So recently I had to reflash my Xperia Play, and I've found that my PSOne Classics titles that once appeared in the Downloads list on the Playstation Mobile app no longer appear at all. To make things worse, they don't seem to be added to my Playstation Network account on any other Sony Media portal, as I tried a suggestion from Playstation support to try get them through Media Go, yet it was going to make me repurchase them as I did not have them on that downloads list either. I guess my question is has anyone else lost their PSOne titles and managed to get them back, and if so, could you share your method to do so?
I did reflash to the Lupus Kernel and am running the ICS stock rom I got off the Xperia Play development board, if that helps at all. Also, I did try backing these apps up with Titanium Backup Pro before I reflashed my phone, but upon trying to restore them, the app just loops. The backups themselves are usually only a few bytes big as well....

You've just answered your own problem. Your on the "unofficial ics" go back to stock GB and you can have your games back.

After seeing the themed Google store it got me wondering if their was a way to trick the store into thinking I was using a different phone than my r800x so that I could legally download Backstab and other games that are supposedly only incompatible with the r800x but available for the other versions of the Xperia Play.
And I have tried market unlocker to no avail. Unless I used it improperly.

Yes, I do it all the time to get games from other countries... you have to be rooted and you have to modify your phone build.prop to look like a phone for whatever country you wish to gain access to, this does not always work by the way.... but I have had some success... but to be honest its a pain in the ass to constantly have to keep multiple backups for build.props for different phones from different countries. Always having to move the modded build over then reboot and hope it works...

I'm rooted and unlocked, and modifying the build.prop is fairly simple thanks for the response. And what phones would you recommend? One that would be compatible with most games?
So I've finally gotten to that point, I can't take this verizon crap anymore. I have a nandroid backup and Ti ready to go. SO I started with installing Verizon crap, I removed VZ navigator, Backup Assistant, and Vcast Apps. After doing this now my Playstation games (both Crash, and ones I made myself) do not show in the launcher anymore, but I tried them and they do run. I guess thats cause of Vcast or???
That problem is livable, the worse problem is I am trying to convert the stock installed games (Asphalt 6 for example) to user apps to move to SD, when I do that it just says "Processing" and seems to sit there forever, I rebooted and restored my backup and tried again, and am still having the same problem. Does it just not work?
anyone? Bueller?
There's an app called preinstalled service or something, that app is needed to play psx games

Ha that's a classic!
But your correct, without vcast my apps didn't show up in game launcher and if you removed pre installed service .apk then they wont show even with vcast .
There's a terminal line you can add to make all apps installable to sd but it will also make all new downloaded apps Install to sd and I felt like downloads were slower, not that 3g is fast in the first place though.. I'll look up the line to punch in terminal and edit my post here
Edit: I think its "pm setinstallocation 2"
That's what I could remember I'll look it up officially though

I haven't used FPSE in a while and i wanted to play ff7 and ff8. But FPSE has updated a few times. Now I'm getting slow speeds and all cutscenes are just grey screens.
So can someone help me fix this or tell me where i can download an older version until this problem is fixed?

If you have made a Titanium backup you can restore it from there, and if you haven't got one you can always try the .apk way. Since you've already bought it, it should be okay.
I have it to auto backup and it doesnt keep that many backups.
I tried finding an apk online, but none of the websites I try are working. Dam warez sites, never work when ya really need them!
Try emailing the developer, and provide your order number. Maybe he'll provide you with a previous version
Hello everyone. I got the CM9 rom and I must say I really do like it. But if I try to run crash bandicoot, I get the warning about epilepsy and then the game just crashes. This also happens with other PS1 games I have on there like Crash 2 and Tekken 3. Those don't even show the warning, they show a black screen and it crashes. The N64oid, Nesoid, Snesoid, etc. emulators works fine and FPSe works fine as well. Has this happened to anyone else? Any help is appreciated.
I'm not sure, but it might be that those games only work on Gingerbread, as Sony has never released ICS officially.

I see. is there anyone that can confirm this?
Psxperia and the Sony games from stock ROM do not work on any ICS or JB ROM.
Well, Im running stock and tried to push Crash Bandicoot to User and SD, but it ultimately failed and only left me with a .avec file so I decided to get the game back by downloading an APK (Does this count as warez?) and now i've managed to download the 500mb data, but getting the same result. I know the obvious idea would be to resort back and factory reset, but I've got over 300 apps worth so its not really the best idea if you understand what I mean.

Hm, I don't know. Maybe get titanium backup if you havent alraedy, back up crash bandicoot, uninstall it and restore it? That's all I can think of
Hey guys I have two questions.
1. I would like to do a backup of my phone the same way I would do an image of my PC drive using an image software like Norton ghost or Acronis true image. Is this possible on android? I've been reading about Nandroid backup and I think this does what I want but the only way to do this with Nandroid is to root and install a new recovery correct? Am I not able to hook my phone up using the usb cable and use an app on the PC to clone the internal SD and create an image of it? I want to create an image of my phone with all its settings, contacts, txts, etc so i can have something to go back to if needed. I would like to do this before I root if possible.
2. On the Samsung Captivate section we have a wiki that has all the info you need to learn how to do certain things, mods, root, etc, etc. I found something similar for our Gnote2 here started by Mjwhirly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541 but I could not find a section of removing bloatware. I saw the link that was created by mrRobinson and he mentions using De-Bloater app that will do it for you with oneclick but is there a list of all the safe to remove apps that I can go through so I can decided which apps I want to keep and which I want to remove?
thanks in advance
Yeah you got it right - a nandroid is what you want. I'm a big time user of ghost - it's the same thing and works great. Root and install the TWRP recovery. Then first of all make a nandroid of your old system. If you want to go back to it all you'll have to do is unroot, change the recovery back, and use triangle away to reset the flash counter and you'll be where you are now - bone stock. You can't make a nandroid image backup until you root and change the recovery though.
On the second question I'd just recommend you install a rom. I use Cleanrom. It is already debloated for you (though you have still some choices), as well as optimized in ways that will amaze you (does 2+ days on battery sound good?). If you look at the various roms available, you'll see more people are using Cleanrom than any other - that should tell you something! Jedi is also great. Many of the AOSP type roms seem to have some minor issues, but the devs are trying to do a much harder thing than just debloat and optimize a rom that was originally released for your device. Whichever one you decide to try, best thing to do is just read the whole rom thread in advance if you have time. You'll read all the dumb questions that others have already asked as well as learn all the ins and outs of the whole process. If you want to then try a different rom, make a nandroid and you can always come back to your previous working system. Hope this helps and have fun!
hey thanks a lot Dumbo53
I guess i'll just have to go ahead and root and do a nandroid backup. I have actually owned a captivate since it first came out which was my first android phone and i have never installed a custom rom. I always did everything manually like debloat and stuff. Security wise how safe are these roms, I see a lot of people just running around and flashing any rom that gets posted. What I'm trying to get at is do we know what's inside of these roms or do we just rely on the honor system and assume that they're safe, like can I trust these roms if I do my banking on them, which i am scared to do ever since I saw a message from the keyboard app on my captivate prompt about capturing my keystrokes or something, basically like a key logger, so I never did try to log onto any sites involving my banking or work email etc. but now that I have my note2 I want to be able to do all that stuff, like emails, banking, accessing my site for maintenance etc etc just for the instant access part of it instead of booting up my laptop or desktop... But I guess I can say the same thing about the stock rom too.
Your banking info is much more likely to be stolen off of a corporate website that got hacked. Whenever you use a credit card to buy something from a company or store, your number passes through some unknown employee's hands and gets stored in another database. Since millions of these numbers are stored together under sometimes weak security, these sites make much more tempting targets than your phone for thieves. The numbers are then sold off in blocks of thousands on the internet. Does that worry you enough to stop using a credit card?
However it is true that there could be a risk in installing a rom, or indeed any software on your phone. If it were discovered that a dev was putting malware in their mods or roms, I'm sure it would create quite a stir! I've never heard of this happening, though I have heard of shady stuff being done with mobile apps that you buy. All I can suggest you do is just read a lot more so that it is easier to distinguish between real threats and imaginary ones, and to learn how to protect yourself. In any case financial institutions have to protect their customers from a lot of these types of fraud, or they'd have trouble staying in business.

Sounds good. I'm just getting the chance to root and install TWRP been super busy with work so I haven't had the chance to do it. Now installing a recovery does not wipe data right? also on a different note I use both the play store and amazon app store. I have purchased a bunch of apps from amazon and most of them worked but there are a few that say my phone is not compatible. Like the need for speed games and asphalt games will not install from amazon. I haven't tried the same apps from play store but maybe I should. Oh one big one is autodesks sketchbook pro. I don't even see that option on the play store when searching using my phone but its there when i search on the pc. I purchased sketchbook mobile and that works but i needed the features that pro has so i purchased that through amazon again thinking that it would work. I thought this phone was basically a tablet, shouldn't these tablet apps work on our phones?
