Another reason I downloaded that game because some friends told me the game lag on their phones.

I made a recording in my previous post; just to show how smooth the game can be even during recording.

Another recording on Radiant Defense with Immense Mode in N4

Bonus mission in Royal Revolt let you control a group of angry Android and kick @ss...

Stock is not capable to show H+. There is no icon for it.

If you are on stock ROM, to verify that you are on H+ network, go to Setting, status.

I usually just leave the screen until it Sleep by itself.

I am on stock 4.4.2, has no problem with the sandbox. I am suspecting some bad Web pages that constantly requesting to redraw (or plugin or something)... if u suspect any page like that, give me the URL. i will try it on my phone.

alternatively, try close all tab in Chrome. try monitor if there is any specific page that causing it.

also try (usually no needed), after minimise Chrome, click Task Manager and swipe it away when you done using Chrome.

See if battery improve?

Finally, change to AOSP browser. I heard it's pretty sleek.

So, bored with the China version of Plants vs Zombies 2... heard that the Google Play version has giant Gargantua... and so I play... not bad.

cheated? no! i pay them hundreds of $ to get all the gold and unlock all the plants...

New awesome build: Ice Fire

if the phone can stay in Bootloader without auto off (for say 30 minutes), that mean it's bad / corrupted ROM. solution is to flash back to Stock ROM:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus...ges#occamkot49h

if phone auto off even in Bootloader, battery problem. solution:

1. Try off, and fully charge it 5 hours
2. Power on

if problem persist, visit Service Center, change battery.

!!Detailed long post on how to "turn" Samurai vs Zombies 2 into an offline game. Feel free to skip ahead to next post!!

I like Samurai vs Zombies game. Unfortunately, like 99% of the App in Google Play. It requires Internet connection. I hate giving Internet access to anything I don't compile myself in my phone. It is just so easy for any app to obtain so much info from a smart phone and send it out; contacts, gps, accounts, list of app in your phone, sms, etc...

Normally, it is straight forward to remove the Internet permission from any app: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2125489/+1340#entry47288597

1. Decode the APK


2. Edit com.glu.samuzombie2-1/AndroidManifest.xml
- Find and remove these. These permission gives the game ability to connect Internet, start everytime you start phone automatically and display all ads notification and give away your GPS location (wifi based):


However, if you repack and sign the game now and run it you will get an error "Not a genuine copy". There is a little integrity checking in Samurai vz Zombies 2 to make sure we cannot change anything in the binary. We are going to break this.

3. Search for "genuine" string in the decoded files:


4. Now we know the variable name we want to look for is "invalid_signature". Search for it:


5. Now we know which file check for this, let's break it. Edit "com.glu.samuzombie2-1\smali\com\glu\plugins\AJTUtil.smali" at line ~1170. This is part of the code that display the toastbox:


This is part of VerifySignature() function that will check the integrity of the binary. We just need this function to return "void" without throwing any exception. So, add these 2 lines in line number 1078 like this:



6. If you repack and run the game, you will bypass the game verification but game will Force Closed (FC). In time like this, logcat will give you more details about the problem.

From logcat, a file is throwing the "No Internet permission exception": com/unity3d/player/WWW.run:

7. So, the run() method giving you problem.. let's undo the problem. Make it return "void" as soon as it start:



8. Repack the APK:


9. Sign it:


10. Zip align it:


11. Install it:


Enjoy the game knowing that it's not capable of sending anything out to the Internet and it won't start when your phone start.

i m not using CWM, but i think there is Advance Restore that allow you to chose the path of your backup. If still not working, try push it back to /sdcard/.

what is in that director? see something like boot.img, system.img? worse case you can just "dd" it back

ps: say you have the boot.img in /sdcard/clockwork/mod/

to flash back your kernel (boot.img) and ROM (system.img):

i hate jittery scrolling/animation. my fren has Note 2, we both open 9gag.com with Chrome, wait till it finished loading. flick the finger quickly to scroll all the way down. Not pleasant in Note 2

Battery wise, N4 is OK if you charge your phone before sleep everyday. Cannot compare to Note 2 which is a phablet. I undervolt mine, only need to charge once every 2 days.

On another note, my latest video. Nice 8-bit good old shoot 'em up in Immense mode:
