Maybe your talking about games that dont require touchpads like sonic cd, or virtua tennis or something. But games like gta 3 and all gameloft games, and any other game that uses the touchpads as a main function, are seriously ****ed. And will remain that way till the developers update their game, which is highly unlikely. ( Gameloft updating games specifically for our play? LOL).
[Xperia Play General] xlance06:
Im not against to all ur opinion but my point is why sony promised ics on our device for promotion to sell thier product this is very bad they cheat,

And one more things if ur planning one thing u dont know what is the out come,and sony plan ics for x play they did not know the consequence I dont think so..
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
Its not a cheat because they actually where going to release ICS...
[Xperia Play General] Atomix96:
Hopefully Sony has gotten the whole ICS thing through their thick skulls. If we want it then we'll update. The Verizon PLAY doesn't have many games anyway so I'd rather have ICS with a not so good gaming than anything else. I only use it for Star Battalion and GBA emulators :D

[Xperia Play General] CloudShepherd:
How does the Verizon play not have that many games? It's the exact same thing with software differences
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
Its because most of the Xperia Play games cannot be acquired from the Play Store with the Verizon variant, because Verizon wants to redirect you to their more expensive games market, which has a limited choice of games.
[Xperia Play General] CloudShepherd:
Ahh thanks for clearing that up. Cheeky Verizon
[Xperia Play General] Atomix96:
And because the PS Store isn't available in the U.S. like it is in the UK or Japan. We don't even have the PS Pocket app. We have the "Xperia Play" app and the only PS game is Crash Bandicoot

If its the touchpad why Sony can't finish the ICS?! Then how come the developer of the joypad was able to create something that would allow us to use the touchpad again, i say Sony stopped since this Phone was with Ericsson. Forget about the ICS Sony isn't capable of doing so, other developers was able to cure things they couldn't finish, big respect to those who created joypad and game keyboard. Let sony buy the software from those developers so they can meet their promise. If they can't then lets just be happy with the gingerbread, if ICS would be released then we upgrade, no need to thank those whos not even worthy of being thanked.

[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
I have moved from Xperia Play to Xperia S..... That's how much hope I have.

In a collectors point of view, I am glad I have Sony's first attempt at a PlayStation phone and also Sony's first SONY only phone.

TBH gaming was fun for a while but I have PS3 and PSP and the Xperia Play was like "oh yay I can play a game for 2 hours and now i has no battery left to use my phone for phone things".

I am surprised Sony allowed Ericsson to make such an ugly phone to represent their playstation brand.

IMHO I think you have more chance of PSP having phone functions then having it under the Xperia brand.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
It is possible that with the code optimizations to ICS produced by the Linaro team that Sony was able to overcome the performance issues they were running into with the BETA and may indeed be preparing to release ICS for our phones.

Or it could be something completely different. Who knows?
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
Frankly, this is what I'm hoping for as well. GB with some ICS features baked in would be ideal.

ICS needs optimisation and effort to be as smooth as GB, and I don't see that Sony has this level of care or commitment to make it happen.

Either way, Sony needs to release something after they made a commitment to do so and the fact that this phone is merely a year old (people have 2yr contracts); would be a disgrace if they left it like this.
[Xperia Play General] murat17:
think most people just want something from sony for xperia play instead of ics. Users are mad becauase sony let us wait for so long and at the end we got nothing so in my opnion i just want something from sony a little upgrade for this phone would be appereciated.
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
Didn't Sony apply for certification a long time ago? Just because it has now been certified it doesn't mean it will be released. Sony said themselves that it takes a long time for certification.

As for telling people who own a PLAY but want ICS to sell the PLAY and buy another smartphone, I suggest to you that if you own a PLAY and care more about the gaming than its smartphone capabilities, to sell your PLAY and buy a DS/Vita. See how ridiculous it sounds?

[/QUOTE]

It doesn't sound ridiculous at all... When you've got one of those things called a job! In fact I just went out and bought a Vita its great the games look really nice ,I also work my ass off on an oil patch just to have the ability to buy whatever, whenever. If you've got the drive to want more in life you too can have whatever you want. Jus sayin tho:-)

Guys The play isnt getting ICS. Read this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672849

Sony said that they can not make a comfortable game playable device using ICS and for this reason they are not updating the Xperia Play to ICS. The source link is in this the thread I have linked. This means Sony have gone against the law of all devices within a year of update to be updated to ICS. There is supposed to be giving at least one update to each device capable. We know the Play is capable but Sony are being lazy as we have been dropped in support. :'(
[Xperia Play General] VergiL09:
Its always much better to have choices, and also, a promise is a promise, and Sony made that promise to thousands of people

Any updates about this news? I haven't high expectations about this, but anyways, we can use the custom roms that develppers created in this forum.

I don't wanna flash to ICS until the touchpads can work properly. I wish stock stuff, no AOKP, MIUI or something like that. Can you recommend me a good ICS port for my play without bugs and stable?

No matter if I can't play some games like in GB, I just wanna have a good ICS ROM with all their funcions working like a charm.

I hope Sony wake up and give us an update but its highly unlikely. From what I understood is that every device from 2011 was to be upgraded to ICS either full of lite. I swear Google said something about this at there Google I/O when they announced ICS. But maybe I'm wrong.

Hi fellow PLAY owners, I'm having trouble with my screen. I can turn my phone off no problem, but when it comes to waking it up, either by pressing the power button or the home button, my screen won't turn on. I can slide it open, and i hear stuff going on as if my screen were on, but I can't see anything. It'll be like that for random amounts of time, like 1 minute, or as long as 5 minutes or more.:mad: Any ideas? THANks

the digitizer lets the software know where you pressed on the screen, the ribbon connects the screen and digitizer to the main board of phone

[Motorola Droid Bionic] grimvamp101:
Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum as far as registering goes, and i just have one simple question: Is it possible to completely remove the stock ROM on the droid bionic?

The reason i am asking is because i followed the rooting/flashing ROM guide

(http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1455888.html)

to a word, and after a couple of days of using my new ROM (eclipse 2.2 w/ fury x theme) i have been having problems.

ie: tried backing up stock rom with safestrap, says "error backing up android.secure.img/emmc skipping backup of application". then it says "error backing up android.secure.img/osh skipping backup of application"

Now my phone is back on the stock ROM, but even with ROM manager i cant even back up my stock ROM or flash a new ROM, i have also tried using the older versions of rom manager with no luck.The phone just reboots every time i do.

BTW= I am rooted (super user confirmed), and i have update ver 902.

I have everything backed up on my personal computer in case something goes horribly wrong

So i just wanted to know if i could skip this headache, and remove the stock rom completely and then flash my new "stock rom".

Does anyone know how to do something like this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
It almost sounds like you've got a bad flash in your phone that prevents the recovery utilities from being able to correctly identify all the partitioning at the block level like it should.

If I were in your situation, I'd definitely do a full FXZ flash back to 5.9.902 so that everything is rewritten, then you can try wiping and re-installing another ROM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] grimvamp101:
Awesome, i will give it a shot.thanks

As you may know, there is no touchpad support on FPse unless we are on ICS. So I e-mailed to Schtruck and asked about porting it to GB:

"Hello. Could you make an update with support for Xperia PLAY touchpad but for GingerBread? Xperia PLAY officially won't get ICS at all so touchpad support on GB would be great!"

This is what I received:

"this update would mean a specific version for Xperia Play on GB. huge work because the Java part is big regarding all option for FPse. i can study a port."

I don't really understand this reply... What do you think? New update = new specific app exclusive to Xperia PLAY?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 3dawg:
His reply implies that he'll look into it and assess the time/practicality ratio.

He's at least considering it so I suppose that's good news :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ClioCreslind:
The way I read it:

(My background understanding to Android programming: The Xperia PLAY's dual touchpads requires coding in C/C++ via Android NDK, and when using it, the normal Android programming libraries, which is in JAVA, cannot be used.)

... but all that work for a few hundred Xperia PLAY sales? I think very unlikely.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sfex3best:
Well remember the awesome paulscode released a n64 emu with touch pad support. So this could be possible.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ttiimm:
it would be quite hard i think, because it is so much easier that ics has built in drivers for mouse/pointing devices like our touchpads, he would probably need to do reverse engineering or somthing like that for gingerbread
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
I'll pay £5.99 for a touch pads version. Someone suggest to him he starts a Kickstarter for the project. Would love to have FPS and Ape Escape etc
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] igor_anta:
Mupen 64 (paulscode n64 emu) is open source, so he can "steal" the touchpad implementation from there.

And if Paul can do it on a free app I'm sure schtruck can do it for a paid one :)

Though with the newest update coming any moment now that brings shortcuts with individual settings I can forgive the lacking touchpad support :)

Ok here goes I emailed fpse this

" Hi As a gamer with xperia play and as fpse is my most used app I follow the support of xperia play analogs very closely. I read an email you sent to an xda member saying you would look into it. I understand why it's easier to implement on ics.

I would like to point you towards mupen64 by Paul lamb a N64 emulator famous for using the analog, I would also like to point out how accurate it emulates the N64 stick. With mupen64 ae being open source then the coding is all done and I assume leaves very little work.

An xperia play version would be very popular as owner are almost guaranteed to buy your app.

MIUI v4 for Legend

Found this ROM made by Cofface in a Chinese forum for the HTC Legend. As you might of guessed it is an MIUI v4 port for our phone. There's still many things not working which I'm going to try and get working. This ROM still isn't fully translated and I don't recommend you use this as your daily driver just yet. It has MAJOR speed/responsiveness problems. I've modified the build.prop to try and make it faster and included a default overclock.

Things that don't work at this stage:

-Wifi

-Bluetooth
