Hello guys,
I modified several files so you can play without lag in gta 3. The radios were disabled you can turn them back by renaming them (against a loss of performance of course). This does not change the game atmosphere
It work with all the android devices but I have to create this one for the galaxy S.
I created an archive
Step one : Backup your actual audio folder Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3
Step two : Delete your audio folder
Step three : Just extract it in Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3
Feel free to send me a return
Sincerely Kwee

Tweaks to make yours games more smooth
- Download galaxy tuner and apply my settings in memory manager, you must to be root(Snapshot 1)
- Kill unnecessary services, services leave only these services (see Snapshot 2)
- Put this configuration in gta 3 (only works for version 1.3) (see Snapshot 3)
- Freeze the following applications with titanium backup or app freezer : Allshare, ChocoEuKor (wallpaper), Swype (or keyboard samsung if you do not use it), CoolEuKor, 1.0.0 Error, Print via Bluetooth, Maps, MTP application, RoseEuKor, VPN Services, SNS 1.0, 1.3 Talk
- Overclock your phone at 1,2 Ghz(safely) or 1,4 Ghz(much faster but risky)(see Snapshot 4)
- Use Io Scheduler "Noop"
- Use a bigmem kernel version(break 720p and front cam) but with that i've no slowdown(I would do a video to show you the gameplay on my phone)
A higher LMK or a lower LMK makes your game slow, for me this is the best configuration.
It depends on how many applications you have and the number of services that run in the background.
If you except freezing after 1-2 min on Soc Qualcomm(I think about the i9001, Xperia Ray and other), it's a adreno issue i have not found a fix
If you play on PoverVR chipset, there are no worries

V2 is Out ! Same experience with and without sound !!
After some changes I got to get an audio folder rather optimized to achieve the same performance (approximately that without sound). Somes sounds was missing but this does not ruin the game experience.
I uploaded this on mediafire.

[Gta 3]Audio Performance Tweak [V4] Lags demystified
I recently installed Gta 3 on a Xperia Ray, it worked perfectly on it (Xperia ray Snapdragon MSM 8255 to 1 GHz). I was a little surprised then I decided to copy the data on my phone and go through Chainfire 3D plugin Qualcomm). The game worked better than my old data but lacked a lot of textures). So I modified the data by adding images to PowerVR chipset. Results: No more lag with all audio. I do not really understand why I'm trying to dissect the data to see why. Knowing that the game has been optimized Xperia play I think the code is less heavy for its chipsets. Other Soc PowerVR are carrying a dual core. This is my theory. If anyone has more info is welcome. I'm currently uploading the "optimized" archive.
Awesome. Thanks dude

Remount script for data audio on External SD
This is a tweak for those who have an external memory card, the script can raise the audio file Gta 3 on the sd card. It allows you to empty your memory a bit but mostly frees your internal map of a load. This allows for an even smoother gta 3. I will soon make a list of all the tweaks which make the phone more responsive.
To run the script you need a kernel that supports init.d if it does you can follow these instructions
- Make a copy of your audio file (/ mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio)
- Copy the audio file on your external card (path / mnt / sdcard / external_sd)
- Copy my script in / system / etc / init.d with Root explorer or file manager
- Restart your phone
The audio file will be physically Gta 3 on your external card but the system will think the content is still in / mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio
nice work, will try this one later today
which rom are you using for playing gta3?
Just a rom XXJVU changed with my tweaks and devoid of the bloatwares.
I understood why the Xperia ray cache / play is faster. The game has been optimized to take less memory (The Xperia Play has 512 mb of ram). In Gta 3 there are two factors slowdowns: audio and memory.
The Xperia Play cache is optimized to take less ram, that eliminates one factor. This leaves the audio (the audio code of Gta 3 is really poorly optimized). By combining my two "tweaks", this allows a game much more fluid and enjoyable.
i'm not sure if there's any difference between the original files and the files that you provided because i couldnt get the wifi to download the original files.
so i just put your folder into my sd card and the game worked. not as smooth as i'd like but it's good enough.
i just downloaded the v3 pack to replace the v4 audio pack because im still getting horrendous lags whenever a sound plays in the game.
thanks for your effort, buddy.
May I ask how big is the performance boost gained by using the adreno cache?
This is really awesome!
Aside from the boost in FPS, graphic improvements such as car lights and traffic lights were also included. It's really smoother than the original files.
One question though, why is the game files from V4 a hundred megabytes larger than the original game files for my Xperia Play? Did you add some other things besides the performance tweaks? Were the audio files the only ones you manipulated or are there other unlisted manipulations you did? I'm being paranoid, please help me clear my mind. I don't want strange things happening to my phone or my Xperia PLAY optimized games. Thanks!
I tried V4 on a i9000 with cm9 kang. The run much faster but it lacks a lot of textures.
how can i fix it?
I had the files downloaded already, didn't want to unzip all the things from v4, so i only changed the audio with v3...and wow...it wasn't running this nice even on Gamerz rom (JVU)...i'm on Simply ICS 2.9 right now, glitch kernel v14 b6...everything is perfect...no lags at all...overclocked to 1.4 GHz
I'm glad i found this thread...
Hello people, first thank you very much matyas69 for sharing with us your work with sounds and creating those 4 packs.
I managed to install GTA 3 on ZTE Skate and now it runs smooth on it the only problem i have it only runs smooth if I delete audio file (turn sound off) so I tryed to use your v3 sound pack but it still runs bad with it.
For budget phone like ZTE Skate GTA 3 can work with sound only if it has just basics.
So i would like if you can make sound pack with only:
Car sound when it hit something, tire sound
Weapons sound, movie voices sound
Turn off:
All background sound
Siren sound (it is on too often)
Engine Sound (it is on too often)
Pedestrians comments sound
Or if I am asking too much can you give me advice how i can myself turn all those sounds off. There is much ppl with budget phone who would like pack like that also ppl who like extreme performance so it would be good to have extreme performance sound pack
Thanks in advance
Thx

FC in GTA III
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant running on 2.2Froyo(Toxic Rom & DMZ Kernel)
Even games like 9mm & Asphalt 6 run fine on my device, with overclock(in rare cases)
But I have installed GTA III v1.3 and took Titanium Backup.
Then I downloaded SD data from some site. I have two versions of the same(So basically my first question is that is SDcard data size specific to a version,and as long as it is higher it shouldn't be a problem rite?)
And then I copied audio from your v1.4 Sddata zip.
Now, I have tried with different launchers - GO, Zeam and killing tasks or boosting memory ,etc.
But when I click on GTA III, after I accept EULA and it asks me to download data(I press back button)
and then press home key.
then when I click GTA III from notifications, it opens up and then after two vibrations or so, it closes itself, without any error message(like this process stopped responding).
I know this is independent of your audio tweaks.
But I have tried numerous times, yet i can't get this game working on my device.Please help !!
nice i try v3 and worked amazing but now il try to test v4 and apparently part2 went offline, can reupload please?
Nice work!
The HD i bought had already installed a 2.2 sense in magdlr. It is fast and stable.
Im willing to change and i tried miui 2.3 in sd. Worked ok but suffered sometimes apps made it slow, showing me the chinese guy with the turtle a lot.
After this i tried tostidroid with ics v9.0. Loved ics. Apex launcher, everything. Hated the performance.
Changed to tostidroid 10.0. Usable but not for everyday use.
Now, all the questions:
1. Is having ics on this phone, with nice performance, a real possibility? Or should i just stay at 2.2, 2.3 roms?
2. When changing version of tosti from 9 to 10, i deleted the entire folder and did all the setup. Is that the right way to do it or there is a way to just "upgrade a build?
3. When looking to improve performance in tosti, tried to overclock the phone with rom control. Phone reset itself or freezes. So i should rule it out? Should i try overclocking to lower values?
4. Could my sd be the one to blame for poor rom performance?
5. During all this time i left my sense 2.2 in magdlr as a fallback. Should i just backup this rom and flash a new one directly to the internal memory?
Your thoughts?
We`re not going to have a fast ics without lags,unless if someone can port full hardware accelleration for ics in our device
im running the latest tostidroid on the NAND with dorimanx 5.6 kernel
I dont really notice any lags, only in the browser when using multiple tabs but using dolphin solves this
full HWA would be sweet but it is not really a dealbreaker
Ιn some point you are right.Ιcs is fast or even faster from gingerbread if the app you use doesnt need hw acceleration.For example in ics launcher i have lag but i havent it if i use zeam launcher.Same for default ics dialer.If i use dialer one there is no lag.Αlso i think that it scrolls better in some programms.for example in k-9 mail
So, trying so me replacements might work? I noticed the facebook app is almost unusable, mobile versión works ok. I love apex launcher, maybe should try nova? Da, twitter, baconreader seem fine. Widgets i only use simicalendar and clock. Was cable ti overclock a bit the phone and so dar looking good.

Hi there,
I recently rooted my NST, and my battery life is terrible when doing things the NST was not designed for (in my case, playing Pokemon Red ).
I have applied the tips suggested on other threads so I have frozen a whole load of apps using Titanium Backup (seemed better than to delete them). I keep Wifi off whenever I have no need for it (e.g. when playing Pokemon).
My problem comes when I want to limit the CPU. I want to be able to set the max CPU clock. I use the OC kernel (the one by guevor, number 174) because:
- stock doesn't have multitouch
- stock doesn't support fastmode2
The apps that I have already tried are:
- AntutuCPUFree
- NoFrillsCPU
- setCPU for Root Users
- RomToolbox Lite
- CPU for Root Users
- CPU Control Lite
Is there a reason why none of these apps let me max the CPU?
Could this be a hardware problem? I have also tried all these apps on stock kernel as well, and it didn't work again.

Hello folks.
I will soon have an S5 in my possession. I've never owned a Samsung phone before, so my first question is - should I stick w/ the stock ROM (I understand the most recent version for this phone is 6.0.1), or should I install a custom? Are there any serious drawbacks with the stock ROM (bloatware, etc)? What improvements would I see with a custom ROM?
Thanks.

Hi,
it really depends of what are you looking for. If you want to get the latest features and updates, go Custom.
if you only use your phone to make calls, take nice photos, Games, etc. Stay in Original, although, you have some Debloated 6.0.1 ROMs that do the work just fine.
Cheers,
My S5 is the Sprint (G900P, Snapdragon) variety. Is there a default/easiest root method? Is there a preferred recovery to use?
Thanks.
Way to go is custom ROM, and that mostly due to bloatware.
ROM, root, recovery are personal choices dependent of your wishes/needs.
And S5 is rich with choices. For some reason, I was/am happy with stock ROM.
So I see a lot of reading in your future...
I am owning the GS5 for 1.5 year or so, and I can't remember how many times I have returned back to stock after 2-3 days of custom. I don't know why, I am just a random user who is using phone for social media and calls. Rarely playing any games but any ROM I tried it had some problems which I couldn't keep.
Performance and feature --> go with custom ROM. Have a good adventure..!
Stability and battery life --> always.. stock ROM

Easiest with Magisk. TWRP recovery recommended.
ive got the tmobile version and love the thing. im on lineage 14.1 and its stable as crap. can use the sd card as adptive storage and that opens alot of room up.

what is the best stock rom for battery life and performance?

Best stock..? Stock is stock lol. Anyway, I'm using Boeffla Kernel on stock ROM and did the following things to get better battery life without actually compromising my phone:
1. In Boeffla Config under CPU I set the maximum clock speed to 1728 MHz, selected "Optimized" as Hotplug profile, selected "Aggressive" as Multicore powersave and selected "undervolt -75mV" as UV Profile.
2. In Boeffla Config under GPU I set the minimum clock speed to 27 MHz.
3. I've bought and installed Amplify (needs Xposed to work) and have limited the following wakelocks all to 600 seconds:
- GCoreFlp
- *net_scheduker*
- Wakeful StateMachine: GeofencerStateMachine
- LocationManagerService
- SyncLoopWakeLock
- Icing
- NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock
- NlpWakeLock
- NetworkStats
- StartingAlertService
- GpsLocationProvider
- AudioIn
- NlpCollectorWakeLock
**Under 'Alarms' I've limited the following alarm: com.android.internal.telephony.data-stall again to 600 seconds.
4. I've bought and installed Greenify and have the following apps set to automatically hibernate on screen-off:
- Blackmart
- Instagram
- Facebook Lite
- Peel Remote
- Spotify
- Video Player (stock one)
- Notes (stock one)
**The selected mode is 'Root + Boost (Xposed)', 'Automatic hibernation' is ticked, 'Extras for Geek' is also ticked, everything under 'Xposed based options' is also ticked and 'Wake-up Tracking and Cut-off' is also allowed.
5. Other than that I have Auto-Sync off unless phone is charging (using Tasker for this), WiFi at home, Bluetooth on only when I need it, GPS on power saving unless I need it on high accuracy (again, Tasker), no power saving mode activated, mobile data is set to 2G/3G mode (no 4G as I don't need it anyway, YouTube is fine on 3G so it's enough for me), Screen Rotation is on, Smart Stay is on, Multi Window is on, Increased sensitivity is on. I also have my 5 most used apps always open in RAM (Telegram, Whatsapp, Poweramp, Gallery-not stock one, Facebook Messenger Lite).
I'm still testing but the phone feels significantly cooler than before and I think battery life is actually noticably better than before, yet the phone works as it should (I don't play games or run super heavy apps).

Hi there!
I broke my main phone, so nexus my daily driver again. And I was wondering what firmware is the fastest for now. Is android pie usable?
So i did some tests, maybe someone will be interested. I don't pretend that these tests are ideal, maybe they should have been done differently. I just share the results with you. So this is 3 points: 1 - antutu benchmark total score, CPU and GPU scores (not for all). 2 - time (in seconds) of cold start apps, there are google maps, opera, youtube. 3 - just my impressions of surfing UI.
Every time I set up phone the same (as new device, update only essential google services). All ROMs are last version (on post date) and tested with Francos Kernel.
Stock google firmware 7.1.1 - 1. Antutu total score 87218, CPU - 28808, GPU - 15845. 2. G maps - 7, Opera - 4.5, Youtube - 2.6 3. Working perfect.
Pure Nexus 7.1.2 - 1. Antutu total score 78437 2. G maps - 11.5, Opera - 7, Youtube - 5.5. 3. lags a little, not critical.
Lineage 15 8.1 - 1. Antutu total score 89129, CPU - 34635, GPU - 15803. 2. G maps - 8.2, Opera - 5.7, Youtube - 3.3. 3. Pretty fast almost like stock.
Lineage 16 9 - 1. Antutu total score 51110, CPU - 12170, GPU - 11277. 2. G maps - 8.5, Opera - 6.4, Youtube - 4.7. 3. Extremely lagging and freezing
Carbon 9 - 1. Antutu total score 85854, CPU - 29425, GPU - 15917. 2. G maps - 13.2, Opera - 7.8, Youtube - 5.3. 3. Lagging, but much better then Lineage 16
So I stopped at Lineage 15, I installed all my apps e.t.c. and for now - 1. Antutu - 102262. CPU - 44223 GPU - 15747. 2. G maps - 8.9. Opera - 5.6, Youtube -4.2. 3. start lagging a little, but usable.
Hope someone thought it was interesting. I apologize if I made mistakes, English isn't my native language, but I'm trying

I guess something is wrong with your test, as Carbon 9 uses Lineage's sources for shamu. So the score should be about the same.
How long did you wait after the flash? Was the device in thermal throtteling mode?
Edit:
Oh I just read, that you use Franco Kernel which isn't meant to be used on Lineage as it is outdated as hell.
Leaving Antutu scores aside, what i feel for my experience, is that Pure Nexus 7.1.2 still the most faster N6 rom.
