Driver revision - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I was wondering if anybody with a G3 can let me know what are the gpu drivers on the device; best way to check is with apps like antutu>device info and scroll to the gpu section it should mention something about OpenGL ES 3.0(unless it changed) and then [email protected](if updated will have higher numbers) which is the revision the g2 has on kk currently
Thanks in advance, enjoy your day/night

[INFO] ICS with full functional camera

Hi guys!Started new thread cause don't want to post it in every ICS ROM thread.Here is link legend's CM9 rom with almost full functional camera.Hope this will help.
But.... we have ICS with working camera.

awesome! is it possible to port ?
lol, they have everything working (stable) for their Legend. They are lucky !
Can't we take some fixes (Bluetooth, Wifi and so on...) from their build or from CM9 ?
Legend is ARMv6 too .. they say they have : 24) Hw Acceleration (Stock Gallery, Live Wallpapers, Video, Youtube, Google Maps App, etc.). Could that be made for the hero also or Legend has GPU ?

I'm sorry but it is not ARMv6. It is ARM11.
Specs as per gsmarena:
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227
CPU 600 MHz ARM 11
GPU Adreno 200
So, no! HW accel is running for them because they have the hacked drivers from Qualcomm which are released and working only with Adreno200. We have Adreno160. No HW accel!

I posted it only to mention everybodys attention on camera,we already have video and panoramic mode working on armv6(ARM 11 is armv6),also HTC wildfire(not S) has working video and panormic mode too,its MSM 7225,vfp but without GPU

And what about Bluetooth, Wifi and others tweaks ?
borice,
nope, their bt and wifi fixes most likely wont help you guys. other tweaks they uses (as long as they pertain to fixes that are universal across phones) could possibly be used though, such as build.prop entries, etc.
also im downloading that legend rom right now to see if i cant get it working for heroc, if it works for heroc then it will most likely work for hero gsm.
I tried to get camcorder working on our camera driver, but it crashed whenever I tried to record something. I don't think that the problem lies in tha camera. It's rather the same reason that YouTube doesn't work and so on.
yup no love on heroc with the legend stuff
stritfajt,
thanks for your continued work on this. does the camcorder use gpu/hw acceleration while trying to record? im wondering if the reason legend got camcorder going because they have the adreno200 libs and a real gpu instead of our situation. please bare with me, im talking out of my rear end. i have no clue the code that makes cam/camcorder tick.
also, figured i'd tell you again, you are awesome. :good:

Then how is it working on wildfire,which has NO GPU?
i thought there were 2 different wildfires, one with gpu and one sans gpu? wildfire s has adreno 200, and im not sure about the regular one.
by the way, did anyone seem to notice that buzz has working youtube? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344
im pretty sure the buzz is the wildfire without gpu, i downloaded the rom and upon initial glance see nothing to do with adreno 200
edit: currently harvesting the crap out of libs from buzz to see if i cant get youtube working, wouldnt that be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, but dont get hopes up
edit 2: (best one by far on my part) boys and girls, YOUTUBE IS GO. I REPEAT, YOUTUBE IS GO!
ill upload the libs and build.prop from the buzz to take entries from, sweet jeebus its really happening!
edit 3: zip is attached, i included a copy of the youtube apk, i havnt tried one from the market as i just installed aokp and forgot to flash gapps, also build.prop from my aokp heroc is attached with relevant entries
if anyone decides to include this, please give all credit to erwinp at the buzz forums, he fixed it, not i
Is it a flashable fix?
hero/heroc flashable zip added, go ahead and flash it (after nandroid backup if your worried about losing anything) and see if it works for you
youtube apk is not in this zip, so install it from market
also gles from buzz is included, im not sure if it will work with our hacked up 1.1 gles, ill see about that and get back to you guys

Enable GPU rendering?

Hey, how do I disable cpu rendering in the stock 4.3 rom for the FLO? I am rooted and everything and know alot about android. I know its possible for every android device and using GPU for rendering the UI will increase performance greatly. Does anyone know how or is there a kernel/mod that i can flash?

It's in the settings under the dev options. My question is, How slow is your N7 running that you think you need to do this?

[10.03][XPOSED FIX] Samsung DVFS Disabler! - Take the full power of gs4

STOP! THIS MOD IS ONLY FOR SAMSUNG ROM! NOT WORKING ON ASOP, CM OR OTHER SINCE THESE ROM NOT NEEDED IT!​
Hello folks,
finally after 1 month of research, tests and sleepless nights i have made a fix for the cpu cap problem caused by crappy samsung's DVFS system.
For people who don't know what is DVFS please refer wikipedia.
In short terms: samsung added this system to boost benchamark like antutu and he tells us that in KK the system was trashed so benchmark result are not falsified. THIS IS NOT REAL AT ALL!!!
I have discovered after a lot of time that samsung has added DVFS system in other way, more in kernel but disabling it in kernel is not enought! Rom controls the DVFS system!
THE PROBLEM
After heavy playing games for 5/10 minutes the performance became very very low! Game starts to lag a lot and in few minutes became not really playable! The phone is quite hot in the upper part but not really really hot! Exiting game can fix the problem but not always. Only a complete reboot can fix completely the problem!
So i have decide to investigate and i have installed app like KtMonitor (included in kt kernel) or perfmon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933284) and i have noticed a very strange thing!!!
When game starts for the first time the cpu speed is max at 1890mhz
After a while the cpu goes to 1458mhz and stays at this freq for a while
After some minutes it scales down to 1242, then to 1134, then to 1026 then to 918 mhz!!!
*When 1134 mhz is reached gpu goes down to 304 mhz and when cpu is at 1026 freq the gpu is at 128/200
In this way the game is not playable anymore!
The only way to see again values upper 1242/1458 is to reboot or wait a long time.
THE SOLUTION
The solution is to disable DVFS system from changing cpu and gpu freq table!
After that DVFS is completely disabled! Kernel can handle totally the power of cpu so the up/down scaling! Cpu and Gpu freq are not blocked anymore! The cpu and gpu are used based on tasks and not limited by crap samsung behaviour! Scores in benchmark now are real! In a nutshell phone will fly
WHAT YOU NEED
International galaxy s4 with root and Xposed Framework
Samsung DVFS Disabler
THE GUIDE
First of all make a nandroid backup!! I'm not responsable for any problem! You make this procedure at your risk!!!
Install Xposed Installer (http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk)
Install Xposed Framework through Xposed Installer App
Download Samsung DVFS Disabler
Enable it on the Xposed Installer modules
Reboot your device
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Phone will be very hot and drain battery during heavy session such as games but this isn't a problem. With @ktoonsez kernel i have set 90C for start throttle and 80C for end i can use the phone without burn my hands or burn it self but make attention!
This fix not delete thermal throttle! So the cpu and gpu can throttle without any problem and you can be use it on heavy tasks without fear!
Anyway I'm not responsable for any problem! You make this procedure at your risk!!!
IF YOU HAVE ISSUES
First of all follow the app thread here and then report in the app thread or here:
Rom (version also)
Kernel (version also)
Kernel settings (if available)
Bootlaoder version
Particular apps installed
Particular mod flashed
CREDITS
I have to say thank you to two wonderful devs here:
@ktoonsez since with his kernel i can find this bizzarre behaviour
@wanam and his ability with xposed framework! I have made a fix but it was too drastic LoL. With his xposed module the problem is fixed without touching any system files!!! Wonderful! Thank you very much my friend!
The last but not the least the app catLog! Only with this app i was able to find the real problem! The crappy samsung DVFS system!!!!
If you like my job, buy me a beer
Now....feedback, feedback and feedback!
V2: made an xposed module! all info here
------------------
V1: first relase
Just in case

During games session yes it could consume more battery since the cpu can be used at max without limitation.
Update on air view bug : I have find the problem guys but is not simple to fix since Samsung has added a lot of **** code in the jar file. I need time and better knowledge to clean it correctly but I want make this mod perfect so stay tuned and support me

HTC 10 Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 1.59GHz - Help

I am a newbie to this forum, not sure about things here.
your inputs on this would be highly appreciated.
I recently updated my HTC 10 to 7.0 and I see CPUZ where it shows the Processor i.e. 820 clocked at 1.59Ghz and 2 cores stopped. what could be the possible reason??
Posting the screenshot for further reference - UPDATE - I am not able to post a screenshot..
Snapdragon 820 uses the big.LITTLE architecture. Which means that the processor basically has two cluster. First cluster contains 2 cores which are low power cores, clocked at 1.6 GHz. These cores are used to carry out everyday tasks that do not require much resources. The other cluster has 2 High Performance cores, clocked at 2.2 GHz. These cores are only activated when needed. For example, while playing a game etc.
Hope this helps
I already updated my HTC 10 from 2.28.401.9 to 2.41.401.4 but have the same problem. First 2 cpu 1.59 and the other 2 stopped. Antutu and other benchmark show low points. Please I need help
It's due to SELinux changes in Android 7. If you change SELinux to permissive, then it will work again. Just "security changes" by Google.
Isn't it already answered?

[KERNEL][Kylessopen] FrankenKernel

FrankenKernel​This kernel is pieced from two beautiful kernels made by KlinkOnE and Codename13,hence the name Franken (shortend from Frankenstein)
I used Codename13's kernel_samsung_kylessopen as base ,and reused a huge number of KlinkOnE android_kernel_ba2x_2.0-1 commits,plus handfull of commits I think help.
This kernel is intended for Kylessopen devices,meaning its for S7560,S7560m,S7562,S7562L devices.
This kernel is compatible with CM11 and PAC-Rom 4.4.4
I will try to keep this kernel alive and running,
but to all users and devs,
please be aware that this is my first venture into "kernel-land" so some bugs are bound to show their ugly face.
DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120730785​*Change log
Kernel updated from 3.0.60 to 3.0.101
A lot of small fixes
If kernel breaks your phone dont blame me,I didnt force you to flash it.
Souce code to FrankenKernel is here:https://github.com/pavlepiramida/FrankenKernel/tree/master
FrankenKernel with GPU OC to 300Mhz
*This version has GPU set to 300MHz,and its compiled with gcc-4.4.3 like stock kernel is.
This gcc provides a bit better graphic performance,but is also a smidge worst when it comes to CPU performance.
Kernel features:
*3 I/O schedulers:
-Deadline
-Zen(default)
-CFQ
3 CPU governors:
-Ondemand
-Lulzacive
-Performance
GPU is clocked at default ~246MHz
Kernel block has been refreshed and updated a bit,ensuring a bit more optimal IO performance
Dynamic FSync feature
DDP Writeback
Latest kernel changelog:
*Disabled KSM
Most wouldnt agree with me on this,but the fact is that KSM is way too heavy on processor which also affects battery.
Kylessopen has enough memory,it doesnt need to squeeze every byte of ram at the cost of CPU performance,and in my opinion KSM isnt a vital function
*Changed few kernel flags
Just experimenting with flags,trying to find best one that can complement kernel even more
*Switch to a better gcc
@kengnatural and I spent a whole week testing and benchmarking different compiler for kernel,until we realized that sabermod-4.7 gcc brings the most out of our Kylessopen kernels.From now on using only SaberMod gcc.
