Plants vs zombies on Nexus 7 problem

Hey there
Is anyone else having a problem with this game? every 10-12 second the screen turn black for a second.
I don't know if it's my rom, my kernel or just the game... Running on PA with trinity.
I tried to Google that problem, but I have found nothing. Nothing in the comments on playstore.

I'm playing the game on stock rooted ROM without a single problem :good:

Works great for me. From Amazon, on stock ROM.

Thanks for answer, it must be a CM10 problem. I'll try another ROM to see if its fix it

I have the same problem, but it can be fixed by disabling hw overlays in the developer settings.

I dont think this will fix it, i tried but i got a infinite force close of my launcher.

I have a Google Nexus 7 with android 5.1 and Plants vs Zombies. It was running fine and then stopped working. It just doesn't launch. The hour glass comes up, disappears, comes up again and then crashes. I have cleared cache and data, uninstalled any programs I may have installed after but nothing works. All updates are Googles OTA updates, no custome ROMS. Any suggestions?

No problem
I have a nexus 7 and I have'nt problem to play to this game.

Nexus 7 or Galaxy tab 2 7.0

Hello XDA,
im having a hard time deciding whether to get the nexus 7 or the Galaxy tab2 7.0. what are your thoughts. How do you like your Nexus 7? Thanks in advance.

Dude the galaxy tab is pretty slow imo, nexus 7 is a better choice

Thanks bro. I played with the tab last night and thought it was pretty fast. Obvious speed difference but nothing major' however I bought the nexus 7 16gb so far so good. I'm loving the speed and smoothness. Only one issue. I accepted the update to 4.1.2 and was wondering if anyone knows a workaround for adobe flash player? As always Thanks again xda!

imo the nexus 7 is way superior in terms of hardware and software, not to mention developer support and google support, being a nexus device
Only thing the Samsung has over the N7 is a rear camera but it has, to me, been done as a precaution as to not look like an idiot.

If you're still running the standard 'out of the box' ROM I presume you're running Chrome? Chrome doesn't support flash.
Try a different browser that supports it. (Sorry I can't post links yet but the old Dolphin HD 8.5.1 does I believe)
Flash also works fine with any alternative ROM (Like Paranoid Android) you care to put on the device - using the ROM's supplied browser

I tried dolphin straight from play store so it must be the updated version. I'll try search for an older version of dolphin or try opera maybe? Thanks for the tip!

The latest dolphin does not support flash.
Either download an older one
Or use the AOSP browser, I find that best for flash support for some reason.

All is good. Rooted via toolkit, then installed aosp stock browser and flash. Thanks all!

It worked great on my GNex, I haven't tried on my N7 since I don't use most of those apps... flash it and find out Just make sure to backup first
EDIT: DON'T do it. Others have reported problems

Dont try it. I did and it cocked everything up on my seven. Force closes everywhere.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I flashed in on the N7 and had major force closes all over the place.

Same here. Don't do it. This is not good for the Nexus 7. Had to run a recovery of system.

polaris Office

I use Polaris Office on my Galaxy Note 1 and would like it on the Nexus 10.
Has anyone got it running on the Nexus 10 and if so can you post the link where you downloaded it from?
Many thanks.

I've tried the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940197
when installed as user app it opened but force closed when opening document and as system app it seemed to be opening and then just close and go back to app drawer
maybe there's something in the build.prop that has to do with it? I prefer the 4 version but didn't manage to get the 3 to work either
I've tried other office apps but as for now, Polaris is the best one I've used... Kingsoft is very slow and others I've tried didn't have good support for RTL languages which is a must for me
really want to get it to work :\

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.

Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.
