[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I'm sorry. I wasn't clear. I meant that I would send you the extracted files from the apk WITH the files you asked for. Not a cracked apk for installation. That way you could see everything that went into the apk. That's why I was so specific about it's purpose. But if all you need are the /data files, I'll upload those to my Dropbox account when I get home. I won't be able to until then. Just out of curiosity, do you have a Tegra device, or is the I9300 your only device? I was just thinking that a side-by-side comparison would make it a lot easier to tell if you had successfully enabled the features or not. Then again, you don't have the game. Would it just be easier if I bought it for you? I'm cool with just sending the files, but then there still has to be some way of seeing if it worked. It's just a thought. Either way, I'll upload the files as soon as I can.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
nice , could you share once find solution ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Absolutely! Sharing is what XDA is all about.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
I used Chainfire 3D and it unlocked Tegra 3 graphics for me. Perhaps the in-game check just looks for a Tegra chip in general? I then did the XML edit after installing a new ROM (and wiping etc.) and it had the same affect.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
If it unlocked anything, it unlocked Tegra 2 features. It's been able to do that for a while now. For example, the only way I can play Galaxy On Fire 2 THD, is with Chainfire 3D via the NVIDIA plugin. But if a game and/or feature is explicitly for the Tegra 3, Chainfire 3D won't do anything for you. This is because the ULP GeForce GPU on the Tegra 3 SoC is a closed and proprietary platform. While other devices, such as the Mali GPU in the I9300, are more than capable of running the same content as the ULP GeForce, it cannot emulate it in any way. So where the NVIDIA Chainfire 3D plugin can make games believe they're running on Tegra 2 hardware, it cannot make games believe they're running on Tegra 3 hardware. This is why XML edits and other modifications are necessary. Since there's no way to coax the features out with emulated hardware, the features have to be forced out with modifications.

OFF TOPIC: Dont bring in 360 vs ps3 here mate. I've had enough of ps3 dudes saying it's supre duper, 120fps 1080p, super computer. It was a lie all along, like ps2 days when sony claimed toy story graphics were possible on ps2. Ps3 is just a number crunching machine, good for folding@home kind of apps. The nv based gfx on board was put in at the last moment since cell coudn't handle the graphics, initially thought to be. So in the end both 360 and ps3 are same when it comes to games. If you want a super giant expensive calculator than ps3 is the machine. For me, it's been 360 since 2006 jan and i never believed the lies/hype of sony.

ON TOPIC: I wish Samsung could also provide incentives to devs to enhance their apps for SIII but since it's gonna sell millions of units anyways i doubt they'll be bothered to do it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Wow. You told dilzo "Dont bring in 360 vs ps3 here mate." and then you did it yourself. And besides, the PS3 has more GFX horsepower than the 360. It's not an opinion or matter for debate. It's simply more powerful. It's tragic flaw is that it's such a ***** to develop for. The market has already shown that top developers prefer to write titles for the 360. And in the end, content is king. So the 360 may be more successful, more fun, and have more/better titles, but it is nowhere near as powerful as the PS3.

Anyway, back ON TOPIC. Let's get this Riptide GP crap figured out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ind3lible:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I appreciate that, but that's the exact same XML edit I've been talking about since my OP. I even posted before and after pictures of the mod in action. What I need is a way to enable Tegra 3 features in Riptide GP; not Dead Trigger.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sodeknetters:
You could have also said thanks for posting the actual link you talked about so much.

The fact that you mention the existence of a this hack (for another game, we got that) multiple times but fail to provide a single link looks rather lame, really.

Btw I do hope this type of hack will be developed for all games with brand-specific hardware requirements. This type of false feature pimping for otherwise equal hardware is just plain evil.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Okay. I've got it working. I'm going to post the steps as an edit to my OP.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Where is this option?

Does not seem to be in my chainfire3D app...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Interesting. Again, while they claim to make use of Tegra3 and it's "unique" (LMAO) potential all they do is check if the device is a Tegra. Supposedly by validating if it can run certain Tegra commands.

You suck Nvidia. You too, app developers that buy in to such schemes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
the dead trigger apki i have works works with gs3 from sprint and you dont have to edit anything for it to get tegra effects the effects alone make the game sick you want it just pm me cause idk if i get in trouble for posting a link

Force 24-bit depth buffer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamMartin:
I don't see the force 24-bit depth buffer option, but the OP's guide worked for me. There's also better motion blur with the Tegra graphics.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Open Chainfire3D then go to Per-app OpenGL settings -> Riptide GP

Then set:

-use default settings to off

-unroll textures to on

-use plugin to nvidia

-depth buffer to 24 bit

-MSAA to what you want
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ind3lible:
You can only buffer 24 bit and msaa in the pro version correct?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Correct.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
So, has this guide actually helped anyone? Do these steps work for anyone other than myself?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Yep!

Works for me too!

For those who have only the free chainfire3D, it will also work if you use the nvidia plugin in the default setting section of the app. Just do not forget to change this setting each time you start or stop the game...

You need to download the nvidia plugin on internet and install it through chainfire3D

Not working on Note

I know this is a SGS3 forum but for Note (N7000) users brought here by google, I tried everything on CF3D Pro on a rooted stock ICS rom. It really doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Okay. Let's clear a few things up. This ONLY works on the I9300! Furthermore, you will lose CF3D if you update. You'll have to uninstall & reinstall it to get your effects back. For people using 4210 devices like the Note and SGS2, you're out of luck. Don't give me the argument that the 4210 uses the same GPU as the 4412. It's not JUST about the GPU. It's about the device as a whole; and this ONLY works on the I9300. So if you have an I9300, install or reinstall CF3D, and have a go at it. It will work on a fully stock ROM, and possibly some others. This has been tested on BLFB and it works. If you're having trouble with this on an I9300, get with me and I'll try to help you out.

Works perfect thanks :) using pro version on riptide .. going to test on shadowgun .. do i need the THD version to activate the features ? cause i bought the normal version (long long time ago .. )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
In order to get Tegra 3 features on Shadowgun, you have to have the THD version of the game. Unfortunately, there's currently no known way to successfully purchase, download, install, and play Shadowgun THD on a non-Tegra device. To date, the only known method for playing Shadowgun THD on a non-Tegra device involves a modified, cracked *.apk; and since this is XDA, the discussion ends there. Sorry to disappoint. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roderickk:
The method dont worked with my sgs3. I think it must be a chance editing the file named profile in the " /data/data/com.vectorunit.../files " folder. But i think that is encrypted :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuel100:
Hi, I'm interesting at enabling Tegra 3 graphics on riptide gp without chainfire. I've looked at the file at data/data/com.vectorunit.blu and I've understood that to enable tegra 3 graphics I need a backup of Com.Vectorunite.blue from a tegra 3 device.

in fact when you start the game on a tegra 3 device, the game inserts a code into a file and we must have that file to enable tegra 3 effects. Unluckily I don't have a Tegra 3 device so I can't work for this project. I can try this method if someone will upload a backup of com.vectorunit.blue after configuring the game.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al.Gray:
I used to have Chainfire 3D installed and working on my Samsung Galaxy S3 ICS 4.04....that was great. Unfortunately, back last January, I bricked my S3 and sent it off to Samsung for a warranty repair. Now my S3 is running Jellybean 4.1.2 and I tried installing Chainfire 3d on it yesterday, but it when I installed the drivers, it bricked my damn phone again. I'm now in the process of unbricking my S3 and almost there (hopefully), but once I have got it up and running again how it was, is there any way to install Chainfire 3D on Jellybean 4.1.2 or is it just incompatible now? I've still got a month's warranty left on my S3, which might just come in handy the way things are going lately :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulmajdi:
Chainfire does not support jelly bean firmware. You installed. You brick your phone. Trust me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al.Gray:
Yes, as I unfortunately discovered, but I've reflashed my S3 back to JB 4.1.2 now, rooted it AGAIN, and all is well n good.......Alhamdulilah!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al.Gray:
This may be a stupid question, and I probably know the answer already, but here goes......

Is there an equivalent alternative to Chainfire 3D that emulates Tegra effects that is available for Jellybean?....even a 'work-in-progress'?

Edit....forget that question, my bad, it's already been answered in another thread.

One last query tho...does anyone know if there are any custom ROMs (Jellybean 4.1.2/4.2.2) that are available that Chainfire 3D is compatible with that won't brick my S3 again (such as CyanogenMod 10.1) , please?......(VERY wishful thinking!)

Edit

Note to self: Invest in an Asus Transformer Pad TF300T (unless some wiseguy can recommend a better or even cheaper Tegra 3 tablet that comes with an SD card slot??)

Edit:

Couldn't wait, so just bought meself an Asus Prime tablet off eBay (WITH a 12 month warranty) for a nice bargain price instead :).........lubbly jubbly!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I recently bought a 2100mah battery and charger set off ebay for $8. Has anybody tried it yet? link

Its mainly just so I can have a backup battery and external charger but if it does last longer than stock battery that would be a nice bonus.

Edit: So this battery and charger came in a few weeks ago and both are working great. The battery life seems very similar to stock so I bet the actual capacity is around 1800. The charger works well, has a light that shows full charge and has a usb port on bottom for charging phone too. For my purposes I'm happy with this for now.

Edit2: After a few more weeks of occasional use this battery is definitely lower capacity than stock. My guess is around 1500 but no issues otherwise. The charger is working great though. Its nice to be able to charge battery out of phone and just pop in an extra battery in the meantime.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nathantaylor:
Here's my thoughts:

It's $8 for a 300 mAh upgrade. Plus, its in Hong Kong, so I don't know how quick it would ship. (Assuming you live where I do, in the United States.)

2300 mAh upgrade from stock. $20.

If you do the math, the second one is a way better deal.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Yeah I agree big battery is a better deal, but I don't want a fat case and a heavy phone. This is a spare battery and charger in my laptop bag in case I need it. Its been a week already so it should arrive within the next few days. I will post some info when it arrives.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LiveFaster:
Just so you know you get what your paying for. So if this cheap battery fries your phone your out of luck with any warranties.
