Hi all, first thread but feel its required.
I was a webos user before moving to Android, i jumped because i loved the concept, i love my xperia play for the main reason its a phone and a gaming one at that.
I had rooted my play using gingerbreak but since updating its gone ( i except that) I do not want to root 2.3.3. by unlocking the bootloader as i'm uncomfortable with the process.
Baring that in mind can any light be shed on my issues below?
My issues:
Everygame i have played seems to jerk, is anyone else experiencing this?
1. Games - I use a load of tools like free memory Cleaner, Accleaner etc, which all do a good job but my games still jerk. (is this a ram leak issue?)
Is there any apps better for this purpose.
2. Memory - its a problem ( i have over 25 games plus apps) i use Apps 2 SD which again does a good job however i have 37mb free on my internal memory.
Again any apps better for this purpose
3. Gameloft - I have many gameloft games (hate the system and the company but thats another thread) my issue is, is there a website which tells you the current version of each game?
Updates don't always pop up when starting a game, a few times I've had to reinstall a game to get an update (latest being Rainbow 6). I ask cause my version of Nova 2 which is 1.0.2 still does not work but i don't know if this is the latest version and i am receiving no pop up.
4. Play launcher - Seeing some videos of plays in america shows playstation 1 games in the xperia play launcher, is this possible in the uk? or is there an update coming?
would like this alot better.
Any help is much appreciated.

You may have a cheap memory card. You may want to buy a bigger and better one anyway.
Is there any apps better for this purpose.
2. Memory - its a problem ( i have over 25 games plus apps) i use Apps 2 SD which again does a good job however i have 37mb free on my internal memory.
I use the same app. There is a better one but you need to be rooted. I think it is called Titanium or something.
3. Gameloft - I have many gameloft games (hate the system and the company but thats another thread) my issue is, is there a website which tells you the current version of each game?
Market games can be updated through the market. Gameloft games update when you launch them.
Updates don't always pop up when starting a game, a few times I've had to reinstall a game to get an update (latest being Rainbow 6). I ask cause my version of Nova 2 which is 1.0.2 still does not work but i don't know if this is the latest version and i am receiving no pop up.
4. Play launcher - Seeing some videos of plays in america shows playstation 1 games in the xperia play launcher, is this possible in the uk? or is there an update coming?
In Canada we have a PSX launcher called pocket. It looks like the Playstation one but is foe PSX games. It is very stupid to have 2 launchers.
Dear All,
I was peacefully playing many Gameloft games like Spiderman HD, Asphalt 6 etc on my CM 7.0.3 (all of them legal and purchased).
But, since I wanted deep sleep on my NC, I finally switched over to Nightly 171 and while the battery life went up leaps and bounds, the Gameloft games stopped working - Spiderman HD just closes without any message, Asphalt 6 gives a FC error.
Will really appreciate if somebody can point out what has changed from 7.0.3 to Nightly to make this kind of error happen ?
P.S. Have already done the regular tricks - re-download whole game, wipe and re-install etc etc
I think there was kernel update in the nightlies.. As i undertand it change the way the hardware is used by Android. Like news GPU drivers (wich seems to be not compatible with GameLoft games)
Hello, As you all probably know the space for install files, basic settings etc is an issue for the Xperia PLAY; Other, newer phones out there have better space for installing applications, settings and images.
I use my phone for everyday use, along side another (X-Play) for my work life, (I love seeing peoples faces when they realise (If I can paraphrase) "I can haz games Consoole") I use my main phone, which in this instance is from herein "Phone-A" for every purpose from listening to music whilst jogging/at the gym, Texting, calling, "pinging" on various chat programs, editing documents, looking at pictures, surfing the net to Games and even occasionally taking photos.
Phone-B however is used solely used for making phone calls, emails and texting. Which Isn't much of an issue as its solely used for Work. I replaced that dreaded Wildfire when I had the funds, thank god.
My issue is that on Phone-A I'm having "Insufficient space!" messages almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. I've done everything I can bar deleting apps that I Use on a regular basis (Games, Music player etc) heres a list of the applications installed below;
ROOTED, 16GB Card
Homescreen - Nemus Launcher - 2.73Mb
Games -
SIMS 3
BRUCE LEE
CRASH BANDICOOT
BIA2
MODERNCOMBAT2
DRAG RACING
BIA2 FREE HD+ (??)
GT FREE+ HD
BLOOD AND GLORY
R6 HD
BFBC2
ASPHALT 6
NFS HOT PURSUIT
GTA3 10YR HD
ZOMBIEVILLE
MINECRAFT
Music - MIXZING - 8.11Mb
Web - DOLPHIN HD - 11.94Mb
I'm Rooted and not afraid to use it, if you can let me know of some files and applications to remove (Preferably non of the games, apart from GT,ZOMBIEVILLE & BIA) I don't mind doing it.
If you can also give me an alternative to the home screen, music player and webbrowser which are lightweight and yet still have full functionality that would be great! Music is a big part of my life, headphones go everywhere with my (I travel alot) I spend alot of time in the desert (Afg'n, iRagg) so these phones are sturdy and yet still VERY powerful in there capabilities.
I know theres alot of games but Hey, its a gaming phone why not game on it?
I have however removed some pre-installed crap that came on it but now I'm looking to lightweight my kit as I do my full kit when I'm working (I work in Close Protection, so a good phone is essential )

For the love of God, man... move them ****s to SD!
Also learn basic ADB navigation so you can move more to your SD card with the setInstallLocation 2 command.
Then check out THIS SAFE LIST so you can debloat your phone.
Do you have 2.3.3? If so, ditch that **** for 2.3.4. It's a difference as drastic as having a base of 250MB compared to 2.3.3's 180MB. It saves you a lot of pain in the ass dalvik-cache insanity, and FTF installers are too easy to use to take any BS.
With this checklist knocked out:
• Get FW 2.3.4
• ADB setInstallLocation 2
• Root
• Debloat
I've been able to cram 205 apps on this puny 400MB internal storage phone, and still have 140MB left.
Holy God damn, i'm running 2.3.2 I didnt even check :/
I just downloaded ZEAM which is 325Kb, which I'm happy with. But the above listed files, err Dolphin and Mixzing.. Err that is on Card!
I've DEBLOATED, Rooted but what is this ADB setinstall2? Is it moving apps from Phone to SD, like I can do in SuperManager?
If I update to 2.3.4 will I loose root?

ADB setinstall2 moves apps to SD automatically when installing i think
You will lose root if you use flashtool to update but OTA (over the air) you wont, even if you do lose root you can get it back easily using superoneclick
If your so worried about space why don't you partition 1gb off the card and use that for apps using Link2SD from the market, that saves phone memory and you'll never have to worry about space error messages again
I'll do a partition in a while, but at the moment I'm doing an OTA update.
I just had a Sh*t scare, looked down at my phone (On charge) and the blue update bar had disapeered and then the screen went black. Its back now though..
I always go with OTA, never touch flashtools unless I know what I'm truely doing (Give me a games console or PC any day!!)
Right so I've tried 3 times now Im getting a "Software could not update" message and its still not doing F'all So im stuck on 2.3.2 untill I can figure out why...
You probably deleted a system app/file. It won't update if that's the case. Just use flashtool. Get the .42 firmware put it in the firmware folder in flash tool, put phone into flash mode, flash, done. Easy
I ended up using the official Sony companion thingy bob, one word for this situation.
SNAFU.
Lost ROOT, added all sorts of crap included FIFA, star battalion, support etc ahhhh FUBAR.
Flash tool it is then if it can root..
EDIT:: I CAN HAZ R00T! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859, done done done! Thanks, Cool guys
Well done, pat on the back
Gratz to figuring it out. However, all this could be avoided in the future if n00bs would actually check out the threads already posted to see what options they have before posting. Just sayin'.

Installed this game in several rom's but it's still not launching.
Before, plants vs zombies also didn't launched after installation, but i've changed my stock rom to custom, and now it's work perfect.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Hi guys,
I just installed WIUI 2.6.15 on my precious defy (red lens). The ROM itself looks awsome and everything runs smoothly than ever.
only 2 bugs I can't figure out:
1. My market FC's while browsing some apps. If I try over and over again it might actually work from time to time.
2. All of my apps work prefectly. EXCEPT for games. When I open any game, it'll show me the loading screen, begin to show me the next screen and just as the image shows it goes BOOM: the game restarts, goes back to the loading screen and looping again and again untill I terminate the process.
I tried finding a solution for days, and I'm desperate... Any ideas?
THX A LOT!
edit:
BTW, if it helps, the games i've tried so far:
Draw something, Blood & Glory, Yoo Ninja
Fruit Ninja - dunno if this helps, but fruit ninja works after installing CloseFeint app
