This 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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631223
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.

Wow, you're welcome, but this is more than needed. As I recall, all I did was package some driver files in an update.zip with an "extract directory blah" line.
But hey, glad you benefited from that!!!
Edit: so I ran some tests with this driver.
1) It is **NOT** limited to S3/220, works just fine on my S2/205.
2) The advancements attributed to it are greatly exaggerated.
My results;
before, soft 2d
1337
2d 249
3d 936
before, hard 2d
1453
2d 672
3d 976
after, hard 2d
1485
2d 660
3d 990
second run after, hard 2d
1502
2d 833
3d 774
You will note that the big 2d jump happened with forcing 2d rendering. Even with the older driver.
The second run with the new drivers came out weird. Subsequent runs with the same driver looked a lot closer to the first run with the new drivers.
Yes, the new drivers perform better. Probably 5% or so overall is my guess.
And OP: Its not a "patch". Its a binary driver. A patch is a "differences" file for SOURCE code.

Fyi-
These binaries in this driver is specifically listed on Qcomm's website for ARM7.
The update you had is for ARM 6.
If you see improvement then great!

No need to apologise. I simply looked at the date comparing your libs with what I downloaded directly from the Qualcomm Website. Seeing that Qualcomm released the ARMv6 drivers later than the ARMv7 I assumed you created the zip for ARMv6. I now see the matching CRC. My bad.

The OVERALL Quadrant score is of no concern. Especially since this Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) update ONLY effects the GPU SCORES.
Your OVERALL score can and will be impacted by other processes running in the background. Your OVERALL score is a reflection of your 2D/3D, SD Card R/W, CPU, MEM I/O, etc... TOTAL performance scores.
Additionally if your MT4G ICS update already has these Drivers Ver. 213 you will seee no gain in 2D/3D benchmarking either, since you would only be overwriting existing files wiht the SAME files.
If you just posted your 2D/3D scores before and after then we would have the information necessary to help you determine if this worked for you or not.
Thank you,

I am not sure that ALL ICS Roms would have this as it was released by Qualcomm after some manufacturers released their ICS ROMS. Although it probably is in MOST cooked ROMS already.
You can always go into your SYSTEM/LIB and check which version you are running.
dhkr234 is correct. If you just flash it you will be OK. If you want to know if it helped you on the ROM you are running then document the 2D/3D scores before and after.

UPDATE, LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE (ALMOST) IMPOSSIBLE TO PORT ENTIRE ROM, LOOKING INTO BITS AND PIECES THAT CAN BE PULLED.
here's the leak, for those who want it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240772
My progress. My kernel won't boot. I changed the bootclasspath and added some things to the init.rc, but it won't work, rebooting BEFORE THE CAMERA CLICK. If i flash clemsyn 3.1 v18 on top, the camera clicks, but it still reboots.
No logcat.
Anyone have any ideas? obviously it's not just the kernel, but the rom. I deleted stuff from the rom to fit onto the transformer, and hopefully I didn't mess it up. But i'm good at cramming **** onto the G1 and generally know what to use.
My kernel is based on prime 1.6. This is a 3.1 rom. I edited the bootclasspath and changed default.prop according to the puccini boot.img. both extracted perfectly, and my new kernel packaged up all nice. It, however, does not boot.
Any ideas are welcome. There wasn't a bootloader update in 3.2 or something that would prevent booting a 3.1 rom? food for thought.
If anyone wants me to upload my work so far, let me know.
Thanks for your input,
jcarrz1
p.s. the only part I wasn't sure about was the mkbootimg options, based on what RaYmaN said in another thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121379 I followed his advice to omit cmdline option. I think that's the correct way, anyone else interpret differently?
Rayman's tools were the heart of this effort, thanks a bunch. Also to Roach2010 for a solid 3.1 base.

Isn't HTC using a Qualcomm soc? That could mean they are using a different instruction set which cause the reboot.
could be the reason why they got it booting on the flyer and we don't have success on tegra devices
Let's see if someone else with a tegra device is successful and gets it booting.
Edit: sometimes I should read more carefully. If your kernel doesn't boot there is something really strange going on. Can't you flash stock 3.1, replace the boot loader and try your port again?
missing some info about the images your using ..
you have build the kernel , oke but witch ramdisk did you used?
witch kernel did you used ?
kernel config file?
Is it a 3.1 or a 3.2 rom?

Yup. Although if you swap the surfaceflinger to a Tegra2 generic one, it *should* work.
I'm sure that the kernel will NEVER boot on our device, as it's for Qualcomm platform, not Tegra2. But the ROM itself worth playing around, mostly if we can get the nice Launcher with themes.

yes, you could swap the flinger, but you still have the problem of everything else,
the point of that was not that just this one binary, but the whole rom, that also means the launcher and everything use NEON.
Also the kernel not running is a given, that is hw specific. My point is the ROM itself will not run
Thanks everybody for your advice. I stupidly assumed that "oh look it's a 1280x800 honeycomb tablet" lets port the software.
However, my kernel question persists; what did I do wrong? is it right to use mkbootimg in the way I did?
Thanks everyone.
I know nothing about this, but I just wanted to say how cool this is and thanks. Please don't pull a meejay and run out on us after giving us a release date Hopefully this goes smoother than porting TouchWiz UX
Isn't there a sense port that's partially functional on galaxy s devices? If so, then this is entirely possible with hours of dev work done on it to me, the only issue I see is the NEON problem, if that gets a work around the problems are the same problems involved in any port to any device, this is the coolest idea I've seen for my tf, I'll be watching development closely

Might be worth trying the new hc update leak for the htc flyer. The hardware on the flyer isn't too much different other than processor so might be easier.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
Having a different processor can mean COMPLETELY different sets of features supported by the processor. A lot of HTC's additional software (Sense and such) runs hand in hand with processor features as well as specific hooks into the kernel and frameworks that will not work unless on hardware capable of supporting it (among other things). Hence, why 99.9% of all Sense ports have failed in the past.
This all sounds like a wicked idea to me! Keep up the good work dude, it would be great to see it boot!

Anyone no if i can install the HTC Clock on my Transformer?
Well, so far, we don't have a separate forum for Galaxy R (i9103) so I need to put in here...
OK, the kernel is ready. I have tested it using Quadrant benchmark, CF-Bench and continuous playing of asphalt6 & dungeon hunter 2 for hours. Smooth and without causing much heat
Below are the details of the kernel:
Features
=======
- For Samsung Galaxy R (i9103) only
- Based on Samsung open source, kernel version 2.6.36.3
- Added new frequencies: 1200 & 1300Mhz
- Setting of max 1300Mhz through SetCPU
- All stock frequencies are untouched: 216-1000Mhz
- Expose the voltage settings to be set through SetCPU
- Limit the boot up frequencies to be 216-1000 to avoid unstable boot up
- Simple IO Scheduler
- 2.6.36.4 patches
- Speed up framebuffer copy
- memory copy macros and functions fine tune
- Misc. kernel fixes
- Rooted (embedded su & Superuser.apk)
Download link

Q & A
=====
Q: How to flash the kernel
A: Just flash the .tar file using Odin3 PDA (the same as flashing most of Samsung's android phone). Easily search xda forum for Odin3 and how to use it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262272)
Q: Will it delete all my applications, settings or files?
A: No. (should be..) It is a kernel, not ROM, therefore, nothing would be deleted
Q: What version of ROM is supported?
A: Kernel version is 2.6.36.3, it is proved to work on 2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6 ROM
Q: I don't need overclock (OC), can you make a non-overclock kernel?
A: The kernel itself supports max. of 1300Mhz. It doesn't mean that you need to operate in such frequencies. You can freely set your frequencies using SetCPU (for example, you can set 216/216 when screen off, and 216/1000). In such case, no OC will occur
Q: Will I be rooted after flashing this kernel?
A: Yes. I have modified the kernel to make it embedded with su & Superuser.apk
Q: How stable is OC? Will the battery drain fast? Will the phone get hot?
A: For 1200Mhz, it is quite stable. For 1300Mhz, I have experienced 1 program FC. Apart from that, I am using 216-1300Mhz for daily use and it is quite stable. Tested with asphalt6 and dungeon hunter 2 for over an hour, no FC occurs. Also, the battery doesn't feel hot (it is the advantage of tegra2 CPU )
Q: How can I revert back to the stock kernel?
A: If you have flashed CWM, and you have backup before you flash this kernel, you can choose (advance restore) to restore only the boot.img. Alternative method is to download the rooted stock kernel here (flash through Odin3 PDA): http://www.mediafire.com/?guhb64qy3h6sang
*** I will keep updating this kernel to make it better and better ***
*** Finally, flash at your own risk ***
=====================================================================
From the Samsung Open Source web site, I have downloaded the kernel source for i9103 and made modifications to it. It is good that this phone is equipped with Tegra2 CPU such that overclocking will not cause much heat problem and I can successfully overclocked to 1.3GHz
Below are some screen shots and I will release the kernel later today as I am still testing the new kernel.
For the first version, I will add in rooting (su+superuser.apk), SIO Scheduler, 2.6.36.4 patches and some minor kernel fixes. Stay tuned
(Quadrant score is: 4275)

Well, for ICS, I have downloaded the source code (haven't compiled yet...). I think porting to ICS ROM will not be too easy ... as I lack all those hardware libraries and experiences. Let's wait ICS for Galaxy S2 and see how far we can reach...
This kernel is proved to work in 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. Should also be ok for 2.3.6
thats perfect then! I'm in 2.3.4 stock with rooted kernel, I think if you provide us a rooted kernel with optional OC that would be awesome , thanks!
Great news, thanks!
So great!!! Congratulations for your work ardatdat, could you confirm the ROM version? 2.3.4/2.3.5...
Wow,thats amazing man *-*
We are waiting impatiently your kernel
Thank you!!!

Try some Live wallpaper and Gallery widget slideshow, and you will notice lag, but I don't think that's related to CPU clock. Not to mention that color palette is scaled down to 65000 colors (just look at the Microbes Live Wallpaper).

There is a CWM version 4.0.0.2 that works with the phone. I just found (and flashed) today myself.
I found it at a Chinese forum and at a Spanish forum. Downloaded from both and had the same flashable tar (checked with diff), though different apks (which I didn't install anyway).
Try it from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q33VEDF0
I am terribly sorry but I can't find from which forum I originally got this link. It isn't mine work of course.
After flashing with ODIN (the same way you flashed the rooted kernel), to enter into recovery turn on the phone and while it is on the Galaxy R boot screen, press voulme up and home together. Do not press them before powering on because your phone won't turn on, instead it may block and you will have to remove the battery for some seconds.

We have proven that this driver Patch has doubled our GPU throughput for 2D and 3D rendering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631223
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.

Anyone tried it yet?
coindroid changelog yesterday for 1.5.0 states:
'Updated Adreno GPU binaries.'
so i'm thinking they may be already included.

I am not sure if coindroid added these binaries to his ROM. Ask him.
This is for all who have ICS without the binaries pre-baked and would like to add these for performance results.

This seems like the new GL version doesnt it? is it ES GL 2.0 2184622?
Ehi guys this new update worked flawlessly for me.
Before the upgrade I had 2697 (2D 490, 3D 2195) with quadrant, after the update 3608 (2D 495, 3D 2220).
As you can see the improvement is not so incredible in graphics, but CPU has increased from 3231 to 6549 that's incredible! Also MEM increased around 600 points.
I'm running ARHD 6.6.3 XE with Sebastian FM 1.4.1 kernel.
Anyone experienced the same?
Hi,
just tried this out on Leedroids V7.3
But not with quadrant, i used nenamark2.

This 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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631223
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.
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.

Just because he used a quadrant SS doesnt mean its useless. It does more than increase quadrant score.

Guys, as I posted in original thread, this DOES NOT WORK, WE WILL TRY TO FIX IT THOUGH.
Looks pretty legit to have.
Double my GPU output, whynot? =]
Quadrant is outdated but its still interesting to see who gets the higher scores out of your friends/family.

It should be working now. Seems that I missed one QC setting.
But it also might be some of the major settings that ran off when I was removing QC. Because things that you don't have in your phone, build.prop should ignore it. Try both. Remember to wipe dalvik and fix permission.

Alright guys, I assume there is a very good explanation for this since it worked on beta testers.
I will find a solution for this. But permission fixing seems the problem. The first time I flashed I was stuck too.
Installed fine on my Sensation running ViperS 1.6.2, but sadly I can't notice any difference. Maybe its because of the tweaks already included or something. What exactly does this mod change?

Some ROM already have certain tweaks installed in it. But its fine if it duplicates.
Try playing with some more hardcore games, and test the battery life. My script enforce on battery life too.
Thanks for using and give reviews or feedbacks if you find anything!
installed fine feels a little better i guess... btw why are there so many versions.. i installed v2.. now there's 2.2 ... if i install v2.2 it will just write the script again to my build.prop... it will not replace it... thats not ideal...

If 2 works for you, then use 2, 2 have a few lines that may crash on some devices so I removed them and created 2.2
Hello,
thanks for your great work.

It says that my cpu is snapdragon while my gpu is qualcomm
Which version should i use ?
Thanks again

If anyone is unsure, NON-Qualcomm will be fine, if you're qualcomm it will be a plus!
Use Qualcomm then. It will boost performance slightly better than nonQC.
