Somebody please tell me straight up, is it really even possible to recover from one these supposed "boot loops" or do yall work for the phone companies, and deploy these kind of softwares to dupe idiots like me into installing them to permanently destroy their phones so we have to buy new ones?

This is the second and last phone I have had destroyed simply by "uninstalling" your software. The Alcatel is now no longer Authorized by computer, but my Kyocera is still setup to work on ADB, but cant access it because after hitting "Uninstall" GLTools, now the phone boots up, vibrates 3 times, flashes the blue led on the front, and reboots and does it again, cannot use ADB or anything now.

Did you install a script on my phone or something to force it to loop the boot sequence? Seriously please let me in on the secret.
not all devices have official twrp/cwm . Check xda forums for ur phone and if it has a custom recovery.... If not either find a working stock recovery and flash it (assuming ur current recovery is faulty since factory reset isnt working) if that isnt working the ultimate solution is to flash bootimage of ur device through fastboot....
Btw nobody here will gain anything by fooling anyone... nobody is trying to fool you

way too much newbies are here!!!
here is the way how it should work, first install the latest version. Now when you try to open it for the first time you will see 2 options in above and 3 box options in the last. From the first select 2nd option, after you tap it, this option's letters will be showing in white. Now check all 3 boxes which is in last. now install, don't try to recovery install if you don't know what are you doing. At that point, root permission will be asked and give it that. Now your handset will be reboot.
After reboot, after open the app, you will see the list of your apps which are installed. Now select your desired app and check 1st and 4th option, then go to select fake gpu option, check it. Now is the big job, select "use a template" option. In here you will see many GPU's name, select Adreno 320 which is worked for the most of the device.
Now exit the app and try to open your desired app to see the result. If you want then change other things.

Getting more lag?

Hi, I'm trying to optimize Walking War Robots with the xda version 2.01. I reduced the resolution x.5 and used the EGL and 2d resolution hacks to make it work, but I'm getting even lower frame rates! How does this happen?

Hi

Just noticing the permission differences between the one on the Play store and the one on this thread, why does the XDA version want Accounts and Locations access?

Cheers

    GLTOOLS XDA VERSION
    Today With permission of the developer of this excellent and very useful app.
    If u were using android since the ages of gingerbread u would probably know about Chainfire 3D
    And this app is closest to that app.

    All the development was done by @n0n3m4 and only him. I am just sharing his beautiful piece of work.
    If u can and want to support the dev please consider buying his app from the Play Store.
    Play Store Link


    What it is (Google Play Description):
    -------**** Root and a writable /system partition are required! Please, read the description completely! ****-------
    GLTools is a custom OpenGL driver (proxy), that is compatible with any known OpenGLES 2.0-compatible GPU + ARM processor, x86 processors are not supported (Galaxy Tab 3 for example). If you still don't understand, what this app is, the closest known analog is Chainfire3D.
    Features list:
    - Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default.
    - Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU.
    - Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you'll install a plugin (internet is required to do that)
    - Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
    - Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
    - Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you are a pro)
    GLTools is 100% safe if you have a custom recovery installed (and you didn't disable backup in GLTools install dialog), if you'll find it non-working, you can just flash uninstall_gltools.zip in recovery and email me with details (or request a refund).
    Tested on:
    - HTC One X
    - Nexus 7 2013
    - LG G2
    Failed on:
    - Some Samsung devices (random). The lowest success rate is with SGN3 and SGS4 (thx to Knox). Installing a custom kernel can help, this problem is firmware-related. The same for Lenovo devices.
    Legal information:
    By using this app, you agree to all the following terms:
    User is responsible to make sure that any plugins he uses are legal to use. All texture plugins (except for Default) are written by independent developers and are placed on a 3rd-party webserver (except for Default which is builtin), which has nothing to do with me, a GLTools author, except for that I provide a simple in-app browser to install them (as all we know, browser creators have nothing to do with any abusive Internet content, the same thing here).
    User is responsible to make sure that this app won't cause any EULA violation. GLTools is designed for debugging of apps that user is author of, any other usage is not officially supported. Anyway, this app changes system libraries only and doesn't cause any binary modification of 3rd-party apps.
    All trademark usage is nominative, nominative usage is Fair Use, it doesn't require any permission from trademark holder. Any trademarks are the property of their owners anyway.
    If you think that GLTools itself is illegal, you can always contact me via n0n3m4dev@gmail.com
    Source code of used GNU Binutils (assembler, linker, etc) and Busybox can be obtained by writing to n0n3m4dev@gmail.com

    Heres The Download Link:

    Use and Basic Instructions

    Use and Basic Instructions:

    The App may seem complicated but with a bit of patience u can get it to work nice.
    Have u ever felt that your gpu (graphic processor) isnt upto the mark?
    Have u ever wanted a tegra game but u have a adreno gpu?
    Have u ever encountered Graphical errors such as black objects and .....?
    Game running slow but u havent got a game booster?
    Want to decrease visual quality for better performance?
    Want Chainfire3D to work on jellybean?

    All these questions can be answered using this app "Gltools".
    It can fake gpu so u can play a tegra(and other gpu) exclusive game on any poorly known GPU's.
    U can also fake CPU(havent personally tried it..
    U can decrease Visual Quality of a game to increase performance.
    U can have an onscreen FPS counter.
    And the last few of the many options are some fixes and alternatives.
    (Dont be ashamed to point out any critical points I've missed or any errors I've made in my post)


    Instructions(Settings are Mainly intended for low end devices):

    -Install gltools
    (Note: Enable backup option in the app in case something goes wrong. a cwm flashable zip which can uninstall gltools will be formed)
    -Open app. then give root access and install tex plugin(and not none otherwise this app wont work how its supposed to)
    -Reboot the phone
    -Open app. a list of apps installed will come up
    -Select ur app(gta 3 for me)
    -Check on enable custom setting
    -Tick force 16 bit rendering
    -Tick optimize glsl shaders
    -Set enable texture decomp. to all(to incr quality otherwise set to none)
    -Set enable texture recomp. to none
    -Set downscale textures to 0.5 and check if it still lags make 0.25x(anything below that will make text unreadable)
    -I also faked gpu info though it may not be needed (i did adreno 320)
    -In gta 3 display setting i minimised the resolution and draw distance disabled frame limiter
    -Now the game is very smooth (textures are blurred and graphics are low)

    Please do share ur own config for any game u manage to make smooth (or make it run if it wasnt earlier)
    These settings are not always ideal. Do try combinations yourself
    That would be all from my side.

    UPDATE[12/5/2015]: (Thanx to @varunrocks17) template for adreno 430 to play games at higher graphics
    Here r the values to b entered to morph any GPU(ideally adreno) as adreno 430
