Here's a fun new way I just whipped up for stock ROM users to play around with these and still keep OTAs in working order. ;)

Basically it's a frontend, so put the latest Adreno-Nexus*.zip package from Qualcomm in the same directory as my zip, then flash my zip instead. It'll do the rest, including resizing systemless SuperSU's su.img so that it can hold the updated drivers, and pushing the su.d script to bind mount all the new drivers on-the-fly during boot. :cowboy:

To disable temporarily you can change /su/su.d/000adrenomount from chmod 755 to 644 and reboot; to uninstall simply delete /su/vendor and /su/su.d/000adrenomount and reboot. You can either do this while booted, or from recovery if you use my SUmount script, linked below.

UPDATE-Adreno.Systemless.Installer-signed.zip:

P.S. If you found this handy then please check out my Odds and Ends thread for more flashable goodness. :D

Will these drivers affect screen rotation? I know my gyroscope is working fine, because I use the app Check MY Android and it shows the sensors working, but it won't rotate on many different roms. I'm hoping maybe an updated driver might help.

It shouldn't affect that. For reference though, I've had rotation issues on even stock ROM after significant uptime; it's like it just gets locked and the toggle doesn't do anything anymore. A reboot returns it to behaving as expected.

Could somebody upload the latest update, please? Thanks
You could easily download them yourself from Qualcomm by signing up. But since I already have an account there, here's a mirror:

IT's off topic, but I used this to fix it. It now works 8 times out of 10.

I asked about the drivers because I'll still see the orientation sensors operating but it won't rotate. Thanks for the reply!

Will your zip work on CM13 nightlies?
Or do the nightlies already have the latest drivers?
I'm showing OpenGL ES 3.0 [email protected]@ ([email protected])
From the Nexus 6 thread:
A page or two ago it was suggested to use Antutu app to see what version of the Adreno driver you are using. In Antutu under Display for GPU version, this latest one should read:

"OpenGL ES
3.2 [email protected]
([email protected])"

May's was also 3.2 [email protected] but the GIT was different. Most ROMS I have seen come with OpenGL ES 3.1 [email protected]
