[MOD] OpenGL ES 1.1 for Motorola Cliq

Saulcho009

@SilverL was able to put OpenGL ES 1.1 into the Cliq. I decided to look around the XDA Hero forum (including the link SilverL included) and I found out a way to put OpenGL ES 1.1 into the Cliq.

--I found an increase in fps in Neocore. Before: 23 fps After: 29 fps
--The UI animations (sliding between screen to screen, Sense preview in LP, etc) are smoother and snappier (CM4Cliq seems to have moments of lag which was normal before ES 1.1).
--Angry Birds plays better, still laggy though
--In the Hero forum, its rumored that they get a huge increase in fps (57 fps on Neocore) on Gingerbread 2.3 AOSP

Download:
This is known to work on Cliq, Backflip, and Cliq XT. It works on Blur, AOSP, and CM ROMs.
v2: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2c8sjdz7e1449t (Recommended)
v2.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?91wdi9c8yaxifym

Changes:
v2 - added "gralloc.morrison.so"
v2.1 - added different "libGLES_qcom.so"

Instruction:
Unzip the files
Mount system to r/w
adb push libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl
adb push gralloc.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw
adb push gralloc.morrison.so /system/lib/hw
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7k.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/gralloc.morrison.so
Add "debug.sf.hw=1" and "ro.opengles.version=65537" above "dalvik.vm.stack-trace=..." in build.prop
Reboot and evaluate

To know if it works, check "System Information" in Quadrant and under GPU you should find MSM7230 OpenGL ES 1.1-CM

Future:
--It may not be possible... but if we can find a OpenGL ES 2.0 that works with the Cliq (or Hero) or build one, we could have OpenGL ES 2.0 on our Cliq. Would anyone like to look into this?:
--Dearmasfamily from the HTC Hero is working on increasing performances and giving a more complete OpenGL ES 1.1. So stay tuned!

Nice! Good find bro! I'm going to try this with the aosp froyo build. I'll post my results.

nonextstop

So this could help reduce the lag on Gingerbread?

JassyCliq

Is it possible to do it on phone?? Without computer??

Edit: nvmd I think I over read or something because I saw the instructions again andsaw the adding part to the build.prop

MisterBJM

ok so what is the best way to pull the build.prop and add the line and then replace?

I am totally new to this stuff. I'm on Windows

edit:

nevermind.... I'm not feeling too well. It hit me like a stupid rock.

FistOfRebellion

I use notepad ++

ngiordano

Great information!

missaellpzchvz

@ngiordano u should include this on your cm ports ;)

ngiordano

I'll be working on that when I get home. :-)

sudoadam

Has anyone/can anyone check whether this includes the necessary extensions for the Gingerbread lock animation?

ngiordano

I could try that when I get home

SilverL

@Saulcho009 I've been keeping my eye out for a OpenGL 2.0 for the msm7k hardware and qualcomm hardware. I'm glad it was of some use.

I actually had it sitting on my cliq for a while now. I do random on and off testing. I wish I was nearly as good as the guys who do the hard work.

imley

I tried it on my cliq, which runs the Br3ttu's AOSP Froyo, it works on my phone, and it seems really works smoother...

I downloaded Quadrant, and I found OpenGL ES 1.1-CM under GPU, so, it should mean that it works under AOSP froyo.

iovis80

Searching a bit on the internet I saw that the Qaulcomm gpu that we have on the cliq is the msm7230 which is the same of g2, maybe we can search if there is a custom rom for g2 and export opengl 2 files.

I don't know if what I say it's stupid...I hope not :D

Saulcho009

I heard Adreno 205 = MSM7230, the Nexus One has this GPU too I believe. I'll take a look in the N1 ROMs. I'll take a look into G2 ROMs as well.

Edit: After taking a look at both the Nexus One ROMs and the G2 ROMs, I found they are both the same. I will try using them on the Cliq later today.

bloodyshyt

hmms, it really works!! Gaming is somewhat faster but my market seems to be broken... :( All downloads seem to be paused...

Saulcho009

@bloodyshyt - I had a problem earlier with my Cliq not responding at times. I don't know if this is directly related to OpenGL ES 1.1. Just reboot and you'll be fine. I can download anything from market and I don't seem to have your problem.

bloodyshyt

anyway for those do not know what the instructions are.. here is a more guided one.

-i presume that the android sdk folder is in your c drive and named "AndroidSDK"

-download the files and extract the two items into your tools folder

-download and install notepad++

go to your cmd and type

cd c:\AndroidSDK/tools

adb devices

adb remount

adb push libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl
adb push gralloc.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7k.so

adb pull /system/build.prop /system

now add that line of text

adb push build.prop /system

adb reboot

and done!! This is for those dont really understand some of the terms used.. Cheers!! :)

bloodyshyt

Hmms, looks like wiping data or a factory reset does the trick.

iovis80

ok

this is what I found using quadrant

- sometimes the opegl version appear to be 1.0 and I cannot see the Qualcomm processor

- sometimes the opegl version appear to be 1.1 and It says that the Qualcomm processor is the msm7230

- looking into motorola (http://developer.motorola.com/products/cliq/) it says that the Qualcomm processor is the msm7200a

Hope this is useful

bloodyshyt

got 400 by just oc to 650. pretty awesome, got 21 fps for a 3d benchmark.

Saulcho009

@iovio80 - what do you mean sometimes you 1.0? The MSM7200a is close enough to the MSM7230 I believe. I found these files in the Hero forum of XDA.

iovis80

@Saulcho009 yes, it seems that my phone detects alternativly 1.0 and 1.1 boh....

the other strange thing is that it detects another gpu (msm7230 in stead of msm7200a).

what's the info that you have on quadrant?

Saulcho009

well its suppose to stick with 1.1 and it should say MSM7230.

ngiordano

Are you using cm4cliq? If so try make a copy and name it gralloc.morrison.so and add it to the dir. Something is calling for it when I look in logcat

czarsuperstar

NOTE: IF YOU ARE ADDING THIS TO YOUR BUILD JUST DELETE THE 6 AT THE END AND PUT A 7 TO COMPLETE THE CHAIN OF NUMBERS. SO YOU WONT HAVE TWO SETS.

Saulcho009

@czarsuperstar - Are you talking about ro.opengles.version?
@ngiordano - Sure, I'll reupload with gralloc.morrison.so edit: finished v2

Mark

I remember a while back a thread on M3 where people were trying to get a game called "Pocket Legends" to run but it required OpenGL ES 1.1 and would just load to a black screen. Wonder if this would fix the issue.

shawnsdada

Would this work on the XT and does it have to be 2.2 or could it also work on 2.1?

czarsuperstar

@Saulcho009 yes there is ro.open gl in build prop, but the number ends in a 6 but all you have to add a 7.

Saulcho009

@Mark - just tried it and it still loads to a black screen. I'm getting force close on OpenGL 1.1 demos... Looks like the Cliq is missing some other OpenGL 1.1 stuff...

EDIT: I did some GLBenchmark 1.1 and it seems to work, just the textures are missing and messed up. Scores are better than ones reported before. It seems to do better on CPU... Strange...

Hey are you new here?!
