I want to test the CyB's Rom on Xperia Arc.
You can see the features here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32472431#post32472431
I don't have Xperia Arc.
So,Can anyone help me to test it out?
Required:ICS Kernel.
1.Simply download this zip:
www.cyberboy.asia/cybsrom1385345420.zip
Replace the build.prop form your working rom to this zip.
2.Reboot into recovery and Wipe it.
3.Format the system.
4.Flash the zip.
To make the camera work try this,
1.copy the /system/usr form working rom to this rom.
2.copy the following files form working rom to this rom.
libcald_hal.so
libcald_pal.so
liboemcamera.so
Please try it out and tell.
Note:I'm not responsible if any thing goes wrong.
But i believe nothing will happen....

Can anyone test it out please?

The download link given seems to have a problem with its connection.
Tried downloading it 5x but stopped at 40-60 mb.
Upload it to different site eg mediafire and ill test the ROM

Sorry,I moved the host.

Reporting!
Camera is buggy.Viewfinder is inverted and displayed in red color.I tried to find a fix for the camera u suggest but couldn't find inside my current ROM (not a single file found).Accelerometer is inverted.There is no way to turn off the on display button.
Wifi is working.GSM data is working.
Tested on xperia arc s with KTG anzu kernel 1.52 and no mods was installed.
I didn't try all features but so far its quite good and smooth.

CyanogenMod 7.1 released

What exactly is the difference? What can you do on CM7 that you can't do otherwise? Just wondering if it's worth all the trouble.
This is an official CM rom made by the CM team. This is the final build of CM 7.1 using OS version 2.3.7. Now when the ICS source is out they will start work on CM 9. Expect daily/nightly revisions of this build from the CM devs on this forum though
And in answer to your question. CM is a android rom built from the ground up for each device. Unlike most custom roms, CM is based on the AOSP (Android open source project) and not the latest sony firmware. It's basically a stock android rom, very fast and very stable but includes nothing Sony. It dosen't even include the google apps, you have to flash them as a seperate package
is it worth doing to the xperia play, im on the latest nordic firmware would i lose things such as facebook inside, and the xperia play menus?
Sorry typo i quoted my post instead of editing it lol

You will loose everything like that. But on the plus side, you get more space, better kernel and latest android version.

hey just seen this fantastic news !!!, I apologise in advance , but would somebody be able to point me to the right area for a guide to install this on xperia play, i have a vodafone uk device with a locked bootloader,? ..... thanks in advance im sorry if this has been asked its just now this release is a stable version i wondered if there is anything inparticular i need to do different when installing
has anyone loaded this yet? is everything working, camera, touchpads etc?
the one thing i'm worried about is losing the Touhcpads/PSXperia. I know that both of these work on the XDA version of CM7, but what about the official?
hmm, prolly wont work r800x ? it says r800i

Anyone now how to istall it? There is just a zip, no boot.img. i am on 2.3.3 with doomkernel.
i'm thinking we probably have to load it with clockworkmod still waiting for mine to download though so i haven't tested yet
here's the guide for getting clockworkmod up and running:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
Okay my download finished i will make a uploaded.to mirror soon becouse the download on the CM site is very slow. There is a boot.img inside the zip, so i think we really just have to wipe and flash the zip.

[ROM] [ALPHA] CyanogenMod9 By alex1301

After a few headaches and some claps on the forehead i finished a very alpha build of CM9 for the IDEOS X5. It was ported from the Galaxy W port of arco68 with the files of Aurora ICS and this guide.
I don't know the bugs, so please PM me if you find a bug.
NOTE: I think i am only too stupid to sign a zip, so you have to sign it by yourselves or toggle verification in the recovery.

Alpha is not bad nor good, just a phase of software development. Please confirm the rom is working, otherwise I will move it to general section.

i´m downloading it right now, and will test it in one hour and i will say someting here...
It doesn't install, always Error status 6 in CWM. I replaced the METAINF folder in the zip with aurora, and changed the name of the zip itself, then it installs, but doesn't boot...
Next, I replaced the boot.img inside with the 3.0.8_v2 from DZO, then it boots but never goes further than boot animation
It is not rom development if you just switch some of the files, compress the file into a .zip and post it here.
Can anyone have a look at it and help me? I think the problen is the updater script, because i've only copied the one from aurora.

i have only one problem. the guide says the Easiest way to replace the kernel is to take a kernel update zip for your device, un-zip it and rename the zImage file to "boot.img-kernel" and copy and replace the file of the same name in your directory.
but when i take the boot.img-kernel from the unpacked aurora boot.img, it has 2,6 mb, but when i rename the packed boot.img from aurora to boot.img-kernel it has 3.0 mb. which one should i take?

Boot.img is ramdisk and kernel, compiled into one. You need kernel.
Unpack both boot images, replace kernel with auroras and change init.rc scripts to mount the correct partitions.
On mobile now so can't give a tutorial.

the guide i follow says, that i only have to rename the init.devicename.rc to init.huawei.rc. should i also change the init.rc to the one of aurora?

Any problems, suggestions, comments, feel welcome to post.
Standard Disclaimer Mumbo Jumbo about spontaneous combustion, girlfriend breaking up with you, sky falling, other funny stuff, etc. Once you flash, I will be more than happy to help, but remember a couple things:
-I do not offer a warranty, your manufacturer's/carrier's warranty is now void.
-I am not responsible for what to do to your device.
-I am only human, so don't expect me or my ROM to behave perfectly!
This ROM is being updated by the original dev, when he updates, I will update. Otherwise, updates solely by me will happen when I see fit or when someone suggests a change or brings up a problem.
When providing bug reports, please provide some simple information such as:
ROM version (I know it's just the first version, but for future reference...)
Steps you followed to install (yes, write them out)
ROM you came from
If you wiped ALL (data/cache/dalvik/system)
If you restored ANYTHING (ex. with Titanium Backup)
Steps to recreate the problem/any useful info about the problem.
Happy flashing!
Sounds pretty good. Looking forward to trying it.

Ok so wiped everything twice like you said... Chose custom installation (the one where you don't have to reinstall the ROM for changing anything) and I chose devil kernel, stock theme, and the some apps. But I noticed that when I go to settings /about phone every thing there is from the rom I was running before this, like kernel and mod version.. I believe this ROM is based on slim but it has an aokp theme (the one I had before fishing this.) And if I go to system/xxxx everything there is also from the previous ROM I was running. but the ROM is very fast smooth and responsive. I came from simply aokp v6

Correct, this is a mod of SlimICS, hence TiramiSLIM. So...your issue with messaging FC'ing remains? And to clarify...what kernel and mod version show up in your current setup?
Also, what messaging app did you install? Inverted? Stock?

Glad it worked for you, and thanks for keeping the issue updated!
Thanks for porting this. I hope to see your thanks meter continue to go up. I know it more than doubled today!
A couple questions if you don't mind-
On the original post in the I9000 forums, they have some sweet themes. What is the best way to go about getting those? Are they available for the captivate?
I found in that forum that others are trying out different kernels. Have you experimented at all? It seems to me that the one that comes with it doesn't support overclock and BLN through NSTools.
EDIT: The latest version of Devil Kernel works for me so far.

thanks Zzmomo. Use update-me app for themes (instructions are in original thread). kernels can be flashed in aroma installer. Update me app probably has i9000 kernels...I'll check this out.
So yeah...I'll have to release an update to the ROM to fix the update me app for the captivate. I'll probably also release an update.zip so current users don't have to download the whole ROM again.

joshlevinson this is a very nice rom. works like a charm !!! thank you so much for this!
I was messing around a bit and tried putting galaxy s3 ui sound instead of the regular ones. I replaced them using Root explorer and changed all the permissions to the right one and rebooted but it didn't work so I tried putting the default ones back but still didn't work... Any way I can get then back without having to reflash the ROM.. And if I do have to reflash it do I need to wipe or not

Did you replace the sounds in the aroma installer, or just by using root explorer? Please explain the process a bit more.

OK for replacing the file, I got them from team remics and I took system/media/audio/UI and replaced them with the ones from this rom. Set permissions and rebooted...
Then for the reflash process I wiped cache and dalvik cache , used modify me and selected devil, then replaced galaxy s3 and delete default sound, and selected some apps.. and rebooted but still no sound... so then I reflashed using default installation and then flashed again using modify me and all worked.

for now everything is working really well. I'm restoring my apps right now so that's gonna take a little while but I'll let you know more later. First impressions are very, very good. All camera options work fine, the rom is really snappy, great stuff!!!
edit : one little gripe, after manually inserting the proper build.prop from your zip, my phone recognises itself as r800i but my computer still thinks it's a neo L when I plug it in. nothing major but i had to let you know
your zip has an error .. status 6...
Doesn't matter..
I downloaded this firmware .... had to convert it to ftf ... and flashed it .... feels smooth, thought there are some force closes in the start... but works great ... There is no particular difference between other firmwares and this on... Just a little smoother...
I haven't checked the touchpads yet... Will check it later..

Miui V4 for Sony Xperia PLAY - Found a thread

So lately I have been eyeballing the Xiaomi Red Rice for its price and good specs. My wife recently had a friend from China visit, my wife is from China, who had a Xiaomi phone running the famous Miui setup. So I started looking at the Miui and its pretty slick. I tried the Miui launcher from Xiaomi from the play store and it was nice but its just he launcher. I started looking for something more complete then that. I came across this thread from Gfan, think XDA for China:

Highlight link and open in new tab, then follow down after Google Chrome translates to Eng, or your preferred language, to the downloads.
This is 4.0.4 Miui (ICS MIUI)
If you use google chrome to translate emmbedded is a link for Miui kernel 720p and 4 parts to make the ROM. I downloaded and flashed the kernel and the rom an next thing I know I am running Miui v4 on the PLAY, and boy is it gorgeous.
I just got back from vacation last night but I will be making a video and posting a link of it here. I also am uploading now a zip, insie this zip is the meta-info and system folders, plus several other folders that say things like R800, R800x, etc. Inside these folders are jsut apks, mostly to get touchpad support although I have not fully tested yet.
Here is the download link:

I take no credit for this, I dont think this was even posted here on XDA only on Gfan, however if this belongs to someone here who created it please post and I will totally give credit where credit is due.
I will be making a video shortly later tonight and posting it here.

To make things simple I will make a nandroid backup and upload a link for that, plus a link for kernel for it.
I have to say this rom is sweet, I am loving it. Also, Xperia PLAY Launcher appears in the market so it has been modded to use the launcher and the gamepad and touchpad.
i cant seem to download the kernel because if "hotlinking" or something :/
Would love to try this and see how it performs ^^

Nandroid Backup ( I just realized i forgot to factory reset it so my info is still there, I will repost after I make a factory reset... sorry)

Uploading video to youtube, its 10 minutes video.
Here is the official video for Miui V4 from Xiaomi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDu7RxWTfd4
My video is still uploading, yeah its a big video, 1.4gb at 10 minutes.... also in my video there may be some Chinese chatting and my two daughters running around. Tried to find a quiet place in the house... kind of hard with a 4 and a 2 year old.
Just found this, I think this may be V5 of Miui for PLAY/Neo/Arc etc.

I am installing now, its got some neato video that plays before it install, like its Aroma installer on crack.....
Okay, so the previous link is for V5 of Miui for the following phones, this is a port, so unofficial.... also just noticed its based off of CM 10.1, so in my opinion its not a true Miui ROM, whereas the v4 I have installed is from what I can tell a true Miui ROM. But I could be wrong, I am still new to this Miui stuff.
Another link, sorry for all the stuff, just wanted to share. This link has a post for GSM and CDMA Xperia PLAYs.

Okay, so it is Aroma installer but its really slick install and loader, really pleasant and bristling with options prior to install.
Edit - V5 looks no different then v4, with the exception V5 states rom as V 4.1.2 of Android
Sorry for the wait, my video of 10 minutes in V4 has uploaded, here it is:
