Are you sure you are using the android market? There are plenty of good and innovative apps.....plenty of games to. Maybe you are looking at some other app store? Or you have gone blind and can not see the app?

Now that just made my Friday!!!
What type of apps are you looking for?
Why don't you look around before drinking the haterade? Android market is definitely limited than Apple appstore but you can find a few diamonds.

Both are free and there's tons of cool articles on there and you can choose them.
The magazines are filled with ads. Wayyyy too many ads. And they're really expensive.

I am still shocked that if I am a car and driver and runners world subscriber for hard copy they still want me to pay for the digital one here too.

They need to understand that if they charge a dollar or two an issue people will gobble them up like they do physical copies.

Agreed, no reason to charge as much for an electronic copy. Reminds me of everything that occurred when music first started going digital, they are still using the old paradigm.
Uh, for car and driver and motor trend, the digital subscription was 12 bucks a year or two bucks a month. Buy two issues or buy a year??? Hmmm... -Ara

I moved Amazon.apk and Xbox smartglass to my nexus and they work. I thought I would post them as a solution for some people who are new to the N7. Is it ok to post them via drop box?

Pretty much if it feels like stealing, or smells like stealing - XDA is not the place for it.
Everything else (if legal) seems OK. XDA is pretty good at self-policing, and if needed the Big Guns come in.

Microsoft Smart glass is free but for some reason Microsoft did not mark the N7 as a compatible device.
Amazon app store and shopping app are both free. Not sure which one that second apk is.
Edit: misread the post but anyways, those two are not paid apps

Microsoft surprised everyone and released Smartglass early... so it IS available...
Works fine on Nexus 7, just download the APK above.
thanks for the apk!
The Amazon apk can be downloaded and installed normally via the Amazon App Store. For many, that would be a better option, as they'd still receive updates rather than having to try to keep up with sideloading newer versions.

I would love to see multi user on the nexus 4..I think it wouldn't be hard since it's already in 4.2... think it would make sense for doing different setups like different launcher, icon packs, theme etc..I wonder if it's just a line or lines of code to turn it on and/ or is any body up for the challenge!!?

Multi-user support is only available on tablets. Nokia has a patent on multi-user support on phones.
I am sure a build.prop edit can fix it.

Well its only for tablets, I think the reason for that being tablets are more family and sharing, whereas phones are a personal device. Why would you want to share your phone?

I don't see anything in build.prop specifically disabling multi-user mode. Looks like I was wrong.

Bored, trolling or no way to imagine use cases when multi-users may be handy?
If I want to show something to a client on my Nexus 4 (or any other device) without providing access to my apps and data?
or
If I'm willing to give it to my 3-4 years offspring for a video or a game, without risking my contacts, notes, mails?

This is the only reason I would need it, but it is a good one. If my 5 year old wants to watch a movie or play a game I wouldn't have to worry about her screwing up my home screen or deleting apps like she has been known to do.
I believe Paranoid to be the answer. That's if you don't mind rooting.
Great example above and the most used I'm sure.

Hello everyone. This thread is directed towards those who are good with taking apart the play and putting it back together and replacing parts. But anyone may comment their opinion.
First off where is the ram for the play stored in the hardware? By this i mean where is it located?
Can it be replaced with a larger ram storage disk or whatever its called to give the play more ram?
These are questions but im just using them to start the discussion so thats why i put it in general section.
Please leave your opinions and tell if this is possible.
WOULDNT IT BE AWESOME IF WE COULD INCREASE THE RAM SIZE? THE PLAY WOULD BE REBORN!
This was just a thought and i have no idea if its possible because im a newb when it comes to hardware so please dont call me an idiot and just tell me what you think. Thanks
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app
I also am not very good at hardware things but I think RAM is located inside the MSM8255 chip. The same for GPU and CPU. Everything is inside one chip.
So it's impossible to change the hardware and get more RAM. You would have to change the whole hardware-related things even including radio and bluetooth. Everything, just everything. With new chip this phone couldn't be named Xperia PLAY anymore. And you would have to reprogram everything.
phones are a little different you cant just swap things, you would have to get the ram files and flash them to a new chip which is probably as big as a baby rats fingernail and then solder it on if you want ill upload the xperia play schematic or link you to the thread I made which has it.
Cool thanks so its possible to do so?
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app
Well anything is possible really but the difficulty would be EXTREME also you would have to modify you Rom and kernel to recognize that chip as your ram chip.

Ya it was a good idea though bud
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
if you really wanna tune your xplay "just" replace the SoC with a better one (e.g. current gen snapdragon s3/s4, tegra 3, etc) and start reprogramming the software.
it is doable, but not really worth the effort if not done on a business scale, cause when you've done with everything on your own the chip gonna be as outdated as the xplay currently is.
I honestly think the RAM being this low was poorly thought out.

Because Sony is currently struggeling and will most probably be focusing on ps4 and psvita crossplay than taking risk with another platform.

Because the play was a gigantic flop lol it's a super niche market I believe they will make a new one in a few years. I find it funny when people say Sony is struggling lol Sony is a monster and is in movies computers phones every single peripheral tv's media and TONS of other stuff they could probably survive a total fail in 3 or 4 product lines lol.
