[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Ace Xperia Play​

Hello Guys! :), after scavenging the whole of the Xperia Play Forums I present to u the best Xperia play Setup in my opinion (and some others...)

First off i Wanna Give some Quick Thanx to:

ozzmanj1 - He Convinced me Heavily about the Stock Rom + A Working Odex Script!

TLRTheory - He convinced ozzmanj1 who convinced me, :D

Wedgess - A real developer!

DoomLord - Where would we be without him? :)

juwe11 - The Great Ramscript

LENAROX - The Unique and Amazing Pro-Tunned ADJ

Ryuinferno - Uni Init.d

Zepplinrox - Sclean

Bakisha - Telling me about Odexing!

CosmicDan - Dalvik Dexopt Flags

NOTE! You Must do these in order for the Best Stuffs, Also Please Read Everything

So Lets start shall we?

Oh wait no, Get some Coffee or another Beverage and get ur xP and Hook it up to ur PC, :)

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

1. Backing Up!

First of were going to need some backups incase Anything goes wrong, So Go Ahead and:

-Reboot into CWM Recovary > Make a CWM Backup

-Reboot back into ROM > Download Titanium Backup and Run a Backup of All User Apps

-Power off you Device > Put it to Charge > (While waiting for Charge) Pull out the SD-Card and Manually mount into PC (Otherwise just do it normally with Android on, NOTE! it will take much longer) Now Cut Everything into a Secure location onto your PC

2. Preping

Just some things u need to be able to go to the next step:

-A Fully Charged Battery

-An Empty SD-Card

-Some more Coffee

now to continue we need to wipe all old things:

-Reboot into CWM > Wipe:

--System

--Data

--Cache

--Dalvik Cache

--SD-Card

--Battery Stats

now power off the device and keep it hooked up to power

Download the Following:

Xperia Play 52 Enhanced v3 Firmware

Flashtool

Lupus GB v12 LagFixed Edition

Now install Flashtool and copy the Xperia Play 52 Enhanced v3 Firmware to the flashtool firmwares folder

3. Flashing

Time fore the main moment, :D

-Run Flashtool (NOTE! if u have 64-bit, run the 64bit, also sometimes u have to like 6 times click it to open...)

-Disconnect your Device

-Connect the device in Flashmode (Will promt how to)

-Let it do its work (NOTE! If it asks to install drivers, go to the flashtool subfolder names drivers, run the .exe and select the list with xperia play in and select flashmode, then reboot)

-Now disconnect the device AND DONT BOOT UP

-flash Lupus GB v12 LagFixed Edition

-Now Gracefully boot up the device knowing you have the cleanest xp in existent, :D

4.Restoring

Now u can copy ur SD Card back, Advice : enable msc for faster transfer

U can also restore all apps via Titanium Backup, just download the app and restore

5. Root

When rebooting allow lupus gb to root

then go to playstore and install superuser and update the su binary

6. Fine-Tunning

This is the good stuff, :D

so we need to get performance and battery TOP NOTCH!

First off i recommend fine tunning the Android native settings, so adjust ur ringtones and etc... anothing thing is Leave animations on, :)

Then delete all apps u can from data/app, eg hotshots, fb and the rest of the sony junk

Now off to tweaking!, download:

Uni-Init.d

AutoMagical Debloater

Key for AutoMagical Debloater:

JzzTXhl0MJlkga6fbLy5OXI2-FwXAXI_ZMU3MkRxE9I

Now download:

Root Browser

So first off reboot into recovary, and flash the Uni-Init.d zip

Now Flash Debloater.zip then Reboot x2

Open Root Browser and navigate to /system/app and here i cant help much, this is ur brain and eyes, manually compare whats in the zip i provided and the /app folder and remove stuff so ur devices apps are equal, now u may get some FC's but its nothing to dangerous to worry about, ;)

Reboot now!

Some more debloating:

Navigate to system/etc, press search and type *.apk u should find some apk files, of their Verizon/Sony related, delete them!

Their is also another thing we can do called Odexing, be aware that doing this will result in you not being able to mod any framework files

Download the Odex Zip First, Flash it in CWM then Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and reboot x2 Then:

- open terminal emulator (will be installed automaticaly)

- type su to obtain root permission

- type dexo -h to show possible commands for your phone

- type dexo -one of the option that you have decided

I & Ozzmanj1 recommend Odexing Everything - all

7. Tweaking

Suprisingly enough, All tweaks existent on android SUCK, :P (Joking) basically what im saying is we only need 3 tweaks

first off open root browser, go to /system and open build.prop, now allow editing:

Input the following for everyday use and generally amazing performance in eveything

# Pro-Tuned ADJ 1.2 by LENAROX.
ro.FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ=0
ro.VISIBLE_APP_ADJ=4
ro.PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ=3
ro.HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_ADJ=2
ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ=1
ro.BACKUP_APP_ADJ=5
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=6
ro.HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ=7
ro.EMPTY_APP_ADJ=15
#ultimate assassin mode.
#ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ=15
#ro.HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ=3

or if ur extreme and want amazing games and pretty much no multitasking then this:

# Pro-Tuned ADJ 1.2 by LENAROX.
ro.FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ=0
ro.VISIBLE_APP_ADJ=4
ro.PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ=3
ro.HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_ADJ=2
ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ=15
ro.BACKUP_APP_ADJ=5
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=6
ro.HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ=3
ro.EMPTY_APP_ADJ=15
#ultimate assassin mode enabled.

save and exit, now reboot or cary on to next tweak and then reboot after that

Next up were going to optimize dalvik verification and optimization, to do this were going to navigate to /system/build.prop and open it and start editing, look for something like this:

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y

after lots of reasearch i came across a thread where CosmicDan Explained how dalvik vm worked with this and etc, and acording to him setting the dalvik vm to this parameter will increase performance all over the board

So replace with this:

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n

Done, now reboot 2 times, then continue on to the next tweak!

Now Init.d Tweaks, We only need 1, So open up root browser and navigate to /system/etc/init.d (this is long text, so i recommend save as file then in android cp and paste, if ur going to do this paste it into notepad++ and then save as .sh and then rename and remove .sh extension, we save as .sh to get the linux formatting so no bootloops or inactive scripts r their...) and make a new file called "97ramscript", Within the script input the following:

#!/system/bin/sh
# Copyright© 2011 Juwe11

if [ -e /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree ]; then
echo "2560,4096,6144,12288,14336,18432" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/swappiness ]; then
echo "20" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure ]; then
echo "70" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs ]; then
echo "3000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs ]; then
echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio ]; then
echo "15" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_backgroud_ratio ]; then
echo "3" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_backgroud_ratio
fi

then save,now long press and set permissions to all of them (basically tick all 9 boxs)

now reboot

8. Keepin it Clean

Now we have everything done and our xPlay is Top notch but we need to keep it top notch!

so download:

Clean Master , And clean caches and empty folders regulary, HOWEVER please dont use TASK KILLERS, their terrible and ruin performance!!!

next up, install Busybox, Download this:

Super Cleany and open root browser and copy Super Cleany to /system/xbin, then set permissions to all (basically tick all 9 boxs), then Open Busybox and install it using the smart install, just use all defualt settings, once installed uninstall the app

Now download Terminal Emulator and type "su -c sclean" but only do this every like 2-3 weeks or when u feel ur device is extremely laggy, what it does? this cleans the device thoroughly and then reboots!

next thing is to disable startup programs, Download ES Task Manager and run the startup apps, click optimize then u can disable the following manually:

Google Play Store

Messaging

u can also disable anything u know of, eg titanium backup!

thats it, everything else leave it, Word for the wise: Dont disable anything u dont know, ;)

Also just a general tip, dont install useless apps, eg Facebook as u can use it thru the browser!

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

That's it! I hope u liked it!

Also please gimme a tnx I spent ages typing this, ;)
