[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
That's why I use a mac that dual boots ubuntu. :cool:

Thanks for the drivers though. Works great on stock.
[Nexus 5 General] caspboy:
Yeah for me to, I notice performace issues on custom roms. Thats what everyone's complaining about. I said these drivers were meant for stock. Maybe I should bold it and put it in red?
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
I got it.......

THIS WAS MEANT FOR STOCK!!!!!!

people will still complain...don't bother.
[Nexus 5 General] N3xusS:
So if i'm running a custom rom is it better to don't flash them? and on stock rom are there any advantages?
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
It was meant for stock, but you can flash it and if it doesn't work out, flash the revert zip. Just don't complain about benchmark scores being lower.
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
Are there any tests to prove or disprove this?

From reading the update logs, it seems to have better performance for many apps/games and fixes for random crashes for some apps.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
There is no proof that it'll help at all on the Nexus 5 for the reasons stated above.
[Nexus 5 General] themichael:
I know these are for the nexus 5, just curious if anyone's tried these on the note 3.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
People need to stop asking if these work on other devices..
[Nexus 5 General] themichael:
It makes it confusing when developers list them in the OP of their thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2746172
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You can try but they're not guaranteed to work and will probably break things. And it's not like flashing these will overclock your GPU to 12938219 GHz.

Instead of asking in the Nexus 5 thread about the Note 3, just try it yourself. Do realize that they're developer preview drivers and not release ones, you're probably better off with the default ones.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
Works for the OPO but breaks the camera. You will probably have similar issues.
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Will this work on my Nokia 3310? :p
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It's already enough of a brick, don't need to brick it further
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Those in the Note 3 forums, should ASK HIM WHY he decided to recommend those drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Especially since flashing things that are meant for other devices could possibly PERMANENTLY brick a device. People are taking too many stupid unneccesary risks.

If you want to flash these on another device, do it at your own risk and do not ask if it'll work/complain here if things break. It wasn't meant for your device in the first place, and you're cluttering the thread with useless posts that the majority of people here don't care about since this is the Nexus 5 section. Make a thread in your own device section if it does work. No point wasting yours and others time here.
[Nexus 5 General] Howdareme:
I highly doubt it will hard brick your phone... And i must say these drivers are good for games i recommend them instead of most stock drivers especially if you have v14 or v45
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I'm not necessarily saying these specifically will (although still possible and I strongly suggest against it). IN GENERAL it is a terrible idea to flash stuff that isn't meant for your device.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
oh my, i flashed this onto a hard brick i found outside, and now i have nexus 5 :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I mean [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] has got a point. Unless you're 100% sure this works before you flash it... Don't flash it. Anything can happen. And while it may not cause an outright brick, it may cause other issues.
[Nexus 5 General] jonup:
The reason why a nexus is a nexus - we try things without knowing whether they work or not. If they don't restore your nandroid and try something else.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I think you misunderstood me. On a NON Nexus device or rather a non Nexus 5 or 7.
[Nexus 5 General] jonup:
Either way, my point was what is the worst that can happen? Restore a nandroid. Doesn't hurt to try.;)
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
That's what I'm implying. We aren't aware of the worst that can happen yet. It is standard procedure to be cautious about what you flash, especially if you do not have the knowledge as to weather it does or does not work on your device.
[Nexus 5 General] Juzman:
Flashed on latest beta of ParanoidAndroid.

Working fine.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Wrong. Maybe you're right about these drivers on a certain phone that someone tried already, but that's a terrible attitude to have. If someone reads your post and gives them a shot on a different phone with a different GPU who's to say it won't hard brick? Meaning your nandroid could be completely useless. There's always that possibility on non-nexus phones. Some a lot more easier than others.

In case you all forgot, the optimized dalvik & bionic thread was flooded with users from other devices asking if it would work on their phones until the mods came in and made it very clear to stay away. This is the N5 forum and these drivers are meant for the N5, N4 & N7 only. If you have a N4/7 feel free to go to your device thread in your own forum. Otherwise don't flash these, don't ask if they'll work on your phone, don't seek support here if you flashed it and you broke something and you can't fix it. Simple as that.

So you flashed it on a OPO and it broke the camera? Great. We don't care. It doesn't break ours, why do we need to know? Use common sense people. You (hopefully) wouldn't flash a kernel or radio from a different phone onto yours, I don't see why these would be any different. So the GPU is the same? Big whoop. The software isn't. Otherwise it wouldn't break things on other phones. Come on guys be smart when flashing. This is the N5 thread. Keep it about the N5. If you don't have one don't flash these. Seriously.
[Nexus 5 General] NaveenKD:
Is there a way I can get similar drivers for my Grouper?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
[MENTION=4610119]RoyJ[/MENTION]: couldn't have said it better myself. Really, its an extremely unnecessary risk to try them on a device it was not intended for. I don't think its worth a potential permanent-brick just for bug fixes and slight optimizations. It shouldn't be worth it to anyone, unless you have money to blow on a replacement if it does end up bricking your device.

Only the 2013 version is supported by Qualcomm, so nope.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
I have many reboots with the latest zip.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
No one has really had any reboots regarding these, it's probably something else.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
Before I have 1 reboot on week or 0 now 4 on a half day.

Anyway the ls have another update today so I retry thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Maramu:
Same here, no reboots.

Tapatalked from my SlimKat N5
[Nexus 5 General] DanielDTK:
Does it really improve anything? What are your thoughts about these drivers? Is something better? Is it risky to flash it on MIUI based on 4.4.2? I'm asking before installing :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Bug fixes and some optimizations in games/animations. Don't know about MIUI, but since it's based on Android it theoretically should work.
[Nexus 5 General] drawde40599:
I hope your not serious ? your The most Dangerous kinda user and people like u are the reason for locked Bootloaders and issues with legit warrantys.

if it wasn't built for your device don't install it . THE END .

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

I had 3 reboots but only while on a wireless Nexus charger . Not even full reboots either locked up at boot animation had to hold down power button .... To get out . to bad case I actually liked this last update .

100% Stock N5 .IMG , no modifications
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
Hmm, a friend just referred this to me. I don't know though if I should flash due to probs which may arise... I already downloaded though :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
On the Nexus 5 it's no issue. Two people have said they had reboots but it's more than likely something else other than these drivers. You can revert anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
Just when I'm about to flash, I learned that my internal storage is 0mb??
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Did you flash L or something lol
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
Haha. I did flash android l radio last week, together with the mahdi rom update. Please don't tell me I'm gonna have to flash stock?
[Nexus 5 General] Maramu:
I'm using the L preview modem and no problems whatsoever.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Radio won't affect your storage.

I forgot the exact procedure to fix that but a search should being it up.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I know the fix doesn't require stock, when I had flashed L once my internal storage still showed up fine in MultiROM TWRP it was running L and using the internal storage that was a problem. If you're using MultiROM be wary of running restorecon fixes, you will Bork every secondary ROM. Of course flashing a stock image is always the easiest way though.

But as said before, the radio and even the Gpu drivers cannot bork anything.

I'll look into the issue and see if I find anything for you, I'm a bit intrigued as to what could be causing it.
[Nexus 5 General] DanielDTK:
It seems that it isn't necessary to apply it. Thanks everyone :)
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
+1 seriously. I mean the Nexus 5 is considered a budget phone anyways. It's cheaper than most flagship by a considerable amount. If you want to brick your device and spend another 300 dollars or so, go ahead. We're doing our best to warn members to flash it only on the Nexus 5 or risk a brick, and we will continue to do so.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Exactly haha even worse if you flash it on a flagship that doesn't support it and manage a brick. I feel as if you and I are going around on the CM11S issue and the risk of flashing these drivers on a non supported device haha.
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
I said I did flash android l but the radio only together with the latest mahdi update. When I rebooted to twrp twice last night, my internal storage won't show up.

But when I tried today, it was there, so I proceeded to flashing the gpu. Tried recovery again and it was okay now. Weird. Probably a twrp issue but it's just now I've encountered such. Ever since it was working flawlessly.

Hmm, in case it shows up again, proceed to flashing stock, root again and install custom recovery? My ex used wugs toolkit so I just have to follow to the letter the instructions for fastboot process and download all said drivers and programs, right?

Thanks much to all! Truly a great forum! :)
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Glad you got the problem resolved. In any case, it would be a good idea to make a backup of your internal storage off of your phone. I highly recommend not using any toolkit, instead head to General section and look for the sticky by our amazing [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 General] Ryrynz:
People can just stop replying.. Or simply say read OP and leave it at that.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
Yeah don't go with toolkits. Fastboot is so simple anyway. And yeah keep /data/media backed up dropsync and drivesync are great
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Check your camera. Also next time search a thread before you post. These drivers break the camera on the OPO. A search would have turned this info up for you. They do know already, actually...
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
I used these drivers for a little over a week, and then I noticed an issue with Yoututbe. After starting to watch a video in portrait, I switched to landscape and the whole UI froze for a good 30 seconds until the youtube app just closed. Not sure if this is repeatable, or just a one time bug but I decided to just revert to stock drivers. I didn't really see any difference with the updated drivers in terms of performance so figured I should just stick to stock since i've never had freezes like those.
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
By this you mean back up my media - photos and all, right?

Do I need as well to copy all the folders on my phone to the pc? I remember my ex did that.

Thanks to you both!

The first reboot after flashing these drivers made my phone hot, but I just did frequent reboots for it to cool down. Just played coc and everything's fine still.

This needs to be flashed every time I update my rom, right?
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Yes I mean back up your media, and yes that's generally how you do it, by copying the folders to your pc. You can also use air Droid to back it up without a USB cable on your wifi network.

And, yes. Anytime you do anything that overwrites /system such as a new ROM, or a ROM update you'll need to reflash these drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] unster:
Hi guys, short question - with ParanoidAndroid loaded on device, should I keep getting drivers from this topic and update them manually; or will it be covered by Paranoid developers?
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
Unless there are PA developers on this thread no one can answer. Go to their thread and ask if they update these.
[Nexus 5 General] r0cky0790:
I think your experiencing what I do every so often. Sometimes when I go into recovery it shows empty internal storage and I cant install anything. A simple reboot or two usually fixes the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
new update might work. haven't tried it yet
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
If it does work then good for you. It doesn't belong in this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] SREEPRAJAY:
Members,

Just thought We should come in to remind that this is a N5 Thread and trying this on another device or help on another device should go into that device thread.

Nevertheless, dont allow your egos to start popping up and start flaming at each other.

Stay on topic please.

Thanks

THREAD CLEANED
[Nexus 5 General] donnabelmartie:
So just let it pass and wait for the next TWRP update? It's more like acting up as the internal memory gets hidden on TWRP recovery v2.7.1.1 once in a while but yeah, a few reboots will fix. I tried reflashing such recovery on fastboot but drivers are not yet installed. My ex was the one who did all the works but used Wugs toolkit. I thought though they are designed for just one-click flashing, drivers are included too.

I've already understood adb and fastboot, however got a bit confused about the Google/LG drivers. In SDK, Google drivers are included. But are LG drivers really necessary? (I'm referring to http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905)

Or just try instead the 15-second program on http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701 ?

Pardon if I may have been crossing the purpose of this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
Is this mod that is required to be flash after installing/updating a rom???
[Nexus 5 General] aavvaallooss:
Read the last 2 pages before ask
[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
Is it really that hard for you to give a straight answer? Learn to be a team member in a forum instead of giving people a hard time.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Yup
[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
Thank You!
[Nexus 5 General] NineInchNails:
Its a forum rule that you search before you ask. So he's not in the wrong for pointing out that you should have read back.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
True, but it's far quicker to write 'yup' if you're actually gonna write something back
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
But then if they searched in the first place, it would be even quicker because you never had to do anything (reply).
[Nexus 5 General] NineInchNails:
Both valid yes. But what we all old timers here of XDA try to do is pass on the proper forum etiquette. Its a lost art form that needs to be revived.

Back on topic.
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
Maybe it's a stupid question but are these GPU updates included in the last android update, even Android L preview ?
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
Why do we flash them if they are already included?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
4.4.4 uses old ones which are deemed stable by Google, not these dev versions. Same with the L developer preview.

;)
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
Cause lot of people aren't on Android L

So I suppose that means even in the latest version of Android preview the drivers aren't updated. Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
It is not covered by anyone, no ROM that I know of includes these GPU drivers because they cannot guarantee stability, that being said they work fine for me. You should continue flashing if you wish to stay on the latest GPU drivers anytime you flash a ROM or update your ROM.

Some ROMs do, but only a small handful :p
[Nexus 5 General] nabil alami:
Did this do any changes? what are the updates of upgrading?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] PetritH:
Why does everyone ask the same questions over and over again, if u flash this your phone becomes a Nexus 6.
[Nexus 5 General] nabil alami:
Cool, then I think it might be better for a good explanation to be written in the decription..
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Searching for an answer to your question before posting it is considered good forum etiquette. Especially since the particular question you asked has already been asked and answered at least a dozen times in this thread already. The answer is yes, you will need to flash these drivers again after every ROM upgrade.

Edit: misunderstood your question, sorry. I posted a changelog for the last update a while back. Just do a search.
[Nexus 5 General] nabil alami:
well that wasn't my initial question?

plus i usuallt do look before I ask, but I would think that a general question like this should be answered in the description..thus dozens of people asked it..
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Did you just skip over the entire first page? Read the 2nd post. Sure, you definitely looked. Looked as in glanced.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Let's be clear here everyone for the last time. Read the first page. Have a custom recovery. Flash the file. Continue flashing the file after ROM updates and upgrades where /system is touched. Changelogs are always posted with the download links. Otherwise just assume it as a bugfix for your GPU. Chances are if you're looking for a changelog and can't find it you probably wouldn't have a clue what the changelog is talking about. And I don't mean to insult the knowledge of others, but before asking it will save everyone time including yourself if you look through the thread or search it on Google. It WILL pop-up. Chances are if you had a question, more often than not it has been asked already so just look through the thread before asking. It makes it easier for us to answer other legitimate questions in a timely manner that either have yet to been asked or are not covered by the Op or in the thread.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
the answer to this question for everything you find here: better, but might break your device
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
But this is the Nexus 5 thread anyways and it doesn't break anything noticeable on it.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
it's the simplest answer that pretty much covers the entire forum
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I don't agree. I've actually noticed improvement in huge graphic intensive games. It was designed by Qualcomm aka the people that make the drivers for the hardware that is in our phones. I would imagine they have very high standards for releasing even a beta. In fact this month's August 8th release was over a month from when they released drivers in July. Surely with all that time they must be testing it.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
1. "Better"-Me

2. I understand where they come from. And they, themselves say they are not suitable for release
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Well, to you I say just try it. You can always revert. You will surely appreciate it if you play graphic intensive games. And many others have posted that these drivers have fixed problems for them as well. Well the way I see it is.. Qualcomm doesn't state it breaks anything. A major bug would be known by now with all of the users constantly flashing it on the N5, heck we even have people from other device forums trying to flash these.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
I think you completely missed the point of my original statement
[Nexus 5 General] kingofmb:
No 3G reception

Just flash the latest drivers and found that there is no more 3G reception after that. any idea?
[Nexus 5 General] infatality:
Lol? What had gpu driver got to do with 3g? Totally not related.. Dirty flash whatever rom you on and see if the issue appear.
[Nexus 5 General] Hormesis:
Finally gave these a try, and so far so good!
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Maybe you accidentally flashed a radio?
[Nexus 5 General] BruKnowsBest:
What type of improvements have you guys been seeing with the new driver?????
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
GPU overclock to 1337GHz, runs Titanfall at 420fps

Unless you specifically have the fps cap disabled, its probably because scrolling cache.
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Lol, sarcasm sarcasm everywhere :D why don't people just flash it and see for themselves. It doesn't explode your device after all
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Well now I wouldn't go that far. The warning on Qualcomm's website does state it's a real possibility.
[Nexus 5 General] BruKnowsBest:
Titanfall???? I feel some sarcasm in the air lol

if your phone runs Titanfall I want it hahahhaha
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yeah, and it also can run Destiny, Evolve, Halo 5, Battlefield: Hardline and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare even though they're not released yet ;)
[Nexus 5 General] BruKnowsBest:
Is this the future?
[Nexus 5 General] xXDanielHDXx:
Lets be honest, i cant feel any difference in a game my self, so i used antutu and got around 33000 points instead of 34987 before. Using Elementalx with Stock Frequencies and Z2 Bionic and Dalvik Optimizations. Stock rom tough. i dont know why i get so low points, people say like "elementalx at stock clocks should be around 38000"... :/
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
These hardly affect benchmarks (if they do at all). It's probably some other factor like heat or background processes.

Not only this thread, wonder if they do the same signing a important contract. Read and if you duo not intend read again. Then search, you don't find it search again. Then ask questions.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Really hoping that Advanced Warfare isn't as bad as Ghosts, you only needed Amplify to pull off a KEM. I quit competitive COD because of camping Beach users and decided to knife only in TDM / KEM in FFA, and play solo Domination cause my clan was a deadbeat one. But man how cool would it be if we could play COD on Android with people on PS4/Xbox/PC?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Ghosts isn't a bad game, just a little bit different, and there's always going to be those people anyways lol.

People complain about dying too fast in it, but I've always only played hardcore on MW2 and still do, I hated normal core for some reason LOL

Enough off topic tho ;)

How to flash these drivers on the phone? It`s not rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
No root no fun
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You don't need root access, you need a custom recovery.

Just because you have a custom recovery, doesn't mean you have root access.

Just because you have root access, doesn't mean you have a custom recovery.
