[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Al.Gray:
I'm new to Android (2 weeks) and currently using my new Samsung GS3 (UK/International) 4.04. Have tried running Riptide with CF3 after installing the NVidea plugin. That gave me no extra graphic water or boost effects. However, when I tried it with the CF PowerVR plugin, all the added effects were there, as in the video. I'm a little confused with the plugins, because as far as I know, The I9300 uses the ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU, running with a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, whilst other varients of the Galaxy SIII appear to use a Qualcomm Adreno 225 GPU, running with a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Krait CPU. I see no mention of NVidea relating to either GPU, or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for any replies and thanks for this useful thread too.

can i play 9mm hd on my galaxy s3 using cf3d...????

Heroes Call - Stage 2 FREEZE

Yes works perfect with the NVIDIA plug-in selected ..

BUT ... game freezes & phone needs to be reboot on Stage 2 if you go up to the top left of the long room where there is a secret chest

I have tried all combination of settings but it always freezes/crashes the phone at this point ..

Only work around is to walk along the bottom left of the long room avoiding the area near the secret chest

Does anyone else experience this problem ??

Running on: HTC Desire HD -

Rom: ARHD v6.3

I needed some help getting galaxy on fire 2 thd working on my sprint galaxy s3. I downloaded chainfire3d and installed the drivers, then i installed the nvidia plugin.

So if I have my S3 rooted to Omega v.28 updated to JB I can't use chainfire to play games like Horn and Dark Meadow?

Ouch!!

So if I'm on JB how can I achieve this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] blackyz:
You can't. Let's hope that developer make chainfire compatible with jb and sad thing is that none of other coder has source code of chainfire and developer was last online on XDA in 2010

have been looking for a palce to have my queries answered related to games on s3, guess this place is fair.

have a query, hoping somebody would advise.

i installed nfs shift,

the game starts fine (without any graphics, no colors, but outlines)

so i can see the track and cars somehow,

even manage to play, so i knw its supported,

however seems like a graphics issue,

googled a bit and came across chainfire3d v3.3

now read somewhere that installing chainfire and activating it and then rebooting my fone might cause it to crash, not sure thou.

m on leaked jb, rooted, no custom ROMs.

whats the best way to get this fixed ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jody2k:
Did you buy the game? If that isnt the case we cant give support on warez in xda (tip search for the right gpu (mali)).

Has he ever said anything about a JB version of Chainfire3d?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kofiaa:
There won't be any. He said its too complicated and he won't bother. Why do you even need it anyway?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ZenInsight:
Thats a confusing question. I hope you asked me because you have a sensible answer that I have not considered!!!!

I have a Galaxy Note 2 with Jellybean on it and I would like play Tegra 3/2 games on it. I bought Horn, can't play it. Also, it would be nice to be able to play all of the THD versions of the games and exclusives as well. Of course, having the market recognize my device as a Tegra device also means that when installing the games I get the additional file downloads to see the enhanced versions, without hacking XML files.

For the Note 2, there isn't even a ICS ROM I could dual boot into, that I am aware of.

So, being that you asked the question in such a way as I am guessing you have an answer...please let me know!!

And thanks.

:)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kofiaa:
It's just that there are a lot of games available for the s3, I was wondering why you would want to go through all the trouble. From all I've heard, horn is a broken game, on ios and android.

CF said jb changed how the graphics work, and it would take too much of his time. So basically cf3d is over.

I thought you had an s3, since you were asking in the s3 forum, the best answer would be to revert to ics.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ZenInsight:
I was afraid you might say that. Oh well. May be some day there will be a Tegra 3 specific hack for Jellybean.

Think of how much that would sell at $1.99 a pop. Let's make one!!!

Hey guys I'm getting this phone on Wednesday.

Just before I get it and use it can anymore comment on any issue with burn in? Subpixel life etc.

I'm going to use this phone quite often. It'll be on at least 9 hours a day on charge and off.

What kind of life can I expect from the screen? Not bothered about battery life.

If its bad I'll return it and get htc one x or something with LCD or else.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
If you are worried out burning then make sure you switch back and forth between portrait and landscape so the status bar won't always be in the same spot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Funny enough how (most) people never really cared about screen burn-in on plasma televisions, LED televisions and good old CRT's but go frenzy about AMOLED screen burnin.

I've had my S1 for 2 years with probably more like 12 hours per day screen-on and it really is fine. On uniform backgrouns (e.g. all red, green, blue..) you can see the lines (most prominently the status bar).

On several launchers (e.g. GO) you can hide the status bar if that's of concern to you, there are additionally several apps trying to make it far less visible by uniformly burning colors in your screen.

Of course there are always "bad" screens which burn in easily just as there are bad LCD's with stuck/dead pixels.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
I think people do go crazy about screen burn ins. You're just not taking a good pool from different kinds of people, tech geeks vs average consumers, where there are more average consumers who do not care.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Ok so it doesn't burn that much? I've had burn in on plasma before it was really annoying. I'm planning on using this phone for 2 years+ for games and camera mostly. is there an auto wallpaper changer/cycler?

I'm trying to root my Bell HTC Desire Z and I'm getting stuck pretty early just trying to downgrade to Froyo.

No matter what guide I've followed this is far as I'll get typing in the terminal:

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

adb shell

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

I'll then get a response saying unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/fre3vo: no such file or directory.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
That error means fre3vo is not in the directory cmd/terminal is pointed at.

You need to either use the 'cd' command (change dir) or, if you're on windows, you can hold shift and right click in the dir fre3vo is, and select 'open cmd here'

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreamEggKing:
ok I have run into a real problem. it looks as if I have semi bricked. I skipped nothing, followed the guide to a T.

NOTE: Take note of this number, we will need it later. For the remainder of this guide, we will refer to this number md5 #3.

If md5 #1 & md5 #3 match, then gfree 0.7 failed to powercycle the eMMC chip on the device. Either the software version is too high and the device was not downgraded per the previous section, or you did something wrong. Try again or join #G2Root on Freenode for further help..
If md5 #2 & md5 #3 match, then everything should be fine and you continue on.

md5 #1 - b532ca54a073f0c4043bd7be69ebce8d
md5#2 - 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742
md5#3 - 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742

as you can see they match so reboot command should have been fine but all O get now is hanging at the HTC screen, unless I reboot holding the volume down button then that takes me to hboot screen. What do I do?

UPDATE - As I worked out how to use clockwork I realized I had s-off so I downloaded CM7 and followed the instructions on wiping cache and what not then installed. All seems to be working now.

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
for future reference these is very common when switching hboots (part of the rooting process) you will not be able to boot into your previous rom as partition checks will have changed. when you have completed rooting you should either boot into fastboot or recovery to flash rom of choice
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 1haumann1:
So I'll show you how the times can change or remove boot or sound.

Works for Gingerbread only

To do this you need:

- root

- root explorer or similar

How it works:

Remove boot sound:

you go to the root explorer

/ system / etc /

The first thing you find is the 1_Power_on.ogg

Deletes it easy

Then you scroll down further and you will find a PowerOn.wav

delete them as well now is your boot sound off

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

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

Change boot sound:

Do you want to change the boot sound, just your sound that you want to have

to convert. ogg and rename it to 1_Power_on.ogg

and do the same with the PowerOn.wav.

So your sound needs at once. Ogg and once in there. Wav

and then also be called as follows:

1_Power_on.ogg

PowerOn.wav

Placed or replaced both files in / system / etc

set permissions to rw-r-r

reboot

thats all

enjoy ;)

There is one limitation, the sound should be no longer than 9 seconds, because there are only 9 seconds played.

Important:

Notice the uppercase and lowercase letters

Can anyone share your tweak setting for phone ? governor , brightness, kernel tweak?

So , what‘s your idea？

I also using V6 supercharger,,it make my device better than before,,launcher doesnt redraw even I open heavy app i.e. HD game,,multi tab browser..if you want to multitask,,set on unledded 512HP,,but you must know mate,,"free RAM" is not wasted,,more FREE RAM is make your device work faster,its mean,,your device can be slower/hang/or sudden reboot if RAM too pushed off

About CPU,,set governor on smartassV2,more better than other governor

Based from SGSII thread discussion about kernel tweak

Governor which best given is lulzactive,brazillianwax,and smartassV2,but please dont missunderstand,our device far different from SGSII,so thats not always match with our device

Please search on google about it

Tweaking depending on yourself mate,,your taste

Recently, every time I try to do a basic nandroid backup either to my SD card, or my internal SD, I get the same message right as the backup looks like it's about to finish. "Could not backup image /data!" What the hell? This has never happened to me before and it's frustrating because I want to try out different ROM's, but not without a successful backup in case of a bad flash. I am currently on KonstantinKeller's CM9 Nightly build, and apparently some other guys on this ROM are having the same issue. I've tried just about everything and nothing is working.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
First of all, I know nothing about this specific app, mobiucare. If it is so that you may somehow command this app to sms you or make a call to you then you should get the number.

What info you got is probably IMSI? These do not contain the phone number itself, phone number is assigned by the network operator equipment. You can probably find out network operator company that issued this SIM from the number.

Your best bet will be to let your local police know this I suppose. They shall contact network operators and will find out the phone by IMEI or by this SIM information you have.
