Nougat's CTS requires either OpenGL ES 3.1 or Vulkan support. MSM8916 supports neither.
- deovferreira 10y agoThis is not true. See https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd.html https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd.html. Particularly, the ending paragraph in 3.3.1 which says that you must export ES 3.1 symbols for linking purposes but their implementation is only compulsory up to the level for which the device declares support. The following section 3.3.1.1 also mentions that Vulkan libraries and symbols must be present for linking purposes but may report zero VulkanPhysicalDevices. Additionally, there are several qualcomm releases for 8916 nougat (LA.BR.1.2.9-01310-8x16.0).
