Hello
has anyone tried the Chainfire3D driver yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
I have just installed it and its seamed to work fine (im not guaranteeing this will work for you use at own risk)
do people notice a diffrence?
Have you noticed any improvement in the 3D performance?

I saw this and was tempted but rememebred our driver was written specifically for the play with all enhancements already done, so I can see the above driver making things worse
It is unlikely as of today, since Chainfire has not reported about any phone with Adreno chipsets.

CHAINFIRE 3D is officially awsome i bought the pro version, spent 10 mins on google, download 1 or 2 unoffical plugins, and spent the last 20 minutes playing samurai 2 vengeance on my play im guna try some more tegra games later
*Edit* one or 2 slight graphical glitches on your boat (mad colour changes) but riptide gp works well on the play 2 with no lag, awsome graphics

samurai 2 says the device is not compatible without the drivers, and anyway nvida use a diffent texture compression method to quallcomm so you would get the black textures like you would with powervr textures

Once you load the drivers, you have to go to default opengl settings, a choose the driver you want to use

Once you load the drivers to the app, you can easly switch between them or even switch them off in default opengl settings. You dont even have to reboot before it takes effect

I just downloaded BackBreaker and when I went to play it, it would not render the graphics properly and it was impossible to play. I had this issue with one other game. Backbreaker is supposed to be coded for the Tegra2 so I don't understand why it would do this.
Could something I have frozen affect this? I have only frozen what was deemed safe in that thread.
Thanks

I am guessing you downloaded the free one off of Amazon. If you did it is the regular version and will not work on a Tegra device. The version you need is Backbreaker THD (Tegra HD) version.

Well that just sucks, haha. Non-free version FTL
LOL - I tried about 5 roms thinking one might help... why? because I saw in a video someone demoing it. I thought that they might have updated video drivers or something.
I'll keep playing it on my evo... fun game, but don't need it on all devices
Xda-developers forum member Chainfire has released an impressive new graphics utility for Android called Chainfire3D. He describes it as an “intermediary OpenGL driver” which can change commands sent from an app to your graphics driver. That allows you to do things like play games that require a specific graphics driver on unsupported hardware. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Here are a few things Chainfire3D can do:
NightMode reduces the number of colors on your display to save battery life on an OLED screen or make a screen easier to view in low-light settings.
Reduce texture resolutions by half, which can reduce memory use and improve performance when rendering 3D graphics.
Convert 32-bit textures to lower quality 16-bit textures.
Use plugins to emulate NVIDIA Tegra 2, PowerVR, or ATI graphics and report to the Android Market that your phone has that hardware (so you can download apps that normally require Tegra 2, for instance).
In order to use Chainfire3D you’ll need a rooted phone with a 1 GHz or faster processor. The software has been tested on a number of phones including the Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid 2, and Google Nexus S.
Some games may not play properly even with Chainfire3D installed, and there’s a chance that you won’t get the same kind of graphics performance that you would with a real NVIDIA Tegra2 processor, but many users are reporting that they’re not seeing any real problems with Tegra-specifica games running on non-Tegra devices.

http://mobiputing.com/2011/05/chainfire3d-graphics-driver-for-android-can-boost-graphics-performance-reduce-battery-drain/
Description
!! Android 2.1 and newer, NOT for Honeycomb !!
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF is also required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Epic 4G
- Motorola Atrix 4G
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X
- Google Nexus S
It's likely to work on far more devices. So far nobody has reported a failed install, so that's good. Doesn't mean problems can't happen.
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!

Anyone try it on their G2 yet? Seems like it could help boost performance a bit.
Just installed it but I don't really see any difference in performance... ran Nenamark and still got the same fps.

Did you set it up to drop the image quality for that specific app (or drop the quality in the global settings)? Not doubting your knowledge but we all do things like that at times
Anyway, as far as running and not causing any fc's that I've seen over the past 24 hours the drivers are stable. As far as working, I guess we'll just have to do some more testing.
I DLed this last night and have not had any FCs. I have the CF3d driver installed but no options checked. I will need to play some games and play with settings to se what this does for or phones. Anybody gory any suggestions for games to try?

Uhm... to try the tegra games i have to buy the pro version to fix the market so i can download the games?
I don't know about pro-vs-free for tegra games but you need plugins to make it work regardless. They're attached at the bottom of the post in the link. Credit goes to the op.

So my new SGS2 has ALL this graphical horsepower...is there anything that actually takes advantage of it? I haven't found any reviews of mobile games that really talk about graphics, so I thought I'd ask the xda users what you guys would suggest...
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD
Grave Defense HD is pretty awesome on GS II
Reptide GP. Galaxy on Fire 2. Or that Samurai game. All these are Tegra 2 optimized games, so they look great.
Non tegra games... Modern Combat 2, Grave defence HD, Battlehart...
I also impres my friends with old games running on emulators, like Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Final Fantasy, etc

Although it seems ironic that the games which makes the best use of Mali-400 are "Tegra 2 optimized". If I didn't know better I'd think that the whole "tegra optimized" thing is just marketting bull****...

There is a pretty long post about the differences between tegra games and non-tegra games. Tegra "optimized" games are simply using nvidia texture compression method
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I go to the android market and try to install a tegra game in my sgs2, it says the mobile is incompatible and doesn't allow the installation process to go through.
Is there a way to circumvent this?
Thanks for any tips.

From what I've heard, Tegra-only effects are bs. In other words, it'll run fine on any hardware that is capable of pushing the extra load (and a Mali-T604 should have no problem with that seeing as it seems to be better then Tegra 3 by a significant bit).
In any case, if someone could get a hold of Fruit Ninja THD Free, that would be a fine test to see if Tegra games can even be played.

They probably will not work since they use Tegra specific API for rendering... the best you could do is use Chainfire3D, but I don't know if or how well that'll work with Android 4.2

There's pages of people using Tegra Effects on non-tegra devices for DEAD TRIGGER, so if anything, it's possible maybe for a few games.
There are plenty of people in the Themes & Apps forum, mentioning that they've got various games working in the N10 gaming thread, so some of them do work, it's just getting hold of the ones you own legitimately that's the difficult part.
I tried modding my build.prop but my market died and failed to connect to the server until I restored it. A reboot at that stage would likely cause you to bootloop so I didn't try rebooting.

That was because it used standard GPU API for the advanced effects, but just turned it on for Tegra only devices... the game itself euns even on non-Tegra devices... any game with Tegra specific API calls will not work... some may start up, but may FC when they reach a point when such a call is made... but most apps written specifically for Tegra check the GPU and don't continue...
