Don't exaggerate, if the Matrix Trilogy has taught us anything then we all know we can beat the terminators.

Well, I was talking to nick about it yesterday and it's like he said: Xperia Play development is already a bit dead until Sony will release a new firmware or jellybean will come.

I've been switching between this and aNEOS v2 and I kind of prefer aNEOS because I fixed root (Can't seem to get root working on this) and ermm it has that sexy Xperia S style lol, But yeah I constantly keep switching between these two... can't make up my dam mind lol
I don't know if this has already been said but for those who still have the status bar issue try installing KA 14 rom v2 without the battery % icon option. It worked for me
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
Dear Play users,
This rom is based on latest ICS stock fw. Unfortenately I have to stop development for Xperia Ray. The only one I'll keep updating is the one for Xperia Neo. Users which are willing to port my rom to Ray, Arc or Play are welcome.
The reasons I have to stop development here:
- I develop alone for 12 devices
- I'm focusing on 2012 line now
- I don't have the time to do this anymore
- Other reasons related to personal life (school, work, girlfriend, ...)
Thanks for understanding,

Ok. Seems how no one else has done this recently here is a an actual list of things that work and things that don't as well as bugs.
Works;
WiFi
Data
Touch screen
All the general phone features except for those in the bugs section.
Not working
There isn't anything that flat out doesn't work except the PlayStation pocket app and crash ba
dindicoot
Bugs
Phone randomly unlocks and plays a song at a random volume.
Keyboard and auto correct are dumb as ****.
Keyboard in the browser doesn't always come up, only fix is a a reboot.
Messages in the text message app don't always appear.
Lock screen music player doesn't seem to correspond to any music app
Status bar isn't always accesible from the lock screen.
Trying to select text in this window makes the cursor wig out an fly everywhere
Sometimes you'll be typing then the cursor will jump to the top of the text making you type into words
Trying to copy and paste in the browser is about as easy as picking a granual of sugar off a piece of dog crap while wearing boxing gloves
There are other things so I'll update later. I'm sorry for the people that dont like this but if I install a Rom that says bug free and I find this many bugs, I'm gonna say something.

Ah thats good to hear :good: Other than those few things, and the root (or su priviliges) dont work on every single app, they will work in titainium back up but not root browser. Other than those things, I love the ROM, you did a really great job
Easily the best ICS ROM I have had the plesure of flashing 
Granule of sugar-dog crap-boxing gloves? So you are saying its possible? Haha, We love a challenge here at XDA. Lol

==Installation instructions==
Important! Only for unlocked bootloader
Sony recommended to flash the ICS rom only if you are on .62 firmware with .64 baseband, but in Neo and Arc forum there are users with other basebands and a working rom (with minor problems mostly)
- Copy KA13_Ice_Cream_Sony_Play.zip to the root of your sd-card
- First download the kernel of your choice
- rename it to boot.img and place it in the same folder as your fastboot files
- Open a command window in the same folder and type: Fastboot flash boot boot.img => Flash the ICS kernel
- [stock kernel] hotboot any custom kernel: Fastboot boot boot.img => boot into ICS custom kernel
- Boot your phone into recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Advanced => Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Flash zip from sdcard and flash the rom
- Reboot your phone and enjoy
I am not responsible for damage to your device, use at own risk!
