[Q] Real Racing 2 not working on ANY ICS roms? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA.
I have done every possible thing, but I just can't make this game work on ICS. Is this a general problem or what?
If someone knows a fix, please post it here!
Some details: The game launches, shows me the yellow EA icon, takes me on to the opening cutscene, then loads and plays menu music, which has a slight lag in the beginning of it. Then nothing... After a while the phone kills the app, no error message.

Again ICS is not yet released you have a buggy beta test rom multiple problems .

Real racing 2 doesn't work on gingerbread, nevermind ICS.
Unless they have recently updated it, it crashes a few seconds into a race.
The work around was to not use cockpit view.... But this is the one I wanted to use.
The comments on the android market seemed to show similar problems from users with SGS2.

Kinda funny. They make the best game on Android (imo) and then they break it.
Way to go, EA/Firemint

I've just read a comment saying it's finally fixed for SGS2
Time to give it another go

Agreed, I've had consistent FC's with Real Racing and that goes back to GB ROMs. You'd think EA would either update their software or take it off the Market. Bummer too, Real Racing is a kickass game in iOS. I'm on a i777.

I know this is in the galaxy s2 section, but it works perfectly on my HTC sensation, and I'm on ics now. So it's not the os at fault, but could it be to do with the tegra chip or some other hardware compatibility issue in your phones?

not for me either
Hi this game didnt work for me either im running
Galaxy s2 i900
Ics 4.7.3 final rom with siyahs 3.2.3+ rom
Same problem installed great downloaded updates all 9??mb of it only for it to load and fc on me too first i heard of this game looked awsome too
Ah well

Same

Have same problem after ICS update, tried to reach EA several times and no success. Also tried to refund on Google Plaay for the Real Racing 2 and no success..
So we have to wait an update, or a work around solution.

There is a new version floating around which works on ICS. Real Racing 2 v1.11.4.000540 HD. It is not available in the Google Market (play store) yet.

Compalitible with Galaxy S2 ?

Real Racing 2 is available free for the Galaxy S3 on the Samsung App Store. This Version did run on my GNEX as well. I had to sideload the 400 mb data file and turn wifi off. Otherwise a stupid alert would pop up.
Works on the S3 perfectly. Works on the GNEX with the workaround. I cannot comment on the S2 behaviour...
Bearing in mind that there IS a version running on ICS, we should see somthing on the Google Play Store as well...

version 0.00540
this version works just downloaded and i didnt actualy start playing but it went further then previus when it freezed after intro video
search for this on google becouse i cant post the lnk..
Mod Edit: Removed link because of warez

nice game isnt?:>worth the time searching
Yeah, It is legit. After 2 days of searching!
Why can't I buy this app in the Android marketplace? I see they sell Asphalt 5 (iTunes already has Asphalt 6), so why not sell all their games through the market?? I am ready to buy them (Nova, Nova 2, MC2, Spiderman and the new Starcraft knock off) once they hit the store. What's the big hold up? Sorry, I am new to Android and the market.
Because they(gameloft)dont want to release on android since alot of device dont support it because of cpu and gpu issue.you can buy it on thier website but its limited only for some android devices.
Try to search in google with this keyword "androidsoft4u modern combat 2 HD"
this site provide the apk file and link to the game data, you must read the installation instruction, I already install it on my official 2.2 ROM, the game is to slow, and sometime the graphic is crash
Sorry for my bad english..

had it running on steves 1.7. now on 1.9 and when it tries to download the update it says connection lost.. help plz?
Solution
Hi I think i found a way to play modern combat 2 on the xperia play you go to load it from the apps menu and it will force close then you hold the recent apps button and select it there and it will load just fine but it still does force close sometimes during gameplay but just a quick fix for anyone eager to play this on the xperia play.
Note you have to select it from the apps menu first so it force closes if not it will not work.

[Q] Touch response on ics

Sorry if this has already been asked. I did a quick search and didn't see anything.
I am currently running one of the ics roms and loving the performance gained. However I have one issue. Some of my apps have touchscreen problems. A couple examples: temple run and battleheart. They are just unresponsive.
I was going to see if any of the new ics updates fixed this and but thought I would check with you guys first.
Thanks for the help.
Look for the app "SGS Touchscreen Booster" in Google Play Store, it's originally for Galaxy S but also works for the Tab.
Or you can go to this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336464

Thanks for your help. This is a nice app and it did fix my issue with Temple Run. However Battleheart still does not work. The game loads fine, but does not register any touchscreen actions. The game works fine on any HoneyComb roms I have tried. Just no luck on ICS.
Any thoughts?
Maybe Battleheart and ICS are just not the best combination

[Q] Why ICS 4.0 can not play asphalt 6

I have a silly question, when I upgrade my S2 to ICS 4.0 with many cook roms, i use titan backup to restore asphalt 6. When playing game, I could not play the game because it freeze all times. Anyone faced same problems like me, and any solutions? Sorry for my bad English. Thank you

+1, I installed the updated version from Play store yesterday, no problems. I noticed Riptide kept pausing itself after a few stages though, may 2 in an hours play
I have similar issue on Acer iconia tab a500 with ICS, launch game and get msg says "cannot play video" then after press OK twice just get a black screen.
Originally thought it was just ics update issue with unstable apps on a500 till I got all the rest working.
Have sent email to Gameloft. No reply as yet
well i got the game and it tends to get sloppy after a couple of hours playing but it doesn't freeze or FC
Legit app
Did you get the app from the Play Market or other source?
And what ROM did you use?

I have to share something about crashes (the reaon for all?)

Hi u all !
I am one of those that couldn't play any game more than 2 minutes without a crash...
As a last try after months... and before considering a hard reset... I tried something that seems to resolve all my crash problems !
What I did:
- Remove ASUS Task manager widget from launcher
- Remove my normal IMAP mail account
- Remove my work exchange account (Calendar, contacts....)
- Removed Battery Monitor Widget
- Removed System Tuner Pro
- 2 pages totally empty in launcher (the rest with many widgets)
Result (after a reboot):
No crashes at all ! and IU seems way faster (good improvement but not enough for a quad core in my opinion... the IU should fly.... even in economic mode...)
I don't know what of those 3 things did the trick (maybe a mix of them)... anyway no more crashes for me...
Would be nice if more people with crashes (and using any of those things) could try this... Maybe this is the bug so many people have been looking for !
Anyway.... after so many months.... and no way to just be able to use my tablet as it should.... come on ASUS....
Please feedback !
See U !
good observation. ill try one by one. ill start with task manager widget first. don't want to remove my email accounts or my system tuner pro. I have system tuner pro set up to eliminate alot of apps from starting up on boot.
Perfect... Let us know what u find.
I have to say that for my is a complete success !! I am trying one by one all my games (I am even not closing them... just pressing home button) all are working.... no reboot needed.... no crash at all (for now).
I am really happy !
Since I have been playing with the settings in the developer section right from the start and I never experienced any crashes I can not give you any feedback on your finding.
But while using my HTC Tegraphone I discovered what is described in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214.
Maybe you check it out and find something that helps you, otherwise I hope you get your crashy Asus resolved soon and someone else can give you additional information.
Good luck
For me, the only crashes i got was due to playing some games while on powersaving mode. The autocontrast or autobrightness (not sure which) that tegra3 forces while on powersaving mode conflicts with a few games.
The screen starts flashing (and the game freezes), and even if you quit the game and re-start, it'll simply crash (force close). You need a reboot.

Congratulations....I agree with you. I would be nice if people would try to solve issues themselves before "angrily" blaming ASUS. If they did that, we'd have a much cleaner, more useful forum.

1. I'm running mostly stock since I bought the device. Yes, not even rooted. Not using any widget either.... And only using 1 page out of 5. Simply using GMAIL app as well with none being sync. Oh, and I manually update all of my apps from Play Store as well...
Since launch, I have installed exactly... 14 apps. Out of those 14, only 3 were added since .21 f/w update (they happen to be games... Dark Meadow, Sonic, Mass Effect). Out of those 14 apps, only 10 are still installed in my tablet (had to delete Google Chrome to increase browser performance).
I rarely play game on my tablet but this is an issue I recently found out as I wanted to play Sonic. Anyways, with this intro out of the way....
Based on my history, when it comes to gaming issue.... I mostly have problems on Tegra 3 optimized games. Games such as Shadowgun, Sonic, Riptide, Dark Meadow........ I actually haven't had any crash/reboot issue while playing Mass Effect.. yet. However, this is only "one" non-tegra 3 graphic intensive non-tegra 3 optimized games. So, it isn't enough of a "data" for me to say.... "hmm, maybe it is just tegra 3 games" yet.
Would be nice if people with no crashes at all could show us this kind of use feedback:
- Using ASUS Task manager widget in launcher --> YES / NO
- Using normal IMAP mail account --> YES / NO
- Using exchange account (Calendar, contacts....) --> YES / NO
- Using Battery Monitor Widget --> YES / NO
- Using System Tuner Pro --> YES / NO
- 2 pages totally empty in launcher (the rest with many widgets) --> How many pages are full for u ?? all ??...
People with crashes could also report the same... and of course please try to do the same and let us know if It fix crashes !
TY for all the feedback !

TY for the info !
This "solution" is to fix a little different problem. Is for people like me with crashes in ALL games randomly. ALL !
Of course we could find some games with real problems with prime. At this moment I have no crashes in any game ! Raptide, Sonic, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Dark Meadow, Gof 2, Shadowgun THD......
TY again !
The bottom line is a rewrite is in order to free up the bottlenecks in the T3. Something its very wrong when benches are awesome and real life performance is just so so.

Task killers could easily cause a system crash...
I don't have crashes, but do see Widgets take a long time to refresh occasionally.

the bottom line is not a blanket fix but rather a "if you have this, then do (or do not do) this." Sorry if you do not agree but my prime works great and yours "just so so" points to you using a software combination that proves unworkable.

as on every android rom i have ever run i agree widgets are the devil.
Mine is like that already, and I still get crashes with many apps and games.
Pretty much anything that uses a bit more memory and graphics.
Update: Even Market is crashing now... rebooted last night, did not use tablet at all till checking Market just now.
Sorry if this doesn't help for my is working incredible good !
Maybe the reason is a combination of SW... (for me was something of those things).
Anyway It is sad that after a lot of months ROMs are not stable enough... even stock one...
UI is also slow... at least slow considering we are speaking about a high end tablet.
Anyway I am happy... now and after various months... I can use my tablet !

Sounds like it's definitely a software issue, try going into settings/apps and clearing market data.
A lot of these sound like typical Android problems that any Android device sees along its lifespan.
OP, this thread was a great idea. I haven't had any crashes but I'm not a big gamer. I would be glad to use your example thread and do trial and error to see what useful data I can contribute to your thread.
Is this only for stock roms, or are custom roms allowed?
well removing the task manager didn't resolve games crashes. I went back to .21(I was previously on new firmware test build) to test this theory out. I'm not going to remove my email accounts. I really love the Asus battery widget but, I will remove it to try out also.
Removing task manager did seem to make things more stable aside from games though. I don't get that stupid message anymore saying task manager has stopped. plus I'm not busy killing stuff on the task manager that pops up. Actually ICS handles the memory manage very well. seems like I have more memory left vs. before when I had task manager up. ill just let android handle the tasks, which it seems to do a great job of.
ill remove battery widget now and see if that helps the gaming issue.
I WILL NOT REMOVE SYSTEM TUNER PRO THOUGH. lol. that app is too valuable and useful. I know that's not the reason. games crashed before I even got it.
All those widgets....
Sorry to disappoint, and please don't flame me but....
I'm running all those widgets with emails and doing heavy gaming and I have no crashes at all. I'm only reporting this cuz you asked someone who has no crashing to post their findings.
I run several Tegra 3 games and have actually never had a crash in 2 months I've had it, other than the obvious "Asus Task Manager quit unexpectidly..."
I've also hopped roms quite a bit. Ran Virtuous a lot simply for the full functionality during school. Then for the last two months, CM9 and AOKP are fully optimized for the most part and I've been back and forth.
And why you say no stable ROMS???? Completely incorrect. I can think of at least five.....
I have no idea of the hell you people are talking about,
First of all I on stock and not rooted, second I run all that stock crap(widgets, managers) + I have over 150 apps installed acording to the play store and I never had a crash unless it was the apps foult. From time to time when I check the memory usage with system panel it gets quite full, but I always seem to have atleast 100-200mb free ram left.I somehow don't play games much, but for example GTA runs like a charm for me. The only way I can make something crash is when I start switching apps like crazy(GTA,Skype,Chrome,Skype,Gta,Teamviewer ect.)
But talking off topic, is there anyway to say repair the glass? I have a nasty scrach on it that I just cant get my eyes off when the screen is off

My prime is not unlocked... I am speaking about ASUS ROMS.
I know there are many people with no problems but at the same time there are many people with problems... Now I am happy because for any reason my ROM is stable... But.... What a nightmare till this moment.... I was getting crashes with ICS all of the time since the first day (prime release in Spain)...
I don't use GPS, Wifi cannot be improved...so I just don't think about it... And I have no browser problems since I use dolphin (the best !) So... The only thing I miss now is a fluid launcher....I am just using 3 pages for widgets, and ui is so slow (more knowing this is a quad core...)... My Sensation moves ui far better... And a are speaking about a sense launcher !
TY all four the info.

EA games-countrygate error

I have modded or changed just about every thing I could think of in build.prop but I am still stuck here. Does any one know how to get around the countrygate error in any of the ICS or JB roms? I am wanting to play more EA games and gameloft as well but have to sideload everything with very low success rate. games that work well in even frankentab I cannot even get to download SD data. Specifically NBA JAM, been trying forever to play this on ANY newer rom.
I was wondering if you guys who have had ANY success with mods to get games to play that wouldn't, at least for ICS or JB, could you post them here for everyone?
