GTA 3 - how do I save? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a really simple problem, but I can't for the life of me suss it out!
How do I create a save in this game?

go to your safe house

Slightly aside, but I have a Xoom as well as a gs3. I use an awesome app called Saveshare to sync my saves.

Thanks guys. I have a shedload more questions:
1. How do I turn the radio on when I'm in a vehicle?
2. How do I look at what my current mission is after I go away/pause for a while and then come back?
3. What are "horn" and "skidmark" icons meant to do? They don't seem to do anything when I press them.
EDIT: found out these are handbrake and horn.
4. I don't seem to have any sound whatsoever when I'm in-game - only the title music when the credits are up at the start? I have checked and music vol and sfx vol are at 79% (the default).

Also, I'm kinda gettin a bit hacked off that the game freezes and crashes every 10mins - it's like you complete a mission, and then before you can get back to the safe house it crashes... anything I can do to prevent this?

Uninstall game and make sure you download the additional files in one go. Fixed sound issues and crashing for me. Think some corrupted files

Will this wipe my saves?
EDIT: It wiped my saves, but fixed the sound. Not sure about crashes yet...

Have you seriously never played GTA San Andreas or it's inofficial Multiplayer mod on the computer?
Man, that's culture!

Free TV app! Suck it Hulu!

So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...

Oh how nice it would be to have HDMI mirroring.
This is actually pretty cool. It has Modern Family and Mad Men... I haven't looked any further but those videos played fine.
Nice find! This is pretty cool. Thanks

Yeah, some videos aren't perfectly synced or perfectly smooth (particularly jersey shore), but I wouldn't be watching my favorite shows on this anyways. Maybe just willy nilly at the gym...
Wow did I miss jersey shore :-D those retards

It appears I was able to pick this up in the small window that it was on the market...I'm currently trying to find a way to edit the default resolution of the app, as right now it is not taking advantage of the Atrix's increased resolution and it's not filling the bottom of the screen, anyone had any luck with this yet?

Actually DG's Adeo "ROM" took care of this for me , it also de-odexes your system and adds a few power options...check it out!

I'm more than happy to deodex my system, but theres no way to REodex just yet. It can potentially lead to update problems. I see no real benefit to deodexing. I don't really care for the reboot (although would be very nice), and ad's are usually outta the way.
The ad in this app doesn't interfere with watching the show, but it would if it was full screen...
Well after flashing the stock sbf and re rooting and using the market fix I can't find this app anymore... Wish I had saved it with titanium backup.. I know they just came out with the hd version that utilized way more of the screen if anyone has this app could you post it here? Maybe att is blocking this app? Might have to wait till I get to a wifi, switch air plane mode on, and see if it shows up. I can find the developer but not the tv shows free or tv shows free hd app... Any way to keep att from restricting what apps show on the market?

I wouldn post the .apk "officially" on the xda Servers because the app sounds fishy ^^

Need for Speed Shift HD, Let's Gold 2 HD

It's not a warez question, I'm just curious: is anybody get NFS Shift HD and Let's Golf 2 HD working on NC CM7 in full screen mode? I don't need your apk's or installation details (however if you can share some tricky settings like build.prop changes, PM me pls) - just a simple proof, "yes" or "no". Thanks!
P.S. NC with latest Dalingrin's kernel and nightly CM7 shows the very good performance in 3D (compared with first GTab, for example - just did some comparisons on this weekend) but lack of my favorite games makes me kinda upset :-(
I to would like some info about getting NFS shift full screen. I have it loaded and playable, but the image is only as large as my OG Droid screen.

You forgot to add usual "clear data and Dalvik cache, reinstall CM, reinstall kernel, knock the tambourine" etc. what is always recommended by "wipecleaners" noobs
From my experience: these games are using a native arm dll so it's not a real Android native apps (java-based); so the Spare Parts is useless in that case.
I'm still trying to get Let's Golf 2 working. Anyone have any ideas?

Boost Grand Theft Auto 3′s graphics with a few simple tweaks [from Android Community]

Boost Grand Theft Auto 3′s graphics with a few simple tweaks [from Android Community]
From Android Community --
"A few of you have probably been reliving your most outrageous Liberty City exploits since Rockstar released a pint-sized port of sandbox classic Grand Theft Auto 3 for Android last week. While the game makes the transition mostly intact, some of the graphical flair of the original is missing, probably to make it run better on a wider variety of Android phones and tablets. If you’re running a high end phone with a fast dual-core processor and a competent GPU, it might not be using them to the best of their abilities. Luckily, German site AndroidNext has found a hidden settings file within the game’s data folder, which will allow you to modify some basic graphics settings."
For the full effects in GTA 3 on Android you have to do only the following:
1) Connect phone to PC and connect as a Disk Drive
2) Navigate to the directory
/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
3) Backup existing Gta3.set
4) Download and extract gta-3-full-download effects.zip
5) Drop included gta3.set from zip into the /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 directory
6) Done!
P.S. - confirmed it worked and no lag from the tweak as well. Happy Holidays everyone!
P.P.S. - here's a link to the original .set file to revert the changes. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2114079/gta3.set
Nice find. Tried it just now and the graphics got way better, but it actually got a little bit slower for me. Thanks again.
Edit: Nevermind. Left 'Powersaver' on in SetCPU settings. Runs great!

What ROM and OC are you using? After this patch the game looks definitely better, but the framerate is v-e-e-e-r-y s-l-o-w :-/ StockROM

Wouldn't it possible to do this just by extracting on the phone with a file explorer app?

At the moment I'm using ViperROM Redline with Anthrax stock rc3. I use ViperMOD to overclock it to 1.6 and the IntelliAnthrax governor. I was running MIUI before and it was lagging pretty bad, that's why I switched.

LOL I just figured it would be possible. I'm not sure though. I'm trying to see if the .set file is there but every time I navigate to the the GTA folder all I have are the many folders that look like they would be the contents of a zip file.. maybe when my phone downloaded the files they automatically unzipped somehow?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
so do we actually replace the file then?
I wouldn't change it. As you can see theres not much difference and its not worth having the on-screen controls messed up.. the one with the pickup is before and the minivan is after...
The only thing is the bridge but before i took the screen cap it took a couple of seconds for the bridge to load the bottom(The difference between the 2).
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Damn screencaps are lower quality. They look way blurrier then they should be. Either way look at the on-screen controls...

Nevermind got it. Also you can adjust where the controls are to the person who said this messes them up.

I picked it up from the Android Market before they restricted it to only certain devices. I use ChainFire to unroll the textures to 32-bit, makes everything a bit sharper and its not only in a game.
I'm pissed I missed my chance at getting this game. Now I have no clue how to get it...

gotta question..need some help

Ive noticed ever since i upgraded to ICS.. ALL my music has the same album art...ive downloaded apps that say they clean it up and find the correct ones but nothing has worked. I cannot find anything that works or to fix it...and its very annoying...please help!!
Ive also attached a few screen shots to show what i mean...all help is appreciated.
Wow, my phone does the same thing! Never noticed it before, mainly because I don't use the stock music player, but you could try rebooting into stock recovery and clearing cache, cache only- not data. That seems to fix alot of things for alot of ppl. I use poweramp, it works like a dream but you have to go through the settings and specify which folders to play from or it will play literally every piece of audio in your phone, including ringtones and game music, gets annoying sometimes to have to skip through so many things.

Guys, I'm having the same issue and my GTA III is the bought one, last version, 1.3! I can even send the google play store's e-mail if you want me to.
Actually, I have these bugs:
- Sometimes the cutscenes freeze up and I have to skip them;
- I have the same menu problem, after sometime it disappears and I can't save, I can't do anything...
I've already tried this:
- Clear cache;
- Dynamic shadows off;
- Different resolutions / graphics;
- Killing every background app before playing.
Is anybody out there suffering the same problem? Every other game plays just fine, actually I just bought Dead Space and it's working great... It's just with GTA III.
Upgrade to latest firmware.(6.1.1.B.1.54). Bug is now fixed by firmware
