[Motorola Atrix HD] Outlaw92:
The games which I have tried personally are(I'm listing all the graphics intensive games here not the ones which are like Candy Crush):

- Asphalt 8 ( A great fun racing game with some breathtaking visuals. Overall this game runs fine on AHD. Can sometimes lag a bit when running other apps in the background but overall the experience is lovely)

- Leo's Fortune ( One of the most top rated and liked games on mobile platform. The game runs without a hitch. Can sometimes stutter on levels where there is snowfall or rain but it can be tolerated. I just loved playing it on my phone)

- Dungeon Hunter ( A lovely RPG. It performed okayish when I started playing it but after few levels it just stuttered randomly at some points which I couldn't bear and so didn't play it further on the AHD)

- Plants vs Zombies 1 & 2 ( They both run great. Love playing them every now and then)

- Riptide GP 1 & 2 ( Awesome Jet ski racing games. The visuals are amazing for a game which acquires such a low space on your phone. Try them out)

- GT Racing 2 ( Runs fine for the most part. Performance can be compared to Asphalt 8)

- Real Racing 3 ( I played this game an year ago on my AHD and the performance was not so good. It is such a great game, probably the best racing game on a mobile platform right now but for me it stuttered every now and then due to which I didn't play it further on AHD. I recently asked a member here about RR3 performance in CM11 thread since he mentioned he was playing it. Maybe its gotten better I think I should try it out again)

I've played lots of other games as well but I think these are enough to get the thread going. Please share your experience as well.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Justatechie:
- Modern Combat 5 on this phone makes it feel that its getting really old. GFX aren't great (pixilated with textures) and its laggy too, the problem was starting the game or hoping it doesnt crash while doing a very intense level. I ran this game in Blisspop 2.2 (very stable and quick btw) and was surprised that it ran that bad.

- Madden Ultimate Team Mobile (It was a huge problem to start the game even in stock it was a problem it would just freeze and reboot) Cm11 I had better luck it would crash when loading but would load the game when I was lucky enough. Playing the game was okay too, wasn't all impressed or that since its a sports game. I think the problem is when its getting alot of data from the internet for managing the ultimate team, it would just crash there. When using Cm12 and Blisspop (especially Blisspop) It loads more often than not and managing the team would still be an issue, but you must load it one step at a time and not all at once, good enough. Best tip is to restart this device and then just run it, before other apps try to run.

Mincecraft- It just runs the game as if the phone was in the mid range category and im fine with that. Cm12 and Blisspop run it much better thus a slightly better view distance seems fine before the device lags when you put the view distance higher. Cm11 and lower (including stock) just take it down a notch and it runs fine.

I could understand why its now in the lower part of the spectrum and is compared to the moto g of last year and the moto e of this year. (judging from benchmark rankings, just slight differential)

The newer devices will always have some type of edge because it processes things much better due to the chipset architecture, management, optimization etc....

Here is the sample abreupdate.zip which you can flash prior to the ROM.

It's signed and contains latest apps. I made this flashable .zip using ZIPme.

It is useful before flashing a ROM and can be suitably called 'Must Have Root Apps'.

I cracked the screen on my O2 xda mini s, so I bought a replacement screen from Ebay. I followed the step-by-step instructions in the service manual, and managed to get it to start, however, the screen is unresponsive, and fades to white when pressed, then fades back to the O2 logo when released. Can anyone recommend a good place to send it to be repaired?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
Hello XDA,

If you've ever tried to theme or modify SecContacts on lollipop, you've undoubtedly realized that it recompiles, but does not work when pushed back to your device. Today I'm going to show you how to fix that. I've been holding off releasing this information for awhile, but what the hell, here it is, exclusively from Alliance...

***I am not responsible for any loss of data***

***or damage to your device resulting from this mod***​

In order for this to work, your ROM will need to have signature validation disabled. If you do not know how to do so,

A) There are plenty of guides on XDA that will teach you. This is not one of them.

B) Why are you in a developers' forum?

Moving on....

All you need to do is open the AndroidManifest file in your decompiled SecContacts, search for:

android:authorities="@string/file_provider_authorities"

...and change it to:

android:authorities="com.android.contacts.files"

Once you've done that, make any other changes you want, recompile (keeping the new manifest), push to your device, and voila! Working SecContacts.

Remember, you heard it here first, and you heard it from Alliance. Enjoy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ale95:
[MENTION=293887]Morningstar[/MENTION] A lot of thanks for share, is fully working :good::o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
There's no point in making a video tutorial, when it would only show a single text value being changed. It's worked for every single other person who's tried it, so try again. Make sure that you have signature validation disabled on your ROM, and that you're only copying the original META-INF folder back when you recompile, and keeping the new manifest.

After you check all that and try again, if you're still having problems, upload your manifest, but I strongly suspect the problem is one of the things I mentioned...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starbucks2010:
I'm trying to mod the SecContacts_NoteBanded.apk from a SG Note Edge (5.0.1 BOC6) but my modded apk is not recognized by the phone.

The icon is always that Android instead of contacts icon like the original apk. (permissions are set correctly). I use Tickle My Android 10.1 to decompile/recompile the apk and I always select "Recompile App With Original Signature".

I changed the android:authorities to "com.android.contacts.files" but always the same issue.

Any help is highly appreciated.

PS. In AndroidManifest.xml I have 2 more lines with android:authorities and I don't know if these lines should be also modified or not.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
If you're recompiling "with original signature", I'd guess it's pushing the original manifest back, as there's no way of adding the original signature to an altered manifest....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starbucks2010:
But from where is he taking the original manifest? The only manifest is the modified one from the decompiled apk folder.

Maybe is a problem of my tool.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
I'm not familiar with the specifics of that tool, but if it is in fact recompiling 'with original signature', then it has to be storing the original manifest somewhere and copying it back after recompiling. Give it a try with regular apktool and see what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] balla48801:
I am having trouble. I am using the latest apktool. The file is SecContacts_Note_USA.apk. The ROM has signature verifcation disabled. I can decompile and recompile with no modifications and still have the issue. Also it decompiles and recompiles with no errors. This is on the verizon note4 lollipop rom.

I thought when I found this thread I had struck gold. Still no luck though. I modified the androidmanifest.xml as described above. It was in need of the modification as per the OP. I made sure I did not replace the newly modified xml with the old one. Also I copied the META file from the original apk to the newly modified apk. When I flash it in a zip or add it to my ROM I get no dialer. If I try to install it from system/priv-app/ I get parsing error.

The wierd thing is if I flash stock seccontacts it works fine and then I can flash a modified version over top of it and it works fine. Until you try and restore from a backup and its gone again. Just cant understand what im doing wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
Please post a logcat of the parsing error, and with the dialer not showing up (this one may or may not show any errors).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] balla48801:
here is the logcat

And here is the manifest after I edited as per OP

D/ResourcesManager( 6133): creating new AssetManager and set to /system/priv-app/SecContacts_Note_USA/SecContacts_Note_USA.apk

W/PackageParser( 6133): No path, pathPrefix, or pathPattern for <path-permission>: path-permission at /system/priv-app/SecContacts_Note_USA/SecContacts_Note_USA.apk Binary XML file line #796

[MENTION=293887]Morningstar[/MENTION].......Hey bro. Need to see if you can shed some light on this.

Here is what the AndroidManifest looks like:

This is on a Samsung J7. For some reason its not showing the dialer/contacts at all. I'm thinking that "maybe" its a apktool issue. Not too sure.

Do you have any ideas? I'm going to try different version of apktool.jar tomorrow to see if it resolves it. If it does I will post the results.

EDIT: Major brain fart. Lol. Forgot to disable signature checks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] This_dude:
I pretty much have the same error but with the tmobile version N910T. Did you ever get this resolved? If so, what steps did you take?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] balla48801:
Yeah I did. For some reason I had to have apktool sign the apk. Copying the manifest and meta from original file did not work for me for some reason. After making the changes from the op and then having apktool sign the problem is resolved atleast for me. I also have signature checks disabled in services.jar.
