hi there,
i have just downloaded 2 games from gamesloft web site for my phone, after the 2 sucessful downloads, i am unable to locate the games on my phone or in the memory card.
this is despite having them resent by gamesloft(the software said the items were already downloaded on my phone and asked did i want to rewrite over the original install, when i restarted the reinstallation) and after searching for the files.
i am unable to locate the files and do not know were they are.
no there not in my games folder as i would have expected lol.
any ideas were they are??????
thanks
Hi,
maybe its java games.
open your java environment (big "e" in red) and see if the games are here.
yeah they are ...doh lol
thanks

Hi guys, ive had my touch hd 3 days now and ive been riducled by everyone that i didnt go for a iphone, however ive spent alot of time on here and its plain to see that so much can be done and be added!
Now i gotta confess i dont know what a CAB file is, i dont know what ROM is, i dont know what this manilla is, so i hope you can see my probs!
During my 3 days ive managed to download the blackpad dialler and the hd tweak(altho they took me ages), but i wanna change the theme, the wallpapers, i wanna add apps like google maps etc..
I hope this thread will attract people who can help people like myself out and explain how to do stuff and where to go etc..
Btw how do i choose a downloaded song(synced via windows media) to be my ringtone? haha such a amateur!
Thank you for any help in advance!
have you read the wiki? that will help allot, helped me 2.
the wiki??? lol
a .cab is an install file you copy to your phone and then tap it to execute from like file explorer. most installs if they are exe you run them on you PC and they send a cab file to you phone through activesync. but if its a cab file just copy to you phone and execute. If you dont like it yoou can uninstall from eith the phone in Settings/System/Remove Program.. or from you PC on activesynce or mobile device center.
Where on the phone is file explorer? but thanx for the rest, actually makes sense, god im blonde!
where can i read about this wiki?
Its in programs.
Honestly, I would reccomend you go through your phone. Go into programs and see whats there. Then go into each of the settings options and see whats there.
Then learn the hierarchy of your phone memory.
You will see that it is similar to Windows.
The top directory will be"My Device" and under it will be "Storage Card" which is your memory card (similar to an external hard drive analogy for a desktop) and then you will see Program Files where programs are installed and My Documents contains the following folders and more:
My Videos where you videos you record will be saved
My Pictures
This is the wiki page - it's VERY helpful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
And, the software wiki is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
You chose well. The Blackstone is an amazing bit of kit!
Keep in mind that it's basically a small computer with an aerial. Unlike the iPhone its not just a fancy phone.
Any computer needs a way for the user to tell it what to do... thats the operating system in the blackstone that's windows mobile (or winmo). You also need a user interface (ui) so you can tell it what to do. The HD uses touchflo 3d (tf3d). That's the front screen with all the tabs and clocks and stuff.
Like any computer... programs are installed to do different things. The dialers, sms, camera are all programs. This means you can install new programs to do things or overwrite programs to change what you already have.
These programs come in two main forms the cab file and the exe. The cab runs only on the phone and the exe will only run on the phone or your computer. There are lots of cabs to do lots of things. Download one that's interesting and run it.
Everything is stored in files on your blackstone. You can look through these files using file explorer... you will find that in your programs tab on tf3d. files are stored in folders. that means you can organise them the way you like.
The secret to the blackstone is to think about what you'd like to be able to do with it then search here or google to find a way... there usually is one.
So ehm, a friend of mine has a problem with his A100...
A few weeks ago he downloaded a, shall we say, less than legal version of NFS Shift, and despite numerous attempts at downloading the Data-file seperately, he never got past the "NaN Downloading Game Data 0 of 0MB" screen.
Bummer.
After trying for a couple of days, he saw a sale on the same game, bought it and downloaded it to his phone where it works fine.
The game IS compatible with the A100, but whenever he downloads the legal version to his tablet, he runs into the same problem as before.
Instead of downloading the (legal) game data file, he can't get past the "NaN Downloading Game Data 0 of 0MB" screen, and nothing gets downloaded.
My friend assumes that the cracked version of the nfs.apk somehow blocks or replaces the legal version from working. He has tried uninstalling the cracked version and installing the bought version several times, but so far nada.
Any ideas? Is there a particular file or directory he should try to delete?
Both phone and tablet are rooted, so is it possible to just copy the full game from the phone to the tablet?
Any help appreciated!
how do you know'the games is compatiable? I have tried the same version as your friend.
It's available for download in the market app.
Also, when you go to the www market: market.android.com, you can list which of your devices an app is compatible with, and NFS shows up as compatible with the A100.
(This is the NFS released by Electronic Arts Netherlands BTW. It's been released by a couple of EA-divisions, and a version released by one company, is sometimes compatible with different devices than a version released by different companies.)
I installed the apk that was included on my G2X and it works perfectly.
You could factory reset. It kinda sucks to do just to get a game to'work.

Downloaded files still doesn't work.
I downloaded the files on an Epic 4g and then just switched the sd card into my A100, and the game still won't work. They are in the correct location but Sim City still tries to download them and doesn't see them on the card.

The acer will not run game data off your sd card (mnt/external_sd) automatically. It has its own internal sdcard (mnt/sdcard) and that's where it stores game data. You will need to copy it in there but which exact directory I'm not so sure since I don't have the game installed. Maybe someone else can reply to that.
If you want to run from your external SDcard you need to use GL to SD app from market. Theres a thread here if you want to read more about the app.
Hi Chaps....
Honestly didn't know where else to go for help on this one...
First off.... I've been happily playing DT2 with my amazon controller since I first got my Firetv box (non rooted) v 51.1.6.3,.... right up until today,... when i was met with "Please update your application with a new version" and I was quickly kicked back to the fire os screen. I tried contacting madfinger games but it seems they have dropped windows and Amazon support. Ages ago I had moved a lot of my apps to an sd card,... but due to DT2 writing to the card a lot it became corrupted... so i reinstalled it to the firetv box then moved it to the sd card, backed it up to my pc and then put it back on to the firetv. (hope your still with me).
I just wanted to know if it would be possible to sideload the latest version 2-1.2.0 onto the firetv box.
I really don't understand why they dropped support for amazon because it ran like a dream on my box. (also lost 2400 in gold as well).
I noticed that the original DT2 that i backed up was an apk that was just over 488mb in size,... but the new apk that i've downloaded is only 25mb. (I'm still in the process of downloading the OBB data files, although I don't know if they will be of much use.
Is this just a waste of time chaps or does anyone know if i can get this to work.
I'm okay with adb push pull, ect... so just need to know if it'll work.
really appreciate any help as playing a game on a tv is a hell of a lot better than burning my eye sockets out on a monitor.... lol
I have absolutely no idea how i done this, but i'll explain as best i can.
I uninstalled DT2,... luckily its still in the cloud if it all goes belly up. I then installed apps2fire on my phone and downloaded DT2.
I then sent the main apk to my firetv. (probably went wrong here) but i ran the apk.... DT2 started to run but then said that it needed to download some files (around 250mb) but failed with an error code of "Download Failed Because The Resources Could Not Be Found".
Unaware of what this meant i then managed to locate the obb files on my file and wrote down the name of the folder they were in.
using es file explorer i created the same named folder in the same place on the firetv.
I then created another folder called dt2 on the phone and moved the obb file into it. I then used apps2fire and located to obb file and sent it to the firetv. so far so good. next problem was "where was the obb file". I managed to locate it, but only after i changed the folder view in es file explorer. I then copied and pasted the obb into the folder i created ealier within the obb folder.
I then ran DT2 again, but this time is said that it required files from the google playstore. I had a choice for the software to download what it needed and I let it do it's thing.
This time when I ran DT2 it started playing the intro... I skipped all the first parts so that i could log back in with my own details.
This time the game ran but the images look different to the original firetv version. Don't get me wrong, they look great. plus the amazon controller works perfectly.
I then closed the game.
when I went to go back to play it, the icon said that there was an update available.... (I had already gone through this once before, and it never worked).. but this time it did. and the xmas version is now installed.
This was a rough way of doing things, but i did some google searches and used details from these sites... (hope i can post these)....

http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?8829-obb-files-and-dead-trigger-2
all of this was done legally using programs available on firetv and an android phone. no other apk's or obbs were used.
Hope this helps in some way,....
seems I was a little too quick to say it was working...... as soon as i went to play in a tournament the start button had become greyed out.
but the firetv game controller still worked and by pressing "B" i was about to back out of the locked screen.
Also the "there is an update available" has returned to the main dt2 icon, but it always fails right at the very end of the loading bar.
I managed to play the game for about an hour and then tried the tournament since then its been very buggy.
Would it be anything to do with google play services chaps?
Hi, so I have a Surface RT, I was able, after a lot of effort to jailbreak it and enter Test Mode so any desktops apps that are meant for arm are working fine.
The problem is that now my Windows Store went bananas, I tried fixing it with some tutorials I found online, but nothing I can't revive it. Only option I would have would mean I recover the full tablet, install all updates only to later have to uninstall half of them and go trough the pain of installing the jailbreak again. Winch seems alot to get a app to work.
So I tried appx files, I tried installing using the powershell command as seen on some tutorial, winch gives me a bunch of errors, most of them are for libraries that are missing winch I do understand some of them just won't work for rt, others because the "app model" is set to 0 where it should be 1, I tried changing it to 1 but another error pops up saying the recourses.pri is missing or faulty or something on those terms. Tried with other apps but all just eventually ended in the same resources.pri error. Or that the os version it was requesting was higher. Since the appx were from nifty online sources I figured they would not be that compatible.
Later I tried Windows Apps Boss, this time i went to the official windows store (using IE) and downloaded the offficial files for the apps that I knew where compatible with ARM and this device. Anyone wondering I used this https://store.rg-adguard.net/ you just need to copy the URL from the windows store and it gives you the files.
First I tried downloading only the appx files and ran them on windows app boss, install, enable sideload, add package, the same recource.pri error appear, I tought maybe I need all the other files that were on the page meant for arm so I tried adding them as dependencies in windows app boss, added libraries to dependencies, and the other file that was a .blockmap I added to provisioned custom data, still nothing but closer, this time it only told the that the appxmanifest.xml was not on the package root whatever that mean, although I went to the windowsapps folder and the folder for the game in question and the file were there, but I noticed it was in the same path but in a different folder, with this I mean that I add 2 separate programs folders with 2 separate windowsapps folders, ok maybe windows apps boss created this one I thought, so I just moved them to the official folder and tried again, still nothing. Can it be because the original windowsapps folder is hidden? (just thought of this)
At this point I just want to flinch this thing at a wall or into a volcano, because every problem I fix just leads to another one, but since I got it for 50 bucks (I knew what I was getting into), and since now use it as my main pc since I don't have anything else or will have in a later future (its not that bad I just use mainly to watch movies, series now that I have the torrents desktop app, its relatively fast and works really well for basic stuff apart from the fact that Microsoft completely ruin the devices potential),I would like to at least be able to install metro apps or in this case games.
Can please someone help me out in figuring this, or guiding me another way to install them since every information in the internet is scattered and not always compatible with this device?
I just got my Sony Ericsson Xperia play and I think i got scammed. (I am a noob to computer things and tech in general so im sorry. I also am young and have no idea whats happening.) So first off, I try and root this, and it doesnt work, it says on Flashtool, {Part 1 of rooting failed, deleting and trying again} or something like that. Also it is a R800i model, but is Verizon, idk if that is supposed to be correct but i though R800i was for At&t. Also im trying to get games but they all fail, i have to get apks but people keep saying to put them in system/apps, which idk where that is on my SD card. I go to my Games file in the SD and see nothing in there, nothing at all. When i try and put my crash bandicoot apk in the game folder, i try and drag it in there and it wont let me, like it doesnt drop in the folder. I Dont know if im just a dumb kid or my Xperia Play is a fake, but i need serious help.
It's been like 20 days since you asked and I hope if you haven't figured it out on your own, that you at least didn't sold it because owning a Xperia Play in 2023 is just based. And there are no fakes.
How do you know it's a Verizon Play, just because of the logo? If you bought it from AliExpress recently, they are refurbished and matched with random shells (we used to have more Plays with a shell without carrier logos afaik but that's a little more rare now). It might be a R800i (carrier unlocked) inside, with a R800x (Verizon) shell.
Check the wiki in here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/xperiaplay/comments/ktz8hx
it literally has all the practical steps you need to follow to install ADB, fastboot and USB drivers, flashing kernels, recoveries and systems, sideloading apps and games... I sent a link to a page that has a link to the wiki, because this page has more useful stuff such as a link to a Discord server with other Xperia Play owners.
There's some stuff you might need to know first tho:
After you have installed ADB, fastboot, the drivers on you computer, unlocked the bootloader, flashed a neat custom kernel, recovery and ROM (I recommend the LuPuS kernel, TWRP and NXT Gaming respectively - bonus with NXT is that you don't need to root it), you'll get to the step of sideloading apps.
To install games, please don't install them to the internal storage even if you had to do it to save your life (that's "/data/app" at the root of the internal storage, because "/system/app" is for system apps... as the path name implies, and it's also at the root of internal storage).
Also don't mind the paths, you'll never need to put APKs there manually, if you install them (like you install any APK in any Android phone) that's where they go to behind the curtains and you don't really need to understand it, unless you want to ofc. Just in case you don't know how to install APKs the normal way, well, that wiki's got your back.
Normal apps like, idk, a terminal emulator, a file manager, you can install to the internal storage (that is, just install and forget about it). For games, you'll want to install them to the SD card (that is, just install them but then go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > [game name] > Move to SD card).
The first app you need to install is a file manager, the wiki teaches you how to install ES but I personally prefer FX. You can follow the same steps but just change the file name, and you can download it here: https://send.vis.ee/download/e1a641e6ee452023/#2sX0oEiwyUn1ciZKc7pAYQ - expires in 3 days.
And to install games, it goes beyond installing their APKs. You'll have to place certain files in certain folders (on the SD card), sometimes it's easier like with Crash Bandicoot, sometimes it's Dark Souls-hard like with some EA and Gameloft games... for that, you can ask for help in the Discord. They also have a lot of game links there.
