Problem with games - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm having some problems to download the SD cache of many Hd games.I'm doing it by Wi-fi and everytime its gets an error message and asks to restart the download. Sometimes they even restart from the begining...
Also, what's the difference from a game that's made for different models?How do i know if a samsung game for example will run in my sony ericsson?

Check graphic card, powervr or Qualcomm.

Don't let the screen go off, that works sometimes for me. Also, try to google the sd contents of the game, then just transfer it to your sdcard.
The difference is that some games are modified for a certain processor (armv6, armv7, etc) and certain screen resolutions. If the model is different but the specs are the same, it *should* run.

the process mmcqd sometimes hogs 100 % of the cpu. load goes up to about 5,5 and stays there. makes the tablet very unresponsive.

mmcqd is the mmc driver kernel process which handles writes to SD so if it runs at 100% is because some program is intensively using the disk.
remember that the Folio has no ROM in it but a Sandisk 16 GB SD card
Bug :
about Foliowidget :
I have checked the Light (enabled) => lights are ON.
Sometimes, after pushing the ON/OFF buttons, light went OFF, and I am obliged to go under foliowidget ...
but under foliowidget, Light check box is already at ON, then I push twice on the check box to re-activate lights.
kepler1982, will you make a summary of bugs listed in this thread in first post ?
Games crashses the folio, totaly freeze and force shutdown is necesary.

But what program would that be? I closed the browser/searchapps and devtools doesnt show any processes out of the ordinary. Still the cpu stays at 100 percent until you reboot

after 2 days running, i got a folio waking up from standby with 0.1/0.5/0.5 is uptime cpu load..
i do note the wifi issue in the begining when its just rebooted, but it dissappear and i dont feel anything affected by the 2.0/2.x/2.x is see sometimes..
Movies do hit 3.x, but it quickly goes down to 1.x after movie is stopped.

I've tried 1.3b all day and I love how responsive it is!
Now for some bug report: I've got the "wake up" back again. Seems like it worse than ever. I also have some problem with the browser. Sometimes links stop working and I have to longpress and press open. The foliowidget icon seems messed up, like it's too big.
Other than that it's great!
Hope the input comes to use
Btw, I wiped it and flashed the rom all fresh.

patience!!!
CES2011 is flooded with Tegra2 tablets, and alot of focus seems to be on Nvidia's chipset, so games might not work now, but expect alot of gameloft releases to be for our tegra2 cpu, and fully compatible very soon..
right now all gameloft HD games are for the different range of cpu's so all binaries crash on our folio.. but that'll change very,very soon..
Freeze and need force shutdown
freeze and force shutdown happened to me always while in
1) games (Dexter had answered)
2) web browsing
3) android market too
no problems when i keep scrolling but when i stop for a moment reading the contents, it sometimes freezed and need force shutdown
i am wondering is it i updated my folio incorrectly?

it's probably a stupid question, but it has to be asked: did you do a factory wipe before and after installing the mod?

Same here, seems some SD card features are not supported by the kernel/driver. Try a Windows formatted card instead.
Still have some issues with the storage which may be related to the filesystem optimizations.
I see messages like this in logcat output:
Code:
01-04 23:26:55.953: ERROR/ApplicationContext(2384): Couldn't create directory for SharedPreferences file /data/data/com.metago.astro/shared_prefs/com.metago.astro_preferences.xml
I've checked and the directory exists and permissions looked OK as well. However I was not able to modify/delete the directory doing so ended up in a I/O Error.
Code:
sh-4.1# rm -r shared_prefs/
rm failed for shared_prefs/, I/O error
So i pulled the whole partition over to my pc and made a filesystem check:
Code:
Entry 'com.metago.astro_preferences.xml' in /data/com.metago.astro/shared_prefs (2074) has deleted/unused inode 2059. Clear<y>?
Seems like the filesystem indeed was corrupted for whatever reason.
(had several freezes and reboots during the usage of the Folio)
So if this data can become corrupted somehow, this may be a reason why applications are crashing on one device or not storing their preferences/data.
The main question is, can this be handled on the device, like doing a fsck before these partitions are mounted.
Flashing the fixed partition back to the device solved the initial error.
Happend on FolioMod v1.3b (Wiped several times since installing the 'b' patch)
Btw, also checked /data partition and it turns out there were even more errors on that.

can you confirm that e2fsck is in place (system/bin)?
its running in the init.d/01data2ext script at every bootup... i have no fs problems or errors in dmesg here, and i do reboot alot (meaning dirty reboots)
edit: i think i located the issue :-( (and made a small patch update to fix the 01data2ext script)
Ill test if we can use ext4 in my next update, so a fsck should be less needed.

/data is ext3 and journalised? so that should only occur if you tried a fsck on a mounted filesystem.

yes, after installed v1.3 i did a factory reset, sorry i didn't mention it.
last night i use it with wifi turned off and no more freeze n fs issue,
play games
read pdf
playing music n video
going thru others app as setting, phto app etc
all were so smooth and never froze.
only d game "slice it" rebooted itself twice.
bumping the waking up problem a bit. Any idea why it's back? It seems my folio freezes in sleep everytime I leave it alone for a couple of mins. I've seen a few else reporting it, but isn't everyone experiencing it?
2 issues with 1.3b
I am happy owner of folio for 2 days From the very first day on FolioMod 1.3b.
Great work and quite happy. Without yours mods, I wouldn't buy this device. Many thanks to devs.
But 2 issues which frustrates me:
1) After reboot for several minutes one core heavy loaded => CPU ussage > 50% . According to process manager it's Android system itself (somebody mention wifi driver).
I have noticed that during this period the HW home button doesn't respond while the others do. SW home button works immediately.
When the load drops, the home button starts responding immediately.
2) Repeating wakeup from suspend. Together with the heavy load after wakeup together drains memory very badly.

[Q] Rooted - Gameloft games boot loops

Hi all, I have the 19300, and today i purchased the gameloft game Modern Combat 3 from Google Play. But my problem is that when i start the game it shows the gameloft logo, the smal intro. But when im on the "In game Loading data screen" The game randomly reboots.
I hade the same problem with Asphalt 7, the i waited like 2-3 months. and downloaded it again and it work like a charm. But I´m realy angry at this game cuz first of thy took more money then it sould and i dosent work...
Help me put guys please!
It has nothing to do with being rooted. I have all the games you mentioned, my S III is rooted and I play them just fine.
They also work in my Motorola Xoom with a non-stock, rooted JB.
Make sure you have plenty (1Gb +) of free space in the internal storage, and also a working and fast internet connection (wi-fi recommended).
As you know , the first time these games are run they download lots of stuff from their server and everything is saved to the internal storage, not to the external SD card. When there isn't enough free space available, they may simply crash or lock, without a suitable "out of storage space" message.

[Q] Major Mayhem (not spam), restore saved games after crash?

Threads I've found suggested that Major Mayhem was promoted inappropriately on the forum, this isn't a promotion. Also the games and apps forum said if I have a question it should go in Q&A not games and apps forum.
Basically, I have a HTC One X with Jellybean Rom installed and have found that you can run the battery out completely even if it's on ac charge. I was playing the game for ages and the ph switched off. I thought it might have been overheating but it turns out that I had to boot into clockwork recovery to charge for a bit before I could boot the phone normally. Quad core burns battery power really quick.
I did this playing Mayhem and when I reloaded it I found all my saves were gone. I've spent heaps of time building up my accomplishments in this game. Can anyone suggest what might be going on? I don't know about how apps work yet. Could someone tell me the save game file strutucre so I can see if it's renamed/corrupt/missing or something? The game appears functional but I've probably spent 80 hrs on it building up the rep. Maybe someone could guide me through the file structure or how I could track programs install pathways?
Thanks,
Fishy

Use a file browser such as Astro, navigate to where you installed the game and look for the games package name (For example com.xyz.majormayhem). Once you find that go into the folder and look for game save data files, and other data files that are usually stored there. Try searching through the general "data" folder as well.

What do you mean by install process breakdown? Do you mean install location? You can find out install location by going to system manager and seeiing if its installed on the internal or external storage. Also try a package explorer app that should give you more information.

He means that unlike windows wizard procedure, android owns user and device so it does not bother telling you where files are and even hides files from owner, so break down is both destroying that concept and make everything available to owner at his own leisure, and creating decent installation log viewer from google to be able to inch every tiny detail, as those which don't have nothing to hide do.

Ah I see, that would be an interesting app to develop although I imagine that it would require root access to get all the necessary information from the system to present a complete and detailed installation breakdown log.

[Q] Racing Rivals closes on loading screen

I'm running cm11 on my galaxy fascinate and i try to play racing rivals, but it closes on loading page. Anybody on here play it with a modded phone? Any suggestions on how to get it to work would greatly appreciated. Also after uninstalling and re-install i get a "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" message

1. this game MOST LIKELY doesnt support the fascinate or any single-core phones. a lot of things available on google play will actually install but they'll either run horribly or just not work, the latter being the case here. I dont have my fascinate anymore but i've had that happen
2. try installing the game with the SD card out of the phone.. AOSP kitkat doesnt like SD cards, that game by default stores its content on your card. i;ve had this issue with multiple games in the past and the workaround was to remove the sd card then install the game. try that

Extremely slow

My girlfriends phone was running extremely slow so I rooted it and flashed a stock OL1 rom on it then I installed a font on it and it made the keyboard give FC every couple seconds and became unusable so I flashed the rom again and now it's still running slow would flashing the hisp kernel and changing the governors work? If so could you guys tell me how? I've tried doing a complete flash (everything but the SD card) and that didn't help either it works for like 10 minutes then starts going really slow again anyone got any ideas???
Backup whatever she needs like contacts, sms messages, etc then do a full emergency recovery in Samsung smart switch. If it runs slow after that she needs a new phone.

Alright I'll try that and I mean it worked fine until she took the oj4 update do you think that might have messed up the hardware?
like... choppy framerate? or delayed input? why dont you remove the sd card first, it could be trying to scan something in there
it doesnt make sense for a fresh stock ROM to be slow, but you should also disable any apps or services you dont use

Both I guess it takes like a solid minute for the keyboard to pop up when you go to type stuff and and especially on the lockscreen and apps like snapchat take a long time to load and come up when you open them and stuff like that

i've seen keyboard popup delays on a dell near aosp tablet before, the user was an idiot that installed as many apps as possible, crashing every few minutes, no ram free, etc

nah i havent yet ill try it soon as she lets me get her phone lol and nah she had an app called lookout that was an antivirus thing but she did have frostwire installed when i looked at her phone and thought it was weird but wouldnt a factory reset fix it? and she has plenty of space on both her phone and sd card how can i check what her ram is?

you rooted & flashed, yet dont know how to go to the ram menu that exists on pretty much every android for years?
why do you think some crappy antivirus is going to protect you, the biggest problem is always the user & what they choose to install (also how do you know the antivirus isnt demanding)
i'm not questioning the amount of space on the sd card, i am questioning if it happens to have a particular file that is causing the automatic gallery (among others) scan to get stuck at high load, you must have the card removed to prove that it's not the card
factory reset reloads files that are already stored on the device, meaning, they can be tampered with... the only true reset is reflashing a complete raw image from a computer, probably all of it (rom+bootloader+kernel+recovery, not just the rom)

lmao some things i use some things i dont i never really care to look at the ram in the ram menu because on my verizon s5 i have moar installed and it just says it when i pull down the notification tab lol but i installed avg on it and did a scan and something called demo strap came up as malware so i deleted it and looked it up and people said it wasnt malware and ah okay i see with the reset ill try it with the samsung emergency one and see if that works out if she lets me do it xD
what do you mean more installed, every s5 has the same ram, 2gb (i did say ram, not rom)
it doesnt matter what super phone or computer anyone has, people shouldnt install tons of crap they dont use & leave everything always on startup
that dell example i mentioned, it was ridiculous, like 4 different antiviruses, 3 different battery boosters, they were all conflicting with each other, sometimes it takes a min for the screen to come back on when you try to wake it, etc... all on 1gb ram with i think 64bit android (which uses more ram in the first place), after i reset it entirely & disabled everything possible, it still sits with barely 300mb free out of the 1gb
