[Q] Game compatibility with CM11S 38R and CM11 Nightlies - PAD and September builds - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is my first post, please be kind. I really didn't want to be "that guy" and post a thread like this... but afters weeks of searching multiple forums (including xda), googling, testing, contacted game dev support, etc... I find myself desperate enough to create a thread about the compatibility of one (notoriously stubborn) game and CM11 Nightlies. I believe this is the only community that could possibly shed some light on the issue.
Game: Puzzle and Dragons (North American version)
ROM(s): Any ROM based on CM11 with nightly changes from September on.
Result: The game will go into a data download loop at first load, and/or FC after initial data download.
I'll try to rattle off all the details I've come across in my research. Puzzle and Dragons (which will be referred to as PAD from here on) will not run if it detects Xposed, I acknowledge this and it is unrelated to this specific issue. The japanese version of PAD also does not run if it detects root, certain build.prop values, and also had a data download loop bug which was related to Date/Time/Timezone. Also unrelated, as my problem is with the less-strict North American version.
I have flashed countless CM11 based ROMs and have determined that there was something changed in the nightly commits starting in September that is causing the problem. Every instance I've found of a user posting about this has reverted back to previous builds, been ignored, told the game developer must fix (which I happen to agree with), etc. I'm not really looking for a fix so much as trying to understand the change that is causing the issue and whether I should keep my eye on the game developer's updates or on the CM11 nightlies, and what to look for. The reason why I have been trying so hard to resolve this, and the reason why I've posted this in the OnePlus forums specifically is because I have one of the OPOs that has very bad touch screen issues and I have been trying to run the latest and greatest fixes for the touchscreen. I am hoping that this community would be less likely to give me the lecture about running "nightly, unstable builds and expecting everything to work". Unfortunately - PAD is the one stupid game that I play on my phone and I'm embarrassed to admit that I've put far too much time into it.
TLDR: I have an embarrassing game addiction, bad touchscreen, and a need to understand things.

Thread was ignored but I figured I'd add more information for any of the others in my situation that may be googling their hearts out, as I have been.
The bug in PAD is present on the official 38R OTA update from OnePlus. I have contacted the game developers again in hopes that they will recognize the issue now that it is present on a stock, manufacturer provided ROM.

thanks for the info. i hope this is resolved quickly... have to resort to tablet for now as im too lazy to revert to 33R just to play puzzle & dragons!

This has occurred on my nexus 5 using an aosp based ROM. However the ROM also has features that cm ROMs tend to have which is why I believe it is affected as well. And just like you, only the Sept builds. I too wish to solve this as I'd like to update my ROM.

I received a response from Gungho and it certainly was not comforting. I think the only way we will see a fix to their terrible DRM checks for later CM11 builds is if people make enough noise.
My Support Request:
My phone is a One+ One running completely stock with their recent C
> M11S OTA update from the manufacturer. PAD will not start due to a \"Downlo
> ading Data\" loop. It repeats the process indefinitely. This was present
> in all CM11 based ROMs with any changes present from September builds. Now
> that this is an issue with a MANUFACTURER approved/provided STOCK ROM, pleas

Please be aware that certain custom firmwares may cause issues.
Also, as previously mentioned, our app has been tested on the standard, officially-released OS. We cannot guarantee that the app will function properly if the OS has been altered.

are you still on 38R? if so, want to try having it as a system app (use titanium backup) and see if it'll work?

I've also reverted to 33R
The addiction is too strong on this one
Hope gets fixed soon

I have this issue too! I contacted GungHo and they gave me this n00b answer. I wish I knew this before updating to 38R

In case anyone was wondering, the update to PAD (7.1.2) does not resolve the issue.

Does not work. PAD closes immediately.

Could anybody using stock rom (e.g. 44S) feedback to Gungho? Since CM11S is the stock rom for Oneplus One, Gungho might try to support it......

some people already did the feedback to gungho stating they have the 44S which is the official ROM. They answered the same noobish thing ...
If you are not aware, there's a fix allowing you to play PAD even with a 38R+ version or any other ROM :
get the libc.so from a 33R version (from /system/lib) and copy it over your version from the 44S for example, and PAD will run ... BUT you will lose the sensors like screen rotation ...
I tried 44S and Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 3 and it is the same ... I don't know if it is a bug in the AOSP since PA is not CM based anymore ...

so its still not fixable ? even after all those updates of pad ?

Hello,
A complete fix has been found 3 days ago, you have to get the libc.so from slimsaber.
You can grab it on the oneplus official forum someone posted it here -> forums.oneplus.net/threads/pad.201634/page-3 sorry you have to copy paste :/

Hi,
I found that upgrading my CM11 nightly to CM12 nightly solves this problem, maybe for those using CM 11S it also works. But DON'T USE CMupdater to upgrade, because you also have to upgrade gapps at the same time, so use recovery to flash both CM12 and gapps-lp before reboot.

[q] radio help!!! :(

hey everyone,
i just updates my desire s with a new rom (not mentioning the name) and my phone is acting kinda crazy... as in the calls are not getting connected properly and half the time people complain they arent able to contact me either... the problem is im not much familiar about this stuff... bt, have a feeling it might be the problem with the radio. i tried restoring to older backups. no difference and realised that the radio doesnt get backed up.
i need help... does anyone know what to do about this...???
thank you in advance...

Relax.
And stop with the sad smileys...
The radio is not affected by a ROM flash, it is on a separate partition and you don't have to fiddle around with it if the problem has presented itself only after flashing a new ROM and was working alright previously.
Also, there is no disgrace in mentioning the ROM name, so please do tell us the following details:
Are you Revolutionary S-off or did you unlock using HTC Dev site?
What ROM are you currently using? Is this the first ROM you have flashed, coming from the stock one, or have you tried out other custom ROMs before this?
Let us know the answers to the above questions and we'll try our best to help.
Yeah, please tell us the name of the ROM, we'll be able to give you better help. Some AOSP ROMs (Oxygen, BlackICE) have calling issues. Also, as enimaamit said, a ROM does not change the Radio, it needs to be flashed separately (something i don't recommend you do). The problem is probably in the ROM

Yup. And thanks for that additional bit of info about Oxygen and BlackIce.
And another possibility is that this could be his first custom ROM (based on an official Sense ROM), and he might be coming from a stock ROM which he just unlocked using HTC Dev, so the kernel could still be stock... (if he didn't flash boot.img separately), and this might be allowing him to boot, but causing other issues like the one he just described.... I have an uncanny feeling that might be it!
I don't know, just letting loose the Sherlock inside
well, this wasnt my first custom rom... i have flashed from stock rom->cm nightly builds->oxygen->icecream sandwich 4.0 alpha builds to the current wp 7.0.4 rom by mmmcfc... i used to use his previous version-wp7.0.2 which was awesome and gave me no problems but, ever since i updated it, i have been having this problem. i tried flashing back to other roms as well and still kinda the same issue. and im on revolutionary s-off...
hope these answers are helpful... thanks for the reply guys...
EDIT: also, i used to have similar issues when i was in the stock rom at the very beginning which got solved later when i recieved an official update...i.e. before i s-off'd my phone...

He He He... guess i'm not much of a sleuth then!!
Are you sure the call drop issue is not a network provider problem {since it is happening on other ROMs as well, and it wasn't there before (your radio has been the same all along BTW)}
Have you tried putting your SIM in a basic phone and trying out whether the problem persists....this could indicate a network problem. I remember a few months ago Airtel service had gone to the dogs and everyone on Airtel (especially in Delhi) was writhing in agony...
Secondly, try using another carrier's SIM card in your DS and see if the problem still persists...
sry...i think u got me wrong der... i used to face the same problem on stock rom while i purchased the phone but, after updating it,it was pretty much and i never faced any problems until now. and i dont think its the carriers problem as im able to use the same sim card on a basic phone without any issues... and other users on the same carrier around me aint facing any problems with the network either... so, i guess im pretty much stuck and back to square one... :S

Yeah, sorry man the rom hasn't been updated in ages and I have no plans on updating it. Unfortunately this is a really forsaken device in terms of the level of developer support and support from HTC and Snapdragon as a a whole. I've moved on to another phone and I recommend you move on from it too.

bugs
It sometimes reboots, usually when I am unlocking the phone. Seems like every internet browser is lagging hard, that's the main reason why I changed the ROM. Anyway, CarbonROM with android 4.3.1 is working fine for me and I find it the best (as the dwl links for PAC-MAN and CM11 are broken). Plus it has Halo.
Gapps won't install on Carbon for HTC Ville s3
Hi there,
I just flashed the Carbon ROM for my HTV Ville S3 and it worked perfectly. However, I am not able to flash the GAPPS, I tried with the four GAPPS versions for this ROM and still not working. I am getting this error:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip [...] error flashing zip [...]
Thank you in advance for your help
Hello Team,
I have installed ROM in my HTC One S villec2 model. The ROM is just so awesome and light and I thank team for the great work ahead. Waiting for Carbon to launch Android 5 for villec2 the same way ASAP
There are few issues that I have seen in last 24 hours since I installed it:
1) Camera is not capturing Videos. Though it shows it is recording them, but never saves them in Gallery.
2) Intermittent reboot. I really don't know the pattern or steps to reproduce the issue.
3) Keyboard is getting crashed very often.(This could also be due to wrong gapps that I might have installed, please provide link in case).
4) Screenshot is not working.
If there is any latest patch to fix these issues, please let me know so that I can enjoy this great piece of work by team CARBON.
Regards
AB

Most stable lollipop rom

Hey guys I've had my g3 rooted for a couple months now and I have yet to find a really good ROM to use cm12 was to buggy and grew tired of nightlies. Liquidsmooth was really good only issue I had was Skype and hangouts. I'm on candy5 latest build now and I'm getting a lot of glitches, force closes, etc. I've clean installed the last 2 roms and experience problems. If Liquidsmooth didn't have that Skype issue I would probably stuck to it. Any ROM suggestions?

For the most part, all the AOSP Roms like the ones you received will have similar bugs until they are ironed out over time. The least buggy Roms are those based of the lg ROM. Right now there are only 2 stock lg lollipop Roms. Both of them are very stable however they're basically just rooted versions of the stock lollipop ROM.
I see thanks for the reply can you link me 2 the 2.

[ROM][STOCK][BUMP'd] LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 (+ extras)
TekROM - D850 - Stock 20f - Lollipop - Deodex/Root/Busybox
Keep in mind both still have all that carrier bloat we love to hate. I use the first rom without issue and debloated it myself using titanium backup.
I'm surprised we don't have more roms. It's a great phone but I feel that support is lacking.

It's because the development took and still takes lots of work. The devs had a lot of work just to root Lollipop, then to flash twrp. But I also do think that between all roms available (including KK roms and LP roms) we don't have as many as other devices from the same gen have. Heck, I had my Galaxy S3 and there were ports for everything. Can't complain though, between the stock ones and illusion (talking my preferences), I feel complete.

For KitKat, there's plenty of ROMs available, partially due to the fact that porting D855 ROMs was cake (swap out kernel and modules, and you're golden). That's why there weren't too many D850-specific ROMs.
On LP, there's a new handshake process between ROM and kernel, so we can't do that...yet. I feel like "development" on ROMs as a result is going to be hindered, since there's hope that the process will get cracked, then we can just port straight from D855 with little effort. Otherwise, if we have to mess about with the D85020f base, it'll take much more time.

@Spz0 has been talking about this as of late in his OA855-5 ROM thread, as he is readying to move the ROM to Lollipop.
The defacto LG standard ROM of many, CloudyG3 by @Cloudyfa, also will inevitably jump on this bandwagon, but he hasn't been spotted in a while. He's probably just busy or something.
Not sure why this thread even exists.. this subject has been discussed ad nauseam in the Lounge.
@Nexus.S the question you've asked is one that will never offer ONE end all solid answer. It is truly a case of "to each his own". You need to continue doing what you were doing and try obe that fits all of your needs.
There are literally hundreds of users that have commented on every rom available for this device. Asking there will get you quicker answers, rather then waiting for people to find your thread and post something witty.
Threads of this type end up being nothing more then, OT threads.

I can also vouch for the first one. In fact, I was far less aggressive with debloating and have skipped xposed for now... and it's more stable, better battery life and (IMO) a better UI.

True. For some it's more the 'personal process' of discussion with others that seems important, and less the strict data/direct content of the discussion.

What is the difference between Cyanogen OS and CM

As the title says, I'm wondering about the differences between the CM custom ROM and CyanogenOS. I know (or I think I know) COS is what came on the 1+1 from the factory and that CM is the custom ROM can be flashed on it (I'm using CM12.1 on my Falcon 1st Gen Moto G). Come February or March I'll be in the market for a new phone and I'm highly interested in the 1+1 so I'm doing my research and learning all I can now, before I make a purchase. If I buy one from Swappa (which is where I'll get it when I do make my purchase), I'd like to know some info about COS and what would be the pros and cons over CM12.x (or any of the other custom ROMs out there).
Thanks for any info you can give.

They're essentially the same ROM, but different. COS is considered the stable branch and is the stock ROM for this device, CM is the nightly branch, it's more up to date but more prone to bugs.
I dont know why there is a disscussion about something like this???
I looked before i post but i think i am right !!!
Where shoud be the diffrent ???
COS is not CyanogenMod !! It is Color OS!!!
Only "CM" stands for Cyanogen*MOD* i dont know why someone starts somthing like this but ... there are only diffrent betwen Nightlys and Stable!!!
Like -> CM11 or CM11s OR CM12.1 -> CM12.1S
and if u think im not right, look by ure self on CM official website for Stuff like COS or else show me there what kind of ROM names COS12 or else there!!
The International OPO came with CM11S and not with this Fakenames someone gives to get more attention!

Lmao. Sorry, but you're so wrong. You can't have looked very hard or very well. This device did initially come shipped with CM11S, that's what they used to call the official firmware for this phone. But ever since Lollipop they renamed the official firmware for this phone to Cyanogen OS, it's abbreviated to COS12 or COS12.1 depending on which build is being referenced, and it's abbreviated even further to COS. There's no such thing as CM12S or CM12.1S, even though some people mistakenly refer to COS12 or COS12.1 by those names.
The official name for the latest firmware is indeed Cyanogen OS 12.1, but that doesn't mean people don't refer to it unofficially as COS12.1, or that they're wrong in doing so. We see common abbreviations all over the world. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in America is commonly known as the FBI. The European Organization for Nuclear Research is commonly known as CERN. And Cyanogen OS 12.1 is commonly known as COS12.1.
CM does stand for CyanogenMod, and COS stands for Cyanogen OS. He's asking about the difference between the two different versions. CyanogenMod has never been the official firmware for this phone so you're dead wrong there. You might want to check your facts before posting in such a manner and accusing someone of looking for attention. It is in fact you who is incorrect.
Do you actually even own this device or know anything about it?
Oh Yes i have a OPO and i am running with COS (Color OS) hmm......
Okay i found it ..... but i never saw it before maybe while i am only on custom roms! In europen forums.......i saw threads about COS "Cyanogen OS" but i thougth about fakes!
NVM Youre right an i am false!......
But in the CyanogenMod site (the have cyanogenmod site and cyanogenos site) the ROMS are called CM12.1 or CM12.1s if u dont belive me i will show u the links!
EDIT: And please dont tell me it wasnt the Official OS for OPO witch OPO we talk about???
The Europen one came OFFICIAL with CM!!

There isn't a single mention of CM12.1S in either of the sites, because there's no such thing as CM12.1S. Go and look yourself, there's no mention of it anywhere.
Plus, you're getting confused between the entities, let me explain it:
CM = CyanogenMod
This is the community run project, and has never been the official firmware for this phone).
CM11S / COS12(.1) = Cynogen Inc
This is the corporate branch, this is that only official firmware that has ever been come with this phone).
Therefore the international (or European as you call it) model of this phone never came with CM (CyanogenMod) as the stock firmware because that's the community run project, not the corporate branch that supplies the firmware for this device.

Okay i found it ..... but i never saw it before maybe while i am only on custom roms! In europen forums.......i saw threads about COS "Cyanogen OS" but i thougth about fakes!
NVM Youre right an i am false!......
But in the CyanogenMod site (the have cyanogenmod site and cyanogenos site) the ROMS are called CM12.1 or CM12.1s if u dont belive me i will show u the links!
EDIT: And please dont tell me it wasnt the Official OS for OPO witch OPO we talk about???

I got this device last week (it got shipped to Belgium, Europe) and I can confirm that it got shipped with CyanogenOS 12, not with CyanogenMod. So, unfortunately, you're wrong.

Heisenberg is correct in his statements regarding the firmware which ships on the OPO, however, there are distinct differences between the open sourced community CyanogenMod projects and the CyanogenOS besides one (COS) being the official stable branch and the other (CM) being the development branch. The most important of these differences being that the corporate entity CyanogenOS includes proprietary closed sourced replacements for several open sourced apps found in CyanogenMod. And to further complicate things CyanogenOS seems to have a different lineup of these proprietary apps with every iteration. For example the Cyanogen firmware has at various times included an alternate keyboard app (askey), email app (Boxer), and several unique to the OS features like an exclusive camera, browser, sound mixer, and theme. There are other differences too that a close examination of the files from each ROM easily reveal. I hope this helps.

Thank you sir. That is great info. I've been watching the phones on swappa and have noticed some come with the Cyanogen OS. I know that this phone is very open for custom ROMs so I know that what ever it comes with when I purchase it I can put what I want on it.

This is exciting news, I can't wait and definitely am willing to test it for you.
Need Help
I have compiled LinageOS 14.1 for this device. However, it will NOT boot. I believe that all we need to do is fix the boot image file. I am having an extremely difficult time porting the boot image file. I was wondering if anyone here can maybe port it for me. I have tried replacing the LinageOS boot.img with the stock boot.img and I get nothing but an infinite boot loop. I have also tried a lot of other things to port the boot.img but I cannot remember everything I have tried. I will provide the links to my LinageOS compile and the boot image files in this post.
Download Link
Remember DO NOT try anything without a working backup of everything first.
Maybe I could take a crack at it today if I have some free time after painting and I hook up the trusty Dell precision. I'm more comfortable with systems that run already but I'm willing to do some research if there's even a chance I could help. Thanks again for what you've compiled so far!
Here to Help
What can I do to help ? I have a device, a backup, and money if worst comes to worst, I am determined to make this work.

Lineage OS
I am very interested in the development, also if this person has working META-INF that will help me out too, so I can help someone release a rom and they can help me, as I said before this is all very new to me.
I'd love some help getting started on making any ROM, even if it's Slim AF to start with (since you already figured out how to do that), then I'd try something else. I have Ubuntu already installed, but need some basic help, like what repo to download and what files to modify. If you can help with that, I'd really appreciate it as we may have more ROMs to choose from .

Nice work. Will this be based off the latest security updates B150 (think stock came with B130 firmware) and root?
Love this as a starting point. Did you free up any of the internal storage that is dedicated to the system? As we know there is only 8GB free of the 16G. Does SLIM ROM change things in this regard? Just curious.
yes
I have managed to free up a little over 2gb of space, I am still looking for other bs that is taking up so much space, i'm thinking its another partition, so give me a while to figure out what i can safely remove to get us more space. I also work 2 jobs lol i dont have a ton of free time but this phone is my daily driver and i am very determined to get something to work for it!

Hate to be that guy but I'm just so excited to try a new ROM on this phone! Has anyone made any milestones on lineage or RR or anything else? I understand nothing's quite ready and that's why nobody's said anything but I'm itching for good news lol.

I will release Resurrection Remix soon, I just want to work out some critical bugs before I do. It's pretty stable as of now, I am posting from it. As of now, Wi-Fi, the camera, and the phone's internal loudspeaker don't work, I think Wi-Fi is going to require me to compile a custom kernel but that won't be too difficult. After I get those things to work, I will compile a flashable zip and release.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this ROM and device. I'm sure I can safely speak for all of us about how exciting this is. If at any point you need someone to test a particular version I'm very confident in making a backup of where I am now and diving in to submit feedback for kernel changes or anything else you need more than one phone to try on.
no more news? any rom in progress?

well i started working on ressurection remix as well dont know my eta if he gets his done cool if not then hope mine gets done
Sorry for not posting an update I've been swamped with work and laying tile I still have yet to install BBQ Linux if by the time I'm done laying tile we still don't have a room I will see to it that I make one
i dont guess any of these ROMs ever saw the light of day? lol been a long time since posts it appears, and there aren't many ROMs to find for the h1611 it seems. Nexus XT looks promising, but i cant download it because every link is a 7 hour download that fails a few hours in. satisfied enough i guess with stock rooted, but i want more, might have to keep this phone for a while until i can get a higher end one.
ive got some emui based roms like the nexus one is a emui based one im in the works of making a more vanilla like experience rom to try improve performance etc. and working on building a device tree for the xt its a work in progress for that. but the other rom wont be the swift n fast slim it will be called something else ill post it soon as its almost done
