Possible Fix For GTA SA Android Has Stopped Working Error


Sponsored Links



You may have faced "Unfortunately, GTA SA has stopped working" error in your Android phones after installing a mod or mod pack in GTA San Andreas Android. This is really annoying error because nobody knows the exact reason of this error. Yesterday, I faced the same error and after some research I was able to fix this error. This is usually caused because of mismatching of GPU. All phones have GPU like we have graphics cards in our desktops. So your mobile should have a gpu which should be supported by the mod or mod pack. Today, I will tell you a detailed guide on how to fix this error.

Before You Start

This guide may or may not work for you. This worked for me, thats why I am sharing it.
• You have to rename all the files present inside folders in "texdb" folder.
• To know the name of your GPU, you can use "CPU-Z" app (free in playstore). Open it and you can see your GPU name as shown in this pic:

Fix for "Unfortunately, GTA SA has stopped working error"

• After downloading the mod or mod pack (which is causing this error) you have to extract the mod (if it is in .zip or .rar).
• After extracting, you should see some files and folders.
• Now, we have to rename the files with your phone's GPU code. but before we do this, take a look at the table below:


# GPU    Code
1.   Adreno   dxt
2.   PowerVR   pvr
3.   Other GPU's   etc

Now keep this in mind that if you have Adreno GPU in your phone then rename the text highlighted in below pictures with "dxt". Similarly if you have PowerVR then rename to "pvr" and if you have any other GPU like Mali, Tegra or any other then rename to "etc".

So, lets begin the tutorial:
• Go to the location where you extracted the mod pack and you will see some files and folders. Go to "texdb" folder and you will see some more files and folders like this:

• We have to go to each of the folder inside "texdb" folder and rename the files there. So lets start renaming. First go to "gta3" folder and you will see some files (shown below).  Now you have to rename all the files which have been highlighted in the picture below (except ".txt" and ".unc.tmb" file).  You don't have to rename all the text. Just rename the code highlighted with your GPU's code. My GPU is PowerVR so I have added the text ".pvr." in all the three files. You have to replace the world ".pvr." with your GPU code. If your GPU code is not present in the table above then rename it with ".etc.".

• Now go to "txd" folder and rename its files with your GPU code.

• Similarly go to other folders (present inside texdb folder) and rename the three files with your GPU code. After renaming all, run the game. I hope the mod will work now.

If its not working then please do not post rude comments. Because I have already mentioned that the exact reason of this error is unknown. This worked for me that's why I shared it. This may be due to cleo, un-stable mod, some bugs in mod, old or latest game version and may be due to cleo.

  5. Actually, renaming is not the best way.
    It would bring some texture glitches.
    I think using txdfucker to convert it is best and keep all 3 types. I have removed the PVR and etc, and glitches start.
