Touchscreen doesn't work on some games? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I am on the CM build posted in the T-Mobile dev section for my d801 On some games, my touchscreen will not work at all. CSR Racing, Megatroid, and --- are an example of 3 that do not work. I can play some games like Dots and Field Runners that work just fine. I noticed this first when trying to play CSR between ROMs. I have tried the posted PA, AOKP, and CM ROMs and they all exhibit the same behavior in those games.
I tried some searches but I haven't seen anyone with a problem like this in any phone. I went as far as to enable the touchscreen layout visualization in developer options and there aren't even any touch boxes defined, according to that tool.
I'm trying a fresh installation to see if it does the same thing. I'm thinking maybe another program is somehow interfering with this? I tried disabling lux, llama, and screen off and lock because I thought those programs may affect this condition but nothing has changed.
Any thoughts on what to try next?

Just tried a fresh install of Slimbean, activated my Google account, downloaded CSR Racing and the touch screen didn't work for the game. I could still hit the hardware buttons but couldn't do anything in the game. Frustrating!

We need the developers to figure this one out. Someone posted some logs over at the CM thread which hopefully would be useful to them.

[Q] CM10 Alpha 1 and game issues

I recently flashed the new CM10 Alpha 1 ROM. I love it! Most of my games play fine except for one and for the life of me I can't figure out why. It ran fine on CM7.2, my phone with ICS, N7's, etc.
The game is Bubble Wars by Modular Dreams Incorporated.
Since upgrading my NC from CM7.2 to CM9 and CM10, I have not been able to get the game to play. I can load the app and it opens to the main screen where I can choose which to play (Attack or Defend). At this point all animation stops and I can't select anything. I've cleared the cache, cleared data, uninstalled, reinstalled and still it does not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas of what to try next?
Thanks in advance.
I can't really help, just letting you know I have the same problem. I like Bubble Wars on my Nook, but it would lock up my phone (CM10 based ParanoidAndroid). Now that I have CM10 on the Nook, it locks up the same. I'm thinking the game doesn't like CM10.
Good to know I'm not the only one having problems. I've emailed the developer and he is looking into it. You can email him your issues (be as descriptive as you can) and that will help him.
The issues I have are exactly identical on both my devices:
Motorola Atrix 4G running Paranoid Android 2.16
Nook Color running CM10 alpha 1 and Paranoid Android 2.xx
The first issue is an apparent freeze when starting the game. When you go to choose the game mode it appears to be frozen, but if you persist with tapping the screen it will eventually take your selection.
The second issue is probably the same as the first. When attempting to play the game it appears to be frozen, but if you persist with tapping the screen it will eventually shoot the ball. The extra twist is that the aiming aid arrow is always displayed and does respond to each and every touch, it just doesn't shoot the ball.
I can get a screenshot showing the aiming aid if you want.

So i've been testing a ridiculous amount of sideloaded games on the OUYA and figured i'd post a list of every game i've found that works with the controller. I'm sure there are many more so help me fill out this list!

Legion have you tried Modern Combat 4 the latest meltdown update Gameloft secretly added generic HID support and works perfect out of the box check it -
Also I know Ouya supports Dual Shock 3 pad native, have you tried pushing permissions to system and installing Playstation Mobile?
Direct Download of my PSM Flashable Zip (Or open and push manual) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1467214&d=1352405263
Cant test yet as still waiting for my Ouya

I've tried several different versions of Modern Combat 4 and unfortunately none of them work. Since the OUYA doesn't have the Android market the only Gameloft games that will work are from the WAP store, but even then the only one that's working right now is Dungeon Hunter 4. I REALLLY want Blitz Brigade but no matter how I try to sideload it it refuses to work.
PSM does work but I haven't experimented with it much.
You maybe able to later (Check this last post in the Google market fix thread/Ouya developement - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43203621&postcount=31) This MC4 with HID is the latest Google version BTW.

Anyone else have trouble with The Conduit force closing?
I got to the 2nd mission (the one that looks like they pinched it straight from Goldeneye on the N64), about half way through and the game just closes back to the Ouya menu. Anyone know of a workaround? It's seems like quite an entertaining game.
Your post says all gamevil RPGs have you actually been able to get Dark Avenger to work? if so how? I am unable to get even past the intro screen and controller seems to do nothing.
-thanks
Have you tried installing an apk installing the Google Play Store on the OUYA? Don't know if this is possible and haven't tried because my OUYA just got in.

You can't just simply install the apk for the Play Store on OUYA. The Play Store relies on several Google frameworks that aren't present on OUYA, and even if they were, you'd need SU on the console to push the Play apk to system and set the relevant permissions. There's a whole thread about it on the forums somewhere.

As I said I haven't tried it or read about it. Just was making a comment. Have been reading an other topic that they have installed the apk but still don't have any luck on getting apps to work more easely.
How do you get Jet Set Radio to work? I tried to copy the APK and the Android/obb/jetsetradio (or android/data/jetsetradio i can't remember) folder as well but it crashes when I try to launch it
Thanks

I haven't been able to get it to work outside of getting into the main menu either. That entry refers to their retro styled rpgs like the Zenonia series, Illusia series, Destinia, etc. I'll edit that part of the list for future reference. Sorry about that.

Jet Set Radio works great for me, make sure you are copying the obb file to Android/obb/com.sega.jetsetradio/ because as you have it written won't work.
Alright i'll try again. thanks!

Edit: The game won't open, the screen just flashes with a spinning loading icon.
I'm downloading it from the market now
If it doesn't work with the Ouya controller I can also test with PS3, 360, and Nyco Playpad.
Hey guys and gals!
I'm still pretty new to the ouya but I'll try some stuff over the weekend.
Got GTA VC and III working great, no problems.
You can add Pocket League Soccer by Kairosoft to your list of working games. It works with the analog stick and the d-pad although you have to use the touchpad for pressing things. I'll test more Kairosoft games and I guess they'll work the same way since they are pretty much the same games.
How did you get beach buggy blitz to worm with controller?
@paco8 thanks!
@gottahavit Click on the settings button using the touch pad then click controls then choose the "gamepad" option
Galaxy Hero has controller support, but it's a bit wonky and at times you still need the touch pad.
I'm trying out Spectral Souls right now. When it finishes installing (It validated my Play Store Purchase) Ill post how it goes.
Ok, time for some more... Sadly though, my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard don't work. Probably cause they are 5 years old. xD
Anyways, here we go:
Age of Zombies - black screen, not working.
Beat Hazard - working though only with the touchpad which is quite difficult. I used the fixed thumb stick and had to double-tap and drag it around.
Death Worm - working yet impossible to play with only the touchpad.
FIFA 12 - won't download data. I didn't try transferring data.
Gunman Clive - working really good thankfully after changing the controls in the pause menu.
Heist: The Score - downloads data fine, but I can't navigate the menu at all.
The Impossible Game - navigating the menu with the touchpad and jumping with the O-button works great, yet placing markers only works with the touchpad which can be tricky.
Infectonator - only with the touchpad which is quite difficult.
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene - only with the touchpad and in portrait mode which makes it practically unplayable.
Kami Retro - downloads data. Does not respond at all though after that.
Osmos HD - of course very hard to play with only the touchpad, but it's working.
Pac-Man Championship Edt - working with the controller, although it is in portrait mode and strangely there is no sound.
PewPew 2 - also strangely only gives out audio yet nothing working on a black screen.
They Need To Be Fed 1 - loops the first few seconds. Not playable at all. I haven't purchased part 2 yet.
I will test some more soon. This was rather unsatisfactory. Only Gunman Clive and The Impossible Game are enjoyable with the controller IMO yet maybe Beat Hazard, Death Worm, Infectonator and Osmos HD will be easier with a mouse.
my favorite game ,WINDUP KNIGHT works super perfect

Google Play Magazines

Hi guys,
I have been a Nexus 10 user since its release, my other android devices currently are a Nexus 4 and a i9305t, previously a Gnex and a Nexus S.
All my android devices are rooted and on a custom rom.
Primarily, the Nexus 10 has been difficult due to battery life and charging mostly. I have been using PA 3.0x for the past few months, and I decided to update to PA 3.6 with the latest Gapps yesterday, since then I have not been able to resolve my "Google Play Magazine has stopped" error.
I have at this point done a full factory reset, formatted the internal SD card, and now tried a different rom (Revolt 4.4) all of which have been unsuccessful at fixing the Google Play Magazine app..
I have googled for a solution with very little success. I am hoping that someone here can help me out.
cheers
Marcel
have you tried reinstalling (maybe redownloading) gapps. or uninstall play magazines and reinstall from the market?
good luck

Hi Sdmark,
I have attempted to uninstall GP Magazines app using titanium backup, and reinstalling via the playstore. I have also tried a factory reset with a different/older set of gapps with no success.
This issue has been resolved as of 45 mins ago. I have been talking to Google Play store support from Utah (I am from Melbourne, Australia)
after submitting my error logs, the issue seems to have resolved itself automatically.
I had done nothing on the tablet since talking to the support (about 3 hours ago) till 45 mins ago where I just decided to give it a go while sitting on the porcelain throne and no FC this time. So as far as I can tell, the fix was something on their end of things, at least thats what i suspect... the FC happens just as GP Magazines signs in.
*im an idiot, problem is still there in landscape.. didnt even think about the different viewing modes.. so the problem is only happening while landscape.
Thanks the assistance though, very much appreciated.
edit: Please dont close the thread, I have realized that Google Play Magazines does not have the problem when in portrait mode... the moment i go to landscape it crashes... is this a rom issue?
bump! still a problem, 99% instant FC when in landscape mode... (1% is when the magazine is opened from portrait, it sometimes doesnt FC when tilted to landscape.. the moment you leave the magazine and get back to the magazine selection menu in Landscape, it will FC)
pretty much the only reason i pick up this tablet over any other device lying around is for magazine reading
I have no idea. I actually use the magazines app too, and have had no problems with it. I'm using cleanrom.
I've had the same problem, does seem to work for a minute or 2 if I clear all data and reinstall the app ...but after collecting my account data it FC's again - this has been going on for months and Google Play support haven't been able to reproduce or fix the issue for me....really frustrating

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for Android

It seems that an Android port of KOTOR was released. It lists full HID controller support. Has anyone tried sideloading this on the Ouya?

I tried. The app will show the splash screen and crash. It isn't a matter of it not being from the play store either because I have the play store on my ouya. A shame really because I bought it in hopes of getting it on ouya. The only other device of mine it works with is a galaxy s3 with a busted screen.

I tried sideloading it after I installed AOSP 5.0 - Good news. It launches the game. I'm still having trouble with AOSP, so i didn't do much, but it seemed to play ok.
EDIT: I think i figured out why it crashes at startup for other roms. So when i got it running initially on AOSP, it had my ouya plugged into a 1920x1200 monitor and i don't think it knew what to do, so it was running at like 640x480. I then plugged in my ouya to a tv and it started at 1080p. When I tried running Kotor again, it crashed at startup as reported by others.
I added the following to the ini file in /sdcard/Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotor/files/swkotor.ini under [Graphics Options]
Height=480
Width=840
This will allow the game to run. I played for a while, and it seemed ok. It is a bit slow, so we may want to try a lower resolution. The ouya may be getting too dated to play this very well.
One problem I ran into is that the ouya controller doesn't seem to be mapped correctly on AOSP. the triggers were mapped to look left and right as well as switch characters and pause. You have to hold the left trigger half way down to stop the camera from moving and hope it doesnt pause the game or switch characters while you are playing haha. It would be frustrating playing for too long without a fix.
Running fine on cm11 port. Hope this helps.

Google Slides

Hey guys I just got done installing CM 12.1 on my Nexus Player and was doing some testing for work. What I need to do is play a google slide in a loop which doesn't seem to work as far as I can see but just wanted to see if anybody has gotten anything like this working. Google Slides installed fine and it seems to let me edit the presentations fairly easily but there doesn't seem to be a play button anywhere in the app like there is on my phone so I just wanted to ask around before I gave up on it. Thanks guys!!
