Games compatible to SGSII - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seriously, I've been searching for 3 days now on why the hell Starfront: Collision won't run properly on my SGSII phone (4.0.4, 2.3 Resurrection ROM)
I get this:
These red lines also appear replacing my GUI in-game a fix is setting transparency to max but then even notifications stay with the red lines.
I also get blue flashing artifacts all over my screen when sending units to buildings.
Why is it so hard to find information about this? Its not only this game but also HAWX's planes are black or white at the selection screen and N.O.V.A crashing frequently. Some forums say that the games are Firmware, model, GPU dependent. Iv'e been on another forums claiming that Starfront: Collision isn't compatible with Mali GPU models... well how come i could play this game and N.O.V.A flawlessly 1 year ago when i first rooted my phone? and now i can't suddenly...
Can people please explain me or link me to explanations, fixes and even share sites to games compatible to the SGSII???
Thank you.

It's not sgs2, it's aosp issue, if it works on stock

So in order to have them work properly i would need to leave it in stock?
What about MIUI or CyanogenMod?

Just try different ROM's like MIUI and CM9. And if the problem persists, looks like its stock or put up. I'm on RR 2.3 and I have no problems.

Hey mate,clear data for the app in settings/app
I have the game and I am on the same rom and it works perfect.
I hope you installed the rom by using recomended installation in AROMA.

Isn't there anything else that might be causing the problem??
I like RR very much :/
Its so frustrating i can't play good Gameloft games anymore..

I found that certain games like six guns and settlers didn't work on aosp or aokp Roms so I went back to a modified Samsung Rom. If there is a solution I'd love to know

Spikes PureICS 7.5 & AOSP apps - here
It's based on Samsung LPG Rom but with AOSP look and some AOSP apps. Looks great but there are still certain things from the AOSP and AOKP Roms that I miss

I'm starting to think its not ROM related... i tried RGUI NDT MIUI, RootBOX and now Spikes PureICS.
They're all giving me the same issues. NOVA crashes after a minute or two and Starfront Collision shows blue, greed boxes and the GUI doesn't show.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the first NOVA game doesn't work correctly on ICS anyway. As for Starfront, try deleting the downloaded game cache files and letting it download them again after reinstalling the app. That's fixed it a few times for me with troublesome games

[Q] Real Racing 2 not working on ANY ICS roms?

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 .
jje
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

ICS is buggy right? its not just me is it?

man I'm on liteningrom 2.7 . i get a bunch of force closes.. not all the time, but randomly switching back and forth between apps one will just crash.. and when i type really fast some letters repeat, llike ththis oror tthis, its always the first letter or two.. Google maps has trouble making phonecalls from a stores listed number, and just general random lags or hangups..
I'm thinking it's cause alot of apps aren't fully compatible with ics yet, or maybe Samsung still hasn't worked out all the bugs.. but I just wanna confirm its everyone experiencing ththis right? not just meme (lol < see it just happened on its own) .
or is it a listening rom thing.. there's nothing special on this rom, so i don't mind switching if there's a ssmoother one, tho I do like the built in call recorder lol.. but I digress

You should switch to hydrog3n ics. Best ics rom I've tried so far.

It's you!
I suspect you did not install the rom properly (with full wipes and flash any fixes needed after the rom)... or you're using the wrong rom... or your dpi settings need changing to work with apps properly (usually one of these dpi works 182, 184, 207, 210, 218, 240).

best part is i know few who never tried the stock, only custom, plus most dont wipe and flash on GB and *****es about how crap samsung ics is. i can only smile.
I dunno
I don't think it is buggy. But however, it seriously takes up a lot of RAM.
Stock ICS right after reboot...........
hovers round 400+ if i use apps and stuff

Any Non Stock Rom Reboots and Shows Green Screen Randomly

I'm having an issue with every rom except the stock rom with the phone automatically rebooting itself while doing simple tasks and showing a green screen. I tried enabling force gpu rendering etc but still getting this. Though with any stock roms (default rogers rom + the jb 4.1.2 for att etc) i dont occur this issue. What could be the problem?
Yeah this happens wayyy to often on 4.2.2 roms a little bit less on 4.1.x roms.

This is usual since we do not have the kernel source to make ROMS stable and not reboot. 4.2.2 ROMs are more stable then 4.1.2 so idk what you did there.

Rebooting on 4.2 ROMS
I'm having the same problem as OP with my i717 It happens bad on all of the 4.2 ROM's I've tried, and I know it's not the ROM. So far I've tried: Slim, Supernexus, CM10.1,ReVolt all of which I love! I really want to fix this. I start a game or other app and get a wildly flashing green, blue or sometimes black screen and then she reboots. Usually when opening a game or instagram, but not limited to those apps. It's hard for me to replicate the symptoms. Anyone else struggling with these symptoms on 4.2 roms? It seems less often on 4.1.2 ROM. When I restore a Blackstar ICS setup from twrp the phone runs beautifully. I've used darkside super-wipe hoping that would help. I've also tried changing recovery. Now I'm running out of things to try. I feel like somethings not being cleaned properly before install but I'm new so I don't really know.
Should I try using ODIN to flash a stock jelly bean firmware in order to sort of "start over fresh"?
I wish I could explain to everyone better my problem.

1) AOSP is unofficial so these is going to happen. 2) Is your screen flickering? 3) if so check HW overlays in dev options.

It happens to PACman ROMs too, try listening to music while attempting to cause the crash.. .There will be a loud beeping sound, followed by the greenish-blue screen, then the device will shut off, and reboot
I got the crash on trying to wake the device to unlock, and grabbed a logcat using Catlog.

(Help)port to touchwiz nature ux in gb

hello. I'm using gingerbread rooted. and i want to port to new touchwiz nature ux which preinstalled in jellybean.
pls don't suggest me to upgrade to jb . because jb lags alot. i already used it and I also have used many cocore kernels but still it is laggy.
everybody is on jb, I don't think anyone would be able to help you out!
There might be someone who can..but nobody's on gb now. Most of the users are now shifting to cm10.1 as it is ALMOST stable!!!

Whixh such 'stock' apps you can't use?
And I said its ALMOST stable, not fully!
there are only 2 bugs, that are offline charging not working and low in-call vol on incoming calls.
It's impossible because of different APIs.

I'm not sure what secnotemyfiles is. But if I read it as my files, you can use es file explorer and delete cm's and for music player, there is apollo, if not, you can install some other player and delete apollo if you don't want to use that!
He is talking about Samsung's stock apps.The apps must be ported to CM
It would be interesting if it could be ported to GB
Having such apps in a stable ROM
If it would be possible to port those apps to cm10.1 then that would be nice too!!!

I am running GB 2.3.6 too. JB for I9070 is so laggy and frustrating. I dont mind using GB which is very smooth and stable. The only downside is the almost useless stocj launcher. I cant even hide app icons in this launcher and folder creation is not to my liking. I searched for TW 5 launchers but came across a Android Kitkat launcher which was tested and confirmed working in I9070. I have been using it for a couple of days now. It is smooth and problem free. Positive so far. You can get it from here. Hope this helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514743

[Q] Issue with gaming

Hello. I have a problem, which is annoying me so much. I like playing games, as all of us do. But the problem is that i can't play 'Simpsons: Tapped Out' on any AOSP or AOKP based roms, the game freezer after about a minute, and it the same each time. I have tried removing game, removing its data, using other accouts, but each time it crashes. The game only works on samsung based roms. Thats the most annoying part, 'cause I dont like sammy based roms. So whats the problem? I really havent found any helpful information yet. Thanks.

Does this happen on 4.4.4 based roms or all custom roms you try? If you haven't tried 4.3/4.2/4.1 aosp based roms, you should try that then. I recommend starting with slimsaber reborn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rivatives/rom-slimsaber-reborn-i9100-t2811657 then if that still has problems, try a 4.1 based rom.
Yes, I have tried other versions. Maybe first time i have confronted this problem was about year or year and a half ago, but then i just stopped playing. And now I'm just curiuous and want to know whats the problem. Btw, I still haven't tried it on any lollipop versions.

I think this may be due to the mali drivers our phone depends on. (Since the newer ones have problems with the game you are trying to run). Or another theory could be the app is simply having a hard time trying to launch on a custom rom for our device. But yeah, the app is probably more optimised for stock 4.1.2.
