[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
This is probably gonna sound like a stupid question but anyway....

I recently got this phone unlocked (was on Orange, now its any nework) and as its the first ROM Ive decided to flash on an unlocked phone, will this revert it back to its original carrier or will it stay unlocked?

Also, do you need to wipe the cache/dalvik cache with this? I noticed it says the ROM gives you a clean system...Just a bit confused :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
No, flashing this will not revert your phone to its original carrier.

And it always helps to factory reset, format data, cache, and wipe dalvik cache before flashing, I've found that it improves performance a little for me :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Thank you :)

Commencing flash now ;P
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Right, got as far as "Install CWM" and now I'm stuck :S

Doing this on a locked bootloader as well

Any help will be met with a press of the Thanks button :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Get xParts from the Play Store?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Just tried it and doesnt want to boot into recovery at all
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
aah, you need the old version, v5, look around for some apk's.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Found it :D

Thanks mate

[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Always the same question "cwm doesn't work" and then "use ver 5", jeez,,,,krisdee should really write it on first page of the thread, on Instructions, lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Should be a bit clearer about it. Soon as I found links for the installer I was OK. Got the ROM installed now and its running great.

This is the first ROM Ive installed on a locked bootloader, hence my CWM issue. Boot images I used on my last Play had CWM already on them :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
It's ok man, not your fault. Of course u tried to install the last version 7, the last the better right?

I did the same mistake months ago and NXT Rom was the first rom for me too.

I'm going to send a pm to Krisdee about the xparts, should be write on Istructions on first page of thread to use Ver.5
[Xperia Play Android Development] krisdee:
Thanks for info Dany, finally updated first page.

Ok guys impossible is nothing.

Crappy SE dialer

[Xperia Play Android Development] talzer:
how was gaming in this rom compared to TrueAncestor ?

any personal opinion?
[Xperia Play Android Development] popeye007:
for gaming this rom is great specially the light edition. You can do some back reading to see what the other says. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
Not much difference on gaming between the 2. Remember the play is hardware limited and a piece of software or tweak cant cure it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
I legitimately cannot wait for this ROM now. x'D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Yeh that dialer looks amazing great work keep it up :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
A lot better. I can run Wreckless Racing without it jittering all over now :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] inspigr:
Hi all,

Very good ROM, but i get battery drain. Without any use after one hour from 100% the battery goes to 85%.I use the DooMKernel v14.

Any help please?

Get SetCPU and setup some Screen on/off profiles.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
So... Has anyone figured out how to get chrome apk working on this Rom(I mean any gingerbread rom). I have been trying to get this working by editing build.prop to show that im on 4.0.3 instead of 2.3.7 but the market still says "incompatible". Im not sure if I can find a copy thats not in Play Store but I thought small edits to build.prop usually bypass the error message. I definitely dont want to edit certain lines which will affect PS Store or certification so it still shows Sony.

Edit** nevermind.:what: I just found threads stating how Chrome will never work on GB and many reasons for this(which I could not find anywhere until I clicked submit post.lol)
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
a question,

they say, that if you use Smartass v2 governor, you can not use SetCPU profiles because it damages the CPU or something. Is that true?
[Xperia Play Android Development] krisdee:
Volume bar for Jellybread Rom.

Alert dialogs with transparent buttons.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Seriously Kris... That looks awesome. I can only imagine the time it takes to do as well...

Genuinely the most anticipated ROM this year IMO.. All going well, it'll be my daily driver till the phone dies..
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
Krisdee try this Task Bar, this is compatible to Both TA and Gin2JB.

This File has Centered Clock, completely JB themed + SMOOTH Slide to Remove Notif. Maybe you could create a NXT Skin version of my File.

[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Krisdee(or anyone else who knows this), do you just edit the xml in framework-res to change the pop up menu color and also the color of clock time in statusbar?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdojoin:
Yepp. It uses 6digit color code. But the clock color is in statusbar.xml.

But u really need to search every .xml in order to make all ui hav the same color or u gonna hav a weird color response in each ui.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
Can you also add a ics styled settings menu instead of that????
[Xperia Play Android Development] krisdee:
Yes I will try to do this and also JB style tabs with text only.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
Wow thanks, cant wait for this rom :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Flo0fy:
I hope your new ROM will include all the sweet features of your NXT ROM :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron15ryderz:

Hows the JB notif krisdee

[Xperia Play Android Development] krisdee:
So you looking for Centered Clock + Smooth Slide to Remove Notif for NXT Rom?

You can use Sdojoin's mod for DiXperia.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
Nothing against sdojin, but the slide notif from the file I gave you slides better, the one from sdojin requires straight line to remove the notif. A little movement and the slide wouldn't be removed.

why cant i use uot kitchen to edit the battery in this rom, i always get SHTF ERROR.

Do you know what is responsible for the improvement that makes this "swiping" smoother? What is edited and where? Maybe a line in statusbar.xml?

[Xperia Play Android Development] tikantz:
Tried this ROM everything works fine except the nxt lockscreen, slide the phone while its on lock and it restarts the phone, i thought it might be the launcher that had fault bu uninstalling it didn't solve the problem pls, if there is a fix it will be appreciated if not ill just restore.
[Xperia Play Android Development] UndisputedGuy:
Does it reboot every time you slide open the gamepad or only whilst it's locked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] RealMcoy:
well i understand how to use flash tool but now i get another problem

when i try to put the phone is fast boot....flashtool tell me:

"29/028/2012 17:28:56 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

29/028/2012 17:28:57 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.

29/028/2012 17:28:57 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."

and i went to the folder and installed the drivers and it still tells me that

what should i do ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] kenchi27:
Did you also install the fastboot and flashtool mode drivers? Try also checking them aside from the R800 drivers.

Please, I need help. How do I root via flash tool as described in the first post? I know of the zerg rush/Doom Lord rooting method. But this requires me to root via flash tool, but the Tutorial is missing, so I do not know which root modules are needed etc.

Where can I find the tutorial??

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

When installing the drivers from the drivers folder, look to the very bottom of the "select components to install" list. There should be "Flash Tool" and "FastBoot" drivers. Tick those boxes and also tick the box that contains the xperia play drivers, then install. That would fix the problem
[Xperia Play Android Development] .mitsuki:

Use flash tool to flash a stock ftf like you did when installing the rom

but its totally stucked at the logo. i cannot go to recovery mod and cannot do anything . tried to remove battery and reboot but after i press the power button the phone vibrates and the logo appears and then its stucked. no blu led light comes. its terrible. please tell what to do now in this situation.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
You need the green led for flash tool (hold back button and plug into computer when phone is turned off)

Have you got flash tool on your computer?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zohaib anwar:
i searched for the flashtool but i didnt get. if u have it then attach it.

Thank you for the bad ass rom. My Play runs soooo much better now. Here's a screenie for the hell of it
[Xperia Play Android Development] KzL:
which rom better

Nxt light vs nxt v1.3 which one better? can anyone explain?
[Xperia Play Android Development] UndisputedGuy:
Light is most likely smoother but it doesn't have all of the features that the full(?) version has
[Xperia Play Android Development] kokcona:
I have problem about performance on this rom.

I have tried nxt 1.3. After I flash this rom and every add-on, I used the app "my backup root" to restore contact, sms, system setting. Is this effect ram script in this rom ? Because I experian home screen redraw when exit some intensive game, and some game cannot be play at all (they close them self when enter the level, So I guess it because of running out of rams) such as Shadow guadian.

After I restore by my backup root. I used titanium backup to restore so many apps and games, then setup some widgets and shortcut on home screen. But there are only 4 background running apps - zd box (for task killer and app lock), juice defender (for battery saver), line (messaging), notification toggle (for quick access to camera and some setting menu). Which use around 45 mb of ram in total. Are those effect performance that much ?

PS. After the above process, my xplay only have 60-80 mb of ram left. What eat up my ram ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
juice defender
[Xperia Play Android Development] kokcona:
I don't think so because the problem still happen when I disable juice defender.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MauriceFdo:
I have been using this Rom since 3 months ago and everything is working great, the only tweak I made was underclock to original clock speed 1024 MHz with No-Frills CPU. Now my phone runs smoother than the impossible ICS or JB. Thank you so much.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
I am using this rom for gaming and I have no lag, I'm able to play all game (Backstab and wild blood too). No task killer (useless). Intelidemand2 and sio max cpu clock 1300 (only for gaming)

I mean this rom is lag free, so check your app (I have tested Juice defender with my previous phone and that turn it to a snail...)

Thanks krisdee, its a great rom, fast, light, stable and works perfectly with doomkernel. :)Personally i think this ROM and jokawild ROMS are the best, the latest true ancestor rom 1.4 bootlooped on me.:(

[Xperia Play Android Development] kickmys:
Dear Kris,

after using quickpannel set the toggles, add 2g/3g ,, camera cannot be closed while using front cam,,, else, next time you open camera,, the camera wont start.

Try on TrueAncestor_v1.4 , tho they don't have 2g/3g toggle, but the issue above doesn't exist.

I fixed it by replacing systemUI.apk + quickpannel.apk from TrueAncestor_v1.4

Anyway you can fix this with 2g/3g toggle bug frees? Look forward to the update. Thanks

It looks like this:

And it shows when you're connected using Facebook Inside Xperia plugin. If you have any status updates or your friends like or comment any of your posts, this plugin will show a notification in lockscreen. It's like messaging or missing call feature.

I have tried to uninstall zd box, juice defender already, the result is nothing different. and this time the thing goes even worse that when I slide out the gamepad from sleep. the phone will freeze and restart.
