Good day, i don't see much for Z1C but there are a lot for Z1. Will the kernel for Z1 work with Z1c? i tried checking Doom but it doesn't provide info if it will work. Do you know other kernels? also it seems there is little development for Z1c because there are very few ROMS here.
Hm. There's at least a DoomKernel port for stock based ROMs and Pimped Kernel for CM based. And there's a lot (not as much as for other devices, but enough to have a choice) of ROMs. Did you check the correct forums?

I want to know whether someone is working on 3.x.x kernel for Xperia Play. Sony Ericsson will use the GB's 2.6.32 kernel in ICS. So, any answers (if yes then link) will be appreciated?
To make a kernel, you need source code, if sony don't make the kernel .... There is no source code to release.

I think most are going with Sony's released source, plus modifications. I don't think anything has moved up to 3.x kernel series yet. I know there have been some improvements, but the stability of 2.6.x has been pretty good for a long while. It is possible that CM9/FXP based ROMs may move to a 3.x kernel, but I haven't payed that close attention.
Any dev's or somebody who has payed close attention to the kernel setups want to comment?
I heard Sony has released a kernel building guide? Then we'll be stuck with 2.6.32 it seems.
Right, put this one to bed...
Porting the android kernel to your device, which is what Sony did, takes time, especially to get it stable. I don't see any problem in them using the .32 kernel in ICS at all.

Hi,
Can someone explain why it's not possible to use a AOSP/AOKP kernel with SonyEricsson based ROM's and vice versa? I know it's not possible but I'm interested in the technical reason.
Thanks,
Svanteson
Google about how a kernel works and what it is, then you will understand better.
A kernel is like a "connection bride" in your system.
All rom systems are not the same, therefore a kernel for aosp wont work on sony rom because it will "connect" wrong

I know how a kernel works and what it is. I know all ROM's are not the same. I know a kernel for aosp won't work on sony ROM.
What I asked for was the technical reason for it not to work. "It will connect wrong" is not a very good technical explanation...
Maybe it's due to the kernel modules? I guess they are located in the /system partition and compiled for a specific kernel version?

What would be weird: kernels working for several completely different phones. Why would a kernel like franco kernel, made for the Galaxy Nexus, work with Xperia Arc? Obviously the kernel has configurations and optimizations for a certain set of hardware, and if you completely switch the hardware it doesn't make sense to expect functionality.

I'm not talking about different hardware. I'm taking about an AOSP/AOKP-kernel built for Arc/s that don't work with a Sony Ericsson based ROM for Arc/s and vice versa.

Is there even such a thing as an AOKP kernel? Arccording to their own website, AOKP is "a custom ROM distribution for many Android devices". If you're asking why some ROMs don't work with some kernels, then the answer is simply that one or the other has dependencies/ways of doing things that are not supported by the other.
Well, I'm not interested in the simple answer because that I already know.
I have used a debian kernel with Suse on a x86 PC. Stupid thing to do, I know. It was a customer who wanted to try that in a specific setup.
But it booted up. Why is not a Sony Ericsson based ROM booting on an AOSP kernel?
Is it due to different kernel module versions, boot params and/or other things?
Perhaps I should post this in the devel forum instead?
Hi XDA devs and lurkers!
I'm new to both the XDA forums and flashing Android although I've been a 'regular' Linux user since '96. I've owned Zaurii etc so I'm not scared of the terminal, compilation etc but I don't know much about Android and its various spin-off ROM/distros. I own a UK, unlocked Xperia Play r800i thats still running stock .42 which I had to factory reset over xmas as it was misbehaving and now its time to get it updated or switch ROM but I don't know if I'm best sticking with the latest stock or going with an alternate ROM?
I'm not really a gamer and the xperia pad is really just a novelty to me that I use to show off to gamers with although I think it'd be a shame if I could no longer use the pad and sneak the odd N64, PSX or MAME game in so I'd prefer that to work. What I do definitely need to work are the standard phone functions, the camera and GPS/sat nav. Apart from that I want stability, decent battery life and speed like everyone else. I was planning on sticking with GB and stock or maybe a custom stock unless there are real gains in stability or battery life to be had from updating to ICS or JB.
I've wasted a few days now trying to use SE's update service and PC companion under XP, 7 and OSX on different machines and with different USB chipsets and with different cables and it didn't work under any config! This is why I said I'd never buy another SONY product is it? Actually it was when they stole Linux from the PS3 users who took advantage of that feature, maybe even bought it especially for that but thats another story! Anyway, because of this I have not been able to download the latest stock ROM which my phone says is now up to .79 but I've read .84 is out now too?
Does anyone have a working link for a .79 (or .84) FTF file? I have only been able to find .42 and .62 stock FTFs after spending most of the day yesterday looking. Otherwise, maybe I'd be better off with a custom ROM? If so, which one and why? There are lists of r800 compat roms in both a couple of sticky threads in these XDA Xperia Play forums and on the XDA r800 wiki page but none of these lists include any notes or recommendations.
I'm hoping some kind soul will take pity on my Android n00b ass and spare me days or weeks of flashing roms and trawling these forums by answering as many of my questions as they can?
Thanks for your help!

I dont have the ftf's but in your choice with ROMs, seen as u want something fast but still able to play emulators id recommend JB. ICS was ok probably CM9 & AOKP where the 2 ROMs I used. But you will need to flash farenheits touchpad fix.
Theres about 6 ROMs at the moment for JB. I use my own obviously which is PACman (mix of cm9, aokp,paranoid android and miui) but with the choice of multibooting I also have cm9 & AOKP in different slots which are accesible to boot through recovery at anytime. Also I added farenheiths touchoad fix into PACman source so no need to flash anything to fix it.
Choice is yours at the end of the day, but I find JB alot faster / smoother then ICS.

I use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682
Is the best ICS ROM that I ever try. But yes, JB is faster than ICS.
Thanks wedgess and nikiticos for your suggestions!
Last time I was looking into roms for my xperia the consensus seemed to be to avoid ICS or JB if you wanted a stable and fully working phone but it sounds like times have changed and its good to hear that my joypad should work under JB!
I like the sound of your rom wedgess so I hope to try that soon. I don't see any real reason to try any ICS roms but I'd still like some links to the latest stock ftfs and it'd be good to know what the best stock based rom is too as thats another thing I'd like to try. From these two responses though its sounding like there isn't much interest in GB roms any more?

Ye JB was very unstable back when it first came out. But I got camera working,CosmicDan got proximity sensors fixed and Farenheits touchpad fix so it all became better. Personally I stay away from ICS due to the fact of it been a RAM hogger. JB seems to deal with it alot better.
For both my own JB kernel and CosmicDans JB kernel you will need to flash the ftf in our kernel threads OP. Reason being they both use custom partitions which give 610mb in internal storage. In this ftf vendor partitions are unlocked. In other ftfs partitions are locked beside the r800x.
Id say try them out. Maybe take advantage of the multiboot feature which will alow u to boot between JB and ICS (cm9 based roms only). I havent used it personally but if I was to go back to ICS it would be either Sechkos port of ICS pureness or CosmicDans MIUI australia.

Is for the stability that im not using JB. The Stock based ROM that I mention later is the best that you can get with ICS. I'm using it with Lupus Kernel and overclocked to 1.2 (min 460) and also I erase many stuff with Link2SD because there are many garbage you really don't need. And I've got a great experience with this ROM. Give a try if you want, I recommend it.

Hi wedgess!
I'd like to have my first go at using flashtool tonight to flash your ROM but where do I download it?
This thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628197
Doesn't even list JB roms such as yours.
You can find any of my work by clicking on my profile -> statistics -> Find all threads started by wedgess
But to make it easier for you
- PACman ROM v5 thread here
You will need to flash this stock ftf first to use the kernels as they have vendor unlocked partitions
Theres also a link in PAC thread to LuPuS-v7 kernel, if you want to read up a bit on multiboot(recommended) or there is this great guide by fma
Put the PAC-v5.zip onto sdcard. LuPuS-v7 is inside the PAC ROM's .zip just extract the kernel.img from the PAC-v5.zip and flash the kernel.img in flashtool via fastboot mode.
Hi!
Any info for AOSP ROM (FXP, CM, AOKP...) for Wperia Z1c?

I haven't heard anything about developers working on it, but I'm sure it will come.
I will be building one if no developer get's interested sooner or later. Let's wait for the mean time as I'm a busy type of person in real life and have a lot of things in mind yet for Z1 Compact than building AOSP as I'm not a fan of it
Hi all. I've had my Xperia PLAY for a very long time now and tested many ROMs and kernels. I'd like to know what are good ROMs (and kernels that goes with it) to have a good gaming experience and at the same time, have access to some apps like "snapchat" (because on almost every ROM I tested, it has some very weird bugs).
Thanks for your answer.
EDIT: I think Gin2KitKat and Lupus v7 Gb/ICS is what I needed o/
