GTA3 on the HTC Sensation... - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I've installed GTA3 on my HTC Sensation.
Everything works fine, but I've seen on other phones that there are additional effects included (eg, effects of light on cars...).
I haven't these effects on the Sensation.
In the XPERIA PLAY forum there is a modified gta3.sit file, where the effects are added.
I've also tested this file. It works, but all the icons are very small and you can not press the icons.
Is there a solution for the sensation?
With effects and the correct size of the icons?
Thank you.
Maik

[Q] Less compatibility for Apps

Has anyone else noticed how many more apps are NOT compatible for Sensation (also Evo 3D)?
So far the following very popular great apps have issues:
> BackStab HD (Assasins Creed Clone)
Market Link
> Samurai II
Market Link
Any other noteworthy apps have problems? Most Developers are saying it is a phone issue and not their issue. Not sure thats true, but figured I'd put it out there since I haven't read anything about this.
Lol those are not Apps but games, has nothing to do.with sensation ...since its a fairly new phone support for those games will come later and now.go cry somewhere else. BTW i can play both games fine!

Are there apps that are not supported because of a specific phone or are they OS based?
I know NHL Gamecentre had an app (friend on a Desire Z had it) but I couldn't find it at all in the market and I had to find an apk on the internet and it installed fine then.

okay but why isn't google home there in the market place. When I go through the market on my PC it tells me its not availble for my phone but thanks to d/l of the apk file I know it works for it.
I have samurai ii. It crashes a lot! The description says that the sensation and evo 3d isn't compatible and it isn't the game.
Battleheart and zombieville usa has these problems too.
I tried them but will eventually crash.

The confusing thing is that all the games that are compatible with the Adreno 205/200 should be compatible with the Adreno 220 because of the backwards capability it has. I wonder what's causing the issues.

No need to be a **** about it. There are most certainly other applications aside from just "games" that are not working for the phone. It was intended to insight an answer regarding specifics for Sensation issues like the known bluetooth problems with HTC.
I'd love to know how you are playing these games fine if both explicitly say they don't support the phone. It's one thing to flame a dumb question, it's entirely another just to post crap. Grow up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't see any real reason why it would not be supported. The only thing I could think of was Sense 3.0.
The irony is that the LG G2x is supported, but the Sensation is not. Go figure.
These games don't work because they were made using the Unity engine, apparently support is coming soon.

ive thrown plenty of games at my sensation with no problems yet. Download spare parts and enable compatibility for old apps, works like a charm for me at least

Help
Hey I can't run Asphalt 6 and Dungeon Defenders pls help
That's just kind of marketing problem, not Hardware problems.....
Like Tegra 2 games, you can find versions made not to check if it's tegra or not and working well on the Sensation (for ewample I have a 100% working Pinball HD For Tegra2)
And some games were written specifically for tegra (stupid!) and need some re-writting for Adreno now.
Also, the fact is that many warez won't work on the Sensation, more than on my previous device that's for sure.
Asphalt 6? Buy it on Gameloft wapstore directly, it works perfectly. Try warez: they'll mostly fail.
Finally, some games say they are not compatible just because with our qHD screen, touchscreen controlls will be messed up, like the version of Schrek Kart I had: working fluently, but you must press above the virtual buttons to get them working.
To finish: talking about apps not compatible:
if you try to install an app and it says "App NOT installed" and you can press "OK" and that's all.
=> Try installing this app via ADB ( adb install \name_of_your_app.apk ). Many will install this way and perfectly work!
That's what I did for many apps (Blackmarket alpha is one of them^^)
Thanks guys!

[REPORT] 1.45.401.2 HTC official base issues | Please report your problems here

Hey guys, I though we can do some list of known issues in latest 1.45.401.2 HTC official base. It would be good idea if later as many people as possible can report the complete bugs list to HTC so that they hurry up with the update and we'll make sure they are aware of all the issues so that they wont be present (hopefully) in next build.
Confirmed issues:
Broken 3D engine,
Bottom dock edge is not smooth (for all 3 skins),
Language issue: (Polish) In HTC e-mail app after selecting unread message the button "Oznacz jako przeczytane" (Mark as read) have text cut in a half,
LMW.apk is missing by default so we can't use "Make more space" in SD card settings,
The phone doesn't always register first power button click to put the phone on standby. It has to be hit twice for the phone to drop to standby,
Zooming in a picture in gallery and pressing the back button doesn't zoom out to the original level,
Phone is embarrassingly slow and choppy as for Dual-Core 1.2GHz device. Especially scrolling through widgets is very laggy,
Phone is getting warm even when scrolling through the desktops,
Not confirmed issues:
Other things to report:
Still missing correct kernel source for 2.3.4 ROM,
Write you suggestions and propositions of better description to the issues. Also report your language issues like missing translations etc.
Nice post Mike, the RUU has been on shipped ROMs for the past week but my broadband has been down
Had the HTC reps in work a few days ago and got one of the guys to esc the 3D issue to their tech/dev team with a detailed description, hoping for a fix soon

This is very good news Lee, hopefully they wont brake anything else lol. Do you have some suggestions for the list?
Not sure if it's an issue but scrolling in whatsapp conversation is unbelievably choppy and laggy.
Hell even if the GPU wasn't working, the dual core should be able to handle it. But no.
Really weird (My HTC G2 is 10x smoother).

Is there no way for these to be manually updated?
Or would it need a whole new release by HTC?
When you zoom in a picture in gallery and press the back button it doesn.t zoom out to the original level. In music player side scrolling in albums tab does not work.

Yes, you can flash libs from 1.35 base but only with custom kernel. But it's not a fix, just a temporary solution. It must be fixed by HTC.

GTA 3 full effects enabler :)

This will be very helpful for those, who succeed starting the game and playing, but don't like the graphics
just download attached rar file (gta3_full_effects.rar), and copy extracted file (gta.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
- backup existing one
Basically it is .set file from Xperia Play
and that's it, now all of the effects are enabled (such as car lights, traffic lights, raindrops and a lot more)
See some screens to see difference, normal on the left and with effects on the right.
Some users experience not smooth run or some bug's. I believe this happens if you use this with Chainfire3D, as comes some misconfiguration i think.
For me gta3 run's great and smooth. But mine gta3 works without chainfire3d or any other external app help.
Added original gta.set to attachment for those who want to rollback
Added .set file for Samsung Galaxy SII, if this your's phone, try this one first
Enjoy playing!
You mean effect at the right no?^^
Thanks anyway it's cool

go to options > controls in the game, all buttons can be moved around the screen, by double tapping on them they change size, so just adjust them as it suites best for you

I was just hoping to turn down the resolution
is there a possibility to open the .set file?
is there a possibility to leave the fps display or store
sorry for my bad english
I don't know why do you get resolution problems. I tried this on my Galaxy S2 and the resolution is just fine, buttons and all and I probably SHOULD have problems since Sensation has more pixels... weird.
Changed roms. smooth gameplay now!
Hi I have sensation xe with no root or something like that
and game isn't smooth, so I saw that some of you have same phone as me and I wondered if you could edit this gta.set file to work smoothly on stock sensation xe
For me it wasn't the gta.set file that was causing the choppiness as I experienced the same thing before extracting the set file. Hope this helps

ITS AMAZING! the graphics, the simulation, the phisics, everything its well made... my sensy at 1118Mhz can drive it well, even with 300Mhz 3D GPU and 200Mhz 2G GPU what keeps it really cold, the optimization is near to perfect, the cars look great, the traks even a high speeds you can damage your car and need to repair it, a totally better version than the RR2, also the traks are exactly the same as Gran Turismo 5 and the cars like the S13 runs exactly the same than GT5 so i know every track and know were to brake or accelerate wich makes me win races even against real life pilots...
the only problem is when you are in the staring grid the game just runs like 1-2Fps but is becase is loading all the cars and cometitors i think...

When the game was released I quickly went on Google play store and searched for it but it didn't showed up. But I downloaded the apk file from the Internet, installed and started downloading and it downloaded the data and now I am able to play it. The first version was 1.0.56 which didn't appear on Google play store and now EA has updated the game to version 1.0.59 which appears on play store and can be downloaded without any problems. You can see the screenshots. Sorry I clicked the pic when the game was paused.

Try downloading apk + data from a random website or TPB. Then copy to your phone and install.
