You're jumping the gun, on R800x I have NO baseband or wifi (yet) plus major graphical issues. BUT there is a jb flavor Gapps on goo.im/gapps .

In other news,

GSM Version is up!!

Use attached kernel (same one as before, just making sure people know :P)

[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
I dont have a phone number with Verizon, so cellular isent a huge deal.

I'm mostly trying it out just for the hell of it :D
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Lol it's fine, I was just being silly...

Anyway awesome work, I'll probably hold off testing until the screen issues are sorted. Cheers!
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
good to hear from you, Chevyowner!!! but no, it wasn't on purpose.

*facepalm*

There are some commits on cm gerrit talking about adding semc ril into frameworks/base & fxp might've removed ril from built packages for now. I'll look into it tomorrow!
[Xperia Play General] szl.kiev:
after changing

#define NUM_BUFFERS 2

to

#define NUM_BUFFERS 3

in framebuffer.cpp

these error notification under logcat just gone

W/gralloc ( 127): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO failed, page flipping not supported

W/gralloc ( 127): page flipping not supported (yres_virtual=855, requested=1708)

also the flooding error

"E/gralloc ( 127): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO failed"

now what?? because the glitch still there :confused:
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
if you added in ics rild, it'll give you that (it's a framework/base java error related to rild, fyi) because how jb and ics rild work is completely different :(

That should've been already changed in zeus (I know for a fact it is in zeusc) which probably means that the kernel needs to be updated to reflect it!

Thank you for the idea, I'll put it together tomorrow afternoon.
[Xperia Play General] Supervenom:
I have made some tests:

Remove semcril from build.prop: --> However no GSM

Push rild from Galaxy Nexus --> However no GSM

Use a ICS kernel (no triple buffer) with JB ramdisk --> Black screen after boot screen

Compile with #define NUM_BUFFERS 3 --> not possible cause someone broke qcom-media and now it is impossible to compile.

EDIT: Another thing tested yesterday: set debug.hw=0 in build.prop --> Black screen after boot screen
[Xperia Play General] Smiley76:
Yeah that framebuffer thing drives me crazy.. I wish I had more time to read up how the whole framebuffer thing works but I only have an hour/ day which mostly goes to repo sync and compile the newest updates ;)

but a few things I have found out is that JB wants to use a an extra pixel all the time.. that is 854 becomes 855.. 1708 becomes 1710 and so on..

if you look at the top of the screen during the boot animation you can see that it's missing almost half the screen on the first line.. so something tells it to start drawing about 200 x-pixels to much.

I did also compare the ics gralloc and jb gralloc and it did look like it does calculate size/line_length a bit different. But yes it's probably in the kernel and not in libgralloc.. (but fixing it in libgralloc is easier thanks to mmm and kill surfaceflinger ;) )

Also I think you can remove the hacks I did for the kernel. The latest gralloc updates in CM10 repository have solved the RGBA/BGRA mismatch so it doesnt end up in a yellowish color anymore and tripple buffer solves that last check that I did comment out.
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
i also got the graphik glitches. but once you dont touch anything it stays still

But there is no google now in it, is there?
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
Hi all,

I am back from my holiday (what never was a real holiday with still a lot of development)

PAXCHRISTOS: what did I exactly miss?

What is fixed still not working?

Nick
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
i think the biggest problem is still the graphic/display glitch...?
[Xperia Play General] szl.kiev:
Yeah, the last commit did really break it. So just skip build the qcom/media/mm-video for a while, until they fix it.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
I've been playing around with the init.semc.rc to see if I can get the sdcard to mount, and it's actually quite funny. At least, to me, it is.

I set the path in the init.semc.rc from mnt/sdcard to storage/sdcard0, which is what JB wants now. When I boot, the sdcard still won't mount.

However! The phone boots up all the way while being connected and disconnected from the computer, and does not reboot when you unplug it. But the computer doesn't recognize it as an adb device, so I messed up debugging.

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

Data doesn't work, Wifi doesn't work, sdcard won't mount, and some really fun graphic glitches. The device boots, though.
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
We need new SemcRIL for Jellybean, probably new WiFi implementation, and the graphics glitches are horrible. But if we or FXP can't fix it, then when we get Jellybean from Sony on 2011 line, we can use the kernel sources :)
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
i thought the 2011 line wont get jb?
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
Ril is already fixed for 2011 line kamarush did it
[Xperia Play General] Sythedragon:
Not officially.

Likewise Xperia Play doesn't have an official Sony ICS Update, but there's plenty of ICS ROM's.
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
i know. i thought it is because of the officially beta from sony.
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
No, I think 2011 devices are getting Jellybean as Jellybean is less resource hogging than ICS.
[Xperia Play General] Smiley76:
Rild Works if its compiled with the rild-as-root boardconfig flag.
[Xperia Play General] AudioCreaper:
I think it was officially confirmed that xperia 2011 devices will not get jellybean.
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
No only confirmed for 2 device

It would be nice if some only gives JB for the play and the 2012 line
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
Search r.cyanogenmod.com for this string:

status:merged project:CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_media

One of the seven (eek!) or so merges is the culprit. I'll test later.

Pax
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
I'll believe it when I see it.

I was taking a look through another jellybean device and, as I mentioned in my previous post, the path to the sdcard is different. Altering the init.semc.rc didn't make the sdcard mount, but it did break usb debugging. Is it possible that it wasn't being put in the right place?
[Xperia Play General] szl.kiev:
I think its better for us to focus on solving the graphic first cause its really driving me nuts, the rest might be easier, don't you guys?
[Xperia Play General] Sythedragon:
This is Sony, they've just announced the lack of support for the 2011 devices.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Come on, guys, this isn't a discussion about whether or not Sony is going to give us jellybean, this is us trying to get it ourselves. As far as the graphical glitches are concerned, if I knew where to look, I'd be looking there. I found a lead on the sdcard mount, and I'm almost positive it has something to do with the phone being stuck in a bootloop when not plugged in to the computer. If you ask me, I would think that having a device actually run away from the computer is more important than the graphical glitches. The screen responds as if the image isn't bugging out, so it's just a display thing.
[Xperia Play General] szl.kiev:
That's the opposite with mine, I get boot loop if connected to PC, but boot straight away if I unplug the USB,

And yes you're right, its about sdcard mount thing
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
i dno what is wrong with sd-card mounting, if it is rom related i don't have that issue with my build.

also the build i use should have working 2g/data and haves sound woking.

i will test i with paxchristos latest kernel and se if it works. if so then i wuld try to fix some bugs and release it.

if not, then i will wait with releasing till the kernel bus are fixed

edit: the kernel does have the same problem:(

so see what i can do with kernel sources
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
After trying this and before restoring I tried a zip I had (just out of curiosity) and it boots without having to be connected to a PC. It was called jellybean_mango_alpha.zip and I have no idea why I have it. It still has the shakey screen glitch though, and instead of a normal touch screen it's some sort of point-and-click thing. You can navigate with the game pad as well.
[Xperia Play General] RiThBo:
In ICS develeloper options, there is an option ( at least in the sony ics beta based roms) to ' Show screen updates' The description is 'Flash areas of the screen when they update'. So, when this is enabled when you touch the screen the screen flashes. Could the be mistakenly enabled by default or something, or am i completely on the wrong track seeing as I havn' installed this pre-alpha yet.
[Xperia Play General] Streykatorato:
Nope... its a kernel bug...
[Xperia Play General] RiThBo:
Ok , sorry it was just a thought
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
ICS ROMs run with the kernel without the glitch. I would have just stayed with the kernel but you still get baseband unknown.
[Xperia Play General] Smiley76:
Hi,

here is a bit cleaner way to get the display to work without the flickering:

https://gist.github.com/3194208 (to be applied to clean kernel version without my previous ugly hacks to the kernel and framebuffer.cpp)

It's still not perfect but a bit better.. but it still complains about E/gralloc ( 132): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO failed so it's probably missing to draw a frame.. can be seen especially in live wallpapers. (see my next post for a patch to framebuffer.cpp how to temporary solve that)

as a side effect it's now flickering in recovery instead ;)
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
Can you make so that me (a noob) can use this fix? :P
[Xperia Play General] Smiley76:
and with this to framebuffer.cpp (qcom libgralloc) it's no longer skipping frames:

https://gist.github.com/3194307

can be seen on live wallpapers which now floats smooth and also the notification drawer is more smooth.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

you need to compile both the kernel and CM10.. so if you don't know how to do that you have to wait for paxChristos :)
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
allright, i will wait. no problem =)

is it right that google now is not in there yet? does it come with gapps? or how does this work?

im hitting the thanks button all the time btw
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
At work, in an hour and a half or so I'll start compiling

:P

Pax
[Xperia Play General] Smiley76:
google now comes with gapps. The first time (about a week ago) I did get it to work with voice but now it only seems to be using text..

it might be because of a working RIL and it can locate where I am (google now with voice is apparently only for US english users which I'm not ;))
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
paxchristos: to compile it with working ril:

use this: https://github.com/kamarush/android_hardware_ril

add to the boardconfig: -DFORCE_RILD_AS_ROOT

for the packages you need to add rild.

or you only compile gralloc libmemalloc liboverlay and libgenlock:)
[Xperia Play General] Motawa88:
i thought it would work with german too?
[Xperia Play General] Supervenom:
Ok, GSM achieved! Thanks to Smiley that pointed it me out before Nickholtus xD. However no data.
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
i think i can fix data.

can you also compile that libs with the fixes mentioned above?

with the command: make libgenlock

make liboverlay

and so on
[Xperia Play General] Sythedragon:

I know I had a problem with WIFI dropping every few minutes and disconnecting/reconnecting all the time. Causing streaming issues, internet issues and freeze issues if on lockscreen. Well, I have fixed this for myself and wanted to share.

To insure this doesn't happen, just follow these steps:

1. Dial *#0011#

2. Hit the left menu softkey to bring up the menu, and select 'Wifi'

3. Turn OFF the 'Wifi Power Saving'

4. Exit, and Reboot.

Ever since then, I haven't had issues. I am on AT&T GS3. If you are having this issue, please report back here with your model and if this fix worked.

Just trying to help. Good day all!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fishfuzz:
I'm not entirely certain this was happening, but had noticed some oddities. Not as bad as your experience, however.

But I did make the change to see how it would affect battery life. I am on the Sprint network.

I don't have issues at home but I do with the WiFi at work so I'll try it tomorrow and let you know how it works out. It disconnects and reconnects every 5 seconds and I'm not exaggerating either.

I am working through logcats as well. I reverted the setting to mimic the problem, and I am going to look at logcats.

If I can see what is exactly triggering it, I will make a flashable fix.

In the meantime, I have another S3 here that I have the power save off on and I still haven't seen a drop yet. So preliminary, I think this is a temporary fix until I can find out root problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I have a similar problem. Mine doesn't disconnect per-se, however I did notice while browsing through Flipboard that I wasn't getting any signal sometimes when trying to access a page with a lot of content. Page loading came to a stop. Backed out several times and retried until I finally gave up. This was on my home wifi. I'll try your work-around for a few days. T-Mobile version.

EDIT: This may be just a FlipBoard quirk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
I will try this when I get home. I have a problem on my Sprint SGS3 where it stays connected to wifi but the internet won't actually work (can't browse internet, use play store or youtube, etc). Wifi never sleeps, it's always on. It never disconnects from the network, it just stops receiving and sending data. So we'll see if this does anything for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] potentdro:
you guys dont have an issue where the display doesnt timeout after turning off the power save?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Optimizer:
display won't time out from turning off the wifi power save. Totally unrelated. I am trying to mimic the problem right now.

If anyone is having the issues of the reconnnecting every few seconds and can logcat it for me, PM me please. I can't seem to mimic the problem since the fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
It happens randomly and especially after the phone goes into deep sleep with wifi on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
Turning off power save does indeed fix the WiFi issue at work. As posted before, restarting the phone turns power save back on and the problem is back.

PM sent.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Optimizer:
Going through multiple logcats now.

I am seeing even with power saving on though, the problem is still there. It is still disconnecting from WIFI and going back to the data network.

I am sifting through ALOT of code, as some of these log cats are extremely long.

Give me til tonight and I should have a reason at least to why it's doing it by comparing on vs off on powersave.

I have a request, anyone WITHOUT this issue, can you send me a logcat with your WIFI turned on?

Thanks for this. I was about to return the phone because I kept losing ability to connect to any WAPs after sleep mode kicked in. Mine is a Verizon S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aridon:
I've seen this as well. Almost always after deep sleep. Most of the time I have to cycle Wifi to get it connected again every so once in awhile it will connect again on its own. Regardless of the settings that I put in "advanced" under wifi it will do this. Even if I have it set to keep alive never, always or plugged in it doesn't matter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Optimizer:
I still need a logcat from someone NOT having these issues.

Right now from looking through over 10 logcats, I am seeing that it's usually happening on routers that are encrypted with WEP and WPA, unfortunately the 2 most popular forms of wireless security.

That being said, users that are on 'open' networks do not seem to be losing access.

2 things.

1. Can someone PM me a logcat of them successfully connecting to wifi and NOT having drops. I don't care how long the logcat is.

2. When you post about your problems, please tell me what carrier and what type of encryption is being used on the router (if any)

I have been comparing and in each instance, WIFI is going into sleep, turning on data, and then having a problem turning back on.

I think it's an attempt to save power, but only it is not because switching from WIFI to data back to WIFI so much is a real drainer.

Still working on maybe disabling the power save by using a init.d script, to prevent power save mode from coming back on when rebooted, because I know alot of users are saying after disabling it, it is just reapplying on reboot.

BACK TO LOGCATS FOR ME. :/

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
That's an interesting find (encryption handshake may be preventing the connection after sleep) and makes sense with what I saw. I'm on a Verizon S3, connecting to a Netgear WNDR3700 router using WPA2-PSK [AES]. Until I disabled the powersave I would lose connection when the phone slept. Also, it could not see ANY other WAPs except for an unsecured router that was too poor a connection to attempt.

I'll also add that I had "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Always" and that didn't seem to make a difference; I'd sdtill be unable to connect to secured WAPs. I'd guess that setting still shuts the WiFi radio off, but does not connect to 3G/4G in its place. Kind of a botched setting then.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TimeKillr:
Yeah I hope this can be fixed through a script or something... If I do it through the stock rom, it works beautifully, but I just flashed CM9 and the *#0011# doesn't work through the phone menu, so I can't access the wifi power save toggle and the problem came back in full force...

Well, apparently, if I can push the service mode app back onto the phone I *could* access the setting, but I can't restore it in Titanium Backup... It hangs. :(

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
Easier fix....

Setting -->Wi-Fi --> Advanced --> Wi-Fi frequency band --> Choose 2.4GHz or 5GHz (Auto appears to be the culprit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
Didn't work for me. Still disconnects and reconnects every few seconds. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
Did you try both frequencies? My router allows both modes for separate networks and it works for me using either option. May also want to check your router settings along with FW.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
This is an older WAP with only the 2.4GHz band. Strangely, it actually disconnected more frequently when set to 2.4GHz than when set to "auto."
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Optimizer:
There is too many variables right now for me to put a finger on it. Everyone is using different routers it seems, different channels, and different encryptions. Seems to me the only constant is the phone.

Let me know what router you have, just the make, and what service you are on. And keep these log cats coming. I have about 20 now, and I am just now through like 9 of them lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Just an FYI, the Verizon S3 doesn't have that option.

I know this seems kinda simple, but has anyone tried flashing factory firmware through ODIN to see if that rectifies the issue? It seems to be a software issue but isn't happening to everyone, so could re-flashing your factory firmware work?

I am on Telus sgs 3 and wifi is on Auto which is useful since my router has both band 2.4Gz and 5 Gz, and I dont have that problem. I think if your router has only one band select that on your phone dont use automatic or turn off the band you dont use on your router.
