[Q] Game compatibility with CM11S 38R and CM11 Nightlies - PAD and September builds

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
> e fix.

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.

I'd post as a link to their support site but... I'm not allowed to post outside links because i'm a n00b

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.

So far I'm pretty happy with this Rom, runs fluid and fast, battery life is okay, but I need to test it in average-day use.
Still, I have one simple issue with this Rom: Appearantly the font-engine of CM seems to be broken here, as I can't change the font to anything but the standard holo font. I tried multiple fonts, but all of them didn't apply, no error message, no anything. It says it applied them, but it doesn't.

Google Play Error
i Love this ROM. Most of it works, and well. Jumped from 2 to 4 in a day and theres a big difference in usability. However, Google play will not sign in. I tried the gapps provided and reinstalled with different methods with no success. Ive tried all variants i can find going back to gapps for 4.4.2.
Im going to try the hosts file trick next and report back. Any insight in the meantime would be appreciated. Thank you

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.
Please check the index (found HERE) which lists all the roms for this device.

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.

resurrection remix 5.0.2 is a really great rom i had doubts because it was based off of cm but i was impressed

Seems great and I'm downloading it right now.Will this get the official Oxygen OS otas in the future no prob?

No idea if it will but the bundle itself ain't that bad.
Stock, yes, but speedy and from what I can tell really not bad at all.

Your ROM works great thank you.
But on the install I got a odd message e:/unknown command (wipe_data).
I guess thats there dirty flash.

Great room

Little help please
Hey guys. Really loved your ROM. But, need some help. Most of my contacts are in Russian language. So when I want to call to someone. In callapp is no Russian Letters on NumberPad.
Can I just Flash some update or something? In original Oxygen it's OK and i see 2 row of letters ENG and RUS.
Can you please explain me to how can i fix it ?

Hello,
I have OxygenOS flashed already and will like to know where could I get AudioFX that is working on non-CM 12 devices like OOS?
