Games suddenly not supported on device using Remix OS - Remix OS for PC

Ok so I decided to install this Remix OS and try it out. Its ok. I can play some games at work on a laptop that I turned into an android device. It has worked for 3 days now with the game FF Mobius. But today when I boot and try to launch the device (which hasnt had a recent update) it comes up with the error "This Device is not supported". So..... What happened? It worked for 3 days and then today it fails because it isnt supported? I tried reinstalling just to see if something happened to it but it cant get back into the game to finish the download because i get the same error message. I was thinking of installing this OS on multiple computers but if this is going to be a normal issue, i guess I wont. Anyone have any insight as to why this might have happened?
Incidentally, the device is an old Lenovo X220 tablet PC with touch screen. Like i said, it was working flawlessly until this morning. Not sure what happened while the machine was turned off over night.
Anyway, any help is appreciated.

@FumundaSaq I think this is a question for the creator of the game. He simply blocked Remix OS or your specific device. Why? No idea, I'm sure he had a reason.
To make things clear - nothing happened on your machine's side - it's the app only.

Hmm. Well the creator is Square Enix so who knows. Alright thanks. If anyone else has any ideas feel free...

@FumundaSaq it doesn't matter who is the creator.
What matters is that he dictates the game requirements. It seems like this game checks your device through a database and rejects it by blocking game further function.
Like you said, it worked before, you didn't do anything and now it doesn't work - so the app creator had to modify the online part handling the app or there was an update for the game in play store that brought trouble. Second scenario is OK because all you'd need to do is go back to the previous release, but if it's the 1st then it's worse.
Of course you could change your device info fiddling in some system files and that would work but I don't recommend it. Only thing you can do now is contact the game dev about this.

So you think the game creator blocked the OS or the device? Im guessing the OS since I tried it on an ASUS X200m touchscreen netbook and got the same error. So ok I guess I uninstall it then. Thanks!

If you haven't added anything stupid like a RAM editor - for game hacking then it's likely just a root checker. Should be able to verify that shortly

latest versions of remix os have a strange build.prop
it gives wrong screen size,wrong dpi and add as device id a acer tablet...
i am sure the problem is here. i dont know why remix have a so strange build.prop but to me,if the game is not compatible with the acer device remix use as id,the play store judge it as not compatible your device as well.

Ok so I guess you can delete this thread. Today it works.... I have no idea. I just thought I'd try it out and apparently it works now. Thanks for the input and suggestions all! This OS is still finicky. Anyway, thanks again.

ScummVm on Rooted Stock?

Hi everyone,
I have a stock rooted Nook Color (1.2) and I've been struggling trying to get ScummVm working. I downloaded the latest nightly from ScummVm's website, but every time I try to get it installed, it just says "Application Not Installed". I tried a couple of other versions of ScummVm mods, but none of them seem to work.
Am I doing something wrong? Does it not work with stock? Did anyone get ScummVm working? If so, how? I've been hitting my head against the wall for days.
Have you tried this one? http://anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn55436/1-1-0-7
I don't know if it's relevant to your problem, but I've been using these builds for months with no problem.
I have to admit I've never gotten ScummVM completely working, but from what I recall, you need the Scumm android app, an individual plugin for the game you want to play, and then finally some files from the original game. The first two things are available on the market, but the last one (the game files) are harder to come by -- officially you would get them from an original disc of the game.
Let us know if you have any luck!
I have the game files, I'm a bit of an adventure game addict, and I thought the Nook would be the perfect size to play my beloved games on.
@Arbelzapf, Thanks, I'll have to install those and try it. The daily build I loaded from scummvm website doesn't quite like the nook, since I kept getting install errors.
@ponyboy82, I haven't gotten the market versions to install either, then again, they won't work on my phone, and I think they are a little outdated compared to the ones on their website.
Going to be doing some experimenting to see what I can do to get my Sam & Max fix.

[Q] scrabble free will not install on flashback rom

I assume that everybody is having he same problem given the popularity of Scrabble, but I can't get Scrabble to install on Flashback **I have tried the spare parts thing and I have downloaded an apk to try to side load. It simply says that the install was not successful. Does anybody have any ideas?
just a question, are you installing from the market or amazon?

I don't see it on Amazon, but I have side loaded it and downloaded from market. Weird thing is that it will say installing and then it will say installation not successful. I think it has something to do with the app checking pixels before installing, but I am not sure.
Ok, I inserted a 1g Micro SD card and Scrabble has installed from the Market. I am not sure how that helped, but it was just a hunch and it worked. Now Scrabble Free opens in the top left quadrant in a very small area. I assume that the screen pixels are incorrect for the game. Any ideas on how to make Scrabble come to full screen?
so i installed it last night from the marketplace on Flashback. The problem you had with installing I had also with FB but that was with 8.0. On the upgrade to 8.1 I didn't get that error any more.
also forgot i get the tiny screen as well in the top right and it looks like it's not optimized for tablets yet
Thanks, I have not upgraded to 8.1 yet, I am a bit of a noob and don't know quite how to update without loosing all of my apps and settings. I can install a new ROM, but I haven't had to upgrade.
Anyway, Scrabble works on my Acer A500, but I guess the Gtab won't simply resize the screen like the Acer does. Guess I have to wait for a tablet version of Scrabble.

[Q] Running Clash of Clans on PC genymotion

I can play CoC with Genymotion. The problem is that it quits unexpectedly after 1 or 2 mins everytime.
Maybe you have to check your VGA card whick support OpenGL or not.
How about other 2D or 3D games?
Hardware Acceleration

Well I have been trying lt of combinations, with me CoC works everytime, but as the other user mentioned it close itself with no warning or reason, here I discovered it crash before opening if you do not have / support the acceleration activated ( VT-x/AMD-V) you must enable it, some processors do not support it, so it may be the reason... by the way if you find a solution for the random crash once it runs I will be more than happy to hear how to fix it.

Still not working for me, though. How much system and video memory do your PC actually have? Will that affect the system and video memory you set in VirtualBox?

after i increased the memory in virtual box, it didn't stop crashing...but crashed in about about 10mins...
I got 8G system memory. Maybe the bigger memory you got, the longer coc will run

I got 16GB system memory and allowed virtual box to take over 10GB. but the game still crashes after about 10 min. maybe there is a maximum of running duration. But i think there must be another solution of this problem.
After testing i recognize that there is a newer version of genymotion. i thought may this problem is solved with the new version. so i updated it from 1.0.3 to 2.0.1. But there are some problems with the new version. first, gapps arent integrated anymore. but you can import it. the other problem is that CoC couldnt be installed on the new images. so i installed the old version 1.0.3 and recognized that i deleted the old image with gapps. i cannot install CoC anymore (maybe of missing ARM support). you should not delete the old images from genymotion, especially the ova-files. you could find the ova-files in \User\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\ova
So i cant play CoC in genymotion anymore. maybe there is someone who doesnt deleted the ova-files and wanted to share?

zenfone infected? phone virus maybe??

Hi guys I wonder if you can help me. I have had an ASUS ZENFONE 6 for a couple of years now and it has become very glitchy and erratic.
Also I can no longer install apps like Showbox, Cartoon HD and Tubemate. They will download but when I come to install them the option at the bottom has 2 boxes to click either cancel or install but install will not do anything like it is not an option.
This phone used to be fine and I ran all the above mentioned programs on it previously no problem.
I have ticked the UNKOWN SOURCES option and I have also reset to factory settings a few times which seems to make the phone work fine and responsive again but it quickly becomes glitchy again over the course of a day or 2.
I have also run mobile antivirus such as AVAST and others but they never find an issue , however I am convinced this phone is infected or something like that.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated such as what anti virus to use that actually work.

Thank you for that advice Augustoandro however id already thought of that and as i suspected it did not work. There is clearly something infected on this phone because as i said these apps and many others i have installed previously on this phone some of them more than once and there was never this issue before. Something must be blocking the option to install these apps disabling the install buttons
it has root access? if it has maybe thats a problem if you have a virus.try to install the stock rom again to clear the system. in case that the phone is infected and you have root access a virus can hide inside the system and get used over and over again.i will explain to you what i mean and why i suggest you to install the stock rom again even if you aren't rooted.
when you reset the phone actually what you do is to delete the user data included the apps you have install. when you install the rom is like you do a CLEAR format at windows.
See here a guy who made a decoy phone to spy anyone who stole this phone in purpose of course. well you can see the entire video if you want but i suggest you to skip to 2:40 because there he explains that i am telling you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpN9NzO4Mo8 . So please try to install the stock rom again and if the problem is still there, well then i can't think anything else right now... please feedback.

Why is Remix still the best Android OS?

I have spent days messing around with every one of them. And basically, they have all been crappy in some way or another. And all I do is install a single piano app and try to use USB Midi controller with it. I either cannot get Wifi working, or cannot get the OS installed properly. Remix OS is the epitome of a true Android operating system. At least thats where it was headed. Its easy to access Windows files. Easy to install APK files. And my USB controller was detected without problems. BUT, the wifi app could not detect anything at all. And a crazy box kept popping up during my piano app that gave the choice to wait or close the app due to not responding. Even though it was working fine. Buggy I know. But still better than the rest. I wish someone would take a crack at continuing that project.
