Any chance of Vulkan API on our Beloved 10?
Yey, Android N give us Vulkan.

Juste seeing the next gen API, Vulkan, and potential benefit (performance, energy efficient (CPU can sleep a little ), multiplatform & easy to port game apps on any OS), can work on mobile/desktop platforms with OpenGL ES 3.1, and OpenGL 4.2 and next !
Vulkan is a very good new for increase performances & battery life ! Our Zenfone 2 seems be have a PowerVR Rogue G6430 with OpenGL ES 3.1 support, so, there is a way to have benefit of this API on him. :good:
Mi max is a great phablet for some games. Today we have many good roms based on android 7.1. Maybe @TheStrix add vulkan api support in cm14.1 if adreno 510 support it?
Is it possible to get a newer version of DirectX on a Lumia 930 ? The actual version is a DirectX 11.

Don't you have DirectX 11 ? I think DirectX 12 it's not available for WM.
Got this info from Antutu. Running WM 10 Insider fast mode.
What "level 9.3" means ?
Thanks.

DirectX feature level. Level 9.3 means "DirectX 9.3 feature level" (but DirectX has a downward compatibility, so it means that the driver must provide at least that feature but actual DirectX level may be higher).
AFAIK, W10M supports DirectX 12.0 with some missed features (but I'm not an expert).

Thanks for the post.
A friend told me what happens on the Lumia 930. He said it doesn't support DirectX 11. Lumias 950-950XL support and get a lot higher score on Antutu because some tests require DirectX 11.
I have noticed recently that some custom ROMs on Zuk Z2 support the vulkan API. (Dev options->GPU rendering->opengl/open gl (skia)/vulkan)
I have seen at least two custom ROMs' screen shots on which some members had vulkan as an option but i never had it.
So questions:
Does vulkan API really help in 3d gaming if selected?
How could I enable it as an option on a ROM which supports it but i don't have it?

Only the games which actually run on vulkan engine. Currently, the most famous is Vainglory which is e-sports moba for touch. and there are like 6-7 android games which run on vulkan. And also, Adreno 530 already supports Vulkan API, it should come enabled by default for supported apps.

do we still need a separate vulkan build for vulkan on VG? or it has been merged to the main game?

The API is already in-built and Adreno 530 fully supports it. All you need is a game which works on vulkan api.
Take a look at the game which run on vulkan API: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_support

yes, but in the past if you want to play vainglory with vulkan, you need a separate build for samsung s7 devices because the game from play store doesnt have vulkan
all Im asking is if they merged those 2 or it's still a separate beta
edit: nvm, I found out that they stopped vulkan beta on vainglory a while ago
Hi
Planning to get a 2nd hand Moto Z FORCE. I plan to use Pro-level Video Apps for more advanced controls and so would like to know the Camera2 API support on Z Force.
Can someone please test the camera2 api using BOTH these free apps:
1. Camera2 probe
id=de.weis.camera2probe
2. FiLMiC Pro Evaluator
id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest
Would be quite useful if you can share the screenshots here.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: since Z Force seems to be non-rootable, does it mean that camera2 api support level on the phone cannot be improved?
Or is there any way to enable Camera2 API Without Root on this phone?
