Unofficial native Android port of Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360 version) built through static recompilation. No emulator in between.

Free Port Vulkan + Turnip Snapdragon Only Experimental

Android Open World Action Port / Recompilation Adreno GPU

LibertyRecompAndroid is an unofficial Android port of Liberty Recompiled, the static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. It runs the recompiled game natively on arm64 Android phones and handhelds that have a Snapdragon (Adreno) GPU, using Vulkan through a bundled Mesa Turnip driver.

The Android port is developed by vaduur and is a fork of the Liberty Recompiled project by OZORDI and contributors. It was tested mainly on a Retroid Pocket 5 (Snapdragon 865 / Adreno 650).

Key Features

Native ARM64 Execution

The recompiled game runs directly on your phone with no emulator layer between the game and the hardware.

Vulkan with Bundled Turnip

Uses Vulkan 1.2 through a bundled Mesa Turnip driver for Adreno GPUs. You can also import your own driver .zip from the launcher.

720p with FXAA

Renders at the console's native 720p with FXAA. Your display scales the picture to the panel.

30 FPS with VSync

Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS. Most areas hold 30, while heavy far views such as bridges and the night skyline can drop to about 25 to 29 FPS.

On-Screen Xbox Gamepad

A translucent Xbox 360 controller appears when no gamepad is connected, and hides itself as soon as you connect one.

Built-in Launcher

Install the game from inside the app, pick your Vulkan driver, and view crash reports with a Share report button.

Audio Works

Radio, cutscenes and Bink videos play with sound. Saves persist across launches.

Handheld Friendly

Built-in controls on gaming handhelds such as Retroid, AYN Odin and AYANEO work in Xbox mode.

How to Install

Download and install the APK

Get the LibertyRecompAndroid APK from the GitHub Releases page (Server 2), then install it and open the app. It opens on a launcher screen.

Prepare your own game files

You need your own Xbox 360 GTA IV disc image as an .iso (USA NTSC-U release is the verified one) and Title Update 8 version 0.0.8.5. The PAL title update is rejected.

Choose the files in the Game panel

In the launcher's Game panel, pick your disc image and the Title Update 8 file. The app asks once for All files access. On older versions, copy both files into Android/data/com.libertyrecomp/files/install/ instead.

Press Install

Wait for the progress bar to finish. The installed game takes about 7 GB, and you need roughly 15 GB free in total while installing.

Press Play

Connect an XInput gamepad for the best experience, or use the on-screen controller. If the game closes on start, use the crash report card in the launcher and check the GitHub Issues page.

Device Requirements

GPU	Qualcomm Adreno 6xx or 7xx (Snapdragon). Adreno 8xx is experimental and needs an imported Turnip driver.
SoC	Snapdragon 865 class or faster recommended (865, 870, 888, 8 Gen 1/2/3)
CPU	arm64 with ARMv8.2-A. ARMv8.0 chips such as Snapdragon 835 crash on start.
Android	Android 10 (API 29) or newer, 64-bit
RAM	8 GB recommended. 6 GB is untested.
Storage	About 7 GB for the installed game, about 15 GB free in total during install
Controller	XInput (Xbox layout) gamepad strongly recommended
Not Supported	ARM Mali / Immortalis, Samsung Xclipse, PowerVR and any non-Adreno GPU

Known Issues

Occasional crashes to the home screen still happen, so save often.

The in-game installer's Select File and Select Folder buttons do not work on Android. Use the launcher or the app's install folder instead.

One deferred light-volume shader is skipped because it hangs the GPU under Turnip, so a few light volumes are missing.

The episodes (The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony) and online multiplayer have not been tested on Android.

Traffic and pedestrian density are reduced to 40% of the PC defaults to save CPU time.
