Just a small quick and dirty app that let you change some of the GTA3 default settings.
Original settings are backed up to (GTA3 Folder)/files/GTA3/gta3.gtsettingslauncher.set. If the app completely fails or you want to use the original settings after uninstalling the app, just copy this file back to (...)/gta3.set.
When your gta3.set is missing, please start the game and go to the display options. Change some settings and then hit "restore defaults". Then try again and start the settings app.
If there is still no settings file, get one from this forum (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20950484&postcount=29) or google. After launching the game with the downloaded settings file go to the in-game display settings an click "restore defaults". That should fix some problems with screen width and height.
Available Settings:
Shadows: On/Off
Lighting: On/Off
Resolution: High/Low
Rendering Distance: 18 Steps
Blur: On/Off *
* Blur is not working for me. The setting is always disabled when starting the game. Maybe it is working on other devices (Tegra?).
Currently only tested on I9100 with GTA3 German. Please let me know if it is working or not.
Changes:
2012/01/03 - v1.4:
catch more exceptions
changed launcher, it now hopefully will find the target more often
2012/01/02 - v1.3:
added another external_sd path (now searching in "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Android/data/", "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/", "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/data/" for package)
2011/12/31 - v1.2:
added launcher icon
added blur setting (which might have no effect)
changed namespace - please uninstall the old version manually. I used an example package found on the internet as skeleton and forgot to change it, sry
2011/12/29 - v1.1:
added external_sd to search path
Make sure to download the LATEST version.
Thankyou excellent work dev,works great.
My device is zte skate
And at 900Mhz on Atomic 2.5 rom,
Chainfire reduce texture size and quality,
With this app you have created,
It is running good now.
I just get instant force close when trying to run this. I was looking to try the lower resolution for performance increase.
I'm using a rooted vibrant (t959), with a custom 2.2 rom

Can you please post the full path to the original gta3.set? I think the path can't be found.

Works great now, thanks for the fix. Almost lag free now. Thanks!
thanks for sharing, i hope this is worked on my device
Works perfect on the HTC Desire HD! Thank you! :>
Sent from my loved HTC Desire [email protected] <3
Works perfect on my Sensation! Thank you!
I've attached two screenshots. One with defaultsettings and one with tweaked settings.
I get forced close also on zte blade (orange san fran)

When does it crash? Right after starting the settings app or when you try to "Save and Start"?
Can you please also post the path to your gta3.set? Maybe it is a path problem again.
Awesome!
Work perfectly on Xperia play!
It crashes just after starting app.
I fixed it I had to download and copy the file called gta3.set into the correct folder as no file of that name was in the data folder. After I did that the patcher worked fine. :O)
Seems some phones don't create the gta3.set file. Maybe you could include one with the patch or make it auto generate one for people like me. Thanks for the patch. ;0)
Awesome app. I was wondering though, is it possible to integrate more features/mods in the app?
Theres a post on the main page of xda showing mods, also another thread in this same section for gta mods like lamborghini/audi/VW cars, coca cola machines, better texture packs, etc. That would be crazy if you can add those features so we have a all in one mod app for the gta game and can apply them without much messing around. Hopefully that would even help more people add more content to make the game experience even better.
This worked great on my Asus Transformer!
I was surprised to find out the default settings were set so low. Even on my Tegra 2 device. It looks SO much better now.
Thanks for this - works great on my Desire Hd and Haipad M7S - draw distance on low means I can have the effects on and it runs fine on the Desire!
where should i paste this file?anywhere in my sdcard?anyone?plss..
edit: got it work..thanks OP.. ^^
Added a launcher icon and the blur setting. Bluring is not working on my i9100 (it is just disabled by the game while launching), but maybe it will work on other chipsets.
Download is appended to first post.
Hello guys and girls! This tutorial is for those who thinks the P2 has insufficient audio while wearing headphones. Note that I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone or your hearing. Just backup the files and you should be good if you accidentally manage to screw up!
[1] First step is to download a root browser (I used Solid Explorer).
[2] Navigate to /system/etc
[3] Find the file called Mixer_Paths_MTP.xml
[4] Backup the Mixer_Paths_MTP.xml so if you screw up it's just restoring the old file.
[5] Open the file using a xml editor (I used Solid Explorer's own xml editor, this is because Quickedit wouldn't let the values stay after rebooting).
[6] Navigate in the xml document and find the following values= "HPHL Volume", "HPHR Volume", "RX1 Digital Volume", "RX2 Digital Volume", "EAR PA GAIN" (The one without the 1P5 in it) and "RX3 Digital Volume" and increase the values to your liking.
[7] Reboot and enjoy your boosted volume
Optional; Do the same procedure to the file called Mixer_Paths.xml if it doesn't work solely editing Mixer_Paths_MTP.xml
thanks, will let you know once I've tried it. Its on the way currently!
Do you know which control should I modify for a microphone volume boost?

Sry pal I actually don't know which values are modifying the mic :/
Or just install V4A or Dolby Atmos?? You need root for this of course.

I made a thread earlier about Viper4Android being insufficient in boosting the volume. Hence this guide allows you to boost your sound even further. ?
Thanks for the info.
Or just install Kodi and play your media through that,it has a built in software amplifier

RX1 Digital Volume, RX2 Digital Volume, RX3 Digital Volume all which I believe are set to 83 from the beginning and EAR PA GAIN which I believe is set to POS_6_DB from the beginning My personal setting is set to RX1, RX2, RX3 = 93 and POS_15_DB
Does this work even when one uses headphone in conversation to hear the other person? I mean using an headset with headphones and microphone.
is this working after resetting the phone ?
or u should do it again ?
Well, for me it acutally doesn't work at all @Stock deodexed ROM (s244). Changing any values the aforementioned XML causes the phone to not give me any sound at all - even after rebooting.
Changing the values back doesn't help either, the only way to reset the problem is to reflash or to replace the file with the backed up version. Seems rather strange, but well.
Phone has to be rooted in order so make changes in the .xml file, right?
Yes, because you can't edit the file without root access. You can open and read it, but editing is impossible.
hi man，How to increase Ringtone volume（Speaker volume）？
my phone is China Mobile N2，cpu is Qualcomm 625，
/etc/mixer_paths.xml,
mixer_paths_mtp.xml,
mixer_paths_qrd_sku3(h,hf,i,m,n).xml,
mixer_paths_skuk.xml,
mixer_paths_wcd9306(9326,9330,9335).xml
Which file should I modify?
and What data to modify?
Please give me some guidance if you have time，thanks
OK, so one thing I did notice while testing the volume boost (which works fine on Lineage OS) is that the noise floor rises significantly when boosting the volume.
Listening with bigger headphones like my DT880s is possible then, yes, but you notice that the sound lacks body and depth, the amp in the P2 just isn't powerful enough to drive them adequately. I'm usually not someone who believes in audio voodoo, but it is really noticeable here.
And then, In-ears just sound awful because the noisefloor is constantly hearable.
So, in the end I reverted back to the normal state because I listen to In ears way more and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages here IMHO.
It seems nothing comes without a price
Easy way
Flash @Wonder Wicked Witch sound mod
Go to the viper app
Then extra gain enable and do max gain to max
EZ PZ LEMON SQUEEZEE
Need the mixer_paths_mtp.xml file

Could you please send me the file mixer_paths_mtp.xml because I didn't back it up (I know I am fool) and now don't have sound at all... If you do this I own you!
There you go : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GwSEvJ4yq2pEb1gQWMj0iUoyHXjcsTbm/view?usp=sharing
It's from viper OS (7.1.2) so I hope nothing changed, but I hope it works for you
Hello,
Anyone have an idea on how to set the download booster limit that is at 30Mo.
I'd like to know how to set it at 0Mo.
Any dev can have a look?
Thanks.
I have seen people mod thermal engine file for faster thermal processing ,etc in this case, what i meant is the literal
file inside the bin, not the .conf, I'm trying to configure my own thermal mod right now, but still using default engine and that's bugging me, as i can squeeze out more stability as seen on other thermal mods.
Even though supporting one single device, they have different sizes and different scores.
I really would like someone teaching me whats inside, or how to code it!
PS, I asked the devs but they either wouldn't reply or just say they didn't want to spill it.
Is it compiled using something? or what? a complete explanation would be great!
In my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 I increased the maximum sound volume by editing /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
On my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC I tried the same.
I made a copy of
/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tavil.xml
file, modified it, then tried to copy back to the original place with Total Commander.
The device is rooted.
Anybody can tell me how to increase the maximum sound volume?
Dolby atmos, digital, digital plus increase the volume
These are apps available from Google Play?
I don't found any of them.
Any idea related to the original post?

How about my original problem?
Is there a way to write back the modified mixer_paths_tavil.xml back to phone?
