[Q] Ohgawd noob questions - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After watching the noob video when registering, I'm facepalming myself already.
Anyways. I'm a completely android noob. I'm handy on iOS or stuff like Windows. But I'm just lost with Android.
If I root/jailbreak an android, applications will be super duper free of charge and is there is an installer app like a jailbroken iOS would have?
Are gameloft games available after rooting because I understand that they like the android market.
Are themes and keyboards kind of like a download plug and play kind of thing?
Looking around, it seems like you an download games from the internet browser?
Sorry for the newb questions, Thanks!

Anyone? Easy questions.

20 minutes and demanding a reply, easy dude!!!
Rooting just gives you more control over the phone allowing you to install / uninstall things that SE have 'added' to the phone.
Also allows things like getting recoveries, new roms and firmwares on your phone.
If you want to install 'super duper free of charge apps' I think you'll get little help on here. It's a developer forum and as such, they support peoples products and don't rip them off.
The only advice I'll give on that is enable install from unknown sources in your settings and try something like getjar.com as they give away some games for free, including a gameloft game atm, all legit.

Haha. With 71 views in 20 minutes and not a single noise. I had to ask.
It makes more sense now. Thanks!

As the person above said, root has nothing to do with installing pirate apps. You can do that without root. This is a development forum not a warez site, the discussion and sharing of warez is prohibited and can lead to a ban.

I understand. Thanks for clearing it up for me!

Oh, so my understanding is that the R800i and R800x are just different regions that the Xperia comes from?

Well this is the q&a section but this guy obviously has no idea what he is doing and just sounds like an idiot trying to get everyone else to do the work for him instead of doing some searching and reading

Lol this question is pointless you clearly didn't read the release thread

lol come on guys let up lol you have to get them from an xperia play and no you cant download the files
people should read threads that exist before asking noob question
Typed with SwiftKey X for Xperia Play
very true indeed
Yeah and people should stop being so god damn rude. He asked a question on where to download the files of the game. Not the program.
@OP
Developer here at your service. I'm sorry. But the question you are asking is related to warez. So I can't give you a direct link. But here's a clue. PSX Games, ISO DL in google. But I must remind you. It is illegal to dl games that you don't own. I am in no way responsible if you are caught and arrested and made into someone's ***** . Joke . But seriously. That's all I cam help you with. And ignore children that think is fun to be rude.

You were one once mate. So grow up and be helpful and stop being a noob. He asked the right question in the right place. Maybe he is new here and only has a few posts. And can't post in the development thread. People like you annoy me. Going around thinking your better than everyone else and treating people like stupid people. Some people just ain't techy like us. I had to help a 40yr old bloke yesterday understand how to unlock the bootloader of the nexus s. He didn't know where to start and he isn't techy like us. So next time maybe just not reply and just write to yourself "I was a noob once. I was stupid once. I needed help once." and then maybe help and not be rude.

[Q] Can we ban people who...

Just a request...
Until there is OFFICIAL word from Sony, can we please permanently ban anyone who posts about Xperia Play 2 announcements?
It's getting old and annoying.
Ban? Easy, killer. You don't have to read the rumor threads if they bug you.
Just a request... Can you ban people who complain about opening threads they know they wont like?
If secret hdmi ports, magic IPA converters, and ps3 emulators didn't rack up bans, I don't think people -actually discussing the phone- will.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
dont forget the PSP emulator or the ability to copy your PSP games to your Xplays and well... play them!!
Or the ability to play a psp game and xperia game in adhoc mode...
Or anyone who disagrees with me.
Or anyone with a username I think is stupid.
Or anyone. Period.

Sent from my R800i using xda premium
No, we like redheads. We just treat them like they aren't our own children.
As for handing out bans is concerned, how about we ban everyone who doesn't read before asking a question? Oh wait, we'd have to ban nearly half of the user base...

Too many ads

I know this forum is not necessarily the place to post this but someone from XDA will see it this way. Seriously there are far too many ads in the forum pages. It's causing a huge lag at times because of all the stupid banners that are loading. Ya'll should really think about getting rid of some.
Sv: Too many ads
Less ads = less money
Less money= pay
Cheers

Buy Tapatalk or XDA premium and quit crying about a free site needing to generate some revenue. What do you think all the bandwidth for the 4+million users is free? All the webmasters and admins work for free? Someone donated the hosting? Here's an idea go run your own free site with no ads and see how long you keep it running with all the costs coming out of your pocket
I like to break stuff!
I also think its too many ads.. But I also agree with the guy above me.. Its not free to run this site.. Plus I use my phone for xda.. I might use the actual website once every few months

Sometimes I feel like a terrible person for using adblock on sites such as xda and reddit. Then I open up internet explorer to make myself feel better.
Op why don't you use adblock?

If you're going to whine about ads, then use Adblock Plus or something. It is someone's income. I am perfectly OK with XDA having ads considering the wealth of information that is consolidated onto a single site.
Ya use ad block
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
how is it even possible for someone with over 2k posts to still not know about adblocking extensions for chrome and firefox? you're obviously not new to the internet and have spent quite some time on this forum alone. use your God-given brain.
Use adblock with standart settings. It will allow few adds on site. Admins will have money (for site hosting), you`ll see less adds.
this site used to be ad free.. then i guess someone got a bit greedy and decided to infest the site with ads. yes i know running a site cost money but there are many ways to bring income without having 5+ ads on a single page, as a result i use ad blocker when i visit here.. i know from experience as i run my own site since 2001.
they could at least maybe do a premium membership where members and developers (some who even use this site to "advertise" their apps) can donated a few dollar and have no ads. maybe a recurring membership every 3-6 months with added features.

Complaining about free tech support. Way to exercise that free speech. Typical liberal thinking, apply the rules to yourself the way you see it benefits you.
I found those long signatures more annoying than ads here. I'm used to the layout of the page, and my eyes just ignore those places for ads. But, as I am browsing the posts, those long signatures take a lot of scrolling.
I do use the app, which does not show the sigs, and jumps to the last unread (like it very much). But I'm on my computer all day.

Uh, this is a privately owned forum. Free speech doesn't apply here, they can tell make you shut up about anything they want. Theres no constitutional protections in privately held venues, on the internet or in real life. The first amendment only guarantees that the government can't stifle your speech.

Spoiled Chidren Ruining XDA

I have noticed a rash of rude and uncalled for comments lately. Here is a little advice for noobs.
Trolling or Fishing on a Devs thread is childish. How old are you? 12? They take their spare time to develop roms, mods, hacks etc. and give them to us for free. Making comments such as "This rom sucks" is just wrong. If you do not like the rom, don't use it. Respect is earned on this site.
When needing help, please search for the answer first. If you cannot find a good enough explanation, then ask the question politely. Include as much information as possible. Phone code name, Hboot version, S-On or S-Off, What rom you are using etc. I know some people will tag it at the bottom but put it in the description of the question as well. It is hard enough to help someone without having to figure out what kind of phone they have too. Be polite. Hit the thanks button. It is free and does not hurt at all. Remember that XDA is a developers site. They invited you here to share their work with you freely. Senior members help a lot of people on a daily basis and you should keep in mind that they get tired of answering the same question or fixing the same problem. Being polite and keeping your cool will get them to help you a lot faster and things will go alot smoother.
Thanks,
Venomtester

See sig line.
we do get alot of these threads actually. we should make a "thread of shame" but make sure it is made a sticky.
since im ocpd i go through every single evita thread every couple months. =) sometimes i bump old things.
edit: decided to go through One X Android Development just now
i like a clean house
i wish i was a forum mod, cause i see tons of threads that need to be moved and/or locked or both, like the threads that needed to be moved in the dev sections that were just closed but never moved, or were moved but still say "Moved: " in original posted forum.
was this Xperia Z rom port please! not moved but closed in case a dev would see it and want to port it?
why do some threads say "Moved: " but still show up in it's original location? back when the new rules of threads with no downloads can't be in dev section many of those seem show up as "Moved: " which seems beneficial as they originally hinted at dev usage but didn't exactly conform to the rules of that section so seeing them in both places might be helpful?
XDA is just a subset of society.
In society, there are nice people, not so nice people, smart folk, idiots etc.
There will always be a mix of all types here, and while venting about noobs probably makes you feel a little better for a short time, the fact is it isn't going to change a thing.
My advice is just accept that it is how it is. Maybe have another beer and everything will seem just that little bit better.

Hey, guys! My name is Ramzil.
Can I submit my game in some of these forums? Game for children about guessing and mixing colors. This is my first game I've done in about 5 months. I don't know how good it is. and would like to get some feedback from users. How do I do that, and is it even legal?

Thank you. But, I forbid any restriction to leave a link to my game. No one will ever copy text from a message and paste it into a browser just to watch my game.
I understand that I need to get 10 post on this forum to remove the restriction. Do I just have to go into somebody's thread on this forum something to ask or recommend?

Posting 10 useful posts is not that much. Just read fourms you're interested in, you will probably come across people needing help, you can also ask questions if you need in Q&A sections. Just be patient and then you can post anything that is allowed on xda by the forum rules.
