If you say "ported" then there need to be some changes in the driver's source code to make it compatible with other devices. But what's provided from Qualcomm are just binary files so it cannot be "ported" - at least not by people here at XDA.
[Nexus 5 General] slayer of worlds:
It's closed source
[Nexus 5 General] Howdareme:
I didnt actually mean the word port in that sense and the drivers work with adreno 3x0 gpu's nnot just the nexus 4, 5 and 7.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
That still rules out moto g...

3x0 may be 320 or 330 but not definately 305
[Nexus 5 General] Howdareme:
No its been tested on 305 and it works
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Thats good mate ;) enjoy.:cool:
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Some people just want to brick their device.. Smh lol
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Tested by whom? Official testing has only been done on Nexus devices and only on KK 4.4.2.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Tested by people willing to take the pointless risk of bricking their device ;)

If anyone wants to flash these on a device other then specified, then you are stupid and risk bricking your device permanently.
[Nexus 5 General] Howdareme:
Not official but it also works on moto g and ofc other adreno 3x0 devices
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Perhaps you should ask the people who did the testing how they installed. I think it's been made clear that you won't find what you're looking for here.
[Nexus 5 General] innovat0r:
Hi,

I am on latest 4.4.4 android version with custom ROM - rastakat + trinity kernel on my nexus 5. Is it good for me to flash this mod? is this not included in roms or android updates? and what changes i can see if i flash it?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
I guess you didn't read the first page.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Running it on S5 with touchwiz and cm11. Both zips modded by me :)
[Nexus 5 General] ClassicEnergy:
How can I install these drivers on nexus 5 rooted stock rom?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Flash in recovery..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
.... Or via Flashify App if you don't keep a custom recovery installed at all times like me. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
This is something new for me ;) didnt knew about it (thought of it bt never cared to search :p)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I've had Flashify installed for 5 months.. haven't actually had to use it once LOL :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Same thing here. I just keep it there for a backup method. Or when I felt lazy and didn't want to flash Franco kernel test images manually..lmao
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I prefer doing it manually if I can :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Indeed. Just when I'm out on the road and can't use a PC, and stuff like that. :P
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I have a 2 year warranty from LG and a retailer so I don't fancy my chances of getting a warranty claimed with an unlocked bootloader.. So after I'm done with modding/updating, I lock up the bootloader (via bootunlocker app) and flash the stock recovery (via flashify).

I update my rom once a week and flashify / Bootunlocker app come handy a lot! :D

If google did cover my warranty though, I would have certainly left the bootloader like that at all times. I did a mistake of not buying my Nexus 5 from the playstore... Didn't research much about the warranty offered ^_^ Ahh well, what's done is done. :cyclops:

Coming back to topic in hand.. WTH is Qualcomm doing :p they have spoiled us by giving beta updates each month and they really shouldn't be doing this now! uugghh.. It's been like 40+ days since the last update. :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Makes me glad I bought mine off the Play Store. :p

And yep, guess they ran into some issues (or they forgot) :angel:

Qualcomm pls
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I had gotten my 32GB White Nexus 5 from the Play Store in November, BUT I also purchased a 2 year warranty from SquareTrade which is paid monthly. Really good idea IMHO, you pay a 100$ deductible or so, and get a flat out replacement, REGARDLESS if you modified any of the software on the phone or not, or if it was your fault or not.

Yeah, I must admit Qualcomm is taking their sweet time. Wonder if it has something to do with Android L.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Sounds more like insurance from SquareTrade, than warranty. :p

I doubt it's to do with L, didn't people say it worked fine on it?
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
It does work fine, but Qualcomm is probably doing something related to L.

And actually, haha it is REALLY insurance but they call it a warranty.

Well, I did it an hour ago... Got up at 5.30, took my dog for a walk, downloaded, flashed via flashify :D felt awesome even though it doesn't seem to make any difference than the previous version =)) ahh well.. We're spoilt.

Thanks Qualcomm! :silly:

Woke up and saw it, used Flashify because I, well, just woke up :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Saw someone in this threw mention the update, so I logged in Qualcomm website, downloaded & uploaded them here. Still haven't flashed. :p

Will this work for the L preview?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I had two random reboots after installing new gpu drivers on PA with codeblue kernel. If anyone's willing to know what's the cause, i will provide dmesg and last_kmsg logs :p
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Works fine here with no reboots, are you sure the drivers are the cause of it? It doesn't matter what ROM/kernel you're using when flashing these as they're hardware drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I never had reboots before. So, i'm positive that this might be the reason. Only two random reboots and now its fine. Anyways, here's the last_kmesg log http://pastebin.com/2NQ3KYht. Its showing no errors detected in the log.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
If it's just two I wouldn't be worried, if it keeps happening again and again then I would. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Yeah, really nothing to worry about it after all. Lets see if someone else comes up with "help, random reboots, screw qualcomm" kinda posts :D
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
More likely to see these: "will this work on x", "how to revert", "brick pls help", because people don't know how to search ;)

No one has complained so far so it's probably a ROM/kernel derp. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
The last one did, so it's fair to think that this one will too. That being said, download is sitting on my as card til I see more feedback lol[emoji41]
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
What feedback do you need mate? :eek: Flash it and forget it! Not a single reboot for me since yesterday. These are hardware drivers and don't depend completely on the OS version.
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
True, I know, but I always have that concern in the deep dark recesses of my mind, that I will be that one guy who's phone went thermal nuclear after flashing something new lol. Your right though [emoji41] ( sorry for run on sentence but at work, and hadn't had enough coffee yet)[emoji106]
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You can always make a backup anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
True. I forgot that we could back up preview ( face palm) like I said, not enough coffee. [emoji4]
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
The new drivers are working flawlessly on 4.4.4 Rastakat and so does Android L.
[Nexus 5 General] hotweiss:
These new drivers make a difference. My phone feels more responsive and there now is no lag in Clash Of Clans.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Good to hear! :D

Seriously? You were facing lags in a game like clash of clans? :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] hotweiss:
When panning, there was a half a second delay before the screen panned.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
I've read the op, but I just wanted to be sure about flashing this on my Nexus 7.

Okay, so, is it okay to flash this on my Nexus 7 (2013) ??? BTW, this has improved the performance of my Nexus 5 greatly! Thanks! Great work!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Pretty sure the Nexus 7 drivers are separate. There's an N7 thread, search for it.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] laofan:
Just new to PA rom and wanted to flash this driver. The other user reported reboot twice. I am more concerned about what really make difference after flashing this driver on PA rom.

Thank you and we all see you have helped quite some people here.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Mostly just bug fixes/performance optimizations in some games. Hardly affects general usage.
[Nexus 5 General] Maramu:
No reboots for me whatsoever.

Tapatalked from my SlimKat N5
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Okay, I can officially confirm that this works very well with the Nexus 7 (2013). Tested! Smoothie smooth. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Well they release a separate zip for the Nexus 7 and it has its own thread in the N7 section lol. Don't know why you're still posting here xD
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Because I'm natively here via my Nexus 5 and the fact that the op states that this works for the Nexus 4 5 and 7 (2013)

I don't want to post off topic comments anymore so good day m8te!
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
But the Nexus 5 drivers are separate for the 4 and 7 :p :silly:

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665832 ??

When you download the official zip from Qualcomm there's two zips. One for the N5 and the other is for the N4 and N7.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Thank you so very much!
[Nexus 5 General] chikimonke:
I know that the Oneplus One isn't officially support, but that people had been using these drivers anyway. On previous versions I believe they broke the camera, anyone here tried on an OPO and can confirm if the camera breaks or not?
[Nexus 5 General] caspboy:
if your phone has the same gpu it should work, but saying your camera is breaking I wouldn't recommend flashing. It seems your GPU hardware is similar to the N5's BUT obviously not the same so these drivers could work irregular on your device, which is harmful to the hardware.

I say flash at your own risk and make a backup;)
[Nexus 5 General] gamerman123x:
Using latest drivers they work really nice I actually feel a performance boost kinda after flashing great work Qualcomm
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I've felt absolutely no difference regarding performance with these drivers. Bug fixes, yes, performance, no.
[Nexus 5 General] gamerman123x:
Ohh well since I used ROM without updated drivers than flashed after and it felt better haven't used old previous drivers than flash these I just flashed the new update after installing rom well could differ from user to user
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Could be. But could also be placebo. I flash these because they fix bugs I've had issues with. Most others flash it just to be "updated" lol.
[Nexus 5 General] gamerman123x:
Yea and I would be one of the people just to flash to be updated :p, and ya maybe placebo but ohh well along as the users are happy with them then its good.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
After flashing the first release, I was skeptical, no performance boost. But after flashing the latest release, things are noticeably smoother with a speed bump when opening apps and multitasking.

I'm an huge skeptic! I agree with you bro.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Any lag to do with opening apps/recents panel isn't due to GPU drivers lol. No difference.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Thanks, but you're wrong ? are you saying animation and transitions of overall system have nothing to do with GPU? GPU has nothing to do with the smoothness of the animation of the multitasking function within Android?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Animation maybe. But entering recents itself no. The animation has always been fine for me.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Certainly it does. I'm sorry, maybe I need to rephrase this...animations when transitioning within the Android operating system is most definitely smoother.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Maybe for some I guess. No difference to me aside from bugs being fixed. Probably varies from one to another.
[Nexus 5 General] LOVE ME PLEASE:
I here ya! I'm more of an rather bugs be fixed type of guy myself and I'm pleased with whatever good Qualcomm has to offer my device. By any means, what gives? Why is Qualcomm focusing on older devices? This sounds like to me that Qualcomm is now focusing on the most important part of hardware, optimization! ???
[Nexus 5 General] Digidice:
Do i need to reinstall them after i flash nightly rom`s ?
[Nexus 5 General] Digidice:
Ok, Thanks :good:
[Nexus 5 General] sjknight413:
Has anybody extensively tested these on the latest L preview? Do they work okay?
[Nexus 5 General] synkus:
After flashing new drivers my phone uses considerably less battery in deep sleep
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
The GPU isn't used in deep sleep..? You probably just had fewer wakelocks. Nothing to do with these.
[Nexus 5 General] synkus:
May be coincidence, but noticeable :D
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
And definitely not because of these drivers :p
[Nexus 5 General] thor1k:
I can't queue more than one flash at once which is annoying and why I never use it.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Plus you're limited to 3 items to flash per day unless you buy the full version. Which is why I don't use it. :p
[Nexus 5 General] bmakk2055:
Is there a app I can use to check my driver version?
[Nexus 5 General] aaa12585:
Will these drivers be implemented with ROMs/Kernels? Have they already been implemented? If so, which Roms/Kernels?

What version of KitKat is this driver compatible with?

What exactly is the point of having these drivers if they're not finished?

Is there going to be a time where these drivers will be finalized?

Please explain this to me. I don't understand why we're jumping on a bandwagon of incomplete drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] gamerman123x:
[MENTION=5029090]aaa12585[/MENTION] That's why we are here to test and report bugs these drivers might have to get perfection on the final release. Should be compatable with all versions of kitkat, and these are hardware drivers have nothing to do with kernels and you might have to ask your ROM dev if he wants to implement and its up to you to flash these drivers some users including me report good feedback some not it up to you and at your own risk if you do choose to use theese. [emoji2]
[Nexus 5 General] chikimonke:
Just an FYI, the newest drivers still break the OPO camera :(
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
That's because the drivers aren't made for that device. Why are people with that phone even flashing them?
[Nexus 5 General] chikimonke:
Oh I'm aware, but it's the same gpu, so the hope had been they would work. The camera seems to be the only issue though.
[Nexus 5 General] Circaflex:
Maybe he is using the poo camera apk on an n5
[Nexus 5 General] chikimonke:
Nope, OPO hardware running Slim with OPO camera. It was just wishful thinking/hoping.
[Nexus 5 General] dhalham:
Has anyone tried this on cm11 and noticed a boost?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Just because it uses the same GPU doesn't mean it'll work on a device it was not intended for.

[Nexus 5 General] Clienterror:
Yea I agree, which is also why ART doesn't seem to make a huge difference in the N5 but on the N4 and N7 it makes a pretty noticeable difference.
[Nexus 5 General] drawde40599:
No coincidence , the latest drivers on Stock IMG are pretty noticeable . I always try the latest and greatest Hack , mod , patch , crap ..... And I never keep them installed more than few days because they usually create more issues than there worth ( lag here studded there ..) but these latest GPU drivers are pretty nice . I have two N5's running identically and I can tell what one has the new drivers pretty quick .

I'm highly into tweaking for speed and Crossbreeder doesn't make a difference. Entropy doesn't really work and drains battery. Dnsmasq tweaks can cause issues with tethering.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yeah, that sort of stuff only (maybe) works on low-end/legacy devices. On high-end flagships such as the Nexus 5, it'll do almost nothing, placebo if you actually think it helps. Waste of battery/CPU usage if anything. There is zero reason you would need such things on the Nexus 5. :p

Hi,

Yes, obviously unless in a future update of the rom the news drivers will be included...

:)

It's a zip file...

Open the one from Qualcomm "adreno200-hammerhead-kot49h.zip" then "Adreno200-hammerhead-KOT49H" folder file and extract the "UPDATE-adreno-drivers-hammerhead.zip" zip file... you will see it's exactly the same size and it's exactly the same files...

Its a crime to share these zips on XDA, 99% of the users don't know what they are doing, half od those 99% will cry about "omg benchs are not changed, plx fix" and the other half will ask if it makes their device sing.
