Anyone have this running on Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 with Faux 006b3? I'd like to flash but don't want to bootloop! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
signature verification failed

no idea why cant install

1: download the zip

2: move it to sdcard root

3: toggle signature verification

4: apply update.zip (cant find)

5: install zip from sdcard -> adreno_ics_.zip

6: signature verification failed

wtf?

[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Wow, 30.5 fps in Nenamark 2 before installing and 44.1 fps after installing -- OpenSensation. Maybe my previous score was a fluke, though.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Flash in recovery?
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Thanx for the feedback bro :)
[HTC Sensation] leorogue85:
Works with AOSP? As OpenSensation
[HTC Sensation] kevsteele:
You toggled signature verification to On. Try it again, be sure to toggle to Off.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Did u loot an eye problem in WoW? 2posts above you someone says he is running it on opensensation.
[HTC Sensation] Sisqo:
flash it through recovery.

played some games, they run like always, no lines or something.. quadrant a little better, over 2900 without 2d being checked in develop option, over 3000 when it's checked. using leedroid 7.3.0
[HTC Sensation] kevsteele:
Pretty simple - just flash the .zip in recovery.

The note about "toggle signature verification" just means be sure that signature verification is turned off - these are unsigned drivers. The option is in recovery (at least 4ext - sure its in cwm too).

After the install, you can run "fix permissions" from within recovery before rebooting. Don't know if it's absolutely necessary, but it certainly won't hurt anything. I did it just to be on the safe side.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Works on opensensation. My nenamark 2 scores went up by nearly 10.

[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Tried this out with Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 and Fauxs 6b4.

Using Antutu, my original score was around 6200. After flashing, it was around 4500. I noticed my RAM took a drop from ~1350 down to ~600.

No difference in 2D and 3D for me.

Seeing others' results though makes me think it's something with VI...idk.
[HTC Sensation] globalm:
Leedroid 7.3 with Bricked 1.1 - no difference.

Drivers already in there perhaps.
[HTC Sensation] osokrayzay:
Quadrant

Before: 1939

After : 3170

CoinDroid 1.50 default no over lock.
[HTC Sensation] AllAboutAndroids:
Nope...didn't help at all. Quadrant dropped from 2922 to 2712...I am disappoint...
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Hey guys I'm a little bit confused... I'm very happy with these new drivers but some pages behind I've seen "OrDroid_newGL" drivers with newer OpenGL ES 2.0 and don't know what to think... Which ones are newer and better? Perhaps ordroid's drivers are better performers but have stability issues... any help?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
On AOKP Milestone 5 my quadrant 2D scores went from 388 to 442 and my 3D scores went from 2250 to 2265.

So imo this package is worth the flash.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Should I include it in my ROMs? :)
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:

It was worth a test, thanks for your effort.

[HTC Sensation] El Pako87:
It would be great :) the strange thing is that when I do benchmark just after rebooting the phone I get around 3600, if I try to do it again I get 2700 over and over...CPU rating decrease of about 3000 points :confused: did someone experienced the same?

Anyway, seems that the phone is performing like before in usual context, also gaming...uh, Antutu gives me always the same scores (6600 or something more)

[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
ok retested in a proper way..using Nenamark 2 v2.2

-1350mhz PERFORMANCE governor GPU 300mhz, Running the bench 3 times at least..

With HTC stock Drivers(before i applied any update)

-40fps

With the OP post Drivers

-41.3fps

With the 218 GL drivers from CoinDroid

-43.9fps

also with the 218 GL drivers scrolling went UBER smooth..while the OP update did had no effect(for me) for scrolling either the GUI effects..:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Quantum_Sensation:
Asphalt 6 not compatible with sensation xe:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
Can you flash these drivers without using ordroid? also the OP is using the latest drivers from the Qualcomm Website and Sense 4 Port was meant for HTC One S which is using a new CPU but The same GPU as Adreno 220 With Doubled Frequency and renamed it to adreno 225

So wont These Drivers cause future problems as they were meant to a GPU with much higher clocking?
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Yes, you can use it on any ROM.
[HTC Sensation] mh7:
Thant is my screen shot before and after install Update drivers

Before

after

i think before was better :D
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
What i said has nothing to do with ROMs now

I asked if drivers that are meant to a different GPU will cause future problems to the HARDWARE
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
yep seeing your 2d and 3d scores..also do include the settings you were before you made the runs..

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

these driver files are for in GENERAL the adreno 2xx family GPU series..its more like a UNIVERSAL driver package for all gpu under the Adreno 2xx class..anyone find my statement wrong do correct me but as far as i udnerstand thats how the package means for me..
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
asphalt6

V1.0.8

I'm sure you can get it work with the lastest version:)
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Well to be fair, yes it did. I didn't know the answer to your second question, so you got one answer. No need to get defensive. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
I have to Disagree, If the update is meant for the Whole adreno 2xx family then how come it's not available in their website and the only available drivers are the ones the OP is posting which are now considered OUTDATED? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] kolos1:
May I ask by what such a result? Acceleration or optimization? How yato impact on battery power?
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:

[HTC Sensation] nonmindo:
OpenSensation is already using the 213 drivers
[HTC Sensation] yaron316:
is there a way i can uninstall this?
[HTC Sensation] nonmindo:
going to install the latest OpenSensation 5/5/12 Build2

will wipe Dalvik and Cache

Run Benchmarks as is, rebooting between each app / 2D toggled on/off

Then install the 213 from here and do the same

Then install the 218 from CoinDroid and do the same

Will update this post with Screen shots of each once completed

EDIT: that would be tooooo many pics, i'll just type out stats

Baseline Benchmarks

213 Driver From OP Benchmarks

218 Driver from CoinDroid Benchmarks

As you can see, at least with OpenSensation, the differences are pretty much negligible, "real world" usage tests will prolly give you the best idea of which you want to run with...

from my limited use after installing 218, I will say that scrolling does seem to be more fluid...but as far as the "numbers" are concerned, I'd say they are all pretty much the same
[HTC Sensation] akbisw:
it works nicely in benchmarks it seems. Will test out games
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
yeah, it's better with real life tests. benchmarks for me are not really reliable
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:

[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Yep i can confirm that too
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
So SKYPE support tells us true, that within new drivers video will work ok. So now how to push HTC to make an official update of drivers :( .. And continue in discussion with Skype to make their workaround because we could wait for HTC update forever... ..
[HTC Sensation] papete:
My results

ok, so I tested my base configuration (IC 5.1.4) and the results are:

Antutu, GLB 2.1.4 no change between all 3 drivers (base, OP-213 and 218 drivers).

The only changes can be seen in NenaMark2. It could be because the NenaMark2 test is more demanding in terms of shaders, dynamic lighting etc.

The results are:

Base: 45 FPS

OP-213: 46.5 FPS

218: 49.3 FPS

So not bad for the 218 drivers, giving almost 5 FPS improvement on average. I'll stick with the 218 after this results to see how it goes...

[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
hello,

i have a ARHD 6.6.3 with faux 6 beta6 release. just upgraded to last drivers on home, here are my conderations:

1) After upgrading, go to System Tuner Checking frequencies, couse it was downclocked strangely to 1,3 GHz... i don't know why (i saw some result with a real different score between before and after in Quadrant, and that explain why).

2) After restoring frequencies and after many many Quadrant Test after and before upgrade (to be more sure about result), it seem no relevant differeces in score (around 3.500 2d GPU forced on).

3)Real test is using many many GPU High stressing games like Riptile Gp or the heaviest of the moment: Real Racing 2. This last Games seem really very smooth and fast after upgrading, considering the polygons used and light effect, i can definitively say: Yes mike, you can put it in the next ROM!
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
Flashed this on ARHD... Works well it seems. Though at times phone seems laggier... Also has anyone got this working well on virtuous inquisition. Seems like the battery is draining faster too

so OrDroid GL 58.7 fps? thats extreme! i had 53.3 on earlier OrDroid version(sense 4 is abit heavier) but almost 60 is really impressive

almost on another level!

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

Here you can see One X gets 52 fps, but ofcourse is on a higher resolution, tho good results from our phone.

SIII(yes 3) gets exact same fps as you did, 58.7, again ofc on 720p
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
I know nothing about the scores really but what would explain why my phone without the addition of the ordroid file flashed gets 60.2??

sent from thy phone
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
i think ur testing NenaMark1 and not NenaMark2 cause its almost virtually impossible to get 60fps on NenaMark2 on our device,

also don't see it here http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2 so unless u show a screenshot with NenaMark2 60.2fps ill count it as Nenamark1, and nenamark1 gets almost 60fps on all phones.

if ur sure that u are using nenamark2 make a screenshot with version number like i added in thumbnail :p

sorry for the issues but, 60fps in NenaMark2 is not that simple ;)
[HTC Sensation] zcdg:
Skype is not green now, thanks. But quality of video in Skype on ICS is much much worse that it was on GB. I remember how good it was on GB. Or may be it is new version of Skype....
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
Before you even BENCH guys..set the governor to PERFORMANCE..so that CPU is always CLOCKED at the highest.. :facepalm: (gives the gpu the boost it needs prevents FLUKE results..)

it was mentioned before by faux123 and showp1984..to give a good head on comparison..else results are non-consistent and therefore unreliable.. :facepalm x2:
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
That is one way of looking at it. The only factor it leaves out is that I (and I assume a decent amount of other folks) will hardly ever/never use the Performance governor.

I'd rather have someone tell me their results with their own specific setup that is not necessarily set to max everything. In real situations (not sitting at home benchmarking) my device will always be set to badass on Bricked and intellidemand on Faux. So if someone is rocking Bricked with 2D GPU @ 266MHz and 3D GPU @ 300 and the results are great it may affect my setup.

Just my two cents :)
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
I don't have this problem man...
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
i hear you but as ADVISED for benching only..i am at the setting as you are in right now..i raised the 2d clocks and see if it helps the OP files..but to any dispute scores did not look good either..the Coindroid files are sure to be a winner for me..

Antutu Scores:

2D and 3D only and an average of 3 runs..Governor is PERF and max frequency is 1350mhz only..GPU is set to 300mhz 3D and 266mhz 2D..Force 2D GPU assist is OFF on dev option..

OP files:

2D 158

3D 1248

Coindroid Files:

I did not do any benchmarks, but from experience i can say my phone is just snappier than before. A good example would be the non mobile nytimes website, where i normally would get little hiccups, but since i installed this there are no more little lags. My sensation feels just like an iphone 4s.

Which is the latest official driver??? This one (213) or the 218??
[HTC Sensation] belblade:
i've tested both drivers on AOPK milestone 5 with latest faux kernel

Quadrant: marginal differences between 213 en 218 (checked or unchecked)

nenamark 2: hughe difference:

213 : average of about 38 (3 runs, after clean reboot)

218 : average of about 51,9 (3 runs after a clean reboot)

cpu @ 1512, governor at performance

if they don't cause any other problems, i'll keep em :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm quite sure that /system/etc/firmware folder content is obsolete, since leia_pfp_470.fw and leia_pm4_470.fw are 100% the same as on stock ICS Sensation ROM and other files doesn't seems to be important for HTC Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
now I'm confused..this driver is 213 and ordroid has 218?or the other way around?

which is the latest?

thanks!
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
OrDroid NewGL.zip has 218, which is higher then 213 so should be newer.

I love flash performance on GL 218 (stock browser)

OrDroid came with 218 from start, then got changed to 213 because of InstaGram not able to apply effects (the only bug i know on 218)
[HTC Sensation] one80oneday:
Anywhere to download 218 zip?

Not sure I need it, already getting 3600+ on aokp
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Well the thing is, quadrant is not a 3D benchmark and this thread is all about OpenGL ES actually so, it has no point to test Quadrant.

Read this i posted at amaze tread;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25786038&postcount=72

New gl can be found here which is 218 version, you should test NenaMark2 before and after.

Not quadrant! (my sensation gets higher 3d then One X on quadrant does not make sense, while NenaMark2 One X gets 53~ fps on higher resolution)

Hope everyone understands now, and read the post! btw its not only benchmark fps performance, those EGL drivers use everything (flash/for application use and more)

No problem, you can flash back and forth between this 213 or 218 (done it twice to compare), and if you want to go back the whole way, you can just reflash your ROM without clearing data, you'll be where you started off ;)
