Very recently, Grand Theft Auto modding community got to discover that the newly ported GTA III for smart phones can be modified on Android devices. Just like the original PC version, GTA III makes use of the same filestructure on the mobile version.
Few mods already available and most of them come straight from the PC version of the game. Players can enhance their graphics display, allow your character to throw really hard punches and replace game models and textures for cars and buildings. You can also edit the elasticity and range of fire (of each weapon) as well as a traffic light. Be sure to see a lot more mods coming soon.
Here's how you can modify your GTA III game on your Android:
Note: If you have Chainfire 3D installed on your device, you will need to uninstall it so it does not go in conflict when you tweak the game. Be sure to save a backup copy of the original directory so you don't lose anything important.
Some iPhone 4S owners reported that they also had some success with modding their game.
