It is not necessary to do illegal stuff. I am just trying to find a file we both agree is a high quality, demanding high profile 1080p.

Would you agree that the .mov file you can download on the first page of www.glbenchmark.com is a high profile 1080p that you say Tegra 2 can´t play?

that is to get it to run the pre-fixed version of Shadowgun but it will load everything you need.
[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
NO, see the image below. Notice "Main @ L4.1" ? You'd think as someone so hell bent on defending Tegra2 and "proving" that whatever Tegra2 device you bought is just as good as exynos, you might have done a quick google, downloaded the info tool and provided this info yourself. Although then you'd also be proving yourself wrong, so I guess I understand...

The resolution of a file doesn't mean a DAMN thing as far as the codec complexity involved in playing it. The codec level simply defines the complexity of the encoding, which in turn requires more advanced hardware to decode/encode as complexity goes up. This is what allows for a reasonable file size with still amazing quality and lower bitrate, making up the difference in the work required to play it, which the Tegra 2 lacks. The fact that that video is so ungodly large (at just under 2 minutes) should have been your first clue.

I said it before and I'll say it again. PEOPLE MUCH SMARTER THAN YOU have already come to the conclusion that Tegra 2 won't play high profile codec files. Under software rendering (CPU not GPU) in some apps (which will suck down battery faster than an HTC Thunderbolt hotspotting LTE) may be able to cope with certain low bitrates (and will fail/stutter at higher bitrates you'd actually want to use), it certainly won't match the exynos which, with set cpu, you can set at 200mhz no higher, play a damn blu-ray rip at high-profile 40mbps 1080p without skipping a beat, ALL on the gpu I might add. I know, I used it on a 12 hour flight earlier this year. I clocked the cpu down with setcpu to 200-500mhz conservative (200 is just too slow to navigate the gui) and was able to watch any file off my media center server without a hitch (with amazingly long battery life).

So, can we call this issue resolved then? Arguing a point after losing it just appears desperate. Sorry for the hostility, but in my day to day life there's nothing in the world more annoying to me than people who pretend to know what they're talking about, despite being proven wrong, then still claiming to other people that they're knowledgeable. It's what's responsible for this plague of ignorance we have here in the world today... The stupid-and-confident leading the stupid...

By the way, as a video engineer/editor, I work with this stuff for a living. I didn't just google this today and proclaim myself an expert. Every day I have doctors and douchebag corporate drones coming at me with 40 different file formats and its my job to make sure they either play, or convert them to something that does. This isn't my first goat-f***

Snap..;)
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Just let it go man...obviously you don't own a SGSII with exynos and own a tegra2 device otherwise it wouldn't make sense in you defending it like helms deep.

Its been proven that a long long time ago that tegra2 is inferior than Samsungs own cpu offering.

Just let it go...you're making a fool outta yourself on here...:s
[Galaxy S II General] JccageX2:
Don't have any apps like that I think, well none that would interfere with it anyways :/
[Galaxy S II General] Okkx:
This is good :)
[Galaxy S II General] crisse78:
Hi,

Here are the full instructions I received from Rockstar when I reported crashing problem with GTA3, I hope you this helps to solve the issue:

"Close Background Applications

Crashing may be caused by playing GTA III while other applications are running in the background. To fix this use an application such as Advanced Task Killer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&hl=en) to minimize the number of processes running in the background while playing GTA III

Reboot the Device

It may also help to restart the device and run GTA III from the fresh boot with no other applications running. To reboot the device: Some phones have their own unique soft boot methods, but the safest bet is to turn the phone off, wait 30 seconds, and then turn it back on.

Hard Reset the Device if Still Crashing After Rebooting

Free Up Space on the Device

Try making some room on your device if it is filled with other applications and data.

To rule out possible data corruption, delete the game from your Android device and then re-download it from the Android Market. Be sure that there is enough space for that game and your signal is strong enough to complete the download.

Update the OS/Firmware

Please ensure that you are running the latest OS/Firmware on your phone or tablet.

Android: Press the "Home" button. Then press the "Menu" button (four horizontal lines, the word "Menu," or four small squares), then select "Settings." Select "About Phone." Choose "System Updates" and follow the on-screen directions to install any updates, if necessary. The lowest supported version is 2.2, but we recommend updating to the latest available.

Determine if Other Applications are Causing a Conflict

Occasionally, unforseen conflicts may arise between applications and uninstalling some of them may help to isolate the issue.

Android: Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications and uninstall other applications that may be interfering with GTA III. This may be particularly helpful if you are able to see in the error log (directions for recording error logs are in a later section) which other Application could be running in the background, causing a problem.

Restore the Device

If you are definitely using a supported device and one or more of your applications is crashing consistently, try restoring your device.

If your device is supported and you are crashing frequently in GTA III 10th Anniversary Edition and/or other applications, consider a factory reset. Note that you will lose data and settings. To perform a reset from the Home screen, go to Menu->Settings->SD & Phone Storage->Factory data reset->Confirm.

Check the Crash Log

On Android, we recommend downloading a free app such as aLogcat (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en) to monitor any errors or crashes that occur on your device.

This is useful not only when submitting tickets to Rockstar for help, but also as a way to determine yourself what processes or conflicts may be causing the problem.

If you could forward on the error log file if the problem is still present we will be able to look into the issue further".
[Galaxy S II General] alexhull24:
I've kept the data files to transfer across, but I can't get the game from the market - it either doesn't show at all, or with a direct link says it's not compatible with my device. I'm using ICS 4.03 (CM9) as well. Did you perform a tweak to get it to work, or was it restored with TB or similar?
[Galaxy S II General] -pól-:
I used Titanium Backup to restore mine when I switched to CM9. Works perfectly, but with a slight stuttering lag at some times (probably at the point where it used to crash on CM7). Nearly finished the game now.

Also it could be useful for you guys to use cheats. I'e used some on my other save just to mess about with the tank. If you install WiFiKeyboard (free from the market), you can use the same cheats as in the PC version. Just type them in on your computer.
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
I'm on checkrom rom but the 1.2 version is running fine but I use nvidia plugin

and I have also light stuttering where it supposed to freeze but better have sometimes

lags then freezes its good playable now.

Gta 3 save file all hidden packages

All hidden packedges, all perimedic mission, fire fighter missions, vigilante missions, taxi missions, emergency vehicle exports, Portland and shore side vale exports are done. The safe houses are loaded with all the goodies which are all weapons, armor, health, adrenaline pill, six police bribes. Staunton island safe house has bullet proof cheetah and special taxi in garage and Portland has bullet proof patriot. And you have all weapons with tons of ammo. Enjoy!!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] JccageX2:
Fixed the crashing. Well sort of.

For those with crashing problems on the Galaxy S2 - When it freezes (as in about to crash) Hold the back button until the "Press back once more to exit" message comes up. Wait until gameplay or normal sounds resumes in the background (or it might not, but after 10 seconds or so it should be okay) and just touch the screen, and you've stopped it from crashing!

I earlier thought crashing problem was solved by not using Llama location profile application but I was wrong. The game still crashed every now and then even when the Llama application was closed. :(

Thanks to your tip I managed to continue playing when the game was about to crash! :cool:

That is great, now I can use that high resolution settings gta3.set file and still play almost normally. Previously when I used modified settings file the game crashed all the time, now the crashes can be prevented :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Steering/controlling a vehicle in this game is AWFUL!

wish they would fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] vinvam:
Is it just me or does the game tend to crash often when there are gunshots?

On a sidenote, I've been stuck on "salvatore's called a meeting" for weeks now because the game keeps crashing shortly after I pick up Salvatore and all the. trucks start chasing me.
[Galaxy S II General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I thought there would be further updates...

I guess I was wrong.

Shouldn't have bought this app!!
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
You can always refund, if you make a ticket in their technical support.

But I'm pretty sure that they're working on fixes, just wait a little bit more ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Taimur Akmal:
Why not just play it on PC? Porting a game of that graphics on Android and Mobile Devices is good but seriously if you are not integrating Gyro and Accelerometer for controls than it's no good as controls take space and no Fun....My OPINION! No Fact.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
I agree, they need to bring in accelerometer to steer.

The arrows & on screen stick are awful.

Arrows don't always work & its near damn impossible to drive in a straight line.

On screen joystick is too sensitive & again, doesn't always register either.

Promising game, which is failing dramatically by its controls. :(

FINALLY 1.3 is out and its freaky good. Rockstar managed to get it worked propperdley for the GSII you can set resolution and quality and many more. No more freezes or lags.

One tip set frame limiter option off and you cant get it smoother.

So search for 1.3
[Galaxy S II General] Guantanamo86:
NICE ONE. the 1.3. runs very well!

and they added the newspaper spam in the city:D
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
They still need to fix low quality cars and fix missing transparent(which are not solid) trees.

Also, i would like to disable vibration, so i hope for version 1.4

Thanks mate! I was so excited so I didnt saw about that, +rep :)
[Galaxy S II General] vinvam:
I finished a different mission on v1.2 and just updated to v1.3 this morning. Everything seemed to be going really well and the graphics looked great! But the game crashed at exactly the same place. :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] DripleX:
For me too... allways when i want to shoot, the game chrashes.

I tested it with a fresh installation, but with the old savegame.
[Galaxy S II General] Guantanamo86:
i have no problems! it runs very smooth....i have tried some mods and it runs!
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
Same here all smooth like a babybutt.
[Galaxy S II General] remmington:
Um guys...i'm having random freezes during the mission "Salvatore's called a meeting". The screen freezes and it sounds like an old HDD, the only solution to the problem is battery out and restart. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

That's the exact mission I've been stuck on for a while now. Even on 1.3. :/
[Galaxy S II General] nightprayer2404:
What ROM do you use? If you only got trouble with that mission, try to redownload the game data.
[Galaxy S II General] davelinders:
When that happens press super fast the back button and hold until you get

the message: "press back again to exit" dont touch the back button now but

just touch the screen and you can keep playing without freezes.

Try it.
[Galaxy S II General] DripleX:
This won't worked for me...

On the first crash it worked, but on the second, when i shoot on people, GTA crashed instantly. There was no time to press the back button.

This happens allways on the mission "pump-action-thriller"..

Before this mission it didn't crash...
[Galaxy S II General] ganstakillerz:
yeah me too. Was playing fine with the odd crash now and then.

Anyhow updated to the latest version this morning and again crashed constantly.

I read rebooting, battery pull, hacking etc are all possible fixes but could be bothered with them.

For whatever reason (can't figure out why I did it) i turned off "Data roaming" and hey presto, that same mission now works fine.

By the way using the latest version I now can play GTA 3 with all Display settings MAX out, boy does that makes a difference to the quality of the graphics.

Hope this help.

By the way Rom: Sensation Rom 1.8 I'm using.

Completed the mission and have tested closing down the game completely and opening up again. All seems to be working OK for now.
[Galaxy S II General] eagleeyes2000:
Works great for me on Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II General] sloanyboy:
I had ics lp2 flashed at the start of the week gta3 worked fine no issue with graphics gameplay etc, came back to 2.3.6 due to ics random reboots and noticed gta doesnt play as well and on the odd occasion freezes, is this just due to the base rom or kernal?
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
The new update has definitely improved the controls, it's now playable for me.

Woop woop. :)

Where is the savefile located and what is the exact name?

Found it with google.
[Galaxy S II General] timonoj:
Savefiles lost!

I wiped by mistake the GTA folder, and undelete won't catch it :(

I was after finishing the mission of Silence the Sneak (which took a damn effort to get that grenade in the goddamn window), and now I see myself starting everything from scratch!

So before that, I'd like to try something else. I was looking for GTA savegames, and found out they are named just the same as it's PC counterpart in Windows. Knowing that in windows savegames are rather well documented and for each level of the game, I downloaded some to try. Android version actually recognises them! It shows the name of the mission, but when I load them, it crashes. It seems to load the level to the very end (99% of the progress bar), then freezes and after a few seconds, it kicks me out :(

Does anybody know what should I do to fix the PC savegame so it works on android? maybe some permission I missed? Or does anybody have the missions Silence the Sneak or Grand Theft Auto?? Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S II General] Blu33:

With these saves one of them at least you'll start with everything
[Galaxy S II General] timonoj:
Exactly...But I just intend to play the game the way it was intended. I don't like cheats. I'd just like to return to the level I was in, with an average level of money, I'll take care of getting the weapons and everything else for myself...
[Galaxy S II General] Blu33:
I beat the game first normally with no cheats and yes the pain in the ass mission was where you have to throw the grenade throw the window it took me forever. I think I might have a save close to here without mods I can check
[Galaxy S II General] adamski123:
Hey guys I have this game installed on my s2 running ics and there's no sound during game play? :L

I have a save called a drop in the ocean?
[Galaxy S II General] timonoj:
Hm...Close but no cigar! It's a bit too advanced. I didn't meet Donald yet...Do you have an earlier one? Thank you so much for the effort!
[Galaxy S II General] Blu33:
No I only have the two modded saves and a beginning normal save that one I told you about and one saved on the last mission.
[Galaxy S II General] timonoj:
Sigh...I guess I'll have to do it all over again. What bothers me is having a savegame the game half recognises (from the PC version), but doesn't fully load :(
[Galaxy S II General] Blu33:
Yea I've tried PC save files my self, suck that they don't work. I got all packages and completed missions on my own then I modded once I was done with everything. It takes forever
[Galaxy S II General] brothertax:
For those of you stuck on Silence the Sneak:

Find a large vehicle and block the ally in which the target escapes. Go to the top of the ramp and point your sniper rifle at the window, you are now aiming right for the window. Adjust your timing so the grenade lands in the window. When the target tries to flee and gets trapped by the large vehicle blocking the ally, throw more nades and blow him up!

Hope that helps.
