Black Screen Samsung Galaxy Alpha
Asbowl2468 opened this issue · 16 comments
Hey there i just bought th and ported it to corsix it knows where the game files are but it just runs with a black screen I can press buttons just can't see anything
Android 4.4
Cheers
Is it an official version of Android or a custom ROM? Rooted / any modifications or apps that might interfere? Have you tried with the demo files instead?
Thanks for the reply is the official android 4.4.4 rooted, as far as I'm aware I have no apps/mods that could interfere I've messed around with Dev options with no results and yes I've tried the demo same problem
Thanks for the update. The only times I've seen this issue is when the device has been too old to support the required features, or a modification has been made to the system (usually as a "performance optimization") and has broken some required functionality.
As your phone is quite new and appears to have all the right features, it should be supported. I don't have a Galaxy Alpha myself to test this on, so I'd appreciate it if someone else could independently confirm this on theirs.
I'm experiencing the same (or similar issue) with my Galaxy Tab S. I point it to the files, and I'm presented with a black screen. If I double tap, sometimes I get the message "no quicksave to load" or I will get into the options (Run Setup Wizard, etc, etc.)
@PhilD85 Your device should be perfectly capable. Are you running a custom rom or anything that might interfere with graphics? It seems as though the UI elements are there but just failing to be rendered.
If you try the demo files, do you get the same result?
Running official 5.0 ROM as auto updated, new tablet as of Saturday. Is
there any way to pull logs off the device or attach a debugger to help you
out? I am a software developer, just very little experience with Android.

I'm having this issue too, on my Nexus 9. Only on the github version though. (Which is the same now as when I tried 3-4 months ago). I get the recent changes dialog every time, and if I modify SharedPreferences I can get it to run the wizard again, but after that it's all black. Scripts are never copied. If I download the Play Store version it runs fine, including copying scripts.
I was hoping to improve support for mouse devices, and I have debugging all set up so please let me know what I can do to provide further information! I can't figure out why, but it seems the main Activity (CTHApplication I think) never successfully starts. It just loops in some native Android code.
Same happening here with galaxy note 3 SN900 (mali) with lollipop. black screen on launch, even with the demo. but i'm able to open the menu by clicking the screen randomly and access: setup wizard/settings. Unfortunatly changing resolution or enything else is not helping...
Hi, confirm on Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10,5" with 5.0.2 stock Samsung Android OS, the game (todays version, tried to sign up for beta, but no update showed up) shows nothing but a black screen.
Music plays in the background and like above posters, I can blind click on setup. Changing resolution settings is no difference (native from automatic).
Thanks for the reports. I've still not got much of an idea as to why this is occuring, so any more information you can provide would be really helpful. Particularly if there's any apps installed like Twilight or settings that have been changed which might affect graphics & UI.
I'm working on getting a version up and running using the new SDL2 renderering engine, which I hope may resolve this. I'll start publishing builds on to the alpha channel on Google Play in the next couple of weeks; I'll update this thread when they're ready.
@Chetic I'm not sure why that might be, but I'll be more than happy to walk you through the build process and some debugging if you're interested. Controls are getting an overhaul as part of the transition to SDL2 anyway which will hopefully separate touch and keyb/mouse input.
You're welcome.
I'm suspecting the 5.0 lollipop Os to be involved in that problem.
Especially the Samsung rom. (Official rom by the way) Can't say more about
what might be lacking, but some of my oldies games seams to have the same
"black screen" problem after this upgrade (I noticed that with baldur's
gate which were working perfectly on kitkat but now have the same
problem... developers are making a working beta test on a new version after
being aware of that problem).
In the same time, "actual" games don't have any problem (I'm playing xcom
or telltale walking dead for exemple).
Unfortunatly i've tested corsixth on the lollipop Os only, so I don't know
if it has ever worked on kitkat or older.
Sorry that i'm not able to help you more with that.
For the record i'm on a Samsung Galaxy note3 sm-n900 with mali t-628
graphic processor under lollipop 5.0. I don't have twilight and didn't
tweak any graphic settings in any ways.
Anyway, thanks for trying to solve that probleme and for the hard work.
If I can help in any way let me know.
Christophe.

Do you know of any more instances like this, and can you point me towards the Baldur's Gate app you mention here? It might be useful to open a dialogue with them if I can't find a solution.
Sure!
The app is here:

Andy ou might be able to join the developers team here:

And I think that beta test is here:

Hope it will help.
Keep me in touch.

I can confirm the app works fine on Samsung Galaxy A3 with stock 4.4.4 KitKat Rom.
I've started making alpha builds for the next release and I'm hoping that one of the changes will have resolved this issue. I'd like to invite you to try it out and see if it works on your devices. Instructions are here: http://www.armedpineapple.co.uk/2013/05/beta-testing-corsixth-for-android/
If you'd prefer, there are apks that you can manually install here: http://www.armedpineapple.co.uk/cth/android/
Thanks Alan.
It had launched the demo and I can see the menu now! Thanks for the good
work!
