Kernel

Is it possible to modify this kernel to something like dooms kernel? So we poor people with locked bootloaders can use ICS and develop ics with a more compatible Kernel.

If yes what would take to do it?

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

All I need is gamepad, dont really care about other bugs, GamePad working and Ill use this as daily rom....

I tried installing Xdark ICS after this, but it wont boot... Using R800a... so I dont think we can go from this rom to other ics...
[Xperia Play Android Development] extremetempz:
does this mean that its impossible to get the gamepad working wihout unlocking the bootloader i cant unlock mine it wont let me:(
[Xperia Play Android Development] heralm001:
about ics DoomKernel

what exactly DoomKernel version I have to flash? can someone put a link to it? i tried so many vers. of doomkernel and screen gets black or only in one case the andorid black hood comes but it freezes please help, sorry for my bad english!
[Xperia Play Android Development] cloud1250000:
hello, you can't flash doomlord kernel if you have a locked bootloader...

Anyway, about the gamepad, maybe someone can make a module to enable it...

(like when we want to overclock when we have a locked bootloader)

Immediately when the solution for the gamepad comes out, I'll try this for sure!

thanks for the info!
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
Worked for me on my R800i so it should be possiblee
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Can you post how you did it? I wiped data and cache then instaled it, but it hangs on sony screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Have you got abd drivers for your phone installed?..that what your problem might be

Does the camera and gamepad work with it
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
Could someone post a video on how to install this i have never used flashtool before would help a lot coz wanna be safe installing this.

The 2nd part of the .479 custom zip is broken now, i can't extract both parts together.... Few days ago it worked fine for me...
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Download the parts again I had that problem and downloaded them again and worked
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
I came from Gin2Jellybean and all I did was just

1. flash everything in flashtool, root it, install recovery

2. reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

3. flash xDark ICS

4. flash DoomKernel

and all is working fine

Yes, they work like described in the xDark ICS thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
I know none of these are the Neo L, but which would be the closest to the R800i out of these? Maybe one of these will flash without header errors, then we could optimize them? For those getting header errors I mean.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Well I'm guessing you're bootloader is unlocked... Mine is locked so can't flash doomkernel I taught your bootloader is locked and u got it to work somehow
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
Well, the thing is, I was able to install and run xDark ICS on this kernel I only installed DooMKernel for touchpads camera and OC
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
By the camera being inverted? Do you mean the colors or the image is pretty much mirrored?

I don't play gamepad games anymore, but I'm patient enough to edit photos and videos after capturing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
the camera being inverted isn't really the biggest problem, for me, everything is just way smoother when overclocked

and touchpads is a nice thing to have:cyclops:
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
I tried xdark didn't work just stayed at the Sony logo
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
I have an idea for users with the header error. The kernel that gives the black screen came from the Neo V, that kernel is obviously unstable on the play, but assuming that the phone is in fact bootable on that kernel, in which we are able to root the phone on it in the first place, do you think rebuilding the Neo V ftf with the Neo L kernel would work? We won't be able to root because of the Neo L kernel, but it's a start.

I thought about this because it's not the kernel stopping the R800x users from flashing. I tried flashing the Neo L firmware while excluding the kernel and ended up with the same error.

The only thing that's holding me back though is that I was thinking about flashing the unmodified Neo V firmware alone, but I won't be able to tell if it successfully booted since USB debugging will be disabled by default on a new firmware so I can't check for devices on ADB.

I will need to find a computer to do this on though, I can't seem to get the drivers to work right on my 64-bit laptop.

EDIT: Found 64-bit drivers, had to use a proxy to get them though because of the whole file hosting thing against the USA. *facepalm* I'll post back results when I get the drivers working.

Eck... Can't get these dumb drivers to work, I'll just load up Ubuntu then...

EDIT2: Negative... Same error once again.

EDIT3: I tried flashing using Flash Tool 0.5.3.0 because some people claimed using that fixed some ICS FTF's not flashing due to that same header, that didn't work either. I'll stop there... :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] w4lkm4n:
impressive ,nice work . . . :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
On Xdark rom, without dooms kernel, gamepad worked? If yes, then the problem is not the kernel...
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
Touchpads didnt work with this kernel for me on xDark
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Yes but, what about gamepad? X square circle triangle worked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
Vocal could you please create a list of removable files and there are 2 Gallery, how do i remove Xperia Gallery, i prefer the Galery than the Xperia Galery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] d_zen:
Look in my signature
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
Theres nothing in your signature, lemme view it via browser.

On topic i found out some or should i say a lot of problems.

I was able to install the rom, ok no gamepad... So i flashed the doomkernel 3 via flashtool. And after that gamepad started to work and so is the camera, but when i tried multiple games...

The square and triangle is functioning as X. The start and select is functioning as home button. I dunno how to fix it so i might aswell try a custom rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
Can someone supply the xperia play drivers for flashtool for me well all the drivers i need coz i try to install them from the driver installer in flashtool but it just doesn't work it runs through it and says its all installed but its just not.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] Max77230:
Anyone can test if gamepad works on PES 2012 ?

Cause mine worked on the first flash then didn't with modifications, and i didn't have found a way to make it re-work.

Thanks.

PS : Think PES read baseband. Will test with r800 baseband when i will go back from holidays.
[Xperia Play Android Development] LTrav2k:
Hey everybody,

I normally don't have too much trouble working with ROMs and rooting phones, however this is giving me fits!! I was able to get ICS up, but I was not able to change the kernel... root, or install Clockwork.

When I go to the step to root the phone, I meet all the prereqs...however it still tells me that the phone is read only and not able to push anything through. I came from TrueAncestor's 2.3.7 ROM (which I also love) and I'm excited about the chance to play with ICS even though my bootloader is locked by AT&T. Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
*Locked bootloader: I figured how to get 3g working. Baseband needs to be downgraded from 74 to a gingerbread one like 64, 66 or 67.

*Unlocked bootloader:

I tried doomlord kernel v3 and wifi did not work even after flashing module, but it does with doomlord Advanced stock kernel. So far i havent had issues with buttons being inverted or mapped incorrectly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Is this best stable ICS rom for our Play ? And I have unlocked bootloader. How can I install this *
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
When running root and cwm script, make sure flashtool is closed or else it won't work. Also, it is important to switch to mass storage mode.

Maybe that helps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] itazchu:
I have R800i unlocked bootloader with doomkernel and I don't have wifi issue after flashing the wifi module. and I can get data working under 74 baseband.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
U mean doomlord ics beta v3? Who know why it did not work for me. As for baseband, data wasn't the issue, I got edge. The problem was getting hspa. maybe is a carrier issue. Im on at&t and there was another user who experienced this issue on a network in Canada. Anyway. Just sharing my experience and trying to help.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Im from Brazil, and I have the same issue, Edge but no HSPA

any solutions?(Unlocked bootloader)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
I modified the ftf provided by vocal1992, replacing .sin files with gingerbread ones. I forget the file name right now. But its three files. Maybe ill post later if that helps. Or flashin only baseband from 2,3,4 ftf may work... I didn't try though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] geelepejota:
My dear as I can this GGB 2.3.4 baseband 62 or 64? you could pass the file that you used? was good? I am having the same problem. Is not it the case can file a Latin version of Generic ... is there?

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

It worked! I put the generic baseband of 2.3.4 .64 ... and it worked ... HSPA now only! won!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
Glad I could help
[Xperia Play Android Development] CloudShepherd:
Are current issues being fixed right now? I really want to use this as my daily driver
[Xperia Play Android Development] geelepejota:
Downloaded to a blog w w w . xperiablog .c o m . b r there is the forum where he teaches install ICS beta ... just open the flastools load the rom, clear the ops wipe and formatting, select the options to delete, kernel, system and leave only the baseband. It will install and will look like 64.
[Xperia Play Android Development] geelepejota:
Staff is so install the baseband by 64 flashtools. When the touchpad ... no solution?
[Xperia Play Android Development] geelepejota:
Someone who can be the solution for the touchpad? CM9 in the works ... but this is best rom ... that would be the solution for the same work again? Hug!
[Xperia Play Android Development] w4lkm4n:
i've try this ROM since yesterday ,untill now i use this to be develope by me

i confirm ,this ROM have more is ,not just issue on the first post

,if you set your network to GSM only (2G) and restart your phone ,you got setting WCDMA/GSM again :confused:

we can't develope the touch pad or gamepad ,because we use XPERIA NEO L Kernel

so my conclusion is , if you want beauty UI and another about interface ,use this ROM and developed it !

and if you want to PLAY ,just use GB ROM :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] LAcube:
r800x?

So does this work with the r800x xperia play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
Not at the moment. If you try to flash it on the R800x, it ends up with a header error.
[Xperia Play Android Development] extremetempz:
i havnt flashed it yet but could i use this method to get touchpad working

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797280
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
As long as you have root to move the files, that should work! :)

I suggest trying it, I can't since this currently doesn't work on the R800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Yea u should try it and let us know if it works
[Xperia Play Android Development] Reapman:
So if that does indeed work.. only the camera issue remains then?

Getting close enough I might be willing to try it on my locked bootloader..
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
i dont think it'll work since it needs xplay kernel, but dont let me stop you....
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Does it not use the xplay kernel...I remeber u have to flash it at the last step...or is that just renamed or sonething?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Doesnt work

I tested, on my r800a it doesnt work, got into a boot loop, I have a locked bootloader…
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
Cosmicdan just confirmed that the zip file in the TouchPad thread by markphyton is bad, which explain bootloop. And this rom does not use xplay kernel, u need unlocked bootloader to flash it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] talira:
Hey guys. Just one question, if I do this and am not pleased am I able to revert back to a gb rom. I didn't see this asked before.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
Yes u can... Just flash the gb FW through flashtool
[Xperia Play Android Development] timmo15:
Camera fix

Love this ROM. Thank you vokal1992.

One Question, is there an app or fix to the Camera app to flip the camera back yet?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CloudShepherd:
This isn't working for me.

I extracted the .ftf files in the original post, but that caused bootloop.

I flashed the .ftf file max posted, but again, i got bootloop.

I have an r800at flashed with r800i enhanced .58 firmware
[Xperia Play Android Development] Max77230:
Sorry, works only on r800i.... :s
[Xperia Play Android Development] CloudShepherd:
SUCH A TROLL. I thought i was going to get ice cream sandwich :( haha
[Xperia Play Android Development] nez762:
i click on the link and i get .001 and .002 files no .ftf . wat to do?
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
Put both files in same folder an unzip 001. Do no rename it. Once 001 is uzipped u'll get the ftf.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nez762:
so what is the .002 file for?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
The reason why there are 2 files is because once a file exceeds 200mb it could not be uploaded. So to solve this the file was zipped in 2 files. And for you to get the whole .tft you should download and install 7zip, once youve installed 7zip just right click the 01 or 001 file and select 7zip then extract it. Once extracted just paste the tft on the firmware folder of flash tool. From there you should be able to identify what to do next.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nez762:
sry for sounding like a noob :/ stuck on step 14. i tried doing the whole process again, but it is always saying no root access. i tried rooting with flashtool n superoneclick it still didnt work. :(

P.S i like clicking the thanks button ;)

EDIT: i dont know what the hell idid. all i know is i rooted it
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
step 14 is something that you do while your phone is on, so just leave it on home screen, connect usb once device is detected then run the cwm.bat, the instruction to follow is on the dos window. the very purpose or how the 14 works is as if you are installing something from out of the phone.

edit: where can i get the latest .tft of neo l?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
is there any way that we I can fix the camera back to normal?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
you need custom kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ihsanfauzi:
I've tried DooMKernel ICS kernel v03 but it seems like it the battery running out fast.

AAH! When i run root me bat it says constantly "key is out of date. Killing" then says daemon started soucessfully and then says the key thing again.....

pushing somthing here and there between the same message and when it creates a folder it says that exists and no space in the sistem and can´t push anything because the sistem is mounted on read only and no space again....

[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
Something similar happened to me. And it was because I had flashtool open. Closing flashtool before running the script solved it for me.

[Xperia Play Android Development] diverdown5150:
Totally misread this as CWM, sorry! It's not particularly recommended to flash the cfw for this, as it makes it super hard to flash back to stock after using the modified MT25i firmware that was available here. Took me 6 months after accidentally bricking my Play with this firmware to fix it as Flashtool couldn't properly recognize the device as a Play (R800i) when it read as a Neo L (MT25i). If you need help with an R800at or another perma-locked device, we have a discord server for the xperia play and I can help with testpoint unlocking your device. I also wrote an entire wiki page on how to do it here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
You should be able to find a guide thread for installing CWM for your particular device. After that, boot into the recovery and choose from the advanced option the "wipe Dalvik" cache. Its a useful tool for clearing up strange bugs that may appear over time.

Thanks ill give it a try now and see if it works, hopes so!

Nope no luck, im totally lost now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
Did you install CWM? Have you tried clearing network connections: Settings>Wireless & Networks>Wi-Fi Settings>Manage Networks>Manage Network Options? This will 'forget' all known networks and you can re-connect to your Wi-Fi again, since something has obviously gotten it fubar'd.

Are you sure its not your router? Are your settings any different than what they were before? If you phone was connecting before you reset your router and if you didn't change anything in your phone it's probably the router. Do your other devices (laptop, other phones...) connect?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iFrankie:
Well it happened before i reset the router, it happened right after i uninstalled some stock apps like chaton etc, i can't remember what else i deleted but i think that was it, i thought if i hard reset it those apps would be re installed?
