I had a previous version installed (not exactly sure which) and it worked fine. I realized it had been updated on the 30th so I decided to flash the new version. Literally everything was suuuuuper laggy afterwards. Scrolling would lag, when I tried to open an app it would stay at the launcher for a good 5+ seconds, opening a new tab in Chrome would lag, etc.

Anyway, I flashed back to stock and it was fine after that. I saw your post and figured something must have just went wrong when flashing or got left behind from the previous version so I went back to the May 30th version and everything seems fine now.

Maybe someone can check current drivers version in 4.4.3 ;)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Maybe you?

It's beyond me that always people asking things like that, test by yourself and report back then you will be the first, I mean the "god" to spread your experience.

XDA is not always asking again and again, but it's also sharing in different ways.

:)

EDIT: [MENTION=5198145]mastero9017[/MENTION], lol... you're right I always reply like that and I like making spam, how it's funny you said that... (well, like all your post in the other thread where you even don't care about the replies made). At least can you take a look at my posts here? The spammer thank you in advance.

In this case explain that you have no time to test because you are busy but maybe you have time to upgrade to Android 4.4.3 since your request I guess...

I'm always polite, patient and a nice guy I think but here, it bothers you that I said to test by yourself when YOU don't even give a reason to test something instead you???... feel free to report my post, with pleasure.
[Nexus 5 General] mastero9017:
Why you always reply like this? You like making spam or what?

If i have time i could check it myself. If i asked I'm probably busy now, so... think sometimes :p

It could just be placebo but it seems to make things a little smoother. No difference to me in gaming but the UI feels a little bit more fluid.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Lag in Asphalt and crashes on DT2 went away for in after flashing these drivers. I know about this because I play these games. May be crashes and lag on other apps/games might have gone as well?

I can't find any improvement on overall system smoothness or anything of that sort after flashing these drivers.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Yep, no issue here... In Antutu 2D score is about 1645 and 3D score is about 9770.

But mayb if improvement there is, about the GPU part, Antutu is not the best bench. Maybe a specific bench for graphic tests will be more appropriate?
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yup, everything is much worse at the default 2265mhz cpu speed.. :p

[Nexus 5 General] stonedpsycho:
Thanks alot OP :good:

Working great on stock.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
may, but generally wont unless there have been other changes to the drivers by thee kernel developer. the only kernel that it might affect(i think) is cm, but others are reporting it being fine.
[Nexus 5 General] caspboy:
Thats some very useful info;) Either way, this drivers are for developing purposes. It overclocks the gpu a little extra w/o effecting it so game devs have a little extra to work with. But on a users phone, it increase overall performance in gaming!
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Running Purtity Rom, tested with GFXbench before and after the update:

Before driver update:

Manhattan On-screen: 9.5 FPS

Manhattan off-screen: 8.8 FPS

T-rex On-screen: 23 FPS

T-rex off-screen: 22 FPS

After driver update:

MH on-screen: 9.4 FPS

MH off-screen: 8.7 FPS

T-rex on-screen: 24 FPS

T-rex off-screen: 22 FPS

So I got mixed results with GFXbench, with Manhattan scoring lower after the update and T-rex on screen gaining 1 FPS.

[Nexus 5 General] Shudder123:
we only need to flash these files once right? not after everytime we install a new rom?
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
wrong.

everytime you flash your rom/kernel, until it gets added to your rim/kernel. if not, theyll just get overwritten by the older drivers.

Wonder if/when they'll fix all of the OpenGL ES 3 driver problems.

Just tested the new drivers with Dolphin, and there is a significant improvement (no longer runs with a 90 degree rotation and the menus in SSBM work correctly)

However, polygons are still horribly corrupted in SSBM (which is normal)

Good to see some improvement though.

This may be a stupid question but.. I havent updated my GPU drivers since I purchased my N5. Is there a way to tell which version I currently have, and do I simply flash the latest .zip in custom recovery (I use TWRP)?
[Nexus 5 General] aavvaallooss:
I readed that 4.4.3 comes with November 2013
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
If you don't already have it, search Play Store for Android Terminal Emulator. Open a new terminal window and type in the following code.

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

That'll give you the date/version of the GPU drivers currently installed.

As for the second part of your question, yes, TWRP works perfectly fine to install the drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] MikeC84:
That is the 5/12/14 version and the one someone posted a few pages back that is labeled may30 is also from 5/12/14. Anyone have the actual may 30 version?

I'm pretty sure that's just the build date, but the update was released by Qualcomm on the 30th. That is the 'actual' 5/30 update. :)

Alright, I've read back to the release of 4.4.3 and I still haven't seen this question answered explicitly (sorry if it was there and I missed it) Are the GPU drivers included with 4.4.3 newer than the latest beta release from Qualcomm (5/30)? I also see links and talk about "preview" drivers from Google. As I understand it, these are at least newer than 4.4.3 but not necessarily newer than the Qualcomm ones? I've just seen too many half answers and was hoping someone could lay it out in black and white. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
No the 4.4.3 drivers are older. The preview GPU Drivers seem to be the same date as the ones in this thread.

Another note about the previews is that there aren't any steps listed on how to install. It appears that what myself and another user did was not the complete process.
[Nexus 5 General] Haidary.T:
By installing all 3 drivers, do some files from one vendor get overwritten by one from another vendor?
[Nexus 5 General] The Gingerbread Man:
So your saying that the terminal sh method doesn't work? I spent all that time pressing enter 10,000 times to read each lisence agreement line for each driver? I did that on 2 devices and rebooted each after I did it. There was a command somewhere in here to check the data of the drivers currently installed, maybe one / both of us should try it to see if it really worked.

Edit

Adding it here again for easy reference. Needs busy box to work

Edit 2

Returned as 5/12/14 so seems it didn't work ?
[Nexus 5 General] chikimonke:
Doing a little poking around and found this article on AndroidPolice. Read through the comments, basically these preview blobs need to be compiled into a ROM or Kernel (which ever is appropriate) in order to be used. There doesn't seem to be a way to just "flash" or install them after the fact.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Not that it matters now, but pressing backspace bypasses the agreement text.
[Nexus 5 General] The Gingerbread Man:

[Nexus 5 General] keith.mcintyre26:
To use these files, you have to untar the files run ./filename.sh in a terminal, agree to the terms and each .tar will produce a folder that will go inside the vendor folder of your build environment. You would then compile AOSP using these vendor files- there isn't anything you can do with them unless you do the above.

Do Not Flash!

I would recommend that you don't flash this driver specifically because of potential incompatibility issues. Instead I suggest you look for a more compatible device in this link: Qualcomm Developer Network

As there isn't any driver that I can personally find on that link for the Xperia SP, I would recommend that you stay away from flashing any of the developer drivers unless it is specifically for the Xperia SP, otherwise your device could end up in a boot loop or worse.
[Nexus 5 General] petrus764:
