I'm having a lot of trouble getting hw acceleration for my u8120, the main problem is I don't know what to look for!
I've checked the opengl lib, checked the framework and about every single piece of the system to find the code that enables HW acceleration instead of Software acceleration but I can't find a thing.
I'm even "reading" sources now.
Now, the way I see thing, there are two methods to fix HW acceleration, either to look for the drivers needed (which is a real long shot) or find what piece of the system causing HW acceleration instead of SW like in GB (which is really stupid, nuts & possibly just a waste of time).
So, what I want is know how it was enabled on other devices like Leo & SII, and how to do that on my device.
Thanks in advance.

C'mon guys! Somebody lend me a hand here!
Hey
Have you tried editing the "build.prop"
System/build.prop
Add this at the botton (make sure you have a blank line underneath)
debug.sf.hw=1
Hope this helps

No luck.
You might not be aware that my device doesn't have a GPU.
There's a driver though, I don't remember who made it, but it emulates the existence of a GPU.
though I don't think that could help as it won't provide acceleration.
I've been doing a little digging on the HD2 fix & I think what the did was something within the opengl lib itself. Do you know anything about that?

No sorry... not really an expert on these kind of things lol
But from what I heard was the requirements for ics with full hw acceleration is 512mb ram and a gpu

just one other question.

these are libraries, right?
what do they do? and what's the sort of "API reference" for these libraries? not just these particular ones, but any other libraries like these.

I know that there is already a chainfire thread but i find it better if i made a guide with all the plugins(instead of just nvidia)
What you will need:
a computer
Chainfire 3d, his xda page for the app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
the plugins it supports
nvidia: http://www.mediafire.com/file/pme09ev45tvxuu6/libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
qualcomm: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yflfd6wwhule66x/libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.zip
powervr: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9jlvzcd2kaiw9ti/libGLEMU_POWERVR.zip
make sure that the plugins are on the ROOT of your sdcard
go into chainfire app you will have to install the initial chainfire driver and then your phone will reboot automatically
then go back into chainfire and press install plugin
it will search for the plugins, install all 3 of them
then whenever you want to change which plugin you are using go into the OPENGL settings and press use plugin
it will then allow you to choose one of the 3
thats it
remember if a game doesnt work on one of them doesnt mean it wont work on another one trust me
Games that for sure are not working:
backbreaker THD
i will update the list as you tell me your problems ^
enjoy

I never could find the plug ins

Very true. Since Nvidia wont release the drivers, we have to wait till an official ICS ROM to get it working smoothly. Then it can be ported and bloatware removed and optimized for us.
Ah, I miss my Vibrant and how great its ICS must taste.

Yeah I agree after playing with an old Captivate with ics and hw acceleration working I can defiantly say we don't have full functioning hw acceleration yet can't wait tho!
Pin it to Win it.
Hwacceleration is only half ass working through work around patches. Thus the Hal issues with video decoding and many ics apps like browser for instance. If o2x gets it I'm sure we can get it fully working.

The video recording doesn't work because the G2x doesn't have official/correct drivers for ICS, therefore things like video recording and actual hardware acceleration don't work. What we have is a work around that is almost as good as the actual hardware acceleration, but its not the real thing.

No worries. AFAIK you need a kernel with BLN support, either v.0.1.1-rc3 or v.0.2.0, then install the app.
Yes, the kernel must have BLN added to it, independent of the ROM.
For what its worth, I'm on VB final and BLN works beautifully, I'm using the paid app if it helps.

You need the app to enable it at all. There ARE some system files that get created with the app that control the state of the notifications though.
For now that's true, but nearly anything is possible if the hardware and kernel support it. If an app can enable that behavior, then it can theoretically be hard coded into a rom, am I right? But that's lot to ask for when a free download does the job. I mean, given the huge list of things the few devs we have are busy with, coding bln into their work is a waste of time.
Anyway... That was more than enough diverting from the topic.

Since SU660 porting isn't going anywhere, could this be a possibility for full hardware acceleration early next year with the 3.8 kernel sources?

If the P990 release ever fails to be released, then there might be some hope in this.
Also, with the introduction of Key Lime Pie coming up next year, the proprietary drivers from the ICS release will more than likely become broken. In this case, the open-source drivers may become EXTREMELY beneficial.
Great find

Yup guys you can change your system animations:thumbup: via this app u am not the developer I just support this app and would like to share this one with you guys
Description:
This app will make Theming your phone as easy as tapping on a button. The concept is easy:
You tap the MOD you want, and Framework Tool will apply it for you. Currently there are about 40 functions,such as animations, dialogs, backgrounds and other aspects of your phones or tablets system, but it is in beta state, and more will be added in the next hours, days, weeks, months. Now it is your turn! Take control of your phone and make it fit to your mood and style, use hot features as the possibility to use your own backgrounds (in the Settings application as an example) for the system (3.0+), with just a few taps, and no computer required! This application needs ROOT ACCESS and R/W on /system ! This App can now run on versions below 4.0, BUT all modifications are designed for Android 4.0, so they may not work as intended on versions below that!
Warning: Framework Tool does change framework files which may not be compatible on some ROMs or devices. Always make a backup before installing and use at your own risk.

Bad luck then try applying animations again or instead try a reboot I have always used it on a fresh flash so it was never the case for me
I advice you to use it on a new flash...
You can also set the speed for animations using Framework Tool, in case you they are to slow for you. On start screen open menu and then you will see.
Thanks for yor responses guys.
I don't mean the animation is slow, I mean it takes a lot of time (3 or 4 seconds) to start the animation. Once started, it goes smooth.
This happens only sometimes. I'm trying to figure if this issue is ROM related (pa 3.1). I'm going back to aokp and try again.
Thanks!!

Technically, android waits for the app you touched to draw the first image, then animates to it.
Another thing: You are on Android 4.2 right? Then the changes Framework Tool applies to the framework (in the aspect of app start animation) are "ignored".
The only impact on performance is if you change the "standard background", if it is very high-res, if will definatly have an impact on performance.
Sincerely,
Janis Elfert (dev of Framework Tool)
