[Q] Force GPU Acceleration on per-app basis? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So we all know we can force 2D GPU acceleration in the developer menu. This makes older apps run much smoother, with best example being the official adobe reader. This app changes from laggy mess to smooth butter when GPU acceleration is enabled.
On the other hand, my nexus 7 commonly freezes ("black screen of death"). I am suspecting this to be caused by this GPU acceleration option. Is there a way to enable GPU acceleration for certain app, so that it turns off when the app is exited?
Thanks!

What hardware acceleration mean?

Or what is the difference between froyo and honeycomb when running apss?
Doesn't every software use the hardware and how is it possible to run app without using the hardware?
I can't get it, so please explain
Honeycomb will use the GPU to accelerate the UI, Internet Browser etc. (So 2D elements too, not just 3D - that means full hardware acceleration).
Honeycomb will come with hardware acceleration, and with just a single line of code, existing applications can take advantage of the 2D hardware acceleration. Honeycomb will come with a new engine for powering 3D graphics on your devices.

show CPU usage force GPU rendering

what is CPU usage on developer option there is a box you can check as well as GPU renderingcan anyone explain this. Should i check the box,does GPU RENDERING (USE 2D HARDWARE ACCELERETION IN APPLICATIONS) will make my phone faster?
i'll be honest everyone in this forum says to enable 2D rendering and it makes the phone smoother. but i find the exact opposite. when i enable 2D, apps get very choppy for me. system panel for example is super smooth, but enable 2d and it scrolls choppy. same result for every app i try.

[Q] CM9 ICS hardware rendering doesn't work, how to force software rendering?

I can't play ANY type of video since flashing CM9.0 FXP114, since hardware rendering doesn't work and only renders a frame or two while changing orientation. But I found that switching to software rendering in MX Video Player would work. How can I force software decoder in other apps? Or is there any other solution?

Seriously, anyone?

in build.prop, if you add/modify the value "debug.sf.hw=0", that should turn off hardware acceleration I think

Thanks, but, nope. I'm talking about hardware decoding, not acceleration. When Android tries to play video, it lets the hardware do the hard work (excuse the pun, again), but in this case, FXP CM9 ICS doesn't come with working hardware decoding, it makes impossible to see the video and leaves only the audio. A workaround for this is to use software decoding instead, but I don't know how to do so... Any help?

You can't, just wait for FXP to release a new version, hw decoding should be fixed then

I have a similar problem as well when I Force 2D GPU rendering and turn Wifi On I get a Imiediat force close which is a shame Im tired of CM9 crashing same with a couple of other things and tweaks.
You may be able to use KeiranFTW's Xperia Tweak I came across today for JIT and 2D rendering

None of those things touch the hw decoder, just wait for FXP to fix it, shouldn't be too long

gpu rendering

what is the function of gpu rendering of ics?
i just feel the decrease of performance after enable it
Some apps are not using it at all and others have issues. It is better to disable "Force 2D GPU Rendering". That way, only applications optimized for ICS will be utilizing GPU rendering.

Force gpu rendering on or off for best performance ?
