Have you updated the app. i just moved my data to check and got this when started the app on my Xperia Play R800i (This happens on the 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 version update's only)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
I checked the Bard's Tale website:

Did that and am currently downloading the HD data. =)

Once it finishes, I'll keep you posted on how well it works.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
Successfully download the HD data, but the game just closes after the 1st logo when I tried to launch it. So you should better stick to the SD data guys. ;)

EDIT: When I deleted the download HD files to have them replaced with the SD ones, the game didn't launch either. So I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the game; I'm now attempting to download the HD data one last time, maybe I deleted the wrong files.

EDIT2: Nope, HD files definitely don't work on the Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:

I now have an issue that was not there before. I deleted the movies and res folder so I can redownload the HD version (3.5gb, thank you 64gb class 6 card) and now after showing the studio1 screen it takes me back to the launcher. Anyone else having this same issue? I even wiped the data and same results, yes I did save my save game file to another folder.

Edit, nevermind..... I should have the last post on the previous page.... silly me. I am going to delete all files and save my saves folder..........and redownload.

Edit 2: Looks like the HD is only for devices with a 720p display or higher, not confirmed though just read it somewhere.

I know this was posted but for all those here is the info page from InXile for this game:

http://www.inxile-entertainment.com/projects/the-bards-tale-android
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
Yep, I confirm, the HD version doesn't work on the Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
HD assets are for Tegra 3 devices........ bummer..... at least make HD videos... the half screen while it works nicely would be nice to have option for higher res videos.

From This Site:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-3-5gb-of-awesome-quests-laughs-and-cleavage/

HD ASSETS:

"If you have a Tegra 3 device, The Bard's Tale gives you the option of downloading high-resolution assets instead of the regular ones."

Either way this game is awesome to play. Beat it on my old Xbox and later for the PC. Hell I even played all three originals on my old Commodore 64/128. And its great theyu included the first game from my childhood (Im 33) in the game. I am very very pleased with InXiles efforts and their super fast replies to my emails (think minutes not days) and all the issues I listed were resolved in this latest update. THANK YOU InXile!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Oops pressed thanks but oh well. Anyway HD data WAS only available for Tegra on the first version 0.1 but in the 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 they have aloud any device including non-Tegra to download and use HD assets (Was stated on version 1.1.1 Google description but has been overwritten in 1.1.2 by a new whats new text). If not working on Xperia Play i think its down to the low power of the device. BTW that Android Police review was made for the first version so does not apply now. Oh well agreed game is good enough as is.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sonymakebullshit:
Could you please tell me what does "Improved XPeria Play detection" means in updated info of 1.1.2?

Does it means it has shown in the Xperia PLAY launcher?:confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Lawliet918:
Great game! Unfortunately, touchpad does not work with any ICS-based ROM. Tried using FXP 9.1 and Markphyton's ICS ROM but touchpad didn't work for both ROMs - even with the touchpad support improvement of fahrenheith. If only the developers can make it ICS-compatible. :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sonymakebullshit:
Not just ICS but even can't work on 2.33. I just bought it with 5 hours for downloading the data files. But it just closes after 1st logo every time!!!

I'm sure i've choosen the 1.8G type!!! i really love this game, so that i has never taken so much time like this and still can't make it.

HOLY ****!!!! WHY???

What roms do you guys use?:(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Lawliet918:
I tried both Markphyton ICS Final and FXP138 CM9.1 since I believe these two are the most stable ICS ROMs thus far. Unfortunately, both of them didn't work even after applying farenheith's touchpad fix. So I reverted back to a Gingerbread ROM. Try using Xperia NXT 1.3. Touchpad worked perfectly for me. :cyclops:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
I've got to say, the first 5 mins of the game had me in stiches hahaaha...I think I sat next to the drunks for a good 10 mins just listening to their song...this game is very funny...it is however a battery drain..lost 15% in only about 30-45 mins...then again this is with standard data and performance maxed on everything.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lazy_fiend:
I saw the sale using AppSales but i am having difficulty while downloading the data. The App always force closes at some random point.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
That's odd, are you using a custom ROM by any chance?

I have had absolutely zero problems dl-ing to both Nexus 7 and Xperia Play.

Although I have never rooted my phone (or used a custom ROM).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lazy_fiend:
Yep. Really odd.

I tried it again earlier today and it does not force close anymore, it does however, have lots of connection timeouts. I simply choose to try again.

Anyway, the game is fantastic!

Top game carnt stop playing it hows it run on the xplay iv not turned it on in awial
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
For those of you running ICS on your plays.

Had a Tweet from the developer of the Bards Tale. In Update 1.1.2a they added support for Xperia Play Rom's based on the Official ICS Beta so should work on most ICS Rom's now.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
Wow what a diligent developer , this is the kind of developer that deserves money folks .
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jcarbox:
Wow, that's what i call XP support! Very impressive.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Game just updated today.

Added the folllowing:

Native support for PS3 Sixaxis controller

Support for LG Optimus 2x

Supports Android back-key in in-game shops

Purple pixel fix expanded to Nexus S JB

Im sure more details will be revealed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Got an update that adds part 2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cacarod2007:
So shouldn't the SD data size increase by like another 1GB? Or is it that all three games are already there, just activated one by one in a timely manner?:confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
^

What 1GB are you talking about? They added Part 2 to the original Bard's Tale game (cca 1984 or something).

I don't think games in that period were such big files ;)

EDIT: Also I am getting really bored with the game, could a kind person enlighten me how far into it I am?

I am in the snowy mountain area, just helped that old warrior to get to Valhalla (or something) and now I have to fight my way back(?) Grrr.

This is my first play of the game, I found it hilarious at the beginning, but now it's starting to be boring.

Too much grinding for my taste. Interspersed with occasional cut-scenes which, although funny, don't do anything for me anymore. I wonder if I should persevere with the game, but am afraid I might not find enough time to complete it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cacarod2007:
I am puzzled what this "added part 2" means. I have heard that the new update works with the old 1.7 GB SD data. So, is it that they have just activated access to Bard's tale 2 though menu and no new content actually added? My Play is on repair, will get it next week. Can't wait to checkout the update, was just wondering if I will need to redownload the huge data.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sesamo:
You sir are about half trough the game at that point...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
"You sir are about half trough the game at that point..."

Thanks. I hoped it would be further though ;) I'll try to stick with it, hopefully I can finish it one day.

It's funny though, I find it easier to grind in another RPG I'm playing (Heroes Call) which is supposedly a game for casuals as opposed to the hardcore RPG experience the Bard's Tale provides...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sesamo:
I can say it's the same grinding till the end tho... Some funny lines, some funny songs but the same grinding overall.

It's a fun game tho... Better than the average games out there.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
Stuck in the mountain temple too, got kinda bored and started dying too often... Anyone have any good tips? Currently am going with max HP and sword + buckler, but I still get damaged a lot and the healing isn't always enough.

I got through there after a while just using my magical lute and a bow I just let my guys go attack and u just pepper them with arrows I know what you mean about it getting boring and I also noticed you can shoot stuff when it's not on screen and they won't attack you that's how I killed the nuckleve or whatever =)

i hope somebody can help me out. I´m stucking in the first tutorial right before the rat. the old guy tells me i have to block with the circle button but the circle button only leads me to the game menu... can´t go on... even i can´t play the song he told me. only make a rat appear...

game is running on cyagen mod 7
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AeroDelight:
I think the problem is that it is running on CM7. Apparently that specific problem is an issue with AOSP ROMs. It should work properly on stock or stock based ROMs. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
i found these mods on the sensation forum but im not sure if i should try them yet. they look like they could benefit us if they work. the undervoltage installer says it should work on any phone but im not sure what frequency to undervolt. the second sounds cool also could open up both cores for max performance.

could you not flash it? most mods from sensation will flash ok. notice any difference

also do you know about safe undervolting frequencies
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
No, I don't flash mods built for another phone so no issues arise. The other phones updater-script "could" wipe things we don't want wiped.

I don't know much about voltages other then that if you are not sure what your doing it can cause stability issues

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
careful in cross flashing devices guys each device has a different partition number. Other devices /system partition could be our hboot, recovery, modem or any critical hardware drivers so you might end up having a permanent brick when doing it.

If any of you want to try out some mods which you can flash you can PM me a link for that mod and I'll make it flashable for mt4gs
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah I'm aware of the partition thing, also that the update-binary could be wrong. I've thrown multiple zips together for flashing :D

I was under the impression that the sensation was basically the same as the Mt4gs. I have flashed a number of mods for sensation with few consequences.

Anyone successfully remove the Verizon Wireless from the lock screen yet. I have made many attempts via framework–res to no avail. I have made changes to the eri.xml as well as adding/changing the spn-conf. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
I am assuming the info comes from the SIM card because when its not inserted the phrase, "No SIM card, Emergency Calls Only" is displayed in the same place Verizon Wireless normally is. There has to be a handoff between the SIM Card and code via an XML file someplace but I have yet to find it. If anyone has any info please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
I'd be willing to bet 5 bucks there is an xml edit in framework-res.apk or systemui.apk that would get rid of it :D, If I come across it i'll let you know for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
Ive checked strings in both and neither had any reference. I will check again because i am pretty sure it has to be in framework-res.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
Ya I see a lot of lock screen entries in framework-res strings.xml but nothing with plain verizon wireless, i see all the other possible things that could popup and it does look like its linked to the sim from there. I also see a reference to carrierLabel in systemui public.xml with an id of 0x7f0f00ae no idea where its linked to though as of yet will keep digging.

EDIT: Question for you guys are you running ICS touchwiz roms or aosp or what? I ask because I'm on a AOSP jelly bean rom and it might be different then what you guys have

I'm thinking this is going to require editing some smali files most likely, do me a favor and see if you have this file in your systemui.apk:

SystemUI\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\CarrierLabel.smali
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
Thanks.

The two entries I am looking for are:

Verizon Wireless

No Sim Card..Emergency calls Only

Those two phrases pop up in the same place on the lock screen when booting and/or once booted up.

Some other phones like the Nexus have thier carrier lable linked to an eri.xml and/or an spn-conf.xml located in /system/etc and or in /data right on the phone. No need to even decompile an APK, but the GS3 seems to be a little different as none of those tricks worked.

There is an eri.xml located in framework-res/res/xml/eri.xml. But nothing there referencing verizon or a sim card. Looks like a generic xml.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
I am running a stock deodexed TW ICS Rom.

Yes I have that xml in SystemUI but that smali should reference a string I would have thought? I thought the smali was to execute and not dictate what the actual phrase. I am far from an experienced coder though so what do I know.

Its late, I will look over this smali tomorrow when I have a little more time.

If we could get a few people digging for this we could probably find it in less than a week...:)

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
Not sure if this will do it or not but seems like its definitely worth a try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773879

As that xml is there in that location and the id is also there, I'll try it out on my rom when I get the chance as well and let you know.

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

Well after some more searching I came across a post to remove the carrier name on jelly bean for the nexus and it actually worked for me, I don't know if this will work on touchwiz ICS or not but you may want to do a nandroid and try it. I used the second set of steps putting the eri.xml in /data and left the values blank and no more carrier label :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
I have tried those too...LOL. They seem to be for either ASOP only or JB. Just for giggles I tried them again to be sure and still no go.

Glad it worked for you though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
Derp I goofed I didnt give you the link in the second edit for what actually worked for me anyhow I'll give you what you need for your ics version.

Do a nandroid backup before making any changes just in case

1) Download eri.xml onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.

2) Open "eri.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit everywhere you see "Whatever you want or delete this and nothing will show up". You can simply change the text or delete the text between the quotations and nothing will show up.

3) Save "eri.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "eri.xml" from your SD card to "/data" directory.

5) Reboot, and Enjoy!

Tried that one too....no go.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
Lmao dang was worth a try, this is harder for me now since i'm on cm10 aosp and I don't have a ics tw rom to look further into.

Alright one more try on one other thing that may work as well, definitely do a nandroid before you try this one as well.

1) Download spn-conf.xml file i have attached onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.

2) Open "spn-conf.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit where you see Verizon Wireless.

3) Save "spn-conf.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "spn-conf.xml" from your SD card to "System/etc" directory.

5) Reboot, and Enjoy!

Grrr lol I can't believe none of those worked, what rom are you running just curious?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
Stock Deodexed Rom with a dozen or so self installed MODs. All I did was root, custom recovery, and start loading up a few favorite mods like:

Time toggle on/off

AM/PM toggle on/off

center clock

small am/pm

expanded setting for MMS

battery full removed

keyboard icon removed

...and a few others.

Otherwise, stock ROM rooted and deodexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natethegreat86:
Well you may want to consider going with a custom rom, things like this are so much easier on a custom rom because dev's enable these type of goodies :D. I don't know why anybody isn't on cm10 builds personally ive been running paranoid android for several weeks as my daily driver with no issues at all. But if you like the TW UI I can understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
well I have painfully gone through each and every XML in framework and none hold the key to removing the carrier name from the lockscreen. I know this because I have swapped each XML from a sprint rom (which does not have the carrier name on the lockscreen) with mine and the Verizon Wireless remained in place. I will go through some of the APKs in /system/app next and see what I can find. I was sure it would have been in framework though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Didact74:
I have a cool crisp $1 bill waiting to be donated to who ever can figure out how to make this go away on a stock, rooted, deodexed, ICS 4.04 ROM. :)

Have you had any luck with this? if not, have you tried this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770698

I think the trick is to add that line about custom carrier rather than attempting to find it by searching for 'verizon' or whatever.

I however, I'm a noob and can't get it working to test myself only because I keep running into errors when using the apktool to recompile after I make changes to the .xml file, but whatever, guess I'll live with it.

If you do some research you'll find that *most* aftermarket batteries do not put out the full mah ratings that they claim to have.

They can label it as a 3000mah battery but that doesn't mean you'll actually get that, these cheap battery manufacturers can't cram more capacity into the same size as samsung does, why can't people understand this?
