[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Let me start out by saying I bought this game, twice...I have yet to be refunded. As many of you know when this game first came out it wasn't compatible with the Galaxy Nexus, it wasn't until the 2nd day of sales that our devices were blocked from seeing it in the market. Earlier today Rockstar upgraded the game to 1.1, but I wasn't able to get it through the market, so I got it by other means. The game launched this time and downloaded the data files, but it strangely finished after 47%. The game plays fine, doesn't have audio during gameplay for some reason. It doesn't multitask, when you hit home, then go back to the game it will start up from scratch. (After putting the audio files on the Galaxy Nexus myself it works fine, I guess thats what didn't download since there are about 200mb of audio files). I've been playing the game on my iPhone the past few days, and I must say the experience is much better on the Galaxy Nexus, the bigger controls, more vibrant colors, and bigger screen really make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
FYEAH Buddy! Looks like Release 4 of my theme will have to wait since I'll be too busy killing hookers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
your forgeting the multitouch issue

see my post: Gnex Game thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
I haven't encountered that yet in GTA, but it did happen 4-5x during Shadowgun. I still had no trouble beating the game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
The multi touch issues dosnt depend on what games you play. It will happen when ever multi touch is needed after a while.

Ive have a thread with a poll, wanting to find out how many people have this bug:

its hard to notice. but when you accelerate and you turn. your car slows down. or when you push turn and than accelerate than it wont even move(might not bo on all device's)

shadowgun doesnt even start on my gnex

i only have it with just a view games
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Denniz0229:
I did the same thing, although audio worked fine and all packages downloaded normally to 100%

still no multitouch though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
I also have the 1.1 version, it launched, downloaded data and then I found myself at the android home screen. Now when I try to open the app, it closes immediately. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Uninstall then reinstall it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
I already tried that, and I also downloaded the data again :/ Which Android version are you using? Mine is 4.0.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
4.0.1, nonrooted, stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LosAngeles:
4.0.2 rooted downloaded and runs fine, How is everyones frame rate? Gets a little choppy for me at times. Should be better when it's officially compatible with the galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
I can't even see it on the market on the phone, when searching on the market site it says its not compatible with galaxy nexus yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Everything is fine for me. There was more lag/choppiness on the iPhone 4, it is a single core phone

They haven't changed the restriction, you'll probably see it tomorrow. You can get apks outside of the market, but that's all I'm saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LosAngeles:
Ahh I see, Guess it was just acting up at that moment.. seems to be running fine now.

Hmmm it's showing up in the market for me. I bought it for $5.30 with tax If I recall

LTE nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
So has anybody gotten it to work with 4.0.3? I have tried pretty much everything to get it to work..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
wrong,this 1.1 isnt the GNEX update.

and this is the video showing the touch issue.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Zfi3i1ejs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Im not experiencing any issues with the game
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ciscostud:
Works on my gnex perfect so far! Feels like 60fps. Killing hoes for 30 minutes now and it used 9% of my battery(GSM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quentin0:
Not compatible with AOSP 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
Yep I did some testing, works on 4.0.2 but not on 4.0.3, both tested with stock kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
Worked for me with bigxies AOSP 4.0.3 rom + franco's kernel. Downloaded all the required files and ran fine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cozzeck:
I'm using aosp 4.0.3 and it runs great here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
works after reinstalling and redownloading files :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn707:
Thanks for the heads up! I got the Apk off my Note and put it on my Nexus, working great. I dont even know why but I am really pumped. Now i cant wait till they get Vice City!

enable higher res textures in GTA3 for the SGN:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11922-gt...-the-touchpad/page__view__findpost__p__296131

Ive tried it and it looks GREAT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
Though the game looks good all the controls are made considerably smaller and appear in the wrong place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
can anyone try using their PS3 controller + sixaxis with gta3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQIJzP145Y

I think the emulated touch inputs really mess up the touchscreen, sometimes forcing a battery pull. Anyone else having the same results?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Why dont they have GTA 1 and 2 in the market? Those were my games back in the day. I never even played the actual game outside of racking up stars and racing cops. Perfect time waster for a mobile game.

-Galaxy Nexus

-Asus Transformer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
You can adjust and resize the controls
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
that config only makes it 1024*768 right ?, why not modify it for the full usable GN screen area (minus buttons) ie 1184*720
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
Bigxies nightly 3 works! Cool, now to kill some hookers :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
I bought the game during the $0.10 sale, before it was marked as incompatible. Then it got marked as incompatible...now the market website is saying it's incompatible with my device, and searching for it from my phone doesn't even show the game.

Is this normal? I see within this thread some people are saying they see it on the market, while others say they can't, and had to download the game elsewhere...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
I uploaded a new gta3.set with best improvement.

- Car lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights

- Detailed Shadows, Traffic Lights, Blood

- Hi Resolution

just download attached zip file (gta3.zip), and copy extracted file (gta.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3

- backup existing one

Basically it is .set file specific for Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
I finally found out the final culprit for my issue with GTA 3 not running properly. It was the /system/bin/sdcard binary tweak that is built in to some kernels/ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SnowmanAndy:
Is there anywhere I can get the apk from and pay other than the market? I still can't see the download in market place, says it's incompatible with all my devices. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
GTA 3 HiRes V 0.2

This fixed the issue for me where I couldn't turn and drive at the same time. Thanks!

Wow, was very pleased with your first one and now there's an update!

Thanks once again, I'll put this on now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mixedlemon:
The modified gta3.set file fixed my touchscreen steering problems, too.

Thanks Crios!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
can anyone else try this?

I would love to play GTA3 on the big screen with my ps3 controller + mhl, but it seems any touch input emulation really messes up the touchscreen until reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mholl044:
Didn't know this was out, I'm gonna have to download it now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
The market will let me download to my i9000, if I download it on that and then copy the apk across does that break the market link on my gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowhatch:
just downloaded the apk from here

installed, downloaded the game content (~450mb, at around 2.5mb/s over LTE FTW), and working beautifully. Its amazing how far technology has come lol, we have a pocket ps2. HDMI the phone to a tv, and then use a bluetooth controller and you got on hell of travel companion. simply amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
I don't appear to have any in game sound? menus make noise but appart from that nothing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr_foxy2001:
Why is this not in the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
Cause when it first came out v1.0 it wasn't compatible with ICS so now it is set not to show, hopefully they will update it to show again soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azshorty2003:
Works on my Bionic! Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:

Perhaps now is a good time to remind everyone of the forum rules, especially #6 and #9. Even if you're just trying to help one person out who has paid for it, you're still posting a link to warez.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LosAngeles:
So who wants to be first to try installing the RealGTA mod to their phone? It should... sorta.. work, since this is a port from the pc. Or maybe it'll just break the app altogether. I'll try it

Edit: Well Installed it, Game runs and SOME of the RealGTA mods work.. but uhhhh now i have no wheels on any of my cars :P or some of them are giant. also i dont think any of the vehicle mods worked so thats probably a cause of it. reverting to backup files now..

heyyy but at least its possible to mod this game, thatll bring in lots more play time for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
This is working on Pete's 4.0.3 build!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Galaxy Nexus support is now official, but it's still showing as incompatible in the market. I guess that will change tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I was able to buy it and installed it to my Nexus as a supported phone. I have a LTE Nexua
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5yb2Nrc3Rhci5ndGEzIl0.

It's on sale! $2.99 Grab it while its hot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Would people who have bought it mind saying what ICS version they have? And whether they are using LTE/GSM?

I have the GSM Nexus, on 4.0.1, and it is showing as incompatible still to me, even though GN support has been added :(

Maybe only 4.0.2 is supported, or the LTE version?

Either way it's really annoying I can't buy it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
I hate how I have GTA and Modern Combat 3 running perfectly on my GSM Galaxy Nexus (4.0.1), but they both show up as incompatible in the market. This is especially ghey because some of these great new games are on sale too. It makes me not want to buy the games when they finally do "become" compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juicemane_:
The issue is probably something in your build.prop that registers on the market as a world device... The GSM Galaxy is not official in the US hence the reason you are having issues, those of us with the LTE Galaxy are not having the same issues. I wonder if there is a way to mask the GSM Galaxy as the LTE Galaxy for Market Compatibility?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
I'm abroad now, I'm thinking about trading my GSM Nexus for an LTE Nexus. I wish the LTE Nexus had a GSM/UMTS radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
I'm running 4.0.2 GSM and it is listed as incompatible, I bought it before it was hidden. the only way I could update was to download it to my i9000 and then copy the apk accross..

(On a side note thought I'd have a look at some mods too but it doesn't seem to like car mods? my modded image file reverts to its original size as soon as I copy it to the phone? I haven't done an md5 yet to check if it has yet.. ?? )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karmatt:
I tried stock 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 and with my current AOSP 4.0.3 and it still says incombatible...

I guess they will change it soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rich_bown:
I had same no gameplay sound issue. Deleted downloaded game data and re downloaded it and it fixed the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unleashed12:
I want to buy this game again, so badly...

I was over half done the game on my iphone 4s, but now i got a gnex... gonna have to do everything all over again :( played it non stop since the day it came out on the 4s haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Sucks to be me: I don't have any other Android devices compatible with the game and I'm also on a GSM Galaxy Nexus. Can't update it, can't reinstall it though I've paid for it. Can't sideload it as have no other device it will install to to pull the APK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I have to say, this has to be one of the best touch games I have played in a while. I love how it's nearly a direct port of GTA 3.

Anyone having issues pausing the game, needing to hit back multiple times. And closing the app in the window change for ICS doesn't remove the running notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
ive got 1.1 running eaglesblood 4.0.3 it will download but then closes afterwards. i tried uninstalling the data and and apk and reinstalling but still closes goes back to home screen any solutions?

also running chainfire 3d with nvidia plugin so i can play other games

edit, franco kernel is whats ruining it for me, does anyone have another fast kernel they can recommend that works with gta for them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Use a 4.0.3 stock kernel. If you are using Franco or another custom kernel, they have a modified sdcard binary that causes gta to crash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Gta iii 1.2

Also added support for GN officially,

GTA 3 on GSM Galaxy Nexus : FIXED!

Just got a ticket back from Rockstar this is fixed and now at least on Web Android Market it let me push the install of v1.2 to my Galaxy Nexus: (WAS NOT SHOWING UP IN ANDROID MARKET ON DEVICE)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
It's showing as compatible now for me as well now!

GSM, 4.0.1, UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
anyone know of a stock 4.0.3 kernel? can't seem to find it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
same here, i like eaglesblood, would like to stick with this rom for a while. does anyone have a 4.0.3 image i can fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
You can use francos kernel, but you have to replace the sdcard binary in your /system/bin with the stock one. Then it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
well i just learned i cant copy paste it with root explorer, how can i change the bin folder? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karmatt:
push it while in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Graphics are gorgeous with this set! Multitouch issue is also gone! Many thanks :D

Showing as compatible for me also and downloading on arhd2.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ande_uk:

this is now compatible with UK GNEX GSM.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Updated mine to 1.2 this morning, it had to uninstall 1.1 first. But I temporarily renamed the gta data folder so it didn't get deleted. Funny thing is that is reverted the gta.set file to the original one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
anyone else notice that you cant have chainfire with plugins and play this game? as soon as i uninstall chainfire the game runs perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
you have a link to the stock sdcard binary?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abz54:
I managed to get stock binary but it didn't work unless I did something wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Did u change the permissions on the binary to allow execute permisson?

From the shell run

Chmod 777 sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abz54:
I replaced the file in the from zip and reflashed, haven't tried this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
suggestion: to go back to stock kernel, grab a 4.0.3 stock rom zip, extract boot.img, flash that with fastboot, reboot, w00t
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
Still shows as incompatible when using Roman's AOKP 4.0.3 :(

I'm guessing its to do with the fingerprint he uses for his ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
Imoseyon's Newest Lean kernel on the latest Bugless build runs the game well.. It has the stock SD card Binary i suppose
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abz54:
Can u post the link
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skitals:
adb root
adb remount
adb push sdcard /system/bin
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/sdcard
adb reboot

I don't have enough posts on the forum to post the mediafire link with the proper sdcard file...

So grab an unmolested copy and you can use those adb commands to push it over and set the proper permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abz54:
I can confirm this works, just place the sdcard file in the folder that contains adb-windows.exe, here's a fresh version of the file that is needed and follow above, thanks to jkoljo for the file

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
man I'm really struggling with bomb da base part ii. Eight ball is suicidal and runs faster than you can aim with the sniper. This is one of those things that would be easier on a concole. Iv watched a video on how to do it just can't aim or move the dot fast enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
There is a great walkthrough on YouTube, it only took me one try. It helps to block him with a car. There's usually an eash way to do these missions especially with a good vantage point and a sniper rifle. There's this one mission where you have to through a grenadr through a window. It took me about 5 throws until I go it in the window, luckily I was wearing armor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LosAngeles:
Just get on the top of the warehouse and don't zoom in at all, had no trouble with this mission when doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h40:
EDIT: I figured it out, I just had to complete the first mission, otherwise it doesn't autosave.

Can anyone tell me how to save a game? I can't figure out to save it, and it doesn't seem to be autosaving either. I get back going to the first mission at Luigi's and haven't gone further than after I get the quest/mission, shouldn't it have autosaved by now?

There's no option to save?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davedave1234:
GTA3 downloaded about 50% then died and keeps crashing. Might be a rom issue? going to try different kernal and see how that goes.

EDIT: uninstalled and reinstalled and it now downloaded 100% but still crashes, must be a rom/kernal issue

going to play with it tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheez99:
Newest version of the game still crashing on my device. I've used 3 different ROMs, including stock, and a few different kernels. I was able to download the extra data required for the game, but after that it just crashes with no error every time I launch it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Cheers for replys guys. I'm gonna have a blast at on my 360, I found I had gta 3 and vice city, well my little bro does so gonna play it big screen :cool:

My main difficulty is just the curser moves so slowly to aim and eight ball runs too quickly into like 5 guys with military spec guns. He has no sence of self preservation and in actual fact us like him to cover me while I plant a $100000 bomb which you have to buy.

Oh well, rant over. Now to update my 360 to play original Xbox games :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Cleared data in app settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Firstly I'm sorry for going quite off topic here but this is most relavant place I see here in gnex forum to ask without a new thread....

All this playing GTA 3 on gnex got me feeling a little nostalgic and fancied a blast on vice city, I'm talking about on Xbox 360 here with original Xbox disc. So I got this message saying its not compatible and update is required, so I download the latest software from Xbox.com and ran the update which made my Xbox look like WP7 with grey back ground and that so its definatley up to date and still it won't play the game. I cleared system cache, formatted HDD, deleted and reinstalled the update. Now I wouldn't mind if the game was shown as not compatible with 360 but Xbox list it as compatible. Same with gta 3 original Xbox disc on a 360

Any ideas guys? And again sorry for OT!

http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/f/8/t/25.aspx gone through this check list

Why does this stupid game run without completely downloading first?

Got to 51% and for whatever reason went back to my home screen... clicked the GTA icon and the game started but there's no sound past the main menu. Also experienced some multi-touch issues while walking and trying to hit the buttons on the right side of the screen.

Uninstalling and trying again..

Runs great on Unnamed Rom, took away SystemUI. Mod gtg had and replaced it with your stock themed one. Thats the only thing I can say that I would want. But other than that. Great Theme, It actually looks better on the Touch than it did on the OG Epic. Like you style!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
You're saying it's not overwriting the SystemUI on Unnamed? Or you removed it from the zip?
