Willow Meow said:Lots of launchers can do that. This is the one I use.

NutriWhip said:This is actually really good. Can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. Only problem is the ads. I would happily pay like £5 for this but a subscription doesn't feel worth it.

Willow Meow said:I use squarehome, squarehome key, and whicons.

They are live tiles, so the xbox app will show the last unlocked achievement or message I receive. It really reminds me of the wp interface. I'm sure I could make it look more like it, but it's good enough for now.


Also goldeneye is a lot harder than I remember.

FoolontheHill24 said:I think that live tile is so cool. I need to look more into this. And, yeah. Natalia died a few times on Control and I forgot the game was harder than I remember. I need to get back to the game, I just started it while I was out of state.

planchetflaw said:For achievements, it cycles between the xbox app logo, the name of the last unlocked achievement, and the achievement picture, with a side to side scan of it.

It's not the most exciting achievement to display for the live tile function, but it'll give you and idea of its cycle.

FoolontheHill24 said:Thanks for sharing! It looks so much better now. Now I just need to get a few decent games on there like burn the rope and angry birds stella and it will feel like I have my windows phone back :)

Willow Meow said:There is an APK for Burn the Rope. To be honest, Android has gotten boring in my opinion. The new phones I see these days are focusing mostly on the cameras. Nothing else really. Concerning the achievements on Google Play Games, only a few of them (like in Google Santa Tracker and in Underway Tunnel Runner) are worth getting. A lot of the others can be earned by watching a ton of ads (along with playing of course).

VisibleRaptor5 said:I've tried a bunch of APKs already for both games, they all just seem to be free trails for Burn the Rope and Angry Birds Stella just crashes on boot up like the WP version. In my opinion the best Angry Birds game, which was made unenjoyable by having to complete the entire game in one sitting

Willow Meow said:There is a full version of Burn the Rope out there. I tried it. Droplitz Delight is actually there in the Play Store. However, the Store claims that it is not compatible with my phone. You can look for it. There is even Adera out there (though that was not made for Windows Phone). Microsoft should consider bringing an emulator to run WP games and set it up in such a way that it connects to XBOX Live.

VisibleRaptor5 said:Wouldn't hold your breath for that. It would be awesome if Microsoft did that, but it wouldn't be worth the investment. I feel like they look at WP with a bit of embarrassment like they just want to forget it ever existed.

Willow Meow said:Worth a long shot. There aren't very many exciting achievements for Google Play Games really. A lot of them can be earned by just watching tons of ads. There are a few that require you to make the effort. I cannot speak for the achievements in the iOS Game Center.

FoolontheHill24 said: I am not trying to bump the thread here, but it appears that some old, delisted PC apps as well as all Windows Phone exclusive apps and games (except the UWP ones) are no longer searchable on the Microsoft Store on your PC or on the browser. That is something that Microsoft did with the launch of Windows 11 and the Windows 11 Store experience. As a result, pages of these delisted and Windows Phone exclusive apps redirect to the generic apps.microsoft.com page. However, there is a special URL format that you can use to find these "hidden" apps. This is the format:

"https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/-------/xxxxxxx" where "-------" is the name of the game or app (without spaces) and "xxxxxxx" is the game's product ID
Clicking this link by the way will give you a page that says "Invalid Product ID."

For example, if you want to buy Monument Valley (not XBOX Live enabled), do the following:

1. In the search engine box (such as Bing), type "Get Monument Valley Microsoft Store."
2. You will see the link saying "Buy Monument Valley - Microsoft Store"
3. Look at the URL (do not click it) and copy the game name and product ID. In this case, this is the name and ID, "monument-valley/9nblggh3z8pq". Do not select that other one in the results section as that is the one made for Android.
4. In the address bar, type in the format outlined above and stick in the name and ID (remember the slash).
5. Press Enter and you will see the listed app.
6. Click on "Get in Store App" and buy it on your PC Store (you cannot install it there) and it should be added to your library. You can then open the Store app on your phone and download it to play. Alternatively, you can buy it directly on your Windows 10 Mobile phone.
