[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3ro-grav1ty:
Ok firstly I'll answer about nandroid backup. Once you have 2ndInit install, you'll encounter a blue led on bootup. If you press Volume Down then you'll be taken to the bootmenu screen. From there select recovery and then custom recovery. You'll now see the CWM recovery screen. Now select backups and restore and this is where you can make your nandroid backup. Select backup all and let it finish.

As for battery drainage, I've been using CM10 with now problems at all. In fact my current configuration Quarx's CM10 (17/02 build) and JellyX Kernel (22/03) has been exceptionally good! Very stable, just may take a few tries (as in a couple of flashing attempts) to get it to boot up :P

Now with sbf's you should really note that there is a stock SBF (which you can locate a list of in the Development section) and if you own a Defy+ there are some sbf's needed to root your phone.

As far as ROM's are concerned, to change from one ROM to another you need to perform a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) then you flash the ROM and gapps and the another cach and dalvik wipe and then reboot your device.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by flashing a new sbf without flashing a new ROM. All I can say is: you use the stock SBF to restore everything (unroot + go back to stock android version) or it is used, as I said, to help root the Defy+. ROM's do not require the flashing of a new sbf. Kernel's don't require you to flash a new sbf either, however it is suggested to reflash (or just flash) the ROM that you want to use.

------I'll link something here in a bit-------

EDIT: Here! <--- just a general flash procedure if you need

If you encounter any problems along the way, restore to stock SBF, re-root, install 2ndInit, and flash again.

Hopefully that answers most things :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricketyclik:
Thanks z3ro. On reading this I realize I'm confusing SBF's with kernels. An SBF is kernel + ROM? If so, when I flashed to CM7.2 I flashed kernel as well? Quarx's instructions say flash Froyo (which I didn't do, having a Defy+) then install the ROM.

BTW, my phone's rooted, hence having CM7.2 loaded.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3ro-grav1ty:
Yeah I had a feeling you confused the two. Well an sbf (I guess) is a kernel+ROM. Ok having a defy+ makes things a lot easier because that's the model I have as well.

Quarx's nightlies come with their own kernel so when you flash them, the install the kernel. (Go into phone settings > scroll down to the bottom and click on about phone > check to see if kernel version is there, it should be the same as your current ROM)

Then again, I went straight to CM10, but I'm fairly sure CM7 should be the same.

Well since you are rooted, I just recommend performing a nandroid backup, then flashing whatever ROM (and Kernel if you want) you feel comfortable with.

I recommend Quarx's 18/03 build for CM10 (before his experimental wi-fi builds), ParanoidAndroid 2.5.3 (however there hasn't been much activity of late), and the combination I mentioned earlier of Quarx's 17/02 and JellyX 22/03.

choose the latest one maybe around march24th build. its perfectly stable.

press thanks if helped.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricketyclik:
This. I love it! No more radical battery drain, and seems really stable. Nice clean UI too :)

I was expecting JB to be a pain to learn, but on the face of it it seems to be quite similar to GB, at least in UI terms.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3ro-grav1ty:
I'm glad you fixed your wi-fi drain, it seems that problem is quite evident in CM7 builds
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricketyclik:
I don't think it was related to wifi. I hardly ever have it on.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3ro-grav1ty:
sorry I meant battery not wi-fi :P
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jountha:
I want to install too

Hey Bro,

I want to install CM10.1 too....but i am confused which link to download and each link shows multiple file. Also if i install CM10.1 how much my internal memory will decrease? Since originally we are having 1.2Gb in DEfy +. What are the things that not working in the version that you installed??

Thanks in advance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z3ro-grav1ty:
Go for CM10, I would not suggest CM10.1 for you yet. The multiple download link each have a date - correspond each date to the changelog on Quarx's thread and choose a stable one (NOT and experimental build) - I suggest 18/03 for you because you don't seem too familiar yet.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakarbu:
does cm10 quarx 18/03 has major bug? eg: battery drain,connectivity problem etc..

currently on cm7.2. wish to upgrade to cm10..

With the xda1 you could easily overwrite wav files in you pocket pc windows map, to change system sounds.

Normally you connect your pc with active sync and then overwrite the wav with a new wav with the same filename

didnt get it to work with the xda2

anyone any luck?

and what is the startup wav ? or is it wma?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Tuningszocske:
There's a little prog in the StartMenu/Settings/System called AddRingTone. When you start this application you can add wav files as many as you want to your ringing tone folder. After that you can change the sound in the StartMenu/Settings/Personal/Sounds/Notifications.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Tuningszocske:
And for the startup sound there's a prog called AIM Production Soundz Cool. I haven't tried with my XDAII but it worked with XDA1. Maybe you cna use it to change any sounds on your XDA.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:

I disabled setup wizard due to force closes if that's what you meant
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:

[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
okaay ;) no problem ;) i wait for fix :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Fixed version is uploaded, I reccomend to flash the Xperia GX Home addon :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
okay ;) thanks ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:

[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
Dafuq with this setup wizard ?! It's don't work ! -.-
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jecmenn:
I waited for this very long time so thanks for your great work. UI running smooth so far. So maybe I finally found my daily driver ;)

And I found bug. As you can see on screenshot below, the vibration icon is little misplaced.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Guys, should I include a modded SystemUI.apk?

If so, leave replies as to what one I should use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
What problem are you having? Have you tried factory resetting, formatting system, then flashing again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
i always do a factory reset and clean cache... clean dalvik...everything i use and it don't work -.- SETUP WIZARD problem... I'm go to the TrueAncestor ICS Final Edition I have no problems with installation this ROM...in this i don't know how but I have problems..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
That's strange o.o

It installs fine for me
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
Hi first of all thank you for this wonderful rom its best I have tried so far, and I think is pretty fast to, and all good in gaming (modern combat 4 test and getting 25-30fps), it has a little lag in the menu, and yes you should definitely put in a custom SystemUI with shortcuts like to wifi and bluetooth and the other ones that used to be here in most of the roms, and I recommend that you integrate Xperia GX framework because for me it gave me 30mb more ram I am getting 210-220 with that so I think you should make that default, and maybe need some rom and gaming tweaks and this could be one of the best ICS roms, I would be really honored to test new releases and will be send information if I find any bugs.

---------- Post added 29th March 2013 at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was 28th March 2013 at 11:56 PM ----------

And if possible please add a overclock menu option if you can do it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Thanks for the suggestions, but what I mainly tried to do with this ROM was get it as close to the ICS Beta as possible, but to just get things that we depended on working, like touchpads for example, almost a "gaming" ICS ROM, in the next release I'm including the Boost my Xperia app, it really helps with RAM and performance

Use No-frills CPU Control to overclock etc
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
how much free ram in this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] dorolan05:
hi great rom tnx,btw how can i try faceunlock?didnt see in lock option tnx
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:

i have a quastion

touchpads are working like other ics roms?

or they are not fixed?

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

can anyone share a patch that will add fully working walkman app for this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Re: [ROM][GSM][4.0.3][UNLOCKED BL]4.1.H.0.4 - FIXED by johnnzey

Touchpads should be working yes, but I need testers for this

For walkman, have a look at the AC!D Soundmod

I also reccomend to everyone else to go ahead and get the "Boost my Xperia' app fron the arc themes and apps section, really helps with RAM
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
I'm going to need people to test different SystemUI's

I'm trying some, but they just don't work on this version of ICS :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:

I always wanted this rom but the sony one didnt boot for me

I think i can use it more than all my other roms
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:

Also, to everybody else, r2 is now uploaded, READ THE INSTALLATION STEPS, AND TIPS IN THE OP!
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you are getting better man..seems like a nice rom..i just wonder..in almost other ICS roms that have new sony base,have a blurry incall/outgoing call image..your rom has it? if you can just test that and post a screenshot in 1 post.:cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Judge for yourself (I set one of the AOSP Wallpapers as the contact pictures)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:

[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
can you please do these things?

1-adding bravia engine 2 instead of bravia engine 1

2-adding Walkman app (with equalizer and other things)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Re: [ROM][GSM][4.0.3][UNLOCKED BL]4.1.H.0.4 - FIXED by johnnzey r2

I can add the new BRAVIA Engine, yes

I won't add walkman in, I wanted this to be as close to the ICS Beta as possible, you can flash the AC!D Soundmod, or some Xperia 2012 apps, have a look around XDA

-EDIT-

I just tried BRAVIA Engine 2, I don't think it has worked, it removed the option to Enable BRAVIA Engine in settings, so I guess I'll just keep it stock, besides you can install it by yourself, all you need to do is edit your build.prop and then flash a .zip

It looks like this ROM is finished, all I need are a few testers for gaming
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
i can do some test in gaming for MC4, GTA3, GTA VC, Mass Effect, MC3, Asphalt 7, NOVA3 and other stuff ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
Hi can test any game with it including HD games (modern combat 4, nova 3, gta vice city...), which rom should I do the testing with because I tried you newly uploaded one but it doesnt have to good performance in gaming.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
So you're saying r2 has worse gaming performance than r1?

Ah please do, would be much appreciated :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
I think a little bit yes because I tested modern combat 4 on r1 and r2 and I think r1 won by a few fps's, but if you want specific information for each game I can do that to.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Yeah sure that would be fantastic

Not so much benchmark scores, I'd like to see how it performs in real life situations, like being a daily driver

-EDIT-

Are you sure it's not as good as r1? Look at OP, I just updated the Antutu Benchmark screenshot, that one is now from r2
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
In my opinion yes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Alright, I'll still need more testers, if anyone else can test some games then that would be brilliant

-EDIT-

Would anybody be interested in a "light" version of this ROM? (No Sony apps/wallpapers/livewallpapers, replaced with more lightweight and simplistic ones)
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
In Modern Combat 4 24-41 fps in some place...;)

I'll test Asphalt 7 and later maybe GTA3..
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
How in the hell did you get that much in modern combat 4 I got max 30fps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
tested gta vice city: too many lags but better than nxt roms.

gta 3: too many little lags or i dont know maybe it was because of graphic. im not sure but maybe it wasnt lag

fpse emulator: i was running crash bash at about 40-60 fps

im having less lag in rc1. i dont know why

will benchmark later

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

can you change super user with super su?

super su is better for ics roms
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Noted, I'll do so in r3
[Xperia Play Android Development] szempek555:
I dont know why but for me Boost My Xperia does nothing it doesnt give me any extra performance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
using ram manager pro is better than boost my xperia. but they dont efect too much.

super charging it is a good idea too

and make a 1 gig swap then you're phone will fly

but i don't use swap my self because i need my memory
[Xperia Play Android Development] blackbox92:
can i used this rom with turbo kernel v3.1?
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
i think its not multiboot aware but you can do it youre self
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
r3 will be multiboot aware
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you can use if you install this rom in slot 1..;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
You can install this rom into slot 1 and then when you create slot 2/3/4 simply chose the "copy from system" and "copy userdata" options and the slot 1 will be copied to the other slot of your choice with the larger storage
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
I've changed the init.d scripts to ones from Fluid Engine, I will upload them in r3, let me know what you think/test gaming performance please!

I have also made an Addon .zip for all of the new Xperia apps from the Xperia V!

(WALKMAN, Album, Movies, Sony Select, Music Widget, Visualizer)

-EDIT-

[Xperia Play Android Development] honming:
whether the r3 had fixed the known bugs?

known bugs:

Vibration icon on Status bar is slightly misplaced

Stock Home launcher is very laggy in App drawer (Flash another Launcher if you want)
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
installing xperia z lockscreen on this rom

first of all come here and install part 1 and part 2 as it says

then come here and do what it says.(after putting the app in system/app reboot the phone)

now you will have xperia z lockscreen.

its a bit laggy for first times

bugs: you need to install the patch of xperia v album for changing the lockscreen wallpaper
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Re: [ROM][GSM][4.0.3][UNLOCKED BL]4.1.H.0.4 - FIXED by johnnzey r3

I'm not sure how to fix the vibration logo, decompiling and recompiling never works properly for me, and I can't fix the launcher, I tried putting the Xperia GX Launcher into the ROM from the get go, but it just doesn't install correctly

Again what I said above

r3 will be uploaded shortly, I just need to get to my computer :P

Would anybody be interested in a Xperia Z Wallpapers addon?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jamesbdx:

I dont know if this is a bug but in the r3 plus the optional xperia launcher, whenever the phone is in standby and i wanted to wake it up and unlock by pressing the sleep/wake button, the screen responds so slow that sometimes i cant unlock it. Sometimes i can see the lock screen wakes up but the led backlight doesnt light up and i have to wait for the led backlight to fire up.

It should be, just push the .apk into system/app using adb or root explorer, then reboot

That should do it

I don't really like the look of that so I probably won't add it in, I could make an addon .zip though?

I think this is a kernel bug, what kernel are you using? Or you could try deleting the Xperia PLAY launcher?
