Great app! Long bought in Google Play. There are problems with the work on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 4.4.2, but I think it will be solved.
[Android Apps and Games] Smegmus Magnus:
...I think mayhap you mean Galaxy Note 3?

I'm running a rooted N3 on Beans 6 rom; this retains the stock kernel. On this I am able to run Half Life 2, though with some texture flaws - nevertheless it is playable. I also just got Portal to run, but haven't yet fully tested it with my MOGA controller.

However, I cannot get M&B: Warband to play, which is extremely vexing to me because I did successfully do it awhile ago, but I didn't own a MOGA yet, and there was no touchscreen support: Now I have a MOGA, but can't remember how I got it to work (method from previous posts in this thread do not work for me).

UPDATE: Portal is a resounding success! Enable custom settings; enable custom GPU/CPU and choose Shield option; enable all 6 of the last category's settings. Works perfectly with my MOGA.
[Android Apps and Games] greyOCELOT:
hey wonder if you could help me to get gltools to run on my Note 3, GLTools wont install have looked around and found that its probably the stock kernel.

Is there a way to get on the Beans 6 rom without tripping knox as I am rooted with knox 0x0 and was trying to avoid it really and flashing kernel aline will trip the knox counter.
[Android Apps and Games] Smegmus Magnus:
[MENTION=5102753]greyOCELOT[/MENTION]

general/short answer: I followed links/threads found here (XDA) to root my stock N3 and install Beans 6; this included a modified MJE firmware which negated KNOX...

...it's here if you patiently look.

I gave this short answer because I work 3rd shift and am going to bed. I will happily try to reconstruct the process/steps I took at more length this weekend. Yet, it's in the N3 (Verizon) thread(s) even as I swype this.

Good luck.

Hi, Help needed guys how to install gltools with plugin ?? I have normally install it, then it ask for plugin. One have to check 3 boxes. Two option below there, install or install by recovery. When i press install its restart and now again after opening the app am on the same page and by Pressing Install by recovery its goes in recovery then after install the zip created by Gltools its give "footer wrong" error..then phone restart again on the app am on the same install plugin options... HElllpppppp :(

Am using Galaxy s5 sm g900h Stock Rom + Kitkat + Rooted
[Android Apps and Games] andrijaaj:
It helps thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] 7175:
This is a great app, one of a kind and expertly coded. Anybody with problems in kitkat should know that kitkat itself is currently unstable, has been, and will be until the day the galaxy nexus is supported. That means a lot of games and apps aren't even working correctly without tweaks. If you got any issues, try doing some debugging, check logcats with a logcat app and look for red listed entries (system failures). You may be able to fix some crashes and stuff by using 4.3 libs, I.e. libEGL, libGLES*, other graphics related libs that worked perfectly in 4.3 or 4.2.2 (sub i.e., try using 4.2.2s /system/vendor/firmware/*ducati* graphics file).

Support this developer, he makes some real good stuff like c4droid compiler, full functioning via glibc or uclibc.

Amazon Kindle Hdx Thor

Hello!

Do you know if GLTools is working on Amazon Kindle Hdx? Since I don't have any recovery installed on my rooted Thor, I don't think it's a good idea to experiment. If it works without bricking the device it would be amazing!

[Android Apps and Games] 12gage:
Are there any tricks you used to install this on the Note 3 other than having a custom kernel? I keep hearing about people bricking their devices and I've been hesitant to attempt installing.
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
This doesn't use any of the chainfire plugins. All you do is click the 2nd plugin and check the three check boxes and click install.
[Android Apps and Games] n0n3m4:
Hi all.

Seems like plugin server uses the new API (again), so the current XDA-developers version support is discontinued.

If someone wants to take control of this thread (and fix anything what happened here, I mean that OP's messages were removed) - email me and I'll send you a xda-developers version (but note that this thread should be fixed first).

If no one will do that - anyone can use a pirated one as well, since it is ad-supported from v1.28 (and has no restriction except ads).

I have an LG P500, an armv6 device. Play says it is compatible. Will it work and be of benefit on such an oldie-but-goodie?

I am not much interested in games. There are, however, apps listed as incompatible, this because of their graphics needs. An example is newer Dolphin browser betas. I had one sideloaded and a lot of its "demos" worked just fine, others did not. Newer versions test and die immediately. Google Search is incompatible, any attempt to directly use off-line voice will FC, but I had off-line voice actually work (just once) so the FC is "before." Another candidate for some mod?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

Have you sent the log to the dev? If no I'll send it. Thanks for your log :)

Hi,

The thing is I'm not the dev of this app, but I can report to him, could you explain a bit more what you mean?

Thanks :)

Hi,

Maybe a logcat could be useful. For this search on the Play Store for Catlog, aLogcat or even Syslog (with this app the "main log" is what you need, in any case this app could be useful for you in the future to have some different logs if a dev or you need it) :)

In any case I just share this app I discovered on the Play Store (since it looks like Chainfire3D, but updated, for me it could be interesting). I'll try to do my best to maintain this topic. At the beginning this thread was posted in the LG G2 forum only...

The dev can't post (for now) for help, debug, info, etc... because he is very busy.

Since a discussion between him and me, he accepted to make an XDA version, so I already talked to him. But in any case I'm affiliated to it. I just shared this app and now I try to follow and report to him about all what you reported.

Right now I can't test more due to a lack of time :(, but I follow the thread. As I saw on the previous pages there is some users with good reports, settings and feedbacks, this is how it will be better to help each others :good:

:)
[Android Apps and Games] iplexus4:

This requires root and I'm theorising here you can try with rom toolbox or another app of your choise changing your build prop (ro.product.board OR ro.product.cpu.abi and ro.product.cpu.abi2) but I'm not a dev I have no knowledge if it's going to work what you can try for sure is downloading it from another source!! :D

Hi,

With what settings???

Something like this happened to me on my LG G2 with some wrong settings (but I don't remember which ones)...

Right, maybe the Nexus One is not compatible (maybe to "old", due to the hardware?) :confused:. It seems this app works well (unless some wrong settings), at least, on "recent" devices...

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Trekest:
I Wasn't expecting this to work really as 4.4.2 by itself is a toll order for it, it's definitely not GLTool's fault.

I'm just too scared to try it on one of my newer devices. :silly:

The only settings which were modified was enabling the FPS meter and using a fake GPU name (Tegra 3). Perhaps reverting to Slimbean (my favorite when it comes to stability and reliability) will yield different results.

[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
Just tested it with Nexus 7 2013, TeX plugin and Blood Sword THD.

Works great.

Also for people having problem to install the TeX plugin:

you have to uninstall gltools from the menu inside.

Uninstall Gltools app and then install it again.

Make sure that you have an internet connection before opening, otherwise it will not show TeX plugin.

Select TeX plugin that support proprietary textures from vendors like nVidia.

Check the 3 tick boxes bellow and install.

For this game I selected Fake gpu info with template Tegra 4. It has a big differences in graphics quality T3 vs T4, with tegra 4 being the best.

Also i used decompress all textures but this didn't have any difference with unsupported only.

The funny thing is that the game has more fps in Nexus 7 2013 with 1900x1200 screen and with template tegra 4 (better graphics)

than in Nexus 7 2012 with 1280x800 screen (native support and lower quality graphics).

It's funny because it shows how bad are these gpu/soc industry "games" from nVidia. With their optimized for Tegra..

Well the good thing is that these THD games are heavily optimised for the triangle/fillrate/shader capabilities of these devices,

so having a high-end qualcomm (Adreno 320 S600/S4plus+) will make all these games fly.

So next thing is to try and play at last, Sumioni demon arts and Horn (this doesn't support 4.3+, so we'll see).

Also I'd like to ask dev what happens you don't enable support (default) in game. Because for sure it isn't like not having this mod at all (textures working in Puddle THD without enabling this game).

I have tried this app and used in on my XSP...i was having problems with Galaxy on Fire 2 HD Supernova episode. On playstore it says my device was incompatible with this game but with some tinkering i was able to download and install the game ( with all episodes). Game runs smooth with no lags even with large number of ships flying on the screen. Now here's the glitch, whenever i try to use the "cloaking" (invisible) ability of my ship the whole galaxy background including the ships turned BLACK, only the radar DOT indicators and the HUD was not affected, after the cloaking was deactivated everything went back to normal, i can see the galaxy and the ships again. Also while cloaked, if i activated the booster, the glitch seems to disappear but only on the duration of the boost. It was a big turn down for me, imagine the expectation that my device was powerful enough to able to run the game with no lags minus the minor "cloak" glitch. I finished the Void and Valkyrie episode, i was excited to play the Supernova episode and i was astonished with its storyline, now again the spoiler comes...in the latest episode you will encounter ships (stealth ahips) that can do "cloaking" as well as your ship can, when they activated it, the whole background again turns to black, only the HUD remained. After experiencing this, i look for possible answers with every thread i encounter but sadly non have given me the solution. Then i saw this app, i have used Chainfire before on my Xmini GB and works great. This was different coz it was made to be compatible with 2.3+ devices. I installed the TEX plugin, rebooted...then do some tinkering on the GOF custom settings, i enabled 4xMSAA non-tegra and optimize GLSL shader options. Run the game, and presto! I can use the cloaking ability with no glitches. Everything now works perfectly. Kudos to DEV for this awesome app:thumbup:

Real Racing 3 on Nexus 7 FHD

I switched from different GPU ID, from Adreno to Tegra. I took some screenies for comparison.

Adreno mode (original)

Tegra 4 mode

Noticed that some of the textures like crowd, race flags and fences dissappeared in Tegra but it smoothed out the jaggies from Adreno, put some added reflections and depth blur.

[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
Some more info:

To improve quality use have to use msaa and also disable texture recompression. The 1st needs good gpu, the 2nd a lot of ram.

Also if a game is optimized for Tegra 4 and not optimized for adreno try to use tegra 4 profile for quality and performance.

GLSL optimization does almost nothing to adreno gpus (self-tested with 205 and s600 320). They already have really good drivers.

If you have PowerVR gpu make sure you enable it. You'll see vast performance improvements.

As for Mali and Tegra, dunno... This info was taken by Aras Pranckevičius' blog, Unity Engine 3 dev.

Tested tegra only Demon's score. It works great and fast with Tegra 4 profile. Take my middle finger nVidia.

Sumioni demon arts: Still black screen. Logs show nothing :/

Overall this is just a great GL plugin. Still want to know the default behavior of system-wide textures recompression.

Only because it enabled me to play some games that I was jealous of some friends having Tegra devices,

I just bought GLTools!

I'll try with Horn when I have time..

I can't see any difference in Dead Trigger 2 if I enable Tegra 4 mode. Using a Nexus 7 (2013). Graphics were amazing before as well, wonder what exactly are those tegra effects.

Ok, I started a new game with an anonymous account, because I have seen that on the first level you should see water effects on the ground in Tegra 4 mode. But it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
Well the difference there for sure:

Fake GPU OFF:

Fake Tegra 4:

Water movement and blood decals:

Just a smaaaall detail here:

Make sure to enable Ultra High in settings :P

Because this is the difference. Tegra 4 enables ultra high

Btw you can achieve this by editing the com.madfinger.deadtrigger.xml inside data folder of Dead trigger

UnityGraphicQuality to "2" and

OptionGraphicDetail to "3" -->This is the ultra high

With UnityGraphicQuality you can achieve even better graphics and can only done by editing the xml. Default is 1 to every gpu currently
