Guest anything-but Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 At least it`s down in print now,bit of good news at least. :)
Guest FrankieADZ Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 i wonder if it will or not....dont really get what OpenGL is tho tbh.
Guest andy.hyde4 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 This is always a good thing to know. But it does tell us it will be a little while before we get official. So good news and bad news
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) i wonder if it will or not....dont really get what OpenGL is tho tbh. I think of it like "Android" for your graphics hardware. Before Windows, Android etc, each phone had its own operating system, but having a common set of rules allows programers to make different UI's/apps etc without having to design a whole new operating system for your phone. Same thing with OpenGL, it is a program with a set of definitions for 2d/3d rendering allowing programmers to take advantage of the graphics hardware on your device. Edited July 19, 2012 by Rico_89
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I think Huawei are confused between OpenGL rendering enablement in ICS and OpenGL drivers within the adreno libs. ALL adreno libs have OpenGL drivers in them. I think that is what they are referring to.
Guest Colin Whiteside Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 More specifically in this case the update still supports OpenGL, but not in hardware. It's about providing the version of Android in the update with the drivers, so that rather than doing OpenGL instructions in software (using the CPU, which will be slow) the OS can feed them to the Qualcomm GPU, which can execute them on specially-designed hardware (much faster).

ALL adreno libs have OpenGL drivers in them. I think that is what they are referring to. Yeah, anything-but asked the same thing on the Vodafone blog and I tried to add a corrected query, but of course the Vodafone mod didn't post it because lack of 2D acceleration makes them look bad. :rolleyes: Guys, if we're going to ask these questions of vendors, we need to actually ask the right questions.
Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 They have stated it will have OpenGL support and have dodged every single question which specifically asks will it have OpenGL 2.0 hardware accelerated UI. Vodafone also dodge the question although they already have the ics update and are testing it. Keep asking and we may get it implemented. The fact that they refer to us getting a demo means bits will be missing and I think UI acceleration will be one of them. Can someone ask the specific question I posted above on the Vodafone site please.
Guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) If we are getting a demo as our uk ics release, we have been mislead. Most of us brought the g300 based on the ics update promised, I wonder how many would of got one if it was known it would not be fully working ics ? Obviously a fully working ICS has opengl, would it be ok if they released a build with only 3G and no wifi working ? Edited July 19, 2012 by Guest
Guest FlatPackPete Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 So, apart from the UI and apps being laggy, how can we categorically tell if OpenGL has been used? I ask as Z-Device Test (my phone info app of choice) shows a whole bunch of OpenGL extensions under the Android OS category on my G300 running B927, so if that is not right what do I need to do?
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 If /system/lib/libhwui.so exists then OpenGL rendering is being used.
Guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) If /system/lib/libhwui.so exists then OpenGL rendering is being used. Like this ? So are you saying we have opengl rendering then, as some are saying we do not ? Or am I confusing things lol Edited July 19, 2012 by Guest
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Yes running B927 I'm consulting with Daz ATM.
Guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I'm consulting with Daz ATM. Does that mean good news then ?
Guest tilal6991 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Not sure. We're looking into it. Right now we don't know either way.
Guest Dazzozo Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 OpenGL is still dead with the presence of libhwui. It's possible that Huawei intended to enable OpenGL acceleration, it didn't work for some reason, they assumed it was and they didn't notice.
Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 That file is in b926 also. Wondering is swapping that file from a similar spec huawei will work
Guest fr0do Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) So do you guys think that you could get the video hw acceleration working/ are you gonna try? Edited July 19, 2012 by fr0do
Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Remember this post from ages ago. How do these results compare to similar phones. Is this the testing of the openGL? http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?benchmark=glpro21&D=Huawei+U8815&testgroup=system
Guest bumps Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 new builds added to the list also U8815V100R001C00B863SP01

Is this the testing of the openGL? http://www.glbenchma...estgroup=system The figures provided are for 3D rendering performance, so they won't tell you anything about software vs hardware performance for 2D UI rendering operations. Presumably, the G300 performs on par with 2nd gen smartphones using the Snapdragon / Adreno 200 combination when it comes to 3D performance.
Guest Chris Banks Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Does anyone think the lack of OpenGL a reason not to 'upgrade' to the G300, from the blade? Edited July 20, 2012 by Chris Banks
Guest andy.hyde4 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Nope this without openGL is better than a blade with it.
