If anyone doesn't have this app for CPU over/under clocking, you probably use NoFrills CPU because SetCPU costs money. But you may want to consider buying it after the latest update.

Besides spcific profiles for time of day, screen off, and in call, where you can set CPU freuencies under those conditions, the latest update has added APP SPECFIC profiles!

This means you can keep your CPU underclocked for basic use, but when it comes time to game, say for FPSE, you can just make a profile to overclock the CPU whenever FPSE is actively running. No more manually changing it when you want that extra boost!

Really makes things easy.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] john9:
Thanks for doing this!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DennisDroid:
Thanks for the Tip, i bought me SetCpu last week to OC/UC my phone and its a really nice app :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jmstumme:
Ahhh after updating I keep getting fc when doing anything with the profiles, and my phone dead locks when the screen is off. This is a HTC Mecha rooted with InfectedROM Nightly on it. Do you need anything else?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
I'm having no FC issues. Try asking on your phone's forum. This is the Xperia Play forum. Or contact the dev.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
to all those very knowledgeable xda members, i've been considering unlocking my bootloader, installing doomkernel, using SetCPU to overclock to 1.2GHz and all.. but i have really serious questions that concern me a lot.. i'd be happy if you great guys could answer them real quick and concise.. :D

First, what are the known bugs DoomKernel might give?

Second, will heating be a problem if i overclock even at just 1.2GHz? it is so hot here in my country & i even reach as high as 49 degrees celcius on my phone right after playing a game on a really sunny day.. is overclocking not advised for me?

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
There is no noticeable issues with doomkernal for gingerbread as it's been out so long he has it perfected. Also any over clocking up to1.4 is classed as running (cool) anything over is a risk (hot). You should have no issues at 1.2 had 1 of our plays set around that since overclocking came about for play and never had issues. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheVicious:
Does SetCPU require only root ? Or I need something else (diffrent kernel or something) ? Sorry for a noob question :( .
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
You need to have root and install a custom kernel that supports overclocking.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
All my PSX roms run perfectly, I do not know which to use it for now xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
You sound like you already know the answer to your question....so yes, go for it!!! If you aren't OCing the phone to high for long periods of time then IMO you have nothing to worry about. Doomkernel is amazing with CWM built in and prerooted. There is also a Doomkernel that's just advanced stock without OC/UC but still has CWM. Honestly some games need OC and "Root access" is a necessity for me. ;) There is no down-side to rooting phone that I can think of.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Doomlord follower:
1,No bugs on doom for me

2,I live in Singapore so I know what is hot.I am on 1.4GHz and I have no problems with overheating:)

1.2 will most likely be fine, but I've heard every phone's different. Just try.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] savage24x:
What's the latest version number?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
3.0.0
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] alquistador:
i am overclocking 1.8 never had a problem
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Since I've installed the 3.0.0 I don't know why Superuser shows me a notification of SetCPU by a certain time... When I'm playing an emulator, surfing the internet or doing a call.

Anyone have this problem?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
I was getting notifications too, but I thought it was because I enabled profiles..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
The best way is to disable notification when you use profiles.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Baltyre:
Working with profile loaded on apps like Browser.

But not with N64oid or Mupen :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
Yeah I was getting notifications at random times too, not just when using the apps that I had profiles for..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Sometimes the "Charge" profile stays on when I disconnect the USB Cable.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] noojster:
Thank God for this thread

can somebody help me in setting up my profiles?

I cant seem to understand how the priorities work, sometimes It just doesnt fit to what I want to happen

I just want 3 profiles

A main profile or screen unlock profile, which triggers whenever I use the phone, specifically runs on 1.5ghz performance governor

second is screen off, which triggers when the screen is off, set to 134Mhz both min and max, and its on powersave governor

and an in-call profile, which triggers when there's a call, 600Mhz min and max, performance governor

now I try to tweak the profiles tab and I just do not know how to set the priorities just so they are not conflicting each other

I really appreciate the help guys, thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
No matter the numbers, just create the "screen off" profile with higher priority than the "call" profile. You can change your main profile manually.

I recommend you to create a "charging profile" higher than "screen off"
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
Profiles not working for me.

I just tried to associate a profile to an app (calculator, just to try) and when I launch it, I receive no notifications at all.

Notifications are on, I've doomkernel, rooted.

Dunno where is the problem.

EDIT: Ignore this message ! ---> Uninstalled, reinstalled, all is perfectly running!!

setcpu and swapper

i have a question about setcpu... i have all ready installed swapper 512mb and setcpu in my xperia play, and the setcpu app doesn´t detect the swap memory it allways shows exp: swap total: 0, swap free: 0 some budy can tell me how to fix it?

by the way, my phone has the trueancestor v1.6 LE :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sesamo:
Try installing terminal emulator and type 'free' it will show you if the swap memory is activated.

UPDATE (03th FEB 2013) This will wipe your internal storage (/data) but not your SD Card!

UPDATE (06th JAN 2013) : VIDEO TUTORIAL ADDED CLICK HERE

UPDATE:

OK so i was looking around for a easy to use guide i could refer someone to and couldn't find one so i decided to create 1.

With this method you wont need to download the android SDK and instead can download a small package of files that i will upload. this saves around 1-2GB of bandwidth.

Firstly we should confirm your phone can be unlocked. To check if your phone can be rooted (most likely if it is not branded to 3, Vodafone etc then it can be)

Go to the phone dialer

Tap*#*#7378423#*#* then a service menu should pop up,

Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. if it says boot loader unlock allowed then you are good to go.

if it says not allowed or no then you will need to pay to have the boot loader unlocked.

Now we need to get your IMEI to do this type in the dialer *#06# another window will appear with your IMEI number write this down somewhere as you will need it later.

OK so now that you know your phone BL can be unlocked we will need to download and extract these files

ADB and Fastboot Package - http://db.tt/B5vG1yn

Now we can begin. Turn of your phone. once the phone is off press and hold the search button while pluggin in the usb lead. the led at the top of the phone will be lit up BLUE. your computer should prompt you to install drivers for the new device if it does then select 'install manually' and browse to the location of the drivers, depending on your system architecture (X86 or X64) select the appropriate folder it should then install the drivers if you get any prompts about unsinged driver just install any way.

if something doesn't happen like it is suppose to please reply here or pm me.

Next we need to go to sony ericsson's bootloader unlock site read through to confirm you understand what your doing then click continue.

Click "yes i'm sure"

ok now check both boxes and press i accept

now we need to fill in these fields (IMEI is the number you wrote down earlier if it doesn't work remove the last number and try again)

Press submit and you will see your Unlock Key copy it for later.

Finally after installing the drivers we will need to run the software called fastboot now to make it easier for you guys i have included a simple bat file which will load CMD at the correct location. so load run_me.bat and make sure the BLUE LED on your phone is still on. if it is then type this in to the new cmd window.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY

replacing KEY with your key. for example

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x726802F75671552D

your phone should now be unlocked. check my next guide on how to install custom recoveries, kernels and most importantly Android 4.0 (ICS)

[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
Thanks, but sadly mine says BL Unlock: No :/

If I pay for the unlock what happens then? Does somebody do it for me?
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
hi yes but i cant remember who that is. maybe some1 will comment back on here saying. he is trusted member of XDA who has unlocked loads of peoples but forgot his name :S
[Xperia Play General] jasb92:
His name is Alejandrissimo, contact him on unlock-bootloader.com to get it unlocked. ;)
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
yep him :D although the site isnt working.

EDIT: yes it is just really slowly
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
How does he do it?

TeamViewer??
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
yep. if i remember correctly he teamviewers with you, you have to put a paperclip on some test point on your phone, he uses some software which he has to pay for and then does some weird stuff and its done. that whats i read at least.
[Xperia Play General] d_zen:
Nice clear and short guide, and you can see nicely how easy it is for the xperia play to achieve a unlocked bootloader in comparrison to other devices.

Isn't this supposed to go into the general section though?
[Xperia Play General] GP18376A95:
i did a nandroid back up before unlocking my r800i and when im done unlocking i did restored my backup....is my BL still unlocked or it is locked again because of the restoration?....by the way +1 to you for making and effort the noobs...
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
Tbh it should prob be in either dev,apps & themes or general! Mod move it if you fell the same

Still unlocked also please press the thanks button rather than saying thanks :D
[Xperia Play General] GP18376A95:
i just did before downloading your package...thanks again;)
[Xperia Play General] fma965:

On the Sony site, it states: "In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."

The status is missing on my R800x (Verizon). Does that mean I can't unlock my device?
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
you will need to contact some xda member on unlock-bootloader.com it will cost though
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
you can unlock the vzn r800x using the Sony unlock code but make sure you enter your meid as is( if your meid has capital letters put then in as capital letters). you can even use flashtool to unlock it.

although this method would work as well... still need to get code from Sony.

[Xperia Play General] JockeII:
Thanks for all your guides fma965, making things a lot easier for us who are starting doing these things. I hope you get some "equivalent trade" out of it. :)

I am tired of the sluggy response and full memory on my Xperia Play (R800i .42, bought it at release) but I am not interested in any other phone so I thought I would do what I can to freshen it up. I was thinking of something like this:

- Root it (with your guide)

- Remove all bloatware (with your guide/tool)

- Install a lightweight launcher (have no idea which one to use though)

Is there any reason to unlock the bootloader for me? It it only for installing certain custom ROMs?

And regarding custom ROMs, is there any reason to look into that for me? I have 2.3.4 stock and dont care about ICS or anything, just want a fresh and fast Xperia Play where bloatware isnt using resources and takes place on the memory.

Also, what do you think of these things? 1024 for SD-card speed and some RAM-script.
[Xperia Play General] kangi26:
Cleaned the thread...

Everyone please keep a couple of things in mind

Everything we do to our devices here on XDA is entirely experimental, and there is ALWAYS a chance that something will get borked, and you'll loose stuff. What really works well for me is when I get ready to do pretty much anything that has something to do with modding, I BACKUP. If you don't, well thats on you.

Foul language and flaming someone on XDA is not acceptable, period. And also keep in mind that if someone posts abusive/foul language and you Quote it, you posted abusive/foul language too. Please don't respond to it, just report it

Thank you
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
I use atom launcher as my lightweight but functional launcher.

You would need to unlock your bootloader to be able to get JellyBean or most ICS Roms.

Stick to stock or use imho TrueAncestor ROM, which i still think is the fastest GB ROM for our phone. im currently using slimbean JB.

1024 for SD Card seems low most people tweak it to 2048 or 4096 *not actually checked that link though"
