More and more games lately have become a grind, involving hours on top of hours of gameplay. I have no issue with playing a few reps on a game, except I don't want to be on my phone for that many hours every day because I fear for its longevity. So I try and play these games on a few Windows emulators (Pokemon Go, Toreba) but find they won't start. I know both of these apps check for root because I had to set up Magisk hide for both on my phone but the emulators are not rooted, so I can assume the apps are checking for emulation and stop running.
In short, what I'm trying to say is, is there a way to hide the fact that I'm using an emulator from these apps?

Don't use an emulator. Boot up remix OS in persitant mode on a USB with some extra space on the USB and see how you go. Technically it's a fully fledged Android. Emulators are a severely stripped down version and mainly use a secondary kernel which utilizes the VT functions of a CPU which arnt Ideal in your case

Hello to all!
I have been browsing the forums for quite some time and now i finally decided to create myself an account, though i don't have enough experience to help most people with android, i do believe that maybe the questions i make might help other people as well.
My first Post and Question would be because of the following problem:
My internet is actually very slow where i am now, and it takes quite some time to download heavy games such as Modern Combat 3, Need for Speed, Mass Effect, and many others around, being so, i usually leave them on background and try to do something as i don't want to just be sitting there staring to the screen, but if i do so, after some time i come back to the app and it simply had stopped downloading, usually gets back to the splash screen, and asks to download it all again, even some apps such as Modern Combat, that keeps an icon in the tray indicating that it is still active behaves like that, or even sometimes instead of stopping the download it rollbacks the progress, once while watching the downloadbar i saw it drop from 220+ mb to about 140mb for no apparent reason and no heavy applications on background.
Do any of you know the answer to this sort of problem?
I would like to add that the app is not sleeping, nor is my device, i have an asus transformer prime tf201 tablet, running ics 4.03, rooted, with the keyboard dock.
And checking from the asus task manager, the programs even on multitasking with games generally don't seem to consume more than half the available ram.
Sorry for the long post and thank you very much for reading!
Hi, so I just got my s3 last week and I've been running TFS Shell as my launcher for a bit now and recently it has started reloading TFS Shell when i push the home key from an app, i.e. it says: "TFS Shell is loading" for about 10 seconds. It doesn't do it all the time but regularly enough for it to be quite annoying... I really love the launcher so I don't want to have to shift.
I suspect it might be related to ram usage as this often happens when i'm using quite a few apps or am playing a graphic intensive game. Is my phone seeing TFS as a dormant application and taking resources from it for my other apps? Is there anyway to stop it doing this? Another interesting point is that sometimes in my task manager, it shows apps running twice, i.e. there are 2 facebooks and 2 play stores and 2 angry birds etc. Why would this happen and could this be causing twice the ram usage?
So far I'm loving my shift to android though. Any responses will be much appreciated

I am looking for a way to run simultaneously run multiple android OS emulators. The emulators need to appear as either phones or tablets for app compatibility. My overall goal is to be running 5 instances of the same app at the same time. My first attempt was with Andyroid, however I could not figure out how to run more than one instance of andyroid at a time. Then I tried BlueStacks but the app I was interested in running wouldn't work on it. I tried installing an Android OS on virtualbox but the app failed to install because the device did not show up as a phone/tablet. I attempted to use MarketHelper but it did not work, not sure why. Currently I am trying Droid4x but the app seems to stop working after a couple of minutes. Is there anything out there that meets my needs?
Currently playing around with android emulators and despite my best efforts some apps are blocked.
These applications include:
Textnow.
2nd line.
Nord VPN.
Pokemon Go.
Obviously these apps are detecting that the app is an emulator despite the phone number and imei being changed. So is there a method for getting around these blocks maybe rooting the phone using magisk or am I fat out of luck?
I use the tablet mostly for playing. And I am used to move between them without issues. Unless I open a bunch of other apps or browser with multiple tabs and what not. The games remain running without issues or at least they used to. Normally I don't update anything, except for the games because they are live service and I can't play them if I don't. After learning that this update would improved multitasking I updated.
Ever since I can't keep the games open if I leave them for like 20 minutes or maybe less, haven't time it.
Using it as I did, closed them. So I decide to clear all and only play one. After a notification, went to that game for daily tap immediately went back to the prev game and it had close, which cost me a match. After finishing what I was doing on that game. I went to the settings to see if something was amiss. And all the apps I remember disabling that I couldn't uninstall like Youtube are still disabled. I don't have any social media app like FB or anything that would be constantly running. And went back to the game. Lo and behold had to restart again. I checked Dev options and Apps "Background process limit" still standard. Memory is at 4~4.5 with so much free I don't get I it's been so aggressive. Have 66 apps on "deep sleeping" have things like digital well being and other monitoring stuff also off. And the only thing I changed was enabling the "Labs" to allow Multi window for all apps. And just now, went to homescreen while I picked something from the kitchen, I know I didn't take more than 5 min because the screen didn't even timed out. And when I tap on a game, had to relaunch.
God this is ridiculously annoying. And non of the games updated since. I only updated a couple of apps from store.
And worst, I updated believing it would be better at multitasking. Like it would be smarter when using split screen, but it isn't. Maybe it does improve for Samsung apps. But I've seen nothing good from anything I use. And changes to the UI could've been implemented better. Like having dual pane only when you are holding the tablet lanscape. I remember having very old android device that had dual pane but revert to single if you hold them portrait.
I'm considering doing a full reset. But I'm hoping not too. Between the apps and games, which most are 5GB+ up to nearly 10GB it would take me a very long time to set everything again, Easily a full day for some games. (Very bad old, first gen copper line DSL)
Is anyone have any type of similar issues. Cause it would suck if I reset it and that's just how it works now. And it wants me to use the "keep open" feature. Which I don't like, I do like to use the clear all.
One of the main reason I got this particular tablet was for the multitasking. This is the first device I didn't try rooting out of the bat because of a warranty and what not and decided to give it a go as is. Now I'm not sure If I'm just spoiled by years for rooted and heavily modified devices. Or this is just a Samsung thing.
@Omizuke: Not sure if this is related to RAM management, but I'm also on September update. When I update apps via Play Store/Galaxy Store, the device will completely freeze for as long as 30 seconds. It just locks up, I can't do anything. Can't pull down the status bar, nav buttons don't work. Then suddenly it returns to normal. I get the same thing when connecting to WiFi or pairing via Bluetooth. ROM is clean flashed with Odin, i also did a factory reset.
This didn't happen at all on the July update.
I'm not seeing any issues with app killing, as you've described it. All opened apps continue running and I can return to them on demand. I play a lot of games, COD Mobile in particular, and I switch apps a lot between rounds.
I feel you on the not wanting to set up everything again. I save cached copies (APKs/obbs) of my games/apps on my SD card, so I can set everything up without Internet. Just use an app like Total Commander/X-plore to copy the apps.
