[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silmes:
Let me first start off with saying that I am quite a newbie.

I know how to flash a rom and a kernel, but that´s about it.

I have recently gained new interest in my old XPlay, and is returning to it. For portable gaming purposes only. It is a nice device.

I have also been out of the loop for the past 2 years, so I have no idea where to start.

1. How is emulation on the Xperia Play faring overall? What emulators do people use for PSX-emulation nowadays? Last I was into gaming, it was FPSe that was the number 1.

2. I want to be able to run FF9 as good as possible. Can it be run from start to ending perfectly? Can someone please point me in a direction to a nice, lag-free setup (kernel/rom/emulator). I am ONLY interested in gaming. The phone will not be used for anything else.

I would be very thankful if someone could help me out. Cheers!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
Try the aurora play ROM, it's probably the best one for gaming, since you aren't interested on using the xplay as a phone.

As for the emulation try fpse for ps1 games, every game should run smoothly. Also games like GTA III will run perfectly on that ROM.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silmes:
Thanks.

I have just installed the EliteGamer 2.0-rom, and I still get some lag in the music/battles of FF9. Using FPSe.

I have no idea if it would run better on another emulator?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
Mmh, no, I don't think you'll get much better performance with other emulators...just try to overclock a bit and see how it works. Try 1,4 GHz and if there's still lag, try 1,6 GHz but use these freq only when you need performance for gaming since your battery will be drained much faster. No-Frills CPU Control is a very good app for overclocking, look for it on the Play Store. Make sure you use the latest Lupus GB kernel for more performance.

Unfortunately the Xplay has an "ancient" hardware so don't expect miracles from it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdude04:
I've been searching for hours trying to find any old threads anywhere in which someone posted the APK for Verizon Messages. Evidently Verizon recently updated the app to prevent the ability of users to send text messages via WiFi over an Android phone. (You can still send texts over WiFi on Android tablets and iOS devices, but Verizon now wants to force Android phone users to text over the cellular network).

So, total shot in the dark, but is there any hope of me finding an APK of this app from before mid-2013?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAbounegm:
Not sure which version exactly you want. I found the app starting version 3.1.21 and till version 4.3.4 on Aptoide. Here is the list of all the APKs since version 3.1.21: goo. gl/7MRkJ2 on Aptoide.com

You need Aptoide to download it. If you don't have it and don't want to download it, I can download it on my device and attach the APK.
[HTC One S] Anthe:
Hello everyone,

I have had my HTC One S since december 2013 and it's really an upgrade to my old Galaxy S Advance, though there is one thing that's bothering me. The lag. Yes. I really don't know why, but my HTC One S lags in the simplest games. When in Flappy Bird, the event where Flappy heads down again creates a slight stuttering resulting in me hitting pipes. My HTC outstands my S Advance in all aspects, though on my Samsung, this lag is not happening.

In Monkey Flight, also a very simple 2D game, lag is occurring as well. I recently installed "Bouncing Slime", which also suffers from the same kind of "falling lag" (when you jump and you start falling down again). I have absolutely no clue why this is happening, because my HTC handles games like Injustice or Riptide GP2 just fine.

I suspected some time the lag was created by the ads in a game when the game is loaded, though it occurs also when my phone is offline. I really don't have a clue. Also, my Beats audio is turned off as I never play with headphones (I read somewhere Beats Audio causes lag).

Technical information:

HTC One S: 4.1.2 | European radio

Everything is as closed as it can be. Not rooted and no bootloader stuff. I'm fully stock.

If anyone knows what's wrong, please let me know. This truly affects my experience with this phone.

(I am fine with rooting the phone btw, as long as I don't touch my bootloader)

Thanks in advance,

Anthe
[HTC One S] tariiik:
I case of Flappy Bird everbody on every device have a lag. Even on Galaxy S4 there is a lag. It's not you device it's your system. I'm on cm11 and it work's great. Even with high end game.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] enchanter100:
So I got my M8, had the m7 since launch and still have it. But I was hoping more from the screen. I'm not a big fan on the buttons being on it. Unless the app uses full screen, the buttons on the screen actually make the app use less screen real estate then on the m7. I know, I've sat them next to each other and any app that has the buttons stay on the screen = smaller...

This brings up the question. Is there a way to force apps that are not "full screen" into using full screen? Thus hiding the buttons until you swipe?
[Networking] Nachogy:
I am a Cingular user, I was using Cingular for a long time and it worked fine for me. However, after this May, I found some problem by connecting Cingular service. On that time, I was using MDA II, at first I thought my PDA was broken so that I can't get the signal from Cingular and I bought a XDA EXEC from England.

However, problem still there. It is still so hard for me to get Cingular service. I have tried to put my SIM card to cingular phone, and it shows the connection well, at least 3 bars. Once I put it back to my XDA, the connection is very weak or most of the time, it doesn't work.

I wonder if anyone of you have the same problem with me? I have check that this XDA is an unlock phone and it works fine with other service, but not Cingular. I have no idea about what Cingular has done.

Please help, any solutions would be appretiate!
[Networking] thefunkunfaked:
The signal is weak because the device does not support the most widely used frequency band among Cingular cell towers in the United States (850 MHz). You will find that as you travel into busier areas/cities/neighborhoods, it will significantly increase
[Networking] Nachogy:
Do you have any suggestion about what kind of service is better? I am considering T-Mobile, is it good?
[Networking] thefunkunfaked:
It is very likely that T-Mobile will work better in your area. I, myself don't get such great service with Cingular at my home because I live in the suburbs. Anywhere else I go, my signal seems to be fine though.
[Networking] Nachogy:
I really appretiate your answer!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangusmeister:
I have the moto G xt1032 and am running c-rom 5.6.

My problem is that since I started flashing custom roms on my device I can't adjust in call volume and the quality of voice on my end is really bad(high pitched sounds just about blow my ear drum and it sort of screeches). The buttons are fine as I can still adjust media volume no problem and I have also tried restoring to stock but the issue remains. I have had a lot of android phones and know what I'm doing but not seen anything like this before. Any ideas on what the cause is would be most helpful.

I got the problem that I lose the serial number after flash the 4.4.2 KOT49I.V50018a, it's become "000000000000000".

I like to upgrade to V50020a or back to stock, can help on it ?:confused:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
Just restore your nandroid backup and you should be fine.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EEddic:
I did but it's request to key in the model number and serial number.

a short review, after using the ROM for an hour or two..:

everything works flawlessly, no bugs yet....(i am seriously trying to find some bug, but none yet..:P )

a hell lot of customisation(i am in love with this rom )

fast, fluid, smooth..

i guess it is the best 4.4 rom for our device if you really like to control all the customisation in your rom...

do give it a try!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jeetlebuice:
totally agree,rom is quick,smooth,report on battry after a day or two,everything seems to work great.

p.s flashed banks gapps mini(great) :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
Hi there. I'am in need of a litle help here. I've a 8GB micro SD Card, class 10. After problemas becouse of low memory on apps, i've decided to partition my sd card. I've followed one of several guides out there, used Mini Partition Tool, to create 2 partitions on card, one Primary, FAT32 for media, other one also Primary, Ext4.

I have then installed Link2SD, created the Script for EXT4, everything was ok!

After 3 / 4 days, upon a reboot, i got the error that the SD card is not acessible, (the 2nd partion). I was going to format it on Windows again, with a card reader, and the card simply isnt acessible anymore. What happened here and can i try somenthing to recover the card? Did i did something wrong? Not that i had very important data, but it was strange and i dont want to buy other card, if this can be restored... On the other hand i am a litle afraid of making the process again, and the same happens.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xTiNct26:
that also happens to me, using other card reader and formating it in minitool do the trick, i recovered my brandnew 32gb class 10,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
I really wonder why some people need to repartition their sdcards or maybe something idk or experienced yet.

I've also 8Gig class10 & had no problem yet with low storage as i moved all non essential apps to my external like a charm using Titanium bckup for free. This app is simply my phones's wife for all brand, managing all problems flawlessly. No need. Link2sd etc.

But i keep frequently syncing apps like bbm, whatsapp, gmail, etc in internal for fastest responses.

*] front LED holographic keyboard >> another dream in android
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
I've made the process to be able to use more memory besides the 420 mb internal of Arc S. Does Titanium allow to move apps to SD? In any case i think it's better to create a partion just to move apps, and the other one media files.

The problem here is that it seems i can't mount the SD card to phone. And i can't acess it on Windows either!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ackroyd:
I had a similar problem. My sd-card became visible (in minipartion tool) by connecting the phone to the pc in CWM recovery (Mount USB storage)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
but is this rom related? well tried your solution but no luck... connected in CWM ver. 6.0.4.8 nothin hapepens...

i think i'll have to buy other card...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xTiNct26:
its not rom related, this is exactly what happen to me before, if its still visible on minitool, just format it normaly without partitioning. if it cant, use other card reader. this solves the problem for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
But i get a litle confused here... I'am a litle afraid that this might happen again! Then for a 16GB SdCard what's the best configuration for this process? How should i partition the card?

Should i do 2 partions one FAT32 and the other Ext4, of 8GB each? Becouse i've made that for the other card and this happened...

And a few posts behind other user said that it wasn't need to use Link2SD but only Titanium Backup to move apps from internal memory to sdcar.

Should i use which one? I've use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126363

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
MiniTools for free isn't bugs free, that's what I've experienced for destroy my card. I don't want to use it anymore.

Yes, TiB even free version is so useful, check long tapping menu of your apps.

Why we should partition sdcards if creating folders solve the problems. It won't wiped even you guys make a full wipe from any recovery.

*] front LED holographic keyboard >> another dream in android
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
but with Titanium Backup can i move the apps to sd card entirely? I've installed Titanium but it seems rather confused to deal with... i think Link2Sd more user friendly and more complete.What i want is to move the apps and data to sdcard to maintain the 420mb of internal memory of Arc S free!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Adam Hui:
yes ofcuz...just enter ur apps list in TiB, longpress any app, check pop up menu...there's "move to sdcard"..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:
hmm too many options for me... i think i'll give another try do Link2SD. what's the optimal size of ext4 partion? can i make it half the size of sd? 8gb?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ƒεηιx:
2 GB will enough for you I think
[Xperia Arc Android Development] isolove:
The name must be the "bug rom".

freezing,60mb ram,disapear the signal+baterry widgets,cant see under the sun(bad auto light).

and the OTA?just download,no install.

is beaudiful with lots of goods,but............:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ƒεηιx:
Dude don't say like that its not good you already know ion based ROM has some issue it will be fix when mike release the stable ion kernel if you want a stable ROM you can use v5.6 its based on pmem kernel or try other ROMs I tried the latest crom and I have no lag at all free ram is 140+ Op doing really hardwork to provide us a new ROMs so respect there works
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:

I like this Rom. It's smooth and fast until i open a heavy app, example, candy crush. It crashes and sometimes just reboots.

RAM 338. Maybe it could be increased? Multi-tasking is quite sad. I get a lot of lag when multitasking and i try to lock the screen.

But overall i like the feel of this rom. I hope in the coming days it gets better. Oh and battery is good:good:
