HY All

We said it already several pages back CM10 is last release for 2011 devices

Those devices use an old kernel (2.6.32) and old blobs for camera (ICS)

So even making those work with cm10 (jellybean) was an real pain

To update kernel to 3.0 we will require 6+ months (not worth for an 2 year old SOC) limited in hardware and memory

Even if we take this effort this device will not be able to handle next version of android after 4.2 because it simply lacks RAM

Even for Jellybean we had to use legacy camera to be able to use camera in an proper way (with broken panorama)

What's the benefit of having latest android if your device is not able to use new features?

We will continue fixing cm10 and releasing weekly updates with latest JB progress

Another thing particular to this device is game compatibility

This device was released with Gingerbread and many games were designed in that time

Game developers did not update their games for ICS or jellybean so game compatibility is worse

Thanks for keeping us alive though. Damn I'm overdue for a new device
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
Not to sound rude or offend anyone with what I ask, and I appreciate your work, and more, for me are the best developers of roms there!

but I have a question,

as you might not reach our Xperia Play running JellyBean, even at 95%???

If I saw that in Cyanogenmod 10, in all this time ah could not solve the problem of the camera, and the friend Wedgess rom, camera and video filming work perfectly.

Like many other CM10 corrections that were not possible,

As touchpad patch, our friend Farenheith ..

It's just a question I have, is that I do not disappoint at all even .. : (
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Dude,

Their're right. They spent a lot of time to try to solve the problems, but now they have to move on.

The camera working in PACman is the legacy one (like a port from the ics camera). The real JB camera still have preview problems.

The touchpads in JB have a serious performance problem. Many games get a massive lag when you use it. That's for some internal and technical stuff that changed betwen ICS and JB. And some games just don't work on JB.

They have a lot of problems to solve, and a lot of devices coming up. Their resources is limited and the project aim is to provide Cyanogenmod to any Xperia device, but they can't maintain every device forever. If they're saying that they need six months to port the kernel of the old devices to a new version, you can believe. And this doesn't means that the problems will be solved. So... they need to move on, and they did a lot to our device so far. We have what we have now for them. Others people will continue to develop to the play, but in some moment, will over too, it's the life.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Sad to hear it but yeah there is only so much we can do with the hardware of our device. Thanks for all the work you guys have put into it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
thanks for your reply. :)

and as I said before, my comment was no intension to offend anyone.

I am very grateful to all the work they do on XDA, for our Xplay! and many other smartphones!

XDA has served me to update you on my friends many devices, such as: LG Optimus One, LG P350, Motorola Backflip, Milestone 3, Samsung Galaxy Y, Samsung Galaxy 5 and many others .. : D

And I'm so sorry to hear that the Xperia Play is already getting old. : (

and to think that in my city is one of the most modern devices there, but in my city is not even sell it, I buy it online .. lol

Thank you all again. Best regards :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
The biggest problem about the Xperia play (actually all Xperia 2011 devices) is that their already was born old.

When these phone released, we have other phones with a better hardware and almost the same price :/

If the specs of the 2011 series was better, maybe these phones could even receive the android 4.2
[Xperia Play Android Development] GTDarthYoda:
Yeah I figured out all of this stuff after I got it >.<

thx for all your work FXP

Only thing missing that I wished worked is the proximity sensor.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nyvang101:
Any good reson why you guys keep uploading the Rom's to http://uploaded.net wich is the one with the slowest Free download speed of all sites who deliver that kind of service ? Its getting on my nerves having to wait about 1 hour everytime i need to download the latest build. ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
They have a pattern for the upload of 15 different devices. Whatever is the reason for it, be thankful that they don't get on their nerves for spent months of development and just accept their protocol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DarkVarano:
I just flashed 147 and youtube still doesn't work... more, play store is bugged and I get an error every time I try to download something... anybody aware of this ?

Edit : the specific error is "cannot retrieve information from server" RPC:AEC:0
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Are you using their included kernel? Cause that's the only one they've said they fixed.

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] DarkVarano:
Yep, factory reseted phone, flashed the included boot.img, flashed fxp147-etc.zip, rebooted, flashed gapps, rebooted, downloaded youtube and first video crashes the phone(hard reboot) after ~2 minutes... I fixed the playstore issue though
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Yeah, the Xperia Play reached it's end of life when we found out many months ago (last year?) that there would be no ICS update. And farenheith is right, the main limit of these Xperia 2011 devices is the low RAM.

With that said, I still love the Play and as many of you know, we have a growing community of developers for our device who are learning more and more. Wedgess as a good example, farenheith, cj360 and I have learned and developed more skill in the past few months. We all talk together and share ideas/code, and hopefully soon we will have a 4.1.x/4.2 ROM with a better experience. Wedgess is working on compiling 4.2 AOSP and i am working on porting ICS Input to JB (for touchpads), all we really need now is someone to sort out the proxy sensor / DASH stuff :P

Thanks a bunch J for all your work you have gifted to us!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
there are several reasons that we use those 2 file sharing services

and we thank to all users which mirror our work and share it on different servers

- both sites offer unlimited ul/download speed for registered users

- both sites offer ftp management / upload (we can upload from build server)

- we don't ask for money for server maintenance/upgrade (1 sever costs x000 euro)

- we don't ask for donations but those are greatly apreciated @20euro/month

- somebody has to pay the bill for energy - server uses @1kw/h*24h*365 days (every download you make is counted and @1000 downloads we get 10 euro/dolars)

- the price you pay -PATIENCE-
[Xperia Play Android Development] DarkVarano:
Do I have to do something specific for videos to work ? Because I still cannot watch any videos for more than 2minutes with the default kernel and fxp147..
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Try enabling "Disable HW Overlays" in Developer settings and share your results.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DarkVarano:
No, still the same problem :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] RamonVNL:
so the xperia play isn't getting any updates to cyanogenmod in the future? in that case thank you guys for everything you've done! :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
That is for newer android OS....

So CM10,CM9 and CM7 will still be updated if necessary
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
WHY!? WHY THOSE WEBSITES!?! uggg! it makes my super fast internet look like S#@T!! those websites are slow! there are many other sites out their mediafire, rapidshare, 4shared, 2shared!
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Dude, are you seriously or being ironic?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Dude, as J said - those sites offer FTP upload/download for premium users. If they used another service without FTP support, it would take days to upload all the builds and weekly releases would be dead.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Just be happy weekly builds are being uploaded by developers for us to use which they do it out of interest and for free. They do it in their own free time so do not complain..
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
oh premium members only ok never mind ill move on. thanks anyway
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Hi all,

Can you guys tell me what the problems currently are for this rom.

I want to try to fix some bugs that are left.

Nick
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
The bugs I know is:

Camera doesn't work (wedgess did the legacy camera works and posted this tutorial, but the preview on the JB camera still doesn't work)

Touchpad generates lags in some apps (CosmicDan knows more about it and doing this fix the recognition is greatly improved). Apps I know we can feel this lag: FPSe, Fifa 10, Lara croft guardian of light and Modern Combat 3

PS Pocket games crashes. Here you can take a look in the logcat of the FC when I tried Crash Bandicoot. Looks like the libc.so have the function __div0 in the ICS version but not in JB. (I found __div0 in the libc.so binary of CM9.1, but no in CM10. Also, I found this function list, but I couldn't find nothing in the sourcecode in the GB, ICS and JB branches. But, idk, Idk know much about this and I can't understand right now how this libs is compiled)

I think we have some problems with volumes but In some customs ROMs the devs got some advances in this, so, idk.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
i doubt i will get an answer, but kind of problems would happen if the kernel was not updated?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
speed decrease.

more bugs

instability

and a lot more
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
You know, cj360 did a very smooth port of a JB ROM here. I didn't feel any speed problem while was using this ROM with Dan's kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] f3w1n:
Its build from source :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
i saw the reasons for using uploaded.net, but am wondering if plowshare would work to upload to a different site?
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Cm10 is built from source as well.

Dude, just let it go. Their have their reasons to use uploaded.net, is irrelevant for the development of the project the change of server. I really think here is not the place to discuss this. It's a team choice, they need to discuss this for their own, internally, and too many people already complained about that and the final word is already said, so, it's like come back in a same theme over and over that not have nothing to do with the development.
[Xperia Play Android Development] aDigitalPhantom:
then why are you discussing/arguing over it?

i was not and am not complaining, i am simply being curios.

did you read the post on page 62?

edit i also dislike being flamed for being curios enough to ask a question.
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Each one. And they choose one already. There's no reason to change it
[Xperia Play Android Development] MirrorOfTruth:
I'm having a few issues with this ROM.

I'm on the latest release, runs smooth, but as soon as I put my 32GB SD card in the phone decides to just slow down!

Apps open sluggishly, freezes and if I even let the phone auto-lock, I CAN'T GET THE SCREEN BACK ON WITHOUT A REBOOT!

CM10 has been nothing but issues for me so far, any help/suggestions?

EDIT: I just mounted /system, after the PACMan ROM requires a format of it, also, will "Fix Permissions" help? (((I'm an Android n00b >_<)))

EDIT 2: Reverting to stock GB for now, I actually want to use the phone without issues. xD
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP148 released
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
is videoplayback fixed??? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] rashid.fairus:
never have that issue since 140
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
so it wont crash, while watching videos? ??

i had this nasty problem on pacman, which is based on this
[Xperia Play Android Development] rashid.fairus:
just a sweet reboot when playing too long..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
hmm ://

thats whats annoying me

i often watch videos and those are quite long ...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Doesn't happen on SlimBean or Turbo UI.

[Xperia Play Android Development] NRoach44:
Can we get WiFi hot spot working please? That is pretty much the only reason I'm still on CM9.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
If using ics beta resources is what's slowing down (or stopping) dev for Zeus, then why not use Neo L (phoenix) resources? Doesn't it have the same hardware? (Obviously, except for gamepad)Also since phoenix is a 2012 device Sony is still updating it.

It is just an idea, don't shoot if its silly >…<
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Not really, no. Because this is Jellybean, all the CM10 issues are Jellybean specific. There isn't anything to update from Sony sources because most of the important stuff is proprietary and not open source (xLoud, Touchpads, etc). As for proxysensor, I'm not sure of the situation with DASH and FreeXperia.

Also, Neo L is a 2012 device true but only by release-date; no msm-7x30 ever get Jellybean by the look of it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Which is kinda sad, cause if just one device was to receive the new proprietary drivers it would help out a lot of the xperia 2011 line. But we know counting on Sony to help us is pointless.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Guys i downloaded CM10.0 FreeXperia and i flash the kernel from the zip then i open my phone but nothing it freeze why?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NRoach44:
We will need something a little more detailed than that to help.

Did you flash the .zip as well, what do you mean by it freezes?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
I flash the boot.img that is in the zip the kernel i mean and then i reboot and nothing,then i flash again the kernel from cmfreexperia 9.1 and all ok
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
That's not normal. I got a feeling that you are mixing things up!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Pls post the steps u used. I suspect u flash kernel, but did not flash rom (which is the zip)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
So here what i do

I flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced_v2 for fresh install then i flash the kernel from frexperiacyanogemod 10 zip rom and then i open the phone and nothing just black screen
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Flash .64, not that nonsense.
[Xperia Play Android Development] GoJo ^^:
I'm finally going to install this today. So is FXP137 still the last one that supports camera such as ICS+ camera? Also I got Lupus installed on the play now, is it compatible or should I install another kernel?

[Xperia Play Android Development] rashid.fairus:
camera and vids recording ok?

edit : in changelog i always see "all 2011 except Play",may i know why??
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
I think the play have a little distinct

Hardware from the other 2011devices. While most fixes can work with everyone except the play, our device demands specific treatment. I think the camera is one of the distinct hardwares
[Xperia Play Android Development] RamonVNL:
anyone already tried it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
because play has different hardware
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rox598:
Everything seems fine on my end. camera fully working no lock ups, fast so seems good!

@FXP know you might not be able to say but how is 10.1 looking for the play?

installed it, camera etc. works!

also it works so incredible smooth, daily driver.

Which of one between cm9.1 fxp149 and cm10 fxp 149 is the most stable and daily driver rom? I am so in love with cm9.1 currently but would like to check cm10 as this have jb project butter.... Thanks in advance...
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
No it doesn't.

Try it yourself and see. As with most custom ROM's, YMMV.
[Xperia Play Android Development] andiemerchcomia:
will try it now. if anything fails then ill be back to cm9.1

Did anyone try to play games with this roms?

Simple games like Jetpack, NES/SNES/PSX emulator and etc?

It's the same

was able to flash it with the provided kernel. everything works well... i just need to flash it from stock GB hongkong then the rom and kernel.

anyway, i have found a bug in the display brightness. i slide the display brightness to full and unchecked the automatic brightness... the display is dim and when i go to bright environment the screen brightness gets full adn automatically adjust by itself.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Download auto brightness toggle from the play store.

Heya J,

Solving touchpad lag is easy, tested working OK here.

I tried the recommended "typical" 128 but only reduced lag slightly. 512 seems to completely eliminate it.

frameworks/base/libs/androidfw/InputTransport.cpp:

// Socket buffer size. The default is typically about 128KB, which is much larger than
// we really need. So we make it smaller. It just needs to be big enough to hold
// a few dozen large multi-finger motion events in the case where an application gets
// behind processing touches.
//static const size_t SOCKET_BUFFER_SIZE = 32 * 1024;
static const size_t SOCKET_BUFFER_SIZE = 512 * 1024;

Enjoy :)

EDIT: 1024 is a better result, 512 still has lags after touching the pad for a few seconds.
[Xperia Play Android Development] andiemerchcomia:
hopefully this version has better brightness display control... am having a hard time using the phone because the screen brightness
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Hey J just some more info - touchpad fix is only half done and not perfect yet. I will implement method to set "legacy touch" via build property when I solve it so its device specific. If it looks good to you then you can submit patch to cyanogenmod. I will share final work when finished.

Sent from Xperia Play (R800a) with Tapatalk
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
when you are ready push to cm
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Well I've found that the socket buffer size actually has no effect. I forgot that I had this in my build.prop:

debug.inputconsumer.resample=0

Which helps improve the touchpad performance issue, but not solves completely. No source patch required for that - works on any JB ROM.

I am working on merging partial ICS Input code to try and solve for real, but that is a pretty dirty hack (if it even works).
[Xperia Play Android Development] xXDrAgOn360Xx:
