Lag/Jitters doesn't always mean a hardware limitation. It can be caused due to poorly coded apps/games which gameloft often do. One of their updates to Asphalt 8 screwed up the game on our Nexus 5's so much that it was unplayable at times. However, later they updated it and with the combination of the latest qualcomm drivers, everything is buttery smooth :D
[Nexus 5 General] huwande1acruz:
Does anyone have stock driver? Seem the link on the op is not available.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Even I don't have the link to it. If you want to roll back, you can just dirty flash your rom.zip as it would overwrite the new drivers and replace them with the old one. :)
[Nexus 5 General] ZoNe_dk:
Sideload?

Can we use "adb sideload .zip" to flash the new driver on a stock and locked Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] Fluidification:
if it's flashable, it can be sideloaded
[Nexus 5 General] ZoNe_dk:
I just try to flash whit sideload and got a rerror so it's not flashabel :(
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Completely stock? It's my understanding that stock recovery only installs signed packages, so at the very least you need a custom recovery. You can boot into a custom recovery without actually flashing it. There's guides around here somewhere.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Stock recovery can only flash the ota zips.. All adb commands/zips won't work. You need a custom recovery to flash the zip or if you have root, you could try flashing with the flasify app. (Not tried it though).

GPU Drivers Update! 24-6-2014

There's a new update from Qualcomm for our device! You can flash the zip via recovery. It's officially tested with KOT49H but should work with KTU84P and others as well! ;)

Download:

Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dx0suyao5bnps84/UPDATE-adreno-drivers-hammerhead.zip

Dev-Host: http://d-h.st/Hk8

NOTE and CHANGELOG:

NOTE: This driver update was formally tested with Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H). It is likely, but not guaranteed, to work with Android 4.4.4 (KTU84P). The July release will be formally tested with KTU84P.

Return CL_INVALID_MEM_OBJECT in clReleaseMemObj() as per spec.

Improve performance for WebXPRT benchmark.

Eliminate unnecessary resolves when invalidating FBO attachments to improve performance.
[Nexus 5 General] roydondsa:
Flashed it right away working perfect

working perfect...
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Working perfectly on KTU84P as well ;)

[MENTION=5645126]caspboy[/MENTION] You think you could please update the OP with the latest release, thank you in advance!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I had PM'd him the last the I updated my links.. But I haven't heard back from him.. He's most probably busy.
[Nexus 5 General] SirArtorias:
One question... ¿Does someone know when will Google oficially update the graphic Drivers via OTA or whatever?

With the current official drivers there is a glitch in wich under certain conditions, the image is flipped 90º.

This is the case when using Gles2Glide64 in the Mupen64 emulator (which turns out to be the only capable of running Majora's Mask and some other games) I also heard it happens when using Dolphin emulator.

I contacted Qualcomm support and they said that was a known issue with Nexus 4, 5 7 and some other devices, that was fixed in the new drivers (several months before), but that the didnt know when would Google include them in an oficiall update...

I confirmed this, b/c some friends flashed the drivers in this thread, and the glitch was gone... but I have an unrooted device, so I waited for the OTAS

Since then, I updated 4.4.3 and now 4.4.4 and the problem is still there... Should I expect them to be included in the next major update, or will the updated drivers never reach the majority of users via official ways?... :eek:

All these zips are monthly betas released by Qualcomm which aren't stable (according to them). So, when they will release the stable version, I guess google will add those in their updates. No one knows when that time will come though. Lol.

[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I wouldn't hold my breath. If you want the new drivers, I'd root otherwise it looks like it may be awhile.
[Nexus 5 General] THE_KINGDOM:
Is this the newest version? OP not updated
[Nexus 5 General] kingy9000:
Yes

Yes, it is the newest version that has been released by Qualcomm on June 24th. The OP hasn't been updated yet because the poster is most likely busy.

Is there a revert zip for KTU84P?
[Nexus 5 General] [No_CoDE]:
Hi everyone

Can someone tell if this update can work in a stock root rom or its only for custom roms...

I have twrp for custom recovery but the update fail to install.

Thank u

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Works for any ROM. Make sure you're flashing the right file, it's here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53670755&postcount=507

If it fails to flash there's something wrong with your recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] Thepho3nix:
Will this drivers work con moto X, or they're only for s800 and A320?
[Nexus 5 General] [No_CoDE]:
Thank u so much, after you comfirm work with all the roms i try again and i see i forget to disable zip verication.. After i disable the verification everything work well.

Thank u

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Only meant for the Nexus 5. It's been successfully flashed on other devices with the same SoC but the this thread is only meant for discussing them on the Nexus 5. The Moto X has different hardware, so no.
[Nexus 5 General] Thepho3nix:
Thanks a lot !
[Nexus 5 General] [No_CoDE]:
Thanks after check everything i forget to disable zip verification.

Nope. If you want to revert, just dirty flash the stock 4.4.4 rom and you're good to go.
[Nexus 5 General] der_sascha:

[Nexus 5 General] micha.omfg:
did any1 try it with android 4.4.4?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It works fine
[Nexus 5 General] der_sascha:

[Nexus 5 General] linuxxp:
It works great with 4.4.4.
[Nexus 5 General] drigz08:
Isn't N5's GPU Adreno 330 not 320?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Yes. Just a typo or error in the OP. It's been brought up before. No worries.
[Nexus 5 General] Bronto9:
Has anyone tried them with android L?
[Nexus 5 General] JLO155:
Yes. Works fine.
[Nexus 5 General] definator:
I would like to know that too

Because the l driver seems not to run at best performance in games
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
"L" is not a consumer release and you should not take it as such. Its a developer preview. It should work, "L" has the same old stock drivers as KK, like v52 or something, didn't note the exact number.
[Nexus 5 General] Drizwaldo1:
I have flashed to L and have not yet encountered any issue.
[Nexus 5 General] Meowdib:
Default driver links don't work
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
That's because the OP isn't active and hasn't updated them yet. To get back to old drivers, dirty flash your current rom. If you're on stock rom then dirty flash vomer's stock rooted rom.
[Nexus 5 General] ACastanza:
For anyone curious, the information for the drivers from L:
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
What order is your date on, DD/MM or MM/DD? The ones in L are a lower version number.
[Nexus 5 General] ACastanza:
Month-Day-Year. Otherwise that would read that they were built in July... Which isn't exactly possible.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Oops, wasn't thinking, ignore that. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Tweakyth13f:
Just flashed the latest June 24th build on L, works fine and actually fixes some graphical slowdowns I was having, makes L all that much nicer.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
We know it works, and L wouldn't make a difference anyways, its not like it magically changes the hardware..
[Nexus 5 General] projectvomit:
Works on CarbonRom. Trying on L now.
[Nexus 5 General] neriamarillo:
Flashes fine on L.
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
So guys do you see some changes in daily use with this drivers?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It's only fixes/optimized performance in some graphical intensive apps (mostly games).

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Works on any ROM regardless as it's drivers for this specific device/chipset, not for a specific ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] Telomir:
yo

Do you flash these via adb sideload <new_gpu.zip> or do you have to use fastboot to flash? Which files? or is it the zip itself
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Flash in recovery
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You can sideload from a custom recovery or copy the zip to your device and flash via a custom recovery. Just the zip itself! "UPDATE-adreno-drivers-hammerhead.zip"
[Nexus 5 General] Telomir:
Thank you so much!
[Nexus 5 General] infatality:
May I know what's the exact string you type on terminal to have the output.. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:

How do I flash this drivers?

Adb returns footer is wrong.
[Nexus 5 General] käsebr0t:
Just boot into recovery and flash the zip.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
One question the files stays on the phone after of dirty flash the rom?

And after flashing how we are sure if we have flash correctly? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
No dirty flashing will replace the drivers with the ones in the ROM. You will need to flash these again.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You need to flash them again after every dirty flash.

You can check whether it's properly updated or not by running this command in terminal:

cd /system/vendor/lib/egl && strings libEGL* | grep Date

[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
The terminal says 20/6/14 Fri. But the zip say 24/6

Now I flash another zip 3-4 pages back 10mb bigger than the other on first page but again on terminal is the same date.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
The zips which I have provided have come straight from qualcomm and I updated the date to 24/6 as it was mentioned on their website. This doesn't mean that the drivers were compiled on 24/6 itself. They must have been compiled on 20th June, tested internally and then released to the public on 24th June!

Hope this clears the confusion? :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Should name the .zips after the compilation date to reduce confusion lol. I just compare md5s
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah. Good idea. But what I don't get is why do people go such lengths to find out the date?? :eek:

If you've flashed it without the recovery throwing errors, it means the flash was successful. No reason to compare the dates or anything.

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
That's what I don't get either, but oh well some people are just like that I guess.

[Nexus 5 General] Clauu:
So where are these drivers, in rom or kernel?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you're asking where these files are flashed? Then the answer is "ROM". Changing kernels won't affect them. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Clauu:
Ok thanks, so instead of flashing the whole rom there is no zip with only stock drivers?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Nope. You don't need to clean flash the rom. A dirty flash would do the job. You won't loose any data by dirty flashing. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
What gpu drivers come with L release?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
I forget which date exactly. Search, it's been answered quite a few times already. The newest release from Qualcomm website is newer than what's in the L preview. They're still old. Probably will get a new stable version once Android L is officially released.

Yes, you can clearly see a difference while gaming! :)

Can i flash the zip downloaded from qualcomm site?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

It's the same files in the link above as the one in download provided by Aiko0923 on Dev-Host...

But if you want the one from Qualcomm you need to open the "adreno200-hammerhead-kot49h.zip" file and extract the "UPDATE-adreno-drivers-hammerhead.zip" zip file...

But in any case both are exactly the same at the end so...

:)

yes, why not? ;)

Asphalt 8 fc after flashing,can't tell if it was last night's game update or the flashed binaries..have to rollback and check..

[Nexus 5 General] prstorero:
You can dirty flash the ROM to overwrite them.

[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
confirmed Asphalt 8 FC's with the new drivers. Tested a few other games everything else seems fine.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Like it has been said dirty flash your current rom (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache partition) then you won't loose anything and the original files will be replaced.

But when you flash these kind of stuff the best is to do a backup in recovery, just in case...

:)

EDIT: ok you're on full stock, so you know what to do... :D
[Nexus 5 General] LayZ85:
I'll look into the stock image and try to extract the binaries and make a flashable zip out of it...

BTW why do the zips on the QC site differbin size than the one posted in the OP?
[Nexus 5 General] VacTacks11:
Has anyone been able to compare the two?

I've seen some numbers after flashing, but not a comparison of before and after.

New drivers are great, but if they really don't do anything, I dunno, why bother?

Will it work on stock rom and locked bootloader?

Only thing I've done that can be classified as "technical" is updating the phone via adb.

You only need a custom recovery. You can simply boot a custom recovery in fastboot (not unlocking the bootloader; erasing data) and flash it there

Sarcasm Detected

I am not sure if you realized but XDA user [MENTION=4681015]Ben36[/MENTION] was being sarcastic when he made the following statement:

Using these new GPU Drivers has had no negative effect on battery life for many users (including me) and I may say that it might have improved it but that could be a placebo. :p
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
My guess would be a slight increase in battery if the GPU doesn't have to work so hard
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
It doesn't require root. However, a custom recovery is required to flash the zip.

You can't "fastboot boot" into a recovery if the bootloader is locked. An unlocked bootloader is required to do that!:)

Theres one small bug that annoyed me in last months drivers, hope it got fixed :D
[Nexus 5 General] stangri:
I'm having a problem with PvZ2 and Google's native Camera app crashing frequently and I suspect it's because of these new GPU drivers. Has anyone else experienced same problems?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Camera app is fine for me.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
I'm pretty sure that would be more widely reported if that was the case. Are you using a device that these are not specifically for?
[Nexus 5 General] stangri:
Using it on N5. The problems started when I went to Android L, then I came back (full factory images flash) to 4.4.4r2 and flashed those drivers on top. PvZ2 still crashes pretty much constantly and Camera app occasionally. I hoped I wouldn't have to flash factory images again, but looks like the dirty flash to just get rid of the GPU drivers wouldn't help.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If dirty flashing didn't help, it means that the drivers aren't the reason behind the constant crashing of camera app as the old drivers get written again when /system is flashed. Did you do a clean wipe before coming back to 4.4.4??
[Nexus 5 General] ol@fson:
Might that r2 version be the culprit?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Nope. It's just patches the radio which has nothing to do with camera app or the game.

[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Sadly, that's pretty common with programming lol. I'm sure they intended to release in July, but fixing one bug probably created 10 new ones. Fixing those 10 probably caused another 30, etc. They should probably adopt a 'No ETA' policy over there as well. ?
