Hello everyone. This thread is directed towards those who are good with taking apart the play and putting it back together and replacing parts. But anyone may comment their opinion.
First off where is the ram for the play stored in the hardware? By this i mean where is it located?
Can it be replaced with a larger ram storage disk or whatever its called to give the play more ram?
These are questions but im just using them to start the discussion so thats why i put it in general section.
Please leave your opinions and tell if this is possible.
WOULDNT IT BE AWESOME IF WE COULD INCREASE THE RAM SIZE? THE PLAY WOULD BE REBORN!
This was just a thought and i have no idea if its possible because im a newb when it comes to hardware so please dont call me an idiot and just tell me what you think. Thanks

I also am not very good at hardware things but I think RAM is located inside the MSM8255 chip. The same for GPU and CPU. Everything is inside one chip.
So it's impossible to change the hardware and get more RAM. You would have to change the whole hardware-related things even including radio and bluetooth. Everything, just everything. With new chip this phone couldn't be named Xperia PLAY anymore. And you would have to reprogram everything.
phones are a little different you cant just swap things, you would have to get the ram files and flash them to a new chip which is probably as big as a baby rats fingernail and then solder it on if you want ill upload the xperia play schematic or link you to the thread I made which has it.
Cool thanks so its possible to do so?

Well anything is possible really but the difficulty would be EXTREME also you would have to modify you Rom and kernel to recognize that chip as your ram chip.

Yeah i just realized that if you change the ram size youd have to change the software and it would basically be a completely different phone. Thanks guys. It wouldve been too complicated for ne to attempt anywaysb

Ya it was a good idea though bud
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
if you really wanna tune your xplay "just" replace the SoC with a better one (e.g. current gen snapdragon s3/s4, tegra 3, etc) and start reprogramming the software.
it is doable, but not really worth the effort if not done on a business scale, cause when you've done with everything on your own the chip gonna be as outdated as the xplay currently is.
I honestly think the RAM being this low was poorly thought out.

Because Sony is currently struggeling and will most probably be focusing on ps4 and psvita crossplay than taking risk with another platform.

Because the play was a gigantic flop lol it's a super niche market I believe they will make a new one in a few years. I find it funny when people say Sony is struggling lol Sony is a monster and is in movies computers phones every single peripheral tv's media and TONS of other stuff they could probably survive a total fail in 3 or 4 product lines lol. Also they are huge in Japan and many countries lol

You could do the exact same thing with a Galaxy S3 and tell people it's the new Galaxy.
Non-tech enthusiasts don't know every feature available even on phones they own. Some people don't even download apps on their smartphones, just use the stock ones.

@OP it can vary from game to game, but normally it is the internal card. If you hunt aroud however, there might be some methods of changing the location of game data.

The last that I saw on it was that it was not exactly playing well with 4.2.2. It has a nasty habit of breaking other apps, causing users to give them poor reviews in the play store. As such, the Android team has justifiably threatened to ban roms that use Cornerstone from the play store.
