[Q] Problem running "Reckless Getaway" - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
i was trying to run the game "Reckless Getaway"
but i'm having problems:
First of all on the first start it's trying to download the game data,
If i'm not keeping the screen on (just keep on touching the screen) it will exit and i need to run it again.
Then, After i downloaded the files when i'm trying to play it,
after something like 2-3 minutes it's crashing (No message or anything like that, just suddenly going to the phone's main screen.)
Anyone experienced something like it?
I got galaxy S2, rooted, no rom...

Considering the problems with so many other games, I'd suggest trying to play with sound effects disabled and see if the crashing stops.

Nope, Still crashes even without sounds...

No one has experienced the same problem?

The comments on the android market suggest you're not alone experiencing crashes, their twitter feed seems to acknowledge problems too.
The most appropriate place for support would be their website though: http://www.polarbit.com/support/

finished the game without any problem here, maybe just one or two crashes in hours of gaming. I'm on Revolution 2.6 with nimphetamine 2.1.3.
anyway, just download aLogcat and send a log of the crash to developers.

[Q] Background apps won't stay. Little help?

Hi, I've got issues.
My GT i9205 will not run background apps for any length of time.
For example, if I am playing music (poweramp) and I go into any game, or fire up chrome/feedly/redditFlow, the music stops and the app icon for poweramp disappears. The access to the quick controls in my task bar is no longer there and if I switch back to the music app and press play again, it will not remember the last played point. Plus my game will get killed.
Another, possibly better example - if I fire up a more resource heavy game, tasker, swipepad, any kind of system monitor will die and their icons will disappear from the taskbar.
It also seems to be progressive, when it first started - maybe 3 months after getting the phone, I could still play games and some background apps would die, but some would stay. Now none stay and sometimes the games themselves die (while loading a level, it may kick me back out to whatever homescreen launcher I'm using).
There is also an issue whereby, when I reboot the phone, I will have to try 2/3 times as it tends to get stuck at the gently pulsating Samsung Logo and will not go further.
I'd had previous advice from someone who suspected a corrupted filesystem and recommended a factory reset, which I did. No joy, after same deal.
Last week I rooted the phone for the first time (nothing fancy just vcoreroot-v2.tar) and today I went to Sammobile and got the newest Stock ROM. Just used it with Odin and apart from Root disappearing, which was expected, I still have all the same problems.
I'm having a hard time finding a way to locate anybody else whose had the same issue and fast running out of ideas...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Asus virtual keyboard problem with Clash of Clans

I'm gonna throw a curve ball out there and explain a problem I have always had with the Asus Padfone X Mini. Every time I play Clash of Clans, addicting game btw...I attempt to use my Asus keyboard and it disappears after it pops up for a second. Other times I can write a couple sentences before it disappears, almost like it is crashing due to insufficient memory. However, it will pop back up after 10 seconds or so. I tried other virtual keyboards same results. I went into 3C Tools and gave the Asus keyboard high priority and problem persists. I've also had problems with Contacts not responding when playing Clash of Clans. I have cleaned my phone the best I can from bloatware and any apps that run in the background that take more then their fair share of resources. Still, problem persists. It only happens in Clash of Clans though. However, my wife plays it too with her SGS4 and has no problems. I play it on my rooted Cyanogen rom Nook Tablet and no problems. BTW, this even happened before root. I thought it was just insufficient memory problems and it was what it was until I could get root and remove all the crap. But still, it seems better but the problem still happens. Would anyone be willing to download Clash of Clans on their padfone X mini, try typing for a couple minutes and see if it happens to them? Maybe some advise?
Thanks!
I installed the game just now and used the Google keyboard instead of the included Asus one and had no problems. Maybe you could switch to that?

Thanks for your reply price0331. I ended up just resetting the OS and applying root again. No problems so far with the keyboard and the built-in contacts app does not crash anymore. Something was just causing problems. I almost want to say changing the governor to anything other then the default which is "interactive" will cause random crashes, reboots and freezing because even after resetting the phone I switched back to using ondemand and the phone would reboot and freeze. So I switched back over to interactive and no problems.

Problem came back. It would seem it has to do with the limited amount of ram on this phone. I am trying to set the niceness of the apps so that Contacts and Virtual Keyboard are top priority but have yet to find an app that does it properly. I tried a terminal app and tried the niceness commands but they don't seem to work or at least the standard niceness commands do not work. Any ideas on how to change the niceness for apps?
Thanks

Bloatware help with GlobmallX1 and H96 Pro+ 3/32

Let me preface my question with some info. I know my way around android and have been flashing roms since the first non-google rom was created. I also have extensive linux/windows/cli experience. My experience falls a little short when it comes to the more modern (and customized) android internals (such as which packages are required by what these days).
I already have the GlobmallX1 and while experiencing issues I decided I wanted to further clean the junk off of it. I also have an H96 Pro + ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W2L2WTY ) that will be here on Monday that I would like to clean off before we start using it. The only things I really need on these boxes are going to be Kodi and Netflix. I would like the play store installed and obviously anything required for the remote/wifi to function.
I am seeing a ton of packages installed that at first glance I would assume are not required, however I want to avoid killing the box by removing packages that are required by others. The Globmall came with Kodi and a Kodi updater preinstalled. I am probably going to backup the kodi install and wipe both of those out and install manually so I know the package has not been tampered with. I found a lot of stuff in /system/preinstall that I would like to get rid of, but again unsure if any are required. I looked into finding a clean rom to use instead for the H96 but it seems they all are missing something (sound, 4k, wifi, etc). I also searched for apps that might have some internal bloatware database however everything I found seems to be trash and just shows all apps and sends you to settings to uninstall.
My questions:
1: Is there an easy way to check a package to see if its required/important/malicious (either an app, or something I can do via adb)?
2: On these china kodi boxes, can the entire /system/preinstall dir be wiped out and the device reset safely?
3: I am seeing word that as long as the cpu and wifi chip match, roms from similar boxes can normally be safely flashed. I know flashing is in general not "safe" and has risk, but am I likely to find clean android roms that are fully working?
4: Does anyone know if there is a good place to find bash precompiled for arm(v8l)? I really hate this 'toybox' shell that I am finding on the boxes I have.
5: Last question is regarding a netflix issue I am having that I think is a problem on the box. Has anyone seen this before?:
Netflix was previously working a few weeks ago. I didnt use it frequently so I dont know when it broke. Basically what happens is I can load netflix and click on a show. The show will load and play about 1-4 seconds of video and a popup will appear (error 0013) saying it could not connect to the netflix service. While this popup is playing, the video sometimes pauses with audio continuing for a few seconds and sometimes freezes on a single frame. This happens on about 80% of the shows I try to play, however the 3 shows we want to use netflix for are all in that group.
This morning, I tried a couple older Netflix apks (I was running 4.13.3):
4.11.0, 4.12.1, 4.13.0, 4.13.1, 4.13.2
All experienced the same issue (again, why I feel the issue is with the box and not the app). A few other things Ive tested are resolution (1080p and 2160p) and enabling/disabling HDR (heard this can cause netflix/kodi issues).
I know this is a massive dump, but any help on any of the questions above will be appreciated. I have googled and searched forums for each of these, so If the answers are there I may be searching for the wrong thing. Thanks in advance.
Nothing? Is this a bad forum to post this on?

Apps' and Games' Crashes & Other Issues

*** I have no choice than to beg for help. So please please please help me. ***
So I'm going to tell you girls/guys the whole story. It's going to be a long one, so bear with me. I just didn't wanted to leave any info.
I've been using MIUI for a long while, in the beginning it was all great. But as I started installing more & more apps, I started having issues/lags while playing games. Then there is MIUI's ram management issue, i.e. If I had to run a heavy game/app, I had to clear out RAM(you know the special feature in MIUI). Other than I had network issues. For ex : Whenever I played PR Legacy Wars(internet intensive game), I suffered from a lot of LAG. And Tekken(officially by Bandai Namco on Play Store) also, Force closed once or twice.
So to fix all this, I decided to go with a Custom ROM, basically because of the RAM Management issue.
First I started using CM 14.1. In the beginning the results were good. Like the internet problem was fixed to 100%, PR ran nearly perfect. Other than that there was no RAM issues. But as I started installing more apps, I started having crashes. First it happened with HQ Trivia, then with C.A.T.S. & PR Legacy Wars.
What happened to each app individually :-
HQ Trivia - Every time I play a live game, the app would crash multiple times given that I tap on ''wait'' and phone keeps on processing the app, when I get the message "App stopped working".
C.A.T.S. - This is neither a graphic nor internet intensive game, but still when I was typing something in group chat, the whole system crashed, the phone rebooted from the Boot Animation not from MI logo.
PR Legacy Wars - This game is a bit graphic intensive & internet intensive for sure. Same like when I was typing something in group chat, the same thing happened as mentioned above. Keep in mind that crash should've happened when there was more load on phone like during a battle.
And some very heavy crashes. Like when I try to switch accounts between guest & usual, the system crashed so hard, that I couldn't use it, Not even the hard buttons, like power button won't even turn the screen on. The vibration motor started spinning and wouldn't stop. I literally have to open the phone and disconnect the battery cable.
So having no choice, I installed NOS N, but I haven't tried the account feature in it, in fear of what happened earlier to CM 14.1, As I was able to recover through that heavy crash 3-4 times, but I guess it was the 5th time, I wasn't able to get into the system and lost all data. Why I feared? Cause I'm having similar issues as in CM 14.1, not all of them but similar.
SO after installing NOS N, these are the issues I'm having :-
HQ Trivia - Same app crashing while playing live games.
Sonic Forces - Whenever I watch an AD, if it's longer than like 5 or 10 seconds, app would crash & restart. If it's small or interactive or even non-interactive, if I keep tapping on the screen, app doesn't crashes, otherwise it does.
Twitter - Kept crashing(first installed through TiBa). Issue fixed after I installed it through Play Store.
YouTube - Force closed once or twice. Sometimes when I'm watching a video, when I press back then tap on Home/Trending etc it shows white blank.
Games - If music is playing in background, whenever I exit the app, at the end, the sound kinda gets laggy/screechy.
It's not been that long since I've been using NOS N. And I didn't do any hard testing especially that account feature. So the whole OS hasn't crashed yet. But still these issues hurt in long term, especially the HQ problem. Also all these apps were first installed through TiBa backup, then I installed them through Play Store, so that there's no compatibility issue.
As this OS has a feature to kill apps by holding back button. If sometimes I have lag in PR Legacy Wars, it get fixed by killing & opening it again.
What do I need from you guys?
To tell me if this a hardware or software related problem. I can create some report or log, so you could help me better. Just tell me how to do it? Meanwhile I'll try installing other OSs.
PS: I may not reply immediately, but I will reply.

Multi user issue / apps stuck at 100% download.

Hello internet.
I'm now turning to XDA to look for someone with similar problems. Here we go.
Yesterday my girlfriend came to me in distress, saying that the tablet issnt working and she can't play The Sims ( which was her biggest concern ). So it turns out that switching user and then 3 seconds in the table freezes and reboots.
Tried everything in my not so very good knowledge in Android troubleshooting, clearing cache etc. Ended up with deleting her user. And ofc the game didn't connect properly to Play Games so her progress is lost :fingers-crossed:
I'm hoping this won't happen again, if so, I might as well return it - it has consumed so much time already trying to configure it.
Now after the reset, I can't install apps from the market. They stay stuck at 100% download but won't install.
After some moderate googling, force stop and clear cache of Play Store makes the app (1 app at the time) install/Uninstall.
!Highly! annoying.
So, anyone out there with same luck as me?
Yes. I have exactly the same problem with my CMR-W09 device. I tried to create a other normal user and restricted user and with both account I had the same problem on main user account: stuck at 100%.
I really hope Huawei should fix this problem!
