Guys, take a look to my post on XDA. Could anyone test and report if it works for you? Thanks.

Just follow instructions on this thread and after you will have Lite'ning ROM installed + Root
PS. Mods, I'm sorry for posting here external links, i hope this isn't against the rules (didn't read them yet).
So quite in here... Everyone's playing Pocket Legends? I do, in total ~9 hours of gaming without single crash (yet).
I tested some things yesterday evening. I don't have Litening 1.5 but when i have the music program in the background running i can play all the time without problems.
So i start the normal music app and go back with the home button so it is still running at the task manager then go into the game and there i set off Music and Sounds (don't know if it matters) after this it seems to work fine, no crashes anytime.
If it don't work, let me know that we can see what is the difference between our phones...
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Try to play with sounds and music on - no crashes for me yet. What ROM you're using?
Haven't had time to play. Hopefully things will slow down soon, I'll give feedback then.
Really hope one of the tips work, with the expansions coming and all!
Ok, it's not only about the Music player... Just Flashed Touch X-Treme ROM (based on KF2 firmware is well), did no customizations at all, the only app i installed was Pocket Legends. Game crashes every 2-5 mins, no matter what i do. Going to try some KF4 based ROM now, will report how it goes.
Yes. My experience so far:
-Stock ROM with KE7 firmware (phone wasn't rooted yet) - game freezes.
-Rooted my phone, installed VillainROM (KF2 base) - game freezes.
-Lite'ning ROM, based on KF2 firmware - i was able to play for over 10 hours without a single problem.
-Touch X-Treme ROM, based on KF2 firmware - game freezes.
-Stock KF4 based ROM (not even rooted) - game freezes.
-Nitroz Extreme, KF3 based ROM - game freezes.
-Went back to Lite'ning ROM 1,5 (based on KF2) - played for about an hour, no freezes!
-Stock XXKG1 firmware (Android 2.3.4), not rooted - game freezes. SAD.
-Lite'ning 2,0, KG1 based ROM - game freezes.
All testing was done straight after flashing ROM, without installing additional apps or doing some customizations.

Right, that's some progress at least.
I'm actually considering to buy this phone to play PL on but only if a permanent fix is found in regards to the freezing issue.
Have you contacted the Developer of the ROM to find out what he has changed to overcome this issue? Is it a kernel change maybe? Have you checked the ROM Changelog notes and spotted any differences?
Thanks so far for your thorough testing.

It looks like Lite'ning seems to be the most stable. Use it for now.
Lets just hope that when Cyanogen comes to this phone, everything is smooth.
Well, for me it's far away fro "stable", some apps (Anttek File Explorer) just force closes. Logcat shows loads of errors. Tried to reflash ROM, fix permissions - nothing. I'm really eager to get my hands on CyanogenMod
So you're using Lite'ning? How's PL? Any freezes?
Wow, that's interesting. Could you post your phones baseband and kernel versions please? Lite'ning has: Baseband - XXKF2, Kernel - 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKF2-CL253204. Thanks.
Just the music app in the bg did not work, for me on KF3 at least.Originally Posted by Hitsch Norris:336594
Froze with & without audio.
Hoping to test Lite'ning this weekend!
Here's an off the wall idea for you to check out...
I had major freezing issues with PL for a few days and the culprit turned out to be Swype. I have the newest beta version of it and didn't even realize that I was only crashing after I used the keyboard once. It looks like it may have something to do with the auto-suggest of words (along the top of the keyboard) because they don't work at all in PL, but do in every other application that I have. My problem disappeared after uninstalling/reinstalling Swype, but the auto-suggest still doesn't work and I'm expecting the same lockups again at some point.
Try turning off Swype and see what happens.

Hmm, i did all tests straight after flashing ROMs, without customizing them at all and as you know, by default is being used Samsung keyboard, not Swype. Also, on other ROMs Tank Hero crashes too and this game has no option to use keyboard at all.
I'll give a a try anyway and report back. Thanks for idea.
EDIT: I just flashed stock XXKF2 kernel on Lite'ning 1,5 ROM and game still not crashing, so i guess problem is somewhere else. BTW, after flashing this kernel i don't have anymore previously mentioned problems with some apps force closing. I'm starting to love my phone
