This is a small sample size, but it does still show progress over previous devices. The thread title is misleading but I don't think the thread itself is worthless.

Sorry, I'm not an expert on these types of things as you can see. Does this optimization improve performance on every Android device? Including the Nvidia Shield TV? (Thanks for your hard work developers!)

Not counting devices that Dolphin won't install on, it improves the performance on every device that has an ARM CPU. The vast majority of Android devices use ARM CPUs, including the Nvidia Shield TV.

Great! Thanks for the reply!

I'm not on Android O yet, but this technically worked. There's some pretty bad artifacting, but it's definitely an improvement.

I first showed latest master. It renders properly, but with a
very dark blue tint. Then I ran with the build you sent, which had normal colors and light, but alot of artifacting

Bah, still artifacting? Balls.
*hopefully* when O gets released on qcomm devices it'll have an updated driver that fixes stuff like that.
Not holding my breath though....

Well it 100% has an updated driver, even newer than the S835 launch driver. No idea whether said driver fixes it.
Android O reportedly gives us the ability to update the graphics drivers cmiiw. At least the user space side of them. Is this useful at all for dolphin development?

As the userspace part is by far bigger than the kernel part, such an update may include lots of improvements. However, the ability of updates doesn't tell about the update rate....
