Anybody else having a problem where Gameboid and GBCoid keep randomly going back to the select rom screen? The apps aren't force closing either and when it does happen it says in the notification bar "Gameboid is running" as if I just pressed the home button or something. Other emulators such as N64oid or SNESoid don't do this either. Idk its just really annoying because the emulation itself is fantastic. If it helps I'm running Starburst rom v1.3 and the kernel it comes with but I don't think that matters because it was happening before I was rooted. Anyways thanks in advance for any fixes and sorry for the long post.

Happens to me. It's definitely something with the device. Ever since I started running midNIGHT rom v2 I haven't had a crash. Although I only tried it about 10 minutes

Same with me. I'm on starburst rom and I can even play for 5 min without it crashing
Do you guys have any ideas on why this is happening or what we could do to fix it?

This also happens to me on stock. Kinda frustrating, but I have confidence it will be solved in the future.

That's strange. What ROM/kernel are you using? N64oid never crashes on me. (Except for certain roms, such as Zelda).
Stock rom and the latest zedomax kernel. It doesn't force close either.. Just ends the Rom and brings me back to the Rom selection screen.

this happens with just about any kind of game I play, not just emulators. any kind of tower defense game or plants vs zombies or anything that requires some sort of graphics. games like spades or dominoes or games with low graphical requirements seem to be fine. ive been rooted from day one and have always had a custom kernel and rom. my gf's e4gt was stock until about a week ago and her's did the same thing. you can play for 5 - 10 min then the games would just close. no FC, just close. battery temps rise as well when this happens. I wonder if its not a dodgy gpu or gpu driver?

Mine's the opposite. Runs fine on n64oid, Alchemy, Cut the Rope, and even Beats. But Gameboid and GBcoid both randomly crash (without prompting a FC.)
I believe I may have found the culprit, at least for me. I was having the same issue as many of you, SNESDroid would just go back to the main screen without a FC. Then while trying to play the same parts of the game all over again, I decided to fast-forward everything and I noticed for the longest time the game didn't crash on me. So I decided to try something out and disabled the sound in the settings menu. So far the game hasn't crashed on me. It's unfortunate that I don't get to hear anything though, but I'd rather play a quiet game that doesn't crash. Than hear some audio and have the game crash on me every 5 - 10 mins.

I will try this out when I can, but like others, why does it only do this with Gameboid and GBCoid and not the heavier emulators like N64oid?

Has anyone made any headway with this? I've tried a variety of tricks but Gameboid keeps crashing within 5 minutes of starting the game.
I've had the same problems with some emulators from the android market. They would crash within a mintue or two. So I uninstalled them and found NESoid and SNESoid. They last longer but they still crash with no FC message. I'm running Starburst v1.5 and Zedomax OC Kernel

Is this an app issue or kernel issue?
This started occuring this week.
I flash different roms and they all work well.
I tested lately on different roms as well and kernels.
Touch and hold sometimes do not register, causing me to lose a race or die(madfinger games).
Anyone else experiencing this? And possibly identify what is wrong.
Thanks much!
Games tested:
Monster shooter: lost levels
Mini moto racing
Samurai 2 thd
Shadowgun thd
Dead trigger

This issue is known on AOKP/CM9 ROMs. Try with Sense ROMs, if it still doesn't work, it can be hardware fault. On MIUI this problem doesn't exist.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes I have noticed this more on AOSP/AOKP ROMS.
It does now on Sense ROMs.
I will have to continue testing some more. It was fluid last night when I flashed a sense rom, then early this afternoon there were some of it.
I came up with a theory that temperature is an issue, it has something to do with the temp of my thumbs or the device. Somehow when it's cold it doesn't react very well.
Any thoughts?

Running SandWiz ROM based on CM9. The issue should be on this ROM, but it doesn't exist. Maybe coz it has TouchWiz framework. And when I'm playing games, no matter which temperature, I have multitouch.

custom kernels there is a chance that it could cause this and i dont have ur problem i think
because i played shadow gun for about 30 min and nothing happend the touch was the same
here is what u do like i said before man
restore ur device to stock firmawre with a stock kernel try the latest leaked firmware like the (4.04)
and do wipes (factory/cache/dalvik ) from custom recovery
after that format ur storage charge ur phone fully
after that take it off the charger
and try playing shadow gun for 30 minuets see if it is the same
click thanks if i helped
Lately I have been using stock 4.04 kernel and still testing thr games. Shadowgun yes but ill wait for nexus7 to play it again. Touch seems back to normal with stock kernel, running on renocate 3.0.0 atm

Used some ROMs lately, and it appeared on SandWiz but I'm running BeatMod something based on Sense, and I don't have the issue yet. Now I'm testing the battery how long will it last, and I will not flash ROMs.

I am running ParanoidAndroid 1.9.8 in Tablet UI mode. I downloaded the Youtube app from the play store and when I start up the app all looks fine. I understand that there are some issues playing HD videos on a mobile devices, but if I play a non-HD video the video starts playing as normal and after about 15-20 seconds my phone crashes. And by crashes I mean the JB loading screen appears and the phone starts up. It does not do a complete reboot where the white HTC screen appears just the JB screen appears. And this happens whether I am in the app or in the browser. Keep in mind I am fairly new to Android (converted from iPhone) 3 months ago, and just rooted a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know all the android jargon yet but I am learning. I have been searching for anyone else with this same problem to no avail. So after all that rambling, my questions would be: Is this a rom issue or a known app/browser issue that I can't find a resolve on? Has anyone else had this issue on this rom or any other roms? Or can someone point me in the right direction, since I can't seem to find anyone else describing the same issue I am having.
This is an issue with all the jb Roms as far as I know, like most other new systems it takes a little bit for all the kinks to be worked outbut with all our awesome devs I'm sure it won't take long

Got to Settings ->Developer Options and disable the HW overlays. You will have to do this every reboot but it should help YouTube performance

Hey dudes, I'm having a really bad performance in Subway Surfers on my cellphone, i'd like to know if this is happening only on my phone or is there anybody else experiencing this too?
I see many phones equal or lower in hardware executing this game pretty good...
Thanks dudes!

What ROM are you using?

i'm not playing subway surfers, but i check out in the play store. its just 2D game, it should be smooth for thr graphics. but i see it require full internet access? maybe the problem is on yours internet quality.CMIIW
Subway surfers i think is a 3d games not 2d. CMIIW

Same
Same goes to mine,had to use chainfire 3d,but that makes it abit smoother..not much
Same here. Always lags (and not playable at all) when play those big game; Subway Surfer, Dead Space, Shadowgun etc.
I gave up already. Just play some lightweight (but awesome) games like Inotia3 and Samurai II Vengeance.
Same here. Very laggy. I'm on AOKP 17.9 of iatillagy's. Any tweaks? Will using adrenaline or geeky engine improve?

Yes. I've cleared the RAM before running the heavy games.Same goes to background apps, I've closed all the memory hunger apps like FB. But still no luck for me.
I dont understand whats wrong. We have a same device and same ROM (yes, I tried with stock, cm9b3, cm10a2, bioniccow2 etc), with and without tweaks, but everyone got a different experiences when it comes to gaming. Weird.
before some update I could play subway surfers without any lag, but since the haloween update (I guess, I'am not sure) its very laggy. so its not the hardware, they distroy just the performance with a ****ty update.
Hmm.. I use the forvivo's kernel and it seems working flawlessly till now.

Played games with Mutant rom and chainfire. Subway surfer works with no/minimal lag

I am using CM10 Alpha2 by arco without any tweak or MODs and it works smoothly.
note: for high performance with this game i change the governor to Performance with cfq I/o
write sirmate
I'm using ParanoidAndroid JB 2 and it work perfectly on it
So I see that's the problem here is the ROM... I'm using the stock ROM, yet.
I've already tried to clean memory before playing, but it works just for the time of one single run, after some time it begins to become laggy again.
And now, after you all said, I'm considering moving to CM10, what do ya think?
Thanks for the replies! :good:

Recently just got myself into flashing custom ROM's for my GS3. Been hooked on the latest from AOKP (as its the only one I've really dealt with so far.
Previously I used Gaming Emulators such as My Boy! GBA and N64oid getting my ROM's for them from CoolROM.com. Now for some reason they are a lot more glitch and half my games won't even play.
Is this repairable, or am I just going to have to try several different ROM's to see which one will operate like it should?

Those worked before you got into custom ROMs?
I use N64oid myself and never had issues.
Also, some emulator ROMs aren't very good. There's not much we can do about that.
P.S.: I don't think game Emulators are supported here.
They worked perfectly fine before, both emulators and all the ROM's for them. Now half of them won't load and others take nearly 3 or 4 minutes to boot.

That could be coming from your settings. Did you UV? Change to a more conservative governor/scheduler?
Nope, just fresh flash into new ROM. Flashed several times already with the same result. I'm willing to bet that if I went back to stock Rooted ROM It would be fine. Is it even possible that it's just the AOKP ROM?

You can always try another ROM and/or kernel. But like I said, I'm on AOKP myself (Task's) and use N64oid without any problem.
I'd suggest playing with your kernel settings, governor and scheduler and do some more testing before moving though.
Still not familiar with the kernel settings just yet. I'll have to do some homework I suppose. If anyone has even had the same issue please feel free to let me know. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

Im using Task's AOKP with his kernel and i use those emulators with no issues. Have you updated the emulators to latest version?
Yes, I've even tried older/newer versions of the same emulators, and different emulators entirely..
Just throwing this out there but "My Boy!- GBA" Seems to work, but very poorly. Can't use quick save feature or the game crashes and the screen goes crazy. (ex. In attachment)

I'm not sure what could be the issue. I used N64oid last night (playing Super Mario 64) and was running smooth.
I'd try redownloading the game itself and perhaps test them on something else (like your PC) to see if they work fine there.
Okay, so here's an almost annoyingly simple solution. When I tried to boot up the 64 games, the screen would remain black. A handful of them would eventually start up after 3 or 4 minutes of waiting. I just tried 3 of them, fresh DL from CoolROM.com, Harvest Moon, Super Mario 64, and Super Smash Bros. Same deal with all those. Same black screen, but if I just hit menu > reset... Mint!
They start up smoothly. Still some glitches going on with the whole save/load states. Icons don't appear for the save/load files, but they still seem to function normally. Strange.
