I use an Ipega bluetooth controller and it works great - although I can't remember if the right thumbstick can be used for aim/ look.

On FPS I tend to swipe the screen to aim/ look anyway as I find it a little more accurate.

Bluetooth devices work

Yes pretty much any Bluetooth device will work fine. You could use a PS3 controller with the six axis app for instance. Just pair the device in Android before launching the app and you should be ready to game:good: Note if you are Rooted and have a mouse and keyboard you will want to select hide onscreen buttons and enable mouse.

I've read through the thread and watched dozens of videos on YouTube in the past few months and I still can't believe this is possible. I think it's amazing and just shows how much have mobile phones advanced in the last couple of years. Heck, I still remember when the N-Gage came out. And games on it were considered epic LOL. Really have to salute to all the people who have worked on this port for bringing one of the most demanding and revolutionary games to Android. I loved playing Doom 3 back then and it will be amazing to have it on the go.

I have a few questions, though:

1) Is it worth installing at this point or would you recommend waiting? How much is it playable and has anyone managed to actually finish the game on their phone?

2) How does it run on the Galaxy S3 (international)? Powerful enough or so-so? What settings would you recommend?

3) How much free space do I need? Can I put it on the external SD card and will the card be fast enough?

4) Are any more updates coming and if so, when? Will they improve the performance?

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
A) Yeah it is worth installing to check it out. Not currently completed myself (not had time) but is very playable with the right settings and a good enough device (No major issues so far for me).

As you use the original doom3 files/paks, any port that will come up in the future (and improve on this) will use the same files/paks so would only have to update the application. As the app is free their is no reason not to give it ago now. :)

A) The dev started off creating/testing on his HTC one X and would say anything around that spec would run it at a good speed with the app at this stage of development. So yeah should be powerful enough :)

As for settings try the light effects and if too slow (laggy) turn them off and try that. You have nothing to lose :)

A) The doom3 pak files are around 1.5gb and you can put the diii4a folder (mentioned in first post with all the original game files, progs folder, etc) where ever you want (extsd, sd or usb if wanted) but you need to change the folder location command in the main app screen (right in front of you when open the app)

A) Yeah dev is slowly working on more updates and will most likely see it on Google Play soon along side his other apps (QI4A, QII4A, QIII4A and RTCW4A) at some point for free as he won't charge (optional to donate PayPal via app if want to).

works on galaxy s2, version 1.3.x the problem is that on AOKP ROM AOSP frezee phone or total blockage.

I changed kernel but the problem remains

On Notes 1 and Notes 2 with AOKP ROM AOSP works perfectly.

I would like to figure out how to fix it for my s2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Smoking Man:
Thanks for all the information and for the reply.

I've decided I'll give it a try. I installed Doom 3 and then installed the 1.3.1 patch over it. I've put the app files into the base folder and copied it over to the memory card and installed the apk (RC2). Now I just need to configure the app.

What's the external sd card directory? And did I install and patch D3 correctly? Can anyone list all the files needed?

EDIT: Found it's "/mnt/extSdCard/diii4a" ?! I started the game, got to the main menu, selected new game, it finished loading and then crashed. No error, simply closed.

Any idea what's wrong? Graphical settings at default, only used the HQ config files provided. I thought it could be related to free RAM, but I doubt it. The S3 has 1GB (832MB) and I'm using just ~420MB (none).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wonderdroid87:
and strange that you have this problem, have you tried to turn off the light?

also depends on rom?

I use cm10.1 latest nightly for now only a block
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Smoking Man:
I'm using the stock (default) ROM, fw 4.1.2

I've tried downloading some save files and then loading them from the menu and that works. The game loads and starts, it looks amazing and it's pretty playable, but after a while the app simply closes. Tried different levels, same result. The only thing I noticed is that if I choose half resolution instead of full, the game works for a little longer.

I think there might be several causes...

1) Not enough free RAM

2) Missing or corrupt files

3) Unoptimized app

I'd love to see how the game runs on the Galaxy S4. IMHO it has to be very fluid.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] nchantmnt:
Doom3 used to demand at least 384 mb ram and 64 mb vram on minimum and up to 1024 mb system ram and 512 mb video ram for very high settings. That's at least true for a version optimized for pcs with x86 cpu and dedicated vga-card. Here we have shared memory on an arm based processor. Sure I'm amazed to see that doom3 is even somewhat playable but bare in mind that neither was the engine designed to run on this kind of platform, nor is our platform designed to run such demanding and complex programs. Here we surely have a lack of hardware as a lack of software as well.

Probable tweaks to help getting it keep on running:

Close all other apps.

Try limiting background tasks to one/none

Setting a limit for vram and ram in cfg files if possible.

Run a light rom on your device. (I seem to be getting better results/stability on aosp based rooms than on sense)

Maybe try some kind of swap mod (not sure if diii4a can make use of swap

Lower the quality you are trying to play the game with.

Last but not least some performance tweaks can work wonders.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wonderdroid87:
Doom 3 works set light 0 on gs2

gs2 medium detail "off advance change" and set light 0 play 4 level!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Smoking Man:
I agree. Both the game and hardware still lack the proper optimization. Right now it's running pretty well, but only on a handful of devices. We need to give it time it seems.

I've been playing with it the past few days and I've come to the conclusion that the game at its current state needs a device with at least 2GB RAM. Note 2 and Nexus 4 are probably the only phones that seem to really work without any struggle. Haven't seen it yet on the S4, but that should work as well. There might be exceptions, but 2GB in total with over 1GB free seem to be the rule.

In other words, the Galaxy S3 simply doesn't have enough free RAM.

I've tried to run it at full resolution. Only selected levels load and inevitably crash very shortly.

I've tried to run it at half resolution and again only selected levels load and inevitably crash, however this time the game is playable for a much longer period as there is less to process.

I've tried restarting the phone and running it at half resolution and this has given best results. Basically all of the levels load, even a new game, but after a few minutes it anyway again crashes.

Mind you that I'm using the high quality settings and I always close all apps with task manager before launching.

I think that if the app hopefully becomes more optimized at some point, there's a chance that even people with phones with only 1GB RAM will be able to play it, but at this point I don't see it happening.

It's a shame that idSoftware haven't decided to officially support this. I'm sure that Carmack and crew could do miracles. I'd be happy to pay for an official port. Right now they're busy with Doom 4. But who knows, maybe they'll change their mind. For me personally, it's amazing even to see the game actually running on something so small as a phone. Never would I have thought this to be possible.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] nchantmnt:
all i can think of right now is tweaks like compressed ram and maybe swap spacebut not sure if doom3 would even be able to use swap

right now i'm able to keep it running without lightning but would really love to see some optimizations ;) let's see what the dev will be able to do about this.

oh and i'm right now tinkering with limiting ram and vram usage, etc hope to get it more stable.

will post results soon ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] parhelion69:
For the Galaxy S3, you can use perseus kernel, it has ZRAM support (compressed ram), and you can tweak the amount (400-500MB have been reported to work well), it has to use CPU to compress/decompress ram, and games have lots of ram access, so it'll be slower, but at least you'll be able to play it, I believe.

does someone know how to make the image brighter?

I play with full effects and it's too dark.

r_brightness and r_gamma does not work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RolandDeschain79:
Doom3 is Dark, very Dark

That's the way the game is meant to be played. In the dark with the lights out screaming. You can mess around with the config file, there's a link to a Doom3 tweak guide below.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] nex86:
No it's even more darker than it's meant to be. I can't even see something with the torch on .__.

I found out that it's a GPU thing.

on MALI 400 and Tegra 3 it's too dark and on Adreno 320 the brightness is perfect like it's meant to be.

I can try a different value for r_lightScale and see if it changes on Mali devices.

This is pretty amazing work, I remember having a desktop PC that could barely play Doom 3 and it doesn't seem that long ago!

It's a shame if the dev (n0n3m4?) is no longer working on this. I guess the reason is that it was taken off Google Play; from n0n3m4's post on his RTCW port it looks like ID Software is not too happy with people porting their titles to android :(

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Skynightfire:
This port runs on xperia play?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MentalBass1979:
HOW TO EDIT THE GRAPHICS (after this it will run a bit faster, and still look awesome)

Go to the diii4a/base folder and edit the autoexec.cfg file.

Copy the autoexec.cfg file to pc, add .txt at the end of it so it looks like this autoexec.cfg.txt , open it and edit these:

image_useCompression 2 (from 1 to 2)

image_lodbias 1 (from 0 to 1)

r_useCachedDynamicModels 0 (form 1 to 0)

r_skipParticles 0 (from 1 to 0)

r_skipSpecular 1 (from 0 to 1)

r_shadows 0 (from 1 to 0)

Save it, remove the .txt at the end and copy it back to diii4/base on your android device, play the game faster but still looking great!

I've played it on my S3 runs good EXCEPT: De Mediascanner (Mediaprocess) keeps using battery!

Seemed like when played Doom 3 it created Maps and more, might there be an corrupted file or so wich keeps Mediaprocess at using S3 Cicle time and Battery?

I use Watchdog to measure processor use or cycle overkill and after using Doom 3 it Shows that Media process gone through the roof!

:confused:

ANYONE who had this or knows a solution? Great game but
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MentalBass1979:
Addendum

Found one;

Just put ".nomedia " in all directory's of the diii4a map.

The file can be found on your Android device and be copied. Or made yourself using word pad, New and Save as .nomedia

It should be 0 bytes. It stops Mediascanner process from looking for media, as you play doom3 it created Maps and numerous files.

This will activate Mediascanner like crazy.

Did this and re started galaxy s3.... No problems with battery drainage.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] nex86:
Xperia play has 512MB of RAM, so I highly doubt that you will get pass the loading screen.

2GB ram devices are recommended, 1GB is minimum.

Even my S3 with 1GB ram and Samsung stock firmware crashed in some situations because of insufficient ram.

But it worked better on AOSP roms such as Cyanogenmod or Slimbean.

So I recommend using a clean rom and maybe you can manage to get ingame xP

btw: has someone a good config for Snapdragon S4 Pro/600 devices?

mainly for the Galaxy S4 and Nexus 7 2nd gen.

and anyways, is there away to prevent the creation of the DDS folder with thousand of files in it?

Doom3 App now in the Play Store!

Hey Poo-tang,

This app is now available from the Play Store and has an easier to use menu system for the lighting and graphics settings. I made a new video showing how to set this version up. If you have the apk version installed just go the Play Store and update the app from there. Performance seems about the same as the RC2 build but the better menu makes the game easier to tweak and test. :good:

[YOUTUBE]Knt1-jqndTI[/YOUTUBE]

Welcome to the How to Play Doom 3 Guide for Android. Gameplay starts @ 4:30. You will need the DIII4A app from the Play Store and you're own Doom3 game data. Install the app, then create a new folder on your device called diii4a. Next locate your fully installed Doom3 game on a PC and transfer the "base" game data folder the "diii4a" folder. Note that this folder should be located on the devices internal memory by default. To change the location open the app and edit the "game working directory:" entry. You might need to change this to /sdcard0/diii4a but it depends on your device. You can use a file explore program to find the location and then enter it into the apps "game working directory:"

Note: If you have the apk version installed you can update it from the Play Store. The Play Store version allows you to easily set the graphics and lighting options from the app menus.

Recommended System Requirements:

High Quality Lighting- Quad Core 1.6-2.0Ghz+ CPU with 2GB+ Memory, GPU Adreno 330, Mali-400MP , Tegra 4+

Minimum System Requirements:

Low Quality Lighting- Dual Core 1.2Ghz+ CPU with 1GB+ Memory, Adreno220, Tegra 2+

Note: In this video i'm using a Note 2.

Doom 3 port for android " now Multi-threading"

I recently seen a video on youtube showing a new version of Doom 3 port for android " now Multi-threading" and the performance shoud increase much...but I don't know how to get it, can you help me please? Thanks in advance!;)

/watch?v=veUgeU3rFT4

from Beloko games:

"Doom 3 on android, obviously Doom 3 is already on Android with the help of the great DIII4A, but I decided to see if the performance could be improved.

I have fixed the engine to be multi threaded, the frontend and backend renderers can now be run in parallel, the backend displays one frame behind, while the frontend prepares the render commands for the next fame. It is clear the original idtech 4 engine was meant to be multithreaded (before BFG edition), but it was never finished as many things needed to be altered.

This has added approx 80% fps increase over the original, the video is with all graphic effects enabled on a Nexus 7 2013, it is almost playable I think.

Still requires a very power device, also now requires a quad-core CPU."

Game not saving.

Other than that the game works and plays fine.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MCT_:
If the game Cache is Russified, you will not do anything.

You will need to unzip the original bin file of the game, which was not Russified earlier.

No need to tap, just swipe your finger across the screen to save or restore process.

In the screenshot, I swiped my finger down and "Игра сохранена... = Game is saved..."

I made a MODification of this game that would get rid of excessive squat fps:

Also, I solved the problem with sheets of textures on the floor:

But unfortunately there is no Developer of the Port for a long time in the official discussion branch.

Textures / mods on Pixel 3

Hi all, this is an old so I'm not 100% if I'll get a reply.

I've installed diii4a and copied the base files over. It world's, but the graphics are very buggy - especially when I fire, I get black blocks all over the screen. I though of installing a mod with updated textures, but placing a mod in the base or a created mod folder doesn't seem to show it in the mods section of the game (I've tried Omega and Wulfen).

If anyone's still monitoring this post, do you have any advice at all?

I'm running a Pixel 3.

Thank you
