It now loads up to finishing startup...then black screen forge is still loaded in memory and if i bring the window in front it start loading from the begining again.
Log says nothing it seems
Newer Forge needs more RAM, 3GB allows it to load but it's not optimal for use along with card images. I don't know what last version allows to load 2GB RAM or less.
EDIT: I load latest Snapshots on my old Galaxy Tab S, 3GB RAM, Android 6.0.1, it runs ok (Just for testing though)..

Thank you kevlahnota for that fix, you are awesome as always!
I have installed the latest snapshot and I have the same problem as krevett already described, that is Forge crashes right after finishing startup. More precisely, the "crash" is actually a short black screen for about two seconds, then the Forge app is still active in memory, and when I bring it back in front it restarts loading. This cycle repeats itself and Forge never starts properly. Here is the log file:

I use a Galaxy A3 with Android 6.0.1 and 1.5 GB RAM. My phone ran Forge properly until recently but now it seems to not be supported anymore. I understand that it is a somewhat older model and that it can't be supported forever. My humble opinion is that it is not that old though: I purchased it at the store less than five years ago and it's still working very well. I actually chose an Android phone for one and only reason: to be able to play Magic on Forge. For all these years Forge for Android has been my only way to play our beloved game (as the desktop version as well as all other ways to play Magic are not possible for me). I used to play with Forge on a regular basis until recently when it stopped working on my device.
For all these reasons and because a phone upgrade is unfortunately not an option, I would very much appreciate it if one of you, amazing Forge developers, could suggest a solution for the less fortunate among us who still use an older device. Thank you very much in advance!
I am grateful for the fantastic work that everyone of you has done with Forge during these years as well as for your time and dedication to it, for the benefit of all users.
