Anyone else getting this? Using Revolution Rom + siyah kernel.
I downloaded the game over 3g.
Hlaaap!
*Edit* 3g download was the culprit. Downloaded a second time over wifi. All good now.

I wasn't. Then I tried with it. No luck. Must be a download pb. I will start again when I have wifi tonight.

You have to remember that it isn't an officially supported device so there is no promise that it will work.

That's not what I heard (Engadget news and market comments)...that's why I bought it on the market (if it's there, it's compatible, right?)

I assumed too that being on the market it is compatible. I'll download it over wifi in a few hours after work.

Rockstar made a mistake with the compatibility part, it'll show compatible with even LG GT540 :D

However, Galaxy S2 is OK and is working fine. Just uninstall all, reboot, reinstall and use WiFi to download the files. DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN at any point, unless it's impossible to continue (e.g. "Touch screen to continue", and even then press it only once.). When the gameplay starts, it'll work fine.

Works for me with no plugin loaded in chainfire3d. I had to download the data twice because first time it would hang when loading, this is when I tried all the plugins in chainfire3d and none would get past a black screen. I deleted the data (com.rockstar.gta3 folder) from android/data then downloaded it again and it worked. Im on villain by the way. Good luck.

I haven't touched anything. All other games work fine. From the main Gta thread one guy with the same setup has the same pb, while another dude has it working. I bet it was a dl pb. Will check tonigjt.

The first screen takes a while to display the cinematic intro, so give it some time. It'll display Rockstar games and stuff after a few seconds.

Not Working

While my game starts up fine with the Rockstar Cine coming up immediately, I still can't play the bloody game!!
The game starts.
I goto Start Game -> New Game
And this is where the problem occurs. The loading bar goes till 80-85% and then freezes there.

Do you think the Download is an issue (I used Wi-Fi @ 2Mbps. Dled in appx 20-25mins)!
I could really use some help here, guys! :(

Man, I just can't get this thing to work. I'm such a GTA fan.. And not being able to find a way to get the game to work is getting to my nerves. Isn't there nobody who can solve or atleast answer as to why this keeps happening?
