Just though the need to create a new thread and inform the people who were interested in the ICX Play Launcher.
This is going to start been in development again very soon! I have only just recently purchased an xperia play again.
I have since started a little quest into Adobe Air Mobile Development. After I have hit my goals with the gaming development I would be more than welcome to start back up with the ICX Play Launcher. HOWEVER - Testing/Developing at my speed is really slow as I have a lot on my plate as I am also a freelance web developer, I am interested in creating and gathering a little team of developers together 3-4 who has knowledge with AS3 and Flex 4 as this is what I will be developing all my code in from now on.
If you are interested in joining the team and have past experience with AS3 or Flex4 give me a shout as it can be a great help. For the developers I will be throwing a little github together so we can monitor each others improvements to the code.
I have a lot of ideas for the launcher such as making it a home launcher with the PSVita style.... Who knows??
Awesome. I have always thought about this ICX Launcher and wondered if it would ever see a release

psvita style eh? I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this thread....

Looking forward to this!
Cool i'm really happy that such a man is back for our Play. ThumbsUp!!
Speaking of Development and Testing, I am in the middle of creating a fighting game which will be Play exclusive which takes the Street Fighter style into today's graphics. I was wondering if I could possibly gather a few people together to test the game on there device.
As I am running CM10 on my Play I am needing people mainly with ICS or GB installed on there device and have not edited the DPI (as this game is constant Xperia Play exclusive which is designed especially for the community to bring back some more fun into the device).
If you are interested just drop me a little inbox and I could provide you with the current BETA of the Game to try out for yourself.
Dude you are awesome! The Play has to keep alive.

Great to hear that ICX Launcher is still on! And I'd be more than happy to provide any testing services I can for your Xperia Play Exclusive fighter!
Sorry to bump dead threads but did this happen? Been away a while

This is good news to our community since SE used to be anal about these mods.
They are giving 20 phones out to the CyanogenMod team and helping them out with kernals and debugging.

Honestly, I couldn't be more happy with all the changes Sony Ericsson has made.
that is too cool!
Can't wait to see where development goes form here!
Very cool! That's a much better stance than Motorola is now taking (so much for their unlocked bootloaders).
Considering how many they gave, I'm going that includes the CDMA R800x!

Haha I'm pretty sure they won't exclude the cdma versions since its so different from the gsm. Fingers crossed though.

I'm pretty sure they will. Keep in mind the R800x officially cannot be bootloader unlocked. If they officially support custom roms on the R800x verizon will not be happy.

that's a great news!
maybe we'll see features in our xperia play combining the goods of cm7 and our phone.
Hopefully now that SE support development they can release their Kernel sources earlier
Loving the news.
My Atrix runs CM7 and it makes the device so customizable and better to use, so having this on the Xperia Play as well would be a plus.
With great news like these my atittude for Sony Ericsson is changing for the better.
Unlocked bootloaders and trying to help the community out. So much better than what Motorola and HTC have been doing recently.

Lol Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave. RIP, man.
Quick point guys.
If Siri is ported and it uses the "token" that the iPhone 4S uses to identify itself to Apple's servers, it becomes warez.

Still is difficult to do but they did it
For sure Andy its a nightmare,that's why I said iris is a better bet and if gains momentum will be a much better idea,

Right, after making an ICS port to the wildfire and my darkforestROM, as well as three kernels and a few apps, xda haven't accepted my developer request.
Before I get the ranting it takes them long to do it, I put it in last week, and the backlog cant be that bad.
If they don't see me as a developer, then fine, but that doesn't mean everyone won't.
Probably because I have only been on this forum two weeks, but who should judge what time you have to wait to be a developer?

The commitment and help you have given us for our ICS ROM I would definitely call you a recognized developer.
Thanks for your play tweaks app. You are a developer and will be recognised soon. Thanks again

It is my understanding that there is a couple weeks lag time in the process, and they do them in batches. I wouldn't be surprised if the process were slowed a bit by the holiday season, as well. Just be patient.
I agree with everyone. You SHOULD be seen as a developer. Loving the tweaks app and the CDMA Kernel. Plus just all the help and feedback you have provided. You have been here two weeks but I have yet to see a thread that doesn't have your feedback in it. You have been very helpful to many here myself included, and I thank you for that. You will get recognition that I am sure of.

Yes +10 chars
Seeing how you developed an app that i use on my phone i certainly would say so.
do you know the criteria which they use to make the decision?
anyway who are they?
It's too bad, I totally agree with everyone and your tweaks and ROM have been amazing. You are one of those we can rely on for help. No matter what u are one of the best devs here.

I disagree, I believe you should be a member of the forums for 184 days before they even allow you to apply for dev status.
Pfft! KieranFTW don't even bother listening to Dudeness83 he doesn't recognize the skills. I agree you should have dev status you've brought us a sweet rom, kernel, and awesome tweaks all in a short period of time! And your fast to reply to any kind of problems that users run into

I understand that you're a bit miffed, but... Give it some time. The recognized developer thing implies that you're recognized by the XDA people too... And with two weeks, it may be a bit too soon. I am a forum moderator and previous admin, I know I can't assess people in a couple of Weeks.

The recognised developer system has nothing to do with if XDA considers you a compitant developer. It's more like a mark of achevement. Just keep going, keep working hard and you will get there. It takes time though. Look at the top devs like Leedroid, he has like 10 rom and kernel threads on the go at once.

Thanks for the feedback, will keep developing until the end of the play, that is a promise from me

LoL at that.
As soon as ICS comes out officially on the wildfire, I will be getting a good system dump and removing bloat, as well as adding tweaks.
Will call it Darkforest ROM 4.0 ICS
Having few custom roms here is a good one, gives me plenty of space to make more

As with so many other people, my phone contract has expired. As such I now have a beautiful Xperia T to replace my X10 with. However two years together with it can't be so easily forgotten so it is with a heavy heart that I say good bye to this corner of XDA. It has been quite a journey- the debate if we would get gingerbread, about dual touch, the 16m colour screen? I remember it all! I was here when the founders of the X10 community were eager- DoomLord, Trip'n'raver, Z, J rdannar and all the countless others. In the past year however, they have been replaced with the likes of ChampionSwimmer, Amin, WolfBreak, FeraVolt and Vasishta Reddy. So the X10 thrives and survives! Although I will no longer have the device I will still check in ocassionally and if I can share what I have learnt in the past 24 months I will do so gladly. To the Devs all I can say is keep on rocking and make our x10 shine! To the users, obey the forum rules and keep faith
Galcactus,
Barnaby

The xperia T is an amazing phone,my upgrade is due in November and it will be tough to leave the x10 and the community. My next phone will most likely be a SONY, have fun with your T.

just out of curiosity...why Sony as ur next device???
A combination of ui, the specs and that I love Sony's designs! I was so envious of the arc! The t was all I wanted and more! Factor in the my fan boy attitude and the James bond stuff it was ideal! HTC I don't like the ui, same as Samsung. IPhone I say no to on principle and the others aren't nice...

Hey Galcactus,
I can understand leaving this community isn't nice. There has been a great development and there is a great community-feeling.
I recognize everything you've said. I also was there in the early days (remember the F5 party's on TripNRaver ROMs).
But good stuff ends some days.
Even that my subscription has ended already (beginning of september) I'm still using it, with my x10.
Newer subscriptions cost me more money. So I'm thankfull that there still are dev's for x10, that can give me ICS.
Anyways, have fun with your Mr. T!

My girlfriend get back from work and "i have jb update yeaey" and i dont have any words lol she have also galaxy 4 but that was sayed to only make me mad so Just wanna share my sadness and anger as well on sony ones again!"thank you" again sony! I am personally hate you for dump our best gaming phone to the trash!
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
The phone was not dumped for the heck of it. Sony dumped it as majority of the games designed for it wouldn't work well on the play. Plus ICS was a ram hog. Thus games ran poorly or were not updated by the devs to run better.
Plus our play is two and a half years old. No phone manufacturer is going to spend the resources to update a phone most people would have upgraded from.

But you see how Xperia J works with JB? Lags,lags everywhere
There has been many discussions about this device not getting Jellybean all the way back to when Jellybean was first released even ICS. The simple matter of the fact is this device will never get official ICS or JB. There is plenty of information online as to why. These threads usually become off Topic threads flaming the manufacturer, so for this reason..
