[HOW-TO] Better GTA 3 Graphics on TouchPad! - TouchPad General

Unsure if this has been posted before but by replacing the gta3.set in Android/com.rockstar.gta3 (I think that's correct) you get lights, shadows, blood, better rendering etc. There is no TouchPad specific version that ive seen but this one works. Backup your original just incase.
http://db.tt/CA4uhInX
After you replace it, start up the game and go into controls and move the virtual buttons back to their original positions as they get moved.
Again sorry if double post.
Thanks!
(I take no credit for the modified file)

didn't even know they had GTA for the TP. I'll be looking into this one for sure.

Yep in android market, you may have to tweak build prop for it to show or buy with a different device and side load.

thx
but still no better graphics light i dont know the game is lighter more son and car shine!
but that's all the road etc doesn't change!
is this the ipad graphics paths?

made the game really laggy for me, im reverting back to before, thanks anyway though.
im running alpha 3.5 by the way.

Changed everything for me. Lights now work etc. I'm on 3.5 beta and of course it uses more resources this way. Be sure to kill any tasks before playing.

I'm having issues hitting the menu button in game. Anyone else?

I have never been able to even see the menu button so far. Stuck with force stopping it after I play.

Cyanogenmod settings/Tablet tweaks has an option for full screen apps so you can keep your status bar visible or hide it. I use the home button to view/hide status bar in full screen games.

Thanks for the tip. Good find

Cool,thanks for the tip.Yay,blood! LOL

yeah it works
Thx love it!, and lags not so much! Seems alright no overclocking

Okay, after testing I had to revert to original .set file. The new .set file was causing my miui.us to crash randomly on it's own. At first I thought it was caused by my tweaking with overclocking, but even after I reversed those changes I would still randomly get booted out of miui. After I reverted the .set file the crashes stopped. Bummer. I really was digging the brighter graphics (and the blood, lol)-although it the game was noticeably more laggy.

What Dialer do you use?

I am currently using Dialerone.. I give it a 4 out of 5... The only issue I have with it is that the dialer buttons are so small. It is very hard to hit the buttons with one hand.
I contacted the developer and he would assist with making them bigger but he said he needed a streak designer.. Whatever that means.
The buttons look great on the droidx nice and big.. but small on the streak..
Does anyone know of a dialer that is comparable to the default dialer with large buttons, but also has t9 lookup built in?
thanks
.. edit.. second issue i have is the call button is so damn small, it is half the size of a number key.

You might take a look at aTakePhone. I think I read it has a T9 option. Not sure of the button size. I used it all the time on my Palm Treo. Developer is VERY responsive!
http://www.shsh.com/
Tried a few of them...
Dialerone seems to be the best..
only thing i miss in the default one was T9
You may have a look at thaidial
It does have the T9 too!
<but, eh, it retains the small buttons problem.. But, I think they are a bit bigger than the Dialerone>
Its free, give it a try too.
care,

Installed Dialerone last night.It was ok. But when I wake up this morning, a lot of my apps was force closing, even mess with the frame res apk. I found out that it was the Dialerone was messing with it. When I uninstalled the app, the phone is back to normal.
ramtix,
What rom are you running? When you report stuff like that you need to provide more info.
Even though your problems started after you installed dialerone that does not mean that dialerone is the cause. It could be a combination of apps that is the problem, in other words when they are both on the phone you have issues and with only one no issues.
I use dialerone with no problems. I'm running 318, with the performance fix on an unlocked (direct from Dell) Streak.

UPDATE 15.09.2011
Now Added Virtual Gamepad to the screen by paulscode
paulscode said:
I decided to post an official build with the virtual gamepad, so folks can start testing it. I probably won't have time to make any updates or bug-fixes until I get back home (there are a couple known issues, see below)
Test APK (source code)
Test APK 2 (sort-order bug)
IMPORTANT: You will need to update the app data, because several changes were made, mainly to the button masks. If you do not update the app data, you will get weird behavior of random alternate buttons pressing when you are trying to press other buttons! In case anyone isn't familiar with how to do this, the easiest way to update the app data is to delete the folder app-data/paulscode.android.mupen64plus from your SDCard, The emulator's DataDownloader module will then automatically download the new data for you when you start the app.
Known Problems:
The first thing you will notice is that the hat image doesn't move. I purposely disabled this, because the call to "invalidate()", which tells the surface to redraw, was ridiculously slow and having a major hit on performance. I'll need to rethink how to redraw without requiring so much CPU power (possibly some kind of timed "redraw granularity" rather than redrawing on every touch event that involved the analog stick).
The second thing you will notice is that it is really easy to "drop" the analog stick if you slide your finger too far (while running forward, etc). I'll need to implement some type of "stick capture" logic.

Beats live wallpaper (CLOSED)

(THREAD CLOSED FOR NOW). SORRY GUYS. WILL REOPEN SOONER THAN LATER.
Here is my first attempt at a live wall paper. The settings are very basic. Go to settings> size and make the biggest size and leave FPS alone.
I am still NEW to this and i know it doesn't fit fully on the screen. I'm working on it. Give me time since I work 2 full time jobs LOL.
If someone would like to make a video of it for a preview that would be great

At first glance for a first version its not horrible, some work and this will be worthy of 2 - 5 bucks on market
A sharper graffic and text would make this a lot better.
Suggestions
Placement options ( top-middle, bottom-middle, center, left-center, etc. )
Multiple graphics ( colored versions of beats logo, multiple logos )
Multiple or custom text.
Text highlights. ( would be nice if you could get a nice scrolling highlight like old vanilla boot animation. )
Movement only when playing music. Like oe livewallpapers
Touch input beat ? ( option for a deep drum beat upon tap. )
I downloaded 5 hours ago to test.
I have noticed that the animation slows. I don't know if the gpu is low on mem or if its just normal.

[Q] Prime's performance in Balance mode, honest answer please.

Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15

your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

Sixaxis controler app just got updated to work on jb 4.2.
Can some one please share their profiles for Nova 3, Dead Trigger, Asphalt 7 and mass effect infiltrator.
I am having a hard making profiles on the N 10 due to the buttons being too small.
thnx
Could give these a shot. They are for the nexus 7 so I'm not sure if they will actually work.

The "Dead Trigger" profile I tried definitely did not work...
It seems that any profiles that are just keymaps (ie: controller up = "up" button, controller down = "down" button, etc.) should port fine, but anything that uses the touch profiles (almost every game) will require new profiles due to the larger screen and different resolution. Buttons will end up being in different places on the screen, and the profiles need to match that.
You'll just have to tweak them to the size of the screen. The cool thing about sixaxis is you can just take a screenshot of the game while you're in it and then import that screenshot as the background of the profile while you edit it. It makes creating those profiles super easy.
I'll do a few and upload them later on.
Here are Dead Trigger and Shadowgun to start with since I already had them installed.

It turns the analog stick into a simulated "touch" - the game can't tell the difference.
Can anyone make a profile for Modern Combat 4?
Edit: Scratch that. Making profiles is simple enough. The controller works in pretty much every aspect off the start, except for aiming and a few misc. controls (throwing grenades, crouching, sprinting, and opening the boost menu).
Does anyone know how to reduce the sensitivity of the dualshock3 sticks? On the Nexus 7 when I use the right stick to look around it is much less sensitive than on the Nexus 10. This makes the N10 very difficult to control and requires very fine movements of the stick.
EDIT: you can change the sensitivity in preferences/button properties

In Nova 3 when I hold the left analog stick to move forward it will stop moving after a few seconds and I will have to let go and push forward again. Any fix for that?

Yeah Icouldn't find download buttons for them after I uploaded either. Thought maybe they had to review all uploads before they go live or something...
You're having that trouble with the profile I uploaded in this thread? I'll have a look at it.
Yep, I'm using yours, thanks. In tried making the button bigger and smaller but it didn't help.
