Nice to hear that you are still supporting this phone. Thumbs up to you smokerman.
Sadly I already moved out because my Play was stolen.
Currently I have the Oneplus One. Hope to see you there in the future.

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.

 

[denisfgn]

Nice man.... What's as bugs?

 

[smokerman]

its stable enough for daily rom..but better if you guys see the video..only thing not working for me is camera..but on video i say somethings to get a better experience and some advices when you run the rom..battery drains fast also, kernel is not optimized as can be..but try it if you want..to get back to another rom or kernel is just fastboot the desired kernel and follow the installation steps that you use here for this rom..easy as that...

 

[SXAY]

When can we see the working camera?

indeed. Lolipop is even more powerfull than kitkat.

 

[erwinstyd]

which one should i choose for rom and kernel
is this ? " cm-11-20141224-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-zeus.zip " and "cm-11-20141224-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-zeus.zip.md5sum"??


thanks

 

[Lordomn]

the md5.sum is just to verify that it matches the downloaded rom which is a lot bigger in file size. so just download the zeus.zip

 

[smokerman]

@saqibkhan send me the files by pm please.

MIUI 6 its almost impossible(doesnt mean it cant be done, Lets see)..its heavier than MIUI 5 and 512 ram is low..with my MI 3 running MIUI 6 kitkat 4.4.4 and 2GB ram i have usually 500mb free..even MIUI 5 latest versions we have less than 100 free ram..and believe me , i ve tested a lot..thats why i recommend version 3-7-12 full to have a great experience and play games in xperia play, latest versions (3.9.27 is the last i ve updated) its super heavy and buggy..

I'm getting myself an Xperia Play in the coming days, but heard that ROMs based on the 3.4 kernel (including CM11) doesn't support the slide-out gamepad... Is that true?

Game-pad works but touchpads do not, only d-pad and buttons. Full gamepad compatibility is only possible on Gingerbread. On ICS touchpads work for most games. Since CM10 there have been efforts to have touchpads fully working but it has not been possible due to a lack of official Sony drivers for it.

 

[smokerman]

Let me add something..touchpads and gamepads working on GB,ICS and JB..problem is many games for optimized for xperia play only support 100% GB..anyway we can play many games in JB and its still my favourite roms for xperia play..but for hard gamers than want the full experience is better GB..even so if you see my video review of kitkat on xperia play, i ve played super fast and smooth with gamepads..touchpads doesnt work at all.

Oh, that's okay then. Games I play don't require these touchpads anyway. Gotta see how this goes.

does it work with android wear? it should right? Android wear requiers 4.3. Does bluetooth work?
Any chance that data will work in the near future? What about oc?

If you're going to use android wear then I'd recommend a new phone that is Bluetooth smart ready (low energy) which is Bluetooth 4.0 and up
