Unless Your app use Transfor Feedback (geometry computed on GPU are send back to CPU), You wont see difference 1fps gain would be thx to better raster discard (stuff that wont be put on screen do not have to be computed more), but that was minor tweak, judging from increase (assuming You did not hit VSYNC barrier).

All the other stuff is just "fix this fix that".

And if somebody root to swap it, then swapping kernel for custom is no brainier thing to do (and then changing GPU governors, which will sacrifice battery time for perf, since Qualcom is a bit conservative there).

But that is just theory, so take it as You like.

hi all.

one question please, if i install a actualization of my rom or change my kernel, i ll need reflash the drivers? thanks
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Yes, you will need to reflash them each time you flash a rom, unless your rom update or new rom includes them..

If you flash a kernel no need to reflash them, it's not kernel related.

Works fine on CM11, htc one, adreno 320.

Not compatible with Sense 5.5 4.4.2 though.
[Nexus 5 General] hanschke:
anyone knows how to check if a newer cm11 nightly got the driver included?
[Nexus 5 General] kronflux:
for future notice: http://www.cmxlog.com/11/hammerhead/

gives a rough idea of what's in each build, and the upcoming build.

But for this specific question - probably not. The Adreno drivers released are a -Developer Preview-, it would not make sense for CyanogenMod to include this in a release build, or even a pre-release build, as the drivers are not yet considered stable or ready for day to day public use or release.

If there are specific issues these drivers fix, the CyanogenMod team may put out some experimental class builds, but I imagine they will not be included until they are released with OTA Android updates.

(obviously if someone thinks I'm wrong, or knows the info I've posted is incorrect, please correct me. I'm going by assumption based on my current knowledge)

Hi,

If Qualcomm made like this, maybe there's a reason, don't you think...? :D

The flashable zip file in the OP is the one extracted from the zip from Qualcomm... You can verify by yourself by downloading the whole file here: https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/adreno200-hammerhead-kot49h.zip (scroll down) and check the location of the files by extracting the flashable zip (adreno200-hammerhead-kot49h.zip/Adreno200-hammerhead-KOT49H/UPDATE-adreno-drivers-hammerhead.zip). All the files are in the right location unless Qualcomm made a big mistake :silly: :laugh:

[Nexus 5 General] carluchok:
Thanks! :D
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yes, these drivers are not on the kernel side... it's on the "rom" side. So whatever the kernel you use, you can flash them. But as always a Nandroid backup is always better even if there is a revert zip.

And before you ask lol, if your custom rom has these drivers included, check the feature list/changelog. But since it's for "developers preview only" (dixit Qualcomm) and there is this flashable zip I doubt that any rom include them...

:)

Hi,

Seriously... did you read the OP???

There is a zip to restore drivers back to stock...

And where is your Nandroid backup??? First thing to do when you flash this kind of stuff..., if something goes wrong, restore your backup and all is fine again in less than 5 minutes, like reading the OP download and flash the restore zip...

The latest drivers are bad,thry give much lower performance than stock 4.4.2 drivers.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

The interesting thing should be to know where you lost 1 000 points in Antutu...

The drivers affects only the 3D/2D scores (2D not sure because I have always the same score for example with the original or since the two driver updates).

So don't say you lose 1 000 points on the overall score if the points lost are about something else than the graphic score...

If you lost 1 000 points for the 3D part, there is something wrong...

Take also in consideration the slight fluctuation between the different runs.

Better is to use a bench app dedicated to the 3D/2D test only.

:)
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
... and even better thing to do is uninstall these benchmark apps and base your results on day to day usage :)
[Nexus 5 General] howard bamber:
I do base on day to day my phones full of apps I take an average rating of 5 runs. Sometimes I get texts Dury run. I keep an eye on opening speeds. Deodexed roms are slower That's a fact. Qualcom bionic patches work as they are made for the chip. Google ban them as they are not open source.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Better is to test and see by yourself or read the changelog I posted if you see (or understand) something interesting for you?

I flashed them a few hours ago, no side effects, but I have not playing games or run benches yet...

In general UI, maybe placebo, maybe not but these ones seem better than the others.

Make a Nandroid backup, test, if something is wrong for you then restore your backup. Leave feedback here to help all the other users who was wondering the same question as you.

EDIT:

About bench, I tested only Antutu (only for the 3D part, obvioulsy) and it gives a bit higher score. Before it was about 9 500, now about 9 700, even 9 800..., tested with 4 runs.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Nothing interesting to see here unless you show at least the GPU part...

They are GPU drivers so they won't affect anything else than the 3D part (or maybe also the 2D part, but in Antutu they never changed, at least for me).

Better is to run only the GPU part, the rest is useless...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zigguratt:
Here's the issue: I have a N7 2013 LTE which I've unlocked/rooted. I've enabled SMS and installed the Google Dialer. Everything works well; I can send/receive SIP calls via the dialer and I can even answer calls with my Bluetooth headset because the SIP calls received by the Google dialer are perceived as actual phone calls by Android.

This falls apart when I want to use a third-party SIP/VoIP app. I can answer native SIP calls with my Bluetooth headset (a double-tap on the headset for the Jawbone ERA), but can't do so with a third-party app. I'm guessing that's because calls answered by the Google dialer are seen as real phone calls whereas those answered by a third-party app are media events, so the Bluetooth headset isn't notified of an incoming call. This even happens with CSipSimple set to integrate with the native dialer.

CSipSimple is a great app, but it suffers the fate of any app when left in memory too long: it gets kicked out. I can watch the SIP registration status at my SIP provider's website while CSipSimple is running in the background. CSipSimple stays registered for a while, then the status switches to disconnected. If I disable CSipSimple, the native dialer registers with my SIP provider and stays registered.

Can anyone confirm or deny any of this? Is there a way to have a third-party SIP/VoIP app act like the Google dialer? Or am I stuck with the native dialer?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zigguratt:
Huh. Currently 117 views and nobody has an answer. :)

The Google dialer is fine, albeit a bit ugly, but it doesn't do landscape amongst other things. It would be great if I could replace it with CSipSimple or one of the many other SIP apps out there. I know I can use any app I like, but the issues in my first post preclude me from doing that. The native dialer stays registered with my SIP provider at all times. It also works well with my Bluetooth headset, allowing me to answer calls without having to touch my N7.

Anyone?

[Android Apps and Games] Jubakuba:
This app allows you to create shortcuts for any system setting on your device.

Basic actions are also available to toggle a few things. These basic actions currently include:

Toggle Quiet Hours

Toggle Rotation Lock

Toggle Unlimited Screen Timeout

Toggle Active Display

Advanced users!

Change any checkbox preference, list preference, or color preference for your ROM that has a system setting link.

For example:

https://github.com/AOKP/frameworks_base/blob/kitkat/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

https://github.com/omnirom/android_...-4.4/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...10.2/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/...jb43/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

Here lie some settings projects with values you can use if you're running these respective ROMs.

The "Advanced Shortcut" will ask for a few inputs. For example:

"quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? Yes.

And each click will cycle the setting on/off.

Or, you can input "quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? No > 1

To turn the setting ON no matter what state it's in.

Currently, SECURE settings are unsupported for KitKat

Only SYSTEM settings will be accepted.

SECURE settings can be modified if you have root access on Android 4.3 and lower.

Special thanks to Stericson for his RootTools library:

https://github.com/Stericson/RootTools

A donate version is available via the Play Store. Currently both versions are the same.

Recent Changes:

===2.2.1===

-AOKP Color settings fix

-ICS (4.0) support

===2.2.0===

-Small AOKP Settings Table Check to grant access to only applicable settings

-Screen Timeout now accepts two values (set both to the same if you want ONE action)

-Active Display Toggle for ROMs that support it

===2.0.0===

-AOKP Settings Table Support!

===1.2===

-Check Developer Options before Advanced Shortcuts

-Add Quiet Hours Toggle

-Add Rotation Lock Toggle

-Add Screen Timeout Toggle

(Toggle between user-picked 15/30 seconds / 1/2/5/10/30 minutes and UMLIMITED screen timeout)

===1.1.1===

Secure Settings for JellyBean and below

Thanks buddy.

Practically. Minus Secure Settings (KitKat).

Plus aokp's settings table integration.

The additional toggles are rewritten as well to use publicly documented APIs and, again, integrate with AOKP's settings table.

So...slightly less powerful than the Chamber.

Even more so once the chamber integrates with the custom tiles to create settings resolvers.

Thanks.
