Uninstall the chainfire3D...

I have cm7, OC 1.100 ghz, I use swapper to make a 250mb virtual swap partition and delete the radios audio files from the game folder.
[Defy Themes and Apps] cdlq456:
I now have a problem with the game, it just closes in the middle of a mission, no reason. Can you explain all the steps you've done in order to play it?

PD: if we're both from Argentina, why speak in English? xD
[Defy Themes and Apps] ChirmiPlay:
Hahaha it's true. I think because of the forum's rules.

I gonna wait for install this on my Defy, at least until it's more clear.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Saludo kapos, yo voy a esperar a que todo esto se esclarezca un poco antes de querer instalarlo en mi Defy (la vez que intenté no me anduvo).

So, the game is almost unplayable in my Defy. Lots and lots of slowdowns.

I asked some of the people here for their files to try, but no response so far. Then I saw this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417810

I installed it, but doesn't seem to change anything.

Anyone had any luck with it?
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
I did try the GTAIII Launcher from the thread you've referred to and it works for me....

But otherwise, it's really easy to do the settings changes; everything you need to know is there on the ritchietos' link on post #7.

Or look at my first pic and you'll see how.

OK, since X-mas was not so long ago, I've attached my current gta3.set file.

[I hope this is permitted here.. no warez; just a 4kB settings files ...

I will gladly remove if that causes problem to mods

]

It is set at:

- Low-res (which has no visible drawback anyway)

- Med-low drawing distance

- Cars headlights and street lights ON

- Blood, traffic lights and detailled shadows are OFF.

I can't really say that it solves everything; the game still lags/jitters at times (a lot when it rains and once in a while during heavier scenes).

What also helps is to rename/delete the radios stations, the water and city background sounds in sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio:

(Just sort them by decreasing size order)

CHAT.nfx---
RISE.nfx---
MSX.nfx---
HEAD.nfx---
CLASS.nfx---
LIPS.nfx---
KJAH.nfx---
FLASH.nfx---
GAME.nfx <-- I left this one on in fact
Water.nfx---
City.nfx---

Last tweak

: modded vehicles:

All car models are located inside the image file: oldveh_pvr.img located in sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/Models.

From there copy both oldveh_pvr.img AND oldveh_pvr.dir to your desktop and use IMG Tool (just search for it) to decompile the image file.

Once in there, you can rename (as backup) the 2 files (1 .dff and 1 .TXD) for the car you want to replace. Then add the new car mod files in (with the original name of the files you've renamed) and recompile the file. Take the modded oldveh_pvr.img AND oldveh_pvr.dir and move them on the SD card to overwrite the old ones. Done!

Some modded cars even include the data to change the car behavior on the road.. All there is to do is to edit default.ide and handling.cfg files (in sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/data) with a text editor in order to change the new cars handing, top speed and physics...but I'll leave that to you to explore as well ;)

[Defy Themes and Apps] Omya:

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Have you tried replacing the libstagefright library in /system/lib that Quarx has provided earler? [attached here again] Extract it from the zip (backup the original one) and replace it - don't forget to set its permissions and ownership + reboot.

No need for Chainfire and please read this. ;)

I've just tried it yesterday and it seems that Rockstar did like hacksteak25 did with made the GTA3 Launcher and added a new menu for display options.

I still have to experiment a little bit more with it to optimize things, but I can tell that it works pretty good now with the setup showed on the 1st pic below; even leaving the music on..; so that's a good change. It still has a slight lag occasionally [when it rains for example], but overall much better and more playable.

And it is really nice not to have to edit and replace files, reboot or relaunch the game to tweak things up --> just press the back key, go change the display settings and resume the game...

Resolution higher than the minimum doesn't improve anything visually and what seems to have the most effect is the draw distance that should be at around 25%.

No need for Chain Fire or crazy over clocking: I run mine at 900MHz/48.

"Wasted"

Edit: This performance improvement evaluation is purely subjective and from my personal in-game experience only - end user experience may vary. And NO I will not "link you up" with direct links by PM and I will ignore such request going forward...

Audio performance fix

Has anyone tried the Xperia Play/Ray SD data files posted in this thread? It claims better performance with full audio files.

Currently the game (v1.3) is playable with LOW visuals and 25% draw distance on my Defy with MIUI v2.2.24 but there are occasional lags.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
I've just tried them and that didn't do any better for me. In fact, it made things worst and the guy badly splitted the SD data into 2 archives and once I recombined them into one folder, it has at least 2 broken files. So I wouldn't recommend bother trying them out.
[Defy Themes and Apps] bhupatib:
I agree..the xperia files made things worse for me as well but then I copied V3 version and it does improve performance. The audio folder on it is trimmed down from ~200MB to ~60MB and this is reflected in smoother gameplay.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Cocolopes:
hI AL!.....For me those files work great....my GTA3 its not laggy now...and Im on ICS 3/3/12 build...:D
[Defy Themes and Apps] bhupatib:
Good for you!

Just did a quick search that being a direct port, the sfx.RAW (it contains all the 'environment' sounds) can be edited using 'GTA3 audio editor' (search for it) so one can customize the audio files and delete/replace unnecessary audio which may be slowing down the game (open sfx.lst file in NotePad to see the sound description).

All the other files in the audio folder are just renamed mp3 files for cut scenes and radios and can easily be replaced/modified.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
It will not be that simple to improve things by modding the sfx.RAW file.

The tool is easy to use yes, but you can't really just delete sounds from it - read the 5th post here and you'll see...

Here's an excerpt:

"If for some reason, the game crashes after doing that, there's likely to be two reasons that I can think of. Firstly, you might have deleted one of the sfx*****.wav files - the game will still reference it, and if the file is not in SFX.RAW, the game will crash. So if you do delete any files, make sure you stick new ones in .

The only other potential problem might be in the format of your wav files - the ones that R* uses by default are all mono, 16bit with low sample rates. So if you experience problems with the sounds in-game, you might have to edit the wavs you've created with a sound editor. If you do have to do this, then you'll need to repeat the steps above ..."

On top of that, the sfx.lst file lists the sounds but has no real indication on which of the few thousand audio files inside the SFX.RAW it is. For example, the ice cream truck's siren is listed as: "-- SFX_ICE_CREAM_TUNE TEST\\CREMHORN.WAV" in the sfx.lst but in fact, it corresponds to the sfx00025.wav inside the SFX.RAW [which I just found by luck while listening to a few of the first files]. So if you'd like to remove the rain sounds to improve things, well.. 1- you can't really delete it [see above], 2- good luck finding them and 3- the only option might be to replace them with a close to silent wav file of the same type and bitrate than the original --> all of which might not improve anything to the gameplay afterall...

So in the end, the only real 'quick fix' is still to remove some or all the other .nfx files which as it was suggested from the beginning...

As for the 'plays with no lag claims', well I'm still very sceptical....

I can play the game fine; race, play the missions and have fun around town without having 'much' lag yes.

But try this: steal a police car, run over a few pedestrians and get your 'wanted' level up to 4-5 stars. Now tell me that there is no lag in the game when you have 10 police cars with sirens on chasing you ;) and how is it when you have about 20 people (on foot) waiting in line trying to beat you up? I bet that it is hard just to give one punch in the face of the first one... :p
[Defy Themes and Apps] bhupatib:
Hmm...well so far with the tweaked sfx file my game is running smooth, only a couple of crashes like when I drive into a glass window!

Maybe editing sfx as compared to deleting the whole audio folder is not a good idea after all as something will get screwed up and crash the game sooner or later.
[Defy Themes and Apps] MainCourse:
Another Fix..

Ok, so i have been trying this for a while, and I think i got it.

If you use the latest version, 1.3, you can change the graphics to low quality.

Do this.

Alternativly, use this free app - not warez! GTA 3 Settings Launcher - it will edit the settings for you.

http://www.redmondpie.com/tweak-gra...i-for-android-the-easy-way-with-a-custom-app/
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Just like someone has suggested at the buttom of page 2 of this thread....

And why bring this up again anyway?; GTA3 v1.3 now has all those settings included and changeable on-the-fly (while playing and no game restart necessary), so this is pretty much useless now...
[Defy Themes and Apps] MainCourse:
Oops, you're right.

- Use the 1.3 version

-or if you have to use others for any reason, this is still a good method.

YOU STILL NEED 'MORE LOCALE 2' to change language in system.
[Nook Touch Android Development] herofmm:
Korean!!!

But, how do you do that? Are you adding fonts to /system/fonts folder or replace one of the stock fonts? If it is the latter case, I found out that replacing with some fonts soft-bricked NookTouch. If you need fonts, here's the link. It contains two sets of fonts. We don't have italic nor bolditalic.

http://www.kopus.org/upload_file/font/KOPUB_TTF_FONTS.zip

Anyway thanks for doing this!
[Nook Touch Android Development] than33:
You probably just copied fonts without setting proper file permissions. Then You have boot loop because android cannot load fonts. You have to set proper file permissions before reboot.

You need to replace HelveticaNeue as those are fonts used in Nook (DroidSans in every other android device).

I can add Korean language to framework-res (main android file), but You have to workout font problem by yourself. Probably it will be better to use some font which has every UTF chars including Korean.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pippozio:
Hi

can you please add italian language?

that would be awesome!
[Nook Touch Android Development] herofmm:
I set the permission properly as I've used linux for a while. I switched fonts using noogie.img and linux. But some combinations simply work and some does not. For example, I have korean font A (similar to sans), I switch A with Trebuchet_regular, it work. but if I switch it with Amasis_regular, it does not. I don't know whether there are some compatibility issues regarding fonts.

Also, I can see korean fonts in the library(title, author's name) but not in the reader. Does it mean library uses different fonts? (since HelveticaNeue definately does not support korean).

I'm just trying to find out general rule for switching fonts. Since, you know, people have a lot of different preference, so people want to use different fonts. Again, thanks a lot.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Carrick1973:
I would just like it if we could figure out how to add a font to the list of available fonts in the drop-down box under the font options in the Text dialog. Then instead of replacing fonts, we could just add any of the fonts people are looking for. It must be possible, just not sure quite how to do it. Has anyone used "Font Changer (Root)" from the marketplace on the NST?
[Nook Touch Android Development] herofmm:
I used Font Changer (Root). It is quite working well in terms of replacing fonts. However, there's still a bug that if you choose to see preview before replacing fonts, it replaces wrong fonts. Still, replacing fonts is quite dangerous since it will put NookTouch in boot-loop.

One of the ways which is quite working well so far is replacing only regular font and deleting bold, italic, bolditalic. I am successfully reading Korean text through the stock reader.

MULTILANGUAGE BETA added.
[Nook Touch Android Development] tebra:
Hi than33,

can you tell us where to push the framework-res.apk file with adb ?

Is it in /system/app or in /system/framework/ ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] than33:
/system/framework

I don't think it is safe to push it on system already running. Probably it will crash system immediatelly without any chance to change file permissions.'

I think You have to do this by CWM recovery. I've uploaded file to be flashed via CWM recovery. On the second hand if You have CWMR it is easy to flash original framework in case of something goes wrong.

UPDATE: uploaded MULTILANGUAGE file to flash via CWM RECOVERY

[Nook Touch Android Development] KOCTA:
I did the same and Nook felt to bootloop. Will try ADB tomorrow after factory reset.

P.S. Sorry, it seems it's not your fault. The bootloop continues even after factory reset. Probably something went wrong with CWR...

P.P.S. Alas, the problem persists. Factory reset with 2 buttons doesn't help against the bootloop, but 8 interrupted reboots does. After the restore I tried to apply your framework, and got the same bootloop. I have a 1.0.1 version, is it critical?
[Nook Touch Android Development] tebra:
It works for me but I have 1.1.0 version. Maybe it matter
[Nook Touch Android Development] KOCTA:
I confirm, it works only with 1.1.0, previous versions won't boot up with this framework.

Actually I can't see any difference before and after update. Even power off message and buttons remain in English. Could somebody post any examples of the translation? Or how to check if the update was succsessful or not?
