Blending issue porting from OpenGLES 1.0 to 2.0 (iOS)

Question

I'm porting a very simple piece of code from OpenGLES 1.0 to OpenGLES 2.0.

In the original version, I have blending enabled with

glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendEquation(GL_FUNC_ADD);
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

I'm using the same code in my ES 2.0 implementation as I need to blend the newly rendered quads with what was in the render buffer (I'm retaining the render buffer, I can't re-render the scene).

I'm using a texture (alpha values displaying a radial gradient from center to the outside, alpha goes from 1 to 0) that serves as an alpha mask, containing only white pixels with different alpha values. I give my vertices the same color say red with alpha of 100/255. My background is transparent black. Below that, I have a plain white surface (UIView). I render 4 quads.

Result with OpenGLES 1.0 (desired result)

My observations tells me that the fragment shader should simply be:

gl_FragColor = DestinationColor * texture2D(Texture, TexCoordOut);

(I got to that conclusion by trying different values for my vertices and the texture. That's also what I've read on some tutorials.)

I'm trying to write some OpenGL 2.0 code (including vertex + fragment shaders) that would give me the exact same result as in OpenGLES 1.0, nothing more, nothing less. I don't need/want to do any kind of blending in the fragment shader except applying the vertex color on the texture. Using the simple shader, here's the result I got:

I tried pretty much every combination of *, +, mix I could think of but I couldn't reproduce the same result. This is the closest I got so far, but that's definitely not the right one (and that doesn't make any sense either)

varying lowp vec4 DestinationColor;
varying lowp vec2 TexCoordOut;
uniform sampler2D Texture;

void main(void) {
    lowp vec4 texture0Color = texture2D(Texture, TexCoordOut);
    gl_FragColor.rgb = mix(texture0Color.rgb, DestinationColor.rgb, texture0Color.a);
    gl_FragColor.a = texture0Color.a * DestinationColor.a;
}

This shader gives me the following:

Answer 1

Stupid mistake. I only needed to normalize the vertex color in the vertex shader as I'm passing unsigned bytes in.
