Reduce or improve gfx quality - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a game I've been playing for years on my mobile that runs without issues, it's available on shield "war commander rogue assault" but the gfx settings are so high that it runs crap, I've tried using the app optimiser built into the ROM (activating all cores and reducing resolution) but has had no impact and reducing resolution just shrinks the display into a pip display type mode.. I haven't tried any other games yet but guessing I'll have similar issues..
I'm using the 5.4.1 custom ROM image, and the k10 overclock kernel, I've also enabled the forcing of GPU 2d and 4x msaa but no luck.. any input would be appreciated thanks

[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
the GLTools S2 plus works with android 4.2.2??
yep it works now there is another version 1.07 support's fake cpu .... u can make quad cpu .. good luck

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.

Boost Android Gaming Performance with this trick

This hidden feature will boost your Android gaming performance [/B
igntimes.com/boost-android-gaming-performance/
Great
Greate toool
It will not boost performance. It will make graphics better.
From the website:
"After you activate this function, your Android phone will render games at the highest possible quality."
It will activate anti aliasing, therefore consuming more power and resources, reducing performance in order to make it look better.
Nice setting, however usually when using higher quality settings it can also decrease performance on slower devices.
Isn't it danager to overclock the phone
The phone will get bad not better i don't recommend it

[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).
http://sendvid.com/zi9l8q44
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.

Gaming on honor 8

Games like pubg running like mess on honor 8 nougat 7.0 even a hundred dollar phone can run pubg better
I think the main culprit is kernel bcz pubg is not using high performance cortex a72 cores i have monitored it while playing
My ques is : is upgrading to oreo will solve the problem??
Because this chip is not optimised by game developers
Or can we tweak the kernel
Or can i turn off 1st cluster of a53 cores
??????
pubg runs good on my phone
Maybe if someone be able to port GPU turbo to honor 8
I have noticed the exact same thing but the bigger cores drop to prevent over heating i guess. Playing pubg on paranoid Android rom, using root and forcing a72 to work at performance using kernel adiutor works great.
How to force a72 cores??

Use kernel adiutor app from play store. You need root access so either magisk or SuperSU. Then you can drag from the left to find core option and you can then choose the frequencies of both a72 and a53. Use full while playing. It'll kill your battery not drain but really kill your batteries life.
It works best on custom ROMs, tried on stock but failed because of the kernel continuously resetting.
Search on google for "GPU turbo XDA". There's a thread where a developer has created something like GPU turbo. You'll need a custom recovery and magisk installed on your device to use it. Hopefully it might help. To play pubg I use Gltools and Gfx tool for pubg.
Set your GPU to adreno 540 using gltools and then open PUBG. In the graphics settings change the Quality to "Smooth", this will unlock extreme FPS setting. And select FPS as "Extreme". Disable changing auto fps. Save the settings. Now try playing the game.
(Optional) Exit the game and open GFX tool for PUBG. Select 0.7 version and change the resolution to lowest and graphic settings to "So smooth". Don't touch the FPS setting. Save and run the game. With this the game will run smoothly with over 40+ fps all the time for hours. But your trade off will be some graphics in the game which you'll have to get used to. I hope this helps.
Game is not running when i set adreno 540 on gltools
It closes automatically

It works fine for me in any adreno and Mali GPU setting except for open GL2.0 GPUs. Maybe you should try clear data in PUBG and try again.
Just a quick update. Games are working super smooth on RROS B2. I didn't have to use gfx tool for pubg to reduce graphics like I used to do before. Just used gltools to unlock 60 fps and it works like charm in higher graphics quality and steady frames around 50-60fps. And the best thing is phone is not even getting hot even after 1 hour of pubg :good:

Just wanted to check whether anyone else's device drains battery even while charging when playing pubg or if it is only my phone.. any reply would be appreciated
You shouldn't play games while charging. It's killing battery fast.
Will we get gpu turbo on H8?
No

Yes the battery drains even while plugged and playing pubg. That's only on stock ROM. In Custom ROMs it charges even when you play.

Are these facts correct?

4X MSAA increases gaming performance?
Peaople still believe that 4x msaa in developer options is a magical button for gaming. MSAA means MultiSample Anti Aliasing . Aliasing means clear edges of a frame which are not plain. Anti-aliasing makes those edges blurry & look like they are plain. So, the graphics experience slightly improves. But 4 times anti aliasing(4x msaa) is an extra process. It's good for highend devices to get better graphics. But how can it improve "Performance" in a lowend device? I found no logic.
Force gpu rendering is good for battle royale games?
This is a popular feature for people who plays battle royale games. But it's clearly written on the description "Force use gpu to render 2d images". Fun fact is battle royale games are 3d. So gpu is already used to render the graphics there. Wtf will improve by literally forcing gpu to render 2d images for games?
Activating Force 4x MSAA setting in Android Developer Options, you can enjoy a better gaming performance on outdated devices: It forces your phone to use 4x multisample anti-aliasing in OpenGL 2.0 games and apps. However, enabling this setting can drain your smartphone's battery faster.
On devices which renders graphics using OpenGL 3x it's useless.
