(Q) Some games close to the Home Screen? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running MBQ_'s latest uXylon nightly with AKFaux hybrid kernel hyper version.
Where I try to play some 3d games (Call of mini zombies, ace skies, world of blocks online, etc) they just close to the home screen after a few seconds. Never had this problem before. Please can somebody shed some light on this?
Thanks!

I have it too, with official uXylon.
It could be a touch screen problem, because when you don't touch the screen, the game don't close itself.

its most likely a rom/kernel or an undervolt problem. as this is exactly what would happen if wasnt enough voltage, either for the phone or game. and also considering that you both are running uXylon, official and nightly.

It's with all kernel and UV. So the problem could be from uXylon. But what exactly?

If you've set it to go in to expanded desktop automatically for these apps, try turning that off and putting it into e.d. first, then launching the game. I have this problem with NFS most wanted, so I just put it into e.d. beforehand and then launch the game

I'm on Carbon now and the problem has gone, this is definitely unique to uXylon.

Isn't a kernel problem, isn't a unique buggy N4, isn't on the other Rom so yes, it's uXylon. But why..

I'd say it's carbon, yes. I'm very happy with carbon, no offence to any developers but it seems much more stable for me too.

Bug fixed. The last Beta (07/13) from Dax is working, finally !

AOKP reboot when screen off

I finally got to install the latest AOKP after realizing it needed the ICS bootloader. But whenever I turn off the screen it instantly reboots. It does this every single time. It would do this back on one of the old versions of AOKP that I was able to install on the GB bootloader.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Or any ideas how to fix it? I'm assuming it's some kind of kernel issue, but I don't see many alternatives for the A500 like you do for other devices.
Thanks in advance.

Well there other roms based off acers ics that for me is running good.
For aokp your going to have to wait till cm9 gets more updates, so that aokp can run smoother. Maybe try aokp agian after the cm guys for our device gets nights running.

Yeah, I was running (I think it's called..) Flexreaper. That would run fine. But I run AOKP on my GNex so I'd like to keep them both the same, lol.
I might have to switch until this issue gets ironed out.

SlimBean
Dude... I cant believe I actually need to say this... but apparently I do.
THE best rom out there is: SlimBean.
Krarvind is simplyl a genius. He stripped everything out, all the bloated crap, and left a really good rom.
Battery life is insane. I leave my wifi, 3g, blue tooth, everything I can open and chowing battery, and I only need to charge my phone 2-3 times a week.
I have been using slim roms since my college at work told me about it when ics came out, and as my friend Ori, likes to put it, its pure awesome sauce.
And now with the jb update, it really is as smooth as butter and runs incredibly.
I was considering getting an upgrade on my phone to the galaxy nexus, but with slim rom it would simply be pointless.
I would deff say my phones overall speed has increased x2 with SlimBean.
Its still in early stages granted, he just released it last week I think, so he doesnt have all the normal features, but it will come.
Seriously, if you are looking for the best rom for nexus s, look no further:

I second that, with latest thalamus kernel it's perfect for me
Maybe a bit off topic here but if you are gaming a lot, stay away from any JB rom atm.

I got to say, have a go with CM10 Euroskank, sorry I am new here so can't post links but it's in Dev section.
The OP said he doesn't need many features, so in general I agree with Slim Bean BUT .... the ROM I mentioned is so smooth and is continually updated as CM10 evolves. Plus I reckon the features will prove to be handy. Who doesn't like to customise their device eh?

Nexus 4 HORRIBLE Battery Drain, Getting hot

My nexus 4 has horrible battery drain and gets INSANELY hot when I'm doing things like browsing and using twitter apps etc, It gets even hotter and droped about 1% every 40-50 seconds when playing a game Like GTA 3.
Never had such bad problems before. Is there a fix?

I am on stock rom and kernel but i have never experienced something like this , are you using custom kernel ?
Sent from my Nexus 4
No, as I said, many people have had these problems, it does not come form apps installed.
the google stock kernel kind of swings between bad and good. i've had it go hot and munching away battery or stay cool and deliver 2 days on regular use. i would suggest you try a custom kernel like franco, that has kind of stabilized it for me and i can forget about the kernel again.

rom + kernel suggestions for gaming?

I'm an indecisive **** in general that uses data to make some decisions. However, there are so many options on the Nexus 4 that the data is getting me overwhelmed (should have seen my spreadsheet before I deleted it), lol.
So, just wondering what other folks use if you primarily game on your phone?
I will say I keep finding my way back to slim, at the sametime though I don't really feel like it's the one so always end up flashing a couple roms.... Then coming back to slim, rinse and repeat 10 times a day.....
You can use any rom you want for looks and customizations. For kernels you should try Trinity kernel by Morfic. It's great for gaming and everything else.

I have tried Trinity, not sure my phone likes it (fast bin) as it seems to run extremely hot for me.
Carbon + Franco
Personally I use carbonrom and matr1x kernel with overclocked GPU. This combination has run perfectly for me. So much that I have not even thought about flashing anything else for the best part of a month which is very unusual for me

Simpsons Tapped Out

I'm running stock rooted and since day one with this phone, the Simpsons game has been choppy and crashes often. I've sent quiet a bit of reports once it crashes, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.
I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

In 37, it does have fps lag and crashes like six times before I can assign everyone to tasks
