sidestepping instead of turning

Hi,

After applying the gta3.set mentioned in the first post to fix the FC, my turn controls now sidestep/strafe and I cannot see the option to turn this off? Can anybody help please?
[Android Apps and Games] question.com:
Same issue here.
[Android Apps and Games] jstockto2000:
Managed to fix it...

I deleted the gta3.set file from the device with the settings app still open. Upon pressing "save and launch", the file appears to be recreated as necessary and only the graphical settings are applied and the control settings revert to default.
[Android Apps and Games] bloodylipp:
anyone have another link? both are not working.

i tried the second (its also down) because im not worried about the sd card.

Perfect. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] hacksteak25:
Thank you all for the great feedback!

@BlackArty: Sorry, but adding all the control settings would be to much work. Did you try the in-game settings? There are a lot of settings that let you adjust the controls.

@forceu: Thanks for the log. I changed the laucher routine. Hope that it will no longer fc.

The problems when clicking save and start should be fixed. Otherwise try starting GTA3 with the stock launcher. When the settings has been written, everything should be fine.

@Martyn.h: I added some code to deal with shorter-as-expected settings files. If your graphics looks horrible after starting, try to restore the default settings in the in-game display options.

The new version (1.4) is appended to the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] GazaIan:
Restoring the old GTA3.set file didn't help with the graphics, but the 1.4 version looks like it might work so I'll try that out and see how it goes. Not even minding the bad graphics, but the strafing is bothersome...
[Android Apps and Games] axtn95:
Absolutely PERFECT with my Galaxy Nexus, thanks so much! :D
[Android Apps and Games] KilerG:
I saw this on Phandroid, very interested. I'm installing the new version of GTA III now that supports the Bionic, and I'll give this a try. 1.4 didn't force close on me (but it also hasn't found the app yet because I haven't finished installing it lol).

EDIT: It works great other than my save games are continually being corrupted...not sure why.

Hi forgiveness for my bad expression since it is very little English, I would like to know if there any way to enable the application looks for data in / mnt /external_sd / and then launch the game, for example to avoid space problems tablets with android honeycomb, because with the new routes the problem is that is taking the data from the internal memory of the tablet. One thing I ask is what makes the GL application to SD gameloft games. If you could implement this would be the perfect application. Anyway I say it is a wonder. Thank you very much for this application.

[Android Apps and Games] spyboy:
Thanx a lot. this tool actually gave the game a performance boost where I'm actually able to drive around. still laggy but playable I'd say. I'm using the hd2 with ics rom.

I think that something that is also affecting the games performance is the replay feature, its recording ur every move so maybe disabling it will make the game run smoother. draw distance is a huge one, if there was an option to go less than one I would b happy to try it. Renaming the audio folder to something else also helps but what fun is that. Maybe for testing purposes.
[Android Apps and Games] Rantanplan1980:
Is is possible to add settings to

1. Deactivate sound

2. Run uncensored version

?

1. is necessary for Nexus S to run GTA3 without lag. Without the option you have to rename the sound folder (or delete it, if you prefer) to activate this tweak.

2. the german version is missing the ragdoll feature, so an essential part of the game is broken. In the steam version, you just have to change your windows regional settings to US or UK, to start the game uncensored. Haven't tried to change the language settings on my phone though, but it's propably similar and can very likely be cheated into thinking that I'm not running a german phone, shouldn't it?

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

I've tested changing the language of my phone (and the game) to english US. Didn't change anything, the game is still censored. How can I uncensore the game?

I don't know how to take a photo of the phone screen to show us the problem very clear.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant running on 2.2Froyo(Toxic Rom & DMZ Kernel)

Even games like 9mm & Asphalt 6 run fine on my device, with overclock(in rare cases)

But I have installed GTA III v1.3(also tried all the steps below with 1.0, both inclusive countless times) and took Titanium Backup.

Then I downloaded SD data from some site. I have two versions of the same(So basically my first question is that is SDcard data size specific to a version,and as long as it is higher it shouldn't be a problem rite?)

Now, I have tried with different launchers - GO, Zeam and killing tasks or boosting memory ,etc.

But when I click on GTA III, after I accept EULA and it asks me to download data(I press back button)

and then press home key.

then when I click GTA III from notifications, it opens up and then after two vibrations or so, it closes itself, without any error message(like this process stopped responding).

I have tried numerous times, yet i can't get this game working on my device.Please help !!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallardosEggrollShop:
I've searched everywhere but it seems I can't find the answer to my problem. I got my Galaxy Note a day ago and I transferred some pictures and ringtones. I put them on my external 32gb sd card which I reformatted using the phone. Everything was good I set my ringtones and set some pictures for contacts/wallpapers. Now after installing all my remaining apps and restarting the phone a couple times I can't find my pictures in gallery and the ringtones I set have disappeared. I reformatted the sd card again and transferred everything over but still nothing. Anyone have an idea what to do? I have also installed astro and es file manager and they see the files but it seems the actually phone does not.

Edit: Answered my own question. It seems that when my phone does a media scan it only scans the internal memory not my external sd card. Anyway to have it do both?

I found out that there are a lot of other baseband versions out there. Some must have improved wi-fi signal.

Where can I download separate baseband flash files without flashing entire ROM ?

Since you have s-offed you don't need unrevoked to root! B-) flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash the superuser zip file. Ill post links when I get to my laptop :-)
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
Ok download rom manager from the market. Open it and flash the latest version of clockworkmod recovery. Then download this zip http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-d-signed.zip . Then boot into bootloader and select recovery. Then perform a nandroid backup (just incase) then select install zip, then choose zip. Then scroll to the downloaded zip and flash it. After this you should be rooted and ready to go. When it succeeds perform another nandroid backup so you have one with root :-) good luck
[Wildfire General] chester-2k11:
thank you all done now just need to find good rom any ideas?
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
The best choices are:

Sense based roms if you like HTC sense. The 2 that are still being developed atm are rempuzzle by kylon and dk by deep knight, both are very good.

Cm7

Gingerbread rom, highly customizable full of features and highly recommended by me as its the rom I always fall back to. There is a stable version cm7.1.0.1 it doesn't have as many features as the nightlies, which have stalled for the moment at nightly #256. The nightlies are just as stable as the stable version if not more in my eyes so if cm7 is your choice don't be put off by the nightlies are experimental warnings.

Then there's a number of AOSP roms which are basically like a very light gingerbread rom. They don't have as many features as cm7 but make up for it by being a bit faster straight from the box. Also the camcorder isn't working and dialler needs slightly resizing but I'm sure schiznik will eventually figure it all out, then the rest will follow suit. The best choices of aosp atm are Oxygen by schiznik, Splashmod by Jamal.

There are a number of other experimental roms such as the new ics android 4 and the newer sense, but they are very buggy and I wouldn't recommend them to you just yet.

Bookmark this page as its probably the most useful thread on XDA for wildfire users, there's a full list of roms in the first post but the ones I've mentioned are probably you're best bet for now.
