Ok i must make a su fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sedotwc01:
can't wait :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jason61:
Really nice and good ROM, Thanks!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] fliperpl:
hey dudes. Only for me UI is lagging as hell? Is it depends on SD card? Because i have cheap 16gb and its have not so good performance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
for xperia play always recommended a sd card class 10..i have one and for me its blazing fast in any rom.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] fliperpl:
ahh allright. That is why most rom-s are moving like crap. Okey then. Thanks!

Hey will this work with the Verizon R800x model?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
no..only GSM..for r800x roms, see my thread xperia play index..;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
Finally I got some time to try this rom. And guess what...

ITS BLAZING FAST!!!!

At first boot you have to let it settle (10-15 min) before use. It lags a bit at first but after that it feels to be as fast as gingerbread, or maybe faster... Also after a reboot it is good to let it for 2-3 minutes ;)

I havent been able to test many things because for some reason the multitastking button (the one between home and search buttons) doesnt work. It works inside apps in oder to show options, but long-pressing it doenst show open or recent apps. It does nothing.

I dont know if this is something that only happens to me, but I dont think its hardware damage because the buttons does work inside apps.

I'm on doomkernel (boot720.img) and replaced the vendor files, but I had to delete the system/vendor files in order to copy the new ones because system only has 6 mb free. Is this ok?

Thanks in advance!!!

Another thing, this rom doesnt allow overclock. When I try to do it, the phone sets itself in min:134 and max 134 mgz
[Xperia Play Android Development] sandy_tea:
For multitasking have u tried long press home button? It does that on my neo l though
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
Yes, your'e right!!!

I guess I have been too much time on my z1 compact that got used to the third button to be the multitasking one, instead of home (the one in the middle). Sorry :eek:

But the other bug is still there, the oc does not pass from 134 mhz. It seems to be on 576 ghz as default and is really smooth though. Also, it was said before that the root was faulty, but it isn't. It works, you just have to let the rom settle for a while and open superuser app, after that root will work. It is good to update busybox too.

Edited: The OC problem was that I tried to use "CPU control light" and "CPU frequency", other different apps (which didnt work) cause no frills was there but for some reason was not visible, so I couldn't open it. I realized it was there when it autoupdated and no frills icon appeared in the drawer. IT WORKS, so problem solved.

More feedback:

Antutu benchmark on 1.4 oc

9372!!!

Amazing!!!!

It has 2218 on 3d graphics and normal for ICS roms is ~1500

Excellent rom!

But It needs swap partition for gta vice city (which is normal) and has high battery drain. Don't know what's causing it (30% in around 1 hour of use, but its good in deep sleep).

Anyway, this is one of the best ICS roms ever for xperia play!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] vegeta2:
i cant boot in recovery :(

i have flashed the boot480.img

even if i try with :

fastboot boot boot480.img

it dosent go to recovery :/

came from 2.x

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

ok have flashed

R800_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf

and then boot480, now recovery workes with back

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

Only Doomkernel:

7.) After boot and Setup Assistent open Estrong File Explorer give him Root permissions

8.) search on your sdcard the Folder: copy this to vendor open it and mark all Folders and file in there

9.) copy all to System/vendor

10.) reboot your phone and enjoy the Rom

<- is this nessessery on ultimate?

becouse there is only the doom kernel and in discription you should choose =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
The description was for beta 4, which had both lupus and doomkernel. Utimate version has only doomkernel, so copy the files ;) I did it by deleting the files present in /system/vendor and then copying the new ones.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Miichaell:
After few days of using I made a reboot and some message showed up saying something like: "Updating Android, optimizing apps". After that I can't connect my phone to PC - in status bar only shows debugging icon and that's all (in MTP mode not all of the folders and files are visible). I tried two PCs and two USB cables, restarted everything, wiped cache (and dalvik), but still nothing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
turn usb debuggin off and then turn it ON..see if it works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Miichaell:
Nothing happened. I tried it already before. At first I don't know what should mean "Updating Android, optimizing apps" or something like that. This ROM is quite strange on my phone. With any other kernel than the built-in one does not work Play Store, now this. It looks like I have to go somewhere else.

EDIT: Now I flashed Lupus GB/ICS v7 and it seems to be working - at least USB connection works.

EDIT2: After few restarts the same - SD card is not connected to PC. I think it has something to do with Link2SD (however on GB it was ok).
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
well i think you found the problem..if you do a clean install, USB must work..if you connect extra apps like link2sd and it gives you problems..well..remove it.:good:

I am on v3. I cannot see the small apps when I pull down the status bar. Please helpme. Note : Before I flash the rom, I made a factory reset.
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
a little suggestion

make next version using lupus ics beta v12

it is fatser than doomkernel and you can make 480p kernel too

(but if you get the permission)

and can you please add another status bar as addon

this one is very heavy and use less(can you make real xperia z status bar?)
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
you must press 3 sec the home button^^.

[Xperia Play Android Development] 1c3_5n0w:
Thanks a lot for this ROM. Like other ICS ROMs, this ROM has crappy RAM management, but I use Fly On RAM Manager Hard Multitasking and it helps. Greenify does too. This ROM is flawless, there is nothing more you can ask for. OC @1.21GhZ can play Minion Rush, Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfers flawlessly. There isn't any home screen withdraw lag or what apple users refer to as 'respring' when you exit an app. I love everything in this ROM, but I hope the volume bar could be more Xperia, with the circle indicating the volume metallic. And the status bar could be more Xperia too, like the one in Express ICS from imputazz. Thanks for giving me an awesome ICS experience!

Can i install this rom in turbo kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] huzi7868:
Then flash with Fastboot the boot.img ( its a modifiyed Doomkernel V3 big thx and all credits for this kernel goes to Doomlord ) inside the zip.

dont understand this can someone explain

also if i flash 79 firmware will i have to root it again or just flash kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
look inside the rom zip, with winrar, 7zip or another programe, there is a boot.img file that's the kernel recommended

if you flash .79 ftf, you need to flash the kernel after and finaly flash the rom via recovery, the rom have root right, no need to root like all custom rom buddy.

[Xperia Play Android Development] sanderpunto:
Thanks looks nice.

I. Have used v1.1.0 a long time as my daily rom. I loved it because it had a lot of widgets and apps.

Sinds your final versions a lot of apps and widgets has been taken out of the rom. I tryed to install them back without any luck :( can you make addon packed for people like me.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
If i understand you'll remove aokp systemui preference? :crying:

Do you let 30% transparency like the 4.2.2 z rom, centered clock?

Will you put in back clock widget?

If I remenber well Z toogle bar don't have flashlight toogle.

Good to see you back here Mark, exelent work, exelent rom as usual.

I use it with lupus v7 ram and in term of gaming it close to perfection ( for our Play I mean), like a gb rom, a bit slow out of game but i'm able to play all of my favorit game without problem so nothing to say...

You rock buddy, keep on. :good:

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

if you want to install them back, you have to make some space in your /system, delete useless apps. Then install what you want with system apps installer

Voila
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
yes i will remove the AOKP systemui! the systemui eat lot of ram an make the phone instable! :(

[Xperia Play Android Development] jmetal88:
I really like this ROM, but one thing bugs me. Pressing the 'Menu' key at the home screen doesn't do anything! I'm so used to it bringing up the system settings that it feels really awkward to swipe down the notification tray before I can get to them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] r4_broadcast:
That is a Launcher thing... the Xperia Z Launcher doesn't have enabled that option...
[Xperia Play Android Development] jmetal88:
Yeah, I figured. It sucks, though, 'cause I really like everything else about that launcher. Argh. I'm gonna try to stick with this ROM for a while, though.

Hey Mark, NICE ROM!

only one cuestion, its posible to make swap on your rom? swaper dont work for me :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
Nice update!

If you need to get the most out of the memory try with ZRAM instead a swap file. It should be way faster than swap. You can set it between 60MB and 100MB for testing.

I updated my Xplay with v4 rom.i installed it from lupus gb/ics v7 kernel.rom is very impressive.performance increased a lot with all features as usual.just a change in notification bar which is cool now.

USE DOOMLORD V3 MODIFIED(RECOMMENDED) & LUPUS GB/ICS V7(2ND RECOMMENDED)

((((IF SOMEONE NOT GETTING DATA PARTITION MORE THAN AROUNG 400 USE LUPUS GB/ICS WHICH GIVES AROUND 600 MB))))

menu button does not bring settings as default.if u really want it.go for any other launchers.

THANKS FOR UR TIME AND FOR UR UPDATES [MENTION=219001]mark[/MENTION]PHYTON)
[Xperia Play Android Development] kalexel:
can you teach me how??? :silly:
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
Well, I don't know about Mark's kernel but I can tell you how to do it with Lupus kernel.

You can download it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167766

There are 4 current downloads and we should choose the v7 for custom partitions. There are 2 versions of v7: the full version is compatible with 720p video recording meanwhile the ram version is compatible only with 480p video recording but it gives you some extra free ram. If you want the best performance go for the ram version.

If you don't want to format your actual installation, flash the kernel with Flashtool as usual. But if you don't mind about it maybe you'd like to obtain another bonus: a 610MB data partition.

To get the bigger data partition, flash the .62 Phoenix firmware. You can download it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43935357&postcount=2

Boot it. Then flash Lupus kernel and finally install Xperia Play Z Final v4.

Whatever you do, once you have Lupus kernel and Mark's rom you must use a terminal emulator. This is a great option: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

Open the app and enter su to get root privileges. Then enter lupus to show the kernel menu. Enter 2 for Zram options, then 1 to enable it and finally enter the number of megabytes do you want to assign as Zram (between 60 and 100 is ok). And it's done.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kalexel:
awesome! thank you man my mistake here was that i dont know that i can use the mark's rom with lupes kernel

thanks for the help :D :D :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] jcarbox:
This rom works fine with Lupus kernel and custom partitions but both are unsupported features. Use it at your own risk. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
iam working on V5! i have make this changes atm:

V5 is lupus ICS/GB v7 supported alle features runs at the Ram edition from this kernel.

New sound libs ( bassboost, Clearaudio and suround from Xperia i1 implent )

increase alle Ram features ( Static NDS Emu runs now with full speed and no Sound lag )

more will come....

[Xperia Play Android Development] crownboyz:
What does it mean clean install??
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
im not a big fan of that..but you can add it after as addon right?;)

this roms (ICS i mean) with xperia z or similar are very heavy and system space is crucial..one app sometimes its the difference to get the rom booting or no..so every MB we can save (developers and others) its precious.:good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
fantastic :)

please optimize that for drastic nds emulator
[Xperia Play Android Development] r4_broadcast:
It is nice to have a Stock Sony Feel on my Play once again. I have very few complaints though:

when opening the Stock browser or the Facebook App, suddenly it closes... Maybe has to do with the RAM getting full or something.

But, taking that aside, it is a Great ROM. THANKS MARK...!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
Ram management, the price to pay to have a full gaming ics rom.

Once again very good work Mark, you are at the top again and again, very good compromise betwen performance and look.

Only one regret aokp systemui: centered clock, notification bar transparency, and the toogle ( V4 are a little small to me, my opinion...)

Good choice to optimised next one for Lupus, I always run previous build with lupus and it run flawless so it must be much better :good:

Keep on you rock.

i've flashed lupus kernel !!

but now , it can't detect my SD card :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] fliperpl:
lets see..

1. Ui lagging as hell

2. SD card is slow and getting crash on titaniumbackups

3. Wifi on/off slow

4. Game performance not bad

5. 400mb partitition? Cmon,10 apps with 4 games and no space q_q

For me this rom is only good looking,you need to work on that UI>
[Xperia Play Android Development] deepa2119:
Hai.

1)if u want more speedy ui u can switch to any lite vesion of launcher.

2)if u want more partition go for lupus kernel gb/ics

3)I think WiFi and sdcard problen May disappear by changing kernel.

4)titanium backup crash.just delete data and reinstall the app

5)these r not recommend and just my suggession:p
