how is the gaming? real racing 3 shadowgun dead zone? free ram?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Real Racing 3 is little laggy (Not in framerate, but occasional slowdowns due loadings in background). On stock speed, FBiX, Timescape and all fancy ICS stuff is installed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
if i install it without facebook etc.. it will be smooth? what is the the free ram on boot with this rom? thanks again
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Free RAM after installation is between 100MB (full) and 200MB (lite).

I tried RR3 on full, and it's playable, i guess it will run better on lite ROM settings. Can't test it anymore, i've delete it (in my opinion, game sux).
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
i will test it today if i have time and give my opinion.. thanks for your work!we need those ics/jb roms..
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Well..I have to say.its the best ics I have ever flashed on my xp!FAST asphalt runs great real racing great shadowgun dead zone great.little bugs like the clock.aroma installer is works as promised.180-200 free ram with all the apps restored!little lag with z launcher in the app drawer(menu) but I am using holo so it's not metter to me.what else can you ask?my daily Rom from now. thanks again for your work!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I'm glad you like it :)

I recommend using any start-up manager to prevent unwanted apps to boot with system.

Feel free to report any bugs so i could add them to buglist or to fix them, if i can.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
One more bug data is off and the reception icon still display it like it's on..and the network mode icon in the quickpanel is broken.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Sorry for bothering you but how can I "fix" that "problem" with the text in the quick panel can't see nothing..look what I mean in the quickpanel where it writes "link2sd etc..."change font or what I need to do?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I don't think changing font will help, but try to just change theme (extract them from zip and install normally) or try different quickpanel (neon, blue and ics-quickpanel are the ones with icons on top).

I'll look into 2g/3g toggle icon, i think it can be fixed (it was working in v2.0)
[Xperia Play Android Development] bartmw:
That systemui bug. Check few post earlier is link to thread about clock issue. Follow link and download fixed systemui.
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:

[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
this happens to me on 480p versions..do you have 720p? if not,flash lupus GB+ICSV5720P.:cool:
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
I am on lupus ics gb v3 480p enjoying the free ram (180-225)..so I will live with that "scrolling problem" /: 720 is ram hungry and will destroy the gaming on ics..but thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
My advice, at least try 720p version. If your games closes due the lack of RAM, switch back to 480p. I'm on 720p, TS, FBiX and others semc apps installed and still no game kick me out due lack of RAM. Only game i didn't test is MC4.

Hi

I'm looking for Xperia Play games launcher. It was in few ICS roms I've try but not in this. I install one from Google market but... makes my phone laggy when game execute that way. Tried to use launcher from beta ICS and others but not showing as app when installed.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
It is not in rom for the same reasons you said.

There is workaround for bug: after you start your game from launcher, long hold home button and swipe game launcher from recent apps.

And without game launcher, at least phone unlocks when you slide out gamepads...

Fix please
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
What bug?
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
Written in the application event Facebook, do not appear
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
If you mean in share app widget, then you are right, it doesn't refresh/show apps.

Maybe it's FB fault, or widget don't work with all launchers.

I'll look into it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
No man

Look
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Ok, sorry for missunderstanding, now i understand. Don't know why is like that, but i'll look into it.

Btw, you can take screenshot with power+volume up button
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
Thanks for support friend....

I can not press both buttons together ...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I still have lot to learn, but hopefully i can implement screenshot and reboot to power menu. It might take some time, not much time for pc these days...

Great.... Thanks man...

Installing problems

With the new version I'm not capable of changing anything inside aroma. You are oblige to use defaults... because if you change something it stuck when rebooting
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I never had that problem...

But, if you are coming from another rom or you changed kernel type before flashing this rom, you should format data and system partition from recovery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pablete197:
It still the same, i change something and it get stuck on the bootanimation
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I really don't know what is causing that...

Unless you have locked bootloader, R800x model, or you use kernel other then Lupus ics/gb v7...
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you can use lupus v12 ics 720p for sure also..or even doomkernel ICS..sure its not kernel related..maybe firmware .58? even with .62 i got it booted on 2.5..still dont have time to test 2.6 version.:(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Any kernel based on stock should work. Difference will be in data partition size only (even on .42 firmware). Unless he use lupus v3 ics/gb wich had 280MB system partition. I calculated properly, and even with all option included and all variations it doesn't goes above 305MB

Ps: V2.6 is basicly same rom as v2.5(+patch) and new launcher. And reworked aroma, but nothing that can cause bootanimation bootloop

Ps2; It's ok, i still also don't have time to test JB roms (busy at work and damn hot summer). At least i'm testing games on this ics, so i know what work (or not) on JB :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pablete197:
i have a R800i,l i have th bootloader unlocked and use lupus gb+ics v7
[Xperia Play Android Development] david7380:
Hey guys I have the exact same problem, if I change anything inside the Aroma installer I get Bootloop, this happens to me only on V2.6. I tested with both Lupus gb+icsV5 and gb+icsV7 720p.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Please use V2.5+patch for now.

I am trying to recreate error, but without luck.

I'm sure that only one option when is ticked cause bootloop (probably because not moved to system/app)

But i need your help too. If you are willing to help, please tell what option you are checked/sellected.

And please tell what firmware and kernel you are using, did you wipe partitions from recovery before flashing, are you manage to boot rom once and get bootloop when rechoosing options... These info can help recreate problem and solve it
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
im gonna test it now..on lupus GB+ICS V7 480p..i tell you in a moment what is happening..wait a few minutes.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] david7380:
Thank you guys for your quick reply. I wiped partitions from recovery.I am on Firmware 0.62 and Lupus GB+ICS V7 720. The options I am choosing in Aroma are: Xperia z launcher, xperia T Quickpanel, Rosemary fonts, xperia z keyboard, xperia z messages, sony smoke bootanimation. All the Rom specials and SEMC addons. Digital clock+recent calls+notes widget. Boostmyxperia+cpucontrol+exchange+googlemaps. So far I am still stuck at boot animation when choosing those options.

I will try to download again and repeat the process just to make sure it was not a bad download.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
firmware 79 lupus GB+ICS 7 480p. flashed rom on TRWP.

MY OPTIONS: xperiat launcher+xperia t+sonysketch+xpera z keyboard+xperia z white+smokerman bootanimation+trackid+digital clock

booted fine. :)

ps: i really hate this font..OMG..second time i choose it.:p gonna flash UBUNTU font.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I think i found it. It's Rosemary fonts fault. Please don't choose it untill i found out why is causing bootloop.

Thank you very much for your help!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Lol i'll include it in next version :)

Thanks for testing
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Omfg! Aroma installer is really pucky lol

In updater script is command to extract folder named "RoseMary" and actual folder is named "Rosemary". It's case sensitive :-/

I'll upload new version later today
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
dont choose ubuntu font..it causes some bad characters on german language and others..better nokia pure or other..but that sonysketch really for me..uglyest font i ever seen!:D:D:D

ps: that s why i dont include aroma..it takes double checking..one minor thing..causes a big error,and to try to fix it..we change,change and if lucky we can solve it quickly..if not, all work redone..:eek: i remove most of my hybrid cause in the end download was 320mb with all options..so i stripped down to 196mb.:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I test all fonts on pc before flashing to phone. If have cyrilic in, then i guess it's multilanguage.

I started aroma from zero, and add 1 thing, then test, then add next, test and so on... In v2.6 was reworked so if i want to add new things, all i need is to copy-paste few lines in aroma-config and updater-script... And to make sure that folders are matched in case sensitive way :)

Maybe rom size is bigger, but all i have to care is that system folder is less then 310MB
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Bootloop fixed

Choose the one with custom partition and v7-ram in filename
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Yes, full is 720p. Wedgess rename it because mediafire don't allow words 480p or 720p in filename. But everybody here in forum calls it 480p or 720p.

I´ve installed the rom. but i have on question. what is the governor for gaming? End cpu min/max?

THX
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Depends on game. I guess 1.2GHz smartass2 sio should be enough for both gaming and daily use. Ofcorse, you can go up to 1.6GHz and perfomance governor, to maximize Play's capabilities...

Hi

I facing problem with Walkman app. When i click on My Music i the app , it says "Unfortunatly download music info has stopped". Please help. I am on NEO L
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Go to settings->apps->all , delete cache and data from "download music info" app and restart

If that doesn't help remove/uninstall SemcMetadataCleanup.apk from system/app

That should fix that problem.

(on XPlay that feature works ok)

Are you on locked or unlocked bootloader?

Ps: tnx for feedback, i guessed it would work on Neo L since it have Neo L ics as base
[Xperia Play Android Development] Anic21:
Removed SemcMetadataCleanup.apk & now its working fine :o

Are you planning to update this ROM as its best ICS ROM for NEO L :o ???

Thank you
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I might release small update and add on-screen-buttons in aroma, but this version is good enough to be final.

If you say that is working on Neo L without bugs, i can add, in aroma, option for Neo L.

Are you on locked bootloader? I guess that's why music info is not working...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Anic21:
I am on unlocked BL with Lupus v3 ICS/GB Kernel for NEO L.

The only problem was Walkman music info & its resolved by deleting SemcMetadataCleanup.apk. I haven't tested whole Function but it look like all the major functions works very well in this ROM.

It will be great if you add Aroma option for NEO L :o

Thank you
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
or you can add a simple neoL patch to flash after 1 install.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Anic21:
I am not developer hence cant release any patch :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I'll make a patch later today.

[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] is build.prop and default-capabilities.xml enough or i need to add/replace anything else?

What is system/data partitions on Neo L stock/lupus/other kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
its enough and add mediaprofiles.xml also.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Here, patch is ready:

Google disk or mediafire

Please report back is it working properly so i can include it in first post
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Thanks, but mediaprofiles.xml was already the same, so i didn't included.

In your opinion, what is recomended kernel for Neo L? Any tips based on your expirience for Neo L users?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Anic21:
Its working but when i connect to it shows Xperia Play. Please check attached file.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
You are right. I'll look into it, but it sound like it's windows driver related.

I've tested it, it is Neo L in PC companion and build.prop is reverted as in original ics .631 for Neo L. It report as xperia play in "my computer" in PC, but i toutght it is because i have Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] masteril:
Installed. very nice looking very good ram and gaming for ics.only one thing..it drains battery..deleted anonymous stats and fast dormancy and even used scripts and its still drain battery.any solution?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
if you have lot of music on sd card, it need some time rom to settle down..

Also, did you include "throw" feature in walkman (semcdlna)? Maybe it could be the reason, and only if you setup network on pc (if using same wifi network/router)

Otherwise, it should be around 2% per hour, +/- 1%. Screen time depends on your battery
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
Update?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I don't think so.

It's stable so no need for fixes/patches

If you want more featured rom, you could use Hultimate HD5, Z final v5, Honami v2 or Iridescent_Zed_One rom

Or you could use xposed framework with this rom (and author of xposed framework recommended not to include in rom but as separate addon)
[Xperia Play Android Development] senadin001:
which kernel i can use for this rom excluding stock ics/gb v7(480p/720p) ??

can i use custom kernels ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Doomlord ICS-beta v03, Lupus ICS v12 or Turbo Kernel v3 (but video recording don't work in turbo kernel)

Basicly, as long as kernel is ICS Sony based (not CM based), it should work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] senadin001:
i'm actually asking about this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804003

can i use this one (720p version) for Neo2Play rom ?

and one more question, about xLoud, when i turn it off in settings-sounds, it is much louder than when i turn it on, is it reverted bug or it should be like that, becaouse i'm not familiar with xloud.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Yes, you can use Lupus ICS v12.

I never experienced xloud bug in this rom. Try to switch it on/off while playing music or when choosing ringtone. Leave it off if it is louder :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] senadin001:
thanks, your rom is great, smooth and also good in games :) (touchpads also amazing)

flashed it for my daily use :)

The Xperia T quickpanel doesn't install, only the v9.1 SeraJr, but overall, I love all the options for this rom! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I'm pritty sure it works because it's my favorite.

But i can't recall how it beheave on upgrade. Clean install will for sure fix that problem, or you could reinstall, and after that, goto settings-apps-all apps and clear data from systemui, systemuipreferences and quickpanelsettings (basicly, problem is corrupted data from prevuous systemui).

Ps: i recommend xpose framework with this rom. Lot of plugins works, my favorite was the one with reboot options.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
a new update it wasnt a bad idea..and maybe its good if you follow FB cause your rom is being spoken like one top ICS for play and neoL..and i agree.:D

Battery life is bad even if not playing games, is this because of ROM or because of my battery ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Probably because of ROM.

In all my time usinng this ROM (and it was more then year - just simply it is suited to my taste) i have never figure out what is causing battery drain. At first, battery life was great, but as time passes, for some unknown reason, it start to drain. Maybe it's updated gapps, maybe it's broken media files on SD card, maybe it's just my apps. But, it never troubled that much because i always have time to charge...
[Xperia Play Android Development] senadin001:
Me too think that it is because of ROM, because earlier my battery can take up to 2 days(with playing some games) and now i only play flappy bird cca 30 min and have to charge a battery twice a day. It's discharging even if i lock the phone and leave it for 1 hour without touching it.(for 1 hour , 5-10% battery discharged ) :(

If you find fix for this, reply that we all know :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i dont know if its not kernel related also..wich kernel are you guys using?

Does this work on locked bootloader?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Not on Xperia Play (you need custom kernel to be able to run this, or any, custom rom)

But it should work for Neo L with locked bootloader.

Oh well, I'm working on getting the bootloader unlocked anyway

Please Update this ROM

[MENTION=4053663]Bakisha[/MENTION] I request you to update this ROM. I am using this ROM from more than 6 months but the only problem I am facing is battery drains faster. Can you update this ROM to make it more battery friendly ?

Also When I cgoose Video Mode in Camera, it says "Unfortunatly Camera has been stopped" . Any solution for this ?

I am using Lupus 480P kernel.

EDIT: My device NEO L

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
As i said before, i never figure out why it drain battery faster compared to other roms. My guess is link2sd, broken media files on sdcard, google apps or even xda app...

I don't know much about Neo L's problems, on Play camera is ok (on first run it fc, but on next everything is ok as long as you choose 480p in settings to match kernel)

Did you flashed patch for NeoL from first post?

Is there any other kernel for Neo L for stock-based ics (maybe even stock kernel)?
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
How fast does it drain battery exactly ? I've finished flashing this ROM 10 minutes ago :)

During the day, I use the phone to play some games (not heavy ones) and emulators (for NDS and GBA) for max 2 hour, I have wifi turned on almost all day and when I haven't got wifi on I use 3G data. I don't surf much the net, maybe 10-20 minutes per day but I have Whatsapp running on background 24/24.

Di you think can reach the end of the day starting from 6.30 on morming with 100% battery ?

Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance :)
