Hi,
Someone know where all useless pre-installed garbage games and apps are located on the phone when hard resetting or getting the phone new?
Just want to get rid of pre-installed Facebook and some Mickey Mouse magic kingdoms games

The Play store versions of EA games like Dead Space do not support the Xperia PLAY controls, so I purchased them from the Xperia PLAY's built-in shop for EA titles. Now I'd like to transfer them to my Galaxy Note 3.
I own Titanium Backup and I have rooted both but EA has some check that makes sure that the games are running on the same phone. This caused issues when I first RMA'd the phone back in 2011 and some of my purchases still refuse to work on the Xperia PLAY. For the ones that do still work, how can I transfer them?
I've google and all I can find is references to EA's old free games promo for Xperia PLAY.
I see an "Android ID" backup and restore function in Titanium Backup. Will this back up whatever uniquely identified my phone to EA or is it something else? Will my phone incorrectly identify itself to the Play store as an Xperia PLAY? Something tells me that this function is only for the Play Store's send to device function.
There were a lot of other built-in games that I'd like to transfer but I don't think those were ever meant to be treated as transferable property.

OK, I found that some of these, like Tetris, simply do not work unless converted to a user app. Others cause TB to hang when I attempt to convert to a user app. Because TB doesn't have the option to convert to User app while restoring, I have to convert on the original phone and make the backup again just to see if that works.
It's kind of disappointing to see this oversight. I mean, if this were a replacement phone after losing or breaking my old phone, what good would my backup have done?!
Anyway, I backed up Tetris from an International/Generic Xperia PLAY ROM (wasn't on original AT&T ROM). It works but it crashes on exit (perhaps it tries to call Timescape specifically or some Gingerbread function that doesn't exist). The Bruce Lee game launches but doesn't scale to fill the screen and doesn't support touch screen controls (can't get past download prompt). I don't think the PSX emulator would work or else PSXperia would be on other platforms, so I didn't even bother with that. As expected, the EA games don't work ("New phone detected") but I haven't experimented with the Android ID thing yet.

Hi all,
i would like to know if anyone has been able to display the side loaded apps under amazon apps locate on main pages between Freetime, Apps and Music.
I have searched all over the web but didnt see anything except this one youtube video where this user has it, not sure how he did it but he did it, watch the clip first 35 sec and you will see it. According to me all you do is add about dozen apps and they will show up under Apps section, it didn't work for me.

It would be awesome someone could provide a solution.
Thank you
For some reason, sideloaded apps just doesn't work. Best alternative to having to go to Settings/Apps to launch your side loaded apps is to install a 3rd party launcher like FiredTV. Works well enough on my AFS.

Install original amazon app it will show all your apps.. But what I can't figure out is original apps on fire tv like showtime won't work

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea I loved this method till I realized it removes most of the functionality of the stock amazon apps. You can still access them but you have to go through the app menu and they must be loaded on there now.
soo ive been crying since day one when i found out i couldnt play NOVA 3 on my newly bought shield, i thought about using a custom firmware but didnt want to lose functionality, i ended up adapting my 4tb hdd as internal memory so once i did that for me there was no goong back lol, so ive been trying to find a way to map controls and thought of everything and nothing seemed to work. sixaxis controller app didnt work when i tried a few times a year back but there has since been an update and now i can map the touch controls for nova and play perfectly so im guessing that opens up a lot more apps and games that require touch we couldnt use before but prob can now. For me this is the best early christmas present i could have asked for. Thought id let you lot know just in case ya didnt.
if you play Modern Combat 5, NOVA 3 or are generally into android online gaming, anything to do with Nvidia Shield, Kodi or Plex - join us https://discord.gg/XsMz44k http://droidshield.boards.net
I use Zulu full Android with game controller2touch it does wonders
Also I noticed we have good fps' for android and most of these games have no chat support which is odd. I play modern combat 5 a lot and have now made a server where we can use any windows, android or iOS device to use voice chat while in game. so download 'discord' free from play store, app store, website etc and join us here.

Hi! Just bought this phone because it's just too cheap and has decent specs. Actually, bought 2 of them, they were about 70$ each, with some 15$ extra headphones bonus
Phone came with Fire OS 4.6.3. Managed to install Google services and store, Google now launcher and make default with Home Switcher(listed as "incompatible" in Play store, had to sideload it...many other apps are "incompatible"). That was problem number one...
After that, installed Youtube app, which works, but 360p only and no cardboard option(360 vr videos). Installed iYTBP(modded youtube app) and videos work at higher resolution(720p default) but still no VR. Also default app player doesn't work well.
Installed Facebook and seemed ok, but videos open in browser and don't autoplay in app. I understand whatsupp has problems playing videos...
All these seem to happen because phone is not really known to the apps and they run in "simple" mode.
Is there any way to make apps think it is another phone that they "know" has enough hardware to run them fully? Because it really has...the soc is still strong enough and gyro is there. I will try my best to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons(2 years...)
Stumbled across some post where someone said you have to modify build.prop, I think, but can't find it anywhere. Of course, I would need to root it first...
Any more tips welcome, this is best buy for 70$ + bonus and it's really selling well around Romania right now, it seems.
As a side note, battery life seems ok, I got around 5h SOT without sim first day of use, gestures and sensors enabled and Google launcher.
For those other newbs, this site is useful to a point: http://spinyourfire.com/. Home switcher app is attached here, as it does not show up in Google play for this phone.
Google now works fine for me, including wallpapers and widgets and seems to have full functionality.
Thanks!
Hi guys
Any chance someone had similar issues, please assist.
This tv is really great and smart, screen is amazing, has guest/professional modes, loads of settings and cloning options, networking access and etc. But...
As a simple and single user now, I want to have play store, or any other way to install some certain apps. (I.e. Netflix, plex, IPTV)
This model has some preinstalled apps (i.e. YouTube news, weather, but no market/play store and settings letting to install from usb.
I can't even tell android version. Seems like GB?!
Where do I start?
Thx
Hi,
Was wondering if there is any help with the above question as I also have the same issue? Thank you for any help/assistance
