When i installed Official ICS Test Release Xperia Play this morning I got superuser working. I dont know if this is a bug or not but when I allow app suchas titanium backup with superuser permission. I used titanium backup app and it worked flawlessly. However when I want to use the app again superuser started asking permission again for the same app. (As if I never gave it permission before) The same situation keeps repeating for my other apps that require superuser permission.

I have made a fresh install and now everything works great but...... I have flashed a .62 ftf and then install ICS and now I can't install nothing to /System/App/ (link2Sd or Talk.apk for example) because the memory Rom is full. So definitely we need to flash a .58 or .58 enhanced v2 ftf because this ftf has and extra Rom space, 400 mb of Rom space I think. Going to re flash again :*)

Updates??

Sorry guys, I've spent the last 2 hours reading thru all of the post, and only found Patch #1.. I read that there were 3 updates.. Can anyone give me the link for the other two???

And what about kernels? already tried advanced stock kernel and my play was very sluggish... Everything worked fine, but the lag was enormous.. Wich one is the best?

Thanks in advance

Just one thing, rom is working fine (with some lag) with baseband .74... Just found out that exists :confused:

Update 3 was renamed to Final version so you don't need the updates, only Patch 1 that is a little bugfix update for the final version.

I recomend you Lupus kernel because improves the overall smoothness of the system.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blizzard89:
No, only one update... All other were the Beta Rom, now it's final

Sony helped mark with this ROM?

Granted, mark probably did do most of the work but still, you shouldn't be so negative towards sony.. Afterall, they are a massive corporation that is involved in many different industries... It was probably that developing ICS for Play until it was fully usuable as a gaming device running ICS was too costly (not talking just 'money-wise' either), or they would have made a loss.

I feel your pain, honestly, I was looking forward to ICS right from the moment it was officially announced, and equally appalled when it was removed from the list of 2011 devices to get ICS.. But come on, you have to look at it from their side too... Think about it from outside of the box

Edit: really should update my signature lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] FRKD:

if I have update 2 installed from the old rom, do I have to wipe everything to install the final rom?

Hey all, hopping over here looking for an ICS rom to install on my mom's XPlay, and i just thought id ask a quick question:

it seems this rom is themed away from vanilla ICS. is this correct? and would there be any way to theme it further?

sorry if this question's been asked before, or if it's a silly question, this device is pretty far away from my moto droid 4 xD

First of all I would like to thank you Mark for what you have done to Xperia play ICS for making dreams come true :good:

But I think I have some concerns regarding the ROM

- the rom is little bit slagish, I tried all 3 kernels and even came from clean installation but still slower than GB.

- the /system partition memory is too law after flashing the rom, need to remove some apps and or musics to update busybox!!

- the battery % numbers are too small in status bar.. so if you don't mind I made some edit to SystemUI to have big nice battery %, this mod can be flashed by cwm.. also I attached a restore file if at any time want to revert back to your stock battery.. (if you like it, you can include it in your next release :laugh:)

See the pic
[Xperia Play Android Development] Devedue:
Can't find any music player or walkman app.

This is my first time flashing so can anyone please tell me all steps what to do?

face unlock is also not working.

And whenever I open the game launcher, it gets really sluggish
[Xperia Play Android Development] majdinj:
Open any music file and it will open walkman app..

The xperia game launcher pad is still unmaped, but somebody posted apk files to replace in /system/app folder but this will disable quickpanel toggles features.. personally I didn't try it bcuz I need these toggles.. you can find the post here if you are interested..

[Xperia Play Android Development] ravid1323:
hey mark!

thanks for your good job!

i already wrote it here, i wondered if you can make it possible. when i had installed sony official ics beta, i enable "show cpu usage" and i saw, that when i slide up the slider, and the xperia play game launcher auto launching, i saw something in progress. it is called "com.sonyericsson.semcsuite.dpadservice". i googled it and found this: http://pastebin.com/ab7wPRZj (on chrome, go to optimaize chrome/ setting, and go to find and type this com.sonyericsson.semcsuite.dpadservic)

i found this: "Start proc com.sonyericsson.semcsuite.dpadservice for service com.sonyericsson.semcsuite/.smartslider.GamepadOpenService"

i think we found how to fix the automatic launching of xperia play game launcher.

my question is: can you please make it possible on the rom to fix xperia play game launcher auto launching?

by the way, the developer of psxperia, said that if there will official ics, or the gamepad will work on lock bootloader, he will can make psxperia games available for ics. he has r800at so he can't unlock his bootloader and developing with other android versions

[Xperia Play Android Development] ravid1323:
what you mean about? on lock bootloader the auto launching was work and on unlock bootloader sony official ics beta the auto launching was work also. what is your point? if you talked about what i wrote about psxperia, so i will say you this: doomloard, made a tool to convert img kernel (unlock bootloader) to sin/ftf kernel (lock bootloaders) on xperia x10. what's mean, that doomloard can make the doomkernel or the advance stock kernel, and lupus kernel to be installed as FTF, for locked bootloaders, and it work like unlock bootloaders. what saying, that gamepad and normal camera, are possible on lock bootloaders, but there isn't no developer that make ftf kernel base on sony official ics beta kernel, and not base on neo L kernel

and, i was expect to answer from mark about auto launch. and if i don't wrong, it worked on his older rom called markphyton ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdojoin:
There actually no ftf flashable kernel at all. And as for that kernel sin creator i've tried that. It didn't work. If it does i've would already share it here. Mybe its b'coz i'm not an advance dev that couldn't make it work, but still the kernel dev here didn't make it too. Just saying.;)

That rom is base on 4.0.3 ics beta. Thats y it worked. Come on...:rolleyes:

[Xperia Play Android Development] ravid1323:
there is and he here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30762084&postcount=52 why it always everyone saying me this if they don't saw that! this kernel are from neo L. and, again, that tool is for xperia x10 only, doomloard can make FTF kernel base on sony's ics beta kernel i know he can, because he did the advance stock kernel. he can and know how to convert it to ftf kernel. because he make a tool for this, but not for this phone. but i know he know how to. next time listen and read all the post. i was locked bootloader user on this rom, and i can say you, this ftf kernel is work
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdojoin:
Dude thats a true neo L kernel, not Plays'. It got problem as is. U need Play kernel to get Plays fully working. Meh.. I think there's no point reasoning with u. U the expert. I'll hope ur idea will benefit this rom dev.

[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
Google it. Only Sony can make .sin files cause ONLY they have the signature keys required. If they dont release an official update there will NEVER be a kernel for Xplay with locked bootloader.

so what is this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30762084&postcount=52 ? joke? and how doomloard made the tool for xperia x10? another joke? you don't have any base to your words. you two just need to enter here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30762084&postcount=52 there is a ftf kernel, just the gamepad and the camera don't work well because it is neo l kernel

you even don't enter to that link do you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedhusman:
Clearbass and surround effect was in the music app already. Try different baseband .62 .69
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
He is missing a file in system/vendor/etc. Just look for it in the zip and add it manually

That ftf you are refering to is made by Sony for neo L. It is NOT custom made. Neo L just happens to have the exact same hardware than our play, (except for the gamepad of course.) and thats why it works.

Look its simple, if it could be done without Sony, it would have been already done. :beer:
[Xperia Play Android Development] ravid1323:
ok now i understood. an no no one else said that. anyway, it wasn't my point from the first place. if you don't saw, i said "by the way" and again, i was expect to answer from mark only

About the adb, I have many adbs installed on the computer actually xD.

But no one is in the PATH, and in the CWM everyone can connect to the phone and works while the ROM is running when I'm on CM9/CM10.

I just made a clean install to see if I can connect, but still nothing.

Well, actually I did a change on the data.... I installed the sqlite editor and changed the android_id on the db of providers.settings (this is the only thing I need to restore successfully the token app I was talking about :3) I did not test the adb before it, just after and I can't connect while the ROM is running, unfortunately :/

How does games performing on this ROM?

I know that ICS for Xperia Play is not very good for gaming, but anyone tried GTA 3 or other games like Max Payne, NBA JAM or PSxperia games?

Thanks for info.
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
Gta 3 max payne doesnt work on ics at all plus psxperia. Not sure about nba.
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
GTA 3 is horrible... freezes the phone, but Max Payne I could play smoothly on CM9, using the new V3 adreno drivers and the touchpad fix.

In this ROM idk about performance, the problem I know with Max Payne is that the game checks the SDK version, if is above 13, then the touchpads is not activated. It can be fixed implementing the Always activated behavior in the framework of this ROM too.. It's very possible
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Okay... I did the changes on the framework of this ROM, if anyone want to try.

I did not made a flashable zip.

For now, you need to replace the framework files yourself (I did not set permissions and the fix worked for me)

Also... well, the original framework is odexed, the framework of this fix no, so, you need to delete all the .odex files of the system/framework after replace the .jar with the ones I'm providing and before reboot!

Also, you need to instal the TouchpadActivator. If you want to play Max Payne, just change the behavior of the touchpad to ALWAYS ACTIVATED and the touchpads will work on the game

After all that, reboot the fone

here you can download the new framework files

here you can download the TouchpadActivator
