[Q] nooby need help about 2-Way In-Call recording

Hi guys
i'm a bigginer in this forum , and i badly need help , since 2006 i used nokia phones , they cames with native 2-Way In-Call recording ,but a month ago i bought an xperia arc , and it only record calls from microphone , i hope that you may help , otherwise i think i'm gonna sell my phone and buy a nokia . I need call from both sides , just like stereo mix in windows not just recording from microphone , i tried all applications but there is no result .

Probably look up the guides, about unlocking the bootloader and flashing CM 7.2, i think the latest release supports 2 way recording. You will Void Your warranty.

You need doomlords kernel, v15 for stock rom or v3 for cm7 rom(they're in different threads),& the app mentioned in them. Therefore you'll need an unlocked bootloader...

thanks for your quick reply , but what is doomlords kernel ? and what is stock room ? can you show me how to do or give me a link .

You can also try with CM 7.2 FXP047, which support two-way call recording.
You can find the ROM here: {ARC/ARC S}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM7.2.0 - FXP047 FreeXperia Project. To install it, you need Fastboot & ADB, both included in the Android SDK. Copy the Update ZIP to your SD Card, then flash the kernel, enter CWM, install the update, perform a user data wipe, and then reboot.
Then, you need rVoix to enable call recording. You can download it from rVoix Project Page
Let me know if this worked for you.

thank your for you reply , but i have 2 problems , first , idont know where to download these things , and second , i dont knwo what is fastboot , and how to flash a kernel .

Please go to the android development section and read the stickied posts.

how to restore the original software xperia play?

hello people of XDA, today I come with a problem I emerged.
Following the appearance of new Xperia play ICS beta install decided to see how it worked, so I have to unlock the bootloader, in doing so I find that I can no longer update but my computer from SEUS.
I would ask for a solution to this problem, my back your original software XPlay, and to continue updating it with no problem
I leave the details of my Xperia Play:
Model: R800i
Android Version: 2.3.4
Compilation Number: 4.0.2.A.0.58
I'm from Mexico and I hope I can help.
Note: Only provide if you have tried this solution and are 100% that it works.
thanks

look for flashtool and a stock .ftf file for your version. This helped me alot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294129

- download/install latest version of flashtool
- flash 4.0.2.A.0.58.ftf
- optional (flash doomlord's kernel and wifi modules/links are in my signature)
- restore your backups
- reboot
- back on stock 4.0.2.A.0.58

Please let me complete information, step by step to follow, and the link to download the necessary files, please
thank you all for your answer

Would a stock rom restore Crash Bandicoot and Bruce Lee?
Not that I'm too concerned about playing them but being a noob with an android phone I've kinda deleted Bruce Lee (even though it still appears as an icon). I was wondering if I re-apply a stock rom for the Xperia Play would the rom file include the two included games: Bruce Lee and Crash?

Depends on the FTF file.

I've been playing around with the different SONY Ericsson stock ROMS after I did a test for the ICS ROM and some of that include Bruce Lee, but Crash Bandicoot should be included because Crash is pretty much the only playstation pocket game available when they released the phone. Hope this helps, and also there are links to all 3 different versions of the 2.3.4 Gingerbread ROMs if you go to the xperiagamer .com website and then select rooted zone, stock ROMs and choose 2.3.4 as it's the latest and choose the correct one,
Note the main 3 are for R800i and the other R800a.
Also there are guides on how to get things to work on this site, Ive used it for most of my needs.
Hope this helps.
IMaKitch

Thanks ImaKitch,
I think it's just OCD - i either want Bruce Lee on there or not at all. The fact that his icon appears on my dash niggles me - enough to flash it and start again.

If you use SEUS with an unlock bootloader, your phone will brick. To relock your bootloader, flash the ftf file here. DRM can't be restored though.

[FAQ] Xperia Play Frequently Asked Questions [WIP] [Updated 21st Feb]

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Sony Ericsson Xperia Play[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please feel free to PM me with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Why isn't Flashtool working?[/SIZE]Make sure you have installed the drivers that are included in Flashtool. Make sure you are flashing the correct FTF for your device and make sure your phone is in the correct mode, fastboot or flashmode. You can refer to this guide for more help "How To Flash A FTF Using Flashtool" or "Little Flashtool tutorial".​
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my device?[/SIZE]This depends on what firmware you phone is currently on. If the phone is below "xxx.xxx.62" then you can use the ZergRush exploit via superoneclick or flashtool. If the device is on "xxx.xxx.62" or above then you will need to downgrade or unlock your Boot Loader and use a auto-root kernel. Here are 2 useful tutorials "Root Firmwares Below '.62'" and "Root Any Firmware (Unlocked Bootloader)".​
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How do I unlock my Boot Loader?[/SIZE]This also depends on your device, If it is a unbranded (has no carrier applications or branding) device then you can unlock it using sony's website. Unlock Bootloader Sony. Here is a useful guide that will help your determine if your device is unlock-able via the previously mentioned method "Unlock Xperia Play Bootloader (Un-Branded Devices)". If your device is branded or not unlockable via official methods then you can pay to have your boot loader unlocked by XDA Senior Member "Alejandrissimo" via PM or at his site "Paid Xperia Play Boot Loader Unlock".​
[SIZE=+1]Q5: Why should I unlock my Boot Loader?[/SIZE]The main reason you would want to unlock your Boot Loader is to be able to install custom ROM's such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, Slimbean and even more. You can also flash custom kernels with a unlocked boot loader allowing you to get additional features, "Turbo Kernel" is a brilliant kernel as it allows you to multiboot 4 ROM's and they can even be GingerBread, ICS and JellyBean.​
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What is ADB?[/SIZE]ADB is short for Android Debug Bridge it is useful for many things including getting logs, debugging and more. Here is a more detailed guide "ADB Guide"​
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What is the best ROM or kernel?[/SIZE]This is probably NOT a good question to be asking. Asking this question will most likely get you made fun of, and since it is against the rules, your thread or post will most likely be deleted. The best ROM or kernel will depend on how you use your device and what you are hoping to get out of it. So, only you can answer this question, have a little bit of fun testing different ROMs and kernels and then pick the set up that works the best for you.​
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How can I "Multi-Boot" my device?[/SIZE]The Xperia Play is now able to multiboot up to 4 ROM's and they don't even need to be the same android version, Jellybean, Ice Cream Sandwich and even Gingerbread is supported, For detailed information on how to multiboot your device visit this link "Multiboot Kernel (CosmicDan)" you can also get more information about multibooting here "Multiboot Guide and Help".​
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How do i install a custom Kernel?[/SIZE]To install a custom kernel you will need to have already unlocked your Boot Loader. You can refer to the "Flashing a Custom Kernel" Section of "Flashing a Custom Kernel and ROM" for more information.​
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is a custom Recovery?[/SIZE]A custom recovery is required for installing most custom ROM's, Xperia 2011 devices do not have a recovery installed by default. You have the choice of 2 recoveries currently, TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and CWMR (Clock Work Mod Recovery). Most kernels include CWM by default but some do have TWRP aswell.​
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How do i install a custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)?[/SIZE]To install a recovery your can either flash a custom kernel with the recovery already installed (Refer to above question) or use this "x-Parts CWM Installer" although it is in the ARC section it will work find on the Xperia Play.​
[SIZE=+1]Q12: How do i install a custom ROM?[/SIZE]The first thing you should know is that all Xperia 2011 devices including the Xperia Play are unable to flash the kernel via recovery and therefore the ROM And Kernel are installed separately. To install a ROM you will need a recovery installed on your device. You can refer to the "Installing a custom ROM" Section of "Flashing a Custom Kernel and ROM" for more information.​
[SIZE=+1]Q13: How do return my device to Stock?[/SIZE]The first thing to do would be to follow the "Flashing a FTF File" Tutorial. If you unlocked your boot loader you will also need to flash the FTF from "Relock Bootloader". This will put you phone back to stock ROM and Re-lock your boot loader.​
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What Rom/Kernel Should I use? (Question not to ask)[/SIZE]Please don't ask questions like this. This is down to you to decide. Try some ROM's and Kernels out and stick to the one you prefer. Don't forget you can install 4 ROM's at the same time using Turbo Kernel.
However You can find "everything you need to know about the Xperia Play here, It includes a list of most recent ROM's, Kernel's and more."​
[SIZE=+1]Q15: Whats the Best ROM/Kernel for Battery Life/Gaming/Performance etc.? (Question not to ask)[/SIZE]Again these are not the sort of questions you want to be asking. Try some out and see what you like and how each performs for your needs.​*​

FM radio

Hello,
I would like to know which ROM's are supporting FM radio and it's confirmed that FM radio is working?
Thnx ....

Hello!
I wanted to help answer your question...
I have an Ion with LOCKED bootloader (not able to unlock it - LT28at) but I have tried ALL (literally every one of them) the alternative ROMs offered for locked bootloader here on XDA.
MOST of the ROMs I have tried have had support for FM Radio. It's a very important feature for me so it's one of the first things I check when I flash a new ROM.
The ONLY ROMs that DO NOT support FM Radio are those based on CyanogenMod in any version. (CM9 or CM10, for Ions). This is true of the "pure" CyanogenMod ROMs as well as those that are modifications of them. It's a "known issue" of those ROMs.
It is also true, according to the forums, of CM for locked OR unlocked bootloaders; doesn't matter.
Hope that helps! If so, please click "thanks"! :laugh:
P.S.: There's one ROM that I tried that I never could get to load properly (bootloop no matter what I tried) so I'm not sure about that particular one: "Emerald Smooth ROM".

hi can i use roll back to JB from kitkat, if yes then please guide me step by step.
i was not aware that kitkat does not have walkman, xloud, bravia engine, digital sound. also most of the apps downloaded from google or other sites are not getting in installed.

Walkman is available to install on any ROM if you look for it. Bravia engine doesn't work on any phone with unlocked bootloader, rolling back to JB won't help you there, you need to relock the bootloader (search for "relock bootloader xperia s"). Xloud barely works, I'm sure you never put a decibel meter against your phone to measure the difference between Xloud on a stock ROM and the loudest setting on a custom ROM.
Guide to roll back to JB:
Search for a .96 based ftf file and install it with Flashtool.
Or even easier (recommended):
Use EMMA: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/. This will recognize your phone and automatically download the latest official firmware for it.
To relock the bootloader, I think the ftf file to do so is included in Flashtool (not EMMA, the unofficial Flashtool), there's an option in Flashtool to relock bootloader.

In the zip file downloaded from Sony for the EMMA application installation there are two additional files: a pdf (with instructions) and an ini file.
In the pdf there is a specific step advising you to copy the ini file to some location after installing EMMA. This step is required instead of the registration.

the topic was fm radio.
i tried installing cm10 and carbon on xperia acro s.
neither had radio. after reading the first answer, i tried finding another rom but before that i read the features of each one.. fm radio was never mentioned and after some more research it appears to be a big problem for developers since it is rarely mentioned not even as a but or in todo lists. i suppose few people miss it but for me is a must as i frequently use it for my running sessions.
I even tried spirit fm but it doesnt work for non stock xperia roms. (not for my acro s cm10 anyway)
any ideas?

hello,
does any fm app like sipirit fm work on beanstalk rom for ion ?
i really like fm radio
if it dosen't work, is that a bug cant be solved or its just a minor bug to be done in some day?
thanks

i found this rom cm-10-20131224-FXP-hikari.zip with radio app (google it to find the link, i m not allowed yet).. however the radio app crashes a lot, and it is much inferior to the stock radio..
and, being in the kitkat era, i d love to see a kitkat rom with radio that would also be stable...
ps. if i ever manage to post this, i think it is going to be my last post, the f...en captcha has beaten me!

Several doubts and some help! (newbie)

Hi everyone I'm new in this forum and I don't know anything about this smartphone world but I have some questions about my personal Xperia M. First of all I want to apologize for my bad english coz I hate web-traductors so I don't use them.
A friend told me I should install CM11 (Cyanogenmod If I remind correctly) in my smartphone coz it'd be better, I've tried to find some information in Google in my language coz I barely undertand the english technicisms for smartphones but I didn't fund anything so I decided to post in this forum.
I heard tha there is no official version for my smartphone and If I install an unofficial version this can broke my smartphone, is that true? Do you guys think that the CM11 is advisable for my Xperia? I want to know if It'll improve the performance.
How should I start If I want to install CM11 in my Xperia M? I'll let you some information:
Xperia M Android version 4.3
Xperia M C1905
Never rooted it (I dont how how to do it)

I am also a newbie to Android like you
Do you have a PC with you?
Then why don't you make root access on your phone?
About 75% of my installed apps requires root to get its full potential.
I am on XMD (2004).
otherwise I would help to root your phone.
there maybe many threads for rooting your handset (1905)

CM11 is one of the greatest option for the beginners i have ever seen!!!.Pros Are -
1. Extended Battery Life
2. improved performance
3. KikKat UI
I think you can go for it

& its 'cons' ?
I have heard that many options will not work with CM as it is still on beta stage! is it right?
also if I couldn't lock my boot loader, I will loose my warranty also.

no problem with CM. cuz you can always lock BootLoader via flashtool and there are some minor bugs ( No problems to the user with these bugs)
