Gameloft Games

Guys anyone noticed about Gameloft Games "Unfortunately the Application stopped?"

Games tested on my end:

BIA2

Modern Combat Sandstorm

Asphalt 5

could it be because of the 2 points touch and not multi touch?

Games install and download data over wifi with no problem and runs flawlessly but in few minutes or touches it stopped.

custom recovery

Hi friendz,

Right now I have stock recovery that was preinstalled so

Should I flash v5 cwm recovery image as I see many apps

Are incompatible with custom recovery....,??

Btw it wud not be useful to me unless I get a custom Rom for my device,..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mithun shetty:
I have downloaded and played many gameloft games including asphalt 7, dark knight rises, amazing spider man, wild blood, BIA 2 FREE+, gt racing motor academy free+..

BTW, I edited my build.prop file,

ro.product.model=GT-I9100G

just see to it that you have more than 200mb free ram before playing games..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] web_lover:
Oh yes thats wright but what about internal memory coz its still being eaten away by apps and games :(

anyone have find a solution regarding internal memory/storage
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
3 solution are there which i can suggest you

depend on how much space you want you can select metod to use

first try to understand os partition

we have total 4gb space out of which 2.5 gb is available for use

/cache 512mb cant use

/data ~ 300mb one can use

/system ~200mb one can use

/internal sd card 2 gb one can use

/external sd card max 32 gb u can put and use

1.method one

generally applications which we install goes in data partition

one can not install application into system partition

so if you want to use that system partition space

convert most application that u use to system application by use of links2sd

click on user application in links2sd and select convert to system application

application will be moved from data partion to system partition

so freeing some space fore installling more application in data partition

remember that not all application work when one convert them to system application

in my case i was not able to use opera,mx player,locus so converted back to user one

and when u do factory reset these applications (system ) remain intact

2.second method

one can convert intenal 2gb storage to phone

Universal patch for resizing Data in phones for MTK6577

http://ge.tt/2fKQeSS

Most (99%) on the phone MTK6577 Data section has 512MB of memory, a built-Fat-section of 2GB.

With this patch we 2GB and 512MB Fat-section of 2GB.

The patch is universal for all types of phones MTK6577.

The action of the patch is based on replacing the standard extended partition MBR (EBR1) and

reformatting the partition cache, data and Fat-section.

3.third method

swaping internal and external sd card

so if u put 32 gb external memory card and swamp it

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
Nilesh, have you tried it on your unit, as I have read before that someone had a problem with it, he losses the ability of mounting his external sdcard.

no i have not tried it but other two 1st and 3rd i tried

if u swap external 32 gb card we get lots of space

but prob is when u install more and more applications on phone

they tend to run in background eating ram , that's the nature of android its not like windows (only applications run which we select or run)

i prefer snappy phone with minimum application

i also freeze google maps as it always eats 30 mb ram and un freeze it when i needed links2sd is best for this very light and simple
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] toxic77:
yup its working, but the total space is only 1.47 gb, then restored my cwm backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
which recovery u r using ?

according to that use desired backup and restore phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] toxic77:

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Do you know how can I make the sd card detected again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
cwm only mount for flashing only in the recovery mode

cwm mount nothing to do when we boot in full system afaik

just ask assistance from wong Wong yuweng <yuweng@hotmail.com>
