g1 with open gl 2 (es) ? - G1 Android Development

hi!
is it possible to install open gl 2 on g1 devices?
i have found only this .jar ?
http://code.google.com/p/gl2-android/downloads/list

It would be revolutionary if it becomes possible.....we would be able to play so many games smoothly which we cant play now...
and would be able to use SPB shell 5.0 on G1....
and what not.....

I think I read somewhere that the hardware on the G1 does not support Open GL 2 but hey, who knows, *they* said we couldn't get honeycomb on our devices and look what happened I hope progress can be made with this..
EDIT: wow, support is old...

OpenGL 2 ES adds shaders. I don't think the Qualcomm chip in our G1's can do that. For those who don't understand, think pixel shaders in Direct X. I doubt that the MSM7201A was that advanced.
I'm happy roms now come with OpenGL 1.1.

Hi.
Hmm..okay! i need this for a game.
Does anyone know the Dungeon Defender App? Sure
one could perhaps avoid the OpenGL2 thing? Would like to test the game ...
But it does not start because there is no OpenGL2 (error) :/
Would run the game on the new LG p990 (optimus speed) ? is this good devices?

heh you could change your build.prop to fool the game into thinking you have open GL2 although i don't know if it would work. Theoretically, it would, as you could change your opengl version from 1.0 to 1.1.

How can you upgrade from opengl 1.0 to opengl 1.1?
Do I need to copy any library files and change any conf files?

good point..
But assuming the game does not require shaders, Find some other build in the tegra section (or at least I think xda has the section) or some device that supports open gl 2.0, download the rom, then open the zip file and then navigate to /system/build.prop, then search for a line that contains the words 'gles' and then has some numbers after it. Copy/remember the number. Then copy the number you just found to the build.prop of the rom you are using now via astro file manager or something and find the same line with the words 'gles' and then delete the old number and replace the new number with it.

That's an awful lot of trouble to go thru. Currently the default value in most of our builds is 65536. In hex that's 0x10000. If you want to set it to GLES 1.1, change it to (0x10001) 65537. If you want to set it to 2.0 change it to (0x20000) 131072.

Ok I'll try both suggestions. Thanks!
But is it just it? Don't I also need to copy any library files? Upgrade the ones I already have to their newer versions (1.1 or 2.0) besides the change in build.prop?

Of course you also need the 1.1 libraries.

Well I updated the build.prop as proposed and also copied the updated libGLES_qcom.so file to /system/lib/egl overwriting the old one.
Is that all? Are there any other files that need updating? The device booted up fine, however it still shows version OpenGL ES - CM 1.0 in logcat.

There are some roms that come with OpenGL 1.1, if you don't mind flashing and wiping your phone.

AJZ Hero Speedup Script

if you want a certain script added, chances are some1 else does too. if you have an idea, or find a script you want added, please either post or PM me. i take a look at this thread alot throughout the day, so i will be able to see your ideas quickly. YOUR IDEAS ARE IMPORTANT
first of all, i did not write this script, i took it from the thread HTC Hero Speedup v2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521421), which was put together by tehseano, who i must thank, however, it seems to only work for Haykuro's Hero ROM
THIS SCRIPT is made to speedup the HTC HERO rom on the g1's. my speedup script is made to work under JACman's. if tried on someone elses, you could brick your phone (although i doubt it), and i will not take responcibility for bricks
trying to use it under JACman 1.72, i couldn't get tehseano's script to work, so im going through a bunch of tweaking and editing for it to work under JACman roms (im guessing twistedumbrella's too).
currently, i'm about to release version 0.2. - released
i have fixed most of the directories and codes except for Battery fix, i have gotten the HTC camera to work, read the readme file
out of curiosity, does any1 have any preference on where i upload the files? want someplace easy and fast, so no rapidshare or anything like that. first working suggestion gets it
please do not use option #8 once it is up, it is not done yet
everything else should be good. this is made STRICTLY for JACman roms, not haykuro's, but twistedumbrella's should work, since it is based off of JACmans
____________________________________________________________________________________________
version 0.2 - http://www.4shared.com/file/113524687/c98398cd/AJZ_HeroSpeed_02.html
very minor changes
fixed the scripts
working on a battery fix
version 1.0 will be more compatible with JAChero 1.8, i expect to release that in the next few day, but this might not be possible because i'm going on vacation
_____________________________________________________________________
I ACCIDENTLY UPLOADED THE BAT AS A TXT FILE. im not gunna change it, so until the next release, just rename the file as a bat
0.1.5: http://www.4shared.com/file/113343120/6c89dd65/AJZ_HeroSpeed_015.html
i must thank dpgc213 for creating the original lockscreen change bat file
Changes:
deleted option to delete pc sync, causes bootloops and doesnt exist
added possibility to change the screen lock image (although doesnt have to do with speed)
added quick directions for changing the lock screen image
____________________________________________________________________________________________
version 0.1 - http://rapidshare.com/files/247165073/hero_speedup_2.0_AJZ_0.1.zip

in version 0.2, expect to see support for the deletion of htc sync, and support for changing your lock screen
can you please include instructions for mac users? thanks good work
did you get it to work with JACman 1.72, you said you would try to tweak it, but did not say if you were successful?
I dont know how to apply the script cuz its made for windows, If some1 put instructions plz?

When I ran option 3, 6 and 5 in that order without a reboot and then reboot after I did all those I got a bootloop, when I did #5 it was saying success on each one. If I installed dextop-wrapper awhile back like weeks ago do I have to install it again because I didn't install it. I figured I still had it.

Yes.
That's what I'm using ti with. And it's made Rosie completely usable for the first time for me.
Has anyone had the experience where Rosie was really fast when first optimizing using whatever procedure but then lags down over time? That was what I experienced when using a different optimizer. Hopefully this one is consistent.

FpseCE Problem: it doesn't work :(

Hi all,
that's my problem: FpseCE doesn't work
after installed the last version (0.10) i tried to run 3 games, but everytime the program crashes when
i select a game.
Also, i read that the first time you run the program, a popup appears for letting you to setup the joypad,
but i did not happen to me.
What's Wrong?
ps: i put also the ini file "scph1001" in the Bios folder, but nothing is changed
pss: i've an image of a game with 2 files: ".bin" and ".cue". What can i do to corvert it?
free version or supported one?
free one! is it a problem? '
concerning the bios file, you have to set it also in the fpse.ini
concerning the iso, that's ok, you can compress it via pocketIso
concerning the free version, you won't be able to do many things with this version whereas the supported is great...
but I can't tel you if the pb comes from the version...
-fpse.ini file is correct
-i compressed the iso with pocktiso (tanks)
but i nothing work Incredible!
have you got a different version?
I have the supported version but before with the free one, I did not have crashs...
did you install the 3d graphic patch? what is the value of GFXDRV in fpse.ini?
what patch? O___O'
gfxdrv=4
ok that's the reason....
install this:

Installing Chainfires drivers isn't necessary in order for Fpsece to work. Try just starting Fpsece without selecting a Rom (just hit cancel, when the rom selection comes up), so you can rule out a problem with Fpsece itself. If it boots up fine, I suspect you have a problem with your Rom's and try some others.
Which games are you trying to play anyway?
i started FpseCE, hit cancel.
If i try to lock the Phone, the screen goes off but when touch the screen the light turn on. i Need to reset the Phone for fixing the problem.
I've the latest official Rom Version, with some reg tweaks. Could they give problems? '
if u want fpsece to work properly on HD2 u have to donate and get the supported version, after u install it there is a pack especially for HD2 on their forum, u have to download it and replace the files with the downloaded ones...
thats it, fpsece runs perfect....

I think the patch is mandatory if you want to set GFXDRV = 4 in the ini file...
mmm ok.
i'm going to make a donation. hope it could solve my problem!

That's not true at all, as I run with GFXDRV set at 4. I'm not saying Chainfire's driver is useless it may improve performance but it's not required to get Fpsece working. Neither is the supported version required in order for Fpsece to work, however I would defo recommend donating to get it, as the free version is really just a demonstration of what Fpsece could do and the performance of the free version is rubbish .
There is clearly something else going on with pierluigi.rovere's phone.
We could do with knowing what else you have on your phone, any mods/tweaks.
pierluigi.rovere, as suggested before post the settings of your fpsece.ini. I would also suggest posting your problems on the Fpsece forums, as they will have more experience in helping you resolve this issue.
Update: Actually did some checking, you can't use [email protected] in the free version , so if you have that set change it to 2 and see if that helps.

[Q] How to edit files via terminal?

I'm trying to edit text in a specific file and save the changes.
I've found info on how to flash, push, pull, yadda yadda via terminal. But how do I simply change some text?
This is specifically what I'm trying to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22367371&postcount=25
FYI I'm on 2.3.6 Vahalla black Edition Final
I'm not sure about terminal but couldn't you do this with Rootexplorer? Just go to /system/etc/init.d/ then mount as rw and long click the file 00remount and there's an option for open in text editor then add the line?
Lol I'm sure there's an easier way but this might be an alternative
Thank's aren't asked for but aappreciated
You can do the adb pull from the phone to your PC. If you're on Windows, use WordPad (not Notepad due to the CR+LF needs) then adb push it back. Keep in mind you have to have /system mounted and read/write to do that.
If you're on a Linux box, using Vi, Pico, Emacs, etc should suffice. The adb commands are the same either way.
Did I help or make it even more confusing?
Thanks guys.
I didn't know I could edit files with File Manager (RootExplorer same thing right). That was easy.
But now I'm left with more questions.
After getting to VBE Final everything ran smooth, quad score around 1850. Now after flashing the A.S. v14 the phone seems the same and now has quad of 1200. I know quads don't really mean much but this is weird.
Did you flash AS14 for Valhalla black or the universal one?

You can use vi directly on your phone since it comes preinstalled as a CLI program. It sounds like you prefer the gui approach though.
Also, did you update to the new quadrant? Its scores are different than the older versions.

It's not a simple apk as the previous poster thought. There are 2 or 3 /system/lib files that go with it. After you copy the .so files into system/lib, make sure you set the permissions the same as the other lib files in that folder.
The reason you got the FC, is because of the missing lib files. Check my post earlier, as the link to it contains all files. After you get it running, make sure you set your security settings to "install non market apps". Polaris doesn't user android market, and in a few days it will want to update you to the newer version when you open the program.

I copied the 3 .so files contained in your post. I also removed the Polaris version I had already installed and then installed the version contained in your zip.
I made sure to set the permissions as the other files in the Lin directory, but when I run Polaris I still get the force close after the splsplashash screen.
Is there anything else I'm missing? Could it be that this version of Polaris is not the correct one to run on the smartphone (somewhere in the apk name it's saying is a tablet)?
Thanks

Aha... and that is probably the issue. As far as I know, Polaris only came with Tablets. At one time a long time ago, they used to be on the Play Store (old Market) They went private about 3 years ago, and as far as I know, they ship exclusively to Tablets only. First it was Asus, but now a lot of tablets.
Nope, Polaris is also working on smartphones, as it comes embedded in the stock Galaxy S2/S3/S4 phones.
In fact I just wanted to replace it on my S2 because I installed a custom ROM but that Polaris app was quite useful.
I found a link in another thread on XDA, that has the Polaris 5 apk. I installed it and it works like a charm, no need to edit/install any other file.
That's the link:

[APP] µSuper - Minimalistic superuser implementation

Inspired by SimpleSU (I really love it), which is not so simple to use after all (mainly because it is intended for shipping in the ramdisk or the likes), and closed source, I made my own superuser implementation, µSuper.
I provide it to you, mainly so you can give me some feed back or just try it, whatever you prefer.
Just like SimpleSU it uses a text file.
Unlike SimpleSU this text file contains the UIDs of the apps, not their package names (which makes µSU less vulnerable to frauds). It is also not on the hard to access /system partition, but in the private data directory of µSU, and globally set to read-only.
With only 309 SLOC (app and binary combined) I think it is safe to say that it is really tiny.

@MarcoToo I know this has been here for ages but I'm amazed this thread has less than 600 views and You've only got 3 thanks... It's my favourite SuperUser app as it uses next to no resources. The only thing wrong is that it won't work with anything above JellyBean 4.2.2 which is a shame; I don't supposed you plan to support further Android versions? or is it easy for me to build this to support further versions?
Thanks anyway, all the people not using this are missing out

theres a reason to it, because the developer hasn't kept the app updated, while supersu is updated almost weekly. The lastest SuperSU has way more support as to this because it is outdated, and in beta at that. Safer and more compatible alternative would be SuperSU

I see your point but I still stick with this SU: SuperSU is closed source, and even Koush' open source Superuser app is theoretically less secure than this, due to the whole granting mechanism; with µSuper the user must explicitly select which apps gain su access whether they ask for it or not, and the code is so small there's little which could go wrong. Each to their own, though , I use this because the Desire Z is lacking in memory and CPU power so every little helps, but on a more powerful device it wouldn't bother me.

I think the location for app files has changed from /data/data to something else. Since µSuper's su binary uses a hardcoded path to the permissions file (using an environment variable would be quite unsafe), the only things you would have to change are the targetSdkVersion in the app's AndroidManifest.xml and (if it did change) the path to the permissions file in su.c.

Forked and synced let's see if I can fix this for later versions I don't suppose you'd know how to implement this into a ROM (using source code)? From the README I assume I'm allowed to
