Most Functions are working for me including back up and restore.
No need to rewrite update-script .All flashable working in CWM recovery will also work here.
But backups made by CWM Recovery will not work.This is a complete replacement of Clockworkmod.This has separate backup folders and methods.So you have to do your backups again.

More interested in what is not implemented in other, already existing at the time, recoverys.
These are:
- Ability to install APK's, IMG's, ZIP's, TAR's, TGZ's from the same menu
- Battery charging
- Ability to root any ROM
- battery status (charging status, temperature ) display
- Hold volume keys to scroll
These features really work?

Emo was working on this as well

As I said most basic functions and normal backup/restore work...Recovery specific functions...
-Yes you can not only install apk but also choose install location as system app or normal app.Zips Work.All others also should work.
-Battery charging status shown.
-You can set scroll delay in Options>>Set scroll delay to customize "Hold volume keys to scroll"
-Rooting I cannot test because I am already rooted.
Not Working:-
-Changing nand backup location-So do not change it to external sd-we backup on sdcard only anyways
-Battery temperature and voltage-Will fix it later

awesome dude!
will test it now =)
Thanks

I tried to backup my rom..the recovery says: No enough space for backup..why?

Simple...That means You do not have enough space on sdcard ...
Or Did you change nand location?You shouldn't change that..

Simple... i have 6 Gb of free memory and i'm not so stupid to make that question if i don't have enough space on my memory card -.-

[JB] Slimbean for Xperia play Guide (Thanks to; cj360, cosmic dan and lupus)

First of all i would like to say a massive thanks to:
- Cj360 for the epic Jelly bean Rom
- Cosmicdan for his awesome kernel
- Lupus as well for his awesome kernel
- And everyone else who made this Rom possible, I thank all of you !!
So now with the intro, I'm new to the forum and i shall be testing different Rom's and kernels and giving feedback mainly on the Xperia play R800i and the Xperia x10 mini pro U20i, recently I've been trying a lot of different Rom's and i stumbled acrossed this JB slim Rom (For the Xperia play) and i was extremely impressed with its performance. The interface is simply stunning, blazing fast and built firmly compared to other ICS and JB Rom's.
Here are some of the specs i gathered from my phone's settings
- Operating system, 4.1.2 Android Jellybean
- Model Number, R800i
- Slim version, Slim-3.1.0-20130202-2346-UNOFFICIAL
- GSM ( Note GSM Version is for UK only)
- Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-Turbo_v3.1 [email protected], #66
- Rooted (Built within the kernel, Both Cosmicdans and Lupus)​
[ I have attached some screen shots of this Rom ]
If you have an Xperia play i would highly suggest trying this out, as it is one of the best I've seen on xda:

Installation Guide [For people who do not know how to install anything]
DISCLAIMERS
Before you start anything, I'm not responsible for any: Bricked devices, dead SD cards, boot-loops, etc (You know the drill). You do this of your own free will​
Ok with all the serious chat aside lets begin. Firstly you will need the following:
- Unlocked boot-loader -----> Follow this guide from Sony:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
- Flash tool -------> Get that from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
- The Slim-bean Rom -----> Download slim-bean in Second post, pick GSM or CDMA depending on where you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
Below are two links i found showing all countries that use GSM and CDMA, hope it helps ! (If your still confused do a little bit of research !)
GSM -----> http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
CDMA -----> http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp ​- The kernel -----> Get either Lupus or CosmicDans turbo kernel (There both epic!)
Lupus kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861970
Turbo Kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548​
- AND A VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU MUST HAVE IS ..... patience's
Ok if you have everything lets start the guide (Note: Make sure everything is done on windows 7, as its easier than older versions of windows)
1. Before we do anything make sure that you have a unlock boot-loader and you have a downloaded the following files:
- The Rom itself ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975851
- The Google apps -----> http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
- The Kernal -----> I did Turbo Kernal http://www.mediafire.com/?ncgvp2qcuns9m (NOTE: PICK ZEUS as that is the code name for Xperia play)
- Flash tool -----> http://androxyde.github.com/
- Fast boot Package -----> http://db.tt/B5vG1ynM
- R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf ------> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3UZttldr317Zm4xRnQ2WkRFbHM/edit?pli=1
2. Preparing your phone, make sure that you usb debug mode on and file transfer to MSC and allow unknown applications. Next you must connect your phone to your computer or laptop via usb, and open up flashtool and remember to install the drivers, they are located in C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the xperia play driver, fastboot driver and flash mode drivers. (MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR FILES IF YOU HAVE TO)
3. Go into flash-tool and select flash (Its a lightning sign) and then press flash and open up the directory where you downloaded the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf and flash it. Wait a few secs or minutes depending on your computer/ laptops speed, then a dialog will open telling you to shutdown your phone so shutdown and wait until its completely off. Now connect the end cable to your Xperia play and hold the back button and connect your USB into the computer and wait for it to flash. This can take some time and you must keep hold of the back button until its completed. After completion it will ask for you to unplug the USB and turn on your phone so do so, then it will launch up the Sony sign and it will pretty much look like the original firmware you had before. Now moving on, once booted up you must skip all settings and wait for the phone to fully load once the set up is done go back to setting and make sure again that USB debug mode is on, unknown sources is enabled and it is in MSC mode. (Note for CDMA R800x users you don not need to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf )
4. Now connect the usb to the computer/laptop and place the Rom and Gapps onto your sdcard (Make a folder called Custom Rom). and then disconnect the usb after thats done.
5. Now this is were it can get complicated, so please pay attention. You must now shutdown the phone and disconnect it from the computer. Extract the fast boot package (Note: i would recommend to do this all on windows 7) and place it on desktop. Now drop the kernal you downloaded into the same folder (In this case i picked Turbo kernal, so i place it in the same folder). And holding the SHIFT KEY + RIGHT CLICK will open up a little menu (like when you right click anyway) and so you click on open command prompt here (CMD). ok now you type in the following code (In this case the turbo kernal) :
Fastboot flash boot boot_zeus_turbo-v3.1.img
Now it will say waiting for device so you now have to have you xperia play of and hold the search button and plug your usb back in then it will start transferring the kernel onto your xperia play, wait until it has finished and then disconnect your phone and boot it up.
6. You should see the sony sign and the Turbo sign underneath at this point you have to keep press the volume down button -
and then you will enter into a screen where it shows slot 1, 2, 3 and 4. So press slot 1 and then it should say: Boot, TWRP recovery, change slot and Tweaks and mods. So press recovery and then you will come to a screen with different options. First you need wipe data so goto wipe and do a factory reset and then go back and wipe dalvik cache and go back again and wipe cache.
7. Now you must go back and press install and it will show you, your sd card so now you must go to the folder that you name 'Custom rom', like i said before and now install the slim rom, it will ask you to swipe to install so do so and then restart your phone !!. (WARNING DO NOT INSTALL GAPPS STRAIGHT AFTER INSTALLATION OF ROM, INSTALL ROM AND THEN REBOOT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE FLASHING GAPPS).
8. So now you have rebooted your phone, you should see after the sony sign, the world 'Slim bean' flashing. Wait a bit for it to boot up and then fill out the basic installation form.
9: restart the phone and install Gapps through recovery but do NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE OR CLEAR CACHE OR FACTORY RESET, just install the gapp zip the same way you installed the rom in 'Custom Rom' folder and then restart.
10. you should have google apps now but the screen might look very small at first and so to fix this press: Menu button> System settings> Interface> Genral UI > LCD density and follow the steps. (This fixes issues with the screen and allows you to use apps like Facebook)
11. The final step of course is to enjoy your new Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Rom and Remember to thank everyone who made this Rom possible!!
So all in all i would highly recommend this, if you currently hold a Xperia play and your fed up with gingerbread then try this out, you won't be disappointed !!
Did i miss anything, if so reply back and i'll do my best to answer your question.

Re: [JB] Slimbean for Xperia play Review (Thanks to; cj360, cosmic dan and lupus)
This is a rather good guide. You might want to change the title. By saying "review" it could give the impression that you were just giving your opinions on the ROM. I used this guide to put slimbean on my Play and i found it easy to follow and understand. However, transferring my apps and data is such a pain:banghead:. I bought TB Pro as well but it tends to hang which leads to frustration as i have to go through the process of which apps i want restored and which ones i don't again and again. It's quite tedious and slow. Anyone know how to make it work "properly" or an alternative?

Thank you for the reply
I look forward to make more installation guides for people in the xda community and i agree i think i should change the title from 'Review' to 'Installation' (My bad sorry ). This is my first installation guide and i'm very happy that you were able to use it and install the slim Rom, as for the apps i think if you have a Google account anyway you should be able to backup your apps from your previous firmware e.g. Gingerbread. I think if you go to Play store then press menu and go to 'My apps' you should be able to see apps installed and previous apps installed if you swipe to the right (However you have to install them individually). I know how you feel though I've been trying different Roms and every time i find myself re-installing and backing up a lot of data, but for now i'm not sure if there is fix or an alternative for TB pro. But i would suggest backing them up manually for now via play store, until there is a way to do it all at once. But nevertheless I will try my best to give installation for all different roms (Hopefully for all phones), making it simpler and helpful for people to understand. Currently i'm studying in college but when i have time i will post different Rom installation guide, but for now thank you.

Good guide, noob friendly. I was just about to whine but I haven't found anything useless here although just edit the first post with flashing kernel via flash tool as it's much quicker and easier for everybody.
And it's called kernEl not kernal

Well don't get me wrong but all you actually have to change are just few lines in the thread and the title of the thread... Seriously, it's good that you've created such guide but come on, creating like 10-20 threads for different roms which doesn't actually differ much in the installation process? Come on, it's just bad...

I like Appextractor from AppsbyAndy. It lets you extract your apps from a nandroid backup. It's not perfect, sometimes apps are missing, but I like it WAY better than TIBU. The only thing I use TiBu for anymore is removing system apps I don't want.

8. So now you have rebooted your phone, you should see after the sony sign, the world 'Slim bean' flashing. Wait a bit for it to boot up and then fill out the basic installation form.
9: restart the phone and install Gapps through recovery but do NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE OR CLEAR CACHE OR FACTORY RESET, just install the gapp zip the same way you installed the rom in 'Custom Rom' folder and then restart.
10. you should have google apps now but the screen might look very small at first and so to fix this press: Menu button> System settings> Interface> Genral UI > LCD density and follow the steps. (This fixes issues with the screen and allows you to use apps like Facebook)
11. The final step of course is to enjoy your new Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Rom and Remember to thank everyone who made this Rom possible!!
So all in all i would highly recommend this, if you currently hold a Xperia play and your fed up with gingerbread then try this out, you won't be disappointed !!
Did i miss anything, if so reply back and i'll do my best to answer your question.

I loved the performance of the rom. True jb feel with amazing customization tweets. Checked high end game FIFA12. Works great.
But the rom ultimately is useless for me until you come up with a gamepad and touch pad fix.
WE HAVE XPERIA PLAY. But without the gamepad working; gives such an ordinary feel. sorry.
PLEASE REPLY.

thanks for the guide, very usefull for me..:good:

Aroma freezing, my new app to solve it, does it freeze for you?

So I will just say upfront that after constantly keeping up to date with the current ROM I'm using, my htc one freezes during installs of rom, tweaks, themes, etc. This freeze is apparently to do with Aroma and our touch screen.
The way around it (somewhat) is to pre-modify the config file in note pad, line after line and it's time consuming. Pre-modifying the config allows us to simply hit next repeatedly to quickly get to the installation process because all of the options are already set.
I created an app called 'Thaw It' to help create a config instead of manually editing it. It runs in Android. It's an app that reads the config, displays checkboxes and descriptions, allowing the user to check install options, and then finally outputs a new config file for Aroma.
Can I get some replies on whether this community would be interested in using my app? If no one replies I will assume everyone is happy with their work arounds (whether that be rebooting phone and retrying, or hand modifying the config with notepad).
Not sure if this thread is in the right place. It's purpose is to gauge the need for my app....

You can use the volume up/down keys to change the currently selected item and then use the Power button to change that item (click a button, toggle a checkbox, etc) to completely avoid having to use the touchscreen. It's my understanding this fixes the Aroma lockups with the HTC One. That's how I've flashed the last three ROMs and they've all finished fine, though Aroma still locks up at the end when you select Next to reboot. At that point you can just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and turn it back on and you're good to go.

Sure, I would love to use your app.
Thnx

Yes I knew about the power and volume buttons being an option.
Here is the only bad thing about the app. It extracts the config file from the zip and reads it, but does not rebuild it into the zip when it's done.
So the last step is take the new generated config file, and drag it back into the zip to replace the original.
The reason I don't automate this is because it would take a very long time to unpack the entire zip, and repack it programmatically using the built in libraries.
still usable?

AROMA works fine with Clockworkmod Touch Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
However, if you already have TWP backups, they won't work with the above recovery.

I've never had a problem using touch, it froze on me while using vol/power buttons.

Blackbolt: I think it's an excellent idea (and if it could remember that I always disable a set of apps and all keyboards, so much the better)

Wouldn't it be better to try and fix aroma with the aroma dev instead of creating an app to work around a bug?

Aroma is constantly being updated but general release of working builds may take a while. Amarullz knows what he is doing except he doesn't have the One or s4. OP is just offering a work around for now and for current use.

Aroma freezes a lot in CWM touch for me,aint a huge deal tho i just reboot and reflash

Amarullz manage to fix Aroma already for HTC One. It's just he still has some minor things to be tweaked before he officially releases it. Although he already released the beta version to the public.

I use TWRP. I guess it's a twrp/aroma specific issue?

[MOD] Disable Mobile Data On First Boot

What's this?
As the title mentioned above, It disables your mobile data right after flashing a rom through recovery so that your money won't be deducted after boot
Personal Information
For me, I use it because I use a prepaid card and every time the mobile data is enabled after boot. It deducts some amount of money from my prepaid causing me to lose money every time I flash a new rom.
What is modified?
apns_conf.xml which can be found in system/ etc
How to flash?
1. Flash any custom rom that you would like to use through recovery
2. When it's done, go to mounts & storage and mount /system
3. Flash MobileDataOff.zip from attachments below
3. Reboot system and enjoy a safer way to flash roms
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below and make sure to hit thanka if this works for you. :good:

And your really think only the empty file is the solution?
<apns version="6">
</apns>
Just look into this thread. In the script the original conf is restored after the initial copy of the empty file.
And there is a hint that pressing the end call button might help instead (didn't try because I do not need it).

Been there done that. Sometimes some roms have setup wizards which takes quite a while to load. And sometimes for what reason my prepaid decreases from a 2 to a 1 digit number. That's why I decided to do this mod.

yup the reason I made this into a flashable zip is because some people [like me] don't know how to run scripts or adb.
Okay going to update this to include credits and a restore file so that it does the same function as the script

Does this work?

How about removing the sim before flashing...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

well, nice.
i usually insert a spare sim with zero balance (i knw we all hv spare sim cards). this way i setup everything reatore titanium backup, contacts etc. n finally i change my sim to the one which i normally use..
ummm hmmmm??
and NO.. few ROMs out there want sim to be insrted so this might do the trick to fool Newly flashed ROM..

[app][Root][plugin][liveview] Reboot Plugin

This is my first android plugin for the sony ericsson Liveview
It has some Rooted-Phone-Only features that are watch-sided User-Interface only, its features are
-Reboot System (or a normal reboot basicly)
-Reboot Recovery
-Reboot Bootloader (if phone compatible, otherwise it will most likely reboot into system)
-Power Off
This app uses on-screen words when you move the left and right border touchpad area(s) to switch between the options then hit select to reboot/power off to the option on the screen, nothing more, nothing less
**note** after the phone is rebooted u WILL need to re-sync your liveview (as a reboot stops the bluetooth connection of course, not to mention a power off)
Download:

Thank you for that. can you add 'shutdown' too?

its under "power off", sorry for the confusion

Hmmmm not working for me. I hit the reboot icon, the liveview screen goes off for a second, then turns back on with the reboot icon (plugin), as if nothing happens. No change to liveview or phone.

This bug is also on my second device (Arc S). I think i know what is wrong. Reboot a phone needs root acess. But my phone does not ask me, wheter I want to give the plug-in root acess. Has your phone ask you, wheter you want to give the acess (superuser/superSU)
@jkok: is it possible to add a Action-button, in the Plug-in-Preferences on Phone, which enables the rootacess without the liveview? Also there could be a Test Button, which shutdowns the phone for testing.

sorry ive been busy doing some things in the family lately ill look into these problems, and if i can ill add a check superuser button, so be patient ok?

The strange thing is, that it works on my Arc s, (SU question after clicking reboot on Liveview), but it does work on Xperia Play (no SU question). Both on ICS. But it works well on arc. Great work!

ok new version is uploaded, i couldn't add a setting to check, but i have it now to check (and send request if not granted/denied) every time the app opens, and/or onCreate()'d. hopefully this will help better then when the function is initiated (e.g hit select after reboot option is visible)

Thanks! glad to have helped, its one of the simpleist apps ive done tbh it just runs in android's shell (with root permissions, or else it would have to be a system app to reboot, only with different code then i used) so the way i did it you dont need it to be a system app, but requires rooted phone.
P.S. Thanks for bumping this the overall downloads went from 23 all the way to 98 since u posted 0.0... lol
edit: nvm i didnt see it on the front page of the portal lol
