Looks awesome. Don't think I'll be touching it though until someone with more knowledge than me can test it out better.

Hi,
OP updated with a test version of GLTools for XDA with almost no restrictions (dixit n0n3m4).
Since this version is not a paid version, please try it and leave feedbacks :good:

Hi,
Nothing to flash here, it's an app...
Installed, trying some settings... and trying to understand the settings with Chainfire's thread since some settings should be the same :laugh:

Hi,
It depends of what settings you used
I have not had time to take a closer look ...
It may be a good idea to move this thread to the generic Android Apps+Themes section as the Dev had granted you permission and has given a free community version of the application.

Hi,
For now, for me it's only about the G2. I could not follow the thread if it's related to another devices...
In any case feel free to report the thread if you really think that the Android general apps section would be better
Nobody else tests for the G2?
I have no time for now to test closely. I might send a PM to the dev to have more help.
One user has reported something but without any details and but never came back for more information...

i bought this app on playstore before i found out it was free here, which is perfectly fine as i consider that a well deserved donation, this is a project i really hope goes somewhere, my hope is that essentially, it'll do the same thing you might find in consoles, the backwards compatibility between generations of console, like being able to play a ps2 games on the ps3, but in this case being able to, for example, play tegra 2 games such as gameloft games (which i might add gamelofts piss poor support by the way), on more recent cpu's gpu's
And big kudos to the developer man, for providing a free version for the community, not alot of playstore devs do that, so when one does its something i definatly take notice off, and makes the donation even more worth is
One question though, which one is fully featured, the playstore version or the xda version, i dont see an option on the playstore version to download any texture plugin which has been mentioned either on this thread or the other one, is it in the playstore install by default
My particualr situation, im on 4.1.2 touchwiz, which has installed ok, no bootloops, no obvious issues with the install
My Device Specifications:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8010-4670.php
Cpu:
Exynos 4412
Gpu:
Mali-400MP
Im trying to get an old backup of a tegra 2 game "The Settlers HD" to work, right now, as soon as it gets pass the gameloft logo, everything goes white, literaly, the game runs, i can see and select text, i can load a map, but everything else is white, same thing with with another device which has tegra 3 cpu and a ULP GeForce Gpu......my question, any knowledgeble folks know if gltools can help me with this, or whether gltools can potentially in the future resolve this issue, ive tried gltools, but its like the blind leading the blind here, im randomly trying this and that and hoping something works, which granted is not the best approach, especially after seing a comment on samsung incompatibility AFTER the fact, feels like ive dodged a bullet, my device, a samsung device, doesnt seem to have suffered any ill effect, not one that is obvious anyway
heres a screenie

Hi,
Ok, I asked that the topic be moved in the Android Apps and Games general forum.
Maybe better visibility for feedback, help, etc... And since users with different devices posted here, you were right poo-tang this will be better
Wait and see...

opps, sorry, i didnt realise this was a specific device thread......i concur though, this thread probably should be in "general" android section, if OP is willing

Hi,
I'm the OP and yes I'm willing :laugh:
I'm waiting to know if it will be moved or not.
No worries, you can post here for another devices

Have you some settings to share? Tested in games?
Some feedbacks about improvements or something else?

Uninstall GLTools libs through it's menu, it will do a fast reboot, now make sure you open it with a working internet connection.
Above it will show deafault and TeX plugin, select TeX plugin (it will show with white color) and tick all 3 below and install.
There are 3 ways that developers do their games:
1. Specific platform:
They are only for a specific platform and for tegra they have THD in their name.
Only way to download a game like this if it's blocked, is to change build.prop device names temporary to let's say Tegra shield.
This will trick Play store into thinking that you have Tegra Shield and will let you download the game.
Restore build.prop backup and fake gpu in GLTools
2. Many platforms, different revisions for each
This is like Horn. They support Adreno, Mali, PowerVR and Tegra.
Whatever you have, will download different files (apk+obb). Obb are different because they use specific gpu vendor compressed textures and shaders.
In this category you change again build.prop to trick play store into downloading the correct version. If you 1st buy the game, you have to uninstall it and then change build.prop and download it again.
Restore build.prop backup and fake gpu in GLTools
3. Same for all
Like Dead trigger. Apk and obb is compatible with all. You only configure GLTools.
Decompression better be in Unsupported only. "All" requires a lot of ram, you don't have a problem so try this also.
Recompression the best quality is "Disable", this also will give probably faster load times. I leave it to Decompressed only though.
This needs a little clarification though. Because leaving compression sometimes helps in performance.
You certainly need Decompression to unsupported only and up though. Otherwise proprietary texture formats will show us black.
So basically it uncompress the textures, then it will load them and if the original was for let's say for tegra it will recompress it to one that is supported natively from the gpu you have. This is speculation though
But I think that's why Recompressing all is not recommended.
Test case speculation:
So let's say we have Format1 (for adreno), Format2 (tegra unsupported natively) and Raw (uncomressed):
Code:Settings: Decomp "Unsupported only", Recomp "Decompressed only" Raw->Load it Format1->Load it Format2->raw->Format1->Load itCode:Settings: Decomp "All", Recomp "Decompressed only" Raw->Load it Format1->Raw->Load it Format2->Raw->Format1->Load itCode:Settings: Decomp "All", Recomp "Disable" Raw->Load it Format1->Raw->Load it Format2->Raw->Load itCode:Settings: Decomp "Unsupported only", Recomp "Disable" Raw->Load it Format1->Load it Format2->Raw->Load it
So for Quality: All and Disable
For performance and low ram: Unsupported only and Unsupported only
For performance: Unsupported only and Disable
Correct me if I'm wrong
EDIT1:-------------
Played Horn 1.3.2.6
Works great.
Settings:
Decomp: Unsupp. only
Recomp: Decomp. only (Disabled gave me crashes)
Fake GPU with Tegra 3 profile
The game has no difference between T3 and T4. I sticked to Tegra 3 for compatibility.
1.3.2.7 version has Tegra 4 Support. Will check with that and see the graphical differencies.
EDIT2:----
Fixed some typos.
Also about having uncompressed textures it seems that because of the architecture of all gpus, this is not a good idea.
Currently optimized game uses uncompressed textures and that's to optimize vram buffers and performance.
So it seems that there's no need to uncompress them because the quality is already reduced.
Like mp3s. There's no need to make it wav. The bitrate is already lost.
So Decomp should really just be to unsupported only (without it you can't play DXT textures in let's say adreno gpu).
And recompress should be decompressed only, so it you can have optimized buffers.5Hi all:
heres the thread to the latest xda/free version of gltools (1.29) along with instructions and custom settings
http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630
since the op and the thread have disappeared
thank you @n0n3m4 for ur attention5Real Racing 3 on Nexus 7 FHD
I switched from different GPU ID, from Adreno to Tegra. I took some screenies for comparison.
Adreno mode (original)
Tegra 4 mode
Noticed that some of the textures like crowd, race flags and fences dissappeared in Tegra but it smoothed out the jaggies from Adreno, put some added reflections and depth blur.5
Your mediaserver crashes, when loading vorbis (.ogg) files. Specifically at native functions:
Code:#00 pc 000059dc /system/lib/libcutils.so (android_atomic_add) #01 pc 0001bfae /system/lib/libutils.so (_ZN7android7RefBase12weakref_type7incWeakEPKv) #02 pc 0001bff6 /system/lib/libutils.so (_ZNK7android7RefBase9incStrongEPKv) #03 pc 00008bea /system/bin/mediaserver #04 pc 00016cfc /system/lib/libc.so (__libc_init)
Dev will know probably what to do.
Yours is easier to understand. It crashes when loading icon.
The nativeHeap runs out of memory. Probably because you have loads (and I mean looooads) of apps, or you enabled system-wide texture decompression of all apps and recompression disabled.
So I think that this is fixed easily by putting android:largeHeap="true" in GLTools AndroidManifest.xml
I can make a modified xda version for you to try, but it will probably fail on license check.
Here's your logcat bit of info:
Code:Process: com.n0n3m4.gltools, PID: 15382 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeAsset(Native Method) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:677) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeResourceStream(BitmapFactory.java:507) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.createFromResourceStream(Drawable.java:872) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.content.res.Resources.loadDrawable(Resources.java:3022) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.content.res.Resources.getDrawable(Resources.java:1586) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.content.res.XResources.getDrawable(XResources.java:401) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.app.ApplicationPackageManager.getDrawable(ApplicationPackageManager.java:725) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at android.content.pm.PackageItemInfo.loadIcon(PackageItemInfo.java:161) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at com.n0n3m4.gltools.x.run(Unknown Source) 02-12 23:59:38.216 E/AndroidRuntime(15382): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:841) 02-12 23:59:38.216 W/ActivityManager( 4271): Force finishing activity com.n0n3m4.gltools/.PerAppPreferences
On another note, it's true that the best options for texture is Decomp: Unsupported only and Recomp: decompressed only.
I checked with Horn:
Recomp: decomp only: 411mb of ram
Recomp: disabled: 928mb of ram. (Faster loading though)
So yeah disabled gives me crashes, because some times it can reach more than 1.5GB ram usage.
And as I said before there's is no need to have decompression: All, because the extra quality is already lost and also the performance is way better with compressed textures. Don't forget gpu can load the compressed textures right away if they are supported.
Also having decomp: All, recomp: decomp only will increase your load times by a lot!
So I want to ask the dev, for tegra games on an adreno/powervr/mali gpu, if he can ask Saem Persunt to implement texture recompression,
by using Renderscript as an option. If the code is good this will use the gpu and the loading times will be waaaaaaay faster.3here is the instruction to right work this app:
- insert the plugins.rar (from chainfire3d) in the root memory of the smartphone
- install and download gltools from playstore
- open gltools and now you see that the texture hve a name of developer of the plugin
- click on install
- the device will reboot
- now select your game to mod with tegra driver
- now all works!
