[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] awesome360:
Thanks man u are god!

thanks it worked flawlessly..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mmm273:
Not working for me .... still freeze on XS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:

Hey people I am seeing on comments of the game, one person whit galaxy s2 can't pass the missions before the update to 4.1.2 but now he can, maybe when the update come out to Xperia s in April we can play!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] izzet3838:
Dude your insane

But ypu come with the solution after i sold my xperia s

But yeah i can play it perfectly on my s3 now

But why you guys dont try to play it using chainfire 3d
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:
Need root I don't have and I don't want to do if I can go back to gingerbread without root :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
The root process with ICS takes 1 minute and is automated :sly:

To go back to gingerbread you have to flash the firmware with flashtool. In general section is the guide if you don't know how.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:
But a

Whitout root?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaceeWearsPrada:
1. cause chainfire doesn't work on ICS so it's useless.. If I go back to Gb I can play it smooth so I don't need that crap :D

2. not our graphic accelerator is the problem.. GTA Vice City made with low optimality and precision.. Better games with better graphics are working smooth so...

In my opinion: Rockstar Games doesn't care about this problem anymore.. They fixed it for Samsung so they're proud to themselves... Who cares if you can't play it on another high-end phone?! :D My respect to R* is going down in nosedive ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SpaffyXE:
True that...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
Maybe... because we will have new kernel and gpu drivers

but the super weird thing is it worked on Gingerbread firmware.

P.S. I have Xperia Acro S, same chipset and hardware with your Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DiukPL:
Hi, Can anybody tell me why GTA III is no longer compatibile with Xperia S? This is a joke, I pay for that...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:
Maybe not Work!

Maybe the GTA VIce city not work on 4.1 Jelly bean Let's see but see this video!

[YOUTUBE]nTjURFX9Ss0[/YOUTUBE]

At least we don't need to do the hard reset but not WORK ;(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
I see... but this is just leaked firmware, we'll see results with official release from Sony.

Anyway, I can see game is laggy but I think its because of the guy played it at high settings + dynamic shadows... hell I'm playing gta3 on lowest for smooth gameplay LOL
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
On gingerbread i can play with that settings without any lag. For games gingerbread is better than any os unfortunately :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:
Now it says incompatible realy Rockstar, realy...

no ;)

I am portuguese people so it is in Portuguese
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
Neither VC nor III are comaptible with Xperia S, they have done the same thing to III because of the update. When will it be avaible for our phones? We are waiting 6 months for Vice City update, so I think we won't be able to play them on XS soon. And rockstar support is just pathetic
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
GTAIII is compatible with Xperia S and runs very well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaceeWearsPrada:
doesn't work

It doesn't work for me on Xperia Ion :( 1.00 apk with 1.03 sd .. will try it with 1.02 sd :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boncaunhaquynhanh:
it work thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaceeWearsPrada:
S or Ion or something else?

how did you do it? :eek: are you on stock ICS? :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
Xperia S isn't on the list of supported devices and its not avaible on GP. What kind of rom are you using?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
It's strange. Since the release of the Xperia S it was listed like supported device and was published on the description of the game. Now the only Xperia certified is the Xperia Play, and I can't see GTAIII on playstore... something happened here. In fact, when GTAIII was in sale (0.99) I considered to buy it because it was showed in games section-top paid games some time ago.

Well, you can get the game in other way, and it runs perfectly. You have to consider that Xperia S is a lot more powerful than Xperia Play, but it's very strange that we can't buy the game now. :(

With Vice City the same story. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaceeWearsPrada:
I think it's compatible with the phone but not with your region.. The reason why you can't see it : you're in a country where you can't download it via Google Play :D read more at Google Play about the reasons of non-compatibility
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
http://support.rockstargames.com/en...Anniversary-Edition-List-of-Supported-Devices

Not related to region
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
Lol @ rockstar. HTC rezound has the same hardware of the Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Halleyscomet:
It's worse than that.

They haven't fixed it for Samsung, just SOME Samsung phones. My phone is among the ones Vice City won't work on. The specifications on Rockstar's site list "Mali-based" Samsung Galaxy S2, but apparently Google Play can't differentiate between "Mali-based" and other S2 phones. It looks like Rockstar would rather tick off all the people with a phone like mine by tricking us into buying a game that won't work than fix the problem or drop the S2 from the supported list. They don't even tell me how to tell if my phone is "Mali-based" or not.

Update:

I've submitted a request though Google to refund my purchase of Vice City. I got a message back in just a couple minutes approving the refund. I am washing my hands of this stupidity and I won't be buying any more Rockstar games in the future. I don't trust them to tell me the truth about supported hardware.

I'm on CM 10.1, SIII and it still freezes the video whenever I enter a car. The game runs in the background, but the video is frozen...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neizel:
And...? The official support of vice city isn't anymore. We aren't supported.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:
Yes, I already put this game in the "Trash" so let's wait and see if gta san andreas when it comes work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
That'd be in 2015 I guess... By December 2014 I will switch my Acro S to something HTC or Samsung, OR Nexus because I'm a PC gamer and I rarely switch phones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cristianpark:
I know this thread is for GTA Vice City on Xperia S and others but just want to let you know that the same happens on HTC Rezound (the game freezes about a second), you can see a video here of the failure [1]. I contacted Rockstar and it's a known bug (the last update on this was on January 16th 2013)

I think I must opt for the refound as the last update was on January so maybe we won't have any fix ever. I'll let you know if I get a new response from Rockstar

Its better but not playable. the game now doesnt crash, but the video freezes - everything apart from buttons and the map. You can see that you are moving in the game from the map. Once you get out of a vehicle the game returns to normal.

And it freezes again :D I can't understand :/ I've installed the leaked JB adreno drivers too :D the results are the same :S :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] portug2:

P.S. It wont work, you'll see
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] frankfurt069:
It's a cpu problem

The Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon is not compatible with vice city

we can just hope rockstar will fix it but i didn't think so...:(

I thought I'd share this app with everyone. Did a search, but it doesn't seem to have been posted yet. It's called Screen Adjuster and can be used to remove the yellow tint some people find on their phones. The app does not require root. On mine, bumping the blue to +5 seemed to be enough since it wasn't tinted very badly to begin with.

This is perfect! Jellybean broke screen filter app and I love being able to go below 0% brightness. This app works like a charm.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Richieboy67:
Not sure how it can do anything real without root access. My guess is it is just sorry of an overlay or something like that.

How can you go to 0%? Isn't that basically screen off, and no light at all?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] meangreenie:
oddly when trying to install an apk when this app is running, you cannot press next/install... weird

the problem is related with Android Package Manager. So you gotta turn it off 1st to install any apk.. =/

I noticed on the list of stock roms from googles page ours is jop4od or something like that mine says jop40c why is this ?

JOP40C - 4.2

JOP40D - 4.2.1

I dont think Rooting alone is going to stop your OTA, but changing the ROM is certainly gonna stop you from receiving OTA Updates.

No custom ROM ROM looks stock and I unrooted it says no update and I'm on 4.2

Just wait, update will appear after a short time, reboot some times for accelerate the process

This may be stupid question but which is better now with new update

Perseus or lk8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I'm sure there wasn't much done to the kernel to make it better than the current Perseus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jsarge45:
Okay. I wasn't sure. I was hoping to get the new camera but I'll settle for new gmail until 4.2.. haven't really noticed much else except for lil more smooth os.

You?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jsarge45:
I also haven't rerooted yet. My luck 4.2 will drop day later. Ugh.. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Think we'll have 4.1.2 for a bit before 4.2. There's still some work to be done on 4.2 and if theyre releasing a 4.1.2 it'll be a while before 4.2. Easily spring I would say, but of course this is all just my opinion
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jsarge45:
I was googling rest of day and keep seeing drop date as some time Q1 2013 (Jan-March)

So if early Q1 awesome but if spring like ypu say :(

All I know is as soon as I reroot it will drop. Thats just my luck. I need 4.2 camera and I'll probably reroot by Monday but also was reading that 4.1.2 has feature to customize status bar or notification toggles. Didnt really state exactly what or how and I cant find anywhere how unless your rooted?!

But I definitely want to feel the pereus speed with lk8 smoother os

I'll also be flashing your rom and viperboys. Not fan of the blue jb.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJCacher:
Hello,

I've searched the xda forums and all over the web for a solution to this problem, and found nothing. Hoping someone here can at least explain what's going on, even if there's no solution to my problem.

I switched to the Note 2 after owning two iPhones (original and, for the last two years, an iPhone 4). I have a moderate-sized movie collection of DVD rips stored on a home file server. I used the "Handbrake" program to encode the videos for use with my iPhones and an Apple TV I have. The "Handbrake" program has a preset for different versions of i-devices, and I used the preset for a second-generation AppleTV.

All my files have a filetype of "m4v", use h.264 video encoding and have both AAC and DD5.1 audio streams, as well as a U.S English subtitle track.

When I play these files from my server (or locally, it doesn't matter where the video file itself is hosted), using the built-in Video Player app, there is no apparent way to turn off the English subtitles, and, in some cases, the chapter text (indicating which chapter of a multi-chapter file is currently playing).

I have a friend with a Gingerbread-based Samsung Music Player device, and the Video Player in his device has a menu option to turn subtitles on or off. No such option is available in the Video Player app provided with the Note 2.

I can, of course, use another player app (the MX Player seems to be excellent), but I really like to use the pop-up video option of the built-in player, and I also sometimes use the Video Player app in multi-window mode, to keep a video playing on the top 1/3 of the screen while I browse in a second window on the lower part of the screen. These options are not currently available for any other video apps unless you are rooted and have installed a mod to use other apps with multi-window. For various reasons, I do not want to root my device, so that option is out for me.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent the built-in Video Player from defaulting to the display of subtitles? I really don't want to have to re-encode over 100 DVD's, just to solve this problem.

Thanks for any help. I can't understand why a useful option like turning on/off subtitles that was apparently part of Android's built-in player app would have been removed for any reason.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g2manhou:
I'd really like to know how to remove the subtitles too. Until then, I've been using Dice, but it would be good to use the stock video player with the multi-screen function also.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidguru:
BS Player has built in floating window. It's an excellent player. It also has built in support for mounting network drives and it can offset the audio steam too. Oh, and it plays pretty much everything

sent from somewhere
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJCacher:
Thanks for your recommendation. I think I had already discovered this app - I know I was using a nice player app that had the pop-up feature, in any case.

Unfortunately for me, the real two draws for sticking with the Samsung Video Player app are compatibility with the Note 2's multi-window feature and the ability to use the player to send a vid to my Samsung TV using Allshare Play.

For some reason, a lot of other software that claims to work with DNLA and/or Allshare causes my TV to respond that the file I'm trying to play is not in a supported format (when I transfer playback from my phone to the TV), but the Video Player app always seems to have no problem convincing the TV to play the file.

I just can't believe there's not a hack of some sort to disable the automatic use of subtitles with this otherwise extremely useful app.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidguru:
I've just rechecked my Note 2's Video Player and there is an option to turn off the subtitles.

When the video is playing, hit the menu button, then settings and there is an option for Subtitles On/Off.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
Odd that my default video player does not have the subtitle selection (as shown above) as well??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJCacher:
Re: [Q] Prevent Note 2's "Video Player" app from always showing subtitle text?

Neither did mine. I suspect the presence or absence of the option is related to the file type/encodings of the video file being played.

Whatever the case, I have never seen this option available on my Note 2's video player menu.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Re: [Q] Prevent Note 2's "Video Player" app from always showing subtitle text?

I can confirm that I have the option on my video player to disable subtitles.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
The recovery goes in the PDA slot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SharpTJ:
That's what I thought, but I it does not seem to go. It says succeeded 0/failed 0

I'll keep playing with it I guess...Maybe I will find the samsung drivers and re-install them to see if it helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I have always used Mobile Odin to flash my recoveries directly from the phone. Much easier than connecting up to the PC. In Mobile Odin there is a button to select the recovery file to be flashed.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

If all you really want to do is update to Jelly Bean (LJ7) you can download this version of the OTA that removes the system checks and can be flashed in CWM or TWRP. That way you will not have to mess with the recovery.

Is there anyway cat boot rf101 from a sd card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
You can flash a new boot image with a custom init redirecting continued boot from a root partition on the SDcard.

I do that in order to run GNU/Linux Debian.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend68king:
Thank you.

That is what i want.

Is there any existing bootloader can choose to boot from SD card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Have a look at the init I'm using the achieve this.

http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian#init

You might want to read the rest of that web page as well, to get some idea about how to implement it. Also note that this isn't a bootloader, and you can not replace the kernel, only the root file system. The kernel is the one booted from the internal storage (but you can of course replace it to whatever kernel you'd like, but you can not boot different kernels using different SDcards, as you would using a bootloader).
