[GUIDE] Disable CPU rendering

[aimlessanomaly]

So any idea what I should do if I forget to set the permissions and end up with a black screen and unable to boot?

mrg, it will be a sad day indeed when you finally get the banned today/not banned tomorrow Galaxy Nexus (damn that rotten fruit). I know that you'll still have OVs around, but that new toy will take most of your dev time.

I think that the flashable zip posted by mrg right above your post will prevent that from happening by setting the permissions for you. However, make a backup before hand.

What I'm trying to say is I forgot to set the permissions and cannot boot :/

Edit: Thanks, I'm all fixed

You can wipe cache/dalvik-cache and reflash the ROM in recovery.

boot into recovery from powered off state (hold home, vol down, and power) and restore the nandroid that you made, or wipe and reflash rom, tweak, gapps, reboot?...

 

[aimlessanomaly]

Oh ok, thank you. I was looking around for the key combo, and that brought me back into recovery. Thanks, I'm pretty new at this

I have attached here a flashable zip file that will do the trick for you. Like bigsupersquid, I am not sure if there is any difference and Antutu is giving exactly the same 2D/3D GPU scores. Anyway, it is good to have one less library in the ROM as long as we can do without it.

Thank you mrg666, I'll try it out and if it works I'll mention it on the first post.

Even though I got a newer phone on a different carrier I'm still using my OV. It's not too much of a distraction to be honest, the OV is excellent, don't doubt your devs either

As they say, don't mention it

I didn't really see any differences in benchmark either, but the weird thing is that the performance boost is still noticeable in general.

 

[bornagainpenguin]

Placebo effect or?? All I know is it really does feel smoother!

EDIT: I should have probably mentioned that I am running Joyfully Optimus Rom, just in case others also using it are wondering if this works for them.

Soft brick meaning bootloop? I get confused with meanings.

Actually no. I'm on bobzhome, so it has the VM boot splash. After the splash, I got nothing. Blank screen. But setting the permissions works. It runs great

instead of removing the original .cfg and .so, i renamed em with an added .old extension in case i had to put em back
i haven't noticed any differences yet myself, but it's only been a half hour or so of testing.

Do you have a gtalk? Im wondering about something. And you pm's are disabled

Just reflash the rom over top, don't wipe. You will have to reflash gapps.

So can you just flash and not do the root explorer thing??

No wonder, if you want the best results set your governor to performance. Is that the higest you could overclock your device? I was able to run my benchmark tests at 864 MHz max. I'll try again and see what score I get this time around.

Here's my OV benchmark score.
