GL4ES Beta testing for termux about ubuntu-on-android

[abhikatta]

Yes!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[Heasterian]

If you have Adreno GPU with KGSL support you don't need GL4ES, you can use Turnip driver with Zink to have hardware acceleration and support of OpenGL 3.0.

[Heasterian]

If you have phone with Adreno GPU supporting KGSL, you can get GPU acceleration by compiling mesa with those two patches I mentioned. Stablest working version (with a bit more changes as It's older) you can find in git of Grima04 https://github.com/Grima04/mesa-turnip-kgsl Instalation guide is in README. You can find mainline Mesa patched in my git https://github.com/Heasterian/mesa/

You need to export or add to bash.rc GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink and if it will try to use lavapipe instead of Turnip, set VK_ICD_FILES to idc of freedreno/turnip (I think it's stored in /usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d/ directory by default).

[Heasterian]

To compile it in proot, you need to add #define __user at the beginning of src/freedreno/vulkan/tu_kgsl.c

Also patch from the end of this issue increases compatibility https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/4907

• Youtube video on benchmarking Open-GL panforst with glmark2 on termux/proot ubuntu-on-android
  

[Heasterian]

@SaicharanKandukuri It's benchmark of llvmpipe as you can see in terminal at this moment https://youtu.be/aJhV7K80OvQ?t=44

Afaik, you can't load hardware OpenGL driver, that's why I'm using one for Vulkan that can be loaded in userspace and Zink using it.

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Before I check zink out and dig into this zink driver
will this work in Mali too cause you mentioned only andreno in your comments

[Heasterian]

Zink is just using Vulkan driver to render OpenGL. Android allows to load Vulkan driver in userspace that's why it can work in proot/chroot. For Mali you probably need to wait for further developement of Vulkan driver.

[SaicharanKandukuri]

ya that's why I chose penforst and I don't know much about Zink. By the way can you can you join our discord and share you benchmark score!

Will this work on opengl3.2

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Nope GL4ES is a open GL 2.1

GL4ES is a OpenGL 2.1/1.5 to GL ES 2.0/1.1 translation library, with support for Pandora, ODroid, OrangePI, CHIP, Raspberry PI, Android, Emscripten and AmigaOS4

Is there any way in which I could get some more FPS without rooting (I mean a faster chroot
🙂) Am a noob so 🙂

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Create another issue for that!

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Can you share logs @Randomae

[TOXIC-KID]

Um it just dropped at ton of cannot open:function not implemented

I got a bit of socket ignored error but its working but mine is opengl3.2 so can't test it

[TOXIC-KID]

The termux scrollback cloudnt store most of it i think

I think if I minize the u could get more

send a screenshot
