Help Candy crush reboots phone

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about this issue. Im using the Starship version of CM7 (android 2.3.7), The phone will reboot when trying to launch the game, then when you try to play it afterwards it plays fine. I used the CWM and installed that ROM. Otherwise the phone seems fine
 
I don't have much idea about it but my phone does the same when I play the racing game I purchased from Google play. Maybe I should buy another micro-sd to expand the memory. I don't know. I need help too.
 
A larger sd card will give you more storage but it doesn't do anything about memory.

The only suggestion I could make would be to boot into recovery and run fix permissions. Probably won't help.

I'm not familiar with those games, but if they have an option to turn hardware acceleration (gpu) on or off, you could experiment with that.

Or maybe try to clear some more memory before launching the game?
 
same issue here, try the gaming kernel if on ICS otherwise, your pretty much on your own. This phone is just horrible with gaming
 
I have similar issues with some bigger, more memory-hogging games (I'm also running CM7).

I installed an app called Advanced Mobile Care when I first got my phone- it's a mobile version of iobit's Advanced System Care for Windows- and I LOVE it.
Here's the description from the Google Play Store-

"☆☆☆All must-have tools for Android are in one Advanced Mobile Care.☆☆☆

Now I feel stupid for my previous post, because now my MT crashes a lot- and not just on games, but on most big programs.

So what now?
 
I use System Tuner Pro.
One of the features is an interface for setting the android Out Of Memory settings, without having to set it manually via init.d.
Another feature I like is to select and limit the apps that run on boot completed.
In addition you can set clock speed, voltage, governor, sd scheduler, etc.
I don't really play games much, so I don't know if it will help you, but there is a free version if you want to test it.
You can also open and log individual apps, which may give you insight to what's crashing it.

Is there a post that suggests settings for clock speed, etc. for the Triumph (with CM7)?
 
Well, not really. It's been discussed before but it seems like max stable clock speed varies between particular phones.

Personally, I have run 1.8ghz without a crash, but I wouldn't recommend it. Austrie used to max his out way under, at 576mhz to save battery.

I would leave that for experimenting, and try some of the more aggressive pre-sets for android out of memory settings to see if your game will run stable first.
 
It's not just games, but any memory-hogging app..... Google Earth for example.
My Triumph's RAM (at least that's what I assume it is) has really went downhill in the last week or so- just opening a memory-hungry app will make the phone reboot. At first I thought it was just one or two of the games, but now I think there's another issue.

There's quite a few preset levels, but is there a list somewhere that describes exactly what those levels are? Terms like minmax, scary, interactive, and smartassv2 don't really give me much to go on.
 
Those are not presets, those are governors.
They decide when and how the cpu frequency is raised/lowered.

The cpu governor will effect perceived speed vs battery life, but won't have any effect on memory usage or crashing of apps.

This is about the best post I've seen on governors, so I found it in my bookmarks.
CPU Governors Explained - Android - RootzWiki

Personally, if you don't want to read that right now, since it won't address your issue at hand, just set to interactive or smartass v2.
 
Well, I played around with the settings, and the phone has almost completely stopped crashing/rebooting, just once this week.

Thangfish- I tried System Tuner Pro.... but it was a bit more complicated than I wanted to mess with (okay, so I'm an idiot), and I installed Android Assistant. I never thought I'd give up Mobile System Care (and I've been using Advanced System Care on all my computer for years and years as well, both offerings from iObit are great products), but Android Assistant seems to be doing a good job.

I'm going to try re-installing a few of the games that gave me trouble before and see what happens.
 
Okay, it's been a while now, and I have to report that since I've been using Android Assistant, the crash/reboots have basicaly stopped.

Yay!

And now I think I'm going to switch from CM7 to PA, and see how that goes.
