The last GTA3 thread had to be deleted because of such behaviour, so this is everybody's last warning - the slightest hint of anyone distributing copies of this or any other paid app/game in this thread will result in instant bans.

Haven't tried it myself, but Rockstar has issued an update to the game on the Market adding full support for PowerVR devices. It now allows me to install it on my Defy which means they've explicitly added support for it.
Will purchase it when I get home and report back. Not gonna download the game over 3G!

I buy games from the market because i am an id*iot..
I do not download games..
SO ANY BODY GOT THIS BABY WORKING? I GET AROUND 30 FPS WITH LAGS.
BUT CAN PLAYING.

edit the gta3.set whit hex editor
i have edited one for defy
all effects from the xperia play (light,shadows,trafic light, blood, smoke tire ....)
resolution to medium low
and distance to medium low
and som small tweaks for stutter (not working 100 % yet)
if you have problems i can upload my gta3.set not the game itself only the gta3.set file modded .

I am using the .DAT file fore SGSII.. and the game work perfect but with a little lags... can you pls describe how to change the shadows and dis. to medium? cause i just might change the SGSII file and optimize it for Defy use..
Here is a little tip how to make GTA3 more playable for you :
**Use at your own risk**
-Download from Google SD date files for GTA 3 for Tegra 2 (nVidia GPU).
-Replace with it the Original ones.
-Download ChainFire 3D and install plugins for Tagra GPU.
and use only low quality textures (might help a little)
-Download the .dat file for samsung galaxy S 2 and replace with it the original.
-also you can delete the radio music as i did but it might, might not help .
Now the game must run a lot better and with better quality then before.
again you can always restore every thing if you made back ups..
P.s. Tegra 2 Chainfire 3d plug in won't work on a normal GTA 3 but only for the version which was optimized to use with tegra 2 gpu.
p.s.s you can also turn off Dalvik JIP . i may or may not help you...

yeah sorry i was @ work here you go
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=495708&st=0
iam working now to lower the sound quality so the gameplay is smoother (iam hoping that posting the audio map is not warez here)

I have already optimized it for Defy. and the phone working better then iPhone4.
btw i lowered the resolution and view distance to better and don't have any issues .
Not the best and i believe that only v1.3 will fix most of the problems.
Just i have minor lag issue sometimes .. when cache is loading and i have no idea how to get rid of it.. i have tried to disable dalvik but its not very helpfull...
any ideas?

Playing just fine here after 1.2. If you are using chainfire better uninstall it as almost every game I tested with it got frame drops.

I now have a problem with the game, it just closes in the middle of a mission, no reason. Can you explain all the steps you've done in order to play it?
PD: if we're both from Argentina, why speak in English? xD

Hahaha it's true. I think because of the forum's rules.
I gonna wait for install this on my Defy, at least until it's more clear.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Saludo kapos, yo voy a esperar a que todo esto se esclarezca un poco antes de querer instalarlo en mi Defy (la vez que intenté no me anduvo).

You can communicate in any language you wish but there must be an English translation posted too.
Any posts that do not contain an English translation will be deleted and the user responsible will be punished.

So, the game is almost unplayable in my Defy. Lots and lots of slowdowns.
I asked some of the people here for their files to try, but no response so far. Then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417810
I installed it, but doesn't seem to change anything.
Anyone had any luck with it?

[Q] Free Heroes 2

I tried to follow the instruction and still I'm getting a blank screen. Has anyone install and manage to play this on the Tab?
Anyone~ 10chars
Description
Free implementation of Heroes of the Might and Magic II engine.
Requires original game data files to run.
You can download DEMO version of Heroes 2 game from startup menu.
If you have FULL Heroes 2 game just put data files to SD card to dir app-data/net.sourceforge.fheroes2
Requires large screen. Campaign is not supported yet.
If you don't like this update you may download any older version from my site.

It's not a game that I've ever tried, but do you have the original game files as mentioned above?
Yes I got the original game files, but I'm stuck at blank screen.
In case anyone is wondering what it is, this is working on Xoom
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/05/07/review-videos-nerdgasm-fully-working-heroes-of-might-and-magic-2-homm-2-on-android-and-boy-is-it-good/#configuration
i had this working both with the downloaded demo files as well as the original files on my galaxy tab 10.1
After some updates the beginning of the month I'm also now only getting the black screen.
After some googling, it seems that this is some display problem with sdl on this build. You can actually hear the music going with the black screen. Perhaps trying an older version, compiling our own version or.contacting the developer is our only options. I'd very much like this to work again.

Oh ok, I thought I was the only one.
Alternatively you could try VCMI for HOMM 3, its working on my tab

I'm sorry, are you sure about HOMM 3?
UPD:
Found topic about VCMI. It's very great thing!!! I thought that I'll never see HOMM 3 on android.
freonix, thank you!
So does anyone else have any chance on HOMM 2 on Free Heroes 2?
VCMI for HOMM3 kept crashing on me
I got a black screen on my Asus Transformer.
I can hear the sound and if I manage to go blindly through the interface I can start a new game (I hear the grass or sea sound) but I cannot see anything, just black screen.
The game works fine on my HTC Desire HD. The VCMI doesn't work neither on the DHD nor the AT.
I wrote the author an email about the problem I had, hope he reads it soon!
Kind regards.

use QUALCOMM pluggin (if i reember correct)
am using qualcomm plugin
something is there... can u help me out
to fix that you need to install chainfire 3d v2.8, that will fix the white texture problem
use "lower quality texture" and quallcomm plugin and make sure your device is atlease 1000 mhz and using chainfire 3d 2.8 version.
chainfire 3d 2.8 isnt working in my phone
if u hav urs...working then pm me..
i will give another try
Its working perfect on my SG3 with Chainfire 3d v2.0.....
Make sure That if you are using Chainfire Pro its legitimate...as the app details say that Per App settings work only on Chainfire pro purchased from market..
i tried it on cf 3d pro 2.0 and 2.8( recently pm ed by a friend)

can anyone seend me the link for cache files.... i think something is wrong with cache(sd card data)
Are your values in the per app settings or in the general settings. If they are in the per app settings, Use reduce texture quality and quallcom plugin in the general settings and then open gangstar.

OK first of all you should know that the format of tga file given by gameloft is dependent on the device downloading the game.
If someone downloads the files and then reuploads for others then the files being downloaded by others is not compatible with it.
So what you need to do is simple convert those TGA files to open system ie such that these can be run on any system/mobile.
Visit this link actually its in unknown language i too dont know but links are provided with it. :victory:
Visit progamix.heck.in/cara-mod-gangstar-wch.xhtml
from that page download "The Compressonator" link is -> adf,ly/bBoQ5 Password for file is "progamixmod"
download and extract its amd software to view tga files know you need to open tga files being supplied by gameloft in this software and save as new tga files thats it.... Now transfer those to phone and enjoy........
Note: IF software says cant open tga files then rename *.tga to *.dds and retry to open .dds files and save as new tga files.

actually update wouldnt resolve it... instagram use OpenGL 2.2 and Galaxy Y has OpenGL 1.1
words from Instagram Inc
new version 1.0.1 but I see the same black pictures..
Well, samsung sure messed up, giving our model an outdated openGL plugin.
I haven't a clue about how to port, or update the openGL plugin version on a phone, but could someone from the developer section care to enlighten us? As in, is someone genius enough to attempt to update our openGL to 2.2, from 1.1, or is it impossible?
I don't know if chainfire3d would be able to work with it, I'm not sure :-(
What worries me, is even in the chainfire3d thread, it states your device should have openGL 2.0 for it to work. And that IS confusing, as I use it successfully, to make gta 3 ten year anniversary game work , along with others.
So if someone is reading this from developer section, who makes custom roms, or knows how to update the openGL.so driver, then please enlighten us.
Why oh why though, did instagram have to choose 2.2?
Why not create their app, using simpler filter effect methods, like how picplz, etc use?
Anyways, hope someone with some brains knows the score LOL.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk
And just for the record - I like or would like to use instagram for android more for the Social network elements, more than the actual filters, applied to photos. I know there are other applications that do it better, but it's just the instagram buzz - their service, when you use the new app, as a glorified photo viewer, seems to me like they have pretty much their own Social network in the app, how working follow users on instagram, similar to how you follow people on twitter.
So unless instagram use some backyard compatible openGL, or incorporated the 2.2 plugin in the app, then were screwed. Hell would freeze before I admit defeat and buy that phone beginning with "a" that is a dirty word here lolz
So I hope someone from dev section can sensibly help, or suggest what could be done.
Can chainfire3d be used, to update a plugin to make instagram think it's running 2.2, or something?
I really don't know LOL. So hopefully someone who does know will see this and reply ;-)
Thanks in advance.

According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512749) sgy's GPU is OpenGL ES 2.0 and according to Instagram support (http://help.instagram.com/customer/portal/articles/168158-supported-os-devices) it will run on any camera phone with Android 2.2 or above with support for OpenGL ES 2.
I don't see why it doesn't work on sgy.
Last night I went out an update, but still not working: (
According to bechmark app Quadrant Standard this phone is equipped with OpenGL ES 2.0. I think that Instgram could have troubles with QVGA resolution.

Google is your friend. Search it. That's what I did, and it works (off topic)
It's chainfire3d that needs openGL, AND it's gta 3 that needs just plugins you can install in chainfire3d, to get it to work. The actual plugins aren't the webGL part.
(Back on topic)
Hmmm, it's working on galaxy mini? Has that got ldpi, QVGA screen too?
I've seen @instagramhelp on twitter tell someone that our device only had 1.1 openGL, but clearly they don't know $#&t!
Well, I don't know if galaxy g5 is similar to mini, but I will try on that phone, as it's got cm7 (psyke's madrom port) on it.
If you look at the help, @instagramhelp are giving on twitter too, you'll want to scream at them lol, they're lliterally copy and pasting a generic answer to anyone who has a android device, which shows you something ;-)
Anyways i'll try my other phone, and just keep an eye open for it here and in play store
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk
Yes it does. Somehow it gave me the regret on why it doesn't work well on our device.
And I do doubt if they can answer anything about the problems. I tweeted to them last night, still waiting for reply.
our device had 2.0 from the number version on build.prop says 131072 since 65537 is 1.1
what's causing it to work is may because of our phone's GPU..

They only give me a copy and paste answer about phone model and OS version :-(
They mention the black squares issue on their know issues page, and trying to fix it, but they only mention galaxy s 2, not our galaxy y.
But who knows, perhaps it might work then, but I really don't know.
All I know is that I was looking forward to getting instagram for android for months.
I wish they'd of just done the filter technology more android friendly, like how camera 360, or picplz is :-(
Anyways, thanks!

I can suggest Lightbox, it has an advanced camera and it's community oriented just like Instagram. But I think we're going a little bit off topic.
But there's really something that makes Instagram different from other apps. Let me just go OT for a while: back then I keep on using Pixlr-o-matic + CameraZoom FX, then share to Facebook. Nothing fancy though. Not until this app was released. Took a pic, and shared, then a different feeling came out of me. Perhaps since I think that having it's own app + personal site to view the photo/s makes the big difference.

Hey Zotak, I have Vice City on my device too which is also running CM10.1 and mine runs perfectly - I've never had a problem.
There are a few simple things you can try such as freeing up space on your device, deleting the game's cache and data (this is safe and doesn't remove save games), ensuring you have no CPU or memory-heavy applications open whilst playing the game. You can try using this app to remove any applications using up all your memory.
What is your current CPU state? Try changing it to about 1075MHz and then playing, your CPU might currently be restricted. (settings>performance>processor)
