i tired usb for using the internet but it didnt work for me and i dont know why :(

well i dont need anything in my play other than mx player now so its ok :D

about battery my battery is damaged badly and i cant say anything about battery
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
The difficult thing about WiFi & BT is that the drivers from 2.6.32 don't work in 3.4 and also don't work for kitkat.

I've finished the android side of changes for wifi and almost everything for bluetooth, now only thing left is to figure out what needs to be changed in the kernel since the stock implementation doesn't work
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
I can't figure out how to boot into recovery. When I turn on the play it shows me the pink light and the LegacyXperia logo, then goes black. How do I enter the recovery? (I'm sorry for any migraines my noob-ish-ness may have induced)

review for neo l

i tested the rom once again and here are my opinions

GAMING: gaming is truly awesome on this rom ,tested nfs mw no lags at all even with gapps installed,reduced app loading time ,nice ram management and performance (on stock settings,no overclock).some times the touch acts weird though.this may very well maybe the best rom for gaming(TRULY GIVES U DUAL CORE EXPERIENCE),when google said that kitkat will improve performance of low end devices they meant it :D

i'm not a big follower of benchmarks , but this rom gave fairly good benchmarks (stock settings again, no overclock !)

benchmark screenshot attached below for whosoever it may concern.

BATTERY: battery life needs to be improved upon ,the screen shot i've attached is from 92% to 79% in appox 8 hrs without any activity , i assume that something avoids the phone from going into deep sleep.

BUGS: no OSB!,at times the home option under personalization disappears,touch problems(less responsive at times) and others which are already mentioned.i was able to click a photo with the camera when i first opened the app,but after that it gave me "cannot connect to camera" error.

this truly will be a milestone rom as it offers the ultimate experience even on stock settings,a heavily modded version may offer much more! so i hope u solve the other issues and make the kernel stable:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Reiven89:
Wow this would be the definitive update for all Xperia Play users!
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
I've downloaded the neol ftf firmware but when i try to flash it with flashtool, it gives me the error "Error flashing. Aborted" :(

EDIT: solved, i'm using w8 and drivers were not installed...but it's strange, I clearly remember to have installed them some time ago :silly:

Looks like everyone is having fun with your kitkat..:rolleyes:and I'm siting here like a grumpy old man in a waiting for a news paper lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] Frutak:
You are not alone who siting here:D i waiting for updete like wifi fix bt and camera fix:P without this think its not for me daily use rom:/
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
I can't get into recovery...can someone tell me the keys to press to enter on recovery with the play ? :crying:
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
the right button.. R button that is used to play Games.. on the right hand side of the phone. below volume keys.
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
Thanks :good::good::good:

Just flashed. Will report later on after I get to use it for a few minutes :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nuck-TH:
why android 4.x eats so much ram? any way to reduce it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
No OSB isn't a bug considering that our phone has physical buttons(But it would be nice to have).

About the battery, did you open the Camera App? Because I noticed that if you do, the battery consumption goes up around 30%. You can fix it by Rebooting the phone and not opening the Camera App again.

BTW I'm making a video so more people can see the ROM in action( [MENTION=3767022]xdarkmario[/MENTION] ). I will upload it and post it here in a few days ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
After a day of usage I can give my feedback to...

Gaming is really awesome with this ROM...tried heavy gaming with GTA VC and there was just some microlags sometimes, but on the great part of the time the game is 100% smooth, even better than on GB, and on stock CPU clock ! Gamepad works as well.

Multitasking is good too, no problem with that.

Except known bugs (wifi, bt, and camera) the only really bad thing is the battery drain speed, especially after flashing gapps, it really got even worse D: google services drains a plenty of battery. I'm leaving a screenshot in attachment.

I can confirm that sometimes the touch has a strange behavoir, when you try to slide up or down it keeps going up/down even if you remove the finger from the screen O.o but it happens rarely.

Sometimes when the phone is on stand-by, the home button doesn't wake the phone and I have to use the power button...I can live with it but it's still a bug that is worth to be mentioned :p

Devs made anyway a great work here, thanks for giving KK to our play :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] qwasz123:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

My main phone died on me, and while it is in limbo with Sony repair I can use this Rom!

Devs, YOU. ARE. AMAZING.

Downloading now, the only thing I need to have working is WiFi, but I don't care to try and test this awesome rom out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Could anyone tell me if the touchpad s have the "lag bug" like JB ROMS?

Enviado de meu R800i usando o Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
Touchpads aren't working...when you press them the game (on my case GTA VC) keeps running smooth,
[Xperia Play Android Development] qwasz123:
Are the touchpads not working at all, or just the once game? Could you test out the touchpads on Mupen64?

Also it states that WiFi and camera work in the link of what works and what doesn't on the front page, is that true?

Edit: I take it back, there was another link to check out the Xperia Play what works vs what doesn't. Touchpad work, WiFi does not.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Toasty Clown:
I'm sorry, this has evaded me until just now. KitKat has better performance than Gingerbread? Wow. When it was said that KitKat was optimised for older phones, I wasn't expecting it to be this optimised.
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
On the working/not working list it's written that GAMEPAD works, but that doesn't mean that TOUCHPADS work too :P

I can't test anything right now, if someone else could test that for u it would be nice...
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Touchpads

:(

Did you try touchpad fix? Maybe it work for kitkat...

ubuntu touch for neo L/play

with the kernel now stable , i think the innovative ubuntu touch os development will speed up , it'll be a real treat to run it on our phones :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
If I'm not mistaken, as of now nandroid backups aren't working and I wouldn't want to brick my phone without a backup :( I wonder if Adreno Libs are working...

EDIT: forgot to tell you guys that now, strangely, battery doesn't drain so much like on the screenshot posted by me yesterday, now after 10h and 20min i still have almost 50% o battery and I was able to play GTA VC and emulate some GBA games with MyBoy emulator ! :D Leaving screenshots :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Touchpad fix is not needed, it's already integrated in the source
[Xperia Play Android Development] ravid1323:
someone can or did a video review of the rom? i sold my play a year ago and al the 3.4 kernel stuff started and it will be joy to see this :):):):):):):):)

It has buit-in one. Go to settings->buttons->power menu and check screenshot

Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] KiraYahiroz:
Flashed the ftf version of the kernel from here as I don't have fastboot on the phone and the ROM seems to be working fine. Don't have a spare SIM card so during setup it bought up a little message of inserting and reboot but I ignored it, and continued with the rest of it.

At the moment it feels pretty smooth, and quite stable. Not noticed any problems that hasn't already been mentioned, going to grab a few apps and install them to see how it performs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] HUEguy:
I've found this video tour from a brazilian guy http://youtu.be/mO2B3gBAxpg , well its a commented video and I dont understand any single word he says but its the only one on youtube so far. Looks like its pretty smooth and I check on a part of the video that it have 408mb of ram, can any one confirm if we gonna have all that? or its because the camera dont work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] harryfokker:
I understand all the video, he says that in the About this phone Menu is 400 mb for user, but in settings>Aplications>Running Apps , the free ram is 150mb mostly all the time, i think that can be more; i dont know exactly which apps he instal; he says to the rom is stable and fast, The Gamepad(CROSS AND BUTTONS) works perfect but the touchpads didn´t work ; i really hope the Wifi can be fixed and i will give it a chance, ill really be glad if the Camera and Bt works too but the Wifi is the most important;

For now im happy with the Honami 2.1.4 Rom ICS made it by SmokerMan is the pretties, fastest and minimal battery drain rom tha i try on Xperia PLay, using Emulators like PPSSPP, etc . But im really interested in this Kitkat rom.

Comon Guys you can do it, Xperia Legacy Project you are the best.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KiraYahiroz:
Not sure if it's a ROM or kernel problem, but my 2600mAh battery doesn't charge with this (works fine with JB). Switched back to the stock battery and charging is working again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Reiven89:
Anyone can confirm this? Using a 3600Mah battery and currently staying on GB hope will be fixed if its a bug
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
Charging worked fine when I was using the ROM.

EDIT:

I'm using the Original 1500mAh Battery.

[Xperia Play Android Development] KiraYahiroz:
Home button and menu button got switched around, and I've been noticing screen tearing as well with this build. The 20140703 one seems much more stable. Flashed back to that and all is well again.

I'll probably wait for kernel updates to be honest, as that's where the current major problem lies.

Aa.. back from kitkat cm 11 to cm7.2 .. such a relief..I tried to manage without wifi camera for sometime.. but lost my patience .. :D hoping all these things are fixed soo .. btw not much difference in gb and kitkat speed.. :D

Both amazng.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Uclydde:
When I boot into recovery to flash it, and I select install zip, there's no option to flash from my external sd, so I used ADB push to put the file on the internal sd, but selecting install from sdcard0 just returns the E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0. dafuq

EDIT: Nevermind. I used ADB sideload and it installed perfectly. How do I tether from windows 8 to this phone?

Sorry for my asking but any news about kernel bugs like wifi, BT, camera??:))
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
mike is working on it.. just go up a few posts and you will see that he mentioned it.. so I would not ask as he knows best for Xperia Play atm :)

am ust waiting too btw for Wifi BT and Camera.. I think only when these things will work,, the Xperia Overlay team will release for Xperia Play.. am desperately waiting for that :laugh:
[Xperia Play Android Development] HUEguy:
The overlay team said some release date?
[Xperia Play Android Development] m.morcielago:
No

But when I asked ,they said "Xperia PLAY version will be release with V2 of this Rom"
[Xperia Play Android Development] eddynoob:
hi all..wanted to try out this rom so badly..been waitng for it for so long but unfortunately my xplay broke couple of days back..and now that this rom is almost ready to be used as a daily driver..i dont have a phone!! :(..anyway i really wanted to know the overall experience like was it any better or worse than a stock gb rom (multitasking,ram management,battery etc).. and especially how did heavy games fare on this rom like mc4,gta III/vc/SA,asphalt 8 etc? .......

ill really be glad if someone gives me a overview ..thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
This ROM is better than a GB one. I tried GTA VC and the game was running fine, fluid like on GB and sometimes even better (on stock clock speed). Multitasking is very good too and RAM usage is good too, like JB and ICS (180-200MB free). Battery drain is good too but I've noticed that if you have, for example, 50% of remaining battery and you charge it to 90%, it will drain fast but if you charge it from 10-20% to 100% turning off the phone, the battery will drain much slower.

Touchscreen has a strange behavoir sometimes, especially when the phone is hot and the CPU is under stress.

There's are some minor bugs, for example sometimes when you turn the phone horizontally and then turn it back vertically, apps keep staying horizontally even if you close and re-open them.

I haven't experienced any forced reboot so far (2 weeks, maybe more), no even under stress so I can say that the ROM is very stable.

Overall, this ROM is a very good one, when Wifi, BT, and Camera will be fixed I think there will be no reason to go back on JB,ICS or GB.

The condition that higher is the version of Android and higher is the loss of performance is not verified anymore ! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Toasty Clown:
I have those problems on GB. For whatever reason, I have to 'overcharge' my battery to make it last longer (maybe the battery icon's 100% is inaccurate). And if I leave my Play on for too long, the touchscreen begins falsely detecting input.
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
Try a battery calibration, follow these steps:

1. Use the phone until the battery drains completely and the phone turns off

2. Boot the device; if the phone boots fine then wait until it turns off again for low battery

3. Leaving the phone off, plug it to the charger for 2 hours more than the time it usually takes to fully charge

4. Unplug the charger and pull out the battery for 10 min then insert it back and plug the charger (without booting the phone) for 2-3 min

5. With the charger plugged, boot the phone. When the boot is fully completed, plug off the charger

Repeat these steps 2 or 3 times !

As for the false detecting input, the same thing happens to me with a chinese phone immediately when i plug the charger :silly: I must always lock the screen. A whie ago I read that this problem is most likely due to the charger. If you use a charger that is not the one that you bought with the phone, you may have these problems.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Toasty Clown:
I've been using the stock charger since day 1. The touchscreen problems happen regardless of the charger being plugged in. Resetting the phone fixes it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] eddynoob:
Thanks a ton man!:good:...really impressed by the development so far..and just like all of us hope that the remaining stuff gets fixed sooner in the coming days...

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Hi..ive also faced this problem after i opened up my phone to replace the flex cable..even my camera got whacked..takes video but cant take pics.(clicks but cant save to the sd card..afterwards the camera app stops responding)...did many things to fix like resetting phone,flashing stock ftf..custom kernels,roms etc..nothing helped..have you done anything similar before u got this problem?..and could you sort it out?..and did anyone of u ever got this sort of problem?..

ps-i know its out of topic ..but im really curious now
[Xperia Play Android Development] Toasty Clown:
I never opened up my Play before, but I know that my flex cable is in a dire need of repair. If I slide the screen up or down, there's a chance that the phone will reset. It's worrying, to say the least. I myself did nothing to cause or repair it, it just seems to have degraded with age.
[Xperia Play Android Development] playitlouder:
Thanks Guys for this awesome ROM!

I have not seen a KitKat Rom which is that optimized like this before.

About 200mb of free Ram with just 512mb total is just insane.

What is stopping you to get wifi and bluetooth to work? A silly quirk like the touchscreen had?

The touchscreen driver has some problems at the moment, if the CPU is fully utilized by an App, then it is just missing out on some inputs. Giving the driver a higher priority may help.

I figured a logcat would not help much in this case. The problem is fairly easy to reproduce: Grab subway surf from the play store and try to survive, you will get what I mean...
[Xperia Play Android Development] KiraYahiroz:
At the moment it's drivers, there's no proper 3.4 drivers for wifi and bluetooth and the older 2.6 ones doesn't work, so it will take some time to these working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] julian280:
After around 10 days of daily use of this rom, I can say is like being on gingerbread with kitkat/CM feel and excellent performance. Thanks LX team!!!!

I discovered that the screen somehow spends more battery if you set brightness over 25%, even if you are not using the phone and screen is off, but if you set it to the minimum it lasts much much longer, even 2 whole days with daily use. My advice is to set it all the time to the minimum and set it higher only if you need it, and set it to the minimum again before locking screen. It happens with Xperia Play and Mango (mini pro sk17) builds of LXperia (I used 20140512 for mango and 20140718/19 for both). Look in the attachments for a mango screenie. My play is charging right now and its better if you charge it when it's turned off.

Now my short review: I've been busy with college this days so I just installed the rom and let it settle with no gaming/heavy use for like 4 days, just normal use (ocassional internet and social networks over 3g with dolphin browser no fb app or that ****, calls, sms, 2 daily hours of music playing, pdf reading and some email). At first battery life is quite short, around 9 hours, but it gets better every day.

Finally I could have some time for gaming with my play during the weekend and it's AWESOME!!!! GTA Vice City goes even better than on Bane of Speed and Dixperia 3, the best gb roms for me and San Andreas runs with no lags (on the stock graphic settings and swap partition. Didn't test it without swap). PPSSPP runs better than it did on gb, but I havent used it for quite a time so I can't tell if better performance is due to kitkat or emulator updates (or both). Touchpads doesnt work, but gamepad does.

Anyway, I have not experienced any softreboot or freeze with this build so far. THANKS LX TEAM ;)

Does this rom work with a 3600mah battery or work only with the original one?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
My XPlay got stolen a while back, but I'm getting a new one on Monday. Had the 3600mAh battery back then and it worked with every ROM. The battery shouldn't matter because all it is is a power source. So you should be fine. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Frutak:
You have 2 xperia play??:eek: if its true then send one to smokerman :DD
[Xperia Play Android Development] Reiven89:
m asking because an user reported that the rom is not working with a battery with enhanced capacity so i wanted to know if it was a common issue or no :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
Well I don't anymore XD

One got stolen. I'll buy one for smokerman in the next month or two because I AM NICE!

That and I wanna see his ROM continue development. :p

well thanks..im still waiting for a german user that offer me one to repair (maybe i can fix mine with his spare parts) but untill now nothing..

i wanna thank a user from California USA that send me one, but postoffice in Portugal ask me papers of the phone (receipt and others) and i never get it..they ship it back to USA..OMG..:eek::eek::eek:

so for now i will keep my arc/s and galaxy s2 work..and still no xperia play.

imp request

1) many people suffer from slow download speeds on browsers , so can u please make a TORRENT for roms as it'll download quickly , easy to post ratings and reviews , view no. of downloads , and also have a less chance of being corrupt,all the downloaders also may seed the specific torrent for better download speeds and availability.

2)also can you please upload the kernel seperately?

thanks in advance! :good:
