So I downloaded GT Racing Motor Academy 3D and it keeps stopping unexpectedly and Idk what to do. I really wanna play it. Anyone know how to make it work properly?
Unlocked Potential HD
Stock kernel from the ROM above.

S-off.

Also could someone point me to where the 207mb data from within the app that's downloaded is stored at? I can't find it in the /sdcard/Android/ folder.
 
Hi! I spent a long time figuring out 3d games on this phone when I first got it last June. I can't believe the lack of support for getting them to work, so I'm always happy to help out. Unfortunately the crashing issue you're having is because all of the Gameloft 3d games were made for Gingerbread and Gameloft refuses to update the games to support ICS. They boot fine but as soon as you use multi-touch the game crashes. I've sent Gameloft numerous emails and they basically don't care and probably never will as 3d phones didn't really catch on like they were hoping. My limited understanding is that a solution could be made with the right kernel tweaks but the right dev needs to check into that (definitely not me). Right now your only option is running 3d games in a Sprint Gingerbread ROM, either as your main ROM or dual-booting as detailed in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803744
Good luck and feel free to pm me if you need help with Boot Manager. My setup is dual-booting viperROM (GB) for gaming. Got something like 10 3d games on there that all work flawlessly :)
 
Thanks a lot man. How much room will dual-booting take up on my sdcard? I have 32gb and I have like 20 left.
 
That's about what my SD card looks like. Just keep in mind each ROM you install is installing to the SD rather than phone memory. I plan on 500mb per ROM but it depends on the ROM. You're going to want to keep a nandroid of the phone ROM handy (which I'm sure you're already doing) which takes up space. You'll be FINE with a 32gb SD, I have never even begun to worry about space.

As I recall Boot Manager Lite has all features intact and is good for one dual-boot slot. I paid for the full version which gets you unlimited slots and even shares call logs/SMS between slots so its somewhat of a seemless experience. Very cool. Makes testing new ROMs far easier than having to spend hours in recovery backing up and then restoring.

EDIT:
You'll also have to reinstall any apps on each ROM you're dual-booting. These will obviously be using SD space as well which could add up if you're downloading all the same apps on each ROM slot. Also just a note that Titanium can restore from one ROM to another so make sure you make backups. If restoring apps from ICS to GB gives you issues you'll have to redownload those apps from the Store.
