Hey guys, so I just installed Cm7 on my r800x play, it was a pain, but I finally got it. Everything on there seems to be working fine except the gamepad and camera. All of the Xperia Play Optimized apps that I have won't work with the gamepad. The arrows still work but those work in any game. The camera also doesn't work but I was told there was some patch to fix that. Does anyone know how to fix the gamepad? I can probably get the camera myself.

Just wondering, is over clocking to 6ghz safe?

6ghz :| ? You could possibly fry your phone in less than a second haa!
I wouldnt advice you to go past 1.5Ghz
LOL clearly means 1.6
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Yea sorry about that I did mean 1.6 lol. But now I went back to the stock rom and Im using DoomLord's 2ghz kernel. Is that safe?
It's not safe, you'll end up getting your phone. 1.6 is probably the best threshold.

You could probably get away with it, with some serious undervolting. (If you CPU can handle the stress).

Title, I don't want to mess up my xperia play, and I could probably back up my files(which i plan to do if I use FreeXperia root anyways) I want to use this over a few others, just because it is so much easier to use, it looks like. But anyways, any feedback would be helpful =D

What are the main things I should know about the Xperia Play?
(In terms of Rooting and Bootloader Unlocking etc)
I'm coming from an Xperia 8 and I'm not a n00b at Android hacking so I can take a lot in.
Also, is there any bug in the Play that I should know about? I'm hoping that by the time I get mine (2 weeks) it will. Come shipped with ICS.
If not, I can use PCC ....right?
Thanks guys,
Really looking forward to joining the R800i community.
Anything guys?

It probably won't come with ICS. However, if you unlock your bootloader (free using Sony's official method if you have an R800i) we have an official ICS beta from Sony. It's perfectly stable for everyday use. There are also a few roms based on it.
We can't flash kernels from recovery so get used to using fastboot. It's actually pretty simple.
Be aware that the gamepad doesn't work properly in non-stock based roms - CM7 for example. Sony's stock rom is actually quite good anyway once you've de-bloated.
Other than that it's just another Android phone really

Thanks for your reply
Yea, don't worry. I'm used to flashing kernels and backups in Flashtool from my X8 , so fast boot shouldn't be too hard, but I'll have have to learn more about it as we don't have that over on the X8....
Also, its a bit of a bummer that the game pad doesn't work on custom ROMs :/
But just as a matter of interest, does the game pad work on the ICS Beta and can the game pad or
down arrow be used for scrolling on web pages?
And I'm also very surprised that Sony have given access to a Boot loader Unlocking tool!
Anyway, thank you very much for your reply.

Gamepad works fine on the official beta, although some games don't perform as well as they do in GB.
Yes, D-pad can be used for scrolling web pages
If I were you I'd flash the Sony beta ICS with the Sony kernel. Unless you like games, then I'd flash the latest Gingerbread ROM. Emulators (especially PSXperia) work better with GB.

Ah, OK thanks
And if I happen to get an R800i model, where can I unlock its bootlader, as MicaelBH said Sony have a free unlocking tool.
Also, I'm hoping that the Xperia Play can be rooted in flash tool..right?
Again, I really appreciate your answers.

Ya I love that game. All you have to do is get off ICS. I love that game and GTAIII.But for some reason a LOT of games don't work on ICS.Thats the main reason I went back to GB. I have a lot of kids and they always wanna play them. Right now I'm on MIJJA 3.0 and it rocks. Since he updated the last el29 version it has all ICS animations, boot animation, CWM, plays all the gaming apps and no worries about bricking. Plus, all modems work with all ROMS and kernels. I'm on FD16 modem now. I'm currently trying to get some help making an AOSP lock screen mod for it. Ive already posted a crt mod for it. I really don't see b what the big deal is with ICS. Its really not all that better. We'll see what happens after source comes out. Oh and I got Sonic 2 running on my phone right.now.. He he he

I presume you're talking about triangle away by chain fire. I would say if you are on a ICS kernel and ROM that there is a chance since it messes with the boot loader but on ICS, give it a shot. I used it on FD02 and had no problems. Removed the triangle PERMANENTLY(i really couldn't tell you how) and reset my binary count to 0. i gotta warn you though do. NOT use it on .GB YOU WILL BRICK IF ON GB.
if i use chainfire it will brick it?

o no i meant chainfire3d lol
i got a jig off amazon after i got the eptouch

Ooh my bad the above post i was posting to your other thread about sonic 2. Lol i have no idea about chain fire 3d.
Jigs don't work after eg30 tho. You would have to flash the eg30 boot loader. Calculin posted one somewhere. I can post it if you can't find it with xda/google search bar above.

Well, it doesn't just *work*, you have to change some of the per app settings\individual app settings... something along those lines, I'm pretty sure for street fighter it was qualcomm. But for alot of games you have to set it to nvidia.
You can set it to use one of the plugins for everything in general, but i'd advise using the per app settings instead.
There's lots of other settings you can change but it's just something you can tinker with to get performance and graphics how you like them. It's a very useful app.
Along with mobile Odin, chainfire has created 2 of the most useful android apps around
Make a new folder under Android ... Should look like this .. Android/obb/the game data.. Should work. As it works for me

I've been hearing that complaint from people with Tegra 2 devices as well, seems like it's pretty hard to get working on non-Tegra 3 devices right now. There will be a version for other phones released at some point though.
Hello everyone!
I'm with JB installed on my GN, but every time I try to install the 3D chainfire (PRO version 3.3), it goes into infinite boot, and I have to flash to new rom.
Anyone with this same problem? Already have a solution?
Thank you.
same here. anyone?
Needs to be updated.... It's more than likely not compatible with jelly bean yet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It wasn't even fully compatible with ICS, let alone JB...
The chainfire spell doesnt seem to effect jelly beans.
Dang, i wish i would have seen this yesterday. Had to reflash. So far, I have not found too much to make me very impressed with jelly bean.

No, it was not fully compatible with ICS. There were features that didn't work, e.g., night mode, etc. Chainfire mentioned he was working on it months ago, but I guess it was never finished.
If he hasn't fully fixed it for ICS, I doubt he'll have it fixed for JB.

How was it useless?? It allowed you to run Tegra 2 games and games for Qualcomm processors on your GNex. How is that useless? You must have been doing something wrong.

who do you think you are? if anything chain fire is garbage, why were you installing it!? lmao. you Dev? you help the community with all those thanks you receive? thought so. so why would you disrespect a wonderful developer on a developers site!?? what were you using it for that you didn't find it useful? you knew you would get flamed for that disrespectful comment right?
anyway, it worked great on ics for what I used it for which was running tegra games on a galaxy s 2 and putting 16xMsaa on all my 3d games with smooth as hell game play still. it was awesome if you didn't have a high resolution screen. sadly, like all have reported , jb doesn't work. here's to him updating it because I totally support him and would even pay again.

Used to use Chainfire 3d on my SG2 ... decided on friday afternoon to give it a try on my nexus what can go wrong it downloaded from the google play store and said the device is compatible... boot loop.
So back to Jelly bean stock no biggie to fix... but should really be marked incompatible in the google play store. Hopefully Chainfire can get round to updating in his spare time.
