This is just going to be a thread about Chainfire 3D.
I haven't seen a thread on this yet nor have i actually tried it on the device. So if someone can confirm it works we can start letting each other know the best settings and what not.
Nevermind everyone don't think it will work since it did not support honeycomb most likely wont support ICS
well get installing on your prime then & let us know

this is not going to work actually no support for ICS so maybe in the future. Should have read the chainfire thread before posting this one!
I installed it and all the plugins, although I can't tell if it's working or not
Wait you were able to install everything without bootlooping?
Tegra3 doesn't need it. Chainfire for lowerend devices really. Or devices that want to run tegra2 games that don't have the chip.

I'm wondering what does enable/disable 3D scaling in Vipercontrol mod does
If its off or on by default on the Prime.
Maybe control/throttle the working frequency of the GPU?
I'm just guessing here...
Oh and one thing I would be interested in, is to activate 16xMSAA with my Prime in Chainfire3D ... in my SGS2 it makes a world of difference, quality wise!!!!
EDIT
Tried it, installed fine beta EGL driver, program ran but it says that our chip doesnt support 16xMSAA (option greyed out)... so for now it turned out to be useless to my needs, so uninstalled it.
Hope this info helps!

I was wondering how to make angry birds work on the android froyo FRX06 on TP2, as in I couldn't install it from the marketplace, is there any other way?
There is a version in a tiad thread I think on ppcgeeks that worked pk on our phones. It was modded somehow. Search over there and you should be able to find it. I have not tested it on the current builds however.

It wasn't modded, it was just the 'Lite' version.
If you find a 'Lite' version of the APK, use it.
I still don't understand the fascination with this game... I played the 'Rio' version, it's really quite boring...
I downloaded the standard version from the marketplace and it worked fine? :|
Really? The standard version worked fine? What version of Android/kernel are you running?

Perhaps your definition of 'worked fine' and everyone elses is different - was it laggy? Did you see a severe drop in FPS? AFAIK this is due to the original version being openGLES2.0, which our devices do not support...

Eh, I prefer games like Labyrinth... But I only play it like once a month. Not a big gamer on the phone, that's what my PS3 is for . (I do realize you can't exactly play a PS3 in an elevator, but hey.)
I only tried to launch angry birds (rio I think?) once, never actually got around to playing it. Lotsalag on some pre-play cutscenes so I moved on.

I'm picturing a ghostbuster's style backpack and either a helmet with a visor screen or, for the extreme sports types, a mount for a 40" LCD (for splitscreen multi, of course) suspended forward.

Working fine, as in it was playable, the cut-scenes were slow but that didn't bother me. Apart from that it was okay.
Certainly wasn't a "30fps" experience, but good enough for me.
I was under the impression our devices did support OGLES2.0? No driver support (yet)?

The GPU was designed back when GLES 1.0 was new. It handles GLES 1.1 with an update, that's as much as it can do in hardware.

Indeed as highlandsun states - we do not have the hardware support for 2.0.
Ahh bummer. Oh well, the compromise we make with older hardware. I'm not yet ready to upgrade, and I enjoy the tinkering side of things anyway!
Does anyone know if any similar devices like the notion ink adam are capabile of dual booting? It would solve all sorts of problems. Because instead of having to pick a rom and do with out dual core support (froyo) or without hardware acceleration (honeycomb and gingerbread) we could conviently switch. In a perfect world I suppose. I'd pay to have someone figure it out.

Use at your own risk. Bootmanager has been know to brick some gTablets. I personally wouldn't try it.

Agree. My understanding and experience was that it just doesn't handle HC ROMS well.
sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but I am curious if anyone has tried bootmanager recently? Dual boot would be nice, but don't want to try if it is still bricking gtabs...
if you want a tablet that dual boots...get a nook color, it's fun and easy and thanks to the people here at XDA it's able to dual or even triple boot.

they have hacked the hell out of that thing, but I already have a gtab. It looks like the boot manager app has a lot fail safes in it now, in which I think it would be pretty hard to brick. I might give it a go...

Thanks for the post, but this isn't talking about the boot manager application. I just set it up on my Rezound, and it works great. It is fast and easy to switch between ROMs. I am going to give it a go on the gtab, and will report back if anyone is interested.

It was meant as an FYI, given that a) aabbondanza, above, has reported that boot manager can brick the gTablet and b) the VS gTablet is not an officially supported device.
BTW, how did the boot manager experiment go?

Getting closer...
Looks okay , But was hoping for more a Honeycomb GUI , as ive just got rid of a 2.3 Tablet to get the HP touch pad to flash to 3.0 but will 3.0 ever happen for the Touch pad ?
The general consensus seems to be that HC will not appear on the TP; as the source code was never released by Google.
What is more likely to happen is that 2.3.5 will be on the initial CM release for the Pad; with ICS being the next logical step, once it's released.
I may be wrong,
But I believe that is the long and short of it.
Hope this helps.
ugh! I would settle for 1.6 just so it is not the ugly webOS cripple.
I actually kind of like WebOS.
The not-having-multiple-screens-to-swipe-left-or-right thing takese a bit of getting used to (I'm not sued to it yet).
But I do like bouncing apps away, to close them.
That being said,
I definitely favor Android over all other O/S.

I am really hoping this progresses fast and works well. I actually enjoy webOS card system but the lack of apps is disappointing. I would much rather be able to run android on a card.
Either way though, I plan on installing android whether it's dual boot or via card.

I installed it and it works fine (for what works at least). Anyone know how to actually install another app into it? I downloaded an APK and put it in the apks folder (in webOS) but I don't know where to look for it within chroid. Is this even possible? The guide says you can do it.

if you want to O/C again, you have to doctor 3.0.2 back on, then redo the preware etc.
as for the apps, put them in that folder and they will auto install, thats what i did, and got titanium installed (even tho its useless/keeps crashing, i had it available)
3.0.3

When you install chroid, don't go into govnah while its installed, when you uninstall chroid, you should be fine and not have to worry. That way you wont have to doctor all the time

You will need CWM recovery, i dont think root is necessary. and no i dont play games much on my phone so i didnt use it, others use it, you can check their reviews in the posts.
If you dont have CWM and your bootloader hasnt been unlocked, you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32712631
after installing CWM, just download the mod, and follow the instructions provided by the dev.
I am wondering if anyone has tried the Reicast DC Emu and has a problem with the phone just soft rebooting randomly.
It runs amazingly and my phone has no issues with any benchmark, highend game or emu so I am guessing is a matter of the alpha status and maybe not fully compatible with the adreno 800 yet but want to see what others are getting.
UPDATE 02/04/2014
Attached one APK that did not reboot my phone when playing Skies of Arcadia like all others have been doing.

I can't get it to run. I did everything in the folders and it still tells me the files are missing
In the root folder create a dc folder then inside dc create a data folder.
Also make sure the two files you are adding there are the correct name as per the steps showing on their website or even the Google play link.
You may have to rename the if needed.
Phone rebooting is definitely a driver and security issue, and not a problem on the application. I don't have a snapdragon 800 device (getting new android devices is a really expensive thing), but i'll do some testing on adreno 203 that I do have. Perhaps I can fix the issue, but the blame is on the drivers
Well, knowing where the issue is, for sure beyond my knowledge but as long as I get a fix, I will be one happy man! :highfive:

Somewhat functional, decent for alpha release.
I have managed to get Sonic Adventure 2 working on the EU Flash but Daytona, South Park Chef's Luv Shack & Super Runabout- San Francisco Edition have caused hard & soft resets. At first I thought it was due to incorrect region flash files but tested them all on each game to no avail.
Still, amazing that this emu is finally on the march forward.

Yup i googled the bios. And it keeps telling me to the file in its respectable folder. I also checked that is was named accordingly
I have managed to get the emulator running, but most roms don't work / have serious graphical glitches.
