I installed the driver, rebooted and was wondering if anyone was having problems with the app loading? Whenever I launch it it shows the loading screen, goes to "saving settings", and closes. It doesn't force close it just closes. Task Manager does't say it's running. Tried to clear data but theres no data to be cleared. Even tried pushing to /system and it still closed.

Samsung Epic 4g @ 1.4ghz

[EDIT] Strangely enough nightmode still works, as long as I create a shortcut. How can I uninstall the driver withoug opening the app?
[Android Software Development] bitmaster2000:
I just did and it seems to have resolved the issue. I guess it was something left behind from old ****. Updated my post.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] jody2k:
anyone got dungeon defenders to work with SGS2? even with the new update today, the game just closes

----------------------------

Update: managed to running the game until now =>

instructions that worked for me:

- Remove the previous installed game

- Uninstall chainfire 3D (otherwise it will download the tegra 2 version and we all know that this version isn't compatible with SGS2)

- Download the game via market, let it do the install

Sadly enough the game doesnt support the current chainfire 3D :( tried it with the 3 plugins (qualcomm, powervr and nvidia)

graphics seems to be equal to the Nvidia tegra 2 version of the game

any suggestions or methods for running the game with chainfire 3D would be welcome!

[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
How about not using any plugin for it? :)
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Dude,why use a plugin for a game that works ok for your device?Just wonderin' here.

So,remove any plugins from the games settings in CF3D and run normally.Only thing is that it lags a bit with 16X MSAA on the GS2,but anyway,looks very good without it too.
[Android Software Development] jody2k:
Tried that, gives graphical glitches and closes down ... :/

Edit: Ok, reinstalling chainfire 3D program fixed the problem, seems like it had some issues with the new rom I installed

ignore my previous post

grtz
[Android Software Development] dickie2007:
FWIW, I just unistalled DD:FW, reinstalled it all through the Market and re-downloaded all the files leaving CF3D selected as NVidia and it worked fine...

Dickie.
[Android Software Development] jody2k:
Yes, strange thing I think it was a conflict between the chainfire driver and the new rom I installed, sorry for the mistake
[Android Software Development] bubblewhop:
I envy you, I havn't be able to finish the tutorial once. FC every time. Chainfire3D is set to default (buyed version), so there's no tegra logo at the game's splash screen. If the nvidia plugin is enabled a tegra icon appears and I have some graphic errors. That's why I think there are no different versions, the game decides at start time what to do.
[Android Software Development] Jamalsid:
I think you are wrong, there are different versions. If you goto http://dungeondefenders.com/androidmobile you will see there are three separate data pack downloads depending on the chipset you have, qualcomm, tegra 2 or anything else. There is no point using chainfire 3d to play this game as so far the tegra version doesn't work.

I used to play this on my Galaxy S well before Chainfire released his app. It has always been very buggy on my phone. It lags a lot when the action gets going and there where frequent crashes to desktop. It only ever ran well when I overclocked my phone.
[Android Software Development] bubblewhop:
Ok. I don't plan to use the tegra plugin. I only mentioned it, because of the different splash screens (with and without tegra logo). If I have downloaded a Tegra only version from the market due to the market fix, I don't understand, why it's running in non-tegra mode (without tegra logo) when chainfire3d settings are set to default. I would expect an error message (your device has no tegra chip).

Anyway, I will download the pack manually from your link and report afterwards. Thanks for the link.
[Android Software Development] a user:
you are correct. the one from the market is NOT a tegra only version. it will only use tegra specific stuff if it detects a tegra device. i could run it without problems on my DHD when i didn't sued the nvidia plugin and i saw the difference when i activated the plugin.
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
It does play ****ty on the DHD though.Its gameplay is also ****ty on the Galaxy S II,but the Desire HD's one is something else!The game must be really buggy/poorly coded/something bad anyway,because both phones run games with better graphics quality(ie more demanding for the GPU) with no problems,especially the GS2.Whatever,I can also play riptide and GOF2. :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] a user:
well, can't say much how well the game plays after the first 5min. never did ;)

but looking at the description i understand that there will apear many minions all rendered in 3d with quite impressive graphics. i may understood this wrong but if so then GoF2 is nothing compared to this! and riptide is quite a small child beside it too.

but i should check it out myself sometime.
[Android Software Development] dickie2007:
I have the Tegra version playing flawlessly on mine, looks nice with 16x MSAA and 24bit textures as well... although im not really into it, not my type of game, i prefer the traditional style tower defence games...

CF3D was set up with DD:FW using Nvidia from before the update, so i left it as that, unistalled DD:FW, made sure the SD files were deleted, then started from scratch from market and downloaded the files within the game... CF3D picked up from before, so DD:FW was still set as Nvidia throughout... no issues at all, apart from a very hot left thumb lol :rolleyes:

Dickie
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Meh,I don't think it's that demanding.Have you played GOF2?The graphics are absolutely stunning,especially thinking it's a game meant for phones.Dungeon Defenders on the other hand looks more childish.Not too much detail in it.Might be me though.
[Android Software Development] a user:
yes i did. and i must say even the start room of DD is more graphics demanding than the whole GoF game.

don't get fooled by beauty! gof is a space simulation. most of its graphics are either very small 3d-models (hence only a few polygons needed) or flat particals.

also regarding light effects and shadow etc (if at all) and shader effects for materials are far less needed for a game like GoF2. no i would bet DD is 10x more demanding in regards of graphics than GoF2.

EDIT: consider this: in gof2 when you fly/fight you have a handfull of spacecrafts made out of polygons + some partical and light effects. that's all.

in DD you have some more figueres and characters there that also are animated (flashing lights from spacecrafts i don't count as animation) + a whole room with decorating objects and different materials etc.
[Android Software Development] Jamalsid:
What phone was that on?
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Well,you may be right,but DD looks more like Samurai II to me. :p

Anyway,doesn't matter who's right.Fact is that the game needs some tweaking to be addictively playable.Until then,Riptide GP here I come! :D

Also,a user,now that I see you here,could you drop a line to LeeDroid?He seems to be hearing you more than me,and I haven't been in the Desire HD dev section for more than 5mins the last month,since I got my Galaxy S II.He should make his voltage thingy(vdd_levels) available for tweaking with SetCPU.I used ninphetamine kernel on the Galaxy and it's pretty convenient(Although I was first amazed by Tegrak Ultimate on that matter).Should make things easier. :)

[Android Software Development] zk9:
Hi all,

I just buy the chainfire3d pro v2.8 in the Google market. And then downloading the attachment on 3rd post put the zip at the root folder of my uSD but when install it from install cf3d driver menu An error pop up.it says error could not write to /system.

Then i tried to download the plugins from http://www.multiupload.com/ extract it and put the 3 file of LIBGLEMU_XXX.ZIP at the root folder of my uSD but when install it from the install cf3d driver menu An error pop up.it says error could not write to /system.

So i would like to ask how to install the 3cfd driver and how to install the plugins? Are they mean the same thing?

PS: i have a Nookcolor system with cyanogen nightlybuild 134 on the SD (verygreen methods)

Tank you
[Android Software Development] a user:
good idea. i will pm him this. but he seems currently to be very occupied. he has a big todo list ;)

btw. are you happy with the S2?
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Good old Lee.Always busy.How does that dude manage everything?

Well,I'll be checking out the DHD section when I have enough time.

As for the S2...Well,I am happy,that's for sure.I could be happier though.Battery life could be better,but that's my fault as I haven't taken the time to properly update to 2.3.4 where problems are fixed.Not that I complain,but I'd expect it to be better than the DHD,being 1650mAh and all.Too early for me to say though.Other than that,I really miss sometimes that heavy,sturdy feeling of the DHD you are accustomed to.That,and Sense.For some reason I cannot be as comfortable with anything else.But the phone's raw power is something else.Smooth,fast,powerful,all in one.It's a true beast and sometimes craps all over the DHD in terms of performance.Yes,even my 1.8GHz DHD.

Why are you asking though?Considering to buy one?I'm asking out of curiosity. :)
[Android Software Development] a user:
not considering to buy anything till next year. but i am allways interested in such things. as long as my dhd can handle everything include tegra 2 games i do not see a point in spending so much money for a wanna-be-upgrade.

thanks for your responds!

i personally do not care about sense, i even do not use anything beside the dialer and the sense 3 lockscreen. i hate rosie :D using adw ex.
[Android Software Development] bubblewhop:
If you mean the Chainfire3D-API-v1.0.zip, it's development stuff, you don't need it.

The CF3D driver is included in the market app. Start the app, jump to the CF3D driver menu and install the driver.

After reboot you start the app again, jump to the install plugins/shaders menu and install the 3 plugins.

The reason for your error message is prolly missing superuser rights. Start superuser and check if chainfire3d has sufficient rights.
[Android Software Development] zk9:
Thank you for the explantion. Already check the superuser, and the chainfire is on the list of allowed apps. And trying to forget the chainfire apps then give it a superuser again... still that same error appear when i try to install the driver..
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Then you'd be happy with the S2.Not that it can run anything the DHD can't,it just runs everything faster. ;)

Anyway,I wanted to buy a tablet,that's why I had saved money.But I was so disappointed with Tegra 2's performance on tabs that I changed my mind and bought the S2 instead.I guess quad-core tablets will do. :cool:
[Android Software Development] bubblewhop:
Then try to remount /system read/writable before you install it. Eg with a shell app or adb (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system). Or you use root explorer.
[Android Software Development] zk9:
Tank you, It's work like a charm. :D now i could install the driver. Time to download and play some games..
[Android Software Development] a user:
i guess so. s2 would be my choice if i had to buy now a phone. although the upcoming htc kingdom seems to be awsome.

but i do not need now a new one nor do i have the cash for it ;)
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
I feel ya pal. ;)

Anyway,sorry for off-topic guys! :)
[Android Software Development] Dany0:
guys I can't enable MSAA or depth buffer, even though I installed the EGL driver.

[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Are you sure you're trying to enable them in per-app settings and not in default opengl settings?
[Android Software Development] crypticc:
I can confirm that dungeon defender in non tegra mode has lower quality bitmaps. I can also confirm that switching to tegra mode without uninstalling gives massive graphical problems. The market app looks identical and gives tegra logo even without uninstall.

Still force close and its buggy as hell regardless of tegra or not. However gotten further into game than ever before in both modes. E.g. interact with shop keeper. Bam.

Galaxy on fire 2

hi fellas, some dude got galaxy on fire 2 working using chainfire 3d on his galaxy s2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmqgfTOESBU

but when i try to load it with the bought version, the screen stays black blank and i can just hear the audio the game has :S anyone has it working on galaxy s2?
[Android Software Development] rkaplan2:
I also have it working on my Galaxy S2. Read other posts within this thread, it's explained pretty clearly. Make sure you have the plugins installed, use nVidia plugin for GOF2 THD. Make sure you're running a ROM with 2.3.4 flashed to your phone. KG1 kernel or later fixes the graphics issues that we previously had with GOF2 THD + CF3D.
[Android Software Development] omar.abbas:
i have all the drivers installed and they do work for other games that require nvidia.. but maybe as you said its because im still using KF2. is updating to 2.3.4 a must to get this working??

NEVERMIND, got it working :) and guys NOVA 2 is out for galaxy s2 :D
[Android Software Development] bakewelluk:
How long did you try waiting when you heard the sound but didn't see video? I found that on 2.3.3 I had to wait for around 30 seconds with the game doing exactly what you described, and then it would load up. It would then work mostly fine, with a few graphical glitches, and upgrading to 2.3.4 got rid of these completely.
[Android Software Development] rkaplan2:
As bakewelluk said, this is probably what you experienced. It took a while for the menu to pop up, and even when it did, there were some pretty annoying glitches. Loading times were terrible and you'd never even see the "Loading" screen. But 2.3.4 contains driver updates for the SGS2's GPU, and this fixes just about everything to do with GOF2 THD.

And if you ever experience these issues again, you don't need to reflash your ROM or anything. Just reinstall the plugins; for some reason it's as if the game re-glitches itself and you have to redo the plugins step.
[Android Software Development] avathor:
I installed it on my Creative Ziio 10". Android 2.2.1

My Ziio is rooted. i installed driver without problems.

Any ideas why it dnot work on ziio `?

ATRIX RUNNING 2.3.4

If i rotate to landscape the screen is normal, if i refresh in portrait the default launcher is ok while notification bar still distorted. Other launchers even refreshing still like the pic. Portrait is ok after reboot till i rotate to land... could be related with moto rotate-animation?

Many of us have this problem, we must uninstall your driver to solve. But your app is a must :(

Has anybody ever measured how big overhead is when plugins are not in use and all features are off? I mean when you installed driver and run a games which works without it.
[Android Software Development] ghost77:
Did you load Nvidia tegra plugin ?
[Android Software Development] Abhi_UK:
Yes before the game was saying "unsupported device" and only tegra devices work but after I installed and loaded the nvidia plugin file the game works but the apple is white.
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Try uninstalling the plugins and then reinstalling them.I had similar issues with GOF2(well,not an apple but anyway :p ) and this solved it.

Is it possible to implement a function for disabling and enabling the 60 fps limit on Galaxy S2? Because in some Benchmarks the Galaxy S2 could get much better results without this limit.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
I have tried extensively, but didn't find the fix... I may still find it in the future, but right now, I don't know how.
[Android Software Development] dickie2007:
Chainfire,

Is there any further development being dont to CF3D or has it reached the end of the road for now??

Also, has anyone on SGS2 2.3.4 had any issues with Riptide?? Since the upgrade (with full wipe) i've not been able to run it without shader issues... if i have no shader installed, it just goes to a black screen and quits... with the shaders i get no images on screen except the initial orange background, then i get ''Touch to start'' and the water but nothing above it... if i leave it to run the demo its as if its having massive shader issues!! black rider and everythings messed up except for the water...

Any ideas anyone??

EDIT: sorted, for some reason i had to reinstall the already installed Nvidia plugin, then i had to change Riptide to somehing other than Nvidia and back again to sort it... weird...

Cheers

Dickie.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Development is still being done, but I wouldn't expect an updated version for a while. Very soon I'll be on vacation for a month(!), I have some other projects I want to release, various other projects need updates as well. Aside from that, I'm also moving (possibly to a different country and all that goes with that), selling my company, finding investments for a new one, looking for a job.

And aside from all those things that are life, there are some specific issues I know OEMs are working on, so I'm not sure whether I should spend time fixing them sooner (they are quite complicated issues to fix, btw), and a fair number of device-specific problems I've spent over a 100 hours on already but still haven't figured out the fix :)

The next update could be next week, or it could be September. I'm a busy busy person, and I don't make any promises in that regard.
[Android Software Development] dickie2007:
Many thanks for the update! Good luck with everything you have coming up!

chainfire, any fixes for gb atrix screen bug issue?
[Android Software Development] elucid:
I'm on the Droid Charge and have the CF3D installed with nvidia driver.

It seems like all the games in the Tegra Zone are still not available when I go to the market (even after doing the market fix). I was able to download Dungeon defenders HD, but it wouldn't run after it got done downloading all the extra junk. I tried to install Riptide, but the market won't let me download.

Am I doing something wrong. Is there a game known to work so I can try it out?
[Android Software Development] SaschaHa:
Thank yoo for the fast reply! :)

And I've another question in order to use the Galaxy S2 as a mobile computer... Could it be possible the device to render/output a Full HD signal via HDMI (MHL) not only when showing media content? Usually only videos are outputted in Full HD, all other content is only shown in the device's resolution (800x480) as a clone of the internal screen.

It would be great to scroll in 1920x1080 through the web or to play games like Angry Birds in Full HD on my Samsung TV ;-)

I know, that there is such a mod for the HTC Evo: Use your EVO as a "Desktop PC", Now With CM7 Goodness!!! and Full HDMI Mirroring for Evo 4g

I think that could be realized by a driver, so I thought, you are the right	contact person for such a mod ;-)

But for now: Thank you for your great work and good luck with everything you have to do in your real life :-)
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
Dude,it's a freakin' phone.What do you expect it to do?Alright,it is very powerful and all,but even many PCs struggle with Full HD.The Evo wasn't running in HD either!
[Android Software Development] SaschaHa:
At least it is powerful enough for playing Full HD Videos, so it should be possible to show web pages and other 2D stuff in Full HD. The iPhone 4 has a resolution greater than a quarter of Full HD and can handle it without any problems. The CPU power of the Galaxy S2 is 3 times greater and the GPU is about 5 times faster. I think, for the most stuff like web surfing or typing messages or writing emails that should be enough.
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
I never said it CAN'T do it,it's just too much.You'll strain it too much with Full HD.Something like 720p ought to be enough,but still,it is not a full-fledged PC.
[Android Software Development] Warrimonk:
normal?

Is it normal to have my SGS2 crash and reboot when installing all shaders/plugins? Sorry if it has been answered already.
[Android Software Development] SaschaHa:
Yes your're right, Full HD strains the phone, but I don't think that it is too much. Tablets have a much more resolution than smartphones and they have mostly the same SoCs. They don't have Full HD displays yet but still a high resolution (720p). The next step is 1080p and I think, for dual-core devices it is easily to handle this resolution without beeing extremly strained.

But to agree with you: 720p would be great too. Such a driver mod would be enough and would get the Galaxy S2 a big step forward to a real desktop computer ;)

I had the same problem after re-installing the driver, but now I've no problems. I think, it's not abnormal (is that the right word?) ;)
