opps, sorry, i didnt realise this was a specific device thread......i concur though, this thread probably should be in "general" android section, if OP is willing
[Android Apps and Games] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I'm the OP and yes I'm willing :laugh:

I'm waiting to know if it will be moved or not.

No worries, you can post here for another devices ;)

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
works well for me on my htc one x :)

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Have you some settings to share? Tested in games?

Some feedbacks about improvements or something else?

[Android Apps and Games] ciabatoni:
Whats going on

I dont know what happened, but i was trying to install the "The Walking Dead, season 1 w/ clementine" Every site hosting the file says install the GLTOOLS.APK if there are problems installing. So, I did, and the moment it installed and said open I did and my phone froze. No biggie I had that happen before. So I pulled the battery and turn on my device, and it wont boot past the safestrap screen, it just goes black, I can access the safestrap recovery, but cant get any further. Im currently rooted on the ME7 build, 4.2.2 Safestrap recovery, running CleanRom 1.6 My device is a VZW gs4.

Im about to wipe everything and install a new rom. However, I would really like to avoid doing that, due to the data ill be losing. Is there any way to locate and uninstall the files installed by gltools, I have a original touchwiz rom saved in one slot, could I possibly boot into that and remove the installed files, I also need to know where there located, Sorry for the wall text...

[Android Apps and Games] iH8Ecchi:
Sounds curious... which settings do you use for that?
[Android Apps and Games] Lemon_Lime`s:
i had install it and it doesnt make different from my SGY . test on Raging Thunder II and it work fine but other game i play it doesnt work .

Send from my SGY n` SGS3 Mini using Official Stock Rom
[Android Apps and Games] NSDCars5:
Far as I remember, I set AA to force disabled, reduced texture sizes to 0.5x (gameplay is okay, menus look a bit bad), forced 16-bit rendering, optimized GLSL shaders, and set fake GPU info to Adreno 320.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

It appears that some logs posted here and sent to the dev by myself refers to a cracked version of GLTools... :(

Guys, in the OP there is an XDA version of the app, so free with no restrictions apart a toast message like this one:

Seriously, what do you want more??? The dev is kind enough to provide a free version for XDA then...

Do you want see this thread closed???

Use the XDA version or paid for the app to support the developer and, please, stop posting crash logs of a cracked app. Do not expect any help from the dev with a log of a cracked version of its app.

Thanks.

[MENTION=2920816]viking37[/MENTION] so what will happen if i click on 21 (instead of 0) in that screen? and why did you make a screen like that?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

To show that the only restriction with the XDA version is this message...

It's not always the same numbers, if you click on the other than the one proposed in the message the app close, that's all.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

Wait and see..., once I have an update for the XDA version from the dev I'll post it and I'll update the OP, no worries.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
I've tried both the paid app and the xda version and there are no texture plugins for me to install.

Tried 1.07 but I got FC when I open the app (after installing driver fine). 1.05 worked normally tho.

I will post log asap.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

Maybe a logcat could be useful...

EDIT: just saw you edited your post, ok :)

:)
[Android Apps and Games] daothanhduy1996:
Maybe this is weird but I changed the kernel to stock and it worked again :) - I used a custom stock kernel and it FC and also prevented me from getting logcat so I couldn't log it :)
[Android Apps and Games] klvnhng:
No problems so far, but the app prompted me to reinstall the plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] Vankog:
Galaxy Nexus - not working

For Galaxy Nexus (maguro) on 4.1.1 stock rooted it is not working.

I selected the texture plugin and hit install.

After a short time it attempted a soft restart (does not work for me for some months for whatever reason).

After booting into the system I launch GLTools. I shortly see the apps list and GLTools crashes right away without a report possibility.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

In this case use Catlog, aLogcat or Syslog (Play Store)...

Anyone happen to know how to make a custom profile?

I'm in the reviewing business and I was hoping to cover some older games, so emulating older GPUs would be pretty useful...but I look at a page with data like this - http://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benc...D=SonyEricsson+R800i+Xperia+Play&testgroup=gl - ...I actually have no clue what info matters there and how to properly make a profile out of it.
[Android Apps and Games] templeka:
I'm having a weird problem with GLtools v1.07 and Need for Speed most wanted on my Galaxy Advance. The game works pretty good without it installed (some tracks do lag a bit and I wanted to maybe improve that with GLTools). After installing GLTools the game lags bad (I get around 10FPS) with every setting I tried and even the car preview in menu lags. Other games I tried and didn't experience this problem are Dead Trigger 2 and Deus Ex. Anyone got any clues on what's going on or how can I help figuring this problem out?

Is this GLtool is working On xperia X8

Because I tried On Jelly bean rom i got bootloop after installing this

i try to install through recorvery but it say status 0
[Android Apps and Games] 7MoOoD19:
that is a great work..

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] wbrambley:
If you didn't change anything specific to this game it may be something to do with global setting of texture decompression or recompression. Maybe there is a load of unsupported texture.
[Android Apps and Games] DD-Ripper:
Maybe a nooby question here ... I tried GLTOOLS (xda version) on my Galaxy S2 i9100 with modern combat 4 with settings

AA : Disabled

Texture decompression : Unsupported only

Texture Recompression : disabled

Downscale textures : 0.5x

It decreased the graphics though but it didn't improve game performance ..its still choppy and lags like usual o.O

Am I doing something wrong ?
[Android Apps and Games] Blind Absence:
Modern Combat 4

Can anybody help me find the settings for Modern Combat 4 using Gltools?.

been trying to work out for a while what settings to use to make the games graphics higher. Anyone know the settings?

i'm using Google Nexus 7 (2012)

Tested Gltools with the following games and these are the settings i used :)

Asphalt 8: Airborne - you'll know this is working by playing the Tokyo race track.

Enable custom settings for this app, Force 16 bit rendering (reduces lag), Optimize GLSL shaders,

Enable Texture decompression (All), Enable Texture Recompression (Disable),

Use fake GPU, Use Fake Cpu, Mali-T604, Simple MapBuffer emulation.

Zombie Driver -

Enable custom settings for this app, Force 16 bit rendering (reduces lag),

Enable Texture decompression (All), Enable Texture Recompression (Disable)

Use fake GPU, Use Fake Cpu, Tegra 4 (SHIELD), Simple MapBuffer emulation.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] picarito:
You can use sgx 544mp as fake CPU and enable map buffer and optimize shaders

its odd as it works well with other games but doesn't seem to affect Modern Combat 4 :/.

Hi,

If you want to support the dev, yes there is a paid version on the Play Store, search for GLTools...

Hi,

Again and again..., can you provide a log?

Thanks :)

Weird, there were some logs posted but since I informed people they were from a cracked version of GLTools that they used, now no more logs when I ask one (not a single)... :eek: :confused:

Without logs, how the dev can know what happens, and how he can eventually fix some problems?

This works so gud on my low end device(Galaxy Star)......

Hey man..

I installed this xda version and it works fine after i reboot.

Installed the TEX plugin and then just chose a fake gpu for whole device and not per-app basis.

All the games work fine.

But as soon as i reboot again..the screen start flickering.

Not inside games but at the home screen too the display goes black every second and duration increases to 4-5 seconds even.

Tried 4-5 times on different roms.

4.1.2 and 4.2.2 stock roms..even on 4.4.2 Mokee Open Source for my P3100.

Any help.?

Fake gpu that i put is SGX544 MP.

Installed latest version on my Onda v975m and some games seem to have problems until I uninstall it (Need for speed Most wanted for example, no settings changed, nothing). Should I provide logcats or what, I really want to use this on my tab to be able to play the games I play on my HTC One X+ (tegra)?
[Android Apps and Games] wbrambley:
Try disabling the texture decompression / recompression on these games or on a system wide level.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello,

Just for info, there is no update for the XDA version to the v1.08 (Play Store), this update is a really minor update and doesn't affect the usage of the app because the changes are applied to the plugins too, not only in the app itself. So the current XDA version (1.07) is fine.

There will be a new version when there will be major changes. And, obviously, I'll post here when I'll have it (count on about 3 days after the update on the Play Store)...

For Gltools work 100% i must create a partition in my sdcard?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

I don't know, but I can ask to n0n3m4 about that.

Heu..., nope, at least right now I don't see why would you create a partition in your sdcard for GLTools :confused:

:)

On another side it seems that some "problems" reported are on user level, not related to the app itself, maybe wrong settings?

In the case you have some weird behaviors, the best is to provide some logs :)

Hi,

Sorry but nope..., without more relevant information.

Device?

Android version?

What is not working??? Could you elaborate a bit more?

Force Close?

Another error message?

Settings used?

And so on...

The more relevant details and information you will provide, the more you could have help...

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ddaggebi:
Oh... Very sorry. Forgotten that. Sorry.

I am a nexus 4 user. I am on Kiakat 4.4.2 KVT49L-based custom rom, PLSX.

It installs, and it doesn't brick my phone, or getting force closes. However, it is not effecting my games. On stock JB 4.3, it worked...

Setting I've used is optimize GLES shaders. That's all. No fake GPU info.

I can't provide you a log because there are no specific error messages or FCs. Also don't know how to post logs...

Please help me... I am in state of despair....

[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
The newer Gameloft games won't benefit in terms of graphics-features like particle effects and such from GLTools (at least everything I tested showed that)

Actually, on my Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 I find very few games that have any real benefits from the app
[Android Apps and Games] pipyakas:
At least msaa works on minion rush and asphalt 8, and when i fake to tegra 2 the medium and high option in a8 grayed out, means that the app does affect the game

Sr for my bad english
[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
Odd, I've tested Asphalt 8 with all possible combinations and medium and high are always grayed out for me, while on my tablet (same hardware, but quad-core CPU) they're perfectly usable...so I assume they have a deeper check. And I don't count the MSAA when I said "no effect", that can be enabled in the developer options in Android 4.2 or higher and it'll work on everything.

We seriously need to make a "database" or something with what works on what. Here, I'll even share what I know.

The Walking Dead (Kindlefire HD exclusive):

Enable texture decompression = All

Enable texture recompression = dissabled

Use fake GPU info = Adreno 320

Result: works on all devices

Dead Trigger:

Use fake CPU + GPU info = Tegra 3

Result: allows Ultra-High details

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (Xperia Play, Xperia S and Xperia ION exclusive): doesn't work

Zombie Driver THD (Tegra 3 and 4 exclusive): doesn't work

Asphalt 7: Heat: no effect

Asphalt 8: Airborne: no effect
[Android Apps and Games] golastic:
Sup man...have problem running demon score.Have been able to get pass made for nvidia tegra device and the screen goes black but i could hear the music and when i touch the screen, i do hear sound ..Could u pls share your setting u able to get it running pls....I have s4i9500 ad running omega rom v19 with omega kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
Demons' Score:

Enable texture decompression: Unsupported only

Enable texture recompression: Decompressed only

Use fake GPU info: Ticked

GPU profile: Tegra 3

You can try also Optimise GLSL shaders, it can give a little boost.

As for Enable texture recompression, don't try Disable, it will FC the game eventually even with 2GB ram.
[Android Apps and Games] PunkOz:
I'd like to play Dead Trigger 2 with super high settings on my Nexus 5 OC at 3 GHz, even if it lags, I wanna see how it looks like with GLTools quality boost :) I've enabled ultra high settings from the XML file already.

Optimize Gl shaders give a performance boost at the cost of what? Quality loss?
[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
Dead Trigger 1 and 2 are Unity3D games, they'll have no benefit from the Optimize GL shaders function (the engine has that already).

As for playing it on Ultra-High with no lag...to be honest, the Adreno 320 GPU is not really up to spec for that.
[Android Apps and Games] Mintree:
I am currently trying to get the Walking Dead working on my SGS3. Withouth GLtool the game "runs" with a black screen but the sound is playing and able to tap the screen.

I tried with GLtools with your setting and I was able to see the first few loading part but as soon as it tries to loads into the main menu screen the game crashes.

Has anyone gotten this to work with SGS3? I would really like to play this on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] PunkOz:
I would like to know what are the settings in gltools to give dt2 a bigger boost in graphics, even if it lags like hell, i just want to knos the configuration for better graphics :)

Thanks in advancd
[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
Force MSAA - x8

Decompress textures - all

Recompress - disable (or decompressed only, not sure)

Fake GPU+CPU - Tegra 4

In-game - options - graphics - Ultra High (or whatever they called it)

That's about it, let us know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] RicardoA:
Hi!

it would be nice to know the oposite...

I want frames per second, no graphics(i'm just getting 30/40fps's in deattrigger :( )!

I want to know what are the best setings to get best performance in DeadTrigger

many thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
I never really needed to do that on my Galaxy S2, but I guess it would be:

MSAA - forced disable

Downscale textures - x0.5 (or try the lower values if that doesn't work)

P:S. Lowering the render resolution is a pretty bad idea, trust me.
[Android Apps and Games] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:
Can anyone tell the best settings for performance of asphalt 8 for low ram phones. ?
[Android Apps and Games] CrisR82:
That's about all you can do...just have Optimize GL Shaders selected too. If that doesn't help, then try lowering the render resolution (it'll greatly screw up the graphics quality).
