Chainfire3D on Optimus One

The Optimus One has the adreno 200 GPU which supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and meets the requirements for Chainfire3D. I have it running on my Optimus T with 2.2 and haven't noticed anything different when configuring the default settings. Nightmode works, but that's just about it.

Warning: This replaces (from my understanding of the thread) an existing driver with a new one. It requires root.
I would like to hear back experiences from others who have an Optimus one and tried Chainfire3D.

It also requires a 1 ghz+ cpu. Try running a tegra game to see if it works. Don't know if they will even start... HDPI res required.

Tegra Zone doesn't render properly in HVGA but the screen resolution is not entirely the problem. Installing a game from it crashes the device, probably because it was never made to work with ARM11 chipsets.

Maybe it is/will be useful for something we don't know yet.

For me only pinball hd for tegra works fine... nothing else :/

Tried with guerilla bob thd, and a few other thd games. But chainfire doesn't work with those games.

Problem with Chainfire
I am using an Optimus one Myself and attempted installing this but not only did it fail to install I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even open upthe app to allow the attempt of the installation of the codec. (basically I attempt to launch it, it fails goes back to menu, this first happened when I was able to launch the program and attempt to install the codec) Now my best guess if I had any is It's incorrect ROM or something. I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting used to this phone. Already rooted it and broken once thus fixing/reflashing. So I've learned a few things. But if someone better then me and I'm sure there are lots of you here could just point me in the right direction I'd be very happy person indeed. Also, If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize I really suck at this forum thing.

Another odd thing I noticed, I was only able to oc to 600mhz when I've heard I could oc it to 1000mghz. Is this something to do with my rom?

Overclocking to 1ghz is not possible with optimus one...maximum stable clock speed is 806mhz...it seems u r on stock with root...in that u cannot oc to more than 600mhz...
use any other custom kernel...or simply use any other ROM...

LOL 1gHz on an Optimus One... Haha my O1 gets 806mHz tops!

I can run 864MHz on my phone and combined with the correct settings on chainfire 3d u can definitely notice a difference in gaming performance

Would the fact that Chainfire 3d is now not even booting also have something to with the fact that I'm running a stock ROM and cannot overclock passed 600?

I'm going to try out this talho rom and hope for the best.

I figured it all out. simple reading errors on my part as it were going through tutorials and whatnot. either way I got chainfire working just working on download GTa3 to see how it performs.

It worked for me a while ago on CM7 and oxygen, it doesn't need 1GHz+ and is no risk, reflashing the ROM replaces it
Just give it a go, but you need opengles line in build.prop

Great performance improvement for my Samsung Galaxy Tab

I followed this guide to install Overcome_v2.0.0_RC1:

I love it! My Tab is faster, does not lag anymore and just works great!
Thanks to all devs.

great news will try it thanks.

Same here. The improvement in the stock browser is jaw dropping. It used to be shocking, now it hangs with my iPad now problems.

hmmm . i think the thread is out of record .. !!

So this will not work with the Sprint Tab? I am new to all of this.

i experienced that it is quite fast to change between stagefright on and of with blade buddy, even without any reboot or ui restart, so more or less enables playing all movies in best way.
anyway, when someone could write a very small app that just toggles stagefright for the player on and off through widget, it would be the perfect solution (until there is a real fix available - which doesn't seem to be yet)

Its really nice

Did you turn all of your mediafright settings on, or just the one with -http at the end?
I already downloaded it. I enabled hw.acceleration, but for mediafright the only one I have on is the one with the -http tag. Should I turn all on?
I'm using mVideoPlayer for videos btw. My Mobo still lags.

Whoaaa.... Chill out mate. No point trying to call people names., or accusing anyone of lying.
It's true that the Gingerbread-based ROMs (including Overcome RC1) doesn't have ext4 support so it'll make some file-intensive tasks to be slower than it is on the optimised, ext4-enabled Froyo-based firmwares.
Benchmarks, and especially synthetic benchmarks like Quadrant are slightly skewed in that area. As anyone with extensive experience with these tools will tell you, benchmark tools like these do not reflect real-world experience.
However, on non-I/O intensive based tasks, the back-end optimisations on GB does provide for a much more smoother experience. It's just not as properly optimised as the Froyo-based Overcome 1.x series yet...
... And yes, there will be someI apps that will be broken, whenever a new, major base like this is released.
Of course, the best scenario would be an overclocking/undervolting, ext4-supporting kernel for Gingerbread, of which AB86 is currently busy working on in his Batcave...
Trust me, as a person who has extensive experience with ALL Overcome ROMs and kernels, I prefer the current Gingerbread-based ROMs compared to the Froyo-based ones.
Anyway, my point is this... everybody's got their own preference and choice. Some prefer the Froyo-based ROMs/kernels over Gingerbread, just like some prefer Windows XP over Windows 7. No point trying to be fanboi-ish or militant about stuffing your choices down people's throats...
Relax and enjoy the fruits of AB86 labours...

I'm using an "old" 1.4.x overcome version and I am fully happy with.
I have no issue at all, that's why I don't upgrade to 2.x
Anyway, when google talk video will work, I'll be pleased to upgrade to 2.x, in the meantime, I have no reason to upgrade.
The other reason is the upgrade processing : I have no windowz computer, so using odin and friends is a pain in the a**.

If they released this with overcome it might have had half a chance in the market against ipad.

420MB Huge RAM Kernel from China

*Disclaimer*
This is not my work and I am just posting it here in case some of you are interested. I take no responsibility for any problems on your phone. Don't expect any support from me.
**NOT TESTED BY MYSELF**
This kernel is for ICS, made in China.
Basically a 420MB RAM is the only difference from other kernel (although it's a big one).
Not working:
-Video recording
-HW decoding
-Camera FC when changing resolution (seems to be a problem on every ICS ROM)
Working:
Everything else
Original thread:
http://bbs.lidroid.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=102046
Downloads: http://code.google.com/p/all-roms/downloads/list
The original thread says that the developer tested it with CM9 and AOKP builds.
Have fun!!

OMFG this kernel is AWESOME!!

EDIT:
Gameloft games don't work couse they use a HW decoded Gameloft logo movie at the beginning so the phone restarts.

What about building a new kernel like this one but... In english ?

My assumption that this would be:
The ramdisk or whatever it called has been modified, i have heard this before with my Nexus S, its so called : BIGMEM...

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Not a lot of people come here... Hope they notice it? lol

nice
tried on Dark knight.
work very well. but camcorder fc.
interesting

Isn't part of the RAM required by the gpu? Maybe that's why it has hardware decoding issues??

We normally get 340Mb Ram with bigmem kernel (break HD record), he disable the MFC in http://pastebin.com/f5ytsipx so the kernel reclaim 70Mb from video HW decoding, so the kernel got 420Mb, but it's not the way to do things, probally will never get into out mainline kernel

Uuh, if there only was a way to keep HW decoding AND get 420 mb! My SGS sure could use extra 70mb, 330 is just NOT ENOUGH for Android.

Wow, I would love to try it if it were a gingerbread (stock) kernel .
If people want to use multiple kernels, it probably only takes a minute to flash an alternate kernel and reboot your device. that way you get the best of both worlds (but admittedly it is not the best solution).

I just went and read about the thread since I can read chinese lol
The dev there said he based his kernel on this guy https://github.com/ngiordano/ics_3.1.10
and Funnnny was correct, he disabled the MFC so that android can reclaim the reserved ram from that unit, which is about 70MB. But this breaks hardware video decoding and camcorder.....
But he made a compensation in the recovery so that when you need camcorder you can reboot and flash standard kernel, when you don't need it, you can flash back to the huge ram kernel....
dunno if that's useful....

Oh but can't play any games. Giving fc. I'm very interested! If you can override videos in game, you can play. Lets find a way to fix it. Think think rhink
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

Very interesting! How long have users complained "Where is our 512mb???" etc etc lol.
Is it just me or does dedicated RAM seem not necessary? Maybe it is possible to remap video/gpu/camera or whatever to shared RAM?

+1 oswade.
btw,which one to download??:there's one named i9000 and another t959 kernel panic fixed.
edit:well I downloaded the i9000 one. .it feels good to see 240 mb free ram on the info screen.
hope some developer further develops this idea.

Dedicated RAM isn't necessary of course, but the Exynos SoC have MFC module that expect to use the Ram at a specific address, so the kernel can't touch it (known as reservation).
We can't just take the reserved Ram and use it, because next time when the module need it, it'll only use the Ram at the address it knows, and bang, the phone rebooted like the kernel in OP.
This is not just bad design at software level, maybe bad hardware design too, but I'm not system expert so I can't say anything here, but Exynos is a cool SoC and we should live on with this.

I've tried:
Dead Space
Andry Birds
Reckless Getaway
Hot Springs Story
They does work.
SPY mouse restarts the phone. I guess, it has a video in it.
Anyway, this kernel is rather interesting. I do hope that devs would find a way to trick SGS to play HD videos in software mode to avoid reboots. This way we'll have 70mb extra ram and won't lose anything - even if those videos would lag - who cares?

Also tried this kernel on ics slim and it feels good to have such ammount of free ram.
I also run dead space and reckless racing without any problems.Im assuming gameloft games wont run because they have always a video introducing the game.I just wish someone could break the video aceleration even if we had to loose lets say 20 mb of ram.Still would be very usefull.Ive posted in the stratosk kernel thread about this to see if he is interested on modify this kernel and make it even better

Water cooled would be soo awesome !

there is a theory by turgot, that increasing a faktor wont increase the outcome at a specific point anymore. therefore i would be really interested how your play handles games at that oc. not only a benchmark, something like a video where its possible to see occouring errors, if there are any
this is great work you did, and it may allows some modification to the play.yes im thinking about cooling..even if it wont be that portable anymore. thanks for your help

2.3GHz
I'm currently going where no developer would go before my customized kernel has 26 CPU frequinces all up and a max of 2.3GHz
But without the GPU overclock and a 8mb GPU memory vs Lupus and dooms 4mb

i cant go even more than 1.6ghz

Needed an extra cooler solution and an powerful battery, like Mugen 3600mAh, to maintain this level of OC for diary use. Would be amazing!

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?

IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.
Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...

What about 2 cents on this VRAM apparently being doubled?
At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?

Can you post some benchmarks for the CPU? And also tell us more about the VRAM... Did it make any difference?

I believe that the Xplay has good chances of reach 2.0GHZ, running fine, provided has an good thermal solution. In my test, the games run fine for some minutes, before start overheat. Needed of somebody to build an custom cooler, then, make some tests. In my opinion, the safe clock, for sure, is not only 1.6GHZ. Only for default cooler.

Well after doing some research it looks like (Assuming you're rooted with custom ROM, cwm recovery, Google Apps enabled etc.) We can "safely" overclock the GPU.
I used Google translate and found the following Spanish user said, "Tegra overclock (no Tegrak): Default uya the gpu of 200mhz and can come to no problem climbing to 520 (more crashes) and force the 4 cores to stay on. It is quite noticeable in some ways, the vice city to the fullest without almost pulls, n64 emus greatly improved the framerate but less so in the benchmarks. The temperature in my case (I have it out of the box) is no problem. http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/71430637/file.html

It is working fine for me on 519r2. If you don't mess with the CPU speed, which there is really no reason to, there shouldn't be any noticeable increase in heat. I just have the GPU set to 520 and the FPS locked at 60. It has definitely made games I considered previously unplayable, playable.

In my case, even with "Set at boot time" enabled, the settings are not sticking. I have to do it every time I power on the box - which becomes a bit tedious. Same goes for not being able to wake the Ouya from the controller.
I checked with No-frills CPU Control to see the CPU % use vs different governors and I found (same as on my N4) that "interactive" seems to be the better one.
