as you all know i was working on a kernel with 400mg system partiton but i didnt had the enough experience in building kernels so i tried doing it a new way
as you know arc s has 400mg system partiton and i saw that we can flash arc s ftf on our play and it will work
ok heres what you have to do step by step
1-install flashtool and its drivers
2-download arc s ftf from here (thanks to @zohaib0001 for his link): http://d-h.st/cyw
3- now install this ftf on your play by doing these setting before flashing:
1-all wipes should be checked
2-only exclude base band
3- no final vertification should be check
4-now simply flash it on your play
5-after flashing install a kernel with unmodified partition on your play(even before booting or anything else)
6-now flash a rom on your play and enjoy 400mg system partiton
important: your kernel should have unmodified partition or you will lose 400mg system partition
red: this mod wont work on this kernel
green: this kernel will work(tested by myself)
blue: this kernel will work but not tested by anyone
purple: this kernel will work(tested by one of the users)

tnx to @CosmicDan for posting Stock Partition Parameters
thread is 90% ready enjoy it
(only needs some redesigning and maybe some more help about how to flash with flashtool and maybe some screenshots)
Great guide!
I've tested DoomLord's ICS v3 kernel and it worked
Size of partitions is:
System: 400MB
Data: 420MB
Cache: 100MB
Question: Is stock kernel from Play's firmware having partition layout? Can it be done on locked bootloader?
no it doesn't have have any modified partiton so you can even use this on stock-rom and kernel
but its not necessary because gb roms need less than 200mg system partiton but it will give them a little more data partition
i will add everything about partitions soon
edit: but you have to flash the kernel only not the whole ftf file as you will lose this mod by doing that
Unfortunately for cdma users this guide won't work for us as we can't flash other partitions to my knowledge
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
give it a try(if you have arc s ftf)
it may work
i thought that it wont work on R800i too but it worked
update: added lupus ics beta
tested by myself and its working
this kernel and doomlord ics are best kernels for porting ics roms now
update: tested doom kernel gb too
its working
thread updated again
now most of the kernels are tested
but 2 things are still not tested
1-cdma support
2-lupus ics/gb with cm9 support(as this kernel is not updated to latest version and v6 has too many performance problem i dont recommend to use this kernel even if it works completely with this mod)
also the green color that i used for the tested kernel was unreadable so i changed it with a new color
maybe @Bakisha can do it on lupus v13 JB as he did it ICS..without any mod like that..seems to cause lost of signal and other minor bugs on play..
you wont get any problem because if you do it as i said your baseband will be the old one and the only changed thing will be system(that will be changed again) and partition layout
im running this mod from when i written it and i had no problem
severe boredom made my try this and guess what no go like I said for CDMA
Sent from my C771 using xda app-developers app
thanks
added in first post as not working
is there any other xperia 2011 phone with cdma support?

@pedyvirus can I use the LT18i 4.1.B.0.431 ftf to make it 400mb..
and will this work with Play MIUI DarkForest Kernel !! GB Kernel
if that kernel doesnt have changed partiton (and i think it doesnt have that ) you can do it but im not sure about that ftf
is that arc s ftf
sorry to ask that because im away from xperia play development as my device is dead and i only use htc one m8

Which kernel is better and why?
I google, but can`t found diference of this two.
Quarx for V20B/MMXTREM's for V20C
patry95juve is correctt .
MMXTREM 666 kernel actually works for many 2.1 versions if not all. Tested on v20e, 20b, 20d, 20c I haven't tested on v20a but should work. This kernel is the #1 right now
Veronica
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I read that it is #1, but can not found why.
bouth have iptables, suport ext3/4, swap, good overclocker...
I'm wondering about this as well, actually. My gf's phone has a rooted stock v20a (if i remember correctly), and Quarx's 0.3.1 kernel installed, but if mmxtrem's 666 would work and would be a better alternative.. why not? I'd test it myself, but with exams and everything, I'm not sure when i'll be able to.
EDIT/NOTE: They mention something about a battery boost of like 20% with mmxtrem's kern, that's why I'm considering it.
Battery should be better with the Infernal Kernel. Also it supports init.d scripting (don't think Quarx does). Oh & it was compiled using LG's latest source (v20c).

Just that easy. Was confused about all the versions and where to look it up.
So when I'm using boot 666 (which should support swap) with EleganceSwift 5.0 I'm able to enable swappiness? If yes, how can I do this?
Yes... after flashing kernel download script from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19814203 and copy it to etc/init.d folder, set permision and reboot.

I flashed MMXTREM boot 666 with init.d support, created swap partition via cwm and moved the swapon file into right direction.
But after restart swap seems not not work (terminal shows 0). Where could be the problem?
Edit: With Swapper 2 swap works, so I think the Rom should support it. But why not nativly?

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?

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

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

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.)

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.

Hi guys,
here comes official Sony ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431).
I made no change, only made a .zip archive ready to be flashed via recovery.
The ROM is zipaligned.
If someone need stock kernel and userdata tell me and i upload 4u.

Happy flashing!
Ooh boy, another one! Sigh! Why can't you just share the link on the other numerous threads? PM the OP and he'll add your link to the first post.

Since i respect Mark's work on fixing touchpads for stock ICS, and i have most of he's roms still on PC, i tought i could upload them and share with community.
I will not give support for these roms, you'll have to test them yourself.
