In Nexus 7 2013, if fake Tegra GPU is enabled in GLTools, the RR3 GFX app is now usable to change settings.

The first two images are shot in "Disabled" mode and the last two were shot in "Enabled" Extra High settings. The results were great but not suffering a decrease in FPS.

Re,

chocowilliam, thanks again, added another link to this post in OP (with proper credit) :good:

CTCaer, not sure but I don't see the difference in your different screenshots (about the water maybe? But in movement...), maybe it's just me, maybe I'm blind :D. Anyway thanks :)

[Android Apps and Games] 4Freedom:
hi all, i tested it on my lg optimus l5

i tried to install it and work, also unistall option work 100% i wanted to be sure

my phone is a low-end phone and i want to try it to decrease quality for smooter performance on 3d games

i worked on it for 3hours i tried it on

temple run2

dead trigger

fifa 14

need for speed most wanted

subway surfer

the only option that make game smooter is the resolution

i can decrease it to 0.5 or 0.25 than stock resolution 320x480

but the games became with a bad bad bad view/interface

other option not mod much fps

it can be helpfull for medium/high device because the resolution is in %

can add 0.75 option?? else nothing to do on L5
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
My bad.

I didn't figure out how to enable ultra high for DT2 with gltools..

I tried with the normal manual method: 3 and 3 at settings xml.

More on this thread.

Tested with gltools off and with fake tegra 4.

It lags a lot. Only S800 adreno 330 (the equivalent of Tegra 4) can play it without a hinge.
[Android Apps and Games] sephkateno:
Tested on Puddle thd it doesn't work the liquids are invisible and also tested on bloodsword it works there!

I want to test on Horn is there a different app for tegra 4 or there is one version for all please advise.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

If you want I can test it I have adreno 330.
[Android Apps and Games] Szighy:
Well, I have a Galaxy Tab 2 on which I have played DT2 on high settings, it wasn't perfect playing on it on high settings, but definitely playable, I don't care of little lags. And on the Nexus 7 (2013) with Tegra 4 effects, definitely runs better than on the Galaxy Tab 2. I enjoy a lot :D

And this is with the stock kernel and no OC, I'm sure with OCed cpu and gpu it would run perfectly with the highest settings.

[Android Apps and Games] PlayerBoy:
Qualcomm Processor?

Hello. Using the original Nexus 7 3G here, is it possible to use GLTools to fake Qualcomm processors' GPU? Been trying to run Lara Croft & Guardian of Light on my device, and since Chainfire3D doesn't support newer JB or Kitkat devices, will try GLTools. The game would only run on Qualcomm devices afaik, so have been wondering if GLTools could do something about it. Has anyone here tried the combo before (Qualcomm games running on Tegra device)? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sephkateno:
In theory yes it has that option (adreno 320)

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Had som fcs with eufloria hd right when the shooting starts tried everything via gltools but nothing then I uninstalled the gl plugins and it worked fine Viking can you forward this to the dev as a broken app by gltools? My device is note 3 qualcomm adreno 330
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
Tested it too. I think that puddle heavily depends in custom tegra physx that's why.

Well there is puddle for every devices and has exactly the same graphics and liquid physics.

If you have the THD version try to ask them for a license transfer.

No need many have tested it and works like charm as they say.

Yeah you can fake qualcomm. GLTools has adreno 320 profile

Have in mind there are 3 adreno 320 out there. Don't know which version is the one in GLTools.

Here's what I know from my Nexus 7 2013 @[4.4.2] stock taken from libGLESv2_adreno.so:

Chipset APQ8064–1AA
GPU Name (GL_RENDERER): Adreno (TM) 320
GPU versions (GL_VERSION):
OpenGL ES 2: OpenGL ES 2.0 V@53.0 AU@ (CL@)
OpenGL ES 3: OpenGL ES 3.0 V@53.0 AU@ (CL@)

Notice that before (CL@) it has

2 spaces

. Probably, the one in GLTools needs 2 also.. We'll need confirmation.

Out there there are

1st gen Adreno 320 (Snapdragon S4 Pro) - 64 ALU, 400MHz
2nd gen Adreno 320 (Snapdragon 600) - 96 ALU, 400 or 450MHz
3rd gen Adreno 320 (MSM8960DT) - 128? ALU, Quad Core, 400MHz

Mine is 2nd gen

Also here's a table with all adreno gpu names:

Adreno (TM) 200, Adreno (TM) 205, Adreno (TM) 203, Adreno (TM) 220, Adreno (TM) 225
Adreno (TM) 305, Adreno (TM) 306, Adreno (TM) 310, Adreno (TM) 320, Adreno (TM) 330
Adreno (TM) 405, Adreno (TM) 420, Adreno (TM) 430

Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour for example does not run full graphics on Nexus 7 2013. Maybe with 330 fake gpu you can.

Horn has different versions: Tegra, Mali, Adreno, PowerVR. You can choose by faking build.prop device names before downloading from playstore. Gonna test Tegra version 1.3.2.6

As for other people here please post your GL_VENDOR and GL_RENDERER. you can use Antutu (Device info) also for that.

Gonna download xperia Z1 Rom and Moto X rom and post results here

EDIT:---------

Moto X @[4.4] stock 143.44.8.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US:

Chipset MSM8960DT
GPU Name (GL_RENDERER): Adreno (TM) 320
GPU versions (GL_VERSION):
OpenGL ES 2.0 V@45.0 AU@ (CL@4169980)
OpenGL ES 3.0 V@45.0 AU@ (CL@4169980)

Again notice 2 spaces before (CL@xxxxxxx)

Xperia Z1 @[4.3] stock C6902_14.2.A.0.290:

Chipset 8974-AA
GPU Name (GL_RENDERER): Adreno (TM) 330
GPU versions (GL_VERSION):
OpenGL ES 2.0 V@53.0 AU@04.03.00.146.073 (CL@)
OpenGL ES 3.0 V@53.0 AU@04.03.00.146.073 (CL@)

Notice 1 space before (CL@xxxxxxx)

So now we know that Nexus 7 2013 and Xperia Z1 have the latest Adreno driver version

EDIT2:-----

Nexus 5 @[4.4.2] stock:

Chipset 8974-AA Same as Z1
GPU Name (GL_RENDERER): Adreno (TM) 330
GPU versions (GL_VERSION):
OpenGL ES 2: OpenGL ES 2.0 V@53.0 AU@ (CL@)
OpenGL ES 3: OpenGL ES 3.0 V@53.0 AU@ (CL@)

Notice that before (CL@) it has

2 spaces

Here we have info only about version and not AU

EDIT3:------

Can you guys suggest me super high graphic games for my Nexus 5? I've tried DT2 on Ultra Settings no lag at all :) Blood & Glory NFSMW and RR3! I would like to know if there's a noob friendly tutorial of how to use this app. I've read a lot before posting this and Im quite confused. I purchased the app from the play store but I didn't get any download for plugins o.o

How can I play Horn THD? What are the most intense graphic games for my Adreno 330 and my CPU @ 2.8 Ghz? How can I download THD games legit and what does decompress recompression do :'( this app is quite new so I couldn't find an answer with my bff Google :) any help would be appreciated!

[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Been using the xda version for a while and decided to buy the full version to support development. The app is great and everything is working well for me however I still don't see that the CF3D packages are doing anything at all. I selected the TEX driver and am able to change fake GPU etc but I'm pretty sure that's a normal function of the TEX driver?
[Android Apps and Games] gothikserpent:
galaxy note 3 rooted kitkat 4.4.2 stock rom with busybox installed

At first the app would install the TEX plugins but when the phone rebooted and i relaunched the application I only had the option to re-download TEX again.I tried about 10 times but still wouldn't work.

I then installed TWRP to install it via recovery only to get stuck in a bootloop,i fixed the issue but now i have a new problem

when ever i try install the TEX plugins it says "error while creating backup!installation aborted, check your sd card"

i have un-installed to reinstall still no luck

I'm desperate for this app but and it's driving me insane lol
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
There's no meaning in putting chainfire3d plugins. They can't work with GLTool because they are incompatible.

The app checks this http://www.n0n3m4.ru/gltools/pluginlist and get's a valid plugin list.

If you hex edit it, you will see that only TEX (de)coder is currently on it. We have to wait for dev to open up an api first or make more.

All problems in installing are mostly made by incorrect applets. My config for example is all stock applets + non-existing by busybox.

Try also to just remount /system to RW and then install again

Just played horn version 1.3.2.6 with gl tools set for tegra 3 it works beautifully CTCaer if you are using version 1.3.2.7 can you tell me in obb what is the version of the obb? Mine in this version of the game is main.24.com.Phosphor.Horn.Paid.obb
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
it's 25. It's always the same with android:versionCode inside AndroidManifest.xml for Horn.

Btw in the end, 1.3.2.6 supports Tegra 4.

So I switched my profile to Tegra 4 and added GL_EXT_texture_compression_dxt5 to the extentions.

If this game really uses dxt5 for specific maps then it will benefit from it.

EDIT---

From screenshots I've taken it seems that the quality is the same for T3/T4 though

They probably just fixed it so it doesnt fallback to Tegra 2.

Thanks mate so that means my version is not tegra 4 friendlly :( On my note 3 adreno 330 the version on google play for me is 1.3.2.7 that means that is adreno/tegra 4 version huh I will have to wait until pay day (god knows when) to buy the right version

on my XPlay when i install gltools it gives me only 2 plugins, "default(plugin does nothing...) and second one "TEX"(but i can't tick any of these, when i tap on it, nothing happens, than i just tap instal and phone rebooted, i changed some of settings of fifa 12 and tried it out, it has 30 fps, just the same fps before trying gltools, that means that gltools does nothing for my games, how can i fix it ?
[Android Apps and Games] m@ximum:
Works fine on my Galaxy Tab 2(CM11), playing Blood Sword THD(working without plugin), and Demon Score THD(need TEX plugin otherwise just black screen and music).
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
No need for that. As I said this game falls to 2nd category. It uses versions to distinguish gpu compatibility.

After Phosphor took back the game development from zynga they release 3 new versions.

1.3.2.5 is PowerVR. Uses PVRTC textures

1.3.2.6 is Tegra. Uses DXT textures

1.3.2.7 is Adreno. Uses ATC textures

Missing the new Mali. Uses ETC textures

I checked PVR vs Tegra, The tegra package has bigger lighting packages (311mb) than powervr (71). Even the level packages are bigger in tegra versions.

So we can safely assume that yeah it's fully optimized for tegra and also has the best graphics there.

Pvrtc textures are way better than DXT1 though. With ATC textures also being in the same pvrtc category, maybe even better.

So you with a device spoofer on Tegra 3/4, you will download 1.3.2.6 from play store.

I'll check adreno obb also and see what's the difference. By the way the apks are the same. The only change is AndroidManifest that has different gl-supports for textures.

Tegra:

<supports-gl-texture android:name="GL_EXT_texture_compression_dxt5" />
<supports-gl-texture android:name="GL_EXT_texture_compression_dxt1" />

PowerVR:

<supports-gl-texture android:name="GL_OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture" />

I will try and compare adreno version but I'm pretty sure that the tegra will still be the best on graphics quality as they didn't change anything,

but support 4.3/4.4 android.

Blooed sword THD doesn't check what gpu you have. GLTools system-wide config enables DXT/S3TC textures by default.

In Demon score you also need to fake the gpu.
[Android Apps and Games] PunkOz:
Wow man you're helping everyone in this thread :o so nice :)

I looked around the web but couldn't figure out how to edit my build prop to nvidia tegra shield, i don't know the exact lines i have to edit or what to type for play store to let me download horn thd.

Do you know how can i try the thd version? I just purchased the game :)

Thanks in advance!

Btw: you should make a thread with a tutorial of how to use gltools and what each option does :) this is a sick tool that im sure not many people know about this tool and they would love to have it and learn how to use it!

Edit: I just finished dling the game and I have the .25 version and whenever I enable fake gpu to tegra or any other, the app just fc's and won't let me open at all
[Android Apps and Games] sephkateno:
Yeah but I tried downloading the obb files from another source had the number 12 instead of 24 and version 1.3.2.6 wouldn't see the obb files then I found the right obb files (24) and it matched even tried renaming the obb files to 24 but it didn't work so can you send me the android manifest from your version 1.3.2.7 (if that isn't warez of course not sure) or tell me what do I need to change in the android manifest to make the app exactly like version 1.3.2.7? I really want to have tegra 4 visuals...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

Nice idea, it could be done here and it could be added in the OP also... It will be better to have all the info in one place.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] sephkateno:
Version 25 of the obb files with version 1.3.2.7 apk and with fake gpu set to tegra 4 and you get fc???
[Android Apps and Games] CTCaer:
v25 aka 1.3.2.7 is for adreno. just to make sure can you open the obb file with zip and tell me what folder CookedAndroid_xxx has files?

Anyway it will not work for fake Tegra profiles, that's certain.

Again the Tegra 2,3,4 version is 1.3.2.6. There are no tegra 4 visuals. They are exactly the same with Tegra 3.

They just updated the app to recognise Tegra 4 and use Tegra 3 visuals instead of Tegra 2

Yeah there's no need for multiple thread. This is the main thread for GLTools.

Read above.

Hi,

About this issue and question below, here's the reply from the dev:

It's a know problem, the dev is trying to fix it...

"It's a nice idea (about framelimiter), but upscaling->downscaling won't be implemented (because MSAA/CSAA is the better choice for that and I'm not sure that upscaling is possible)".

Second thing could someone with a Tegra 4 device give the /proc/cpuinfo here (all there is in the file or if it's a folder, all the files inside). I you are convenient with the cat command in terminal you can do this and post here the output (but if cpuinfo is a folder you'll need the file inside cpuinfo-> /proc/cpuinfo/***** to use the cat command).

But maybe it's better to upload the whole file(s) here...

Thanks :)

Problem with this

I don't know why but since i started using Gltools after one day, the google play stops working normaly, the problem is when i donwload something from google play it doesn't make the download it don't even starts, i only got the normal blue bar when a aplication is downloading, but it don't start the download.

Also if i unistal gltools and clean the cache of the google play app, it returns to normal and i can download again from the store, i just want to report this, it's a bug on the aplication i think...does anyone have the same problem? any solution?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

@ TheEvolution_PT, maybe some of your settings in GLTools?

Because with GLTools installed and nothing set (just the app installed , nothing more) I have no issue with the Play Store...
