[Q] Is my Touch pad and or gamepad faulty? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so I just bought a R800i play on the weekend and have spent the last two days researching and messing with CFW.
Now because the first thing I did was install NXT 1.3 and lupus kernel, I'm not sure if the touch pads were working or how the PSX keys are supposed to behave with to begin with.
basically I tested them with games like gun bros, minecraft and even the touchpad test app by svenk919
they do not work at all and the O key always functions the same as the back key, but all other keys seem to be working.
I even tried to go back to stock FW and tried the above apps and no luck, so I went back to NXT 1.3.
I also tried modifying the Build.prop, nothing
although new to the android CFW, I am fairly well versed in modding and CFWs coming from the PSP scene, and am sure i followed the instructions
Basically I think i'm missing drivers or something or is there a way I can tell that there is a hardware fault?
Please help because I am about to lose my hair.
it is supposed to be brand new, and there is no cosmetic wear
although I did buy it in Malaysia and may have been sold a faulty/factory second?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried Emulators, I'm talking about the hardware does not seem to be detected properly as a gamepad.
touch pad being not supported in GB general makes no sense because I put it back on stock rom and those games/apps still don't detect.
and other posts claim that NXT has everything fully working.

Try using a ROM with farenheiths touch pad fix. If its a hardware issue it probably won't help but its worth a shot

Bluetooth game pad / controller for EVO.

I would like to purchase one to utilize this massive screen for gaming. (Snes Rom, ect) I'm not looking to spend a ton of $. If anyone any suggestions that would be great.
If I'm not mistake, I do believe the Wii mote should work once the devs tweak something in the source kernel to allow that...
Which will be awesome
Last I checked the thing that needed tweaked was the bluetooth implementation in sense. I think the wiimote guys said there is something in sense keeping it from working. I doubt it is high up on the hit list for the rom devs.
Anyway, I would say we will eventually see something. I thought the same thing about roms and controllers with hdmi. Would be kind of neat.
so if the WII remote doesnt work atm whats the next best solution? Something I buy? If so..then what?
Bump.

You just have to wait, it isn't working just yet. Im sure it will happen a bit after froyo is released and after a few big things are fixed first.

It seems the BGP100 works with the EVO. I am looking for one for less than $50 but may buy one anyway because it seems awesome haha. Oh you also need the drivers for it from http://www.mymobilegear.com/GameProAn.php
There is nothing else, all HID devices don't work due to HTC's ****ness.
Just wait till one of the guys gets it working, (Probably Avalaunch)
Any news on this? I would like a bluetooth game pad as well, preferably not the wiimote, I want to try that psx emulator.

If you can live without Sense I'd give CM6 a try to be able to use your device.
EDIT: "Give it a try" should be taken with a grain of salt. I've only succeeded in getting the Wiimote to work but I just re-read your post and I'm just not sure if getting anything else to work will work at all. Maybe if you run CM6 and then try you'll let the rest of us know?
I use the wii mote and classic gamepad with cm 6. There is a tiny bit of lag but compensatable.
BGP100 and Emulators
Weird cause I was just wondering what gaming capabilities the evo has, and I can see there is already leap movements and emulators working on it.
So in my research, I download a couple emulators and now thirsty for a gamepad. My wife cleaned out our closet three days ago....and behold- a BGP100 that I purchased almost three years ago.
So after purchasing a key and downloading drivers, I'm curious to see what emulators may work for it.
Anyone has a list of emulators that work for the BGP100?
BTW....I will be selling this gamepad in two weeks.. Need a little support for school books.
CM6 is required to use bluetooth gamepads with the EVO. It's a true AOSP rom, so you'll lose Sense UI.
For emulators more complicated than NES, you'll need a gamepad with a lot of buttons. A wiimote won't work unless you get the classic controller attachment. Another option is to get Datel's wireless wii classic controller which works perfectly with the EVO. It's $50 though... which is about the same price as a wiimote+classic attachment. This is the controller I have and it works GREAT with emulators. I don't see any lag at all with my controller input.
I'm not sure if you were responding to my post hydralisk or previous. If mine, thanks buddy
Actually I managed to get the BGP100 working on my Fresh 3.1.0.2 (whatever the number) ROM. It works with no lag. It took a second. Actually, after reading up on it, it works with out being rooted.
(For those who have BGP100, ...you dont have to be rooted to use this.)
Although, I wouldnt recommend using an EVO without being rooted
I'm more curious to see what emulator this pad will work with. I dont want to purchase SNES, PSX4droid or any others with out knowing what compatibility is like.
Thanks again buddy.
Snesoid has a free version that works with bluetooth remotes. Actually how the wiimote works is it's a keyboard input so you just set your phone to use that keyboard input and to Snesoid it just thinks it's another keyboard.
Yup, a wiimote with or without a classic controller works with CyanogenMod-6. Download it if you want to use it. Plus, I have one of the SNES controller extensions (was only made available to club Nintendo members in Japan) for the Wiimote and playing Donkey Kong Country on my EVO with a SNES remote= win.

You got me curious now. Does the Stock (rooted/unrooted) 2.2 have SPP and HID support working in it now? I couldnt get anything working on 2.1 and have been using CM6 since end of July.
Zonyl, I'm not sure that it does. But I read from three current sources that whether you rooted or not, the drivers needed for to make this game pad work can be implemented.

unfortunately that's still a sense rom with a sense kernel, it just has a lot of AOSP visual elements.

broken touch pad :(

Hi all.
I have just gone play dead space today and my analogue controls no longer work. I've tested on other games as well and making sure the touch analogues are set up in the controls and they are.
I'm guessing I'm going to have to send the phone back to Sony? :'(
Don't panic...did you download any apps recently? What were the last few things you downloaded before the touchpads stopped working? Some apps mess with the game pad that's why I'm asking.

[Q] Xplay exclusives on custom rom

Hi everybody, lately, I'm wanting to get rid of Sony themes and annoying apps, and install a Stock ICS.
But as an avid FIFA 12 player, but I'm worried if this game will work, because it's exclusive for Xperia Play.
So, will it work?

If you go completely AOSP, and use a rom with NO Sony (Ericcson) material you will lose the touchpads and may also lose the directional buttons and the 4 shapes buttons as they are specific to the Sony software. You should still be able to use the touch screen with the game but that is if it will even load. I believe there are Stock Gingerbread roms with some Sony stuff left in it so that it will still use the full touchpads and game controller, if I am wrong someone please correct me but from what I have read this is what I found no Sony specific software isntalled no game controller. Like CM7 no touchpads or game controller and if there is support its only on a limited number of games like Shadowgun, etc.

Thanks for the answer!
So, I have to install a Rom based on Sony, uninstall all crap, based on a list of safe removal it can be found on this forum, and then keep hours customizing it to look like the original thing...
Damn!

For speed and ease of use this is what I do. I use titanium to backup all my apps. Then I do a Custom Recovery backup before trying a new ROM. Then wipe and flash teh new ROM, then once its all booted up, I use titanium to remove the system apps, then restore the apps you have backed up you want to restore. I did a full blank slate on my phone 2 weeks ago an what used to take hours took about 30 minutes. But yeah it sucks, this method just makes it suck a little less. And when you restore from Titanium it will at least restore all your apps data. so like I restored my GO launcher and all my wallpapers and widgets were restored as well.

[Q] ICS build .562 Temple run and other issues

First of all my Xperia Arc S is not unlock or rooted, its completely stock no modifications made upgraded thru Sony PC Companion.
anyone experience some issues on temple run when you swipe to side to side sometimes the character jumps or slides instead of turning left or right?
and another issue for me is xperia home launcher it doesnt save my settings to arrange my drawer in alphabetical order it always return to own order after opening some apps like playstore?
any solution guys?
need your help badly..
hmm,i think i read somewhere that some games arent fully compatible with ics and there will be problems with the touch screen.
yea my arc s is GB and temple run is running smooth. Then after i get ICS its not recognizing touch properly
It's appears when i update wif ics 4.0
When I downgraded this problems havn't appear.
This is a known issue with Temple Run and ICS on some devices including ours. Plenty of comments on this on Google Play so let's hope they fix it soon.
Congratulations, you are the 100th person to ask this!
It is an ICS bug, happens in most of the games. Sony's fault.
I am not happy with Sony's ICS. I actually run Achotjan's SEMC Debrand Engine and it's awesome. I recommended it.
Downgrade to GB is the best solution for this case!
I think so
Temple run is not fully compatible with the ICS.

It's not Sony's fault. I've experienced this problem on CM9 too, which is not based on anything from Sony(kernel, firmware, etc.)
I just downloaded Gravity Project and it has the same problems as Temple Run. Completely unplayable.

[?] ICS rom that works good with games?

As the title says, I'm looking for a ICS rom for our Desire which works good enough for games.
I have tried many of the ICS roms and on every rom there was a problem with almost every game.
Temple Run doesnt respond to my swipes correctly and it often automaticly turn left and dies.
Tap Tap Revenge 4 doesnt recognise the phone resolution and therefor the size of the game is incorrect, menu too big and the screen while playing is very small.
Angry Birds doesnt respond to my touch. It responds to regular buttons like the return button but when i touch the screen nothing happens.
I want to have a ICS rom that works with atleast these 3 games cuz they are my favorite. If there is a ICS rom that works with one of these games then please tell me so that I can check it up.
I want to have a ICS rom cuz ive seen the big smoothness in these roms and in the games and it beats the hell out of every other rom that I have encountered
Thank you in Advance

I'm using COS ICS rom, and I've suffered your same problems with Angry Birds many times (don't know about the other games, as I don't have them).
All the times, the problems went away if I started the game just after rebooting. The problems seem to be related to something I used before playing, or perhaps with degradation after some hours of use...
Try it...

Unfortunately, some of these apps cannot be used until the developers update the app.
Temple Run- It's a problem with the touchscreen and it does not really run well with ICS. Some official ICS for certain phones (such as Xperia S) has the same problem
Tap Tap- It is not compatible with Android 3.0 and above. You have to wait for an update from Tapulous. However, seeing that the app has not been updated for more than 6 months already, it's likely that they abandoned it for tap tap 5.
Angry Birds- I can actually play it on Sanvold ICS perfectly, albeit with slight lags. So I don't know why it doesn't respond to your touches.
Hope this helps.

I have seen today that temple run has gotten a update that according to the logs fixed many problems with ics. Maybe it fixed the swipe bug?
I didnt know a tap tap 5 is coming. Is it coming to android too? Im very addicted to tap tap and i play it alot ever since the tiesto week. One of the song that came in tiesto week was my favorite and many more good songs have come so i play it now more than ever
And ill try sandvolts rom and will cross my fingers hoping that all my other games work as well as angry birds should work.
Hope also the update that has come has fixed the swipe/autodeath bug.
Edit: Aw, sandvolts ics beta doesnt work with usb tether!
I really need usb tether cuz without it i cant have internet on my pc.
I'm using Sandvold's ICS Beta Rom 0.10.1. Seems okay for games so far. And some games you've got no choice but to wait for the developer to sort out the bugs the game has with ICS.
sandvolds ics beta 0.10 is best. i have played even mass effect without any lags or freezes.

Temple run update do fix the swipe bugs. However, its still rather unresponsive sometimes. However I'm sure it would be fixed in the near future.
According to Tapulous, they are working on Tap Tap 5, hence they haven't be updating Tap Tap 4, I don't know if it will come to android or not though. They only assured iOS. Although hopefully it will come to Android, I missed playing it ever since I switched to ICS.
And for sandvold ICS, although usb tether don't work yet, why not just use personal hotspot? It does the same as usb tether.

Confirming that the following games work fine with Nikez Lente 1.0.1a5 ICS ROM:
-Temple Run
-Angry Birds
-Basketball Shoot
-Cut the rope
-Fruit Ninja
There is a known bug that for some cases there is no sound in Temple Run, dev is working on it.
BCM von dk_zero-cool. I'm running RC3.6U0 it has the same new adreno-libs as sandvolds port and at least angrybirds and templerun a working very well, touchpad is working, too. it really sad that the phone hasn't a real multitouchsensor.
Oh very nice, i dont care so much about the sound just want the game to work. Thanks aloot for tge info. I will definitly try it out.
