Hello. I am on my second s6 edge from sprint. It the update what is causing the screen rotation issue or is it safe to update? Trying to avoid a third s6. If it is the update is there a way to turn off notifications of updates? Tired of seeing it on lock screen. Thank you for the help!
[Android Themes] yaddam205:
What are some alternatives to the Moonshine icons? I like how each Icon has a custom shape by not being circular or square. I found ECO Icons which looks pretty solid. What other packs are similar?
[Android Themes] airiRin:
I use Iride UI. It has similar style like Moonshine.

Just copy the stock bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files and save it on your external sd card, pc, laptop or whatever so you can have them as back up files. Making full backup is not really necessary, it's all up to you.

Let me just say that there are two ways you can change the boot animation. One, you can replace the bootanimation.zip in (system/media) which contains part 0 and part 1, this is where pngs are located inside. Second, you can flash a zip file that has modified bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg inside (these files will replace the stock bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg). You cannot flash the .qmg files by itself 'cause you need to put them on a flashable zip (just like the ones I uploaded in this thread). Once you have the flashable zip that contains your stock boot animation (.qmg) files, put it on your external sd card and flash it. Thus, restoring your BA.

[Xperia Play General] dukedoom:
I refuse to live in a world where the only way to enjoy gaming with an Android device in public is by owning and old ass Xperia Play.

There are 0 alternatives to the Xperia Play.

All these pads that you have to carry in your pocket and attach/deattach look goofy as f*ck and are annoying.

The new Snail W3D is HUGE and I don't want something that looks like a handheld console anyway. When im on a meeting with middle aged men at an office I can't pop out MUH GAMING CONSOLE.

Carrying an actual handheld console in 2015 along with your normal smartphone... LOL.

This is why, for me, the Xperia Play was perfect. You want to play: you slide the gamepad out and enjoy some great ms-dos/old school emulation gaming. When you are done, slide in and it looks like a regular phone. THATS the only option. I need that. I CANT enjoy modern games, I don't care about them, and I can't enjoy old games with touchscreen controls. How in the f*ck im supossed to strafe and shoot at the same time in Doom? Jesus christ, they ruined everything. If only stupid Sony wouldn't held the stupid patent, we could have had something similar to the Bladepad or the Razer Junglecat for the main Android phones, but meanwhile, unless you want to buy an iCrap, you are stuck with the Xperia Play which is a slow POS nowadays.

Im only asuming that's the reason, because I refuse to believe no one has thought about releasing a sliding gamepad EVER for any Android phone.

This is my rant after years of waiting for something.
[Xperia Play General] Senyaka:
Brother. I know your pain. You have said what I've been thinking for a REALLY long time. Respect.
[Xperia Play General] TheVicious:
Dukedoom - i think just like You. But there are no choise in the world. Really. Only Xperia Play up to today have a gamepad. A real gamepad and it's a real phone. I think that we never get another phone with gamepad simmilar to ours Xperia Play. It's really sad.

I bought a gamepad for my s4. It's easy to connect and to mount. But it's still another device with another battery and another thing to carry. Like Ngage long time ago - xperia play had small group of fans. But thoese fans are loyal as hell.
[Xperia Play General] madmatt2024:
You guys definitely aren't alone on this one. I'm getting tired of the Play's lack of power. If I run the stock rom all the emulators run smoothly but I get shafted in the apps department. If I upgrade to 4.x then I can run modern apps but the emulators are sluggish. I'm also on a R800X so my rom options are limited as well. There is still a demand for a device like the Play but everybody is too stupid to make it. I can't find anything like it even if I look at Chinese imports and they practically invented handheld game consoles that use emulators!
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
I feel the pain however the play sold **** all so no one even wants to make no. 2 much w3d it's your best option at the moment. If we could get more interest in the devices to accumulate than maybe Sony would make another but for that to happen the vita must die lol. Sure would be cool if you could just slap a new cpu in and recode some software but that's not how it works. The play could run newer os but you need a really good developer to optimise. Much w3d is gigantic which sucks I'll be buying one right now they are on pre order though and I never pre order anything.
[Xperia Play General] Fenrir007:
I agree with the sentiment here. I have been waiting for a proper sucessor (slidedepad) for a long time.

Unfortunately the Xperia Play was sold in a moment where mobile gaming was still in its infancy, and phones weren't the little powerhouses of today. If it was released today, we would have a very potent quadcore with at least 2gb ram, HDMI out (or at least a dock for that) and possibly remastered PSP games made for it, which would certainly drive more sales. That, and having actual analogs instead of touchpads (like the PSP Go) would really help make it sell like hotcakes, possibly paving the way for an Xplay 2 and more.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
That was the other problem with the play everyone thought Sony was going to release tons of games but we only got 13 ps1 classics then Sony never released any more. Definitely did not help sales
[Xperia Play General] Baltyre:
Well i upgraded my phone and just use a keychain controller. It's not as good as the xperia play, but that's a nice alternative.

I own an Impulse controller :

http://www.impulsecontroller.com/

And i ordered a cheaper clone for my gf, friends and brother (back then got it for 4€ each) :

http://www.dx.com/fr/p/multi-functi...hutter-w-wireless-mouse-function-black-370723

Quick review : Well, that's a nice piece of hardware, but you lack L/R/Start/Select (well just use the virtual controller on screen for those and that's ok). The cross is not really precise, don't expect to play fighting game with that (Hadoken are tricky), but that's ok for most of games.

Edit : It seems there is a new challenger :

http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/2015-...S-Smart-Phone-Smartphone-Hot/32286620242.html

Did someone try this one ? Seems to me like a cheap alternative.

[Xperia Play General] dukedoom:
This was the closest we ever got to getting a replacement:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3uKuZq7yBM&t=2m00s

Unfortunately the kickstarter got cancelled, the project never shipped.

Someone get to work and make one of these. I don't care about the keyboard, I just want the cross, joystick and buttons, make it simple with that swivel rotating mechanism to hide it and add in L/R top buttons.

FYI, I am deeply considering buying another Xperia PLAY. I moved onto a Nexus 5 almost a 18 months ago and I am definately eyeballing the Snail W3D, but I do miss the PLAY for what it could bring in emulator wise. If I do snag one it will be white this time, always had the black models.
[Xperia Play General] mattnmag:
Last summer.... I picked up a R800x off of ebay for $25 with Free Shipping. I was really surprised how good of shape it was in.... I would say an 8 out of 10. I only use it for gaming because I have a note 3 as my daily driver. But I'm loving it for emulators... definitely worth the small amount I paid for it. Maybe you could pick one up cheap too on eBay if you keep your eyes peeled :).
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
This is the one I am eyeballing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221753627798?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
[Xperia Play General] mattnmag:
The white look is nice and there's definitely a lot more development for the R800i variant than the R800x. It looks like a nice phone. I only got a R800x because a friend of mine had one and I was teaming up with him to help him root it and unlock the bootloader (This is the only Sony phone I've ever bought and I was totally unfamiliar with Flashtool, ftf's, etc... ).

It would be good to have you back on here with an Xperia Play in hand .... when I was learning to root and Rom this phone, I found a lot of your older posts to be really helpful. :) :thumbup:
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I am glad to hear that my posts have been helpful here. I am going to get a PLAY within a month or so, but I will snag one. The Nexus would stil be my main daily driver and I would be buying the PLAY as a gaming device only. But it would be nice to be back here on this thread with a PLAY in hand. Despite moving on to the N5 forum I still check this forum almost daily despite not having the phone anymore, simply because this forum felt like a small group of friends and I spent so much time on this forum thast I simply could not go without still seeing what was going on. Looking forward to getting another PLAY. I am glad that my past posts were helpful, look forward to being back on here soon. I will keep ya'll posted.
[Xperia Play General] dukedoom:
I wouldnt be able to get a Xperia Play at this point. I have a LG P970 which pretty much has the same hardware as the Xperia Play and I cant wait to upgrade it to a Samsung S5 Mini, the phone is bloated as **** and browsing of the internet is not smooth.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
A few mods and the xperia play is super smooth
[Xperia Play General] zetsurin:
Agree with all the sentiments here. Despite the varied Android ecosystem, nobody including Sony wants to bite. The Xperia Play was ergonomically perfect, but no doubt it would have been the usual paranoia and cross product in fighting that killed it before it had a chance based on some really stupid decisions regarding the specs. Such a shame and depressing state of affairs how close we got to the perfect gamer phone.
[Xperia Play General] legacygt777:
i still use the play for emulators and legendary games like bruce lee, fifa 12, and star battalion.

you know what's close for me? i've been using the xperia ZL for a year now and 5.0 HD screen w/quad core on a 4.4 kitkat and 4glte with the OEM option to sync my ps3 controller.

i have all my xperia play games on this device and having to play it on a sony phone w/my ps3 controller without any lag is just as cool for me. i'm a sony fanboi and having the xperia lounge, playstation mobile, walkman player still reminds me of my play without the convenience of the controller slide out.

with the sync, i just turn on the ps3 controller and connects with my newer xperia. it's not completely the same but it feels close.
[Xperia Play General] slamandar:
Guys , what do you think if we find someone how can make a modern Xperia play alternative at kickstarter.com ??

or we can email Sony or do something , so they can made an Xperia play 2 ...
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
I've been setting one up for a couple of days. Design specs etc. I'll let you know when it is done
[Xperia Play General] david7380:
It seem like you just read my mind. My dream is an xperia play 2 with the best up-to-date hardware, native ps2 emulation. 64 Gb internal memory. 2 microSd card slots for up to 400 gb storage, direct HDMI output and a stunning battery life. Sad thing is Sony will never launch something like that.
[Xperia Play General] inaroom:
well, ps2 native emulation would be ace but it's not likely to be done on mobile for now...i'm just afraid it will be 5" or more, as nowdays trend.the xplay is perfect for my taste design wise,i would only turn the touchpads in real analog, what was done with psp go is more than good...i would personally be more than satisfied with a "simple" quad core, a couple gigs of ram and at least 4 gigs for internal memory, with sd card of course...xperia play is still my daily driver and i do a lot of retrogaming, but you can't go far with apps and android games..
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Ps2 has been done and it works but it is a slide show
[Xperia Play General] david7380:
Remember the psp? It had in-built ps1 emulation. Sony could easily do the same for ps2 emulation by using for example the Xperia Z3 hardware. That is why I think an Xperia Play 2 with in-built ps2 emulation would be a killer. And Sony could sell the ps2 isos at $1 or $2 dollars, that way people wouldn't even hesitate to illegally download them.
[Xperia Play General] inaroom:
i would love it as i loved the xplay with native ps1 emulation, but as i said, and as you said it's a slideshow as of now, i can't see how would it be possible...i see it more likely to have gamecube/ wii emulation on dolphin, wich would be killer as well..
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Emulators are almost always made by coding students in their free time so they usually suck. If Sony actually tried they could make it happen.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Unfortunately Sony can only sell games they have the licenses too. One of the main reasons they didn't release many ps1 games for Zeus. They would probably never do ps2 emulation.
[Xperia Play General] duredure:
Nice to see more people thinking the same.

About patents. Sony registered the slidegamepad in Japan or in Eua?and how many years is this patent?

Tks
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
I tried making a kick-starter but apparently they didn't like the way I did it as they refused it. Trying to find a way to make it work so we can have a play 2
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
What were you proposing?

At this point, I'd love to see something like the Bladepad case that would attach to a phone and connect via bluetooth. Of course that becomes logistically difficult with all the different phone sizes out there. I have some hope that Project Ara might be able to solve this, whenever Google finishes it.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

No, they can't "easily" emulate the PS2. The PS2 was complicated hardware, especially the Graphics Synthesizer GPU. It and the Emotion Engine were very custom hardware. Sony barely got emulation working on the PS3 for a scant few PS2 Classics, and even then compatibility was low. The only reason the original models had any backwards compatibility was because the CPU and GPU of the PS2 were in the original models and those were later cut to save money.

The reason that everything can emulate the PS1 is because it was a simple 33HMz MIPS processor. In fact, the CPU in the PSP was also a MIPS processor that could clock from 33MHz to 333MHz. So the PSP technically had hardware compatibility when running PS1 titles because it just clocked to 33MHz. The Vita, on the other hand, emulates the PSP's CPU on it's 2GHz quad-core Cortex A9, which most flagship phones have better than that now.

PS2 emulation is still a dream on mobile hardware.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Proposing a play 2 or play 2 like phone I used a rendering of what it may look like from Google I said a. Raising money to get Sony to build it or b. I'd get it made apparently they don't allow renderings or raise money to have it made by the company like Sony. but basically I'd have a current gen processor like the 810 or the 820( coming soon) 4gb of ram and a gamepad that slid out similar to the plays or 2 that slide out to the sides to make it look more like a PSP. 1080p display 4500mah battery ability too hookup Ps controllers if need be. Etc etc I guess I just need to find a better way to use it so that kick-starter will make it happen. If I was going to get the phone made I was asking about 2 million marketing and all that would be expensive and if Sony was going to make it 1 million(to show interest). Also water proof 20mp camera 5 mp front camera. And vita like thumbsticks? Buttons exactly like Xperia play 1 cause they rocked. Probably look more square like Xperia z3. Something very impressive. Project ara is a long way off and I doubt much will ever come of it. Things like the bladepad and controllers that hookup suck really bad.

You are half correct on the Ps2 emulation. The ps3 60gb cecha01 had an emotion engine built in. Removed because to expensive in the ceche01 80gb model which used software to run the Ps2 games. Could one of our phones like the Xperia z3 run Ps2? Unlikely we cannot even run games at ps3 quality yet. Most games are Ps2 to almost ps3 but the character models aren't very complex. Like you say Ps2 was very custom and the architecture was close to that of the ps3 so they could get emulation done. I believe they have an app now that allows you to play Ps2 on a slim as well. Sure the xbox and Ps2 weren't all that powerful but I doubt our phones could run them yet. Maybe the Xperia z5. I mean they got ps1 classics to run flawlessly on a 1ghz 500mb ram device so if they can get it to run on a z5 I'd be surprised.
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Actually the 80GB CECHE01 model still had the PS2 Graphics Synthesizer GPU in it. Sony removed the Emotion Engine CPU and extra 32MB of dedicated RAM for the PS2 backwards compatibility, but the Graphics Synthesizer was still present. That's why compatibility went from 99% to 80-90%. The Graphics Synthesizer has some very complex fixed functions in it that do not emulate well. Once that was removed, Sony tried emulating some of those functions on the Cell CPU, but only a few functions worked. That's why there are only a handful of PS2 Classics on it.

Here are the recommended requirements for the PCSX2 emulator:

Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) with the latest DirectX

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2 GHz or better OR i3/i5/i7 @ 2,8 GHz or better OR AMD Phenom II @ 3,2 GHz or better

GPU: 8800gt or better (for Direct3D10 support)

RAM: 1GB on Linux/Windows XP, 2GB or more on Vista / Windows 7

Considering that even the Snapdragon 820 is still around 2.2GHz, it might not have enough grunt to run PS2 emulation at playable levels. Most HD remakes just took the simpler graphics and enhanced them natively on the PS3 hardware to avoid any emulation. I think a similar approach would need to be done even on high-end mobile hardware, but then that requires the developers to remake the game natively for Android. We're better off emulating PSP ports at that point.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
To true to true they did leave the gpu. However the ps3 was notoriously hard to develop for as it was power pc and still had some pretty proprietary stuff going on. Also not that much more powerful than Ps2 not enough so with the given hardware anyway. Using pcsx2 is different though as Windows is a far cry from the proprietary Linux that ps3 and Ps2 run. However I do not care about os2 emulation you know why? Because the exact same thing would happen as the play 1 people were pissed because they had to buy classics they already did or didn't have and just didn't buy ps1 games they complain about this alot and as soon as android is powerful enough to use Ps2 someone will make an emu and no one will buy the games. Sony could probably make a really good emulator and get it to run on Android because they know more about the Ps2 hardware and software then someone in coding school making an emulator. We need new games not old ones. Everyone rips off old games which is a damn shame.:(
