[Adreno 430][Vulkan] Vulkan API for Adreno 430 (Android Nougat)

[GreyLeshy]

Graphics Driver API Vulkan for Adreno 430​

People, I ported the driver Vulkan API of Nexus 6P. Vulkan API works, played to test the game VG: Vulkan Beta.

The driver will work on all smartphones with Snapdragon 810.

Vulkan driver is installed via TWRP Recovery.

Last Updated:
2017-03-22. Driver update to ver.26.24.512 api 1.0.20 (N2G47H/OPP1.170223.012).
2017-02-13. Removed the driver, leading to artifacts (post).
2017-02-06. The first version of the driver 41.436.2416 (N4F26J).

great work!!!! @samavar89

should I simply flash it?

and what are the disadvantages? should I flash all three files!?!

 

[GreyLeshy]

Hi @freaky2xd
The driver is installed via TWRP Recovery and nothing more needs to be done.
If you want to install only the driver Vulkan, select vulkan.msm8994.
If you want to install only the driver Vulkan and update the OpenGL ES driver, select opengles.vulkan.msm8994

great!!!! it is posible to flash through flashtools ond locked bootloaders???

 

[GreyLeshy]

@felipeacydc, for firmware need unlocked bootloader and TWRP Recovery. With the help of flashtool can't install the driver.

 

[felipeacydc]

can you upload a video testing vulkan games running on Z5, like HIT or VAINGROLY?? to check if the driver works

For people that have no idea what vulkan is, can you explain in OP why should they flash this and what is the point of this

If You want to know what is the Vulkan API, look for information on the world wide web.

Which driver You installed vulkan.msm8994 or opengles.vulkan.msm8994 ?
When you install vulkan.msm8994, artifacts should not be!

Hi! What firmware you have installed? I checked the driver only on stock firmware 32.3.A.0.372.

@shehabskull, it is possible that your firmware is lacking some files...
For starters, you can flash opengles.msm8994_xperia_z5_stok.32.3.A.0.372_adreno430_full, then vulkan.msm8994.

but I am a dual user

What do You mean?

Ok so I got every files where you said they woud be. There's only one thing which concerns me: when I flashed the file in twrp, it said:

Warning: No file_context

And I'm not sure whether or not my graphics have been enhanced.
