[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mattnmag:
Hi All,

The other day, a friend of mine told me about Swordigo (from developer Touch Foo). I’ve played it for a short while and the game seems to run great on the Xperia Play. I also confirmed that Gamekeyboard works well with it. Here's a short Youtube review by AndroidJunkie to give a feel for the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=idtwpnCWofE

It’s a really fun game and I thought some of you might like to check it out. I also wanted to share the Gamekeyboard profile that I made in case anyone wants to try it.

You can get Swordigo for free from the Google Play store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchfoo.swordigo&hl=en . (There are a lot of in app purchases… but I have just ignored them and the game seems to play great without needing to purchase anything).

If you don’t own Gamekeyboard, then you can purchase it from the Google Play store at this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard2&hl=en

DISCLAIMER:

None of these steps or suggestions should harm your phone. However, if you choose to follow the steps in this thread and install any of the linked files, then you are choosing to take full responsibility for anything that could happen to your phone. Please don't proceed with the below steps if you don't agree with this and are not comfortable with using root apps that modify your phone.

Here are the set up instructions if you want to try out the Gamekeyboard profile that I created:

1. Download the “Swordigo gkp” profile and save it to the root of your SD card. (If it downloads as a txt file, then use a file explorer app to rename it to "Swordigo gkp.gkp" --without the quotes).

**The Download link for the Swordigo gkp profile is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h51rco4awj0uqda/Swordigo gkp.gkp?dl=0

The MD5 checksum for the gkp is: e19349c9f34fe30a32b2ea850091e640

2. Follow the Gamekeyboard app's instructions to Select Gamekeyboard as the active Input Method

3. Go to "Input Device" and choose "Onscreen Gamepad"

4. Go to "Usage Mode" and choose "Emulate Touchscreen" (SuperUser may prompt you to grant root permissions now-- so go ahead and give root permissions if requsted).

5. Go into "Settings" and Import the Swordigo gkp, Save Profile, then Load profile.

6. Scroll down and make sure "Use Advance Input" is enabled

7. Back out of Gamekeyboard and open the Swordigo game. It will hopefully work for you :)

----------------------------------

(If Gamekeyboard starts acting buggy... then follow these steps below to start over again from scratch)

1. Press the menu key on the phone and go to "Manage Apps."

2. Go to Gamekeyboard under the "Downloaded" tab, Wipe data, and then uninstall the app.

3. Reboot the phone and then reinstall Gamekeyboard from the Play Store.

4. Open the Gamekeyboard app and when it asks if you want to skip soft keyboard...., pick "Not Now" --you can now start over again with above setup instructions

----------------------------

Here is how the controls are set up

-Move player Left and Right is controlled with left &right arrow keys on the phone

-Left touchpad also moves left and right (but it doesn't allow you to double tap to run faster... so it's limited in its usefulness).

-X button on Dpad corresponds to the Sword

-Circle button on Dpad corresponds to the Magic Bolt

-Triangle button on Dpad corresponds to Jump

-Start button and RB (Right Back button) both correspond to the upper right hand corner on the touch screen where it looks like you'll be able to choose a secondary weapon

-LB (Left Back Button) corresponds to the settings and menu (the hard key for the menu on the phone also corresponds to this by default)
