I can't run Asphalt8 so I can't do much. I don't want to argue with you and I'm not. I just want to clarify it.

1. I didn't tried Asphalt8 before. I was told that it was working in KK or JB before. Is this true?

2. I had checked. The dock driver was already disabled in the kernel. There must be something wrong in the logic. I don't know why setting the hardware switch on would bring up the soft keyboard. It is not the case for my other devices. Phones and other tabs (also from Samsung) can have dock without issue and it is working before. I assume that it is not related too.

3. I didn't get the apk from Play which is always a PIA via VPN. I downloaded it from other sources which people in local forum gave me. I don't know if there are extra different module to download for OpenGL2 and 3. All I got is one apk. Since it is working sometime before, that's why I don't think there is difference too.

4. The spec. you read is for the hardware years ago. In http://malideveloper.arm.com, MP-4xx only have update upto r4p1 but newer chips have it.

It has to be opensource for Linux so the kernel driver is not a problem. The Gralloc module is almost the same. I have tried the newer driver too. It is ok to a certain point. Framebuffer can work with the console but we don't have the binary user-space components to match it yet.

The driver we are using is newer than the one in i9100. It was for Mali-450, 470 and T6xx but it can be modified to work for us too. There are newer one but the binary has some issues which I haven't deal with yet. We can disassemble it and back engineer or binary hack it as before. It might be a very long shot and we can't tell the performance. I would take another look once a while. It just requires a lot of test and patience.

The latest kernel driver and binary component sets can support OpenGL3.1 and OpenCL now. Yeah, our hardware might be really outdated but that's not my concern. I'm still using the antique Celeron to build. :D

I had included some links for you to read before. For years, the OpenGL3 library is just a link to the OpenGL2 library. It is still the case in Linux and newer Mali chips.

Everyone has different interest and agenda. It doesn't mean who's capable and/or who's not. I can't speak for the others. What i9100 can or can not doesn't mean we can or can't. Why always compare? I won't set it as the limit for me. Who have an iPhone, who drive a Ferrari doesn't means anything to me.

Many people said impossible before. Light sensor for i815, Rotation glitches, RIL library, IR remote, Bluetooth, F2FS, etc. I believe there are things definitely can't be done. There are always something beyond my reach and ability but l seldom surrender without a fight. I just won't promise the thing I'm not sure. Right now, I'm trying the double tap to wake. See if I can break another spell or curse. :D

By the way, turn out that there is a DRM L1 library missing for both i9100 and us. I lowered the DRM back to L3, not because you said i9100 do the same. It is because you have really tested and confirm it. I don't mind following your suggestion if you confirm it, not just believe it.

Have a nice day! ;)
