It's good to see people still trying to get things working and I must say this is the best way for Sony to make the best of the situation. If this statement is true then I would have some more respect for Sony. I just hope that the game/touchpads can be resolved. I am sticking with ICS with emulators working ok, and only a few other hd games working with the help of joystick 6 so it would be nice to get some games back working.
Edit** it would also be nice to have a dedicated thread at some point for working on the gamepad so other developers can get to work also.

Thats what i got back from him. If that brings us cm9 fully working + gamepad and touchpad thats even better than official update. =)

Not yet. They can say much, it only counts if something really happens. It is a good chance though.

Although I haven't been contacted personally by Sony (I have no developer links with them) in the past they have open sourced stuff for FreeXperia such as reworked HAL, so yeah, they probably were not aware of this issue.
Developer support from Sony is amazing

Wth. No games like they said, if it wasn't for all these hard working 3rd party devs this phone would be dead! Sony this phone could off been great if u put some time n effort n worked properly on it! Frustrated that's all sick of feeling ripped off. :-(

Why Sony, Why? If it's not broke don't fix it. The stock ICS is the best interface for any android device, if sony take anymore things away it we might as well put leave gingerbread on our phones.
They've basically taken all the Xperia S' UI and ported it to the ICS roms, i really hope they don't fudge this up for the play, in fact they might just leave the play on gingerbread because they don't seem to like releasing stuff for it.

I agree with most of you saying that the Xperia Play has been left out but i'm sure that it's been advertised pretty well ? and even then it doesn't manage to get it self known.
I am dissapointed cause this is a playstation certified smartphone with actual physical buttons and they should have done better with it.
As soon as I flash this rom officially from Sony I'm going to use the AOSP theme, Xperia S theme really is ugly.
Does anyone know of the specific update date.. Everyone is saying it's near the end of may. We are near the end of may and still no update!

Unlock your bootloader and flash an ICS rom. Better than having the standard crap Sony Ericsson skin ruining the phone.
As an added bonus, all the best games i.e SNES emulators, work
Getting the Play for Android games is a waste of a gamepad........
Ics on r800 doesnt support bt headphones :c
Wysyłane z mojego R800i za pomocą Tapatalk 2
there are rumors the play won't get ics due to some memory issue
no mentions at sony though lets be optimistic
Sony: It's gonna be on Late Feb / Early Apr. Lol nope.
Sony: It will surely be on Late Apr / Early May. Lol wait more.
Sony: It's officially on Late May / Early June. Lol, don't remember that.
Hope Sony won't push the update until the end of 2012.
Hopefully all the games we love are compatible wth that updte.. Bt thts unlikely to hppen..

Now it has theme support so its possibly the best ICS rom in terms of customization

Agreed. No reason for someone to make another thread to the same topic, if need be just use whatever thread is current. OTherwise just wasting space on the forums and it makes it less likely that someone with a real question or thread is not going to be seen unless someone diggs through all the posts.
Xperia S is not on the list either... This is obviously the list of phones that are receiving updates in the current roll out.
Just found this and wanted to share.
Arc & Neo ICS updates out today.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/2...eo-android-4-0-ics-updates-start-rolling-out/
On a side note I thought I read somewhere that the Arc is a common ROM to be ported to Xperia PLAY.....this true?
Anyway just sharing.
Yes, it is true.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
Wohoo, this sounds promising, it sounds like my first try to port a ROM ever here, since I really want a ICS-ROM for Xperia Play, but only if the android version is 4.0.4 then, otherwise, it will not get better And after that I will try to get everything to work as well
it seems that the latest Xperia Pro ICS firmware has been leaked!
The sony devs better pray that it runs like crap on our phones because I cant imagine them looking worse than they do right now
If devs port this rom to the Play, get TouchPads working with all the touchpad games and I'll retract every ICS is bad for the Play comment I've made recently

ICS is great for us who pretty much just use the pad for emulators. Emulators work fine in ICS, and you get all the niceties (sadly the rotation animation is way up there on my list).
I could care less if Sony released an update or not, I'm still able to get a damn fine ICS experience with the aokp rom.

Note:- just to clear m not really that dissapointed by the hardware its just the support the XZ not geeting..so m not a Sammy or HTC fan but yes I was immpressed by the HTC one its a great device..

What more development do you want to see, the Doomkernel is great there's 2 dif AOSP/4,2 kernels
Really when I was deciding for a kernel for my ARC, I just went with the best boot logo, why? THEY ALL DID THE SAME THING.

Tl;dr :we don't need 200 kernels that do the same thing. I'd rather have a team working on a super kernel, like krabbapels (Carbon team)

It's a very expensive device do you think it's affordable by everyone? The Nexus is quite more old than this one and the fact that they have the same processor might help to port things to this one. If you wanted a phone with lots of devs you should have gone for the Nexus then.
Also the fact that the Sony firmware are really well done makes it difficult to improve anything than just adding gimmicks.
PS. For not being a troll, your last sentence from the op looks quite trolling to me.

I Purchased this phone to try to get away from flashing a new ROM/Kernel every few days, and I'm not really sure the phone's software needs too much in my opinion.
I'm not saying it's perfect but straight out of the box this phone is pretty good.
If you do wan't to flash lots of mods buy a Nexus device! You will never get the same dev support outside the Nexus community.
I just hope Sony doesn't make me regret buying this phone with their slow update scheme.

Yes the Carbon team is developing for their own kernel ans Rom, I think its 8 members.
And f.y.i you shouldn't compare Z with Nexus4. Compare it with HTC1/GS4. They're in same price & release Range.
I think there's somewhat less of threads, but when you look at the actual topics. What so they have that we don't.
I want some optimisations..I dont think that the software is.optimized..for ex iron man 3 lags alot on the XZ dont know if its the game problem.or some thing with the XZ and I dont know about other phones like GS4 or HTC1 as I dont care about them I care about what I have..I want my Z to play every game out there as I think the hardware is.capable of playing them..

And 1 hour later you're sure that it's the game and not the phone... that goes fast, I think you just don't know what you want.
I came from the Galaxy Note and there were a lot more custom roms that right, but you're only thinking at one thing:
More options.
More roms doesn't have to mean that things will be optimized, many times it's just a GUI difference, if you just want that why not invest your time learning UCCW the possibilities are endless and the good thing is that you can use the same setup on almost every phone, you can't do that with custom roms.
The biggest downside for me:
Example: Lets say you install Custom rom X made by developer Y, what happens when Developer Y buys another phone and decides not to do anything anymore with Custom rom X, that means no more bug fixes and you're stuck with a rom that isn't supported anymore.
The more custom roms the more chances of that happening.
