[Driver] Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU ICS Flashable Update {UnSigned}
- Thread starter gjcamp
- Start date
On Darkforest Sense 4 Beta 5.1 the system seems more responsive and animations are smoother. Further to that I'm getting a huge boost in nenamark 2 scores to around 47.5fps, thats more than the GS2 at its native resolution, when scaled.
I always knew this device had hidden potential

Wtf? Never used CWM or 4Ext?
From recovery you give the Fix Permissions command...

Ok I'll add it to next version, I was waiting for user results on this before deciding on what to do

black lines and stuff ! thats the same with these drivers now !!!

I don't know, they aren't the newest for sure.
Ive been able to get 54.5 fps on NenaMark with previous OrDroid versions which had GL version; [OpenGL ES 2.0 2184622]
This "update" contains [OpenGL ES 2.0 2131267] which is obviously older, OrDroid_New_GL.zip has the 218 version.
This is what i had with OrDroid newer GL version few weeks back;
and thats on 1512MHz, tho instagram does not work with [OpenGL ES 2.0 2184622], but i dont care. (it kinda works, but not able to add effects to pictures)
CoinDroid has it confirmed that it uses this update from main post.
btw; you can check your GL version with "OpenGLES Extensions Viewer" from store

Tried with insert coin 5.4.0, bricked kernel 1.1, 266mhz 2d and 320mhz 3d, 1620 Mhz CPU Clock.
Good Improvement! 1000 Points 2D (c.a 500 before patch), Total score 3900. I noticed a bit smoother ui navigation, will report other impressions in a few days.
In the quadrant graphics test never seen lags! FPS never under 30.
Good Update for Sense 3.6, for Sense 4 I don't know!

Please do! I am hugely impressed with your ROM!

Can "new GL" be used with 3.6 too?
Dont like Sense 4. Still ****ing laaggy in my opinion

+1, It seems that we have to wait a sensation version to have the same smoothness

This can be run any on ICS ARM7 devices which is not sense specific.

i don't dare to say, but you could try if you make nandroid ;I havent touched a sense 3.6 rom in a while.
you can find the zip here, what i can tell from my own experience is that things like Flash are really improved by the new gl, its just strange that we have so many different versions now.
the new gl from OrDroid(now CoinDroid) came from the One S rom i think, later got removed due to instagram problems, i always flashed it back tho.

He's talking about OrDroid's(CoinDroid's) new GL version which is even newer. See version numbers.
And that i don't know, since it came from Sense 4.0 rom. You have to test it yourself.

So CM9/OpenSensation/AOKP as well?
Here are some benchmark results from my phone.
Just a question out of my curiosity, is this a one time update or do we need to re-flash every time I am changing/updating ROM?

42This Adreno GPU update is ONLY designed to work on Qualcomm S3 ARM7 Devices running ICS.
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.
Qualcomm Developers Website
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.

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!3no offense, but most of of your results don't say anything since Quadrant is really bull**** let me explain why.
-Quadrant is hackable by multiple applications which let u cheat with it.
-One X gets lower 3D/2D then Sensation, which shows how bad the application is cause that is just not possible.
-Quadrant does more mem/cpu/i-o testing then GL so its useless to test those gl drivers with quadrant.
-Quadrant's points change by every benchmark, if you test with NenaMark2 you will get much more reliable results.
And i want to warn all of you,
Most rom's include the OpenGLES 2.0 2184622 instead of the GL files from this thread, so with the drivers from this thread u will actually remove the newer OpenGL files which came from One S series.
be sure to check your gl version with opengles extension viewer.2Tried this out with Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 and Fauxs 6b4.
Using Antutu, my original score was around 6200. After flashing, it was around 4500. I noticed my RAM took a drop from ~1350 down to ~600.
No difference in 2D and 3D for me.
Seeing others' results though makes me think it's something with VI...idk.
