WM7 for 8525

First off let me thank the community for such great ROMs. This is amazing.
I'm just wondering aloud - can we put wm7 on the 8525's? If so have any being released already?
thanks in advance,
Fu

WM6.5 is not even officially released yet and you ask for WM7?
I highly doubt that WM7 will run on the Hermes once it's released...

I don't think so. Read this:

Just compare the requirements with the Hermes specifications:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=506&c=htc_tytn_p4500_htc_hermes_200

Thanks for all the response guys, I had the nagging feeling that it wont be possible. But, wanted to confirm from the experts
Guess, its time to upgrade!!!!

till new devices ready to WM7 omes out... but jejejeje next year... HTC Leo MEGA and another will be ready to use In wm6.5.1 even tho not for WM7.

Vulkan API (DirectX 12 killer) soon supported on Zenfone 2 ?

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:

Vulkan API for Htc 10

Any chance of Vulkan API on our Beloved 10?

Yey, Android N give us Vulkan.

Does the Moto Z Play have full Vulkan support?

I understand it does, and some info apps shows report the presence of Vulkan libs. But I tried the last PPSSPP and I cannot activated its new Vulkan backend.

I believe it does have full support. On version 1.5.4 of ppsspp you can enable the vulkan backend just fine. I just did it on my moto . give it a try

Tried some benchmarks last night, vulkan works but is a lot slower than the same benchmark in opengl 3.

Vulkan support in Z2 plus custom ROMs

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
