Hi Chainfire,

What's the best phone to use your driver on?

How well would it work on the Xperia Play?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
I develop on SGS2, but regularly test on SGS1 and HD2. So it probably works best on those, but should still work on all the others :)
[Android Software Development] moneyrain:
4.1.1 updated from market :)
[Android Software Development] nscxp2005:
ok. Thanks Chainfire.

All the best,

Really would like shaders for Hardwood Solitaire 4.

Can anyone help?
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
I'm still not sure what is going on with Solitaire, not even sure it is even a shader issue. It is weird, though. But to be honest have not looked into it.

Some games mentioned in this thread as still not working will require either my shader recompiler (Unreal Engine games) and/or an additional EGL driver. If the latter comes out, at least at the start it will be SGS2 only (just FYI), because it is also likely to cause your device to not boot.
[Android Software Development] oleost:
Do have an an ETA for the shader recompiler to the SGS2? 1week, 2week or 4 weeks?
[Android Software Development] DeeDroid:
No, 2.5.x.x seems to be the newest for the Desire. But never mind, I'm finally "s-off". I had problems with two other apps because of s-on, so i got pissed on enough to take the risk of playing with the bootloader and now it works.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Not really... and actually "recompiler" is too big a word... "fixer" would be better. It attempts to fix some obvious problems, and will never be a substitute for properly written shaders (I'm looking at you, game developers!).

I'm very much in the trial and error stage with that at the moment :) These things are really, really, complicated.

Though probably 2 weeks is more likely than 4. Don't hold me to that though ;)
[Android Software Development] oleost:
Of course not :)

It just nice to know when to maybe expect the update.

Love the work you do for the device, but its to bad that you have to do it. It should not be necessary.
[Android Software Development] coincoinlapin:
Amazing dev, amazing app, amazing phone. Yup, I'm one satisfied customer.
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
But imagine how bored I would be if it wasn't ? :)

Besides, it's not like this is news. I've been using smartphones (and coding for them) for more years than most, and every single device I've ever owned had major issues in one area or another.
[Android Software Development] skibadee:
Hey guys and Chainfire. You prob already know this but i just found new feature in tegrak that forces 267mhz for gpu. Asphalt 6 runs so much better! :)
[Android Software Development] TheMathMan:
Do you need the shader dump or do you have one.
[Android Software Development] Majin101:
hey chain, did u remove it from the market? i can't find it anymore
[Android Software Development] Chainfire:
Nope, it's still there ... maybe Market is just being a female dog again.
[Android Software Development] jody2k:
It runs better indeed, but it should run far much smoother on this phone ;) not a hardware prob though, just crappy gamedev

as for chainfire good job really looking forward for the shader fixes!
[Android Software Development] scoobykanye:
hi are there any shaders/settings that will allow riptide to run on hd2?
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
does it work with hd2 SD roms?
[Android Software Development] maneken25:
Working perfectly with most of sd builds hd2. Games run smooth and stable.
[Android Software Development] maneken25:
Riptide works on htc hd2 with nvidia plugin, if you have gfx issue try to use Desire version shader also and see how it goes.
[Android Software Development] rumsey:
so if I want to speed up opengl apps on my HD2, do I want this, or the much older Turbo3D drivers?
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
then can you help me here? i couldnt manage to install it.. what am i doing wrong?

New Galaxy on Fire 2 THD (https://market.android.com/details?id=net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2THD) + last pro version of CF3D + "Reduce texture quality" = GoF2 working on Samsung Galaxy S. Great work, Chainfire!
[Android Software Development] armanisafarai:
can someone fix Galaxy on Fire 2 thd shader and steering calibration for samsung galaxy s 2?

btw the steering calibration so weird, when you tilt your phone to left the plain goes down and tilt to right it goes up and tilt up plain goes left and tilt down plain goes right :S

And shader shouldnt be a big prob as its not that bad atm, only some colors dissappears sometimes and comes back.

Galaxy on Fire 2 THD runs pretty well on the Desire HD. No graphical issues so far. In some cutscenes framerate was low, but gameplay is smooth.
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
Can somebody please tell me why i cant install the cf3d driver? I even tried older versions after trying the 2.0 one, every time j install it reboots theb asks for "please install" as if i never installed.

It does not report any prob during the installation, i have desire dl v 3.3, and i really dont wanna change a rom since i have to for half a year and no bugs.

The rom is a sd build.

Any solutions?,

I tried reinstalling the app, and i do have access to system, it does write files to ot but still reports that its not installed.

Vtw long ago i resized the system from 320mb to 34x mb, all works fine so i dont see a problem with that.

Galaxy on Fire 2 - Nook Color - all textures white

Hi, Chainfire,

Your app is great (I got pro). I am trying to play Galaxy on Fire 2 on Nook Color (with latest CM7).

The framerate looks great, but all the textures are white. Is there anything I should be doing to see the textures?

Thanks.

Nook Color, CM7

[Android Software Development] Bec07:
BackStab is now working but only with reduced texture size.

The menus are pixelated and you can't see NPCs/characters or yourself in-game. Only shadows show up.

Will there be an option in future versions to reduce texture size to a % defined percent?

It was nothing... I had flashed a nightly, and the driver was't installed, but the market fix let me download it.

I reinstalled the drivers, and Space on Fire 2 is working great.
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
Hi Chainfire,

youre driver is not working for me, im at the first stage of installing cf3d, i have hd2 with an sd rom, desire dl 3.3; and after i click install, everything goes fine, and the reboot is fine.. but when i go to youre app, it asks me to "Please install"

over and over, there must be a problem reguarding the recognition of the driver or the installation itself.

i can prove that there is access to the /system since it does write the uninstall.so to the /system/lib which means it has access.

Hey Chainfire and generally anyone around here! :)

I have bought Chainfire3D pro a week ago and all's good,except for one thing.Asphalt 6.I don't know why all hell has broken loose with this game,but at the moment I am really frustrated.

So here goes.I bought the game on my Desire HD last week(together with Chainfire3D I think),I downloaded all the files it needs(514mb exactly),but when I ran it it wouldn't play.The download took a little over 20 minutes,so no refund from market.I tried reinstalling the app,deleting and redownloading the files,clearing app data,but no joy.I thought I'd try it on my Galaxy S 2,but realized that market wouldn't show it.Fixing market with Chainfire3D while using plugins(all of them) didn't work.

What should I do?Gameloft isn't responding to my e-mails either,so I'm here thinking I gave my money for nothing. :(

Any help appreciated guys! :)

[Android Software Development] KSTu:
how to unistall if i see only black screen?
[Android Software Development] tolis626:
If that's the case,I think Chainfire provides a way to uninstall the CF3D driver from withing CWM.At least do you have clockwork?If not,maybe there is a slight chance you're screwed.Not that your device is bricked or something,but you may have to reflash a stock rom via Odin and then reroot,re-flash a rom and install everything from scratch.

Take what I've said with a pinch of salt though.I'm fairly new to Samsung devices(I just went through my first week with my SGS2,yay! :D ) and most of my experience is with HTC devices.I don't think I'm wrong however.Sorry. :(
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
Request from cf3d users,

everyone please listen,

if you got the cf3d working on your phone, i would be glad if you upload the files of the driver since it doesnt install for everyone who loads android from sd card, so we need to copy them manually i guess...

thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] Andreal:
Well, I ran into bootloop while installing Chainfire driver today. Now I can tell this: Do not install driver when you have active game process :P
[Android Software Development] Rixsta:
Oh I thought you just meant in the app not the whole phone ...

I guess you will have to re flash a rom using odin ....well thats what I would do ....I bought chainfire3d and it worked fine on my SGS 2 ....
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
anyone knows here how does chainfire decides whether the driver is installed or not?

it still says "please install" to me after i have all the GLES in the /system/lib are replaced..
[Android Software Development] Stu308:
How do you uninstall this and plugins completly from rom?

I tried to use it but doesnt seem to work with anything I have tried (riptide,asphalt 6 etc).

or do I have to do factory reset and reflash rom?

Cheers.
[Android Software Development] eeeeeee:
you run the uninstall_cf3d.sh inside /system/lib
[Android Software Development] chizzwhizz:
GOF2 needs shader

Galaxy on Fire 2 THD version will require shaders as well. I just got it from the market and tried to play with just the NVIDIA plugin but all I hear is game music but the screen is black...
[Android Software Development] Stu308:
Run it with what? When I use astro it just says "file type sh not found" when I press it.
[Android Software Development] mortuus.x:
Sit tight for a bit when it starts. It might even complain about it not responding. Click wait. It will eventually start going. I just played the first bit on my captivate. Worked well.
[Android Software Development] nscxp2005:
Hi mate,

You have to use the terminal app, then type su (this will give you root access) navigate to /system/lib like this:

cd /system/lib

Then type this:

sh uninstall_cf3d.sh

That will start the uninstaller.

I hope this helps your problem.

All the best,

I also confirm that galaxy on fire 2 works on SG2, I takes a little time to boot up but after that everything runs silky smooth ^^
[Android Software Development] Bec07:
I can confirm it works on SGS1 too but with 16bit textures.

Also the smoke (not fog) doesn't display right, only black rectangles.

Can somebody please fix the smoke shaders?
[Android Software Development] y0.o!:
Fixed! :)

Hi chainfire, great work and thanks for your efforts.

I'm having a problem installing the driver on my sgs2. I downloaded your paid app and hit the option install and I get "Error, could not extract assets" I also get this when I try install through CWM.

I did a search and you talk about using adb to get a log file, I can't for the life of me get adb to work properly in windows 7... man I hate that OS lol... I think I'll go back to XP tbh!.

Anyway, what else can I do to grab the error file for you to have a look at it to help me install the driver.

Thanks.

EDIT: I remounted the system folder with root explorer and tried to install the driver and it didn't work. Also I have root fyi.

EDIT 2: I went into recovery and selected fix permissions and that seem to do the trick. I selected it by accident as I have no idea what it does lol... maybe some one could explain it to me?
[Android Software Development] oleost:

There are some shader problems with the Galaxy S 2. The stars randomly disappear as well as the smoke effects in the sky which can be kinda annoying other than that it runs smoothly. Hopefully a shader fix will be available soon enough :)
[Android Software Development] Stitch!:
Galaxy on fire 2 run smooth with unfolded textures, and my phone is underclocked to 800mhz and undervolted. Really tegra 2 is a joke. Just need to fix the shaders for this game and all will be good!

Anyway mailing gameloft won't do it ^^ strange thing that market fix doesn't work, is the program installed with the right permissions?

Edit: If nothing worked, try a stock rom or the villain rom, as I personaly have good expercience with the villain (most stable in my eyes)
[Android Software Development] Dany0:
Is there some magic this app can do? Can you make support for custom shaders applicable everywhere that would for example add some bump mapping?

[Android Software Development] xdaShex:
is there a reason why the plugin zip file contains 2 "nvidia" files ? do i zip both up before installing ?
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
why did you even unzip the plugin file? you're just supposed to put the ZIP file in the root of your memory card and then install in Chainfire3d

Apparently I'm the only one having trouble with Asphalt 6.I know there is a version for the GS2 available on their site,but I've already bought the market version on my DHD with no success to date.And I'm not ready to throw away more money on Gameloft either.

So,as no one seems to be able to help,would someone with a Galaxy S 2 be so kind to upload the files that are stored on the SD card for the game?Not the apk itself,I have it,I'm not asking for warez.Just the files on the SD.

Thanks! :)

I would love to see a HEX color chooser instead of rgb for the nightmode. Its really hard to know what you are setting when there is no box to type it in manually. Just the sliders.

Another day wasted on trying to get Unreal Engine games to work properly cross-device. Frankly, monitoring all the GPU calls made, I'm surprised they work on any device at all.
[Android Software Development] Bec07:
This would make no sense. The night mode uses pure sub-pixel colors to shut down 2 out of 3 subpixels.

The rgb sliders is already there. but i dont know what color im setting. would be nice with some more control. I love nightmode =) Or ill just go with green who works great on sgs.1

For brightness I think it's default but you can use night mode set to custom and lowering all three sliders at desired value but don't go too low or you can't go back from black screen as it starts at kernel level when you reboot
