Title says it all - a new N64 emu appeared on the market and is currently on sale.

Anyone tried it yet? Is it better than Mupen?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Enri1196:
May i ask you to add a link please?? XD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] faisaldante:
heres the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spencorp.n64

It actually looks legit.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
"We cannot tell you where to get games, but inside the app you'll find some help!"

I actually LOL-ed. Surely they don't condone piracy do they?

Anyway, please anyone with Xperia Play would you kindly share your experience with the emulator?

I am especially curious about people with stock ROM and NO overclock, just your standard Xperia Play (which I happen to have). Does it support hardware buttons? Thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Jammz:
Its based on the sources from mupen64 ae+ and as this is licensed under the GPL the features of this emulator will also be in the next release of mupen. So unless the dev screwed up it will support buttons and touchpad. Buy this app if you'd like to support him.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] clivejefferies:
Mupen sucks. Has always been slow.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
Whatever happened to N64oid by the way? That was the best one for our Xperias imho. It seems it has disappeared without a trace.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] korrectmethod:
You can still find the apk on various websites. Use google ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
You can still buy it legit from slideme.com

Link - http://m.slideme.org/application/n64oid

Ps. Just sore a comment on there and it appears there is still work being done on it (I hope not given up on)

Check it (pre - alpha v2.8) running killer instinct without to many glitches.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM4M4nv_A0E

It can play Donkey Kong 64 too unlike the v2.7 the public has had for over a year without an update.

N64oid is still the best N64 emu to date in my opinion.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mehdi.moha:
yes , n64oid is always the best , but unfortinatlly , i couldn't finish the paper mario ! so many glitch ...

nice to hear update after 2 years , do you have any news about 2.8 version ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Fenrir007:
No one tested it yet?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] |SavageD|:
If this emulator is based entirely on mupen, it is almost guaranteed to be slow...it doesn't even work properly on computers, I personally hate that emulator. Unless someone creates/editys an amazing dynarec recompiler like youngzh. There is no way i see this emulator as being able to move full speed on xperia play devices...

Also, on a side note, why does no one include sound compression in emulators like these. Sound compression goes a long way in increasing emulation speed. Just burns me every time the option isn't included in emulators. :/

Could we still be 2 weeks away from the 1st roll out?
[Galaxy S 4 General] winwiz:

It might be a beta version which has leaked

[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
We can still have 3 more weeks to wait...

And let's not forget Samsung was forced to update the s4 to 4.3 as to not fall back to HTC One (which has 4.3 for a week already).

Otherwise this android version would be kept just for the note 3, to boost is sales, while the s4 would get the "premium suite" based on 4.3 in December.

[LG Optimus Black] jantdroid:
Hi! I would like to ask your opinion on these kinds of tweaks. Currently I am using IZS v2..

Tweaks that I have is

"TurboBoost" and "Crossbreeder"

I am planning on installing "Wolfscript" as well. Show your impressions and what are your tweaks to speed up/save batt on your OB?
[LG Optimus Black] jason600:
Turboboost uses internal storage (system/data/cace) as swap memory, like virtual memory using your hard disk on your PC, allowing you to run apps that need a lot of memory.

Crossbreeder is entropy and net tweaks, such as parallel dns calls and adblock.

Both work well on any rom, and are recommeded.

The only other tweak package I'd recommend would be v6 supercharger with patched services.jar for better multi tasking.

Most of the others tend to be build.prop tweaks etc, device specific stuff and generic tweaks, all of which would already be included on any custom rom. Might benefit someone running a stock rom though. Ususally they cause more problems than it's worth.

I've replaced the camera of my i9505 since it was broken.

But the camera will not focus.

Do I need to upgrade the firmware of the camera after the replacement?

If so, how can this be achieved?

Videos on YouTube app seem a bit more pixelated than on 4.1 even when set to HQ/HD. Battery drains very quickly. Plus pictures in landscape mode appear to be cropped from above.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
If you are on stock firmware, you might want to consider turning off or disabling all the unnecessary bloatware like Samsung apps that you know you are not using or want to use.

1. Go to Settings > Applications > Swipe right till you hit All Applications

2. Start scrolling down and finding apps you don't use (avoid apps that don't have icons or have weird names you don't know about)

3. click on application and hit "Turn off"

Don't worry you can enable them if you want later. This is just disabling so they are not used and will save you a lot of battery and RAM.

If you are still having several problems, you might want to consider taking a backup of your data and then doing a factory reset (you don't need root for this)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougie175:
Please go easy on me if this has been asked before or it is in the wrong section.

Basically the xperia t seems to have a bug with Bluetooth volume, this has been put to Sony many times but they are not interested.

The situation is that I can connect my Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth car connect, all the volumes are already set to max, I press the volume up button and this will confirm the volume for Bluetooth is also at max, however the volume is sill only really about half.

However if I go to settings, sound, volumes I can see they are all set to max, however if I touch the ringer volume to max it will play my ringtone, beating in mind it was already at max I was just redoing the max. However after doing that the volume is doubled, much more like the level I would expect.

This seems like a glitch to me?

What I want to know or would really appreciate help with is, if I root my phone can I apply some sort of mood or custom Rom or something that could fix this issue for me.

Other than this and the WiFi dropping out which I can live with, I love the firmware, but I know no better really.

I am happy to root my phone and even install a custom Rom if that's the best solution and it will fix the issue, but I would also be happy keeping the Sony firmware as I like it, just can't live with ridiculously low volume in the car, and don't want to have to spend time fiddling about to correct the volume issue every time before I can set off.

Please go easy on me if I have done wrong, I would just really appreciate any help our advice anyone can give me. Thank you

"To change the softkeys on the Today screen

The left-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112', the right-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113'

Hello, I've noticed, that in every internet browser after changing user agent in options no settings are taken over. Means all the time mobile versions of the websites. How the hell make it force work ?

That's the website's fault. I've had the same problem on several devices and browsers. See if the website has its own full version link (usually at the bottom of the page).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dexter666:
It's not website's fault, becouse the same browser on other phone is working in desktop mode on chosen website, while on XZU website is still in mobile mode and clicking "full view" is not working on every of them (but the last part is irrelevant).

Well then it might be Chrome. There is no ****ing way that Android on this particular device will not let you change to a full version site, so try a different browser and see if that helps (Firefox, Opera etc.).

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Hi all,

I’m having this problem (bug?) with booting the phone after uncheck “Optimised backlight” option under display in setting.

Basically, with the “Optimised backlight “option checked by default the phone boots fine. However, with the option ticked off, there is a greyish screen after the Sony logo and before the Xperia logo come on. The grey screen can last between 5 to over 30 minutes. I had to shut down the phone using the red bottom under the sim card slot many times.

I’d like to know if other Z1 users have the same problem, and if this is software or hardware related problem?

I’m running on rooted .534 UK, the problem was there with previous 518 version, and occurs regardless of if the phone is rooter or not?

Many thanks

Yes, I have this issue (but only intermittently) I just press the power button for a second or two and it carries on doing what it's doing. I haven't resorted to pressing the 'panic' button.

For the record, I am on the same firmware as yourself (also rooted). It happened to me also on 518.

I'm not worried about it. At all.

Just bought Asphalt 8, honestly expected it to run flawlessly on my Black GS4-i9500 but that was not the case. Installation was fine, but game is really laggy and the graphic is kind of messed up and unstable. It's like the graphic card is not powerful enough to run it at full speed. I'm playing on default settings and I made sure there is no other application running besides Airborne. My phone is a genuine one and have not rooted it. It's the same for Minion Rush and Asphalt 7.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superandroid2011:
It is the way it is.

Forget these guys who says Asphalt 8 run flawlessly on I9500/I9505, it doesn't. Flawlessly is 60fps all the time. S4 can't deliver that.

It doesn't matter which ROM you are using, they do little to no help on GPU performance, unless when you are OCing the GPU.

Just make sure you don't have background apps running.

For Asphalt 8 on I9500 expect a frame rate on High Quality averaging on 30fps, with peaks on 40fps and dips on 15fps.

I9505 is a few frames worse.

If you really want have a gain on FPS, you should have root, be on Android 4.2 and change the resolution to let's say 720x1280.
