Hi guys,
I have a problem im my wifi after i flash any custom roms.
I try with two kernels (Arc Knight and Rush kernel) and install your modules.
And try with diferent ROMS like Xperia HD, Miui v4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308849 and MIUI4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851262
For all this kernels and roms my wifi stop working, after this im back to Original retail ROM and my wifi back to work.
Im not sure where is the problem, kernel or with custom roms!
I have unlocked bootloader.
My device is Xperia lt15a not lt15i is this a problem?
Many thaks for help and sorry for bad english.

Install the CORRECT wifi Modules for the kernel AFTER installing ROM.
Download the Wifi Modules from same topic as the kernel, install the modules after the kernel and ROM.

There are different modules for different versions on Arc knight kernel.
Do this
Flash kernel
wipe all
Flash rom and Dont reboot
Flash wifi modules
reboot

After Miui4 Aroma Instaler rum phone automatic reboot. before this im go im clockworkmod and install modules.
One question, im momet fo do root process with doom script my kernel is replaced? In topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308849 mention of doom kernel is not compatilbe with wifi modules of this kernel.
The other thing to maybe consider, is re downloading both the kernel and the wifi module to ensure your using the proper corresponding module to the kernel. usually posted within the same development post. just thinking that if you perhaps downloaded the module thats been changed for an updated kernel, who knows, just a thought

Another question, how i change mhz of processor? In MIUI4 the frequency oof processor is 800Mhz! I must chage for 1 or 1,2 Ghz.
Thanks for help!
Hi everyone! I recently (couple of months) unlock my bootloader with Loopy's method :victory: , so I'm having no fastboot mode, which means I can´t use flashtool unless I use a ftf kernel, after trying a couple of Rom's, I found "Xperia Play Z" of MarkPhyton, wich is a excellent Rom by the way :good: , strongly recommended for daily use. Anyways, I'm running it (now final version 2) with Lupus Kernel, but I have fc of my statusbar, which I think is because I'm not using the correct Kernel, as Mark's suggest, I tried to do it by myself, but I'm having trouble on packing the boot.img of the rom, into a ftf file, I could split it, I have a zImage and ramdisk, but I can pack as a ftf, because I don't have linux environment, I tried with Windows+Cygwin but for know, no results. (Java issues, or something)
I'm willing to use Linux as a second partition, but for now I have a crappy conection...
Bottomline, any thougths, ideas, recommendations to do it with windows?! Or even better, does anyone have the ftf to upload!? haha
Thanks anyway! :highfive:
When you search the kernel, it's in the .zip file.
Sry for my bad English
Rom: Xperia NXT GB 2 r1
Kernel: Lupus GB v9 720p
Thanks to all developers/devs for their hard work. Xperia play is alive.

Maybe stupid and noob question but why you can't install .IMG instead of .FTF? Fc's are because Mark optimized ROM for Doomkernel ICS wich is in the zip file.
Yes, I'm aware of that, actually, that kernel is the one I'm trying to convert, the "boot.img" included in the rom, the problem is, that my phone was "bootloader unlock = not allowed", and I use the test point method, wich means, I don't have fastboot so I must use ftf kernels trough flashtool. Can't use "img" files.

Dear all, I have had tried many methods such as
Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel by iridaki
Enable Init.d for Any Phones w/o Need of Custom Kernels!!! by Ryuinferno
but nothing's worked for me
My device is Xperia Arc LT15i
Android version : 4.0.4
Build number : 4.1.B.0.587
Any advice / tutorial that I need to know?
I've rooted my phone (there is superuser apps)
I installed CWM (i can enter to recovery mode)
I installed busy box
I installed terminal emulator
Now I don't know what to do with this init.d support.
Thx in advance
Hm... is it because i've not unlocked my bootloader yet? :silly:
Most custom kernels come with init.d support. Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel of your choice.

@popthosegaskets : I tried to use custom kernel before. But, after i unlocked bootloader, now I would love to try custom kernel.
Is there any recomendation kernel for me? I just want/need to increase my internal storage.
Thx in advance
Kernel depends on your room choice, pick a ROM you like and flash the corresponding kernel.

Until this moment, i've tried some kernels that support ICS and my FW version.
Such as : ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-BETA-v05_boot
But i've not found one of them working for my phone.

Did you try LuPuS kernel or Advanced Stock Kernel?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
Hi
Firstly apologies for these questions I've been out of the loop in these regards for a while.
I am currently using a ROM based on ICS with DoomLord kernel but I have no Play Store and the phone in it's current state is not usable effectively.
I have 2 options, Either return the device to the latest stock ROM etc... would having DooMLoRDs Kernel effect this?
Or use a stable up to date clean ROM?
If someone could provide feedback in relation to this and how to do it that would be great, I haven't use this device in a year but now need to use it as my daily driver until my Z1 gets fixed.
Many Thanks
Nevermind, I simply flashed Gin2KitKat 4.1 then the 4.2 update then the WiFi modules for DooMLoRD Kernel and it's working again.
May flash a newer Kernel tomorrow if I get time

How do you flash the wifi modules? I know you put the modules on the SD card but then what did you do to make wifi work?

Hello I am new to flashing android phones. I am currently using my Xperia Z with Android 4.4.4. But i have heard good things about old phones running new android versions. and since i like to play games, and i used the Xperia Play back in the days I was very curious about using it again. My only problem is. Where to go. I see allot of different things out there. I for example checked out cyanogenmod. But the latest file they have is from 2013-09-29 and seems outdated to me [correct me if I am wrong] I am seeing different roms for different kind of users, but I am not sure what content u want to be different.
So in a nutshell. I just want a full Android experience with better performance. i think lollipop is the way i wanna go.
I am on the original android version [2.3.4]
Any tips and tricks are welcome
There arent any official cyanogen mod roms (like kitkat, lollipop) for Xperia play anymore. You have to check the development section for unofficial cyanogen mod builds.
I made the same decision as you I used a Galaxy s3 with Android 4.4.4. But i always wanted to revive my play. I Tried out several roms, Jellybean, Kitkat, Lollipop (All found in development section) but was quite dissapointet. Jellybean had graphical issues and had a poor gaming Performance even with 1.6Ghz overclock. Lollipop isnt stable at all. So i tried out a gingerbread rom with a lollipop theme and now im quite satisfied. Its fast, has a Good gaming Performance and has no problems at all.
Additionally You should use link2sd because the internal memory is small and if you are using an android 4.0.4+ rom greenify is a great way to keep apps from running in the background and using to much ram.
Maybe try out some roms like i did, before you make the play your main device again.
Tutorials for rooting, bootloader unlocking etc. can all be found here.

i guess that is quite recent u tried lollipop? I am hearing good things about old devices running 4.2, but ur not happy with the stability of that on the xperia play? And is it not possible to use sd for half internal space or something like that?
ur talking about the Development section. u mean on xda page? I am not that familiar with xda for now. if u got a link in some directions. would be appreciated
Edit: I also checked android.gs. Recommended by some peeps. but still i have no clue where to start. I still think Cyanogenmod is the way i whanna go if u whant stability. And is it recommended to use ''SuperOneClick'' for the Xperia Play?
Edit2: i installed cyanogenmod on my xperia play, but i get ''unsupported Device'' i can press ''Continue Anyway'' but I am not sure that is smart to do. some advice would be nice
Don't be lazy, check sticky threads in Xperia Play section.
Be aware, Xperia Play don't have emulated sdcard. Sdcard is real sdcard and internal available memory is limited.
My advice, use GB stock-based roms for best game perfomance.
Unlock your bootloader and flash Lupus GB kernel for more perfomance (compared to stock) and more internal memory (640MB compared to 380MB that stock have). Use link2SD, app from market, and move your apps to SDcard.
Official, last CM for Xperia Play is CM7. Unofficialy, there are FXP (FreeXperiaTeam) builds that goes up to lolipop. But IMHO, they are lacking in game-support (on lolipop touchpads don't even work, and gamepad buttons is inverted, on jellybean there are lag when pressing touchpads)

I am not lazy. I am just overwhelmed by the content there is out there. this confuses me at where to start for beginners. so ur saying the best way is using lupus not cyanogemod? and what android version is that lupus ur talking about?

maybe we have a miss-communication here, but i heard somewhere that it is possible to install the internal system on the other half of the sdcard. correct me if I am wrong here. Or isn't that what u meant
Lupus is not a rom. Its a kernel. So the two things you can change at your phone are the kernel and the rom. The kernel controls the hardware of your phone, like the maximum clock frequence the cpu can scale up to, the way the ram is handled and partition sizes of the internal memory. Additionally most kernels like lupus include a custom recovery, that is needed to flash roms. The kernel can only be flashed via fastboot. This is why you have to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise you wont have access to the part of your phone where the kernel is stored.
So if you want to flash a rom, you have to flash a kernel first, but not every kernel can be used for every rom. Lupus will work with gingerbread roms only, turbo kernel works on ics and jellybean roms etc. You have to check the different kernel threads to decide which one is best for your needs and fits to the rom you want to flash.

I already unlocked my bootloader then i need to root my phone right? I am trying to follow [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Root BootLoader Unlocked Xperia Play. But it says ''After flashing your ROM.''
I am not sure what that means. i tried SuperOneClick but that seems to only work with below .62
I know u can change roms which suits me the best. But can i also change kernels

Unlocking bootloader is just that, unlocked bootloader. It is only for purpose to be able to flash custom kernels (other then stock). Since you have done it, you don't have to be bothered with any more info about unlocking bootloader.
Root is different thing. It enable you administartive rights on your phone, so you could change stuff (it would be also overwhelming if i say what stuff). Most (99.99%) custom roms comes pre-rooted and you don't need to bother with it. if you are trying to root stock firmware, keep in mind that zergrush methot for rooting (i think even super-one-click use same method) work for .42 firmware and bellow. For .62 and above firmware use eroot (just google file named "eroot_v1.3.4.exe")
Use flashtool. it's a program for PC from http://flashtool.net for flashing stock firmare (ftf files) and kernels (kernel is with .img extension). If you mess something up, flashing stock ftf is 100% working way to restore phone to working condition.
Also, most (99.99%) of custom kernels have ClockworkMod recovery (or TeamWinProjectRecovery) that you can enter with button when booting (most of times it's vol-, but some of them use 'back" button).
As for internal memory, yes, you can expand it, but it tends to complicate things, so, i wouldn't recommend you to that for now.
Use kernel that matchs the rom you are trying to flash. GB rom won't boot if you have flashed ICS (or JB) kernel.
As for what is better rom/kernel, no one can answer that question (it's just troll food). You have to find yourself what suit your taste.

Ahhh o was thinking i had to root stock in order to install different kernels/roms but if i understand, u only need to unlock the bootloader in order to run different kernels/roms for that.
So flashing a kernel is some sort of way for making a backup?
Edit: Yeah i have .69 i tried super-one-click but it crashed right away. I am already gonna use a different kernel i see not reason why i should root my stock version

I used "eroot_v1.3.4.exe". Phone seems to be rooted. i got Superuser now. Only when i launch it it shows me ''There are currently no Superuser app policies'' do i need to install something else in in order to use it?
the reason why i whant to root my stock is i whant to have a recovery backup on hand.
i still find some of the tutorials on xda real foggy. so like when i see a kernal i like and i whant to install, i use Flashtool to install them?
its still really confusing which rom works with which kernel. i can't really find a nice thread to look this out

Now you have root. Superuser app is just app that grant other apps root permission. On it's own don't have much to do. When other app ask for root permition, you'll be asked do you want to grant or deny that root permission.
To have recovery on stock kernel, you'll need app for that.
[APP]/[RECOVERY]x-Parts [CWM Installer] [Version 7.0] 29/6/12
Make sure you download v5 (CWM Installer-v5.apk) from attachment, because v7 don't work on Xperia Play
When you have custom kernel, you won't need app for recovery, because recovery is already included in kernel.
You don't need flashtool to install kernel, but it is much easier, with just few click.
Without flashtool, you'll need to put kernel file in same directory where you adb.exe and fastboot.exe is (from android SDK or flashtool folder) and flash it by typing from command promt (i don't even remember exact commands for it, it was so long ago i was flashing that way, that i forgot about it)
And also, flashtool containt windows driver for flash and fastboot mode.
As i said, kernel must be same match as ROM.
Stock kernel, Lupus GB v12, Doomlord V14, Extreme kernel are used for roms based on stock firmware (which is GB) and you can't use ICS, JB, KK or LP roms with those kernels.
Also, most CM roms comes with kernel inside zip file (boot.img) that need to be flashed.
CM7, even it's GB rom must use it's own kernel because it is not stock-based rom and will not work with stock-based kernels.
If you dont have any app that needs superuser rights, then it wont show you anything of course. You could try no-frills cpu control to see that youre rooted for example.
Almost every rom comes with a kernel. So if you download a rom, check the zip-file and if something like boot.img is included in there extract it. This kernel should perfectly work with the rom, because the developer included it, or he build this kernel especially for the rom.
If you succesfully flashed the kernel through fastboot and got the rom to work you can think about using another kernel

Hydrony. U where talking about ur using gingerbread now. u also mentioned try using android 4.0.4+ rom greenify. for lower hardware usage. I cannot find ''rom greenify'' in the development section.
I am checking out this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-play/development/dev-play-neo-l-legacyxperia-t2802932 the part I don't understand are the requirements. They say ''Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed'' i guess that is the CM Kernel right? They are talking about the CM11.0 in the thread titel but i see https://basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/zeus a CM12.0 version in the folders. does this mean there is an update for this CM, and that i can now go for CM12.0 or is this for other devices? After that they are talking about ''R800i (Play) users need to flash MT25i (Neo L) ftf'' is this something i must do first? and what is it

its hard finding a kernel+rom where i can use Nintendo 64 Emulator without problems. tried 2 so far but they booth keep hanging up. anyone got a link to one i should try?
Yes, I am using a gingerbread rom, because its fast and reliable and all emulators i use (Drastic, n64oid etc.) Run very well.
Greenify is not a rom, its an app thats Working on devices with at least ice cream sandwhich installed. It hibernates all apps, that you dont use at the moment, so they dont waste ram capacity which is quite important on devices with low ram like Xperia play.
Ftf files must be flashed with flashtool. They are the stock firmwares from sony and some custom roms need specific stock Roms as a base. So you should install them before flashing kernel etc. If you dont want to encounter problems

ah oke. So that means i have to download the stock firmware, flash it. And after that, flash the kernel? Is there only one ftf stock firmare file? Or does every different kernel needs a different stock firmware
