Hi all,
Having a really frustrating issue with the Kindle. Games seem to be crashing to the the launcher (with no force close or anything). It's happening on multiple games, for example - Cartoon Wars, World of Goo, and really any game that has some type of graphics.
I tried setting the CPU minimum higher, I tried the IntersectRaven kernel, I then tried to limit the overclock on that to 1000 thinking it was that.
I'm open to any and all suggestions, its so frustrating. I have yet to flash back to stock to see if the same issues are there, but I may resort to doing so if I can't find a fix.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thank you in advance.
John
I was just about to post an issue I have been experiencing with the Game Shadowgun. I have not had the same issue as above with any games but I have had issues with Shadowgun in that the game will pause itself every minute or two. This is actually the only game I have had any issues with. The game is fairly intense so I'm thinking it's pausing itself to play catch up, either way it's very annoying and the game looks sick so have been trying to figure out a way to prevent this. One thing I have been playing around with is Chainfire 3D witch has solved many game related issues with my phone. Including the same issue that is described above, kinda why I'm posting on this thread as it may help with the issue described in the op. Unfortunately I still have not had any luck with Shadowgun. If anyone else who purchased the game during the $. 45 sale has had this issue, would greatly appreciate knowing its not just me. Also, any suggestions on Chainfire 3D configuration or plug-in that would work well with CM7 Would also be appreciated.. Sorry I know it's not the same issue as above but figure an answer could be beneficial for both our issues.
Welp, just an update. I tried 2 other version of CM7, I tried the overclocked kernel and the regular speed kernel. Both freeze up like the user above stated and or the game closes to the launcher.
I went on to grab the rooted stock rom, loaded that up, and not one crash when playing games.
I really wish someone could identify the problem, I can't stand the kindle rom and love running CM7.
I'm kind of shocked that no one else is experiencing this issue.
P.S. is there a way to load the stock kernel on CM7? (I googled around, didnt turn up anything)
Thanks guys

Is anyone getting the crash problems with Splashtop HD? I googled the error and found that 3.2 with it's weird DHCP problem sucks and needs Static, but i changed my setting to static, and im still having crashing when im having -anything- of fair performance on my desktop up.
What im trying to do is use it to play Atlantica online, which of course, i've seen people playing Rift through their Iconia's on youtube, so Altantica, far less graphical should be no problem.
Right now im using the 3.2 CFW update that someone put out to preserve my root, i am also on Thor's 3.4 the rest Kernal, BUT i think im going to change it up to Richardtrip's.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Edit: Also, whenever i try to browse to other computers on my home network. (Have a computer that holds our movies and such) It crashes as well.
Edit: Problem seemed to have fixed it'self over..dunno, kind of strange. Anyway, mods feel free to remove this post.
hi im new here (and to the whole android thing)
my kindle fire has some serious audio syncing issues (i.e. in ALL games sound effects are played to late) and i dont seem the only one as google told me.
so i decided to try the CM7 to see if that fixes my issues, it does not.
is that a problem i have to live with? can i do something about it? what causes it?
thanks in advance for your help!
I have that issue too. I can't even normally play in rythm-game Osu! cuz audio sync is not correct
on all firmwares.
as i cant post in the other thread, will i have audio with latest cm9 rom? like JackpotClavin110112.zip
edit: well i do, but not in game
no.. Audio and Video not supported now.

As the previous poster has stated, ICS in it's current form has audio issues. It would be helpful to know which ROMs are you having the issue on? (ie. Amazon stock rom, CM7, ICS). If you're having the issue on all of them, especially with the stock rom it may potentially be a local hardware issue unless everyone else on the stock rom is having the same problem....
issues are with stock rom and with any other 2.3.x based rom i have tried.
other seem to have this issue too (and even contacted) amazon which promised to fix this issue with the latest update but didnt.
i also found game developer posts stating this is an android 2.3.x issue.
promised to fix and didn't? amazon.....
Seems to be a rather odd situation. Your kindle fire with stock firmware is having audio issues while the majority of other kindle fire's do not..
I don't know what type of media is presenting the issue, but it if works perfectly in another Kindle fire with the same exact software, then I can only conclude it's a hardware issue specific your device (and some others). Might we worth a shot to have them replace the device..
i guess it happens to all kindles, maybe not all users have noticed
please take a look at this video, you can see the problem at the very beginning
(as im new i cant link to sites, its on youtube /watch?v=U6MaGr4FCN8)
it shows angry birds as first games, see when the bird is pulled back an when the sound effect for it plays. see when the bird is launched and when the sfx plays, see when the bird hits the target and when the sfx plays.
some with every other game i have tried. on every rom i have tried.
this cant be an hardware issue can it?
The only time I have audio sync issues on the stock rom is with Netflix.
I am using ics right now and have no sound sync issues when the sound works lol.
Also, hats off to jackpotclavin, hashcode, hewhohas and everyone else that is working on ics.
Btw this was typed on my fire with ics.
Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck
Hi guys,
I'm getting mad with my tablet. I have installed every ROM i could possibly install on my tablet, just to see if the problem went away, and it just won't! No game from Gameloft works on my tablet, it blinks on a weird way on many apps that require some use of 3D effects, and in many times, the apps continues to run but my video freezes and stops working, tough the rest of the tablet continues to work fine.
I don't know what else I can do. Is it something I did or something related to the hardware?

i have the same problem i was scared it was gpu related but it hasnt happened yet with randomblames jellytime i deleted everything so i could get it as much stock as possible did all the wipes twice even reformatted storage seemed to have work for now i kept getting a weird texture glitch were it would freeze up blink then force quite to homescreen wpuldnt lag at all to let me know either was just random.
EDIT: just happened i have no idea i guess it must be hardware related "shrugs"
Basically when I enter a game I'm stuck in its menu because my touch won't work.
This happens for games only with larger size, like Max payne, GTA vice city, spider man 2.
Otherwise my phone is perfect and I do not experience these touch issues with smaller sized games like smash it, bomb squad.
I did my research and not able to find a solution.
Please help!
Maybe it's rom related?
I don't think anyone else running CM11 M12 snapshot are facing the same issue
The only way to find out is by flashing another rom. What can you lose? Just backup this one, wipe everything and flash a new one. Install the culprit games and try. If they do work as intended, then your problem is solved.
Yea it works with the stock samsung touchwiz! But the thing is I just wanna know anyone out there are able to run games over 900 mb smoothly in s4-i9505 running CM11
I don't think it's rom related because I don't ever any cm users facing such problems in the latest nightly..... And I've had this problem only from kitkat.
Name any game over a gig it doesn't work. And chain reaction too.
I don't know. Different problems may appear for different users. Some users may be facing problems that others don't have. Like you do.
I don't know what might cause it but it's clearly a rom problem since it works on stock but doesn't in cm11. Or it may also be a kernel problem. Try a different kernel with the cm11 rom you're using
What is the best kernel you would recommend for running CM11?
