Resending, since until now, I haven't noticed that my response wasn't sent to

If you need to trace your own application on a non-rooted phone, it's possible,
but not straightforward: you can link your code against apitrace's glxtrace.so
instead of system libEGL/libGLES (assuming your renderer runs native code, not
Java).  I don't know if anybody has done that successfully yet.

If you need to trace an application that you cannot modify, I'm afraid root
permissions on the phone is a hard requirement.
