Couple of quick questions...

How do i get Gtalk installed on this?
I tried installing a couple of apk's but it just force closes..
Anyone has a working version or a link to it?

Does the Play Game Launcher work?
It opens fine but shows no games or recommended games...

Would be grateful for any assistance here!

Here's a mod to add back Google Talk GoogleTalk[ICS++] :)

Does the Game Launcher just always say "No Content"?

Hey guys, got a really big problem :(

I'm using this ROM and loving it but have just encountered an issue.
I'm using the LocNet game keyboard for my games, and to use it I have to switch the default keyboard to the gamepad, meaning I have to deselect my standard keyboard I use for texting. I know you guys removed the option/notification of the input method in the notification bar but is there any way I could get the long press version or that one back? It's a pain that I paid for this app and don't get to use it :(

Thanks!

Hello all, just thought I'd share my experiences flashing this ROM.

I flashed over the Sony beta ICS with DoomKernel, all went swimmingly really and this immediately felt like a better, faster ROM.

I only have one question right now, and that is regarding the Wi- oh. Never mind. Wifi works. :D

Seems I had to reflash DoomKernel modules in CWM and reflash the Wifi-Enabler. :p

I've found myself a right strange bug.. Perhaps...

Randomly, sometimes after boot and sometimes after a bit of use, the 'taskbar/notification bar' at the top will disappear. You can still drag it down to reveal notifications however the bar itself when minimized will be completely black. It comes back randomly, and goes again randomly after that... :confused:

I'm running DoomKernel with the Stock Adreno drivers from the second post.

I intend to try using the mod that moves the clock to the left, and see if that helps at all.

Could anyone check if they are able to download games from the play launcher?
Or if anything is showing up at all?

Only your own installed games show up. Nothing else does. :)

...And omg wtf, all i did was open the Play Launcher, put it down whilst still open to type this message and now the phones just rebooted.. Sad times! ><

Loving the boot times though! Rebooted already.. >_>

The Notification bar is annoying that it sometimes takes ages to load but try using the stock bar.

    This is a custom ROM based on the official Xperia Play beta released by Sony. This uses a full AOSP theme, with the Sony framework, so it can still be used for gaming with the touchpads. The custom performance improvements should show a noticeable increase in usability and speed, but still keep good battery life.

    If you appreciate the effort or use this ROM, please thank both Atarii (this post) and thomassafca (post #2 below) as this is a team effort, with both working on it equally :)

    [ Update v1.2: ]

    The 1.2 update is now available! This should have great improvements to the speed and the stability of the ROM. The V6 SuperCharger script really improves the speed and smoothness and no more random reboots were experienced during the testing! This was due to a lower value we used for the DalvikVM (hoping to improve multitasking), but actually degraded it. We're really happy now with the speed of this ROM and hope you guys notice the change too! :)

    Included in this update is the new reboot menu, allowing reboot into recovery/fastboot from the menu. Hot reboot is a dirty method and not recommended ;p Also included is the HTC Sense 4 style recent apps menu. 1.2 update screenshots:

    P.S. Not sure if anyone got the 'bird' reference in the picture? It was a roadrunner in snow! Roadrunner = fast bird, snow = ice (cream sandwich). Fast ice cream sandwich ROM? Bad joke :p

    Thanks to evilisto and his mad modding skills
    Thanks to hitman980206 for noticing the DalvikVM hiccup!
