Here we have the Xperia Play port of the official ICS ROM from Sony!
Thanks go to expeacer & kamarush for their mini pro port which this is based on.
It is still a work in progress.. network signal is not working just yet.
Everything else does work to my knowledge..
Please post any bugs you have.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. FLASH SONY ICS BETA USING FASTBOOT (SYSTEM.IMG + USERDATA.IMG)
2. FLASH DOOMKERNEL ICS v2
3. FLASH .70 BASEBAND USING FLASHTOOL
4. INSTALL .ZIP FROM SD CARD
5. REBOOT & ENJOY
(FIRST BOOT TAKES AROUND 10MINS!!)
___________________________________________________________________
DOWNLOAD ROM:http://www.sendspace.com/file/4f8b2f
USE DOOMKERNEL FOR ICS BETA:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573184
You have to use the .70 baseband - flash this FTF with flashtool:http://www.wuala.com/ExPeacer/4.1.A.0.562/XPERIA_2011_4.1.A.0.562_Baseband.ftf
Previous basebands such as -36 or -64 will NOT work.
I will work on this more over the weekend.
If anyone can get signal working please let me know,
I think its a problem with the .70 baseband
Click thanks if you like it!
Hi Pricey,
This is great to see so many developers working on various ROMS.
Can you let us know what differences would it be compared to ICS++, DarkForest, KA12?
I know this is not a rite one because each has it's own customization, my question is whether it is geared towards High performance gaming or good eye candy...

If he got it from the arc then it certainly is NOT the same rom Sony will be giving us. I was under the impression that Sony was making plenty of PLAY specific tweaks to ICS to make using the control pad and playing games just as smooth as gingerbread.
Its a port from the xperia mini pro..
Thanks to expeacer & kamarush for their port
Im waiting. What time will be ready this rom ? (Sorry for bad english )

Obviously the final version will be more optimized for the play but this should be good enough until its released

The title of this thread is misleading...
The official build of ICS for Xperia Play does not exist.
The only official Build is a Beta.
This is mainly a placeholder as I haven't yet started development, but I am going to make a custom kernel for the Xperia U.
I have plenty of experience creating custom kernels, to list a few:
Darkforest Kernel GB - Xperia Play
Darkforest Kernel ICS - Play
KeiCS Kernel ICS CM9 AOKP MIUIv4 AOSP KERNEL - Play
DarkMIUI Kernel - MIUI GB Kernel
Wildfire ICS Kernel - HTC Wildfire
And a few ROMs too.
I only work with one device, so you will have my full development attention when I get the device in three or four month.
When Sony kernel sources are released, I will start development,

nice! if i may ask for one more thing, and this one would probably be tough, but would we be able to change the partition sizes of the internal memory? 2gb for system and 2gb for apps seems like waaay to much 1gb or even 500mb for system and 1gb for app data would be more than enough....would we be able to change it from kernel?
Keiran i may follow you to the U when dont get the sola. =)

would changing the partition sizes be possible? also, when using usb otg, if the device sucks up too much power when plugged in, an error pops up saying device consumes too much power, and it cannot be used. would you be able to remove the limitation?

I hope there is development about rooting without unlocking bootloader
But I'll wait till your kernel released, I'll unlock my xu no matter if the warranty will be void.

Don't worry, we will. Nickholtus has a P and I might be able to get a Sola.
I'm sorry if this has already been posted anywhere, or if it's too early, but I would like to discuss the Android 4.0.4 ICS update with the few Xperia U owners.
I read that it might be coming in late August, do you think they will provide the update this early?
Nothing much more to discuss really.
I just hope they will give us an update as early as possible, pretty sure we'll get it in early September.
And it needs to be stable.
Sony Mobile Italy had mentioned that ICS comes in the first week of Aug. God knows!
Sony delays updates like hell.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
I hope it comes before the 10th so I can enjoy ICS on holiday
this is what a friend of mine told me (he works by sony)
Xperia P will get it first: in the first week of august
xperia U will follow at the end of the first week/second week.
this is if everything is going right with testing!

Gingerbread doesn't lag on XU
Only when the browser hits heavy sites. Else, its just so smooth. And I'm happy with my device.
Hopefully, when ICS rolls out, more devs would move in :rollyeyes:

I think the locked bootloader isn't a big problem. My U is blocked too, but when we get ICS (I think) we can root it, and so we can install custom roms. We can't change kernel, but we can make CM roms what are working with stock kernel. I will do this too
Hopefully we'll get it this month, I might also get JB for my Arc S!
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/31/sony-says-android-4-1-jelly-bean-plans-for-2011-handsets-were-an-error
To you with locked bootloaders, if you're after root keep checking HERE. Many thanks

take a peek here. might help you :good:
FXP Wont work on JB but gave some interesting hints in X10 Development forum (FXP CM9.0 thread).
I guess that the most important thing might be preparing new kernel out 3.X branch (which was never done for X10)
Fera was nice developer but I has stoped work for x10
I think we should request him

Our x10 could of ran ics good but the makers of our processor stopped support for it up to Gingerbread. So don't expect(entirely my view) to see AMY ics rom running smooth enough to be happy with.

The maker of our processor created Adreno 2XX driver for ICS and JB so theres a chance, just someone hast to work on it.
They are many device which are not supported after 1.6 but their devloper hv mad code so it can run even jb on 600 mhz processor too
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
No it is the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor that is the problem, with gingerbread we were able to get about 54fps but ics around 30fps which I cannot live with. Because qualcomm cut support for it by way of drivers.

Building on what @Smartid said, manufacturers have details of what hardware components they are using in building the phone, its benefits and limitations. This provides them with in-depth data to create roms that fully utilise the capabilities of the components while remaining within the limitations imparted by the hardware (for example heat generation). As a result, such roms are stable for the specific hardware they were created for. However, poor quality control, incomplete component data, differing design principles etc., can contribute towards differences within the various parts of the rom itself, which can sometimes drastically increase instability and general buggy-ness of the stock rom.
Roms created by devs are usually modified forms of the stock rom for that phone, or of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code. As such, the devs are working with what the manufacturer or AOSP has provided them. The devs usually don't have all the hardware details that the manufacturers have, which is why they have to work by the trial and error system to work out bugs and kinks, something that the general users deems as "instability" but which, in reality, is just a phase of the rom development (the users get to play with dev roms during the development of the said rom, unlike stock roms which are released only when completed). That being said, many matured dev roms are far more stable and efficient than the stock manufacturer rom due to modifications and optimisations introduced by the devs over a lengthy period of testing.
