I have a AT&T Xperia Play R800AT and was wondering if the R800i Root method works on the Canadian R800A model? What build are you guys on? I'm very anxious to Root mine with the R800i method but was wondering if it's build specific? Thanks!
If you try I would try the gingerbreak method as it's more universal then using a unlocked bootloader and flash some firmware.
yep gingerbreak v1.2 works great did it to mine first day i got it
Hey thatsupnow - what did you do once rooted? Are you running Cyanogen? If so, how well does it work?
I've never installed modded android before, though I've jailbroken plenty of iPhones in my day:
1) Will my purchased stuff transfer over if I purchased it before Cyanogen? (
2) Does anyone know if PS Classics work on Cyanogen?
3) Should I even bother with Cyanogen, or just root my Xperia Play and be done with it?
4) What can I do once I'm rooted that I can't do pre-root?
Total, noob, I know. Thanks for any advice!

I've come from the Apple Scene as well so I'm pretty much new to this and only flashed a couple of android devices so far.
1) Samsung Vibrant
2) Samsung Galaxy Tab
3) Flytab (generic 7" ipad 1.6 android)
Whatever you purchase in the Android Market, As long as you login using the same google account you made the purchase with previously just like iTunes you can re-download your purchases for free. You can also browse the APK folder on your device and backup your .apk files if u wish as well.
Cynogen is a custom rom that tweaks a android device with better options and customization. To my knowledge I don't think you should flash the device right now since there is no "cooked roms" specifically for the Xperia Play at the moment. The android OS is pretty much universal on lots of platforms but just like any OS it needs specific drivers built into it in order for it to talk to your device and run correctly.
Think of Windows for example, in order for your new Graphics card you bought at the store to display properly on your PC you would have to install the device drivers first in order for it to work properly. If you don't you will experience vast side effects like only 256 colors 640-680 resolution etc.
In this case Android is like windows and "fragmented" because there are lots of IBM compatible PC's in the market today each with it's own different graphics cards, cd-rom/dvd and media etc. This is why Apple IOS mobile devices can see faster updates because they only have to develop for minimal devices.
I just picked up a Dell Streak 7 from my coworker that i've been toying with. It's definitely faster than my Galaxy Tab but I'm hoping in due time Dell or a awesome DEV will port Honeycomb 3.0 onto it. Reading threads people are saying maybe looking into the Motorola Xoom will help develop for the Dell since it uses the same Tegra 2 processor but again just like the above I mentioned, it's a whole different animal besides the Tegra and needs specific drivers. Look at the Nook Color with Honeycomb. I'm amazed at how well it's working but it still needs some work to be polished.
So yeah man, just root the phone and chill for the time being. Thats what I did for the moment although I would like to change a few things. Have you tried any home launchers yet and have you found a way to switch to Edge? I'm always on 3G and it would be nice to switch to EDGE so i'll have more battery life for games.
I have CM7 2.3 ROM on my TMOUS HD2.
Every time I start Let's Golf 3 HD, I get the notification "Your Device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund".
Is there any way to get this game working before I get the refund. I really like Let's Golf series and Let's Golf 2 working flawless. Is it because this game requires 3D display?
Asphault 6 crashes after the demo video and I can't get that to work as well. Any suggestion if you are running this game on your HTC Hd2!
Im not sure abt Lets Golf, but for Asphalt 6, it will definitely work. Did you download the correct version for your phone(for HTC Desire or Evo...etc)?...Ive tried it myself, but uninstalled it because it was slightly laggy.Its bearable lag,so its your choice. One more thing, is yours the android market version or...?
I tried both ways (Downloaded from Market and then partial download with Wi-Fi) and .APK download for Desire and copied Asphault6 folder to my SD card from a working handset. If you have already tried it and it was laggy then I'll probably stay around with Asphault6
I really like both these games on my friend's Samsung Galaxy SII so thought I'd also be able to play.
Can you try Let's Golf 3
Please find both .APK files if you want to give it a try
umm...i dont think you should post the apks here mate. Im not gonna give you any ideas and get into trouble,but the market version wont really work. Mine is not the market version. Hope you understand what im trying to say
what dpi you running the screen at?
I just bought it without any problems from the market. It's currently downloading levels so I'm waiting to see the performance on my phone. Oh... and for the posted APK's...? yeah... ibtl.
Hi, Is these working for any please?
Today i bought this for very low price from Good Market promotion, Market rejected first, I changed the device name as HTC Phone, could install then.
While opening it says your device is not compatible ask for refund and closes! :-(
Anyone could make it work and pass me how? lIke device name and DPI
for w/e reason it's not letting me find the app in Google Play. perhaps my ROM (AOPK)
does anyone know a way to get the apk? I just got my Nexus q
update:
I installed Jelly Bean and was able to download it
If the apk isn't locked to your device (with the encryption they announced at I/O) - can you post it? I'd love to have a peek inside!
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section
The google play description of the nexus q app claims that will work on anything with gingerbread and above, the app right now appears to only work and be listed for jelly bean devices

I installed a JellyBean Rom on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for it to work.
here is the apk from a Titanium Backup it probably wont work lol but you never know

Thanks for posting the apk. I was unable to get it from the Play store as it's unavailable in Canada at the moment (seems silly, but whatever). I installed the app from your link and it works great! I'm listening to music on my Q as I type this.
glad to hear it actually works. I had my friend try it out on his G2x with no luck so I wasn't sure

What is yours android version?
Crud, I just bought a Q on E-Bay thinking I would get it quicker (it was also about $100 cheaper) than waiting for Google to ship me one but the APK won't install on my Bionic running the leaked ICS build. The Q application in the Play Store also says it's not compatible with either of my devices (the other being a Xoom running ICS) even though the description says it's compatible with Gingerbread and above. I assume that when the Q actually starts shipping they will fix this issue with the market application but my brilliant plan to get a Q sooner will be for naught!
I know its ridiculous but part of me is tempted to go buy a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus off of Ebay so I'll have something to control this with when it gets here!

I would just wait or else buy a Galaxy Nexus. My kids have Galaxy Nexus phones so I just rooted theirs and installed JB to work with my Nexus Q. The original shipments of the Nexus Q were supposed to ship 2-3 weeks from Google I/O so the app should be available anytime.
I think it is dumb for Google to not have it available now. If I was a developer who got it free I would want to be able to try it out with my friends. After all it is supposed to be a social media device. It restricts the social aspect if it is only available on JB devices.

I wonder if they have it restricted to JB to try to prevent developers from selling theirs, if so I don't think it's working very well based on the number of them on eBay - LOL.
I'm going to be really bummed later this week when I get my Q and have nothing to control it with though.
I wonder if the problem is just the API level it's looking for or if there is something actually missing in ICS that prevents it from running properly with the current build.
Pretty sure it is somehow country specific in Play.
I was unable to install the apk to my JB Nexus 7 which I got at I/O. Being at home in Sweden. I was also unable to install it on my ICS Gnexus with a Telenor sim-card. I was however able to install it on my JB Gnexus (the one I got at I/O) which had my T-mobile sim-card.
I purchased two of these devices on ebay.
But I can't use them because I don't have JB device!
The above APK did not work on a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note with ICS.
I called and talked to google, and they said the non-JB package would be released when the product ships.
Just received the one I bought off of eBay and it sure is pretty - too bad I can't use it yet!
Any developer that can get the apk working on ICS before the official release from Google would get an automatic and significant donation from me (as well as my eternal gratitude)!
Despite my incredible lack of experience (absolutely 0) I did manage to get the apk to install on a couple ICS devices after modifying the manifest, rebuilding, resigning and re validating it (I will add my thanks to all the people's tools I used to do this later, I promise!!). I have it running on my unlocked and rooted LTE Xoom with the released ICS build and my Bionic running locked and unrooted leaked ICS. Both are a bit flakey however and both are telling me I need to update the Play Music application even though I've manually upgraded both to the 4.3.605 build. I did manage to get them to go through the network setup page and say it connected, showed services as Movies and YouTube but then both show it unavailable. I've reset the Q a couple of times and went back through the setup but so far I still can't manage it from either device. Right now my brain is cooked so I'll have to try it again tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for everyone here for their amazing contributions, I really hope the Q becomes a legend in Android history (in a very good way).
Ok, this is the APK on my rooted Verizon GNex, I'm using a ROM with JB to control my Q.
Hope it helps...
Well, I'm still stuck in the same place as yesterday but I decided to upload my modified APK in case anyone wants to try it on their ICS device.
WARNING!! I don't know what I'm doing and only managed to get this far thanks to awesome tools from others - use this file at your own risk!!!!!!!!!
If anyone can look at this thing and figure out why it won't let me connect to the Q after initial connection that would be awesome but I'm guessing that's not very likely either.
Thanks to: Kornyone his awesome work so far and telling me that changing the manifest got it working on his ICS device, Raziel123x for the Apk Multi-tool I used to sign this after modifying it and to iBotPeaches and Brut.all for the apktools. I apologize if I'm making you look bad with my unsuccessful efforts to use your excellent work.
Well, I've made a little bit of progress as I can now connect to the Q and change some rudimentary settings like HDMI, Optical, Brightness, etc. but it still tells me I need to upgrade the Play Music application, takes me to the Play Store and that of course tells me I have the latest build. Neither the Play Music or YouTube applications have the little button at the top to make it play on the Q. I also don't see anywhere to enable USB debugging as some others have been able to do, I was going to unlock it but can't access it via ADB without debugging turned on. Am I just missing that option somewhere else in the menu? It's not covered in the help topics at all.
I'm slightly pleased with myself for even getting it to install and connect but now I'm stuck again. :crying:
Any suggestions (other than buying a JB device or just waiting for the official app from el goog)?

Hi Everyone !
First of all, I wish I will be able to explain exactly my questions (I'm French, so ...).
I ordered a Nexus Q on ebay. I have a google music account since the beggining, even if it's not open yet in France.
I'm really interesting by this little ball for music and youtube, and maybe movies.
I saw on the Nexus Q site that this is a World-ready 50/60Hz 85-265V AC input.
I want to be sure that I won't see the Nexus Q blow up with a simple adaptator. Or do you think it will be safer to buy a converter 110 - 220 V ?
I wish too that Jelly bean in France will have the new music app, and the Nexus Q app too (for the moment, I can't download it on the market.
Thanks a lot Guys for your answers !:good:
It will work. That is the beauty of new electronic devices. I travel around the world and now you only need a converter for the power outlet. The days of needing a voltage converter for electronic devices is gone. You will need to buy a plug converter that converts from the N. American/Japan style to French. This is what you need http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ISR9B6/
Thank you for your answer !! Great news !
No adapter required
You don't necessarily need an adapter, just grab a standard figure-8 power cord and that's it.
I would've added a link to Amazon for that but this goddamn thing won't let me.
Yes, I think I will do that hleinone, because I have a plenty of these kind of cords.
Another question. Jelly Bean is not out yet on the Galaxy Nexus, so I don't think I will be able to use the Nexus Q ?
Moreover, impossible in France to download the Nexus Q app on the playstore. I tried the link on another post to install it, but it doesn't work. I am a little bit affraid to not be able to use it if I can't download the Nexus Q app ! :crying:
Power is no issue. But guys can you explain how to install Nexus Q app on non JB device?
I had to root a galaxy nexus and install JB.
If you're rooted, I guess you can use Market Enabler/Unlocker to install the Nexus Q app from the Play Store.
I download the apk, but impossible to install it.
I think I will wait for my Nexus Q, and if jelly bean isn't arrive on my phone, I will root it, install jelly bean and try with Market Enabler/Unlocker.
Thanks Guys ! But really, I don't understand why Google didn't put the app for all country !! Some of the people who were at the Google I/O are not American citizens !!
But, I love Google, so, I forgive them :laugh:
I'm not sure it's country related issue.
I can download app from europe on JB just not on ICS
On the Play Store, I got this message :
"Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Impossible d'installer cet article dans le pays associé à votre appareil."
It means : Impossible to install this item in the country of your device
So, I think it could be a country issue. I will see what happen when I will receive Jelly Bean. I'm pretty sure I will find a way to install Nexus Q app thanks to XDA !
And I already download the apk (not working on ICS, but maybe on JB)
I got my Nexus Q at Google I/O, but I didn't install the app on my Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7 before going back home to Denmark. Back in Denmark I get the same message as you whenever I try to install the app from Play Store "This application is not available in your country". I have JB on both my tablet and my phone, so getting JB will not solve the problem.
Let me know if you figure out how to install the app!
Thanks to GDI2290

I install this APK on my Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus and it works perfectly with my Nexus Q (I'm French and live in France)
Have fun with your Nexus Q !
Is it so difficult to find us proxy server?

Thank you Irvi!
@unclesem: I tried proxies, but it didn't seem to work, but then again I didn't try that hard.
I'm writing an article on the Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean, and I wonder if someone with more coding knowledge could help me out with something.
I'm wondering why so many apps are listed as "incompatible" with the Nexus 7. Is it the device configuration, or something to do with the way the apps are coded? Why would an app like NBA JAM work on a Galaxy Nexus but not a Nexus 7?
I think it's the default screen DPI value screwing things up.

That would cause apps to be listed as "incompatible" in the Play Store?
How can developers make apps more widely compatible? Shouldn't the Android SDK responsive design features take care of that?
Thanks!
A lot of the applications that are listed as incompatible are in fact compatible if side loaded onto the device, bypassing the Play Store.
I don't want to assume you are new to Android but usually within 2-4 weeks of a new Android OS launch, more applications will become compatible in the Play Store.

I've been a Nexus user for a few years now, so I know that eventually apps will be updated, although it's always pretty annoying in the beginning. I'm just trying to understand better what developers have to do in order to make apps compatible with new devices and new versions of Android.
Many also show incompatible (such as Amazon) because they require a rear camera. They work fine when sideloaded (as mentioned above) but force close when trying to access the camera.
There's a build property for "highest version of android that this app will work for". Google advises against using it in the documentation, but a lot of devs set the max version to ICS anyway. Expect it to be corrected as more people get JB
