I managed to get GTA III mobile on my inspire and it runs great. Very little lag even with the extra effects enabled and without overclock.
However, the accelerometer seems to be 90 degrees offset, I have to hold the phone portrait in order to steer straight and steers hard right/left depending on which landscape I'm in. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
How is your accelerometer doing in other apps?
If it's not responding as desired, you can download/try one of the accelerometers calibration apps found in the market.

I have plenty of other accelerometer/racing games and never had this problem. Something to do with GTA III. I'll try calibration.
Personally I'd try redownloading the app and try it again

Did you download the data when the app prompted or download on your PC?

I downloaded when prompted. Tried calibration and still no fix.
I just tested it on my phone and it also bugs.
I really don't know what it could be.
You could try other ROMs.
I've actually tested 3 different roms myself, but they didn't prove much difference in performance for me.

I have the same problem on my htc sensation, you have to hold the phone upright, aill look around and post here if i find a fix.
im running the the newest beta ics on my inspire it runs great for about 20 secs of play then the hole phone freezes i am oc,d tho but also have tried on gb builds and same thing happens havent tried using the acc but i need to figure out why it freezes any ideas i do skip the beginning intro doubt that would be the prob ive downloaded the data twice just to be sure and same prob even with chainfire disabled on the gb build same thing

What version GTA III do you have?
V1.1 quit after playing some 30, 40 sec.
1.0 appears to be fine.
Edit: doesn't quit, it freezes, having to "battery pull"(it's not even a force quit).
ya thats how it was for me the whole phone froze couldnt power off or anything 1.2 fixed it for me
Yep same here on stock GB non rooted inspire... All other games work fine..

The issue persist for me on 1.3 as well
I heard is it's a compatibility problem; when a game is built to be played in a tablet, where it's default screen is landscape, the accelerometer in the game will play normally, but when playing the game in a phone, witch is made to be always in portrait, (badly made games dont know it's in portrait) the game wont compensate for the 90 degrees between sideways and upward position.
If you downloaded a hacked version or whatever, didn't get it from the market, this may be the issue.
Edit, idk if the explanation was too confusing, I just woke up.
technically it works like this:
If a game built to be played on tablet, or badly built game:
When played on tablet: 0 degrees difference in accelerometer.
When played on phone: 90 degrees difference (from landscape to portrait devices) that the accelerometer SHOULD compensate for, but doesn't. Same with the tablet, if the game is playable in both landscape and portrait, it should compensate those 90 degrees when switched screen modes...
just bought it from market. Still no fix (SGS3).

Has anyone got any games running on the Psx4Droid? I can't seem to get it working. It freezes on me when i load the game.
I tried 2 games, cat with a hat. (Small download size just to check)
Chrono cross.
Beware you cant load games while the play has a memorycard connection to your pc. Found that out the hard way.
Jea, can confirm. Spyro the Dragon don´t work, DOA, FiFa and so on. Hangs on start and crash after some time.
*Edit*
Tested the 3.0.1 - still don´t work. Testet another BIOS file - still don´t work.
Try yourself:

I think it's an issue with Android >2.2, as his blog also mentions problems with the Xoom and Nexus S devices. He's working on it, so I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

3.0.5.. Havent tested it yet though.
Downloaded from zodttd but it just froze on start up every time so couldn't use it. I have been told FPSE works well but not tried it myself.
FPSE works extremely well.
Had a bit of Tekken then Kula World, it's all good.
Yeah 3.0.5 not doing so good.. lots of force close or wait..
Will give fpse a go..
Psx4droid sucks all the games play almost in slow motion use fpse its way better and not just a big waste of time

Hey xda followers!
I have a hardware problem with my Transformer since the beginning and was too lazy to change it by a new one...
My problem is that I use my device with no problem but sometimes I am loosing touch inputs...
If I let the Transformer go into sleep mode alone and unlock it, I have to force lock and unlock again to have good touch responses back...
Then I can have a good session of 30 minutes of use without any problem and then, randomly, touch input precision is lowering, until I can't use it anymore and I must lock and unlock rapidly again...
Very annoying problem for sure...
But today I decided to search through google, forums, xda, to have a beginning of solution to my problem.
And I found THE Touchscreen Booster application.
It's an application that was made for Viewsonic G tablet at the origin. The famous Bumblebee discovered it at first so thanks to him for that. And the thread talking about that is from gojimi. He modified the application to be more easily usable. So thanks to him too!
Being an android application and having titanium backuped all my applications, I thought: why not trying!
So I installed it and launched it... AND... TADAAA! Just incredible. It worked, no problem at all, no force close, no freeze, nothing.
AND: touchscreen inputs are incredibly smoother, sensitivity has been greatly improved, response time between writing letters is better, multi touch is improved... It's just paradise. I don't know if you tried Ipad but the result is that type of sensitivity...
This application can be used by all types of roms and for people who have problems with touchscreen sensitivity or just want a bigger one
Please leave here your feedback, positive or negative, and remember, do it at your own risks, I am not responsible of the potential problems after applying this application.
It worked for me, my Transformer had never been so smooth, so why not yours!
Maybe you will have to launch the application some times, when you feel that sensitivity was better before, or after boot... But you can put the application on your desktop and touch the button FixMe!
Share, enjoy, and say thanks

Wow, nice. My touchscreen was a little slow and not very sensitive to touch input. running the app has helped quite bit.
Omg this is perfect.

This probably edits something in build.prop and other system files, so yes. I'll confirm this once I try it.

Well, when you launch it, there is no SuperUser action popup to allow the application so I am not sure that you need to have root access...
And, yes, it has an effect on every touch app (try writing a message before and after applying the apk or try playing angry birds, there is a big difference)

SO i gave this a shot and some aspects do seem smoother to me. None of the handwriting apps i tested were any diff as before the test.
I already had what i felt is a smooth responsive touch screen, but was curious to see if it was going to get any better.
QUESTION: when you run the app it says after hitting the calibration button "Follow the directions exactly"
I hit the button and it says calibrating screen dont touch, but no other directions.
Am i missing something here or is that the extent of the directions...
All in all not sure if it is just a placebo or if it is actually smoother. I suppose others with really bad touch response may see an effect.

No, it really is not a placebo, believe me. It was even more noticeable in my case (read my first post about my hardware problem) but even when my device was ok, it wasn't so smooth as it is right now.
For the instructions, you don't miss anything.
The important thing is "DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN WHEN CALIBRATING" because it could screw up the calibration, and if you do the opposite, the result would be that you wouldn't be able to use the device anymore, because not being able to relaunch calibration (if you have the dock, no problem at all )
That's all

So, to people who tried this application, what is your appreciation now after one week of use?
Anyone for some feedback for who has used it for about a week now?
With my TF I have a "dead" / "very unresponsive" line (about 5 mm wide) under the camera over the length of the screen.
This is very annoying when opening the market (difficult to select the search field) or when trying to tap the taskbar when the TF is rotated 180 degrees.
Sometimes it works normally, so I do not know if it is the ROM / Kernel or just unresponsive hardware.
Could this solve it?

After several weeks of use, I didn't see any battery drain more than when not using it...
Archos 101, well, it worked on Viewsonic G tablet and Transformer, maybe Archos 101, but I don't have it so I can't test...
Why not testing it if you have it and report here, and if it works, in archos 101 forum too?
Has anyone else had touchscreen problems after the 2.3.6 (55.13.25) update?
ie: it stops registering touch after about a second of your finger being in the same place.
or is it just mine and i should get it fixed?
(i did search and didn't find a thread for this, only atrix 1, so sorry if one already exists)
****...I thought it was Osmos HD. But this has been happening after the update while playing the game, really frustrating
I've been noticing less general reliability from the touch screen.
No noticeable problems here, but I'll be sure to pay attention to it now...
It's working fine for me.
Try installing "Touch Test" from the Android Market and see if anything weird is happening.

If you turn off HTC Gestures, you will get 10 point touch.
Otherwise its just 2.

Forget the noob questions:
1) What would be gained from 10 point touch (i.e. benefits)?
2) What does HTC gestures actually do for us?
1. Some apps require more points. i.e. a guitar app forming a chord.
2. htc gestures is only for the 3 finger swipe up for "Media Link HD" which is for wireless screen mirroring.

Nice one (I was wondering wth htc gestures were). When I first saw it I was hoping it meant for things like lockscreen gestures, etc.
We really need a sticky for tips, etc for things like this. I know we have limitations without root but I bet there are still quite a few little tips/tweaks that would be helpful.
Nice tip. I was wondering why some gaming was failing. Downloaded xmen from amazon app store yesterday and the joystick kept screwing up while i pressed the other keys.
I was having a problem where my phone would go to Media Link while I was on calls (guess my face was rubbing it and kicking off the gesture). Turned the gesture thing off and no longer have that problem.
**** yeah!

Hi all!
I've noticed a somewhat strange problem, hope you can help me
I have 4 games on the device, clash of clans, samurai siege, king's empire and chip chain.
These games are working correctly most of the time, but as soon as my battery is lower than 55% or so (I'll let you know the correct amount as soon as possible), all the games except chip chains won't load (stays on a black screen until the ANR dialog comes out).
Have you ever heard of this issue?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Edit: the problem started 2 days ago on 4.4.4, today I've installed Android L (yes, full wipe and so on), and the problem is still here
Reboot tried but doesn't work. The only solution working is charge the battery.. I'm going crazy lol
