Very Nice Patch 3 !!!

Good Performance Improvements - Stability - Customization

Has everything a great Rom needs.

Oops did I say that?

This Rom had it all here right since the start.
[Xperia Play Android Development] androidseb:
Perfect work mark, fast and smoother then patch 2

Sent from my Xperia Play with Official ICS Test Release Xperia Play 4.0.4 and Advanced Stock Kernel by Doomlord
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Just flashed it, great ROM Mark!

No bugs so far, I'll update you if I find any :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] sal0m0n:
Facelock is not working on my phone too...

PS: At every reboot, the "Waze" icon/link dissapear from the main screen, I have to add it manually at every reboot, is anyone facing a similar problem with this por another app??
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
How do I supercharge dis? o-o
[Xperia Play Android Development] zanakorus33:
Maybe this would be a little noob question, but wich kernel should i use for best performance and battery life

i used both lupus and doomlord ics kernels and i dont see realy big differences betwen them, thats why i ask can any one enlight me wich one should i use or wich one is better ?

Mark u as a developer wich kernel u recommend as best for ur rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
Mark put this kind of optimizations in some previous versions and finally he remove them because he didn't see any real improvement in this rom. I think you shouldn't supercharge it but if you really want to do it you may search for the V6 Supercharger official thread .
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
everything works awesome.. its was Great since the launch.. has become greater every patching moment... and has reached the Greatest level..

ONE BUG that i am facing.. MY PHONE NUMBER PAD is Opaque.. like the call list behind it can be seen through it.. and it messes up the whole view.. unless i hide the call log everytime manually.. any sugesstions ??
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
I thought the same the first time I saw it but It's not a bug. As far as I know this is the default phone app of the Xperia T and that effect is intended.
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Games

Regarding my previous post...

Games that I have tested so far:

9mm - Perfect

Avatar - Perfect

Asphalt 7 - Perfect (even better than before!)

GTA 3 - Playable with graphics set at medium and effects on low (Crashes after a while though and need to pull out battery)

Little Big City - Perfect

N.O.V.A. 3 - Perfect

Plague - Perfect

Six Guns - Perfect (well, better than some GB roms anyway)

I still have more games to test (I have around 20 in total) and I will update this post once I have.

P.S. Still cant access new PlayStation Games/Store --- GET IT TOGETHER SONY!!!!!!!! (Mark cant fix it on his end)
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdojoin:
How exactly did u get the "perfect" games running perfectly?? Just curious.;)

Regards,

[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
but when the call log is displayed behind the numbers.. it all gets mumbled jumbled.. like cant even read the numbers clearly.. so confusing.. has to be a way out.. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
Dialpad "fix"

I just switched to this ROM from CosmicDan's MIUI, and I have to say that even though I love what he did with that ROM, and no matter how much it offers, this is waaaay smoother and more of a finished product. Have to say congrats to both of you though, Mark and Dan, for bringing your genius to our phones, keep it up.

As for the dialpad, it bugged me so much so I just decided to theme it, made the buttons non-transparent and darker. I also themed the SemcPhone to have the NXT look (the call screen). If anyone wants to use these just flash the attached file in CWM Recovery, there are no bugs, it's a pretty clean and simple re-theme.

PS. Credits to w4lkm4n since I was too lazy to create my own flashable script, so I'm using one of his :)

Anyone got problem with keyboard vibrates??
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lawliet918:
just to confirm: the most current version doesn't have the xplay game launcher, right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sesamo:
I was very sceptical about ics on the play until I've tried this Rom. Everything is working pretty good, it seems very stable and reliable for me to use it as a daily driver. You have outdone yourself with this one.

Only thing that bugs me is the launcher transitions that tend to lag a bit. If anyone could suggest something for this i highly appreciate it.

[Xperia Play Android Development] yash_p90:
Yeah +1. Is it some setcpu settings that you keep to run the game smoothly? I lag even on temple run. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hardtron:
+1

I put smartassV2 1.3GHz - sio. Is noticeably better than previous versions, but still freezes.

when you dont make any modification off the rom only install Rom after boot patch 1 then 2 then 3.

say me what modification you make.

Maybe i must remove SU :P then have all the same ROM without any modification ^^ a little joke.
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
yes it is.
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
when someone have problems with the ROM plz PM me and give a full report.

what must be at the report:

What App / Game are affected

What CPU Settings did you use

what Phone model did you have

Backing up apps on titanium backup and clockwordmod, i'll give this rom a shot on my xperia play :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Haha

I recommend virtuous and noop for gaming ;)

Sorry, I meant to reply earlier but forgot..

Not all my games are completely 'perfect'.. However some run better than on gingerbread... Here's my gaming setup:

122Mhz - 1.8Ghz

Virtuous Governor

Noop scheduler

zRam (obviously lol)

1gb swap partition (swapper 2)

If restoring games from gingerbread I ALWAYS wipe their data - I don't know if it helps but I do it just in case :p

ALSO: my games are all linked using link2sd on ext4 partition which should have a negative effect
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hardtron:
You use LUPUS v11 KERNEL? I'm Doom V3. Governor suggests that you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
Yup ;) Lupus v11 (480p for more RAM - i dont care about 720p but its up to you ;) )

I HIGHLY recommend Lupus over doomkernel - lupus seems smoother, has more governors etc and is more up to date

Govenors:

Virtuous for Gaming - better for performance​

Superbad for normal use - better for battery​

Schedulers:

noop for Gaming - better for performance​

sio for normal use - better for multitasking​

(I recommend closing all apps and turning off unnecessary functions such as data traffic/wifi etc. while gaming) :cool:

.....Also..........

Is there supposed to be a facebook like button in the walkman app?

I can enable it in "Settings>Xperia>Facebook Inside Xperia", but i cant find it in the walkman app anywhere ???
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I've just tried flashing this but for some reason when installing it it seems to constantly register screen touches when you're not touching the screen and therefore you aren't actually unable to install it...

...Is this happening for anyone else?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
When did u experience this? While installing in aroma or after u installed and booted into system?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bamsbamx:
Hey dude, you should know that having zram and swap enabled at the same time only causes unnecessary cpu usage ,less performance and less battery life... Search for their definition ;)

Mark said he will not support a cdma release.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lawliet918:
I had the same issue. Messaging app disappeared after flashing Patch 3.

Steps I did:

1 Factory reset, clear cache, and wipe dalvik cache.

2. Install ROM

3. Install WIFI modules

4. Reboot

5. Install patch 1, then patch 2, then patch 3

6. Reboot

My phone has the following specificaitons:

Kernel version DoomLord Kernel v03

Baseband version 67

Build Number 4.1.B.0.587

Model number r800i

Default CPU settings
[Xperia Play Android Development] sesamo:
Yeah I had that too. I tried replacing the file as suggested on that topic but still does not work.

Now I'm taking marky's advice and I'm leaving the rom as it is. No more tweaks and mods. And honesty it feels that it performs better.
[Xperia Play Android Development] janito24:
Mark what kernel and base hand are you using to test and developing Rom & patches on your phone? I think that I make something wrong because I feel a lot of lag on my phone :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] sesamo:
I get a force close with settings, apps but only when I click the "running" tab. Im on

64 baseband, lupus kernel v11 with oc to 1500 virtuous governor and sio scheduler. I did no modifications to the rom except uninstalling facebook and Timescape bloot.

Edit: I've cleared cache and problem solved.
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
I dev with baseband 64 and Lupus v11 780p kernel.

My CPU settings 1,402 GHZ intellidemant2 noop
[Xperia Play Android Development] janito24:
Thanks! I'm using doomlord and baseband 56, I go to flash using lupus and correct baseband!
[Xperia Play Android Development] sal0m0n:
I tried with same kernel (but 420p version) and config (I was using the doomlord kernel), and the facelock is working, but after that, there are some applications missing, like it were not installed at all...

should I reinstall them again or maybe they are like hidden or something?? (most of them are user apps)

:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hardtron:
Please note, if you use Link2SD or similar.

If your sdcard partitions were created from CWM they were in the following order: 1-FAT32; ... 2-EXT (2 ... 4) .... 3-SWAP.

1 - Using Rootexplorer. Look for the script 00userinit the path system / etc / init.d.

2 - Change the code to look like this: (just replace the number 2 by 3)

if [ -n /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];

then mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;

fi;

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];

then echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;

fi;

3 - Save the file.

4 - Look for. Bak in the same folder and delete.

5 - Reboot.

Note: Probably your ext partition was changed due to swap the old script 00userinit. Make sure there is an ext partition created in the third position of the sdcard.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tikantz:
Amazing!, it works like a dream, installed it and found no issues with gaming or otherwise, great work :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
I read that somewhere else too, I'll try disabling it and see if I get a performance increase now ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] sal0m0n:
Thankyou, I follow your steps and I have Link2SD working again, btw how big should be the swap partition??? I've made it 128Mb, is this ok??

Since V2 I dont know why on every boot, I'm having problems with the "active protection service" of LBE, it seems that it does not get root access on boot time, maybe, because the superuser app, loads after LBE??

sorry my poor english :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hardtron:
I believe we do not need more than 256MB. It's what I use, and runs very well.

Guys this lag when swiping homescreens is driving me crazy. Everything else works flawlessly. Games, apps without lag, except the home screen transitions. Any help is welcome. Btw I did not do any tweaks, scripts or whatsoever...

Since V1 I've noticed quite a drop in performance on Fpse..

Klona, which used to run at 60fps constantly now hovers around 30 - 40 fps...

I'm assuming that the Areno libs we have are better for proper games instead of emulation? You can enable Hardware Acceleration but it doesn't really help much...

I've also noticed that the longer the ROM is alive the slower it gets... So i usually give it a reboot everyday... Don't get me wrong, the ROM is by far the best I've used on ICS and I, like everyone else, am extremely grateful to Mark for putting the time into getting it to what it is now. Just mentioning that for some reason the general performance is starting to stagger a little..

what is your installation version ? i'm using 1.0 that was out for xplay
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
For the ones trying to restore some apps unsuccessful.

Some apps uses "unique" information from a install for security reasons. I found apps that gives FC when I restored it, BUT, there's a trick to make it work.

On the bd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, if you go on the secure table, you can find a record with name = android_id. The value to this record is randomly generated on each install. You need to take a look on this record on the installation where your apps is working (if you have a nandroid backup, you can restore it to take a look, or you can extract it using an app called yaffey, put it on the sdcard and then access it). Then, you need to get the value of this field and edit the new bd putting this value there, on the same record.

Probably you'll need to copy the bd to another folder because the system will alert that the bd is locked. After edit it, you can replace the bd, fix the permissions and reboot.

If some app is using this record to validate the installation, then the dev did this to prevent the app to be backuped. This trick can solve this, but you'll need SQL editor to do it. I use this to a particular app and it works on every ROM and MAYBE will work with your app. MAYBE.

* How to revert old Xperia PLAY Game launcher?

[Xperia Play Android Development] EeJay:
My NOVA 3 works fine with patch 3, try wiping the data, also, I restored mine onto this Rom from gingerbread and most of my gameloft games had to download an extra bit of data (even though I already had the data saved on my sd card from using gingerbread) - maybe that plays a part in how well the game performs

Mark, is there any chance you could add the function of taking pictures with the R trigger?

I've tried using the camera mod app but it just force closes on me :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
I'm using the latest version from the Play store... I didn't know there was a specific version for the Play but the one on the store works perfectly fine and supports the controls fully.

I'm using 1.0.4 apparently...

Using this ROM all games should recognize our devices as the Xperia Play, so if the game says it supports our device, you shouldn't be having any issues with compatibility...
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
@ all user they have problems with some games.

ICS have a license check up with playstore in it ( i cant remove it ).

also when you have a cracked game/app or illegal downloaded game/app, the game/app show you FC´s or not compatible.

this is nr. 1

nr.2 i working on a complett light rom of this all big items was been removed.

also i make a V3 of this rom with addon install.

plz wait i takes some time.

Nr.3 i will release patch 4 this week.

and also which baseband and which OC settings? :)

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
This has already been mentioned in other posts, however you cannot follow other peoples overclock settings as they may be different for your device.

Some devices can achieve a high overclock on a low voltage, whereas some cannot.. It is entirely luck of the draw...

I suggest you experiment a little, increasing the clock little by little as you go until you are happy. I am currently running at 1.6ghz 24/7 however I do increase this clock to 1.9Ghz when I need the absolute best performance possible (benchmarking/intensive applications). I consider my phone to be clocked very high and you should only consider such clocks if you're not too fussed about damaging your device.

I've applied custom ROMs to several other Xperia Plays besides my own and have always set an OC of 1.4Ghz, which seems to be a fair and reasonable clock to run at. I also use intellidemand2/noop as the Governor and I/O scheduler,

What call recorder app is the most compatible app for this ROM? i've been using Call RecForge Pro and Total Call Recorder but the record output is a mess - it plays the recording but it's too slow that it sounds like I'm a deep-baritoned ogre in the recording. Any suggestions? :eek:
