I folowed Mike's guide from

[GUIDE][DEV] How I build my own CM10.1 test builds and it should work without problem (that is, if you setup ubuntu already)

You don't have to build rom, you can build only kernel (skip "brunch zeus" command from guide) and use :

. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast zeus
make -j4 bootimage

If you edit some file and you get some errors try with "make clean" command and repeat step above.

As for me, i gaved up trying to find touchscreen problem. I don't understand kernel commands to make any changes. Sure, i learned how to copy/paste, compile and test, but it's above my knowledge WHAT to change in kernel.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
i hate you "not in a bad way" but i am crying.. and saying that to u.. OMG !!! the make clean command took away my 15GB or so of download source :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: . ..

i mention you all here.. so that you can please come back and help fix this. sorry if anyone didnt want to be called for like this.

Observation 1 hi.. just some observations i found.. as per mike.. we have the doomlord fix.. but i cannot find these changes https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-...mmit/58641e92649d6a0c42220af5e7591be5c193152d

in this file https://github.com/LegacyXperia/msm....2/drivers/input/touchscreen/cy8ctma300_spi.c

Please check and confirm.

Observation 2 can you please include these files from DoomLord when compiling.. i dont know if Mike has the same..

Guys.. I wud be out of town for 2 weeks.. and my annoying pointless useless posts with repetitive research wont be bugging you all no more :( .. I wish you all best of luck and I hope by the time I return we have the touchscreen up and running for play.. I just saw the other xperia line running 4.4 KK ,, and I felt a bit sad :( (I wont be having internet all these days) Good bye. TC
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
i checked doomlord ics fix

as i saw its for xperia arc and toher xperia 2011 divices not zeus board

but the lines were interesting :D

they are about the two lines that were added to that samsung device and we don't have them in our touchscreen driver

so bad that asking for ETA is against the rules :(
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
[MENTION=4233768]nickholtus[/MENTION] for any help feel free to contact me, although I don't have much experience on zeus board.

[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
THATS our one million dollar question! why cant it boot on a r800x? i would like if some of you developers of the kernel have a say on this but you guys dont have any cdma models:confused:

we will just have to wait and see as development progresses and maybe the bug will iron out itself, i believe in you devs!:good:
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Did you wipe system and data after flashing kernel?

This kernel (with charging fixed) comes with 450MB system and 470MB data partition, and without wipes it will not work (just as any other kernel that have different partition layout compared to previous kernel you have installed)
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
So flash a stock ftf then the kernel and then rom and it should boot?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
I don't have problem, xdark have :)

I couldn't enter recovery with charging-fixed kernel, but found easy workaround: flash boot.img from rom, erase userdata and system from fastboot, flash rom, powered off, flashed charging-fixed kernel and booted into rom nicely
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
your a X user?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
No. R800i
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
i need the reassurance of a fellow X user:(
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
The older version didn't boot on out r800x nothing but black screen no recovery installed
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
thats the issue im having now with bit the kernels thought,i formatted everything, flashed the lupus kernel, installed cm11, flashed the charged fix kernel and hit the power button and the phone vibrates and sticks on a black screen forever. No recovery prompt. nothing

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

btw i lost the charger fix post cant find it with search, can someone point me to the page again?

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

and all those methods dont work, flashing back to stock didnt work. now im restoring back to miui v5 -__- i wont try anything until another X user can confirm it working.
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
If these installation steps don't work for you, I cannot help any more:

-download update.zip & place it in sd

-download kernel with fixed charger

-fastboot flash boot boot.img

-fastboot erase system

-fastboot erase userdata

-power on phone

-press R button to enter recovery

-flash update.zip

-wipe cache partition
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
by update you mean the rom?
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
Yes, my cm11 build
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
ok im going back through the pages to find the charger fixed kernel and download it fresh.
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
That's where are you doing it wrong. Lupus kernel and charging-fixed kernel have different partitions and that's why it won't boot. Instead of lupus use either charging-fixed or boot.img from zip file to flash rom

This is general "I CAN HAZ KITKAT?" discussion thread, kernel is posted in dev section:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52595813&postcount=105

And rom (for the sake of linking):

[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
oh no wonder i couldn't find it lol thanks

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

followed down to a T but unfortunately nothing changed, the phone acts as if its bricked when i flash this kernel. after i press power it sits forever on a black screen even after spamming the R, vol up and any other button. i guess for now it really is compatible with R800x until further notice :(:(

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

is there a way i can logcat this phone even if its not booted into the os?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
As i said in previous posts, i also couldn't enter recovery with charging-fixed kernel. I din't had time to see why is it so, so i found quicker workaround. Kernel (boot.img) from rom (cm-11-20140505-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-zeus.zip) have working recovery. Try with that kernel to enter recovery. if you manage to to do it, flash rom, then after that flash charging fixed kernel (those two kernels have same partitions so they can be safely flashed without any wipes)
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
can you link me there please?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
meh
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
oh you mean the boot img inside our xperia play cm11 rom?

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

yea same blackscreen, i wish i could logcat it
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
I want to repeat my method here.. Just incase for someone else.. maybe you could try it too..

1. I flash .79 Stock FTF from Flashtool. (Once Complete,Pull OUt Battery and go to Fastboot method to flash kernel)

2. Flash boot.img which is inside the cm11.zip ROM file.. Zip file here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52510009&postcount=95

*I personally flashed nAa's Kernel which is same as above. which is here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51683669&postcount=65

3. Enter Recovery by R Button. Wipe Factory Reset. Wipe Cache. Wipe Dalvik

4. Install ROM from zip. Flash CM11.zip Once INstallation is complete. GO to Advanced. Turn off Mobile or Pull out Battery.

5. Flash charger-test1.img (Kernel) from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52595813&postcount=105

6. Smile that cm11 Loaded. Try ROM. Try if charging works. Try if Phone calls can be made and heard through Phone Ear Speaker and Microphone. If they don't work, try Breaking your Phone. Kill your neighbor. Go to Sleep.

Hopefully will work for you.
[Xperia Play General] krchi:
try using turbo kernel 3.1 to flash the rom. never failed me before
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
tried that 10 times, both 3.1 and 3.1.1

im sitting on miui v5 until a breakthrough occurs

the thing is theres no chance to boot into recovery, no prompt if i flash the cm11 before or after the phone fails to boot
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
I'm currently moving house/packing/busy at work so I'm out of action on XDA for a while, but I definitely intend to come back and help at some point - however that may be/if I prove useful.

But yeah, I agree with the fact that you're likely the only 'qualified' person working on this at the moment.

Although, if we get really stuck I think nAa said he could help on some bits...
[Xperia Play General] Alvin Satrio Wibowo:
dev [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] thank you for you, because you have made ​​CM11 and kernel 3.4 for xperia play, request from me is to make a recovery in the kernel and use the vol- key to enter the recovery..., so that xperia neo l users like me can also enter the recovery

and the most important is that there is primarily fix a wifi bug, I can not try it until now because the wifi :laugh: hahahah

and after all that, the last one you can increase the ram on the kernel, I see that now only 344, maybe you could add up to 379 or even 390... :good:

good work dev, keep it up!! :good: we will always support you, as CM11 and this kernel is to be used as a base to create or port rom for xperia play and neo l.. ;)
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
~Off topic~

what i can use is a r800i motherboard, im planning to rebuild my phone from scratch. my phone is been thought a lot. falls, has a cracked digitizer backplate is faded and battery cover is damaged. i want to build it again with a new white or custom housing and a i motherboard so i can finally call on it.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
wouldn't that be a very expensive method.. you rather buy a new r800i for that price. in my country it should be about 100 Dollars I think.. if you want I can check for you.

or maybe even a used one you can get ?? what say. and building it , the hassle of doing that.. plus whats the guarantee it will work like normal.

you can always have your r800x as spare parts.
[Xperia Play General] krchi:
why not get the other 2011 xperia ranges instead of xperia play then? i mean mogami boards has more progress and even Xperia Overlay
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Because I like the xperia play I just want to mess around with it easyer and make phone calls with tmobile
[Xperia Play General] Niko of Death:
Is the CDMA version of the ROM available anywhere? I'd be willing to test it out if so.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Fat chance -__-

R800z

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Best chance you have its applying a cdma patch that was ment for cm10

R800z
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
CDMA will likely never be supported, since no developer has a CDMA version and can actually use it. It requires verizon and most zeus developers are not in USA.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
unless im misunderstanding CDMA all it requires to fix it is the apn settings and the radio module?
[Xperia Play General] genetic608:
I am curious as well what the differences are. Perhaps one of the old CDMA devs can help. [MENTION=4311888]cj360[/MENTION] comes to mind
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
As soon as I can get another cdma xperia play I can attempt to help with a cdma build of everything but I have to wait until either the xperia play is free from Verizon or at income tax time when I can get another one until then I cannot do to much but sit onbthe sidelines and wait I'm sorry guys

[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
i cant wait to try kitkat! it feels like im waiting for a new phone to come out! this will definitely be the rebirth of the xperia play!
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
The best thing you can do now is to download Kitkat launcher, and Android 4.4 theme for Themechoser which gives a nice feel of Kitkat.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
I don't want the look I want the experience :) the art, the memory enhancements, the liquid butter feel.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
I know Wi-Fi is down but I wishi could at least try the kernel/Rom.

But unfortunately I'm the only one in these forms left with a R800x phone or others have locked boot loaders still.

And if I'm not mistaken I think collage and high school are doing exams soon so our devs might be down for some time
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Mike is college student?
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
i dont know.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
also it is confirmed that the kernel is currently incompatible with CDMA phones for now.

gaming on cm11

Hi all..just wanted to know if anyone has tried gaming on cm11 yet?.. heavy games like asphalt 8 mc4 wild blood etc.. And hows the performance compared to other android versions?
[Xperia Play General] KiraYahiroz:
I think they're trying to get everything stable and working first before optimizing it for performance.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
this forum is getting dead by the day.. no new posts in threads in either General or Android Development. :(

specially in 3.4 Kernel.. im loosing hope :(
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
The worst thing of them all is that I'll be actually coming back to my xperia play really soon. I'm waiting for microSIM to SIM adapter and then sending my other phone for repairs. :/
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
I don't know if I am right but Xperia Overlay team is helping Mike for the development of 3.4 kernel, and as far as they wrote on the Xperia Overlay Facebook page(https://www.facebook.com/xperiaoverlay/posts/720189268040788), I think they just need a fix for the camera app only. I made a comment asking whether the other things like Wifi, Bluetooth etc. are working or not, but they haven't replied yet.

Hopefully, I think we are close to CM11 if what they wrote is right. [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] can you confirm the update?
[Xperia Play General] 4n00p:
Well their site shut down so I think that getting a free download will be out of the question now
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
Nothing is updated, I don't have a single fix from other developers yet.

I was very busy with mogami devices again, since after some recent commits many things were broken, so I had to spend the past few weeks debugging.

I really hope to fix wifi sometime so I can release another test build for both zeus & phoenix
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
What about releasing the kernel at its current state so that other developers can work in parallel to get 3.4 thing quickly.
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
He's already released a boot.img of his kernel, and all the sources are on github.

Problem is that there are no other developers working on this besides mike, as far as I know.

[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
he fixed the touch screen issue but hes busy (because of his own life) so he cant fix other problems :)

i wasnt here for too much time and nothing new came out so it means that xperia play is dead now :)

im waiting for delivery of my m8 and going to leave this **** phone finally (but it takes a week or so)

my xperia play is 50% bricked now. signal isnt working back cover is 100% damaged. phone restarts all the time and i cant even play games like angry birds
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
one day all of you will leave all these smartphones including the Xperia PLay and return to those legendry phones from Ericsson and Nokia.. :p ..

till we don't.. Xperia play community is known for bouncing back every time it goes low.. so lets hope for the Best. !! :)

im hopeful.. till that time. I am switching between ICS or GB !
[Xperia Play General] HUEguy:
This means two of us, I come here.. I don't know, 20 times in a single day to see how the 3.4 kernel development is going. LOL

I still have hope to see kitkat fully working on this beloved phone, as we still don't have, dany+ ICS is suiting me just fine with free ram and good performance
[Xperia Play General] eddynoob:
Hahaha count me in too ..i too need kk badly...i saw it's performance on HTC explorer.. made asphalt 8 runs so smoothly..so i really think its going to make our plays flyy!!:laugh::good:

im still a bit jealous/ mad at everyday i check the internet i see "bla bla" phone has now received kitkat "this" phone receives kitkat "That" phone gets kitkat! and so on lol
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Well I should be getting a flex cable soon and I will be up and running......I am no Dev but I will learn and try to bring and debug mikes kernel to the r800x (psssst xdarkmario my galaxy s3 got official KitKat yesterday lol jk jk)
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
LOL
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
Can I ask a question? Lol go ahead and laugh now but Why are we trying for a 3.4 kernel when most jelly bean devices run 3.0 kernel is the 3.4 kernel required for cm 11 run or are we still trying to get 10.1 and 10.2 run why didn't really try to build a 3.0 kernel I'm just curious
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Because Mike is working on 3.4 kernel for other Xperia 2011 devices too, not just for Play. He don't have much time to fix even 3.4 kernel, making 3.0 kernel will be working from zero.

I don't say it can't or it shouldn't be done, but with lack of dedicated developers for xPlay it's pritty much clear that there is possibility that Play won't even see stable cm11 release...
[Xperia Play General] Reiven89:
Well then our last hopes are on him since Sony dropped support for Xperia Play from the ancient Gingerbread version
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
BTW the 3.4 kernel is backwards compatible isn't it?
[Xperia Play General] krchi:
Um its suppose to be but it was tested with ics, cm10 and it didnt work only cm10.1+
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
ain't cm10 JB?
[Xperia Play General] TheScriptKitty:
A 3.4.X Kernel is "backwards compatible" in the sense that it can work with older Versions of Android(like GB and ICS). This does not mean that it will magically work for GB and ICS ROMs that were created to work with 2.6.32.9 Kernels.
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Oh didn't know it can go as far as GB. Usually backwards compatibility goes back once like to JB and MAYBE ics

R800Q
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
Even if it's backwards compatible, why would you even bother with it?

We don't even have a working kitkat build, why spend a ridiculus amount of time needed to make the kernel work on older versions?
[Xperia Play General] TheScriptKitty:
I agree with you 100%, trying to make the kernel backwards compatible at this point would be a waste of time.

People where asking questions so I gave them answers.

PS

Thanx for working on getting Kitkat on the Xperia Play, I really appreciate it ;)
[Xperia Play General] sir mordred:
Sorry but arent you already using 3.4 kernel??

Because as far as i can see you are using CAF kk2.7 branch kernel as kernel base and this kernel variant is 3.4 not 3.0

Correct me if im wrong

Thanx

Regards
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
Yes, we already use 3.4. I was trying to say that without a functional kitkat build, it's not worth spending time to make the kernel work on older versions, as it's designed for kitkat.

I'm working on zeus today, hope to make some more progress. Thanks to Blefish, front buttons seem to be fully working now, but this will need more extensive testing. I will release some new test builds soon that will contain the latest changes.
[Xperia Play General] robinei:
Not here to ask for ETA or anything like that. Just wanted to say that the work you do is appreciated!
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
I also agree you devs don't worry about backwords compatible I just want to see it working for now :)

R800Q
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Do we have a current list of things that are not working that are either priority, or simply known issues?
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
Currently not working:

Wifi

BT

Camera

Wifi & BT *should* be easy to implement, if we have the time to find what exactly is needed.

I'm not sure about camera, but I think it's a kernel related issue.
[Xperia Play General] 4n00p:
did u guys get the landscape problem fixed?
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
What landscape issue? Rotation works fine on my play, if you're talking about Neo L, then you should know that zeus builds are not compatible with phoenix, since it doesn't have a slide-out keypad. I will probably release 2 builds, one for zeus & one for phoenix so everyone can test
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
