http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/11/new-game-terraria-digs-down-deep-surfaces-in-google-play/

I don't think it's XPO, but it's definitely worth playing even with the touch screen :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] korrectmethod:
Noticed this on playstore yesterday and it looked interesting. Its not XPO at all but still a fun free game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] D.Spirit:
I don't think I can tolerate playing it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mega5657:
Maybe we should email the devs for xperia play optimization? I think it could work quite well with our touchpads (not for block placements), it would justify a purchase for me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] iRhyiku:
I cant see this game working well with any controller. I have played the PC version to death and it needs a mouse to point and click. Controllers (sticks/touchpads) wont be the same.

If you think it would be, you havnt played the PC version! The precision for some weps you need cant be done with a stick, and digging will be more cumbersome than point what you want to get rid of including blocks behind blocks.

Touchscreen controls I can see working better than a controller due to the reasons I said above, but on a small screen its horrible. I played this on my Note 10.1 and I gotta say its better, but horrible.. it needs a mouse and keyboard :/

Just my two cents ^^
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RoboticBuddy:
I have the PS3 version of Terraria, there isn't much precision as you said, but it's still fun and playable, especially with multiplayer with friends. The controls for the XPlay could be similar to the PS3's, if it does get XPO'd.

A new rom released by yesterday, only working with C6802,check your zu version before flash it.

Thanks, just download finist
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] protostar13:
so i got my z ultra and it immediately was ready for a software update having never rooted my phone before i didnt even think about it and completed the update, i later found out to root my phone i needed the stock firmware 14.1.a.0.??? so i downloaded and tried to follow these directions as best i could.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4gm9VeQCHA

then i was directed to this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2435474 to download the firmware but they all said code above them and then an unclickable website name i tried putting it in the address bar no luck so i found another link with the firmware link that i could load heres a link to where i got it from

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3BbH280MSmoVy1STFRRRDJBQ1k&export=download

then i followed the instructions to flash it on to my phone so now my phone has version 14.1.B.0.475

i tried to root with one click root with no luck not to mention now my sim is messed up i no longer have my straight talk network running on it and everytime i turn my fone off n on everything comes up in chinese again and i have to rechoose my language i tried to redownload the newest software update again since i could not root and it wont let me download the updated software and says i already have the latest software so now im halfway thru downloading this firmware u posted and need to know if theres anything else i need to do along with flashing this do i need to change the kernal and how do i do that does it need to be boot loaded or whatever can u explain what that is and whether or not i need to do it and if so how

thank you for reading
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
First thing read the stickies in the general section here, everything you need is there;)

But here goes again:

Read this thread first (Downgrade thread) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593918 then Lordmanhattan's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569904

You will probably want to flash a 290 or 136 ftf first off, this should restore your imei and calling etc

Then Downgrade to .532 using the thread above

Root the phone with the tool by Bin4ry also mentioned in the downgrade thread

Then you will want to back up the TA partition - see LordManhattan's thread

Then unlock the bootloader if you can and want to - see Lord's thread again

Then you can flash the latest FTF for your model

Once bootloader is unlocked we just have to flash a kernel with recovery (see jackie's or ChillyChan's threads)

Once you have recovery flash SuperSu update from there

All done
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] protostar13:
thank you

thank you and sorry i didnt remember where i had posted it and then i realized it was the imei that was bad so i thought id post it in an imei thread thank youthough for your time if it works i promise ill send you some dough

Glad to be of service, Oxfam will do.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] protostar13:
ok so ive got thru thr root process but it didnt bring up the restore page on my phone but i did see that it is there its a 0.1mb file called RootMe i tried to restore it out of the root tool cuz it didnt come up by itself there was something that came up toward the end that said error 3 in the root page so do i need to just reflash the 290 software to be able to restore with this lil rootme restore file or is it all screwed up the closest version to the version 33 root and restore was the 30 and it seemed like it should have worked is there another way i can do this like one click root or kingo or something a lil less technically involved
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
What root app you using?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] protostar13:
ok so i got rooted some how i tried one click root nothing tried kingo nothing then my phone shut off after kingo just said root unsuccessful and i sot a supersu app so i tried downloading some root only apps like adfree and superuser and both downloaded i checked adfree with my words with friends app and works well so now do i need to do all the ta partition and the rest to get back to the 136 software or can i just flash it and untick a few things and which ones would those be if i can do it that way i could care less about the bootloader or unlocking or whatever i want the quickest way to keep my imei and be on 4.3 with my supersu and u can send me that address for your cash to protostar13@hotmail.com

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Any ideas? I am heading towards flashing again the rom!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] smithy318i:
my xda2 has stopped working

i tried switching it on and nothing happens.

Thought it was the battery but have replaced it with my spare one. same problem

wont charge from cradle or wall charger (not even the led lights up)

light turns red if no battery in and charger connected.

tried reset (soft and hard)

is it time for a new one or can it be fixed?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] qube62:
XDA2 won't turn on

It could be the locking switch in the battery compartment.

When you move it to remove the battery it uses the backup battery to retain the memory contents (you get about 20 minutes so I read somwhere) and when you lock it again the battery becomes enabled.

If this is faulty then no XDA. One thing I found out to my cost is if you move the switch without the battery in, when you put it back in and turn it on it's done a hard reset and everything's gone.

You said the battery is charged but just to be sure, stick it in the charger slot on the stand for a while and try again. Putting a flat battery in by mistake has the same result as messing with the switch.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] smithy318i:
I dont know why it did it but i left it without a battery in for about 2 hours and put the battery back in, and now it works.

Hard reset as you would expect !

So, Tap and Pay does not work with the c6606 variant. Does it work on the other variants?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] std396:
Not working on c6602 either.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
i don't think tap and pay will ever work on the 6606 (wrong nfc hardware) on the 6602 and 3, if you are running 244, the libs are not correct so it won't work on that rom, on earlier roms (423) hopefully in the next update sony enables the smx libs

*edit got the new wallet tap and pay working on 244

Does this work on the c6606 variant?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
It works

It sure does..

tested on C6506 XZL on T-Mobile. :good::good::good:

Update:

Although wallet shows Tap and Pay is activated/possible, actual NFC activation do not happen.

New wallet app still works with 4.1.2 ROM.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] enrique71:
It's not working, I tried it at two stores and the card reader doesn't pick up the phones NFC.. Has anyone confirmed you can make nfc purchases?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
confirmed 8 purchases (tap and pay) on the 6602
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] enrique71:
Odd, Are you on the new firmware ? 2.67 ? I am and it did not work.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
no, I'm on 244...didn't know 2.67 was available. someone else said they had a problem with 67 as well
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] enrique71:
I am on the ZL (c6506) running 2.67. The wallet app opens up fine and the screen displays tap and pay is ready ... but when you try bumping nothing happens, so something with the lib was likely changed in .67 that doesn't allow the build.prop kludge to work.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
a logcat would tell the error...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
ogdobber,

thanks for your valuable input to this thread.

Since you are a developer, I am hoping that attached logcat file (generated for a failed NFC attempt at POS) will be helpful in suggesting possible options to make it work.

this is for XZL C6506 for 4.2.2 (.244 ROM) and latest Goggle Wallet (v2) APP.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
i need more specifics as I see no big errors in the logcat...I need to know where to look.

i take it tap and pay set up right?

can you post your build.prop?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
Here you go...

What I have found that only 'ro.nfc.se.smx.enable=true' is required for wallet to enable tap and pay.

Rest all (ro.product.name, ro.product.device & ro.product.model) does not matter with V2 wallet app. But have changed it to GNex values anyways.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
i still need to change (mnd) to get wallet setup, after that I have been able to revert, so yes, changing the build.prop to galaxy nexus is still necessary.

so I still need specifics...

from what I understand, you tried to make a purchase at a tap and pay terminal right?

what happened? nothing?

has anyone on a 6506 got it working? on the newer firmwares (244 and 67)?

my only guess at this point is to revert the nfc apk.

or maybe dig into the nfc.access xml and check the wallet key
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
Yes you are correct.

Wallet V2.0-R133-v9 - Tap and pay enabled, with above build.prop changes.

nothing happens when I try and use at NFC terminal.

haven't heard anyone got it working on 6506.

Revert NFC.apk from where? do you have a version that I can try? (I have .244 firmware)

And where would I find nfc.access xml? (sorry for my ignorance)

thanks for your help.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
well I said revert, but there isn't a same device 4.2.2 nfc apk that works for the 6506

but, we have been able to get wallet working on "like" devices...

since the 6602/3 is pretty much the same, we could probably use those files

6602 nfc files

system/app/nfc.apk

system/app/nfc.odex

system/app/nfc-handover.apk

system/app/nfc-handover.odex

system/etc/nfcee_access.xml

system/lib/libnfc.so

system/lib/libnfc_jni.so

system/lib/libnfc_ndef.so

system/lib/hw/nfc.msm8960.so

I'm guessing if you just pushed from a 244 6602/3 rom the nfc.apk and nfc.odex in that would take care of the reader problem

of course make a backup, nfc will force close right away if it is incompatible

If still no, add the rest (one by one if you want to know which one did the trick)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] enrique71:
Well, I couldn't get wallet to work on my c6506 on any 4.2.2 load, so I reverted back to the. 253 firmware (4.1.2) and now works great, no more tap and pay issues running the newest wallet version. Has anyone gotten this to work on 4.2.2?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
Can you please share nfc.apk and nfc-handover.apk from your device?

I have a deodexed ROM for my 6506, and I tried them extracting from 6502/3 FTF and deodexed APKS. But as soon I replace them, NFC option disappears from settings.

Rest all the files in etc,lib folders are same.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
my rom is odex. find a deodex flashable 244 rom from a 6602 or 6603 and push the in via adb (or flash) don't copy and paste with a root explorer...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Rookie123:
ogdobber.

well... sad news for us..

Picked ROM 'RomAur v8.1 AROMA UB/LB C6603 jb4.2.2' based on .244

extracted NFC related files and using adb pushed them to respective directories and changed permissions.

Still device does nothing on tap to NFC enabled POS. :(

Hope you have some other insight.

UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED

Here it is: TWRP 2.6.3.0

I've tested backing up / restore, wiping, and installing an old backup (from ver. 2.6.0.0) and all seem to work. I also included the flag "HAVE_SELINUX := true" so it should be compatible with the newer 4.3 based ROMs (needs tested).

To install:

Download and unzip file ("img" was a few bytes over the 8mb forum limit)

fastboot flash recovery XT901-XT907-TWRP-2.6.3.0-recovery.img

BUGS: I have had the screen start very dim. Sometimes restarting the recovery would fix it, otherwise go to settings / screen, and set the timeout short so it goes out. Press power to turn on and it is at full brightness.

Enjoy!!

Thanks to:

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] keyman91:
Thank you! Just tested it briefly and it works great. Glad the recovery is finally fixed to be able to use ADB. Was unable to use any TWRPs from 2.5.0.0+ as ADB was broken in the recovery.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jbaumert:
CM 10.2 Build removed due to errors.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mic213:
The recovery built with the 10.2 sources seems to have an issue with mounting the internal storage and sdcard, but the 1st one built is running perfect. I made a flashable zip of the 2.6.3.0 recovery for anyone who wants to simply flash it in recovery.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jbaumert:
[MENTION=2394588]mic213[/MENTION], Thanks for the sanity check. Any chance you have tried backup / restore of a 4.3 build?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
I was able to backup with it. Still hangs at reboot.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jbaumert:
Do you mean when you reboot from TWRP? I noticed that on other builds, but didn't think much of it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Kyles1329:
Recovery Tools is a free app on Google Play. Simply download the Recovery IMG. file from this post, and then open the Recovery Tools app. Grant it root, and now you can simply flash the img. file from the app without having to go into fastboot or compress the file into a flash able zip. Once recovery is flashed phone will reboot into whichever recovery is the most recently flashed. About as basic and straight forward as can be.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

The recovery file works great, only bug after about 4 days of use would be the dim menu screen in recovery. Still very readable even when bug pops up. Thanks for the great upload
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] scottocs:
Thanks. I could never get 4.3 to reboot past the initial boot after install, and now it finally does.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Kyles1329:
just make sure everything is wiped and that you are using 4.3 Gapps, also look up the SuperSU 1.65 update, some people have had trouble keeping root when rebooting into 4.3. Flash 4.3 ROM then GAPPS followed by SuperSU update, I would suggest running 4.3 on TWRP 2.5 or 2,6 first. Once your able to run 4.3 on one of those, then good ahead and try flashing 2.6.3. If anything on your phone is 4.2 and trying to load onto 4.3 it will never make it far past the boot screen.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] motoroid7:
Edited because I started rambling and couldn't delete.

Long story short, I have been having issues wiping, installing, and recovering.

I was flashing from a 4.3 ROM to another 4.3 ROM and decided it would be a good idea to wipe internal. Messed me up good.

I went back to 4.2 finally fixed booting issue on getting stuck at boot image. (Wasn't even making it to the boot animation.) I'll wipe everything except internal like I did before and go from 4.2 to 4.3. Last time I did this I didn't have issues.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
This happened to me on TWRP too. When I went to restore, it say that it failed. However, I decided to boot into system anyway. TWRP gave me a warning that no OS was installed but I went ahead and rebooted. It booted into my backed up ROM just fine but it needed to be set up, like I just had flashed it. Basically, the restore process restored everything but my data. I did a barebones set up then booted back into recovery and went to restore the same exact ROM. This time, I got my complete ROM, just as I had saved it. This is kind of a long process, but it's better than having to FXZ or using a utility to go back to stock.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] motoroid7:
It's too bad I can't seem to locate the delete button on these posts, I'll go ahead and edit it. I was finally able to flash LiquidSmooth v2.9 (Android 4.2). It finally booted up, I just went back in and flashed gapps. It restarted fine. The real test is going to see if I go to hit a regular reboot and it boots up normally again. If that's the case I'm fixed. I would like to flash back to SlimROM that I had, but it seems that's going to probably be difficult without it messing up again. Not sure what to do if it does again. I won't be wiping internal memory anymore. I didn't have issues going from 4.2 to 4.3 when I didn't do it.

Any idea why I get a funky e:error: unknown media 'datamedia' error all the time in TWRP? I've had that error since like v2.3.x.x
