[Microsoft Surface Duo Themes, Apps, and Mods] cqqx2:
*shouldn't start this way but this first paragraph is for the SAVY Rooted SURFACE DUO USERS whom understand drivers and this whole comcept of the ability to upgrade Adreno drivers, LOOKNG TO SKIP THE FLUFF AND CUT THE CHASE *expedited summary*

You can see your current Display/graphics driver via an app like AIDA64 via the play store (for reference my up to date Android 12 Duo had v502 drivers).... The installation is like any standard magisk module. Simply flash a suitable SM8150(aka snapdragon 855/Andreno 640) driver via magisks/Fox's MMM obtained from this link:

be sure to read the details of the different varients... I recocommend starting with the stock 530. Use at your own risk,.. I recommend the 530 edition, as they have reported no known issues, after install you can verify the current driver version via an app like AIDA64...

Ps.. I used fox's MMM to install the magisk module for the stock 530 first, and after verifyimg all was well, I was able to revert to v502 simply by uninstalling via Foxs MMM & rebooting... so that gave me confidence to install the version I am using currently which ist The December 2022 530 release posted, that also emulates being an ADRENO 730...it's actually as smooth as butter, past first 24hrs & benchmark tests etc (no battery studies by me tho so you'll have to explore that yourself as all I can say is that my temps were much more stable in AnTuTu enroute to higher scores.. also I have not tried the later drivers, opting to stay bug free with the v530 for now, since performance is already top tier imo, playing all games I have at max even prior, but the UI/UX is noticably more responsive and smooth which makes me eager for my pen to arrive as I'm certain these improvements will also translate there as well as the UX for me now has literally zero input/update delay)

Here goes a full post....I am not good at this but yeah..lemme drop something useful relevant and compatible to our devices I'm thanks 👍 *this is not any of my work nor is it specifically designed for Surface Duo users yet it works perfectly considering it's targeted for our same underlyimg hardware

------UPDATED/MODIFIED ADRENO 640 GRAPHICS DRIVERS TO BOOST OVERALL PERFORMANCE

...We all know Microsoft is historically behind when it comes to providing users with the latest hardware drivers and the situation is no different here....

Vroom, hello I've been super busy absolutely renovating my Surface Duo and I'm just felt this particular discovery of a mod would be a great one to highlight. Essentially, you more than likely are running outdated drivers for our Andreno 640, to identify exactly what version your drivers are, you can use the 'AIDA64' application to identify which drivers you are running (I'll guess v 502 if your surface is up to date on Android 12 like minea).. nevertheless we all know how important drivers can be to increased performance and implementation of various codimg advancements to enhance existing hardware. Your display drivers are oh so critical to your entire experience while using your device for absolutely any visible task, and especially are the backbone of gaming performance... So because this is such a useful all around mod for all of us looking to stay on the bleeding edge of things, I feel it would be unjust to not share such a useful thing that most Duo users may not otherwise sought out.

This is not my own tweak nor creation, so use this at your own risk. In which case, I will recommend that if your set-up is like mines, in that your Surface is running driver version 502 and is up to date with either Android 12, you should feel pretty safe to install this mod via FOXES MMM... However if you typically flash magisks mods in other fashions, well proceed with caution (only because I just don't know, however it is my belief that if you flash version 530 which has been determined stable and don't touch anything that isn't designed exclusively for OUR SURFACE DUO MODEL SM8150, that you should be safe..

Sorry i am not in the business of posts like these so let me just tell you my process of which I feel safe, however I am not suggesting there is any one correct way as I'm theory ,it's simply a matter of flashing the correct files to magisk..

But because I have to explain something without just assuming you're a modded that's already ready for the links

***********UPDATED AND MODIFIED GRAPHICS DRIVERS FOR SM8150 (SNAP855,A640)*****

Personal advice/info

*(I person highly recommended 530 as they have been reported essentially flawless and I can testify that even the very latest 530 mod posted that reports itself as being a fake Andreno 730 (this allowing more freedom in certain games that limit options based on hardware) nevertheless I am but a user who hasn't tried everything however I did beginning installing the stock v530 and confirming that after uninstalling with Foxs MMM that!y original 502; drivers safely returned prior to reaching for the recent December 530 fake a730 running ever so beautifully on my device currently *

*********Step 3

After downloading the desired SM8150 driver, use Fox's MMM and select install module from storage then reboot and confirm the updated driver version via AIDA64, that it!

**********DOME!
