I've used Froyo on my old phone because it never got Gingerbread, my Play has 2.3.3 and I just realized that it doesn't do that cool CRT screen-off animation. As a matter of fact, it also didn't come with Sony's Xperia launcher, I know that you can download it from here, but it has a lot of bugs. Is that all on the 2.3.4 update that (hopefully) will be available on the Verizon Play? Did I miss something, or did the Xperia Play never come with what I was expecting from an Xperia phone?
Verizon ripped us off, we just have stock android. But you can download the Sony Ericsson launcher and other things from here.
Note: Some items require root. Not all.
...Why Verizon...? Okay, I guess that'll do, I also have root. Thanks.
EDIT: I thought the CRT Screen-off effect was integrated into the Gingerbread firmware, I wonder why it won't happen on the play, it has to be in the source somewhere if that's true. I have all animations set to on.

The CRT animation is supposed to be built into Gingerbread. They must have removed it somehow. Though, from 2.3.4 SonyEricsson has replaced the CRT animation with one of their own. The display kind of quickly fades out into black from corners to middle. Soft and sweet looking in my opinion. I have grown very tired of the CRT animation as of late so I was glad that SE had made something of their own.
Heh, I accidently thanked you for your post when quoting.

I find this very funny, Everyone complains about skins and crap on their android phone, look at motoblur, sense, touchwiz. Everyone wants pure vanilla android.
They give you pure vanilla android, you complain, you want the oem launcher.
This is pathetic and stupid.

Ya, and so are people who don't help the cause.
Anyway, is there a way we could get the cool animation?

There is a tutorial on it in the arc section, the animation is there, it has just been disabled in one of tge .xml files.

I found that and just tried it, it went great until every emulator went into a force close when I tried to change their settings, I also couldn't sync my google account, so I had to go back to my unmodified framework-res.apk.
I wonder if there's a way to replace the sony screen off animation with the crt version. I prefer the crt. I'd also be interested in the possibility of people creating custom screen on/off animations, since Sony was able to do it
Does it work with you?
I could open it, download game data but then it closes (no force close) every time I click on the app icon. Downloaded Chainfire 3D, installed it, but no luck.
I9000 + MIUI
Works for me pretty smoothly.
I really want to download this game but i want to know if the i9000 can handle it first =/.
If it doesn't work go into market and hit refund. I believe it gives you a full refund if you uninstall within 15 minutes of downloading.

Yeah thats true but the problem with big games like this is that if you have trouble downloading the additional files the 15 minute window can soon disapear.
They should have left the refund time at 1 hour. 15 minutes just isnt enough half of the time.
Of course it will run smoothly on Galaxy S... It's 1 thread optimized game and actually does not require dual core device.
pls post your kernel, rom or other requirments what we need to play.
thanks.

I9000? Which ROM?
I'm getting a bit closer now... I can now watch the two intros, but then it exits again.
Doesn't work for me (Cyanogenfortomorrow). Damn, i first bought it on Galaxy S, than i got my money back. Later i tried on galaxy nexus, where it isn't working either, and now i can't get back my money.
It's not working for me either (i'm on Darkys 10.2 EE),i'm now installing Chainfire 3d as you suggested
edit: doesnt work with chainfire3d either...
Lame!
I really wanted to download this game =[

How did you get it to work? Help us!
It almost works for me
It opens, and when I leave it, it shows the credits while music is playing. However, when I touch the screen, it turns black and nothing seems to happen anymore.
I am running Simplicity 2.1
edit: just got it as far as the homescreen, clicked start game, and now I have a black screen and nothing happens :-(
edit2: with chainfire3d it doesn't work either
Maybe he was telling porky pies
Has anyone on a stock rom tried running it?
Has anyone been on the android market on their PC and searched for this game?
Why is their like 5 different versions of it with like 1 pence difference

All different versions are for different regions, don't know why the small price difference exists, and I don't really care either..
Doesn't want taste the Ice Cream here. FC after clicking the game icon.

Jelly Bean Gnex Port
The Andromadus Team is working on Jb from source, best posible way to expirience jellybean as it should be, follow there progress/releases here
Here it is guys jb for our beloved g2, this rom is based on the gnex jellybean leak that we saw couple days ago, right now rom is as useless as the word could posibly describe it, the rom boots just fine, but it seems the launcher does not like being render in software mode so it crashes non stop, i tried other launcher they dotn seem to work ether, im just posting this so maybe someone else can help me, to ether get launcher working in software mode or getting egl acceleration working, for this will we mostlikely need a 3.0 kernel.
Again bare in mind this is pretty much useless, and its not much fun to use, untill we solv the launcher issue, dont expect this to be a daily driver any time soon
Working:
Touchscreen forgot to mention this
It renders and reaches lockscreen thats about it, im sure i can fix more, but theres no point if we cant get the launcher working.
Not working
mostly evrything

read description i did, it does not work, im guessing its jb was not meant to be used in software mode, thats why the launcher crashes.
I want to say that aside from the fact that it's on the DZ (which is a phone I own and use), the best thing about this thread are the advertisements on the bottom of the uploadhouse.com website.
:highfive:

That's not nice of you at all....
The thread proves that, unlike what a lot of people who knows little to nothing about programming say, JB can be ported to the G2 and it can boot.
First thing first. Stuffs come later.
@siulmagic: awesome at least it boots!
@siulmagic dont sell yourself short! It takes a lot to get something like this to boot! I am sure after a while someone will get something else to work. Like taz , he is a great porter!
lol i did not see those ads on the website, will upload somewere else, my bad haha.
I knew it was only a matter of time, n they said this wasn't possible? Sure there's issues and bugs but its still in the alpha stage.

yes. I just used it and was able to turn the phone on/off, pull the notification bar down, turn off/on the screen, and get to the recent apps screen. That is just about it. I didnt get any type of signal or data. and wasnt able to get to the settings from the statusbar.
Amazing !! Thanks !!
I download now !

I said "ASIDE FROM THE FACT". you misinterpreted.
I would have thought JB would have taken another year for anything to be on Desire Z.
I'm just learning these past 3 years and by no means unfamiliar with personal ports from other devices but took a look at doing something similar for my device for personal use and was humbled very quickly. It's the accomplishing of seemingly impossible tasks large well funded corporations don't bother tackling by one user who solves it on their free time that make me truly love open technology. Kudos. Keep it Up. Many Thanks!

It's an ICS Rom, and an earlier one at that. Not sure when nit was last updated, but embedded videos were, or maybe still are an issues on ICS ROMs, if I remember correctly.
There's probably a fix by now, or a work-around.
Hopefully someone will pop in and hook you up
I will like to know also. That's why I'm stil on cm7. THERE IS NO OTHER ROM WORKING 100% than. Cm7

Well the only thing I can think of is by flashing a Jellybean version of Paranoid Android. Then use the Hybrid engine to change it to the Tablet ui to get the same thing you see in that picture. See this post. But for KitKat the Tablet ui was killed off and there is no way to activate it, hence no hybrid engine in the new KitKat PA. I don't believe there is any way to do this in KitKat right now, probably ever. Hope this helps.
