Crashing on GS4 (SGH-I337) when using Open GL

[eggyman100]

Every time I try to load a game using OpenGL as the renderer the app crashes within a few seconds of not rendering anything, whereas the software renderer works just fine (albeit at 0-1FPS), running on android 4.4.2 unrooted, what am I doing wrong?

Tried a few, still crashes.

I was getting these crashes too with most recent builds on my Note 3.

These crashes only seemed to happen on 4.3 and lower firmware as once I upgraded to 4.4.2 every build worked without crashing.

The Galaxy S4 is known to have issues with the GLES 3.0 drivers for some reason and you may have to enter the terminal commands required to patch it.

Sorry for the stupid question. How do I enter those commands? Which program?

you need the terminal emulator from the play store(it's like the terminal on Ubuntu and anything related to Linux but on android) and you need root to be able to run the commands as root(su) or they won't work

Thanks for the response. That's what I did before I asked and it wouldn't recognize the commands. I.am.rooted on 4.4. I'll give it anither try. Appreciate the help!
