[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I've got the blue version of that exact case, and have used it occasionally as a travel case (more protection + kickstand for easy videos). My answers to your questions below:

-It will add noticeable bulk and weight to your phone. It's almost exactly the same size as an Otterbox Defender, and will make sliding it in and out of a pocket more difficult.

-The case does not have a built-in screen protector. That said, the screen is recessed from the front of the case by a solid 1/4" or so, meaning the odds of your screen landing face first on the ground if your phone is dropped are greatly reduced. Depending on where you order it from, a cheapo sticker-type of screen protector may be included. Pre-adhesived screen protectors are kind of a joke, tbqh, but they are better than nothing and a whole lot cheaper (when ordered with a $6-8 case) than a $20-30 Invisible Shield is.

-The kickstand is probably uneven, and you'll have to file it down. It can also be marginally annoying to open up the first couple of times you try.

-I am concerned about the plastic inner shell (without any type of soft interior padding) scratching up the back of the phone over time. I've included a picture here to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I think it's actually a pretty good case for when I'm spending all day on airplanes, and my phone is probably in my laptop bag instead of my pocket. The whole thing is designed to look and feel like a cheap Otterbox, and for a case that costs $6 after shipping, there's probably no better protection out there. The things that keep my from using in on an everyday basis are the added bulk and the rough, bare plastic interior of the shell scratching up my SR.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxwilliams40:
I tried installing cwm with rom manager and when I attempt to boot into recovery I am at the android screen with a triangle. I then used rom manager to flash rom racers cwm and I thought it was successful but I got the same screen when booting into recovery. So I used goo manager to flash TWRP. Same issue when booting into recovery. I am unlocked and rooted. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Here's an idea - stop using ROM manager!

How about you try flashing recovery using more traditional methods, like fastboot? That hardly ever fails.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxwilliams40:
I'm was just following the directions in the thread for installing cwm. The directions are dated since this is an older device. That's why I asked the question. TWRP is the recovery of choice for me on my GS II.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
try this

Did you delete (or backup) install-recovery.sh from /system/etc? If not, then that is most likely causing your problem. See the "Miscellaneous" section of this 2nd post from romracer's thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sechko:
I am canceling this project because I have no XperiaPlay and it is very difficult to develop anything for this phone. SORRY !!!

*Disclaimer - I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your handset by this mod,flash this at your own risk.

Whooah this looks awesome! Can't wait to try :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nighty0:
Nice! Really really beautiful. This one remebered why I'm fighting my wife with missed calls due to flashing ROMs :)

But one thing that not worked on markpython's, WiFi Tethering, is working? He claimed that a kernel change is needed.

Can't flash any rom this week, since i'm really busy, but someone can comment abou performance?

I've used markpython's last two weeks but apps closing with no reason (maybe due to the lack of memory), specially Google Maps, and the slow-as-hell multitabbing in Dolphin (or any another browser), made me flash again JokaWild Gingerbread.

Listen to music and using other medium-weight apps (like single dolphin browser tab) simultaneosly was a nightmare too.

If someone can comment in this two case scenarios, it will be nice!
[Xperia Play Android Development] D.Spirit:
Great work thank you

I will use it when I get bored of gingerbread 2.3.4.

Thank you

Hi Sechko,

I noticed you have included TrackID with your Unlocked Bootloader ROM.

What I was wondering is will TrackID work with Unlocked Bootloaders?

Thank you for your time.

I want to say that I admire the work of sechko. I use this rom since v1 and it's really amazing! I am very grateful to sechko but I'll wait for the next version
[Xperia Play Android Development] sechko:
OK then. Try this method :

1.Download v2.1 and v2 test

2.Open v2.1 with winrar and delete customize and META-INF folders

3.Add META-INF folder from v2test to v2.1

4.Move build.prop file from v2.1 customize/R800I to system folder in v2.1

5.Copy bootanimation file from v2.1 customize/boot/JB or Xperia/media to system/media folder in v2.1

6.Move and replace any files which you wont in customize folders to system folder in v2.1

7.Flash with full factory reset and should be work

What about "md5 missmatch" issue on locked bootloader installation method?? I think it's because i can't restore ICS over GB. May be..... :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
Imo you need to be on a stock ics firmware and stock ics kernel to do that method but I'm guessing.

Maybe try and flash that neo port somewhere in the dev section and then follow the method before you give up

EDIT: if youguys want and it's cool with secko I can post a step by step tut video on YouTube. How to install 2.1 on unlocked downloader.

Tryed to post in thread looking for a fix for that but no answer... :(

Aaaahhhhmmm.... If the neo rom for locked bootloaders works ok and then restore over it ICE CREAM PURENESS will have the gamepad working? Would be possible???

To anyone with

LOCKED BOOTLOADER

this maybe helpfull to you, Its a fix for

To fix this problem use the code below in ADB. Substitute the final folder name for the backup you need to fix.

adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

When that finishes, re-run the restore and everything should be fine.

NOTE: There could be something really wrong with your nandroid, so use this guide as a learning experience and not a fix-all. Flashing a bad back-up is like flashing a bad ROM..

Do this with caution. Both myself and the OP is NOT responsible if anything happens to your device.

Cant install CWM

I have searched through this and many other forums and cant find the answer. I apologize if this has been answered already. but i can not install CWM. X-parts says it installs it, but I can not get into it from either the reboot button in the app, or powering off and pressing the volume keys. I have also tried re-flashing the ftf and trying the old batch file methods of installing CWM and nothing is working. It seems like the ftf that is provided will not accept CWM being installed. I have superuser installed and it works. I am not sure what else to try.

Thanks in advance.

So, I've given this a shot and I got to say I quite like it. Games like Eternal Legacy, Sacred Odessy, and the first Gameloft Spiderman game refuse to work. However, the others work, and the touchpads work. Emulators seem to work good. All the native android games I've tried have worked as well. Still can't get Megatroid off the market. Keeps saying that my device isn't compatible. But that's all good. Going to give USB keyboard a try with this, so I can map touchpads to the screen. Hope it works. :D Keep up the great work though! And a big THANKS to Wedges for helping me sort out my Kernel Issues. :D

Hey guys, what did I do wrong?

I have installed lupus karnel v4, then I installed this rom version 2.1

I noticed that I can't turn wi fi on, so I flashed lupus wifi modules. It didin't help

There's also no noticication bar.

Was I supposed to install v1 first and then 2.1 ?

I don't know what's wrong with yours, but my xplay is working like a charm...

I use linaro too...

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

If you use linaro, you must instal linaro's modules, not the lupus one...

I think, when you instal v2.1 you thick additional theme/battery in aroma, When I do that i get same result, after that i don't thick that option n my status bar appears...

Sorry for my english...

After a LONG time of tinkering and trying to get the ROM to work (dont ask), i finally did.

It's pretty epic, and seems to work perfectly so far...

Only thing i miss so far though, is a gallery... :(

What happened to it? xD lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
Sorry to double post but. I found out the reason why you guys are having troubles installing this. In aroma choose custom installation and UNCHECK FACEUNLOCK add on and it will boot up fine like normal. Looks like there ain't no need for video tutorial after all.

Click thanks if I helped

Gallery is called QuickPic. Some other apps are renamed as well.

I use 2.1 version and LuPuS Karnel v4 CFS.

There's also no reboot option in power off menu, what did I do wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Ah that sucks.. I totally uninstalled that... xD

Does the Camera link to the app properly? Or do you have to manually switch between the two to view/take pictures?

Don't suppose anyone knows where I can find the original gallery app?

Scratch that, I found the app below from another ROM - I'll give it a shot and see if it works.

Lolwut... It won't install? 'Application Not Installed'.

Any reason for that??

Hmm, but which systemui,apk should I change to remove any features that are not part of the ICS? I'm not quite sure of the files. :crying:
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
Go into cwm do a FULL WIPE

Flash Rom zip

Choose "install"

Choose custom

On next page make sure Xperia s lockscreen is not ticked

Now the next page is where you choose which apps you want to install. After a test I can confirm that faceunlock is the reason for the errors your experiencing. So make sure you don't have faceunlock ticked.

Choose other apps you want and I go with the custom theme as well then fire it up.

After the Rom is installed then reboot like normal. Reboot takes some time though.

Personally I use lupus_ics_beta_ linaro so right after I install the Rom and reboot and jump back into recovery and flash the correct WiFi fix/modules for that kernel because aroma has the previous release of lupus kernel modules as default. Then I let the phone boot up all the way.

That's exactly what I did. To test I installed the Rom two times in a row. First time with faceunlock ticked( no wall paper no status bar etc. As a result). Then I flashed it again but this time I left out faceunlock and out booted up fine with no problems. So I can confirm that faceunlock is the cause to improper installation.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdojoin:
