[Q] Games Crash - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Xperia play Stock rom with "my tweak collection"
I wiped dalvik cache via CWM and games crash and show screwed up graphics and text.
Some games work fine(PES 2012).
Some game's gameplay works but their menu's text is jumbled up(Virtua Tennis, Plants vs Zombies, Minecraft).
Some games appear zoomed out ( Angry Birds Space)
Some games lag. (Temple Run)
How can I fix this?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and again they wouldn't work.
I have already restored my nandroid and it makes no difference.
I wiped all user data and restored my data with Mybackup Root and again it wouldn't work.

My bootloader is locked.
Is it ok for locked bootloaders to clear dalvik cache?
Also, what if I try the Sony software repair service?

can u use pc companion to repair it?

Well I'm going to try. I'm downloading software right now. Am I going to lose my root? Or have any other problems?

It worked, but I lost my root and all my apps

Restoring games after flashing new firmware.

I have not seen any threads about this so I have to ask this now. I am tired of flashing new firmware but then having to update each game over wi-fi all over again. Using root explorer can I just save the files in the mnt\ASEC folder to my SD card & simply restore them after (ex. \mnt\asec\com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftAsp6.asphalt6-1.asec)? Or is it mnt\secure\asec\ com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftAsp6.asphalt6-1.asec? Do I have to change permissions? Is this even the folder that has the full updated data or am I looking in the wrong spot? And then should I install individual game's APK after the transfer?? I would think this would allow someone to save games and share them with other xperia play users as well? Any help is much appreciated.
Why not backup all your games in titanium backup with data before flashing new firmware?
I really did not think of that. :| I know I can restore the app(or game), but would I be able to restore the apps data on a different firmware without getting problems or fc's? Especially when flashing different custom ROM's I know certain apps may not work when you try to restore the data as well.

Games should be fine when transferring from one ROM to another because games are supposed to run on different devices and they don't really take a phones hardware profile/rom into consideration when running...
I transferred stock to cyanogen and didn't have any issues, Apps like video players/ad blockers/audio player might be a bit of a bother but you could easily reinstall them.
Well this sounds like a good solution to me and its simple too. And since I have always used used titanium backup anyways it would seem I have always had backups to my games. Now you see why I had to ask.lmao. Thanks for pointing this out and hopefully this helps someone else out.
Ok im back to the same question again about where the actual game update data is stored again. I was successful before restoring game on my phone ,but say I want to share my games (that are already updated) with a friend on another xperia play, then is there a folder that I need to manually transfer over to their SD card that has game data? Basically I did backup of the games with "TB" on my phones SD then I put that SD card in other xplay,restored to root of phone, booted up game fine without need to update over wifi message but after reboot. I got the same damn message.... ??
*EDIT**
After reading on different sites I think that on the SD card I have to have a folder called Gameloft/Games/(x). X will be a specific folder for game (EX.GloftA6HP for Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus is Games/GloftBPHP ). Without this Data file in proper place I guess you are forced to do updates over like me.lol. If anyone cares. Hope it helps.

[Q] backing up before unlock + root

Can someone help me backup my phone before I unlock the boot loader and root it? It seems the only way to backup is if I'm rooted. Which is why I'm here asking. I'm just backing up mainly for saving my game data on angrybirds, etc. I tried the app "My Backup" since its for unrooted devices too, but I tested it on angry birds. I backed it up. Went to settings annd then apps to clear data and cache and then uninstall the app itself. I then restored the it with My Backup and it seems to unly reinstall the app but not the data, so I basically got to start from the beginning of the game again.
Thanks in advance

Gameloft games wont work anymore.

Hi guys my gameloft games won't work on my HOX anymore. I did a full wipe on ytd n flash ordroid v1.33 coming from v1.31, afterwards whatever I do all my gameloft games won't work anymore. It just closes n pop back to homescreen after the loading icon. Before it was working perfectly... Now even ice age village won't open, it keeps saying network error while I have a perfectly working network. I installed new apk, restore using TB, wipe cache, edit build.prop n still no luck... Can someone help me? This is driving me nuts thanks!

you should do a full wipe, always recommended, and see if that solves the problem

Issues with ICS

I have issues with my Xperia Arc S for some games, Can't play Iron man 3 on it and I can't play several other games when they are backed up. I use Titanium Backup. I back up them and then I try to open the game and it says: Unfortunately app has stoped... Is there any solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
Depends if they were backed up from a gb rom or ics, maybe a data issue. Either way, the best thing to try is restore the app first then the data.

Returning to stock ROM Xperia M

Hi all,
Over a year back, I updated my Xperia M(C1904) to JB 4.3(latest build) and the experience since then has been quite mixed for me. While I am loving the updated walkman, album and movies apps as well as the apps and of course, the camera, constant lags has been ruining my experience as a whole. Furthermore, dunno for some reason, my internal memory keeps on decreasing despite not installing any new apps or updates and clearing cache constantly. So now I wish to revert to the original build(JB 4.1) which was super smooth although I will be compromising on my camera. So I have a few questions:
1) How to revert to original ROM? (Factory reset maybe?)
2) I play subway surfers and have unlocked a lot of stuff. If I backup my game data and restore it upon reverting to original build, will the game data remain in tact?
Thanks
You simply need to flash an older version of the firmware to your phone.
This page has detailed instructions on how to do so, as well as links to various firmwares. Although some of the links are dead...

Thanks but I will rather use sony's official flash tool instead one last thing, what about my subway surfers question?
Thanks
Helium app by ClockworkMod from Google Play may work...
Didn't try it because never needed it. I'm just mentioning it because it is the most used app for data backup of games and apps. But also Google's own backup and restore option from Settings>Backup&restore>Account for backup may also work. Good luck.

I don't know about Subway Surfers, but the official flash tool (Emma) doesn't support the Xperia M. :|

You can copy the com. files of subway surfers and later paste in the internal storage after flashing 4.1. It would be better if you take the apps backup with Sony's Backup & Restore App.
