I will cleanup my sources and probably spin a cm11 test build so others (like you) can test kernel changes.

Mind that the new kernel is totally re-ported from scratch and is not based on nAa kernel.

BTW camera is not working for me, another bug that needs to be fixed
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Good spot - I'll check my sources to see If the changes have already been made from what I got from nAa earlier last month, if not I'll put 'em in and see how it goes.

Oh right, so you've started from scratch completely? And just used the bits from nAa's sources to fix the Touch screen? If that's the case, I would be really interested to see how each performs/the differences between the two...

I guess it's unlikely you came across the issue I'm currently having then, which is in regards to a section mismatch when building the kernel... ><
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
[MENTION=4347494]Spizzy01[/MENTION]

did you manage to compile nAa's kernel? I tried, but i'm having some errors. Most probably toolchain related. Witch toolchain you use?
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
I didn't, no. Lol. I sort of gave up for the day as I'm out at the mo'.

Most errors occur due to toolchain issues though. I used 4.7, but I think I originally compiled it using dooms 4.3 toolchain, but for some reason that wouldn't work at all for me.

I can give you what I used once I get back if you like...?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
No need, sooner or later i'll find out which toolchain can be used. I just wanted to check is charging is fixed in latest nAa's source

EDIT:

Successfully compiled nAa's kernel with linaro 4.6.2

But charging don't work. Nor in rom and nor while offline charging
[Xperia Play General] Frutak:
Thats a pity:/ :D
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
we just need 2 major things to work before atleast I can start using it as my daily driver.. Wifi and Charging.. Hopefully it will soon.. the new Build by Mike didn't solve this issue.. but i hope someone can help him fix it.
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
But that build has physical buttons fixed, so there's some progress and I just hope to see the ROM soon
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
all i want is to run kitkat on my xperia play before leaving this section

because i will sell my phone if i dont see love of kitkat

my phone is not more than 25$ now but atleast i can but a screen protector with price of the phone for my next phone(most of things are damaged but phone is still working :eek: . my felx cable is damaged. my screen is damaged. keys are damaged. back cover has 10 cracks because of my drops and ... )

but if i see love of kitkat i will keep the phone and i will start porting and theming kit kat roms for this lovely phone
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
I second u pedyvirus.. but am sure Mike is working level best on this.. I want to see MIUI v6 on KitKat.. with New Kernel.. running superfast.. and touchpads and Dpads working fully.. and KitKat running faster than GingerBread. or as good as GB
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
well i think we dont see working touchpads anytime on 3.4 kernel or it will work like jb maybe
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
:D

Charging fixed :D
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
gr8.. now only if Wifi could work.. am gonna use it as a daily driver.. how was it.. which ROM did you test on.. cm11 or cm10.1 or 10.2 ??

how smooth was it.. ? better than gb and lighter or heavier.. tell us more.

Edit : [MENTION=4698029]Mike[/MENTION] I think its the right time now to create a new thread.. and improve on this kernel in that thread.. With Working/Not Workings all in one.. also if the cm11 ROM would also be available with it.. that would be amazing..

the community is eager to test anything now.. and I think nAa .. and you are going to be Legends of this device... once you complete this project.

I apologize not to offend anyone.. but the first 3 names that come to mind when speaking of Kernels is DoomLord , Wedgess (Lupus) and CosmicDan (Turbo) .. would now add to the list ( nAa and Mike )
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
mike has already released a working cm11 for testing purposes (see here ), so you should give it a shoot (I tested it and it's smoother than cm10, even with cpu at stock settings - I was not able to overclock). From what've seen WiFi, Bluetooth and recovery are the main issues with this kernel and I'm sure mike will fix'em, just give him some time as he's working for a lot of devices.

Even if they don't get solved, I'll be grateful to mikeioannina and nAa for what they've done, since they supported this device knowing that its comunity was mostly dead.
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Agree with that. You forgot to mention Rotation, the default of is landscape mode and needs to be fixed too. Talking of performance, its quite faster than CM10 and I am sure a lot of ROM devs will find interesting to make Kitkat ROMS. I switched Unofficial CM10 now, but as far as I remember, list of things which weren't working with the Charger Fixed kernel.

Not Working : Torch(was working finely with the previous version of kernel), Camera, Wifi, Bluetooth, Audio in Music App(but I was able to hear the ringtones and notifications tones in Settings), Call volume(don't what's the problem with it, I called on CM11 and it was stuck on "Dialing", maybe it's problem with the network)

Anyway, I know there's a lot to be fixed now. But above all, work by devs here is significant. Thanks devs.
[Xperia Play General] krchi:
well landscape isnt a huge problem consider a rotation app from google play will fix it
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
I wanted to use as daily driver with the Charging fixed.. but Add to your list one more Problem.. When someone calls me,or I call someone, they cannot hear me. The Mic doesn't work. and the Earphone Speaker.. (Not Speaker Phone) , I forgot whats exactly is called ..doesn't work.. Phone has to be put in speaker mode to listen to somebody.. but my voice doesn't go.. so I had to quit using it.

I am on Xperia Play.. I think we don't have the Default Landscape Mode problem.. it worked normal for me..

Edit 1. Some time .. actually most of the times.. all my Buttons were working.. but sometime not too..
[Xperia Play General] Frutak:
I try calling with headspone and its work:D
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
Unfortunately I cannot help test this kernel or any thing else as my flex cable died two nights ago so i cannot bring cm10.1 10.2 or cm11 over to the cdma xperia range unless Verizon has another xperia play for free on their website next month for my upgrade otherwise it'll be off to another phone I was really hoping to see what kitkat looked like on my play :banghead::(:mad: but thanks for all the work your putting in on this kernel and the bringing everything to our play
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Have you noticed lag in charging, and fast battery draining problem? Because when I charged the phone I noticed above issues.

I think that the priority problems currently are:

Stability in battery related functions, charging etc.

Phone Call fix

Wifi

Camera

And I am very happy to say that dev [MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] is going to push a KK ROM once we get stable kernel

Thanks devs and the community.
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
If you opened camera or torch, battery will die within hours, because the camera sensor is stuck open.

I can't really fix anything else in charger with my broken device.

Phone calls & microphone should work fine with the current sources

Wifi is WIP at the moment, I'm trying to find all the needed parts from the stock kernel, plus using the newest available kernel driver for kitkat compatibility
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Yup, I opened both Camera and Torch for testing and maybe that's why the battery was draining too fast. So, I think the problem is Camera related and not something with battery or charging functions.

Thanks for working on this. Also, please let me know if you need any help in testing, would be happy to help.
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
Can I get mixer_paths.xml from CM11? I'll try fixing the sound issues. :)

You can find it in /system/etc

[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
msm7x30 doesn't use mixer_paths

As I said, audio should be working fine with the latest source changes
[Xperia Play General] smokerman:
i cant help nothing now cause my xperia play still not arrived..if you at least fix the sound i think i can improve after the quality, i have tested a few things on arcs before i sell it and it seems to work..but as development is so advanced at this point for arcs no need for me..and i was bored with that phone..now i only have galaxy S2 and xperia play.(still dead but soon alive i hope).:D

i may build carbon rom KK for xperia play once we have kernel working at least..but we all should thanks mike.
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
Where's it then? Or any alternative file that contains all the info mixer_paths did? Please answer to this question. Hopefully you'll help me with my really big project if you reply me. :)

Thank you for all your work.
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Am I only the one who visit the forum every 5 minutes just to check updates on 3.4 kernel and CM11?

I am pretty much excited about CM11.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
no bro.. I am also addicted to this.. I think im XPlay Forum-o-phobic.. its a condition.. I think only when my xplay breaks down.. I will b cured.
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
No sorry. Lol my play 100% dead. I still follow this forum its my stomping ground this device is what got me into android modding
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Hahaha this phone also got me into deving but the flex died a couple months ago and I've been really busy with college enrollment to get around to fixing it.....but mark my words one day I will fix it!!!
[Xperia Play General] yekasangredevago:
never give up ..

I already took more than 2 years with this wonderful smartphone .. which:

1) at 2 months of buying it I broke my touch (Fixed)

2) the battery did not last long (you buy 2 batteries 3600 mah)

3) I broke the headphones and charger (I got the two original discounts)

4) the housing is way too hurt me, so I wrap with carbon fiber vinyl. ;)

5), and recently 1 month ago, will I damage the flex (also fixed)

and now this is the state in which I have:

and now I'm thinking of buying a Micro SD 64 gb - and also a 1500 mah battery Original .. (because 3600 mah) I use only on occasion only for its size. : P
[Xperia Play General] KiraYahiroz:
I'm checking this every now and then as well, I still love my Play, but it was handed down to my brother when I got a new phone and he refuses to get any other phone due to the gamepad. I want my Play back :(.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
frutak are you like really sure about this.. you tested and tried it..

whenever I was calling.. I was not getting no voice from headspeaker.. only speaker phone.. and my voice not going from Mic !! which method you installed the ROM.

I first Installed nAa kernel.. 3.4.82 by that nAa gave when touch worked.. and then Installed ROM and then Flashed charger-test1.img
[Xperia Play General] Frutak:
Nope i instaled a mike kernel flash rom cm11 flash charger kernel. I calling with headphones my headphones have a mic. This is only way how to calling:D sorry for my bad english:D

Edit:

hmmm you can try flash kernel includ in cm11 archive :D

But I dont know if is included:)

If yes flash kernel from cm11 flash cm11 and after flash charger kernel else I dont know:D
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
oh.. headphones.. I also have that.. I thought you are saying.. the the Phone Ear Piece.. ok no problem will try with my headphones also. but cant carry headphones all the time.. will wait for fixed kernel :|
[Xperia Play General] chifrinillo@gmail.com:
Hello, this is my first post!

I'm so excited about the 3.4 Kernel developement for Xperia Play.

ICS has always had lag in XP, however JB I improve the speed much.

What will make the new kernel?

Better performance than GB?

thank you very much
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
I found the performance of CM11 with 3.4 kernel a bit faster than JB kernels, but logically speaking, its ROM dependent too.

And welcome to XDA comm., enjoy!
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Do we have any R800x Testers on this forums who are willing to test this kernel and prove my thesis?
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
y is the discussion thread so quiet.. I check every other hour for replies.. post.. hehe Stay Alive Ppl.. Stay Calm and Keep Posting :)
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
I already replaced the flex cable and the Digitizer has arrived to me. Now when I'll get more time I'll revive my xperia play completely and will use it for some time. I'll do my best to bring my volume mod to the xperia play. I've got no idea how I'll do this YET, but I will. I owe big time to people in this device section. :)

Plz give me something new to test over the weekend.. in my country Friday Saturday is holiday and thursday working hours is over.. anything that could make cm11 daily driver.. if phone calls work atleast..
[Xperia Play General] korrectmethod:
We are all waiting anxiously. Unfortunately, development takes time.
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
I am also too excited about this, hopefully we'll have working Wifi and Camera and that's all we need :D
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Also when is the cm 11 rom hitting the development forums so we can track its progress, i understand development of the kernel is more important but still.
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Its already there in the Dev forum, OP is Mike
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
The Rom is posted on page 10 of develpmnt thread if am nt wrong. Cm 11

sorry if too much enthusiasm, but ...

have been run GTA San Andreas, completely fluent in Xperia Neo V (the same hardware as the Xplay) (with Kitkat)??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsmgPmEpCAQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PocHh-CcGig

hopefully we arrive to that in our Xperia Play, not just San Andreas , you can enjoy titles like:

Deux Ex - The Fall, Real Racing 3, Dead Trigger 2, Call Of Duty - Strike Team, Horn, The Amazing Spiderman 2, etc. ..

I'm so excited, I hope I have good news soon. :)
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Nice to see 3d hardware acceleration working properly :) you guys are truly amazing
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
Y U do dat now I want it even more lol

Sent from my R800Z
[Xperia Play General] genetic608:
I just had a quick read back through this thread and I can't seem to find what ur "thesis" is.

Mind elaborating?
[Xperia Play General] XDM inc:
oh that this 3.4 kernel is Incompatible with cdma xperia play r800x. and cannot boot on them.
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
The hardware is 100% identical except of the modem, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on the R800x
[Xperia Play General] smashingeeks:
Hey Mike, is there any Bug Tracker we can follow for checking updates?
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
No, at the moment you can check http://github.com/LegacyXperia for any updates

There is no progress by me since I have a lot of other things to maintain:

-Translation lead of CyanogenMod

-Fixing issues on mogami 2011 devices

-Bringing up device trees for official AOKP support on 2011 mogami devices

-Bringing up device trees for official omni support on 2011 mogami devices

-Personal life problems

-Work

etc...

I can see nobody else who has the right knowledge is interested to help, so everybody depends on me to fix everything for the play...
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] Thanks alot for doing this for Play with that heavy schedule.. we truly apprrciate wt ur doing for us from day one :)

What we would request is,and i believe the community would agree with me,if you could give a little priority to xplay kernel and just bring it to a somewhat workable state. The other devices are way ahead than us. What we ask is.. if you could only fix Wifi,Phone calls at the moment.. so that we start using the Kernel.. after that,even if you take a months time to come back here.. no probs.
[Xperia Play General] korrectmethod:
If some of us were to donate a few dollars, would you possibly be able to raise the priority on fixing 3.4 kernel?

I think Xperia overlay is just vapor-ware for our phone, thus you are the only man that can do the job. :)
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
I will try my best but I can't guarantee anything yet, since zeus is much different from mogami devices.

I never asked for money before releasing my work, my sources were always open to the public even before releasing 'official' builds, but donations are always welcome from anyone who wants to do it. It's a motivation to work.

I hope to find some time this week after finishing with AOKP & omni stuff to work on wifi
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
i also tried testing the both Kernels and ROM..ROM installed successfully but touchscreen didn't work. Mobile was not charging as well in the ROM. my baseband was .79 jst for info.

sorry couldn't attach log cats because battery ran out (neither do I know how to)

Edit : I was just going through Mike's thread again.. reading through it .. one post mentioned the touchscreen works for just a bit .. half a second.. after the screen lock (turns on) .. maybe someone could revisit it again and make a breakthrough.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47182580&postcount=319

Edit2 : tried doing the unlock/lock quite a few times and yes.. touch is detected every 5th time I thinkso.. I don't know how to logcat.. maybe that could be of help. managed to slide down the notification bar as well twice

Edit3 : Already installed and uninstalled Ubuntu on Virtual Machine.. now going to do the same Dual boot with Windows 8.. if anyone requires.. here is the perfect guide to Dual boot with getting a pretty screen to choosing which OS to boot.

http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html

http://ultimatepeter.com/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu-12-10-on-uefi-hardware/

after I am done with this, I will start learning/building/experimenting with all sorts of combinations and possibilities.. and maybe I might get lucky with something.. if something happens to my beloved Windows 8 or my VGA card in Ubuntu (fan goes crazy in it) .. plz remember .. I did this all for the community :)

Edit4: went through a couple of guides to building kernels. Installed Ubuntu successfully. my journey n begins. I knw all of you keep checking this thread to see for updates. but nothing is here.. and you don't write anything so as not to spam the thread. lolz.. I understand the feeling. I have done the same.

Edit5 : just a little important something I found somewhere.

actually the kernel 3.4 requires toolchain version 4.7 for correct compilation. Download the ndk from here developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html and then point to newly downloaded toolchain with command: CROSS_COMPILE=(your_download_location)/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- And its done.
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
The play of doomlord is on its way to me, so after i have got it (a few days left:)) i will be able to test a little bit more.

I think i found something interesting in dmesg.
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
found something intresting

hi all again

[MENTION=4862673]saqibkhan[/MENTION] found an interesting thread that it may solve our problem with 3.4 kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328515

i was reading this thread that i found this

https://github.com/alanorth/samsung-kernel-p6200/commit/9571ea442a39976a79c471d650b625c8b26a0460

as you see our driver is like the unchanged one so i think we should add all these thing to our driver and it solve our problem with 3.4 kernel :D

(sorry for being noob but i dont know how to compile a kernel or even add something like this to our driver but i think its the day to solving touchscreen issue)

[MENTION=4233768]nickholtus[/MENTION]

if you can add this things to touchscreen driver and compile a new zImage im ready for testing now

edit:also please read that thread. it has a lot of interesting information

edit1:im downloading sources and trying to compile it my self but i may face to any issues because its my first time that im going to compile a kernel

edit2: ubuntu installed again(after about 5 months i installed it again)-kernel source is downloaded-doomlord toolchain is still downloading. only 2 minutes left

edit3: everything is ready now. i will try to compile a kernel without any change then i include those changes that i mentioned

I have a Neo L and I am willing to be a tester if you need. I wish good luck for the guys who are working hard to bring 3.4 kernel to Zeus.

Just tried the kernel

Its weird, because touch works sometimes for like 0,5 seconds
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
yes.. this happens.. can we compare when it happens.. as i dont know how to log cat.. i even managed to pull the notification bar down twice in that .5 split second.. it happens just as the unlock option appers.. read my post above if possible.. thanks
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
my knowlage in kernel is very poor but as i know our problem is irq related

maybe you can take a look at what is changed in other xperia 2011 devices touchscreen driver and include something like that in our play touchscreen driver

for example this is one of the lines added in their touchscreen driver but we dont have anything like that

#if defined(CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_CY8CTMA300_SPI) || \
defined(CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_CYTTSP_SPI)
struct msm_gpio ttsp_gpio_cfg_data[] = {
{ GPIO_CFG(42, 0, GPIO_CFG_INPUT, GPIO_CFG_PULL_UP, GPIO_CFG_2MA),
"ttsp_irq" },
};
#endif
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
anyone worked on this.. i am still not able to compile a kernel.. so many things needed.. i cant understand if i need to build a ROM first.. and only then i will be able to compile a kernel.. and what if i edit some file.. and i want to compile a kernel with that edited file.. how to do that ?? Linux sucks.. so does the compiling process. :(
