Thank you to all who were helpful.

At&t is good to me and replaced the phone for free, I just told them I turned it on and had no idea what happened:p

I successfully used the McGyver method and fixed it but since At&t is already sending me a replacement, I might as well use it.

Thanks again guys!

USB/BT Joystick Center 6 Is now optimized for Xperia Play on ICS. It includes touchpads. You can also get a free add-on app for mapping touch profiles.

Now every Game is FULLY (including touchpads) Xperia Play Optimized.

Info -

FULL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS by me :)

Video joystick 6 half way through sorry but was a video our site made for the general concept of this and Gamekeyboard -

[YOUTUBE]LfGPl0RHNgw[/YOUTUBE]

Preset Touch Profiles XML Doc list. (WIP)

Click on a game to get that profile. To get it working Unzip and place the XML doc attached in the usbjoy folder on your SD cards. Then when turning on JoyCenter6 app click imp (import) and select the right named file and it will be set up to play.

1) Painkiller: Purgatory HD - Example of how we XDA players share presets

2) Resident evil 4 -

3) Death Rally -

4) Angry Birds Rio -

5) FrontLine Commando -

**** yeah!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DennisDroid:
Is there a version for GB? I will test it on CM7 :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
what does this do? is this similar to gamekeyboard? o_o
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
yes but this also supports touchpads.... means you can make angry birds xperia play optimized xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Only ICS. :mad:

Yes same concept but a little better implemented. Plus the big bonus that you can map touchpads to screen for full Analog control. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
I cant try it yet but can anybody tell me if it works fine on CM9 with touchpads and all and if it is possible to do this on the browser (touchpads).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Selim873:
I do have a question about all this though... What's the SPECIFIC reason why ICS is getting all of the love? I mean, Mupen is the only app that got the touch pads working on GB. Is it just easier for ICS and people are just lazing out on the GB coding? ICS isn't even officially out and developers are making things ICS only... Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
Google implemented support for keyboards/usb devices etc in ICS which has made it easier to implement the gamepad support - I think.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Correct. ICS has native controller support built in to Googles code so it is very easy to code there apps for controllers. On Gingerbread you have to code for Sony's framework which is not cost effective because of the time it takes and the market (just Xperia play users). FPSE and N64oid could of done this a while back but the dev's knowing ICS was coming left it till now for optimization.

This native support should mean any game made for USB pads (e.g SoulCraft , Inertia plus many more titles as it the next big thing) should be supported on ICS Xperia Play touchpads.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Aww...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] harlzden:
hey guys will this app allow me to map my (xp ice cream ) d-pad controls to the onscreen fifa 12 analog stick

reason i ask was fifa 12 did not allow dpad support, i'm hoping to achive it with this app
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
This works but some games close the app so it defeats the purpose. Dead space is one of them. Ill test more.

Edit after trying the deadspace from ea site all works
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] johnboyjr:
how do i map the buttons to screen presses?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
After you leave the main app go to the addon with the touch test hold search. Now press button or stick and touch screen where you want it. You can take a screenshot of the game and also setup controls however needed. If you need a slide hold on to the stick for 3 seconds. Only game that it failed on is dead space it closes after the game runs but all gameloft I've tried works. Btw I'm on cm9 fxp117 great addition to cm9 makes the gamepad and touchpads work :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
We need to make some keysetups and export them so we can share them. If author of this thread doesn't want to do it ill start a thread

Edit tried the dead space that ea had for free and this works perfect with it. The market dead space doesn't.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Sooo... hows about a video of this in action?

As annoying as it is that it's for ICS only, seeing this do some serious work with Frontline Commando would be pretty neat.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I can't do a video as the only video I have is on my phone :p but ill try it and take a screen shot let you know how it goes
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
For me on cm9 it just force closes...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
What force closes?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
The joy center app.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Joystick 6 working for me on fxp117 cm9 with fxp kernel
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Will be making a article comparing this and the gamekeyboard VS style including a video over the next couple days. With pro and cons of both. :-)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] johnboyjr:
ok i did that but how do i move a touch point if i put it in the wrong place?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Press the button you want to change when you touch the screen it will remove that button. Just place again
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
The app was updated today
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Started testing this one today and very impressed. Lot easier then GameKeyBoard to set up. Just cant wait till official ICS as having more issues with the Rom then this app. Like the UI and the touch feature is very well implemented. Working out which games i will test for our video and review. Got it working with FL commando already. just wish the 2 apps where all in one. Don't know why the Touch is an add-on and not in built. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Works great on cm9 used on dead space most ea games have no gamepad support on cm9 ill try some more. Death rally it works well on. Also 9mm ill try some more and report back
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
C"Mon maannn... I just bought Locnet's GameKeyboard v.2.0. last night!!! I honestly dont even have a touch-screen-only game to test it on as of yet and they come out with something better? Im using the KA12 ICS rom so should I just be getting my refund and buying this if it does everything gamekeyboard does plus MORE?? :( Can someone please compare and advise me a little?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Joystick 6 is better but only works in ics I'm usually running cm9 or aokp so many games don't work with gamepad
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Do you know how to configure this thing? I got as far as assigning buttons, but I don't see x, triangle, circle, square (like I'm used to with ps3 & Xperia play), but I guess that's because of it's ability to map keys for other consoles controls as well. Do you have any exported presets yet?

Sent from my ICS KA twizz-elve
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Anyone know how to setup gamepad?? Please?

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Have added a link for full Xperia Play set instructions by me. Also video coming later
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Added a video we did for our site. Sorry but joystick center is halfway in as video was made for the general concept
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xperiaflooter:
Thank you!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
The video and tutorial does help a lot. Thanks buddy!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
That's cool. Just played Angry birds rio with this. F**king perfect, Been seeing loads of people using Gamekeyboard while still on an ICS rom and can't understand why. Gamekeyboard is great for ginger and would convince people to get it as really good idea but why downgrade yourself when you made the effort to flash ICS in the first place. Going to make another video soon with just joystick 6 and games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Droid117:
I take this means improved touchpad support in future CM9?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] faisaldante:
Its awesome but one disadvantage u can't save a profile for each game so u gotta manually do it for each game but d advantages out weigh the disadvantages but that one feature would be awesome :banghead:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xperiaflooter:
You can. Open Joystick Center and press the xperia play device button, then press the "EXP" button at the right, and save it.

When you are playing a game, then "IMP" the settings for your game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
the just makes ics soooooo much better screw all the minor bugs and important games not working i got sumthin better up ma sleave!:cool::cool:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
What Rom you using? I admit Sony's beta has loads of issues but cm9 seams to be running sweet for a very early RC. Games like gta3 are running plus more and with this tool just makes cm9 even better. First time I have considered cm as a gaming Rom choice.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Gta3 doesn't run inn cm9 or any ics roms for our play locks it up
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Ok, so can we start uploading config's for different games like how they are doing in the gamekeyboard 2.0 thread? And can someone start with Biohazard aka Res. Evil 4 as I just deleted mine by mistake & I'm too lazy to make one right now.lol.;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Well it runs on cm9 fxp117 on one of our test plays. Only thing you can't do is change music or weapons with the pads. Can post screens. I know it don't work with the beta crashes about 10 seconds after walking around just after it loads.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Yeah can do. When theres a few will add to 1st post. Will make some later. Got death rally perfect but it's easy. Same with angrybirds (feels like the proper PS3 mini version with pads) , painkiller, crash course ice. And more
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
example of how we share the profiles

Example of sharing presets

1.

Screenshot

- pic of the game you have mapped to give an idea

2.

Then attach the profile

- XML files do not upload straight on XDA so will need to ZIP it or something first. What ever way you choose to do it make sure it is clear in the post how to get to it. You will find these on your SD cards in the folder named (USBJoyData).

3.

If want

- you can write a simple description or some helpful work arounds here in your post for extra help. You could even post a link to get the game on Google store

Last but not least i will do my best to follow this thread and link your each post which has this to a link on the first post. this way thanks go to the right people. if anyone knows of a better way please let me know. :):)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] benben972:
Hello guy

I can't download this because i'm in wrong country can i fix it ? :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Resident evil 4 aka biohazard 4 (Korean)

Google Play store link - Not available at this time search Net

Hint - This works perfect, use default game controls for it to work.

Config -

Pull out gun then tap to fire = R Shoulder

Put weapon away to walk = L Shoulder

Walk and Aim weapon = left touchpad

Pull out Knife and slash = Cross

Menu or pause = Start
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Death Rally

Google Play store link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lyFREE&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Hint - This works perfect. You can also take the on-screen controls fully off by pressing pause and turn down (Pad Opacity) then it feels total Play Optimized.

Config -

Turn and Go - Left touch pad

Shoot - Cross

Pause - Start

Camera - Triangle
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jhonecide:
it's ICS only??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
I was just going to upload my configuration for Biohazard until I saw it already up.:p Ill find another to upload.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Yeah only for ICS as uses the native pad support.

Cool if you find yours works better upload and I will change it. Only did a few quick ones to start the ball rolling. Will do some more later. Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
Do we really need to be on ics to use this app? Even if I'm not using xperia play?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Honeycomb 3.1 and up. Because it needs the native google virtual gamepad which they did not implement in gingerbread. Can't wait till I get ICS on my Xperia S as want to try out the Wii mote ir pointer as touch on my tv.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] illuminerdi:
I bought Gamekeyboard and I can't figure it out at all. It totally sucks, IMO, compared to Joystick 6. J6 is easier to set up once you learn the ropes.

Protip: map the "edit touch controls" key to your Search button. You'll never use the search button in games, and you have to map it to a hard key.

You might also need to load the Keyboard DPAD profile if your game doesn't like the dpad being a dpad - it does a brief center press before switching to the pressed dpad direction, and some games don't have a deadzone in the center of the onscreen keyboard. I've notified the app author about this, but I don't think he will fix it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
not that im complaining but this app drains a lot of battery and heats up the phone in less than 20 mins of gameplay. tried it with mc3 (touchpads dont work in playosp) and thats when the phone really heated up and the game crashed. but i still love this app.

uummm i never really played any android games only emulators and optimized. so far i've played and configured riseofglory and death rally any other games you guys would recommend?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
I very much doubt its this app heating your phone up and maybe the overclocking mite have something to do with it. This should not use to much ram as only an input.:confused:

Thanks for letting know about the Playosp not working was going to give that ago but may not now. Really wish someone would make a proper gaming ICS Rom as it can be done (E.g CM9 works great so far for RC, speed wise and the native pad support works. E.g this, N64oid, FPSE run fine) but not much gaming passion going on in the Dev section as of late. :mad:

As for games just try them out, I am going through some i think should work ok and will upload some pre-sets, its really trial and error at mo as new concept. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
well playosp is based off cm9 so whatever issues, working, not working for cm9 is the same for playosp or any other cm9 based custom rom. same emus you mentioned also work perfect on playosp. but i think your rite its probly the over clock.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
I have this working on CM9 fxp117 (not updating till some more ground breaking fixes get updated) if oid and fpse work there is no reason why this should not on Playosp. This reads the pads in the same way as those 2, native controller in Google core android 4.0 code not Sony's added gingerbread framework. Did you try uninstall and try again? :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Angry Birds Rio

Google Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...rdsrio&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Hint - Works perfect and feels like the PS3 Mini game. Left Touchpad to aim (Note make sure your first touch on the Plays Touchpad is on the left of the silver dot or your bird drops forward on the right).

Config -

Aim and pull back - Left Touchpad

scroll left/right view - Right Touchpad (Hold left/Right side of touchpad to scroll)

Pause - Start

Mid game menu -

Next Level - Cross

Retry Last level - Circle

Edit control button - Search
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
ya i tried again but the pads are messed up in mc3. i try different speeds and sizes for them. still a no go.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
FRONTLINE COMMANDO

Google Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sniper&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Hint - Works perfect. Only time you have to touch the screen is to jump or run to a Different side (not used to much) as not enough buttons on pad.

Config -

Aim - Left Touchpad

Shoot - Right Shoulder

Aim down sights - Left Shoulder

Hide behind cover - Cross

Change weapon - Square

Health pack use - Triangle

Air Drop attack - Select

Pause - Start
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
so... xperia play users will forget about this amazing app due to not getting an ics??? :eek:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] simpson1991:
I think so but I'll hopping they will bring a gingerbread friendly version to the store ,
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] faisaldante:
I'm still using d beta so I'm using this
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] tomaspeng:
Nice. So does anyone know if this works with emulators?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
Ya i tried it with fpse on aokplay rom as this rom losses a good amount of touchpad support so i mapped the left touchpad as left analog. Pretty sick app
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hackthis02:
Most of the ICS ROMs I've tried have broken the touchpads in most games. Is this a way to get them back?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gururise:
Yes, it is also better implemented, and does not surreptitiously break other applications.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
Such a shame. This amazing app could have been so popular among xperia play users but due to it will not getting ics, most xp users will think this app useless.

This is a great app, for those who are on custom ics roms.

I reall want to support this app so bad
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
But this app should still have some hope to survive if it really allows you to connect PS3 & other controllers. This app really is great. I paid for this & gamekeyboard 2.0 which is for GB ,but I never got gamekeyboard working to good.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Which custom ICS ROMs are playing games best? I was getting forced close on a lot of games that worked on GB and that was on KA12-13. I read other ICS ROMs were the same.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
i have no idea. im not actually using the xperia play :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
everytime i start ime the phone goes into portrait even when im holding it sideways. its really pissing me off because i cant map buttons correctly
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
You only turn the ime on at start. Plus it should let you select the option landscape if have the pad out. I have never had that issue, what Rom are you using
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] solomon4400:
Neva had this issue neither but im using aokplay rom with keiran latest kernel.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Izzy Stinson:
i wonder can the analog touchscreen controls can be map to dpad with this app?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] chinna_rao:
hi guys...i am a newbie on this topic...

if i have read it right, it means that i can use a Joystick to control touch sceen games on my HP Touchpad(CM9 nightly)?

btw how would the controller get power supply if the touchpad doesn't support USB OTG?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
I followed your link from the CM7 thread. It's just like turl said, you need a new logo.bin (boot logo). Here's a link to a thread in the Themes section that has it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
I figured that was missing (a bit late, actually)... I just can't beleive how a simply "format external SD card" option from CWM can do such a thing... Format the PDS, boot animation and the ROM, without doing the purposed thing : FORMAT THE DANG SD. In a way, I'm happy it did that and not the thing it was supposed to do - I didn't had a backup of my SD, lol.

Well, thank you. Even though I kind of like the way my phone boots up now... I'd kind of like an image, too. It would be awesome to place some lines of that text in some corner of the animation, like PwrReason, for example... useful for when you wanna know why the phone was off when you thought it was on :p Anyway...
