[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Development stopped. Use Turbo MIUI instead.

​

Features/Highlights:

MIUI4 v2.8.10 (ported from MIUI UK's Arc S ROM) based on CM9-FXP133

Stable, Fast, Clean and Light with no bundled nonsense - design goal of a fast and lite ROM

Volume+ Mod (Hold volume to skip music tracks while screen is off)

New Adreno Drivers, KSM-enabled and many other reliable performance enhancements

Everything works (nearly, important stuff works). See the "Status" section below.

See the changelog for extended details on changes compared to stock MIUI.

When the ROM gets to a mature state, I will be releasing my kitchen just like I did for CosmicUI (MIUI on CM7 for X10) in the spirit of open-development

​

Status:

Fully working (bug reports accepted if you find issues):

Wifi and Wifi Hotspot

Data and Calls

SMS and MMS

MIUI Browser

Camera (from CM9)

Gamepad/Touchpads (Partial - working in most good games and emu's - same as CM9)

Rotation (Auto and on gamepad slide)

LBE Guard

All other MIUI apps (including Gallery and Music)

YouTube HD Playback

USB Storage

Location, Compass and GPS

Google Maps (but buggy Positioning/Compass, OK in other Map software)

Everything else? Report it if something is missing here.

Partially working or not yet working, currently in progress:

CDMA Network/Patch (R800x)

Broken (bug reports NOT accepted; but patches, help and dev. discussion on possible leads/fixes WELCOME):

Proximity sensor (CM9 issue)

Automatic Brightness (CM9 issue) (Disable it manually)

MTP (Media-mode USB) (MIUI issue)

Google Maps compass/orientation (Unknown issue :crying:)

Other/minor issues (low priority) already known are in post #2. Check there too before reporting any issues.

Download and Installation:

(1) Flash any CM9-based kernel with fastboot.

(2) Download Turbo UI v0.61 flashable ZIP and copy to sdCard

(3) Boot into CWM-Recovery 6; Format Data, Format Cache, install the update ZIP, reboot.

(4) Let the ROM settle for a bit, it will be laggy and the Media scanning will take a while to "kick in" - this seems to be an MIUI bug. Wait a few minutes, keep checking Gallery and Music for it to start filling up. Then reboot again. Keyboard does not work until you reboot once.

(5) If you want to set custom tones from SDCard, I suggest ES File Explorer for browsing to the Ogg/Mp3 manually (I've tested it and it works, many other File Explorers don't).

If you have issues such as bootloops, frozen kernel logo, wifi issues,

anything

not reported here - please try to flash latest stock firmware in flashtool and start from step (1) again! This will fully wipe the phone and start off with a clean slate, it CAN and DOES fix random issues after flashing a lot of ROM's and kernels! For R800i, R800a, R800at (GSM) - Flash Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 with latest Flashtool.

CDMA TESTING

(1) Ensure you have the CDMA baseband for CM9 - R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf

(2) Install the ROM as normal (steps above), then install the Turbo UI CDMA Patch Alpha 1

(3) It is currently in testing stages, please logcat any FC's or if something doesn't work (full logcats please). Do not use it yet if you are unwilling to deal with it not working and can't send logcats!

CDMA Work in progress I have enough logcats until next patch. R800x users - do not use this ROM yet.

Choice Tips and Tricks

for those new to MIUI:

Some of these were taken from the official MIUI English site - check this page for more!

Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved as PNG in "Pictures\Screenshots" on the SDCard.

On the lockscreen, hold "Home" to turn on the Torch

On the lockscreen, double-tap the padlock icon to toggle the music controls on or off

By default, MIUI will group all app notifications together. If you want the classic behavior back, check the option in Settings > Status bar Settings > Customize status bar notification > disable "Hide notification"
