What did you have in mind?

We have to keep in mind that Gingerbread is only API level 10. It'll never look, perform or act exactly like the firmware/ROM on an Xperia Z.

Hi,

Is anyone having problems sharing via bluetooth? I can't seem to be able to send items through bluetooth.

I use this feature all the time. Sending files or connecting to my car, bluetooth works perfectly.

Have you disabled the Bluetooth services by any chance, in ES File Explorer (startup)?

If not, I have no idea why it wouldn't be working... What does it do/not do?

Yeah the settings and notification bar look like it but status bar and home need some changes to look More like Xperia z but the roms still awesome though

Hopefully the changes in the new version already fit the bill here. If not, let me know for the next version. :)

The aim isn't to make it look 100% like the Xperia Z. At the end of the day the Xperia Play isn't an Xperia Z, so I don't see any point in trying to mimic it completely. The Xperia Play still needs it's own 'uniqueness' apart from it's controller. :p

Well the rom looks great so far and I can't wait for the final version. Have you given sewar permission to port it because he said earlier hed try to port it for cdma? And your right about the uniqueness though xperia z does look sexy. Anyways I hope sewar is able to port for r800x id love to have this and other gsm roms for cdma. They all look awesome

Spizzy - but you are going to change pop-up after pressing menu button, right?

Also there is a tiny problem with toggles when they are turned off. Graphic problem to be precise. WiFi is outlined in white colour when most of the other toggles aren't, they look different therefore pattern of their looks is different. If you don't know what I'm talking about then don't hesitate to write it, I'll post edited screenshot with explanation ;)

If you press and hold the button it will load the Network Settings for you to be able to toggle it.

This is as good as it gets as I haven't been able to get the QuickPanel settings to be able to change the setting directly. (As it's a selection option and not an on/off switch)

Your rom is beautiful, BUT after you press menu button in stock launcher you can see the ugliest thing ever designed, seriously, it just ruins this astonishingly great look that you have created. Please, seriously change it to anything else which actually is nice to look at. Miui menu? JB menu?

I'm sorry if it looks offensive but I'm after watching one and a half season of top gear. :) I don't want to go rude or mean, I just want to express myself in the best way I possibly can.

It seems no one has tried to do this for the Xperia Launcher before, so I doubt I'll be able to do it 'easily'.

It would take hours to work it out, so whilst I will most likely end up doing this... It won't be ready for the next version.

Yes, I know this was long awaited and long overdue... But it's here now! I've got a few things lined up for the next version already which I was hoping to include in this version but unfortunately time is not on my side at the moment so it is what it is. The next update may be 1 - 2 months, I really cannot say - I've got loads of stuff on at the moment and won't be able to start work on the next version until June.

Until then, I'll of course give support as much as I can.

Also, please be aware that from now on (to ensure everything is working) I'll be releasing two versions of AuroraPlay for each update. A ULB version which is for those who have an Unlocked Bootloader, and a LB version which will be for those who have a Locked Bootloader. Both versions are exactly the same in terms of features however the Locked Bootloader has an older version of SuperUser installed which works perfectly without any issues for people who have locked bootloaders.

If you still want the latest version of SU but have a locked bootloader, simply flash the ULB version and fix it yourself if you can. :)

Download
As always, a format is highly recommended but is not required.

AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Unlocked Bootloaders) from NovaProject.co.uk
AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Unlocked Bootloaders) from MediaFire

AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Locked Bootloaders) from NovaProject.co.uk
AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Locked Bootloaders) from MediaFire

Also - I'm going to go ahead and admit that it was rushed towards the end. If anyone is unhappy with this (although I've not found any bugs as of yet) then please take it up with all the people who have PMed me asking for ETA's and release times etc.

    For locked and unlocked bootloaders

    Code: 
    Your warranty is now void...

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because your phone 
bootloops and your alarm does not go off. Please do some research 
if you have any concerns about features included in my ROM before using it! 
YOU and only YOU are choosing to make these modifications.

    For a 'Light Edition' of this ROM please see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2371539

    Features
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    I'll quickly mention a few of the features of this ROM... I highly suggest giving it a test-drive however! (See screenshots)

    • Xperia Z Themed With a 'Personal' Feel
    • After initial boot/install, ROM boots in around 3 - 4 seconds
    • Plenty of free RAM - Over 280MB!
    • Tweaked for increased performance (3G/Graphics/Sound/CPU)
    • Supercharged
    • Multi-boot aware
    • ICS Keyboard
    • All the goodies from the NXT LE ROM
    • AdrenoBooster Ready (Customised)
    • Init.d Support
    • CWM Ready
    • Compatible with Turbo Kernel
    • Compatible with Lupus GB Kernel
    • Compatible with Lupus Stock ICS/GB Kernel
    • Compatible with DoomKernel
    • Mobile Bravia Engine
    • Sony X-Loud
    • Other Sound Boosters/Tweaks
    • Swipe-to-Remove Notifications
    • Loads more... (Check Changelogs)

    Nothing! Again, as far as i know...

    Let me know if something doesn't seem to work as desired!

    Only known issues are that on first boot the Keyboard doesn't work. This is why the system must be rebooted after first boot for this to work correctly.
    Also - The camera app can sometimes not connect to the camera. This is because the SystemUI (Notification Bar) has taken control of it for use with the 'Flashlight' function. If you load the Camera a few times it will eventually work.

    Installation Instructions
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Unlocked Bootloaders
    1. Perform a Nandroid backup of your current ROM
    2. Install firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced from the downloads section below. (Only required if you don't already have it installed - This is used to get the right baseband and 420mb DATA partition.)
    3. Install DoomLord's V14 DoomKernel (See download section below) - the LuPuS GB Kernel is also compatible, and in some cases better than the DoomKernel.
    4. Perform factory reset (wipe Data/Cache) - If you had a GB ROM installed previous, you MIGHT not have to do this. However if the ROM isn't working right after install, it is recommended you perform a reinstall & factory reset.
    5. Format System (Mounts & Storage in ClockWorkMod)
    6. Flash ROM from the downloads section below
    7. Install DoomKernel's V14 Wifi Modules (Link in downloads section)
    8. After initial boot, perform an additional reboot to ensure everything is settled

    Krissdee - For his awesome initial NXT LE ROM and for allowing me to use it as a base for this ROM.
    CosmicDan - For his Multiboot 'Turbo Kernel' and numerous other additions/mods for the Play.
    Wedgess - His LuPuS GB Kernel is the perfect companion of AuroraPlay and is highly recommended.
    DoomLord - For his awesome DoomKernel which almost all GB users have used for litterally years now.
    Xperia Play Development Community - For never giving up.
    vokal1992 - For being a legend, and I used 1 or 2 apps from his Gin2JB theme in the earlier versions of AuroraPlay (v0.1/v0.2)

    As of AuroraPlay v0.4, the following additions are no longer included in standard versions of AuroraPlay - however can be optionally flashed to our device using the specified update ZIP.
    If you do not want any of the additions below, navigate to the specified folder in the ZIP and delete them.

    Apps Included(In system\app)
    • Clock Widgets

    Notification Bar - Centered Clock (Attached) - v0.1/v0.2 ONLY

    The method to center the clock that works for almost every ROM, refuses to work on this one! It seems to not be pulling the settings from SystemUI.apk


    Xperia S Widgets & Walkman for AuroraPlay - v0.1/v0.2 ONLY

    This will add the standard clock widget, digital clock widget, walkman app and walkman widget to your installation of AuroraPlay. (Working on adding Weather widget & more - defaults are not compatible with Holo Launcher)

    Transparent Status Bar for AuroraPlay - Must be flashed when installing ROM (If not requires Factory Reset) - Now included in ROM by default as of v0.2.

    This will make your status bar transparent, and also further to the transparency of your status bar when maximised.

    Yes, I know this was long awaited and long overdue... But it's here now! I've got a few things lined up for the next version already which I was hoping to include in this version but unfortunately time is not on my side at the moment so it is what it is. The next update may be 1 - 2 months, I really cannot say - I've got loads of stuff on at the moment and won't be able to start work on the next version until June.

    Until then, I'll of course give support as much as I can.

    Also, please be aware that from now on (to ensure everything is working) I'll be releasing two versions of AuroraPlay for each update. A ULB version which is for those who have an Unlocked Bootloader, and a LB version which will be for those who have a Locked Bootloader. Both versions are exactly the same in terms of features however the Locked Bootloader has an older version of SuperUser installed which works perfectly without any issues for people who have locked bootloaders.

    If you still want the latest version of SU but have a locked bootloader, simply flash the ULB version and fix it yourself if you can. :)

    Download
    As always, a format is highly recommended but is not required.

    AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Unlocked Bootloaders) from NovaProject.co.uk
    AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Unlocked Bootloaders) from MediaFire

    AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Locked Bootloaders) from NovaProject.co.uk
    AuroraPlay v1.0.0 (Locked Bootloaders) from MediaFire

    Also - I'm going to go ahead and admit that it was rushed towards the end. If anyone is unhappy with this (although I've not found any bugs as of yet) then please take it up with all the people who have PMed me asking for ETA's and release times etc.

    Update Released: AuroraPlay v1.1.0 Signed

    Code: 
    Note: This will be the FINAL major version of AuroraPlay. If anything is 
released after this these updates will contain minor patches and bug fixes if 
required, with the addition of any updated APKs released at that time. Until 
further notice, the continuation of this ROM project is on hold whilst I move 
on to other things such as the AdrenoBooster mod for ICS/JB and an ICS 
or JB ROM.

    Note: If you want to add your own stuff to the ROM or to /SYSTEM/ then please be sure to delete the 'odex' folder from the ZIP. This will disable the 'ODEXing' process during the installation of the ROM and will enable you to easily modify the applications and framework within the ROM.

    Build.prop Refresher (Also removes AdrenoBooster lines from original ZIP)

    I'll update the screenshots and first few posts soon and give the thread a general rehaul to make it look better. To 'Final' things a little more. xD

    Let me know what you think! As of this version I'll hopefully be introducing small patches instead of big updates, unless of course there aren't many bugs that are found and everything can still be done in one go.

    When I get to v1.0.0 I will be starting OTA updates, as I'm expecting the project to be almost finished around then so large updates will not be required.

    ...We'll see though!
