket need this component to run.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
Very good question.

Calling, SMS/MMS, Contacts, Email. That annoying info thingy that reminds me that I don't have a simcard (****ing annoyance, I know that I don't have a simcard).

I also don't need timescape, that should be optional.

That's all I can think of now. Of course I still need WiFi and the Synching app for twitter and facebook.
[Xperia Play Android Development] datswhy:
They still have it, i checked it first and ask them coz i read about this preinstalled.apk in this thread before to find if others have same issue, and i didnt found anyone had this problem,.

I dont want to bothering if i could solve it myself ;)

Btw, thx 4 da fast reply

Is the hotfix related to overheating device, cause i may have to say it doesn't work. Overheat caused my phone to drain too fast even if the charger is connected. So hot that i think my battery would explode any minute.

Likely an insanely stupid (and hopeless) question, but if I'm on 1.4, any chance that flashing 1.6 LE via CWM will save me from having to TitaniumBackup+restore all my stuff?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
From post #1:

Attention:

v1.6 LE also gives a clear install as usual.

So yes, you need a backup.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
Yeah... figured as much.

Okay... guess I'm going in for a Round 2 of backup/restore hell. I'm sure this'll feel rewarding after it's all said 'n done :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
Sort of. I was only able to enjoy the ROM after I deactivated the chinese keyboard via Titanium Backup. For some reason I cannot deactivate the keyboard via settings (or maybe I'm too stupid for that).
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
Oh that was the first thing to go :)

I always rip whatever horrible pre-installed keyboards are there and use SmartKeyboard.

So far, I have no complaints. The calendar that was missing from 1.4 is in 1.6 (big deal for me), I'm feelin' the transparent pull-down menu, QuickPanel Settings are lovely and I see the lock screen has been tweaked too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I have been messing with trying to get the TA rom to work on our R800x. It does install and shows the homescreens, just no 3G data ro voice. SO if you want to use it simply as a games device only then this ROM would work but for every day use... no.

I started a thread a long while ago to see about making a generic CDMA patch for Sony GSM ROMs to determine interest and in hopes of getting some Devs to help but thus far, not really.

Not trying to thread jump but here is the link to my thread:

At one point jjkkyu was attempting to assist but could no longer help and has gone back to focusing on his awesome True Ancestor ROM, which I would love to see fully working on our R800x phone.

OK, thread jump over move on people... :laugh:

I like this rom, but I miss too much gtalk, why it isn't included? Can someone provide me for an apk or a flash file of gtalk please? There are too much files online and I don't know wich one is the right one for my R800i.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
It's missing because this is a lightweight ROM. Flash the gapps for gingerbread from ROM Manager.

when i tried to replace the original home.apk, my phone goes start to booting and then bootloop..

now i'm back to 1.5b while waiting for your solution
[Xperia Play Android Development] xkeita:
You must install it via Recovery, just create a zip or use another that you have already...

btw jjkkyu, can you add Swipe to Remove notifications? :D

[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
Hi jjkkyu,

thanks for all the great updates and efforts to Xperia Play, Ive enjoyed your ROM well.

but since we will be stuck at no updates from Sony itself, Ive decided to let go of the device. I'm planning to buy a Nexus 7 for gaming and performance.

Ive switched to Galaxy Nexus for the meantime, its cheap and I can enjoy updates directly from Google and xda developers as well.

Thanks to everyone, saying goodbye to this thread now. =)

[Xperia Play Android Development] Jay Ros:
Does anybody found a solution for this problem?

I have a R800a bootloader unlocked, the last DoomKernel for GB, TrueAncestor 1.6 (also with 1.5b used to fail)

It's the only real problem I have found in this rom. I've been playing Virtua Tennis and Lara Croft pretty well. Everything seems to work here, data, wifi, camera, video recording and playback, gamepad, touchpads, everything. I already got tired of testing ICS roms where there is always something wrong or laggy, and GB roms where either touchpad or circle button didnt worked, etc.

So, a solution for this problem would be perfect. Thank for this awesome rom :cowboy:

Icon refresh when returning to home screen?

Hey Jjkkyu awesome awesome job with this ROM. I have a question for you. I'm running 1.6LE and for some reason, maybe about 80% of the time, when I hit the home button, it seems like there is a slight lag, like the icons on the home screen have to refresh. They disappear and then reappear one by one. Its like a 1.5 second lag. It's not ahuge problem, but I don't remember it on the other TrueAncestor ROMs. Thanks for your help! :cyclops:

I have been pointed in the direction of this rom as the best for smoothness and least lag/jitter when using emulators on, can anyone confirm this?

Sent via carrier pigeon
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
For smoothness ill reccomend you Gingerbread2Jellybean rom on the system but in the apps performance they are identical but what I love about this rom is that it gives a classic Xperia feeling, I just mean it feels and works like an Xperia though I have an issue, I cannot use my own custom keyboard on it.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Edit : I had to unistall both stock keyboards to be able to use it and I don't understang why the phone is set to 921Mhz by default, that makes it really laggy on this rom but after overclock it works just great.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ibam:
Thanks to make this rom..

It's awesome and so fast :good:

i can play TDKR with no lag n it ran smooth

wifi does not work on doomkernel even with his wifi modules and additional fixes such as ect too bad this rom lookes so good too :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] shadowhog006:
sir jjkkyu awesome rom, very slick and lightweight, everything is great

except for the superuser

i followed the instructions on how to install it but still got the problems (r800i)

this is what i did:

1. i Flashed the .58 enhanced fw

2. i rooted it using zergRush

3. flashed Doomkernel (v14) = i did this to get the CWM (of course cause i also want doomkernel)

4. then i DL and installed via CWM the v1.6 LE and Minimizer

5. flash dooms Wifi modules

6. i flash baseband to -36 + cwm the base Lib (i didn't wipe the cache and dalvik , cause if i did ~ it will go on a bootloop)

then im done everything is smooth got 380+mb internal storage (awesome), but when i update the superuser it says:

"error: package file was not signed correctly, . . . .. ."

and then i DL the SU update fix , and it still fails, . . . .

i thought i fixed it by unrooting using the superoneclick unroot then root it up again , it updates and i got it to the latest version , no problems i got to work with titanium and other rooted apps no problem , but when i reboot it goes back to the Original Error

can you help me pls. , i also tried what you said that go back to 1.2 but i don't see a DL link ~ pls. help sir :)

p.s. tnx for the keyboard link it much faster now, ;)

[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
So... I love this ROM to death... but for some reason, I seem to get LOADS of game crashing.

...like... more than I ever got on stock 2.3.4. Eternal Legacy's got about a one-minute window before it just sends me home. Not even the courtesy of a "Force Close" window before it just stops. Same goes for Dead Trigger, Blood and Glory and quite a few others.

What's weird is that I'm on pretty much using the bare minimum of everything. No LWPs, no task killers, no CF3D, no JuiceDefender, and no widgets whatsoever... I even ditched LauncherPro (which is already a minimalistic launcher) for Lightning Launcher(even more minimalist) and I still can't seem to get these games to stop crashing.

I know it's usually ill-advised, but I just installed RAM Booster (by Root Uninstaller). Without actually telling it to boost my memory, I see:

Is this even a memory-related issue? Something I caused?

nice ui and works good...my only question is,why dose it get into bootloop when i flash doom kernel v14.??? have an ideea?i flashed dooms wifi modules,etc etc....dosent seem to help,always bootloop...imon stock .42

forgot to mention that i have link2sd installed and a ext partition
[Xperia Play Android Development] cesaraph:
Offline charging

I solved it, I replaced chargemon from stock rom, it's in the attachment, you have to replace it in system/bin with r/w mounted in root explorer and change permissions like this

x x x

x 0 x

x 0 x

The thing is you will loose recovery so if you want to use recovery later, download x-parts from google play and install it again and replace the file again in system/bin.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
So I'm not sure what happened, but after about a month of 1.6LE working fine, it just went psycho on me.

Phone got blown up with error screens and crashed. I was able to backup my system and data from CWM, but ended up having to flash back to a stock 2.3.4 build... and I noticed something; the TrueAncestor series of roms cut down my alotted RAM drastically!

Now that I'm back on stock, I'm up to an average of 250MB of memory whereas I was fighting to consistently have 120MB free on TrueAncestor. Is this something that was caused by me, or a problem of TrueAncestor itself? I'm relieved to be back on 2.3.4 stock with my battery life and memory prime again, but I already miss many things about TrueAncestor

...how it gave me the option to install to SD right from the get-go was just beautiful, the opaque drop-down menu was gorgeous, never was sure if the Bravia engine ever improved anything, but the option was nice... and toggles built into the systemUI.apk were simply irreplacable. I'll keep tabs on this to see how things develop, but I'm back to stock now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
just thought I would say that this s the most lightweight rom I ever tried, do the touchpads work on this rom though? Since it is 2.3.7

just realised I asked this a few months ago lol, no they don't.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
Umm... I been using TrueAncestor since 1.4, and the touchpads have worked for as long as I remember.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
try playing gameloft or ea games

asphalt 7 has weird side effects
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
Most of my recent videos on youtube feature me playing Gameloft/EA games with the touchpads while on TrueAncestor.

I can say

from firsthand experience

that the touchpads in Dead Space, Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2/3, Order & Chaos, Backstab NOVA 2/3, Eternal Legacy, Sacred Odyssey, Brothers in Arms 2, Fifa 10/12, both Spider Man games, The SIMS 3, Battlefield 2, D.A.R.K., NFS Shift & Hot Pursuit, Dark Knight Rising, Six Guns, Shadow Vanguard, Star Battalion and Dungeon Hunter 2 all worked perfectly... Asphalt 7 would be the only Gameloft game I haven't played, so I can't personally speak for that one.

...the issues I had were all stability/crashes and battery drain-related, no problems with touchpad functionality ever arose with TrueAncestor (not from 1.4 on, anyway)... and it wasn't just Gameloft/EA games either, I commonly played Age of Zombies, AirAttack, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, CoD: Black Ops Zombies, Gun Bros, The Dead, Dead on Arrival, Icebreaker/Backbreaker, and Eternity Warriors with perfect touchpad functioning too... just sayin'.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyraxx84:
@TLR if you have problems i suggest you the NXT Rom cause it looks like this and is also 2.3.7 (Everything works perfect)
[Xperia Play Android Development] drivenby:
there are some touchpad issues in gameloft games but thats entirely gameloft fault , not 2.3.7.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
im not stupid, but the fact is this Gonna test this rom now
[Xperia Play Android Development] Parkside:
This is a great rom - smooth and silky. Running 1.6le on Doomkernel v14 gently overclocked to 1.2 with no problems – 240mb of free ram. To get such a functional rom and use less than 100mb of the internal storage is a triumph!

Bought my play second hand to support my emerging status as a flashaholic (I don't want to mess around with my main phone too much) and also to see if I could get an emulator to run FFVII for my journeys to and from work (the pop out joy pad is great) – once I had all the necessary files in place it worked straight away :)

Very happy man
[Xperia Play Android Development] xuan89:
Bro the rom is awesome but i have bn havin some problems...

i used it for 5 days then since yesterday the touch screen isnt responding...and when i take out the battery it gets stuck at the sonyericsson logo...when i install the stock rom the touch screen works again..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Giosiken:
Great rom

hey this room is crazy, its smooth and nice, but i have some questions, is there any way to restore mtp transfer?, and im wondering if its posible to change the available themes, the background images for the menus seems too "normal" the original ones were better
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikexd1:
i have added some things to this rom like

DSP manager instead of the stock eq.

Updated SU app

deleted the news app

replaced camera app with the one from NXT rom

added build.prop tweaks

deleted chinese keyboard

changed model in build.prop to r800a

and added stock LWP

im using it with 1.4OC smartassv2 and sio also with a swap partition of 250mb with swapper, RAM manager pro and advanced task killer pro.

i just have to say ...... DAMN!!!!! This thing is fast as hell!!!

And if you are gonna install it i recommend you to let the stock rom boot and go thru the first time configuration and then flash this rom, believe me you will get a smoother installation :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Hey! Thanks for the Rom, I really like it!

It's very smooth and stable, congrats!

I just have one little problem, but I already solve it: the GTalk video chat isn't showing the video of the other one, just some buggy colored static or something :P.

To solve this, I first try to install the CM gapps for GB, didn't work because the GTalk of this gapps don't have video chat...

Then, I found this thread and I tried the cwm method, and it's working! yay :3

Despite the gapps flash problem I had, everyone is really nice!

I was on ICS, but I just tired of the memory and touchpad buggies with games U.u. I'll try CM10 when they fix the camera. I hope it's better :P

I'll really miss the settings shortcut under the notification toggles, but this is just a little detail after all :P

Nice job!

I've been on stock, bloatware removed which was ok.

Went to jokawild which was super slick but wasn't a fan of the style.

Then to official ics which was just too slow for me.

Currently on gin2jb which looks fab but feels a bit sluggish at times.

Why did you flash another baseband (Your Step 6)?

Superuser worked fine for me but I didn't flash anything after flashing the rom, also why did you flash CWM in step 6?
