Hi,
I wanted to acquire a relatively "cheap" Qualcomm phone with ES3.1+AEP extensions that pointed me to a Adreno 4xx HW and currently the least expensive is Adreno 405 on Snapdragon 615..
Early such phones came with Android 4.4 so understandably did have only ES 3.0 drivers..
but now seeing on GFXBENCH site all Adreno 405 devices with Android 5.0 come also with only ES 3.0 drivers versus the new Snapdragon 810 devices..
even a Snapdragon 615 MDP with android 5.0 has only es 3.0 drivers so question is if adreno 405 (which on Qualcomm site is said to support Open GL ES 1.x, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1*, TS & GS; Open CL 1.2full; ) will ever come with ES 3.1 drivers..
Or there is any way to (perhaps rooting the device) use drivers from dumps of Adreno 430 devices like LG FLex 2 or HTC M9?
Thanks..
any update on this question and can we expect getting Android 5.1 update on snapdragon 615 devices will bring ES3.1 functionality?
thanks..
Unfortunately its up to the individual OEMs to provide updates (e.g. Android 5.1) for their devices which would include support of ES 3.1 functionality.
pls name that Snapdragon 616 (msm8916) device which is having official 8.00
