Dear Dev Cosmicdan, I flashed to my Neo L this ROM with Turbo Multiboot 3.1 and running well, Great. I hope you will fix these issues: wifi tether and USB SDcard to PC.

this is great rom dan kernel dev, keep developing dev!! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Why isn't this thread locked?

All Xperia development ended.
[Xperia Play Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Thread closed as per OP request.
[Xperia Play Android Development] whitemamba:
For me, the Home button doesn't work and the lockscreen doesn't show. But all in all, it is a great ROM. Hope to flash it after it is more complete.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Odd, works fine for me.

EDIT: *Presses home button* Yep, still works.

EDIT2:

##############################

I have "downgraded" the release from alpha to preview. What does this mean?

I am setting up my system for building AOSP and also creating my own PatchROM (linux kitchen for MIUI building). As such, this ROM is not even alpha - it's a preview - because it was a quick kang job by mixing/kanging two ROM's together - MIUI for the Galaxy Nexus and cj360's SlimBean port.

This means that a future update will probably not be coming this week, maybe next week, maybe more. Thank you for testing and stay tuned. I still appreciate the feedback and bug reports as they will help with development. Cheers!

I will be focusing on "Project Jellyzeus" for now in order to get a working pure-AOSP 4.2.1 build for the Zeus, which will aim to have more things working like xLoud, improved headphone volume, better touchpad support, proxy sensor working, etc. As soon as it gets to a usable state I will immediately resume work on Turbo UI.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solomon4400:
Wow wow wow!
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
thank you so much

i'll try it when it complete same as your miui Australia ;)

your miui is really really really #1
[Xperia Play Android Development] AlucardDH:
I can use French local using MoreLocale 2 but system ui are still in english (not a problem for me but it may be important for other people).

Some other problems i encountered :

- Strange app compatibility problem : GMail for example, i can see my mail list but when i open a mail, the app close without notice.

- Apps settings color are wrong (black text on black background)

- Speaker is too loud (Lowest alarm volume almost killed me this morning ! ^^')

- every games i tried didn't work (i exepted that for GTA3 but, Minecraft, FPSE, Asphalt just hang or close quickly)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
That's because of missing translations. In future versions, maybe you can help with translations :) I need to try and fix the need without MoreLocale 2 as well...

Hmm strange. Maybe I have a missing component from Gapps, or a Gapps 4.2 compatibility problem. Can you give a logcat of the close? If not I will have to test it at a later time.

You mean the manage applications (where you uninstall and clear data and stuff)? Yeah I know, will fix it later.

Lol... that means xLoud is working :P just lower alarm volume if it's too loud.

Strange, GTA3 worked fine for me. Maybe LMK issue, I have not tuned them yet. Try to clear memory (hold Home then press clean button) before starting game, see if that helps.

Thanks for testing!
[Xperia Play Android Development] clivejefferies:
Jellyzeus - yes please!
[Xperia Play Android Development] GTDarthYoda:
I've had this sometimes when I flash things in CWM right after I've installed the rom. I can always seem to fix it if I install the rom, boot it up once then flash whatever else.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Some carrier problems (not baseband related)

Giffgaff shows as O2-UK

XDA app crashes for me when using data (could relate to point above)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
This rom is simply beautiful! thanks man :D i really want a stable build soon :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Small update on Jellyzeus:

I have AOSP 4.1.2 building and working fine, sort of. Framework java code is broken, possible OpenJDK bug. But all libs and bins and other files are fine and make an excellent base for MIUI4.1, MIUI5 and other ROM's that are based on JB AOSP. Audio does not yet work however since I am porting legacy audio over for better volume/xLoud support.

I'm currently trying a few framework fixes to at least get the pure AOSP build to boot and work, and also porting TWRP to Turbo kernel; have a 95% working 2.6.32.60 linux kernel (no ext# support), so yeah. That's my progress from the past few days.
[Xperia Play Android Development] karma123:
Thanks for your effort, you are a great developer... i'll be waiting it
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
hey is the base of this rom sony stock or miui?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Base is SlimBean, MIUI framework is from Galaxy Nexus.

this is the best JB rom i have ever installed for my xperia play! you almost got xloud working at 100% thats what i love! and the touchpads are also working as intended for me. the UI is remarkable! i love this rom! not ot mention the fact thats it's on JellyBeen! now we get speed, power and performance! :good::good::good: good job and thanks for the amazing work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Thanks.... just remember its pre-alpha, main bug I've found is that many web apps like Facebook don't work.

yea i just noticed that too, and a app called xbox smartglass also crashes. by the way does HW overlays go on or off?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Dunno, I am using it daily but haven't had much time to do heavy tests. At least xLoud and tapatalk work :)

Yea I love xloud :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Hey Dan,

This ROM is amazing too. The UI is awesome and is very smooth. You choose a good base for this ROM, also. The cj360's SlimBean is smooth either. And you got xLoud working on it... so amazing.

You, wedgess and cj360 brought great features to the Jellybean on the play... I hope I could help more but my lasts researches is resulting in nothing :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
i don't know if it's known, but there is an issue of white text on white bg after selecting new text message/TO: text box/type something and contacts come up with white on white.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Cool thanks for the report. There are so many values to change, it took me days to edit all the layout to the current state lol.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gopin:
no prob, i can imagine. After testing roms for a couple of days, i'm going back to MIUI Australia. thanks for your hard work! (i think the feature i like the most right now from MIUI is baidu's online music) any way of using MIUI music player on other roms? apk by itself does not work. :p again Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
the rom seems to be a bit RAM heavy, about 90 to 95% of it is in use. that equals force closing and crashing, when i open facebook i monitor the RAM and it jumps to 99% RAM in use then facebook force closes then the RAM goes back to 90% My guess it in self defense the android force closes any app that exceeds the RAM limit to prevent a system freeze. We need to get the RAM usage down.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
It needs resources from MIUI framework. Takes a lot of manual work.

No, that's not correct. RAM usage doesn't really mean anything, you should not worry about it. Android will cache as much data into RAM as needed, then when it needs more RAM (e.g. for a game) it will purge off the data that is oldest. Same as Windows (Vista and later) and Linux, this has been the case since ICS.

Reason why Facebook is crashing is because of libwebcore, try taking it from SlimBean ROM. But that will break the built in Chrome.

Remember, this ROM is pre-alpha. Not fit for daily use.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
ahh ok.
[Xperia Play Android Development] d0pecr4wler:
Hey Dan,

I tried this ROM for a while

and it's really awesome, fast & smooth.

I know, you don't give much about benchmarks,

but I did some benches,

on MIUI Australia I got a score ~4500,

on cj's SlimBean I got ~5500

and on your Turbo UI I get ~6500 points.

Most things are running fine,

but when I try to surf the web,

the borwser's loading to the half and closes,

without an error-message,

same with Flipboard,

but I can use Tapatalk normally.

Playing musick and games works nearly perfectly.

But I lose my data-connection from time to time.

That's what I have to report for now. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] minipot:
Has anyone tried this with lupus v5 jb kernel

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Dear cosmicdan I was planning on starting work on a custom ROM with wp7 theme using you're ROM as a base. However I'm not sure such system apps to remove to replace the lockscreen and the notification tray also the launcher (I'm going to replace them all with wp7 themed equivilants), could please tell me where they're situated. thank you

Oh also wich app do i replace to change messaging thanks again
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Same place as any Android ROM. Don't ask me for help or claim that I endorse your kang either, it's clearly stated as pre-alpha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Quick status update -

I'm still working on getting AOSP working fully, when I do this ROM will be re-released based on it. Additionally, want to replace MIUI MMS with 4.2.1 MMS modded for Quick Reply, Emoji and Blue-on-Black them (from here). The Dialer and Contacts will stay MIUI style though. What does everyone think about that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] JunDavis:
That'd be great! I :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] minipot:
Sorry
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Don't apologize, I feel bad now lol. Your enthusiasm is welcome, but this ROM is in very early development. And all I meant was, if you don't know which packages contain lockscreen/status bar (SystemUI.apk and framework(-miui)-res.apk) and Messaging (Mms.apk), you will have a lot of trouble trying to theme it. And I don't want to be bugged with helping people learn how to "cook".
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lordomn:
I will be checking on this rom occasionally.... Just waiting patiently for the cdma version... It looks so sick...by the way...keep up the great work.

I've found a few crashes and have logcats /w stack traces for all.

- The facebook one CosmicDan mentioned earlier (https://gist.github.com/07857ed9453242200519)

- A crash in swiftkey just after starting the app to install it (https://gist.github.com/f9749289d1ffcabe2c73)

- A crash in gmail when trying to open an email with which has a JPG attachment of 1.4~ mB (https://gist.github.com/04bc97ecdffeaa7947bc)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
You've wasted your time making those reports :) I don't even need to look, all those are already fixed for first release (the title says PREVIEW in case you didn't notice). It's all the same bug.
[Xperia Play Android Development] daveh86:
Awesome.

Figured it would be better to share than not.
[Xperia Play Android Development] minipot:
after finding a theme for miui to give miui a wp7/8 theme I've decided not to try and build a rom.

in other words I think I'm to inexperienced and will wait for xda univesity to come out, thank you for bearing with when i got too ahead of myself.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Well if you want to create a ROM you got to get started somewhere. That being said it may be a better idea to start with another older ROM or another one that is out of the beta stage. And most people will answer if you ask, as long as your polite about it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] minipot:
Its also partly because I've jest started work on an animation series that I've been planning for a while and school works stacking up so I thought it best to choose my priorities.

Anyway back on topic does this rom support miui themes or does it not due to its changed ui?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
It does, but certain UI elements might look horrible due to the dark UI.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
Hello new daily ROM.

Just gonna talk about my experience with this ROM ;)

I installed this ROM like every other JB ROM and like the others the performance was worse than ICS, I wasn't happy. But I decided to put my phones screen off and leave it for a few hours after that.. the performance was remarkable! Way better than the many GB or ICS Roms I have tried!

The problems I have encountered though - Back camera seems to crash and the theme has a bit of compatabity errors.

Touchpad lags really bad though, since I dont use it that much not too concerning.

I read that there was a 75% fix for it somewhere but with so many link i dunno what to download. Help please!

Either way, thank you muchly for this ROM and hope you continue supporting it. :good::good::good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
It's only a preview release, many bugs will be solved in the next version (which will come soon after fixing Recording in Jellyzeus). Note that it will also require a full wipe, will not be possible to upgrade from r0 to r1.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Quick status update:

Next version is pretty much ready, but I am having trouble with headset volume being too low. It's the only thing I need to fix before uploading, and I've spent all day on it... I still have no idea why MIUI builds have such poor volume for headphones. *smashes keyboard*

Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone has any ideas.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Anything to do with the X loud fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
No.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Manage to solve it with some new/extra libs. It doesn't make headphone volume louder per-se (so it's quieter than other ROM') but music volume itself is *much* louder. Also, MIUI Equalizer works. Uses Beats Bass and SRS and stuff as usual.

As long as all last minute testing shows no more critical bugs, first beta will be up in 24-hours.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
Awesome to hear! Eagerly awaiting :victory:

One question is the app2sd thing fixed? I couldnt install Minecraft or games that used the SD card :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrypticRook:
Use kernel r5 to install it and make sure to move it to internal. Then switch back to latest kernel. Its kinda cheating but that's how I've been getting around it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] d0pecr4wler:
Or just create an ext#-partition and use link2sd. ;)

.:Sent from my xPlay (R800i) w/ Tapatalk 2:.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Couldn't install them at all? That's odd, never add that. But the app2sd problem is with Turbo kernel, I'm still looking into it.

If you install Link2SD you can set Default Install to "Internal" instead of automatic, I will probably make this effect on startup.

EDIT: Volume fix was a no-go, still working on it. I have a question for all potential users of the ROM. Would you prefer:

(a) Broken video recording (at first), BUT 100% working/reliable xLOUD and excellent headphone volume? *or*

(b) Working video recording, BUT 50% working/reliable xLOUD and very poor headphone volume (at first)?

I am leaning towards (a) at the moment. I might be able to fix video recording easier than "fixing" audio.

EDIT2: OK, im definitely going with (a). Sorry for not letting you vote :P I will be able to fix the camera by using ICS code. I much prefer the better audio experience.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
(a) Broken video recording (at first), BUT 100% working/reliable xLOUD and excellent headphone volume? *or*

(b) Working video recording, BUT 50% working/reliable xLOUD and very poor headphone volume (at first)?

I would pick (a) Video recording isnt nessary while volume is :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rox598:
Glad you went with A as i use my phone everyday for listening to music on the way to and from college so go headphone volume is a must for me :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Good to see I'm not the only one who feels music and volume is most important :)

Alright, even if I don't fix Video Recording within five hours or so, I'll upload a beta. Future fixes will be in the form of an addon. And if anyone is still using r0, there might not be any need for a data wipe to use next release.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
Now to wait up to 5hours thanks! :D even though its already 2320 xD

[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
An off topic question, is there any official JB on any Sony Phone?

sent from Xperia PLAY™ via Tapatalk™
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Nah. The Xperia E is due for release in Feb 2013, but it is not only a low-end device (800MHz) but running 4.1.1 (maybe 4.1.2 by Feb) and kernel 3.0.4. The later Xperia 2012 devices will probably get JB though, I don't think the Xperia S is one of them (Xperia T and newer more likely).

Sony have a very quick EOL and are so slow to update compared to HTC and Samsung.

None of this really helps us though, because our chipset is obsolete. No 2012 devices use MSM7x30 (except the Neo L which is not getting Jellybean).

EDIT: This is where I'm confused again. The Xperia Play is apparently an MSM7x30 device, but all the sites and teardowns say it is an MSM8255. The Xperia ion, a 2012 device, is an MSM8260 and is confirmed to be getting Jellybean sometime in 2013. Not that it matters, the 8260 is an S3 and very different to our 8255.
[Xperia Play Android Development] yukarundeng:
i'm from Indonesia! *never mind :p

hey Dan,

off the topic, how's the chance to get nexus 4 there in australia?

because i hardly get an answer in nexus 4 forum -___-

on the topic, i would deadly prefer music! so A it is
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
If the play is really a 8255, which other device uses it and will it be beneficial to the development of jb on play or are we still stuck?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Nearly all 2011 devices are 8255. The 7x30 is actually the same, just that the 8x55 is "newer" (smaller, more efficient, etc). So there's no difference really - we're still stuck. No Sony device on the Snapdragon S2 will ever get Jellybean - only S3 and later.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Unless I get a butt-load of donations, i'd say about 2%-0%. I'm quite poor lately :( But when I do get a new phone it probably be a Nexus. Official AOSP trees are a massive bonus.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Cross device?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
What?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
I mean will other device using this benefit development on the play or has it got to be a Sony device?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Has to be a Sony and the same chipset (which will never happen for Jellybean). Everything in AOSP works for our device already with the exception of Wifi Tether (not sure why, nobody does).

The only things that dont work properly are camera, xLOUD and gamepads - all of which are not open source. As for ALS, I have no idea why it's broken in CM10 because it works fine in this and Jellyzeus.

I can't think of anything else that Jellybean has broken, correct me if I've missed something. Mind you, whenever a stock JB ROM comes out for a Sony device, we should have a relatively easy time porting most of the apps to AOSP to create an "NXT Jellyzeus" stock experience. Not that it interests me much, but I probably will be a part of it unless I've got a new device by then :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Shaiaz:
But, but, but you can't leave the play D:
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
I'd love to get my X-Play to have NXT JB. Hopefully most of the Devs here would stay to create one.

Another off topic, microsoft is to release a Xbox Mobile mid 2013, and Sony is to Match it with the Secondary/Upgraded Version of Play. This News is of course not yet Confirmed but was Stated by markpythons, I'd post his Statement on X-Play General.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
If the play is really a 8255 will it help with porting official ics kernel from other Sony 8255 devices or will things ported over for other devices to work with jb be ported over to the play to work with jb?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Turbo JB kernel is already a build of the official ICS kernel, with some graphic code back-ported from Xperia 2012 kernels.

As I already said - everything already works on Jellybean for the Play. The only things which don't (fully) are Camera and Touchpads. These two things are not open source and also not used on *any* other Xperia device.

So there's nothing left to be "ported" from other devices. The only thing is the 3.x kernel, and there are many working on that. It's a heavy task.
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
If it is true that Markphyton has contacts in Sony,

Where did the touchpad driver included in ICS rom?

and several other aid received ah in developing your excellent rom ICS?

and I've seen his old thread in the rom (ICS features NXT). Sony will ah posted several things in the comments.

Do not know if it's true 100% news of a Xbox Xperia Phone & a PS (play two)

But do not think this well, tell the partner Mark (liar).

Maybe received the news of his contacts in Sony.

(But they are just your contacts, not (Sony) in general)
