[Android] PPSSPP will only start with CPU usage overlay on in developer options.

So I have this odd issue and also an odd phone.

I have an UMI C1 with the following specs:

OS
Android 4.4.2
Kernel
3.4.67
builder2015@server-desktop #1
Fri Sep 5 15:42:51 CST 2014
CPU
MTK6582, Cortex A7 quad core, 1.3GHz
RAM
1GB
ROM
16GB
Display Size
5.5inch
Type
LTPS, corning III gorilla glass, OGS screen
Resolution
1280 x 720 pixels HD screen
Battery Capacity
2430mAh
Weight
160g
Size
154.5 x 76.5 x 7.9mm

So the funny thing is if I start PPSSPP up without having the CPU overlay enabled in the developer options, it'll just go immediately black and stay there for about 10 minutes and then the phone reboots. While the screen is black, nothing on the phone is available : keys don't work, notifications can't be accessed, etc.

Turning on CPU overlay however allows PPSSPP to start up perfectly. Once in memory I can play any game just fine (only tested P3P Portable though seeing as it is the only game I own for now).

Attached is a pic of the CPU info, not sure if that will help.

PPSSPP Version:
0.9.9.1-937-g473f388 is what I'm currently using but this also occurs with the latest stable.
