i installed the app and got superuser permissions, and tried some of the settings and plug-ins. some games will look weird if you check any of the settings, especially angry birds. but certain settings will work for games that were previously unplayable. you can buy the full version of the app so you can save settings per game, or manually change settings (or return to default settings for angry birds to be playable) before you start the game with the free version. many thanks to chainfire for this revolutionary app. i suggest you buy the full version to fully use the app's potential. happy gaming!
😃
edit: settings that will work will be different depending on the game. so i will post here in the OP games that work with the cf3d drivers and what settings to use. WORKS EVEN ON NON-OCED KERNELS!!!
Paper War (for 2 players) - reduce texture size ON (without drivers, white/blank menu; with drivers and settings, full menu and full fps), tested by me, OPTIONAL: reduce texture quality ON
Paradise Island - no settings needed, just install cf3d driver (without drivers, white texture; with drivers, full texture), tested by Jay
FIFA 2010 - no settings needed, just install cf3d driver and Power VX or Qualcomm plugin (see link below); (without drivers the soccer field is white texture; with power VX or qualcomm plug-in, FULL TEXTURES!), tested by me and 邪剑圣, OPTIONAL: reduce texture quality ON
Optimised Gangstar1 for LG optimus (320x480) - reduce texture size ON, reduce texture quality ON, Qualcomm plugin (see link below), fully playable, tested by Kosmaks
Chess: Battle of the Elements - reduce texture size ON reduce texture quality ON, tested by ronchang
description of the app [root] Chainfire3D Pro - Android app on AppBrain
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF may also be required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( [Android 2.1+][19.05.2011][v1.2] Chainfire3D [ROOT][OpenGL ES 2.0+] - xda-developers )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2 (2.3.3 / NAND)
- Samsung Galaxy S (2.3.3)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" (2.3.3)
- Samsung Galaxy S II (2.3.3)
- Motorola Atrix 4G (2.2.1)
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X (2.3.4)
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!
