It seems that my version of Elite [edit - no longer available] on Android is not behaving very well on the HTC Desire. The comments speak for themselves:
If there are any HTC Desire owners who want to help fix this problem then please get in touch. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but the platform shouldn't crash to such an extent that you have to take the battery out! Especially when the game does run on some HTC Desires as well as on many other types of phone.
I don't know which is more frustrating: the crashes themselves or the attitude of the people leaving these drive-by 1 star reviews. Writing such a comment may make them feel better (hey! my free stuff doesn't work!) but in the long term it doesn't help anybody.
So if you have a Desire and are experiencing crashes, please, please try and send me a "logcat" of the crash so I can work out what's going on and fix it. There's an application in the Market called aLogcat that lets you capture the log and email it out. Check that no personal information is in there (there shouldn't be any) and send me the info if you can. Otherwise there is nothing I can do, short of blacklisting Desires.
On a happier note: A new version of Chaos is out that fixes all the bugs that were reported, except one. The Nintendo DS and GBA versions are based on this same code. Fixes on all platforms are:
Black screen on start up, freezes phone, have to remove battery on HTC desire. I loved this game back in the day too.

- Make sound fx volume more consistent
- Fix dismount wizard bug
- Speed up magic bolt
- Add a message when Meditate's side effect kicks in (it freezes the wizard)
- black screen after pause/resume
