What would you want in a custom ROM? - Xperia Play General

So, now we have the possibility to have custom ROMs, flasheable with CWM. THere are already two guys who have put effort out there, and maybe they'd want some ideas on what you people would like. What do you consider that should be in your custom ROM of choice?
Myself, I would love a Reboot and Screenshot option in the power off menu.

Maybe a minimalist version of 2.3?

I want the touchpads to be able to contol the system/launcher, like the D-Pad cans.

Great question.
I already have reboot options in the power menu of my ROM. Taking a serious look at the Screenshot option. Not many ROMs appear to have it though, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Landscape mode for the launcher would be awesome. I know you can use a custom launcher, but I really like the one that comes with the phone

there was a guy who edited the HomeAPK and made it 3 screens landscape
you can edit the Home through comp. to make it more

The stock launcher, at least in the last build, does have landscape support

USB OTG would be nice, though that would take some work to do since the stock SE kernel for our play do not support it

1) Auto Brigtness disable
2) Overclock
3) Use the touchpad as a touchscreen emulator (eg swiping on the touchpad is the same as swiping on the screen, great for browsing without touching the screen)
4) Enable the FM radio

+1 for this. The only thing I liked about the Verizon Play is that it's basically running stock gingerbread. Currently, I'm using my custom "hybrid" of r800i rom mixed with r800x launcher/apps. The upside is that I removed all the sony junk and replaced it with stock android apps (dialer, calendar, contacts, etc) while keeping stuff like working touchpad (which failed me in cyanogenmod) and playstation pocket. The downside is that I can't replace the sony lockscreen and statusbar with the stock one. For now, I'm just using widgetlock to emulate it.
If someone can get a working stock gingerbread rom with NOTHING extra (not even hidden SE apps and services), but still have working playstation pocket and touchpads/xperia optimized apps. I will use it.

AndroHero's ROM is certainly in that path.
But really... the stock GB Launcher too? It couldn't be more spartan if it tried...

I took a good run at adding a Screenshot menu item to the power menu but haven't been successful yet. Ends up crashing on boot, unfortunately, so I'm doing something wrong. Not giving up yet though. Decompiling JARs and trying to understand it all is a huge pain in the ass.
I've got reboot options already though along with the ability to overclock and undervolt.
I was looking towards pretty much going as stock Android as possible, but I wasn't sure anyone would want it.

need a 3g and wifi transfer rate in status bar, to make sure all the things running at the background and another app like fpse or psx4droid just for play ,bcz this is xperia play

I can't get reboot in power menu working. Well i can get it to work, but then the power off option reboots the device too

There's also the issue with Recovery just rebooting and not directly starting recovery yet. I'll take a look at what Power off is doing on mine as well.
Power Off seems to work fine for me. Are you maybe running it with the USB cable plugged in?

ROM i want?
Something useful,like a better signal for WIFI,5MPHD (if allowed by its hardware limitations) , however,what i REEALLY want is the 10Finger Touchscreen imporvement blagus is working on on SEtweak

Total Rotation... (hack/app request)

Any devs out there wanna give this a go?
I would love to be able to rotate my phone in any direction and have the screen flip like on my omnia... I know sense doesn't flip to landscape, thats not a prob, what I really want is to be able to flip the phone upside down and still use it as the correct rotation.
Reason I want to be able to do this is so I can use my phone in the cup holder of my car again, and to do this it must be upside down because of the charger placement... (same as on my Omnia)
Seems a pretty simple request, would be nice if it could auto run and run in the background without using up to much resources to.
If anyone is able to do this, would be awesome.
Thanks
Seconded ... but
I too would like to be able to rotate at least the other way; when showing off the Incredible, people rotate to landscape the other way and nothing happens, so they figure it doesn't rotate. I have to say "no turn it the other way" but it would be great to just not have to think about it.
BUT ... regarding the OP ... I simply took a dremel to the dash mount I bought (the beanbag, since California law doesn't allow sticking to the window in the middle). Carved out enough for a charger, and am done with it
I'd also like to see this. Anyone know the reasoning behind only allowing landscape mode by rotating to the left, and not the right? Even my old BB storm could handle rotation in both directions.
Agreed. This would be useful.

I would think it's because the majority of the world is right-handed and by rotating to the left, the optical track button is on the right side. I could complain because I'm left-handed, but hey at least my phone still has a signal when I hold it in my left hand, unlike other phones out there
This is an option in the cyanogen rom available in the rom manager. If you can look past the few bugs in the rom you can enjoy the 360 degree rotation you are looking for.

My phone aint even rooted yet, for some reason I've tried everything and won't allow me to get into adb recovery... anyways, if it's in another rom, it must be possible, if someone could make this an app!! it would be awesome.
Then we wouldn't have limits as to which rom we would have to use.

HTC Apps on CM6

I've had some problems getting HTC apps working in cm6 latest nightly.
I get my apks from DC froyo.
First I tried an easy install which failed.
Then I moved it to the system/app folder and chmod and chowned to make sure the permissions and owners were the same as stock.
Right now the HTC internet browser opens but force closes.
How can I get it working?
Aren't the HTC apps tied to the Sense framework? If so, I don't think it'll be possible to get them working on a non-sense ROM.
I could be completely wrong.

No you are not completely wrong. You are completely correct. Sense is deeply integrated into Android. It's not like there are just some added libraries. The source code that compiles into the framework.jar and framework-res.apk, etc are directly modified by HTC. This means Sense is no mere skin. It is a complete integration into Android. Regardless, without this framework HTC apps will only run on Sense phones. Some can be ported over but it's a difficult process so most likely the apps you want will not be ported over. Out of curiosity though, which apps are you trying to use on CM6?
If you want Sense, go back to Sense.

Use DC.
Can't use HTC apps without Sense. Please check the FAQ in the future.
if you provide the applications you're trying to run, perhaps alternatives can be suggested for you.
I personally like the HTC Tip Calulator widget....
and the HTC Notes....
But you can't use them on adw.
I don't want an app shortcut, I want a widget.
I prefer AOSP thankyou very much.
I just like the option of having some apps that I got used to.
HTC_ime for example. The keyboard.
Even though I use swype.
The camera app which pwns the stock.
Got flashlight and car panel working.
FM radio and weather would be nice too.
There were some nice Widgets but the only one I miss is the clock.
Any porting tips?

4G and FM Radio is not working in CM6 yet.
this is listed in the CM6 OP.
i'm not sure what HTC browser your talking about. perhaps try installing Dolphin HD browser.
last nights CM6 build incorporated a new camera app and deathray (er...Flashlight app w/ widget). just get the nightly build and flash over what you have...i wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' ...you loose no settings.
i use 'MyWeather' but then, i don't care for weather widgets. have you even looked on the android market for this? maybe try browsing from a computer on a site like www.appbrain.com

Thanks for your post, but.
This isn't about anything specific, i simply want to know how to get apps ported, without the java source.
That said, I AM using dolphin, but I prefer the copy-paste that I can only find with HTC sense, I was hoping the browser on stock sense would help.
I've come across that thread, and use Swype without much issue, but having no trackball () makes me wish I had some arrow keys.. Not available in that thread.
Since my OP I have customized ADW and i'm quite pleased with it overall.
Now I just want to be able to use any app I wish. Regardless of alternatives!
Beautiful widgets is good, but has no analog clocks last I checked.
I do use it either way, but again, this isn't about anything specific.
I want to unlock apk's so they work anywhere. Any rom. Not just with HTC apps, but even the touchwiz apps!
Don't care about 4G, and i know that there are bugs being worked out with CM6 but i'm following it closely. On the 8/11 nightly build right now.
Finally, I read too much. I know a lot more than I put on..
Been "playing" with android roms since Dream (especially CM).
The problem which I have won't be solved by simply looking around for a version of the APK that works.
I want to know how they are being ported/unlocked .
If you can help, then thankyou very much!
Otherwise, I don't need your irrelevant tips. (No offense intended)

Help getting rid of the system bar (or modify it)

Alright, first of all, this is an internal device, I will not be using these changes on my own device.
We use tablets (previously Galaxy Tabs) in our office for employees to use an internal application. Our application manages its own navigation, and users do not need to access anything else other than the application. I made it a home screen launcher so it's the first thing that loads. On the Galaxy Tab (Android 2.3), I'm also hijacking all the hardware buttons in the device and I can properly secure the device.
However, on Android 3.0, there are no hardware buttons anymore, and you cannot hide the system bar, I have no way to secure the device if the system bar is always there. I understand why it needs to be there, but this is really killing me.
I have 3 options:
Root the device, try to disable the system bar by editing the framework-res.apk --- Already tried this, unsuccesful since I couldn't find anything in there.
Wait for Android 3.0 to drop in AOSP, build my own custom rom which hides the system bar and do my own modifications on it.
Build Android 2.3 from AOSP for the XOOM -- this will be a lot of work, and I would need help, is anyone interested on helping me with this?
Thanks everyone.

Downgrading to 2.3 might be your best bet, wish 3.0 AOSP would hurry up, want to get somethings working differently as well myself. Let us all know if you downgrade and how it went! Wouldn't mind trying to sneak the shut off animation onto 3.0 if possible.

Yeah, I haven't gotten into it yesterday, but the only thing I'm concerned about running 2.3 on the Tab is the whole issue with Dual-core support, not sure if I would even be able to do it thanks to that, but I'll see. I'm also trying to call a few contacts to see if we can get into some kind of agreement with Moto to try to get the source code early... we'll see...
Have you tried running a different launcher? They allow you to hide system bars on the old android os...might work on 3.0

Yeah, that won't work, the system bar is part of the framework, it's very very low level, you can't hide it since it allows the user to navigate through the device. Before 3.0, devices were required to have hardware buttons, that's not a requirement anymore because of this system bar, it will always always be there.

True, hopefully they release the kernel source soon so I can take a look and see if I can try to make 2.3 work on the XOOM with the same kernel that's working with 3.0.
here is Tegra 2 with many options running various versions of 2.2 and 2.3.
you should reach out to GoJimi over there.

I'm pretty sure atrix is running 2.2.
u can't do anything until source drops. You need baksmali for framework and custom recovery to flash.
I think your best bet would probably be changing the DPI settings somehow (Like they did for the HC build on some phones to get the tablet version) and it would cause you to go into the "phone" version of HC (Doesn't have the system bar) then I would say modify the volume buttons and lock button long presses to recreate the home/back/multitasking buttons if you really want them (such as they have done for the i*hone android ports because ios is dumb and has 1 button). Just a suggestion and honestly I have no idea if this would work.
I'm sure the system bar has a process you can kill with root. I know the status bar can be killed this way on 2.3. Watch logcat and see what you can find. Anyone know more on this?
Porting 2.2 from the g-tab maybe. Similiar hardware I think.

I usually tweak density directly through this file but the code isnt there atm on my xoom.
I tried changing the density yesterday and was disappointed to discover that the LCD density wasn't in the build.prop. adding the line of code didn't work, either.

Looking at the date on my build.prop it hasn't been modified. And just to be sure i looked through the file, nothing in there.
Huh, I wasn't receiving notifications on email even though I'm subscribed for instant notifications...
anways, will try the density trick, but that seems like a pain in the butt to redo all the layouts in our app, but that is a very very clever idea, might work.
Update: Yes it works, but only if you use one of those apps, not when editing the system.prop file, anyone care to share what's exactly being edited here?
Thanks again!
Update 2: Actually, I had a typo on the line I wrote on the build.prop, if you write 'ro.sf.lcd_density=240' (or whatever density you want to use), push it and reboot, it does work as it should.
how are u going to press "home" or "back"?
xoom doenst have physical buttons like phones.
how do u get back to home screen if u downgrade to 2.x?

[Q] Flickering/disappearing launcher

my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...
as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see
It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?
To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader
After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb

AOKP--JB-4.1.2 for gtab (with Rom Control) 12/13/2012

Ok peeps, here is another great rom for you to play with.
For those who dont know what the Android Open Kang Project is:
http://aokp.co/
This rom strives to utilize the best hacks and mods of all roms and put them into one great build.
It was built by me, but it is coded by a wonderful crew of smart people and it performs quite well.
It features many nice addons:
* customized lockscreen with color changing for the text and a nice weather widget plus more
* customize navigation bar, Navbar hiding for NBA JAm and other phone Ui games and apps
* color theming for the navbar, along with the ability to add navbar buttons which you can set to do what you want
Basically, tons of stuff. I recommend flashing and going to settings>Rom Control and just spending about thirty minutes seeing all the things you can do.
On my end, I have tried to remove what we dont need for some extra RAM. I changed up the teamdrh device overlays to suit this ROM. modified build.prop for gameloft compatibility, applied Nobe's fixes for hdmi audio and gaming audio. Various other things to get it working well.......
This is still a work in progress!!!!
Many thanks to teamdrh for the "OEM device support"
Many thanks to Fosser for his kernel
Many thanks to the AOKP crew for such a great ROM
****INSTALL INFO*******
1. Use teamdrh nvflash for Jellybean - the 350meg prep
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. connect to PC, copy rom, and Flash away
ENJOY!
Known Issues:
Stock launcher has shortcut issues, YOU WILL NEED A DIFFERENT ONE. I left it alone so you guys could just use what you want. I recommend Nova Launcher, this is the one AOKP uses on official builds, but again, I left it alone so you could decide, but you will not be disappointed with Nova.
AOKP has their own wallpapaers, the app would not retrieve them though, still looking into this
Internal Camera, of course, NOT YET!
Others? please....you tell me. I dont have a dock, and I dont do many of the things that others do, so there may be issues that I have not yet uncovered. I dont care about logcats or whatever, just post what dont work if you find something. THANKS!
YOU MUST GO THANK ANY MEMBER OF THE AOKP CREW, AS WELL AS TEAMDRH. THEY MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

Congratulations
Super to have your great support. Despite I'am not AOKP fan,but for sure I will test it during the weekend.
Any screen shots?
Guys I am currently testing this Bad A$$ build and will let you know how it goes. Had to change somethings so that I can run it on my current 250m system, no hardware stuff just bloated phone crap. I will post some Screenies for you later. TY

Yeah I tested this for a couple of days, and threw it up for you guys to play with it. Im sure it has bugs that I didnt find, but I have been knee deep in trying to get 4.2 to boot and I dont have this rom loaded, but I will reload when I get a chance and throw some screenshots up for you.
I will say, though, this is the most user customizeable rom yet.

Swagpaper.apk doesn't work because there isn't any paper in it and also it might not match the SystemUI or Framework-res to open up. Going to pull some apktool skills on this and see what I can come up with.

Hi! Thanks for the rom !
I was testing. I can't overclock. With Settings or System Tuner I can't change the frequency over 1Ghz... The slider won't go across 1ghz. Weird
My fault, just needed to make the gesture right. Running on 1.2 ghz!

You could also try tjohnson's boot.img, then overclock in the rom to 1.5. If it works go hit his thanks button though.
can someone show me how to post screenshots???
Just take pictures (screenshots). And, upload via xda app or tapatalk.

Upload them to drop box in your public folder. Copy the link and instead of add link in the advance you are going to add image. You have to use drop box and not dev host. It doesn't work right for some reason.

I am testing this right now. That way: the boot.img from Tjohnson's inside that zip (this aokp) and flashed... With antutu, there is more score on tjohnson's rom (I could get 8K). I have tryed Nobe's rom. Didn't boot. Even the boot animation won't showed.
Well, I am addicted on benchmark...
Sorry for my bad english!
The navigation buttons are so spread out. Is there any way to get them closer together on the lower left corner?

Yes....in settings,rom control,navbar. You can have 7 buttons, spread them out, squeeze together, change colors,etc.

Okay, I've found how to add more buttons, which does squeeze them together. However, I only want three buttons (back, home, recent apps) and squeezed together on the lower left. Is there a way to do that? If I make the other buttons empty, there are still icons showing that there are buttons there, just that pressing them won't do anything.
All settings for this are in settings>ROM control>navigation bar
At the bottom where it says "combined bar width port" or "land" you move slider left or right and the buttons will move, you most likely want 5 percent, do both but "land" is landscape. If you just want three buttons then just choose 3 under "Nav button quantity". And if you want more, up to 7 then in the settings just underneath the quantity you must choose what the buttons do for a short press and a long press if you want. You can change the icons too.
I'm actually liking this ROM the most so far out of the Jelly Bean ROMs. It's pretty lean. It performs well. There are a lot of options. And every app I've tried on it has worked.
Here is something weird. I flashed this ROM on my wife's tablet and everything works with it. So I decided to flash it on my tablet and some apps, like Dictionary.com, aren't compatible. Any ideas why this would be?
