Can somebody please point me to the needed links / forum posts for installing and rooting latest 6.2.a.1.100 for xperia P with locked BL?

I have found some file with pre rooted 6.2.a.1.100, but I remember when i rooted 0.400 it was two files? Rom and kernel?

BTW this thread (as well as most others) are such a mess and give me headache to read... Can't find anything on them. I will for sure make a tut for rooting the damn thing and put it in separate thread on Q&A when I find the needed steps...

Is it possible to install custom kernel with locked bootloader?

No, only install Custom kernel in unlocked bootloader. In locked bootloader you brick your phone.

anyone know if this works on xp with JB ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365294
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nintendojet:
I don't think there is...

I have used it with stock ICS and JB. Their main problem was the so called "call bug" - the phone rang even when you answered the call etc. They may or may not come around at your install. There is a Hungarian forum and we concluded the fact, that it is random without any pattern.

Now I'm using cm10.1 from percy and it is quite good. It gives you possibilities that are unavailable from the stock roms. It has some minor drawback, you will lose sony's developments, however I don't think it is such a PITA to do without them. I also like the style of cm10.1.

I have also heard good experiences with JB Moonwalker ROM, although never tried that one. It is stock ROM based so it has certain drawbacks because of that.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LoveForEver:
Percy can still continue developpement on an other site than XDA.

XDA try to control everything and i think the whole mind of this site is dead now. Android Developpement is open to everyone because it's opensource. But on XDA, you can't post your work whenever you wan't because the people who are managing this site are doing what they wan't.

If you continue like that, XDA, you will loose much people because you are stupid enough to accuse the best and only dev on Xperia P who can port new versions on CM. So thank you guy's, thank you to destroy your own comunity!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bobo E:
[MENTION=4931177]LoveForEver[/MENTION]: Sadly, thats true. Whole story short, percy made a working build of 4.4.1 for Xperia L. Unluckly, he did that before guy named "uberlaggydarwin" who wanted to be super-uber-developer-device-mantainer (who even had written some post about that) for SXL. So with badly hurt ego, he went crying to admins in Development Committee. There he met a "brother-in-arms" jared - member of DC who had never ever developed anything (his "qualification" is having plenty of Samsung/LG devices).

Percy was accused of blind development, making builds only for money, publishing builds that can brick users phones, etc. No surprise that under these circumstances percy decided to leave XDA.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LoveForEver:
The most surprising is that they accuse him of blind developement while a lot of devs do that. I may say **** but I don't think fxp has all Xperia Devices he is maintaining
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnDas:
Someone please pm me the link of any other site with undergoing android development for xperia p

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nintendojet:
Who the hell cares if he made it for the money (which isn't the case I guess since it is a donation system. He has not ever advised us to pay.)? Doesn't he deserve it? Has he bricked any device?

He made my expensive (for me it was expensive) phone usable after Sony left it in an unacceptable state. Now you scare him off, providing us nothing in exchange for that. How charming. How amazingly productive.

Xda has lost every meaning for me this way.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
How about 1080p mkv ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
I don't have a sample. The only way to properly test this would be via HDMI out as the screen is not 1080 compliant.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] htchris:
It is 1080 compliant. It ll just downscale the video.

The question is if the CPU has the power to play 1080 p video (avi,wmv and so on) without drop the frame rate. Please check and inform us.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] simonlant:
Yup, there is a protector on the device already, but I found with the Arc one (also preinstalled) that it scratched quickly, some seem to be referring to it as more of a 'shatter guard' than a true protector.

I have used the aftermarket Zagg ones on top of the Arc one (as well as on my iPods and other devices) and would swear by them. An odd point is that Zagg seem to have decided to cut away all of their protector at the top of the screen (around the camera and light sensor) rather than just around the speaker guard which might look a bit strange and doesn't protect the camera.

The above said, I will just keep it as it is for now and time will tell if the current one is fine enough!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tretiakov:
it actually depends. it can handle avi with hardware decoding, but it seems mkv is not too compatible. usually, you can play it with middle or low bitrate with some not very critical glitches, but if the quality of video is high (i.e. bitrate is high) - you won't be able to watch it normally.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] o>c:
A good thing about this phone is that the preloaded apps can be uninstalled without root

I keep the officesuite, neoreader(qr code scanner) and trackid(song name finder).

Battery life is the biggest weakness. Its hard for me to get a quick charger, but I heard that the 2A charger for BlackBerry also works. If this phone sells well, we can expect bigger battery that is installed by taking the phone apart, or a backpack battery that turns the iPhone from a sliced luncheon meat into a soap.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
I'll just post some screenshots of my batterylife here.

This was part of today's tests. I've been using whatsapp quite a lot, browsing, shooting pictures, filming, playing some games, instaling applications and removing them, playing around with navigation and stuff. And the last 45 minutes were phone calls, that explains the extreme drop.

Again, I live in a small town with bad phone reception. First part of the test I've been in a bigger city.

I've had 3G on at all times, but been using WiFi most of the time. 3G took over when I was out of WiFi range. I had Auto Sync on. GPS was off (except for some navigation stuff), Bluetooth was off as well.

Using it for about 4 days now, I can tell the battery life is improving.

On the second screenshot, the "appereance" time shows 46%. When I tap on it, I can see the actual "screen turned on" time which is 2h 51m 17s.

The last screenshot says "Brightness" and "Energy saving mode".

Any questions, shoot.

Edit: Still can't post links. You guys will have to copy paste 'em.

Another set of questions to users:

*Death grip is an isolated issue I reckon ?

*How about the yellowish/greenish tinge ?

*Does WhiteMagic live up to the hype ? Outdoor viewing?

*Battery ! :confused::(:mad::o Not able to get any concrete info about this !

On a +ve note,how sexy does the red look? :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Death grip indeed is an isolated issue. Not actually an issue to me if you ask me.

Yellow/greenish thing haven't noticed it for normal day use. But I can see it when I go to ePrice.com.

WhiteMagic is really a plus, very useful for outdoor viewing. Didn't think it would be that much of a plus, but it really is.

The metal body doesn't get heated up that quick for me, not hot at all actually.

Battery, read 2 posts above this, I've put some screenshots there. It's improving for me.

Although battery life sucks even more than ever which is unfortunate, but I could live with that. The bigger problem this poor guy has that it often goes into deep sleep randomly, like 3+ times a day and only thing at that point you can do is restart and that's a deal breaker for me.
