I found something that doesn't work properly. When I toggle the network mode (2G/3G) in the quickpanel nothing happens. However a long press goes to the data options as usual. Anyone else has tested this option?

By the way, amazing rom and awesome work. Thank you to Mark and everyone else involved! :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blizzard89:
I have the Same Problem!
[Xperia Play Android Development] rkdwls:
I've been experiencing an issue/bug since version 1 of this rom; the stock browser randomly closes on me when I'm browsing the web. I think this is due to full ram, but not sure. anyone else experiencing this?

[Xperia Play Android Development] jamesbdx:
And where would i install the modules with root explorer?
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Seeing releases like this is hopeful , and also reminds me why my cdma r800x has its setbacks ! .. one day perhaps ..
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
Will there be an official kernel or will it be always based on the beta?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Vicktoroid:
I just have installed and wifi is working, using lupus v5 with the wifi modules respectively, 160 mb free RAM, is very smooth i'll using this ROM these days, thanks markphyton.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paragroth:
You think this will work if we flash your own ICS 4.0.4 all works full TouchPad support + Update, with locked bootloader? or do we have to flash some other kernel and we are doomed to GB? :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Figured I'd test this since I was bored, I wiped my phone clean installed this and the r800x converter zip from Atarii & Keiran...

And texting & calling seems to be working right now (there's still the process that crashes when placing the call but it goes through fine)... I'll leave on and test more good job on the rom!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Flash tools ftf

Mark, could you ask sony to make a ftf package with a kernel so people like me, with locked bootloader and cant pay to have it unlocked, can use the rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
Great work, thanks.

I'm shocked that sony guys again work on the PLAY.
[Xperia Play Android Development] otonieru:
why don't u give ppl some appreciation instead of whinning....
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
hey Jjkkyu, your back!

@Topic, this is a Great News for Everyone, I am to Try this Later, BUT! for now i am to Try Something. will let everyone know after I'm done. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
I'm assuming this isn't for r800x/CDMA users? Oh well, great to see Sony are not completely ignoring us. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] powerdud:
Currently testing this rom on r800a locked bootloader and it is working like a charm on stock Neo L kernel

If you plan on installing this on locked bootloader this is all i did:

1. Flash stock 2.3.4 image, i used R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced.ftf

2. Turn it on so you can have usb debugging/MSC connection mode

3. Root it using your favorite method -flashtool works easily

4. Install CWM recovery

5. Flash R800i_4.1.B.0.479_Kernel.ftf

6. Factory reset/Data wipe+Clear cache+Clear Dalvik cache+

Format /system

Formatting /system is what made it run for me else i was stuck at sony logo

7. Install Official ICS Test release.zip

8. Boot it up once and complete setup wizard

9. Go back to CWM and flash Stock_modules.zip so you get wifi

Bugs? Camera and gamepad still the same?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jockard:
Works!

This method works even on sechko`s MIUI... Ah if we could make gamepads work on ics with locked bl, would be perfect
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
then someone needs to create a .zip file of markpythons gamepad fix, so everyone can have a working ICS wether it is Locked or Unlocked Bootloader.

Honestly I now have an ICS for Play with 180 - 200mb RAM Available, with working Gamepad. All I am missing now is the Touchpad Fix. i've tried moving the Files from markpythons Guide but it caused Bootloops.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaryab:
O please grow up you are new.. ....... so shhhh

i've been appreciating him and testing his roms since his v1 Markphyton ICS

and about the answer you quoted read the thread carefully
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
Markphytons ICS rom and all other fixes are Deodex

the orginal Sony are ODEX this is this why you get bootloop
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
yes we have not flash ( ftf ) kernel 4.0.4 for the play
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
no they didnt ignore the community.

Sony and the game Devs have problems with the game stability @ ICS on the Play.

the hardware are to old for many games
[Xperia Play Android Development] minipot:
By 120mb of ram is that at least or at most?

And if its like ur other one mark does that mean it has full touch pad support?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
good news :D

Hey mark

can you please add update-2 on main rom , i means that we hace ICS - ver2 instead of install beta==> boot ==> restart ==>flash update-2

i think a ICS rom ver 2 is better and faster and all wipe ( for solve that /this problem , wipe data ... wipe alvik ... , you know )problems will be gone
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kucharskov:
HEY MARK!!!

Fix this: CLICK ME!!

And Fix Minecraft PE lagging! (Before Update - it's no lag)
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Thanks Mark!!! Best developer ever!! :D

That being said, how is the gaming on this Rom?

I really want to get ICS back, especially after using your old ICS Rom ;) , however the reason I bought this phone was for the gaming (currently have 24 games + more if you include my emulators :cool: ) so I am reluctant to leave gingerbread
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
you can use this rom for gaming ^^.

i will make it better and better for gaming the next update ( update 2 ) push the game expermince with ICS in a new world. i have tested N.O.V.A. 3 and asphalt 7 without any lags single and multiplayer.

style nice, gaming experimence nice, stable and smooth. test it your self you will see.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kucharskov:
Do you give update 2 today?
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
at this week or next
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
Mark a question ..

The next update of your ROM will total support touchpad for gaming?

as Max Payne in the Update 1, I worked ..

and some other game.

Oh and one more thing ..

From what you said before to me .. then Gameloft games do not support ICS for our Xplay??

There is no way you can play then Backstab, NOVA 2, Dungeon Hunter 2, Etc. In our phone with ICS Rom? :crying:
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Haha, great! I'm downloading now :D just received my class 10, 32GB SD card as well :D

I love asphalt 7 too, so with no lags on ICS = EPIC!!!

Mark, you are truly awesome!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
the problem is: the old Gameloft games or other are not made for ICS. this is this way they doenst support the touchpads they cant find the drivers. sry but i can do nothing its the Game devs problems.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
So... anyone know how to fix the problem with SU not working at all after the update - and the update for SU in the market, on r800x with Lupus' kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
update SU binary at SU app
[Xperia Play Android Development] sasukekun67:
Nice Rom, I really like the new bootanimation :).

Just a question Mark if you don't mind, are you still working on a JB release? With or without Sony you are able to do that :)

Anyway thanks for the Rom!
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
at jb they are many driver problems :( to fix them takes long time better is than a port form a other xperia devices.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
hi hero

don't you think the light edition + keep home in RAM will make the rom smoother ( specialle swapping the home launcher's pages ) ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
Any plans on fixing airplane mode? :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
Unable to do that. SU denies itself SU access.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
It runs fine in my phone. Maybe it's an issue with the R800x version.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikexd1:
Hey i need some help here, my phone gets stuck in the boot animation and never boots, i have tried several times already

I have tried to flash .62 firmware and let it boot for the first time and then wipe and install this rom and always the same, it never boots!!

can some one help me
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
There's your problem.

Don't wipe. Just install the update on top, after letting it boot completely once.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikexd1:
Hey thanks man i'll try it right now! :good:

---------------------------------

Nothing it is stuck in the animation again T_T
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
I had a similiar issue with SU and I fixed it using SystemCleanup: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org

The first step was update SU to the latest version through Google Play. Then you must open SystemCleanup, look for SU, update its system apk and reboot. Basically it moves the update file from the data partition to replace the apk in the system partition. It worked for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] karma123:
Mikexd1 you need to flash first the unofficial test realize then without wipe you can flash the update 1
[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
How do I go about this when SU denies SU access for everything, including itself?

Edit:

This is after the update from the market. I don't get a prompt, or anything like that. It just outright denies access.It's really annoying.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blizzard89:
Is in the v2 update the clock back in the right edge of the statusbar? I missing this feature in the actual Version of SystemUI.apk... I want back the clock :'(
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Using this Rom with setXperia, link2sd (2gb) and swapper2 (1gb) , its faster and smoother than gingerbread (with over 100 apps installed!!), better multitasking and asphalt 7 is smoother than on gingerbread too! ( haven't tested my other games yet)

Great Rom Mark!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
I turn on airplane mode by holding the power button. Once airplane mode is activated and i hold the power button again to deactivate airplane mode the option is greyed out.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Firehead:
Woo! Got it working. Just had to install superuser through recovery. Seems the permissions would get messed up after patching the ROM for r800x.

What settings did you use for setXperia, if you don't mind?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikexd1:
FINALLY!! Now i have it running on my xplay :D

Have you update the su binary?

yup have update su and permissions give to titanium, have reinstalled 3 times now but it wont work right, i can only restore data only

maybe i need ro reflash this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] janito24:
Your update 1 rocks! Great job! Nice.
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
weird, i haven't had any issues, apart from the phone overheating quite a bit while I charged it earlier...

What I did was, (coming from NXT v1.3)...

1)Reflash .62 firmware using flashtools

2)Boot into system, finish setup guide

3)flash Lupusv8, boot into CWM straight away

4)Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (I know factory reset wipes cache but just to be sure)

5)Install Official ICS Test Release.zip, then boot into system and finish setup guide

6)Reboot into CWM and Install the Update 1 zip, then reboot into system and finish setup guide

7)Downloaded Link2SD, Titanium Backup and Updated SU app

8)I then rebooted (just to be on the safe side)

9)Then I went into SU and updated the Binary (twice to be sure)

10)Everything worked!!!

I've had no issues whatsoever apart from like I said before, the phone overheating while I charged it

(Maybe I can simply charge it while its turned off?)

Hope this helped :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] janito24:
@Mark i Think you can use a spanish name for your Rom. Ice Cream Sandwich en spanish is "Sandwich de Helado" but the Rom's name can be "Play Sandwich de Helado" or "Mark Play Sandwich"... "MPS (Mark Play Sandwich)" is a good name, i like it xD i want instal MPS on my Xperia Play!!

To fix titanium backup problems I have uninstalled titanium, go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download the latest superuser flashable zip (3.2 RC3 for arm), flash it via recovery, install/update busybox, reinstall titanium. Now it works ;)

Hey mark any chance you could add the updated SMS from the updates on the OP? or even a flashable Zip just for that? thanks man!
[Xperia Play Android Development] MauriceFdo:
Hmm I'm on .69 fw too and re flashing superuser fixed titanium problems
[Xperia Play Android Development] MauriceFdo:
Hmm boot into Recovery and fix permissions, then install superuser 3.2 RC3.zip and reboot, titanium should work now. Some heavy apps like BeFunky can take about 1 minute to restore. Titanium is slower on ICS, I'm using titanium pro

Mark instead of haviing us to have flash each update zip is it possible to make it into one big rom? Ever since I flashed the update zip1 I noticed once I deleted a couple of the important sony apps that was in the update zip1 my xperia play gets into a bootloop. =(

(Note: I deleted the sony bloatware and I mean all of it.)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
Yeah, I noticed that too.

I'm checking battery consumption within the ICS settings and the main battery eater is Multimedia Server, and I have not activated it. I'll try to disable it and see if this helps.

Moving SemcDlna.apk to the SD card disables this service while keeping the file in case of troubles.
