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.

Is it just me or Flash player on the ics leaks doesn't seem fluid/responsive (does play or crash which didn't happen as much in gb) and can't seem to full screen just like how flash player works in gb?
Does it have to do with something with the ics leak roms by missing some components or just flash player having issues on ics..? (does flash player work just like gb like being able to full screen on other official ics roms like the galaxy nexus?)
Any workaround to full screen flash player videos on websites just like it worked in gb?
Just a concern considering I tend to watch flash videos on website like engadget and not being able to full screen x(

Use root uninstallee and remove it from ur custom ics rom and then reinstall one from Google play, it has apparently been updated to better support ics
Get Custom ICS ROM
I'm running on custom ics rom called perfection II, so far the flash is working fine for me. You should try it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579269&highlight=ics+perfection).

helped play more flash videos and was able to get them to full screen.
though it kept crashing on certain videos which didnt happen back in gb for me.(guess it's a problem with flash and ics? or maybe the fact we're not running official ics roms on t989 has to do something with it?)

most flash videos on the web doesnt seem to work for me with the Pefection II rom,
though on Raver's black edition ics rom the flash videos seem to work better although certain vidoes crashes.
*sigh* started to wonder if ics is really worth the update if flash content crashes comparing it to the working flash videos on gb...

found the solution.
(works with Raver's black edition ics rom as i tried out but didnt work in perfection II ics rom)
uninstall flash from rom
reinstall from google play
and use stock browser (certain flash videos full screened crashes on other browsers as I was using dolphin hd which crashed from full screen as stock browser didnt)
thanks guys
Ok. So it seems that the .587 ICS is hawt and i was thinking of upgrading to it from GB...
But could you please answer a few things-
1. Is it worth upgrading?
2. Why should i?
3. By removing all junk apps will it be smooth as GB (My friend's lagged alot)
I'll try to answer your questions:
1. It depends whether you want the new features that ICS offers. If you don't use you phone that much and like the speed it offers then stick with GB. Personally, I use the features. (And I like to have the latest software on everything I own, it doesn't matter if it slows it down or not :laugh
Here's a list of some of the features that ICS offers. http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/t...eatures-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-118969.
http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/
Some of these can't be used on the arc because of no front facing camera or NFC
2. Think I answered two questions together ^. But all in all if you would use the newer features, and don't mind compromising speed. Also you will be able to install of the the newer xperia S apk's. More of the dev's are only working on ICS ROM's now.
3. Simply, no. It won't be as fast, even with all of the bloat removed. Some of the custom roms do get close, but they will still use more RAM than GB
Hope I helped. If you want, I'll try to explain some more :good:

okkk thnx but then am really confused. should i. should i not...
tel me one thing. if i update it to ICS can i go back to GB by just normal flashing process?
Your choice
FIRST ICS was meant to run properly on devices with ram greater than 512mb. With only 512mb of ram it can only hold the necessary system applications of ANDROID. SO while running ICS on arc it RUNS SMOOTHLY FIRST but afterwards the apps get CACHED it starts lagging
REALLY LIKE HELL (with only 100-150mb ram gets left what do you expect its PERFORMANCE).SO i don't think that there is any possibility of running ICS smoothly forever on ARC.
JELLY BEAN on the other hand will also be requiring HIGH SPEC DEVICES..SO don't expect it also run without any lag on arc.
I don't know why SONY ERICSSON only put 512mb of ram in all it's 2011 xperia devices while also assuring to RUN OUT THE ICS UPDATE knowing the fact that ICS requires a higher RAM value.
I like the INTERFACE of ICS but to use it on the ARC IS TO GIVE UP the speed and performance.I used it for a month(tried every ics and cm9 rom)
but was too too UPSET. SO gone back to the GINGER BREAD ROM(it's best for the xperia arc).
TO USE ICS SMOOTHLY I SUGGEST TO BUY ANOTHER DEVICE WITH HIGH END SPECS.
SECOND IF you really want a beautiful experience(WITH LAG) of the interface(FOR A LITTLE WHILE) in lieu of the OVERALL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE then please UPDATE TO ICS.
BUT if you want to have a better experience(WITHOUT ANY LAG) with all of the phone's feature THEN STAY WITH THE GB.
I have tried almost every ICS ROM for the ARC and almost every ROM HAS A LAG(in the beginning it doesn't come into action but after some time when caching of system applications start it's the most HORRIBLE experience with the phone and sometimes you can't even use your phone for call or messaging (LIKE IT'S LAGGING LIKE HEELLL) )
SO it's upto you..what i think
I AM BACK TO GB FROM ICS
REST IS YOUR CHOICE
**I COPIED THIS FROM MY EARLIER POST FROM THE SIMILAR TOPICS..SO DON'T MIND IF THE POINTS ARE REPEATED
plz hit thanks if i helped

First thing, Brilliant explanation from amankumar2508007. Couldn't have put it better myself! :good:
Right, onto your question. Yeah, you can just use the normal flashing process with flashtool. If you do decide to give ICS a try, wipe everything. Apps and other files will conflict with each other and slow the phone down even more. If you need any help, just ask me. I'll do the best I can to help

I meant the wipe files in flashtool. That gets rid of everything. You should do that every time you switch from GB or ICS. No need to wipe in CWM.
What i meant by the apps is that some are the GB version. Also some of the apps really slow ICS down. It's better just to start from fresh.

Yep that's right mate.
Please don't take my last post the wrong way, I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to keep it as simple as I could

Hi all,
i love my xperia play but as most users the internal app storage is a problem.
i only use my phone for 2 main things, playing games and banking, this is where the problems starts as Barclays wont allow me to use the app on a rooted rom.
so what im after is a stock unrooted rom with all the crap removed, i.e. Sims, Bruce Lee, FIFA, timescape, Facebook etc...
alternativly is it possible to just get a custom rom clear everything out and then just unroot it???
edit: At the moment im using a Go Launcher theme and i love the fact i can set me apps to 5x5
Cheers
GTanny
scrap that ive installed nxt lite and using superSU ive removed root, no idea what to do if i want root again but ill find that out in the future
hi guys.
so im thinking of flashing stock fw but before that i have some questions.
1. which stock fw to flash? it have no bug or what so ever. 42,58 or 62?
2. is it good for heavy game? like asphalt 7, mc4, heroes of order and chaos, order and chaos duels, dh4, etc.
3. if possible can someone give me a list of safe removable system app(bloatware)?
4. v6 supercharged? is it really needed?
5. what kernel to flash? lupus gb v6? what if i didnt flash kernel? still good for gaming?
my device is r800i btw, im on aurora play atm. its fast and smooth however, sometimes my phone reboot by itself when im playing games. ive flashed lots of roms, most of the rom have an issue. so this is why i was thinking on flashing stock fw. sorry for my bad english.
the latest firmware is .62 but make your choice which is the better baseband.
and how fast did you play mc4? do you still need to connect wifi or not to play it?
its to lagging in stock rom when wifi is no connected, but its different when wifi connected.
Latest kernel and the best is lupus v7. Try it. and some kernel maybe already have supercharged.
i can play mc4 with little lag. i dont have wifi connection, just 3g.
Can I just ask anyone here if it is possible to run the Arma Tactics on Xperia Play with an ICS custom rom? because i checked in the market and it said it is compatible with my device... Thanks.
Yes, but ...

The question that comes is WILL it actually run? As long as your Xperia Play has a proper rom without a messed up device ID you should be able to snag it no problem. From my experience, the ICS Betas (4.0) and Sonygenmod (4.1) are the only roms that don't do retarded things to the phone, thus allowing proper play store use.
