[DEV][GPU] Adreno 220 ICS Driver patch [Needs Work]

Saw this posted in the t989 section, and thought I would x-post it here in case there are any devs that care to play around with it. Apparently, it does not seem to work for the few t989 people that have tried to flash it.

t989 thread:

Greetings, I have been on XDA for a long time and I hope that you all can benefit from this patch as we have over at the Amaze Forums. Here is a link to my Original Thread and evidence of this patch's success for our Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU devices running ICS.

We have proven that this driver Patch has doubled our GPU throughput for 2D and 3D rendering.

I have only tested this on my T-Mobile HTC Amaze (Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU) and have not experienced any issues.

I have created this Recovery Flashable Patch to Install the Qualcomm Updated Adreno Drivers on the "Official Ruby ICS" release.

I did not get a screenshot of the results before flashing this, however I have seen dramatically improved result on my Quadrant 3D scores with "Force 2D GPU rendering" UNCHECKED in the Setting->Develop Options Menu of this ICS Release. With this option checked I have seen improvements on both 2D and 3D. Although results are slightly degraded for 3D from post update the 2D results have doubled in value.

Quadrant results were obtained immediately after restart to avoid any other processes interfering with the results.

AFTER "Adreno ICS Update" Screenshot 2D Rendering NOT checked.

AFTER "Adreno ICS Update" Screenshot 2D Rendering CHECKED.

If someone would post a screenshot of the before Quadrant result I would gladly add it to this post. Please only post results Immediately after restart for conformity.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich Required
Root Required

Pre Requisites fulfilled (Root) (ICS)
Install "Adreno ICS Update" to the root of your SD Card
Toggle Signature Verification in Recovery
Install zip via Recovery
Fix Permissions
Reboot
ENJOI!!!

Thank you dhkr234 for the flashable zip framework.

Please post any other tested configurations and I will add them for other community members reference.

The usual warning goes here. I'm not responsible for what you do, or how you execute, use this at your own risk!

Just because he used a quadrant SS doesnt mean its useless. It does more than increase quadrant score.

Guys, as I posted in original thread, this DOES NOT WORK, WE WILL TRY TO FIX IT THOUGH.

Looks pretty legit to have.
Double my GPU output, whynot? =]

Quadrant is outdated but its still interesting to see who gets the higher scores out of your friends/family.

Agreed. I didn't post them though. It just seemed easier to quote the OP/creator from the original thread.

Indeed. I noted that in the OP. I just wanted to post it here in case there might be someone that misses the thread in the t989 section who would be interested in looking into it.
