I have HTC magic (rooted and flashed to android 2.3.4-ginger yoshi1.5). As it is stated in android documents that android 2.2 supports opengl es 2.0,I want to make a app using opengl es 2.0. But ConfigurationInfo.reqGlEsVersion returns 0x10001 ie. opengl es 1.1. so i want to know does support of opengl es 2.0 for a device depends on hardware or not?

No it doesn't support openGL ES 2.0. My previous phone was a rooted HTC Magic too and I was looking if it's able to support oGL ES 2.0. The the documentation says, that Android 2.2 supports it, but this doesn't mean that every device running 2.2 is capable to support it. I'm not completely sure, but I think that it's hardware and/or driver related.

Hope it helps

Edit: Bottom of the page under the Hardware support! http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming/APIs,_Libraries_and_acronyms
