hi,
I found out that this rom CM9 ALPHA4 based port for Legend [APR11] is NOT using hardware acceleration after browsing to the folder in which the EGL drivers are, these date from 2008...
I than went to the qualcomm site logged in and saw that the newer drivers for ICS they released are dated 2012! and are very much different from the ones that are installed currently.
Someone should contact zeubea about this!
And make this rom rock!

Are you sure that it is not using HWA ?
Since its 3.0 version, zeubea claims HWA is working for nearly every apps (and users agreed).
In one of the many pages, I saw that he is aware of the new drivers, and actually, how could HWA works if it wasn't with those ?
There was no HWA before ICS, was it ?
Maybe the differences between the drivers you see and the ones available at Qualcomm are because of the architecture, Legend is an ARMv6 device.
maybe

i,ll first have to try something to make absolutly sure, i will post my findings
Your kidding me right? Have you used ANY of the builds starting from the first alphas released? Hw acceleration is most defiantly working, before hw acceleration GUI was laggy, many HQ games didn't work at all, angry birds and the like, bench mark apps 2d frame rate was only about 10-14 fps and no 3D support at all. After hw implemented all the HQ games I've tried work better than any rom I've used, 2D frame rate is hitting 50+ fps 3D is around 18 fps and IMHO this is the fastest smoothest rom available I have flashed all of them on xda. If hw acceleration wasn't implemented how can you explain how good it is?

You sure you are looking at the correct folder? Ive checked /system/etc/firmware, /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/, all required driver last modified in 2012.
BTW, have you try this rom? Flash Alpha 1.0, play around couple hours, and then, try flashing Alpha4. You'll surely see lot of improvement in graphic.
A strange thing about hwa is that if you compare tests with Antutu or Quadrant on cm7.1 and CM9, you notice that the 2d score of cm7.1 is twice that of cm9 (at least on my Legend).
zeubea cm9 is smooth and in a post he said, if I remeber well, that on hwa debug info are traced, maybe this Rom experience could be also better when debug info will be no more needed

A ROM that has all the drivers for HW accelaration, etc. I don't care if it is a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. (BL 1.2)
I have tried all the HC ROMS so far and while the devs are doing such a bang up job with the little resources available to them, HC ROMS still have issues i.e. playing videos from browsers, etc.
I am currently running the GTabcomb 3.3 and it is by far the best HC ROM I have tried but I simply cannot play ANY videos on browsers.
Thanks.

I can only recommend CyanogenMOD 7.0.3 Stable. Everything works..
I'm not sure if there is a 1.2BL Stable version floating around but I think there may be a nightlies thread in the Developers section.
The Current CM7 Stable does require a 1.1BL though.
Goodluck!

Version 6 of CalkClem Combo is on 1.2 and it's amazing. Overclocked to 1.5ghz and rock solid. It's been my daily driver for months now with no issues.

Beasty's is by far the best. Fastest rom out of the 5+ roms I've tried. Everything works except for popcap games
Thanks guys. Will be trying all those ROMS shortly.
Sorry to threadjack, but how would you compare gtabcomb to illuminate? Illuminate is claiming hw accelleration.
try using Opera as your browser to view videos. I am using the same rom (GTab comb 3.3)

illuminate -> by default: the youtube is a hit or miss. Some are working, some are not.
the flashback Rom -> so far youtube is working but no HW Acceleration. and the original angrybird is not playable. (i still cant catapult the bird eventhough the game can be started). angrybird rio is playable though.
So hopefully the next update of illuminate will fix the flash problem since the last few post from lbs seems mentioning about it *cross finger*
Quick comments: Whether its hw acceleration or not, but the current illumuniate rom is not as fast as the original Honeycomb tablet e.g. xoom, samsung.
Some games that works fine in CM7 (Like Fruit Ninja)no longer works on CM9,can anyone tell my why?

CM9 is still under developement...there are lots of bugs to be removed...wait for the stable version as paul is working on this...
Cm9 will require new adreno 200 libs for proper graphics. As there no new adreno 200 libs for our chipset available 3D games. Will lag or wont work...wait for future releases.
As this phone has a working ICS port you should know that Qualcomm recently released Adreno 2xx drivers for Ice Cream Sandwich. But unfortunately the drivers released were compiled only for armv7 not armv6.
So all armv6 devices with ICS ported are having an unofficial ICS port with a hack to provide hardware acceleration.
This means our phones will never have 100% hardware acceleration in ICS and also not get OFFICIAL CM9 support as they dont allow use of any hacks or patches in their ROMS.
The ICS port on OptimusP500(which i use) is almost bugfree and we were left from getting the official support from cm9 due to this very reason.
sweetnsour has made this groubal, a petition for the Qualcomm guys to look into and thus compile the drivers from ARMv6
THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHANCE TO BREATH NEW LIFE INTO OUR ONCE AWESOME DEVICES.
I hope you guys will sign this groubal showing your support. Your one signature will definitely help us to show Qualcomm that there are many many users still using Armv6 devices..

Check this out, today March 29th Qualcomm has released adreno graphics optimization for Armv6 devices, which takes us closer on achieving a better ICS experienced. This makes may htc legend very happy
i thought there are some libs work on x8 and optimus one.. new adreno libs? so those arent working then? just placebo?
Since the other Adreno 220 topic was also made here, this should work perfectly on the Amaze devices and fix people's skype green problem. (worked on multiple devices, sensation, vivid, amaze)
These EGL files came from the One Series with Adreno graphics.
I made a thread on Sensation forums which explains everything.
You can find it here
Known fixes so far; Skype, Modern Combat 3 and increase of global performance in games/browser (flash)
In NenaMark2 and also games you can see fps increase.
You can check which GL version you have with "OpenGLES Extension viewer" and if its 2131267 you can try flash the newer from attachments
Everything explained in the other post. .
PS > if you benchmark, benchmark with GL wise application eg. NenaMark2 or GLBenchmark since those files affect GL performance.
also they are not kernel related, you can flash kernels whatever you want, they should not heat up your phone more then it already does heat up and not decrease battery life more then it normally does.
wipe cache+dalvik cache to be sure all apps work.
As you expect, flash at your own risk (just do a backup, or have the files from the other topic (also have them in attachments (Adreno_ICS_Update = current version as your rom should use))
You can always flash your own rom again over it and it replaces the EGL files (if you don't like them)
Any questions just ask.
*read here that 2184622 works on Amaze, note the instagram problem he talking is about is fixed*
These work. Good.
I took 3 tests with nenamark before hand and got around 41-ish fps.
Took 3 more tests with these drivers and I'm getting a constant 50fps+
Sorry if this is a dumb question which one should I flash

so if you want to test the new one, go for 2184622 one!

if you want yo go back

Here's a before and after. Before pic was using the ICS driver from this thread.
EDIT: just realized that my old driver is the same version as this new one. Maybe it was cooked in with ARHD 2.2.1.
This fixed Google Chrome Beta I think, no rendering artifacts so far!
Edit: nvm, still glitches sometimes
Just flashed this, ran some tests with nenamark prior to flashing and was getting around 30 fps, after it was 50+ every time! Thanks!

If it was the same, I don't think we would have seen performance increases.

This version looks to already be included with the latest TMO ICS leak.

I just reverted back to my stock nandroid after applying the 213 Adreno drivers, and the version it reverted to was 2184622, so I'm not sure how these are newer. Is there someplace else we should be looking to check which is newer?

then u downloaded the wrong one, since this is about the 218version which came from the One series.
Adreno_Update.zip (stock) is 213 for people who use 213, 218 is the newer one yes
Thank you for contributing to the community bduvel. It is always nicer to have options and people always looking out for the next best tweak, hack, driver, etc.. for our devices and willing to share.
This is what I enjoy most about our XDA Community,
I have been running the 218 drivers you have pulled from the OneS for a couple of days now and my perception is this driver is not as smooth as I have experienced with the Official QComm released drivers.
I did not run benchmarks as soon as I flashed so as not to prejudice my experience.
After a couple of days I have run the Quadrant Benchmark and now have more objective results to share with the community.
AFTER "OneS Adreno Driver (218)" Screenshot 2D Rendering CHECKED.
AFTER "QComm Release Adreno ICS Update (213)" Screenshot 2D Rendering CHECKED.
Regardless of the driver 2D scores are @ 1000
With 218 my 3d Benchmarking Score is 1258
Using the QComm 213 Adreno Driver my 3D Benchmarking Score is 2235
I also noticed a decrease in my NenaMark 2 FPS rate when using the 218 OneS driver.
This seems to have confirmed my subjective results that the 218 driver for some reason did not perform as well on the HTC Amaze.
Thank you,
gjcamp
So i have the ota update ics tmobile rolled out for the amaze and i checked my driver version and it says i have the 218 one? Is this the same as the 218 one you have posted here from the one s??
Hello,
I just got myself an Atrix 4G and i'm looking at the roms right now. I'm interrested in CM10... seems to not have many bugs, but i wonder: what is the performance in games? I see it have no HW aceleration, so i wonder if it matters in the final product?
Anyone using it could let me know? Thanks in advanced
Im not much a gamer, but I have tested Angry Birds (just for test) and it has some lags.
But remember that CM10 is in alpha stage, and soon (I hope) we're getting nvidia/motorola drivers.

Huummm... guess i will wait untill Moto release the oficial ICS then, so drivers community will have access to the drivers and stuffs i guess. Thanks
great, that's response was useful for me too.
I'm running Paranoid Android 1.9.5b (based on jokersax's CM10 build) and games typically work fine. On rare occasions I have to turn the screen off and back on to fix multitouch issues but I'm pretty sure it's fixed now. There doesn't seem to be any issue with jitter or lag in games though.
