GLTools ~ Chainfire3D replacement graphics optimizer for Android

Finally, there is a replacement for great Android graphics optimizer application Chainfire3D – GLTools. I used to play Nvidia Tegra games with Chainfire3D hack. However, it is not supporting newer Android version years ago. Thanks to n0n3m4, we can enjoy such features once more. Yup, GLTools is a custom OpenGL driver. It will let you change resolution and rendering bit rate in any games, GPU name so that you can enjoy enhanced graphics on a low-end GPU device. Or enhance games graphics quality by enable MSAA or CSAA mode. There is a nice onscreen FPS counter to let you benchmark games performance after tweaked too. Isn’t that great?

Nexus 7 (2013) JSS15Q OTA System Update

Yeah… I received Google Nexus 7 (2013) JSS15Q OTA System Update this morning. Google is fast on pushing this update to fix multi-touch and GPS issues. And might fix random reboot issue too. Luckily, my new Nexus 7 does not have these issues. So can’t tell it really fix or not. Based on users’ feedback on Internet, most GPS issue was fixed. But some still facing multi-touch issue on JSS15Q build. Some got fixed though. For those still have issue, guess that they need to get their Nexus 7 hardware replace…

Love to use clean and fast ROM like CM or AOSP? You can try out ParanoidAndroid ROM 3 on your Samsung Galaxy S3. And enjoy pure Google experience like Nexus 4 but with lot of cool features like PIE and Hybrid Mode. What is PIE? Oh, it is the replacement for the stock on-screen navigation buttons. It is an extra for Galaxy S3 which has hardware buttons. No worry, you can turn off it if not needed. Phone UI, Phablet UI and Tablet UI, which one do you prefer? Yes, this is part of Hybrid Mode feature. Pick the layout that matches your usage. By the way, do try out the latest HALO – Multi-tasking notification ticker too.

Galaxy S4 I9500 supports ExtSd2InternalSd

Finally, Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 supports ExtSd2InternalSd. Yes, you can swap Galaxy S4 internal and external storage now. Personally, I don’t prefer this method because internal NAND memory speed is a lot faster than external SD card. See this article for more info – Galaxy S4 storage speed ~ internal NAND vs external SD card. Don’t swap the whole thing, just move Galaxy S4 games data to external SD card will do. This will not slow down the whole system but just slow during game loading, right?
