New Xperia play rooted - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i've rooted my xperia play and wanted to know if their was a custom ROM out there that had everything working like stock.
Secondly, I have a pre loaded 8GB card on here, is there any way to increase internal app memory, maybe make 500 mb of the sd card part of it.
And anyone have a list of good games, that use the controller and aren't memory hogs on the phone.
PS can I use app2sd?? Also have attached pic of the ABOUT PHONE section on the play.
thank you

you will need your bootloader unlocked (if it isn't already) before you can flash custom roms... and aboyut the games and controller, most custom roms have a glitch that the circle only acts as a back button so dont really work as a control any more,
my opinion (and thats just it an opinion) stick with stock/stock-based if you want to use your controller with normal games! (emulators work fine as you can manually assign keys)

Perhaps you can try DarkforestMix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482104

for apps on ext partition. load recovery click partition sd card it will format sd card. then download Link2sd from market and follow steps. Darkforest 3.0.5 is best stock based rom imho

Hi, can someone tell me if the Darkforest 3.0.5 stock rom has everything working just like a stock rom ? gamepad, touch etc
Also is the battery life any good or should i change kernels?
Lastly i am going to format my sd card and do the Links2sd as mentioned above, i wanted to know if installing the Darkforest is as simple as just placing it on my external SD booting up to CWM and then flashing the ROM...?
thank you for any help (and for the help already given greatly appreciate it)

Hey, I'm in the same position, and was wondering if someone could link me to CWM for locked bootloaders, and to Darkforest 3.0.5? Also what would I have to do if a newer version of Darkforest comes out?

Anyone? Sorry to be a pest >.<

maybe make your own thread? but go on the market and look for something like cwm recovery installer xperia.

Unlocking your Bootloader is well worth doing.

Not really a big upgrade... just a new modem and completely removed carrier iq... new call screen... just flash one of the el30 custom roms and try it out... I'm running sleeper... cm9 is AMAZING though and if you haven't tried it I suggest you do... viper rom is also planning on releasing an aosp ics rom too! Epic is getting some love from the devs these days! Just make a backup of your current setup and flash away... if you don't like it, your current setup is just a restore away!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
thanks i did it. but i miss my legendary. which one are you running? would i be able to ask qbking 77 what he is running. or is that a rule that we cant ask?
another question
it may be a dumb one. but when i restore my app. and i move them back to my sd card is the app being double? or is it just replacing the app from before?

AFAIK, the app is not "doubled" but moved from the internal memory to the SD card, or at least as much is possible to be moved
If unsure, check your internal space before moving the app, and then after, and you should see additional space on the internal after the moving of the APP to the SD card
To answer both your questions qbking77 is currently running CM9 but changes often to make videos so may be on 5 different ROMs in one day.
If your apps are in the system\app folder it replaces them. If your app is somehow in the \data folder and you flash something that adds it to the system folder you will have 2 copies.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
thanks again. with the rom you running do all your apps work? i have the rom on my sd card. have not flash it not sure if all the apps will still work. i have cm9 on my touchpad. just waiting on the fixes to hit.
and on question i know it is a noob question. but how can i change my signature. lol

dont know about data2sd.i heard about only app2sd and link2sd.to install app2sd you should have supported rom like CM7.but link2sd is better option for you.just format your memory card using minipartition tool.like fat32,ext4,linux swap.and download link2sd app from android market allow superuser permission and its done.now your all apps ll go to ext4 partition.
example..for 8 gb card
fat32...5 gb(its your memory card when you can store songs,videos etc.)
ext4....not more than 2 gb.(your internal memory)
linux swap...512mb is enough.
good luckk

Is 2GB a hard limit? Not that I'd need more but just curious.

hmm.i dont know but if you want more then 2 GB,you may have class 10 sdcard.you can try to more than 2GB on 16 GB memory card.
however you have 2 GB internal space by this but you can also move some apps (as you moving in unrooted phone via app2sd app).so its enough but try if you want.
good luck
Op didnt this thread started with a question on support for a STOCK rom? cm7,9,10, wildchild and all thos other (stock based roms) are not stock roms! everyone who roots their phone by now knows that links2sd works on pure htc stock rom, but the majority of users myself included would like to know if we can flash data2sd or a2sd (darktremor) and others and be able to send all apks to sd. WITHOUT the use of a custom rom which have too many bugs to be completely stable (my opinion) anyone who have a real answer to this hit me up!

Try CM9 if bugs don't affect you.
Try Hensemod7. Best rom ever in my opinion
Try Wildchild v3.0 is on the way, no bugs fast and stable, best rom for every day use

so you mean its a normal error? is alpha 5 is more stable then 7 ?
also when i was on cm7, i made fat16/32 ext partition and used link2sd software to connect to ext, so do i need to format and remake the partition or the apps will work just fine " after restoring with the help of My backup Pro?? (i have made backup of apk and data)
i do have nandroid backup as well, i haven't restored any nandroid so i suppose it will restore the os (cm7) as well?
Another thing, on cm9 i have installed link2sd and linked to ext parttion, when i install new apps, a notification comes along that it can be moved to sd card, but when i press move to sd, it doesnt move and still takes space from internal phone space.
Thanks for your help
Best ROM for Wildfire S ? Stock ROM or GB 2.3.5 based

Yes. No I dnt think so, im on alpha7.
Ext partition already wiped when you wipe all from CWM. Not sure abt my backup pro, reinstall all apps if it fail
It should be yes.
Dont move to sd but create link.

I don't find any trouble with CM9 Alpha 7(I don't use videos much). It's working fine and a geat speedy ROM.
You really don't need to move the apps to SD Card, Just make links for application, Dalvic-cache and Lib files.
Have you enabled 'Auto Link' option on Link2sd settings? If enabled it won't ask, but will simply link with sd card and install the apps.

Xperia PLAY very low internal storage HELP!

Hi my internal memory on my Xperia PLAY is 1.7 mb and everything is sooo slow and freezing and I can't even get into applications to delete apps. What can I do??? it's so frustrating!
HELP ME!!! Someone come on!!!
you can use link2sd it lets you move the apps to a ext partition... obviously you have to format first

But my phone is freezing and I can't access anything at all!
so you have only two options
1. you've saved all your data and flash a fresh install of a ftf so you can do the process with link2sd
2. conect to pc if you can and delete some data (music, pictures....) and see if you can with that
3. I don't know what else .... sorry
Okay thanks for that. Do I need root to use link2sd

If u dont care about the data being lost why dont u flash a stock .ftf it usually is a good back up. But of course your bootloader must be unlocked. Actually abit of info regarding your set up (kernel,rom, unlocked bootloader or not) will help us help you

[Q] Apps disappears on reboot with LupusGB

Hi guys, I just want to ask incase anyone of you knows the solution to my problem because i tried searching here and there but to no avail.. Everytime I use LupusGB kernel some of my apps disappears on reboot but when Im using Doomkernelv14 everything seems fine.. It just puzzles me as to why they go missing after reboot.. Hope someone can help me.. And btw my ROM is Xperia NXT Gaming 1.2.. Thanks for your answers
Are you using links2sd or apps2sd? Or maybe lucky patcher?
Sometimes it just need time to load all apps who are on sd (esspecially if you have lot of them)

I don't know what is causing that, but you could try to move them to phone memory, then move them to sd again. Try with normal way (from settings-apps) or with link2sd.
Maybe android.secure folder is deleted. You have backup?
