Chainfire3D working:

---

REQUIRES ROOT.

I figured this deserves its own thread in here.

I had Chainfire3D purchased for my old myTouch 4G/HTC Glacier. I installed it on this device but was a bit worried about it doing some damage, so I made sure to do a nandroid backup before I even went with this experiment.

First thing you have to do is have C3D install its drivers which comes with a dire warning about it causing your phone not to boot. The installation will reboot your machine automatically.

The reboot took a few moments longer than usual, but it booted fine, and has since rebooted as normal since.

I tried Asphalt 6, which I also purchased some time ago for my Transformer tablet, and no dice. I went into C3D and installed the Nvidia emu that's attached below, and set it on a per-app basis against Asphalt 6, and voila! Runs perfect with no issues. Also, since our phones res is high, it looks even better than ever did on the Glacier.

Secondly, I used the market fix within C3D, and I can now view content not normally seen with our devices, as you can see below:



^ Runs and plays fine as well.

I had both emulator files attached, which you install by placing them in the internal SD. I used the "install plugin" option within C3D, and it scanned the SD card automatically for these files.

Fair warning: again, I did a nandroid backup on my machine prior to this. I also took a risk with the plugins, since they were designed for my Glacier's single-core Qualcomm. The risk paid off for me, but I won't take responsibility for anyone else's machine.

I am running stock rooted with the Adama003 kernel.

Sweet! Works great for me. I have a bunch of Tegra games from when I had my Droid X2.

Sorry to hear that. Was this ever resolved?

Thank you for testing and posting this ...

I loved Chainfire3D, if only for Nightmode and CF Lumen, since I don't play games on my phone ...

On my Droid X2, I had to disable screen animations or Chainfire would obliterate the screen/notification bar when rotating from portrait to landscape view. Is this still the case?

I have no such issues on my GS3.

Tested and working great on my T-Mobile GS3. Thank you
