Oo that's like 2000 bucks here.. Costly eh..

That's what happens when there's fragmentation.

Well now install the above mention mod to the game and let us know if Samsung beats apple! :)
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
When you say 2000 bucks I'm thinking your saying 2000 rupees in india... :P

I suggest if you don't have a ps3 its not worth that kind of money just to use for the phone... just go to one of the million online gaming forums for India and look in the marketplace for someone selling a slightly used one... can probably save a good amount there and since you wont use it too often can probably get away with using a slightly used rather than a brand spanking new one... ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Japots:
Newest update adds support for SGS2. I can confirm it no longer freezes. The tradeoff it seems is that they synched the draw() with the update(), so instead of screen freezes, you get little lag hiccups where it would usually freeze. It's not buttery smooth, but it's more playable than before. Looking forward to further optimizations by R*
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
Mm, yes, but still graphics etc are poor unless .set file is replaced manually...

It still shows as incompatible with your device. I really wanted to buy it now that it's on sale and official support for SGS2 is out.

Reporting that the gta 1.2 update seemed to do the trick for me. Just played over an hour with the 4pda gta.set with no freezes or lags.. Even cutscenes were freeze free. Merry christmas to all xda users!

elmonen: Good news! I have updated my game to 1.2 version. Will check the 4pda set file ;) hopefully no lags on my device as well (if MIUI don't have any specific issues with the game, it should work then).

Marry Christmas & Happy New Year for you as well :)
[Galaxy S II General] maddada:
i flashed to stock kk5 then back to miui just to see if gta would stop crashing.. no luck.

i tried 1.1 and 1.2 and it kept crashing the exact same way it did with miui...

hope they fix it soon, im playing gangstar instead.. (its nothing compared to gta, but still better than nothing)

[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
Weird, I doubled checked now that you ask, and it seems that in Chainfire3D I had the old settings using nVidia plugin and ticked unroll textures and reduce texture size.

Maybe the game thought that I have a nVidia GPU and downloaded another texture pack. But the thing is that now is working very well, no stuttering, the cutscenes are smooth. With the previous versions the game was unplayable.

but it crashes at the begining mision where you escape prision and start to drive.

What ROM do you recommend. (its been a while since i mod a phone, last time was an HTC Tilt.. loooong time ago.)

Hope you can help.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] ohyeahar:
The Columbians standing next to their cars at the base of the plank is the primary reason this mission is so difficult for most people. If you didn't have to deal with them, all you have to do is aim your sniper rifle on the ship and sweep from left to right, killing everybody you see.

Here's how to get rid of them. The trick is to get them lost without killing them. Because if you kill them, one of two things will happen.

1. If Eightball is in position, he'll start approaching the ship. He'll most certainly be mowed down by the guys on the ship. Or

2. If Eightball is not in position, the mission will fail.

Leave Eightball behind somewhere. I like to leave him in the Supasave parking lot.

Approach the Columbians in a car. They'll run after you and shoot at you. Make your way out of the docks while maintaining a safe distance. You want to be close enough for them to chase you but far enough for their bullets to be mostly harmless. Once they're outside the walls of the docks, ignore them. Don't kill them!

Go pick up Eightball and proceed with the mission as normal.
[Galaxy S II General] iNeri:
Its normal mate, for some reason the game took 1 or 2 boots to become stable, Try uninstall the apk and wipe data in sd card and redownload. May be you come from 2.3.3 version of telcel where you install in firts place the game???
[Galaxy S II General] gucio_28:
iNeri- you are right. If you're running any 2.3.x ROM you have to start this game about three times, then it becomes stable and you can play it without crashes. If it's annoying for you I think you should try ICS rom from CyanogenMod 9 or one from Wanam. On ICS game doesn't crash, i don't know why, but it's true:) See for yourself:)

Best regards

[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
Not yet, not tried it in a while still angry that I cant do it!

I will try standing on a car, but only problem is if you miss then it usually rebounds and likely to blow the car up?

I've read if you use the sniper rifle, aim for the window, then switch immediately to the grenades, dont move, then you will be aimed directly at the window. it isnt perfect as you still need to be the right distance away, but ive got closest doing that.

Also, if you're worried about cops getting you, get a bus or a large vehicle, and block the escape route on the right of the window, so when they come out you can get shotgun out and finish the mission.

As for the sniper mission, I did it second time, dont zoom all the way in, as moving the scope while fully zoomed seems to be slower and you cant move on to the next target quick enough. My mate said that he found a "drugs" power up nearby which slows the entire game down and makes it easier too, so thats worth a try if you can find it.

My crashing problem is solved

Hello,

I just solved my GTA 3 "crashing problem" today.

I use location profile program called "Llama" so my settings change when I am at home, at work, travelling etc.

That program is always running on the background when I use my phone and have had no problems with other games/applications while using Llama.

Rockstar support asked to check that if some program would cause game crashing (usually game crashes quite often, sometimes I could play longer).

I closed that program completely and after that I have had no crashes with GTA3; I can play it as long as I want to. :D

I do not know if your problem is related on any program or not but that helped me. I hope you find the reason of crashing (that made me mad also). :mad:

Software decoding????

Diceplayer is a HW accelerated Media player for android. It use HW video decoder at various containers and audio codecs combination.

Dual Core/High end devices ( Sensation , Galaxy S/S2 , Nexus-S ) can play 720p MKV/AVI.

Diceplayer drains less battery than SW based players.

[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
Yea, but those are not HIGH profile files, they must be main profile. They may be 720p, but a less complex encoding that consumes more bitrate for the same picture quality. I download all my TV shows in the highest native resolution with little to no compression (talking 45gb blu ray rips) which are ALL high profile h264. If I had to convert those I'd go nuts. Its why I've waited for the transformer prime as tegra 3 overcomes this limitation. This is a KNOWN issue, just search on it. I've played 1080p blu ray rips off ntfs hard/flash drives with no issues (i know our resolution on the screen is pitiful but I didn't want to shrink the files). If its internal even better over hdmi.

I still say exynos is superior as a SOC, as a package. Now if were comparing mali vs tegra gpu, that's a bit more complex. The articles I've read are kind of a draw. They each have their strong suits in different benchmarks. I'd say its a draw technologically, but the tegra wins for "support" only because nvidia is afraid of mobile taking away gamers from PC s (not all, but some) and is agressively bribing companies to make their games ONLY run on tegra. Very wrong imo. Now, chainfire is a simple, engenious solution that essentially resolves this issue. When you also factor in the cpu its no contest. Exynos is superior. I know benchmarks aren't always accurate but exynos is almost always on top. In addition, this thing overclocks to 1.6 (my daily driver) where tegra stock is 1.0. Just bought my mom the original transformer and was not happy with the lag and deterioration of image quality when scrolling and transitions as an effect to cover its poor performance. Its certainly not terrible, but its no exynos :)

Would you please be so kind and tell me the url of a small test file that you are sure is "high profile h264".

[Galaxy S II General] SirCanealot:
I really don't understand why people defend Tegra. Even when I sit there explaining how slow and crappy Tegra is to people they still defend it. Tegra was slow when it came out, and it's slow today. CPU performance is generally fine, but the GPU performance is terrible. And what really disappoints me is that they never released a 1.2ghz part. A 1.2ghz part would have alleviated a lot of the performance gap, but they didn't seem to bother :/

If you know anything about NVidia PC GPUs, it's really the same thing... Big, hot, under-performing for the die size... ¬_¬

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17

I mean, even the SGX 540 beats the Tegra in one of the tests. I remember running a benchmark on the Atrix in 800x480 and it scored 15fps, and my SGS2 scored 50fps.

As I said, defending Tegra really makes no sense. Sure, it's a decent product, but it's a slow, hot, under-performing part that was delayed insanely. Tegra 3 is going to be the same: it's the first quad core part out, but it's going to be over-shadowed in a few months once decent parts start coming out.
[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
Not without violating forum rules, but if you visit the bay of pirates, search for the largest file of a major TV show, check the description of encoding and you'll likely find one.

Also when googling "high profile h264" the second google suggested search was "high profile h264 tergra 2" with many people complaining of its lack of support. People with much higher post and thanks counts than you who have tried getting it to work and fail. If I have free time later (unlikely) I'll render my own test file, although I feel the experiences of many other xda users is good enough...

I agree the Tegra 2s GPU was already outdated when it was released. In most Benchmarks it is even slower then the underclocked sgx 540 in the Hummingbird (Galaxy S1 series).

The Exynos and its Mali 400 on the other hand is still by far the best GPU in any Android phone. Thanks to Chainfire I can play every game with 16x MSAA, it looks fantastic and everything is absolutly fluid.

Even the Tegra 3 GPU isn't much faster.

My conclusion: I think with Chainfire 3D we can play this game on our GS2 better than on any other phone

Can't remember the specifics,but all the info is on the forums.

Then you just have to root, install cf3d,load the driver in the app then run the game.
