The best way to get answers is to read the first couple and last page of posts in the thread before posting questions about it. If it's about compatibility between two items, then the same should be done for both of their threads. If you don't have an answer by then and it seems like something that wouldn't be found by looking further, that's when to ask.

Usually kernel compatibility questions are best asked in the kernel thread. The kernel is built for the system, not the system for the kernel, so the kernel dev will have more information and support for what ROMs work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HUEguy:
Just wanting to share this.. So I was stupid enough to ask for sony help on kitkat on facebook, I wasn't even expecting an answer but they actually respond! And I got this more stupid answer: "Hi -----, we would not help with developing modified software versions for our handsets as this will void your warranty and as such we do not advise any users on doing this. - ----- "

Xperia Play is one of the best phones available!!! (in terms of design, not speed!)
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
Please, stop s**tposting ! This is a development thread where only developers or advanced users who can help Mike should post ! For questions use the Q&A Forum !!!

Has anybody been able to boot this rom on the r800x?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
## Nightly build 20141006 - cm-11.0

* Latest cm11.0 changes

* Replace kernel as3676 LED driver with the stock ICS one. Includes the following bugfixes:

- Torch not blinking together with notifications on urushi

- Keyboard not blinking together with notifications on mango/iyokan

- Music light should be working again on coconut

- Users are able to tweak the LED max current again, like in previous android versions and early nAa kernel versions

- Fading led effect is removed since the old driver doesn't support it (at least not yet)

- Removed ugly camera hacks for urushi that fixed torch when using the newer led driver

* Removed button backlight indication while booting in recovery - only the notification LED is used now

* Removed solid blue notification LED while in recovery

* Disabled WiFi Direct support - mogami

* Fixed WiFi hotspot - mogami

* Testing SDIO changes from stock kernel that could improve WiFi - mogami

* Included nAa spi_qsd workarounds for cy8ctma300_touch, should fix the touchscreen lags - zeus

* Testing fix for qdsp5v2 crashes on certain operations (like using Viber)

* Security fix for CVE-2012-6657

* Increased ZRAM swap size to 192MB

* Set background app limit to 16

* Set background services limit to 8

* Disabled stereo recording flag again on coconut to fix speaker issues

* Updated MMC kernel drivers

* Camera: set semc-focus-area correctly

* Added scrolling to the light picker dialog to fix issues on mdpi devices

Builds will roll alphabetically for all devices until tomorrow

WiFi/BT/Camera are still broken on zeus
[Xperia Play Android Development] ultimatelegend1:
I did try but it won't boot i'm guessing it's a kernel related problem
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
why is wifi and bt so difficult to implement?
[Xperia Play Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I take it you were never going to help...

It requires being able to back port drivers from newer kernels to be compatible with the frameworks but still work with the older hardware. The old frameworks source could only be updated so much before it simply wasn't realistic anymore, which happened shortly after ICS.

I did look over the kernel source. If the kernel configuration is zeus_defconfig, there are no wifi parameters included. Is there a reason for that?
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
I have supported cm11 on xperia play till now..if not literally,vocally !! but I think I have given up Hope on this one now.. !! :( WiFi,BT and Camera seem far from fixed.

im back on cm7.2 .. which is very Light .. and with Link2sd, its as fast and Perfect as can be.. I don't remember but I think im Using Blend MIUI Kernel for CM7.2 as I cant recognize from the Kernel image.. I am hoping I am wrong .. but yeah :(

Have my Play Since 2011 and have taken all kinds of "Old Phone" jokes as cud be by everyone !!
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
xperia play is perfect phone. i m with stock ics because on GB maps and some other apps have ugly UI. also some apps are not available in play store
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
The reason is that I couldn't get anything to work. You can take a look at zeus-* branches which contain draft/experimental changes, but they are still incomplete.

@ everyone: I have opened this thread for development discussion and 90% of the posts are offtopic. Nobody cares if you don't like the progress of this project and flashed another ROM/whatever. If you don't have something really useful to contribute, please don't make useless posts. I will have to lock the thread if this situation continues.
[Xperia Play Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Alright. I didn't want to go messing with it if I was in the wrong config or something. It's never fun getting a few hours in and finding that out lol.

Do me a solid and stop posting random comments just to prove you are ignoring the reply to your last post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] awkXda:
Just a note on that - would it be possible if mods cleaned up useless posts instead? I think there are plenty of people like me who don't spend much time on xda otherwise but keep this thread and a couple more subscribed to just to not miss any important potential development, I appreciate not having to hunt down any potential new thread in the forums to know what's happening with the Xperia Play!

Please don't close it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
im sure this is Not as useless a Post as some would consider.. its more of a news.

Here you go with MIUI v5 Based on 4.4.4 Kit Kat CM11 by Mike. Thanks to [MENTION=4259536]MaxWorks[/MENTION] for his great effort. if anyone wants to try and Review. Maybe [MENTION=5172354]Frutak[/MENTION] :p

Below is said by Maxworks in MIUI Forums

"You can try it by yourself, as I don't have access to X-Play

I doubt that I will continue porting MIUIv5 for our device more, as Its too heavy for it.

This ROM is Beta, and have several interface bugs, and maybe small other bugs, but it can be used for daily.

You need to disable network access for Explorer application in security, as it try to download updates from Xiaomi and can't, but eat battery very fast

"ROM Review"

I tried and tested the ROM myself and have this to say about it.

hi.. I tries using the ROM but its very unstable at the moment..

does not go beyond lockscreen and only works if the Slide is Open Position for Xperia Play !!

WIFI , Bluetooth and Camera donot work as CM11 has this 3 bugs for Xperia Play !!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Frutak:
Oh nice news but I can try it:// my phone xperia play have a my girlfriend:D sorry my friend:(
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
I take it nobody is bothering to attempt a port to CDMA? Can anyone point me in the right direction to someone who can assist me in a CDMA port/patch? I have tried by myself, but I'm having several problems
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
No xperia play CDMA to test any builds so as of right now no there isn't a CDMA build yet I'll try as soon as I get another xperia play. (I'm also picking up the new xperia z3v from Verizon at tax time so I'll start support in that as well in the future
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
I tell you what..... I just got given a nexus 4. I will send you my CDMA play, unlocked, rooted, ready to go. PM an address and i will send for free. I have a couple of other plays laying around, but they have issues I haven't been able to get to yet (lack of motivation). I will send you my play, so that the other poor verizon customers have a little more life to give their plays. :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Sweet thanks bud
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
Got the address.... Will send it hopefully friday when the sim for my nexus comes in. this is the least I can do for the dev community considering all the roms I have flashed over the years
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Thank you again. Now I can update all of my Roms fix a few bring a couple of new Roms over to the Xperia line and hopefully get cm11 to boot on the play
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
Just making sure you know, CM11 does boot on the play. Just Wifi, BT, and camera not working. I don't know if you made a quick mistake or not, but I thought I should just let you know that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Does it boot for CDMA device or just GSM?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
Oh you were talking about making it boot for CDMA. My bad. I thought you meant making the rom boot in general.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
I'm hoping to get it to the Xperia to arrived thanks to mtrex90
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
Just an update for the CDMA users, the Play is on the way to darkharbinger81. We hope to get a working port started soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
I have received the xperia play thanks to mtrex90 I will start as soon as I can
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
After doing a quick port for a refresher I m doing a nandroid of my dark ParanoidAndroid rom i ported I'm going to start working on getting this to boot on the r800x I will post any and all process on this thread
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
Seen the pics, looks great. Glad we got a CDMA play in the hands of a good developer
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
I'm hoping I can find where the issue lies in the kernel of why it won't boot I only get a black screen tried two different kernels :bang head:
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
Just an update, we are trying to get darkharbinger81's desktop up and running so he can try to decompile some kernels... Coincidentally my laptop got borked last night lol. Trying to get that all sorted out so I can also start work on the kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Isn't life grand? Lol sorry for the rocky start but I'm determines to cm11 to boot at least worse case I try to see if I can compilation the kernel for my self were trying
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tyler27:
Thank you for the CDMA love, seems like it was the special needs child of the plays, mine is being revived due to faulty LG G2

Hows it coming along?
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
We are still not able to get it boot as of right now mtrex90 and my self are working on trying to revive my desktop so I can start decompile of the kernel and see what is missing. We are working as much as out lifes allows us to we will post any /all progress and updates as we go along please be patient I know the CDMA is the black sheep for xperia and I won't give up on a forum that me who I am now lol I will support the xperia play for as long as I can
[Xperia Play Android Development] mtrex90:
We are getting in contact with people who can help us in a CDMA port. Its tedious due to the age of the phone. Many other awesome developers have moved on. I will also try to support the play as long as possible, but we need to first understand what we are dealing with better. We will keep everyone posted on our progress. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Akintex:
how to add OSB IN THIS FIRMWARE?

how to add OSB IN THIS FIRMWARE?:p
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Good news for everyone. :victory:

Initial Wi-Fi configuration is done, basic testing was done and Wi-Fi can be enabled and used.

Initial BT configuration is done too, BT can be enabled but I haven't tried doing anything else yet.

All of this is possible thanks to [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] who now has an msm7x30 huawei u8860 device that uses bcm4329 Wi-Fi/BT chipset too. I just copied his code and modified the configuration to match zeus based devices.

I will try releasing some new builds this week so we can have more testing.

As usual, sources are up on github for those who like to make their own builds.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Awesome great news now 3.4 kernel can move forward for GSM users great job
[Xperia Play Android Development] Frutak:
Nice Mike!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] awkXda:
Awesome! Does it mean a new kernel or was everything fixed on the ROM side??

Any hope in the same vein for the camera? I'm very excited to try this out! I can live without the camera ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Can someone with stock rom or any other rom with working camera provide me some logs?

I need a logcat & a dmesg right after opening camera.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
Stock (debloated) rom, lupus GB kernel (with custom partitions):

Logs taken with :

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

from command prompt (on windows), right after opening camera app...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Vortelf:
Sorry for the dumb question, but ...

Won't the camera drop the performance alot?
[Xperia Play Android Development] HUEguy:
Guys for questions and other things not related to the kernel development, lets use the discussion thread on general session ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Vortelf:
I sorry for the spam, but just o let you know, this IS related to the kernel. And also, because of the low-end specs of our phone the higher camera/video quality - the performance will get lower. Because of this I suggest to not include the recording (0p) and leave only the normal camera, if it's possible and if the camera gets to work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] corrado113:
Let me know if you still need it. I also have Stock .84 ROM with Lupus kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Everything in this post is wrong. Camera will not affect performance.

A half-baked ROM without working camera doesn't make sense, there's nothing more to discuss here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:

[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
Is Wifi supposed to work now? Because I installed the nightly, but Wifi's little Off/On switch is still greyed out. Am I supposed to wipe dalvik cache or something?
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
It still doesn't have mac adress implemented, so it should not work yet
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Wifi should work, mac address is random at the moment. Follow the installation steps correctly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kedar a.k.a. 3K:
tried the latest release(pheonix) and i'm so happy , cant thank you enough :D

tried the rom for about 4 hours and here are my reviews:

-wifi , bluetooth , hotspot work perfectly fine

-no camera

-installed subway surf and noticed downscaling of textures and graphics (very low graphics)

note : after 1st boot battery consumption is crazy and phone becomes hot too , but give it some time and reboot

battery consumption is still high than average but i'll give it some time to settle since only 5 hrs have passed after installing the rom.

request : OSB would be nice .

i have a mac address generator here. does it help?

[WIP][ALL][PORT][4.4+] PS4 Remote Play

Since WiFi is working now you guys might want try this:

[WIP][ALL][PORT][4.4+] PS4 Remote Play ;)

BTW can someone please make a Thread under Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Themes and Apps that links back to [WIP][ALL][PORT][4.4+] PS4 Remote Play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
I went into recovery, formatted system, data, and cache (even though I was just updating from the last nightly) then flashed the new nightly, and rebooted. When I went to settings, I would tap on Wifi, and the switch would slide to on, but just sit there forever, without actually turning on. What am I doing wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Did you flash the new included kernel?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
Welp, that was it. I thought the kernel got flashed with the rom when you flash the zip. Anyways, thanks! :D

Thank you!! :good:

Tested on NEO L, it shows the access points in Wi-fi settings but I doesn't connect

Bluetooth is working

hi, i just wanted to say THANK YOU for keeping the development alive and making WIFI and BT work! i'm also greek so... efxaristo poli file!!!

looking forward to see camera working or even lolipop on XPERIA PLAY!

BTW: TouchPads not working too! (tested on PPSSPP and MUPEN64)

oh. and how can I compile the kernel with swapon support?
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
eDIT. I NEVER KNEW kernel recovery WAS WITH vOLUME UP :/

a question.. why is The New Android L kinda official Google Keyboard from the Playstore not compatible with our device.. it doesn't show up in mobile playstore search.. and even if u open it from Desktop.. it shows

This app is incompatible with all of your devices. .. why is that so.. the requirement is 4.0 and above.. where am I wrong :/ .. lol

even the xperia keyboard is showing as Incompatible :(

Google Keyboard shows as compatible and installs for me. Working fine here.

Not noticed any major problems so far apart from ones already mentioned. So far the ROM is running pretty well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
how is that possible?? I installed Nano Gapps .. is that the issue ??

which gapps did you install ?? is it even because of that ?? :/

can anyone help in porting this rom

did anyone notice my touchpad question?
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
Deleted. An accidental reply with xda app. Sorry.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ch3mn3y:
For now legacy team tried to make everything more important to work (like, wifi, bt), so this rom,could be used as daily. Thats why noone tried to make touchpad work, coz it would be waste of time if whole rom wouldnt be useful.

Additionaly there were lot of changes all the time in rom and kernel, so noone outside the team tried to make changes to make tpuchpad work.

Give them time, im sure that they womt to make everything (including tpuchad) to work like on cm9/10.

omg.. I downloaded Minimal Gapps.. I was trying the Minimal X earlier .. but to no effect.. I am not Debloating the ROm at all as well.. what I do is.. Wipe Data/Factory Reset .. Wipe Cache.. Wipe System in Mounts and Storage.. and then install CM11.. and then Gapps..

but its still showing these Keyboards as Incompatible.. I have a R800i.. are you sure the links I mentioned above show you as compatible ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] alko_m:
Why don't you try to install .apk directly? For example from here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
i know.. I can.. I can install .apk for Google Keyboard and Xperia Keyboard as well.. but the point is how can the same rom same Gapps same kernel.. be shown as Compatible for one person and not for the other.. its the Bug im after.. not the .apk :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] KiraYahiroz:
The only thing I can think of is country restriction, not sure what else would flag it as incompatible.

What does it say when you try to install it from the webpage version on the desktop?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin&hl=en_GB

It usually tells you more information on why it's not compatible.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
ou are right.. it says.. "This item cannot be installed in your Device's Country.. how to change the country.. from where does Google Play store detect country as all my location is off.. I have changed my Time zone to London in 'Date and Time" and also changed my London in my Gmail Account !! still the same :(

[Xperia Play Android Development] Tired_:
I can confirm that F2FS is working on cm-11-20141114, both in Android and in the Clockworkmod recovery included. Would be nice to see F2FS formatting support in CWM. I also managed to get ART working, using an app called Mounts2SD to fake a larger cache partition on my SD card. Performance on ART is pretty sketchy, but I don't know if it is compiling things in the background or whatever, so I'm going to let it sit for a few hours and then check it out. The SD card I am using is fast but not really fast, which may also have something to do with the low performance I am seeing...I have one on order that is really fast, so we'll see how that one is when it arrives. First boot took a looooooooooooong time...20+ minutes on the boot animation, then nearly 40 minutes on Android is upgrading, optimizing my 111 apps. Hopefully they won't all be that long!
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
How can i convert everything to F2FS?

I've used Terminal Emulator, search on google how to use mkfs.f2fs
