Lock Sound

When i first got the phone I could hear a sound when the phone locked. However, after i updated to 2.3.3 (it bricked half way through(pc companions fault ¬_¬)) this was gone and i just updated to 2.3.4 and it still isn't there...Was this removed :
If so, is there a way to restore it?
EDIT- Also facebook seems to be chewing up 30mb + of ram now...I've tried removing anything related to facebook from the phone via titanium backup and then installing fb via the market but i get the same thing...

u would have to root ur phone,extract the attachment and put these into system/media/audio/ui and change the permissions to how the others are
This worked for me!! And u will have to turn it on in settings/sound/screen lock sounds
ENJOY!!

Just checked system/media/audio/ui and the audio file for locking still seems to be there "lock.ogg" ... So i'm guessing its just not incorporated into the system or is disabled somehow...

you could just use widgetlocker. that has lock and unlock sounds plus tons of lock slider options

Yep ended doing that

[Q] Xperia PLAY MIUI Root

Hello there this is my first post lol. Anyway i I wanted to ask if i could enable root on MIUI for Xperia Play. I use this fine ROM here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719746 but I cannot get root to work. I open LBE Guard but it still does not work... can someone help me with this? Also in the thread it says that face unlock works but that too does not seem to work. Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but as I am a new user i could not post a reply on the actual thread for the rom. Thanks in advance

Download Root Checker off the market to double check that you are indeed rooted. I had an issue with a kernel where it said it was pre-rooted but for some reason mine wasn't.
Also, go through the pages on the thread and see if anyone has used a different kernel than the recommended one. Most ICS based roms will work with any ICS kernel. Make sure to keep your current one backed up on your computer in case none work. If a kernel is not compatible, you won't get past the kernel screen. Battery pull, flash next kernel. If all else fails go back to your current one
I'd say try the FXP ICS beta kernel. Or possibly DoomKernel (make sure its the ICS one AND you get the wifi fix if says its required).
www.xperiagamer.com has a list of kernels under the "rooted" section with links to the relevant XDA thread

i did use root checker before, but i fixed the problem, kinda. i reinstalled the rom and chose superSU in the AROMA installer instead of normal superuser, and that got root working. However, i would like to thank you very much for your reply as i can tell it took a lot of time to write.
on to the next problem, anyone got face unlock working? if so how

You're welcome I'd bookmark xperiagamer.com btw. Perfect site for the Play.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend FaceUnlock. Its extremely temperamental and more often than not you'll end up having to use your PIN or Pattern unlock. The front camera on the Play is far to dim for FaceUnlock to be a feasible option. So, I'd advise against it and stick to the option you currently use

aah oh well, i didnt face unlock. thanks again

My Bravia Engine is working for videos on UNLOCKED bootloader

Today I again unlocked my bootloader to test out the latest CM. After doing so I flashed Elite kernel by Rayman and went back to my stock ROM.
Then I followed this guide to get Music info working on unlocked bootloader. It uses SemcMetaData.apk from the T JB leak. The method worked and download music info is functional.
HOWEVER, now I also have Bravia WORKING for videos. This is not placebo, I know the difference between Bravia on and off. I pause the video and turn Bravia on/off in settings, than back to video and it works. The saturation gets increased and it's fully functional.
Perhaps if we get the CredentialManagerService.apk from the same leak and put it to system app, maybe Bravia will work for pictures as well? Please someone post the CredentialManagerService.apk from DoomLord's JB leak.

I just flashed this kernel. Then followed this guide. Just clear data for Download Music Info and copy the attached file to system>app with correct permissions, then reboot.

Yes, but only for video(using the stock movie app). Pictures are still without BE.

I tried the CredentialManagersService.apk from DoomLord's leak but it doesn't work. BE still works for movies but not for pictures, it also breaks download music info(it says security error). The file is not for our device, it's not even recognized under Settings>Apps as installed.

As far as i can remember, unlocking bootloader never affected BE for video, BE only stopped working when watching photos in album app.
Be it stock ICS or JB BE works for video regardless of bootloader status.

CM10-nozomi issues

Hi.
installed FXP214 CM 10 and i have a couple of issues.
1.The illumination bar doesn't work.I tried all things,only thing that worked was installing the receiver apk and after i did that,it blinks,it doesn't slowly fade and it doesn't vibrate anymore.
2.Can't install anything,i tried installing a new lockscreen apk,did all the things i did with other roms(and worked on all of them) but on cm10 it won't install it. Same with installing new keyboards and many other apk and zips. It misses a lot of libraries.
3.The keyboard.If you're using english(US) the gestures work but if you chose any other language it won't work.
I rly want to make those work,it's one of the fastest roms for xperia s and has a great level of costumization but those issues really stink..and clearly it's something wrong since all other roms allow those changes.
Any way of fixing them ? Thanks in advance !

This is the rom I used: Cyanogen 10 FXP214 ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-r7KTvfNB-XZWt1Rkd1eVdoNXM/edit )
◦Wipe User Data
◦Wipe Cache
◦Advanced => Wipe Dalvick Cache
◦Mounts and Storage => Format System
Then install the system it should work.
also View attachment Increase_Brightness.zip This will fix brightness issue, and you need to install GAPPS also ( http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip )
Good luck

Hmm i installed it right,i did all that you said,you might have misunderstood me.
I can install apps,just that some,installed via moving to system/apps won't work.
I did all that,tried all ways and it still doesn't work.

Are you sure that you are still ROOT? Maybe something is wrong with the ZIP achieve.
I'd try reflashing the phone with flashtool back to stock firmware .55 I have tool for rooting the .55 if you want. And from .55 with recovery try installing CM10 again.

Of course it is rooted.Some said i can't install the unlock.apk because there's no such thing on CM10.
Another problem : my original headphones work but my Triton headphones don't anymore.They worked on the stock rom and KA Speed but not on CM10.

Some apps need different framework and other files rather than just the apk in system/app. For example, the walkman app from stock Sony ROM won't work on cm by just installing or moving apk to system/app because other modifications are needed to be done to get that working on cm.

How can i set the minimum brightness level on fxp228 to the lowest.
The minimum is now 20 and i just can adjust the maximum brightness in /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight.
Can someone help me?
And I don't want to enable auto brightness or use apps I want to modify build.prob or some data where it is written.

So deinstall whatsapp and reinstall maybe delete data in app settings...
If it doesn't work you just can wipe cache
