The Xperia Play dedicated game launcher seems to be pretty much like the music player. It reads certain metadata (the famous "xperiaplay_optimized" label, the names of the games and its creators) and it reads the cover art (the game's icon). In landscape mode you have the "cover art" displayed prominently, and in portrait mode you have a list, with the "cover art" reduced to fit said list of items. That, plus the "toggle when sliding open" element, makes the dedicated launcher app, in a nutshell. What do you think could be added to the app?
I'd like to be able to sort my games somehow. Maybe by the number of times the app has been run? By creator?

We all know everyone dreams of a supported Gingerbread or Honeycomb setup. What expectations do people have for tablets? There are many possibilities for these things. If you could design you own OS or launcher replacement what would it look like? For me I would really like to see a nice selection of themed home screens. A home page, sports page, a movie page, a music page, a games page. Id like to have an all sports page that had all sports tabbed at the top like most sports web sites. Then some scrolling sports scores. Then some sports news below that. Also be able to click on a game and get a nice run down of the game like when you view a game on nfl.com or yahoo's site. I know there are a lot of world news and rss feed widgets and apps but i would also like to see something more streamlined. I would really like to be able to scroll through my media better. Movies with their IMDB image and description would be amazing. Also to be able to scroll through my music with the album art and a nice description too. And I would also like to be able to have something that managed emulator roms. It would be nice if the roms had a cover image and description too. Then if you click to play that rom it would open the correct emulator for it. Remember, this is just what I dream of, what I wish my GTab could be. What are your wishes or dreams for your GTab? Please share.
I wish...
I wish that my little Gtab would bring world peace!
Did this just turn into the Miss America pageant?
If one expects electronic devices to be like dreams expect them to be shattered because before you know it "the next best thing" is always around the corner. That being said I would like android to be more like windows os in terms of having a wider compatibility range (i.e. audio video support, driver support etc. etc.) I don't expect much out of these devices except to perform well & consistently. The customization part is just fluff but does add to the visual appeal.
This is something IMHO where the iPad shines, not very many bells & whistles but works great out the box.
I downloaded/purchased the Need for Speed - Shift game and installed.
But thing is, its not showing in the Xperia Play Launcher along with the Bruce Lee, FiFa10 games.
Its in my usual menu and it plays alright but just not accessible via Xperia Play.
Strange?
No, I've the same problem and unpack the apk for the launcher is not possible :-(

I think its probably not optimized for Xperia Play? Cos when I download and installed "optimized" games, it does show on the launcher.
Hi, I haved the same problem, but the solution was upgrade xperia play interface and now, show me all games...
I've updated my Xperia Play too, but the game still doesn't show alongside Bruce Lee, Fifa10, Sims etc.
Strange

although some EA games work with the H/W buttons, they do not carry the experia play optimised tag, so will not show in the play launcher

I want to make a Mario 64 karaoke app where you play along with all Mario 64 songs. Heres the kicker, all art within app is made by me, hand drawn. and the music is fan made karaoke music being used with permission. will this app get suspended from Google Play? it contains no copyrighted content right? the karaoke songs aren't even accurate to the true in game songs of Mario 64. so some beats aren't even in there. i hand drew the mario 64 logo...its black and white and in pencil sketch. i was gonna color it but i figured it would then resemble the original logo too much. anyways, just wanna know if im safe or should i not do this? oh and am i allowed to call it "MusicBOP! Mario 64 Edition"????

so you mean to say that you have everything made by you.. just the logo is matching (a bit- right? ) well if it's a new concept.. change the name and logo a bit.. and you are good to go!!

Yes, all art and logos created by me. the music is all "karaoke" music of the popular mario 64 songs. so when you fire my app up, you see mario...drawn by me...you see mario 64 logo, pencil sketched by me, you play level and its in a GUITAR HERO fasion, and the famous music from mario 64 game starts playing. however, it isnt music FROM the game, its karaoke copy cats.
If your using 100 user created content then legally speaking you "should" be fine fair use allows for satire parody and the likes. But fair use gets scoffed at constantly and ignored by big companys. Nintendo has a nasty track record of doing this. So while "techniclly" you are fine if nintendo wanted to c&d you they could. Personally I would just not bother with Nintendo parody unless you are ready to deal with possible BS.

Would it be better to just rename the whole thing? Super Blario Hero? lmao. Still use the mario songs that are karaoke versions but put no image of a fake mario, just a logo saying whatever i come up with...MusicBOP! Blario Brothers lol
EDIT: I was planning on using the mario franchise to get people to download. Perhaps i should just start from scratch and use purely my own stuff. I have a friend who raps, hes actually good. he makes his own beats in frooty loops and all. he has his music free on many mp3 sites. i spoke with him about adding his music into a game thats guitar hero like. he loved the idea. will be free with admob ads. but because hes not known would anyone really download it? versus playing mario songs....
I dont know

that flappy bird game looks like mario world lol
but i would think nintendo would be able to stop people from copying their intellectual property and profiting off of it.
sounds like a rad game though!
Well, before i could even start this project Google terminated my entire account....I had one app suspended due to copyright image, so i edited it and removed all images to comply and re uploaded new package name etc. BAM....banned. i think their automated process thought i was re-uploading a banned app. i have appealed it...dunno if it will work.
As of now, i am trying to jump over to Amazon Store and the Samsung Store. That and im torrenting my apps. my apps are free with admob ads so it doesn't matter where people DL em. however, i have been reading that once Google suspends your account they eventually shut down admob account too...
I wonder, IF Google refuses to reinstate my account, why couldn't i just sign up for a new one using my wife's info? Use her bank account, her social etc etc. just upload NEW apps non related to my old ones...? Would this work or would they detect my ip address. and if they will detect my ip, can i not just cancel my internet and have it turned back on to get a completely NEW ip?
Hi everyone.
Seems like the forum for the Z4 tablet are a bit slow and not that popular, hopefully it will change in the near future
I thought we could start a "top apps" thread where you list the top applications you use on your tablet to share it with others.
The apps I use the most is:
Plex: Client app to the Plex Server running on my computer for all my streaming needs.
TED: Look and listen to lectures and conferences.
Amazon Kindle: Well, for all those e-books.
Perfect Viewer: For all your comic needs.
Heavens-Above: Great app for stargazing.
What do you do on your tablet?
Cheers
Good idea!
I'll just copy one of yours: Kindle- most convenient eBook reader out there.
Reddit Sync- for all that Redditing goodness in a beautiful tablet format
MX Player- I heard VLC was good, but MX Player has run fine for years. Perfect for watching movies or anything.
Netflix
MightyText- for when you can't put down your tablet but need to text!
Flight Control- oldie but a goldie
Top Apps:
- FloatingApps (For multiwindow since my machine isn't rooted)
- Whatsapp (LTE Version)
- Cloud Magic (Email)
- Vain Glory (MOBA game)
-Flight radar 24 (Flight tracker)
- Office Suite
- Icon Changer
- SplashTop HD
GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode (get rid of the pesky, screen real estate consuming softkeys)
All in one Gestures (use gestures / hardware buttons for navigation)
Nova Launcher Prime (best launcher)
Helium - App Sync and Backup (no-root backup solution)
Hacker's Keyboard (suits me best on a tablet)
Roundme (great 360 degrees panoramas)

Oh this is lovely! Thanks so much for sharing this
So I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on how to add games and apps. not shown to the game enhancer. Not every app is able to be under it and I'm not sure of the restrictions.
It seems to function similar to the Samsung game tools app. Which on my s9 I had to keep below a certain version in order to keep certain apps added.
Is there an older version of this app. Or a way to edit it to get non supported apps on it

HAve u found out how to add any app to the game enhancer????
I would also like to know how the game amp app works???? Just as far as I know, it only works on single-player games with a storyline. If you play competitive games, then this is equivalent to a cheat. I've been playing LOL for a long time now, and I couldn't develop in this game in any way. So I decided to start playing against more vigorous opponents at higher ranks. Then I bought a highly rated account here https://www.lolfinity.com/ . After two months, I noticed how I began to play better for a higher-level game. Now I have my own team, and we sometimes perform in tournaments.
