So,,,does my device need to be rooted and the recovery need to be CHANGED?

Please excuse me for such stupid question,because I'm a newbie..Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Yes (to keep it simple for you)
[Nexus 5 General] drawde40599:
No u dont have to be rooted to change recovery . there is tons of info in the q&a / general threads to walk u threw it , but if u can't figure it out pm me I'll walk u threw it .

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

I also noticed pretty major improvement with this last one , but I also had issues were my phone would reboot then bootloop at boot animation when connected to wireless charger ( nexus 4 orb and new N5 wireless chargers ) randomly , happened with both my N5's only after this "update" had to go back to stock . but totally agree with u
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
Well unlocking bootloader is a must before flashing something or installing custom recovery. Would be silly if you don't root it after fine these steps.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Some people flash custom ROMs but don't want root access. Various reasons for that but meh. There's always those people lol.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
there are certain jobs that won't let you have a rooted phone at work, and they check.
[Nexus 5 General] jackpollard:
That's why I use RootClock in xposed, it works like a charm. I used it for work, they did check, and I used it for another app. It worked for both, just make sure you add the app before you use it for the 1st time, just makes it easier.
[Nexus 5 General] jonup:
Did they check your phone every time u showed up to work? Or do they mandate you keep an root checking app on your phone?
[Nexus 5 General] jackpollard:
In my case it was; here is the site and instructions, go to it. I was able to do it myself and its not checked again. Obviously, if your being physically checked for root or have to prove your un-rooted for work, don't root! If your like me, root if you feel like it. RootCloak worked for my specific needs, your milage may vary.
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
That's one more reason why everyone who's enjoying "hacky mods" (vomer's favorite term to describe Xposed etc) should consider getting a second/development dedicated devices with options availables as the moto G and E , even a used N4 they are dirt cheap... And soon the N5 will follow!

I personally take seriously the usual advice "before doing: etc/etc... you should do a nandroid and know how to flash factory image and i'll add to that: it shouldn't be your only device because panic & stress are causes for mistakes...

Edit: thanks to op for letting us know about Qualcomm updated adreno drivers sorry for the OT but I Had to... Evil forces of trollin I guess
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
can't you just untick the check in SuperSU?
[Nexus 5 General] jackpollard:
Good point paychex, (Howdy neighbor, I'm in Westminister, MD., good to see a fellow MD'er in here) I initially tried that with a medical app, myquest, and it would not work. I looked for some other solutions, thats when i found the xposed app. I googled some of the details for rootcloak to see what it actually did; "This includes hiding the su binary, superuser/supersu apks, processes run by root, and more." So it does a bit more then unchecking SuperSU.

Like I said, in my specific situation it worked. Backup, Backup, Backup, then try.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
I tried unticking it and lost root in all my apps. It might do the trick and be a bit easier

Just flash it? No need to wipe anything?

And I want to know if this is working on ParanoidAndroid and my kitkat version is 4.4.4.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Just flash it. No wiping needed. Should work just fine on PA. As always make a backup before you flash anything on your phone. :)
[Nexus 5 General] WNSTNSNRS:
Thanks. How about on Kitkat 4.4.4. Is it working good? The title says 4.4
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Working fine. If you check out Qualcomms website, the latest drivers were tested on 4.4.4.
[Nexus 5 General] tigourubu:
Compatible MIUI?

Hi,

It's compatible with MIUI 4.4.2?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
MIUI is based off Android so it should.
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Yup!
[Nexus 5 General] bland.life:
I opened the zip file on the PC and found that the files in the revert zip is newer by a month than those in the update zip, modified date.

Are the zips named right?

Running cd /system/vendor/lib/egl && strings libEGL* | grep Date (from post #903) it seems like the latest CM11 nightly still uses drivers dated 11/06/2013!

Or is that not what the terminal command is for showing?

Im using AOSPA and I updated it. Should I reflash this? Or not?

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
[MENTION=3084173]bland.life[/MENTION] the dates in the revert zip are purely because I dumped system.img on that day. Don't bother with the dates files show in Windows.

That means CM11 uses the original, "release" ones.

And there's not much point "checking" the date on the drivers since if it flashed successfully, then it damn flashed successfully. The build date doesn't match the release date either, as they don't release them immediately.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
A bit quiet and no updates yet.. hmm :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Hope we get new drivers this week...
[Nexus 5 General] DryEagle:
these are compatible with stock rom + franco kernel? also in the Op it says they're development release / not consumer quality? is it still worth trying? sorry for unknowing questions
[Nexus 5 General] Hibble:
Yeah, sure it's also compatible with stock. If you face problems with those drivers, flash back the old ones. But I haven't heard any issues so far ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It's compatible with the Nexus 5, regardless what ROM or kernel, forget those here.
[Nexus 5 General] fix-this!:
just bit the bullet and flash this on my new lg g3, works great. same as it did on my g2, since they all have the adreno 330.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I'll agree with this but throwing in an exception, I flashed this on my only test of CM11 and went into a bootloop. Otherwise worked on every single other ROM I've tested it on.
[Nexus 5 General] chakflying:
So are the drivers usually not included in custom ROMs? Seems pretty interesting.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Don't see why wouldn't work on any ROM, its a hardware driver :eek: I'd say CM's fault, not the drivers :silly:

Some ROMs include them, but not many.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I agree it's CMs fault haha but it didn't work for me on a CM ROM for whatever reason. Maybe they use different drivers or code. Don't have a clue as to why honestly.
[Nexus 5 General] draa2711:
Working flawlessly on my N5 with CM nightlies...

[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks for the reply. It was a bootloop after flashing them on a CM11 nightly around a month ago. Guess it could have been some sort of bug.

Why do I need to do it manually?

Why do I need to update adreno drivers manually? Isn't it integrated in a radio or baseband or so?
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Dude what are you taking about :eek: These are GPU drivers and has nothing to do with radio or baseband.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
A question about GPU driver integration in a radio. That's a new one.
[Nexus 5 General] Marcopoloy13:
Ok thx,

sorry for my unawareness =)

I thought radio are something like the drivers

and I never read something about GPU drivers for Android before.

... and what is about system update or kernel? Could it be integrated there?
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Yes but as these are newer than the latest system release then they're not in it
[Nexus 5 General] Marcopoloy13:
Oh ok thanks

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yeah, if you understand the what's in them as the changelogs say. Otherwise, no, it doesn't affect you.

These are bug fixes. NOT "flash this on your phone so it runs faster".
[Nexus 5 General] nedooo:
Still it does improve perfomance :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
That is subjective, and if you feel an improvement it's because that's how it was intended to be.

I don't flash these for "performance". I flash these for the bug fixes, because I understand what they're actually doing and have run into bugs myself.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Qualcomm really does need to change what they said about monthly release lol.
[Nexus 5 General] infatality:
Probably testing on L release lol..
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It's probably a little more work, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal since the KK ones work on L, since it's a hardware driver.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Tell me about it. I don't even bother checking anymore, tbh...
[Nexus 5 General] Pippo_Inzaghi:
How I can check drivers version

How I can check GPU drivers version, it's last GPU drivers relased whith mahdi rom?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Antutu or Terminal. Really though, not much point checking the date as the build date isn't the same as release date, and if you flashed them, then they're obviously flashed, no need to check. Ask in your ROM thread to see if they're included.
[Nexus 5 General] Pippo_Inzaghi:
I have less than 10 posts, so I can't send Thanks, so I write Thanks

is there anyone experiencing self reboot when running antutu benchmark after installing the GPU Driver updates august 8?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Not relevant to these. You're just hitting thermal shutdown.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Exactly, and in the second post there is a list of the rom tested with them... If you test on a rom not listed, leave a feedback ;)

You can also make a Nandroid backup before, the first thing to do when flashing this kind of stuff, even if there is a revert flashable zip.

No noticeable improvement in benches but in any case no scores lowered as we can read. In general UI, at least for me, same thing. In any case better is to test and see...

:)
[Nexus 5 General] N3xusS:
I will flash it on a cataclysm rom only if there are some improvement..
[Nexus 5 General] :
Ok.

And why not backup, flash and test to share your feedback for all Cataclysm rom users?

It's not directly to you, but always the same kind of questions or comments again and again and almost everywhere if this or that do or could do this or that, sometimes we need to test by ourselves...:

:)
[Nexus 5 General] aftermath05:
hi guys, i flashed it on cataclysm rom, and im able to run asphalt 8 on this gpu update you just need to lower the graphics to low as it set to high. as per my observation its kinda laggy on asphalt 8 at low settings, the rest of my games are working good.
[Nexus 5 General] seschaum:
Hi!

Did anybody tried these on a Nexus 7 (2013)?

As it also has an Adreno 320 GPU...

I flashed it on mine - so far no problems and my quick test Quadrant Scores improved a little...

ROM: Slimkat

Kernel: ElementalX 2.6

Dalvik Moto X Patches

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Also? The Nexus 5 have an Adreno 330...

[Nexus 5 General] seschaum:
Hi! Somewhere I've read that these drivers are for Adreno 3x0 Series - so i just tried with my N7.

If I find some problems (successfully tested with Ingress already) I'll post them - but actualy no problems in sight.

Hi,

Which custom rom? If not specified here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49878392&postcount=2? then please mention it and the list will be updated by the OP.

You posted an Antutu score, it's fine, but at least post the detailed score to see the 2D/3D score, other than that your overall score means nothing (I mean, well, your score is good but without any details it means nothing about 2D/3D scores since we don't see them and these drivers have nothing to do about the other parts of Antutu).

And to test these GPU drivers, better is to test with a benchmark only for graphics...

:)

I do apologise :) just wanted to to be helpful. I am on Cataclysm rom .
[Nexus 5 General] The Gingerbread Man:
So reflashing a rom will over write these files, what about flashing kernels?

This driver can be installed on a Google Stock 4.4.2 with the stock recovery?

Enviado do meu Nexus 7
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
No, you need a custom recovery for that. You can also boot up a custom recovery without having to flash it. Put the recovery in the fastboot folder, reboot the phone in fastboot and type in cmd: fastboot boot namerrecovery.img and once in recovery flash the zip file.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
So..... Is there any noticeable difference?
[Nexus 5 General] streetrod60:
sorry, but i dont get it. You mean that my self reboot is caused because i've just done something in the kernel settings?

Btw, flashed it successfully on official MIUI V5 [emoji4]
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
My thoughts were that if the OP's link was dead the hosting service probably changed the link. Went to hosting service found the OP's profile, and boom, there are the files. Took about two minutes, and I did not even need to download them.

People need to learn how to think about these things. If a link dies, think about why it is dead. Try to find where the files have gone. If you cannot find them, then ask.

And yes, the OP has been updated.

You need custom recovery, no need for root.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:

[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
That's what I do.
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
Yeah, I would, but I am not signed up as a developer on their site. Also, do they come flashable, as the download seems to be for multiple devices? I would think each would need a different updater-script if flashable, but I guess it could point generically to system and it would work?

I am still learning so just asking.

If I reflash the rom zip file, I believe that the older driver will be back. Is that correct? I know that the OP has a revert file. Thankz

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

After I flashed the file, a colorful screen appeared when I launched the first app. Now everything is normal. Does the color screen often occur on the first app launch? Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

I had to flash the revert driver as the colour screen always when I open the first app after reboot.Not sure what is tge cause of the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
The drivers are in /system. Flashing a ROM zip formats /system.

Never heard of your "colourful screen" thing.
[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:
I tried to reflash the rom zip file without wiping anything. The same issue occured. I used the revert driver which makesy phone is normal now. The colourful screen looks like the screen mixes all small different colors line.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Weird. Does it always happen?
[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:
I flashed the file around 30 minutes ago. I tested on 5 reboot. Every single time, the wired screen appeared only when I launched the first app.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Make a backup, then flash factory images and ONLY the drivers. If it doesn't happen then it's an issue with your setup. If it still does, it could be a bug or possibly a hardware issue.
[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:
I found an interesting thing. I have a refurbished nexus 5 with me which was sent by google due to gps malfunction on my nexus 5. I can flash the latest driver on my nexus 5 without the same issue. The issue I mentioned above is only occurred on the replacement phone. Does that mean the replacement phone is much older than my current phone? The latest driver should be compatible with newer phones. I dislike the replacement phone because there are some heavy scratches around edges.

[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:
Hi All,

Is there anyone else having an issue after flashing this update? When was the phone purchased? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
In all 103 pages, you're the only one with that issue. It might even just be a hardware defect on your end if it still happens right after a clean flash of factory images. Nothing to do with when it was purchased/manufactured.
