[Shield Q&A] Zathu:
I spent some time working this today on a Galaxy S III. I pulled over a number of APKs, libraries, and resources from the official shield image version 01.00.8857_222.8013. I worked through a number of errors visible through logcat that were traced to missing files. The stop point for me was this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.nvidia.roth.dashboard/com.nvidia.roth.dashboard.DashboardActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to find native library: UICViewer

Now, this error implies that it can't access the /system/lib/libUICViewer.so file. I see online that NVIDIA has a "UI Composer" offering for instrument clusters and infotainment systems that run off the Tegra platform. It looks to me that they've recycled this component for the shield.

So, I'm stopping here for now with the conclusion that this library is tied to the Tegra hardware. But.. maybe not the just shield hardware. If someone wants to pick this up on another Tegra device, here's the files/folders I had pulled in from the image:

Impressively comprehensive, but you actually snagged on an issue with Android, not with protection. There is a bug logged against Google for it.

[Shield Q&A] Zathu:
Very good sir. I'm pondering if this can be worked around by running Dashboard.apk as user app instead and feeding the libs through /data/lib/. My attempt to do so yielded the following:

E/AndroidRuntime(29926): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.nvidia.roth.dashboard/com.nvidia.roth.dashboard.DashboardActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URI content://com.nvidia.roth.provider

Not sure where the provider should be coming from. Tracking that down next.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
RothProvider.apk
[Shield Q&A] Zathu:
Cool, thanks. Now we're getting somewhere. The dashboard now launches to a black screen and I see a ton of messages related to uic.

Some selections:

W/Log ( 4528): : ./../../../Source/UICRender/Source/UICRenderBufferManager.cpp(341): - eDEBUG_WARNING Failed to load mesh: /system/etc/uic/dashboard/models/IB_textBox/Meshes/Shell_top.mesh

W/Log ( 4528): : ./../../../Source/UICRender/Source/UICRenderBufferManager.cpp(210): - ePERF_WARNING Image /system/etc/uic/dashboard/maps/effects/Selector_Gradient.dds is DXT format which is unsupported by the graphics subsystem, decompressing in CPU

E/Lua ( 4528): loadfile failed: /system/etc/uic/dashboard/scripts/ScriptDrivenImage.lua

Each one of these three has dozens of similar messages. The first and third I can't say why it would fail, as I've verified that the app can access the uic files by su'ing to the app's uid and cat'ing them within the shell. Went ahead and tried giving the files world write too.

I suspect the second message would be related to Tegra, but would still allow things to work at a reduced speed.

Tommorow the Nvidia shield is going to be launched... :S, Anyone else in the XPlay community nervous that our play will die soon? :rolleyes:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pizza_user:
No it not a true console, it just streaming for 5 meters around in our house..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
The shield; while interesting, has always looked like an awkward device without enough focus, direction or market manipulation to be truly successful.

This is just screaming "Archos Gamepad-level fail" and sounds like it's support may fall apart just as fast as Tegra Zone did. Xperia Play; on the other hand, flipped the switch on every reviewer that tried to bash it, and STILL has actually had it's rate of game development grow. Bashers that relied heavily on "It never got the PlayStation Suite, only has like 50 games and only records at 480p!" are eating a five-course meal of humiliation as we record in HD, bask in our hundreds of (high rating) games, and check in every Tuesday for PlayStation goodies like Sword of Rapier, Alien Breed and Chaos Rings.

To quote a rapper that I actually really hate: "I ain't worried 'bout nothin!"

Who knows though? Maybe ill be wrong, eat my own words and end up toting one. Judging by all the devices like Moga which are struggling to even get 10% of what the Xperia Play has...that's not likely.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korrectmethod:
I'm not worried either. Android games may be slowly outpacing our phone, but emulators are just getting faster. With ps1, n64, psp, and hopefully nds soon, our library of games is good enough that I could do without the play store.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondBond:
True, but maby xda devs might change build.prop in most custom roms and stuffs to Xplay and might makes some tool to remap to xPlay Controls... so they might steal our precious games, well this is what im thinking... :/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondBond:
Hmm i like your argument very much, also i agree with the Marketing as the xPlay had amazing marketing, like tv internet and everything, but like i said to Pizza_User, im sure this device might be bought by devs and im sure they will optimize it for more games via ripping of its identity to the xPlay and then they will remap some controls, so it will kinda be like the play i guess when devs kick in!, but it will never truely be like that, :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondBond:
Yes, The Emulator Library beats em all!, ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radon_22:
As Apple and Google build in controller support at the API level on their respective next gen OSes, it will be easier for devs to include gamepad support without having to cater to each controller. Should be huge for portable gaming.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
[MENTION=5312613]Fenrir007[/MENTION] i completely agree with that. Alos if you look at the voting on the website it doesnt look to good for nvidia. Also the device looks like a controller and its pretty large and bulky. I would never want to carry something like that around. I think id be embarassed to pull it out. Now the play is more portable, a phone, and looks a lot better. If it had a slim design and nice look they would probably get more sales even if the controller is more comfortable to hold

Thats a retarded device, seriously? That looks like a stupid XBox 360 Controller with a screen. F*** Microsoft and their Xbox, and also Nvidia. WTF, that won't make even get better than a Play, because its super bulky, and way to huge, compared to our Play, that may be bulky but can go from slim to bulky, that piece of c*** is nothing but a badly designed Moga Controller with a phone.

"Xperia PLAY. Laugh all you want but its still my daily driver and I love playing Modern Combat 4 online on it. Plays buttery smooth. Also I don't have to carry a moga or other adapter whereas the PLAYs built in game controls/triggers and touchpads make playing over 500 xperia play optimized games a blast.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I'm on Sprint so the Xperia Play was always a second device for me to carry around. I bought a Shield and am happy with it. If I was on a carrier and used the Play as a phone I would have stuck with it. I can totally understand why the Shield might fail and I even know that going in. However, I bought it mainly to emulate older games and have them be portable and for that purpose it is a better device for me due to the nice screen, powerful hardware and much more comfortable controls.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondBond:
Your opinion is valid, :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Please be aware I am not out to bash the nvidia shield. I thinks its got some killer specs. But I just don't see it taking away the handheld prize from Nintendo. The PSP is still outselling it's younger far more powerful brother the Vita. As someone who owned years ago a Droid 2 and a gamepad that sat over the keyboard to play games with before switching to the XP. I just don't see the reason for carrying multiple devices. I know nvidia makes good stuff and it does have a seriously nice looking controller setup and awesome inferno specs. Clearly shield mops the floor with our beloved phone. But if you look at the PLAY for what it is Ans for the fact of not carrying two devices around. The PLAY is the obvious choice in my opinion.

before buying that crap (NVIDIA SHIELD) (in my opinion) I have purchased the base Gameklip (http://i.imgur.com/qe9grfk.jpg) and connect to my Xperia Play and games all my games via streaming PC, for example: NFS Most Wanted:

[YOUTUBE]sf6WDwx7QtM[/YOUTUBE]

PS: you can also configure the pad of the Xperia Play, and using GameKeyboard, we can configure the analogues, (but the streaming is played while at home, it's more like a PS3 controller)

I start the games on my PC, and if I get tired of being cooped up, play in the yard, or lying in my bed (or even in the bathroom) lol ..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDigitalPhantom:
IF I had not lost my Xplay somewhere (it is around somewhere...lol) and I had not already bought a Shield (stares at shield on desk). I would still buy a shield because I never used the gamepad on the xplay as using it hurt my hands (psp, gameboy, nds, ps3 controller, etc ,etc did too). PLUS comparing android to android the shield has better specs. IMHO the xplay was painfully slow.

Please run 3d mark on your xplay and post results. I will post if you do.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekasangredevago:
obviously at the Xperia Play hardware far behind.

but it has enough to run games (PS1, PSP & NDS (very soon), GBA, N64, SegaDreamcast (this emulator already cast, but the developer does not release the apk) and also many android games, which even out for our up Device. shame that "Sony" did not realize that people would have liked more (two analogues) in the style of the PSP., and add buttons (L2 & R2) also used in several PSone games., but what I most like "Xplay" .. which remains the only (smartphone-console) in the world, with unique design .. as it is the only thing you can carry in your pocket .. ;)

oh and my punctuation in the AnTuTu is 5400 (approximately) but it is very important to me, because the interface is smooth and stable, with a custom rom & custom kernel (no overclocking) and with over 100 app installed.
