Hi,
Qualcomm released new drivers for our graphics chipset.
Alexey71 from the galaxy tab pro forum packed them up in a onetime flashable zip.

For me it fixed a problem with green purple embedded videos
and it bumped my antutu score by 2k.
Credits go to Qualcomm and Alexey71
Is there a driver update available for Lollipop based ROMs as well?
Hi, no sry, only for marshmallow.
I didn't write in in the op, it's a beta release. Perhaps they will release new lollipop versions when they are going final.

Anyone saw any improvements after flashing the drivers?

Hi the information is a bit outdated, wondering if since official release nightly the camera works? Thanks
I DONT have the device yet hence why im asking
No it doesn't. The ICS ROMs still don't officially support a camera yet. It is a driver issue. ICS is a completely new architecture and the old drivers won't work. Since drivers are proprietary we have to wait on an Official Samsung ROM. No developer for the 8.9 has really made much headway or even tried to hard recently to get a working camera.
This is not a place holder however there is no actual mod yet for us to test yet this is a work in progress and I Encourage anyone and everyone to help out...
THE CONCEPT:
I asked Gokhan Moral if it was possible to back port the newer Mali drivers CM 10.1 to be used in official Samsung firmware...
Now for this to work we need matching Android library files compiled for the kernel drivers...
His intriguing reply was that the recently released Galaxy Note 8 uses newer Mali drivers (turns out not the same ones as CM10.1 but newer that official S3 firmware) and assuming the Note 8 is running Android 4.1.2 then there is a good chance the lib files WILL be compatible with current S3 firmware...
It turns out the note 8 firmware IS 4.1.2 based and the kernel sources contain the necessary drivers so...
Let's give this a crack eh?
GOALS:
#1 compile Mali drivers from Note 8 sources into existing Siyah sources thus creating a working kernel.
#2 obtain and identify necessary matching lib files from Note 8 firmware.
#3 transplant these libs into an S3 custom ROM and see if they work
#4 create and release a CWM zip which will flash both the custom kernel and lib files which can be used to mod any existing 4.1.2 Samsung firmware.
#5 crack a beer any bask in the satisfaction of a job well done...
PROGRESS:
#1 Budding developer and valued contributor to this forum psndna88 is already merging the necessary code with the latest Siyah sources. A test kernel should be conceived soon...
If anyone else wants to give this a go with other sources please do
#2 A request was made on the Note 8 forum and I have the necessary lib files ready to be back ported once the test kernel is ready...
If anyone has anything useful to contribute please PM me and follow this thread so once something is ready to be tested you can wet your appetite.

Well probably not a great deal in general however for this project we are interested in using the newer GPU drivers which are in the note8 firmware and apparently also the leaked 4.2.1 S3 firmware also.
The kernel side of things need to match the ROM lib files which are complied by Samsung using their closed xynyos sources.
Since the note 8 firmware uses the same android version as ours then HOPEFULLY we can use the kernel sources and transplant the lib files from the note 8 ROM and get it all working smoothly...
The question assuming this project succeeds is: Are the new Mali drivers noticeably better?

They give a documented 15-20% performance boost in the Epic Citadel benchmark.

but currently following things may be broken:

Can codeworkx port those drivers to cm? (I mean source available, binaries)

the ones we are trying to port are older than current CM 4.2.2 mali drivers, but newer than current stock sammy 4.1.2 drivers
attached is a diff file for changes in stock mali kernel drivers and siyah kernel mali driver for stock rom
and diff for lib files between N8000 and I9300 stock roms
i havent fully applied all changes in mali driver taken from N8000 inserted in siyah kernel source before compiling
Good idea guys.. I have a note 10.1 the n8013 model if it helps

Hello,
Yank555 did something similar with his kernel ( he used the newer Kernel Sources from a Galaxy Tab and built a Galaxy S3 Kernel ), maybe you could send him a PM and ask for help ?
Best regards,
George
P.S: I could help you with the flashable packages and also do some testing if necessary.
OK it looks like the N8000 uses a very similar version of the Mali drivers so there might not be much to gain from this project

Not sure if any developers here owns a Galaxy S6. If anyone able to port Ubuntu Touch latest to Galaxy S6 would be very appreciated.
I believe that roms of anything that isn't android will not work due to the Exynos processors not having their kernel sources released.

Excuse my ignorance as I don't have any development experience more than being a script kiddy, but was not the old Ubuntu Touch roms just sampling from CM11 sources for most of the drivers and kernel stuff?
As I say, I don't really know anything but I thought that was how it went. I don't care if there is an S6 ROM but I just want to see any port of Ubuntu touch on any device I have.
Edit: Actually it looks like it was CM10.1 for the old ones from like 2013.
Later they moved to CM11, and they may use 12 now, I'm not sure.
I have been searching for over a week trying to figure how what version of Xposed if any will work on the AT&T Galaxy S5 Active, I have yet too find the correct info. Can someone please verify that Xposed works on the g870a model and what version framework is needed, the newest stable version of course.
I am on lollipop with the OF3 deodexed root using flashfire. I haven't installed safestrap yet but have all the correct info to do so once I figure out if Xposed will work or not.
Also I heard that only certain modules work so maybe a list of do's and don't if not too much trouble. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.
I believe I found the correct thread for installing Xposed, I was looking at the official framework the entire time. Can someone please confirm if this works with the g870a model?

Here are the specs for the chip set of my Galaxy S5 Active (g870a).

I'm still not certain which file I need, I'm not sure if I need the Krait version or the Snapdragon version of framework? I have reason to believe it's one of these two, just need someone to confirm please before I install. I would like the newest stable version if at all possible.

latest Adreno drivers for Android 6.0+
The driver is not stable, crashes may occur in some custom ROM. needs more testing.
Original: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../drivers-qualcomm-adreno-330-drivers-t3794305
The latest driver in custom ROMs causes system reboot after playing any type of video. I removed the files that caused the problem. It seems to be all right.
This is the latest adreno 330 Drivers
Work only in 6.0+ custom roms
Don't try in official Rom or custom 5.0 or 5.1 roms It Will Brick Your Device
Can increase the benchmark score, improves the fluidity of the animations,*3D*performance. Say what else has improved
Make backup for your system partition so you can get safe.
I ported this drivers from Qualcomm latest adreno drivers June/2016 and may/2016.

I do not think it will work. But I have not tested.
I can't download Version 1.3, mega says "the provided key is invalid"

New versions:
The two new versions have similar performance, I changed some files in an attempt to improve stability. In case of crash try a different version. thank you all.

I think it does not work on TW Rom, nor roms ports. In my tests with S4 it worked fine on Lineage roms, cm.
Until tomorrow I upload a file to be tested in TW rom. I can not guarantee.
