[Trick] GTA3 full effects enabler on not Tegra :) + Optimized cache for ARMv6 devices

For not duplicating the thread, see the post I posted on Sensation category
armv7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399258
added special set for SGSII
screens and patch are there
__________
For those who on armv6 devices, here's fully optimized and reworked cache: http://www.mediafire.com/?992ou6xbx6t49r8
- gives slightly better performance on budget devices

thnx to DjDiversant & QRmegweg

update in first post

Works great! Thanks for this but there's no sound? Is that what we have to sacrifice for insane performance.

These effects are already enabled for the Samsung Galaxy 10.1? I already have rain / lights / etc. OH DUH, for NON Tegra. My mistake.

You mean on armv6? Looks like it
sorry it's not tested by me, as i'm on armv7
but i believe they are just removed from sd card

Yeah, I'm on armv6 and I tried with and without audio folder. Audio slows it down way too much.
Works perfectly without though.

this work for RAZR? or would there need to be a specific patch for the RAZR's PowerVR gpu?

Cant wait to try out GTA in mobile

Not that I would normally talk about IOS users, but I found a sire that explans how one may HEX EDIT their GTA3.set file to get slightly better performance. By using Chainfire 3D, the H.E. method and the XDA Data package for GTA 3 I was able to get nearly 95% lag-free play on my 800 MHz Samsung Admire by MetroPCS. For those interested,
0x568 - Draw Distance
(CC CC) 5C
(CD CC) 4C = Minimum
(CC CC) A4 = Apple A4 Devices-only
0x67c - Lighting
02 = On, 00 = Off
0x676 - Resolution
80 = Hi-Res, 19= Low-Res
0x678 - Shadows
01 = On, 00 = Off

Thanks for the post. I have tried data files from many different sites but the one you pointed is by far the best one for my galaxy fit.

With enabler, is it possible for gta to be played at single core, adreno 205 devices? Such as desire HD

Woot works perfectly on my phone, thnx for the trick!

SD card

I recently bought a 16gb SD card and its only showing 14 gigs. I know when you buy an sd card you won't get all of the space, but I've never bought one with 2 gigs missing. I was wondering if there was any way to get the full capacity?

If your phone is reporting 14.8 gb, then you have your "16gb" because that is about 16 billion bytes.

I don't follow, it says total capacity for the SD card is 14.8 gb. Shouldn't it be 16 or at least high 15's?

Take it easy, man !
1024KB = 1MB, and 1024MB = 1Gb.
Thinking again, 16Gb = 1024MB x 16 = 16384MB, but it's very odd, and the manufacturer don't want odd, so the manufacturer decided like this: 1000MB = 1Gb ( 16Gb = 16000MB ) and thus will lead to a lack of numbers ( when the true is "16gb = 16384MB" )
If your phone is reporting 14.8GB, just because your phone ( and every smartphone, HDD, USB, etc. ) memory is calculated by the Manufacturer ( Kingston, SeaGate, etc. ), and by Byte units. Don't worry man.

standards were set back in the day (when the loss was negligible). When working with kilobyte size hard drives. for instance, a 5 KB drive back then was actually just 5000 bytes. which, in reality is 4.88 KB (only a loss of 122 bytes, no biggie, right?)
in today's standard, its still measured the same way. a gigabyte is measured as 1,000,000,000 bytes (equaling 0.93 GB). literally, a gigabyte drive SHOULD be 1,073,741,824 bytes.
So, lets look at you 16 GB sd card... by industry standards, its actually 16,000,000,000 bytes. which is 15,625,000 KB, which is 15,258.79 MB, which is 14.9 GB (take 16,000,000,000, divide by 1024, divide that by 1024, and divide that by 1024).
Long story short, literal KB is 1024 bytes and they're being meausred as 1000 bytes. you're losing 24 bytes for every kilobyte

Samsung releases Galaxy S4 Kernel source – GT-I9500, GT-I9505 & SGH-I337M

AOSP at the very least...

AWESOME!!!

I will be updating in this thread shortly about proper information about the last unknown things concerning the phones...
Edit: How big is this thing?!
Edit: 372mB, they included various new things in their platform sources, seems they released the source for the Samsung Browser which seems to be the bulk of the increased size.
The 5410 now has proper independent power-gating in its CPUIdle driver.
The CPUFreq driver is populated from 200MHz up until 1300MHz for the A7 cores and 2000MHz for the A15 cores in 100MHz steps.
The shipping CPU already is in its second revision REV_2_0.
The shipping frequencies are 500MHz to 1200MHz for the A7 cores, 800MHz to 1600MHz for the A15 cores.
EDIT: When the IKS is active, which means at all times, then the CPU is set up to run in "turbo"-like configurations, if 1 A15 is active, max frequency is 1800, 2 are active, it is 1700, if all >2 big CPUs are on, 1600MHz is the maximum frequency. I'm still reading through the max index they setup there so I can't confirm this behaviour yet, but it's there in the code.
EDIT: The above logic seems to be disabled any only valid once the CPU was actually set to 1800MHz as maximum, there is no turbo at max of 1600MHz. This probably explains the previous benchmarks and so on of it showing 1800, but never reaching those frequencies.
Hotplugging seems to be DEAD! Finally!
The GPU _is_ running at 532MHz. There is a define for to ommit the last frequency step in the driver and limit it to 480MHz, however, in the released source this is not used and the frequency is 532MHz.
Code:
#define DOWN_STEP_OLD 1100000
#define DOWN_STEP_NEW 600000
#define UP_STEP_OLD 550000
#define UP_STEP_NEW 600000
#define STEP_LEVEL_CA7_MAX 600000
#define STEP_LEVEL_CA15_MIN 800000
if (freqs[cur]->old <= UP_STEP_OLD && target_freq > UP_STEP_NEW)
target_freq = STEP_LEVEL_CA7_MAX;
if (freqs[cur]->old >= DOWN_STEP_OLD && target_freq < DOWN_STEP_NEW) {
if (strcmp(policy->governor->name, "ondemand") == 0)
target_freq = STEP_LEVEL_CA15_MIN;
else
target_freq = STEP_LEVEL_CA7_MAX;
}
if (cur == CA15 && target_freq < freq_min[CA15]) {
do_switch = 1; /* Switch to Little */
} else if (cur == CA7 && user_set_eagle_count > get_num_CA15()
&& target_freq > freq_max[CA7]) {
do_switch = 1; /* Switch from LITTLE to big */
if (count > 0 && count < 4 &&
target_freq > exynos_info[cur]->max_op_freqs[count + 1])
later = true;
}
This is basically the switching logic. The A7 cores are mapped to the A15 frequency at half speed, the frequency table as such means it's 1:1 A15 clocks up until 1200MHz.
There are two conditions to switching from A15's to A7's:
An A15 core will need to be above 1100MHz (real) for the previous sampling period, and the new (current target) virtual frequency to be below 600MHz (1200MHz A7) to trigger an override of the CPUFreq logic and initiate a jump from A15 to A7's, however it doesn't directly switch: Ondemand is the default governor, so what it seems to be doing is to have a stop-over at the minimum A15 frequency / 800MHz for a frequency period and let the next sample decide what to do.
An A7 core will need to be at 550 virtual (1100MHz A7) for its previous sampling period, and over 600 virtual (1200MHz A7) to switch to an A15 core, however again, this is not the actual switching, it's sitting again for another sample at 1200MHz real frequency before it lets the next sample decide.
The actual switching is simple: if frequency reaches 800MHz, we go to A7's, if it goes to 650 (1300 == freq_max[CA7]) it goes to A15.
The whole thing is a bit shenanigans in logic, but I suppose they do it so that the cores don't do too much fine-grained switching and the above logic flattens out the frequency jumps.
EDIT: There's plenty of evidence of a global LTE enabled 5410 device, the kernel even has the usual modem drivers for it and GPIO board definitions.
I think most of the more interesting stuff is already cleared up now.

Does this mean that i9500 owners will be able to clock up to 1.8 to keep up with those fancy Koreans?

LOL i tried to download the 9500 source but the download speed ridiculously slow ( 20KB - 50KB ) WTF my download speed normally about 1.4MB
they seems only have 1MB LINE for the server :silly::silly::silly:
edit : Andrei how the voltage table, is it much lower than Exynos 4412 ( 32NM vs 28NM ) ? what 1.6GHz voltage ?
and can u check what the DAC model ? is it Wolfson 5102?

They're populated, but only with a dummy 1300mV max value.
I got both sources at 900kB/s so I guess I got lucky before everybody and their grandma started downloading them for kicks.

Lets go!!!!!

So is this better than with the S3 because everyone was complaining about missing kernels and incomplete source.
samsung seems to have stepped up. the 9500 should be OC'd in short order.
What about the freqcheck, how often is it sampling to change the frequency?

If this is good....yup.
I never have a Galaxy, so i dont know...lol

Did Samsung finally release proper sources with documentation?!?!?!?!
If so, I really hope they will do the same with the Note II and S3 quickly!!!!!!

I think you should read more into the whole sources and documentation story, you obviously don't get it.
Long story short, these are kernel sources and not the sources the CM team needs.

... so? The whole Linux kernel might have a word or two with you on the matter http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?i=strcmp

I did not download the source, but it clearly says "kernel"source. Isn't the issue that the drivers in the SGIII were not open sourced, yes, the Exynos non-support was an issue, but is there enough in this source release?

minfree settings for gaming on gnex

hi
are there some preferred minfree values for gaming on gnex?
My idea is that i can open a game that requires a lot of ram,so i'd like know some values for the minfree.
Actually on my gnex i have the mpokang v.10 with, on boot,about 349 ram free.

Yep. Come to find out what 1920x1080 will record infinite but will cut into 4gb incriments. The 4k one is interesting as it has a 5 min limit but i think if i get rid of that it may record forever

i had read somewhere in dpreview forums that the reason they limit recording video on phones and cameras is so that they don't get classified as camcorders and avoid having to pay some kinda fee/tax or whatever. i never followed up on that info. you know if there's any truth in it?

you can get a wifi external hd. they're expensive compared to standard though. i've got a seagate wireless plus and build quality has been pretty crappy. getting my third replacement soon.

Unless newer versions of Android use an alternate file system, all of them will have a 4GB file limit because of FAT32. So your recording time will be limited only by your video recording quality. Recording at 4K resolution would eat up a 4GB file pretty quickly versus at 720p. As I said in the first reply, some may have a software limit on how long you can record any quality regardless of how much space you have. If you want unlimited recording time, you need to use a digital video camera instead of a photo camera or a cell phone.

I have since made unlimited a reality using the note 5 camera. It will now record unlimited. It works on the note 4, note 5, s6 and s6 edge. Someone told me it worked on the note 3 also but not verified
