[Q] New Xperia Play OS update?

I noticed today on IGN they were doing a preview on the Play and the phone he was using supported landscape mode on the home screen. How is this possible? Is it because it's a new version of the software on the American phones? Here's the link:
http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/05/19/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-sneak-peak

The stock SE launcher on the Canadian and European versions looks nothing like this and doesn't support landscape so probably a custom launcher or some variant on the stock launcher.

Looks like launcher pro setup to a Froyo look.
Regards Dousan...

the verizon phone does away with the SE launcher and uses stock android. It's a lot more stock than our phone engadget did a piece about it a couple of days ago.

Also noticed that Crash Bandicoot was in the Xperia Play Launcher. Is this normal? Mine is in the Playstation Pocket app but not in the XP Launcher, so now wondering if anyone knows how to add it to that?

Did that guy say its on sale for 199?
Im moving to the US

That'll be with a contract. Your better off here (for now)

Thats the stock 2.3 launcher there~

Looks like a stock.gingerbread launcher. So I'm sure is missing the awesome Sony Ericsson arc messenger and the camera app too. Hope no but I got the feeling. Gonna go check it out

If you hold your finger on the screen (not on an icon) it will pop up a menu to select shortcuts. from there select applications then find the game/app and it will add it to your screen.

Ok, this must be a joke - I've tried holding my finger on the screen on the Xperia Play games launcher (not on an icon) that comes stock with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and also with Playstation Pocket - there is no menu that appears that allows me to add game shortcuts....how did you get this to work?

I'm sure he want trying to upset you. But the person meant that you hold your finger on the home screen. No menu will come up on game launcher. They just weren't very clear and didnt understand the first Persons question.

Absolutely incorrect. It works flawlessly on Gingerbread. No idea about ICS.
Try to delete the market vending.apk from Root Explorer, /system/app, and re install the apk. Should work.

Stock keyboard

Hey guys, my play came with the stock Android keyboard, and by using another stock rom I was once able to use the stock xperia keyboard, and it was great. I'd really love this keyboard back, and if someone could post the apk and or make a flashable zip that would be very awesome.
Thanks in advance

Awesome! wawsn't looking to go back to swype, ive been using the old style 9-button flip phone style board, but i will definetly use this now. Thanks!
EDIT: Well, would have been cool, and i suggest other Plays try it, but since i'm using the codename android ROM (derived from aosp) I cannot use it. This is because this keyboard depends on the SE framework to run.

[Q] Is it possible to get touchwiz on my Xperia ZL?

Well, I'm just wondering if it is possible to get Touchwiz on my Xperia ZL? (Android 4.2.2)
I really like the Touchwiz better than the one on default Xperia ZL..
Any suggestions?

not sure if it works completely (did a quick search) but try this link
- http://www.4shared.com/android/iXHhE_E_/Samsung_Touchwiz_Launcher.htm
however i think a better route for u to go is by getting something like nova launcher and an icon pack, much faster

There is an app in themes & apps section which will boost your phone while playing game. I used to use that app to play NFSMS and no lag at all. Try it. I forgot the name. I think it should be something like xperia boost.
