[Q] Vice City - HTC Sensation

Hello guys
I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried to edit build.prop file and buy Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from Google Play. Probably some of you heard that phone freezes while entering to the vehicle or while driving, but by foot it's ok. It's interesting, cause this HTC was supported week ago, like it is on GTA III.
Regards

Hello again,
No one had replied so I took a chance.
I've edited some lines the build.prop file and made HTC Sensation as HTC Rezound temporarily. After restarting the device, I bought and downloaded this game. First impression? It works, entering to the vehicle etc., so our HTC should be supported.
Regards

What's your rom/kernel?

I heard a rumor it works good on GB

Well, tbh the game crashed twice while driving and it rly pissed me off, but later it was playable - especially on medium details and 60% of draw distance and 100% of screen resolution with enabled dynamic shadows and disabled frame limiter. Average FPS is 20.

I have bug of vheicle freezes on ICS/JB/SENSE/AOSP/CM. The problem is in the game...

Yeah, it's a bug with adreno 220.

Hi I want to edit the build.prop for my HTC Sensation XE. Is there any chance id end up in a bootloop? And do I have to use a ps3 controller when playing vice city or can I still use the onscreen buttons? Thanks.

Edited my build.prop and attached a screenshot of it as I have no idea which line you need to change.

[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).

Mate Ninja Fruit on my Desire HD ROM runs perfectly smooth but on Sensation ROM (the same tweaks as for Desire HD ROM) is lags like hells. Yeah... "amazing dual core 1,2 GHz to provide even better multimedia experience"
Just uninstalled it, played on my nexus s and no problems, tryed on my vibrant and no problem, am talking about the cordy game, it totally makes tbe sensation crash worst than an underclocked kernel

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.

my phone is still stock, I could not put a permanent root yet, but I think I'll do to better performance.
Coming from PC Graphics if the display is doing that it looks like a fault with the GPU, possible over heating, not making contact with heatsink etc. Perhaps the game is making you phone overheat? I'll have to try the game myself and see if it does it.
Happened since the 2.3.4 update.

So,it might be the problem with the Game itself...generally i am limited to Angrybirds and Unblock Me types of games...so dont have much idea.

This is the only correct reply in the thread so far.
Custom kernels have fixed this.
This is because of stock kernel. HTC screwed up and you can't play heavier games games now. Known issue

Same thing happened to me on stock with the same game. Haven't tried it with CM7 and Faux's kernel yet.

Wow seriously? Wtf is up with HTC? They are really dropping the ball with this one.
Mine force closes samurai if I don't have wifi on ever since the 2.3.4 update. I just uninstalled samurai for now until htc fixes the problem. I don't really play games that much so it doesn't bother me. I do watch a lot of movies on my phone, so as long as it plays movies fine, then I am good.
Other games work fine. Gameloft games, battleheart, zombieville. They run on the unity engine, like samurai ii

Tested it out, works really well. No issues at all. To clarify, I'm running CM7 Alpha 5 and Faux's CM7/AOSP 0.1.9 kernel.

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

Controls are fully adjustable in options, so all ok here, just adjust them as you need, or reset to defaults, this must align them too

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

Yes i know.
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

[Q] ICS App Issue

Hi there everybody. I want to ask you a question. I have a issue with Asphalt 6. It's a cencor issue. When i look it to calibrate the cencor it seems normally. But in asphalt game the cencor is very very uncalibrated. I have to turn my phone nearly 80 degree (almost vertical) to drive it on a line. I am not sure but i think there will be another issues with another games. So any solution?
And there are some issues with other gameloft games too. Example: Modern Combat.
I have an Applanet issue too but it seems everybody has it. So i ignore it.
Sorry for my bad english.

That's an app issue, I've had the problem with my galaxy s running ics too. The app needs to be updated by gameloft to support ics. If I remember correctly, you can get their latest beta (After you buy it!) from their forums by emailing them which should fix the issue.

I have played through the entire game on my Sensation. At first I was hesitant to purchase it because I didn't know if it would run at all. To my surprise it ran reasonably well even on the stock Sense image I was using at the time. However, after playing through it a little there was obvious lag, stutters and just hiccups that would come at inopportune times and cause you to lose the race. I then switched launchers to Nova while still retaining the stock Sense ROM. Things got better, much better actually, but still not good enough. Then I rooted and went to cm9.1 stable + Nova and things were almost perfect! I played through the rest of the game, actually pretty much the whole game, with cm9.1 + stable and there were only a few occasions where framerates degraded or hiccups/stutters messed up the gameplay. I thought what I was seeing was pretty much the best the sensation could do. That was until I recently upgraded to Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang. With that ROM NFS-MW is now running practically perfect. I think the key difference here is the amount of free RAM. With CM10.1 I have significantly more free RAM and can hold open 2 or 3 times more apps than with CM9.1. The Sensation is severely lacking in the RAM department and NFS-MW is a very memory-demanding game. The lighter the OS load, the more RAM is available to the game, the less swapping occurs and the ultimately the more fluid the game plays. Hope that helps.
perfectly running under cm10 by albinoman
if you are running sense, use faux kernel 10b9 or 10b8 overclock it to 1.7 then use intellidemand as governor.
