But wouldn't that set the graphics settings to very high and make the game laggy on our aged hardware?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
Can someone say exactly what changes we need to make to build.prop to be able to buy the game please?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Visa Declined:
Probably, but it might still be playable. The graphics were set to high by default on my Nexus 7 but there's quite a bit of lag when driving in vehicles. It's worth it though because the game looks bad on low settings.

The Nexus 4 has a "very high" setting unlocked and the graphics are pretty insane.

Hopefully one of you guys can enable at least medium settings for the PLAY and tell us if it's playable. We can always overclock if need be.

The controls are awful, you can't use the d-pad, yes it looks better but it has annoying loading times compared to Rio.

I'm using the official ROM.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
I have actually no plans on buying it from Play store, but instead from the wapshop. Will be waiting for it. BUT... if compatibility will still be a problem and graphics are not good, then I'll pass.

GL is starting to drop support. :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SteelDragonX:
The controls of this game is very bad. Don't have automatic camera while walking.

Here, with Gin2jellybean, 1.6GHZ, this game still with lags. The other Gangstar games have the same problem. GTA series looks better, with much more speed and smother.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
I don't know why most of you had bad gameplay experiences with Gangstar Rio. It was the best I think as it had no lags for me with everything stock.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Visa Declined:
GTA might look better on your phone, but on mine, with the details cranked, this game is wayy prettier.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
I'm playing Rio right now and I do experience lag some times, usually when there's lots of moving objects on screen.

I'm on stock, unrooted.

Anyway that game - Rio is a horrible, horrible parody of itself.

There is no cutscene where they would not say "f-u-c-k" at least three times. Also the characters are very unlikeable and I totally HATE the radio stations and what they play. I think any GTA game is better than this horrible knock-off. The only redeeming quality of Rio is its environment as I quite enjoy being in South America for a change...

Why I typed all of this, is that I assume this latest Gangstar game must be pretty much the same (?) - someone correct me on this - and I'm not going to invest that much money into it.

All that said, I feel oddly compelled to at least beat the Gangstar Rio, because I must have started it already like 5 times, but never beaten it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CriGiu:
Man it's strange but it shows as incompatible with my r800i (on stock rom)..maybe it's a country related issue

Controls!

After actually downloading the game from the market via faking build.prop and etc... I finally installed and downloaded data...

I was extremely exited at the fact it wasnt lagging (In the intro and etc...) on NORMAL GFx Settings on my Bane Of Speed Rom + 1.6 GHz Overclock ,:D

So once i dived into gameplay it was fine and ok but little laggs here and there so i put the settings to low and played and it was butter

Once i started to realise that the left analog was for DRIVING i was already dead... :X as moving with it is WAY to sensetive and so i tried using D-Pad and nothing...

So i got by that and thought that might be the only "bad" part, so i used the right analog, and I cant describe the Disgustingfull Glitchyness + Unresponsiveness + INVERTNESS (not even a setting to change this, :/) and i tried playin the second mission after already being frustrated at the horrible aiming...

As i was playing i cant run properly... The run control only runs the way ur facing not walking so i was upset as the run and look are on right hand side of the gamepad so u have to move ur WHOLE Left thumb to the right!, this was stupidly retardly idioticly moronicly insanely .... (no appropriate words here to discuss this...) so i ignored that... and i tried just running in the 2nd misson to the dude and it was so frustrating and hard...

I replayed this mission 6 times and was unable to complete it!, Eventually out of frustration i dident even Exit the game i just went home and turned off my device.... :(

Worse part was i had passed my 15 minute refund window, so now im stuck with a game that has the WORST control optimization EVER, This is even worse than Blitzbrigrade and WHOA Was that bad!

GameLoft must have been getting Monkeys to code for the Xperia Play Controls, Hell i dont even think they test it anymore!, :/

Shame on You gameloft, SHAME!

So after my semi-rant, i want to ask is their anyway (besides changing build.prop) To use onscreen controls?, As ive tried launching it in normal mode (no gamepad out) and no luck, ive also browsed the settings countlessly...

And i know the controls are onscreen but they are hidden so i can use the controls but do u know how hard it is to use controls that dont exist?

So Yea, Anyone PLEASE help me with this!, :)

Thanks in Advance u Awesome Girl/Guy!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
Well after seeing how much it sucked on the xperia play I tried it on my nexus 10 and it was awesome. I'm going to try mc4, and other Gameloft games on there to see how well they run. Sorry for off topic but hopefully Gameloft will improve xperia play support since it seems they added it as a second thought without really caring

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CyberScopes:
Lots of people have been showing no respect to gameloft lately, u guys should be happy they made it xperia play optimized cause im pretty sure hardly anyone play their games on an xperia play, and they have lots of other devices which they could focus on and make the game better instead of the xperia play (which is quite old now). Remember they rather go with the more "profitable" choices (iOS devices and the most used android devices) since there is much more people using them and they get more money.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
That is true but what's the point in optimization if its so terrible that its unplayable? I'm still grateful for their support in the past but I think they're finally going to stop :(

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
Game is incompatible on R800i as everyone already knows so I tried changing build.prop properties to R800x (which worked in the case of AvP:E) but still incompatible. Any more R800 variant I should try?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] korrectmethod:
You could try r800at
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
I would really love to get this game legally.

I tried editing build.prop to R800a, R800at, R800x, Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo L, and Galaxy S and still incompatible. :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
Now this is disturbing.

Compatible on a slower and less capable phone than the Xperia PLAY?

It's my friend's X10 and it is really slow even after fresh reflash, so I think it's just right to say it's slower despite being having NEARLY the same H/W as the PLAY.

GAMELOFT, SORT THIS OUT!!! :mad:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Visa Declined:
I commend you for having morals, and refusing to pirate this(and other) Android games. If I was you, I would purchase the game on any device I could, even if the device isn't yours. That way, your conscious would be clear, and you could find an APK for Gangstar Vegas on the internet to download.

Even though GL has optimized Gangstar Vegas recently, it still plays like ass on low-end devices like the Xperia Play. I can't help but feel that when you do finally get the game on your device.. you will be let down by how poorly it looks and runs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
I actually tested the cr@cked version just to have a quick overview of the game and also to test its performance and controls optimization. But me being OC about downloading games LEGALLY, I would really love to pay for this game.

As for the test I did, it ran fine on my Play at Low settings and I actually got to the 'long chase' mission (and enjoyed it) despite having that stupid bug of not being able to turn while sprinting.

EDIT: Maybe tomorrow I'll try editing my build.prop to X10i. Wish me luck.
[General Questions and Answers] dino10:
Hello,

I have successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Xcover GT-S5690 and i used root app delete (free on market) to delete system apps that i found useless. And then i found a guide to expand internal memory using sd card, but in the steps given it says that i have to do a factory reset. So i wonder if factory reset will do any harm to my phone due to deleting system apps with apk given above?
[General Questions and Answers] Bruce Wayne:
no.

If your phone can reboot without any problems after deleting those apps, I believe you won't have any problems after resetting it. Is factorytest.apk still in your phone?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] phy7pmd:
Hi All,

Thanks for all the good suggestions I've got from this site over the last couple of days. I have a new problem for you now...

I see from searching this site that loads of people have had problems using the XDA / XDA II as a wireless modem, but I can't piece together quite what I have to do to get it working with bluetooth.

I've got the pdf from the o2 site, but it's not very clear, and I think it's targeted to W2000 not XP, which is what I have.

SO..... Would somebody be kind enough to let us all know what the step-by step process is to get a laptop, for example, talking to the internet via the XDA II, via BLUETOOTH.

I have the latest o2 ROM, so I have those 2 new check boxes in Bluetooth settings. Most of the laptop setup is ok, but I think the major question is regarding the ports.....

Which port is the XDA talking on?

Which port is the laptop talking on?

How do I make them talk to each other?

And to add to this question - the o2 pdf presumably gives instructions such that we end up using the GPRS line. Can this be modified to use the cellular line to dial up a standard ISP so I can use up some of my free minutes (that's what I do when surfing on the XDA II)?

Sorry it's a bit waffly - PLEASE help! Thanks very much!

Oddly enough, a file called Using Xda II as a Modem.

Worked for me.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] phy7pmd:
Oddly enough... that's the pdf I'm talking about.

It's not very clear about the COM ports - it says to select the "correct COM port for your connection", so the bit I'm asking about is how to decide upon or determine which is the correct com port for my connection. The important issue here is the bluetooth communication.

It's step-by-step modem and connection guide is also incorrect for XP (mine anyway - as I said, I suspect it's written for 2000, not 2000/XP), so there could be errors in my modem setup - I need to make sure that's not the case as well.

Any more ideas?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] phy7pmd:
OK - let me put this another way - Before pressing connect on the WModem program on the XDA II, do you have to setup a bluetooth serial connection to the PC? If so, HOW? How do you simply make the connection?

Please help - somebody?

Thanks,

Phil
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Dingo:
Just to make sure we are on the same document

http://www.myxda.com/html/HowToUse/XdaII/How to setup Wireless Modem for Bluetooth.htm

You first install your bluetooth adapter on your PC and this should install a bluetooth modem on your PC. You then configure that as described in the first section "Desktop setting:" make sure you change the word internet with your service providors APN in the advanced setting string.

Thats your PC side finished for now. no connections made yet.

Ok on to the XDA II, follow the instructions in the next section "Getting Start:" Steps 1 - 6 are all on your XDA II. Now it is waiting to be a modem. Move to your PC and follow the rest of the steps and you hsould get connected.

I used the O2 free WAP APN for my connections when i set it up. This meant having to set the proxy in IE just as you do on the XDA II if you want to browse. This gives limited function for anything other than browsing but for free thats fine for me.

I have not yet tested an ISP using this method but it will be a matter of removing the advanced string in the modem settings and using your ISP details and phone number in the dial pop up instead of *99#. I have done this before with my old nokia 7650.

Also remember if dialing into an ISP like that instead you will only get 9600 baud rate as opposed to the 42k odd that GPRS will give you. However this is fine for most light emails and IMs etc.

Oh and i did bond the 2 devices first. i nearly forgot that.

I Hope this helps you get sorted.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Michiel:
It works fine for GPRS. However when I try to connect to an ISP, I get a "line is busy" message. Any clues?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] phy7pmd:
Dingo - you're great. That's got it.

The pdf that's on the user guide section of 'under the bonnet' section in the XDA site is

http://smsgen.o2-uktech.com/xda2/Xda_II_Modem_Setup_Guide.pdf

which is NAFF!

Your instructions are much better!

I'll try the ISP method soon - I'll let you know if it works.

Cheers!

Phil
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] phy7pmd:
OK - looks like I've got the ISP method working.

The process on the XDA is identical, but the modem settings are slightly different. The extra initialisation string can be done away with, and in the security tab of the connection (in network connections) "typical" must be selected rather than "advanced".

Other than that, it's all the sam, for me at least. I use UK2 as my ISP. It's very handy - no registration required.

Hope this helps.

Phil
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Michiel:
ISP works for me too. I had to change in CSD line type the data rate to 9600 bps(v.32).

Being used to ADSL, 9600 bps brings back memories :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] andythornton:
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread - it's helped me connect my laptop to the net thru my XDA2 over bluetooth for the first time!

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might clear up for me:

1. I've used "mobile.o2.co.uk" in the init string and dialled with *99# which works but the XDA doesn't show any change to the connection icon. Is it using GPRS or data over voice or magic?!

2. Although web and mail downloads works great, I can't send email - I get it returned saying '550 relay not permitted'. A port issue I guess? Can that be solved?

Thanks for your time - keep up the good work.

Andy.

Here is the S4 RDF latest entry...
