Game launcher not working - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I'm having issues with the game launcher everything was working and the games were showing up until just recently. I uninstalled the games and reinstalled them and they appeared for a brief moment then disappeared again. It's really frustrating because I liked having my games all in one place and being able to use the game tools to record my game play.

I'm having the same issue when I install them they are there once I restart. Phone they are gone an can't add back

[Q] Do all apps start to FC when the SD nears death?

I am on SGS #2 atm and im trying to stress test it using the HD video method. I have noticed random apps starting to FC. I guess my real question is, Are there certain apps that are more likely to FC compared to others? I noticed the phone gets REALLY slow at loading as it reaches the drive capacity, however, once i delete all the junk videos, the speed returns to normal. Ive also noticed the FC happens when i open too man apps.
Are there any other clear indicators?
Thanks!
Yes,
It's about to go.
Fair well~
Mine did that not too long ago. I was playing Game Dev Story and it got all laggy. So i reboot and i started getting loads of force closes. COuldnt even boot because LauncherPro kept fc. so i reset to factory and speed came back and no fc so far ( maybe one per day..) Strangely , this came right after flash from ODIN for the first time. Although i only flashed a new KERNEL which is speedmod. I NEVER had any problems before that and had my phone since OCT. Anyways, updated to K12O and still on a stock - rooted JL2. Lets pray for the better!
Yep.
Mine started to force close on my email app. Then when I got it working, I tried to attach a photo to an email when the email and picture gallery crashed. Restarted the phone and I kept getting all kinds of FC's on different apps every 1 minute or so. Reinserted the battery, turned it on and it was all over.
I just want the damn thing to die so i can send it in for a new one from samsung...

Well the last thing that did it for me was I had backed up all my apps with myroot then formatted the internal card. Loaded all my apps back to my phone, then I did a mass update on all the apps at the same time. That's when my phone was unresponsive and FC's occurred consistently until the entire phone crashed.

Monster Madness

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

[App] Anim Mod

Hey, I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but I just purchased and installed App Mod: http://www.appbrain.com/app/anim-mod-*root*/com.jrummy.animation.changer and it is AWESOME! I am running ACS Frozen and it is working great!
When I first installed it and tried to change a transition, it prompted me to install busy box (which I thought I already had ) I did the recommended install and it shut my phone off. I thought there was a problem and that I would have to restore from backup...but when I turned the phone back on...everything was fine. It worked like a charm!
EDIT: **** After about 2 hours of use, the phone shut off and when it rebooted, it was unusable! All apps force closed...had to do a factory reset! Damn....oh well...
Alright, so the first install and crash seems to have been an isolated incident. I flashed ACS Frozen 1.0.2 and installed it right after. I downloaded and applied the flip transition and it has been working fine. It has been only about 13 hours or so, but so far, no problems. I will report back in a few days to let you know how it's working.
It's been 3 days now and still no problems. I think the initial crash was unrelated. I have read many posts about people having issues with all apps force closing after an unplanned reboot when the fs has jounaling turned off. I am not entirely sure, but I think this might have been my issue.
If you are looking to spice up your transitions, I would totally recommend this app.
Thanks.
Nice find will use this thanks
I looked into this app and really like the concept but after looking around in my launcher Go Launcher EX I found it had the animation effects built in for free.

Nexus 6 5.1 issue with real racing 3

Closes after the EA logo with no error. Tried to clear data/cache reinstall nothing works. Using tmobile nexus 6 and i sideloaded 5.1 OTA. Anyone else having this issue?
Did it ever work?
nope. it doesnt work on 5.1.
Didn't work on 5.0.1 either.
---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------
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.

Constant freezing and restarting

One week on 12 with Magisk root and all was fine until yesterday. Phone boots for about 1 1/2 minuets, and freezes. The touchscreen does not respond to input and buttons do not work as well. The phone restart in about a minuet or so. but it's goes straight to the Google bypassing a the bootloader in unlocked,press to pause screen. Restarting the phone in safe mode the phone works fine. I assume it's a rouge app but I don;t know which one.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyway to locate what app is crashing the phone. I did a Malwarebytes scan that took forever because of the rebooting and it did find and remove a "threat" however that did not fix things.
I don;'t want to reset this phone again unless it is the only solution.
Thanks in advance.

If you already found malware... there may be more.
Reload and be careful what you install and download.
I've gone for over a year with Malwarebytes not finding anything... that should be a red flag for you. Clean your act up.
Mind you I do go to some nasty sites... but I'm very careful what I install and download. I'm running a N10+/Pie variant.

I'm a creature of comfort. I've been running the same setup/apps on my Pixel 2XL on Android 11 for sevral years and on this 4a5G on Android 11 for several months now without issue. I've never had a problem. This just started when I switched to 12. I'm half tempted to go back to 11 at this point.

Agreed. Constant firmware upgrades are generally counterproductive especially if the device is fulfilling its mission.
Even Adroid 9 is secure enough to use with no issues.
Lol, you probably should have stopped with Android 10 if possible That's as high as my N10+'s will ever go. Scoped storage was poorly implemented and it seems not needed. Android is suppose to be the alternative to iPhone, not an inferior copycat
Guess Google didn't get the memo...

I know, I have no idea why I switched to 12. I figured the latest and greatest but that is not true at least not yet for the ones like me who need root. Maybe 12 is great for Google as it is seems to be more locked down that previous version. I guess going forward Goole may become just as locke down as Apple.

That's my fear as well as the complete mess they're making getting there. My office app is free and not compatible with scoped storage.
One of the reasons I now have 2 N10+'s is zero confidence in Google Android's immediate future or direction. Google gotten too big for its breeches and needs to be cut down to size.
UPDATE:
Wiped the phone and set it up with a fresh install of 12. After some issues I got it to boot on Friday. I rooted and all wall well until last night when the same thing started to happen. with constant reboots after a few minuets After thinking about what could be causing this I remembered that although installed via backup/restore I opened the app Greenify and gave it root privileges yesterday afternoon. I uninstalled the Greenify app and the phone is back to normal, at least for now. I don't know what it is doing but I assume Greenify is hibernating a vital system app that is causing the phone to freeze and reboot.

Greenify and 3rd party launcher were the 2 apps that I removed after 2 back to back boot loops over 1.5 years ago.
I suspect it was the launcher but Greenify was also a prime suspect. Ditched both, the last load remains fast and stable to this day.
So there's that...

I use Nova launcher as my default launcher and have been since it the day it was released. At first I liked Apex (free) over Nova (free) but I bought the pro of Nova and could not be happier. As for Greenify, just checked and it has not been updated since 2019. Regardless the phone is working with no issue, keeping my fingers crossed.

Lol, nothing like a boot loop to wake you up
I've used Nova launcher with no issues. It was Hyperion I had loaded... paid version. It was glitchy. I'm running stock; Greenify didn't have as much leeway as it did your load did.
Don't know which caused it, not doing another reload to find out. It was one or both together.
I just stick with the stock One UI now as it's the best overall launcher for my N10+...
so I learned
