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?

It still crashes. Just checked

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

From my short time on and off with ICS I am pretty sure there are multi touch issues.

Even I am facing the same issue on my Neo V. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and lost all my progress

Well alot of the games and whatnot apps have yet to be updated for ICS. So suspect issues to arise when using them.

Does anyone else play Home Run Battle 2? If so, do you notice any lag? Sometimes the game will play smooth but other times, it lags so bad that sometimes you can't even play it. Is anyone noticing lag in any other game or this game?

Dude yes! I notice it with temple run and it sux because this phone is powerful. I just hope its the app/game not being optimized yet
I feel your pain man with restaurant story all TW ROMs lag in these type of games even OC to 1.8ghz when I go to a CM9 or CM10 jellybean type ROM they work perfectly fine smooth and with my G2 games ran smooth as well not sure what's the deal here. I'm on AOKP based of CM10 and they work fine but I sure do miss TW.

I suppose this sounds like a software problem which sucks. If the games are running fine on different roms then it looks like the hardware is obviously powerful enough. I hope this issue gets fixed quickly.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think it's app related. On my HTC One S playing temple run I would get lag and it would be bad enough for me to miss a jump, slide show and die. I get is far less on the gs3 but it's still a bit noticeable.

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

Thank you very much, I am now able to watch a video without crashing...I appreciate you assistance!
Does anyone else get phone freezes when playing games such as: Real Racing 3 or Beach Buggy Blitz? If so has anyone found a solution to preventing that from happening? Thanks in advance.
I was playing RR3 awhile ago. On official CM10.1

Did you flash anything over the official Rom? Like a different kernel or anything? Cause I tried RR3 on the official release and it still freezes maybe halfway through a race. I haven't flashed or changed any settings of the rom.
