[APP][2.2+] GTA3 Graphical Settings + Launcher [v1.4]

---

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/show...4&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.
