Quick Stats:
R800i Unlocked
Carrier: 2degrees (NZ)
Bootloader unlocked
I'm wondering if anyone can help, I wanted to get a ICS rom of some sort, so I unlocked the bootloader and put clockwork mod on there. I installed the CM9 Release Candidate for Xperia Play, and it will then turn on with the boot animation, but it keeps playing it for nearly 20 minutes so far... Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
You will need to flash the kernel too. Instructions are probably in the CM9 thread.

Yeah I followed the instructions on the wiki, Clockworkmod seems to be running okay, its just when it boots to start cm9, the boot animation for cm9 is taking forever.
Is it the freexperia logo?

Yeah that comes up, then the CM9 boot starts... and never ends.
I have the exact same problem (except on CM7)
Sorry I can't help you
Before you flashed the zip did you do a factory reset from CWM and wipe dalvik cache?

Not really a good idea to install Pro ROMs on the Arc or vice versa. You need THIS.
OH DAMN!!! Why the heck didnt I see the 'Pro' there.Btw, will this zip not give me a status 7 error?

I have tried to Flash my Xperia arc S (Lt18i) with the Smart Xperia ROM.
But during the boot after installing Smart Xperia ROM part I, its stuck with the Boot animation.
My Device info:
Baseband: 77.
Kernel: ArcKnight_4.1
Unlocked Bootloader.
Android 4.0.4
(I have flashed " XperiaArc-SmartXperiences-ROM Stock Framework " with CWM as it was suggested at the post if stuck in Bootload, but still not working for me. The boot animation is stuck. I've waited for 10 mins, but the boot animation goes on and on and on.)
Please HELP me!

I've restored my phone as I made a backup earlier with CWM.
However, my device is running well now.
What I am asking is that is there any solution for my problem?

If u have unlocked bootloader u should not ask such questions bro.
First flash kernel
Go to cwm and wipe everything except sdcard
Flash the rom
Flash the wifi modules for the kernel
reboot
So if you install part II, don't factory reset again !!, Just Wipe dalvik cache

Having only dabbled with rooting and upgrading a Evo View tablet, I jumped into the deep end with my Incredible 2.
I got it to S-off and rooted and have been trying a few different ROMS (mostly chillybean's) and have what seems to be a common problem:
Sound works fine until a call is received. The ringtone fails to play and then sound doesn't work at all until its reset. I have had success resetting the sound by activating Google Voice Search with a long press of the search button. This seems to be true for CM10.2 and PAC. I didn't test this on an Evervolv because 3G never comes back on after Wi-fi has been turned on.
Has anybody had better luck with a particular 4.3 ROM? Does this sound issue affect pre-4.3 JB roms?
Thanks!

I answered part of my own question:
I confirmed that the Evervplv nightly 2013.09.24 has a working ringtone. But once WiFi is turned on, 3G is off until reboot.
try beanstalk 1.300

The 929 rom is not working for me and I know at least of couple of other folks in the same situation.
Are you using the 929 ROM with sound successfully? What - exactly - did you do to install it? I'm wondering if it's a I'm-doing-something-stupid/wrong thing or maybe a hardware revision thing.
Thanks!

Flashed it like any new ROM. Backup important data and reboot into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode:
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Mount/unmount -> format system
Format boot
Install AntiVenom SDW
Flash a ROM
Flash GApps
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot and you should be golden. I've had it hang at the boot screen a few times, had to start over and skip installing GApps until I was sure it would boot.

Well, that didn't work for me. The only thing I didn't do was "Format boot." I couldn't find that in Revolutionary CMW.
I'm thinking there's something different about my phone. Hardware? How I rooted it?

What version of gapps are you installing? Try flashing the ROM without installing gapps and see if it will boot, then if you're successful go back into recovery mode and flash gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip from here.
funny question, does docking mode work with these roms?

I flashed Evervolv 10/30 nightly yesterday and it looks like they have the 3G/WiFi toggle issue resolved. The quick settings were missing but, I'm guessing that'll be corrected in the next build. Also, flashed B-Team Kernel. 4.3-s2w version resulted in bootloops but, the 4.3-v2 version worked just fine. No sound issues as far as I can tell.
Does the latest Everlov nightly work? Also what are you all referring to when you say Chilly's forum, the "Inc S dev fix", and AntiVenom SDW? I went through 5-10 of the most recent pages on Everlov and didn't see any of these things, so would someone mind providing links?
Thanks

Would you, or anyone else still reading this thread, care to weight in on whether Evervolv or CB's rom (Which? Beanstalk?) is more stable?
