Hello, Guys.
Is it possible to run 2 games simultaneously on a Samsung Galaxy S8 using the Multi-Window mode? I saw other phones which can do this but unfortunately is not working on my phone.
Here's an example, I have 2 copies of an app/game and i'd like to play coop by myself using 2 accounts. Both apps opens and goes to Split-Screen view but both games does not stay active at the same time. Only the app that I am currently using stays active while the other one goes on Pause status.
Is there any workaround with this? Thanks for helping me out.
You can't force the behavior of a game to run when not in use. They are made that way by the developers of the game. There are games that can do what you ask but not all will support it. I know there are games that do it because I tried it myself.
HAHAHA!! Seriously dude.

I downloaded Zenonia 2 and Spider-Man Total Mayhem from V-Cast, but when I slide my phone open and the Xperia Play App launches, they don't show up in here. They are advertised in the app, but don't show up here when I have them. They show up with the rest of my apps and work, but I feel like they should also be in the Play App. Is there a reason for this? Can I change it?
clear the cache in app settings then reboot that mite help
No cache to clear in the app... plus I also downloaded Assassins Creed at the same time and that one shows up properly in the app...
have u updated the play app on andriod market mate ?
uh, when I go to the android market, it isn't listed with the rest of my programs that need updates
usually happens when you download games which are meant for other phones..
is the gamepad working on those games?
The D pad and such work for them, not the touch sensors. I would think it was the right game for the Play... since I clicked on the Ad for the game when it popped up in the Xperia Play app, then I downloaded the game from the link it provided

It wont pop up saying it needs updating. Well mine didnt. If you have not updated it since you have had the phone just search xperia play and the game launcher will come up on the market to download/update. It depends on the game developer as well. Doodle Jump which does not use the gamepad shows up in my launcher but other games that use the gamepad dont.
Downloaded and updated the Xperia Play App, still no change. I could kind of understand some games not being supported, but it would be weird if that were the case here, since the same app is advertising them in a way that looks almost identical to "games you own" section.

Older games which used Joysticks and Dpads on resistive screen devices will use the XPlay DPad as well.
Just gonna bump my thread incase anyone else has a clue to fix this issue
Spiderman didn't show up for me until I updated the Play app.
Already Updated my play app T.T
Hey all, it seems like there's an issue with Nexus 4 and Unity engine games like Hungry Shark Evolution, AVP Evolution, Major Mayhem, etc... Basically, the games run fine, but after exiting them normally through the app, the phone either locks up, or locks up then turns into a black screen. Then we have to do a hold power button for it to reboot.
So far when I've seen the issues, I googled if the games were powered by Unity engine and so far all of them have been... It's also been noted in the Nexus 4 Gaming Thread in the Apps/Themes section of the forum. It also seems to be independent of the ROM.
My question is, has anyone else found this, and is there a possible fix for it?
Thanks.
I think we need a patch from Google, I hope android 4.3 will do the trick but for now I noticed that not all games do the same behavior mounting unity... Some games do the thing often than other... But for now I avoid these game.. A trick I have seen is that instead of exit the app press recent and swipe away the game. No crash.

Rayman does this thing to me... don't know about its engine but the Phone locks up every time i try to exit the game normally. I have to press the home key and then clear it from the recent apps list..

So i've been testing a ridiculous amount of sideloaded games on the OUYA and figured i'd post a list of every game i've found that works with the controller. I'm sure there are many more so help me fill out this list!

Legion have you tried Modern Combat 4 the latest meltdown update Gameloft secretly added generic HID support and works perfect out of the box check it -
Also I know Ouya supports Dual Shock 3 pad native, have you tried pushing permissions to system and installing Playstation Mobile?
Direct Download of my PSM Flashable Zip (Or open and push manual) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1467214&d=1352405263
Cant test yet as still waiting for my Ouya

I've tried several different versions of Modern Combat 4 and unfortunately none of them work. Since the OUYA doesn't have the Android market the only Gameloft games that will work are from the WAP store, but even then the only one that's working right now is Dungeon Hunter 4. I REALLLY want Blitz Brigade but no matter how I try to sideload it it refuses to work.
PSM does work but I haven't experimented with it much.
You maybe able to later (Check this last post in the Google market fix thread/Ouya developement - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43203621&postcount=31) This MC4 with HID is the latest Google version BTW.

Anyone else have trouble with The Conduit force closing?
I got to the 2nd mission (the one that looks like they pinched it straight from Goldeneye on the N64), about half way through and the game just closes back to the Ouya menu. Anyone know of a workaround? It's seems like quite an entertaining game.
Your post says all gamevil RPGs have you actually been able to get Dark Avenger to work? if so how? I am unable to get even past the intro screen and controller seems to do nothing.
-thanks
Have you tried installing an apk installing the Google Play Store on the OUYA? Don't know if this is possible and haven't tried because my OUYA just got in.

You can't just simply install the apk for the Play Store on OUYA. The Play Store relies on several Google frameworks that aren't present on OUYA, and even if they were, you'd need SU on the console to push the Play apk to system and set the relevant permissions. There's a whole thread about it on the forums somewhere.

As I said I haven't tried it or read about it. Just was making a comment. Have been reading an other topic that they have installed the apk but still don't have any luck on getting apps to work more easely.
How do you get Jet Set Radio to work? I tried to copy the APK and the Android/obb/jetsetradio (or android/data/jetsetradio i can't remember) folder as well but it crashes when I try to launch it
Thanks

I haven't been able to get it to work outside of getting into the main menu either. That entry refers to their retro styled rpgs like the Zenonia series, Illusia series, Destinia, etc. I'll edit that part of the list for future reference. Sorry about that.

Jet Set Radio works great for me, make sure you are copying the obb file to Android/obb/com.sega.jetsetradio/ because as you have it written won't work.
Alright i'll try again. thanks!

Edit: The game won't open, the screen just flashes with a spinning loading icon.
I'm downloading it from the market now
If it doesn't work with the Ouya controller I can also test with PS3, 360, and Nyco Playpad.
Hey guys and gals!
I'm still pretty new to the ouya but I'll try some stuff over the weekend.
Got GTA VC and III working great, no problems.
You can add Pocket League Soccer by Kairosoft to your list of working games. It works with the analog stick and the d-pad although you have to use the touchpad for pressing things. I'll test more Kairosoft games and I guess they'll work the same way since they are pretty much the same games.
How did you get beach buggy blitz to worm with controller?
@paco8 thanks!
@gottahavit Click on the settings button using the touch pad then click controls then choose the "gamepad" option
Galaxy Hero has controller support, but it's a bit wonky and at times you still need the touch pad.
I'm trying out Spectral Souls right now. When it finishes installing (It validated my Play Store Purchase) Ill post how it goes.
Ok, time for some more... Sadly though, my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard don't work. Probably cause they are 5 years old. xD
Anyways, here we go:
Age of Zombies - black screen, not working.
Beat Hazard - working though only with the touchpad which is quite difficult. I used the fixed thumb stick and had to double-tap and drag it around.
Death Worm - working yet impossible to play with only the touchpad.
FIFA 12 - won't download data. I didn't try transferring data.
Gunman Clive - working really good thankfully after changing the controls in the pause menu.
Heist: The Score - downloads data fine, but I can't navigate the menu at all.
The Impossible Game - navigating the menu with the touchpad and jumping with the O-button works great, yet placing markers only works with the touchpad which can be tricky.
Infectonator - only with the touchpad which is quite difficult.
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene - only with the touchpad and in portrait mode which makes it practically unplayable.
Kami Retro - downloads data. Does not respond at all though after that.
Osmos HD - of course very hard to play with only the touchpad, but it's working.
Pac-Man Championship Edt - working with the controller, although it is in portrait mode and strangely there is no sound.
PewPew 2 - also strangely only gives out audio yet nothing working on a black screen.
They Need To Be Fed 1 - loops the first few seconds. Not playable at all. I haven't purchased part 2 yet.
I will test some more soon. This was rather unsatisfactory. Only Gunman Clive and The Impossible Game are enjoyable with the controller IMO yet maybe Beat Hazard, Death Worm, Infectonator and Osmos HD will be easier with a mouse.
my favorite game ,WINDUP KNIGHT works super perfect
Hi all,
I am currently using a galaxy note 3 with a galaxy gear watch and although the watch is great I do find it really has its limits. I'm thinking about changing to a Nexus 5 (because its smaller and has stock android as i'm fed up with crap on a phone) and possibly the moto 360 with the metal band. With android wear is it possible to read all notifications from apps like the new google messenger, whatsapp, wechat etc and respond to them all too? At the moment on the gear I am limited to only being able to do that to samsung made maps, sometimes it works with other apps but I cannot reply to them and if you have more than 1 message it says you have x messages rather than showing you the content. Iv'e also seen in a review that a few apps just force you to get your phone out really quite often? Also is it possible to use some kind of tasker like app to use voice commands to run certain things on your phone?
Thanks all
Yes... to all questions
Facebook is the only common app that doesn't give much detail on multiple notifications... And can't reply.. But that I presume will soon change in future

It seems that an Android port of KOTOR was released. It lists full HID controller support. Has anyone tried sideloading this on the Ouya?

I tried. The app will show the splash screen and crash. It isn't a matter of it not being from the play store either because I have the play store on my ouya. A shame really because I bought it in hopes of getting it on ouya. The only other device of mine it works with is a galaxy s3 with a busted screen.

I tried sideloading it after I installed AOSP 5.0 - Good news. It launches the game. I'm still having trouble with AOSP, so i didn't do much, but it seemed to play ok.
EDIT: I think i figured out why it crashes at startup for other roms. So when i got it running initially on AOSP, it had my ouya plugged into a 1920x1200 monitor and i don't think it knew what to do, so it was running at like 640x480. I then plugged in my ouya to a tv and it started at 1080p. When I tried running Kotor again, it crashed at startup as reported by others.
I added the following to the ini file in /sdcard/Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotor/files/swkotor.ini under [Graphics Options]
Height=480
Width=840
This will allow the game to run. I played for a while, and it seemed ok. It is a bit slow, so we may want to try a lower resolution. The ouya may be getting too dated to play this very well.
One problem I ran into is that the ouya controller doesn't seem to be mapped correctly on AOSP. the triggers were mapped to look left and right as well as switch characters and pause. You have to hold the left trigger half way down to stop the camera from moving and hope it doesnt pause the game or switch characters while you are playing haha. It would be frustrating playing for too long without a fix.
Running fine on cm11 port. Hope this helps.
