the three important things that people look for in a rom you have good flow, you have good battery life and you see something different from others, for my part proves the 0.62 firmware and see what happens .... I saw an update that is the 69 German but sony would make a good upgrade for our xperia play ... a good upgrade JB ICS or any of the 2 but having that toke GB inside .. , But would not be bad a special version of 2.3.7 with some improvements

Incidentally researching I found this page in the development of sony.

[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
I dont see where is says the Xperia play wont get a suprise update. :P
[Xperia Play General] jcarbox:
Well, if consider that Sony has announced that they will update its 2012 high-end devices AND the Xperia J... everything is possible. :p
[Xperia Play General] tezlewis1988:
It's good to know our phone is priced £199 on there website I wouldn't call that low end, same prise as the vita?
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Jellybean would be way better ics just isnt built well enough
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Ermm can someone tell me why we're getting excited about the update ? we're not getting it.

It's another rumour that's flying about. Probably someone put it up by mistake AGAIN.
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Support staff are mostly there to tell you how to add a contact or change the brightness of your screen, they don't know much about the release schedules, and she said "announced" and obviously it has not been announced.
[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
What would be the point in releasing the beta? Ppl Who wanted it, had or have it. It's still available on the site too.
[Xperia Play General] bhavei:
Id love to see the official update, and the soul purpose of the Official ICS/JB for me, is because dev like wedgess, mark, cosmicdan and other dev can use a better base package to start off. If we are to get an update, would the Majority say that they'll use the actual rom as daily driver? Of course not, devs will have less time fixing things, and could start developing better performance out of the said upgrade.

For an instance, mark is now using the beta ics before as a base to his project w/c has some xperia s and t features..

Like S messaging, contacts and home, xperia T's small app and floating apps. To think that he is byfar the 1st to allow us use the touchpad on most games.

Wedgess, was able to create most of the kernels we use on ICS and JB, he was able to combine 4 roms in one.

The JB project is so close to perfection, thanks to CosmicDan, multiboot and most thing he contributed to JB.

Farenheit, was able to help us on getting a better touchpad fix, some tweaks with the hardkeys.

This Progress that most dev. Is byfar Superior againsta all other users complain. Instead of complaining, be thankful for the update. And then from there... Our devs would then come in with a better update.

I myself tried some other adjustment on marks ics and other JB rom. I may not be that techy, but I was able to satisfy myself out of the mixed fixes I created.

YOU! Don't know how hard it is, sitting in one place, trying to fix something and waiting for a recover to finish and start fixing things. YES YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT DOING THINGS FOR OTHERS.

A base, a project and Meal to be satisfied of

[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
It's obviously ICS. The public beta was 4.1.H.0.4. GB = 4.0.x and ICS = 4.1.x for all Xperia 2011 devices.

Not really anything exciting from a development standpoint, wont help any of us in any way. As someone said once in these forums, ICS is like Windows Vista and JB is like Windows 7.

Seriously though, who cares? What's so good about an official ICS release? Good chance it will never be released to public anyway.
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
But this means sony are releasing ICS lol wish they make their mind up :D
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Yeah true, but what I mean is that ICS is kind of crap. Too RAM hungry. I'm sure you've noticed the performance difference between ICS and JB :)
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
Yh i agree entirely and yes i defintely have :D , i have also agreed with wedgess about your recommendation btw :)
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
My own sources tell me it's coming sooner actually.

*Cough*
[Xperia Play General] CrypticRook:
Wonder how many will understand this
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
On the topic of the 'PS', I'll be neutral and say it might come and it might not but I'll not get my hopes up.

I've got to admit though, a lot of Play's are starting to die now... I've had to fix 4 so far where the flex cable to the screen has worn out...

Are we taking the assumption that this ICS update will not contain anything we can use or any new updates in comparison to the old Beta that was released earlier this year? Nothing that will help in the development of JB ROMs? There's no doubt in my mind that Dan's JB ROM will be awesome once it's completed, but if there's anything that could help with its development, surely it would be a good thing to have? I didn't think the difference between ICS and JB was that great in terms of the way things work...
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
OH , Lord Dan

you have never mentioned that before ...
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Not really, no. The only major problems we have with JB (major meaning - it may never be perfect) is the touchpad and Camera. Both are closed source, proprietary implementations that are very very different to ICS. The Touchpad *may* be improved once I have time to try forward-porting ICS input, but the Camera is out of my league. Maybe wedgess, FXP or someone from other Xperia 2011 development will find a better way to wrap Jellybean camera for us... but I don't think so, because we need the sources for Camera HAL... or at least Sony to release static-linked libraries like they did for other Xperia 2011 devices (Play was excluded for some crap reason).

I was kidding mehdi :P I think Markphyton just makes these things up, that's why I said it.
[Xperia Play General] sdojoin:
Just read through this thread. Its kinda funny for those who didn't even know how to compile/decompile an .apk talking or rather demanding da best they could hav. Its sriously funny. I think this news should be discuss by dev & dev only thread. Just so they can figure out "if" there's anything that they could do with these update or "if" there's any fix or new feature that they could add on their rom/kernel.

So, to all that only "use" these firmware/rom/kernel dont hav the right to "ask" nor "complain" bout these news. Just sit back & let'em dev came up whats best for every1. We users should always express our best graditute & appreciation to all our dev thats been workin up late to bring & giv da best for users. Just sayin...;)

The xbox phone? pfffft
[Xperia Play General] SICKNOSIS:
Does anyone know when this will actually be released to xperia play users? Thanks
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
That Xbox phone **** is just... stupid, seriously Mark stop bull****ting, I respect you, you're a good chef but really? Microsoft contracting their biggest console rival... SONY!!!??????????? Stop.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
This is called a Windows Phone...
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
If they do make a new ps phone they gotta stop failing at put there balls on the line ps suite took forever and now psm sucks huge u know what. If Sony would stop sandbagging they could actually do well with gaming phones/tabs.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Well that flex cable issue happens because people don't treat the PLAY very well. I've had mine for a year and haven't had any flex cable issues cause I treat my Xperia PLAY like it's my own child :)

Mine is still going good and will do for another 3 years! yes 3
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
I was plenty careful with mine and the flex cable wore it only has to do with the frequency u open it
[Xperia Play General] bhavei:
My Flex Cable worn out after a year. Had it replaced on xperia center for $7 + labor fee from Xperia Center. Before it was replaced I saw the flex and the rubber coating is really burned.

[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Ah right... Thanks for explaining!

Why is it they wont release camera sources when they have for other devices? Hmm... They seem to have completely given up on the Play now, if you ask me they don't really have much of a reason for holding anything back anymore!

Ah well, i guess only time will tell...
[Xperia Play General] AudioCreaper:
You're from the Philippines? Never knew.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Plenty of Pinoys out here, brother. ;)
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Why not create a campaign like "exynos source" campaign and spam their twitter so they release touchpad and camera sources?
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Sony have never released camera sources for any device, except the X10. And they were incomplete.

As for touchpad, I'm not sure how that would go down because it's by Synaptics. So even if Sony says OK then Synaptics might say no.
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
They have, for Xperia 2011 except play, if I am sure I saw it somewhere on their site
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Nah, prebuilt static libraries - not actual sources. But yeah you're right, all devices except Play. If we had them though it'd probably help.
[Xperia Play General] SICKNOSIS:
Can someone please let me know when will the ftf be available for download? Thanks
[Xperia Play General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
From what I've made from this is it will be released probably early next year an someone will make it into a ftf but I wouldn't get too excited it won't be anything more than a gb update
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Err no it's 4.1 which is ICS, and it's another beta so it'll only be for unlocked bootloaders (no FTF). If it's even released. There have been firmwares certified before that were never released.
[Xperia Play General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Well there you go then listen to the dev and not my guess haha :)
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
I'm not a dev, just a code hacker :P

[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
If you don't believe it then you're an idiot, the firmware has been certified for public release which is the law.

That doesn't mean it WILL be released though. It wont, all Xperia 2011 support dropped.

[Xperia Play General] DiKeJ:
Okay, I'm idiot, thanks for claryfing it. Tell me, why PSP games certified on ESRB still not relased for Playstation Certified devices, when it was announced in 2011?
[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
I guess DiKeJ is NOT an idiot...

And guys, just chill ;)

/==(CyberScopes)==\
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Certified = allowed to be released, tested and complies with legal/technical requirements. It doesn't mean it WILL be released. Why is that so hard to understand? Since the beginning of time man has created many things that were ready/finished, but they were never unveiled for public consumption. Just because something is certified it doesn't mean it will pass all other tests such as quality assurance, regression tests, final SQA, IS0 standards, localization/market compliance, and much much much more. Let's not forget the final pre-release feasibility assessment and finance forecast.

I guess it takes a basic knowledge of the corporate/engineering world to understand, but just understand that the fact that it's certified is a *fact*. But getting excited over PTCRB certification is silly. This is like, the third ICS firmware for the Play that has been certified. And even if it does get released, it is still only a beta.

For all we know, this happened by mistake. An engineer could have accidentally grabbed a whitepaper from the wrong file.
[Xperia Play General] BryanRG1996:
there is not coming out? :(
[Xperia Play General] DiKeJ:
But this is all I'm saying right now - it is certified and written in PCTRB but it's still not relased, and in my opinion - won't be - that's why I'm not waiting for this, cause Sony made me troll few times. You said it is CERTIFIED, so you know it doesn't mean it WILL BE RELASED PUBLIC, so why calling me idiot, when we think the same way? Or maybe you're idiot too like me? About PSP games - if we take your definition of word Certified - ok - all right is yours - it could be announced but maybe never happen to be relased. But tell me - why we have 2013, it was 2011 when they wrote it, and ANY info after that? Of course I'm idiot and won't believe what Sony says/announce before I see it on my device (game, or system).

And thanks Cyber, to be with me and not calling me the person I am :).
[Xperia Play General] CosmicDan:
Fair enough, I mistook your statement as not believing that it's certified but you meant you don't believe it's being released - same as me. As the original article (and post) states, they only speculate that it's going to be released - not that it is.

Just a misunderstanding then, sorry - you're not an idiot :)
[Xperia Play General] DiKeJ:
Good that we both know now what was our first words - never wanted to argue with anyone. Thanks pal, remember to not be so fast with calling somebody like that :P. Cheers.
[Xperia Play General] bhavei:
Should any of you needs to argue and curse each other, if it'll be released if not it'll be fine too. No one needs to point their finger and say your stupid. My take to this is that I'll wait. This kind of argument are the very root why most people starts to leave. If you want it then wait, don't argue cause no one know what'll happen. And specially don't expect too much like the official ICS.

Lmao @bhavei settle down it wasn't an argument. Anyway, yes well I am sorry and I shouldn't have said idiot but maybe in future you should post complete sentences i.e. actually state what you're referring to. Not that your quick comment was the cause, I wouldn't have misunderstood if there hadn't been newbies in here screaming OMG NU FERMWAREZ 4 TEH PLAY CAN'T WATE!!!!11!!one!!!! because you would have never said it :)

You just got that from http://xperiadev.wordpress.com lol, that's not confirmation. That's just one of the FW versions certified at same date as 4.1.H.0.23 which may very well be released.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. This is a awesome community. And I also feel there's no need to argue over something that could be released or even never be released.

If it comes out then it will happen. If not then we have awesome custom roms here.

This doesn't necessarily mean a firmware update, just a Timescape update to fix Facebook synchronization.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
But from what I remember, Timescape can only be updated through a whole firmware update.
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
This does not mean a firmware update, it just simply means an app upgrade which will be available in the PlayStore most likely.
[Xperia Play General] tezlewis1988:
There is no timescape on play store I tried to get it on custom ROM and wasn't able to
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
You might not have read my post, but in the past when SE had this certain firmware update, they mentioned an improved Timescape experience, so I'm concluding the Timescape feature will be updated by bundling the new APK with a new firmware, just like they did before. Add to that the fact that there is no Timescape app in Google Play.
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
If there is a new update released will it be for r800x as well or just the r800i?

[Xperia Play General] bhavei:
Do you see the 20% that nothing would be out? Anyway your just a waste of time. No time to argue with you, i have my own point of view... And mind you, the reason i gave a gauge about the possibilities is for the fact that it's very seldom other r800 user doesn't usually get updates compared to r800i. I dont care if it won't be released its just that i have high hopes over this. I won't go rant about a fail update since they've done that way back on the first ICS. Duffs.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonMaster345:
So i finally got my new Dinc set up for roms and stuff.

In the last two days i tried 4 roms.

The first one was the mix of Pacman pons and tiny and i didnt like it much

THen i tried Pons and had a small speed issue so i went to Tiny's and stayed there happily for the rest of the day

But my problem was that the camera. Apollo and camcorder had absolutely no access to the emmc memory where i had put my songs on because at the moment i have no access to an sd card.

So i went to a stock Sense rom (Touch of Blue V2) and well, after 30 mins i took it off because i couldnt stand the speed, for some reason gingerbread runs more sluggish than Jellybean on my device, or maybe im just spoiled by the butteryness of jellybean.

So is there a way that i could mount the emmc as the sdcard so the apps could read it properly? (i might get an sd card soon)

Thank you all, have been very helpful for so long
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You can do it i think. On gingerbread you edit the lines in the /etc/vold.fstab file. You swap the first part of each line. On gb it looks like below, but on jb i think the paths are different.

ORIGINAL

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 3 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2

SWAPPED

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 3 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

This will make emmc mount as /sdcard and the sdcard will mount as emmc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonMaster345:
There is an app that does that but now i have an even bigger problem.

I can't mount the /emmc from recovery or inside the rom.

Ive been looking everywhere doing suggestions and nothing.

You think you can help there too?
