To answer question 2:

I would recommend to have a look at the VillainTheme System: [ATTN][DEV] VillainROM and Partners Presents VillainTheme System

This should help in changing the configs dynamically.

I never tried to extract anything to /data, so I don't know about Q1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] evil1art:
Install the app from the market then copy the data/data/ com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder add that to your rom

mount ("ext4", EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/data");

package_extract_dir("data", "/data")
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Stryke_the_Orc:
To answer Q1 - extract the lib files from your phone then place the three lib files in /system/lib folder in the ROM zip.:beer:

I'm not sure about Q2, I've never tried to add settings from install, sorry:o

Hi,

I installed a screen protector that used this fluid when installing the protector (you spray it on the screen and the protector and smush them together). I got a lot of the fluid inside the phone when it was on (I took battery cover off and it was dripping through). Now the phone is acting weird, I am randomly getting USB connected notice, the whole screen has flipped sideways and I cant get it to flip back, when I try to turn off screen flipping the button doesn't do anything (I actually cant turn it on the button just doesn't do anything). Its says media scanning sometimes randomly, and I get this wierd screen after pressing the unlock button from a locked state, a screen Ive never seen before, it has like buttons for home and some others, and when I press home it takes me to my unlock code. Its just acting bizarre. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Thanks

If it was dripping through the phone It probably fried mutliple things inside the phone. Hence the problems your having

Put it in a container with rice or some bread. It will extract the moisture. Don't plug it in until you get it dry. Good luck.

Just like the title says guys, does anybody else feel like this thing in my hand died a long time ago? And to have a physical controller built in isn't enough to keep me on board maybe for alot of the simple minded folks out there but this xplay literally died once something better came my way. Opinions? I know there are haters out there so bring it!

It make plenty sense buddy I've just grown up and gotten tired of the slow laggy unresponsive way behind the times that is the xperia play. Maybe you should wake up also. And to the people who are hoping, wishing, dying for an xperia play 2, you really need to give your head a shake and snap out of that dream your locked into cause it won't happen

It's the best gaming phone and multiple-use device by far.

I've recently upgraded to an HTC One X for my daily use phone because it's faster for everyday tasks, but I keep my Xperia Play close by at all times, switching sims if necessary, because it's just so good for gaming.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

I would Luke to add to TL's comment that I too have had the chance to play with (for about 2 days each) a GS3 and an HTC one x and yes they are sweet devices in their own right. But when push came to shove I bought a unlocked xperia play r800at. And have absolutely no regrets. Especially now that I am on or will be in three weeks a GSM phone, all these choices of roms. I've had a pre opus phone two years ago where I used a gamepad overlay for the phone hardware keyboard and sold it on a heartbeat to buy the Verizon xperia play. There too.... no regrets, except thy it's CDMA. But that's a other story. All in all I feel the play is the best multipurpose phone/gaming device out there. Yes its hardware is dated but that hasn't stopped of from still getting game dev love. And lets not even talk about the thousands of roms for emulators. Especially if you have the emus that have been modded to show up in the game launcher.

On a side note. TL what launcher you use on your phone ? I use an older version of go launcher before it became memory hungry. And my phone is super smooth and fast.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
How many games don't run fluidly on the XPLAY? From what I have installed, none!! TDKR used to lag a bit, but now my phone runs at 1.8ghz it is smooth as silk!!

I have seen a lot of posts recently with people lambasting the XP saying something like their 10.1" tablet + PS3 dualshock is miles better etc, but these people seem to be missing the point of the XP. Portability!!

For example. If I go shopping with the missus, guaranteed she will go into a clothes shop, where she will spend at least an hour. Before I got my XP, I would be bored within 20 mins, get grumpy, start moaning about my feet, then she would get grumpy and we wouldnt talk for the rest of the day.

Now I have the XP, I merely find a seat, bust out Asphalt, Most Wanted, Mini Motor Racing or one of the other great games I have and wait for her to finish. I'm happy, shes happy, we have a good night!!

My point is that it isnt practical to carry a tablet and PS3 controller everywhere with you, and it would look pretty weird sitting in a shop using that combination anyway!! The phone is always there and always ready.
[Xperia Play General] ATTACK:
To each their own...

It all come's down to personal preference. I prefer Android gaming on my Galaxy Nexus or Kyros tablet with a Dualshock 3 and the Sixaxis app, but that doesn't mean i don't like my R800x or that the phone has some sort of "problem" or considered "DEAD". In fact I never had a problem with my R800x and it run's like a champ. There's ton's of great game's that are xp optimized, plenty of custom ROM's, and some awesome theme's:). My son love's it and use's it all the time.

TLR owned the OP sooooo bad.

I agree to every word he says.

+1 to you TLR.

/==(CyberScopes)==\
[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
I don't think anyone can just knock the OP's post. Without some level of manual software installation or modding, the Play is not flawless. I can vouch for this and it's actually the reason my brother got rid of it once his contract expired. You shouldn't have to modify or custom install anything for your device to run smooth. Sure, stock GB is good, but it is not perfect or flawless like some are claiming. The PLAY is a fun and enjoyable gaming device, but its performance is not superb, it's tolerable. I do not think TLR's or some of these other guys' opinions are applicable to 100% Pure stock Xperia PLAY. One thing that pissed me off when I was pure stock was the internal memory running out. Come on guys and/or gals, stop practicing fanboyism and call a spade a spade.

In regards to the OP saying they're looking for something better. If you still wanna give Sony a second chance, check out the Xperia Z. It's between that and the yet to be announced Galaxy S4 for me. Both have pretty high price tags though if you're buying them unlocked.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Well said TLR and ozzmanj1

Without repeating the flawless statements they have already made , :good: to you guys, right on point!

Is the Xperia Play dead? Do XPlay owners need to grow up and move on? No and No, Im 26 and just got an R800at , ditching Verizon and went to Tmobile. I never found my Play to be slow , sluggish or un responsive. Im running a rooted stock debloated rom with holo launcher and I couldn't be happier, it does everything I need and then some (still to this day) and if were ever in discussion about "you have to root and debloat the XPLay to use it" I honestly root and debloat every android device I own, my entire family uses Droid branded androids and I rooted/debloated all of those as well. Rooted = Liberated !

The developer community here is strong, their are some great minds working on stuff for this device still. Cheers to all of them !

I just also built my 20yr old sister an XPlay and she loves it, she took it over the SG3 for the pure gaming factor (smart choice, especially since SG4 is in the works you would be a fool to buy a SG3 now, and of course I built it for her for free) and I even built one for my 7yr old nephew one, I of course removed and possibilities to make phone calls or text and its not in service, he is just gaming away on it. Hands down, the Xperia Play is a great device and I for one and damn happily to own / use it.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

Whilst I'm not disagreeing with you (the xperia play is not a great phone in stock form, too much bloatware, Sony's stupid habit of low storage on every phone etc) I have to say that it does come into its own when modded, even just rooted. The thing is that most phones feel redundant after 6 months or so now and it seems to be a trend. Apple know it, which is why they release an iPhone every 6 month's. The difference is that some people with buy the new, others will mod the old and make it new again. When I had my iPhone 3g years back it was made redundant early on but after jailbreaking it did multitasking, background wallpapers, folders, everything apple said it couldn't!

The thing is that this is xda developers and the main use for this forum is modifying their phones so if someone criticises then it is obvious that other people will tell them to mod.

Talking of criticism, I have been on this forum for years modding various phones, but have never seen so many people criticising a single handset as they do the XP. It's such a shame as for me it is what I have wanted for so long, something that my N-Gage years ago never managed!!

[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
I still can't find in any way a good use for a phone with multi-cores, honestly. Faster with everyday use? Come on! As if you use your phone for cement mixing! The Xperia PLAY is just enough for my business and work needs. As for gaming, TOUCHSREEN GAMING SUCKS BALLS BIG TIME. Oh, get an external controller? Hell, no! I won't be lugging that around! I'd rather buy a gaming desktop rig with all that money spent on a high-end device and an external controller.

[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
You are comparing a 2 years old phone, one with single core old CPU technology against a newer gen quadcore device with highend GPU and 5 times the amount of ram.
[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
No, read it again. I'm actually comparing the Xperia Z to the S4. You quoted only the portions of it that would make your point seem true, lol. Completely out of context.

Anyway, like I said, the Play 100% Pure Stock is not flawless or perfect like some fanboys are claiming lol.

By the way, the reason why the PLAY receives so much criticism is because many ppl had very high expectations for a PlayStation phone. In my opinion, it was better to never release such a device than to release it and not put your best foot forth.

Anyway, it was fun while it lasted. I'm going to the Xperia Z or S4 though.

Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

I've had my play for about 6 months or so, I'm 30 I play games quite a bit on my play. Ics has so many issues (touchpads, lags etc) jb( touchpads work) but it lags in games performance. Stock gb is great for gameing but seeing as how verizon's r800x is cdma there aren't a lot of good roms for gb and not many devs are willing to port gsm roms to cdma. (I am currently trying to port gsm roms to cdma but I'm failing lol) that's my only real complaint is the lack of cdma roms I keep going. Back to gb roms for performance this is by far my favorite phone and am glad I chose it :D
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

The faults are all on the table, there is no one refusing to admit them .. in fact they have been discussed and worked upon. Now, let me add, every device has its faults, no phone has ever been made flawless, and to argue that, by your opinion, would be a fanboy. Nonetheless, ask anyone and read the threads, faults are all out in the open and openly accepted .

This kind of discussion really showed others how X-Play changes our way of life & interest in gaming.

This "1 of kind" device will never be forgotten & always be mention in any discussion that concern mobile gaming. It'll never die.

[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
@216Monster

Oh, now the faults are out there in the open? Way to backstep, lol. The fact that every device has faults does nothing to better the faults of the PLAY, which is the topic at hand. My point, and I think the OP's, is that the Official Play experience is insufficient for high-quality gaming or other performance. I spend a lot of time tweaking, modding, and flashing my PLAY, so yes I make the best out of it, but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that it's "flawless" and "perfect" like some have claimed. You hardcore gamers really make the best of it, and that's great, but I'm tired of having to modify something just to get a top-notch performance "Xperience."

Nevertheless, it's a fun phone, and I enjoy gaming on it, but as far as the future of Sony is concerned, it sure feels like a fun paperweight to me.

Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

To say this phone is dead, when there is so much being done to keep it alive & thriving, shows the lack of respect for the devs that work hard to make sure we the consumer are satisfied with the choices we have made/will make... Yes it's outdated when it comes to specs but we all knew that when we got it... Its up to each of us what we do with it... Those that want the higher end specs sacrifice the physical gaming aspect of this phone. While we can easily do the same things as other phones those same phones can't do what we as xplay users can *sliding gamepad* thats the only thing keeping me from going & getting sg3 or note2 or the :mad: iphone anything... We all voice our opinions but thats all they are is OUR opinions... Can't rant & rave over one mans opinion because there's always going to be the 1upper that feels differently about whatever the crap they want.

Odp: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

I could say that it's going to be dead from the development side. When I think about the development and the amount of roms still being worked on when I got my phone it was insane! I flashed like every 3 days, like a maniac. Now? Maybe 2-3 devs are doing something. I've actually seen only wedgess and CosmicDan doing anything recently. Now when dan's PC is broken i can't see any updates of roms/kernels. If I'm right fxp will soon drop support for us if they didn't already :-\ From this side it's getting dead. I can still run like every game and it's way better to play on a physical buttons - no doubt but I don't love my phone as I used to. Maybe it's just me - hardware enthusiast or maybe it's from seeing the development section getting dead. My phone has gave me a lot of time that I've spent better. I think it is the time to finally release Xperia play 2. Sony is going to get a lot of money because new people will buy it and old Xperia play users would buy it. I guess that se and Sony actually killed our phone by not updating it's kernel or even the rom and that's why devs are abandoning our phone, one after one. Geez I got sad right now :P but I'm still not feeling to get another phone than xplay 2 :P
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

The Play is not dead at all. Just look at the ROM development section. I suppose it all depends on how you look at it though. Specs wise it's dead but for gaming it's not.

[Xperia Play General] leots:
Re: Anybody weeks feel like they have a dead phone?

I tried that too recently, and it works. Before this I was using NXT lite and other ROMs with 1.6 GHz OC, and I couldn't play a lot of games (NFS most wanted lagged a lot for example).

Now I am using the stock ROM debloated, but I didn't install any apps that run in the background like a custom launcher, custom keyboard like I used to, except for Tasker (it uses only 5-6 MB though). I am only overclocking at 1.2 GHz but games run a LOT better now.

I think it is because I didn't install any custom launcher and keyboard through, not because of the ROM necessarily... I think it's the free RAM
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
No, whether you are using stock rom or not, you need to install a custom kernel in order to overclock, and that require unlocked bootloader. You can't overclock with stock kernel.
[Xperia Play General] Flaîm:
i know and i wanted to know if he uses a custom kernel in order to oc, or just keeping stock kernel with stock clocks :P

because when i installed doomlords v14 games went way smoother at 1,4-1,8ghz, but at the same time the touchscreen started feeling like it got a (in comparison to stock kernel) huge delay.
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Nope. Nothin'.

I hold very high regards for all those who create these great tweaks, firmwares, kernels and such...and it's very nice to see how many people have poured hours upon days into making sure their phone was all pimped out... but an even bigger, stronger statement is showing that every ounce of the astounding performance I get daily was obtained on a stock ROM that took me under 25 minutes to get 'prime'. Why? ...because that means the core device is capable enough to do well over it's intended purpose without having to deploy any truly abnormal (or even above-average) proficiency in phone tweaks.

EDIT: As a side note, I'm absolutely floored with amusement of this on-going trend where people (via my YouTube channel) inform me that their technically superior dual-core/quad-core phone/tablet is failing to run a game as well as our *crappy, outdated* Xperia Play does.
[Xperia Play General] brainard52:
Well, being that the phone was meant to be a gaming device, wouldn't it be safe to assume that SE chose hardware more for it's gaming capabilities rather than for it's general use capabilities? I don't know the specifics about the hardware, but that's what I would do if I had to create a device for this purpose.
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
Welcome to my world. I had my first Play unlocked and messed with all the different custom ROMs, OC, etc. However, most of them ended up not able to run many of my purchased games, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a gaming phone. When the USB port on it began to fail, I had it replaced under my Black Tie coverage with Best Buy. The replacement has been stock debloated and tuned to give me the best performance I could do without a lot of extras added on. The Play just happens to be that rare device where custom ROMs and tweaks don't necessarily improve the user experience. That being said, I agree that all of you guys that dev for the Play have come up with some great work and deserve a lot of thanks.
