cy8ctma300.c and cy8ctma300.h are the thing i were talking about

because all the other things seemed to be fine so the problem can be caused by synaptics (well im noob so i cant say even 50% )

i losed all my hopes

i think i can never see 3.4 kernel on any xperia play :(
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
just want to point out again.. why is this NOT related to our problem.. if cy8ctma300.c doesn't work.. then so be it..

why don't we use this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7425303/replacing-touchscreen-driver-in-android-kernel

to use a different driver altogether that is included in the Kernel. that's what I understand after reading the post.. that's what the person did in the link.
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
Have you tried that in the end?

I would like to help test the 3.4 kernel. Is it a problem I have the zeusc?

edit: Tried the kernels from zimage 3 and 4 on legacyxperia 10.1 and it didn't boot at all, no kernel logo or anything

(I suspect due to my CDMAness)
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
Can anyone make a dsmesg? DooMLoRD asks for it and I am not at home right now.

Please make with latest kernel I have posted (zImage)
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
did the phone reach achotjan yet.. ?? any input from his side about the kernel
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
No that would take some time, we have some issues.
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
hi guys , i've been watching the 2011 series since nAa started porting kernel 3.0.8 , and i also saw all the efforts made to bring a new kernel to zeus ...

i DON'T own a zeus device . i own a ( broken ) anzu ( just a car step on it ) .

i 've seen some things in touchscreen drivers , and i have an idea what it could be . i am not a professional in kernels , but i have knowledge in programming and i used to make kernels for a device i used some years ago .

i am now downloading kernel source from nickholtus github , cm10.2 branch . and i hope i will have a test in a few hours , and i'll publish it here for testers ( if any )
[Xperia Play General] Frutak:
NIce ! I trust you ! :)) :good:
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
first of all , i have to say that i don't have an xperia play phone , so this zImage is not tested .

i am not responsible for any damage it may cause to your phone .

it's build using nickholtus cm10.2 github kernel , and i make some changes to fix the touchscreen problem .

i don't know if it is fixed , i don't even know if it boots .

create a boot.img using tha attached zImage , and try it using cm10.2 . reply only to say if it works ( or not ) , and ALWAYS with logs
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
It boots to recovery for sure. I'll report later when i install rom, but i have doubts t will work (attaching dmesg that i got while i'm in recovery still )
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
After installing rom, touchscreen still not working.

I can't test anymore for tonight, but if there is something to test, i'll do it for sure tommorow.

Thank you for your effort [MENTION=2155614]TakisBeskos[/MENTION]
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
thnx for testing , i have some more ideas , but not today ... i must sleep :P

i'll work on this again on saturday , and you will have news from me , in this thread

which rom did you use ? cm10.1 from mikeioannina ?
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Yes, i use mike's rom. But i can guess will it work even without rom (dmesg from recovery)

Btw, i have no knowledge about kernel developing, but i love to test things when i have time.

When or if there it's something to test on device, i'll try to help
[Xperia Play General] Z3PHYR:
Doesn't aroma installer use the touchscreen driver even if recovery does not support touch? We could test it that way...
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
i don't know if aroma installer is the best way to test touchscreen .

i think the best is flashing the kernel and the rom , and take logs , so we can see if it loads correctly the drivers

can someone try this http://www.mediafire.com/download/8kc9e4cxg829x3r/cm10.1.zip rom with the my and nickholtus kernel ?

unfortunatelly, touchscreen still don't work. Attaching logs
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
I just finished backing up my call logs . sms .. programs etc..

(how do you restore ur ROM so quickly.. if you do that is..) as you test soo many ROM's so quickly.

so sad .. that it didn't work.. but hopefully it will very soon thanks to all the devs. I am also going to test now.. lets c.

Updates : Starting Now. Am on MIUI v5 3.12.27 so I thought to Install and check if ROM boots/works. Crazy experimental test. Sorry I cant do logs at the moment.

For Kernel Takis_zimage1.img

1. ROM : MIUI v5 JB 4.1.2

Result : Passed the Legacy Logo.Stuck on Android Logo

2. ROM : Mike's ROM

Result : Touch Not Working (how to stop data from working when ROM boots.my small data plan getting wasted)

3. ROM : Wedgess 4.2.2

Result : Touchscreen Not Working

4. ROM : Takis cm10.1

Result : Touchscreen Not Working

For Kernel Takis_zimage2.img

1. ROM : Takis cm10.1

Result : Touchscreen Not Working (ROM booted quite fast though with this Kernel)

2. ROM : Wedgess 4.2.2

Result : TOuchscreen not working :(
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
reboot to recovery

backup

wipe data and system

flash test kernel

unplug

instal cm10.1

boot

set unlock screen to none

enable dev options

get logs

reboot to recovery

wipe data and system

flash previous kernel

restore cwm backup

total size of cwm recovery backup file is about 2GB. about 10-15minutes when backing or restoring (and while phone is doing that, i can do stuff on PC - including playing games and/or compiling kernel from source)

In short - i don't play games or use phone when i'm near my PC
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
ok guys , thank you all for testing !! today i'll upload (at least ) two more zImage , and if it doesn't work , we have to look somewhere else to find why touchscreen is not working

i won't make a new post , i'll edit this one

[Xperia Play General] rafap:
I've tested zImage on test 3 and 4, but touch is still not working.

Both with LX kernel and mike's cm10.1

Sorry, i can't provide any logs yet. [MENTION=4053663]Bakisha[/MENTION] could you do it?
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
without logs ( especially dmesg ) , i can't do much since i don't have the device
[Xperia Play General] rafap:
I know, but when I tried to get it, it responds with error : device offline.

I'm going to keep trying until 9pm jakarta time, or tomorrow.

EDIT : [MENTION=2155614]TakisBeskos[/MENTION] here's dmesg for test 4.

EDIT2: okay i also got test 3 dmesg.
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
I'll test it tonight, when i have time to make backup.

But something is intrest me. I tried compiling kernel without touchscreen driver by editing nAa_zeus_defconfig ( config_touchscreen_cy8ctma300=y to config_touchscreen_cy8ctma300 is not set) but in dmesg i still see that "invalid data" flood from cy8ctma300 (wich means driver is still included in compiling, probably in board_semc_zeus.c.

So i tried to compare wedgess's and nick's board_semc_zeus.c but there are so many differences for me to understand.

I'm still curious why touchscreen is registered as input5, not input3, like in every other kernel.

And I am starting to beleave that spi protocol is not working in 3.4 kernel and touchscreen driver is just failing because of that..

And don't forget that menu and home buttons are switched, charging doesn't work, wich is kernel, and not rom related...
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
no need to test it , test has been done and dmesg logs have also been taken .

in a few minutes i'll upload a new test using other driver for touchscreen , and if that doesn't work , i'll search the board file for clues :P

i 'll edit this post for the new test zImage

link http://www.mediafire.com/download/uyhdp1j8hecuy7q/test5.zip

edit: the most probable is that touchscreen won't work with test5 , but i want to see the dmesg file ...

i'll work to make the board-zeus.c file compatible to the new touchscreen driver , and then i'll post again
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
test 6 : http://www.mediafire.com/download/5w7u1hzquwq0elt/test6.zip

plz test the uploaded test5 and test6 and reply if they work , and post dmesg logs ... they are built with other touchscreen drivers
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
You are right, touchscreen don't work, but at least i don't see "invalid data" flood in dmesg :p

Attaching dmesg (two of them, one is taken from recovery before flashing rom, second is after installing cm10.1 rom and rebooted one time)

edit: test6 also don't work
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
thank you for testing and posting logs .

the truth is that i was hoping for something better on test6 log , but nothing happened :(

i think that the best way is to use cy8c_ts , and not sony ericsson's cy8ctma300 file

there has to be some work on the board file ... i'll try the next days ... is not an easy thing to do ...

if i got any news or something to test , i'll make a new post here
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Can you do me a favour? Can you make zImage, but with TOUCHSCREEN_CY8CTMA300_SPI instead of TOUCHSCREEN_CY8CTMA300? I tried it once and i got some firmware readout to:

<6>[ 6.316558] CY8CTMA300_TOUCH: invalid data?
<6>[ 6.317016] CY8CTMA300_TOUCH: Device registered OK

but now i changed source files in pc so much it can't compile anymore :)
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
had you made changes on the board file ? if not , some code won't be executed .

i'll change just the config , and i'll upload it ... i am curius to see the log ...

maybe it's easier to make it with cy8ctma300_spi
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
No, i wasn't changing board file (mostly i edit config files, and adding =y in lines that have "debug" word in it :) ) (read: messing with stuff i don't know about :p )

But that 1 change made me curious and i want to see is something i did, or it is just that 1 line.

Ofcorse, i got flood of

<6>[ 203.405975] CY8CTMA300_TOUCH: invalid data?
<6>[ 203.449493] cypress_touchscreen spi0.0: CY8CTMA300_TOUCH: rejected data.

but as i said, i thing firmware was loaded properly.

I'll post dmesg, and this one is just for my curiosity :)
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
this is what you suggested http://www.mediafire.com/download/izah9ko8uvpa24w/cy8ctma_spi.zip

post dmesg log if you can
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
here is dmesg, but i don't see any driver loaded for touchscreen. Nevermind, this is not important, i better stay out of things i don't know :)
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:
like i said earlier , the most code about touchscreen is not be used if we just change the config , so there is no driver loaded
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
My 8 thanks is spent :)

So, thanks for looking into this. Even if you don't succed, we value the effort that you are doing :good:
[Xperia Play General] TakisBeskos:

[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
Hi Developers! It's been a while since I came back to this side of the forums at XDA. Looks like this phone development has not stopped! :D

I left the Xperia Play a long time ago. By far it's one of my favorite phones of all time and I don't want to see development so easily. I still use it for gaming every once in a while. This phone has been my entrance into Sony Android devices and has made me into a Sony fan. (I also have the Xperia Acro S, Ion & now Z1). It just too bad it has such low specs to make me want to upgrade so quickly.

In any case why I am posting here. I would defiantly love to see a new kernel developed for the Play. I want to really help out. I would like to donate a Xperia Play to a developer that can make good use of it. I still have my original and that is not the one I am sending. I don't want to say too much about what I do... but through the perks of my job, I managed to buy a Rogers R800a Xperia Play for dirt cheap! Like really dirt cheap! (Don't worry it's legit! :laugh:) It's a used and abused Demo/Display model from I believe Futureshop over here in Canada. The outside has a heavy deep scratch on it, back is a little scuffed up. Some minor scratches on the pre-applied shatter proof film. The original 8GB Microsd is missing. But otherwise everything else appears to be functioning just fine.

I have already paid for the sim and bootloader unlock from WotanServer. I have it flashed with a fresh FTF file and loaded with Doomkernel. It's ready for development! It's my turn to give back to the community. I have not been active on this side of the forums so I would like to know which developer needs it the most or can take advantage of it the most? If there is a general consensus here I can PM them and get this phone shipped off to them! I hope it's not too costly... Canadapost can get pricy :crying:

All I ask is that this phone gets put to good use! I hope for a new kernel to load on to my old Play!
[Xperia Play General] Zeag:
Now THAT'S generosity! I think Nickholtus might put it to good use. Him and Achotjan seem to be sending a single XPlay back and forth between them to develop the 3.4 kernel. (At least that's what it seems like based on the last post here)

My guess is that they're the one who'd benefit the most from this!
[Xperia Play General] pedyvirus:
well is said this before and im saying it again

i think our last chance is nobodyatall himself

he said that he only needs xperia play for bringing 3.4 kernel to zeus board like he did for arc

but im not sure if he is active anymore :(
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
That's right

[MENTION=4004993]raginginferno[/MENTION] , you should contact nobodyAtAll then, he's a really good dev. Thank you for your kindness man, and let's hope that someone will finally bring the 3.4 kernel to us
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=788040]nobodyAtall[/MENTION] u wanted an xperia play to help us get the Kernel.. here you go.. someone is ready to Donate one.. plz help us in bringing the kernel for the play.
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
I agree. It's based off his kernel at the end of the day.

I've been spending weeks on it, trying to get it sorted. I've now taken it to the point where I'm modifying the driver file for the touchscreen. I've stopped it from doing it's 'workaround' when it discovers the bootloader is the wrong version but still no joy.

I was working on it on another PC originally, so I copied the disk to another but now whenever I try to compile I have issues with the empty.c/empty.o file... Error 8 or whatever... Once I get it sorted though I'll let people know how it's going, but at the end of the day nAa will probs be able to fix this much easier. xD

Edit: [MENTION=788040]nobodyAtall[/MENTION] - If you're still willing to help us out with the 3.4 Kernel, I don't mind donating one of my Xperia Plays either (R800i). So take your pick!
[Xperia Play General] nobodyAtall:
Hello community,

It's been quite some time since I touched this kernel, but I still remember a thing or two of the hacks needed ;)

As I've already said, porting 3.4 should not be more 'impossible' than it was with other Sony 2011 boards. If anyone wants to send me a Play I can try to do this.

Read the Disclaimer though:

As usual with these things, no promises or timelines or whatever.

[Xperia Play General] Tlailaxu:
yaaay!
[Xperia Play General] Zeag:
Great news! Allright [MENTION=4004993]raginginferno[/MENTION] ! I vote for nobodyAtall for the giveaway as well :)
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
[MENTION=4004993]raginginferno[/MENTION] - If your spare Xperia Play is to go to nAa then that's great - I'll hold off on sending mine unless an R800i is specifically required. If you've already given it away though, please let me know and I'll send mine.

What are the shipping costs from Canada? I looked up the prices for a <1KG small package to Greece and it costs around £25 in the UK lol ($40).
[Xperia Play General] Zeag:
Yikes... might as well give him money so he can buy one from Ebay.ca for about $50 at this point :P

As for r800a vs r800i, both are completely reversible, I flashed my r800a to a r800i .tft with no issues.
[Xperia Play General] olokos:
That was a bad idea. Usually flashing ftf from one device to another would cause a hard brick.

[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
Been a bit busy this weekend. I haven't actually checked the prices for shipping. It's a little hard to determine since I don't know how I am shipping it. Box or Bubble Envelope... Would it survive in a bubble envelope...? It would probably be the cheaper method...

In any case I'm glad that nobodyAtall and Achotjan is interested. Looks like the general vote is for nobodayAtall at the moment. But the only thing is does it matter that I have a R800a as apposed to a R800i? Does that really matter? It probably doesn't right?
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
As far as I know there will only be minor modifications required to get the Kernel to work with the R800i also. (Assuming we get it working properly on the R800a)

Like I said though, I have two spare Xperia Plays (on top of the one I intend to keep, so 3 total). All of which are R800i's, so I don't mind donating one. The two that are spare though aren't in the best of conditions, they have both been given to me by friends when they have died - and I've simply fixed them to working condition again.

One was the flex cable, it now works perfectly fine but is heavily scratched and a bit dirty under the screen. The other I received recently, the issue was related to the battery but it now works 100% also, however it also has a problem with the power button which I hope to fix - I've also noticed it's been taken apart before and put back together wrong... Hilariously... to the extent where screws have protruded through the plastic. Epic. xD

The spare I'm keeping doesn't have a single mark on it and is the phone I used for 2 years. (I take care of my things :) lol)

I'll get an accurate price for shipment today, as the £25 was an estimate.
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
Thanks to all of u generous ppl.. The community is still striving.. I hope nobodyatall.. Fixes our kernel.. And we hav a long lifetime for play.. If he cnt.. I dnt thinkso anyone else will be.. Best of luck to all.

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play General] Zeag:
The process was done with Alejandrissimo so I'm guessing he knew what he was doing. It did took a few tries to get the bands working correctly though :P
[Xperia Play General] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Its been awhile since I've been back at the Xperia Play forums, oh how I miss the Xperia play… Anyway, wow what strides have been made since I left. Good luck with everything! Xperia Play with 4.4! WOWEE :P
[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
I have sent off the Xperia Play to nobodyAtall this morning. Hopefully in about 2 weeks he has a new phone to develop for! *fingers crossed* :victory:

Shipping wasn't as bad as we though it would be as it was discussed earlier . There was a little under $10 option. Obviously no tracking or insurance for that price :p
[Xperia Play General] Tlailaxu:
Kinda risky to send it without tracking,you have good faith in whatever parcelservice you used.i pray for you :angel:
[Xperia Play General] saqibkhan:
we all pray for u.. nobodyatall.. hehe.. will become "Everything For Us All" once he fixes the Kernel.
[Xperia Play General] raginginferno:
Well... when the shipping with tracking and insurance cost more than what I paid for the phone and the bootloader unlock service from WotanServer combined... I'm not as inclined to pick the more expensive shipping method :p
[Xperia Play General] mikeioannina:
For anyone who is interested, I've just updated my zeus device repositories & the kernel to bring zeus up-to-date with mogami devices for cm-10.1 & cm-10.2 branches.
