[Q] lost xplay game launcher more games

I stupidly deleted funandgames.apk on my rooted xperia play.
now when I flip open the pad I cannot goto more games and see what new game delights is available
I have downloaded system dump and still can't find the newer .368 dump
just the old one with getgames.apk which doesn't retrieve any games. just says loading and distant do anything. anyone friendly people Wanna share funandgames.apk with me or direct me to a system dump with this on. your help would be appreciated.
also my battery drains quite quickly on .368 compared to .184 still the same apps etc running nothing different any ideas people. will this stablise over time? cheers
It's the firmware that's killing your battery. Use a generic 2.3.2 and ota to 2.3.3. Had some problem. Also I froze the fun and downloads.apk just press the search button at the top right to see all the xperia play optimized games in the market. I noticed ea and gameloft games don't show so here you go.

[Q] Rooting & Unrooting Xperia Play

Hello xda comunity!
I got an Xperia PLAY about 2 days ago and it comes with tons of bloatware and pre-installed apps which I would like to erase. I have been searching in Google a way to root and then unroot it but I don't know too much about this since this is just my first Android mobilephone and my consoles just got stolen some days ago I wouldn't want to lose my XPlay... So, if anyone could guide me in the correct way to do it I would appreciate it.
Btw, my XPLAY is an R800a

I use the built in rooting feature of Flashtool ver 0.6.7.0 if it does not work, my alternative would be Doomlord's Zergrush (always works 100% of the time for me). You just have to download some Java stuff like the ADB drivers, etc. There are many useful links on the Xperia Play Android Development section. I have Google as my best friend as well

[Q] Star Wars Force Collection?

So, the new CCG Star Wars Force Collection came out a couple of days ago. I have played enough of it to want it on my XPlay (R800at). But, the app is for Android 4.0+. Before I go through all the effort to unlock my bootloader (yes, I know I should have done this a long time ago) and load a 4.0+ ROM, has anyone installed this? If so, how is the performance? Which ROM are you using? Any OC settings?
Thanks!
Never knew it existed till you mentioned it. I have not played it but for those interested here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.konami.swfc
Thanks for the market link. If I had thought about it, I would have provided it. Oh well.
Also, if anyone would be so kind and try it out for me, i would appreciate it. It doesn't take very long to get a feel for the performance and you don't have to sign up until a little ways into the tutorial. By then, you should be able to tell if it will work on the Play or not.

Pre-installed games(? :) )

So, not in a long future I am going to buy Ouya android gaming console, cause I have found pretty great deal. But I heard that the "Ouya Store" is shutdown + most of Ouya titles are arcade-type of games...
So I have a big big big request, if you still have pre-installed games on your Xperia Play phone could you back them up for me to .apk format and kindly include the data (.obb file)?? <3 unfortunately I had sold my phone few years back and since it had playstation controlls I think it could run well on ouya (I hope this ain't against XDA forum rules)
Please, help me out <3 cause I would love to play some The Sims 3 or Bruce Lee or some since delete EA or Gameloft Games (like Nova or Dead Space ) on full screen.
p.s i have look over the internet for the xperia play version of the sims 3 (com.ea.thesims3 not the other one) and it is nowhere to be found so please help me out here.
I actually loathe all the built in games aside from Crash, but I can help you out here at least with The Sims, recently got a play from ebay with it installed. I'll try to download the other games too, I tried Crash out of curiosity the other day and it still worked.
Though I'm not sure they will work on any other device.
Will upload later today!

If you managed to get Crash working, could you upload the files for that? I'm talking about the .apk and .zpak files. I'm only asking you because I can't seem to get it working on my device (but then again I've got a custom ROM and unlocked bootloader...) and I'm not particularly keen on returning my phone entirely to stock for the possibility of maybe managing to download it myself.
You actually can take out the game apks from the firmwares, so actually dont need to reflashing many times of your device at all.
Though i've some question to ask. Im own the Asphalt 6 HD before buying at the Gameloft website at old times (but when installed the game is not HD at all), but the game refuse to download the data, thou im still thinking why is not working anymore in this year but when im use the game apk from the Japanese FW, (this is the truely HD) and the game just works. If there any way to bypass it, please PM me. Many others Gameloft games that i've buy and own is not working anymore, but only from the Firmwares still works.

Need Help Flashing

I have an old Xperia Play that's been lying around for a bunch of years now and looked back at my pile of phones including an Xperia Z1, Xperia Z3 and this Play and it dawned on me the uselessness of these working machines, especially seen as the Play has a fully functional gamepad. So my aim is to flash the most recent version of Android that still has drivers for the pad and to give it a tasty ROM on top. Trouble is, I'm seemingly inept. I've scoured the internet looking for instructions but I'm just not following. I have no prior understanding of the subject other than how to turn on USB debugging, the rest I've literally never seen or heard before so if some kind, patient soul could give me a step by step, it wouldn't exactly save the world but it'd make me warm and happy inside that I could play GTA on my upgraded Xperia play. the phone is barebones as it was in the shop atm, so Android 2.3.4 (I think), and I saw an XMB style ROM and would like to use that if that helps with the process of explaining. Thanks in advance.
