Use the right kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Guimac90:
Lupus kernel v8 480p ;) Was ok before the update
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
use root explorer and delete some sounds from system/media/notifcations and ringtones..let only 2 or 3 sounds on those 2 folders to release at least 3 or 4 mb free space..reboot. colors should be ok..its kernel warning for low space.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
OTA zip gets stuck at MIUI splash on Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] pelomeke:
I´ve installed link2sd and it works great for me
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
did you follow OP exactly? before updating the rom, delete most of system/media audio..only flash the update when you see on root explorer or other at least 10 mb free..it not it will bootloop.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Ah right. What exactly does the update do actually?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
So there are 2 MIUI v5 in this Forum, 1 is yours and the other 1 has dolby.

This is how I see it... The one with dolby works fine as a phone without any apps, less force closes with the built in apps BUT! Installed apps are not working since the ram is really low, while your Rom is capable of playing installed apps, but from what ive read there are some system apps that Force Closes.

Im not criticizing anyone here but I just wanted to be straight forward, lateley ive been observing posts here and it seems like most people nowadays are just porting Roms without actually finishing the Projects.

Having that said, I guess members here should help each other on creating a functional rom, than showing off a version of their own, a lot of ICS, Xperia Z, jellybean, slim and the differences are the extension name like "extreme, pro, light, gamer and all"

Back then, most of the ports are based from divxperia or krisdee's or marks or ones from other known developers since they had the base rom funtional before the port.

Ive been trying a lot of rom lately, and the functions are seperated, this is not how previous devs work here on this forum.

Bottomline, devs should stop all porting just to earn thanks and start developing a WORKING rom, members should be HELPING each other rather than being a Showoff.

Again what I am saying is not to criticize anyone but to explain whats happening.

[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
I've noticed that too BUT...and this is a very big but........Unless you're a dev yourself you shouldn't criticise them. Even though a lot of these roms are fundamentally the same, they each have their own little quirks. The Play is also getting a bit long in the tooth now so to speak and we are lucky to have these guys around

Keep up the good work dev peeps :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
Im no dev, I have small knowledge about fixes, most people here are either leeches or supporters, some people are fame grabber looking for thanks while other are hard working developers. Take it the way you want it. But I may have to say smokermans work is good, and he needs help and suggestions instead of other people developing or should I say porting some work he started.

[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Porting is how some people get into developing though. The people who port always give credit as well from what I've seen and sometimes improve upon the base rom. Look at when ICS was starting to show up for the Play. First few roms had terrible UI lag but when people started using them as a jumping off point development started improving.

Bottom line is there is always gonna be ports and it's how the community grows and improves
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
to be fair..i have talked with a few members about porting roms..its somewhere here in the forum..i agree we should stop porting roms unless they are different from others..or give something new.:) all my ports are different and the roms are built to my own taste..gameplay,sound,and less bugs as possible..

thats why i only have one GB rom and its not mine..i just improved it.we have amazing GB roms from other best and great DEVS

.we dont have official support for ICS or JB..so we have to make it as good as we can..i try to support all my roms and some of them are almost final versions and updated here and then when something new appears.but there are many others helping and bringing more to xperia play..in this case of miui 5 dolby is a copy of this one with dolby..(not) i didnt see any difference from mine MIUI5..same bugs and sound is similar..dolby its a placebo effect on play..i worked hard to make touchpads work and to have free ram to make a decent gameplay as im not a "hard gamer" but i like to play my games sometimes. and dont forget [MENTION=4259536]MaxWorks[/MENTION] as his work brings MIUI 5 to play..i just make it a little better for xperia play and usable..bugs are the same on all devices at this time.

ps:i help other on their roms as i ask help sometimes too,most times on ICS..i still prefer JB roms and i see a great improvment specially on support for r800x users,thanks to darklords developers team.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bhavei:
i tried your rom, it has less ram than the ones with dolby but most games are still unplayable, your camera is integrated with albums so you have albums and gallery at the same time. the keyboard is quite old.

so heres what i did, i made a titanium backup of the camera and keyboard from the one with dolby and it reacted properly with your MIUI, with that i was able to remove the album and get a better keyboard.

im not that familiar with MIUI at the meantime, but im trying what i could to lessen the ram and make it playable.

if someone is to test rom, best game to try is Dungeon Hunter 4, if DH4 is playable, then most of the games of Play would.

[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
as i said..i put in the roms what i liked more and dont give errors..i will release a full version when the time is right and have less bugs from original rom. so i will keep it as MIUI5 as i can..JB roms are hardly enough for hard gamers..on all of them you will have a bit lag and gameplay is worst than GB..but for normal games such as NFMW,DEAD TRIGGER, VT4 ,emulators and so..you can play decently and in some cases very well..for heavier games,GB is still recommended.;)

errors & stuck after unlock screen

Hi [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION], i got a problem when installing the last update "MIUIv5 3.9.6"

i've tried to follow the instructions

Here what i've done :

1) Install firmware

2) Flash kernal (Lupus jb8)

3) Install ROM 3.7.12 MULTI with remove MIUI Keyboard and the 3 last options

4) Reboot and success load system MIUI 3.7.12

5) Then i reboot again, enter recovery

6) Flash "MIUIv5 3.9.6 Multi" without wiping

7) Reboot system

8) Warning Low Disk Space

9) System loaded > MIUI Lockscreen

10) HERE the PROBLEMS : after unlock screen, there are errors / force close = SystemUI, MIUIHome, etc. So after unlock the screen, my phone has blank (black) screen. Stop here.

What i've to do to enjoy your latest update?

Please...

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you did all very well..just a little note..before installing the update 3.9.16 delete most of the media ringtones and notifications to have at least 7 or 10mb free (you can see this with root explorer for ex:) and then flash update..you are ok then.;) try it and let me know..but let the rom settle for a bit before updating and play a little.
[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
color ??

thanks a lot [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION]

it works great!!! awesome...

but, why is the color???

[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
SOLVED With Fresh Install :)

Thanks [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION],,, after i reinstall from first step (Fresh Install from firmware)

Then delete some files in audio folder

Then update to latest ROM, now working fine.. :angel::victory:

Thank you :highfive:
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
color is kernel warning you that have low space..its nothing wrong with your phone..it s like oil light on car..just a warning for you to know that something is missing.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
great notification :p :cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
Yes, me too

But thanks a lot for this great rom :good: :highfive:
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
because the 3.7.12 full rom doesnt have that features..

i will add it on next full rom if i can.

:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] raminta:
I solved it

Just extract "Antispam.apk" from 3.7.12 and copy it to system/app and fix permissions

Then u can see two problem that I said are solved
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
when i do a full version all bugs will be solved.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cloud1250000:
damn I'm always getting that my system partition is running low on space -.-' what the hell I've done wrong T_T I've followed renkawan way...
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
delete to have 7/10 mb free space and reboot..or move some apps to sd card.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cloud1250000:
okay, i'll try this, also is it normal that icon are blue? miui isn't supposed to be orange?

wow... I can't delete thing in system... es file explorer keep saying it's read only T_T (even when I allowed root acces in permission manager)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i use only root explorer..change to r/o instead of r/w..delete some sounds and reboot..all is gonna be ok.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] cloud1250000:
oh :) you are right :) thank you for your help!
[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
My problem solved after I moved some files in folder system/media/ ... alarms, notifications and ringtones for get more free space (just in case) to sdcard :D

So i could use those stuffs again ;)

Hope u can be enjoy this rom soon :highfive:
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Finally got this working with the OTA patch :)

Only issue I have with this rom on the Play is the task killer (hold home key) doesn't pop up half the time. Just makes the screen flash :S
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
read 1 post carefully..see bug tracker and solution..just click on show content.:good:

you will see this:

-Hard to enter to recent applications by HOME button--- fix:enter to settings - buttons&keys-home key--»none/menu key--»lunch recent panel

solved

.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Thanks :)

I need to start reading things better haha

Found something of interest from the CAMPS rom as well. There's an update straight away that downloads MiHome.apk (can't remember the version) that supports live wallpapers. Also, just need to swipe up the screen for the task killer :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Actually, I've installed MiHome 2.12.0 as the default launcher in system. Any way to remove the default locker? Just when I use the locker in MiHome 2.12.0 I'm getting a double lockscreen. I've looked in SYS and can't find anything :S
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
dont remove it..its built like that..try to disable lockscreen from mihome2.12.0 and use original one..must be similar. if someone can help please do so..i never done that..i use always original mihome..as its going to be updated as the rom.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
I've backed up the original so if there's any issues I can just push it back to system. Had to remove a few useless (to me anyway) system apps to avoid the low ram issue as well

As far as differences go, it has a live weather wallpaper built in as well as swipe up the screen for the task killer instead of using a button. Also comes with an app that automatically organises apps into folders. Also the animation when opening a folder is a LOT smoother. I had a look around and it costs 1M experience on the MIUI page (whatever that means)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CTU_Loscombe:
Out of interest, what would happen if I pushed a launcher off the market into system instead of MiHome?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
it would work..but you lose MIUI feel as rom..you could try..but if you look a bit,you have a rom like that..its called TURBO UI R4 JB by Cosmic Dan.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] renkawan:
Hi [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION],, i had a problem here. I couldn't use WiFi Thetering. It just showing "turning on" message. Why??
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
use this external app:http://d-h.st/xAU
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
update to 3.9.27..please backup your rom first and test..

MIUI5_OTA 3.9.27_multi.zip

if appears different colours,go to system/ and delete some sounds until you have 3-5 mb free..and reboot..colours will restore to original.;) (its kernel related dont worry.);)
[Xperia Play Android Development] InvincibleSoul:
Thanks for the update! Works fine but the Themes app crashed after downloading while importing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
Same problem here :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Megacubo:
Where is the changelog?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
its on 1 post..i have updated now,cause i forgot before.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
Is there any fix for the themes crashing when downloading/upgrading themes?

Also applying themes doesnt seem to theme the status bar and others :( before the OTA update they worked fine
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
try to flash this:

THEME FIX MIUI5 PLAY

wipe cache/dalvik cache,reboot.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
That seemed to have worked great thanks :good::good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
ALL MY ROMS ARE STABLE AND FOR DAILY USE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS,SO FROM NOW ON 06-10-2013 I WILL UPDATE FROM TIME TO TIME. DONT ASK FOR ETA PLEASE. I WILL SUPPORT ALWAYS AND HELP USERS ON MY ROMS.BE SURE YOU QUOTE ME FOR A QUICKER ANSWER.

if someone wants and can, i need a new replace battery as mine is almost dead and i cant test my roms properly as i should and like before release, or just a small donation it was awsome to buy a new one with high capacity.i dont do this work for money,but 0.40 cents seems low for all this time working on roms and helping others and i NEVER asked nothing.

:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] InvincibleSoul:
Now for some reason when I try to download a theme it appears as downloading in the status bar and then vanishes...

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] korrectmethod:
Try creating a "theme" folder in sd card root.

Wow, pretty impressive. Is it overclocked or something?

I'd like to install a good rom that allow me to play games without problems. I had troubles with ICS roms. This is a JB rom. How is this so light?

Lastly, do you think this rom is ok for gaming?
[Xperia Play Android Development] InvincibleSoul:
Does not do anything... Thanks for trying!
[Xperia Play Android Development] MaxWorks:
Correct folder should be MIUI/themes

Did you delete xTension app and its core? - as it is can be the reason of Themes app fail
[Xperia Play Android Development] InvincibleSoul:
Did no such thing... And I have the MIUI/themes folder...

The themes downloaded previously work fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
xtension i may remove it on next update..i ididnt see any changes on that..just more bugs..so i will stick with 3.9.6 version.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gianmark:
also, this rom give compatibility problems?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
its used on cpu 1.2 max smartassv2 249min to play games..this JB rom is NOT for hard gamers..if you have problems on ICS sure this is not for you..MIUI 5 is heavy..for normal games like NFMW,DEAD TRIGGER,VIRTUA TENNIS and some like that its playable..but better use another JB rom or a 2.3.7 rom.

JB roms you have many with touchpads working..just look on my video reviews or in xperia play index also on my sig.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Megacubo:
With this I can install themes? Trying right now
[Xperia Play Android Development] iRhyiku:
It doesnt seem to like downloading themes though.. applying works fine but downloading just stops D:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Megacubo:
Thanks, at least themes work now
[Xperia Play Android Development] darksora:
can i use this ,multiboot with gin2jelly or nxt ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
Yes.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] darksora:
i try this in 1st boot, 2nd boot on gin2jelly ..1st boot with this rom is perfectly but 2nd boot stop in boot logo ..

2nd boot, system 300mb data 300mb ..
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Whenever I attempt to boot up the device after following all instructions on post 1, I get a warning that my system partition is dangerously low on storage. I am using JBv8 by Lupus, is this still necessary to us v8 or can I use v13 now?

Also, after the warning I am unable to boot beyond the warning...

Edit - I also have a Xiaomi Mi-1s for sale on ebay if anyones interested. My wife bought it in China in June of this year. It really is a slick device and feels very solid in the hand. I was going to use it as my XP replacement but then after 1 day realized how much I cant stand touchscreen gaming so I am back to my XP and quite happy and content to keep my faithful device for as long it lives... :)

Xiaomi Mi-1s Specs

854x480

1.7ghz dual core (Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon)

Snapdragon Adreno 220

4gb ROM

1gb Ram

[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
seems a good device..but i cant play without gamepad on my phone..so im stuck to xperia play..and since you are in USA i cant buy you the xiami for my wife..but seems nice.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] .. which file to download from the OP.. I can see 3.7.12 .. and then 3.9.27 .. and then 3.9.6 .. which is the ROM.. and what is the other files ?

if possible.. how do I debloat this ROM .. if I want to for myself ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gladwin_Prince:
[MENTION=4862673]saqibkhan[/MENTION] Download All the three versions: 3.7.12 , 3.9.6 and 3.9.27

3.7.12 is the whole MIUI Rom itself(Can be installed and run as Fully functional Android OS)

while 3.9.6 is a minor update to its previous version( 3.9.6 should be installed over 3.7.12)

while3.9.27 is another minor update that should be installed over 3.9.6( after installing 3.9.6 over 3.7.12)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
thanks for explaining..cant debloat more..i ve debloated at the most to have a fully working rom..you can remove weather widget apk from system and a few others if you dont use,to have a little bit more space.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
wow.. amazingggg... now that's a fresh change.. from the Usual JB.. am loving it.. my daily driver.. hve been using AOKP for a long time now.. how do we reduce the DPI. cuz i used to have 180 for me in AOKP.. so this is a bit big for me.

[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4682350]Gladwin_Prince[/MENTION]

Update : plz help..i tried to change the LCD Density in the build.prop though I backed it up.. and when I restarted the phone.. MIUI doesn't start.. not even the boot animation shows up.. except the turbo kernel boot logo.. then I replaced the Original build.prop in the system from TWRP.. but still MIUI not loading.. what am I doing wrong ??

Update 2 : Reflashed the ROM + 2 updates.. without wiping System Data.. only wiped ROM .. and reflashed all.. and Thankfully everything is working beautifully.. but I really cant change the DPI ?? :( I need 180
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Change the dpi how you were but make sure to set the same permissions on the file that were on it before, Additionally you can use a DPI changer on the play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=en

or use Xposed Framework and App Settings module for individual app based DPI.

@smokerman

Can you put all this ROM in 1 zip file rather than 3 seperate flashable zips, Makes it easy to add the latest version to my kitchen then, thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
THanks a lot.. now that that;s done.. I need to find a way to run this ROM faster.. because after installing.. it keeps on getting slower and slower for me.. am using Turbo Kernel v3.1 on Xperia Play..
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
I have installed the latest version 3.11.1 .. from here http://en.miui.com/thread-3182-1-1.html .. by maxworks.. and it is faster and more stable for me.. it doesn't require any OTA updates etc to be installed.. just directly one file ROM .. and it doesn't give any FC at all.. you could try this..

*can anyone tell me how to increase SWAP size once I installed the ROM .. will all the data on my SD card get erased if I create now.*
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
do touchpads work? you have installed on wich kernel?:rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] MaxWorks:
It depends the way which you created old SWAP.

- If you just select SWAP file from installer, then all is simple - go to /system/etc/boot.d/99swap open it in editor.

Change fsize= (swap file size) to size that you want in Megabytes

keep in mind that by default swap file will be create every reboot in another place of your SD card. it require double free space on your SD. (ex. if your SWAP file 256 Mb than you need to have 512 Mb free on your SD (256 for SWAP + 256 space to create new one))

If you don't want to create new SWAP every reboot (to increase boot time or if you want huge SWAP file), then change another line in 99swap file

Change recreate_on_boot=1 to 0

Script will create swap file and will just enable it every reboot (no recreation)

- If you created SWAP partition by third app, Then You need to format your SD, and create new EXT partition (bigger size)

All data will be lost on SD.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
when I was installing from Aroma.. I think 64mb was clicked.. I didn't change any setting while installing.. so I can change as Method 1 u listed rite.. without formatting my SD card..

and I always have like 4gb free in my SD card.. how large a Swap should I make.. would it help me the more it is.. ??
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Hey you never responded :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] MaxWorks:
well. i'm using 256mb and this is more then enough.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
Can you put all this ROM in 1 zip file rather than 3 separate flashable zips, Makes it easy to add the latest version to my kitchen then, thanks.

[MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION] i have only 1 zip file with full rom..all the rest are OTA updates flashable zips..so what exactly you want me to join? you can download all files on my dev-host account and do it as you want..i think those files are public.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
but a OTA update is the same just with only partial files, can you not merge all the files from the updates in to 1 zip?
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=477694]fma[/MENTION]96 [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] .. which touchpad game can I test this on ?? plz advise anything quickly so I can test.. I am using Turbo Kernel v3.1 ..

[MENTION=4259536]MaxWorks[/MENTION] so you mean have to Edit the files.. Using Es Xplorer Editor.. and just save the file.. right !! my sd card wont wipe doing this.. or bootloop of ROM right.. am tired restoring my ROMS every other day.. lolz
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
What are you on about?
[Xperia Play Android Development] MaxWorks:
You need to edit file. save it and reboot. SWAP file will be increased.

You can check your SWAP file size by command 'free' in the console emulator
