Totaly fake!

I had installed it by recovery mode and unless I made a mistake, but I realy quess not, It doesn't install the plugin and Doesn't fake anything.

The ONLY thing it does is download bunches of ads, change screen resolution, texture size and show fps ONLY! No shader's, no nothing!

Other than this is pure fakeness and does not change anything so I don't see the point of have those others tweaks if they don't work at all.

I have done a lot of tweaks and tests with it's inside fps view tool as measuring tool and see no change in a 3D loop rendering part inside a game ( sky force trophies section).

PS: I have downloaded the last XDA version in this thread at the developer's posted link.

Sorry if I sound rude but this made me lost my precious time and it seems this XDA version was made to fool people and make money only (I really expect not since I loved the original version and have all my respect as a true piece of art made by n0n4m3).

The original paid version it's a relic of true power and I guess it should come by default on every android smartphone, at least it would do a great change more than tons of bloatware all together we see this days.

Sorry if i'am wrong and I will apologize if it was by my mistake.

Hello.

Hi guys..

What is the difference between this app and samsung game tuner?
[Android Apps and Games] JBolho:
WTF? I used this version for a long time and it worked as it should...

In fact, it's the only reason i ever bought the Play Store version, and i still use it today in my Zenfone 2 running a LinOS 14.1 based Rom.

How do i know it works? I still play some Tegra version games like DeusEx THD, and i also use it on XCom EW.

This XDA version is what i used to be able to play HalfLife 2 on my old Mi3, it never failed me...

Could it be that the links are no longer the same and it's downloading some fake version without the dev's knowledge? Weird...
[Android Apps and Games] anjel05:
Hi dev how about fps scalling in the next update?
[Android Apps and Games] Scarr3:
You can play a lot more games just by changing the resolution or texture sizes, but the real deal of this app is the plugin that should come with it. This plugin does the hard work with emulations and other stuff that I don't know how to explain, but as I said before, the only ting this XDA version does is: change texture sizes, resolution size. This really is something but, the other stuff doesn't work without this plugin. So the only thing tthis XDA app version does is reduce the game quality to make it playable, it doesn't optimize anything at all. The paid version let you reduce quality if you need but also optimize the graphics to work smoother in your game/app. Do you feel me now?
[Android Apps and Games] JBolho:
I used this version and now i use the paid version. They both allow to emulate different GPU's, use Anti Aliasing and optimize shaders. The paid version only has more options to improve that emulation, that's it.

If a game is optimized for a better GPU, like Tegra or Adreno 530, you can emulate that GPU and make it run with better graphics. The driver is always the same, the TEXDecoder... So basically, your affirmation of saying the free version only serves to downgrade graphics, is false.

Hi,

I need to uninstall gltools, but cannot :( !!! I flash the uninstall zip, it does its thing, i reboot, but it is still there (not the installer the actual app asking me to select an app to configure) I have repeated the process a total of 3 times to no avail before asking for help. Please, i dont want to wipe my phone, is there anyway to get rid of it ? I am running Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 (android 7.1.2) on a verizon note 4 . Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am down to the wipe and reinstall option i dont want to do. Ive used this app for years and never encountered this problem before now so im totally clueless . I didnt see anything in the thread like my circumstance either.

[Android Apps and Games] apa64:
In case someone has the same kind of problems I had and searches for a solution, here's my experience:

I installed GLtoolsXDA from the 1st post on my Nexus 10 running Pure Nexus 7.1.2_r24 (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-10/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3485706), probably 20170422 package, rooted, Slim GAPPS, TWRP 3.1.0. I selected the option to install with recovery, booted to recovery, installed install_gltools.zip and booted.

The result was not good. Boot stuck to "Google" screen, would not turn off, only rebooted to same state (= bootloop). Finally I remembered the correct key combo (force reboot with power held down, held down both vol up + vol down) and got the Android screen, selected BOOT RECOVERY with vol + power keys and got back to TWRP.

Uninstall by flashing uninstall_gltools.zip did not help, wipe cache+dalvik did not help but I didn't want to factory reset. Then, the final solution... I dirty flashed the Pure Nexus zip, wipe cache+dalvik and that saved me from factory reset: now Nexus boots back to Android, only thing I lost was the desktop icons - even my background image stayed the same :)

So, if your device don't play nice with GLTools and you get bootloop, try dirty flashing your current ROM. Worked for me, but of course it might totally brick your device :)

/edit:/ as pointed out by [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION], BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING GLtools. I didn't and got problems which would have been very simple to solve with an up-to-date backup...

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

So now to my question. How can I run GLTools on Nexus 10 with PureNexus 7.1.2 to fix "The Wolf Among Us"? I have black textures in the game.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
a Nandroid before you flash any zip would most probably be a better path/option for recovering from a bad flash.

[Android Apps and Games] JBolho:
The app is probably not fully compatible with newer Android versions and can't emulate newer GPU's, since it's not updated for a long time. It's likely to be obsolete by now because of Android new paths, permissions, behaviour, etc.

Things are not eternal you know...

Anyway, if this is the case, a big thank you to the Dev for all these years. (Played HL2 on my Mi3 years ago thanks to this great app)

EDIT:

The developer n0n3m4 has responded to my email. Here is what the developer n0n3m4 said:

"Hello,

Unfortunately, the Android 10 changes (like "scoped storage") and automated Google Play ban madness forced me to quit from this platform entirely and forget about it.

Due to an amount of "security changes" in Android 10, it's not a surprise that GLTools doesn't work there.

Finally, GLTools was sold to other developers, hopefully they will re-release it one day.

Under agreement they will have to provide premium for all users that had the original GLTools."

Hey man,

after a lot of tinkering, I can now run both Portal and Half life 2 on my Xiaomi Mi 9 (GLTools working, Magisk + disabled licence checking + custom settings and whatnot). Flawless FPS, microlags occur rarely, but. Although I see all the textures and lights, the lightning itself seems very dark. F.e. at the beginning of Chapter 2 in HL2, when the second man comes into the laboratory, he is just black. Not a problem with textures tho, when he's near the PC screen, he's lit up enough so I can see his face. The same in Portal, everything is just a little too dark. If I were on a PC, I would just crank up the gamma, but there are no real options on mobile Portal/Hl2. I don't think that my display is the problem, as it's an OLED screen with nice colors and maximum brightness. Do you have similar problems, or is it just me? Can you maybe think of a solution, off the top of your head? Thanks a lot in advance, I hope that this doesn't bother you too much.
