I recommend - Xperia Play General

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.

Should I make A ROM? [GSM]

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
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
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.

HTC Desire Fanboy wants to boost girlfriends Galaxy S - need advices

Hi guys,
i know that Thread is kind of lazy but my girlfriends Galaxy S1 (Stock 2.3 ROM not rooted) is soooo damn slow and i wanna help her with a new ROM,Kernel etc...
Myself is using the newest ICS Release on my HTC Desire but i readed and informed me everyday for best performance.
At the HTC Desire topic im very well-informed but the Samsung topic is extremly new for me...so only thing i did : Stock 2.2 to Stock 2.3
(Kies is bull**** xD ?!?!)
I would like to root my girlfriends Droid but i dont know which ROM or Kernel should i chose...there are sooo much.
Because of that...guys: Whats the best, smoothest and especially stable ROM (especially for girls^^) whatever Gingerbread or ICS...i think JB is not smooth enough like on Desire :/ (too much issues etc)
It would be pretty if someone could help me so that i can boost the performance of my girlfriends phone on the best and stable way.
THX
Try stock android 2.3.6 ZSJW4. Root it with CF Root and she will be fine. Very stable and smooth with no bugs. Yoy can find it on Sammobile.com
For Gingerbread I recommend the Samsung stock roms, which are pretty stable.
See this thread for official GB firmwares from Samsung (includes also a guide for flashing stock roms with Odin).
See this thread for CF-Root, a basic rooted kernel for stock GB roms (it's the stock kernel with added su binary, SuperUser app and CWM recovery).
See this thread for Semaphore, an extended kernel for stock GB roms.
I only tried Cyanogenmod 9 as ICS rom so I can't recommend any other ICS rom, but CM9 is pretty stable (I'm using RC2 atm and have no big problems). To install CM9 or other ICS based roms, you need to install CF-Root or Semaphore first (through Odin), to get CWM recovery.
thx guys, but
@ c_codrut: i don't think that TouchWiz is a good choice...because its still boring and slowly
@stbenz: thanks for your informations, i will look at this. But im intrest about the CM9 Stuff on Galaxy S
I also use CM9 for my desire but its not officially supported...its an ROM from xda (DK-Zero) and its know very stable and without any big issues.
But i used it since 2012/04..and at this time it was very buggy...no mic no camera etc...for me no problem but for her xD not acceptable^^
But my problem is that myself can fix problems on my device and can live with it...but i dont want that my girlfriend need help with every update or something else...she should use the ROM as an almost stable and for daily-usable ROM.
I know that i should or could test it but its not my device and i couldn't walk all day with it^^ (hope you understand this )
It would be cool, if see could use ICS by CM or what about the AOKP ? (i missed that for my desire :/)
So best thing would be a almost stable ICS ROM....i/she dont need that Samsung UI i guess.
CM9 RC2 (from 2012-07-19) or the Nightly (from 2012-08-07) ?
or what about AOKP (Milestone 6) ?
cm9 + latest devil kernel :highfive:
AOKP milestone 6, semaphore 1.3.0s kernel. Fast, stable and she‘ll have unicorns.
sent from a telephonic device
Try Cm9 Rc2 very stable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
With cm9 all hardware works except for fm radio. Some are reporting, that the latest nightlies are more stable than rc2, but thats most likely because bugfixes for bugs reported for rc2 are already merged to the nightlies. But I also think we are not far away from the next rc/final version, so if you don't want to flash too often, you could wait for the next rc/final version.

This guy knows what he is saying. Use CM9 RC2 and Devil Kernel and you got yourself a blazingly fast winner!
ok, guys THX!!!
i will start with CM9RC2...was my favorite anyway
And when i update the ROM ...does it works like on Desire (wiping cache and dalvik) installing newest RC or Nightly?
Or the Kernels needs often to be update?
Hey, I am using this ROM and I can only say it is extremely good, a real revelation after using Froyo and GB. I had some issues with CM9 but it was also great and superfast. i9000 with ICS is like a completely new phone!
Hope this helped a bit.

The kernel gets flashed every time you install an update, so if you have an alternative kernel, you have to flash it again every time you flash a new CM9 version. You also have to flash gapps after every update.
Girls will like MIUI ROM. Its beautiful and have custom theme... try it out.

sent from another galaxy
Hi guys...im back and finished my work
I rooted with Odin and hopefully with the correct Kernel.After that i made a NAND-Backup.
So i wiped everything and flashed CM9 RC2 and the Gapps...and everything was smooth and cool
But so far i didn't flashed the devilkernel yet...the CM-kernel seems ok.
So my question whats the Pros and Cons of the Devil-kernel compared to the CM-builtin-Kernel?
I think batterylife is important than extreme power and high batteryloss, i guess for her ^^
BTW: To make CM more female, i installed a pink theme and a pink clock widget for my girlfriend, she's happy now
And again guys...THANKS...it was very interesting to flash and root an other device (brand) and i saw the differences, Pros and Cons!
In my opinion Rooting on desire was easier and not needed as much informations and readings ^^
I hope she get no big problems but i not averse to work on her device too^^
And im jealous that her ROM runs so stable...on Desire its also stable but the Videocam doesnt work ...damn :crying: (very choppy)
But there isn't a official CMsupport or 100% HWA
i don't know about the devils kernel, but i can definitely recommend the ICS semaphore kernel http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
just remove the spaces.
using the smartassV2 govenor, etc, my phone's battery lasts about a day longer than it did on the cm9 kernel
Ok, i also use this governor on my desire and an extra sleep state governor
...the smartass v2 rocks !!!!

woooow nice THX...but lol...i finished my work 2 days before xD
So is it possible to flash the stable Version over the RC2?without any negative aspects?!
The update process is like desire? wiping Cache and dalvik an flash the New Version?
Sry for these noob question but i want a good running system for my girl and cannot test the system many days like on my device
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
You just flash the stable over RC2, flash the google apps, and that's it. No need to wipe anything. If in doubt, make a nandroid backup before flashing.

I feel sorry for you then, as if you really believe that then you shouldn't be developing a rom. 2.3.7 and 2.3.4 have different files not just a build.prop edit.

thanks will get back as asap
one more thing have you tested transferring large (2gb) files? only reason i ask is im using gin2jb / stock and have this problem where the phone reboots mid transfer tried on win xp fails but works on win 7

i would also like to try your rom.. Im currently using true ancestor for stock roms.

Want to install custom rom. plz help

i want to install custom ginger bread or ics rom on my xperia x10. i want stable rom. can anyone help me with this...
Begin with rooting your device,its pretty easygoing.. there are ample guides for.it! And then get a custom recovery once u do all this the rock solid rom is to be chosen, for me its wolfbreak if you are absolutely sure about safeplay and if some tweaks and real cool rom is that you want i would suggest feralab V 20! Do a bit of searching! And ya for fera rom you might need to unlock bootloader for this too.... Ohh ya begin with installing flashtool on your pc and just follow few guides you will rock in few days! Do search!! :thumbup:
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
"Flashtool". It is all you need!
And a Rom... If you only want a faster rom that looks like stock gb.... head over for leaf rom.
If you want something new, try a dixperia (7 or 8, but 7 seems to me to be the better one), for performance and a lot to play around try m&m team cm7.2, for gaming wolfs gaming rom and for th Ultimate Over kill bombastic Rom choose Feralab ICS v2! By the way its cm9.2 and i use it right now .
But i recommend to start on a gingerbread rom.
At last if your keen on style and looks try cosmicUI, a MIUI port, its unbeatable in looks and theming.
Greets
If you dont care about garanty than the easiest way is to download and install flashtool, download doomkernel to "firmwares" folder of flashtool. Then enable "usb debugging" in your phone (settings- apps- development) and put it on your pc, wait till flashtool recohnizes your phone, then click on "plugins" in flashtool and "unlock bootloader", wait till it finished and click flash, choose flashmode and then the doomkernel. After that youll have Root, X- and clockwordmodrecovery and a custom kernel on that you can flash any stock based rom, e.g. dixperia 7 avenger

ya, man, stay away from all, ya, iean all , ics rom. they cannot meet your criteria of stability.
just stick to gingerbread.
great gingerbread roms are:
donuthd
feralab JAF
focus on this 2.
for kernel, great kernels are:
ferakernel
doomkernel (medium overclocked one)
thats all you need for npw.
if you like some adventure later on, you could try flashing ics rom . as said before, ics roms are all not stable.
however, you could see some new features.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
sorry bro but currently I am at feraICS v2.2 and its as stable as donut hd.... i tried both and so I can really say that, dunno what you did.
But forvthe first Timevit is really better to flash a gingerbread Rom and at the moment x10 doesnt really need ics brcause all one need is running on gingerbread as well, probably better, and it has more free ram too. but that doesnt mean at all that ics isnt stable.

Although I'm tempted to try Omega soon !
I have had my N7 since pre order and I can't begin to tell you how many ROMs I have tried.
Dirty AOKP is the best I have used...bar none! Very fast, smooth and extremely stable. It has a very involved DEV who offers great support. It offers a choice of seven or eight kernels that you can choose when flashing. The latest build has Tablet UI that you can install without rebooting.
If you like your brother at all you need to let him try this!
