Android Games WILL be improved thanks to NDK r3 and OpenGL ES 2.0

Developers on the Android platform have already been pushing the boundaries of Android gaming. Even Quake 3 has been seen running on the Android platform. Things can only get better with today’s announcement.

The Android Developers Blog today announced the availability of the NDK r3 that will let android developers directly access OpenGL ES 2.0 features.

Applications targeting Android 2.0 (API level 5) or higher can now directly access OpenGL ES 2.0 features. This brings the ability to control graphics rendering through vertex and fragment shader programs, using the GLSL shading language.

A new trivial sample, named “hello-gl2″, demonstrates how to render a simple triangle using both shader types.

With access to these enhanced OpenGL ES features game graphics should be greatly improved and we should start to see an awesome future for Android gaming. Obviously, we still need developers to take advantage of the new API and have the hardware powerful enough to use it, but everything is getting real close to serious gaming on Android.

:D just waiting for it ! Good job!
[G1 Android Development] bakgwailo:
Kind of makes sense now why the binary 3D driver broke from 1.6->2.0 :)
[G1 Android Development] huhaifan1:
and i most care about whether our G1 are supported ?!
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
well if the rumors about every single android device being upgraded to 2.1 in the US are true then id think so. we already have partial 3D working, so i think with this release the devs will be able to make it work
[G1 Android Development] Chainfire:
Except the chip in the G1 is not built for 2.0.

IMHO, if you'll see 2.0 drivers on the G1 (or Hero) it'll be software. But I'd love to be proven wrong, so please do.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
from what ive read on androidspin and phandroid, some phones will receive a slimmer 2.1 that doesnt support lwp OTA. some devs have found ways to use software libs and kernel edits to use partial 3D acceleration in some 2.1 roms. Firerat and Case_ managed to get 3D and Youtube HD working on Canon's Roms. The next OpenEclair should have fully working 3D, lwps, and video according to wesgarner, so i think that this upcoming release mentioned in the article will provide more tools for our devs to use on the G1.
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
but when EXACTLY - like DATE - are they coming!?
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
The NDK is available now, maybe the devs should look into it:

http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/ndk/index.html
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
This doesn't at all in any way say that we're getting 2.0 drivers for the G1. All it's saying is that phones with 2.0 will be able to directly access ES2.0 functions.

Which, really, has absolutely nothing to do with the driver issue we face. Unless you can point out something I missed.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
sorry i probably misunderstood the article =/

im still not very experienced with android development, i thought this would help the devs a little bit with getting 3d working (since theyre already doing that without official drivers)
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
I did indeed get a humongous boner on reading this earlier. It was enhanced by 3D.

My favorite part about this is the new ability to use openGL in apps! That means the entire face of our OS is going to change.

...and speaking of OS... Qualcom/htc just released a new radio for the G1. The G1 To this day holds over 50% of the android installed user base. There is no doubt the G1 will live beyond 1.X
[G1 Android Development] Freedomcaller:
bleah writing games in opengl es 1.0 was hard enough...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
agreed

the binary still needs to be available

as far as I can see with have two

the open source one

/system/lib/egl/libGLES_android.so

and the proprietary

/system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so

the quoted text in the OP is basically stating that an Android developer will now be able to mix in a little c/c++ to get direct native access to opengl es

functions
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
sorry guys like i said i misunderstood =/ i was hoping the NDK would provide some help but i now see its pretty much for apps, facepalm >_<;

edited the title to avoid further confusion lol
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
Was just about to do that, thanks :).

I'm sure we'll get drivers eventually, either hacked or official. Just a matter of time.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
haha no problem, glad to see i have a moderator type mentality. lol

yeah im sure we will, theyre already partially working, so its only a matter of time hopefully
[G1 Android Development] spocky12:
What Chainfire said is that there is no hardware support for OpenGl ES 2.0 in msm720x chips. (refs here, sorry couldn't find official spec datasheet).

So even if 2.0 is supported, it will only be through software drivers implementation, which means really slow rendering.
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
Thats right.

But most Games will probably/hopefully still be written for OpenGL1.1. (Because of the userbase whatsoever)
[G1 Android Development] Riel:
For a start, but to focus at the future, too bad, the G1 will get old sooner :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
To bad this isn't supported by the Dream, at least better games like RT-2 will be made....Not much of a phone gamer though...
[G1 Android Development] Phippu:
Great! I've written an advanced 3D Engine for Windows Mobile, now also with OpenGl ES 2.0 support. Is anyone interested in the engine for android? If yes I'll port the code for anroid, so it will be much easier to create real 3d games.
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Yes I wouldn't mind if you ported it.
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
An enginge would be great... just make it an option to use openGL ES 1.1 as my phone doesn't support 2.0 :p
[G1 Android Development] Phippu:
That's no problem, the current engine supports only 1.x, 2.0 is in developement and it can be used for both apis. I'll start a poll wether developers would like an android or xna port of the engine as soon as 2.0 implementation is done. I think Android port is more liked;-P
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
Lol I have never heared of xna :P

So I guess it will be android. And hope :)

Just starting with android app development. and a 3d engine would come in handy.
[G1 Android Development] Phippu:
xna is the framework for windows phone 7 and the xbox 360 to programm 3d with c#. I don't know yet if it is possible to acces opengl with wp7, so i think it will be the anroid port:rolleyes:. It will be somewehre in the summer when i'm done, first i' have to implement some more ogles 2.0 beauty. I think it will not be too hard to port it, since c# and java are very similar, only to port the windows mobile stuff could be hard...
[G1 Android Development] Phippu:
So, here are the first screenshots from the next demo that shows a bump map shader combined with blinn shading...

Oh. Wrong Thread:-)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaholic:
With the release of the 2.1 with camera and the new kernel. I've found myself checking this forum every chance I get. It has become so addicting that I can't even think of anything else. Almost once every hour, I get on my laptop pop open my browser and goto xda-developers.com (even in my sleep!). "Did they fix facebook sync?! or maybe video recording!" I ponder in my head as the page loads, secretly crossing my fingers. "Alas not yet, no worries I'll check again in another hour (or maybe 45 minutes)" Making sure I have the LATEST has become more important than meals. My friends don't recognize me anymore, not one shares in my excitement when I say LIVE WALLPAPERS! I don't know what to do. Someone please help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
I hope you are being sarcastic? If not, try getting a girlfriend :) My girlfriend has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend on here :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkinx64:
I have xda open always....feeding directly to my phone..and subscribed to a few threats ;D welcome to our world .... any way of doing some cool XDA tshirts?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
oddly enough, my girlfriend got me STARTED with this android crap...she bought me the phone lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Oh damn! I got no solutions then haha.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
HA! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. My girlfriend isn't fanatical but she thoroughly enjoys the fruits of my obsession(s). She loves fresh 1.1 and the performance improvements of the gumbo kernel.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisyoung:
this was truly funny to read.

with all the crap and drama that's been happening in this forum, i'm so glad you posted something that was truly funny to read and relevant(kind of?) at the same time.

thank you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaholic:
glad it helped..i was so sick of the drama myself.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timeline62x:
i dont kno if this question has been posted it probably has but i cant find it

which is the best spl for me i like flashing many custom roms like kings 2.1 and other stuff

i guess i would prefer speed

and giv me a link plz thanks much
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
This is what you will use. It is completely safe if you follow those instructions. Don't let the name scare you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
Death SPL will give you the best compatibility with any ROM and the only thing you have to be careful of is DON'T flash an old radio or anything that includes an old radio (RC29, etc.). Other than that, it's good to go.
[HD2 General] dicksonjoe:
How do i turn off the screen tap with vibrate??

thanks
[HD2 General] band27:
I don't have my device on me but just scroll across to settings in manila and it should be in personal or something or rather....
[HD2 General] ishida:
Okie, Do this. Go to settings tab => Personalize => Vibration => un check => done
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vg1134:
I recently bought a mytouch from ebay. Its a new unopened mytouch, and I can't seem to find anyone to unlock it. anyone having this issue with a recently made (2010) mytouch ???

Did they change something that no one seem to be able to generate a code for a remote unlock.

Sir, I am just purchased the Samsung GT-C6625 Windows Mobile, & I want the software for this mobiles. Please help me.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sirji00111:
ha ha ha

friend me too have made such mistake of buying gt c6625.

well my issue was that i am student and so i made compromise to buy this instead of other some more brick like sets.

if u r not student then why u did u bought this brick. i believe that blackberry is doing much better in without touch in comparision wm standarf without touch.
[HD2 General] manufesto:
hi all...

i picked up this phone with very high expectations..

but then there initial glitches of SMS's, ROMs etc were quite a turn off..

after some research found this site and was able to upgrade the ROM and found some really nice applications.. thanks a lot to all the developers..

but my phone has become painfully slow post that.. specially the SMS in thread view.. The SWYPE keyboard takes almost 10 seconds to punch in a word and it takes almost a minute for the SMS to go after i press the send button.. and if i get a call in between typing an SMS then it all goes haywire...

resetting the phone helps but some times it hangs on reset too... and i have to do it 2-3times in a day...

and the battery lasts only half a day... have to keep charging it...

i am not a technical guy.. i have the following configuration...

OS version - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila version - 2.5.19211619.0

Rom Version - 1.66.707.1 (76641)WWE - Upgraded from some 1.44 if i remember correct

radio version - 2.06.51.07

pleaseeeeeeeee suggest........
[HD2 General] Matthes42:
The only way to find it out is the following:

Make a hardreset and install one application after the other. Leave some time between the installations in order to watch the power consumption.
[HD2 General] Kasias:
The only serious slow-down I had with the phone was when I'd connected to a large share on my NAS drive using the Network plugin. I'd then go into file explorer or Total Commander, and for the next few hours it was stuttering and pausing while it cached all the data. I don't know if it's the same issue, but I thought I'd add my experience.
[HD2 General] bjerde:
One way to try to find out what is hogging power is to install Battlog (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=444920).

Then install something that lets you kill unnecessary processes, for example the Tool (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-the-tool.html).

Then soft reset your phone and make sure you do not run any processes other than the "standard ones" (what that is you'll have to find out by trial and error, I'm afraid).

Then start Battlog and start logging to file, let it run for a while and see how the power consumption is. Then you can start one app and see if that affects the consumption, and if not, start another one, etc, etc.

Time consuming and painful, but easier than a hard reset IMHO.
[HD2 General] manufesto:
have tried everything...

the phone works alright otherwise

but hangs or becomes slow every-time i am using the SMS function... i have about 2000 Sms's in the device.. but i had more than 10000 in my previous HTC with a 200MHz processor...

do i need to update the SMS with some Hotfix... cause i was having trouble with SMS getting stuck in the Outbox when i updated the ROM and that problem was fixed..

Kindly suggest...
[HD2 General] michedenhaag:
10000 saved sms??
[HD2 General] JamesRC:
Unfortunately this will slow the HD2 massively. I restored about 1200 messages and it really slowed the device. Try deleting all messages (use PPC Pim Backup first, free) and see if it helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
I've got a workaround going through the browser but something for the app would be nice.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
Yes I have searched the threads.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
What's the problem? I installed GV fine on my phone, and am using it for voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
that's pretty interesting, I didn't realize mine was broke untill you said something.... interesting... hmm

now are you sure it's all 2.1 roms? darch's 2.1 aosp I could have sworn google voice was working on it.

EDIT: check outgoing phone calls via google voice
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
Are you on fresh or Darch?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
was darch, now fresh, will go back to darch once he updates to .29 kernel
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ItsDon:
My GV works perfect on Gumbo 2.1
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
If I need to dial out to somewhere it matters I gotta go through the web browser. Just like I had to on my blackberry.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
How would I pull that out of the rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
pull and replace the following

\system\app\phone.apk

\system\app\phone.odex

I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JMadr:
I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?

Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.

I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flexgrip:
I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!

Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tenny:
Go to this url: https://www.google.com/voice/m
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ebuechler3:
i seen a post that said to install google voice0.2 apk for 2.1, and it worked for me.... just type in rulermon in the search bar and read the fixes! thank god!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tenny:
Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] measter:
Same here.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] NCX001:
suckage

I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.

Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

sms/mms issue

No, I'm running Mighty Rom with manila 2.1. I went ahead and installed the cab file but, I still can't send pictures through sms/mms. Any ideas? I also had a friend forward me a picture and I'm able to receive it but can't view it. Please help?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] slight22:
Check with your carrier. I know TELUS won't allow us to send pictures via sms.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jose_alvrz11:
No, I was able before I installed Mighty Rom. So I should be able to.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jose_alvrz11:
Hey stickigure, that seem to fix my problem. After I installed the cab file I restarted and then I was able to view and send mms/sms messages.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] razcat64:
Is there a way to bypass the size limit that you can send via sms i believe the limit is 500kb cause i tried to send a pic that was 571kb and i was unable to send help
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] em0rox:
I would like to know if it is possible to send larger images as well if anyone knows. Also, anyone know why mightyrom stops the sending of mms messages?? o_O
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kbcarroll:
alright, sorry to hijack/revive.

I'm on mightyrom (latest, june 20 2010).

I've tried every thread I can dig up to fix the MMS. this one got me the closest.

I've even wiped the phone and reflashed the ROM 3 times! even tried different roms (mightyrom experimental ones, cookie, energy, etc).

I haven't gotten MMS working in any of them. I've installed, uninstalled cabs countless times.

so far, the arcsoft file posted earlier has gotten me the farthest, but still no fix. I receive the notice that it's trying to download an MMS, but it says "invalid argument" and forces me to retry. then an endless loop of "invalid argument." can't send them either.

I'm on the brink of locking my SPL and going to the MR2 official rom.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
Why would you go to stock? There are plenty of good roms out there, and Mighty isn't even the greatest, IMO. My rom works with arcsoft preinstalled perfectly on sprint. Mighty belongs to the Telus network, so he can't even test for Sprint devices.
