Awesome! Well Since its my first time rooting and flashing a new rom on my phone it went succesful so Ill tell you everything I did.

Its a long process so bare with me:

1st. ViperROM Synergy 5.0 is out which you can download here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999894

2nd use this video as guide for extra help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiQ1uOVTZBs

3. use this to flash your phone to EB13 which will make it stock and serve as a base http://www.multiupload.com/69YUW73XFB. When your phone reboots DO NOT install the system update.

4. next root your phone using CWN: this video will help link to root program is in video description: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW-PL7-T7_c

5. download Rom manager from the market, launch the program and tap on flash clockwork mod recovery and pick your phone.

6. Download ViperROM synergy 5.0 and place it in root folder of SD.

7.Now power off phone, now holding down the camera button, volume down, and THEN power button hold them all and keep held until the First Samsung boot screen appears which is just text.

8. clockwork should boot up now with green text. Find the option to install ROM from SD card, the OK/Select button is your camera button.

9. Find the name of the Viper ROM file and select OK using camera button, and it ok again when it asks you are you sure.

10. you should get the Viper ROM animation or design while its installing.Once its down it will allow you to reboot.

11. REboot and BE PATIENT it will stay at the "Honeycomb" or "Bee" screen for possbily 10 minutes! Its just putting all the system files together for the first time.

12. Viola you have Viper ROM.

I tried my first conference call with my ATRIX last night, and when one of the two people disconnected it ended my entire call. Has anyone else had this happen to them? None of my other phones have ever done this to me, wondering if that was an anomaly to me or not?
[Atrix 4G General] The Bishop:
has anyone else seen this issue or tried it? As in, you have a 3 way call going, one person hangs up and it ends the call for the other two remaining even if you're the one that started the conference call?
[EVO 4G General] Razgriz:
It looks like they're starting to flip the switch on 4G here in OKC.
[EVO 4G General] KommodoreHeinz:
Awesome, same things happening here in Tulsa too. I was starting to think they forgot about us in Oklahoma.
[EVO 4G General] WarhawkXeroFire:
Some areas here in Lawton are covered, but the college is about 2 blocks from any coverage... Seems that the areas in Lawton that are covered have no one in the area that can use it... lol. It has expanded recently though, it wasn't anywhere west of I-44, but now its even up to Cache & Sheridan intersection. I heard from a source that we are expected for 4G around spring, and so far, he has been right.
[EVO 4G General] fldash:
I was driving by the fairgrounds in OKC today and flipped on WiMAX for the hell of it like I occassionally do and it connected. I only stayed connected about 30s or so, but I was streaming music and I switched to Slacker and it was downloading... I got disconnected and was never able to get back on... Is this normal?

I'm running CM7. In advanced under WiMAX it shows Signal Strength (Simple) as Excellent.
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
Hey guys,

As a software developer myself I feel a bit embarrassed that I need to ask this, but I really can't think of the answer myself. Here goes:

Why do we always need the latest sources from Samsung to be able to build an AOSP rom?

The way I see it, unless the kernel's internal APIs that Samsung's device drivers use have changed dramatically between, say, Froyo and Gingerbread, wouldn't it be possible to simply check out AOSP, paste the driver source files from Froyo into the appropriate folder in the kernel tree, and compile? Even if the kernel's internal APIs have changed a bit, they would be minor and well documented changes, so it should only be a moderately difficult task to fix the Froyo sources to work with Gingerbread. Sure, the drivers would still be "Froyo quality," but they seem to work pretty well to me. I'd be happy with a Gingerbread AOSP build w/ Froyo drivers.

It's kind of like what VMWare's tools do in a Linux guest OS - if you update your distro's kernel, the ABI is broken and you just recompile the modules. Same VMWare source code, different kernel, but it works.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
So I decided that I am going to attempt to create a cm7 theme. I'm actually planning on taking a theme and modifying it. I wanna take the honeybread theme and change the color back to the original gingerbread green. I like the stock green color but I love everything else from the honeybread. I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction on where to start. I tried searching but I could not find anything. Thanks guys
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Search for theimpaler747's theming guide. He is our Moderator for the Nexus S. The link should be in his signature. That's all the information you'll need to make your theme.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
theimpaler747's theming guide

There is the link. Its really a fantastic guide, let me know if you need anything tested =)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
You, sir, are a good man. Thank you very much. Its about time i learn to do something for some of the users.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
You're welcome. If you have any theme related questions, you can post on the Theming discussion Sticky :).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
Thank you for the link. If i can get this going then you can help test. It's my first time attempting to make a theme, it should be easy its just changing the color so hopefully it won't be too hard.
[Xperia Play General] azian_advanced:
so i have a paid version of psx4droid v2 on the x10 and it lags on most psx games. i want to know if the lag is mainly related to the CPU or the GPU?

it looks like the Xperia Play is going to be exclusively offered in Canada first and i will try to get my hands on one on launch day but would like to know how much psx emulation will be improved with the Xperia Play compared to the X10.

i'm a die hard SE fan but with the atrix and galaxy s II offering dual-core 1GHz and larger batteries, it will be difficult to stay loyal. i want my next phone to be able to play psx without lag since that is the most resource-intensive thing i do on the phone and was wondering if the Play will be up to the task with its newer CPU (Qualcomm 8255 vs 8250) and its newer GPU (Adreno 205 vs 200).

i need your input please.
[Xperia Play General] alankstiyo:
good question I think cause it's android and cause it's gaming oriented maybe it won't lag but there's just a chance that xperia play has it's own games this means games created to use it's processor, ram, etc

not sure if psxdroid won't lag
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
Try FPse... It's a much better playstation emulator, it doesn't lag at all for me!
[Xperia Play General] pcfanboy142:
Also, try messing with the settings, some games require you to change the framerate and such, i found out some games ran alot smoother. Otherwise, like fiscidtox said, FPse.
[Xperia Play General] kontur:
Isn't FPse for android 2.2 + ?
[Xperia Play General] dandes00:
yes.. it is
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
I'm on freex10 beta 4 and it works flawlessly.. FPse is the best emulator on android imo
[Xperia Play General] bra1n0uk:
Thank you very much. I been on psx4droid i never realised about FPse, runs alot faster.
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
No problem :)

Yeah it is definitely much better.. Psx4droid was very laggy and glitchy, I never have any issues with FPse. It is worth every penny.
[Xperia Play General] azian_advanced:
that explains why i couldn't find it on the market.. :rolleyes:

guess i'll have to switch to 2.2+ as i'm still using the stock 2.1. but that makes me feel confident that i won't need a dual-core CPU to run PSX games, i just need a better emulator (FPseCe).

before I do the rom upgrade, can anyone tell me if the emulator features custom hardware button mapping? i have a datel bluetooth wireless gamepad that works off the WiimoteControl software as i can't stand playing using the on-screen controls. will i be able to use it with FPseCe?
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
yep you can do that!
[Xperia Play General] azian_advanced:
thanks. i have another question to add: i still haven't made the update yet to see for myself but with psx4droid, it only reads directional buttons (up, down, left, right) but doesn't read diagonal movements making action games very hard to play (most of the psx roms i have are all action). i use my datel bluetooth controller on my sony vaio using a psx emulator and it reads diagonal movements fine so i know the controller is not the problem.

i want to know if anyone has tried a bluetooth game controller with FPseCe and if diagonal movements work fine. if it doesn't, the problem can either be related to the wiimote controller plug-in software or in the FPseCe emulator itself. the reason i ask this is because if it doesn't work, then there's a chance the xperia play's diagonal actions on the directional buttons won't work either. this is the last criteria on my list on whether the xperia play will be my next phone. otherwise, there's no point in getting the phone because i find playing psx games much more fun than android-based games.. and that i might as well go for the Arc instead for the premium hawtness and larger lcd.

on a random side note, i've just realized the trend in how long i have been keeping my phones before going out to buy a new one... t68i (3 years), s700i (2.5 years), p1i (2 years), x1a (1.5 years), x10a (8 months and counting)......... i'm planning to get the Play or Arc in 2 months but i wonder how long that will last me until i decide to upgrade again.... 6 months?
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
Yes I'm using a wiimote and diagonal works perfectly... Trust me it is a much better emulator. There is nothing psx4droid can do that this can't.

On another note, play or arc are both ridiculous in my mind.. Technology that is already dated and, as you said, will require upgrade in a few months..I'd save your money and keep x10...
[Xperia Play General] azian_advanced:
the reason i want to switch phones is because my battery is not holding a charge and lasts about half the day with little use. also, all the batteries on ebay are all garbage and a legit bst-41 battery is almost $100 total (last time i checked).

the reason i bought the x10 was because the battery in my x1a wouldn't hold a charge to last for more than 4 hours on standby only. at the time i got my x10 for $420 from someone who upgraded his wife's phone who didn't need it. at that price, it came with a new battery making the phone itself cost only about $320.

so rather than buying a new battery, why not upgrade to another phone that has the same battery (bst-41)? the way i see it, i will be getting a discount on the xperia play since it includes a new battery already that comes included with the price.

i totally agree with it not having any real significant hardware advantage over the x10 but the fact that it comes with game controls built-in is what is winning me over. i predict the next time SE will be coming out with another flagship android smartphone won't be for another year and i don't think i'll be able to hold on to my x10 for that long. i'm not a fan of other brands as they all put soft-touch buttons at the bottom and most of them also don't make phones that have the same sort of quality feel and design as SE.
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
I really don't find SE makes that quality of a feeling phone.. It is very plastic and feels like it would break easily. Plus the screen is pretty flimsy...

I love my x10, but I never got how people say that the build quality of x10 is spectacular.
[Xperia Play General] mrljlamon:
true. its much better.

and then hook up a wii controller to ur bluetooth and ur having so much fun !
[Xperia Play General] gaolinde:
I tried fpse it's smooth indeed, but i can't save game any spot i want, i can't assign hardware key, the onscreen keyboard of landscape is crap, or am I missed something?
[Xperia Play General] fiscidtox:
You can assign hardware keys, just go to input in settings. As for saving I'm not sure I haven't yet but I'm sure you can
[Xperia Play General] gaolinde:
read the user manual now got all those function work but still a major problem.

playing ff7 the character is always moving against my will, did you guys experience something like this?
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
My nexus one pays most emulated games well. N64 games are really not paying well though. Hoping that although xperia play is the same cpu, the better graphics card will help.
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
actually its not the same CPU, the nexus 1 uses the first generation snapdragon processor while the play/arc/neo use the second generation snapdragon, same as the desire HD/G2/Desire Z
[Xperia Play General] CM-PRo:
Xperia Play rox!! Hope to get some good games working on it soon!
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
In a dutch preview you can see them playing sm64 quite smooth.

Only thing is that the analog pads aren't supported by the emu yet.
[Xperia Play General] :
Didn't realize but I must admit I had similar perforance with a desire Z I have tested but it would explain the jump in perforance in benchmarks though.
[Xperia Play General] yohandesilva1:
I use this Thread a Lot Thanking all for the great info..

as the list states Crash Bandicoot racing works but mine doesn't its stuck on PlayStation Screen (1st screen) I haven't changed any settings can some one suggest anything?

And wot works the best PAL or NTSC?
[Xperia Play General] averma:
Xperia Arc

I have an Xperia Arc (same spec as the play) and wanted to post my Xperiences

PSX with FPSE

These are the tweaks i did to the settings:

1. turn SPU sync on in audio settings

2. turn HLE off in System settings

3. loading a 3rd party game pad for significantly better touch controls in the Input > touchscreen > overlay pad settings. I would HIGHLY reccomend doing this if you are planning to use on screen controls at any point

(i'm using this one http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2065 )

4. Save the chagnes by going into System > Default config Save

Everything works great and I have virtually no slowdown and zero dropped frames. Savestates work properly and you can map hardware keys. Games tested so far

FF7 - played about 30 min runs perfect with full sound

MGS - Finished the entire first disc on my phone - took like 7+ hours !! (awesome game) now just have to figure out how to swap discs. Absoltely no dropped frames, full sound only one minor glitch where the snow in cut scenes will occasionally get a little funny looking but doesn't happen during game play and doesnt' get in the way of enjoying the game.

Marvel vs Capcom - perfect with full sound

Castlevania Symphony of the night - Perfect full sound

Resident Evil 3 - perfect full sound

Spiderman - Graphical glitch that cuts off tops of buildings - otherwise perfect with full sound

Other Emulators

Super nintendo is perfect with sound - same story with GBA, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo.

N64 is the only one that suffers slow downs and that is because it is lacking optimizaiton not so much because of the chipset.

Zelda Ocarnia of time is playable but occasional slow down

Majora's mask is playable but occasional slow down

Golden eye is almost unplayable

Mario64 runs perfect but has a glitch were you can't see the stars on doors (its a problem with the emulator on gingerbread)

Starfox is perfect with some slowdown on the level select screen.

Anyone on the fence about getting the Play or Arc because it isn't a dual core - IMO it makes no diff. For gaming the only system that doesn't run properly is N64 it doesn't exaclty have the most compelling game lineup anyways (rumor is the developer was working on an update that would make it a lot faster).
[Xperia Play General] gotoman00:
i've been using fpse with the play, and i seem to only have one problem... when mapping out the keys, if you try to map to the O button on the play (which is the same as the back key) it just takes you out off the app, you can't seem to set O to O... any help here?
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Use the touchscreen to select the mapping and then press the O button.
[Xperia Play General] -josh-:
Whats the name of n64 emulator I couldnt find it last time I tried and even tho im hearing bad things I would still like to give it a go. I really want to play golden eye desperately
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Its called N64oid its not available on android market but you can get it here http://slideme.org/application/n64oid
[Xperia Play General] gotoman00:
you can't, when you select circle and it says !Press a key!, if you press the circle on the play pad it takes you back to the last screen because the default mapping for circle is the back button
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
It works for me.

I press on the screen the button I want to use for O (which is obviously the O) and press the O button and it maps perfectly.

If you are sure it doesn't work for you, get a program off the market to reassign hardware keys to phone actions. Then you can reassign O to not back.

Not sure what a program like this is called but I know they exist.
[Xperia Play General] neato4u:
which GPU plugin to use?

Try using different FPSE version. Other Xplay users never had this issue before (me neither)..

Guys.. which GPU plugin do you use for the Xplay? I use libopenglplugin.so and run FF9.. graphics are great but my framerate drops between 30-40fps which is half the speed...

This is with framelimiter, no frameskip.

With the default I easily sustain 60fps but very pixelated graphics..:confused:

I recently had this hilarious long text and i want to share screen it over facebook to share. I don't know how to turn a string of texts into a word document that is exportable or at least copy and paste able. How should I tackle this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z General] thepaddedroom:
You could install a notepad app on your phone and hop between the Handcent and the notepad copy and pasting one text at a time. Save the notepad as a .txt file and push that to your PC. Open with an office suite and edit from there.

If you'd been using Google Voice, you could have logged in and simply copied the whole exchange.

Sorry, but the slow bit by bit method is all I can think of right now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Thanks for the input. I've thought of that too, brute forcing it, but I rather I export this big long thing as a whole rather than ctrl c ctrl v-ing every single entry...
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
Not sure how long it is, but normally I just forward it, and instead of sending it out, I cut all the txt and paste it into a new msg. Then back out of that msg, handcent will save as draft. Repeat the steps of forwarding and cutting the txt and continue pasting it into the draft msg. Once u got all msges, u can cut that and paste it into other apps or email it to yourself if you want it on the computer...ect.

Will that work for what you want?
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Let's just say I have over 100 entries in the thread I want to put up onto facebook...

I don't know how I can cut ALL the entries at once,...
[G2 and Desire Z General] thepaddedroom:
Another idea:

There are several SMS backup apps in the market that promise to back up to Gmail. Maybe you could backup the thread via one of those apps and copy the whole thread from your Gmail account.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
hmm. for something that large, idk. Someone would have to create a specific app or something.

Closest i got was using SMS Backup, which turned my texts into an XML file.

Opening that in excel 2007 allowed me to filter by a certain number, and than copy and paste the msgs to a word doc.

Thats the only quick option I could find....sry :(
