Hi guys, I just bought this new tablet from Google. So far so good, I've registered my Google Play account and found out the tablet recognizes all my games that I installed on Xperia Play. That's great. But why cannot I install some of those game on the tablet? I've already paid for them so would like to play them on a different device, that's all.
Some of the games that seem to be incompatible: Dead Trigger, Heroes Call, Offworld, Six-Guns...
I'd appreciate your advice, and sorry for a newbish question. It's my first Android tablet ever.
TIA.
Some "older" games may not work in ICS or JB and it won't be possible to play them in your Nexus 7. And also some new games may be optimized for new hardware and won't run in a XP. All in all, there's no general rule for this issue.
By the way, Dead Trigger runs fine in XP with both GB and ICS and also it's optimized for Tegra 3. I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. Maybe it's an issue with JB and in that case I'm sure it will be fixed soon because is a quite new game and Madfinger Games is continously supporting it.
Thanks for the response. I believe this is more a Nexus 7 than Xperia Play problem, but I'll hazard another question..
I've installed the Tegra Zone app and tried to install some games from there (Dead Trigger, Heroes Call).
What happens when I click "install" though, is that the app throws me back to the Google Play Store, which again says "This app is incompatible with your device".
WTF?
It's odd, a brand-new Nexus 7 and I can't install Tegra-optimised apps.
EDIT:
Also one more important thing:
Could I somehow copy my save games from Xperia to Nexus 7 without rooting? I'd like to continue some games there, not to start from the beginning.
I can see some games' files on Xperia on my PC, but the Nexus does not seem to display them in the USB disk mode...

You cannot send apk files vi Bluetooth. You can rename the file to something else, like .dat or .zip, send it to bluetooth, then rename it back to .apk

That is odd, i remember i have to rename the .apk file to send the file to an officemate (He is using an Atrix, stock rom; i use stock rom too). Anyway, if the op cannot send via bluetooth then try to use samba or something.

Hello Note 8 users,
As a favor to a friend of mine, I made a MODE switcher app that allows the user to switch between the default PHABLET interface and the alternative TABLET interface. This app also allows the user to switch between an alternative Multiwindow mode as shown on the pictures below.
Requires: a rooted note 8 tablet with busybox installed (works for both odex and deodex).
1. For safety, make a backup.
2. Ensure you have busybox installed. If not, install busybox installer from the Play Store and use it to install busybox.
3. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW, etc. just in case TW Launcher crashes when switching from one mode to another.
4. Download the app below and install. Launch and enjoy. Make sure you grant it root permission when asked.
DOWNLOAD
5. A THANKS would be nice or you could buy me a COFFEE.
NOTE: For those having issue with Play Store in tablet mode, the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store from the following THREAD.
CAUTION: Use this app at your own risk. I am not liable for any damage or loss due to use of this app.

Thank you so much - tablet mode great to switch to when using BT keyboard and mouse!
Thanks a lot for the app.
I am a rookie here and have a issue with this app.
My device is rooted and installed BusyBox pro for the first time.
Then, installed this app.
The mode switch works great, but Multiwindow Mode doesnt work.
it says "ERROR: Missing permission file."
Could someone tell me what I have done incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.

(app, build.prop and play store compatibility question deleted - but I don't think it's relevant any longer. Restored build.prop, reinstalled this app, now have no issues with play store visibility. However, it is useful to remember that play store can be impacted by build.prop issues - if you do see a visibility issue, a restore can be helpful.)
@chipwizz & @ianbbaa - glad to see you roaming around this thread. Did you guys bought a note 8 and leave me behind in the note 1 forum? I'll be with the note 1 for a longer time I suppose as I can't afford any new device at the moment.

Make sure you have "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in /system/etc/permissions folder. That is the missing permission file.
This is a very cool app - but does it modify the build.prop file?
I ask because around the time I installed it, my build.prop file was changed (of course, I was making many changes at the time ) and this morning I noticed a ton of stuff in the Play store said I was not compatible. When I noticed the delta time on the build.prop I restored from a backup and now have normal play store visibility.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it changes one build.prop entry (ro.sf.lcd_density=177) to achieve tablet interface. Play Store may be an issue for some but the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store which you can download from HERE.
What was surprising to me was that after I reverted back to 'phablet mode' I was seeing GPS not loving me.
But this morning I reinstalled after redoing the build.prop and for now, at least, Play is working fine.
Thanks for the link to the play store that ought to hold up if I go back.
Samsung's done some weird stuff with their hardware buttons -- both Button Savior and the back button on the tablet style interface tend not to work very well or often when you try to "back" with them. I'd hoped to be able to disable those hardware buttons by being in tablet mode, but not yet.
I grabbed the key test app a bit back and the hardware and the soft keys do send the same codes, so Samsung must have written something in that grabs inputs on those lines and prioritizes it.
It 's reboot when calling or receiving call.
How to solve this?

Don't worry brother. I still remember the days I was saving for note1, will not be moving so early.
Real action started after you and ianbbaa displayed some magic of tablet and multi window. It is interesting stuff you created in terms of switching mode. So happened to checkout in the interest of note1 replication.

Can you use call function without problem?
So I downloaded this morning and doesn't seem to be working. I know I am probably missing doing something simple but here is some background. Rooted with busy box, framaroot I , model 5110, I also have multi window manager already on here could that be the problem. when I go into the app and hit multi window mode it states need to reboot so I do than after it reboots nothing it is back to the normal mode. I am trying to get the cascading window mode. Any help would be appreciated.
Call off the hounds. after a few additional reboots. it seems to have decided to work. I will report back if i have any other unnecessary requests to make.. Thanks
Here, I've coded this in a weekend when I ran out of ideas for my other project, and just wanted to share it with you
What it is?
XPlayR is a remote bluetooth gamepad (no analogs for now!) implementation to be used with the XPERIA Play.
It implements an InputMethodService in the server side to send key events to the controlled application.
As there are no non-rooted way to inject touch events into the UI, i'm not bothering to implement remote touch events (i.e. On-screen controls only games, like games that doesn't fully rely on key events). If anyone knows how to do it, then tell me!
Actually it's designed to support up to 4 clients (a.k.a. 'Controllers') via button mapping at server side (only 3 possible mappings are implemented), tested it with 2 controllers at a time, but don't know what would happen if more than 2 clients are connected, as I saw some lag because it uses bluetooth, there are some keycodes that are available only after SDK 11 (min version is 10) and maybe the device could handle only a number of key events at a time.
Installation
Install the client on the XPlay's that you would like to use as gamepads.
In the server (tablet or somethig like that), you must enable and change the input method to that of 'XPlayR Remote Pad'
Remember to change this setting back after you finish gaming because it doesn't handle text edition for now!
How to use it?
First, you must pair the clients with the server, using the device's own method to do so (i.e. Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Pair device...)
Then in the client, open the menu, and select 'refresh devices', touch the server name, and then wait for it to connect.
Remember, the fastest to connect gets controller 1!
You'll know what controller you got looking at the LEDs on the bottom of the screen.
I could've made this a paid software, but I'm too lazy to do so...
Also, I like to return something to the community because what I get from it (ROMS, KB, and so on) is far expensive than what I'm giving.
Tested it with RetroArch, DraStic, PPSSPP and Mupen64Plus AE on a Galaxy S4 i9500
Server and Client attached.
So, hope you like it

I installed both server and client in a xperia play, xperia mini, and a galaxy S4, ranging from GB up to JB. they ran fine, just some random FCs when BT was off. I need logs to search for possible bugs in other roms.
Retroarch was hard to configure because it has a somewhat complex input config, it's not very user-friendly atm
Some other emus like the *oid series doesn't correctly catch key events sent from the server, at least on my setup.

Hey guys!
I recently got a Gamestick. I already tried a lot of things to get under the hood, I am unsuccessful so far.
I have discovered the Gamestick has an open port, number 7002. It appears to be an adb bridge, as typing:
Code:
adb connect <gamestick_ip>:7002
on my PC yields a succesful connection, however, "adb devices" then says that the device is offline.
Has anyone with a bit more know-how (and a Gamestick) tried this? This device looks really useful, but it's locked down and very limited in what it can do right now. I want to try running my apps on it, but it's locked down.

Hi guys I bought one of those game stick and the first day I converted it to developer stick from game stick website and by doing that it gave me access to everything you need to install apps I installed amazon app store aptoid Google play services gmail and couple of games like dead trigger riptide 2 sonic and worked perfectly with the controller the only thing am stuck with is play store I installed most of the apps needed for the play store to run but it only open register my Google account show me apps and games than switch off if someone know a fix to that please let me know the stick is already rooted just installed SuperSU and root browser to access and copy apps to system/app folder
any luck?
Sorry for re-opening an old topic but can somebody please repost the guide to side loading here? seems like it is deleted from gamestickers.net
I recently created a small custom ROM (more like a conversion) if you don't care about the Gamestick store (like me) and you want a open android stick that still works with the game pad, let me know and I can upload the ROM somewhere after I finish some details just make sure you understand that you won't be able to access the GameStick store at all, in fact your stick will no longer be a Gamestick, and well you might brick it, and all those disclaimers, blah blah blah
you can always go back to the original ROM
