Opensource SOFTWARE OpenGL ES drivers are available

Hi all,
There is a software driver for Windows Mobile devices for OpenGL ES
Its here http://www.vincent3d.com/index.html
The thing is that this is NOT hardware accelerated, but the source code is available.
I downloaded GLBenchmark and without it it would not run, but with the file
libGLES_CM.dll
from the above project it runs (I'm currently running it, so I don't know the results, and even if it can render anything)
Thoughts:
Does this file exist on the other phone that had MSM7200 HW acceleration? Chainfire?
If it does, and the only thing it references is QTV.dll and/or Q3dimension.dll
it would most probably work on our TyTN IIs
IT WOULD NOT HELP WITH VIDEO OR SCROLLING OR DIRECT3D, but it would allow games that use OpenGL ES
If it does not exist, then we have to learn how QTV and Q3dimension work (As corecodec did with QTV) so that we can make the appropriate changes on Vincent's driver.
Please, if you are not a developer with C++ experience DON'T POST SPECULATIONS
Thanks
PD GLBenchmark is running but it does not show anything on the screen.
Well, are there other programmers here?
The problem is we don't have the specs for how to 'talk' to the hardware. If we did, maybe, with a LOT of work, we could make it work. But this software driver won't be any help in it
The HWA OpenGL ES driver from the KS20 depends on a LOT of stuff that is different between the Kaiser and the KS20...

In the thread where you where trying to hack the drivers for the KS20 as I recall, you did not try the OpenGL ES dll, you where trying to use the whole video driver, of course you are the one that know ALL you did
Do you have the KS20 files? I want to have a look.
I know it's a lot of work, but we don't have to figure the hardware, we have to figure out Qualcomms dlls. Are those even in our Kaisers?
I other words, I want to do what corecodec did. And I would think that there have to be more programmers here on xda-developers, not just users or cookers.
I don't have much experience contributing to open source programs, but isn't that the way it is supposed to work, programmers united by some need?
I have not developed for Windows Mobile, but I'm willing to give it a shot if someone here is at least a bit interested
From what I have been reading Qualcomm have 2 dlls that talk to the hardware: QTV.dll and Q3dimension.dll
The problem is that we do NOT have a wrapper that translates DirectDraw Direct3D or OpenGL ES calls into these two dlls
Corecodec is using QTV directly, bypassing this situation. Hopefully they will release all the info they have on QTV. Even if they do SOMEONE has to use that info. I want to at least try.

How to Connect to PC via Wifi and play huge files?

As Note is having Wifi-Direct & Wifi Hotspot can i just use a "USB-Wifi dongle" on my PC and connect to my phone OR will i have to buy a router compulsary? ( I intend to play big HD files more than 4GB and surf internet )
Next, please recommend a gud file converter and splitter.
Example: I wana convert my HD-Video Mpeg file to DivX ,and, Split my 9GB .Mkv movie file to 3GB each without hassle of encoding and recoding.
Thx.
Nobody knows
Enough guides available for reverse tethering
This is called reverse tethering and Although there are many a challenges for this, still its possible. There are indeed enough guides available on the forum on this.
This is greatly depends on what OS (on your PC/Laptop) you are on.
Pl. search "reverse tether"

[Q] Can I set HDMI output for a loop Ubuntu system?

Hi, I've installed Ubuntu in a loop system, and can login in Graphics Mode with an VNC client on my own Android or in other VNC client on my LAN. I've bought the HDMI output adapter and now i want to redirect the Graphics mode of the looped system to the HDMI. Like "Ubuntu for Android" but in my Note. Of course i will haven't the integration of "Ubuntu for Android" but i have some free time to investigate.
Obviusly i can see the VNC sesion throught the HDMI, but what i really want is not need the VNC clients. It's possible?
(sorry for my poor english)
Nope, sorry.
In order to use HDMI directly Ubuntu would need direct access to the hardware and the hardware is obviously already in use by Android. Besides most Android - implementations to do not support outputting different image through HDMI than what it shows on the main screen.
In theory it might be possible to drive HDMI separately from the Android side with a modified VNC-application, but that requires some coding skills.

[Ideas] Software modding Chromecast

Screen Mirroring (ala Miracast/WiDi/Airplay)
MHL support
Device Host (i.e. can plug a HDD and play stuff off it)
DLNA stand-alone device/media player
Screen Mirroring
Miracast (an "open" standard, though you have to pay $199 for the tech specs pdf), WiDi (totally closed, no one has reverse engineered anything yet, probably some hardware DRM requirements), AirPlay
Miracast requires WiFi Direct Connection(P2P) , or optionally TDLS through an AP (haven't seen many people implement this yet)
MHL Support
// looking up the tech specs for MHL, whether it requires any special hardware, or can be emulated in software
Device Host
The SOC supports USB 2.0 Host/OTG. Whether the hardware implemented the Host/OTG pins, and the microUSB port supports it, is another story
DLNA stand-alone device/player
Since the Chromecast can render video, is there a way for the device to advertise itself on UPNP?
I can't post links yet so search for "dial-multiscreen" on google and find the link you posted before in another thread.
You already posted this link in another thread after this one but according to the Application Registry Intel has already reserved namespace ID's and application prefixes for WiDi. Also, the Protocol Specification mentions that it does in fact use UPnP for device discovery but I don't really know if/how that relates to (4).

it maybe using UPnP for device discovery, but it might be broadcasting as "I'm Chromecast" to the chromecast-enabled apps, but not "Hey, I can play these specific media files" like a DLNA player
it looks like Wifi Direct is enabled in the kernel, so good news for Miracast

Android 7 on Nook HD / HDMI Adapter Concern

Help!, I am wanting to install Android 7 on my antiquated Nook HD that is running the original Android 4. My concern is that I am almost sure I loose the ability to use the HDMI adapter to my flat screen TV. This is a must. Is this an actual issue? If so is there a work around?

The last custom ROM that supported the HDMI out port is a version of CM13. It runs fine except for the idiot shutdown issue. If you want the ROM version and/or file, I can supply it.
Id like the Files and/or Tech info for the latest CM13 Builds/Roms for the Nook HD and HD+ (aka humingbird (HD) and ovation (HD+)) that Supported the HDMI adapter too. - direct download links to the actual files is preffered, though if that's tough to come by these days having the tech details of exactly which builds they are so I know which ones to look for and track down would help to.

This post contains working links for the HD+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76449558&postcount=1
I'll upload the HD ROM to my mediafire account tomorrow.
Such a shame this feature fell by the wayside. No fussing about things that Chrome, etc. can't do. You just plug it in and go!
Edit:
Here is the link for the CM13 ROM for the HD: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8r4h4loinwm5zvn/cm_hummingbird-ota-MMB29T.160129.zip/file
You can flash with SD-based TWRP 2.8.x for Hummingbird. If, like me, you find the HDMI output orientation at odds with the tablet display, there is a way to tailor it to your preference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/help/solved-screen-orientation-vs-hdmi-t3701280
Thanks for the Info
Just wanted to say thanks for the info and the links. I just downloaded the files, and will try out the install this weekend. - I'll let you know how it works out for me. - TTigar
Quick Update: Just wanted to let you know the files worked for me, and i could use the HDMI adapter to send the screen of the nook to my TV via the HDMI inputs. The screen was flipped as you mentioned it might be, and the info in the other thread you pointed me to did help to fix that, thought it took a lot more work than expected to do it. (i may add more to this post later to document the lessons learned in the process, to help others.)
Thanks again for the files and the help.
