Hello. I am from Russia. I use ROM KitKat For My Xperia Play. It`s as second breathe for my old phone. This ROM is most powerfull roms for Xperia Play. But I`am still waiting the camera working, and wants no wi-fi drops, because the wifi drops often, when phone is locked, I have to reboot the phone, and rebooting takes so much time, for about 4-5 minutes=( After wi-fi drops. the swith on/off wi-fi helps 0ne/two times. But It`s helped several times, but not always. I try to change all wi-fi settings, as scanniw wifi always, but there is the same result. I need to reboot very often=(

Can you repair that problem of wi-fi in next build? And how long we must wait next build?

Thanks Too Much, Mikeioannina.

anyone knows how to increase the ram of my xplay because i have only 170mb of free ram and i cant play games because i have low free ram

i have installed swapper but i dont see changes

I do overclock to MIN: 245mhz MAX: 1400mhz and i can obtain 190 of free ram but my brother had installed the rom Gin2Jellybean and he have 270 of free ram

any tips or mods or other things for increase my ram in 4.4? :(

i can do overclock to 1.6 mhz?

Post that in the other thead..this is only for development please.:good:

you cant have same memory in KK that you have in GB..the kernel in GB is higly optimized.,.;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] olokos:
Not to be rude or anything, but there's already a thread for discussion about this ROM and it was out there since day one, used by everybody. It has 51 pages already. It puzzles me as to why you created yet another discussion thread for this rom and what's more interesting, you put a discussion thread in a development section whereas there's no development involved in a plain discussion, so your thread isn't even in a correct section....

Here's the actual, proper discussion thread I was talking about.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
first of all i didnt see it as i dont go to general section as often as maybe i should..:D

second that was meant to be a clean thread based on latest build, with a review and a tutorial step by step in how to install that rom..as you may or may not know, i have many followers on xperia play , on my blog and youtube channel, and many users asked me to do a video tutorial..so i did..actually im working on fixing camera issue on kitkat and/or fixing lollipop rom as well for xperia play..but really i think maybe it s better dont do anything..as it seems we have heavier contributors to this phone here..:confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] smashingeeks:
Okay, so I just downloaded the NEO L version, will update this post

Flashed the kernel, it takes some time to load CWM fully.

The buttons aren't working as they're supposed to, HOME is scrolling down and MENU is selecting. But that's not at all a problem.

Everything [MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] mentioned is working. The ROM is smooth. I think the battery is draining pretty quickly but that may be because I turned camera app and some other things which aren't working.

So, I charged the phone 100% at 11 AM, and I just kept it to see hows' the battery life. Its 6 PM now, and I have 35% battery remaining. I haven't used the phone in this duration but its not a problem for now.

[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] i have tested the rom and it is prefect but there is some problem

1-recovery is slow in doing actions like wipe data/factory reset

2-i changed runtime to ART and after that rom didn't boot

thank u for this great job:good:

and i have xperia play

Question : till the time this doesn't work.. can any suggest me a working Reverse Tethering program by USB..(to use laptop internet on mobile by USB connection) I tried Easy Tether .. not working.

Edit 1 : Why is the touch not smooth.. I mean its not like GB/ICS/JB at all.. its different.. stubborn touch... feels hard to touch. not smooth and soft.

Edit 2: Battery indeed running out fast.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smashingeeks:
Yeah, I also felt that touch is working somewhat weirdly
[Xperia Play Android Development] kedar a.k.a. 3K:
tested the rom , its beautiful.,but apart from wifi bt and camera,

the touch seems less responsive at times,and the lack of OSB is felt,battery is like 1%=5 minutes
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spatinator:
Could upping the voltage of the digitizer improve the touchscreen responsiveness?

[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
well im using this rom as my daily driver now (because i dont need wifi bt or camera on this phone :D )

1-auto brightness is not working as it should. sometimes screen comes dark then comes back to normal

2-i think touch needs more pressure to work but i like it :)

3-cwm is not working well. keys are different from what they should be and it takes too much time to do simple things

4-i see blackscreen after kernel logo. i dont know whats causing that. i think problem is kernel related but its not important. rom boots fine :) but you have to wait very long time :(

my tests till now:

1-games are even faster than gb (atleast causal games i have). i always had too many lags in zombie road trip but its wrokign really smooth now

2-the ui is a faster and more beautiful than stock gb.

and forget to give the rom sometime. its getting more and more smoother from when i installed it

more tests coming soon. because i wiped my sdcard for some reasons and i dont have all my data now :)

update1:

i did some more testing for touchscreen. i think the problem is really big. i can play master piano really smooth. this games need really good touchscreen to work well and it was working great for me

update2:

i tested videos now. i cant believe that. not lag at all. i can finally play all my videos without problems that i had before :eek:
[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
Games faster than gb ? omg but it's probably because wifi, bt and camera aren't working so the phone uses less CPU and RAM...
[Xperia Play Android Development] pedyvirus:
i havnt still tested hd games (because i deleted all because of lags :p ) but all my casual games are working faster and less laggy than gb

also i mention that i disabled low ram mode to use transparency :D

[MENTION=4943716]pedyvirus[/MENTION]

I am also using it as my Daily driver.. I don't care about all the bugs.. hehe. im loving it.. I do miss the camera though.. but I love it.

any bugs you found.. any more news ? what about the battery

for me.. the batter is better from 100 to 50%.. but goes more quickly from 50-0% .. battery is really a small little issues I think comparatively to GB/ICS?JB .. but all these things to be fixed later .. :)

Edit: Is Reverse USB tethering working for anyone. because WIFI is not working.. we definitely need to get it working.. one method that works for me is this,but all my software don't get internet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1371345

can anyone Get this method to Work.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2287494 plz let me know.. I desperately need it.. my data limit is low..

[Xperia Play Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Just flashed and its great rom. As i have second phone i will use it as my daily. One bug (?) i have is home button doesnt turn screen on and sometimes back doesnt work, but i can ive with it

I dont know if it is possible, but can we use internal memory as /system and /cache only and sdcard as /data and /data/media (sdcard will be internal memory like in Z series and other devices with 16gb+ internal)? That way we will have enough space for art cache and more than needed for system apps and files

I know we wont be able to unmount sdcard, but now many of us (i think) ue link2sd or other scripts, so it wont be different than that

Didnt check touchpads but im sure 99% not working.

im using this ROM as a daily driver.. and well.. its kinda ok.
[Xperia Play Android Development] vmaandr:
Did you have any issues with wireless?

I've tried to install Xperia Overlay twice: first time after Xperia Legacy CM13, then I back to the stock firmware and tried to install Xperia Overlay once again.

It really looks great. But unfortunately WiFi and Bluetooth didn't work for me (Neo L) at all. It was inactive in Settings, and when I tried to switch it on I was getting only "Enabling WiFi...." or something like that.

Do you have any ideas what could be the cause of that?

is there kernel i can use, which allow me to overclock my cpu to 1,9-2,0 Ghz? It was really helful on HyperGamer rom. I tried kernel from HG, but it's not working.

Can overclocking options be easy changed, by modifing existing kernel?

[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlay4Life:
This rom has a odd problem where every app works online except Rosetta Stone: apkpure.com/rosetta-stone-learn-to-speak-read-new-languages/air.com.rosettastone.mobile.CoursePlayer/download/40300370-APK?from=versions%2Fversion

Tried it on android lollipop and it works just fine on it, but for some reason on 4.4.4 it can't login as if it's something hard coded into the rom that blocks it, does anybody know what it could be? i've tried deleting hosts so thats not it.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Dontral:
Hello, is there a chance that this rom can go under android go? Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] XperiaPlay4Life:
It all depends on what apps you want to run, many things are starting to require android 5.0 now and Lollipop runs very slow/unusable on the xperia play. But for normal emulation of 1990s systems it's fine using this kitkat rom.

what about fixing the bugs.. anyhelp with that all those 59 people ??
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
I downloaded the ROM mainly to convert the Kernel into a FTF file so more people would be able to Flash it. I cant use the ROM daily since WiFi isn't working so I really haven't been able to test much.
[Xperia Play Android Development] m.morcielago:
I downloaded this Rom ,but my phone is XPERIA PLAY.

I'm not sure about flashing mt25i ftf,on my phone

It's so risky

I'm worry about bricking
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
You don't have to flash that firmware, you just need to have unlocked vendor partition. My phone already had it so I just flashed the Kernel then Installed the ROM and it worked fine. Just make sure you format every thing before and after flashing the new Kernel(System, Data, etc.).
[Xperia Play Android Development] kedar a.k.a. 3K:
i own a neo l but even then i didnt flash the stock ftf , all that matters is that u have an unlocked bootloader and you do a full clean wipe before installing the rom :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] m.morcielago:
What difference between normal installing and this way?

For example the other CM Roms.

Flash kernel ,inter CWM ,full wipe ,install zip from sd card.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
can someone upload a video tour of this KK rom? i would love to see it in action
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
Its basically the same, the only extra thing would be doing a full wipe before Flashing the Kernel to avoid Step 1.1:

I have to do it before Flashing the Kernel because I do not have Fastboot mode, but if you have fastboot mode it doesn't matter if you do it my way or Mikeioannina's way.

.

.

I might, but I don't see the point of it since it looks the same as any other CM11 ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] EP35DS4:
I thought the main issues are already known and that those are the most important while everything else has to wait... so is there really a point in reporting those minor bugs now? I thought it would be better to keep this thread a little bit clean.

But okay, what I experienced is that it's much slower than the previous test rom of cm11. It just doesn't feel as snappy anymore and lacks always just a little bit behind...

But it's great to see that calls and data are working now. And of course its a lot faster as jb or anything similar. So all in all a great pice of work :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
i want to see the speed, RAM usage, transition speed, multitasking speed and Maybe ART (If possible) i hear ART is sketchy.

[Xperia Play Android Development] WhiteWashed:
How is the battery draining ? I'm expecting it to be very high, so tell me that I'm wrong x(

By the way, now that calls and data are working I might give a try to this ROM and report my feedback...
[Xperia Play Android Development] m.morcielago:
So tell me about flashing "neo L" stock Rom on my Xperia PLAY

Is that necessary?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheScriptKitty:
No, it is not necessary to Flash any type of Neo L Firmware on the Xperia Play for the ROM to Boot and Work.
