The game crashes instantly on launch on my Android device

Describe your problem:

• Device: iQOO 12
• OS: OriginOS 6 (Android 16)
• osu!lazer version: 2026.804.2-lazer
• The game shows a black screen for a few seconds and then crashes immediately.
• I have already placed the input.json file (which disables MIDI integration) into the Android/data/sh.ppy.osulazer/files/ folder, but the crash persists.
• I have also tried clearing the cache and adjusting ANGLE settings in Developer Options, without success.

osu!lazer version:

Computer Specifications:

• CPU: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: Adreno 750
• Storage: 1TB

supplement:
I have already followed the workaround mentioned in #37154 (placing input.json to disable MIDI), but the issue still occurs. This suggests the crash may have a different cause on my device.

Yeah.. as you said, it looks like there's still something wrong with the MIDI stuff:

are you 100% sure you applied the file correctly? (I see in the input.log files a [MIDI] Attempting to connect MIDI device: MidiManager dev) Check the reply down below.

It's also weird that the runtime log just cuts abruptly with this:

2026-09-19 08:25:52 [verbose]: Failed to get fullscreen display mode. Display index: 0. SDL error:

with no printed error (maybe it's normal?). Not sure if it's related to ANGLE, but the logs seem to show that the game is using it.. so I don't know.

There's also that weird pop-up thing popping up, I guess it's some kind of game booster? Can you confirm what is it?

It's also interesting that both you and the user in #37154 are using the Snapdragon 8 chipset, not sure if it's just a coincidence or if it's irrelevant.

We'll see what the devs can deduce here.

To add on the input JSON file: make sure you put the correct settings in it (an empty file is not enough). You can try using the file provided by Joehuu in that thread: #37154 (comment)
