Xperia Play Games Launcher Trouble - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there , New to this site and i must say this is just one big book of knowledge about phones haha!
Anyways.. I installed last night the XDark ICS (Android 4.0.3) and realized that when i slide i my gamepad up that the launcher never came up so i went to the play store and found the installer so i downloaded it and every time it gets half way to being installed a error box pops up and says.. "Incompatible with other applications using the same shared user id" SO I THOUGHT OKAY AND THAT MEANS WHAT EXACTLY!?! so i searched around this forum and found people giving download link for apk files so i downloaded it put the apk on my sd card and tried installing that but this just gives me another error and says application not installed.
I do realise that this rom may not support the game launcher but there is no mention of it is the post and thought that someone out there could shed a little light on this matter.
I am not that botherd if i cannot get this running but i find it useful when i was running the normal stock software.
The link to this rom is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729250
If anyone could help it would be most apprrciated! :good:

I think the game launcher doesn't work on ics.
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

Ohh okay I never knew. A bit dissapointing but thanks. And no your English is perfect and very understandable

There is actually the Game Launcher from the leaked ICS builds that looks nice. I have it on my 2.3.3 Xplay and it works great. just look up ICS Xperia Game Launcher and you will find it.

Thankyou I will search this and let you know the results.

The economist app not compatible with ICS 4.0.3 FC15 ?

I love this magazine and I'm paid subscriber, and I last night I upgraded my custom ROM to ICS 4.0.3 and I'm getting 'this app is not compatible with this device' error.
I have a SG2 running a custom rom.
Any pointers?
Thanks guys!
Where are you getting the error message? From market download?
Usually, most of the apps are running well on ICS. So, if you have an app already downloaded or backed up, try to install the app using backup.
If you don't have any backup, only the way would be going back to previous rom and download the app, backup and coming back to ICS. Try install the app from backup.
My one more question is, did you change the lcd density?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried installing this app by clicking directly on their website, which in turn sent me to the android market and at the top it says 'this app is not compatible with your device'
Unfortunlally I didn't back up any apps.
And no, I didn't change the lcs density, to be honest I dont even know how to do it, lol.
should I actually be doing that?
Is this a mobile echnomist lite?
I was able to download from my ICS FC15 Rom.
[update] never mind. I found the app also from their website and linked to google market.
It seems like only the way would be going back to GB (if you were able to download from there), and save the app. Then comes back to FC15 again to manually install the app.
Ohhh that's a pain in the a.......
maybe I could download the apk from a a website and try it that way?
I DO not recommend but if you can, that would be easiest way until ICS is formally supported.
For me, it worked like a charm in that way.
Now I'm removing the app from my phone.
I have the file, I think it will work for anyone that did not the backup
here it is
edit, I have to have more than 10 post to share a link, I post it on the economist forum ...
Come on Economist!
You would think for $100 a year they could provide a recent app. Think they got their heads shoved up their ipads.
I used airdroid to download the apk from my phone and then upload it back to the new tablet, worked like a charm. However, the app IS laggy with jellybean, definitely something needs fixing, scrolling is very jerky.

No I do not have,I'm using the Google play right now, since they updated the software it is working flawless...
Bump. I'm also looking for thel latest version posted above. Still not quite compatible with JB but supposedly works MUCH better and has fixed the scrolling issues, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Settings/App(Google Play)/Clear Data/clear Cache/Clear Defaults then when you go to Play Store and sign in again it should work. This is how I always clear the not compatible error.

[Q] Xperia Pro - Ultima - Play Store Error

Hi
Just installed the Ultima ROM by Riyal and I find that every time I try to open an app in play store (pardon my noobness here, first time android user) after searching, I get a Force Close error....am unable to access any app or download anything from the play store by searching for it, updates to existing apps are working fine though. Any thoughts/help please? I really love the way the phone is working after installing the new ROM but the market not working handicaps me in a major way!

Missing apps in ICS play store

I upgraded my A100 to stock ICS ROM Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip and found many apps are missing from Play Store. If I download them from app store website in browser, it says "incompatible with your device".
Does anyone knows why and is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks a lot!

Did you happen to have a modded build.prop prior to upgrading to the stock ics? By the way .012 is not the stock (if i'm not mistaken) its the last leak prior to the stock....014 IS THE stock...

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't do anything special on build.prop before to .012 rom.
I just flashed to Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1 but the problem (missing apps) still exists.
One example of missing apps is ireader (full version). I can only see ireader (offline). From the other tablet (Nook Color CM9), I can see both versions of ireader.
I also tried to edit build.prop as suggested in this forum to mimic my A100 as A500 in Play Store (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525964), still no luck.
Can anyone help me out? There are many apps I use heavily but cannot load onto A100.
Thanks

Development?
I'm pretty sure thi isn't development... Sounds alot like a question that needs an answer. If you want to get a better response, you might want to delete this thread and re-post in the correct forum. Also when you get some time, drop by and read forum rules... Jus sayin'

Pretty much correct, dev is for releases of some sort, not questions. Buuuuut since its already here may as well pitch in lol.
Modded build.prop is most common way around it, but you can also side load apps from other sources and install from SD or adb.

Dead trigger and Trueancestor v1.6 LE

Hello,
I installed the TrueAncestor V1.6 LE rom on my Xperia Play and it works really great !
The only problem I have is I can't install Dead Trigger from Goole Play. It says my device is not compatible with this version ...
So i tried installing it with an apk i got somewhere else, and the game loads fine into the menu, but when I start the mission I got an infinite loading screen and the phone doesn't work anymore, only way to reboot is to remove the battery.
Can anybody tell me why it does'nt work anymore (it worked great with the official stock rom), and tell me what to do to get it working.
Thank you ! :laugh:

i found the apk and data else where and it worked however i can't post links due to it being a kinda "warez" site
You need to edit your build.prop it has already been mentioned in the DeadTrigger thread in Xperia Play Themes And Apps
Thank you for your reply.
Yes I saw this post mentionning the build.prop file, but I don't know what I should edit ... Can you tell me what I should do please ?
try this file.its stock 2.3.4 .58 enhanced build.prop
Just extract it and then replace the build.prop in /system with this build.prop

Thank you for your quick reply, I really appreciate.
In fact I was using the wrong apk (V1.01 instead of V1.1.1), so now it works with the good one.
I will still keep youy build.prop in case I need it in the futrue.
Thanks again ! :good:

According to me, you have to install the gapps (Google Apps) that are in the second post, I tried to install it but always gave me the error of the multicolored, because of faceunlock, told to return to normal colors with only remove , but honestly it felt very slow, do not know, better turned to ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) ... regards
I would recommend removing the ringtones or if you care enough you can just move them to the sd card as the space required is very little.

Pspocket only works on stock GB and maybe stock ICS. Somyoumwont be able to use it anyways fpse and epsxe support much more games and its faster then converting a game every time you want to play. You just load a ROM up and play
