I have installed Simpsons Tapped Out on Kitekat v4.1 and it was working fine, but after upgrading to 4.3 it always stops working.
Here are the steps I tried:
1. v4.1 NAND+Data on Ext - working
2. v4.3 NAND+Data on Ext - NOT working
3. v4.3 NativeSD - not working
4. v4.1 NAND+Data on Ext again - working
Now, I can live without Simpsons game, I always prefered to have latest tytung's build
Has something significant chaned in HWA? I don't see this game listed in HWA settings in both 4.1 and 4.3.
Or maybe it's some EA's problem
I don't want to solve it, but I thought it's interesting. Everything else is working without problems, except low sound fixer crash.

Regards,
my HTC HD2, 4 years old, and always on Tytung's android (or was it Tyween before?)

Thanks

Hangouts is not working in this version, any workaround? I have unchecked the HWA setting for it.

Thanks.

An app called Secure Settings had a Helper app to accomplish a number of system level tasks which completely stopped working with KK. The Helper app was being moved to /system but restricted by KK and did not function. He recently deprecated the Helper app and recoded his app heavily to resolve the issue.

Odysseus wrote:I've noticed the same thing on KK builds for the Amaze. I thought the issue affected only that device and was caused by some bug in how the devs there were implementing KK. Now that I see your post here things makes more sense.

Unlike the HD2, the Amaze has a large amount of internal space to work with. The '/system' partition is 1.58GB and the '/data' partition is 2.64GB. On the stock Sense ROM much of the space in '/system' gets used by a combination of HTC and T-Mobile bloat and odex files. Every aftermarket ROM is deodexed so there's a lot of extra space in '/system' after installing one. Depending on whether the ROM is Sense or AOSP based, there's as much as 1GB free in that partition.

What I usually do is push all of the Google apps I use and many important utilities that I know have no spyware or trackers into '/system' which frees up more space on '/data' for other apps. I also work system app updates into back into the ROM with Titanium Backup to further free up space. However with KK many apps I push into '/system' no longer function as expected. Some important features requiring escalated privileges fail to work. Examples being my favorite file managers which need root to function correctly. It's not an issue with JB. It's really annoying too because having to run these apps from '/data' means less space for other apps there.

Thanks for posting this info. At least I know it's not an isolated problem.
