Hello Everyone.
I have just purchased a Sony Experia play for my sons Christmas present.
All I know is it is unlocked to any network and this is purchased from the UK.
What if anything are the 1st steps to enable emulation rom loading etc. on this phone. ??
I can`t find any tutorials on the 1st steps to take. Out of the box (Not even sure there are any)
Or is the phone good to go ….as it is with loading rom emulation etc.
There is no FAQ on this subject at all, and if there is?? I can`t find them.
Basically I would like my son to be able to acquire all the Good Stuff that this phone is capable of getting. E.g.: loading Roms. Iso, game files, emulation etc. etc. (like the psp, if this is even possible?)
Thank you for your time and any help.
Basically, you just have to install the emulator apps, load some roms into the sd card, do some quick configurations, and it's ready to go.
Gameboid, snesoid, n64oid, fpse are the most popular ones. You'll have to map the buttons to the gamepad first though. GBA emulators require a gba bios file. Finding one for the emulator using google shouldn't be too difficult.
Google keeps removing emulators from the market, but you can get the "oid" ones from slideme. There's an app called "emulator roms plus" that will help you find emulators, roms, and it can also install a gba bios. Personally I use tiger gba, tiger snes and tiger genesis (by Tiger King) instead of the "oid" versions.
You can either download the apps with your computer, load them onto your sd, then install, or use the phone's internet browser and download directly from there.

Hello Thank you Sir for your input..
Dam after reading numerous threads on rooting and bootloader unlocking I was under the impression ,that I had to do some major flashing to enable some sort of custom FW to get this Beast to run all the good stuff.
Real glad that this is not the case.

No, most of the good stuff is available out of the box. You only need to root/unlock if you want to do technical things like overclock, edit system files, and install custom roms/kernels.

The plays dual channel DDR2 ram means it can pretty much handle anything you can throw at it straight out of the box.
Bootloader unlocking/rooting ect is more for people that like to mod the phone and for flashing custom roms ect

Flashing custom roms is legal, though you have to unlock your bootloader to do so and that might void your warranty as SE put's it. So if you mean by 'not legal' is the same as voiding your warranty, then yes.
As said in this thread it do most things out of the box and pretty good i might ad

Thanks Guy`s you have made it almost crystal for me now with the experia play options.
Really appreciate all your help and advice.
Thank You.
On an added note any general computer experience with emulators or file browsing and opening will help you work this emulator app's pretty fine
fpse and gameboid will need bios files if you need a hand finding them just reply here i'm sure more than enough people will help you
also in fpse once you have loaded the bios save the settings so as you don't have to load the bios everytime you open the emulator app.
other information including compatability with the emulator is over in the themes and apps thread!
Your son is going to love this phone, it's so pro!

Custom roms are custom software for your device, most custom roms are based on the offical sony software. But some like CM7 are built from source (AOSP).

"custom roms" when talking about bootloaders and such = custom Android installation
"roms" when talking about emulators = the games themselves
A lot of newbies seem to get confused by these terms being used in more than one context within a single thread.

Afaik it's not legal to share the bios file's, you'll have to google them yourself, but is easily found when doing so and wich ones to use for best results
Ohh and it's not allowed on xda to share, link or discuss warez and such

I got my Note 2 about a month ago and could not be happier with it. I am an iPhone convert.
The phone is not rooted.
The model of the phone is a Note 2 internationally unlocked from factory phone.
When I got it, it had installed 4.1.1. Then it updated to 4.1.2 – where it remains today.
I have a US credit card and address.There's been no problem purchasing apps from the play store for quite sometime.
Then I found an app that I wanted to purchase the pro version as an in app purchase. Google canceled the order and refunded the credit that I had purchased.
Further, Google blocked any additional purchases even from the browser of my computer (using a proxy).Right now, I'm waiting 24 more hours as when I put in a service ticket, they said wait 48 hours and try to purchase again and if there was a problem they would try to help me.
The problem seems to be with the in app purchase more than anything.
To be able to make this and other in app purchases easier, I would be willing to root my phone if there is a safe way of doing it.
Has anyone figured out how to do an in app purchase with a Note 2? Will rooting the phone give me this ability?
Sure would appreciate any help along these lines.
PS I even wrote to the developer asking if I can send the money directly for the pro version via Paypal or if they could let me buy it in some other way. They wrote back a rather short letter that that was the only way I could do it. I tried one more time to write to them, and they just ignored me. I'd like to give them money and I'd like to have the pro version of their program.
You may want to try market access app, (google market access apk) and spoof a US carrier. You will need root for that.

Thank you.
I looked on the Play Store and do not find market access (apk) or anything similar.
Can you tell me where I might find that?
Is Market Access how you spoof a US carrier or is that something else too I need to do?
Also, I am on a Mac, not a PC. I don't find instructions on rooting using a mac. Everything refers to a pc. Any ideas on that?
Sorry for these questions - even to me they sound very noobish. I working to come up to speed on all this as quickly as I can.

You won't need MAC to do it. Just download it using your phone and install the app.
If I'm understanding correctly, the API's need root access to work.
My device is not rooted yet. And I have a Mac. How do I root my device using a Mac instead of a PC. All directions about rooting my device talk about opening a. exe file on a PC.

Worked like a charm. Rooted and able to purchase at will from the play store.
Thank you for your help.
That will be my main goal after hotspot. Next Question is... will the Z3 controller attaching jig work with N4. That would be Awesome.
http://www.themobimag.com/tag/ps4-remote-play-mod/
Couldnt read that last article. Popup sucks. Found my answer here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/4-4-4-stock-xperia-devices-ps4-remote-t2868092
Jig is my question now.
no idea, but you can always try it. There is a thread with the APK and instructions on how to try it out. Personally, it wasn't a must have for me. But could be an interesting tinker toy project for a weekend.
Old thread, but I went over to the PS4 Remote Play thread and used the most-thanked method, and now I have remote play on my Note 4! Only problems are that after each reboot I have to reinstall the remote play app (which is not a big deal), and the controller doesnt work. But thats for all non-Z3 phones. Other than that it works perfectly.
I just bought a one time subscription to try out OnTapp, since I found the UI to be nice and clean and my parents will understand how to use it, but I can't get anything to actually play. I understand that OnTapp is simply a TV Guide that links to addons, but which one's will work? I don't mind paying for it either. I've been googling for the past 2 days without success and would greatly appreciate it if anyone knew how to get OnTapp to work or if you know any paid .m3u servers for the Kodi's iptv, that would be great as well. Also, are there any specific Kodi websites that might have guides/forums/support for the FireTv?
Thanks in advance!
I tried searching the forum and Google, can't find an answer. I am trying to be able to remotely provide tech support to Fire Tv's/Sticks, anybody knows how? I tried Teamviewer Quicksupport but wasn't able to remote in like on computers. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you are rooted, Teamviewer Quicksupport works well. When you are rooted and a remote access is requested, you will be asked to grant root access once so the remote view can work. I use it all the time for my parent's firetv overseas and am glad they are rooted.
I also tried contacting Teamviewer on this and their response was around Amazon will not approve their app for remote.
For my parent's firetv, it wasn't rooted, so I sold it on ebay and repurchased another one which could be rooted. Total net loss was about $25.

This seems really useful. I'm rooted but had some trouble connecting last night. Is it a paid app? I saw there was a full version but what does the free version get?
I already have a few ways to connect remotely to my computers so this would primarily be for my aftvs. Might come in handy if I'm at work and my wife has problems with it (which happens often)

I don't know about the paid version or the free version. I have a version of apk at home which I can send to you if you like. Just install that and you will have full remote capability. I didn't know there was a paid version of quicksupport. I have most of the needed apk's and have a batch file which installs all of them for a new firetv that I build for friends and family.

Yes please. That'd be great! Maybe I got it wrong. A quick search brought me to the site and it does say full version but it says free as well. And there's a number for sales and one for tech support? Never seen that but haven't looked to deeply. Could be like an open source type deal which is donation optional for personal use but you need a license for business. Anyways, yes I'd like to try your apk when you have time. Thanks!

this is the one I have. Try this:

Thanks! Oh yeah, I can definetly manage the apk install lol. I think I just got a little confused with the setup. When I installed it the other nite it asked for a remote but then the only other thing I found was quicksupport (which I assumed you'd install on your android phone/tablet). That combined with the fact I thought it might be a paid app just made me think your apk was different. But I'll get it working.
I'm really surprised this is a free service. I use to have a similar app for Mac which was free app a few years back then they started charging. I actually don't even bother telling my parents about kodi because if it has issues they won't be able to fix it, but if I can do that remotely it changes things. I appreciate the time. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Not a problem. Let me know how it works for you. You need root to enable screen sharing and the first time you request remote access supersu will prompt for root access confirmation. Teamviewer is free for personal and household use and no adds. It's really good.
Good luck

I haven't had loads of time to figure this out but might know why I'm struggling. Can teamviwer not remotely connect from android to aftv? I've been trying to do it with my phone and then my tablet but do you need to use a PC or Mac as your remote?
That's the only reason I can think as to why I can't get it to work. But for me, it'd be a lot more convenient if I could use my phone/tablet since those are the devices I always have on hand or very close by.

I've been having issues with quick support only allowing screen sharing. I have a rooted fire tv 2 and a rooted Fire tv stick 4k and i'm running the same file you linked to
on the google play store. It never asked me to grant root permission like other apps have.
In the advanced setting of quick support there used to be an option to "Install Additional Add-Ons " but now that is always grayed out. So the only other thing i can
come up with is to find the Addon's or through adb manually allow root access to the quick support.apk.
It's doesn't make sense. this used to work on rooted Fire Tv's but not any longer. You post is now 5 years old and i'm wondering if your having the same issues i am.
