[ROOT] GLTools v1.05 (chainfire-3D) hight quality games

gltools it is like chainfire-3d and newer with new gpus .. with new option fake gpu ..
tested on : realboxing with adreno 332
asphalt-8 with mali, adreno ,tegra3 .......
nfs mw with tegra3 ..
Features list:
- Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default.
- Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU.
- Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you'll install a plugin (internet is required to do that)
- Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
- Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
- Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you are a pro)
GLTools is 100% safe if you have a custom recovery installed (and you didn't disable backup in GLTools install dialog).

I tryed it before this thread being made but didn't find any differences.Maybe i dont configure it properly
If someone try it and get a better gameplay please give us the properly setting to try it one more time.And the good fact is that gltools can use chainfire plugins

I didn't really got better gameplay, as Asphalt 8 on max settings was already running for me at 30FPS.
But I do got to play Tegra exclusive games.
If you fake your gpu to Tegra 3, you can play Tegra 3 games too. Not really smooth(20-25fps) but it works. Haven't tested Tegra 4.

for asphalt8 try adreno 320 .. and make sure in game that graphique setting in hight ... try albs map .. u will see biiiiiggggg difffff good luck ...

Hey, how about sharing your findings/ tweaks/ tricks back on the main thread? I think that’s what the OP wanted (feedbacks) and its far more easier to read in a single thread instead of looking here and there.. just my 2 cents..

Excuse me a question

Yes, this app requires root acces

i enabled aa and some stuff none of them worked, it just didnt open
BTW how can i fake my GPU as tegra 4? for RGP2

hi . my device is xperia ray android 4.2.2 paranoid i want to play game with performance and smooth and lagless . what setting you suggest me ? for example i want play injustice gods among us in my device ( i use full and latest version of gtool)

Im on android 4.2.2
When I use fake cpu and gpu option on a game...The game opens then closes immediately..
Why? THANKS

Hi. I'm having a problem with my GLTools. I installed it and granted it SU permissions, enabled custom settings, optimised GPS settings, etc for Nvidia Shield exclusive games: "Portal" and "Half-Life 2" which runs on the Tegra 4 template, however the app crashes after the Valve logo, as it would without the GLTools app. I have installed the apk and downloaded all the correct data for the apps. How can I get this app to start working correctly with my Tegra apps so they can run on my phone without crashing before they start? I contacted the developer. He was no help. I have an LG Optimus G running on Android 4.1.2. Thanks for your help and have a great day!
P.S. The settings in GLTools that I have tried for both of my apps include: Enable custom settings for this app, optimise GLSL shades, use fake GPU info, use a template (Tegra 4), simple mapbuffer emulation, software VBO emulation, use packed stencil buffer, half-float texture hack, fix FBO attachment sizes, and decode sRGB.

[Q] improve youtube quality videos

1st of all i must say sorry if there is another post about this but, is there a way to improve youtube video quality on our XL?????
the best quality im getting on youtube is 360p... our phone can play 720p videos without problems or lags but youtube only gets up to 360p
my phone is full stock device and bootloader is locked

you need to have root access
2 ways to improve quality:
1- With a modded youtube app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
cons: old version of youtube
pro: have many extra options like playing in background etc etc
2 - fake resolution: you can use xposed with "app settings" ,module to set the youtube app working with a higher resolution with lower dpi, this will enable 720p in the app

[GUIDE] Play Pokemon Go on Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P official stock firmware

If you want to play Pokemon Go on this or similar device, follow these steps.
1. Root your device, I recommend this guide
2. Download and install Pokemon Go mod for android 4.0.4+
3. Download and install GLTools.
4. Open GLTools and select Pokemon Go.
5. Check these options:
* Enable custom settings for this
* Anti-aliasing(MSAA/CSAA) Disable(forced)
* Use lower render resolution (use 0.5 or 0.25)
* Force 16bit rendering
* Optimaze GLSL shaders
* Downscale texture (use 0.5 or 0.25)
6. Play Pokemon Go

Iv been playing pokemon go with this method in CM13 but isnt exactly the best experience, places crowded with pokestops will severely reduce performance, is there any rom that can actually make the game playable without having to use gltools though?
(on my experience using 0.5x or 0.25x texture res is all its required to make it playable, all other settings have pretty much no impact in the performance other then looking way worse)

Use OmniROM. It's very smooth and i don't have problems with app performance.

LG k4 LTE Device lag

Hi. my device has become so slow lately. for example when I'm in a program it lags for 1 or 2 sec. is there anyway I could fix this problem without losing data/ factory reset?

Lg k4 2017 m160 is good except graphics processing
But after tweaking resolutions with adb shell wm i found that 300x533 and density 182 is best between quality and performance
Now i can play better Subway Surfers and in app Xash3D on same scene fps climbed up from 10-15 fps to 30-40 fps (playing half life)
Try change resolution to that
And also try closing apps from recents

[GUIDE] How to Really improve the gaming framerates on your Mi A1

Yo fellas, its your"rooting enthusiast SenpaiYank (lmao rooting enthusiast, as if such a thing exists)​
Well, as you know, our device has a quite outdated and not so beefy (at all) SoC, the snapdragon 625. While its CPU is not tremendously ridiculously bad, the GPU quite is. This is not a prolem to people who don't care about games but a very prominent one on the other side.
With the help of this trick, tweak, whatever you decide to call it, you'll practically be able to play any game out there that you're not able to or play that same game at a higher setting than you would. The trick consists basically on lowering the screen resolution through a script, trading some of the visual quality for a noticeable night day performance boost. It's a common trick that works on other devices too and I've yet to find a game that had problems with it.
I'm using "profile" scripts to achieve it so you can change it on the go. I feel that way is the most ergonomic and quick one. Just run each script with root permissions according to your need. I recommend FX file explorer. Wanna play a graphically intensive game? Switch to gaming profile. Wanna do something else besides gaming? Switch to the default one.
As I side note, the trick can be done on unrooted users too but you'll need a computer and you'll have to apply the gaming profile permanently (unless you're willing to repeat the procedure whenever you want to go back to default). I can talk about it if you guys get interested on it.
Enough blah blah, how do I do it ?​1st - Grab both of them (default.sh and gaming.sh)
2nd - Install (in case you don't have it), open and type this on the Terminal Emulator app:
Code:
su
To attain root access (not sure if needed but, just in case)
Code:
wm density
To get your current screen density value at 1080p (override density field).
Lets imagine you got 432.
3rd - Choose and calculate a new resolution for your gaming profile
So now lets ge to the actual work. Our device native resolution is 1080p (1920x1080) and we want to lower that.
I lower it to 810p (not a standard lmao) which is 75% of 1080p (1440x810) as it gives me agood balance between visual quality and performance. You can go even lower to something like 50% if you're ambituous about performance. At 810p I can expect a minimum of 25% performance uplift (not FPS).
So, to get your gaming profile resolution DPI, you multiply the relative percentage of it by the default profile resolution DPI.
Code:
[COLOR="darkred"]432[/COLOR] * [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]0.75[/COLOR] = [COLOR="Blue"]324[/COLOR]
This value will be your gaming resolution DPI a.k.a. the resolution from your gaming mode script.
4th - Edit default.sh and gaming.sh, apply the new values and save the files somewhere.
default.sh script should contain the values of your default resolution, in this case, 1920x1080 and 432. Size for resolution and density for DPI.
gaming.sh script should contain the values of your gaming profile resolution, in this case, 1440x810 and 324.
VOILÁ​
To make the process much much easier and quicker, I use FX file explorer and its shortcut feature so I can switch between both profiles from my home screen pretty easily. Whenever I'm not playing a demanding game Is stick to the default mode, whenever I'm playing a graphically intensive game, I switch to the gaming mode and enjoy the improvement.
Cool, cool. So, is there an actual improvement in performance or is this just one of these so called placebo tricks ?​It's definately not placebo and probably the most effective way around of increasing gaming performance!
I've tried to record a test with and without the trick (and failed, it doesn't look as effective in the video but I'll leave it here anyway). Take it with not 2 but 3 grains of salt due to all the uncontrallable factors that involved the scene, the actual gain in practical use is much more noticeable. The benchmark takes place in the super duper hot (pun intended) looking and intensive game, Shadowgun Legends.
On the first video, the device is running the Extreme Kernel, without the tweak, along a CPU cap of 2.5Ghz and a GPU cap of 855Mhz (or something around that). I didn't increase it further to prevent the device from overheating (which it already practically was) and because at a higher GPU clock, I would get arctifacts (my device does not support the 922Mhz frequency).

On the second video, the device is running a beta batch of the velocity kernel, with the tweak, along a CPU cap of 1.9Ghz and GPU cap of 672Mhz. I ran the device at a lower speed so you can see how useful the improvement can also be.
http://sendvid.com/fqum12jw
I ran the game at the high graphical setting (30 FPS max) on one of its most intesive scenarios and were at very high ambient temperatures (30C) so again, take the videos with a grain of salt. Used an external gamepad to play and used Scrcpy to record the screen (through wifi so, the quality and framerate from the recording is considerably worse than the actual one). You should also remember the 5-6 FPS strain of capturing the screen.
I also used game bench to monitor the framerate (top right corner) where the last 1 minute of each benchmark were with the screen capturing off. Once again, sorry for the bad quality of the recordings, I'll leave a screenshot of the game bench results.
Not willing to write a outro so, yeah, basically thats it

Here's another sample video, of the same game, this time at medium settings. Along the very noticeable smoother gameplay you can also notice how the GPU load goes down from 95-100 to 70-80 and it becomes less of the bottleneck on the scenario. With the gaming profile could I could actually remove the 30 fps cap and run the game at +30.
