The front Camera should be working on RLS5. What hardware is your Evo? Maybe try a different kernel or something, but the front cam does work natively in RLS5

As for the battery, as jacoballen stated, I had better luck on pri 1.77 on Myn's rom. There are a million variable that can come into play when battery life is an issue however, and it could be a runaway app, your phone may not like the kernel you're using, it could be the PRI, you could have the 4g wake lock going on if you didn't reboot after shutting 4g off. Just a ton of things that can cause bad battery life. Just gotta rule them all out, one at a time.

I Just downloaded the Radio Switcher Tool(htt://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677045) and I am now focusing on installing the Ginger yoshi ROM on mt HTC Magic which i Rooted earlier today with Amon_Ra.

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

Thats how it looks when i enter the fastboot mode. I got it all backed up, and with the RadioSwitcher i can easily change the SPL and Radio so it matches what the Ginger Yoshi requires.

My question is: if i change the SPL and Radio so that it matches Ginger Yoshi requirements, first of all what files are important for me to download from

http://www.mediafire.com/?cabub1g3y37gj

in order to "install" this ROM. And how do i do it once i know which files to download.

Thanks a lot, i am as you can see all new to this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lannister80:
Once you have the new radio and SPL installed:

1) Wipe your phone (a variety of ways to do this)

2) Copy the "ginger yoshi 1.0 RC5.2.zip" and "32a kernel.zip" files to your phone

3) Flash/install the ginger yoshi zip file in Recovery mode (first).

4) Flash/install the 32a kernel file to your phone in Recovery mode (second).

5) Reboot!

That should do it!

Your radio and SPL are fine to run Yoshi's, just read through the first post in his ROM and it'll tell you that.

The title should actually be GAMING ON ANDROID - mistyped.

There's gonna be a fierce competition in Android Gaming (or hopefully so).

Mobile Manufacturers are chipping in powerful GPUs on their SoCs, which is a very good sign.

It's definitely going to be hard to choose the best gaming mobile from a lot of great mobiles.

Hope this thread will help people to choose their right gaming device.

First of all lets start with the hardware.

As of now, the following hardwares are available for graphics hungry gaming

--> Galaxy S [PowerVR SGX 540]

--> Atrix [Geforce ULP GPU]

--> Optimus 2X [Geforce ULP GPU]

--> Optimus 3D [SGX 540 @300MHZ]

--> Galaxy S II [ ARM Mali 400-MP / Geforce ULP GPU]

Among the above mobiles, the rating is as follows

1 - Optimusx 2x

2 - Galaxy S

3 - Atrix

4 - ARM Mali

* as per anandtech's test with GL Benchmark 2.0 - Egypt

And there is weird thing with Geforce ULP GPU, it seems it doesn't support AA/FSAA. Dunno whether it is a problem with GLBencmark application or Driver problem with Geforce ULP... Gotta dig more on this...

The ARM Mali - 400MP is supposed to have 5 times greater performance than SGX540, which it clearly failed. Of course, it has a lot to do with the proper drivers, and this is too early to judge the benchmark scores of SGS II, but still, don't think samsung is gonna do anything on this matter.

A bit off topic, Apple has gone miles ahead with its latest ipad2.

Already it has got great games, and added with this PowerVR SGX 543MP2, it's gonna rock! Guess, again, it'll take years/months to catch up with ipad2's preformance... Hope Adreno 220 or Kal-El will do the magic for android...

Of course, we need to talk about processors too, but i guess the amount of physics involved in current games can be easily handled by the present single ghz processors...

--> Rest of the talk on next post... [Regarding various games available / coming soon]

Edit: ok got it.

http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?D=Hardkernel+ODROID-A&benchmark=glpro20
[General Topics] sckc23:
so does it mean Mali-400 has similar performance as SGX543 given that the benchmark for odroid-a is comparable to that of i-pad?
[General Topics] emmarbee:
^ no way!

SGX543MP2 is way better than Mali-400MP and Geforce ULP (or atleast this is the present scenario/good efficient usage by ios drivers).

I thought Mali-400MP2 was inferior to SGX540 (which shouldn't be supposedly), but it isn't so after all. Most probably by the time SGS II is released, it'll have the drivers that O-DROID has and it'll be on par with the tegra devices in the benchmark...
[General Topics] i9100:
That is a strange conclusion from looking at the benchmark results. I would say the SGX543 is suppose to be the dominant GPU based on specs but the Mali-400 in Exynos 4210 is really impressing on the games tests and could quite possibly kick SGX543's butt if the resolutions where the same. More results please!
[General Topics] sckc23:
after all the original SGS was packed with a superior GPU compare to A4 and i hope Mali-400 will at least be competitive against SGX543 if not on par.
[General Topics] emmarbee:
@i9100 & sckc23 - even i was hoping that MALI 400MP is a kickass GPU and samsung was so clever in choosing it (instead of choosing tegra). Cause when all were choosing snapdragon+'lame' adreno, Galaxy S landed with hummingbird and PowerVR SGX540 which could kick ip4's butt....

But the results prove that I'm wrong.

And there's also another reason why Galaxy S won't be a great piece of hardware like IP4 and other android smartphones, because though it has powerful GPU it's lonely in its category. If SAMSUNG funded game developers to code efficiently for GALAXY S and SGS II mobiles, then i'm pretty sure it'll be the best. But that's not the case.

On the other hand, Sony Ericsson and Qualcomm (2 giantshots) are working along with game devlopers for the advancement of their adreno series of GPUs.

So in the end, they'll definitely become the winners.

I guess the game developers should themselves realize the need to code effectively for different mobiles, at least for Galaxy S (the most popular/ Sold mobile) and the SGS II (the gonna be most popular mobile).
[General Topics] i9100:
Isn't the only result to support your conclusion the single test Anandtech performed? The same result that has been pulled from the GLBenchmark result listing?

But I do agree with you that Samsung needs to step up their developer engagement game if they want to be a leader.
[General Topics] emmarbee:
Ya, those results are enough to know that MALI is underpowered. Unlike games these benchmarks will run efficiently on all GPUs. But the reason why MALI is under performed in SGS II and not in ODROID, might be because of the driver factors.

->Anandtech says the drivers play a significant role in making the hardware much better.

->And its upto the developer to fully utilize the hardware and its drivers.

I don't think neither of them is going to better with MALI.

And Apple should've focused on developing an efficient driver for 543mp2 by themselves or should've insisted more on Intrinsity to make it better for iOS.
[General Topics] i9100:
So you are determined to stick to a conclusion based on likely invalid benchmark data and at the same time dismiss the benchmark itself? I'm sorry, I'm not able to help you then.

Let's try again when there are new SII data available ;)
[General Topics] tadjiik:
It underperfomed on a test version of the phone Anandtech got to play with at MWC - I would take nothing from such a test as an absolute. The ODROID-a test shows the potential for SGSII.

Do you mean that the benchmarks are too synthetic or that game developers are sloppy?

It seems the drivers for ODROID-A works better, and Samsung would probably get the same drivers. If they are using the same drivers, the score would probably be higher than the ODROID-A, since the glbenchmark tests are very resolution dependent.

Haven't they done that? The benchmarks for the 543MP2 seems quite good to me. And as far as I know, Apple IS developing the OpenGL driver themselves (but probably with help from IMG).
[General Topics] duandroid:
I will say that sometimes its about what you can get out of it not just the specs. The droid and milestone run alot less hardware then most phones these days but with the right rom they run close to on par.

I think the dev community for android is really pushing the hardware to its limits and the phone manu's are just pumping out specs.
[General Topics] sckc23:
I do agree with you to a certain extent. I think the HTC Desire offers one of the best user experience in android and I am grateful to the dev community who keep improving it and try to get the best out of the phone. Nonetheless it does lag a lot when multitasking or running games with heavy graphics and as someone who often play games on the phone, i would surely look for one with a much more capable GPU. hopefully be the SGS II=)
[General Topics] ekimaureza:
how about xperia PLAY ?
[General Topics] sckc23:
Xperia play comes with Adreno 205 which is really last-gen so i doubt it can handle heavy graphics. The only advantage is the sliding control pad and SE will probably pay game dev to try optimising their game for the device.
[General Topics] emmarbee:
Ya, even i was saying that. Samsung should make much better drivers. But will they be doing it? I doubt that. And is SGX540 being utilized to its full potential?

Usually I don't give a f about benchmark(may be that's because of my assumption that it uses only specs statistics), But GLBenchmark is very very close to real time gaming. Cause i've run the test in my phone and i've found it very real. So i ll definitely consider the score anytime.

And what i meant in that line was, games unlike benchmark are not optimized for all hardware. But the purpose of benchmark is to run efficiently on all hardware and so i said it'll run efficiently on all devices. But hey, thats just my IMHO. (I'm very sorry for not adding it, its all based on some calculations that i've made)

Jeez, i totally forgot about the resolution... wow! so i think, if SGS II uses ODROID's drivers, it'll definitely kick MP2 ass? I REALLY WANT THE EXYNOS SGSII TO BE THE ANDROID FLAGSHIP, cause only it has the S-AMOLED-PLUS screen. I don't want to compromise S-A-P for tegra.

This is the one, which I TOTALLY miscommunicated. I'm very sorry for my bad English. I was about to say "Apple WOULD HAVE focused on Drivers or WOULD HAVE insisted more on Intrinsity to make it compatible with iOS, thats why they were able to get such good results." S***!, a small change in grammar totally changes the meaning of the sentence.

@i9100 - i don't get you. Will conclude the with the benchmark, if the benchmark was made with final product. Won't mind the benchmark if the product was not tested with final drivers.

@duandroid & @sckc23 - +1

@ekimaureza - xperia PLAY is totally s*** for its price 32,000 INR (while you can get a much better SGS (GT-i9000) for 25,000 INR.

@sckc23 - SE will pay the devs not only to optimize it for those keypads, but also for the phone's hardware itself. Not only SE. It seems Qualcomm is very keen on marketing Adreno GPU after acquiring it. So, even IF the Snapdragon and other Qualcomm (dual cores) with Adreno GPUs are made inferior to PowerVR and ARM Mali, they'll make sure that all games are coded efficiently to run on their hardware.

THE DEVs will think of only one thing - whichever hardware is sold more, they'll code efficiently for it. Cause that'll naturally make their game good on most of the devices.

So though the PowerVR SGX540 (SGS) is better than Adreno 205 (nexus one, desire and a whole lot of other mobiles), developers would've kept adreno 205 while coding as those products have been sold more units than SGS.

The above statments include some real facts, based on logical calculations and some "IMHO"s. So please don't bother to scold me if i'm wrong.
