Hello,
As I know Qualcomm has not made corresponding graphics drivers for the new Vulkan API for Snapdragon 800 and 801. So S5 can't have Android 7.x Nougat. If it is true how it is possible that we have CM/Lineageos 14.x for S5? Did developers write their own graphics drivers? What about performance comparing to official 6.0.1 Marshmallow?
best regards,

We don't need to use the Vulkan API to run CM14.X/LineageOS, therefore there is no need to write new drivers Vulkan is only required when a manufacturer wants to ship android nougat to their device officially. Performance wise, official 6.0.1 marshmallow will always be the best when compared to AOSP because Samsung has some closed-source drivers that can only be used on official stock ROM.

As the title suggests, has anyone successfully install Xposed Framework and getting it to work smoothly on 5.0.2 TW Lollipop on any one of the Galaxy A series? If so, how?
For now, there is NO xposed for 64bit TW Lollipop.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118
You must use unofficial build.
I'am using this one (v5-karit), but first of all you must deodex you rom.
Question; But AFAIK, there's no Xposed for 64bit operating systems, but this should not affect devices as the A5 which doesn't have a 64bit OS?
Also, I have a Samsung SM-A500FU which have a Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 CPU, this is a 64bit CPU. What ARM version does it have? (From what I can tell from sources around the web it's ARMv8 but system information apps from Google Play says it's ARMv7..

It doesnt mean STOCK ROM, maybe aosp or cm.

Most probably a custom ROM, Google denied support to the old chipset in LG G3 due to incompatibility with the performance enhancements introduced in 7.0. There is also a testing going on in CyanogenMod using 7.0 nightly tests.
Thats what I heard.

There will be no official Nougat updates for any Snapdragon 800/801 devices.
Nougat brings support for Vulkan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)
Qualcomm did not and will not update the blobs for Vulkan support.
Google requires all devices with Android 7 to support Vulkan, for compatability of games.
So if a manufacturer would release an official Nougat for those devices, Google would not allow them to ship it with Google apps. Therefore there is no update coming 100%. Dont wait for it.
EDIT: Just for clarification, Vulkan is not required to run Android 7. But in the future games will run more performant using Vulkan, so Google wants to ensure, that every Vulkan game runs on Android 7.
This does not stop Custom ROM developers to support Android 7
like the title says can a porter make an rom for g900f because i can not port
did you have official samsung android 7.0 for s5?
no because samsung didn't relase it and qualcomm didn't relase driver for snapdragon 801
so you can forget it
you can get android 7 only with aosp rom
Hello guys
New vulkan driver with ver 1.1.66
http://www.vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=3597
http://www.vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=3603
But i couldnt find rom mayde it is official alpha not released yet anyone has news please post info here thank you.
Does their driver 511.1023.4095 android version suggest the google android version? because then that driver is meant to android 8.1? Confused here?
One link for 8.0 and the other for 8.1 both with vulkan 1.1.66
So in both oreo.
Graphics driver not yet available for adreno 530 from Qualcomm see screenshot from Qualcomm development website
So I've been recently trying to benchmark my Axon 7 with AnTuTu (running latest official Oreo on my phone). It scores around 187000 with AnTuTu v9.0.3. My question is why it says on AnTuTu that my phone doesn't support Vulkan API. AnTuTu uses Vulkan to further test GPU power. I read somewhere that Snapdragon 820 and Adreno 530 are capable of supporting Vulkan API. I bet if AnTuTu tested my phone with Vulkan rather than skip that part, my phone would score higher in GPU power! Does it say that your Axon 7 doesn't support Vulkan API either?! What's your Axon 7's score on AnTuTu?
Our chipset support vulkan, just stock oreo doesn't.
Oreo B04 has daydream support. Maybe it also support vulkan.
Raystef66 made two packages with newer adreno drivers for both - stock and custom roms.

Oh, thank you for your reply. I never thought the latest stock Oreo on Axon 7 couldn't support Vulkan. I'd be checking raystef66's drivers later.
