Grand Theft Auto III now available in Android Market (may support our device).

As announced earlier,Rockstar Games has released GTA III in the Android Market today. Available now for $4.99, it works on select Android devices, mainly those running on NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, although company is promising a TI OMAP supported version soon, which will work on devices like Galaxy Nexus.
Games Features via Market Description:
Visually stunning updated graphics, character and vehicle models
HD quality resolution
Gameplay optimized for touch screen devices
Custom controls for the mobile platform
Countless hours of gameplay
Gamepad Support for select USB controllers
since,gt-i9003 uses T1 OMAP chipset,so i believe it will work on our device.

Tried to install the apk today, and got "There is a problem parsing the package." message.
not sure if its because of the chip or because i'm still running stock froyo that came with the phone "FROYO.JPKC2" (2.2.1) (arabic version).
If there is anyone who tried the game with gingerbread or a custom rom, please share if its working, and if it requires chainfire, etc,
thanks guys

does droid 3 use the nvidia chip? if not, you and the others that are testing the version of the game intended for nvidia are seeing that you should wait for the omap version, as OP stated

New version (1.1) supports PowerVR and works in our device (no FC after intro), but the game is slow, especially when you're driving a car. I have tried reducing textures and quality on chainfire, but doesn't improve too much.
I am on KPQ and CF-root without OC, you can try with UC OC, and will post here the results.

Holy cow!,this game runs awesome on uc v6 and xkpq, just tested it,guess what it runs faster than my brother's i9000

V6 is laggier as v5 test 6 has more gpu optimizations i think.

i playing like xplay enjoy guys

My download stopped about halfway through, and when i opened it again, surprise surprise, it worked!! with no sound tho :S
the graphix are pretty smooth and the controls are very responsive, however the FPS drops a little with sharp turns or quick view changes, still quite playable.
I'm on stock froyo without chainfire 3D or any custom kernals.
Update: The download was corrupted as the memory card became full and save games are corrupted. Perhaps the sound files were never downloaded in the first place.

Without audio it works like a charm..

[Q] Q} 2.3.6 Vs 4.0.3?

Which Stock Rom is best Performance for Nexus S?
Android Gingerbread 2.3.6
or
Android Ice Cream Sandwich​

I'd like to know too
Sent from my Nexus S

Easy for me!! Codename android --> ics 4.0.3!!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I can't really say much about stock since ics isn't out yet for i9020, but I definitely prefer custom gingerbread over custom ics. OXYGEN has been fast and rock stable for me, whereas all the ics roms I've tried have given me short battery life and many crashes.
I definitely prefer the appearance and functions of ics though

How can i flash oxygen rom? Im from ics. i9023

Just wanna ask because I have Codename 1.4 rom on my nexus s too. Do you have the problem in camera mode, when you want to use silly face effect? I can't use it.

what base versiom should i use? Wat gingerbread version
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

thats easy
ICS without any doubt. The phone feels a lot faster, my battery life is better in ICS then in GB, ICS is polished and beautiful, some new apps only work on android 4.0, the new OS has some good built in functions, like 3G data monitor, you can now make panoramas without a 3rd app, etc.

If looking at stock roms, then ICS for sure. Much more efficient usage of RAM, multi-tasking which allows me to close out apps I have open. It looks clean and nice color scheme. Also Holo (font) is freaking awesome. The new ICS widgets are also nice. Calendar and gmail have been improved.
I haven't played around with the various ICS ROMs yet to compare those.

GB. ICS is slow opening apps. Also the transitions look more polished but at the expense of snappiness. I flashed back to GB stock to do some things on the phone and I am noticing how fast GB is.

I would say ICS (not stock). Currently running nuhetri v3.0.1 with AirKernel with voodoo colors and I definitely like it more than GB. No problems with this ROM and it has a great performance and battery life.

But the question is about the stock roms, not the customs roms....
For me is GB, is more faster and don´t have so many lag...

It's kind of weird that a lot of people are saying that GB is a lot faster than ICS. At least on my experience, ICS is much more fast and smooth compared to GB.

I will test later with others to see if it resolves

i have CM 9 version 3. I like it. Its beautiful looks is a big thing for me . performance wise... there is a little "lag" but think about everything else you get from ICS. i dont mind it at all .

4.04
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...

Whatever stock or customed
ICS is much better

i think CM9.1 is the best :good:

aokp build #8

Best way to choose rom for you is to check out what the roms offer, for me one is best for you maybe something totally different, so check out the threads and make a choice, if you don't want to do even this its better to stick with stock.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app

everyone has a different perception of what's best so asking others won't help.
Make a list of what features you want in the rom then check in the different rom's thread. Select the one which has the most features from your list and that rom would be the best for you

cm9 #8
most stable has no bugs

i wanna rom wid no bugs and full lworking camera and other features thnks for ur repliies
if u can provide me llinks that wll be awsome

in that case, i would recommend you cyanogenmod 9.1 nightly build 11 by ayushrox. i, personally, have used it.
what you will love is, without any calibaration or battery saver app, you get 9-10 hours of battery backup with moderate internet usage (2G-3G auto switch).
for me, the camera crashed 4-5 times, the first time i flashed it. (camera caputers more clearer pictures) but, later all worked fine. i found usb tethering to be a bit unstable.
still you, will love it. less ram usage. increased internal space. hardware acceleration. it's lovely bargain. :good:
no fm radio !! :crying: i love listening to local fm radio stations.

I played Temple run & Dead Trigger.
Temple Run needs spontaneous touch gesture input & Dead Trigger requires the same but, also has to provide high-end graphcis as much supported by our gpu, simultaneously.
Now, in cm9 rom, the processor & ram management are done alongwith hardware acceleration (ics's legacy feature). So, Temple Run performed good. And, Dead Trigger impressed me with it's fast graphics rendering (high end games like this, tend to eat up your battery, but the cm9 rom lasted the battery for longer times :thumbup: )
So, overall verdict is, high end / hd / large games will take some time loading first, once you start playing, you will love the experience.
Though i would recommend using Advanced Task Killer (or something else to kill all your running apps), so as to free up ram for the game. I use the Game Speeder feature in Advanced Mobile Care app. It does the same thing in one click & optimizes your phone too.

CM9 build#11 is the best rom till date for htc pico. But wait for htc sense 4.0 rom by deferas to be stable, it will be more better than cm9
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

priyansh03 ... can you please provide the link of what you are saying ?
and btw, htc sense 4.0 is a firmware (UI). it cannot be a rom, because rom is an operating system.
the rom can be based on gb / ics / jb with htc sense 4.0 as UI.

(Q) GPU Driver Update for sense based JB Roms

Hello I have been experienceing issues with graphics on all of the sense based jb roms and no.matter which Rom, or kernel I use the graphics are extremely laggy and the advanced games like batman tdkr, and GTA3, as well GTA VC, and a slew of others freeze, lag, quit responding AMD so on. So my question is are there any devs that know of updated gpu drivers for the one x? Currently I had to downgrade back to stock in order to use 90 percent of what I use

Hi,
It's normal, even thought I don't have CM11 installed - due to the ARMv6 processor, some games will play slower especially when you touch the screen (I experience this on stock ROM).
I am not an expert and never done it, but I would recommend overclocking (You can do it directly in CM11). Use caution, however.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa xD
You've got to be kidding me.
[bold]The first week I got my phone I noticed the touchscreen bug and guess what? I GOOGLE-d it.[/bold]
That's our main hardware issue, our phone's CPU goes crazy on touch, phone simply lags as hell when playing games on touchscreen.
(A dev, Caveman I believe, made a fix to reduce this bug up to 80% when I was on GB and I don't believe anyone implemented his fix in later 4.1+ Roms.)
It's funny, you mixed CM11 with Games xD you shouldn't be able to play a game higher then Flappy Bird on that ROM.
