Optimum Grand Theft Auto 3 settings - TouchPad General

Now that GTA3 has the ability to adjust the graphics, what settings do you find give the best looks : performance ratio?

I got everything at max and minimum lag.

Cm9 or gingerbread?

Looks like cm9. Says cm_tenderloin which is what cm9 says

I'm running at max settings on CM9 0.5 at 1.7 GHZ. Very minimal lag, looks great, and using a Sixaxis PS3 controller puts it over the top. Amazing!

Off topic a bit: but I got up to the sniper mission and lost all my data. Can anyone provide me a save game file?

You could have just a bad download. This happened on my Nexus S, would try to start the game and it would crash about a third of the way through loading.
I would start with deleting the "com.rockstar.gta3" folder under "Android/data" on your SD card. Doing that will force the game to redownload data. Keep in mind if you do that you'll use any game progress.

I know why it lag,
Forgive me if I say anything wrong.
First, it is a mid-low end phone. If I'm right,it don't have a or a dedicated gpu. And the processor clock is around 600-800mhz? (Can't find this processor information)
And without a gpu, games can't load well.

This is true. Your device is actually a low end device. Having only 128mb - 179mb (accessible) ram (which is a major factor) would cause lag.
Go launcher is a Ram hog! It doesn't bother the gaming performance on my G2. I suggest try a different launcher so you can get more ram. I'm just taking a wild guess.

I prefer you use launcher pro. I'm using it as well. Clean and fast.

You should learn about processor and not about the clock only.

GTA III graphics settings

As a PC gamer, I have a hard time looking at a games graphics settings being low. I have searched all over for graphics settings that don't cause crashes for our phones but have been unable to find anything. I was just wondering what everyone here uses for their settings, or did you leave it stock?
I've left it stock and it still crashes. On every rom I've tried. I can play it for a few mins then kaput! I made it to the 2 city 5 missions in and It kept crashing.

ICScrewed has worked for me as well, although every once in a while it locks up and crashes. I do often play it with a 1.4 Ghz overclock- I've noticed a significant difference with that small change.
It shouldn't be crashing that much

Max Payne!

Max Payne is finally out! The only problem is that the touch controls do not come up on my note. So I basically can't play the game. Anyone else having this problem?

If you have the "show touch control problem" and have a little spare phone you can play with max payne attached to your hdtv via hdmi in this mode:

So what's the problem? I have the exact same issue and its quite depressing...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Sad that this is one of only a few phones this game is supposed to work with and it doesn't. I have the same problem. Tried changing resolution, hiding and unhiding joysticks but nothing works. Kinda lame. And of course it takes over 15 minutes to download the extra required files before you can play, so no refund.

Jeez. So sad that there's an issue. I haven't tried it yet, but it's waiting for me. I think I'll try it with my PS3 controller when i get home.

Works fine on mine, running stock rom with some mods. All my controls show on the screen. The only time the movement controls show is when i touch the screen and use it to move but it is SUPPOSED to be like that because you can initiate the controls anywhere on the left and right of the screen.
Same issue. It says not supported in market so i got the APk downloaded it all no screen controls and six axis doesn't work with it only the spas is working no buttons or anything

I tried freezing all emulators and sixasis after clearing their caches and no luck.
Then I tried connecting with the PS3 controller after verifying it worked with GTA3 and still no luck. Can only strafe with the dpad.

CPU Clock

Hey guys, I know we can underclock our CPU but has anyone found a good app to either increase the min frequency and have it actually stick? The only one I've found was System tuner by 3c but it only sticks for a bit and then either hangs or just plain doesn't work. I've found that keeping the min values at about 608mhz will stop just about all music skips for me. And yes I know this will kill my battery.

Oh wow. I forgot to reboot! No frills CPU is working now. Thanks for kickstarting this thing I call a brain.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Ok I'm getting annoyed now, no frills CPU works BUT it kills itself minutes after I leave the app. Ill set the CPU to...lets say 1ghz min and Max it will show in system panel that indeed it is staying clocked at 1ghz and not fluctuating. Then ill go do something else on my phone, for example, browse the xda forums, I come back to system panel and its fluctuating again!!! Ive tried rebooting after setting the CPU min/Max but it will still do the same thing. Ive noticed that after i exit no frills it either goes into cached processes or it just stops and acts like i killed it, any ideas?
Edit: I wanna say its a superuser hang issue, I've tried supersu but it seems to hang as well but I'm open to peoples opinions.

Yep same thing I'm getting, I'm wondering if there is an init.d script that could be made that would lock it at certain frequencies. That.....is out of my knowledge
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
sorry guys
this isn't possible
no matter how you try to set the min/max with ANY unit.d script or app, it just
will not stick.
at first it well seem like it's working for a few minutes. but then something happens and the kernel basically says "no that ain't gonna happen anymore" and kicks the min/max back to where it should be (the sliders in the apps won't move, but the actual system min/max and governor will be what it is supposed to be)
trust me, I've tried this from just about any angle fire the longest time.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news

It crashed for me also.You have to do the same instructions To make it work that are for gta san andreas.You can go here and go to page 3 i think.It explains what you have to do.I think i had to do that once or twice and then it would work fine.

For me, Deus Ex : The Fall crashed after choosing any Main Menu option. Enabling Android Settings-Developer options-Force GPU rendering allows the game to run properly.
In my case it started to work somewhere between the kk update and some foldermount tinkering. Nice to here about the gpu trick, might come in handy even though it breaks lecturenotes.
