New Qualcomm drivers?

[Q8-V08]

How many play store apps actually utilise opengles 3.0/3.1 though apart from benchmarks?
I can't think of any, it's no wonder Qualcomm are that lazy they'll only get their arses into gear for their customers not consumers. The only decent looking Android games are Dead Trigger & Ridge Racer Slipstream, hell emulated Dreamcast games look better than the majority of what the play store has on offer, their no better than crappy flash games.

Erm... it makes total sense that Qualcomm isn't prioritizing GLES3 until it gains a wider market share. That's how businesses work. If Dolphin is the only app really hitting these GLES bugs, and Dolphin is still unusably slow... it would be irresponsible from a business perspective for Qualcomm to invest a ton of time into it right now.

And I agree that there is a disturbing lack of quality 3D games on Android. I don't even count Dead Trigger, it looks good but the gameplay is still horrible, it's obvious that they don't have much experience with game design. But this is mostly the consumers fault. People are cheap fucks. No one is going to spend $40 on an Android game, even if it rivals 3DS in terms of game design but with much better graphics. It's sad, but look at Square-Enix, they've ported a ton of games and released them at $10-20 and everyone's response is "wtf get real I'm not spending that much". The money just isn't there for proper quality graphics intensive 3D games on Android. :/

While I agree that android users are cheap as piss, I would think that there are many intensive 3D games. UE3 based games like dark meadow, Horn, or ports like X-COM and The Conduit. You just have to look. Also, Qualcomm's ES 2.0 drivers are kinda broke too. Some of my games have glitches and they definitely don't occur on other hardware.

Hey I was wondering if you could reupload the driver. I've recently been looking into modding my unpopular phone on.my own since a community doesn't exist for it. From what I've been looking its relatively easy to get a custom recovery for unsupported phones, even newer drivers which is pretty awesome. I'm running android 4.3 with an adreno 330 at the v53 driver. From what I read the early quallcom opengl es 3.0 drivers were really buggy so I wanted to test my luck w/ newer drivers on my device.
