I came across some random posts on xda from a few phones- one of them being a recent discussion for the LG P500 about a few file & build.prop tweaks to boost 3D performance. I don't normally use benchmarks as proof, or post about them, but the scores for 3D did go up about 100 points for me after making these changes. Plus, tested on Deer Hunter 3D and Apparatus & it is possibly smoother though I haven't played those games in a while.
Anyways, here's the changes:
BACKUP!
delete /system/lib/egl/libgles_android.so
chmod to edit /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg
and remove 1st line (just leave the adreno line)
chmod back to original permissions for egl.cfg
edit build.prop
debug.sf.hw=1
debug.composition.type=gpu
ro.secure=0
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=280
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1
persist.android.strictmode=0
ro.min_pointer_dur=1
wipe dalvik & reboot
I don't know who originally came up with this but here's a thread some guy put together on xda [tweak] improve 3d performance of lg p500 - updated - xda-developers
As far as I know it works on Gingerbread but I'd let the devs test if they're curious to see if it makes magic happen.
At 1st I did the delete file & edit the config file part but didn't notice much. Then I came across that post which mentioned the prop tweaks and that bumped up the Quadrant scores at that point.
My guess is it's forcing the phone to use the Adreno libs & gpu rendering- blah blah blah. I'm a techie but not too technical.
I don't know the affect on battery life but I'd assume if it's removing software rendering and just using GPU (hardware) rendering it'd save battery. Again, I'm not that technical.
