I'm looking to buy a new phone that's different I have had galaxy nexus and note I can get it for 150 should I do it I like flashing roms and buying accessories let me know if it's worth it is there any of development or a bunch of roms developers abandoned and are the good accessories like docks hdmi out PlayStation 3 remote support just anything with knowing I like p liked the phone I literally had it for a day and sold it to a friend and regretted do please your input is greatly appreciated
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
No, you should buy a locked Play, the R800at AT&T version, then unlock its sim and bootloader. The R800i version does not get 3G on ATT nor TMobile, I clarified this here. All R800i roms work with the R800at.

The performance is pretty bad compared to newer phones, even ICS and JB will not run very well on it. But Gingerbread is pretty smooth and if you like gaming then its a no brainer. It might have problem with some of the more demanding 3D games which might need overclocking, but most can run without issues.

The Play do not have HDMI out.

The difference from this Sony phone compared to Samsung phones is flashing the rom doesn't flash the kernel, you'll have to use fastboot to flash the kernel separately for the rom to boot. Since you have a Nexus, you're familiar with the process.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I currently am with Verizon and my contract ends in 3 weeks an I bought a Xperia PLAY (AT&T) model and unlocked it... already tested with a Tmo sim and works great. Currently though depending where you live you will only get 2G (edge) with an unlocked ATT phone on Tmo.
[Xperia Play General] chiikko561:
So roms are crappy but games are good and stay away from international version
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
No but it's just the limitation of the hardware, but some people are fine with using ICS, it depends on who you ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Since Garwynn is busy with FL24 and N2 kernels at the moment I decided to make this one too.

I present the GA10 Repack Kernel with new recovery tRec_0.3.2.

This recovery has been compiled with CM10 (JB) source and works better with JB roms/OS.

The repack is not perfect yet but it can be used as daily driver as is.

I'll continue working on it and try to fix remaining bugs.

I didn't run many tests on this but since I've used same methods and same recovery it should

have same problems and also same thing should work.

So I guess you should be able to make and restore nands, flash zips etc.

If you discover new bugs let me know and I'll try to deal with them as they come.

Here is the link:

AGAT_GA10_repack.tar

Hope this will work for you guys.

Actually I made it yesterday but then got caught up in FL24 and N2 setups.

Forgot to post it.

Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I'll run through a few of the usual tests tonight if I can and more tomorrow.

Hopefully someone else can run some too. Like to see if I can get a full restore from 'zero' - full X2 style formats from ROMs to ROMs etc..

Either way I'll post the results.

Thanks again Agat. Your dedication and support is amazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
don't keep your expectations to high.

It should be pretty much same as FL16.

Only difference would be that you will have kernel from the build you running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OmegaBlaze:
Good ol' Soft Brick for me.

The good news is the recovery works and i just flashed back to stock GA10 Kernel :p

I am flashing now.... Thanks Agat!

Edit: Works perfectly...flashed from Mobile Odin....no problems!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Ive been running since release booted up fine. Only issue I had with fl16 repack was could finish back up stopped at checksum. Will try on this build and report back flashed alot of mods last night with no issues. Paid apps are still on phone and can download fine from playstore. This was tested on stock rom and deod. rom. Flashed via mobile odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:

Did you have 'Wipe Dalvik' checked in Mobile Odin? I've seen that cause that for me. I don't select that when flashing kernels. After successful boot with new kernel I've had no problems using that option.

---

So far:

Installed via Mobile Odin with no problem.

All apps working - again so far.

Wiping cache and Dalvic cache from recovery works

Created backup (It seems quicker by the way. MD5 generation took longest)

Verfied md5 (with AFV app).

Installed a few zips from recovery with out issue.

Haven't done a restore yet but will later.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:
Well, I thought for a second that this repack didn't have the same apps on sd issue as previous releases, but then I realized that I had done the power off/power on test with the cable still attached. After removing from charger and powering off/on I have the same issue as before.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Everything is working well accept I'm having the old cannot install on usb or sd card problem when I try to install or update apps. I wasn't having that on FL16 repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
Just tried to flash this through Mobile ODIN Pro, got into a bootloop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Interesting.

I did flash it via Mobile odin as well phone did boot without any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
It actually got past to the screen where it asks for my GMail account, once I'm about to press yes, it reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Flashed repack with mobil odin with dalvik checked off like always and recovery is working. I was able to perform a nandroid backup and after that i flashed Jellyverse Entended toggles, FL16 call record and Kobridge's bloatware remover no backup version and stock GA10 kernel wiping cache partition with dalvik cache and booted just fine. I will get back with more test results...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Using Agat's GA10 kernel repack, I have restored a nandroid, flashed Kobridge GA10 ROM over top, Kobridge stock bloat remover, Kobridge system app backup tool, Kobridge CSC tweak, Kobridge tweak A, Tdunham's extended blue toggles, Tdunham's extended menu, Tdunham's AIO MOD.... (all Tdunham stuffs was from Jellyverse 0.4 ROM).... and probably something else in forgetting..... and they are all playing very nicely together with Agat's GA10 kernel repack.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I think people are getting stuck at boot because they are checking 'wipe dalvik cache' in Mobile Odin.

I had that happen before on other earlier kernels. Then had to use PC Odin or one of rwilco12's One-Click Kernel jobbers to get it to boot.

But since then I've made sure that I don't wipe the dalvik cache on the kernel flash and all boots no problem. After that I can use Mobile Odin or recovery to wipe the cache.

Just putting that out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:
I had something similar happen to me back on the FL16 repack. Trying to reproduce the issue, I PC odined back to stock tar, odin one clicked back a recovery kernel, restored the rom I was using, then restored my nandroid backup, then tried the very same FL16 via mobile odin that gave me the boot problem in the first place, and it worked fine...

One click to recovery causes yellow triangle, so had to use triangle away afterward, but all is good now. I'm not sure why it happened the first time, but I assumed that my phone was just in some sort of odd state before I tried it the first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I guess all devices are not all in the same i been using dalvik with mobil odin since day one and no issues but i guess to avoid any problems fellas dont check dalvik whe flashing recovery...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
Yea, I checked Dalvik, will take note to not do that.

Nonetheless thank you, Agat, for providing this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I was able to restore my nandroid backup no issues...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
When I check wipe dalvik, it boots up just fine, without wipe it gets stuck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:

I guess it's just working different on different phones as someone else said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
It probably depends on where your coming from ics jb what not why it would be different for people.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A10Loogie:
Hey fellas! I've been hanging on to Calkulins 1.6 ICS for a long time, but I think I'd like to jump on the bandwagon here. I'm running Rogue ET 1.2.3 (CWM 5.0.2.8) recovery. I'm trying to figure out how to go about flashing this. I've read tons of threads, but I'm still not quite sure about the sequence to keep from bricking it. Can I wipe and then MobileODIN Kobridges Stock FL16 ROM and then in the same session ODIN this kernel then reboot? I don't want to screw it up but the whole EL26 thing is pretty confusing - that's why I've been sticking with this ROM so long! I've been flashing various TW ICS ROM's from this recovery with no issues. Help is appreciated! Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zero Night:
MAKE SURE THE ROM IS ON YOUR PHONES INTERNEL/EXTERNAL

Download Kobridges Stock FL16 ROM and make sure the file is currently on the device

Download the EL26_StockCWM.zip

from here

Then boot into recovery and flash the EL26_StockCWM.zip

Since you are on a ICS based rom and not a GB based rom your device will not boot

SO MAKE SURE THE ROM IS ON YOUR PHONES INTERNEL/EXTERNAL

Pull out your battery and manually boot into recovery volume down/power button

You should be on cwm now

Then wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash rom then reboot

After that download agats recovery tar

Download mobile odin

Select Kernel and navigate to agats GA10 recovery tar click on it

A warning message will popup select yes and select check
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReFiLL:
Flashed via Mobile Odin

I guess it was a boot loop. Never really booted. I would hear the "chimes" but the screen would stay black. The Touch Caps would light up when the screen was touched. Rebooted to recovery and flashed Stock Kernal, all is well now.

I had just upgraded via One Click from FL04 - GA10, no data. I did "not" clear dalvik/cache (it was not checked off, I have the LITE version and it is not even an option)

-- EDIT --

Well, a night of sleep sure helps clear the mind. It appears I flashed the wrong Repack. I had DL everything from rwilco's repository and installed the wrong repack (tFJ10 not GA10...10-10, whos counting).

I installed proper Repack linked at top and all is well so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A10Loogie:
Thanks so much! That's exactly what I was looking for! I have the Mobile ODIN apk and the FlashKernel on my external SD along with both the ROM and the Agats recovery so I should be good to go as long as I download Root Explorer or something so I can install the apk.

One last question. After doing all this, if I take a Nandroid. Will I be able to restore the Nandroid backup I've taken from ICS and be able to go back and forth if need be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Yes you will. I have been restoring back and forth to the Goodness (JB Rom) and Pacman (CM10) without any problems. When restoring JB back up from ICS, it sometimes doesn't go through in one run, as it will restore boot/recovery and not finish the restore. If this happens, just boot to recovery from boot menu, and it will take you to new recovery. Simply start restore again and your JB back up will be restored.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Zip file

Hi Agat. Is there anyway you can create a zip file for this repack? I was trying to use Exit only's tweaks, and the only way this it'll work is by flashing with the tweak all in one step prior to boot. His instructions say to use EL26 stock CWM, then flash tweak, then flash GA10 repack, then reboot. I tried it without the final step, and then flashed with mobile odin, and it creates fc issues. Thanks

Hi agat. I can't seem to get the touch wiz exit only tweak to work with the ga10 repack for some reason. I tried it with fk23 stock, and the tweaks worked fine.

In my recent never ending search for GPS fixes I was able to flash Exit_Only's tweak. I used the Stable A-I-O v1.3.0 Revamped Universal and I flashed with Agats GA10 repack.

Thought it didn't seem to help my GPS it did boot - where as a few other versions of his didn't.

I booted to recovery, cleared the cach, then cleared the dalvik, then flashed his tweak (yes I know his script also clears the caches but I did it first anyways).

If it doesn't boot it's not a kernel issue. It has to do with the update -from whomever (or it's update script) having issues with your configuration.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
Worked perfect for about 2 days with no issues. Today all paid apps disappeared. Mobile Odined to stock and they were back, so I mobile odined back to your repack and apps are all present and working great again. Not a big deal to flash back and forth when needed to keep a working recovery. Thank for the hard work! :D

What version and build of Jellybean are you running LB?

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

I'm working on the issue with Exit_only's tweaks and the repacked JB kernels. I don't think this will get easily resolved on the kernel side so I'm tackling this from the tweak end of things to see what may be conflicting. As someone already said, there are probably a few components in the tweaks that aren't necessary for JB anyway. Heck, it could be as simple as a line of code in the build.prop that was added that isn't playing nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I am currently on bone stock GA10 (from a full reset PC Odin) only addition is Agat's latest repack and pushed gps.conf file fix and some personal csc edits.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, so you're on stock odexed rom from PC odin then? Just curious if GPS issue is also happening on stock odexed one-click and pc odin installs as well as deodexed version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Ya it's on every one I've tried sadly.

That was my reason to going all the way back to GB then back to JB via PC Odin. Don't have problems on stock GB or most ICS builds just JB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You did the one with the wipe of internal SD also I'm guessing. I had this issue on FL16 so I came up to GA10 build and it seems improved for me. But you're one of the ones having the GPS getting stuck right? I haven't had that particular problem (yet).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I did the full wipe for GA10. Then re-installed every application too. Only thing I restored from backups were my mms messages and contact favorites. Seemed to improve a very little. So I again tried all the .conf tweaks, applications, zip flashes and combinations there of I could find. But it's still the GPS getting stuck thing. I can sometimes go half a day with out it happening but then it will start happeing again. If I really need GPS (and I really do for finding new clients/sites) I have to restart the phone completely to get a 'new clean' lock. Sucks because we all know that a restart with a battery near the 50% level ends up draining it by a huge amount.

I know it's a lame fix, but put your phone into airplane mode before you reboot, should notice a lot less of a drop.

Repack Issues

I had been using the fl16 and it was working great, I was on Kobridge fl16 and The Dark Angel Rises ( Cool themed Rom btw). Then started having issues with paid apps not downloading and then did some stuff that was advised to fix Play Store Error (492) and another time (491). I flashed back to stock kernel and it fixed everything. Now I'm on GA10 and same issues, only worse: apps that were restored from backup suddenly were uninstalled and couldn't restore them. Again, flashed stock and magically back to normal. Kobridge GA10 btw, no tweaks yet - Completely Stock.

Think I will stick to el26 for flashing needs until some more bugs get worked out.:crying:

Ya.. So is mobile odin broken? I have tried to flash teh tar a bunch of times and all mobile odin does is reboot my phone without attempting to flash.

Hense why I said it has been present since FL16... Facebook never caused an issue with teh GPS controller locking up in ICS... Seems to be a JB issue

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Yup... MD5 checks out.. It is a problem with mobile odin not even attempting to flash. All it does is reboot the phone.

Also yes, I have paid for mobile odin so the flash files automatically download and verify... I have uninstalled mobile odin and reinstalled it and it still pulls this same garbage of not flashing... I am wondering if there is a cached flash file that is corrupt and mobile odin isn't attempting to redownload it.

Update: Deleted all the data and uninstall it.. Reinstalled it and now it worked... Hopefully I dont have to worry about that again

Update 2: Everytime I flash the repack I lose my paid applications (tapatalk for one)... Tried cache and davlik wipes but... didn't fix it
