Hi, I am new here so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong place.
I have looked through the forums, and there doesnt seem to be any help for alot of people who have asked the same question. Blank screen.
I had psx4droid running, had a bios selected, but when I tried loading a rom (ff7, which others have no issues running) I just had a black screen and nothing happened. Phone was still responsive, but nothing appeared.
Can anyone help an eager student to understand things a little more clearly.
Try a different rom, I had exactly the same issue with another game.
i have the same problem, with android 2.1 i could use psx4droid, but when i update to 2.2 psx4droid doesn't work anymore... i don't know how to fix the problem

a few roms wont work, idk why but they dont. try downloading different version of roms from different source and try them. maybe they will work?
If it's a .ecm file, you have to uncompress it. Search for an ecm decompiler.
Exact same issue. Roms were working smoothly on 2.1 but now they seem to crash the app everytime. I think we may just have to wait this one out
Phew, no 2.2 for me then. I play FF7 every day!
Hi, How is the sound for you guys. I am running on a samsung epic and the video is incredible smooth for a lot of games but the sound, while it isn't terrible it is no where near what I would describe as good. I'll just use the final fantasy as my example. Is there a specific format that is better for me to rip my games to like .iso, .bin .img to get better sound?
the sound is sometimes choppy and sometimes slightly garbled. They are still playable but if I can improve them it would be great.

Sound is choppy for me on my Samsung Galaxy i9000.
I wish he would code it so it uses Open GL rather than the software renderer, that way he'd get much better performance out of the graphics leaving the CPU to process the sound and other things.
Judging by his schedule, he's not that interested in optimizing the emu.
Only had the SGS for 2 weeks now.Came from Symbian phones.
So I tested all the emu's for them in the day,the picodrive,the Vampent SNES and GBA emu's etc.
So when I browsed the market and saw a psx emu I was amazed....sure come a long way to be able to run a psx emu on a mobile phone (of sorts).
Yeah,while not that many roms work and a bit slow with sound I think it sure is a big achievement to have a psx emu at all. Damn amazes me.
This phone (and the android OS) still suprises me.

PSX4Droid
Today I found the PSX4Droid and was trying to set it up. It tells me that I have to specify the BIOS file(s) before I can play any games can someone tell me what it or they are and where I can find them please.
Yeah,you need the the PSX bios file.
Ofcourse you should have your own from a disc you own D) otherwise google scph 1001 and you will find
(Hope its allowed to post this if not Mods please delete)
i would love for this to get a big update, as great as it is to have a psx emulator on my phone there is very few games that actually work and even less that work correctly.
i know this is new though so i have faith even though it did take years for it to be as good as it is on pc so it may not be in this generation on phones that we see great emulation (maybe 3.0 phones if were lucky)
Hey all,
Perhaps I should post this in the captivate forums being that I have one, but I will start my question here.
As far as the emulation goes, just about everything runs perfectly that I have tried other than Tekken 3.
My question is: has anyone found a way to swap disks (like FFVII requires) without having to use a psx emulator on your pc and changing the file names etc...?
psx4droid + Ginger xxkpe?
thats it. ill like to ask if any1 had luck booting a rom on Ace with that OS thx
soz if i sound nuubish, thats just cos i am
btw ill like to say hi in this my first post and thank the community for this awesome place
Downloaded an upgrade to Skype today, and included was a bunch of new devices, that got videocalling with the upgrade. Among others was the Iconia A500, but of course no A100. ARGHHH!!!
After a couple of weeks of owning the A100, I'm more than happy at the size and speed of this little tablet, but it's getting to be really tiresome, that most of the cool new games and apps I find in the Market aren't compatible with the A100
Even some TABLET APPS aren't compatible.
And this is just the apps openly state they aren't compatible. With some of them, you won't find out until you either open it, and a message tells you that your device isn't compatible, or it just plain crashes on you...
(To further the confusion, in some cases you can download a demo from Tegrazone, but when you try to buy the full game after happily playing the demo, Android Market tells you, that the game isn't compatible with your device.... WTF?!?!)
Who's fault is this exactly? Is it Google that messed up? The developers that are just plain lazy? Or is Acer somehow to blame?
(I noticed that most apps report my screen in the A100 as being 600*976 pixels. Is this somehow the problem for at least some of the uncompatible apps!?)
And more importantly, what can I as a user do? Shoot off some friendly emails to developers? Or can a root or somekind of hack help solve the problem?
Opinions, suggestions?

Errr, yes it is (on A500/A501)! If you took 10 seconds to search you'll find in the skype parameters the possibility to turn on video (it isn't by default) and it works, I've just spent an hour on skype video, you can choose which camera you want to use, everything works perfectly. Sorry for being off topic but I just wanted to clarify what the person above me said...

Those options do not exist in HC 3.2 on the A500.
In mine stock 3.2 non root exist. Is in settings at the skype application. But you need the last skype update. I just finished a video conference right now and it worked great. Try again.
Alright, on 3.2 Rooted, but the rom that has all the bloatware and everything pretty much intact Skype does not do video calls or show ANY of the video options in the settings.
I reverted back to a backup of 3.1, and the app DOES do video call, and show the video call settings.
I don't know what your doing Kekinash, but you've got a magical tablet.
That's weird, my A501 on 3.01 stock rom with root is compatible with skype video calls.

This is both an opinion as well as a suggestion...
Be patient
Unfortunately the 7" and 8.9" sizes are 'new territory' for HC apps. Devs worked to get apps compatible with/to 10" screens and the associated resolutions that run on that size primarily for their tablet-only applications. In the same way devs for phone (1.5-2.3) apps have been working to make their apps scale up for tablet use, I'm sure HC-only app devs are working quickly to make their apps scale to smaller tablet screen sizes and those new resolutions. Even if the resolutions are already supported, afaik there's an issue in 3.2 causing them to crash when paired with 7" screens either way.
So when I say be patient, I mean hold out a bit longer and I'm sure things will be up to spec. On one hand you'll have the quicker devs fixing their apps to work well with smaller screens/different tablet resolutions and worse case scenario, you know it's all coming together anyway for ICS and at that point, everything SHOULD work.
Edit:
And friendly emails to devs let me tell you, do tend to get the job done. Especially when the app is popular. I use Getglue and was frustrated that it wasn't after quite a long time, not changed to be compatible with 3.0.1. I wrote a friendly email to the dev. asking for a Getglue for Tablets because I really loved the app and I sit with my tablet beside me more so than my phone now at home, etc. etc. and I got a response from my team saying that the app was unfortunately no longer compatible, but to use the mobile site. This was in July. Then roughly a few weeks or so later, voila! Fix'd. So it never hurts to let them know what's up.
most apps work in my stock A100
So far I have had no problems with the apps I use and have downloaded or even pay for. Skype now does video calls perfectly, the only app that was crashing a lot was a spell checker tha I did uninstall and replaced with an other one that has no problems.
Just checked, and the video options DID turn on in Skype.
Along with a little warning that it might not be supported, blah blah...
So I got to use the front camera for the first time today
Dunno if it's just me but it seems not all the apps I could/can see on my A500 appear on my A100. Same gmail account. For a while I couldn't find Facebook on the market.
Yeah, there would be a lot of apps for the A500 that aren't compatible with the A100 I can imagine.
Best way to check, is to go in to the www version of the market, then you can see all apps, no matter if theyre compatible or not. If you have several devices, the www market tells you which one of your devices an app is compatible with. I wish there was a similar feature in the market app.
BUT! On the bright side, I DID get around to rooting my A100... You think that might make a difference in regards to apps? Is there some kind of workaround available now that its rooted?
I just activated cam on my A100 and it is working fine.
?? Does Skype update automatically???

my Wife has the Iconia Tab 7" and when she gets incompatibility issues, all I do is side load the app. example, American Express app says its not compatible with her device. I just copied it from one of my Android devices and Bluetooth it to her, she installs it and it works 100%
sometimes the market place is just wrong. when I want an app even though the market says NO, I find the .apk from somewhere and install it. on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gameloft says their game Lets Golf 3 doesn't work....BS, Ive been playing this game for a month now with ZERO issues.

No. Not that I do much gaming, but the like 5 games I do play do well. Except for "Osmos" or whatever its called, the music skips really bad.
I understand, is that I play a lot, and several games are not even opening, especially those from Gameloft, already checked in other sources, but few users with JB yet, so check with the guys from the forum here is necessary.

Interesting. Zynga games work fine, World of Goo works fine, Temple Run is great as well. You should check in the Themes and Apps sub forum of the Galaxy Nexus forum and search some game threads, I remember quite a few talking about working/nonworking games on Android 4.1.

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

Toroplus build for 20141015 report for new install
Hi, I just flashed the OMNIRom for Toroplus. It works and boots up. I do notice a speed increase through some of the apps and general bootup. I come from using CM11 nightlies. I was on the last nightly(20140913) before flashing. I have a couple of questions to ask:
1) Does it matter which recovery to use? *I currently have CWM v6.0.5.0
2) Why do I get so many crashes with systemui? *I cleaned my device after backing up, followed the instructions on the install thread, and this kept happening, I factory reset twice with OMNIRom and it still kept happening? I know it is in beta. I know to expect bugs. I want to thank the developers for the hard work they put into this ROM. For without it, I am stuck with 4.4.4 forever. I will try again soon. I want to help test stuff for the devs.
Snapchat Constantly Failing
This is a really odd bug to me because on the log in screen the camera works fine, but once logged in, it's either black or force closes.
You're probably already aware of this, but thanks anyways.
Using the Lollipop version, thanks for the great work. Trying it on my Toroplus.
BTW, Where can I report the bugs ? To try to help you
Testing new build (finally)
I have installed the new build of FML-AOSP-5.0 to test for toroplus daily use. I have a list of apps that are working and others that don't. I will try to update the list as I go along with the new builds and updates from the Play Store as they become more compatible with Android 5.

Thank you MWisBest and everyone who has made this possible!
I appear to be having issues with the latest beta/GPU drivers (obvious since its beta), but wanted to let those know here. Most apps work, however there are some that wont. The following apps appear to take issue:
Beautiful Widgets
Battle.net Mobile Authenticator
Dash
Gasbuddy
WOW Armory
Solid Explorer
They crash out on launch back to app tray saying that the Application has stopped. I tried clearing data/cache on those, but they unfortunately come back the same.
Great work on the Rom however. It is the most responsive one by far.
For this to be such an early build, this rom is really nice. My experience is about the same as everyone else's with reguards to some apps not working, but I have not had any real crashing issues as of yet. Great job Devs.....
Video playback
Any update on the video playback bug? I've tried multiple apps and none seem to work.

Well after a solid day of use, I am of the mind that I cannot say this is a good daily driver. I am going back to 4.4.4 of either FML or OMNI.
The Chrome bug really has it out for me. Nothing seems to work when getting online with Firefox/Chrome/Google Search...etc.
The video/sound streaming bug doesn't like me with Play Music/Play Movies/YouTube. Although Pandora/SoundCloud/Slacker Radio all work flawlessly.
Also, I noticed a considerable decrease in sound quality overall. It was as though my speaker had been muffled in some way.
When a new build appears, I shall update with my findings.
Thank you devs!!
One Bug and One Request
Thanks for making a smooth Lollipop rom! Thought this device was finally dead. I have one bug that I don't see in the thread, and one setting request.
My bug is that tapping on an album in Google Play Music will cause the app to crash.
My setting request is to be able to disable the battery status led. The bright yellow and green leds make using the device at night painful on the eyes.
Other than that I'm loving the rom so far outside of course no music and no data, but I can part for a bit to enjoy some sweet Material Design.
Keep up the good work!
Helping IP Addressing on Toroplus Gnex
I do know how to do everything but step 3 on your last post, but As for going into ADB and posting the IP Address from my phone, i have no clue, I have an active Toroplus Gnex and i am willing to help, i've got the concept of what you are saying in that last post, but i'm clarifying
If you find the IP Addressing on there, Do you want me to take a screenshot of the Terminal or am i missing something?
The reason this is in the Q&A is because i made an account just to help you do this. I really want this as a daily driver and the Data is the only thing holding this Lollipop Rom back from doing so. Please reply quickly.
I get no ip
i follow the steps but i no get any info
Just flashed the new Lollipop and still no data, nothing comes up under the ip adress. Calls and sms are still working.

The build released today? I have not tested it, but from the thread it seems like you need to manually input your APN data. Also, you may need a restart of your phone for it to work.

Data working on toroplus
I managed to get 3G working on my toroplus running lollipop.
Code:

^Z[2] + Stopped ping google.com
Saw the fix in the GSM version of the galaxy and tried it. So I did what they did copied the rild from /system/bin/ from a 4.4.4 rom and replaced it in the 11-16 FML lollipop build. 4G doesnt connect at all and MMS, both receiving & sending, makes it lose data all together and require a reboot to get it back. Hopefully this can solve our data problem and some one can come up with a fix for the camera
Flashed the 11/16 version of Lolipop onto my toroplus from cwm 6.0.4.3 philz. Had to OK past a bunch of google voice search errors at bootup (before entering wifi password and google account).
No data service, phone calls work, didn't test SMS. I have never gotten LTE service on any rom past factory stock, but since I'm on Ting I don't really miss it since I'm paying for the data I use. No IP address under phone status. I didn't get time to play around with APN's etc to see if I could get data working.
Had to restore back to CM 11.2 because I need my phone working. Will try again when there looks like a chance of data working more consistant.
i cant download it! HELP!
T.T
I need small help, I have followed below steps
Using TWRP
1. Flashed FML-AOSP-5.0-20141116-toroplus.zip
2. Flashed PA Gapps
and network and everything is fine. except data. so when I was trying to update (to replace) apns. I found that the device is not rooted...
is there any thing I am missing... Later I realized that I need flash first FML... when u say first one is it 'omni-4.4.4-20141015-toroplus-FML.zip" or "FML-AOSP-5.0-20141107-toroplus.zip".... Or anything else I need to do?
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.
