Hi everyone,

does the pulse have proper opengl es support? I tried some 3d games from the market and they were running very slow. The same games are running smooth on G1 .

Try copying the library from the G1 to turn on hardware acceleration.  It seems to work for alot of phones.

Root your phone, remount the /system filesystem as read/write, then copy the libhgl.so to /system/lib/libhgl.so . Reboot phone.

You can grab it from the ion zip here:

Make sure to get the one thats 'recovery image' otherwise u'll have to unyaffs the system.img

I've got the file. But how do I get the file onto the pulse. I use adb but can't copy the file file from my windows partition to the phone.

If you've rooted it, do you have ConnectDroid on your phone?

You could put the zip file on the SD Card and move it to the right directory using ConnectDroid once you've done "su -"

I did it this way:

-reboot the phone in recovery mode
-"adb shell" in cmd
-"mount  -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system" in the shell
-"exit" the shell
-"adb push f:/libhgl.so /system/lib/libhgl.so" in cmd to transfer the file

That's it. Reboot the phone. The demos I tried (Light Racer 3D and Speed Forge 3D Demo) are running more smooth now.

Why does Huawei not put the right libraries onto the phone so we can play right away with factory defaults turned on. Again: Shame on you, Huawei.

PS: Thanks for the tip kam187.

I give you my thanks as well; the new driver is great!

Or is it a driver...

ooooh that sounds interesting paul, was going to try the current rom but might wait for your next one with these files in there?

it's great to see that you're watching out for all the stuff that is worth to put into the custom roms. i'm looking forward to a donut/eclair build.

Hi, is it possible to give us a n00b guide on installing these files to help speed up the 3d games?

Also any idea if this might impact other things like sat nav software?

Thanks.

I allready have the libhgl.so ! Is there any difference between the one on the pulse and the one from g1?

[HunteronX]

Yes, replace it and restart your phone - you'll see

Check your PM.

thanks mapero....

just wondering, I am sure I rooted the phone, basically I can browse the system folders but says failed to paste over the file already there... the fact that I can browse the folders, does that mean that it is definitely rooted?

Thanks

U did exactly this?

[Aton]

@mapero

That's right. You have to go to recovery mode or else you can't mount the system partition with read/write permission. The file was on my f: drive on the pc. I pushed it with adb from the harddrive to the phone.

[twe]

Ah right thats cleared things up, not done the enable write part..... Will do that tonight...
For anyone looking on info for ADB http://android-dls.c...x.php?title=ADB

Is the SDK backwards compatible or do I need the v1.5 specifically?

And am guessing, as soon as you come out of recovery mode then I woun't be able to write over system files right?

@twe

I took the sdk of this archive android-sdk_r3-windows.zip of the Google Android SDK website http://developer.and.../sdk/index.html
The sdk 1.5 didn't work for me.
After reboot and back in regular mode the phone mounts the system partition itself and you can't remount it for write permission.
