[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmag:
Cool man. That's great that you can ressurect your Xperia Play and enjoy using it again. I'm having a blast with using emulators. My friend recently introduced me to Quake and I've been playing it a lot lately. (If you have any interest in Quake, I just started a thread in the Theme and Apps section with instructions on how to get it running on the Xperia Play using the FTEDroid port and Gamekeyboard+, which allows you play it with the phone's hard key controllers). :).

Anyway... I also had trouble using the Xparts app to install CWM. I found another thread that provides a command script to install it, and it's worked perfectly for me every time.

Here are some instructions that I typed up a while back when I was helping my friend root his R800x... The credit for this should go to the original poster in the thread and to all of the people who helped develop the CWM :).

--------------------------------------------

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CWM

**I believe that around 2 MB of Internal Storage is needed to install this CWM version on the Xperia Play

1. Go to this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390771 ) to find and download the file "CWM-Install.rar"

2. Unzip the contents of the downloaded package into a file folder where you can find it later

3. Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone and plug your rooted R800x into the computer via USB cable

3. Navigate to the folder on your computer where you unzipped the .rar file. (Per the above thread's instructions,

you need to run the command script for "install-cwm1.cmd."

You can do this by locating that file and double clicking on it. This should start a command terminal window to install CWM...just follow the prompts in the command terminal and you should have CWM installed on your phone :)

**In order to boot into the CWM Recovery on the Stock Kernel, you need to press the phone's Power Button and then repeatedly tap the Volume Down button as it boots up. Once you are in the CWM recovery, use the Volume keys to navigate up and down, the Home key to select, the Back key to return to the previous menu.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Worked 100%! I owe you big time! I am now running Super Jellybean 8.0 along with Turbo Kernel and honestly the performance on this rom alone is "godly!" I first tried Racing Speed rom but reading on the features of Super JellyBean made me want to try it out. Although the touchpad support breaks (no more Mario 64...) its overall performance makes up for the loss. Either way i do use the buttons more anyways on ps1 and snes games.

I now feel like the Xperia Play "caught up" with my other devices, it was the only Gingerbread device i have touched in a year.

I would love to see the KitKat rom thats currently a work in progress someday work completely.

Since KK was said to be able to run on 512mb ram, i think it would further improve this device's potential.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmag:
That's good to hear you're rooted and unlocked and glad I could help. I know that I found it frustrating when I was trying to figure out how to root and unlock the bootloader for our Verizon version of this phone. I kept reading that you couldn't root it on build 2.3.4, but finally stumbled onto Eroot. It seems there's not a lot of Verizon R800x users in the Xperia Play threads... so we got to stick together, lol.

:thumbup: :)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyptho:
Hi,

My phone is rooted, dual recovery is installed and I made a backup of TA.

I am presently on rom Existenz 2.0 and using xposed modules.

Can I safely unlock my bootloader or should I restore to my originale FW (.314) before unlocking?

thank you
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
you can safely unlock your bootloader on existenz because existenz is a stock based rom
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyptho:
Good, thank you :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
When you unlock the bootloader it wipes your phone. You will lose all data on internal storage and in the data partition.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyptho:
I'm not sure to understand. Will I lose my current Rom, root, recovery and need to reinstall them? Or phone will reboot as normal after unlocking and I will just need to put back music, documents, nandroid backup ,etc...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It does not touch the system partition, only data partition and internal storage.

Once you have unlocked the boot it is extremely easy to root. Just flash a custom stock based kernel with ro.secure=0 (If any exist) then apply chainfires superSU

The stock based custom kernels will probably have recovery already incorporated as well.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyptho:
After unlocking, could i just put back a nandroidbackup of my present setup(existenz2.0) in my internal storage, do a restore(via dual recovery) and have back my data and my root?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You wont lose root by unlocking the boot anyway as it does not touch the system partition, only data and internal storage.

However, if you are not planning on flashing a custom kernel are you sure you really want to unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyptho:
Yes. I am proceding slowly and gathering the info before jumping on the flashing bandwagon. I'm trying to be a prepared noob :D

I was used to flash on my galaxy s II, and now i'm ajusting to my new phone. I maybe wont flash aosp custom rom this week, but I know I will and want to be prepare :D

In previous version of chrome i was having this kinda problems with tab switching interface. But now its a little more important. It appears while scrolling. here is an image : https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6ucw6mhx7mcx9c/Screenshot_2014-09-05-13-30-04.png?dl=0
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firifire:
I have also noticed this. Apparently its the problem with chrome it self, try downgrading to an older version if you want to fix it. I currently use v26 cause it can play video much better and the new version happen give this 'media not error found or not compatible' apparently the problem is there for all browsers using HTML5 and also not to miss the new features of google chrome i keep the beta app instead

This looks like the problem I have with multi line edit boxes:

when writing tekst in an edit box, it seems to work, but as soon as the end of line has been reached, the content looks scrambled.

I hope Google will repair this asap, because it's very annoying! - for now I would like to revert
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] S2 user:
This is regarding a recently bought tablet Note 8. The current usage of /system partition is at above 75%. I have been trying to wipe/delete all system data in an attempt to have a 'fresh' OS once I install new stock ROM. In CWM recovery, I have even tried to format system partition (in addition to normal data reset, cache wipe and delvek cache wipe).

I installed the new stock ROM 4.4.2 in Download mode. Afterwards I checked and my system partition was still above 75% full. I do understand that system partition is normally read only. I am trying to work out if there is there any way where I can flash the stock ROM whilst completely removing the current system files.

Please offer any guidance or advice regarding this matter. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
Possible? Yes. Necessary? No.

The installation script for a ROM will almost always format the system partition before setting it up with the new ROM files, unless the developer is doing some special testing and you would know if that is the case.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] S2 user:
Yes I think most custom ROMs would wipe system partition too. Though I want to install the stock ROM of Android 4.4.2. I have flashed the ROM about four times now, everytime trying different settings such as wipe/format system drive.

But I always end up with /system drive same size as before. :(

Thanks for the reply ramjet73. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
Depending on how you flash the stock ROM, Odin will flash a .img file to the system partition and completely replace its contents or an updater-script in a stock ROM zip file will format it and then copy all the included /system files to the empty partition.

In either case you cannot control what goes into the initial configuration of the system partition, only delete things that you don't need after it is flashed, unless you flash from a stock ROM zip file and delete items from that before you flash it.

There are scripting tools that can help with ROM "slimming" but I don't know if any are available for the Note 8.0 or not.

[MX Player] hani676:
Hi,

I absolutely love this player, I find when I'm streaming 720/1080p video over WIFI, that it'll play great for a bit and then get all jittery/sluggish. I determined this is related to the buffering because if I then hit pause, wait for 10-15 seconds and play again, it'll be perfect again until it catches up with the buffer again. Is there anyway to increase or double whatever it is buffering to makes these hiccups less? Even if I had to behind the scenes and modify a config/text file somewhere, I'd be glad to do it if told how. I'd be just fine pausing a movie and waiting for it to get enough ahead of itself but MX Player only seems to buffer a limited amount and stop? Any feedback to improve this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Network playback buffering is a known issue, and has been for a while now. It's something that the developer is working on.

In fact, it's the first item on the Feature Requests and Bugs list: http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297
[MX Player] sungkhum:
Update

It's been a known issue for over four years now - will there be an update? Or does anyone know of a player that can buffer network streams?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Networking playback performance will be improved in the major update v1.8
[MX Player] whise1:
Can you provide a feedback on the 1.8 release date?

I really need this... I can't play any videos because my internet sucks and the player only buffers a maximum of ~30 seconds of video. Even if i pause the video and try to watch it 3 hours latter it wont work...

Thanks
[MX Player] josuearisty:
Yes, this is the most anoying issue for me. When watching some youtube videos the app doesnt save the videos in cache.

[LG Optimus G Pro] christcb:
I recently did a factory reset on a rooted G Pro but now the power button will not wake the phone. Everything else works fine and the home button works when the phone is already awake but will not wake the phone. This is still the stock ROM with nothing but root done to it. I can't anything about this exact problem and the threads I have found that were close to the same problem didn't shed any light on it. Can anyone please help?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:

A while ago Dopod published a new ROM for HTC Excalibur:

Enjoy! ;)
[HTC Excalibur] bkeaver:
does this also work for the Dash or is it a s620 ROM only
[HTC Excalibur] sting0r:
I am wondering if this works on the dash or do I need to unlock it? Also, I am hoping this will work with BB Connect since it was released by Dopod just a week ago...
[HTC Excalibur] pvenkat:
OK.

I am doing it now and I am flashing my DASH with the Dopod ROM. I was holding off on flashing with the test rom before and I didn't do the SPL bootloader upgrade. I'll confirm if it works with BBConnect.

EDIT: Looks like it doesn't work with TMobile DASH...It returned invalid model ID error. I am going to try and upgrade the bootloader first and see.
[HTC Excalibur] pvenkat:
It didn't work for me. It looks like my dash needs to be cid unlocked first. I tried to do the bootloader upgrade and it didn't work for me. My unit just sim unlocked. How do I go about unlocking the cid as well?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] bkeaver:
if you figure out how to CID unlock yours let me know..
[HTC Excalibur] leoiden:
if only spv developers would consider updating there spv services so that it cid unlocks the dash would be nice,?
[HTC Excalibur] leoiden:
MAN you are awesome bro!

BUT just one question how come you have not been able to get your hands on the tmobile dash rom just asking do not take it the wrong way please?????
[HTC Excalibur] DaveD1978:
does this rom only supports USA or also other languages?
[HTC Excalibur] fire00:
what's new in that ROM guys?
[HTC Excalibur] DanITman:
IMEI-CHECK will CID unlock it for $38 until someone writes a free app to do it.
[HTC Excalibur] leoiden:
38 bucks its too much money ! rather dante to spv developers and have them update the spv services to be capable to cid unlock the dash!
[HTC Excalibur] abendx:
is there a change log for this ROM??
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Hmmm.. I get an error [294] invalid Vendor Error. Weird Cuz i can Flash the HTC Excalibur test roms with no problem..

Here's the explanation of the error from the rom Readme file:

ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE

ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID

ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.
[HTC Excalibur] ExTREmE99:
So whats the difference in this rom and the test rom? How is it running any bugs? and the improvement
[HTC Excalibur] sting0r:
Does anyone know who wrote the program for the old XDAs and the Wizard? Perhaps they can update it relatively easily to work on the Excalibur. Is there any other way to fool the program into thinking this is the right device and force the upgrade????
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Whattup dude! As soon as i can get this rom installed i can post any changes..
[HTC Excalibur] Troy McClure:
I have an unlocked Dash and no go for me. Mine is CID unlocked via the $38 method as well as it is currently flashed with the previous excalibur rom.
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
I have an HTC Excalibur and i still can't flash this rom. I think the ROM is CID locked thats why..
[HTC Excalibur] drunknmunkie:
I have an unocked DASH and was able to load up the dopod rom. first you have to load up the boot loader rom thats and the ftp here, then loadup the dopod rom. I've had my dash unlock since day one from imei-check.

it loaded up just fine. the big difference i've noticed is that now when I hold down a key the alternate keys charater appears like in the tmobile rom. The font is a little bit bigger, which don't mind at all. I'm using the dash on cungular currently. i've noticed my call clarity is a bit better and the recption is better.

later,

DMunkie
[HTC Excalibur] drunknmunkie:
Basically it's the best parts of the tomobile rom merged with the htc rom. The version numbers are higher as well.

peace,

[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Hmm, My Phone Is an Original HTC S620 from the factory and I was able to load 2 Test roms without a bootloader downgrade and it worked fine. But this new Dopod rom isn't loading at all..
[HTC Excalibur] drunknmunkie:
probably bacause the htcs620 are not cid unlocked. that's just my guess.
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Ok I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my phone that was messed up so I reflashed An HTC Shipped ROM from the FTP site and it works great.. Then when I tried to flash the Dopod ROM it fails at 4% with an Invalid Vendor Error.. =( now i have to pay for CID unlocking huh..
[HTC Excalibur] ExTREmE99:
So basically its just like the T-mobile rom just unbranded? it has all the update features?
[HTC Excalibur] Troy McClure:
Thanks for the heads up DMunkie, I did the bootloader thing and then the dopod rom loaded fine. I've got to do some playing around to see the differences but as it's booting right now I see I have a new startup logo. No biggie, at least it is not as long as the T-mobile one.

hey Baomobile i second that request i am also interested in cid unlocking my dash?
[HTC Excalibur] ExTREmE99:
Uhh, I dont think he unlocks for HTC but he does for other phones, Hows the improvments for the new rom?
[HTC Excalibur] leoiden:
corrrect me please fellow members???? to downgrade the bootloader on my dash does it have to be cid unlocked??
[HTC Excalibur] ID64:
ROM seems to be fast and stable. Font name and size is different, looks the one that is on Samsung i320. It looks horrible without cleartype enabled. But I can enable it with Tweaks2K2 or registry change. The problem with this font that some custom today themes doesn't show properly.

I think speakerphone works better now. Cleaner with better frequency response.
[HTC Excalibur] ID64:
Reverted back to original HTC. Can't stand this ugly font :)
[HTC Excalibur] Troy McClure:
Font bothered me at first but I can live with it, I installed my favorite theme (Philly Eagles) so besides the top and bottom of the screen, all looks good.

The hold for alternate character is nice to have back. Someone do me a favor and tell me what your current rom does when you press alt+space when in a text edit mode. This new ROM has keytouch by keytouch.net. Excuse my ignorance but I've never seen this on the last rom or the T-mobile rom, is this the software that makes the alt character work? If it is then maybe it can be esily added regardless of your rom?

Keytouch also lets you copy and paste which is nice, once again, I am not sure if previous roms had this.

Thanks,

Troy
[HTC Excalibur] djdanska:
I can't even enable cleartype either. I cannot edit the registry.
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Ok as far as this rom goes: I have it installed on my S620 and it's pretty responsive. I like that all the screens are skinned blue instead of the green HTC theme.. Holdng down the keys to have it change to another character is good.. As for the bad.. I get a network error every time the Phone reboots, The fonts are too big.. (It makes the phone look cheap) The character map of the keyboard is not the same. ( i go to press ! and its &) I seem to not be able to edit the registry with Total Commander, I can't Initiate OMAP overclocking, uugghh.. theres more but i'm tired.. i think imma switch back to the old rom if i dont get this done by tonight..
[HTC Excalibur] jcjdoss:
Can somebody give us some screenshots
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Everyone I know including myself Reflashed back to the HTC Rom Right away. This ROM Needs some work..
[HTC Excalibur] Troy McClure:
I too flashed back, I could not get use to the font after-all and I did not like the fact that it asked me about my network connections when powering it on every time.

I did like the keytouch.net stuff though, I have to find a way to get that portion into my current rom.

Troy
[HTC Excalibur] ID64:
Now, if I can only flash radio from it :)
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
I too want the Keytoch.net software, but i did notice the it Worked great with the letters but when i needed to enter symbols there was a few that didn't map correctly according to the keyboard layout. Also did anyone have sucess in editing the registry?

What languages does this rom support?

If I remember It supports English and Chinese. This ROM is a Singapore Release and For Some reason I Couldn't connect to my Cingular Network and was getting Network errors Due to Singapore's Copyright Laws on the ROM.. Weird..
[HTC Excalibur] mingkee:
which Chinese Language will be used?

there're 2 types: Traditional (CHT) and Simplified (CHS)
