But before we can even answer this correctly... What does he mean by the second part of his question? If you're asking if the date or model of Nexus 5 you have determines if it works or not, the answer is all models are the same graphics wise. Check your downloads and try downloading again with another browser. Or its your ROM. Usually you won't be able to flash a corrupted download but it does happen.

My situation is that my current phone has bad gps. My replacement phone has hardware defect. I am pretty unlucky.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
Hi all:), I'v buyed N5 4 days ago, for now I prefer to leave it with stock and unroot, latest stock factory image, has this update?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
No
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
thanks for reply, and are compatible with latest stock?
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Yes
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
thank u :)
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Mehh get that bootloader unlocked like a real man ?
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
before root I must sure that this phone haven't any hardware issue, is new and buyed online, RMA isn't so simple like to buy from a real shop in my city :), so I wait next to Android L :)
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
You don't need root to flash this, just a custom recovery. You don't even need to flash a custom recovery either, you can just boot into one using fastboot. Check out the roll up sticky guide for more information.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
I need to unlock bootloader right?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
I do believe so, yes. I know it must be unlocked in order to flash a custom recovery. I'll assume it's the same to boot to one as well. Someone kindly correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
Ok But in this way I invalidate my warranty and don't receive any ota. As I tell before, I need to check if this phone it's ok because is new :)
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
If purchased through Play Store, Google doesn't invalidate warranty if your bootloader is unlocked or even rooted. Only editing any files in /system will cause OTA to fail. This is also a Nexus. You can go back to 100% complete stock if you have to, including resetting the bootloader as well as the tamper flag. They'll never know it was unlocked. Welcome to the party.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
I know revert but only if phone boot or display work. If even don't work I can't do any revert. I'm buy from Amazon
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
The drivers won't cause your phone to melt in your hands. If you're considering every kind of outcome there is, however far-fetched, don't flash and move on.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
ok:)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I love how they released new drivers on 08 Oct 14..

For the Adreno 320...on Inforce IFC6410 devices...running Linaro...14.09 Ubuntu. LOL.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
They are preparing updated drivers for Android 5. No need for new 4.4 drivers when Lollipop is around the corner.

Hope they fix the massive overhead and other bugs.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Hardware drivers aren't dependant on the Android version though.

And what "massive overhead" are you talking about? lol
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
Are these drivers related to kernel? I just updated my elemental x kernel and I'm wondering if I have to reflash just like when I change rom.
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Does L beta 3 has newest drivers than these? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Are you on preview 3? So please check the driver date with OS Monitor and tell us please.
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Ehm, ok, but how to do it with OS Monitor?
[Nexus 5 General] käsebr0t:
I don't think OS Monitor is compatible with L. I already tried it, and it doesn,t show me any information [emoji20]
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
On the catlog tab. Some gpu date
[Nexus 5 General] THE_KINGDOM:
Anyway to check what GPU drivers version currently running?
[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:
You cannot check.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Well, Terminal returns "libEGL_adreno.so not found" :D
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Well..flashing it may not do a damn thing then huh? xD
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Hahaha! :p
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
We just need to flash it on a OnePlus One :p
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
That's a great idea! [emoji12]
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Lmao!! :))

Are you guys getting the Nexus 6/9? I think this thread is going to have a lot of people asking to flash Nexus 6 binaries over here when they're released.. LOL.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Nope.
[Nexus 5 General] explorer-10:
Is this stable enough to flash?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes.
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
Safe to flash this on android 5.0 lollipop?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Why don't you try and see? It's a hardware driver. So, it should work irrespective of the Android version. Worst case scenario would be that you'll need to dirty flash vomer's stock rom or flash system.img :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Make that a double nope. Price was much too high for me. I'm going to get a PS4 instead. Besides, Nexus 5 and Android 5.0 is still wonderful. By the time I need to give up this phone another Nexus device will have surely been released.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
My sentiments exactly!:angel:
[Nexus 5 General] DrearierJester1:
Flashed this on the latest preview and seems working just fine. Was able to play subway surf, clash of clans, asphalt 8, and was able to play mkv and mp4 videos via VLC.

And oh transisitons seems to be smoother, idk maybe just a placebo...
[Nexus 5 General] razor 116:
Agreed, Also I'd add that its lack of a 64bit CPU is questionable. I'll wait for the Nexus 7(phone) which will almost certainly have a 64bit CPU and either 3 or maybe 4 GB of RAM. With the advancements in mobile moving so fast it's hard to really say any phone is future proof for at least 3 years but the Nexus 5 is for at least 2 years "future proof" mainly because the Nexus 6 is not 64 bit.
[Nexus 5 General] J.Diogo:
I just don't get one thing.

Is this a user version or a developer version?

Do you guys recommend flashing this? Is there a lot of improvement? In what areas?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
1. That's more than one thing.

2. Developer version as stated on their website. Clearly says these drivers do not meet customer release standards.

3. Most would, yes.

4&5. Try them to see for yourself. Or read the thread to find these answers which have been covered several times.
[Nexus 5 General] J.Diogo:
Thanks for the answer.

But is it just the latest version that is for developers? Or are there older versions suitable for users?
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Read the thread.
[Nexus 5 General] felaipes:
General Question: Do GPU drivers get updated with new Android releases? Specifically, do we get update drivers, like this one, when lollipop launches?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Android releases use whatever Qualcomm deems as consumer-worthy. Regardless if its an old one or not.
[Nexus 5 General] joecool666:
hi Lethargy. have you uesed these driver's yourself if so did you see any diffarence. regard's joe
[Nexus 5 General] aavvaallooss:
Not great difference in real life
[Nexus 5 General] joecool666:

[Nexus 5 General] bhavstech:
will these work on lollipop preview?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes. Why not? :)

-Sent from a Lollipop'd Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Perhaps Lollipop has newer drivers..?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
He asked if it would work. Not which are newer.

The developer preview most likely uses an older version, anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] DrearierJester1:
I'm using it on latest L Preview now.
[Nexus 5 General] ChazzMatt:
Wouldn't the Final L Preview have newer drivers than August?

Not the original preview, but the one just released a fewr days ago.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
The original L preview didn't have the latest (at that time) drivers. The drivers in this thread are not intended for end users so I doubt they will show up in an image released by Google.
[Nexus 5 General] winstonma:
Not a great idea to try the GPU driver on OnePlus one. As people reported that the driver will break the camera.

I tried flashing this over my CM11 M11 and confirmed that the camera would not work.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
He was being sarcastic, as was I.
[Nexus 5 General] vince.lupe:
Camera Fix

Guys, without reverting the drivers, is there a way to fix the camera not working?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
If you're flashing these on a OnePlus One, why the hell are you flashing them on a OnePlus One?

Don't flash things not meant for your device.

There is NO fix and there WON'T be; you should just revert. DO NOT FLASH THE REVERT ZIP IN OP, THAT ONE IS FOR THE NEXUS 5 TOO.

Reflash your ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] vince.lupe:
I flashed them on my Oppo Find 7a because a friend of mine who flashed them on his Xperia SP said that they work flawlessly. He urged me to do it.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Same thing. Bad idea. Don't flash things not meant for your device. Doesn't matter what device it is; not a Nexus 5, don't flash.

Tell your friend he should also revert as the Xperia SP doesn't even have an Adreno 330 LOL
[Nexus 5 General] GtrCraft:
So if he says he jumped off a bridge and survived, you will try it too?
[Nexus 5 General] vince.lupe:
Well, mine does have Adreno 330? That's why I flashed them.
[Nexus 5 General] slim_guy:
haha, I've flashed n4's once.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yes, and it broke your camera. It is NOT for your device. Same GPU? Big deal. Still not a Nexus 5.

Would you flash a Nexus 5 kernel on your phone? No. So don't flash these.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

[MENTION=5645126]caspboy[/MENTION] Could you please add to the OP that if one doesn't have a Nexus 5, they should stay away and not flash these blindly?
[Nexus 5 General] vince.lupe:
It would be better for the OP to add that it's ONLY for Nexus 5 because he said it'll work on any 4.4 ROM on a phone with Adreno 3xx... Mine fits those two criteria. It's ambiguous at best.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
This is all it says:

Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7. These three devices have Adreno GPUs. The Nexus 4 and 7 share the same drivers, and the Nexus 5 has its own. Hence "Adreno 3xx". NOWHERE does it mention "any 4.4 ROM on a phone with Adreno 3xx".

Read.
[Nexus 5 General] vince.lupe:
That states - following sentence structure and context - that those binaries are found on the Nexus 4,5, and 7. That's all. But, regardless, we learned something new today. All is back to normal here.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:

[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
What? You expected someone to read the thread before posting?! To have searched the thread and found exactly what they were looking for?! To have them read about known issues they could have avoided in the first place if they just looked first?!!?!!?!???
[Nexus 5 General] GtrCraft:
Pls, I am not through my popcorn yet :p
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I want to say something, but of respect for the fact I'm an RC, I won't. I will say this one more time...This is the Nexus 5 forum. Assume most things here work on the Nexus 5 or they'd be locked or removed already, our moderation team is on point, and RCs and active members are good at reporting. Assuming it works on other devices is a foolish and risky move,
[Nexus 5 General] andreasha:
Seems like Lollipop comes with a driver from 2014-10-24 (checked with OS Monitor)
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
Without any official update from Qualcomm ?
[Nexus 5 General] Paschfire:
nexus 5 running Android 5.0 factory images LRX21O \TWRP recovery +Franco Kernel R68, flashed the Aug 7th Adreno Driver package all seems to be working fine, I will report back with any issues if any arise and performance gains also if any in a few days.
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
[MENTION=5866088]paschfire[/MENTION] Don't you think that android 5.0 would have a more recent GPU driver? I think august 7 is outdated compared to stock lollipop drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Can someone post the 24.10. Adreno drivers from the Lollipop release?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
No.

The drivers shipped with Lollipop have a newer build date, but it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that it has ALL the changes of the developer drivers.

It is most likely that it is the same one as the one shipped with KK but with a small amount of changes that were deemed worthy enough to be in a release.

It most certainly does NOT have every single change that the August drivers have. This is Qualcomm and Google we are talking about here. They don't just release everything right away, they thoroughly test them for months, or even years.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
I add that in binary, new lollipop adreno was compiled with gcc 4.8, and library from qualcom with 4.7.

So I can confirm that lollipop has new drivers.......
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yes, one can change from GCC 4.7 to 4.8 without changing anything if they wanted to.

We already know it has a newer build date.

But a build date also means nothing.

See my post above yours.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
Yes but may be that 4.8 give some improvements.... MAY BE M8 ☺
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I highly doubt a GCC change for a GPU driver will do much, if anything at all lol.
[Nexus 5 General] SoftWord:
however I prefer to get latest with lollipop, we don't know really what BigG have do with that drivers.........
[Nexus 5 General] Paschfire:
using the GPU drivers updates of 8.08.14 on nexus 5 Android 5.0 LRX21O +FK r68 superSU v2.27 \TWRP v2.8.2.0. the gains if any are not as apparent as they were using alongside 4.4.x roms, the heat reduction and performance gains with kitkat compared to using with the latest final of 5.0, if anything the stock drivers included in the LRX21O build seem to perform the same no more or less optimized than the developer release GPU drivers IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Sorry, but these are not "optimized" drivers. It's a GPU driver, not something like Dalvik or Bionic. These are BUG FIXES.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Attempting to see any performance gains directly is just wishful thinking. At best, it'll fix quirks and bugs you have in some games or apps at the end user level. So technically it fixes compatibility.
[Nexus 5 General] tehSecret:
It must be an exhausting task to constantly repeat and explain what these drivers do. Do people even read anymore , and when they do , do they even comprehend ? It must suck to post a question then have to wait for an answer, sometimes days at a time . I find it much easier to search and learn what I'm actually trying to accomplish. Is there any way to weed out the spoonfeeding ?!? This thread only has maybe *a few* pages of legitimate Q@A. I thank [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] on behalf of all lazy n00bz.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You have to remember this is XDA, where 99% of the members have no idea what they are doing and only know how to be spoonfed.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:

[Nexus 5 General] :

August 8 drivers work fine. Benchmarks don't report any noticeable change outside small deviations. That's ok since this isn't about performance, but rather bug fixes. Good stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] OKLYMY:
If I'm running ParanoidAndoird 5.0 ALPHA1 which is based on Lollipop 5.0.2, do I need and can I still update to this GPU driver? What happens if I flash to another ROM in the future, will I need to reinstall the GPU driver again?
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Late and all, but don't do it. Who knows if you'll boot, plus it's outdated now. I don't know which version 5.1 carries but it's more than likely somewhat newer.
