I agree its very unlikely to get an ICS update now after jelly bean was already released on other phones though it would be nice and might help out developers with bugs in the camera and other things like that

ROM: Jellyzeus

Kernel: Turbo r13
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Sony will always be a lazy ass. See how devs here almost perfected ICS for Play?

Nevertheless, XPERIA brand will always bring that upper-class look and feel to its users. So yeah, I'm sticking to the brand.

Forget about update to Xplay, though. You're wasting time monitoring this thread.
[Xperia Play General] Visa Declined:
Phones are still getting ICS updates even though JB has been out for ages. The HTC Thunderbolt just got an upgrade to ICS the other day: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...its-hat-releases-ics-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/

That particular phone has an unusual amount of ram on board, 768mb.

Is this still on??:confused: I really wonder why...:rolleyes:

xperia play question

hi guys i got my xperia play just now can u guys help me

HOW TO / WHERE TO DOWNLOAD GAMES (HD)

AND HOW TO MAKE IT TO JELLYBEAN PLEASE IM FROM PHIL.
[Xperia Play General] AudioCreaper:
You can download HD games in the Google play. You can only update your phone to jellybean if you have an unlocked boot loader. If you don't know what that is, then you should probably do some research to avoid bricking your device.
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
Since the .79 few was released Even Though it was only a new baseband version there is now a renewed hopd that 4.1.h.0.23 version will come out:) yay... I just hope Sony doesn't disappoint us again:(

ROM: Turbo UI

Kernel: Turbo v2.1
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
i love my xplay, i bought it more than a year and and a half...at this point i think is useless to buy one, cuz its now a low-end device, a ver very low end one :'(
[Xperia Play General] naruto144a:
Do you know anything about the new firmware?
[Xperia Play General] zxcvbad:
no news really. only the hope is Sony usually slow with updates, my xperia go has a same certified firmware which was certified 3 month ago..
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
a friend has the xperia GO the unbreakable phone...n guess what, the first time his mobile phone felt to the ground, its screen broke up lol

No, its not for xperia play

It's for xperia neo L. It has the same Hardware. That means you can use it on your xperia Play and enjoy Android 4!

but there is a Problem: touchpads are not supported. wait for a fix. or get markphytons stock based Android 4.
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
fawk sony ! i hate them :( sooner or later our 2.3 will be useless
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Touchpads are why people bought the phone... just unlock your bootloader anyways
[Xperia Play General] anay3000:
WOW!!!

Awesome!
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
where !?!?!:confused:
[Xperia Play General] Visa Declined:
Naaa, most games play alright on Android 2.3. Though there are some that are 4.0 or higher only.

A trend that we're seeing that's really annoying is games that only play on one type of chip set. I've been waiting for Oil Rush to be released for months now, and now that it is, it's a 'Snapdragon chipset only' game. My phones all have Snapdragon soc's, but my tablet doesn't. My tablet is what I really want to play the game on :(

It's all about the money.
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
any news guys ! any official release date !? till 2k14 LOL
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
.... This is dead. Please dont even try asking for a release date. No one will ever know
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
that was just another joke , from sony ...
[Xperia Play General] echoaxis:
I prefer cusrom than default fw
[Xperia Play General] Nocturnuz:
Lol. Sony is the king of trolls at this point. But I don't care, the dev community here have done more than Sony ever did and then some more. So thanks to all that has contributed.
[Xperia Play General] :
What about 4.0.2.A.0.84 FW certified Mar 20, 2013?
[Xperia Play General] D.Spirit:
Yea, this is a new FW

I think Sony will release it officially as they made the official flashtool support R800i
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
What will that be, an official ics? Is it possible that it's jelly bean... Lol probably not. I think the best possibility is that it'll be gb 2.3.7. Too bad its only releasing for gsm versions :(

Edit: off it even releases

[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
so, is it going or not going to be release ! fawk !i want an official release !
[Xperia Play General] NeostarNeko:
I hope they release it, just don't include any operator bloat please Sony. make it lean
[Xperia Play General] DiKeJ:
Do not believe in it, it the same 'true' as Daxter or few other games by Sony for Playstation Certified devices like Play..... If I were you, I will forget, sorry :(....
[Xperia Play General] ultima.omega:
i guess we are gettiing the baseband updated ,dont get ur hopes ,whats the deal with these updates with baseband
[Xperia Play General] sdojoin:
Todays network is a bit diff from the previous. The old baseband may not giv the same network perf, ergo the updates.;)

Regards,

Sdojoin
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Anyone whose used the new baseband can you give your thoughts on it? I mean is there a stronger signal, bettery battery life, etc

!
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
is the update online !?
[Xperia Play General] ultima.omega:
thanks for the info :good: ,but wont there be any issues with custom kernel and nandroid backup and restore
[Xperia Play General] sdojoin:
Yepp. The signal is definitely improved. Baseband-80+libs.:p

U can download it HERE & thank him.;)

Doubt it. Coz i already running it on mine.;)

thanks :good: sdojoin
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
Can we use baseband from r800i on the r800x? :p probably not since they use different networks but im asking anyway :D

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Unfortunately no, as you probably and already know, R800x is Verizon's CDMA network, while the rest of the XP line is GSM. I may be wrong but I dont believe its possible, well you can try and flash it and see what happens but it may do one of three things.

1 Work

2 Not Work

3 Boink you phone and you have to FTF back....

If you should try it though please report back. But do remember to make a nandroid backup so you can restore if you have to.
[Xperia Play General] vokal1992:
I belive the "H" Letter doesn't mean it is a Beta, because other devices use other letters beside "A" or "B", for example some Arc S and Live with Walkman firmwares use the letter "L" or "K". I may be wrong, but the "H" means it is a specific ICS firmware for the Xperia Play
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
i dont understand, the update is live, what does it do ? does it add major stability or at least abit of speed ? my phone is slow as hell..
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
i've read the newest GB .79 can be downloaded and it has a vendor partition like the ics ones (or was it there already?)

why can't we find the newest ICS builds anywhere?

is there a plan to transfer our play softly to ICS? i doubt we will see any official update and the newest GB perhaps has something to do with repair service.
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
totally agree...im looking for an official update without result
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
Do u mean you want some sort of a "stock sony ics" for Xperia Play?
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
well yes, a proper ics that's meant to work like it should.

open source drivers for our hardware also wouldn't hurt ;)
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
Well we already have Hybrid Rom that is 99% flawless. Or u just want a stock ics xperia 2011 for our Xperia Play? If that's so, i have a personal rom wich is basically like that, if u want i can share it with you
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
well i had hybrid rom installed for more than 3 days. it's one of the best ics for our play but for everyday usage i have to admit it does not meet my needs.

apex launcher does not show any icons under rarely circumstances (noticed this in have usage, just forceclosing it helped). sure another launcher like zeam and i'm good to go.

had pattern lock activated. sometimes the normal slider came up and then the pattern lock. i hate this behaviour in GB and i installed ics because of instant pattern lock after wake up.

not possible to switch tracks in lockscreen when pattern is active. also annoying for me because all the fake lockscreens that come with other players are garbage. they prevent the lockscreen and the display stays on as long as it's set in the system options (normal lockscreen goes of instantly to save battery life).
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
can you use the pad buttons, front camera, bluetooth n wifi ? i read somewhere that there are roms that have probs with thta...it its useless if you cant use the buttons
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
everything worked. otherwise it would have been posted in the thread.
[Xperia Play General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Guys u can try XPlayStation rom,its based in ics beta
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
so is hybrid rom and xperia play z
[Xperia Play General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
No Xperia z or hybrid,based on stock
[Xperia Play General] gac3la:
does everything work as normal !?
[Xperia Play General] ch3mn3y:
Like all customs. Gamepad is thanks to farenheit's mod. And its probably based on stock neo l (like smart rom if its not smart rom)

Nope
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
Lol...
[Xperia Play General] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks for the reply but i'm not quite sure i understand to be honest. Will i be able to get the benefits of the firmware update whilst sticking on my current ROM and Kernel?
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
No to see the benafits you would need to update your kernal and Rom (If sony release the source code for new certified firmware). Your Rom dev would most likely update his/her rom if this is made available and are still active in maintaining it.
[Xperia Play General] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks again. Basically i just need to flash a new ROM and Kernel, right?
[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
How long does it usually take before Sony releases the FW to the public, after it has been certified on http://www.ptcrb.com? Anyone knows?
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Certainly possible its ICS, but also with the release of the official Xperia flash tool this could be an optional ICS update...
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
With Sony Ericsson it was normally around 2 weeks after being seen on PTCRB but as it is now just Sony things have changed and its very random. The hole of 2011 devices and now 2012 devices are due for update's so Sony will roll them out in different time slots to save their servers from overload. Don't expect to see this before next year if i was you and thats only if Sony do choose to release it to the public.
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
Where ave u been for the past 2 months? CM9.1 it's perfect even for the touchpads, just use farenheit fix. The only thing not working now is proximity sensor, wich is solved in the next fxp151, available from tomorrow.

The markphyton one that has bugs and not stable at all! I dont understand why markphyton rom is so famous since is very unstable and buggy, i already tried is new ICS NXT version...even more bugs
[Xperia Play General] yekasangredevago:
The funniest serious from Sony, that after almost a year are killed developers working on a ICS Rom perfect, and now they decide to get an official update to ICS. :cyclops:
[Xperia Play General] ps2stuff:
Show some gratitude mark's rom is a great success he finished what sony started it is a great rom you should be thanking him for that I have used his rom and did not find it buggy at all, cm9 is also great, it's great to have a choice of ics releases for our device dont put down someones work because you like someone elses better both roms have their pro's and con's they are both great

edit

It would be great to have an offical ftf version of ics, updated gingerbread cant see much of a point in, jellybean would make me buy sony everything
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
I wasnt talkin about markphyton itself, his passion or whatever. I was just talkni about the rom itself, his quality respect cm9.

Dont take it so personal man. I used to use markphyton rom too. But after 2,3, 4 patches, ver 2, ver 3, xloud problem, lock screen no in landscape, poor internal memory, heavy ui, go to system/app and replace with bla bla etc etc i find myself more confortable with just flashing cm9 and nothing more. Imho. And tomorrow will be 100% functional with proximity sensor tooo
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
CM9 Lags though.... Even jellybean lags less for me..... lol
[Xperia Play General] Jay Ros:
I agree, after several patch and updates i'd rather stop trying, there's always something wrong.

And sadly, almost every new rom is always missing something, i just read that jellyseuz (to give just an example) wont have 720p recording. CM9 wont have xloud. Little things that not every people use, but some of us really need.

I really hope a fully functional version of ICS in this new fw :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
I bet u didn't flash New Adreno drivers for ICS...of course is laggin man

For some reason FreeXperia doesn't include CM9 already with those drivers, dunno why... (JB has his own drivers...)

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Yes i forgot xLoud. I think there's a way to activate it, with or Pimp My Rom app or ACìD Engine app, don't rememeber wich one, i think i tried once...but was a long time ago, i really didn't care too much since the volume FOR ME is just fine, even without xLoud...
[Xperia Play General] SenseOffender:
I've got the Verizon Play, and I've just been waiting for an update to fix the Google Sync issues that rendered my Play Music and Gtalk apps completely useless. :( Any chances it could somehow benefit me?
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
No they were flashed. CM9 is just laggy
[Xperia Play General] serialkillazzs:
Just hope the baseband on this is optimised fully 2g and 3g and functional new gingerbread lease with quicker play market apk

Fingers crossed ;)
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
I still fail to understand the supposed brilliance of ICS.

If it is an ICS update, I wanna be here when people start posting game compatibility issues.

Theres apps that do alot of what ICS does anyway and for visual changes just by TSF Launcher or something.
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
For me CM9 is more smooth even of GB stock...dunno man...are u sure u flashed New Adreno 2xx drivers ICS Ver.3?

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Let's imagine that, for a miracle (a big miracle...) Sony really decide to give us a ICS upgrade. Since even CM9.1 doesn't have big game compatibility problems, i don't think we will have them on an OFFCIALE UPGRADE of Sony, it will be absurd.

But again..comon guys, do u really think that after so many months, Sony really spent time and energy on a ICS upgrade for a old device wich is Xperia Play? They probbably working a Xperia Play 2 by now...
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
As is stated in poo-tangs article link. It lists two firmware branches. One looks like a GB firmware the other could be anyones guess.

I fail to see that Sony would release ICS update after all this time. These are just my thoughts.

Now for people to talk back and forth about ICS update and or GB...

I just say wait and see. We will never know for sure until its released. So until then lets all calm down. We will all know soon enough
[Xperia Play General] D.Spirit:
You don't remember Sony promised us to bring official Andrdoid 2.3.7 to Xperia Play

The update will be like Xperia S GB firmeware and its features.

And maybe the new Xperia Launcer (Xperia Play Launcher of ICS beta) is included
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
We, kinda, already have that. Just flash NXT Rom 1.3 from Krisdee (look my sign)

You don't have to even unlock bootloader, because it works on base stock kernel...
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Itd be F***king awesome if by some luck sony actually pulled off jellybean. In my dreams lol
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
4.0.2 = Gingerbread

4.1.B = ICS

4.1.H = JB
[Xperia Play General] serialkillazzs:
Would be good to get new camera with hd recording like sk17i
[Xperia Play General] mathacer:
I remember that neo L get build 4.1.H.X.XX for ICS, maybe that's ICS fw...

I hope it release soon, n developer can get their job with new update...
[Xperia Play General] D.Spirit:
You're right

But I mean "official" firmware, from the company.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
I hope it's Jellybean!
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Official is nice :)
[Xperia Play General] |SavageD|:
please be jelly bean, please be jelly bean, please be jelly bean >_<
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
But in reality I suspect a gingerbread update and an optional ics(Very low chance for jellybean but maybe). We'll just have to wait and see... :)
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
If it is Jellybean then my Balls will drop! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
I hope I'm wrong but it looks like us x users will be left out again. Please verizon give us a break!
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Somewhere about 5 months ago VZ announced they would not update the xperia play beyond the broken 2.3.4 they f*cked up on.

Highly doubtfully VZ is even looking at our phone. This would be direct from Sony. And seeing how only VZ has access to the closed cdma files.....yeah. R800x users are on the side lines again.
[Xperia Play General] jcarbox:
I haven't any hope about a new official ICS/JB for XP but, if we accept our crazy theories, a JB rom makes sense because it can give more performance to the XP than ICS.
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
Omg some of you guys really think it could be jelly bean? Lol

ICS is possible though... but strange sony didnt make an anouncement if they decide to update the play to ics...
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
I hate skeptics. Just find your happy place and believe man....
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
Dream on guys

i'm sure the xperia play 2 is coming (( xperia PS )) ...

but i'm not sure that this update is JB , maybe that is a new customized frame-ware that will be use on xperia play series ... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play General] popeye007:
Maybe it's a GB update with psp emulation or psp os dualboot. Haha. Just keep on dreaming. :):):)
[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
Don't get your hopes up too much, you may risk to get disappointed when Sony either doesn't releases any SW or does and it's just a minor fix...
[Xperia Play General] DiKeJ:
Correct. I'm not saying it's not ICS or JB, but don't wait for it every day, every hour.....It's useless. If they will relase new Android - good. If not - we always have XDA and Custom ROMs, and GB is still the best for gaming for XPlay. :)
[Xperia Play General] Slothboy:
Well, I'm going to boldly go where no one has gone before and bet that it's JB, just for the hell of it.
[Xperia Play General] LG_fuad92:

I will flash stock firmware then relock my phone bootloader and wait to recieve the update
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Just to let you guys know ICS sucks I have it on my tab and my ion its laggy and doesnt bring much to the table except graphical updates and some orginizational things.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Agreed, that's why I'm hoping for jellybean. Lots of nice features.
[Xperia Play General] Deshabilitado:
Yeah ics is more like a beta from jb ...

Someone tells me that is it?

I've seen this in another post on this new firmware that emerged: :confused:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...s/open-source-archive-for-build-4-0-2-a-0-84/

I do not understand, which is supposed to be?

A Firmware, or source code for developers?

Suspense is killing me, it's not what they're up to these from Sony.

Ah, XDA friends!

do not forget that Sony already contract with Ericsson to end!

So, Sony layers on their own take other decisions with regard to the Xperia. And maybe they decide to please the Xperia Play users. (God I hear) :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
Good find :D

Looks like our play is getting ICS after all.
[Xperia Play General] Depump:
ics for play by sony

really ?
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Don't want ICS. I want JB!
[Xperia Play General] mathacer:
I want new feature, that's all..

I don't care about ICS or JB or GB after all...
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
And u will lose compatibilty for alot of games by updating the play cant really handle ics properly there arent any new features worth mentioning . gb is much better for the play no idea how itll handle jb seems to be a really good os
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Well there is this thing called fixing problems. Anyways maybe jellybean will rock it.
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
"lose compatibility for a lot of games"?

"play can't really ics properly"?

Dude, where have u been for the past 2 months? Try CM9.1 with farenheit fix

Well this looks awesome although I'm a r800x user.....good for the GSM'ers that will get this...I'm happy on jb though
[Xperia Play General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Hi guys,my name is lefteris and I am from Greece I see all the comment and I want to say something,after from all different Rom test I was doing in my r800i play the best Rom that was working all was the DEAUFALT .62 ROM!!!I was a tester on PS3 and I know how to test a device,for example I will tell you a test that I did with modern combat 4, I saved the game at 2 mission in the state that u are with one other guy in the elevator and talking and then combo and shots.I made a backup with titanium backup at this point and then I flashed all the popular roms u said cm9.1 markpython and others,then when I complete the fresh install of one of the roms I made these steps.....

Instal set CPU then titanium backup then install modern combat 4 then go to titanium backup and restore app+data at modern combat save that was talking before,,,the results were obvious and one child could say that ONLY ON DEUFALT ROM WERE WITHOUTE ANY LAG!!!in the system menu the DEUFALT rom isnt smooth like others but in the game it's the best,I don't say it because I like the DEAUFALT Rom,I like the nice effects in ics but I want games so believe me try yourself and u will see I was right,I want just to say And u have to live with it like it or not,,,ONLY SONY CAN BUILD A 100%ROM
