BlueStacks Kritika Error - Android Apps and Games

Hi all,
2 days ago I started to use Bluestacks on my Windows 10 laptop and for a day it worked perfectly, truly flawless, I only play one game (Kritika) and that game had a major update and after that update the app starts but I keep getting this error message about xigncodehack detected or something.. So I tried yesterday evening to look for other emulators, to see if they had the same problem, but since there are more emulators out there than I thought, I don't know which one to choose which is best, personally I installed Bluestacks because it was the only emulator that I knew about, so my question basically is if anyone knows how to fix that hack error to play Kritika or if someone knows which Emulator doesn't have that problem and is better than BS? Also for if I wanted to play other games, it would be nice to have like a real android UI instead of the slimmed down version of BS imo..
Hope someone can help me?

O2XDA IIi Hanging problem!

OK, My XDA work fine except one thing, its very slow and it will be hung when I am playing game, I mean when I am playing game I receive a call from Somebody and after I receive that phone call, instead it return to my game to continue playing , it is hung. Whats problem?
Anyone got any idea about this problem.
What other programs/applications do you have running? Have you tried to delete o2's interface? Maybe you can turn off 'photo contacts'. Installing programs in to your 'storage' memory instead of normal memory to free memory which has a big impact on speed.
More information is needed to help you more. You do have 'turbo' mode enabled i take it?
Many Thanks John for ur replying, I have enabled "Turbo Mode". And My PDA have some program such as Spb Plus, that program worked fine, and some game like KarmaSutris 8) , and when Im running that game, my PDA will be hung if Somebody make a phone call to my XDA phone u know, and some games will be hung but It notify a message about error in graphic :?: after waiting 2 minute and returning to TOday interface.And finally some games wasnt hung at all after I receive a phone call while playing game.
My PDA specificationFrom Device Information on my XDA)
WM2003SE
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date 12/24/04
Radio verion 1.00.00
ExtROM version 1.10.124 WWE
DO I have to update ROM to solve that stupid problem from my XDA? ANy suggestion ? Which Rom do I need to use?
Many thnks
Oh I forgot to tell u that I didnt remove O2 interface and the application work fine but the game , it didnt u know.
I would certainly recommend updating such an old rom, it should be on O2's website.
I would also recommend installing 'Microsoft .NET CF 2.0' which should help. I used to get various errors on certain programs until i installed this. A good hard reset once in a while never hurts anyway, but if you're going to do that you might as well upgrade.
I tried putting 'KarmaSutris' in to google but nothing was found so couldn't find out much about it. Maybe it's just an old game that wasn't designed for windows to pause it while you get a call? PDA's with mobiles are quite new and the operating system would be completely different to older versions.
If you're really in to games then check out emmulators. I'm playing SNES games, gamegear games, gameboy games and also check out SCUMMVM for old PC adventure games, should make you forget about your other games, and all completely free too!
I would definitely recommend removing O2's interface, it's probably the most unstable program you can have on your system, i doubt you need it and it will speed up your XDA.
Thanks John, I will remove 02 user interface and install .Net Framework as U said. If if wont work out(I think maybe that stupid game's problem, I dont know why but as u said the compatible problems :wink, Im gonna update my old ROM. :wink and I think I will remove all the games which have that stupid problem. If u like emulator game so u can visit this Chinese website http://chinagba.com/down/index.html
It has alot of roms for you, Cheer. . I always download ROMS from that site.

[Q] Help me get Monopoly working on my Tablet!

Hi,
Hoping someone with experience on apps and development can help.
I bought Monopoly for my Android Tablet.
If I'm running ICS, I get a connection failed when it tries to download the extra files. Basically download bar stays at NAN and times out. So I downgraded my tablet to GB and managed to install the App.
However, due to the spec of my Tablet (not great) the game crashes. Even with using Chainfire 3D drivers and tweaking. I can prolong the crash, but it does crash!
I then installed the game on my Desire HD and noticed that it was a lower spec'd version, i.e. Handset version.
So I copied the download files from my DHD to the Tablet.
The game now loads and will probably work better as it's not a HD Tablet version and uses less memory, but the text is all messed up and unplayable.
I think there should be an easy fix and just some missing files or fonts. But I don't know where to start looking.
Can someone please help? Guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiz

DraStic DS Emulator crashes???

Hello, I installed DraStic DS Emulator r2.1.3a and I attempted to load GTA Chinatown War with file format .nds and the app crashed. Is .nds format supported or do I need to adjust the setting configuration? Running on Note 2 N7100. Thanks.

Firstly, .nds files are rom files or games files. They only come in this format or at least this is the most common excluding zips and rars.There is a compatibility list for the emulator. Just google it. GTA isn't on there. Don't expect it to run perfectly or it to run well. It may be the best android emulator out there at the moment, but it is really new. I've been using it and it crashes for me. I'm going to guess that it's not on there because it hasn't been tested yet officially. It's one of those games that just doesn't work. Try getting it frrrom a different source; that sometimes works.
Being in the early stages that it is, there are going to be bugs. In terms of settings, there isn't much you can do. With some games, turning sound off stops them from running. I know this happens with pokemon games but it's going to vary. Sorry if this isn't much help but all we can do is wait until they bring out updates to sort out bugs like these.
Another thing you can try is updating the emulator. I believe it's now at 2.1.6.2a. This may only be bug fixes but it may fix bugs that stop the game running in the first place. It's worth a try so give it a go. Also, try looking on other forums, they may have the answer. I don't have your device so I don't know how to fix the problems you have if they're device specific.
Pls Help . Just Right I Open Drastic. It Keep Crashing And Does Not Work . Please Help

Safe guarding 4.3(jellybean), stoping the shield from updating?

So when I noticed my Shield downloaded the 4.4 update, and went over the notes in it, I was like I better come to XDA and see if this is for me or not.
CLEARLY being an emulation junkie I need to stick with my beloved 4.3.
What I need to know is if there are any safeguards I can take to stop my shield from updating to 4.4 accidentally / automatically, seeing as the files are already on it waiting to be updated?

Long press the OTA notification, select app info, Uncheck the box that says show notifications. (Or go into apps and find Google services Framework, and disable it that way)
The Shield will not Automatically update on it's own regardless, but now you won't ever see the notification.
If you ever want to update just go into settings, about, Update.
There are other ways but I'm not sure if they will work with the Shield/Have not tried them.
You can also install the Gamepad Mapper, and new Tegra Zone. just grab these APKs and install them normally. This way you have the improved gamepad mapper, and remote streaming when you want it. The new Tegrazone app doesn't replace the old one, so you can still use the HQ old Tegrazone app. The Nvidia button will also only open the old app, I used Gravity box to set up the Y button to open the new Tegrazone app with a long press, and that works perfect.

The same thing happened to me. Since I use the Shield for emulators and some Android games (no interest with streaming PC games on a 5" display), I have no need for 4.4. Especially since emulators are reported to play slower and most of all, external writing for 3rd party apps has been killed by Goople (not spelling error).
The only catch here is the 464 MB update will still be taking up flash storage, since already downloaded. Added: Mine is still on 4.2, as was out of box when bought from Best Buy last week.

Thank you for the reply, Some really handy information here for avoiding the update but getting the goods out of it.
I do have three follow up questions :
1. I want to really confirm what you are saying, that "the shield will not update on it's own" I've had my shield since July/13, I could swear that it's updated itself with out me pushing a button, like even the last update before kitkat, I really thought it updated on it's own. LIke if I shut the shield off, it wont force the update?
2. I have a 64gb sd card so it's not really a big deal that i lost 400megs of internal data doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
But I do wonder, there must be a way to delete those update files some how?
a. I've avoided rooting my shield mostly cause I'm lazy, never done it before, and it seems like it adds complications, should I?
3. About your work around suggestions;
a. What's the difference between the old tegrazone and new one?
b. Do I need to map a button for the new tegrazone or can I just open it like any other app?
c. What is the "remote streaming"? I mean I know about how I can stream from my PC to the shield at home, is this a feature that is new that lets me stream from like, wifi at a coffee shop or something?
4. This may be a better question for some where else, but as of right now the only real reason i'm avoiding the update is because of emulator performance. But from what I can tell there are a lot of negative things about this update.
What are the other pros and cons about the latest update? (I heard something about it effect the useability of my SD card among other things?)
I dont know if theyre in the same spot as other android devices but check the /data/fota folder for the new update files. If its there do me a huge favor please and copy the file and upload it. If you have a slow connect could u grab a couple files from it for me i need to check something.

1. I've rebooted/power off my Shield many times, no problems. I think I've had it on 4.3 since 4/16 it's never updated on it's own, but I do have CWM (custom recovery)
2. The only way around that is unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a simple process, getting the environment to use ADB and getting the drivers to all work properly is key, and the hardest part. the process goes: Unlock bootloader > Flash custom recovery (CWM) > Flash root package with CWM.
3. a. Better ui, and streaming options, but lower quality video, and sound lag when streaming. Remote streaming. - New TegraZone
b. No, you can open it like any other app.
c. Exactly, it lets you stream your games away from home, and it's not bad.
4. Really the only cons I see in 4.4 are the SD restrictions, and the worse performance/battery life, everything else is great! The overall polish of Kitkat is really nice, probably my biggest pro is the immersive status bar. Being able to pull the status bar down while streaming a game is really nice (or anywhere fullscreen really)
If you do end up rooting/unlocking your shield, I recommend eventually installing the Xposed Installer and getting Gravity box, there's a lot of useful tweaks in there. :good:
Seems if the main focus is Android and emulator games, stay away from 4.4, but if main focus is PC gaming, 4.4 is the way to go. The stutter that happens due to the random throttle issues with emulators and control input ruins the emulators for me. If I had not been used to them playing smooth on my other devices and the Shield as is, perhaps I would not be as bothered. The difference though is very noticeable to me. Even NES and PCE games stutter/lag. Not good cricket!
If there is an Nvidia update that fixes this issue, I will consider starting from scratch with unlocking and then rooting to remove external write restrictions. Right now, the performance issue does not warrant the effort or free time wasted starting over again.

Need to be rooted to access. Of course. Drat.
I would like the 4.3 update. I guess I was a week too late buying this.
4.4 No lag for me in any emulators other than some rooms in reicast. Arcade is mint. I spend a lot of time with cps2 and neo geo games. If you're having speed issues in 4.4 try a better emulator. Haven't had any speed issues with retro arch.

"A better emulator"
That just isn't really the problem though, these same emulators were perfect before.
If you have them both, please try Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on GBA.emu
It's unplayable on 4.4, but perfect on later android versions, even with 0 frameskip and hq2x rendering. Now on the other hand, the My Boy! emulator seems to work nearly as well on both android versions and I played through Tomba with FPse partly with 4.3, and finishing it on 4.4, I noticed very little difference. So not all emulators have taken a hit, but it's there even in the system.. and don't get me started on battery life.
Basically I'm kinda agreeing with you. But, there is some issue either with Android 4.4, or whatever Nvidia did.
A little more on Topic. Ever since I disabled the notification from Google Services, and deleted the update from the cache partition, It hasn't downloaded again! It's been 2 days since I did that, and It's had plenty of times to download an OTA. (reboots, sleep with wifi on, etc.) It might download if you go to the update settings, so watch out.
Well I'm glad that I checked out XDA before I purchased a shield. I was looking for emulators, some android gaming, and for sure PC streaming since I have a powerful rig. I'll wait until Nvidia gets this stuff sorted. I planned to root and unlock so I'm not too worried about the external storage issues.

Unless you are a gamer/emulator fan, you probably will not notice as much, but we do. Smooth with 4.2 to stuttery with 4.4 is not an option IMO, so 4.4 is not happening- unless there is an update to fix it
People refer to Retroarch, but compared to the other dedicated emulators, it does not have the same level of features (nor perform as good with some). Also, the lack of individual system defined directories for the different roms is a major pain. :silly:

[SUPPORT] SElinux blocks Asphalt 8 from making an internet connection

Hi everyone!
I've been playing this game called Asphalt 8 for a few years, it's developed by gameloft (in case you didn't know)
However, since i got myself a new phone, an Asus Zenfone 6 (ZS630KL) I cant play the game anymore. Since Gameloft is gameloft and doesn't even try to fix more complicated problems then "idk how to open the game"
(literally it's been a year, and IF they reply, its to ask if my issue is still relevant, i reply that it is and i dont hear back after that)
So, i went ahead and used ADB to grant Logcat extreme the permission to read logs to see what errors and warnings occur.
This is what i saw (pics in the attachment).
It seems as if SElinux is denying permissions related to ads the game uses as well as calling it an untrusted app and therefore holding the game from using internet.
Im running Android 11, and the game gets updated frequently, last update was in September 2021.
Since Gameloft isnt cooperting, i wanted to ask you guys here if there could be reasons that SElinux does this, if not because of the app, then maybe a conflicting system app, but which? perhaps it cant be disabled if i only knew which app.
Thanks a lot in advance for everyone helping me out here if only a little!
Possibly the game confuses my zenfone 6 (ZS630KL) from 2019 with a zenfone 6 (A600CG)? As that old phone from 2014 probably uses a different way to request a udp connection from SElinux?
Something i bumped upon here:
udp socket setting up does not work anymore android marshmallow
