[F-Req] Add panfrost renderer (or driver) to support vulkan and desktop opengl 3.1 for mali gpus
Is this request related to a bug?
No response
Describe the request.
Add Panfrost driver to pojav launcher to add almost native performance for opengl 3.1 in pojavlauncher for mali gpus specifically add panvk for vulkan support which some devices dont have even though their gpus and cpus are compatible Like honor 6x which did not get a driver update for vulkan
Anything else?

~~This is panfrost running on a samsung m31 proot distro android https://youtu.be/aJhV7K80OvQ~~ Sorry about that its just llvm pipe
Guess what? Minecraft (at least since 1.17) requires a higher OpenGL version to run.
this thing is faster than gl4es and has vulkan support (which my phone manufacturer did not give a update for) (btw it is a mali t830)
minecraft can run on opengl 3.1 Its only shaders that use opengl 3.2 and the only big feature they use was added in opengl 3.0 which is int forcegl20
well its not just opengl 3.2
So basically, it won’t run Minecraft 1.17+ without modification.
I think you’re really interested in running a shader ~~like SEUS PTGI E12~~ on it right?
For Vulkan:
- Going through Zink is a nightmare, it’s just too slow to be playable. Although newer Mesa version comes with updated Zink might be a lot faster, who knows if it requires extensions that mobile GPUs don’t support?
- For 1.17+, going through VulkanMod will give you various glitches and random crashes, as of now VulkanMod is known to be buggy on Mesa. Also, does it support Vulkan 1.1?
Another major problem on putting Mesa drivers to an APK: it links with system private libraries, which Android won’t give access anyways, unless there’s a hack around it.
Also my device honor 6x did not get a vulkan driver despite having supported gpu and with the vulkan mod and the support added for it in latest dev build I was hoping for a much better performance
well @khanhduytran0 I could just change the version number in all shaders like pojav had to before and with this there is no need for changing any code beside version string
I heard this can be installed in userspace and when i installed it in termux proot did not have any problems
The idea behind this f-req is cool since I have a Mali-G72 and I wish I could use Sodium so the game is playable for once.
Yeah I wish the gpu could atleast help with performance I have a Mali-G71
The people, want, PERFORMANCE! Repeat with me lol (semi-joke)
This is a good suggestion but since im not a programmer, i cant implement support for you guys.
anyone how to compile panfrost for android sdk 24 i could not get it to compile does anyone have any specific compile instructions maybe a gitpod workspace that can do that
