Hi all devs,
Today we are releasing an ICS beta for Xperia PLAY. After releasing the ICS beta ROM for three other phone models, we got a lot of requests from Xperia™ PLAY users that wanted to try out ICS. As games are such a crucial part of Xperia PLAY and we know that some games need to be optimised, we are really interested in your feedback within this area.
You can submit your feedback either in the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM survey for Xperia™ PLAY or in this thread. If possible, please describe your experience of different games on the following format:
Game title:
What was your general impression?
Did the buttons work properly?
Did the touch pads work properly?
Did you experience any lagging?
Any other feedback?
Thankful for all your feedback!

Sony Mobile - Developer Relations
Thank you, I will submit feedback as soon as I get this on my device and I get the chance to test, Again thanks for supporting this device, I though it was forgotten.
Will there be a version available for the R800x (CDMA)?
Oh My GOD!
OMG just sore your tweet. Beta has landed on play. A pitty 2-3 months after your other models.
Wow! Downloading now and will provide feedback when I get a chance

Will work on getting it ported to R800x this afternoon
Can someone tell me how can I install this ? Where is system apps ?

You may have to edit build.prop to get wifi working. I'm just making a backup then I'm going to flash and attempt to root and get wifi etc working. Will report back with my findings

So data is working?
Does it include the Xperia Play launcher, pspocket and any inbuilt apps/games?
Won't be able to install till later.
Awesome job Sony!
Will start the testing tonight!

How does one make a rom dump if it's not to offtopic to ask?
updated the first post =)
cool
thats too bad that psclassicwallpaper and psoriginalwallpaper isnt working on stock x10
Happy to see a ROM dump for everyone to play with. Lets remember that this is in the DEV forum and to keep on topic and refrain from "thank you" or "useless" posts.
The livewallpaper isn't working on other phones? Damn it!
wait! can i load this on my g2?

No, the only thing that will happen, is that you won't be able to boot, and you would have to wipe or restore a backup.
Oh please, anyone make this awesome PSP Live Wallpapers working on other phones....
Greetings from XOOM land!
Anyone been successful in installing the .apks on any other devices? I've gone through them one by one (aside from the obvious system apps) and tried to install and none of them work. I even re-signed a few and they didn't take.
What 'profit' would we have with custom Android roms if i may ask? Im new, just got the Xperia play. Moved over from a HTC Touch Pro 2 with custom NRG rom.
Speedier, a UI more to your likings and the newest android versions would be the primary points I think. Maybe more controll over your privacy?
Tetris, Home, Time widget, and Fifa works on the OG Droid. Anybody get anything else to work?

I'm not sure how it works, so I'll just ask.
Will ICS have support for mkv hardware acceleration, or is it pure hardware, with nothing in the rom contributing to what sort of files can be played via hardware?
I really would like my 720p anime to just work, without needing to convert them.
is this the thread where the better working ics rom is going to be?
nice update
1 night sleep and bam a whole new rom

Ported Themed Sony Ericsson Home (Xperia S Style)

I love the idea, but i'm a little confused, will the touchpads work like on the stock ROM or like on the CM7 ROM?

KeiranFTW said:
Right, I might have a little much on my plate, but I am proposing to make a new rom, called DarkforestMiX.
Why the name DarkforestMiX?
Because it will be a mix between CyanogenMod 7 (thanks FreeXperia) and the stock rom.
I have decided to initially base this ROM on CM framework (CM as the base) and so touchpads will work as they do in CyanogenMod 7.
Why "Darkforest" again?
Because, I am from The Darkforest Group, and I am a co-owner. I develop stuff for dfg because I like to
There will be four Darkforest Group roms for the Xperia Play:
DarkforestROM RC2: not to receive any more updates until ICS
DarkMIUI: updated weekly, will be available to download via DFR app (app not yet released)
DarkforestMiX GSM
DarkforestMiX CDMA
What I need from you:
A banner for the rom would be nice and a click on the thanks button too
I can't yet give you an ETA, but my CM and stock merge will be a selfkang (compiling cm myself, merging it myself)
More details to come soon

I'm all for this as long as a few cm things are included like the power prompt and when you pull the notification bar down you can turn wi fi blue tooth etc on/off. Those shouldn't be hard to include. But I dev for motorola so I assume SE is a bit different

I can make you a banner. I'm unemployed and have a degree that I apparently cannot use where I live, so I've got the time. lol
What are the rules for making a banner on this site? Dimensions, etc.? I'm assuming there's a thread on it somewhere here (I clicked the home button and am actively looking), but I haven't found it yet.
I think it would be better if you just keep working on DarkMIUI and improving DarkForestRom. Because I think that DarkForest is awesome but it sucks that you ain't updating it anymore...

Please make MIUI perfect first I'm sorry I sound so forceful but trust me you're the only hope for MIUI dev for XPlay right now and whereas CM7/CM9 already getting weekly updates. And I and all the XPlay MIUI fans wait for your update every day. I check night and day for new miui update. Hope you get my love for your dev on MIUI.

Hello again
As you may know Turbo kernel [Multiboot] and "STOCK" Based ICS ROMS breaks the Camera. Well one thing Dan told me it that swapping the drivers form a CM9 based rom should fix the camera, so i did and it indeed worked! so i whipped up a simple patch that will install the Drivers to your ICS ROM on turbo kernel and fix your camera!
Download it ->HERE!<-
Or in attachments below
Thanks to FXP for driver locations :good:

nick should take your time..anything he can do for play,surely he is going to do it...instead of turbo kernel,maybe you can help develop MUIU 5 already started by Dan..just a suggestion since i think maybe you the one that can do it..and turbo kernel is already the best kernel and stable. thanks for your work all FREE and sorry for something said here that im sure you dont deserve it.
Guys please try and keep on-topic here and resist the urge to argue or throw insults at other members.
Thread cleaned... and I'd prefer not to have to return for the same reasons.
