This project will be halted due to studies.I hope you understand. :)

Anyone intrested in continuing this pm me.

Intro:

Hey guys...

As you know you can now get asphalt 7 for free os samsung apps(yay! :D ) but when i downloaded the graphics were pretty bad for my standards...:(

Anyway i decided to look into in and i messed a bit with the games files...:p

The results i got were sweet!

Features:

Now the game has:

1)anti aliasing enabled

2)the car and enviroment looks much better and the biggest plus

3)it it runs 60 fps most of the time!! :) (i need confirmation about this,although it's much smoother!)

4)POTENTIALY decrease battery drain due to less workload for the gpu with the new settings...

I've played 20 minutes and only 5% is gone!(using lh3 ics and siyah 1.5.2 with undervolted and overclocked cpu+gpu (1600mhz cpu,533mhz gpu)

New in V2!

Fully blown out graphics! :D

All details maxed out!

-Enabled High quality car shader

-Lod back to highest value

-Gamma luminance enabled

-Dynamic reflection optimized

-Car reflection in garage enabled

This looks ULTRA SWEET! :)

Instructions are the same for sammy version,for paid version i need help! :D

Installation:

Download the attached file,extract it and and paste it in

sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.SAMSUNG.GloftA7SS/files

Looks like it won't work with the paid version of asphalt 7!

Although you can download the sammy one for free if you want.

Update:There's WIP!When we figure it out full instructions will be given!

Update!Full credits goes to tolis626!

Great guy! :D

How to:

Download the DeviceConfigPaid.zip extract it and use the instructions below!

Remember,it's still a WIP so we need feedback guys! ;)

OR

Final Notes

1)This will work 100% and DOES NOT HAVE ANY RISK(s)...;)

If run into any problem,just delete the file and the game will re-download the previous one in seconds! :D

2)I'm not sure if the ones that bought it have the game installed in that directory!

If you do,you're most likely in luck fellas!

If you don't,i can't do anything sorry....:(

3)Seems like it doesn't work on jellybean...:/

Sorry guys,i'm using LH3 ics rom...it should have theoreticaly worked with jelly bean....anyway,try it you may be lucky! :)

There's no risk..

4)Do you think we should spread the word??

Press submit thread as news tip so we can give help to more users! :)​

5)

For anyone else wondering how/where can you get the game for free the link is right here!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1872844

P.S.

1)I've made some screenshots but there's not much difference there!you'll notice the difference when you play,not in static images...:)

2)This WILL NOT WORK ON OTHER DEVICES...yet!

I you want it to ask me and i'll try to make it work for that device....

(and you can be a tester...:) )

I'll start a universal version soon so stay tuned! ;)

3)I am not responsible for anything that happens if you mess up,delete data,cause a nuclear war,or have kittens assault you and anything else! :)

Happy Gaming everyone!
[Galaxy S III General] kofiaa:
That was fast, I downloaded the app today but I'll be downloading the files by the weekend. Hope your mod kicks butt!
[Galaxy S III General] diego9016:
This works for v1.0.1?
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks man!

I'm pretty sure it does! :D

I think so,yes!

I have the same version and it works for me...

Read the instructions mate!

Free? Says £1.00 on my samsung apps
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Man,search the forum please!

Yes it's free...

In samsung apps go to categories/games/gameloft/free and you'll see it...
[Galaxy S III General] Daley87:
Easy tiger, why would i search the forum for that? I just got home from work and checked the forum and saw your post, obviously the first thing i checked was the Samsung Apps store. If you had linked to a different post in the OP detailing the info regarding where to look on S Apps then yes shame on me for not looking at it. Anyway thanks for the info and the mod.
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
No worries man...

Info added to the OP!

Thanks for the suggestion...;)
[Galaxy S III General] alwin006:
Coool ! i was about to delete the game now its much more faster and smoother ! thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Se23:
I also was about to delete the game as graphics and accelerometer controls are awful. This has made the game much smoother and looks really nice. Controls suck but that's not your fault. Thank you :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks gus! :)

@Se23

I'm not a fan of the accelerometer either...:p

Go to settings,controls and change the control type to D!

That way you can tap left or right on the touchscreen to steer...;)
[Galaxy S III General] ghampton10:
Search for the game in samsung apps. theres a free promotional version. (looking at it right now on aus version) :good:
[Galaxy S III General] comnam90:
Hmmm i brought the game from the market but dont have the folder on my sdcard....
[Galaxy S III General] cb_jimmy:
Yeah, I can't seem to find that folder for my game purchased from Play Store.
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
I downloaded it from Sam. App Store, also did not find the folder whereas there is one under:

/sdcard/gameloft/games/GloftA7SS

over there you can find the DeviceConfig.xml

will test it

---edit: seems to WORK!
[Galaxy S III General] comnam90:
nope dont have that folder either....
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
maybe try to search for "gameloft" or "A7" on your sdcard with your file explorer (Root Explorer at least has this option), should give you all folders & files with gameloft or A7 in it. Maybe that helps to find it :)

--edit: or search directly for the DeviceConfig.xml
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Hey thanks for the file, I was looking that file and I find it funny that they leave in the iPhone and iPad information in there.

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

It's in android/data/com.gameloft.android.SAMSUNG.GloftA7ss/files
[Galaxy S III General] JayceOoi:
No MSAA enabled on mine... :(
[Galaxy S III General] alysiper:
If you buy the game from the playstore, all the data is stored in the following location: sdcard/android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM. There is no ".../files/" folder.

All the data is capsulated into a file, main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb, that has 1.4gb.

I copied the config file but the game graphics are the same. I guess that you need to put the config file into the 1.4gb file :).

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/screenshot2012090708055.png/

Update: I unzipped the obb file replaced the config file and zipped again the files(i zipped all the files into a .tar file, and after that i changed the extension name). After that i replaced the current file withe the official .obb, but the game fails to run. :|
[Galaxy S III General] egps2:
As far as I know it does not currently work for the JB roms. It may in future but there is no guarantee!
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
for me it seems to work. At least same graphics as before on ICS after I applied the change.
[Galaxy S III General] ommadawn-xda:
+1

Now that it's 25c on Play Store, I guess that a lot of people with a Nexus 7 will purchase it (like I did ;))

Has anyone tried to make it work with this version and this tablet?
[Galaxy S III General] Fidyyuan:
I replaced the files on my T-Mobile (US) Jellybean Galaxy S3. Guess it doesn't work for non-international because the trees still look terrible lol

graphics patch for Batman on GSIII

Hello :)

I´m really impressed what you have done to this game, and thanks you the game works simply perfect, battery consumption in extremely goods the mobile does not get warm as before and the fps are constant more than 50pfs all the time, super smooth :) + graphic boost

I only had 1 question, do you think you could make something similar to the new Batman game? he game is really cool graphics are perfect,

but the fps are under 20fps sometimes...

Thanks for the Asphalt 7 patch, and hopefully we could get something like that for the new Batman game
[Galaxy S III General] Fidyyuan:
Does anyone know how to make this work for the US S3? :D
[Galaxy S III General] shayind4:
Does it work for galaxy Note?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] titooo7:
How can I see how many fps is using the game before and after applying this patch?
[Galaxy S III General] GigzEJ:
does this work on ANY CM10 Base?

Hey bout a7 i really dont know where to ask, does it work on CM10 Base..?
[Galaxy S III General] -=Beavis=-:
Hey there! Thank you for your efforts!

I'd really appreciate a modded config file for the galaxy nexus since I am unable to change the code properly... :silly:

I really need a modded config file for xperia play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] psyntific:

[Galaxy S III General] DRAKENGARD:

Also Better material as well as graphic

hi guys

here i modified the material setting for better quality and reflections.

in order to use this file u need to open "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM" with winrar (do not extract just right click then open with

winrar) after that go to data and then material setting

just replace attachment file with that

don't forget to create a backup
[Galaxy S III General] hanes02:

Fixed incorrect car colors

Here, I've modified Paid version and now it's very smooth, great graphics and car colors in game is fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] Magissia:

[Galaxy S III General] :
When I launch the game it re-downloads the file, so it isn't working.

this must be the issue. im using Omega XDJL4 rom.

Yes. However I've modified only SGS3 part.
[Galaxy S III General] Fidyyuan:
So this should work on the US SGS3?
[Galaxy S III General] fenritz:
Absolutely
[Galaxy S III General] vichucoolics:
for galaxy tab 2 7.0 also please

please get this mod for gtab 2 this tab handles most wanted very smoothly and also other HD games

I'll be the tester
[Galaxy S III General] connta:
do it yourself guide

first im not sure why this is called a "patch" when it doesnt patch anything, its just a modified xml (txt) setting file since gameloft didnt wanna include settings within the game. you can find "DeviceSettings.xml" on your phone, edit the values you want on/off, save it and it will work. there are two things tho you have to comply with tho.

the first one is file size and it has to be exactly the same as the original file you found on your phone. this varies with game version, with v1.0.2 from samsung the file should be exactly 22,493 bytes. if the file is longer or shorter by 1 byte the game will consider it invalid and re download the original file from the server overwriting all the changes you made. to tune the file size you can always delete some of the comments in the settings file or add spaces, depending on what you edited.

second thing is about modifying the right part for your phone. gameloft has classified devices and made settings presets as android-low -medium -high and a "Galaxy S3" classification which is obviously used for S3. for other devices you, somehow, need to know how gameloft classified your device. if your device is, lets say, under android-medium than editing that preset will give results. you can edit all the presets in the file to desired values and by doing so be sure that you also covered preset for your device or you can "trial and error" your way to the right preset for your device, either way it should work...

and lastly for the lazy crowd with S3 and samsung version 1.0.2 (thats what i got :) ) i have included my DeviceSettings.xml based on the OP post but modded to exclude gamma luminance (was creating too bright picture and tint on some maps, looks sweet on others, overall didn't like it) but to include everything else but the high res textures for road and background... in my findings S3 cant push constant 60 fps with high res textures, its playable in most maps but having constant 60 fps beats better looking background for me.

P.S. theres also something about this "patch" not working on JB which is total nonsense, i'm currently on the DLJ5 stock JB and it runs normally. there is no logical reason why it wouldn't work on JB since its game related and system should not have anything to do with it, if the game works modifying the settings should also work.
[Galaxy S III General] WarCow:
Thanks a lot..it works excellent :) And i read your entire long post even though i went for the lazy method ;) Interesting stuff
[Galaxy S III General] nvarsos:
works great on paid version GS3
[Galaxy S III General] egps2:
Has anyone uploaded a GS2 version with anti aliasing turned on?

That's the only feature I care about haha but never seemed to work for me!

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S III General] bilak:
hi guys is this working on jelly bean? I've got resurrection remix rom, so if somebody got experiences with running this on custom JB rom, please let me know.

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] dazza7111:
Great fix. Press Uninstall worked for me,

Saved 1 GB!
[Galaxy S III General] ShotSkydiver:
In case anyone else is having issues with the game wanting to redownload the files every time like I was, what you need to do is make sure the file isn't being compressed upon adding to the archive (obb file). Using WinRAR, you need to go to the folder in the obb file you're adding the file to, click Add, and make sure the compression level is set to "store". You can check if it was added properly by making sure the size and packed size of the file are the same. Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned yet as it won't work unless you do this.
[Galaxy S III General] thekoRngear:
Is the anti-aliasing rendered to highest if I just put the xml file or do I have to mod the settings? I added the file using store to the obb file. And now running the game fine with version 1.0.4 except I cant see any difference. :p

Anyone finished the new challenges they put with 1.0.4. I am done.
[Galaxy S III General] connta:
there is only one setting in .xml for AA and thats on or off.

in my .xml it is set to on so if you downloaded that one it is enabled for sure.

i also think that it is enabled by default since the parent of S3 profile has it enabled by default. if S3 profile doesnt disable it by default, which im pretty sure it doesnt, it will be on by parent setting.
[Galaxy S III General] instanceof:
Galaxy Note 2

Is this fix applicable to Galaxy Note 2 (unrooted)?
[Galaxy S III General] connta:
^^^ there is no downside trying this on Note 2 since if it doesnt work "as is" the game will just revert to defaults...

cant tell you more since i dont have N2 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] MarkMRL:
Can you get this to work for the Xperia S? I'd be very grateful if you did.
[Galaxy S III General] rohitaar:
Is this working for 1.0.4 ASPHALT 7

I have 4.1.1 Jelly Bean in my S3

thank you very much :good:
[Galaxy S III General] karim_m08:
Is this working for 1.0.6 ASPHALT 7

I have 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in my S2 plus
[Galaxy S III General] TSO of Stormwind:
last patch

Last patch (1.0.6) f*cked things up a bit. The file's name now is deviceprofile.xml. It is longer and has more values. Moreover from default setting the game sets hi-res texture off on galaxy sIII. I tried to reactivate them but there is not way to play with hi res texture at a decent framerate, even if overclocked (my gpu is set to 640mhz and my cpu to 1500mhz).

any hint?
[Galaxy S III General] explorer-10:
Will this work on devices other than the S3 such as Nexus S, and if so, anyone able to achieve the HiRes look on said device?
[Galaxy S III General] fcaronte:
Hi all :) i'm a new S3 user...today i try asphalt 1.0.6 and i see a lot of lag....i try to find found a solution and i arrived here i try to use the deviceconfing in first page (paid version) but not work (is all different)...i try to open the original deviceconfig and i try to change the line as the line in "s3 section" of modded file and i test it but the lag it's same :(
[Galaxy S III General] genius.lizard2:
GUYS i think 1.0.6 version will automatically change graphics with your GPU model(i saw DeviceConfig file, it has every gpu models in it!)

dear bjtmosfet: is your phone ROOTED? use GameBooster2 ROOT from play store.enable ultra gaming and Enjoy A7 without lag

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.gamebooster2&hl=en
[Galaxy S III General] fcaronte:
no is all stock for now but i don't play a lot because i finish all stage xD
[Galaxy S III General] androidfine16:
Change of fps

Hey guys how do you change the Fps for the new asphalt7 1.0.6.
[Galaxy S III General] bassemcastle:
Nice it make the game run very backing faster as hell
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
Just a quick question guys. Which firmware are you using?

I'm running the latest jb leak (LI2) and can't notice any difference (but must confess that i haven't compared the xml files yet).

It looked great before and was damn smooth. Just to point that out.

Could it be that the enhanced graphics is already enabled while installing the game on jb?

Edit: Ok compared the files, the car lot values are indeed increased and the high res map is also enabled now, looks like I'm just blind^^
[Galaxy S III General] winbyte:
Thanks!! If you search for the app it shows the paid version..
[Galaxy S III General] rlorange:
just installed this game will test this out now! Thanks man
[Galaxy S III General] morell2:
work bad now my ashplat 7 FC
[Galaxy S III General] vessk0:
Same situation here! :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
Any screenshots with improved graphics?
[Galaxy S III General] rlorange:
Definitely works better without this mod running LI2 jb leak. But thanks it's helping others
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Well after all those posts i'll update the OP about not working with paid one!

Also i'll add screenshots for everyone!

Thanks guys for the support! :)

BTW i'm using LH3 ics here so i'm sorry if it doesnt have the same outcome on jb! :(
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
OP updated!
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Works great here. Definite improvement. Was initially unimpressed by the graphics and controls. Looks and feels much better now. Thanks for sharing.
[Galaxy S III General] jithendra194:
Is the free promotion of asphalt 7 full version or just a demo type with few levels?
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
No it's the full game man...:)

Download it while it's hot! :D
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Well,kinda managed to get it to work on the Play Store version.I opened the main.xxx.obb(Don't remember the name :p ) with 7zip,went to /data/DeviceConfig in there and copied your file over the previous one.The game opens,but is SLOW.Slow as in unplayable,I can't even get to the menu.Maybe I'm missing something here,but it's at least a step forward.

Also,when I first ran the game after placing the new xml,it asked me to download 1mb of data.Hmm...
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
If it asked you to download 1mb of data it re-downloaded the original file,that's why it's slow...

sorry mate...:(

we must find a workaround for the play store version!
[Galaxy S III General] Tenou:
On my International S3 the game runs very smoothly this mod has improved the graphics a lot :victory:

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] alysiper:
The size off the obb file is different than the original one with few kb. we must find a way for the obb file to be exactly like the original one.
[Galaxy S III General] Dymanic:
Works great! Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
I don't think that it checks for the size but I could be wrong.

Well then,let's find it. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Z3US911:
why u guyz are facing this problem,A7 works fine on S3 no glitches/lag at all.

:eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S III General] alysiper:
Do you know an program that archives a file and let you set the sile size?
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Well guys i read at the one x forums they had the same issue with the paid version!

They said the character length MUST BE THE SAME in order to get this working!

Can someone like Tolis626 try to do this properly since i have the free one and i can't test it? :)

It will be added in the op and FULL CREDITS will be given of course! ;)
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Gimme 10 minutes ;)
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Ok patrida...:)
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
This game FC's on CM10 :'(
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
That's why i'm using sammy based roms now...;)

I recommend you do the same!
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Μεγάλε κάτι γίνεται! :D

So guys,after some dirty copy-paste-work and random number changing(Numbers that don't concern us,don't worry ;) ) I think I managed to get this to work.Well,it did download something again,but I kinda think it works.Maybe it's just me though...Can you guys test this?Method is the same 7zip stuff I posted earlier. :)
[Galaxy S III General] dj_gabit:
i found the game files in sdcard/gameloft/games/glofta7ss not in the defautl folder...

why? i don`t know for sure but the patch works.
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I still love cm10 and I'm not switching to Sammy/ICS just for this game :P

I dont understand what you mean, sorry.

Just to be clear, I'm on CM10, download Samsung Apps for cm10, downloaded the free game A7, downloaded all files, then when launching the game it FC's everytime. Maybe because this game is only for Samsung ROMs or something. It could be that the paid version of A7 in the normal Google Play Store might work. Not really in the mood to try it though :p

Oh, and I did try it with and without this mod, both FC.
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Τελειος!

I'll add this in the op!Hope you did it man! :D
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Well if you use cm10 i'm sorry i can't do anything about that...;)

This works on sammy ics roms only!If you buy the game we're working on something but it's just in testing stage! :)
[Galaxy S III General] eXceed:
Working on paid version from Google play store, simply copied file to computer, renamed to .tar. Opened the file in winrar and without zipping simply drag and dropped the new config in.

Then simply renamed .tar to .obb and copied back onto SGS3.

Initial play seems okay, but im at work so will give full report later.

No lag @ 1.6Ghz/700mhz GPU.
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks for the report man!

Did the game ask you to download additional files?
[Galaxy S III General] cb_jimmy:
My game is play store version. I tried OP's xml but the game run so unplayable slow and tolis626's xml makes the graphic look worse than the original.
