EVERY Gingerbread user NEEDS Gamekeyboard - Xperia Play General

In an effort to move attention from the ICS thing that people are getting annoyed about, I just want to draw attention to Gamekeyboard by LocNet (I know theres a thread about it on Themes and Apps but im not certain how many people venture there).
Its the most amazing thing Ive ever used on the Play. For those of you that dont know about it, it allows you to optimize any game for the Play controls. Take X-Men Arcade for example, or the first 3 Zenonia games. It acts as its own seperate keyboard however so you need to dedicate a hardware button to switch between the gamekeyboard and its own in-built texting keyboard (not as intrusive as it sounds)
Accelerometer games can be changed to work with the D-pad as well So any racing game that isnt Play optimized will now work with the gamepad.
Best of all, its cheap...VERY cheap
I know I cant get people to part with their money but any Play gamer worth their weight in salt NEEDS this.
If anyone who uses this has some good configuration files for certain games, feel free to upload them (.gkp file can be renamed for ease of use...like xmenarcade.gkp)
probably gonna have to dropbox them though

There are a couple of threads trying to get people away from ICS. Obviously no one cares about these threads. They want ICS. This doesn't effect anything.

I couldnt get it to work on them due to the O button acting like the back key. If you want to use it (I highly recommend it) then flash down to Gingerbread

How can i create a map?

how to do that? couldnt find an option for it

Can someone try this circle button fix on cm9/playosp/aokplay and then tell me if this will work? Also, will this allow touchpads to work too?

This is so not cool! I previously emailed the author about Gamekeyboard not working in the other Dos Emulator, and he was adamant that the problem was in the other dos emulator and not his app. Very sneaky behavior if you ask me.

I have a problem with GameKeyboard 2.1.1... I waited for this kind of app to android for a long time, and now i am really close.... But the thing is... I can use the directional pad OK in PES 2012, but I can´t make work the buttons A, B, X and Y. I Tried Button Mappings but it doesn´t have any effect. Could someone tell me why ... has a solution or maybe a tutorial to indicate me....
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks for the atention.

Xperia play problems with gameloft

After gaming on any game that looks like it's putting use of the cpu and gpu will cause the phone to malfunction.... 15minutws or so into gaming the analogue pads on the gaming controls stops working. The power button becomes non responsive, vibrate stops working, wireless bluetooth and gps also stops. I need to restart the phone by pulling the battery... I'm wondering if anyone else has these issues... Using 2.3.2 from rogers

havent have that proplem but if i try to play star battalion it loads up and just crashes & closes everytime. already had one replaced because it did with more games but its just star battalion now, ive accepted it anyway dont look very good
Before I return the phone... Does anyone experience the problem where the power button doesn't work anymore?? Right now I'm not sure if it's only the cracked gameloft games that are causing the problem...

They were xperia play versions... Read my posts its the problem that occurs after 15minutes of playing the game. Gameloft would be able to read that thus site doesn't supply or encourage cracked games. Not all my games are cracked and I liked Rainbow 6,I was going to buy it of it wasn't for the problem

Honestly I really like sony ericsson... I always used them... But the s2 is a lot faster... I did the benchmark test last night and it was at 2100,the s2s are at 6000... Huge difference even though I don't know what the numbers mean... I'm just afraid that developers will abandon this phone..... Sony themselves arent really backing the phone.. They rather spend money on real consoles
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
The 6000+ scores in the SGS2 are bogus, they are the result of exploiting one of Quadrant's many bugs by dishonest ROM makers. Check the VillainROM thread in the SGS2 subforum for details. Aside of that, Quadrant doesn't register the dual core properly, and is not cery reliable in any case.
There are many reasons to acquire the GalaxyS II (dual core, the SAMOLED+ screen, TouchWiz for some people...),but Quadrant is not one of them.
Ah thanks for being so informative... I'm going to exchange it for another play tomorrow.

Same for me, just clear market Data and cache in the manage applications menu and reload the market. Then search for GTA 3 and it should be like the 2nd or 3rd app in the market search,
Although I can say it doesn't run smooth enough for me on the shift to play it. Works great on A100 tho

Once I clocked it up to 1.6ghz I played with it for another 30 minutes , and I can say it played better at that point (was playing at 1.4 before). Although there still were noticeable framerate drops alot of the time, but it was alot better than getting 10 frames a second 70% of the time.
At 1.4 there were times that the sound would keep cutting in and out, and I probably got 1-2 fps. Most of the time it was when I hit other cars or started speeding as fast as I could. (thats what GTA is about tho right? xD)
Keep in mind too I was on Sense so that may make the experience different from AOSP users.
So, I bought the game when they first launched but never downloaded it, when I tried to download it my device wasnt supported anymore lol so I had to google it up and found version 1.1 apk and I had the issues like the ones described in this post already.
Luckly enough a couple days ago the apk got updated to 1.2 and all I can say is that is very playable if you are in my situation you just need to download the apk (google it) I had installed the SD files already ( the ones for adreno gpu) because I actually bought it.
But if you want to try it you can get the sd files too from the black internet market :0
Im running Supreme sense, dodge kernet at 1.6 on demand, I bet the version 1.2 runs way better on a AOSP room plus you can use an external controller, but still I'm already progresing thru the game almost to the second part of it.

Yeah, I have it on the A100 too, its runs like a beast, I can't say for my shift though, since I'm waiting on a replacement. On my A100 though, the buttons don't quite scale right, making movement a little wierd other than that, fine though. Someone on AOSP (a mostly clean, not bloated AOSP) should try it and see how it plays.

Just tried that wifikeyboard and seems to work well for me. hopefully it is what the OP was looking for too
I use it to get cheats in gta 3 ;p
There is this... haven't tried it.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...blet-android-phone-your-pc-other-android.html
And other than that I have a Microsoft keyboard that has a little 2.4 ghz dongle and it works great. Mouse works too. If you really want the keyboard-tablet experience. Lags in not-native roms.. perfect in gmail, talk and a few others.. My two cents.
And of course there's always the transformer..

Jetpack Joyride ADDICTIVE GAME Works for P500!

Jetpack Joyride gameplay
Jetpack Joyride allows you to play as
Barry Steakfries, a rather annoyed
bureaucrat who runs wild in his science
lab dodging dangerous objects like
zappers, missiles and rays. Barry is aided
by a jetpack powered by mini gun
propulsion. Gameplay is pretty basic
following the ‘run, elevate and dodge’
principle. The catch is, the game
continues to become speedier and hence
more challenging for you to keep pace.
You can tap anywhere on the screen to
allow Barry to lift off. There are a range of
items to collect while on the run including
slot spin tokens that reward you with
extra coins, a boost on the next run or
even a second chance. Collecting a
rainbow-coloured gear icon symbolises
various vehicles and suits such as Gravity
suit, Teleporter, Profit Bird, Mr.Snuggles
and more. YOu can always customise
Barry’s look and gadgetry from ‘The
Stash’ menu. These include armour,
gadgets and jetpack upgrades amongst
other cool stuff.
Get it from Here!

[Q] Gaming on nexus 7 with joystick(gamepad)

ive seen many vids playing games on nexus 7 with ps3 or 360 controller...
but when i tried to play with a normal gamepad(non branded controller) only navigation was possible for me..
why??
should i use any app??
or is it possible only with those 2 controllers!!!
rooted and im on cm10.1...
that is because of lacking keylayout files .
connect your controler to your pc ,see what the vid and pid is.and make you own keylayout file named like " Vendor_046d_Product_c294.kl",the *.kl file contains key value pairs .

Or use USB/BT joystick centre + Joystick server.
