To everyone who still remember me:

As you see, finally, TrueAncestor comes back.

This might be my last work for my play, it was broken and just got repaired two weeks ago.

When I got back my phone, I think I should put some new stuff on it, so this is what you see.

Since I've leave for a long period, so my rom might not be the best and up-to-date.

I just show you what I'm using these days and I have confidence it is a good rom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, talking about the rom:

This rom is based on the newest and hottest stock Neo L rom.

Features:

TA style :)

Lite and clean

Touchpad working

Adreno Driver V3

Serajr's home launcher & systemui

Non-included Componets:

Dlna

Email

Facelock

Facebook

TTS

Google app (framework, play, search remained)

PS pocket & SemcSuite (ps certificate remained)

Stock Livewallpaper

Timescape

more I've forgotten

Known issue:

Black margin appears on the most left home screen on the first boot. (After rebooting and changing wallpaper you'll never see it again)

720p video recording doesn't work under lupus 480p kernel, works fine with 720p kernel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to flash:

Attention:

Flash this rom will wipe all your userdata and give you a clear system.

You can backup your app and data via Titanium Backup.

I'm not responsible for any damage or loses to your device.

Steps:

1.Flash firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced via Flashtool. (Optional)

Reference to here

2.Flash Lupus stock kernel via fastboot. (Recommended)

Reference to here

3.Boot into CWM Recovery, choose and install TrueAncestor_ICS_FE.zip from sdcard.

4.Remember wifi module if you do not use stock-based kenerl.

hi friend,

although you said there are two know issues, you also provided the solutions :good::good::good:

Known issue:

Black margin appears on the most left home screen on the first boot. (After rebooting and changing wallpaper you'll never see it again)

720p video recording doesn't work under lupus 480p kernel, works fine with 720p kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
The 720p recording issue isn't really an issue... Because it's not supposed to work on a 480p Kernel.

720p recording is disabled in 480p Kernels in order to free up more RAM for the Operating System. So as long as 720p recording works on the 720p Kernels it's working perfectly normal and as it should. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] johnylim:
Glad you are back, i often using your rom before.

But can you upload the Screenshot please ? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] El Diablo:
Thanks for the ROM. How much RAM is available as free?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kucharskov:
Damn! It's magic full power super sonic ultra turbo ROM! Thanks :*

You Come Back

I love your work since GB TrueAncestor ROM. I'll test it!

Thanks jikkyu!

:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] CloudShepherd:
Since it's a neo l rom, is it ok to use stock kernel? If it is, do you lose gamepad capabilities again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] honming:
screen shots as follow :
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kucharskov:
I'm delete:

- Album (because Gallery)

- Movies (because Gallery)

- Sony Select (because i don't know what is this :D )

- Root explorer (because i have other filemanager)

I'm add:

- E-mail app (SemcMail.apk from Neo L FTF)

- Ganiewidget.apk (from Neo L FTF)

And i have BEST ICS! :)

@Edit: Touchpads in minecraft - works! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Hello jjkkyu.

Although it may be totally unrelated thank you for the TrueAncestor PKG creator for the PS3, it was really useful.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
I use lufus stock kernel, everything goes fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
Sadly I don't have enough time to update the creator although it is enough for use.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
nice to see u again :)

i like your work , i'll try it asap

Fantastic rom. The only problem i've found is that my bookmarks saved on my gmail account aren't available on the stock internet browser. If someone could figure out how to fix that, the rom would be perfect

What!? i ICS version of one of my favorite GB roms, got ot try! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
I dont think thisll work on r800x because its stock based. But if you try it and it works please tell me. thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
I could try to port it given permission but stock Ics on the r800x is a failure, I can get data and texts to work but the phone app force closes whenever anyone attempts to make calls

well..i tested this rom..nice look on the rom..few bugs..data keep changing in every boot..i fix on gsm (2g to save battery) and changes to 3g/2g always in reboot..cant edit contacts until you choose a image picker like quickpic..then you are ok. no screenshot/reboot option in power button..2 battery icons,cant remove one of them.. antutu 5152 score.

good ram,super fast,smooth. thanks for your work.

overall is a good rom,but for the moment smart rom is better for me.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] JunDavis:
This is ICS
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
I think you have deleted gallery3d, editing contact picture need this app.

This is the reason I keep it in my rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kucharskov:
But i want QuickPanel with old silver icons. Please help me in PM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gabo_10:
This is a silly question but, i have a locked bootloader, can i install this rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CyberScopes:
No.

/==(CyberScopes)==\
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Yes (But his camera will be inverted and his gamepad will not function in games)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CyberScopes:
Ummm, thats not right. I think ure a bit mixed up cause flashing an ics rom on stock kernel(which is gb) will not work at all.

/==(CyberScopes)==\
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
He can flash the neo l ftf and then install this rom on the stock ics kernel thats why he said hed have an inverted camera and touchpads wouldnt work. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CyberScopes:
Ahhh, ok , my bad.

But then again, why would u want to have a rom without the gamepad if the main reason u bought the play is because of the game pad? ;)

/==(CyberScopes)==\
[Xperia Play Android Development] kurosaki99:
hello jjkkyu , glad you came back . surely gonna try this when i got my laptop back .
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Incorrect. It works bit with camera inverted And without pad. I tried once when i had locked bootloader
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i tried the rom without deleting anything..but the rom is good, just need a little update to make it more eye candy,a litlle more features as i posted before..the wallpapers you included are amazing, super fast rom with no lag at all.

maybe you do an update (please remove RE in chinese, better apk explorer its super light) and add more features.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] gabo_10:
Thanks for your answers :), i think its time to unlock my bootloader

Silly Idea but jjkkyu would it be possible for you to integrate the ICS beta of Play to Neo L rom so itll be detected as Play on the Computer.

And the rom, when it is set to HSDPA only, after reboot, it goes back to GSM/HSDPA preferred...

Your TA GB was an Icon for it has the NXT look right before anyone was able to do it, would there be an update of having this ROM converted to the Xperia Z interface.

Maybe you could learn from other devs like marks to get us a better ICS.

All of this are suggestions.

Wow, after vokal another great dev returns for the Play.

Thought that after Dan left us the Development thread would slowly but sure comes to his end.

But now this, thank you jjkkyu and thanks tor the TA GB, was my daily for a long time.

Will try this asap, but it must be good because the previous version was.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
JjKKYu was here all the time.

He is just a silent guy that is in a lot of places.

He also devs on the ps3 e.t.c (I use his True ancestor PKG creator on my ps3)
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
Whats that do?. I have a ps3 and id like to mess with it. Does he have a website or something to do look at?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
A pkg is the type of file ps3 downloads from the store (Game Updates, Demos , Add-Ons)

I used to abuse creating custom pkg and side loading them through proxy server on PC (redirection) to get free addons xD.

It was fixed 4/5 months ago but it was sure fun.
[Xperia Play Android Development] JunDavis:
"The Update that should have been made". With flashing the new play suite from the ICS beta it is how Sony should have updated this phone. Very smooth gaming issues at all. Touchpad working fine and battery life well for ICS. Thank you for this wonderful Rom. I think this may be the last ROM I'll ever flash for the play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
Does that mean getting ubuntu for play is cancelled :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] CyberScopes:
Could Anyone post screenshots?
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
Its based on stock neo l so it probably looks like stock
[Xperia Play Android Development] JunDavis:
Not at all my friend! I'm just waiting patiently for stable CM10.1. Admiring this rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Is this based on .587 or last .631 (or whatever it is, dont remember exactly the number) ?

P.s. And by the way, what improvements are they from .587 to the last version?
[Xperia Play Android Development] El Diablo:
How did you flash the play suite? And what does it actually do?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Can u push the apk un system/app Luke always?
[Xperia Play Android Development] El Diablo:
I think you quoted the wrong person.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
i meant "....like always" . Damn auto correction
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Of course it will work, a play Rom is a play Rom. Only thing is that you will loose service for cross flashing roms
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
ot: Does that mean we can flash one of those Neo l Ftf that were modified for play? Also your dog says r800z LOL is that because your using Xperia z launcher or is it a mistake?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
If your boot loader is locked you can always flash a neo l ftf then a play rom.

Your camera will be inverted though and gamepad unusable but everything works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
I meant because my phone is an r800x and the Neo l is a gsm phone so I didn't know if it would work
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
just a question how do you do a screenshot on this rom? up+vol down is not working
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
hold power+vol- for 2 secs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
thanks for the reply jjkkyu..if you dont mind can i make a banner for this rom? it is one of the best rom i have tested and no bugs so far..it is now my daily driver and i really love your work on this.. so can i have permission to make a banner for this to put on my sign?

heres a simple banner creation of mine jjkkyu
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
thanks for your banner, I will edit it to my post if you got it done.

I use lupus gb/ics stock 720p kernel on this rom, and found the battery consumes a bit fast.

I will try back 480p version or ics beta stock kernel to test the battery performance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
heres the link for the simple banner jjkkyu its not that fancy though.

http://tinypic.com/r/2j5xszl/6

i use the lupus ICSv12 for the rom with 720 p recording and battery life so far has been the best one ive tried among the ICS roms i flashed :cyclops:
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
THX, I will try the v12 you mentioned.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Tried your rom yasterday very good but I like quick panel like in cm/gb.add "take screen shot" to the power off menu. Gallery and music player can't detect files. Another then that very good.not tested gaming.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Use a media scanner app.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
i never had a problem like this in using this rom. what was the message displayed and whats the kernel that you have used?
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Ics+gb lupus v1 no error messages. Just not displayed. I experienced this in the past in nxt markpython ics. With no solution. I switched back to paranoid ics and its working fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
did you try to do a scan and fix on your card? maybe it has bad ext on it and it may cause other ICS rom reading it
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
I tried even to format partitions. And recreate them the sd card is fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
have you tried mediascanner? that may be a particular issue with your phone my friend because this rom does not have a bug in recognizing media files first time a boot this up it recognize 3 gig of pictures 4 gig of music and videos in like 2 minutes. maybe what you can do is start clean flash original ftf or use the enhanced or phoenix reflash kernel and try again with the rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
I always do fresh install. I used 58. Enhanced. I have that issue only in this Rom and markpython. So its not my phone. But never mind thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mynzer:
Excellent Work

Excellent ROM, I also use for a long time the True Ancestor GB.

This ROM is the best ICS ROM that is used, it is fast and light, as expected like its GB predecessor.

The only problems I've had were when I try to edit the contact picture, the application closes when I try to crop the image. The other problem I had was when I reboot the phone, sometimes the wallpaper changes to the classic blue wallpaper that was originally in a fresh install of the ROM.

I am using a clean install, I swear, (No system apps deleted or anything)

The best ICS ROM :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] jjkkyu:
what app do you choose to edit contact pic?

only gallery works, album doesn't work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Flashed yasterday again the Rom.same problem but used media scanner app as members are mentioned and it worked!good Rom.still not tested gaming.few.bugs I found was:1.wallpaper is changed to stock blue one from time to time.2.auto brightness icon in the quick panel are buggy.3.no shortcut can be created to use only gsm/wcdma.4.after reboot the data mode resets to gsm\wcdma preffered.5.there is some icons in Chinese in quickpanel and root explorer is in Chinese. 6.2 battery icons why? 7.I added some 3g tweaks suggest you to do the same very helpful. Thats all for now not tested gaming!thanks again for great Rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Some benchmarks.good score for ics.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Bug found.front camera dont work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
mine is working fine see attached screen shot... may i know what rom kernel combo you are using?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
The front cameras on the xplay break easy it broke on all three of my plays

So I dont think its a rom problem :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Ics v12 lupus beta kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
hmm that is kinda weird, does it work on other roms on your partition?
[Xperia Play Android Development] r4_broadcast:
Found a Bug!!! XLoud is inverted and is not working if you activate it from Walkman... Using firmware .62 and Stock Kernel from Wedgess...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Well using for a while and found just one bug: the apk for sync bookmarks on browser is missing. So the option Settings/Accounts and Sync/Google account/ Sync browser is missing too. Had to add it myself.

Besides that, everything is ok...

P.s the Voice Search apk is the one from GB! Had to replace that too
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
When I listening to music it kinda stucks with stucky noise for half a second and then continue to play normally anyone experienced this?i am using mediascanner app because without i cant see any media files that is the only app that I suspicious.what do you think all?happens only on this rom. and another thing I want to ask is can someone provide a list of safe bloat that can be removed releated to this rom?thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
clear soundenhancement data and walkman data try to see again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
I will try and report.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
?

Still continue.specially when multitasking/screen off
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Only with music? I had that problem but while i play heavy games like Dead Trigger or watching some videos,

But happens very randomly so i dont know what trigger it

And by the way, happens in Hybrid Rom too
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Only when listening to music.deleted soundenhancements.apk walkman.apk installed another player!deleted mediascanner.the problem continue, very weird.by the way I dont think that I have that problem in hybrid.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
This happens to me as well on other Stock based ROMs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
it's a ram issue i think. simply close some apps and free some ram before listening to anything

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Yes you can use any stock based kernel :thumbup:
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
which kernel should i go with?

P.s.: i flash lupus 720 but i heard that 480 has more ram
[Xperia Play Android Development] r4_broadcast:
LuPus 480p has more ram, that's for sure... But the 720p gives you more camera quality on video recording... there are two Lupus Kernels: Stock and Beta Based, I'm suing the Stock one and is running ok...
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
yes 420p has more ram but it cant record 720 p video quality ive said this before unused ram is wasted ram and there is very little difference in it IMO use lupus ics v12 720 p
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
walkman and gallery wont scan any files :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Never had problem like that
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
have you tried clearing data
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
clearing which data?
[Xperia Play Android Development] fritzbored:
apps>walkman>clear data? and try to use mediascanner as well but you are the first one to report this issue with this rom though
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
ok now they can scan the files(i didnt do anything to it), btw thanks to replying and helping :)

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

i noticed that the battery life slightly worse than b4, is it normal for first day use? or will it become normal after few days?
[Xperia Play Android Development] funnies7:
You can use both, but yes the 480 will give you a little more ram, right now I'm using doomLord's beta because the lupu's kernels consumes much battery
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
This must be a bug: when i click on a link or a search with the quick search google widget, the browser open TWICE the first page.

Is it just me or somebody else noticed this?

You see, the browser it was close, so no tabs opened at first. But then when i open a quick bookmark icon, open twice the same page.

The same thing happen when i search somethin with the google quick search widget on the homepage.
