Has anyone seen v7x or higher drivers yet? It's been 3-4 months since the v66 drivers were released and by now Qualcomm should have done something. Also, has anyone tried open source drivers like freedreno?
New Qualcomm drivers?

I haven't seen anything newer than v66.
Freedreno is still a fairly new video driver and only officially supports OpenGL 1.4(OpenGL 2.0/2.1 is coming very soon). We require at least OpenGL 3.1 + GL_ARB_sampler_objects. There is still /quite/ a ways to go until Freedreno can support Dolphin, I've been trying to help Rob Clark in my free time with it but it is hard to get stuck in on a project that I'm not overly familiar with. 05-14-2014, 09:42 AM

A little off-topic but how can we upgrade drivers? As far as I know They come with firmware updates. But, for example, if a phone get a newer driver, can we just grab that driver and use in another phone (e.g. other phone with the same GPU)?

There are dev drivers on Qualcomm site for Adreno 3xx, but it's stated they are for nexus 5, I'm not sure if it's save just to flash them on other devices, perhaps there could be conflicts with kernel

Also the Dev drivers have never been updated. Still v66.

Only the nexus 4/5/7 have the v53 drivers. I've said some devices, example : htc one mini 4.4 = v45. About M7, true it's v53 but it haven't changed since 4.3. Regarding dev drivers: previous revision they've pushed was v53 so they do update them, current actual dev drivers were updated 17 Apr 14 (even if it's still v66 there's a newer revision: OpenGL ES 3.0 V@66.0 AU@04.04.00.006.048 (CL@) OpenGL ES 3.0 V@66.0 AU@04.04.00.006.055 (CL@) OpenGL ES 3.0 V@66.0 AU@04.04.02.006.066 (CL@) OpenGL ES 3.0 V@66.0 AU@04.04.02.006.082 (CL@) 05-16-2014, 03:30 AM
