Comments on GLTools [root] ๐ŸŽฎ (games and graphics optimizer) for Android

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Great app! But when I lower the Render resolution in some games, it makes the game's display resolution lower. Any ideas as to why this happens or any solutions for this? Thanks
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… its the best app for a rooted phone to game in high settings! i use it in all my games. however, recently i had problem on pubg and on it ONLY. it has black squares and pink fences. i only use glsl shaders, adreno 630, 8gb cpu/ram. it works on every game except pubg but only on my tmobile galaxy note 3 on android pie by haggertk 20181019 with lolz kernel 6.2. i am a rom switcher always clean install (delete EVERYTHING) from lineage 14 up to now. i did not tried it on deodexed/rooted stock version though.
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… The app used to work great for me, however, after the update, it wont install the plug in. The app hangs up while installing the plugin. I tried installing using recovery, and through magisk, both hangs up. If using the "install" it hangs up on "contacting your su binary". Galaxy s6, rooted with magisk.
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Best 3 dollars spent ever. Just 0.5 resolution , optimize glsl shaders and my favourite app works like a charm.! Thank you
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† THIS APP IS FOOLISHNESS MON WHY CAN'T IT AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURE THE RESOURCES INTENDED FOR THE APPS FUNCTIONALITY . I HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY FILES AND GTOOLS AND IT FAILED TO CONFIGURATE THE FILES OR RESOURCES FOR IT TO WORK COME ON GUYS WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE And this junk crashed my memory and now I'm busy trying to balance out my memory My device is under maintenance as of now I'm trying to delete what ever this damn catch is that it left on my device and I still have not found it it's taking up to much memory!
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Soft bricks phone when installed, have to uninstall to reenable phone. Rooted with Magisk 15.2 on OP5T Update: used Magisk installation method
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† The app did not install after I pay they ask me to root my phone or use the recovery and non of them worked !!!!!
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† I need refund these tool is useless for me since i cant root my device

“A custom OpenGL ES driver and game optimizer. Root required. Really.”

Description by n0n3m4-experimental Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Please read before installing:
• Root is required for this app. If you don't know what is root - read this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/root/
• We don't accept bug reports in reviews, consider using email please
• GLTools doesn't have ads, even though Google Play considers that it has them

GLTools is a custom OpenGL ES driver (proxy), that is compatible with any known OpenGL ES-compatible GPU + ARM or x86 processor. If you still don't understand, what this app is, the closest known analog is Chainfire3D. Note that GLTools is currently OpenGL ES-only and doesn't support Vulkan games.

Features:
โ˜… Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU
โ˜… Change RAM and CPU info
โ˜… Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you install a plugin (internet is required to do that)
โ˜… Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
โ˜… Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default
โ˜… Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
โ˜… Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you are a pro)
โ˜… Launch old games on newer Android versions with expert options

GLTools is 100% safe if you have a custom recovery installed (and you didn't disable backup in GLTools install dialog), if you find it non-working, you can just flash uninstall_gltools.zip in recovery and email me with details (or request a refund). If you don't have one, it is not safe, just like any other system-related tool, make sure that you are able to recover your firmware in case of any problems.

Not working by design on:
- RemixOS.
- Non-rooted devices.
- Emulators of any kind.
