OpenGL ES 2.0 on HTC HD2

Dear all,
I plan to purchase HTC HD2 for development. Could I kindly ask for help with the following, please:
Will it be possible to develop application on HTC HD2 usin OGL ES 2.0?
Will HD2 video driver support Open GL ES 2.0?
Is there already OpenGL ES 2.0 SDK available?
These answers are very important to me, and I bet not only for me. Any advice how to get the answer would be hepful as well.
Thanks a lot,
Rene

I'm having the same questions here. Any help?

Dear Chainfire,
Does it mean, that HD2 supports OGL ES 2.0 optimized drivers? I hear from all the sides, that Open GL applications on much slower than they really should, because of poor support in the Drivers.
Regards,
Rene

HD2 dos indeed support both GLv1 and GLv2 properly.
It is not so much that the drivers are badly optimized, they just have 2 major issues with them. One being a compatibility issue which can be equally blamed on as well game/app coders as HTC/Qualcomm, the other being a vicious bug that really needs fixing by HTC/Qualcomm. Aside from those two issues, the drivers are perfectly fine.

[Help] Need help with FPse with OpenGL on SIII

Hi ppl, I'm new to that forum and I have a problem with FPse and OpenGL in Galaxy S III.
Today I Buyed that PSX emulator and when the FPSE was in Software GPU mode it crashes every time I try to modify the Video options (Like Enable advanced 3d Rendering) so I put FPse in OpenGL mode without PSX Bios(HLE), I actived the Dynamic Interpreter and when I play on any game It run but I have Low FPS rate,
eg: In FF7 I have 30-40 Fps and on Tekken 3 40-60, but i dont find a way to have a stable FPS.
I have the version 11.28 i tried 11.26 but I have the same problem.
I tried the psx4driod 3.0.7 and I have sound Lag and the quality of game is not the same.
I tried the Mali400 trick with tekken 3 and anything changed
I have the S3 with the Samsung Stock Rom.
Thank you for your help and sorry for my english.

I updated the FPse to 11.29 version, this update improves the frame rate, but it not perfect anywant can say me the perfect setting for galaxy SIII with OpenGL and FF8 or 7?

US sgs 3 doesnt have mali 400 it has adreno 225
*edit im sorry guys i didnt realize i was in the international gs 3 forums i have no idea how i got here i was just browsing the sprint forums and now im here would a mod please remove this thank you

I've created a OpenGL thread on the FPSE website - please search for "Understanding FPSE and PEOpS OpenGL" (I'm still new so I can't post links yet). Please check it out (on the FPSE website).
The Galaxy S III (I9300) uses a Mali-400. The other 3 S III's use the Adreno 225. Check the gsmarena website (again, I can't post links).
There are two possible issues here:
The Mali-400 has the known issue that you already talked about. It sounds like you've done what you can to check this. I didn't know that it had issues in software rendering mode with the enhanced 3d rendering, that sounds odd, but I haven't followed all the mali400 issues on FPSE. You have a powerful device, so I'm not sure why you would have issues. I would recommend posting on the fpse forums, specifically in the android feedback thread.
The other possible problem is the Adreno 225. There are known issues with the Adreno 220 - maybe there are issues with the 225 as well? I don't know. The Adreno 220 recommended fix is updating to ICS (which I think you have) and updating your drivers. Search the FPSE forum for "opengl and andreno 220/225 gpu" for more info.

[Q] Chainfire 3D on Xperia Play

Hey there guys
yesterday i bought chainfire 3D on my Xperia Play, it works fine, but in the section Open-GL per App i can't activate the MSAA and DEPTH Buffer because it requires a driver, but i've installed all the drivers and plugins like the QUALCOMM, NVIDIA and POWERVR. What do i have to install to get those things work?? Or it's simple because Xperia Play doesn't support?
the plugins i found by searching and of course i've installed:
nvidia: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pme09ev45tvxuu6/libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
qualcomm: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yflfd6wwhule66x/libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.zip
powervr: http://www.mediafire.com/download/9jlvzcd2kaiw9ti/libGLEMU_POWERVR.zip
For now i can play Nova 3 with full details and it runs very smooth, totally playable
Android version: 2.3.7
Chainfire 3D drivers are the stock drivers that you need to make the app works

When installing chainfire drivers, check install EGL driver.

And two last questions Chainfire's drivers stay above the configuration of adreno booster right?? If i uninstall or install adreno booster, it won't cange anything right??

booster isnt driver, its just config. so, it will not collide with any driver.

I tried chain fire on slim bean and it caused it to get stuck on the animation

Understood man thank you so much!! But i uninstalled adreno booster just to be sure Nova 3 + Unroll texture is amazing i can run it very smoothly with DxEngine fast kernel + Gin2Jellybean rom 2.3.7 and some more other games like MC4, Dead trigger and Asphalt 7 with a modified deviceprofile.xml to get the best quality

Of course it caused stuck on animation and some other performance reduction, the app is compatible only with GB roms

Ik but I just wanted to try it but anyways it don't work

End this conversation here please... Chainfire works perfectly and you wrong to try to install it on a JellyBean rom when it's only for GingerBread.

I had chainfire3d some time ago but i remember it seemed to kill a bit of performance , eh I think i did some wrong settings. You sure it doesn't affect adreno booster ? I'm on gin2jb too

well i don't think, because adreno booster isn't a driver. Chainfire 3D reduces my performance when i play Nova 3 because i use the unroll texture option xD and the overall graphics is increased a lot so in this case the performance are a little bit low but it's not unplayable, viceversa is totally playable in all enviroment that i face during the game, the quality is maxed and i love it

Yes, this app is compatible only for GB and the developer, well, i don't think he will work to make it compatible with JB and this is so sad because now i passed to JellyBean 4.1.2 from Gingerbread 2.3.7

OpenGL (not OpenGL ES) Games - working and not working

I've been trying out a few games on the Pixel C and have found a lot of issues, specifically with games using full OpenGL as opposed to OpenGL ES.
So far, I found the following:
Trine 2 Doesn't even start, the developers tell me the Pixel C is not supported but they can't mark it as such on the play store for some reason.
The Talos Principle Works, but most of the effects break the rendering, so it will only run with basic visuals.
Anyone else have any to add?

All the games I have tried work fine. The only exception was Hitman Sniper. That game worked fine before they did a Christmas update, now I have graphics problems.
The games I have played and worked are: This War of Mine, Pac Man 256, Horizon Chase and Geometry Wars.

I believe all these are OpenGL ES games as they all have an IOS port. I'm specifically looking for full OpenGL games that have been written specifically for, or ported from PC and console, to Tegra K1 & X1 devices e.g Pixel C, Shield tablet & Shield AndroidTV.
Thanks for the input.

are you sure that full opengl games are supported by google on the pixel c and not only by shield devices?
Maybe it’s like on the n9.

I'm not sure at all as Google have not made it clear. This is what I'm trying to determine.
If Google are aiming the Pixel C at productivity users, supporting Desktop OpenGL is a good way to help developers port their software.

if you’re rooted try gl tools and set it to emulate the shield tablet.

Seriously? GLTools contains alternative OpenGL ES driver.

At least Half life 2 should be playable on pixel c.

lol. Tegra 4 is incompatible with OpenGL. So, HL2 on tegra 4, or emulation of tegra 4, is NO OPENGL GAME. You can stop gltools advertising.

tegra 4 was 3 years ago, best to use nvidia tv or the upcoming[hopefully] shield x1.

I know this thread is pretty old but I have had the same issue with Hitman Sniper, and also Unpossible runs but none of the menus will display.

tons of games crash on startup that im pretty sure dont even use opengl. i wish i could remember which ones but it was a good chunk of them. if i find them ill come back here.

Hello, I installed DIII4A (DOOM3) and QIII4A on my pixel C and they worked well. I think the apps for the shield don't work on pixel C.

Sorry for the thread necro. I'm on AICP Pie and when I go into the play store for D3 BFG edition it says 'your device is not compatible' even though we've got an X1 chipset. What gives?

I installed DIII4A manually not from play store.
