Interesting. I'll test a few more cars and post links to any cars I get working.

Maybe now more people will start making mods for GTA III mobile.

I'll also do some surfing on the iPhone forums and see how much luck they are having with modding if they are at all.

They were lucky. I found a german Tutorial how to mod gta iii on iPhone.
It's very similar to android modding. Just the path and files are different. (No Jailbrak needed).

Sorry for doublepost ... ._.

Is there a way to edit the skin. of characters? I've looked online for GTA3 modding but the files are stored differently (I guess) than they are here.

ive tried a few cars and most worked great, some had rendering issues that i think may be related to the wheel mod(in that it doesnt work as is). ive also tried the Frosted Winter full mod. using the full mod with some file renaming i got it to load and play(had the winter skin to the environment, new car colors/textures, charachter skin, hud skin and a new island) however attempting any mission would cause a freeze on the splash screen. if anyone knows where GTA III android stores mission files please let me know

sorry, no links or pics yet. xda insists i post more first

What do you mean with mission files? The missions are scripted as OP Code in the main.scm.

    Hey Guys!

    1. Prolog

    I found a way to Mod GTA III for Android. Ok, I didn't find a new way. It's the same way as the computer with some little indirrection. Befor I start telling you how to Mod GTA III on Android, I want to warn you.

    2. Caution!

    There are several problems ( other file names, missing dff or txd...).

    1. The Mobile gta3.img, which is called gta3_unc.img has got 3859. 11 fewer than the Orginal gta3.img. The vehicles are used from the oldveh_unc.img.

    2. The filenames of the IMG files can be various. On my SGSII the are called gta3_unc.img and oldveh_unc.img. But i already saw filenames like: gta3_ptr.img, gta3_atr.img (the same for oldveh_xxx.img)

    3. Many people got problems with GTA III (crashes after Loading, or other problems).

    4. If you Mod your GTA you may get more problems.
    Example: I tested a new Pumpgun on PC. After installation I tried. Works fine.
    The same on Mobile. If i press the button for shotting, the game crashes.

    5. Dont install 1234567890 at one time or you wont know which mod causes problems and crashes.

    6. There are TXD files that can't be opened with TXD viewer applications, because of unknown problems.​


    3. Installation

    If you want to add new Cars, you need to replace the .dff and .txd within oldveh_unc.img.

    If you want to Chance Buldings txd's replace the files within gta3_unc.img.

    Befor you Mod anything, make a backup of all files or you have to delete files and have to re-download them.


    Now let's start with modding.

    Step 1:
    Download IMG Tool 2.0.
    Download the Mod : For an example I use Pegeot 306 Mexican Taxi to replace the Taxi.

    Step 2:
    Connect your Smartphone to your Computer. Browse to your internal SD-Card e.g.: Computer\GT-I9100\Phone\Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\models. Copy oldveh_unc.dir and oldveh_unc.img to the desktop.

    Step 3:
    Open oldveh_unc.img with IMG Tool 2.0 and replace taxi.dff and taxi.txd.
    After this, rebuild the archive with: Commands -> Rebuild Archive.

    Step 4:
    Exit IMG Tool and copy oldveh_unc.dir and oldveh_unc.img to e.g.: Computer\GT-I9100\Phone\Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\models.

    Step 5:
    Copy handling.cfg from e.g.: Computer\GT-I9100\Phone\Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\data to your desktop.

    Step 6:
    Open handling.cfg with a Texteditor. Replace the lines in the handling.cfg with the one from the readme file.

    Step 7:
    Copy handling.cfg to e.g.: Computer\GT-I9100\Phone\Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3\data.

    Step 8:
    Start GTA III and have fun ( if it works :D )​


    4. FAQ

    Q: When I start GTA III i get a black screen.
    A1: Minimize GTA III and then return into the game.
    A2: Kill GTA III process with Task-Manager and restart GTA III.

    Q: GTA III freezes at the loadingscreen.
    A: The Mod you installed won*t work on Android. Install your backups.

    Q: I get this error Message when i try to open oldveh_unc.img:
    Unable to find oldveh_unc.dir
    A: If you try to open a file that is on your mobile phone, your computer copies that file into a temp directory. He only copies the .img, not the .dir file. Repeat Step 2 above.

    Q: The game is very laggy.
    A: Try deleting the Audio files. Don't forget to backup.

    My working car mods

    O.K., here's something for you to download and try out. This works flawlessly on my SGS1, but don't forget to backup your original files in case something goes wrong!

    Simply unzip one of the attached files to /sdcard, the files will be unzipped to their respective directories. Mind that this is for the US/International version, you might have to move the /data and /models directory if you are e.g. running the German version (because of the /com.rockstar.gta3ger dir).
    If your phone has a gpu different from the PowerVR, you'll have to rename the files oldveh_pvr.img and oldveh_pvr.dir according to the original ones on your device. I can't guarantee this'll work, though. I doubt there are any differences, but you never know...

    Notes:
    - This is the final version, unless I have to fix a gamebreaking bug (like the wrong Infernus settings in an earlier version). This is taking too much time, and I'm quite satisfied with its actual state.

    - I've encountered nasty texture glitches (v2.2-2.4). These seem to be related to the size of oldveh_pvr.img (original size:9.75 MB). Up to 20-21 MB, everything's fine. Above 24 MB, the game is unplayable because trees, streets and buildings become invisible; v2.4 wasn't too bad, but every now and then, street and/or building textures disappeared. So I decided to throw out the Skoda Octavia (>3 MB in size) and replaced it with a BMW 325i instead. Nicer car, smaller size, overall size of oldveh_pvr.img is now 20.4 MB, and there are no glitches (tested & for sure this time).

    - GTA 3 seems to spawn black cars whenever it stumbles across wrong/unsupported color combinations. I tried to rule them all out, cars are looking colorful enough now.

    - many mods appear to be incompatible with the Android port (game gets stuck on the loading screen), but in most cases this is an issue with the non-existent wheel mod. Change the conflicting wheel ID in default.ide to something between 161 and 167 (I've used 164), and they should run.
    Example:
    101, infernus, infernus, car, INFERNUS, INFERNS, executive, 10, 7, 0, 164, 0.7
    In some cases, however, like the BMW Z8 and Z4, textures are messed up; I guess there's not much you can do about that.


    This zip includes a collection of 15 working car models. I post the whole list (taken from default.ide in order of appearance) in case you want to add some more without overwriting any:

    Well,first off I'm glad it works without lag on my Nexus S,next I think I'll be testing what kind of polycount is reasonable/car so that the game doesn't lag.Don't think it's depending too much on ram or cpu power,since on pc it was more about the game engine limits.

    The filenames can be different. On my Galaxy S 2 the filenames are oldveh_unc, gta3_unc fixedveh_unc.

    To install a new car you have to replace the dff and txd inside oldveh_dxt.img.
