Let me give you some advice nobody gives a **** specially considering this is a abandoned app and doesn't work on ICS+
[Android Software Development] dailyuse17:
You mean, chainfire 3d is not compatible with ics?
[Android Software Development] bbrad:
No that's why I'm giving you a hard time is says in the app description in the market and the op its not compatible with anything above gb
[Android Software Development] cuezaireekaa:
it semi-works with ics but its not supported. but it DOES NOT work with JB.

and THIS is from my experience. MSAA and tegra2 plugins worked fine with my ics rom.

EDIT: i may be mistaken. i honestly dont even remember that far back. but i think it may only work on GB correctly. anyway time to move on...

Does it work on micromax a110 running ics ?
[Android Software Development] Dj_Fex:
on gb it should work fine

but on later versions (ics+jb) it doesn't work correctly because the developer chainfire has written it for gb first and then stopped working on it because in ics and later a lot of changes have been made so that it would be a lot of work to rewrite it completely

some parts maybe still work but no one can guarantee that (just read it in another post)

of course there are still a lot of people including me that want to have antialiasing and night mode and things like that again (but first I would need a new phone, my arc s by sony ericsson is probably too slow and just supports AA 4)

Help... accidentally installed on my S4

This has been accidentally installed (Chainfire3D) on my SGS4 AT&T 1337 MF3 - Now it is stuck on boot. Anyway to remove it?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] A_U:
u need to enter into recovery mode and factory reset the phone..

and if u r rooted and using custom recovery software, wipe the data..

in both cases u will lose all ur data at the cost of booting ur phone again.
[Android Software Development] Dj_Fex:
if you have no backup to install (always make backups before something like this happens!)

you have to reset your phone

but before:

if you have a recovery installed you can still make a nandroid backup of your boot-looping phone

this way you can restore important apps with the app Titanium Backup later (from the nandroid backup)

costs around 5 bucks, depends on how important your data is to you (if you haven't bought it already :D )

should work, but I can't guarantee you anything

and in the future: always read the root app`s descriptions and always make a backup

before

using it!
[Android Software Development] sincity:
I rooted my cell prior to the MF3 and used GooManager, then AT&T pushed OTA MF3. Lost root... used another method to regain ROOT. At that point I couldn't get into recovery. Now no recovery exist for me. I was hoping on ODIN. But no updates as of yet.

Going to try ADB and delete the APK file... or just wait for the release at this point. I don't want to further mess up my phone with a permanent Brick and end up with a $500 paper weright.

It's sad to see this app has been abandoned, I'd love to see it works on 4.1+ and willing to donate. I'm sick of nVidia's lies and bullsh*ts... an Exynos 5 or S600/S4 Pro/S800 would smoke Tegra 4 in performance and yet those can't be running games with amazing effects because of nVidia buys off the developers!
[Android Software Development] Terr20114:
If you have a custom recovery you should have made a backup before u did. You can just boot into recovery and wipe the device on a stock recovery to fix the problem. If it's custom try reflashing your rom without wiping your data first.

[Android Software Development] shak3800:
Hi guys . I just wanted to ask something, probably a noobish question .

I have an htc desire z device, about 1ghz and 512mb ram using miui gingerbread .

My question is now that I have installed the egl driver, and the only options for msaa are automatic and 4x, will msaa always be used for games? Because that would affect the speed of gameplay if msaa is always enabled since before installing it msaa was not used for games. I'm only interested in getting the fastest gameplay so do I have to uninstall the egl driver to stop msaa from being used?

And lastly what is the purpose of the plugins? Can the plugins offer more smooth gameplay or just make the device compatible with games that weren't compatible before ?
[Android Software Development] Dj_Fex:
The plugins

won't

allow you to see games that work only on nvidia devices in the play store

they will allow you to play games which have been developed for nvidia cards only (as far as I know they will replace certain instructions which only tegra chips understand with general instructions for your chip, in general chainfire only replaces the os instructions before they get to the graphics cards, night mode also only uses something like color filters): only compatibility and no smoother games by plugins

there is a fix for the market included in the beta that should fix this but pls

don't

use it!!!!!! The app is already pretty old and we are all using the play store and not the android market anymore so you can't use it or you may get a lot of problems cause it isn't compatible with the play store

(and if you are still using the android market: don't use it even in this case pls!)

you can make the market believe that you are using a compatible device for such apps by changing certain things in the build.prop -> look that up first and inform yourself

your graphic card seems to support only msaa 4x

so chainfire can't make use of something like 16x

it won't be used all the time, because you can only use this settings for certain apps not for all (as far as I remember (1-2 years ago...), you have to configure it for certain apps manually

I don't think you need to uninstall the driver but it won't hurt I think

if you use smaller textures then this can include stuff like game menus too

it's just useful for 3d gametextures if your device can't render the normal (bigger) ones smooth enough

but it will end up in a bad quality of course

you have to decide whether you want strange graphics or not

PS: sry if I answered questions you have removed from your entry already :) (I looked them up in my email and didn't notice until now :) )
[Android Software Development] shak3800:
Thanks a lot my friend for your time.

Unfortunately I tried the fix market settings, I think I have an issue that it doesn't show my installed apps for one reason. Don't know if it is because of chainfire.

Right now i'm not using any plugins, so since i'm using QUALCOMM the best would be to use NVidia plugins to support a bigger variety of games I suppose? Anyone knows a game that is only for NVidia ? pvr or QUALCOMM to test it ?

Anyhow the thing with msaa it only has two options , automatic (the app decides) and 4x msaa . So I was wondering , will msaa be always used in this case since the automatic option is enabled ? (my guess is automatic refers to 4x or 16x when the latter is available) . Shouldn't there be an option to turn off msaa?

I have download an application FPS Meter which displays the fps when playing games.When playing subway surfers , I have tried a lot of options, with or without egl driver (which enables the msaa) , reduce texture quality or not , reduce texture size and really the difference in fps is not that big I would expect. I'm only using per-app configuration

I get about 2 or 3 more fps when using chainfire3d reduce texture quality with egl driver than when not using it . I would expect a difference of 7-10 fps.

Honestly I don't care about bad graphics just want fast and smooth gameplay for games like subway surfers ;)
[Android Software Development] Dj_Fex:
I you have used the "market fix" it's already too late

I hope you have a nandroid backup or can flash another rom/wipe your rom

I think it's related to the completely incompatible chainfire fix

in general: since the app's development stopped long ago you should not use it anymore

and as it was programmed only tegra in generation one existed so it is pretty unlikely that new tegra games will work on it

and I'm pretty sure that new games are

no

tegra only games anymore so the plugins won't help

I would suggest you to uninstall everything/even better: flash your last nandroid backup without it

chainfire is likely to cause problems nowadays because it got incompatible with android 4 and higher

chainfire didn't want to update it because android 4 changed to much about graphic drivers and stuff

and the only reason it is still in the store is probably for older devices or chainfire himself wants more money (but I really don't think so)

things like the night mode still work and some people may are using it still, I don't know

but for making your device run games smoother, it's no ideal solution anymore

msaa is only for games who aren't using it by default even though your devcie supports it

and like with nvidia or ati drivers on your pc you can force apps to "use" it

normally there should be an option to disable it

but I'm not sure, really it was a year ago when I used it the last time

all in all: if your games aren't running smoothly -> just buy a new device with better hardware

maybe it's also your rom which is filled with bloatware

then you could try a fast custom rom with a custom kernel

there are lots of them out there and you are on xda, so...

good luck with your phone ;) (I really hope for you that you can fix the market issue with a backup or flash/wipe)
[Android Software Development] cuezaireekaa:
well said.

I would also like to add that aosp 4.2 and above, allows you to enable 4x multi scene anti aliasing (aka MSAA) in open gl games through the "'developer settings", in case someone was looking to use chainfire3d for that reason.
[Android Software Development] dinos3:

it cannot work correctly with Android 4+, because there where big changes in Android and the developer (Chainfire) stopped working on it for that reason
[Android Software Development] Prack:
I wonder though if something similar could be done through Xposed Framework.
[Android Software Development] Dj_Fex:
probably yes

it could be done with xposed and without

it's just so, that there is noone who wants to do it...

but do you really need it on newer devices

I don't think so

btw. did you know that you can enforce Antialiasing in the developer settings of cyanogenmod by now?

(atleast on Kitkat/CM11 on my Galaxy S I9000)

of course Chainfire 3d had more options

but most of these options where made to optimize performance on old devices

but too small textures look crappy, not always make the game run smoother and sometimes cause errors (in the menu)

night mode and stuff like that can be replaced

my Samsung Galaxy S runs CM11 Mackay Rom and has such color settings inbuild into the settings app

and I don't know whether you can still write plugins to emulate a certain gpu type and whether that still matters

all in all: no one really needs it anymore

antialiasing and stuff has to be included into the game by the app developers
[Android Software Development] Prack:
Yes it would still be useful, plenty of "THD tegra only versions" That would run fine on my device with the tegra plugin.

Oldish thread

"[APP][SHARE]GLTools:-Chainfire 3D Alternative for 4.1+"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2604723

Maybe, possibly, an alternative to Chainfire 3d, installed ok on my jellybean rom, but make nand backup just incase if anyone decides to give it a shot, and read up

Apparently issues with some samsung devices, installed on mine before reading this but luckily it seems not ALL samsung devices, knocks on wood

The proper way to unistall is to use a recovery to flash the zip that gets installed upon install of the app

edit: it looks like the playstore version has a uninstal option in app, dont know if the xda version has it, should do

The "official" thread has a free version, and there is a payed version on the playstore, if this project is something you want to support, assuming it does what you want, think about donating if you can, but free is good too :)

btw all the other optons make riptide force close :S
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
You have no idea whether or not I have any interest. In fact, I always have and still do.

The issue is that the method of hooking used by the old CF3D (and now GLTools, as I understand it) is extremely dangerous, and a massive cause of bootloops (as some of you have experienced) - that and that nightmode now had to work significantly different (but now covered with the new version of CF.lumen).

This didn't use to be a problem because OEMs didn't diverge much on their base drivers, so it wasn't difficult to write a single patch that worked on most devices, but around 3.x this became difficult and errorprone (also because no source for 3.x back then).

Building something like CF3D is not possible with Xposed (I wouldn't run that on my device anyway, as last I checked it breaks a lot of internal security measures in Android), though it might be possible with Substrate - and that is what I betted on over a year ago. However, both due to lack of time and Substrate not working on 4.4, I have not done anything.

By now I've given up on that approach as well, but I have since devised a new one, that might make CF3D properly possible again (at least 4.2+, maybe even 4.4+). However, now GLTools has just shown up and is slowly taking over the market, so I'm not sure I should even bother, as I personally have no use for CF3D outside of CF.lumen, so I'd be building it mostly for props and profit, neither of which really drive me.

Either way, statements such as that I've shown no interest or haven't done any work on this are quite frankly a **** move, you have no idea what I'm working on or thinking at any given moment.
[Android Software Development] Prack:
I never meant to offend, one can only assume that you haven't shown interest due to the lack of updates to the app and comments/posts on this thread. If you are done with the app then have a mod lock it. No need to get offended, I am a huge fan of the app and just wish it could have been updated. Nothing else, this is no personal attack on you or the app.

Once again, sorry it came out like that, please don't take my passion for the app as being a **** move.

hello. is chainfire 3d discontinued?

if so then remove the app from play store because many users having bootloop issue by chainfire 3d.
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
I totally understand the lack of time.

I suspect that, unlike Qualcomm and etc, you might consider opening the source code if you do decide it's obsolete? I personally would really enjoy seeing just how you intercept the GL calls even if it is dangerous to the operating system. Have a 3d stereo device I'd like to change some stuff up on.

Tried the free version on my msm7627 with 4.4.3, the problem hits just after the library is loaded

and there it loops. Blank screen no bootanimation. But it loads ok up to there.

Nothing odd in dmesg at all.

I'm not expecting this log to matter, since you're short on time and motivation to extend this app right now, but had it ready to paste before looking in the thread. Figured I might as well post it.

As far as the money, I and others would contribute some. I'm cheap, but if you get tons of cheap people together and a few real contributors, it might be worth your time.
