I'm seeing this issue / crash on some devices:

java.lang.RuntimeException
in android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$EglHelper.throwEglException

Zenfone2 (Z00A) ZenFone 5 (ASUS_T00J) Galaxy S4 (ja3g) Galaxy Tab2 7.0 (espressorf) HTC One M9+ (htc_hiau_ml_tuhl) Galaxy Tab3 10.1 (santos10lte) Galaxy Note4 (trltechn)

potentially relevant:

to do:

• try OF 0.9 and test on a device that this happens (a few people have emailed me about crashes and offered to test apks)
• get a device that this crash happens on and look at the gl allocation on 0.8.4

this is the commit to look at, apparently newer phones don't want this color mode (and just want 8,8,8):

Got this down to just Redmi Phones across multiple OS. Not sure why, maybe stencil still debugging
