Hi I want to start a list of games (or apps) which are not working on s4 on stock tw rom android version 4.2.2
To start with below are he games which I have tested not working:
Games:
Chess Free - AI Factory - Game loads but freezes and crash when about to start a game
Fruit Ninja - Halfbrick - Game loads but the game is slow (1st fruit throw is slow, second one will make the app crash)
Chess Software - Optime - Game loads but freezes when about to start a game
Issue already solved, kindly lock the thread as it may lead to wrong information about apps.
It seems that "LockIt" accessibility service is causing the issue (its a nice app to protect running other app, but i have to turn it off to play these games)
Fruit ninja works fine. Free and paid versions. List already wrong.
Edit : chess free working too.
You might need to factory reset and reinstall your apps.

I havent yet flashed any rom on my phone that's why I dont think factory reset will solve the issue. Some other users commented in the play store that the game(Fruit Ninja) is unplayable with the recent update.
-----------------------------------
I think i've figured out the problem, it is the app "LockIt" by PA. If the accessibility option of lock it is enabled, the said apps runs extremely slow causing it to crash
AI Factory chess (paid) works fine for me on I9505 (didn't try the free version but they're essentially the same thing).
I have just rooted my phone and installed game killer and than game guardian to cheat in games, and also granted permissions in SuperUser app.
But GG and GK crash as i run them.
Any solution ?

Hi all!
As always, I will start with the disclaimer that I am legally blind, and that I attempted to see if this issue was already addressed recently, but I have trouble navigating the forums.
I am a fairly competent Android user, but I am by no means an expert. I am just totally lost on this issue. I have the Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile variety) and am running the most recent firmware. I am rooted with a vanilla setup.
The phone has been working wonderfully, but after trying to download the Dungeon Hunter 4 game, suddenly the Play Store crashed. Since then, any time I attempt to download Dungeon Hunter 4, the store crashes and loops the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working." Other apps seem to be downloading just fine, oddly enough.
I did the usual measures: cleared cache and data for Play Store, Play Services, and Download Manager. Alas, it was to no avail. I also removed and re-added my Google account, too. It fixes the crash quite effectively *UNTIL* I attempt to download DH4. (Gameloft customer service leaves a lot to be desired - I submitted a support ticket a week ago!)
If anyone has any thoughts on the issue, I'd be immensely happy - - thanks guys!

Hi ,
if you are rooted did you install..... XPOSED FRAMEWORK ?
if so , then its most probably your cause.( i had similar experience a while back with Play store apps etc )
Your options are to either install fix /patch ..XSecureStorage( module for Xposed )
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xshealth
it fixes Shealth ,Private mode ,some lag and also this Play store issues .
good luck
You could try installing from the play store on your pc. It should get pushed directly to your phone.

Thanks so much! It was indeed the Xposed module (as best I can tell.) I went through them, one at a time, and re-updated them manually. I'm most grateful for the input! :thumbup:

Thanks for your input! I went ahead and sideloaded the Google Play Store as an APK file, just for good measure, and I have experienced no more issues.

Hi Jag,
I know that I said some time ago that the issue seemed to resolve itself, which it did...for a while. I know this thread is a bit stale now, but I felt that it would just be redundant and discourteous to start a second thread. At any rate, it's doing the same thing again, despite me having disabled/removed all Xposed modules for the time being, uninstalling Play Store updates, clearing Play Store and Frameworks cache/data, trying the newest version of Play Store, and then re-trying your suggestion of having the web version of the Play Store push the app straight to my phone. It doesn't happen with all apps, only certain ones. The game developers for both games are very advanced firms and tried to assist me through a help ticket, to no avail. I am going crazy -- does anyone have any other ideas? My sanity rests in your hands, O' wise denizens of XDA...
I was reading a review of the Galaxy S6 and it says it has this feature. I was wondering if there was an external app that would mimic this on the Galaxy S4.
I used to use an app called Home2 Shortcut for configuring the double-Home action on my S4, but there are reports in the Play Store that it doesn't work on KitKat.

I've successfully used it on Kitkat when my device was doing weird things. It should work just fine.
WOW thanks so much. Great new feature on my phone!
Hello, Guys.
Is it possible to run 2 games simultaneously on a Samsung Galaxy S8 using the Multi-Window mode? I saw other phones which can do this but unfortunately is not working on my phone.
Here's an example, I have 2 copies of an app/game and i'd like to play coop by myself using 2 accounts. Both apps opens and goes to Split-Screen view but both games does not stay active at the same time. Only the app that I am currently using stays active while the other one goes on Pause status.
Is there any workaround with this? Thanks for helping me out.
You can't force the behavior of a game to run when not in use. They are made that way by the developers of the game. There are games that can do what you ask but not all will support it. I know there are games that do it because I tried it myself.
HAHAHA!! Seriously dude.
