[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I seem to remember Sony saying that people would be better staying on Gingerbread.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony didn't update.

Though, in all fairness, some of the ICS ROMs on here are better looking than the standard Sony stuff
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh61:
Update

I am sure, that Sony will give us the ICS update.

The situation about updates was/is bad for Sony, so they want to change something a give updates earlier.

BUT, as they said, gingerbread is running good and ICS is not optimalized yet. I think, that update will came later than they said, but it WILL come.

Here is also question about gaming HW. So this is/will be big problem i think. On ICS it has different functionality than GB.

No one maked rom, that will support gaming HW in all ways like stock rom. And THIS will be problem about new ICS.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I'm gonna say that people should wait and see what the Cyanogenmod team do with it. They made gingerbread even better with CM7
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Kop:
Still undecided whether I will update.

Will it be like installing Windows Vista on an old PC?

Or will it be like installing Windows 7?

If it's a 'Vista like experience' I deffo don't want to do it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nextil:
I'm guessing that's because Sony hasn't released the source for the beta.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
Last time I updated my PS3 was a couple of months ago,your point?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Probably a 360 or PC gamer :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
Nope,I only play on PS3. Game on it everyday. Never owned a 360,barely play PC games.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I was talking about the guy who said the PS3 updates everytime it's turned on lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Nice try haha but no I only use a ps3 im just saying it updates alot which is annoying and yes I know why it updates cfw duh

Ps. God of war=best game ever

I did have a 360 for a coupla months but I just played through halo once on it and sold it I didnt like the game lineup ya theres tons but most of them blow.

Both consoles are equally sucky until they came out with the slim and elites YLOD and RROD are caused by the exact same problem......
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Lol, buy a GameCube, play Metroid Prime, you'll find that's the best game ever

Also, didn't like the 360 lineup? About 95% of its games are available on PS3 anyway.

Personally I prefer my Retro games so this "console war" doesn't bother me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
I agree I love retro games the console wars will never stop remeber sega and nintendo lol? Huge console war! I played both thought they were both bomb when I was a kid! Console wars are pointless exact same hardware slightly different os and games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
The console war back in the nineties was good though. All systems had different games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
I still have my GameCube and nah,PS3 has the better games.

Would you guys think it's legal to use a Mario 64 ROM when I don't own the game on YouTube, but own it on Wii?

Edit: I meant GameCube
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
Well, first of all, you can't own Mario 64 on YouTube. As far as owning the game in general is concerned, whether you own the game or not, game companies don't like you to own "backups" of their games. The legality, as such, is a little murky.

I am in the UK and don't mind putting ICS on my Note but I don't care about Root.

I just want the latest firmware.

Is there an easy way to flash the phone without rooting it or changing the kernel etc? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
Hi everyone, I have been lurking the forums for a while looking at info but I want to be sure before I brick this thing. I satrted with an EL29 and did the EL29 stock+ roo from qb king as well as the CWM+rogue for the EL29. Now I am looking to flash to just a GB ROM, no ICS, (Caulkin's maybe?). I want to knwo if I can go about it with what I have installed or if I shoudl flash to EL26 with Odin (if I can even do so?). I know thei has probably been asked a million times, but its so much information I dont even know what to look for. I appreciate the input everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
EL29 rogue is sufficient for flashing gb roms, feel free to flash away. The issues are from returning to gb front ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
Okay, so I can do the nandroid backup, and wipig of the disk and cache using the rogue CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwright64:
Yep. Your good to go!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
okay, so i downloaded this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

and i put it in the external sd

I also put the format all zip in the sd to be used first.

I have a nandroid backup and Titanium backup done.

Ill run the format all script then the rom flash after and I should be good? am I missing anything? I would hate for my next post to be that I bricked the thing lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
go grab it

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771828&d=1320435068

Go to this location and download Calkulin's format all application.

What does it do? - Well my friend this masterpiece of technologically advanced mechanics and engineering does everything you need to do before you flash a ROM, automatically!! :D

But to be serious just download and put it into you external-SD card, or internal, and then enter CWM, volume-up+power, and then find where you put it into and then select flash and let it do it's magic. It's best to do it twice just in case.

Then flash the ROM, but be warned!, I wouldn't touch Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs until you become proficient in flashing terminology and techniques.

There are TONS of bricks involving "noobs" trying to flash ICS. So it's best you avoid it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
That's it man, you got it. Run calks format all and then flash that beast. Don't get impatient. It may take a little time to flash and then boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
Let me double check out loud:

1.flash format all

2.wipe cache, dalvik-cache

3.flash ROM

4.reboot

5.connect to internet and download titianium backup

6.restore backups of the applications

7.have fun? lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You are doing it right.

Titanium backup to SD card (for apps etc.)

Nandroid to SD card using Rogue CWM [as long as it is not TOUCH VERSION!]

back to recovery. Install zip from SD, choose Calkulin's format all.

Back and Install zip from SD and choose the ROM.

As a note; you may be able to get away with using the 'Modified format all' - save data. But if you start getting errors and force closes go back and use the format all.

Also don't forget to update your PRL and Profile afterwards too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
A few more questions, and I really appreciate it guys.

Where is my nandroid backup stored normally, I used the rogue CWM (I am assuming default location) and it finished but I dont know where it was saved.

Also, do I need to change or update the modem after I flash the ROM or no?

Finally, I guess I wont need to access the nandroid backup again unless I want to revert to an old ROM? would that be all I have to do if I decide I dont want to keep Calk's ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
The Nandroid is usually in your external-SD card, unless you don't have one, then it's in your internal storage. To access the Nandroids, to change the name, put your phone into debugging mode(settings-->applications) and then connect to your computer and select "view files".

A quicker method would be to use the built in app called "my files" then select clockworkmod(It might be in your ex-sd).

No you don't NEED to update your modem, only your PRL and Profile.

You don't have to mess with the Nandroid backup unless you want to revert back to whatever ROM you backed up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
For me its on external sd in a folder called clockworkmod. You can rename them to identify easier, ex: blazer_4.1_may11. Just make sure there are no spaces or it wont work on restore. Modems are completely interchangeable. You can flash any modem on any rom whether its gb or ics. just flash cache and dalvik cache first and update prl and profile upon reboot

Edit: when switching roms you must completely wipe using format all. When I upgrade the same rom to a newer version, I normally get away with the modified format all. That way you don't lose any data or settings. If things start force closing and acting wonky, you know you then have to wipe and start over fresh.

Feel free to ask away. better you get the answers before you break your beautiful phone. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
Thanks everyone, I am now ROMmed. I appreciate everyone's input. I also installed the ACS ICS theme and it looks awesome. I'm glad I got clarification here. Now I read about flashing to EL26+ last official CWM before doing any ICS flash? I dont plan to but I want to know for when I do decide do (if before the official release)

Also on a side note, and I think this is better posted on the ROMS thread, but for anyone with Caulk's 3.0 mod, is there a way to disable the volume keys turning on the screen? its kind of a pain lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Yes, el26 is the gateway to ics. How I do it is mobile Odin its a handy tool. Flash el26 tar in mobile Odin and it will reboot hold power + vol up till you get to recovery. wipe and flash ics. To get back to gb or to update an ics rom, I always mobile Odin el26. Its really easy actually once you do it. I understand the fear with all the bricks happening. The main plus either mobile Odin is I can flash on the go without a pc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
Ok so I had a question...I flashed ICS. I've never had root as long as I've owned the phone. I flashed that "OTA" from EL29 to FD24zip after watching qbkings video. I was on stock nonrooted never flashed anything EL29,downloaded the update from EL29toFD24zip put it on my external SD card and flashed from stock recovery. Is it going to be a pain to get back to stock unrooted or rooted EL29? :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Easy Peasy. Use sfhub's one-click 'reset data' http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 If you wish to 'unroot' (don't know why though) use his Autoroot to 'unroot'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zabusa:
Is there any reason I would flash from EL29 to FD24 other than ICS? or rather is it ever required? benefits?

also, what is Odexed vs Deodexed? I have seen it a lot lately

** Please Note I tried it on my own, Its different **

People who need Xperia Arc S widget and Xperia S player on Xperia Arc S LT18i ..!!!

** There are certain changes in the steps please read carefully **

Thanks to datagubben and fatimarvin_15 (its a mixture of both their steps to get it this way and my created zip file)

All steps to have xperia Arc S Widget and Xperia S Working Equalizer, Clearbass, Surround, FBmusiclikes, edit option (SemcMetadataCleanup.apk) & background color change while music 3d scrolling.. Fully tested and working on my Xperia Arc S LT18i

You need a rooted Arc/ Arc S with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and CWM-recovery.

(a) Download this pack : http://www.4shared.com/zip/KZ2Bi5k9/Another_Way.html

(b) Extract it all and transfer the files to the SD-card .

(c) Start by installing only the following like a regular app : SemcMusic.apk and Soundenhancement.apk (overwrite any present). don't open player after this just do the next step ..

(d) Now you need to swith off and turn on your phone into CWM-recovery mode ..

(e) Flash this via CWM from the SD-card : Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip (contains SoundEnhancement Equalizer to work )

(f) Then flash "lib.zip" (this enables more button in equalizer)

press power off from cwm

(g) Turn on your phone and go in cwm mode again and flash "permission framework.zip"

(h) reboot your phone, remove/move n backup2sd any previous fbmusic like from system, reboot and install new fb music like to sd(for unlock bootloaders wheather they have relocked it later) . Else who have not unlocked bootloader atall, just replace it with new one in file to sys/app with rw-r-r permissions. if this doesn't works just do it as told for the unlock bootloader arc s phones ..

Then just go in settings and recheck facebook integration and fbmusic like will work!!

(i) Then Do it normally for SemcMetadataCleanup.apk install to sd or try it to sys/app with rw-r-r permissions (i cannot confirm its fully functional as i had unlocked bootloader so "download from network" feature doesn't works, but it does work like you can edit album art and add album art pic from gallery and edit song details)

Shew!! Enjhoy!!

do it peacefully, please i will not be held responsible if u brick your phone.. do it on your own risk and carefully!

If you see the music widget being blank, just remove it from screen and re add to screen it should definately work ... with the crystal colour changing according to theme the small flames

So there you have it! Xperia Arc S widget and Xperia S player on lt18i xperia arc s ( cannot confirm for arc as i dont have it :) )

Please Press Thanks, If You Wanted This And Got it!!

Well guys its only for gingerbread 2.3.4 | .62 as mentioned, mayb for .42 aswell (but i installed it after updating and installing to .62 gingerbread)

i flashed stock .42 via flash tools n rooted it then updated to .62 via wifi and installed cwm and then continued with the main steps on the first post :)

i didn't like ics so i never tried it there, i believe this method won't work on ics and it would require more modifications ...

and yes so its working on official .62 update as i installed it via wifi the update that we get if we are on .42 first

2nd 3rd image shows the colour changing .. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shantusingh:
i believe but not sure that for ics you just need to normally install the xperia s music player and sound enhacement to sd ....

you may get the music player ofcourse running and the xperia s equalizer with better sound quality for earphones.. but u may have to sacrifice the clear bass, surround sound thing and not to install those zip files using cwm .... i am not sure still u can see if it works and if u have no problem that if it doesnt works and u re-flash ur phone again ...

upto you or mayb i'll try to figure out for ics when i get an updated ics better than gingerbread .62 :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
well...

the download album info doesnt work ryt?????
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shantusingh:
still it is functional.. just the download from network doesn't works and ofcourse it won't work as i have unlocked bootloader, so don't know if its fully functional or not for those who havn't unlocked their bootloader... But as mentioned above it does work like you can edit song details and add album art pic from gallery .. it will bring that album art to that song! :)

Else you can use media go pc software and use download album info from there :D

Mainly its all though about enjoying better sound with xperia s music player n its all features, along with the default nice arc s music widget..
