getgames.apk and funandgames.apk

Hi,
I have been stupid and deleted the getgames.apk and funandgames.apk....
Now my Xperia Play Games Launcher does not show the "Get Games" tab anymore...
Please could someone upload these two files for me!?! I would really appriciate it.

Read description for file

I also have a question about Get Games. There are icons on that screen but when I click on any of them, they all say "No Content". Shouldn't clicking on the icon launch the Market to download them, or show a video or do something? And what is funandgames.apk? Thanks!

Yes you can remove those without worry but then your games launcher won't have the get games tab anymore but everything will still work fine

If you really want to, you can freeze apps with TitaniumBackup or ROM Toolbox.

[Q] Back button app close

Haven't been able to find the option to close apps by long pressing the back key on development menu.
I've been wondering, is it somewhere else? If not implemented on stock Sony ICS is there anyway to add it?
Xperia Pro mk16 @ Tapatalk

You dont need it. The system closes it if its not in use for a time.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

System closes apps after 30min of not beeping used but there are apps like Facebook that otherwise I must manually close from app list, that's why I'm asking.

Not sure about other ROMs but the XGAMER rom has it included, i find it quite useful to be honest but may be a placebo effect.
Im sure if you ask the dev he will help you

[Q]my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers

i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?

OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do

Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

No....it's more likely to be too much software trying to access too little ram.....
The W has very little compared to some phones....

yes stock rom

That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

I think that for better battery savings more than one app should be installed.

Greenify. Reducing wakelocks and keeping CPU usage as low as possible + longer standby sessions = win.

Greenify n Qualcomm Battery Guru... Greenify made a big difference.. QBG seems like a normal battery saver app..

But, for example : Freezing apps with Titanium is better than hibernating the apps with Greenify ? Does Greenify do the job 100 % ? I mean freezing must have up's and down's ofcourse, but when you want to open an app from a frozen state, it will open normally without any bugs ? I agree that Greenify it's the best out there ,but what I'm trying to say/ask is if it is ok to froze an app.

You would freeze system apps that you don't need. While use greenify to hibernate apps that you do you but don't need running when the screen is off. Such as Facebook or maps.
If greenify doesn't let you hibernate apps cause they are system apps, use titanium backup to convert them to user apps. Or delete the app, eg facebook or maps and then reinstall it from the market

I have this option in Titanium : Integrate updates of system apps into ROM. Is that option the right option to integrate those apps into ROM? Or that option integrates only the apps updates? Well, I just found out, don't do it, don't integrate, it will mess up your phone. Apps will start disappear from where you put them, and so on, it sucks big time.

I am running the paid version of titanium backup not sure if that makes a different. But if you select an app there is an option to "covert to system app" or "concert to user app" but obviously you should only do it for apps that you understand.
Your easiest solution is to reflash or install your rom but without clearing or wiping your user data, so just system files are replaced. Or use a backup of you have one

There is one tiny bit of problem here - where is proof? Screenshot?
It is impossible to experience no battery drain in 12 hours. If phone is turned on, of course.

Yeah. Screenshots.

Here u can find build.prop tweaks for no drain battery.
