[Xperia Play Android Development] Tired_:
A day later, and it is still just as janky as ever on ART. Everything is slow, from the UI to apps, everything. Luckily I made a backup with CWM before I started this endeavour, and after restoring the backup (including all the files from my F2FS sd-ext partition, that CWM kindly and surprisingly backed up for me) I'm back with relatively normal performance on Dalvik. My really fast SD card will be in this week, and I'll give ART another shot then, but I am not hopeful. Does ART work on any of the other LegacyXperia supported devices? I'm wondering if the slowness is a Play thing (in which case I should be looking at logs and such to find out why) or if it is more systemic.

(should I be posting this in the general thread? I'm new at this and don't want to break the rules...)

I understand there the 2 parts. The "core" which is being updated once a while and the "zeus" part from mike. Is that right? Is "repo sync" the core part?

This is the framework of the last phoenix cm11 that I have edited to enable osb 24 dip, maybe useful :)

Dead SD card

Soooo,

My Xperia for no reason rebooted itself and after it turned on again my SD card wasn't working. Now I can format it, but do any of you know how I can try to recover anything from it? I tried with CHKDSK /R /F but it only said "Cannot open volume for direct access." and it doesn't appears in the DISKPART tool...

EDIT: YES. I've read the disclaimer. I'm asking for asking for help, not for revenge.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
any news?
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
Any news on the battery problem..its the battery problem cuz of which i shifted back to JB. Any devolopement or fix on that.. ? I miss kitkat.. It was much faster.

Edit : I meant the Battery Drain is tooo fast.. not like GB/ICS or JB at all.. much worse ! :( .. im back on JB and I can breath.. On Kit Kat I was ust charging my phone with USB at home.. Car Charger at car. and everywhere.. lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
there's no battery problem
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tired_:
So, my very fast SD card arrived, and I gave ART another shot. I restored from a CWM backup from the old SD card to the new, and performance was not awesome, so I did a fresh install and it seemed much better. In the same process as my last attempt, I installed Mounts2SD, had it mount my data and cache on a F2FS-formatted SD-EXT partition, rebooted, then enabled ART and rebooted again. The boot process took just under an hour this time (was slightly over an hour on the slower card), and once it booted up it was mostly usable. All the apps I tried worked under ART...the device didn't feel particularly fast, but it is rather old and I wasn't expecting miracles. The worst part was boot time; even discounting the hour long initial boot, regular reboots take around 4 minutes to complete. I did some benchmarks on the SD card (a 64GB Samsung Evo microSD), and it seems to be considerably faster (double or more) than the internal memory of the Play, so I don't think making a larger cache partition on the internal memory will help with ART (something I was considering before this test).

Unrelated to ART, I did notice that the wifi doesn't always wake up from sleep. Sometimes it needs a reboot to come back. I haven't noticed any battery problems.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
Thanks for that feedback.. But if ur SD card is double faster than internal and still ART didn't work correctly.. Than what does it depend on.?

Secondly, yes WiFi mostly didn't wake up from sleep for me too.. And battery time was much worse than gb/ics or even jb Roms.

One more thing i noticed.. Even if my laptop is off, if a USB cable connected to it.. It charges my mobile perfectly in gb/ics/jb but not in KitKat.. For KitKat i have to charge by electric charger only.. And only if laptop is on.. It charges the mobile.. But still doesn't power it up.. It can only charge if mobile already has some battery and is on.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Unfortunately I can't work on anything related to battery or charging, the device I have can't be charged normally. If the community donated a device in good condition and nothing broken, we'd be able to work on it more. As I stated in the past, the broken charging is one of the reasons I don't work that much on the play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
Instead of getting a new device to u which can be/maybe is difficult. why don't we the community buy u a External Battery Charger and you can charge ur battery and insert in mobile to use it easily..

something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...417917685&sr=1-8&keywords=xperia+play+battery

maybe we can find an even cheaper alternative.. im looking up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
I already have an external charger, that doesn't help in solving charger issues. I already broke some of the clips of the back cover by swapping batteries all the time, that's what I'm tired of. I'm not asking for a new device, a used one will do (as long as everything works, it's not in terrible condition and it's not a cdma device)

Or maybe you should donate the device to [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] instead of me. He's done a lot of kernel work that helped zeus to reach the current working status. I was going to send him my device, but maybe the community can find him a better one :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Tired_:
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that ART is supposed to better take advantage of the features that modern devices have. I love my Play dearly, but it is simply not a modern device. I think ART is a dead end on Play, which means Kitkat will be the end of the line. I'm not going to investigate ART any further, I'm satisfied.
[Xperia Play Android Development] azkay:
Can't get wifi to work. Clean install, followed the guide with latest nightly (as of last night).

If I hit the wifi "on" switch, it stays on for a minute or so then switches back to "off". While it's "on" no networks show up.

Earlier in the thread I saw a post with the same problem, which was fixed after flashing the kernel again. Tried, didn't change ):

Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] javix1997:
wifi is working now?

and is recomendable use this rom or is better Jellybean?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DocMAX:
this is superb rom. just touchpad and camera not working yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] javix1997:
so how install this rom?

because this forum say "ROM Firmware Required: Latest version of official ICS firmware: 4.1.B.0.587 or the latest supported baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77"

and how i can install this i cant install it using flashtool because says error :confused:

somebody have a tutorial pls?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ch3mn3y:
What error did u get?

Sent using C6833 - AICP/GreatDevs
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bakisha:
1.Transfer zip file of ROM to sdcard. 2.Also, extract boot.img from that zip file and place it somewhere in PC.

3.For Xperia Play, flash any firmware above .62 (.62 , .79 or .84) with flashtool in flash mode.

4.Don't boot, but go to fastboot mode and flash kernel ( boot.img file ).

5.Boot and enter recovery with vol-.

6.Do a factory reset, and "format system"

7.Choose "install zip from sdcard" option, and select zip file of rom

8.reboot

For any future kitkat updates, skip steps 3 and 6

You must have unlocked bootloader (saying it, just in case, if it's not mentioned)

because for me thats its impossible but i dont know if i will kill my phone flashing an ftf of NEO L
[Xperia Play Android Development] ch3mn3y:
U can flash neo l ftf without problems as they have the same hardware except for gamepad and camera.

However u can flash .62 vendor unlocked and than only baseband from this ftf

cant you upgrade the same ROM to cm12.. maybe the Camera doesn't work like now.. but atleast upgrade it to Lollipop.. I don't know how.. lol but just yeah..

just like it was upgraded from 10.2 to 11 :/

[Xperia Play Android Development] rafap:
From what I understand, they use extra 1,7 GB in sd-ext partition(which is the sd card)

They seem to not experience anything wrong about ART yet(I haven't looked through it) so someone should give another shot at ART on our play.

I will try it tomorrow, as I realized my SD card didn't have the sd-ext partition.

On a side note, I would like to have a bug-free CM11 than rush to CM12 IMO.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kedar a.k.a. 3K:
what I meant was that its too early to give up on cm 12 and we can adopt the measures they have taken to run ART , as well as we can ask them for some advices or tips.

my main point here was that we may as well be able to run ART on cm 11 and hence the hope to run 5.0 on our devices is enstrengthened!
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
we are not running cm11 on ART and its working fine .. so cant we do the same with CM12 ? or its compulsory to run cm12 on ART only ..

but someone has to donate a Play to Mike.. or takeover the Project for XPlay from him :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] javix1997:
I install this rom and i cant found in settings the option called disassemble sd card or desactivate sd card

and i cant found depuration usb and overlock

so i where are this options there are locked or something happened? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] HUEguy:
About the sd card option I don't know.. But yes you can do the overclock, there is no option on the ROM I think, but you can download "No Frills CPU Control" app on play store, its free and very simple to use
[Xperia Play Android Development] mikeioannina:
Dalvik is dead on android 5.0, ART is the default runtime now.

I doubt there will be a donated device, the play forums look pretty dead...

Unmount SD card option is missing by my mistake, will be included in next build.

Overclock settings are in performance settings. If you don't know how to enable them, better not mess with them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] javix1997:
thanks for answer i will wait next build :D

and i found how to enable performance options just go to about phone (is the last option in settings) and touch 7 times in "build number" and its all
[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
Mike would you be able to build a test build of cm 12 as per what the Pico device people did wid the Art Partition (mentioned above) .. We know you dont hav a proper XPlay and neither can debug it.. but you are our only hope.. and you got evrything setup and the knowledge to Build a test cm12 for us.. maybe things work out better than we think they would..

Cuz ur right,Xplay forums are really dying.. Revive them plz like you had earlier with cm11 :) .. Build and see and maybe someone might join in with you hopefully :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] the_prodigal_coder:
I'd say fixing the camera should be the first priority... The latest CM build is amazing, except this one bit... CM12 can wait, until (unrelated topic) rovo89 fixes xposed on ART.

[Xperia Play Android Development] saqibkhan:
I also think that's the right thing to do..

we are at a stage of our device where we (or YOU Mike) for that matter dont waste much time on fixing things on older version .. We ( I ) had already given up hope on CM11 as the last working Version on Xplay..

and then this (Above) happened !! :)

https://plus.google.com/photos/+Mic...6096219846813803266&oid=102871871861824394235

when you started cm10.1 10.2 worked better and we skipped that.. and then cm11 direcly.. but now cm12 seems prospective.. so I suggest (I have no say at all.. im at the end of the chain.. ur at the top.. lol ) you build and spend time on the Future.. not the non working past items ..

one things for sure.. Link2SD is going to be a permanent part of XPlay from cm12 onwards so ART cache can fit in Internal Memory and /data on SD Card :) (haha, I believe we will be seeing cm15 also someday) .. the least we Xplay users can do is get a Nice SD Card after all the years of usage :p

WE Love You :)

if touchpad doesn't work then its a xperia and not a xperia PLAY
[Xperia Play Android Development] allandacruz:
Yeah man! I need to agree with you. Touchpads and gamepads ever will be a priority to me, cause this is the XP. If it don't work, doesn't make any sense use the XP nowadays. Just my opinion...
[Xperia Play Android Development] krchi:
I wonder why we dont ever see a phone by oem today that is like xperia play? maybe because its alot of work to get it working...
[Xperia Play Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
What the previous poster said;

Remember that the Xperia Play is a phone, and the devs are just trying to make the rom as stable as possible with all the needed features of a phone, such as data, WiFi+Bluetooth, cellular connectivity, etc. Plus, we can hardly get the touchpads working properly in CM10, with the touchpad lag. And addition to that, the devs are doing this completely out of free will, making no money from spending their own time attempting to give something to the community. The least we can do is be patient and appreciate what they do for us. (Also donations help them a lot as well.)

Please keep this thread to development only. However, I will answer your question with my opinion because I have wondered this for quite a while; it's basically because of the market. Back in 2011 when the Xperia Play was first released, Sony actually started to lose money because of the sales weren't as high as predicted, therefore, showing that the specific market was not that interested. There are other alternatives, though not as convenient as the XPlay, such as the SHIELD, Moga, or just a phone with with any game controller.

I'd prefer that nobody shares lollipop builds yet here on public, until we have at least a functional recovery.
