[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
thanks for your words,but as i said a while a go im not porting any rom for play unless is something new and good for this phone..we have many roms working flawless on every android version (GB,ICS,JB)..so no point releasing a rom without any new features..i will update some of my most important roms (mainly JB) cause i really dont like ICS too much for play..it s a ram eater.:(

i use now my play only for games, mainly i use my arc S for daily use,so if any new rom come out will be for arc S phone.;)

merry christmas to all.
[Xperia Play Android Development] erwinstyd:
still downloading and want to tested this rom xD exited!
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i miss my xperia play..new update of this rom as soon as i get my phone fixed..:o
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Touch screen is dead on my play as well hoping in a month or so to have another play
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
O NOOO +1 :banghead:
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Since I had different phone I flashed to my play I love this lockscreen wallpaper it's killer to bad stock ics doesn't like cdma
[Xperia Play Android Development] velan1:
i flashed this rom, its the coolest rom i've ever seen,

prob: when activate wifi tethering, it shows in my lap but no internet is connecting, any solutions...
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Tried this rom for 3 days and it's actually pretty cool. But the battery life, good lord... xD It drains battery like mad, even in standby, without gaming (didn't overclocked either because I run emulators mostly on my play) and only some SMS send to contacts.

Improving the battery life would make this rom incredible awesome and it's basically the only "complaint" I had, after the 3 days.
[Xperia Play Android Development] velan1:
for me its the first day, still now using battery at 85% after 6 hours using call,msg and Surfing..
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
battery life depends on user sometimes..lower your brightness,use default cpu with interactiveX or intellidemand on lupus GB+ICS..if doesnt work try other governors like smartassv2/sio or noop.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
use this APK:

https://code.google.com/p/android-w...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk&can=2&q=

Settings

Device - Google NexusOne (HTC Passion)

Disable Wifi Driver Reload 2

Enable Wifi Driver Reload 1
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Tried most of the things you mentioned (using the lupus GB+ICS kernel). Lowering the brightness to only 1/4 o the bar and disabling the auto-brightness is also something I did with every other phone of mine before ^^

And I'm actually aware of the usage-drain. But this can't be the flaw alone here. Some people here in this topic actually confirmned the battery drain. So I'm not alone with that.

Compared to the Ice Cream Speed rom, I'm using right now, this rom drains battery almost twice as fast under any kind of usage.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
will look into that on next release for sure..this rom is very good for xperia play.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] walkwitmeinhel:
Can someone just upload the systemui.apk and systemui preference of this rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] velan1:
Thanks, as for battery life see screenshot
[Xperia Play Android Development] velan1:
Sorry ss again
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
it seems good for me.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] velan1:
Yup fine for me#:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
mainly it depends on user usage...and battery old or not..i ve tested this and i dont release a rom before testing at least for two days and 2 cycles of battery..and i heavy test a few hours with FB apps,whatsapp and others..

i try to optimize battery life always and performance

..sometimes its hard..but i try my best as it is important to me like to all users.

my latest JB rom is uploading..and for arc S battery life is amazing on normal use..lets see how it goes for play cause i didnt tested..not enough donations yet..:(
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Well, I will try to play around with some more governors. Maybe that will help.

But I have another question. Is there a way to disable the battery percentage indicator? I'm more a fan of the graphically indicator and find it pretty pointless having two icons of the same kind in the bar, lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you have an option there..i cant remember where to disable battery percentage..it only stays stock one.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] walkwitmeinhel:
Still no one reply my answer
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
just download the rom and test it..why you want that?;) its normal systemUI for ICS roms.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Hm, looked into every menu and couldn't find it. You sure it's there?

If not, is there still a way to disable it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
You can try with Rom toolbox or pimp your Rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Anyone noticed the graphical glitch in the dialer? Wenn you put in a number, you automatically see a list of numbers from your phonebook (if they match the number or parts of it, as soon as you type). The number list glitches into the virtual keypad and makes the dialing numbers hard to see.

I took a screen (see attachments).

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I couldn't find it under the "Bugs" section of the OP.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i did answer to someone about that..i think its a theme thing..try other theme and see if it correct.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
new update of this rom.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] XPlayera:
Changelog for version 6?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
you can flash over latest version

reduced size

battery life improved,use lupus gb+ics V7

more free ram

other minor tweaks
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
i found a bad bug inside this version

when you press power button your phone will soft reboot :o

but everything else was super fine ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] hsarkangel:
Yeah... x.x
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
err...that bug wasnt on previous version..report any more bugs if any..gaming performance and battery life its better?:p

for the moment use system toggles to reboot or turn off phone..i will fix that bug.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MegaRacingHD:
Can´t download it the rom --> no link.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
uploaded fixed version i hope..try and please report bugs.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
downloading :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
nice..try new lupus GB+ICS V7 modified by bakisha..;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pippo Mandiri:
Use NXT on my Neo L....

Cannot tethering....

Is it bugs?

So far so good,nice and like it...
[Xperia Play Android Development] mrbtree98:
i've still got the power button issue on the new build.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
use a solution i provided for you on other thread..its the same to make it work.;)

err..i ve got to look into it..on arc its working flawless..for now use system bar buttons..i will see what is wrong.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pippo Mandiri:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] which thread Sir?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
May i ask which firmware do i use? :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
if you are already on lupus ICS as i see on your sig, you just wipe all like OP on 1 post and flash the rom.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
Opps i had changed my rom back to nxt 2 r1 and i didn't update my sig ^^

I guess i should use firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced V3
[Xperia Play Android Development] MegaRacingHD:
Wow this rom is very fast. I think this is the best ICS rom I´ve ever tried. MC4 runs without any lags.

Confirm the bug with the power button.

Anyway nice rom mate ! Respect !
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
I've flashed this ROM today and I can confirm two things

1) Power button bug :crying::crying::crying:

2) MC 4 and other games runs very good.

Very nice ROM, Bravia Engine 2 really works :D isn't there any way to reboot the phone without using the power button ? Sorry fot the stupid question and for my bad english :angel:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Frutak:
Yes its really great rom ;) and You can add a widget button in status bar :D menu-->setting-->Ultimate HD--> StatusBar--> Widget buttons--> and set reboot action and Shutdown action ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Pippo Mandiri:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] : thx a lot Sir....

Try it later :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
Very fast and nice looking rom. Better than Express ICS and Xperia Z final v5. And i don't know why the power button bug has gone after some usage, probably i switched off something in the settings i guess :/

Will try Gangstar Vegas on it later :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
hum..so its settings problem..please share your settings maybe helpfull for users and for me easier to see what is wrong..

[MENTION=4053663]Bakisha[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4943716]pedyvirus[/MENTION] maybe can take a look.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
Here's what normally i did in the settings everytime i changed to a new rom, (if i didn't missed anything):

wifi sleep policy: switched to never

auto brightness: off

brightness: 10%

auto rotate screen: off

sleep: after 30 seconds

font size: small

osb: off

touch sound: off

screen lock sound: off

window animation scale: animation off

transition animation scale: animation off

force gpu rendering: off

Here's a story(the following story is what happened last night and its based on my memory):

I think osb causes the problem cuz if i still remember, i tried to switch off osb. I disabled it and it says need to reboot phone, so i pressed the power button to give it a soft reboot. After soft reboot, the buttons remain there, so i again go to settings to switch off osb, then i go to quick toggles and reboot. After reboot, the osb is gone and i use it normally. And after some time i realise i was pressing the power button to unlock & to lock screen and it didnt do soft reboot!

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Opps!!! holding the power button still does soft reboot! i forgot!

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

pedyvirus says press power button gives soft reboot, but my problem is holding power button give soft reboots

if my problem is same with u guys, i guess i have to remove my long@$$ story :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
I can take a look

Can someone can test option "power button ends call" in setting->accessibility to see is it soft-rebooting with that option on/off?

Does this ROM have reboot options? (power off-reboot-reboot to recovery)

As i understand it worked in V5.1.2 ?

Edit: logcat would be nice to see, too
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
Few things about the Walkman:-

1) Missing album art in Now Playing.

2) Missing play queue (it pops up after pressing album art or pressing menu key so i can go to music list instead of everytime pressing My Music > Tracks > scroll

way down to the music u playing.

3) Missing bass toggle in the Sound Enhancement

4) Missing surrounding sound in Sound Enhancement where u can set Off or Club or Auditorium, etc

Idk if Xperia Z or ZU's walkman does look like this or the features are missing...
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
i tried too muchto fix this problem (because your version is much faster than my own version) but i didn't find the problem :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
Nice rom... Touchpads works perfect

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Use xperia Z walkman by rizal lovers.... Works perfect...
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
post here the link to the thread..or just post here download as i have rizal lovins permissions to use his app on my roms.;)

but this rom is meant for gamers,without many heavy stuff..so if anyone wants more i will add on 1 post as addon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
U mean this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060033
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
yes.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
I just found this and i hope it works http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206189
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
that one maybe its the same this rom has..OP is the same so i think he may included his walkman z on his rom..;)

better try rizal lovins mod..its better for sure.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
ok i might give i a try, when using any mods but i always have a fear that it will give bootloop or brick my phone lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
just backup your rom first.:)

you can install any walkman mods for xperia devices from rizal lovins..just read well OP instructions first and you will be fine.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
This rom works in ftf for xperia r800a.... For Brazilian users this Is perfect
[Xperia Play Android Development] XenonPGH:
i found a bug, the "swipe up or down to unlock" is missing
[Xperia Play Android Development] MegaRacingHD:
I found the problem with the power button: I deleted all ini.d tweaks and now it´s working. Maybe there is a tweak which didn´t really work.

I will try to add them one-by-one to see which one causes this bug.

EDIT: No it´s the fault of SemcGenericUxp.apk, framework.apk and services. I changed them from Ultimate HD5.1 and now it works !
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
hum..or maybe frameworkres.apk only or services only..did you tried? try one by one starting on those to see.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MegaRacingHD:
Ok I flashed the old services and it still worked. Then I flashed framework-res.apk and it crashed. So it´s the fault of framework-res.apk.

Wow with the new services my free ram is on start something around 220-230. Incredible !
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
thats what i thought..i wil make a flashalble fix for that. thanks.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Xplay21:
bricked my phone via rom toolbox pro while trying to install a font. Anyways will be giving this rom a try, having previously tried the Express ICS and the Z Final i will post my opinion on this rom. Looks great so far
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
how you do that? but now its working. it seems..just install a flashable font on recovery..you have many threads with secure flashables and i guarantee you not bricking your phone..;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Xplay21:
Well i have no idea how using that app ruined my phone but it did, luckily i backuped all my photos etc. And btw when i tried downloading your Ultimate hd v6.0, it downloads v5 instead.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
cant be..i clicked this minute and brings me to dev host v6 ultimate HD.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Xplay21:
Nvm once u actually install it, it says Ultimate HD V6. Good job rom looking so good so far especially how you can add widgets to the status bar. Something the other roms don't have :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
released a flashable zip on 1 post,to fix bug on power button..hopes that solves the problem.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mrbtree98:
Can't check if it's fixed the power button as after flashing the fix, i'm stuck in a bootloop. i've tried everything, not wiping cache, wiping cache, wiping dalvik, etc but can't get it to install. Hope you can look into it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
I've tried this ROM for some time and didn't have any problem, apart the power-off button, just replaced the launcher with Apex Launcher because the stock ROM launcher was laggy for me.

Anyway I'm waiting for a working fix for the power off button. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
try this fix for xperia play and neol: 1 post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Alvin Satrio Wibowo:
thank you for the fix, it works for me :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] mrbtree98:
the new fix works like a charm.
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
It works also for me :good: thanks.

[MENTION=254495]denisfgn [/MENTION] see my new blog on my sig..i have a exclusive rom there only for testing purposes..HONAMI Z1..i need to upload one last file but the rom boots like that..so in 15 minutes or so i will have the fix posted there..if you wanna help testing i will appreciate.

(vai no meu blog que está na minha sig e adiciona me aos circulos do g+, o blog é novo e o canal do youtube tambem com novos videos e mais novidades e roms em exclusivo!)
[Xperia Play Android Development] denisfgn:
unfortunately I can not remember if this bug happened in the previous version ...
[Xperia Play Android Development] alquelt:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] i can help with the testing, phone is neoL
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
the rom is working fine now, for xperia play and neoL i think..no bugs and fix added to 1 post.;)

thanks anyway for offering..if i need some tester on some rom i will pm you.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
Can you teach me how to apply this ROM?

I just tried to unlock bootloader of my Neo L and i dont know what to do next. Can you please instruct me what to do next and what do i need? thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
look on my sig..you have a link to my blogspot with those newcomers tutorials.:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] Fastboot you mean fastboot via flashtool? And what should I download for the ROM, that patch with Neo L ? Wipe factory data/ factory reset via CWM? and what do you mean by NEOL users only-flash patch.reboot? please enlighten me, quite new. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeromesitc:
You need to install the required kernel for this ROM by using Fastboot mode in Flashtool. You should download the ROM for Xperia Play and also the patch for Neo L if you're using Xperia Neo L, but if you're using Xperia Play, you don't need to download the patch. Wiping everything on CWM is for the clean installation of the ROM to avoid any problems on installation such as bootloop.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lazl0brav0:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] cant see the cover art album in walkman, nothing i can see only blank, it only shows cover art album when the screen is lock, any fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
patch for neoL ONLY if you have a neol user..if its xperia play follow my instructions on 1 post..you gonna be fine.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
How can i patch NeoL? flash via flashtool? how to wipe factpry/ factory reset? Via CWM?

Its best if you included the tools to be used and how to's so that everyone can easily understand. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] lazl0brav0:
Yeah via CWM, you can see it in cwm, and the NeoL patch via CWM too, after you install ultimatehd6, dont reboot, install the NeoL patch then dont reboot again, flash the power button fix then reboot now, just wait and your done, then flash the wifi fix for your kernel via CWM :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
[MENTION=5493037]lazl0brav0[/MENTION] is CWM the same as ROM Manager? or no? what install ultimatehd6 did you mean really? that Nxt Kernel for NeoL? I cant see any ROM that is for Neo L. please clear my mind. And Im a little confused over boot into boot loader, whenever i try the power button + volume down, my phone just go to safe mode. No boot loader, is there any requirments to put on bootloader?
[Xperia Play Android Development] lazl0brav0:
Are ur bootloader is unlocked? if yes you gonna need to flash the Nxt kernel via fastboot in flashtool, the cwm is in Nxt so to access it, you need to press volume down mant times when sony screen appears. you will install ultimatehd6 there :cowboy:
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
done that, and booted to cwm. installed ultimateHD6 and rebooted, now stucked at SONY logo.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lazl0brav0:
what happen bro? u followed the instructions?? there's something wrong, can you tell what you did? i'll help you
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
Fastboot Kernel, Install ROM via CWM, Wipe date/factory reset via CWM, Install NeoL Patch via CWM, Install the Power button fix then reboot. ( I miss out this thing, power button fix) and install wifi fix after.

Right now, I cant install the Power Button Fix, CWM Says

what does you mean by this? thanks

[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] [MENTION=5493037]lazl0brav0[/MENTION]
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
do not flash all together!:good:

flash rom,reboot,flash neol patch,reboot,flash fix.reboot.all done.
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] ill check it, but is it normal, Gallery is missing?

Patched the fix, ill check right now. Will update right away. Thank button done.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
gallery is missing?hum..dont know about that..it has all features.:confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] lazl0brav0:
i flash it all together, it works, my steps are, flash the rom, then the neol patch , then the power button fix, then reboot , it works :good:

then i flash the wifi fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
Finally got it working.

Noticed, the screen lock is missing sometimes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
:eek:..did you make a clean install on this version? if anybody has same errors please report. i will fix it.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] beanito:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] there is someone here posted about this. what did you mean clean install? do i need to format my sd card? and i think mobile data isnt working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
no need to format sdcard..only wipe data/factory reset and format system/data.

install the rom..mobile data should work, did you install your apn settings? try to see if that is ok.:cool:
