Hey there,

I didn't want to create a new thread so I'm asking here:

I wanted to re-root my Xperia Z after the Software got updated by the Sony Center, because after the my root was gone.

After I read the posts here, I believe I have to wipe to factory.. is it right?

Regards
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibecatalin:
Not necessarily.

Mine worked after update, but then after a few CWM flashes the root got wierd ( forced reboots when mountin RW) and then I've wiped, seems ok, for now :)

So give it a try.

The intro says:

Hello Android community! I'm an advanced developer of custom roms on XDA.

I'd like to continue my Xperia Play Z rom here. The rom will be available on Android-Hilfe.de starting today (May 4th 2013).

I've invested a lot of time and I hope you appreciate it more than the XDA community.

Instructions:

1. Download the rom and put it on your SD card

2. Also download R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf (link on german site)

3. Flash the .ftf file using flashtool.

4. Unlock the bootloader (link on german site is... you guessed it, german)

5. Download Lupus Stock ICS&GV v4 kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167766

6. Flash it using fastboot with the command: fastboot.exe flash boot xxx.img (don't forget to put your phone into fastboot mode)

7. Now go to recovery: press the volume down after the vibration

8. Go to install a zip and find the rom.zip you downloaded

9. The first boot takes a while, be patient

Hi, I have tested the v.1.1.0, and debloated it a lot to see if I can get more free ram to play real racing 3 on this Rom, but I can't get more than 120/130Mb, if you guys got more than this, could you help me please??:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedyvirus:
this rom has 100 mg of ram reserved for gaming so it means you have 220-230mg free of ram
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_like_chicken:
Mark has just recently released v1.2.0 :D

Changelog:

PSPocket removed

Send anonymous user status removed

Several duplicates deleted

Browser replaced by Chrome WALKMAN, album and movies updated to latest version

New Sony sound driver

Odekaka. Apk, DTCIPlayer. Removed

New scripts for more stability
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konstruktor:
it's one of the better ICS. i tried it and everything worked fine (except display bug in the timer app - but it's a theming issue from the z version i guess).

but don't expect a fluid experience like on GB. it comes quite near but for every day use i need to spare every second i can.

version 1.1 ran real racing really good for me. fluid. does not feel it falls behind GB. every 3d game should run fine. but in CPU intensive tasks like emulators (N64, PSX) - GB is the way to go if you don't want to overclock and loose battery life.

krisdee's hybrid rom also looks promising. if someone want to try ICS i would recommend those two.

Has anyone tried v1.2.0?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_like_chicken:
v1.2.0 is a little buggy and seems slow but the An Tu Tu score is higher :eek:,also Mark announced he's working on v1.2.1.

My advice is stay on v1.1.0 as it is more stable or wait for 1.2.1

UPDATE: Mark is no longer working on v1.2.1, he's moving straight into v1.3.0 (Maybe Final)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Overall v1.2.0 works pretty good but the inclusion of Chrome as default browser makes it more unstable because it uses more ram than the ICS standard browser.

Maybe v1.1.0 is a little more balanced and stable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_like_chicken:
I'm curious to know if you had any problems with link2SD on v1.2.0. Because whenever i reboot i get the following message:

Using Phoenix rom and Lupus ICS&GB v5 kernel before flashing the Xperia Play Z rom I have 610MB of internal data storage so moving apps to the SD card in the classic way it's fine for me.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masteril:
already tried 1.2.0+gb&ics v3...good theming everything works but...this rom is a mess,took me 1 hour to debloat it.working smooth on the "home" screens.

gaming not so good real racing 3 lags...luncher got killed too often becuase of the "100 mb reserved" thing.

when you open the apps list the transition between screens is not smooth.and i checked and its rom fault.becuase the home screens are smooth and overclock is not helping.

1.1.0 is better?real racing 3 lags?how much free ram the 1.1.0 have?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_like_chicken:
In my opinion v1.1.0 is better as it is more stable.

I'm not sure if real racing 3 lags, but i play need for speed most wanted and it runs smoothly.

I get around 150mb of ram free using Memory Booster but i use tasker and other programs that constantly run in the background so you might be able to get more

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
I'm a little bit scared about trying v1.3.0 because after a couple of weeks using v1.2.0 I rolled back to v1.1.0.

To me v1.1.0 has the best balance between performance and features and a newer version maybe it's not a better version.

A quick view to the v1.3.0 flashable zip tells me that he has removed Chrome as the default browser, and that's good news, but the modded kernel to use... I don't know what to think about it. It's a modded Doomkernel v3 but Lupus is sooo much newer and improved...

I think I'll wait for more news about this latest version.

The link to the project forum is on the fifth message of this thread. In German.

Don't be afraid, it work on lupus v6 ics/gb kernel :)

But didn't test it for a long. Album fc when choosing "online". Probably because FBiX, or it was't enough space in /system (i didn't check). Volume is finaly loud and without xLoud bugs.

I didn't test game, i was just checking is it bootable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Keep us updated with your testing. ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasmoney10:
That's my feedback:

Battery with this kernel is not good like in Lupus Ics/Gb v6 i have 9hrs with moderate use.

Gaming is good but not Awesome and the ram is big problem everytime and i'm playing Dead Trigger or another the game, he's closes.

The User Data is very bad i get only 120 Mb with new kernel.

The sound enhancements, fc.

Face unlock is not working.

Online tab on Album, Fc.

Xloud is always active even when i disable the xloud in sound he still louder or high then before.

The rest is good but i think is better waiting a next update.

sorry for bad english.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNAKESMR:
interesante
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
Well, looks like it's out. Anyone tested? How is it?

Most of the people in the androidlife forum says it's pretty smooth.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
I think I'll give it a try.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Well, I installed last night the final version and my first impression is very good.

I think it's the Markphyton's finest work to date and the phone moves smoothly out of the box. I'd say now it has enabled UKSM by default to optimize memory use.

I'm working with the latest Lupus kernel so I can't say about the full Mark's package because it has it's own modified Doomkernel.

Apparently Lupus works fine and now it doesn't take forever to boot the phone.

I've found a couple of reboots and freezes while some heavy use (installing Mame4Droid from Google Play or using the browser) and I'm not sure if its some kind of issue with Lupus kernel because I didn't had modified CPU settings yet.

Thinking about the issue, it may happen when RAM is saturated so I enabled zram to help having more apps loaded. For now it worked but I've just used this rom for a few hours.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
Thank you. I actually installed it too, but It feels like it's lagging a bit, not sure if that is normal or not, this is my first ICS rom. I'm using the Doomkernel that came with the zip. Thinking about trying out Lupus kernel, but my main question is whether to use the 720p version, or the 480p version of the kernel. I have no idea what the differences are between them.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
480p has more ram so games are smoother but you lose the ability to record videos in 720p and HD videos cant be watched. 720p has 720p recording but I think you lose around 20 megabytes of ram.

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
Oh ok. So it's a trade off. Thank you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
In other words, if you don't use video recording go for the 480p version for custom partitions. It will give you some extra free ram while keeping 480p video recording in case you need it.

By the way, I'm posting this using the phone browser while listening music with the Walkman app without problems, so seems zram is needed with Lupus kernel. :good:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
Alright, thanks for telling me. Lupus kernel is actually incredibly smooth. If anyone is using this rom, I highly reccomend lupus kernel over the doomkernel that comes with it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Tested this rom yesterday. Really nice looking, lot of features. Used lupus 480p, but after restoring backup, things started to slow down. Heavy games caused hotboots, logcat is screaming in red, xperia game launcher is fc-ing... Facebook integration is fixed by downloading facebook app. No timescape and it's widgets. Rom is heavy, that's for sure, but a lot of features is included.

ROM didn't settle down even after few hours of use.

Overall, great work from Mark, but still few things missing (timescape, full FBiX, OSB).

I'll try it again at weekend, when i have more time to test it.

I am not heavy gamer, as long fpse is working i don't care how much free ram there is.

Next time i'll enable zram first, for sure.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
I've been feeling the same too with this rom. Do you have any recommendations for other Jellybean/Ics roms? Also, how does this rom face against Xperia Play Z express?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Well, i didn't use many ics roms lately just because i learned how to mod any rom to suit my taste (and made one version of it, you can test it if you want), but there are others good ics roms lately from smokerman, pizza_dox or frago21 (that is just lately...).

I personaly like smokerman's JB Racing Xplay...

At the moment, i'm using Mark's Z final version, but i edited it a lot to my taste (to have fbix and TS working in album/walkman), so i can't say about it much...

As for Express Z ROM, when i saw it was copy-pasted from Mark's beta Z rom, i didn't even test it...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishvtt:
Thanks for the recommendations! I checked out smokerman's JB Racing Xplay, and I love it. Do you have a guide to modifying the roms though? As much as I like smokerman's, I don't like some of the themeing, and I think he has some unnecessary apps system installed, witch I'd like to remove. I also want to uninstall the stock keyboard and make the google keyboard the stock.

Also, I would love to check out the one you modified, If you have a link.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Well, the easiest way to change roms to your taste is to delete apk in system/app directly from zip file (before flashing). When booted into rom, i personaly use Android Commander for PC for bulk install/uninstall (or you can use root uninstaller from a phone, it's free on market)

You can check my rom, but Mark's rom have more features, and that's why i am intrested in it.

[MENTION=4855004]jcarbox[/MENTION] Are you still using this rom? Check out this mod, it's working nicely. I even edited framework-res.apk to enable osb (easier to access small apps)

Wow, this rom is actually, pretty nice. I was scared off initially because the screenshots made it look bad aesthetically, but In person, it looks very good. Only problem I'm facing right now, is that I don't have a keyboard. During the initial setup, whenever I try to type or something, the keyboard doesn't pop up.
