Are all changes by this tool reversible (e.g. I can return the tablet back to its factory condition). Also, does the tool to remove the ads on the home screen still work? I've got a Kindle Fire 7 2019 for my uncle and the ads just confuse him no end. My device: Kindle Fire 7 2019

Moto E 2nd Gen LTE questions: 1) Which is the best ROM for performance AND also for having enough space for apps? Is it still DotOS as discussed here? 2) If I root my Moto E 2nd Gen LTE and put a custom ROM, can I still play Mario Run?

I am really happy with my Moto E (2nd Generation) with 4G LTE. It came with Android 6.0. (UK model) However, Google keep on updating the apps and with each update, the phone runs out of space. I've disabled everything I don't use, but I've run out of stuff to disable now. I thought I could...

I have installed this rom. I can use it for about 30 seconds, before it restarts every time. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have an Amazon Kindle Fire 2nd Generation (Tate). A few years ago I installed the Pacman KitKat Rom. Recently I tried installing a few new roms. However I didn't like any of them because they don't have multi user support. So I decided to reinstall the Pacman KitKat Rom. I have installed...

My Kindle has a custom rom. I want to be able to access the system folder so I can edit the build.prop to enable guest users support (so people can logon to the kindle with a guest account and not be able to access my settings). How can I do this? When I use the file explorer, it only shows me...

Is there a way to enable guest user in this ROM? Thanks!

I wanted to download Smokerman's Slimbean ROM but the download links his post don't work. Looking through, a lot of ROM links for Xperia Play don't work. Is there anywhere to get them?

Just to double check: Is there a technical restriction that prevents multiple users working on Marshmallow (or later)? Thanks!

I am looking for a Marshmallow (or later) ROM that supports multiple users. E.g. So each user can have their own 'account' without other people being able to access it. This feature was introduced in Android Kitkat. However, all the Marshmallow ROMS for Kindle Fire 2 I have tried seem to have...

I installed this and it works perfectly. It's so smooth and fast. Except, I want to be able to have multiple users. When I click on the icon to view/manage users, I just get a blank screen. There isn't an option to add any users. Are multiple users possible?

I have an Amazon Tate and I am currently using PacMan Rom 4.4.4 which is KitKat. I am mostly happy with the performance. I mainly use the tablet for playing Sonic Runners and it takes a couple of seconds for the game to load each menu. I also use the tablet for web browsing. It takes about 8...

I am using an App that requires an ExFat SD card. Is such a format compatible with Xperia Play? Does it depend on the Rom you are using (I am using Gin2KitKat). If it is compatible, what is the best way to format the SD Card?

How do you enable Mass Storage mode in this ROM? thanks!

I nearly jumped with excitement then! It's too bad the Xperia Play source code wasn't released in those recent Sony leaks.

Thank you for all your hard work smokerman, you have been a real hero to the Xperia Play! Thanks also to mikeioannina for your continued work too!

Thanks for the advice. When I format it with a computer, what format should I select? Also, do I make the partition on the computer, or format it, put it back in TWRP and then make the partion there?

When I try to partition my SD card it says: "unable to remove partition table". How can I fix this? Also, I have a 64GB microsd card. What's the best swap and partition size for maximum performance.

Smokerman please don't give up your efforts. Many people value your hard work! You and mikeioannina are the saviors for our Play! (I know this thread is only for development, but I don't want Smokerman to quit!)

Is there a list of what works and doesn't work in this rom. Is it stable enough to be daily driver? Thanks to Smokerman for producing it and mikeioannina for all his work.

I recently purchased a 64GB micro SD card for my Sony Xperia play (it was the Samsung Memory 64GB Evo MicroSDXC). How do I get it to work with the Sony Xperia Play. It doesn't recognise it?

So I got one of these at the start of the year. Is it just my imagination or does it charge slightly lessen after 11 months? I could be wrong, but it seems to drain more quickly. Would love to know other people's thoughts.

Having a working camera would be awesome. Just imagine - Camera, gaming and phone all on one device with a speedy operating system!

Thanks for the awesome ROM kitchen. I think it's so amazing that you can change ROMs from the browser!

I've tried many ROMs but Racing JB is my favourite: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313458 All my favourite android apps run fast and snappy. I haven't tried any Android games (other than Sega's Sonic games), but all the 16 bit/8 bit emulators I use work perfectly.

Thank you so much! I installed the mini Gapps for your blog and it seems to be working now. Thanks! I am really please to see a new version of this rom, and I will be trying out when I have more time. This ROM is amazing: It's snappy and fast, well-designed, beautiful to look at, has working...

This rom is excellent and amazingly snappy, but not all Apps will install on it (e.g. Google Plus) even though these Apps are very basic and will work on other Roms (or phones older than the Xperia Play). If you download Market Helper you can force these Apps to install, but then you get a...

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/11/07/on-jelly-bean-4-3-kit-kat-4-4/ Please post a message on the Sony Blog asking for an update for Xperia play. Again, it's a long shot, but Sony do read the comments, so you never know. It will only take a minute to do.

Even if they are unlikely to listen, it only takes 2 minutes max to ask them, so it's worth a try. Anyone can spare 2 minutes. Also, I think the best strategy is to ask Google to force manufacturers to release source code, as they have a financial incentive to do so (as it will further their...

I think another good idea would to be raise this issue on "This Week in Google" (TWiG). TWiG is a podcast about Google & Android, that is often viewed by people who work at Google. I have made a post on the TWiG Google Plus Community...

I have contributed to the thread. I don't think it will do anything, but I think everyone should try. It only takes a second (and you can login in with Gmail and Facebook, so you don't even need to set up an account). You never know, if Sony gets a lot of requests, they will take action...

I have tried a few roms and my favourite for emulation is Racing Xplay with the Retro arch emulator. Some of the Snes emulation is a little bit jerky and the touch pads don't work, but overall this is excellent. The only downside of the ROM is that is has a bug, so not all apps from Google Play...

Got this working! You have to download and Flash R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World--stock firmware WORLD in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 It works perfectly then! Thanks for everyones help!!

The FTF I am using is the generic UK one. Is that the correct one to use? I tried going back to a backup I had made before all this started, but its the same problem (no mobile networks). Does this mean it is a kernel issue?

Thanks for your help. I live in the UK and have a R800i, so I have only being installing GSM roms. I have also tried via, flashtool, but same problem. It's weird, if I FTF back to stock, it works fine. It's just when I install a custom rom. I've searched really hard, but haven't found...

I can seem to access my mobile network when using a custom ROM: It always says no service. If I go back to stock, then I can access it but the moment, I install a ROM, it is no longer available. Background info: I got a brand new Xperia Play a couple of months ago and successfully installed...

I previously had the Pac Man Rom installed on my Xperia Play. I have now switched to the Racing XPLAY rom. I went to the Google Play store (via desktop) to re-download my apps. However, some of the Apps I had downloaded for Pac Man Rom are now marked as "not compatible with your device". (It...

Is the best way to go back to stock by using FTF, like this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390350787562963038 Will it work with Flash tool?

For fastmode, it just says device not found. Also, do I use the same Lupus JB Krenel V8 or a different one. Thanks!

Yes, My SD card was fine before. Do I re-flash the d Lupus JB Krenel V8? I am guessing I must otherwise I wont be able to restore my back up or use Pacman rom. Also, when I use Flashtool, I am guessing I have to click on the lightning bolt symbol and then select Flashmode (as fastboot mode...

Oh actually, I got into recovery by holding volume down. But I can't access the Super Jelly Bean on the SD card. Or restore my back up. If I use mount to mount the SD in Windows (via USB), windows says that SD card is not formatted. Should I format it in Windows? If so, what file structure do...

When I try to use Flashtool, it can't detect the device (I think it is because lupus is endlessly rebooting). How do I get it to detect the device?

I have UK Xperia Play. I had installed PacMan Rom and Lupus JB Krenel V8. Everything was working fine, except android.phone process kept on crashing, so I couldn't make calls/use the internet via mobile. I thought I would switch to the new Super Jelly Bean to get over this. I followed the...
