Hello, I'd like to say sorry first of all I have been a silent guest on these forums for about a year now and decided to finally register. I have been following SE R800x CDMA development for as long as i have had my phone.
I have been Googleing and searching these forums for ICS Rom for R800x since Verizon has clearly abandoned this phone at 2.3.3.
Anyways Today i searched and found this thread LINK HERE AND I'm can't believe that CM9 finally came out for CMDA R800x
So my questions is can someone guide me step by step in a clean tut or maybe a video of how to do this rom installation ?
I've found this so far while searching google but I have NEVER flashed a rom and I have taken time to read alot of XDA threads on flashing and I also used to flash my PSP when that was the rave. So I know the risks and rewards of flashing kernal and custom roms.
But like i asked if someone WHO has a R800x who has flashed the CM9 113 please help me. Do it from scratch
My Phones Info:
=============================
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800x
OTA: 2.3.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
I will be getting my Phones Bootloader UNLOCKED in a few days after that I'd like to know a very simple and clear way of doing the flashing and etc...
If someone here would be kinda enough to make a Video Tut or a clean picture tut step by step on which file to download and which on to extract where and how to It would help me a lot vs random tuts found on searches.
Thank you XDA

You probably will have to just read and learn how to do it on your own man.
This forum is sort of dead in terms of R800X phones and that is the blunt truth. Nobody develops for them besides me an maybe 2 other people lol.
I could care less about ICS so I will never port it to the R800X
It just slows the phone down and adds more unnecessary features to be honest
Well thanks for replaying
and i guess killing my hopes with my crappy phone..
I would, but I am terrible at writing guides and the like. IF you are ok with that I can try...

Your phone is not crappy, and development is being made. Just check the CM9 compiling thread, there are like 8 R800x owners who've pulled the source from Keiran's git, that must mean something I wager.

Check your PM. Then check out the thread I just put up on installing FXP113 to the R800x.
I am asking this question here on the NOOB Q&A section and not in the respective forum due to the fact that I am a NOOOB. I have to bother the servers and make a NEW THREAD about this dumb question. Here we go, I want to install Official MIUIv4 on my ARCLT15i from the following thread::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565194
since, I cannot post in the development section, I have to ask HERE how to install this on the LT15i as I am not sure how to do it and how to get the ICS BETA on the phone. If anyone from THAT FORUM can let me know, I would appreciate it. Thanks and I am sorry for creating yet another useless question.
**WINK WINK BEE-OTCHES
First thing first;
Is your phone rooted ?
Unlock boot loader ?
Do you know how to flash image/kernel/rom ?
If you answer NO to any of the questions above then I'd recommend not to touch your phone yet but read through the forums and learn all about the things I posted.
I'm also a newbie but I took time to learn. All these flashy roms are quite attractive but believe me nothing worse than a bricked phone.
Good luck
Oh yea dude. My phone is rooted and unlocked bootloader and overclocked 1.5GHz using doomlord kernel and running sinmiui 2.3.7 android. i just don't know how to go about getting this version of MIUI V4.

The boot image is in the zip file which you have to flash in fastboot mode either in command prompt or using Flash tool.
Btw for LT15 see this post. The same but rather simple.

Hey guys,
advance i get started with the topic i must say im not english and im very new in this forum, so please forgive me little mistakes like using the wrong thread or something like this
so now to topic.
I own the Sony Ericsson Arc S, its all ready rooted and modded.
since the Google I/O 2012 a few days ago, im realy in love with the pure android feeling with out manufacture specific launcher like Xperia home, htc sence or so. :victory:I'd like to have the pure google nexus experience right on my arc s.
I don't want jelly bean pls don't missunderstand, im searching for ICS.
Is there any way to get the pure nexus ICS feeling on my arc s ?
i searched allready in here, but the only thing i found was the other direction to get xperia on nexus ( WTH ?! who wants? xD )
thanks for your help and feedback :good:
all you have to do is install CM9 on your arc s....it is based on AOSP..so it will look same like google nexus OS
oh really ? yeah man thanks, so easy ... i I didn't expect
thanks man :good::victory:
but one little question. is it also including all apps like contacts telephone and so on ? must i used a specific Arc s CM9 ? I must know whether i must search for cm9 or for arc s cm9
no probs...happy to help
i'd find this link -> download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu&type=stable
but i gues its the worng ?! i own the LT18 but there it is named LT15 so the "old" arc, is it familiar ( because of cpu frequency and the 3D camera ) ?
GO here dude
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356685
Old one is Arc and it has less cpu frequency..
thanks for that.
oh man, it looks extremly hard to do. Kernel, Baseband, rom ahhh omg. if i do it right i got the jackpot and make a big party xDD
I am searching nearly one hour for an tutorial to get cm9 on xperia, dont finding any at all? is it so unpopular on arc ? i never done that before i dont know WAHT i must install and HOW :/ whats with the baseband, the kernel and the rom how can i put it rightly on my phone? i cant find anything, not in google and not here
ah okay, i found one, can i use this is it actual and correct for my usage? forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676135

No dude.. Process is same for all custom roms.. Only files r different..
First flash kernel
Then flash baseband
Then flash the rom through recovery
Then flash Google Apps.
It might sound complicated but if u do these step by step I am sure u will see its easy. So now first search for how to flash kernel. M out now or else I could've sent u links.

another thing. what is the " cm9.0 GAPPS ADDON " are this the google apps you meant ?
GAPPS is the Google apps like gmail, the play store etc.
It is essential for you to flash it.

Hi,may I suggest JJ hybrid rom 3.1 which is basically still sony stock rom but with AOSP experience..in other words you will get pure google experience and at the same time everything works includng bravia engine and xloud,trust me..arc's speaker is way too quiet without xloud...it is also the fastest and stable rom for me..battery life is great compared to cm9..and for the kernel try arcknight 3.3 stock for performance n battery life..that's all
resoftes applications
its nice from you get me this tip but the status of flashing new rom is by putting the usb cable in to my arc, more i can't do for now, i never done that before. i only read words like fastboot and so but i dont find any tut that tells my what it is.
but i think i will get the CM9. and xloud aren't used by me anyway so i dont need.
And the bravia engine don't make a big difference i guess.
but back to my problem, i cant find the right kernel for my arc because i don't know for what what I'm looking for. is the kernel including in the Rom zip !? I'm totally confused and perplexed
if i got these, then i can searching a tutorial how to flash it, but for now i got nothing to flash, so a tut makes no sense for now i must have the files first.

i dont get it. how can i install the kernel first, if the kernel is same file as the rom ?
if i go to CWM and install form zip and select the rom with the kernel i cant choose kernel i must choose the hole zip. i dont understand it. how can i separate between kernel and rom if its the same file?
i searched in google and youtube: " flash android kernel " but i don't find any good tutorial, only a lot of tuts that left out mayor facts and steps or other wise i dont find any noob tutotials.
my nerves are ending in a nuclear meltdown. i got any facts and files i must have but they are swimming around like a letter soup
im not english or american that makes the hole thing for me double hard, particularly i dont understand video tut's because of the extrem bad voice quality and any kind of american slang or migrated american slang. so youtube tutorials complete out of use for me and google dont like me too seem so.
while im trying to unlock my bootloader, anything worked fine, but for now it doesnt boot anymore. pls guy can any body help me
I did it exactly with this tutorial! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676135
ho can i fix it ?

Hi,
The xperia sspeed kernel v6 isn't guaranteed to work on stock ROMs, even though it does work with some.
If you're able to boot into recovery, flash the Advanced Stock ICS Kernel linked in this thread and it should work fine for you.

To use Sony programs again (not including MEDIA GO) you would have to relock your bootloader. But you can download the firmware you want and use Flashtool to flash it on your phone.
I will add later a link to a thread with the stock firmware.

Hi all
I just flashed Advanced Stock Kernel on my Xperia S today, after I had a problem 'cause I flashed DooMKernel over ICS. I was wondering if the advanced stock kernel was pre rooted, 'cause it came with super user installed, but isn't giving root access or super user permission to any apps (including busybox) infact, after I installed busybox, random pop ups kept saying that root access was being denied to various apps. (I had Titanium Backup*Root and busybox installed) I'm really new to all of this, and would appreciate any help at all
Oh and also, Juice Defender detected a root and Apex launcher now allows me to add widgets from the app drawer, which required root access, if I'm not wrong. I'm wondering if I went wrong somewhere..
Thanks again
Oh god, it's all on and off, I don't know what's happening.

I'd suggest installing Root Checker to make sure whether you are intact rooted or not.
If it says you're not rooted, then simply root your device and everything will be fine.
If it says you are rooted, there may possibly be something wrong with permissions.

Yeah, I tried Root Checker and it says that it's not intact. Also, the Apex launcher thing isn't working anymore (Adding widgets from the drawer, which needs root access)
But in Super User it says root permission granted to RootChecker and busybox, but like I said, the logs keep saying denied. So I'm not sure
I'd be really grateful if you can point me in the direction of a way to root my phone. I thought advanced stock kernel is rooted. Should I Flash KA S Speed kernel and flash Stock kernel again? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, this is my first Android...
