I got a new phone, Xpera P, and I have a strange problem with this game.
It's really dark. Not that everything is dark, but only the car and track models. The background is well lit.
The back of the car is pitch black, the shadowed parts of the track also. It's unplayable.
I tried increasing brightness but it's the same, jsut a bit lighter. It seems like a gamma problem or something.
And when I press my home button to get out of the game, it goes to normal for a split second before exiting.
Just installed, and must say that this was a fun little racing game! Worked out just fine running my Xperia P with AOSP 4.4.2 Maybe try to reinstall?

Are you on a stock rom? If you are,then i believe it because of outdated GLES driver. But if you're on custom rom try using GL Optimizer or ChainFire 3D.

Fantastic ! Has the game zoom function?
no zoom function AFAIK but it is a great improvement plus extra levels!
It managed to crash on my mini after one level.. and the res still seems a bit off at times.. I will keep playing to make sure it doesn't crash again.. and if it does crash.. I will just restart it and keep playing.. for the sake of testing of course
seems to be a problem with the resolution when it pops up with a screen to show you how to use a new bird weapon (that's all I could think of to call it) so when you get an exploding bird it pops up on the screen with instructions of what the new bird does showing a big finger touching the screen.. then freezes (I guess there is a button off the screen somewhere (on higher res screens) that allows you to continue.. on the mini/pro you have to reset the game..
Edit.. holy crap I just looked at the post times.. I wasted over an hour playing that game!!
since i have upadated mine, ther resolution is perfect, however the game itself sometimes stutters [which IIRC it didn't do before (when the resolution wasn't great)] like there is not enought RAM to run it perfectly. apart from that it works well.

Can you take a video of new version on x10 mini ?
The game works fine on mine. Aside from occasional lags. The new version supports the small resolution of the mini...
Is it crashing for anyone else when you unlock a new bird weapon?

sorry, dont know how to do that...from what i have noticed [playing for quite some time yesterday ] it appears that the lag/ stuttering that i notice is only when the advert is on the screen, at the start of the level. after that has gone it appears to be fine.
You do realize when the screen freeze in the instruction, the back button or the menu button (I'm not sure, I forgot) is fully functional. You just have to press it and it will bring up the menu. From there, go to the level selection and pick the level you're going to and voila, you are playing the game again without resetting.

w the 1.4.2 update, the instruction fits the screen properly w the check mark to continue.
I installed the last update and it seems to work a little bit smoother than before.
But finally, I found the key: to root and install AdFree... NOW WORKS PERFECT !!! Also I noticed with AdFree my X10 mini goes faster. I hope this helps!

I can confirm this! Still a little slow sometimes at the start of a level, but a lot faster than with the ads!

Hi
How do you get a Adfree version?
BTw .. last night my angry birds wanted to update (from 1.3.5.to the new one) but i had to stop the update. Now the game does not wanna update i am still on 1.3.5, how do i get the update notification back?
Download the latest version from Market or getjar.com
Was really excited to see Tomb runner in play store but after downloading was unplayable cause the tilt sensor doesn't seem to work in the game, seems fine on home screen etc.... anyone else having this problem or found any workarounds?
Hmmm.. does it work elsewhere for your tablet? Tombrunner works fine, with tilt, on mine.
its fine in other apps, which build of the os are u on? Settings-About tablet-Build number... Mines B016 at the end...
Did you try to uninstall and reinstall? It worked for me
Tried everything, reinstall, reset tablet but no joy... Im gonna try the ICS beta ROM.

Absolutely worth the upgrade and I cannot recommend it more highly. I just updated to ICS b08 last night (from 006) and it continues to be a significant upgrade in the little things. Screen seems more responsive, performance better to the eye, and so on. Absolutely worth it, regardless of tomb runner. 8)
It's working great on ICS 08 rom. But playing something like angry birds and tip off basketball is harder than it should be because the touchscreen filtering algorithm either non existent or were set to a very low number so you can't have a steady touch (try to just touch the screen in the browser and it's shaking... Or just activate pointer location in developer options to visually see the touches). Despite this problem, I still think that this rom is better than the hc ones.

i red it somewhere on web and when happened it to me it worked.
Solution:
1. turn off screen tilt function
2. turn off auto screen brightness
3. turn on screen tilt function
4. turn on auto screen brightness
weird? try it

Home screen / auto rotate use orientation sensor. Games use accelerometer. If you or anyone else having accelerometer issue, try disabling compatible coordinate mode in setting - developer options.
As for me otherwise - enabling compatible options.

By any chance you're touching the back key on the phone accidently? Didn't try this game but on another game i went to home screen but realized i had pressed the back key since it's very sensitive.
Nope definitely not doing that ):

Stuttery music
I had stuttery music. Tried a lot of things. Finally it seems it is sufficient to increase the available RAM. I use 'Advanced task killer' to do the job.
Now I can enjoy the race with 'normal' sound (without stuttering).
Hi,
I have created a new app for the Xperia U, that will give you "disco lights" in the illumination bar.
Now also works for Xperia P.
So far it only has a few modes. It does both plain blinks and also blinks that are driven by the music you play.
Pro version has more colors and can run in the background.
It only works on Xperia U or Xperia P, and it also requires ROOT to get individual access to the LEDs.
On anything but a rooted XU or rooted XP i'm sure it will do absolutely nothing...
It's called U-Disco and you can find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udisco
Pro version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udiscopro
Try it out and let me know what you think.
If you have suggestions for fun blink patterns, let me know and I'll try to include it in upcoming releases.
Hi,
I have tested the application and what I think is great! But I wish that the lights are activated only when you make a pressure on the touchscreen buttons. Is what you know to do that?
Loved the crazy discos...
Great idea, and nicely implemented. :thumbup:
Possible to add an option to turn off the LED?

The LEDs should go off when you change the selection on either drop down list.
Sometimes you may need to toggle audio source on and off before it really goes off
It's cool. Haha, I feel like little child playing with his torches.

Simply awesome............ make it more smooth if you can... great app by the way....

Confirming that this app works fcking seXy on Xperia U with CM9 (fxp145) ALso, love the rainbow thing Gr8 job And hell the music thing works toooo seXy on CM9 also ..............
But why the LEDs are back to normal if i am back to home screen by pressing back button its nt permanent .
But the left led is stable ..dont do anything
Btw, Made a Quick Review http://youtu.be/6Tn-tZPzAxE
Good job, thanks!
Too bad Android closes it when I play a memory intensive game, such as Dead Trigger... It'd be cool to have the light effects while shooting
Can you do a root version and make it stay in the memory of the phone?
Could you make it turn of when the screen does and turn on when the screen does cause that'd be perfect

The default behavior for an app is to shut down when you press the back button. If you want to keep it running in the background you can press the home button instead.

I don't know how it works with high prio processes on android, but I can look into it.
I also don't really know how good android is at deciding when to kill apps.
It is supposed to only kill apps when other apps need the memory, but I guess it is possible that it kills apps earlier than it really needs to.
Anyone know how good this works?
I don't want to change the app so it makes the rest of the system run poorly by holding on to memory that really should have been released.

Yes, but if the android framework is doing a good job it means your game really need the ram, so if my app stays active the game may not work so well any more.

Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
Locking and unlocking not working for you? I don't know of any alternative..
Well, the solution (for me) was to set in Chainfire3D (at Default OpenGL settings) 2 things:
1. Reduce texture quality
2. Reduce texture size.
Then open the game. It's the only solution. The game will not look very nice, but at least you will be able to play it.
I am not able to run it that way too....I am uploading the screen shot...is any file missing ......there are lot of music files except this folders....

Yes, but it's the only solutions to play this game. That's why i said it will look ugly. Plus you will have to press blindly untill you find "settings menu" or "race" and other stuffs. But if you know how they are positioned it's easy. Luckly for me I played this game on another phone (an Xperia one) and I know how to start a race. I guess it's very hard to play for the first time NFS Shift on S5830i if you can't see any text. The text is there, but you have to press randomly, untill you find it. I'm sorry. But once you enter in a race all problems dissapears (I mean you have no problems seeing the cars, the road or anything else). The only thing is that the image doesn't have a high quality (but it's understandable, knowing that you choosed to reduce texture quality and texture size).
It's a game that worh playing on a S5830i only if you are a big fan of racing cars. My daughter (of 4,5 years old) likes to play this game on my phone (xperia) but she wanted this game on her mom's phone too (S5830i). I had a lot of problems until I made it to work on S5830i, untill I found the solution. Trust me: the solution posted by me it's the only one. I am praying to God to be another one.
