Didn't work on 5.0.1 either.

I thought I was being blocked by real racing 3 because I did hack that game to get cars and cash. I'm just curious is everyone that's having issues hacked rr3 as well. I'm just curious??
I just tried it on my Nexus 6 running an Android 5.1 Test version of the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3005747 and it crashed my phone immediately when trying to launch.
I've never hacked the game and last played it on my stock Nexus 7 (2013 WiFi) before it was upgraded to 5.x. I just now tried to play the game on my Nexus 7 which is still stock and unrooted, but is now running Android 5.0.2. The game has been showing me notifications quite regularly, tempting me to play, but I grew bored with it after I bought a PS4 and Thrustmaster T80 wheel & pedals.
Anyway, when I launched the game, it was stuck at the EA logo screen for a while, so long that Android popped up a "not responding" dialog. I told it to wait and a short time later it started downloading a 490 MB update package. After the update package completed, the game ran normally and showed me what is new... Then it downloaded another 18 MB update... Then another 7 MB update, and yet another 6 MB update! Then I watched a video to try to earn free gold, until it said I had to install another game to get it. Then I tried to play a time-trial race, and it had to download another 31 MB update. It was starting to get ridiculous, but I was finally able to play a race... Wow, they show ads now while the race is loading and while you pause; I don't remember seeing that before. The sound and music don't work. I confirmed my media sound volume was not low. The servicing is now automatic and forced? That's bizarre. I remember when you could individually service each component like tires, or brakes, independently from repairing crash damage. That seemed a lot more realistic. But perhaps it didn't result in as much in-game virtual-currency transactions from those too impatient to wait.
Anyway, now I remembered why I quit playing this game. They should rename it to "Really Annoying Racing 3" that would be more Realistic...
Even though it seems to work on my tablet running Android 5.0.2, I've uninstalled it. I also removed it from my phone as it didn't work anyway.
I'm gonna go ride one of my sport bikes now.
I prefer GT racing 2 myself.
I am experiencing the same problem after updating to 5.1.
I'm running latest chroma build and my first thought was: maybe it's related to the kernel. So I flashed latest ElementalX. I managed to play one match and after that the game crashed. Damn that's annoying...
Stops after the logo load.

I have the nexus 6 pure and it does the same thing. I can get to the race but then it sends me back to the home page. Totally shuts down. It let me race once and that was it. It worked before the update to 5.1. Thanks.

There was an update and not it supports 2.2 so I went ahead and downloaded it. I am having nothing but issues with it. It plays really choppy. Basically unplayable and it kinda sucks cause it took 20 minutes to download the data so I cant even return it.
Anyone else having issues with this game? I'm running Vegan 5.11
i am having issues with this game too. choppy if it even runs at all, and that's when it's not causing my entire tablet to freeze up.
My advice: wait to download this one until they have fixed the massive amounts of bugs that are floating around in it.
I agree, right now I have waisted $10
Also choppy and crashing. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy this yet.
This makes me sad, I had high hopes for this.
Did any of you try restarting your tablet after downloading? I downloaded and tried to run it and it was very laggy and was no good so I restarted and it works perfectly. I play it all the time with not one issue.
Since the last update, i've had no more problems with this game.

I did exactly that. In fact, the crappy part is that you can only get it with the supplement for VegAn-TAB 5.11. Otherwise, it is not visible on the market or available through the Tegra App. However, the supplement kept killing my audio and making my device starting hissing out of the blue as if it were possessed.
I have a service emailinto the company to see if I can get a refund or if they can send me an apk.
It sucks. It was nice, but I had to sacrifice audio or video. It never played 100%.
I downloaded an updated version. And now its like butter. Game is ok. I prefer gun bros
Its free from the amazon app store.
Dont even know it it works, ill update once i find out.
get it while its still free
====================================
So after downloading a playing there seems to be a few issues.
Should be noted Im Running Vegan-G
Game works.
Looks very low res
The background does not render only active areas are rendered.
i.e. first level, the only thing i can see is a strip of grass and the rest of the UI. everything else is black
Game freezes after a few levels...
Pretty much on par with what everyone else is saying...
Game runs fine on my Nexus S, including the background...
i was honestly expecting more from a known dev like Popcap
After it crashed my tablet the first time I tried to play it, the game runs perfectly. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 if anyone is curious. Now just if Popcap would bring tablet support to chuzzle.
Amazan dont supply my region where i live. maybe someone can post apk for Plants vs Zombies.
Thanks.
Been waiting for this one to hit android. Awesome that it is free for today.
I think because it is really a paid app, you are out of luck getting it posted here for download. Usually the mods frown on that sort of thing.

That would be against XDA's rules.
My whole family is addicted to this game. I have it on Mac and I installed Wine on my Ubuntu laptop just for this game. I was really looking forwards to it on my android devices.
Unfortunately, like some other thinks, actually getting it is not as good as the desire.
The app the make you download for the Android store is a pain. It's slow and clunky. Looks like they are using an internal flash or Java or something. The actual download was pretty slow too.
It runs on the G-Tablet, but it is not tablet optimized. It's just larger. Some effects are a little slow. Definitely not optimized for the G-Tablet's hardware.
Update: I'm running CM 7.03.
Worse than that, it seems to crash (freeze) after about 2 levels. I need to play more to see if it is just time, or a certain game event or action.
Edit: Since flash works, you can play the on-line version as long as you have 'net access, but it's only the first few levels. Just go to pop cap games.
It seems to just freeze a lot for me too. Sorta sad. Seems like popcap can do better.
Doesn't work for me
Unplayable for me--opens sometimes, but freezes or crashes before the actual game ever loads. I'm running Vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's kernel. So disappointed!
A good reason to play with different mods/kernels.
Force Closes and reboots tablet. Is anyone running CM7 playing this?
I'm running a cm7 nightly build from a few days ago. The game plays a bit for me but randomly freezes all the time (the music keeps playing), requiring a force close.
I pulled the .apk from my phone with the intent of copying it to my Dell Streak without having to infect the Streak with the Amazon Store.
Plants vs. Zombies checks for the Amazon App, and that the Amazon app has your Amazon user ID and password. If this check fails, it freezes with a black screen, and may be continuing to use battery. It also seems to need an internet connection to authenticate, at least initially.
If you do not want the Amazon app, or for some reason it becomes inoperable, apparently, all purchased Amazon apps will stop working.
I find this totally unacceptable, and IANAL, but this seems to me like at least pretty close to illegal "Tying".
Besides, at least so far, neither of the 2 tied apps seem to work very well. I recommend against installing either app at this time.
This is the worst (OK, not as bad as the Sony rootkit fiasco, but close) kind of DRM/Defective by Design
I hope somebody that can un-dex fixes this, but until then, as far as I am concerned, we don't really have PvZ for Android.
Unistalled the App and the Amazon Store App.

Same here. I can play one level fine. I go to the next level and it freezes before I beat that level.
Is there a fix? I was playing with my processor speed, but so far, I haven't found one that will play the game well. I don't know if processor speed matters that much, but I will keep messing with it.
Edit:
Processor speeds between 600mHz and 1200mHz don't help. The game crashes for me every time on level 1-9.
It's locking up for me too after a couple of levels in.
I'm running Vegan.
Running TNTLite 4.4.0. Game keeps randomly freezing, sometimes even before getting to the intro screen. Can't really play it.
Vegan 5.1.1 here, and same issues.
Freezes partway through a level, or right after finishing a level.
Works perfect on my Samsung GalaxyS though.

Wow. I just did the same thing. I re-installed the Amazon app store to get PvZ and it told me I had updates to the 3 angry birds I had previously installed through Amazon market in the first week it released. I installed pvz and updated the angry birds apps. Pvz crashes as soon as you try to click on options and after 5 tries to play I made it ababout 30 seconds into the second lvl it locks up. Uninstalled pvz and the Amazon market app. Then I went to check out the updates to my angry birds and it tells me I need to install the Amazon app.
This was not an issue before, the update that was done only made it so I can't play my games without having the Amazon app installed, which by the way always is running in the background.
F~ those guys dude. This skates on the border of illegal and is completely annoying. Way to ruin a good thing Amazon.
Thankfully I have my angry birds backed up with titanium.
works for me using bos 3.3.I will try to play more levels so far I have played 6 levels with no problem. First time i tried it frooze my tablet. had to turn it off then try again. works fine for now.
if only I could get around the bos 3.3 wifi error...
still having troubles with this game. everything else works so well on aosp.
Running Vegan Ginger and a couple freezes and FC's later, it seems to have smoothed out. Works just fine on G2x.
I have no issue with the Amazon AppStore being on here
No dice on BoS/HC 2.4. Installs fine, starts up fine, then freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? While playing Madden Mobile it lagged quite a bit.
Yep! I have encryption disabled on mine and I have been seeing a lot of stuttering in games. I am not very happy with the performance I am seeing.
could also be that those games are not update to work with 5.0 yet. I haven't got my phone yet but if this is the case with most games, I will be disappointed.
I've been playing Soul Calibur (on sale for $4!!! Go go go!) and I was expecting it to lag. It didn't in fact the overall experience was awesome. That is why I wanted a Nexus phablet!
haven't experienced any game lag with Kingdom Rush Origins.
I'm seeing lag and stutters on Plauge Inc. and Asphalt 8 so far. I haven't tested other games as of yet. It's getting annoying. I might wipe everything and re-flash the stock image to see if it helps at all. What are you guys running right now? I'm rooted and un-encrypted on a 64GB Cloud White.
It could also be the apps themselves like Prod1702 suggested. I'm going to do a comparison with my co-workers N6 before I flash.
Update 1: I'm also seeing the stutters on the boot animation, co-worker is not on his 64GB MB. He is rooted and encrypted and has not changed DPI. I'm going to reflash stock and see if the issue persists.

Stock 32gb
Okay so another update for you OP. I re-flashed with the stock image and did a (manual) full wipe of the userdata using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Also did root and removed encryption again with some manual flashing.
So far no stuttering in Plague Inc like it was before. Going to re-download Asphalt 8 to make sure. If that tests well, I'm going to slowly add things back to see if I can find what caused the problem.
Update 1: Added all google accounts and exchange accounts back, also re-installed my android wear stuff so far. Still no stutter, even after a power off and power on. Perhaps the image from the factory or the OTA update caused some issues with performance. Flashing the image from google via Nexus Root Toolkit seems to have fixed it so far. I'll post if the stuttering returns. Otherwise, it looks good now.

Ill have to try flashing the stock image again too then. I am still using the encryption as I dont have any performance issues in homescreens and such, but most of my games lag pretty bad. it feels like they are running between 20-24 fps all the time. Rebooting doesnt help, closing all apps doesnt help. I was going to try removing encryption but it looks like people have the problem even with that. Ill just have to try reflashing the stock ROM and see if the lag goes away.
I just made a thread about this. Just purchased the new Gta Chinatown Wars for Android and it lags like crazy while driving around. Yet on my N5 it's perfectly smooth.
I'm starting to get real worried here
Hi!
I have an Asus ME176C, it had Android 4.4 on it and a few days ago, I did a factory reset. Everything went fine, first time setup, it's working, cool. After a few minutes, I got a notification about system update, which was strange, because I had the latest one 30 minutes earlier, before the reset. Even stranger, it wasn't a simple firmware update, it was the Android 5.0 update. I've heard nothing about it, Google still can't find anyhing about it and as I said, when I checked for updates, nothing has showed up and now all of a sudden, it's here. Alright, I was pretty happy, updated. Update went fine too, now I have a Lollipop and everything is working.
Now here comes the fun part. After 8-10 minutes of more intense using (and I'm not talking about an hour of 100% CPU usage, just not a stand by state, you know), the app crashes and the tablet restarts. Maybe it has something to do with the Intel GPU, because it happened only when I was playing games (Real Racing 3, CSR Racing and The Room Two) and was watching stream with the Twitch.tv app, though there were no problem, when I was watching videos on Youtube or somewhere else. My other idea was overheating, but on 4.4 I used to play much more than this 10 minutes and it doesn't even feel extremely hot.
Does anybody has any idea? Maybe Lollipop is not compatible (yet?) with Intel chipsets?
Edit: Spotify made it restart after 15 minutes. Not related to GPU, not hot at all. What could cause this?
Hi,
After upgrading to 6.0 Preview 3 I've noticed sometimes the phone becomes seriously laggy, like the whole phone starts going slow mo. But anyway, more noticeably when ever I seem to watch videos the sound will carry on as normal but the image just freezes, if I try to load a video from the Photos app its a nightmare I gave to play/pause click Info come back out of it to catch up its annoying. Anyone else noticed this issue or just me?
Nexus 6 Android 6.0 Preview 3 rooted and flash clean via fastboot.
sounds like a reflaah would be in order. ive been on m since it came out, 1, 2, and now 3. i dont gave a single issue with it, nothing like you described at all. or, it could be user errors. anyways, probably best to reflash m.
