Yes, GTA 3 is available for Are Xperia Play, it seems it got added to the release list right at the last second, you can download is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3.
Edit - There has been a few cases that version 1.1 will not boot correctly on the Xperia play so if you have it on your play dont update till it gets fixed.
Answer to most question's
- Was it in the list release? - Yes, it was added day 1.
- Does it support Xperia Controls - Yes
- Any Control Problems - All controls work fine most of the time but some controls can be strange and hard to figure out. Hopefully an update fixes this.
- How does the Game Play - the game runs good at almost all times, from time to time i do see some random slow down but 95% time it's fine
- Issues and Bugs - Draw Radius can mess up, Random slow down time to time, Control issues & Crashing with v1.1.
Some of the reviews say it works with Xperia Play controls. Wonder if touchpads are included?
It won't let me download it on my CM7 Rom. Haha. Any way around this and force it?
I will download it and try it out
over 400mb.....
wow
It works and performance isn't bad. It does slow down here and there and overall frame rate seems about the same or maybe slightly better than the original PS2 version.
I haven't played it for very long though and haven't really stressed it out much.
All controls work including touchpads but they are not optimised. you can't auto aim or lock onto an enemy so shooting/hitting someone can be tricky.
Also, it seems to use less battery than FPSE and FIFA12.
Majority of the Controls arent working for me , I have an R800i, for some reason when I hop into a car its stuck on turning left, but walking and running is grand. Dpad works on the slide out controls , no analog functionality and the only action button that works is O and that just takes me to the menu.
Other than that though game loads and works fine, the touch screen controls all work.

Any reason why that should be? Looks like other Xperia owners are getting it just fine.

Custom ROM? I am on CM7, and it's not letting me download it.
I miss this game.. I'll wait for TLR's video..
downloading on r800i rooted stock rom ill give my feedback when its done.
Well, thx doom for powering my device up to 1.6 ghz. Now it goes flawlessy. Fairly bad that there is no TP support. Okay tbh the right does something: i guess it switches to first person. Awkward though.

Actually works on my Xperia play R800i, Pretty cool.
apparently is not available for South America because the market says it is not compatible with my device.
"This app is compatible with your Xperia Play."
There's some lag spikes, adn some of the controls are broken, can't use the slider(analog) thing, for example I can't look right or left inside the car. Sometimes it won't react to anything.
IT WORKS!! (r800x stock verizon rom)
The game doesn't show up in the launcher, but it does use Xperia Play's controls. D-pad for movement and steering, the left touchpad changes radio stations or weapons, right trigger is sprint our accelerate, left trigger is jump our brake, triangle is e-brake, circle is enter/exit vehicle. Swiping across the screen is needed for camera control, where as the right touchpad does nothing (as far as I know).
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way of reassigning the hardware button configurations at this time, but it's useable. I hope that gets patched along with the lack of inclusion in the Play launcher.
The game runs great, even on my stock Verizon kernal and rom! It runs with very little slow down, and doesn't impact the game whatsoever. I imagine an overclocked Play would be buttery smooth, but this doesn't affect my enjoyment at all.
Just finished playing a couple of missions and it runs well. Some of the creature features that you may be used to like changing to the radio station of choice maybe missing. The analogs do not work but all the other buttons do. I would love to see this with full Xperia support but still playable up to this point.
Edit: aaaaahhhh ****! Swipe the radio station to change it. Game FM is the business. Sean P!

Hey guys,
My gTab is only about 2months old and it's already behaving like old equipment. the boot time is more than a minute. Many applications take a good ten seconds to load. The new Google+ FCs each time I tap the message or places button. The Dolphin browser takes forever to load.
I'm running CM 7.0.3 with pershoot's .32 kernel to fix the WiFi issues. Any suggestions as to how I can get the lag out of this beast and whip it to shape?
Ginger behaves like this, especially cm7.
Do you have widgets running? I had a weather widget once that made my tablet run laggy. As soon as I took it off pow!!! Back to normal
Well, yes. I have WeatherBug running, along with a few others. Also, my Google+ repeatably crashes each time I try to tap on the pencil icon to enter a status message. Is this known? Also, does any1 recommend upping to the 7.1 CM?
I'm considering heading back to Froyo for full speed.

I just found that using my fake location make G+ work. It's a location issue.
As I mentioned before, I think going back to Froyo is the only way to get good performance. I just tried the Brilliant Corners Froyo-based rom. Since Vegantab 5.1.1 is pretty much done with (no one is supporting it or issuing updates), this seems the best option if I wanted something more mainstream with proper driver support.
I'll be honest, there's stuff I miss from CM7 (particularly the Gingerbread Bluetooth stack and flawless netflix), but as a whole the device seems much snappier.
It was a bit of a headache changing bootloaders to 1.2, but it looks like a lot of more interesting developments are happening on that side of the loaders now anyway.
Can you point me in the direction to get this new ROM? I'm not interested in BlueTooth or Netflix on the device.
Some 'construction-type' or resource gathering games are persistent after you exit them (Bug Village, Paradise Islang, Gangsta) so the game can can give you an update while you aren't playing. I've found that killing those apps really helps performance and doesn't affect game play when you launch again. I've also seen an increase after killing some weather apps, but others don't seem to affect performance at all.
I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!

Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update 31/08/2012: Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music/movie playback (free version) and more (paid version).
I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
Performance will vary depending on which sensor your phone uses. All HTC phones use the same slow one. Samsung uses about 3 different vendors and more models.. most are good, Sony is usually ok, Motorola is a mixed bag. I try to account for some of the differences in the sensors. But be aware you may have to wave at a different speed than in the youtube videos.
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Fast Forward, Rewind, and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)

Control music on your PC using foobar2000 controller Pro-- Now compatible with Wave Control

Not share why but when I try to go to the app in the market I get a force close of the market. It immediately closes once the install page comes up. I can go to any other app and open it to the install page and install the app.

Can you try install from a PC browser and see if it'll do the background install on the phone?

I am trying the free version for now. I really like the app so far. I do have one issue though and maybe the paid version fixes this. When I have it turned on but not in use per se, I start texting in landscape mode and it will toggle on/off the music constantly even when I am not planning on listening to music. I did look through the settings and only option I see that works is to have the app turned off while I am texting/or using the keyboard for anything like typing in this reply via xda app. Is it possible to implement a setting that IF the phone e is in landscape or IF the keyboard is in use that it overrides the app turn I g music on?
Again I am only using the free version right now for testing and will plan on using the paid app once I like the setup. Thanks and this is a great idea.

I've had a request over email from a user for a mode where it only works when the screen is off. I think this would help a lot of these type issues.
I'll see if I can detect whether the keyboard is active in another app or not. That's a great idea.
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh and which version of the Play Store are you running?

Hmm. That's the same version I have on my stock SGSIII.
I wonder if it's a Jelly Bean thing. Someone in the Galaxy Nexus thread had the same issue. I have no idea why it would be a Jelly Bean thing though.
I've been using this app since April and have a pro copy of it because I loved how original the app was and how well it worked. I find it useful when I'm driving to change my songs. Great to see this finally land on XDA.

Still doesn't work for me. I tried going to market and used the search bar for wave control. It finds it and I click on it and play store crashes. Again I went to other apps and can view them with no issues. I can update apps no issues. Next I wiped data for the play store, re-accepted once I reopened it, try to go to wave control and it still will force close.
I already have it from the browser version but wanted to test for you.

Damn. It was working on a friend of mine's Nexus w/ Jelly Bean where it had crashed before.
works great !!! Galaxy Note i717 running CM10 Paranoid hybrid!!! i will definitely use this when driving!!!!
Awesome, free version works as advertised on my RAZR MAXX running AOKP's ROM.
Don't get me wrong but apply for patent before thugs at apple copy it and claim it is there idea.
I remember when this first came out and was so impressed with the concept...and it really has a come a long way. :highfive:
This is one of the apps I repeatedly show off to others - oh and guess what, sir? I just got a Visa card and will be buying the Pro version because it's that awesome.
So essentially this post was just to say: you and this app are awesome, thanks for existing haha.
Google Now
delete please
mehhh...its alright I guess.
Great app
How about tasker integration? I would love to be able to activate/deactivate from within tasker. Another cool feature would be able to change the "key mapping" from within tasker. Say at some point I want 3 waves to turn on the screen, yet at sone other point it should simply do nothing.
I've just bought the pro version and like what I've seen so far

Well I'm tired it's really hard to send feedback in this forum... I know it might be a mess with all the newbies postin' everywhere, but maybe it wouldn't be so if we wouldn't have all this access limitations n' requirements to post, specially that stupid image verification, it's really annoying! so, if any moderator can post this in the appropiate place thnx, if not, well I don't care.
I tried this ROM ([ROM][Aug14 2012] Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6]) n' I found some issues:
1.- I use Go Launcher n' when I need to go to the device settings the device gets locked as if I've made a restart, so I have to draw my pattern, see weather animations n' that... it happened also workin' on another apps, not just the launcher.
2.- when I play Asphalt 6 the device can't play the intro video n' through the game I can see some guide lines from a corner touching the edges of the car n' behind it when I use the nitro, that game is great, so it's a shame to have that bug.
3.- sometimes appears another bug in the upper left corner the screen image gets cut n' slip down.
I appreciate the work of all developpers it's amazing to have a smooth rom but smoothness is just nice I think that you shall care about fix some apps compatibility too, after all that's the best part of the phone... n' I know there are thousands, but the most popular might be a good start.

I've downloaded the OBB file and the apk file for GTA Vice City. On TouchWiz ROMs (Synergy, Jelly Beans, etc.), Vice City works perfectly fine. However, I mainly use AOSP ROMs because of the speed and I want the newer android version. Vice City runs incredibly well on these ROMs, however, what happens in the game is that whenever I get inside the car, the screen freezes. My phone doesn't freeze, but what happens is the screen doesn't update. So I could still be driving, but it's stuck on the frame where I entered the car. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I love this game and combined with the cheats, I love doing crazy stuff. Any ideas? If there is no fix, then it is fine.

I can tell you its something to do with ASOP. ive tried diffrent roms and kernals and this happens. i can also tell you 3d mark also has issues on ASOP. i know something in the video drivers was updated on alot of kernals recently so maybe see if an older one works and maybe something can be pinpointed.

Can you post a screen shot of what it looks like running on the Play?
Of corse i can^^ But on which settings? On low high or medium?
I tested the game. I have an Xperia Play R800i with stock ROM, Gingerbread (?), no root, no overclock.
Game seems to run fine, at the beginning it defaults to 'High' settings.
It seems to be a first person shooter, but I really only tried the very beginning,just a few seconds to move my character (that is, a "pair of hands") around. The movement was kinda slow, but as I say it was just the start.
Shame it does not support hardware buttons, but maybe later?
As a side note, what kind of a stupid name is Dead Effect? Let's take two known franchises (Dead Space and Fear Effect) and mash them together, what do we get - a Dead Effect. LOL. But it might just be my impression, never mind that.
One more thing, there does not seem to be any other way how to exit the game, but only by pressing the HOME button on your device. Which, as far as I know, leaves the game running in the background. I hate when games do that.
