Well, I installed it. Right off the bat I'm noticing a whole lot more hesitation on my phone. Especially in the transition animations. Sometimes for example, when a menu is supposed to fade away, it gets stuck half transparent for a second then disappears.

So far I'm thinking I'll be reverting this pretty quickly. Perhaps it just doesn't play nicely with Android 4.0.1?
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
ok so i got the 218 gl drivers and i have to say im impressed. im not sure about instagram cause i never use it... so fyi anybody using this patch you will not beable to use the instagram app until instagram updates there app to be compatible. also you can see what version by downloading opengles extentions from the market. this will tell you about your gpu pretty much. enjoy and plz let me kno your experiences.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
What ROM you using that your on 4.0.1. I noticed a little bit more smoothness. My menus just disappeared. Never faded away but they do fade on.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I'm not on a ROM you'll find in the dev section. I made my own out of the first ICS leak. None of the other ones are able to be fully de-sensed the easy way :(
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
heres my score with the 218gl patch.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
what patch did you use? are you sure.. maybe try reflashing.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I used the first one that you posted, near the bottom of the first page.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
give the new one a try let me kno after that
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
tried the latest one you posted (which did have more recent files inside it btw) and now everything seems back to normal. No more hesitation.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
awesome. glad it helped. yea these are the latest drivers from the port over of htc one x/s 218gl the only thing wrong is the instagram app isnt compatible yet. im sure it will be fixed soon. enjoy :) my phone is much more snappier. lovin it . also for anyone on ics dont use any cpu apps. waste of time.

I'm running on the Team PKMN VenoSaur 3.1.0 ROM after flashing the latest (3.14) RUU...
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
thanks for your post, i wonder what kernel your running, im gettin much higher scores but thats ok. another thing is, is when you turned on or off 2d rendering did you reset your phone first? and did you reset inbetween new patches? just wondering. we need more people testing. i guess it really dont matter but for now im keeping the latest patch i posted. its super smooth and fb and the internet loads incrediably faster with my 4gLTE :)))
[HTC Rezound] x70xchallengerx:
My kernel is:

3.0.16-gd0049f1

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 21 04:30:13 CST 2012

Baseband:

1.22.10.421r, 1.22.10.0424r

I'm on the new Team PKMN VenoSaur 3.1.0 ROM, can you recommend a better kernel, or can I even change kernels?
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
i suspect a stripped down rom is gonna be faster than a sense 4 rom.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
actually the newest leak 5/7 is incredibly easy to de-sense, if you de-odex it first, or just use scotts pre de-odexed/rooted version. I ran that for a day but went back to sense 4.
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I'm going to try this also on venasarus rom 3.1 wait for results!
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
plz let me kno what u think
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
Working great. No hesitation and got 3133 on quadrant.

You should look at 2D/3D scores ONLY!!!!

I looked at your results and it appearsbefore flashing you had 2D results checked @ 751 and 3D @ 1903.

After flashing you have 2D checked @ 847 and 3D @ 1901.

To come up with a relevant cinclusion you should not look at overall scores which include CPU, SD R/W, Mem IO, etc... included that can be affected by extra background processes that were launched.

I am just saying that this updated Qualcomm Video driver does not seem to have changed the performance at all. These could have been what you were already running.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

[HTC Rezound] erisboxx:
How do I install the new drivers? Flash via recovery?
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
correct.
[HTC Rezound] retepdgp:
Awesome job getting this to work! I flashed it successfully on the newest leak (Stock), and Skype works! And don't worry about earlier man, I'm just happy you got it work! :)
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
im loving the newest ics leak with those drivers. its smooth. the gui of android is mainly 2d, so forcing 2d rendering is a must i would say :)) F**k the ota :)
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
i had a real big jump in 2d performance with mine. 3d is about the same, perhaps a hair lower, which will certainly not be noticeable.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
thats exactly what its supposed to do. and the overall feel should be snappily solid hah :)
[HTC Rezound] andrix10:
So I just flash it in recovery?
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
YES
[HTC Rezound] zounduser:
im sorry for asking..... i know FLASH IN RECOVERY, but does this require specific ics firmware? or is it good with any ics? wanna give it a shot. thanks
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
what I find funny is how I have force 2d off, quadrant gives me like 2700

i turn it on, quadrant gives me like 2800

i turn it off, quadrant gives me 2400

i turn it on, quadrant gives me 2050

ok quadrant standard, you've had your fun for today, back into the garbage can for you

(no I wasn't heating up either)

[edit] even better, 2d on, 2500

2d off, 3200

I'm just spamming that run button =)

unless these drivers actually help battery life, according to quadrant they mean nothing (no I didn't flash them, the difference would be so minute if there even is any *COUGH* just like with the 2nd ics leak and the radios magical signal :rolleyes:)
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
first of all,NEVER RUN A TEST BACK TO BACK. restart your phone without fastboot on. youll get more consistent results. should probably read before even posting.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

any ics is fine. :)
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Lol @ whoever takes quad scores seriously.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Antutu scores please.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
thats why our threads of clogged up with pointless posts right here. if you arent gunna be serious then leave. quad helped if you like it or not. thank you very much

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

i will post some soon. im assuming you want before and after so i will have to revert back to regular so give me a few.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Here you are. Also running DE 1.4.

Left: Rev 213 Right: Rev 218
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
keep in mind that he used 213 and 218 drivers. these arent included in regular roms and ics leaks. the 213 is the first patch i posted and 218 is the last patch i posted. the drivers that come with roms and leaks are very crappy i tested and got a 4000 range score. will try to post a pic. but i definately recommend upgrading to at least the 213 or 218 and the feel for everything is way better
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
You know what, I am going to have to get a better "before" screenshot as that was from CR Tapped edition w/213 drivers loaded.

Here's a before

No difference at all in 2d/3d
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
yes i just did a test and i got in the 4000 range without 213 and 218 drivers. i wonder if there gunna include these updated drivers in the ota. you never kno :))

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

are you using any cpu to boost your score? cause im getting 5800 range on complete stock latest ics leak. hmm nice score btw.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Thanks and nope. No cpu handling apps at all. Just a heavily debloated rom.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
This is slightly uncalled for

Your taking this too seriously, the way I see it anyway these benchmarking apps are extremely inaccurate anyway

So telling the guy to read before posting accomplishes what? I haven't seen a thread anywhere on the correct way of running quadrant, atleast on these parts?

Just my two cents
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
crap i agree i didnt notice i was being so rude, because i kno nothin about phones lol. even tho i look realy stupid right now ill say sorry. the gpu is somethin ive read alot about on our phones thats about it. anyways. +1 to this.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
As opposed to our forums being "clogged" up as you say with useless threads like this one ;). Or the fact that you're respondin gto my "pointless post" also makes your response pointless does it not? Should play some games and see if it's smoother as opposed to using synthetic benches. Also quad sucks, there are better benches out there if you MUST use a synthetic bench :rolleyes:.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
dude i am such an ass on here. lol. but yea i wanted to put games so i looked up our gpu and stuff. the android system is in 2d so forcing should increase everyday tasks i would assume. i do feel a difference
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
If you feel a positive difference on your device, and you notice games running smoother etc, then mark the drivers as an improvement. Antutu and Quad aren't the best apps for GPU benching. I'd say try nenamark 1 and nenamark 2, I know most reviewers use Open GL offscreen to bench the GPU as well. Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
+1 to this my dewd. ive heard of nenamark. i will try it out. did you by chance try any of the drivers i posted? anyways thank you
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Not yet. I'll be running a nand and I'll try them later tonight.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Pretty sure 213 GL drivers are standard in the ICS leaks. That's what my phone has (per GLESView) and I'm running the newest ICS leak. I have loaded no special GL drivers.

openGL ES version: 2.0_2131267
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
this is a screen capture of my scores running CleanRom 4.4 with the kernel from the newest leak right after a fresh reboot.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
yes, i noticed that. btw, your score is way better than mine and im on stock leak. im thinkin about running clean rom but he hasnt updated to the latest leak yet and i dont wanna do all this flash different kernal and crap like that to not have heat problems and such. thanks for your post
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I think there is a CleanRom based on the latest leak. CleanRom 4.5. I'm on CleanRom 4.4 but I took the kernel and wifi module from the latest leak and flashed them on top of 4.4 and it seems to be really good.
[HTC Rezound] slosrtnick:
Would the 218 drivers be an upgrade to what I currently have on my phone?

Thanks

Nick
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
cant tell with that screenshot, download the openglviewer from the market and show us
[HTC Rezound] slosrtnick:
Here's a screen shot, I guess I already have the 218 drivers.

Can you verify this?

Thanks

Nick
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
i am stock on the 3.14 ics leak, and my version says: ES 2.0 2131267

so i'd say you are on the 218's or what not...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mikstev:
(dev only for now, you need to know how to install/load a kernel module by hand/write a init.d script for it)

Hi,

I was annoyed by the too bright backlight especially at night. Even the lowest (non-zero) setting was too bright for me (see my thread in general section).

Thanks to irfanbagus BCM-TWEAK which I could easily adapt here's kernel module to lower the lowest brightness. This means that only the former lowest mode is changed to an even lower brightness, the other modes remain the same.

I've attached a kernel module for this incl. source (based on irfanbagus' source, say thanks to him :) ).

After loading this module you can simply use the system backlight setter to dim the backlight. In case it was already set to lowest brightness, simply increase the brightness and then decrease it again to apply the updated mode.

This doesn't work with GO Launcher's setting widget's backlight setter and probably also not with other 3rd party backlight setters.

If you test it, please report.

More details about backlight/brightness (see aat1401_bl.c in kernel source if you're interested):

- brightness level is a value in [0,255] (most apps map this to [0,100]%)

- in fact there're just about 25 different brightness levels which a stored in a table, each entry has a 'level' and a 'tune_level' value

- the tune_level (>0) determines the brightness: low level low brightness, high level high brightness

- there's a "lowest" level (30) but only the system setter respects this. This level's tune_level is changed by my kernel module to 1 instead of 2

- system's brightness setter allows no level below 30 thus my mod works good with it

- other setters allow levels below 30 and here is the problem:

The responsible module for setting the backlight brightness looks at the level value in [0,255]. If it's below 30 then a default tune_level of 2 is used.

The GO Launcher widget probably simply sets the level to 0.

I don't know a way to change this default tune_level in a already compiled/running kernel.

So if you want to use another setter, make sure to choose level 30 or about 12% because then my updated tune_level will be used. Usually 12% should map to level 30. If not, I can't help you. Use system setter instead.

Btw to switch backlight off (warning, not recommended) you can use the direct way: echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/aat1401-backlight/brightness
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mikstev:
Found a widget which allows custom brightness values and works fine with my mod: Brightness Widget - Backlight!

Tested with this settings: 30,1,150,255
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] ronnieryan:
i am using switch pro widget..range from

0% ----> 100%
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mikstev:
0% = no backlight?

Anyway, with my mod you'd have the lowest brightness at 12%.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] ronnieryan:
yes, 0% no backlight, but its so inconvenient ..10% is better
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mikstev:
Interesting, I'll have a look.

Edit: As far as I see this widget doesn't require root. Even if it could disable backlight (I'm not sure if this is possible) its lowest non-zero brightness is higher than with my mod.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] nakawanaoki:
how can i use this sir?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mikstev:
1. Copy the .ko file to /system/lib/modules

2. Set the file permissions to 644

3. Install the module via insmod bl_brightness-tweak.ko (you can also use a init.d script for this, you can adapt the one I uploaded in the droidwall thread)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] ranchu-panchu:
I am not sure why,

but on trying to turn off screen with "echo 0" it is only get darker, but not completely off.

Is there any way to really turn of screen ?

Thank you,

[HTC One X] thirda:
Hi,

Having recently got both a One X and a new Blu Ray player (Samsung BD E5500), I've been trying really hard to get DLNA sharing to work from the phone to the Blu Ray, with absolutely no success. They're both connected to the same router, the One X wirelessly, the Samsung wired. Third-party apps like Twonky work no problem, but I can't get the HTC sharing from the Gallery, etc., to work at all - I go to "Select Player", it clearly searches for a while, and then comes up with nothing. Conversely, where the Samsung normally lists all the media servers it can find on the network, there's never a hint that it can see the phone at all (unless, of course, I'm running the Twonky server).

I emailed HTC about this yesterday, and they responded by saying that Google had forced the ICS DLNA app to be restricted to WiFi-Direct connections only, that there was nothing I could do via a router connection, and giving me a handy link to where I could buy the MediaLink HD at great expense. :-) I've been searching and I can't find any other reference to Google doing anything with regard to DLNA & WiFi-Direct. They also insisted that my GF's Incredible S, still being on GB, would work fine over my router's WiFi to talk to the Samsung player. Unsurprisingly (as I had in fact told them in the original email), the Incredible S displays exactly the same symptoms as my One X.

So, my question is, are HTC telling the truth about this? It seems that other people on here have managed to get some kind of DLNA sharing working, if I've read the threads right. Any tips? I could understand *adding* DLNA+WiFi-Direct support (now that that's part of the standard), but taking away the ability to talk to non-WiFi-Direct DLNA players? Doesn't make sense.

Anything else I can say that will add to this, please do just ask!

Hope someone can answer. :-)

Thanks!
[HTC One X] EvertorN:
Have you turned on DLNA on your blu ray player (or is that automatically enabled)? Your One X has to push media to your blu ray player, not play it.
[HTC One X] thirda:
Automatically enabled. It seems that the Blu Ray player just regularly scans for media providers and shows them in a list on the main menu screen. Certainly, that's how it handles the minidlna server on my OpenWRT router, and how it displays the Twonky server on my One X (when it's running).
[Transformer TF300T General] drmason:
Fresh owner of a TF300T coming from an Ipad, since both are IPS Panels im kind of disappointed with the Transformers.

The colours are pretty much washed out and the white is dominating the contrast, its quite a difference to the Ipad.

Can anybody confirm that this is by design, or is it just my personal perception?! Or maybe I've got a faulty device?
[Transformer TF300T General] lifyre:
I don't notice this issue my angry birds looks as good as the ipad or iPhone. I have a fairly subdued color scheme otherwise though.
[Transformer TF300T General] Citruspers:
I'll need some more time with the device to be able to say something thoughtful about it, though perhaps I can hook up a colorimeter and give you a scientific measurement.. :)
[Transformer TF300T General] koiulpoi:
I have noticed a "washed out" effect on mine as well, but only in two circumstances:

1) When setting the tab to "Power Saving" mode

2) When using Splashtop, either the built-in version or THD
[Transformer TF300T General] amcplus5:
I own both a TF300 and a TF101 and the display on the TF300 does appear a little washed out compared to my TF101.
[Transformer TF300T General] jrsalda:
Totally agree, display quality seems below tf101 and way below the new ipad. highly noticeable. While is not terrible, it's pretty disappointing specially coming from a $400 device($550 total spent w/ dock plus taxes), same as tf101 when was released. tf101 blows away the tf300t regarding quality construction, including the "IPS" screen.

add those cons to the tf300t browser issues, some game compatibility issues with tegra 3 SoC, unexpected app and games shutdowns, occasional flickering on some games and what you got?
[Transformer TF300T General] ronny71:
Exactly ...the display color on mine is very washed out as well...You Tube Videos and CNN Videos which I just tried today are dismal...Im very dissapointed...I wanted to compare to the 201...but none in the Best Buy...or anywhere else for that matter...Im goin back to compare to other tablets to see the difference...Might go for the 201...I can do an exchange in 30 days...Unless there is a way to adjust these colors...I luv basically everything else about it...Only had it for two days...So we'll see...:(
[Transformer TF300T General] Ready2Mosh:
Some of the Primes also have washed out colors, especially if you get a warm tone one. The last one I had was cool tone and had excellent colors.
[Transformer TF300T General] ronny71:
Oh...so theres cool tone ones...Somthin I didn't know:( ...Back to the BB and have them open a few to see the difference...I definitley want the 300...just not one with colors that suck...Thats why I wanted to compare it to a 201...Saw the videos on You Tube...with side by side comparison ...But you can't really tell much when watchin it on a PC...:confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
What do you guys mean by washed out colours? Is it very noticeable? Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] ronny71:
Yep very noticeable...Like I said my CNN and You Tube Videos...Are blurred and washed out...

I didn't catch this in the Store...Picked it up Monday ...started playin around with it yesterday and today...Never had a Tablet before...Just Smartphones and of course Laptops and PC's...But the colors on my Samsung Epic 4g Touch pop...That screen is amazin...So far very let down with this screen...as far as Color Display...

Takin it back on the weekend and have them show me a few more to see if this is just a bad one or not...I don't want the Ipad or Acer...But I watched Smackdowns on YT between the 300,201 and the Acer 500 and there wasn't a real bad complaint from anyone about the color on the 300 just the brightness...Im satisfied with the brightness on this one but color ...Forgetabout it...:eek:

Im hopin its a bad one...the 700 won't be out to June...Didn't really want to wait...This looked like a good deal...Ill just have to wait and see what happens on the weekend...Their (BB) return policy is great:cool:
[Transformer TF300T General] overtheair:
This thread and other comments about the TF300's display piqued my curiosity, so I stopped in at Best Buy to check it out. This BB had a TF300 and a TF101 side by side, so it was easy to do a comparison to the 101, which I already own and am familiar with.

I set the brightness to max on both tablets and loaded the same websites on each, showing a mix of text and color graphics. The display on the 101 looked exactly as I would expect. The difference was that the 101 was notably brighter than the 300, and probably for that same reason the white background to the text was whiter and the colors a bit more pronounced. I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be if I were looking only at the TF300, since it's still a nice screen, but seeing them side by side I would personally prefer the screen on the 101.
[Transformer TF300T General] Ready2Mosh:
Reds aren't really red, kind of washed out orangey red, blues are pale. It's especially noticable with Asus tree wallpaper, the clouds kind of blend into the sky. It's almost like water colors but not quite that bad.

The 300 i'm on now has very nice colors, almost perfect to real life, took some pictures and held my 300 next to the object and it was pretty close to what I saw in real life.

My panel is also cool in color tone, so all the ones I've seen with warm screens are kind of washed out, the ones with the cool tone panels have better color IMO.
