Should I make A ROM? [GSM] - Xperia Play General

Hey all,
I wondered I am beggining to get bored of those Stock based ROM's out there
I have A R800i Locked bootloader and no money .
So This is a Disscussion on weather to make a ROM for GSM as well as this I will Implement some Tweaks ,
If I do release one here are the requirements:
CWM 5 (ClockworkMod Recovery)
Stock 2.3.4 No Tweaked Firmware Official FW!
Please Post If I should I can start tonight UK time :0

Definitely make one!
we're not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to this phone and room choice

Please do, there is a need.
Mod it for speed and space if possible. We need a minimalist rom for gsm locked bootloaders like that cola one for cdmi

Theme it ICS, Remove all bloatware.

Ok Guys I understand Cola is good But I will Use ADW launcher for speed and etc Currently I am Developing It I will Post Some Screenshots,
This is in Beta so Everything is working Calls Etc.
Do you have root both of you?

Ok You guys Have anymore requests E.g Mods:
Bravia Engine
MegaBass
Themes launchers etc apps (only free ones0

supercharger would be nice. Yes i have root and im ready to test

Ok Mate thanks for Support you can be in Credits for BETA testing
What Build are you running? It is made on Stock 2.3.4 .42 build?
Make a Backup!

Is there anyway to get the Tmobile theme manager implemented into this ROM or does it only work in CM? I like the simplicity off just swapping themes in and out
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I will try but I dont think I will be able to cos its a Unsigned Package!

Im on that build only its r800a. Can switch to r800i easy enough though. Im backed up via titanium and recovery

Ok mate there is a link in the Dev section ok flash R800i .42 and Install root and cwm ok gtg school tmoz

MAybe you can help us with locked bootloaders overclock. Everyone says it can be done but it needs a willing developer.

There exists a kernel for locked X10 phones. Like Racecar said, if a developer is willing, could you help?
Here's a link to the thread of this kernel I mentioned.
(Don't flash it just to be dumb... It's just proof of it's existence.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226826
According to the instructions, you just flash it via CWM. EVERY Xperia Play user, even the locked Verizon models, now have access to CWM recovery.

Implement baseband .36 for the best radio

I'm unlocking bootloader this week somtime and will start on porting Cola to GSM.

Cool Hogwarts

cola6 is gd but a full screen camera would be nice. how abt including amarullz script for the internal memory boost. with all the tweaks like bravia included. these things would be nice. would love to see something new cos i keep getting back to stock as i find it more "appealing". will test yur rom once its out. cheers

The Rom is out in the development section!

Wolfbreak's 2.2, K010 kernel.
Taking photos in higher resolution than vga does now work?!
I think this will be the first custom kernel I will use. Now i just gotta figure out how to flash this.
Restoring backup of previous ROM. Even with patch I can't get wifi to work with CM Froyo of WolfBreak... Damnit, ROM was soo smooth and that stupid wifi didn't work.
I just wish there was a kind soul to tell me how to install Custom Kernel K10 on Wolf's ROM with Baseband 58.

hmmmm wolfbreaks rom works on .54/.55/.58 right??
In this case you'd need to flash a baseband patch (the cm6.52 one) and then the custom kernel

I am still running a tweaked 2.1, but without the tools created by our wonderful dev's here I would still be feeling like i was robbed by SE.
Mr Rusch Gave me the ability to push framework so i could have a circle... sounds dumb and simple - and my wife still cannot understand why i am so happy with such simple MODs!!
Binary & Androxyde gave me Flashtool. snm, i am free to make as many mistakes as i know i will, safe in the knowledge i can flash a 2.1 anytime.
Z, legend, gave me recovery. now i can save my progress in the effort to make my x10 Xceptional.
Many others here deserve recognition, RoseRed, OmegaRed, DoomLord, X10iUser (my first line of help over @ AF) MyImmortal, PlayGunsta, Flo95.........................
Too many to mention, thanks all - I have learnt a great deal and contributed where i can, i am grateful for your time, skill and patience - and we all know you need lots of it, as we were all new once!!!! BOOKAI - you lot RULE
can someone write the procedure how to instal wolf rom with custom kernel on the bb 52 ?
From tot31:
1. Fresh install the stock rom with SEUS.
2. Root & install xrecovery using flashtool.
4. Flash the X10_52_ChangeBaseband.ftf using flashtool.
5. Reboot into recovery and wipe everything.
6. Install CM_6.1.3_[v006].zip.
7. Install CMFix_v6_v61.zip.
8. Install bb patch cm5bb49.zip.
9. Install 2.6.29.6 FX k010 froyo FXR busybox in xbin v06.zip (get it on the first page of WB's thread.

[Q] FreeX10 2.3

Hi, Okay so I have running Free X10 2.2.1 with baseband 2.1.54
I want to try a 2.3 ROM and I've been looking at the Free X10 2.3
however the requirements here:
Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.3.3 ROM
2. working xRecovery 0.3
3. Baseband 71+
I need to have a rooted 2.3.3 ROM before I installed the Free X10 2.3.3?
How do I upgrade my baseband?
Is there any efficient way to back up and restore your apps between flashing?
Yes. Just use flashtool to upgrade. Then root then install recovery. It if your on 2.2 just connect it to pc companion. And also u already posted a thread like this. Dont double post
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Okay sorry. Im just new at flashing and using custom ROMs. I just have a few questions to get started. My phone is rooted and I have already flashed from eclair to froyo free x10. I would have posted in that same previous post but it said thread closed.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I would not suggest to move to FreeX10 2.3.3 as it's development was stopped, it will not be improved and has many bugs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208145&page=17
But if you still want to try it, just make sure you flash the baseband after you installed the ROM with xRecovery.
try the new cm7 instead...

What are you talking about? many bugs? I was using it as my daily rom (Until Z's CM7 came out) & I didn't find one single bug, It's stable & fast
Can someone post a link for Z's CM7? I wanna try it out.
also, how I do upgrade my baseband before doing this upgrade. I'm currently on Z's Free X10 2.2.1
Also, i notice that my autocorrect and auto punctuate (double space to make a . )
The settings are turned on but are not taking effect

You dont need rooted 2.3 rom all you need to do is flash the rom take out battery open flashtool and flash baseband 71 or vice versa

I bet he thinks development stopped = bugs hell.
And the new CM7 is a lot more buggy than you think. Wifi not working, battery drainage(just me?), etc.
Just get FreeX10 2.3. You don't need to be on 2.3. Just flash the ROM via xRec, pull out the battery, put it in back and flash the new baseband and kernel.
But you said you like living at the bleeding edge, so you can give the new CM7ZMOD a try.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Okay awesome. I'll just give Free X10 2.3 a try (I'm really liking Free X10 2.2 so far).
Sorry to be such a noob, but can someone give me a quick run down on how to get/use Flashtool? Thanks.

Well actually I think CM7 is not that buggy either, Wifi will be fixed by Z soon I bet, hell it's already fixed by a member by replacing a file from another rom, as for your battery drainage, it's ok here, not as good as FreeX10 but ok, maybe do some battery calibration & stuff? also gps is on by default so turn it off
But overall I prefer FreeX10 2.3 too, CM7 is faster (it's the fastest gb I've tried) even the first time you boot up the rom, the speed & the way bootanimation loads is just amazing, But Freex10 is rock solid stable with great battery life & very fast too
His CM7 ZMOD is probably better than FreeX10 2.3.3.
As for WiFi in CM7, here's the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16602945&postcount=265
Try wolfs ROM, alot better then cm7zmod

I9100G users Unite!

Introduction
I've had my I9100G for more than a week now and to date there's no hint of anyone working on a custom ROM or mod for it. I guess we'll have to resign ourselves to the fact that it's not really a popular model for the regular devs and if we want to get some mods or custom roms on our phones, we have to do it ourselves. I'm currently working on customising my phone, but since I have a day job and little actual experience in Android, it's going to take some time before I can put anything out. So I'm inviting fellow I9100G users to join me in the effort to get some mods developed for the I9100G.
Kernel
Firstly, the kernel. AFAIK, there are two available kernels so far for the I9100G - KH4 (Android 2.3.4) and KI1 (Android 2.3.5). There are rooted versions for both, but as of now only the KH4 one has CWM recovery. In addition, Samsung has released the source code for the KH4, but I'm yet to find the source code for the KI1. I'l like to develop for the KI1, but without a source code and CWM recovery for the kernel, efforts are limited. So I appeal to anyone who knows where we can get the source code for KI1 or can help get CWM on the KI1, please respond!
Mods
So far I've deodexed my phone running on KI1 and managed to get the battery percentage mod on it using the UOT. That one's pretty simple. This weekend I hope to try some more mods like the Advance Power Menu, for one. Once I get that done, I'll share on xda. Appreciate suggestions on what mod we can apply that's useful, but too complicated. If anyone manage to produce mods for your I9100G, appreciate if you could share.
Hopefully once we have a few mods done for the I9100G, we can consolidate them into a custom ROM for our phone.
Let's work together to make our phone better!
I would like to join with little experience on android .
I understand our target is to make custom Rom for the g model, but do you think its we can make it possible to flash other i9100 custom roms with sgx 540 processor ?
Can we have a list of things to start with to acheive that?
Btw, i tried deodexeding and i didn't success. Any advice on this .
Thanks

Hi ss219100g,
We can't flash I9100 custom ROMs into the I9100G. I tried flashing VillainRom onto mine, but I couldn't make it work. Needs someone with more knowledge and experience, I suppose. All I can try right now is try to apply various modes I pick up from xda onto my phone.
So far I've managed to apply the Battery percentage and Advanced Power Menu mods. I'll share them later today. I'm still looking around for the next thing to try. Any suggestions?
For deodexing, I used xUltimate. The link's here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
Basically, I copied the contents of /system/app and /system/framework to \origi_frame\ and \origi_app\, run the tool, then copied the results back onto the phone. Remember to delete the *.odex files in the phone.
hi, i one of the new sgs2g user.
i would like to join and hoping if we could ever make some custom rom for this version.
but i still noob bout android, and this is my first android phone.
i was able to root my dzki1 kernel, using insecure kernel and abd command, but unable to flash cwm recovery, is there way to flash it?
and other thing, what is deodex and odex? i try google,but could not understand

It's not the one from Odia's thread, is it? I tried that one but it's rooted, but doesn't have CWM.
so meaning to say that until to-date there are no available custom ROM for the GT-I9100G devices??

i did and that's normal, you get a yellow triangle because you installed an unofficial (insecure) rom or kernel, don't worry about it, it doesn't affect the stability of your phone in any way, it's just for saying that you have intalled a custom feature (rom or kernel)!

Pl. nobodyAtall, create a version for stock

Dear nAa.
I have seen your awesome work for x8. But I have a grouse. Pl create a ROM for stock. There are hundreds of us who can't unlock their bootloader.
nAa has stated that he won't really bother much about stock kernel anymore. Does this really need a new thread? Nope, as it has been requested hundreds of times and the reply has always been no.

Ok. Thought there's nothing wrong in pursuing. If the answer is emphatic NO. Sorry.
For stock??? If they can make it fully working for stock,why are they custom kernels anyway?
Respect nobodyatall but...
Some of us still have locket bootloader. My first x8 was something 10w... last kenel tried was naa 11. But my phones has failed(reboot with stock rom and kenel on every 3 minutes, gave me one new). Now i have 12w03. And i hate this. Sorry, but ...laser profit about this, and I can't do nothing. More and more of us have stock kernel with locket bootloader.
Someone of us shoult make a pool to se results.
The pool won't change his decision get real . ICS/jb wont run on stock. About GB you have gdx or etc....

I believe the decision has been made.
Thread Closed.

I recommend

Hi guys. To those of you who wants to shift from GB to ICS I want to recommend this set up. Nothing fancy but has less to no bugs and with an awsome performance.
This set up is for R800i.
1.) Firmware
Use ftf .62
2.) Custom Kernel
Flash Lupus ICS (ICS beta based)
3.) Custom Rom
Flash Sechko_JJ's Hybrid Rom
(stable, clean and amazingly fast)
Touchpads and Games run well on this rom too
That' all LOL. I've tried most of the popular roms for R800i and got fed up with the bugs and low ram availability. Try these out =) you guys wont regret it.

Very nice, not sure if it would help R800x users like me but I trust your recommendation!
Yeah sorry I can't recommend any set up for the other versions of the Play. Just wanted to share this and maybe someone might find this helpful. I just got tired of switching between roms. I've tried MIUI, Mark's roms and all of Sechkos ports. For the record all the roms that I mentioned are nice and they work well, but my current set up works great for me. I hope someone will try this and like this set up like I do. =)
Btw im new to all this rooting, flashing and all that hehe. I'm still learning. I think im already hooked to the forums and modding my play now LOL.
