What he does or does not do is up to him, as I said all devs want a "killer feature" in their roms, in order to make them special in one way or another, so why lose the one thing he has so fast?

Not saying that's his intention. Just saying it's a typically human thing to do.

Plus for a dev it might seem pretty hurtful to get the feeling people just want to extract this one cool feature out of your rom to use it for their favorite one. Isn't this as a matter of fact the whole point of these demands and sudden revolt?

And every dev knows how much time he sacrifices developing, and knows it's probably not going to be a very profitable venture. So to "milk" users for donations with the premise that it's maybe the only way a rom might get updates is very wrong.

And at the end there is an elegant way to settle this. Open a new thread with a petition for xdarkmario to release his solution. Leave this thread clean of all this arguing and clutter.

The first 10 pages or so are all constructive and bug/bug-fix oriented. It should remain so. Cheers!
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
You both have some decent points, but IMO the bottom line is: he is the only one who knows the files that need to be edited and it seemed like he was going to be willing to discuss it with others(in time). If I hadn't heard that aaron187 had actually pmed him asking for his help I might have said people were overreacting and that the poor guy might be on vacation somewhere-unplugged from android and technology. But if he flatout refused to help others with his fix that he has in his own Rom then I say it's Bullsh+* to hold something that can possibly help so many with the device to continue development. This is Android=open source. I don't care if he finds a way to sell it if he released it at some point.

Edit** Doesnt it seem like someone who is gloating since they are only one who can fix things??lol. Why even put it in my Rom if I won't help others? Thats not right.

[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
You know what mave we should keep this thread clean because @ the same time this is the best mist stable ics rom for play IMO and @ least he takes time to dev and share the. Mabe he just wants ppl to know who he is first instead of "ya some dude found a fix" do your thing xdarkmario and take bak my thoughts:banghead: and support ya
[Xperia Play Android Development] Depump:
so cool :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] anino6:
Most stable ICS. bow.

Looking forward to it, i bought another xperia play just waiting for your rom! keep up the good work. :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] daksha303:
I was on .42 & 56, 'cause this stock system is the latest released here in Italy. I was running this with doom 14. Flashed doom 3 for ics, wiped EVERYTHING, installed this rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
xdarkmario thank you so for this great rom. This is a giant leap for the Xperia Play community. On some games I've tried the circle button still acts like the back button even though they are xperia play optimized. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Keep up the good work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Are you going to reply to my messages Mario I've sent you 4 PMS in the past few days but you haven't bothered replying? C'mon dude just help us out!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Justinchi:
Don't even sweat it man. There's nothing hidden that won't be revealed soon enough.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
It's cool he told me what to.so but it wont work because he's using 4.0.3 and the majority of us use 4.0.4 so framework is a bit different aswell
[Xperia Play Android Development] Justinchi:
Darn =/
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
xdarkmario,

Keeping this "fix" to yourself isn't going to help anyone but yourself, and is quite a selfish move. Now, I say fix because I know now that its framework related, and I also know I could probably "fix" it myself in CM9.

Smali injection isn't fixing from source, all you did was replace one file.

So until you post up what you did, I won't waste any sleep on it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] idiotzach15:
Damn. Mario, keiran is like the Marcellus Wallace of this forum. I suggest you do what he says.
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
You guys have no people skills, making threats and name calling, talking down to him is the last thing you should do.

Releasing the info I support but your treatment of him is terrible. I won't be shocked if he tells the community to go uck themselves.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
xda is a developer community, where developers share information. All I want this user to do is tell us how he did it.

It seems I am going to have to do it myself and when I am done I will post it on a new thread on this forum where there will be a tutorial.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Keiran, Mario said to me that to use his framework files all of the Jar files in framework folder as he had edited them to get touchpads working?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Decompile original jar

Decompile jar in his ROM.

Then do a diff.

That's what I will do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Yeah Im doing that now! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Keiran could you come on IRC chat in about 15 minutes?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:

Thanks....for only messing with us & making us sweat a little bit.lol. You only started a partial revolt/riot so now we can start rebuilding our XPlay community.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't see it... And neither was I. If anyone is considering seeing it now, just do it by the way.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
some people have no respect but I guess that's the Internet for you. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONT INSULT THE ONLY PERSON CAPABLE OF GIVING IT TO YOU. yes I have to admit I have had no respect for some people on here but not recently as I have grown up. almost 19. and usually the people I have no respect to were people who didn't deserve it. thanks XDarkmario your amazing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
1. He isn't the only capable person who done it. Anyone with skills with apktool could do it.

2. Bit of a hypocrite are we? I can't count how many times you've slated ROMs or developers.

3. Age doesn't determine maturity. Here I am only 16.
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
So why haven't they? Even I know how to handle apktool for theming purposes, but I have no clue how to fix this issue.

Look Kieran, I think you're doing an amazing job for the Play. Every person on the FXP team should get a medal for their work, plus you were also active on the forums before joining up with them.

But you reconsider changing your attitude here. Did you maybe consider that it was a lucky patch that somehow unintentionally got everything working. And that's why he's vague as to what the fix actually is? Because he only remembers what he fiddled with, and not exactly what he did?

Maybe he just wants his 1 week of glory, for people to use his rom and then he will share the find.

Either way patience will solve everything, and that is something you acquire with age :) Cheers!
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
How about everyone pulls their panties out of a bunch and shuts up about the damn gamepad now? I'm tired of coming on here seeing a bunch of whiners. XDA is a COMMUNITY as was said before and if someone isn't treating it as such then get off XDA. Now drop the stupid ass subject since mario has told them (half ass) and talk about the ROM itself instead. Way to work together play owners, good job showing maturity. Keiran, keep on keeping on, some people need to learn what XDA is and you have, kudos to you bro and congrats on joining fxp since I didn't mention it before. Keep the thread clean or I will personally report it to a moderator.

What ever happened to staying on topic?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Justinchi:
Ok, everyone done ranting about how off-topic we were? In later news, back to the ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
It seems that people are very interested in this whole touch pad thing. I already said what I did and pointed you in the direction of it. The the touch pad files all rely in the FRAMEWORK and lib. The framework-Res.apk is in regular android but the jar files are ported from gingerbread because the touch pads worked there right? So anyone with a little or intermediate knowledge of Java coding can re write the jar files seeing how android is compiled of Linux, a little of C+ coding and Java. Then the all you do is edit and sign the input.jar, framework-Res.apk and framework.jar. as for the drivers they all reside in lib folder. is that so hard? :what:

[Xperia Play Android Development] eximperialdragon:
And there we go, hopefully this satiated enough of the people wondering about it so that we can return to the topic at hand.

One thing I was wondering, as a r800x cdma user, is there any chance of getting a cdma fix for this ROM as well? I tried the current one with this ROM and got working calls but no data (much like another user in the thread) and since I work in a building with no wifi, I'll be changing back to AOKP tonight to take to work tomorrow, but I can reflash and post logs, etc., if need be.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Justinchi:
Ah man, you know what a good addition to this ROM would be? If PSXperia games still worked. Maybe u could fuse GB/ICS stuff together for that function too? O_O I mean, that would really set it off to the max!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I did. Pulp fiction. Great movie.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Due I posted a comment on page 15. Flashed the CM9 female fix and edited the carrier fix to say Verizon and I could make calls but no 3g data. Wifi works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Xcited android user:
Hi i have one question, will the way you implemented the touchpads also work on non sony based roms, like CM9?

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
that I don't know, seeing how cm seems to be different then stock roms

[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
sorry for off topic but this is the last reply from me.

1. why hasn't any one? Your just jealous cause you tried to do this before and failed.

2. The only dev I was disrespectful to was gdsh and he just robbed people's roms.

3. age doesn't matter but when you get older and leave school,college etc you realise stuff. your 16 hence why your saying everyone can do this. yet no one has

end of discussion now. If you want to continue it pm me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Who the hell do you think you are like seriously dude, you aren't able to do a quarter of the stuff Keiran does yet you insult him? We devs try hard to make roms, kernels

Etc not to get insulted by idiots like you who think they know everything, so what if we are asking Xmario on how to fix touchpads devs are meant to communicate with each other and help each other out.

People like you Piss me off on XDA JUST UNGRATEFUL AND DISRESPECTFUL FOR US PEOPLE WHO TAKE TIME OUT OF OUR PERSONAL LIVES TO GIVE YOU GUYS THE BEST OUT OF YOUR PHONES.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
uh no. I think you should have actually read my last 2 posts and replies from KeiranFTW

he was the one calling me a hypocrite. but the only wannabe dev I was disrespectful to was a guy called gdsh remember him?

Keiran only now says o know how to do it any one with apktool knowledge can do it etc.. strange how this was only said after the fix was found.

The thing is I am not trying to nor am being disrespectful I was just replying to KeiranFTW

And finally how do you know what I can and can't do? I work with windows more than Linux so yeah.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aaron187:
Nope what forum was he in?
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
loving the rom man cant wiat till there is more updates its already like perfect for me one q wats teh difference between 4.0.3 nad 4.0.4
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Hey,

Argument over, OK? When I was trying to fix it, I was trying to fix it from source, by reverse engineering what is there. Without source it can not be integrated into mainline cyanogen tree. I had no idea that adding in a missing bit of Smali would fix the issue, because it was not what I was trying to do.

And congratulations to xdarkmario and I thank you for telling us of the fix you have found. Sorry for my comments before.

This is not the place to discuss things like this, if you want to take this discussion further, then PM me, otherwise stay on topic.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
i wrote a long reply about this argument but i cant even be bothered to post it. so you guys can read this instead
[Xperia Play Android Development] abrahamt24:
still waiting for the next update, i'm so excited :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
So does this mean we are finally going to see full touchpad support on ICS now?

I'm not bothered about it personally, it just means devs aren't gonna be annoyed by posts saying "touch pads?" anymore lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
I find it funny how my ea and game loft games work fine with this rom. Makes you wonder why Sony blamed those companies for no ics on the play.

Ics isn't good for games? This rom proves that isn't true
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
uh i think touchpads were not the reason anyway!
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
well for whatever reason they had, it no longer seems valid.

I'm really impressed with this rom, everything works
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Think it was the touchpads just Sony were too dumb to know what they had to change to get them to work.

I think all manufacturers should pass test builds to the devs here to improve them before release
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
I think its a matter of lazyness

Beamed from my R800x using Xda Premium
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
May be a long shot here but have you tried emailing Sony with your fix?

I mean, you've figured something out that even they couldn't
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Umm about that.. I try to avoid sony seeing I hack everything from psp's to ps3's and ban evading lol

Beamed from my R800x using Xda Premium
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
is that you George?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
ban evade ps3? you mean you got banned from psn? I never have and the amount of time I mod mw2 and hack psp's and ps3. I'm sure the reason for Sony not releasing ics is due to game compatibility not touchpads or laziness or anything like that
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
But then again Sony canceled ics. That's why they did not add game support.

[Xperia Play Android Development] oc_masta:
cant wait for the update too.

great work on v0.1!
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Sony canceled ICS not just because of touch pad compatibility but because of small RAM which made games stutter badly and there would be legal issues too.

Edit: I'd also like to say today I am working on hacking CM9 framework and injecting Sony input touch pad method.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaryab:
If SONY is to cancel ICS updates for XPlay just for low ram than it should have cancelled the updates for all of its 2011 flagships because all of them have same spec and the game stutter on all of these devices..

The reason is just LAAAAAAAAAAZZZZzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyynesssss
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Lol :D

Beamed from my R800x using Xda Premium
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes, but the rest of the 2011 line weren't sold as a gaming product.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
If only the gamepad/TouchPad fix had been discovered during the official beta
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaryab:
Then why not telling this to SONY that devs at XDA have developed the fix .. so that they should fire their lazy staff and hire these masters :P

Really? Did the specs change from the initial release to the 2011 release?

this rom seems pretty friggin cool. everyone says touchpads work for the most part... but how fast do the actual games run? i mean, without overclock. i heard gameloft & EA games are the most problematic, and about that... i really am only interested in dungeon hunter 2, sacred odyssey, dead space and battlefield BC2. 'cause if they don't work, i'll just finish them before flashing the rom :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] bjo12:
@zaryab

Dude that made my day! Hilarious! :D:p

Sent from outer space using xda app on my xplay
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
Well they can't really release a update expecting every customer to overclock his/her phone :)

Also aren't like half of the games from the Xperia Play catalog force closing in ICS?

That's why we have custom roms. Everyone that would attempt and OC would also install a custom rom, so in the end, nothing is lost :)

Keep up the good work, cheers!

EDIT: Also, Kieran good luck with the CM9 patch/fix!
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
you know that is a load of BS right? There is no legal issues. That's like saying I can sue when my PC no longer plays newer games at higher fps.

Our fps issues would be no different than what arc, ray currently have. Don't see any lawsuits there.

It was 100% a game pad issue, lazy bad devs on their part, end of story. Or a desire to kill the xplay.

At this point you should clearly see there is no longer a defense for them.

I'm not Sony bashing but it is what it is
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
If they released ICS for the play, as an official update, they would get shot down for the issues on it.

Lazy devs? They updated 13 devices
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
well Sony had big plans for the play but it did not sell as much as they plan so now they are trying to ERASE IT by trying to EOL it but they can't due to it being unfair to those who already brought it. So that why there is still games with Xperia play support seeing that's its the only dedicated gaming phone.

Well this is all just a theory anyway :)

Beamed from my R800x using Xda Premium
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
granted.

But here is the problem.

I using this unofficial rom and kernel and I dont have a single issue with it. Every single thing works, its smooth, fast and I get high fps like in gb with no oc.

With that being said, with 1 guy maybe spending a few days making it, his 0.1 release is better than anything the sony devs could produce in the 8 months they claimed that they worked on it.

Honestly, what does that tell you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
that sony should not sell cell phones especially when they all look/do the same sh!t. you know something you devs should also take their(sony) wives and finish the job with them aswell! lmfao;);)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cotda:
Amazing Rom, but could you add the Sound>Sound FX setting into Settings?? As I am sure many people would like to use equalizer apps. I think this is what is causing the crashing issue with the walkman player's equaliser as well.

Great Rom absolutely loving it on my play :D

quick question on a problem i'm having some apps wont install that should work :S the HMV app for example it gives me the option to download it on the play store but when i try to it gives me error 942. it happens on that and a few more apps and live wallpapers. also some live wallpapers "stop responding" and force close only way to get them to work is by setting them over and over a few times :S

overall tho its brilliant and great work so far :D

yeah, me too. and about that... what firmware do i need to install before flashing the rom, together with doomkernel ics? maybe the sony official beta?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Just flash doomkernel ics beta and install the from via cwm recovery menu, I don't think you need any special firmware for it.
