Crash Bandicoot no longer showing in Play Launcher.

After installing a game that was converted with PSPXperia, it's no longer showing Crash Bandicoot. Even after uninstalling the game that was converted with PSPXperia.
I've tried uninstalling the Xperia Play Launcher app and Crash Bandicoot and re-installing it through Titanium Backup. No luck.
Edit:
I'm contemplating giving up on this stock ROM anyway. Only reason I kept it was for the launcher. Any ROM recommendations? What would be the best without any loss in functionality and still runs PSx games and such well?

Tried restoring the Crash Bandicoot APK from my CWM backup, still no luck...

Did you remove the PSXperia game? Is it showing up in your launcher or in the PS pocket app? If you wanted a new rom and you have a locked bootloader I would use Xperia NXT v1.2 If not I would look into flashing a custom kernel and trying out one of the ICS builds like FXP or AOKP.

Indeed, I removed the PSPXperia game before doing all this, after realising that Crash Bandicoot, nor the PSPXperia game were showing in the Xperia Launcher app.
It's showing up in the app drawer; it's just not showing up in the Xperia Launcher app. Don't think I have access to the PS Pocket app, due to it being r800x with Verizon and whatnot.
I do have an unlocked bootloader, which of those two ROMs would be ideal for gaming?
Edit:
I read something about a "GB True Ancestor" ROM, what's that about?

The NXT rom is a Gingerbread rom that looks like the new Xperia theme. It is great for gaming and is a fast rom. I used the True Ancestor rom in the past and it was great, but was lacking some visual features I enjoyed from the NXT rom. I am currently using AokPlay and it has had great gaming performance, despite it being ICS. I primarily used FPSE for playstation gaming and on ics it has full touchpad support.

Would there be any way to get the True Ancestor ROM to work on CDMA, or is it GSM only?
Thanks for all the help, by the way,

Also, I tried to update the baseband version while still on 2.3.3 and now wireless doesn't work. Which files am I supposed to flash for the baseband? I assumed it was all that were omitted when I unchecked "baseband" in flashtool.

I don't have a CDMA device, so I'm not entirely sure. There are a few roms available for the r800x, though. I would flash the AOKP Rom and the specified kernel. There is a CDMA fix for it in the download links. I am using the linaro build and it is overclocked to 1.6, it is superfast. The only downside is that I cant get the Crash apk to work with the rom.

[Q]ARC S battery drains fast problem after rooting

Hello guys, just want to ask for your recommendation.
I have SE Arc S firmware official 4.0.4 with locked bootloader
After I root my phone (flash 4.0.3 kernel then used doomlords rooting tools then flash again 4.0.4 kernel)
I notice that after I notice that for every 1 hour it drains 5% of the battery in SLEEP MODE(yes i did'nt do touch my phone for 1 hour then it lost 5%)
Also when I play some games like gamevoid pokemon flora sky, it drains so fast I play 1 hour and it lost about 25%+ .
I already searched for possible fix for this here in the forum but no luck. Since I only find some kernels and I don't know if it works with locked BL.
I really appreciate is someone expert can help me on this.
Note: I also tried removing bloat apps so far no improvement.

change the karnel buy exeted battry

rooting is not he ultimate solution to all android problems...u need to installl custom roms and kernels as well....ice cream pureness rom with stock ernel gives me a battery drain as low as 0.7% per hour...while acronium 4 with doomkernel gives me as low as 0.3% per hour......
and why dont you unlock your bootloader, it can always be relocked again and you can claim your warranty....

ICS pureness?
Thanks Link-in,
I do checked the ICS pureness Rom. is it available for locked bootloader?
well regarding unlocking, Im a bit hesitant doing it because my Arc S is only 2months old. And I don't have any experience unlocking any phone yet.

you dont need any xperiance for unlocking the bootloder...everything is done on official sony website......in fact, i would describe it as even easier than rooting.....just go over here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and follow the steps.....and check this out for relocking (it gives you back your warranty) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324703........dont worry about any thing and just do it....
if you dont, you know that you will always have to keep on asking whether a particular rom is compatuble with your locked bootloader .and even a single fatal mistake will take your phone forever...
instaed of just thanking, could you plz. hit the thanks button(it helps a lot)

thanks button pressed.
anyway Im thinking to unlock my BL. but what is the recommended ROM for ICS? is there a 4.0.4 custom rom?
Im searching here in XDA but they are not clearly based on 4.0.4. its just 4.0.3 I think.
doomkernel looks good. i'll try it once i unlocked my BL

use stock rom or arc knight

About 80% of the custom roms are rebased to 4.0.4....and it depend on what type of rom you want for your daily use
Acronium 4 gives battery efficiency
Jj's hybrid gives superb looks
Cm7 and cm 9 give superb stability
And you need to check if doom kernel is compatible with a particular type of rom.....it is not suitable for cm's....but with that, you can overclock the other two roms

flash a stock kernel

Help to cwm, install custom ics and root, for the 1st time!

I have the R800i and I've been using stock GB since day 1. On other devices, galaxy phone to mention, i use paranoid since i discovered it, the best to me.
I gave up looking for custom ICS roms around March as camera and other things were never working. I would have never thought to see paranoid on the play some day!
So I'm happy. But wondering... First thread didn't mention things not working, does it means EVERYTHING works well? Also, is the ram available bigger than stock gb? Cause this is a pain actually, barely no multitasking...
Last but not least: i didn't unlock bootloader but i installed cwm and hard at that time later we could install custom roms without unlocking bootloader... Is that the case now finally? Would make the process less long and risky... On galaxy is soo easy to flash customs!
Add: Is there a good touch recovery like siyah on galaxy s2? Again like siyah is there a kernel for the play that support dual boot? I'm probably just dreaming...

if u want touch recovery, u can use Doom's kernel, CWM with touch support is included although touch in cwm is pretty much gimmick, IMHO
but it means u have to unlocked your bootloader, which i think shouldn't be a problem for GSM user
as for ICS, there's several good ICS Rom, but i think ICS from Markphyton is the best for now, especially if u want everything working

It is true that you can install some roms without unlocking your bootloader, but not the ones that require another kernel. Every ICS rom does need another kernel, so you'll have to unlock it. Since it's an R800i, it shouldn't be too hard though. If you really don't want to unlock it, you can use a rom like Gin2JB, which looks like it's Jellybean, but is in fact Gingerbread. There is a kernel that supports dual-booting, created by KeiranFTW: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508017
I should note that because the recovery partition (CWM) is inside the kernel on the Xperia Play, meaning you can't flash kernels from the phone. You will need a PC for that.

Thanks for the answer. I installed the jelly bean styled Rom last night, nice for now. Look at siyah kernel on the galaxy s phone, it has a great touch recovery!

Pm me and i will help you trought the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing what ever you want falshed on your phone. The paranoid rom is infact my daily drive on my xperia play 800i as well. Tho i might trow some CM 10 on it again once camara is working on those cm10 roms.

Thanks for the support, but that be later finally. I installed gin jelly and i have to send it to warranty before i unlock.
Still it's like to know : how much free team do you have after installing paranoid? On stock custom you get about 200 mb
Also as i think i asked already, does everything work, well? Camera, all wireless, etc....

[Q] New phone just rooted now which rom is for me

Hi, I got this phone yesterday ( LT15a) and rooted (thanks again to everyone who does thios stuff just for the fun of it).
ics 4.04 kernel 2.6.329-perf build number 4.1.b.o.587
I do not use this for many games, i am not a big utube user etc or a facebook user etc I am looking for great battery life (till i get get a bigger battery) any ideas which i was going to say Rom is for me? there are too many for me to guess? I used wolfs rom 6 with the x10
Also I am rooted but titanium backup will not work because I dont have busy box installed .I used titanium backup to freeze or delete all the useless crap that was on my phone I would nrever use . I am guessing this is still the best way to do it with this phone? Any clue where I can get that? With my x10 i used flashtool and got busybox that way i think it was like 2 years ago and i do not remember.
Thanks for your time
And no search before you ask comments please I have been reading for hours and I am continuing to thanks

You can install busy box from play store.
The Rom depend if you've unlocked bootloader, as most require a custom kernel.
I use pureness Rom with stock kernel and it is ok.
Rom is personal choice if you like layout, mod, options etc that the dev make for the Rom.

Depends if your bootloader is unlocked or not.

oops did not unlock the bootloader. Guess i need to go read up on that lol

As said Roms are all down to personal preference and what you want out of your fone....
Personally ive tried about 10 on my fone in the past 2 weeks, Its addictive!!
But I must say im loving Max & Jaders ICS/JB remix rom they released last night (build 2 coming soon) its in developer forum :good:
Its super smooth and bug free for me at the moment using LT18i with ArcKnight Kernal, unlocked bootloader

You can access even the adv options in the alarm settings? Does new alarms come with a predefined wake up tune?
Also, light notifications for SMS are working? Here none that I listed works...

[Q] Xperia LT15a

Hi! I am new here and I'm not really familiar with my phone...
I have a Sony ericsson Xperia LT15a
Android version: 4.0.4
Build #: 4.1.B.0.587
The phone is Rogers branded but unlocked to work on Telus
I would like to remove the Rogers splash screen at startup AND remove Rogers apps
Will that help to have more phone memory and speed up the device?
Every time it is possible, I move apps on phone to SD card. And still, I have problems with speed and available memory...even Facebook can't update...
Thanks guys

hi friend,
i also had the same lag issues........now i rooted my phone and have flashed the jb adreno libs and there is good improvement in performance mainly the home screen,..........it is very smooth and the lags have also reduced............i have got
the xperia t boot animation and the xperia v walkman player also.............looks awesome............haha...........

Welcome...
First thing, your ROM itself is making your phone quite laggy, as it is the last 4.1.B.0.587 ICS update. It doesn't need any market apps installed to be quite slow and un-smooth. It's laggy on Arc S and it's even more laggy on Arc.
As for removing carrier apps, you got two options.
First one is to root your phone, and remove the unneeded apps using some app like TitaniumBackup, but if you're not that much into rooting, then you better choose a second option.
The second option is to download (unbranded generic) official ROM, and flash it via Flashtool.
If you want fast and smooth ROM, then flash Gingerbread. It's perfectly stable and functional.

ok Thanks a lot! I will try the Gingerbread option...seems to be the easiest way!

I suggest....
Unlock bootloader will be helpfull.
Then flash custom kernel like doomkernel v22. Then u can remove bloatware in /system/app by rootexplorer for more ram.
I did it and installing some theme.
Hit thanks if i helped you
