[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
I think it loading slower since the I/O speeds on HTC devices are normally slower than the competition. I have seen this issue on other htc android devices too, the dragon SoCs don't have the best memory chips in them.

Evidence
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
The speed at which they finish the test doesn't really mean anything since in a similar test done by Slashgear Sensation does finish the benchmark test faster in the video but gets a lower score. Check it out in the video here:

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-video-20153280/

Here we have the reverse....Sensation finished later but gets a higher score.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Sense is software not hardware.

Loading a benchmark app is not just movement of data. They generally are going to use a few major system components in order to operate.

Sense running over Android's base linux system is more akin to running Gnome or KDE GUI's in Linux. The GUI definitely impacts system performance. Less resources available to load applications and process data can negatively affect performance. Is Sense 3.0 such a resource whore that it drops the Sensation's benchmark scores below that of similarly spec'd devices? Possibly. Did this occur in previous Sense devices?

Most people are assuming the Sensation:

has inferior hardware drivers

has diminished benchmark performance due to screen resolution

has inferior/defective components

is being crippled by HTC custom firmware

some combination of the above

Since these devices can output to hdmi sources, has anyone performed benchmarks while using an external display? Do the external displays mirror or provide an additional display? Would this be a good test to see how well the devices hardware really holds up with available benchmarks?

I'm personally hoping that this is a beta rom with drivers still in development. Even if they aren't though it doesn't seem like it is noticeable to the user.

------

BTW - possible spotting of the SGS2 coming to ATT http://androidandme.com/2011/06/phones/did-atts-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-just-appear-on-facebook/

If I could get a SGS2 that looked like a Evo3d and felt like a Sensation on Tmobile- I'd get it. Instead, I'm getting a Sensation. I need GSM and I hate the way the SGS2 looks.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
I/O speeds are directly related to which filesystem is being used. I'm assuming (although I don't know for sure) that the Sensation is using the older Ext3 filesystem. This is not unusual since most devices use this out of the box with the exception of the Nexus and SGS2. The ext4 filesystem is vastly superior and increase I/O (read/write) speeds by an average of 5-8X.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
An3D is a pointless benchmark for the most part as it only tests one core. The Nexus S can score over 5000. Smartbench 2011 is really the only benchmark that tests both scores.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Good to know. When you say Nexus do you mean both or one particular Nexus device?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
The Nexus S was the first device released to natively use the ext4 filesystem. All devices from the Nexus S on support ext4 just needs a custom kernel to mount the ext4 partition.
[HTC Sensation] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Do you understand CPU overhead? Crappy software uses large CPU overhead. Lack of acceleration uses CPU overhead.

If sense occupies 10% of your CPU consistently, then you're only getting 90% of the performance.

Ever play with an Atrix? Blur slows it down that even if you install Launcher Pro, it's as slow as my Motorola Milestone at 550mhz stock in scrolling. It's a freaking slideshow. Overclock my Milestone to 1ghz, and it still falls behind a N1 or Nexus S or any modern 1ghz single core phone. At that point it completely crushes the dual core 1ghz Atrix running Blur bloatware. Ever see a Droid X scrolling in the Moto launcher? slideshow too... But once you isntall some custom ROM (even though the bootloader is still unlocked) the Droid X flies.

What I'd like to see here is CM7 well ported to both and benched.

I want to say both the CPU architectures are VERY similar. Tegra 2, Exynos, MSM 8660, OMAP, all use ARM licensing. Some directly license the ARM core while others use the ARM ISA license. Either way, the instruction sets should be processed VERY similarly, meaning RAW CPU performance is similar.

The rest that differentiates these phones is the implementation of ext4, kernel improvements, etc. After all my well tweaked Nexus S hits 3000 on Quadrant. Does this mean I'm crushing every dual core phone except the SGS2? No way. Software optimizations go a LONG way.

Android and other UIs right now are too tasking on the CPU so we can't get a good picture of raw CPU performance.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
as title,

is there any way to do this ?

i want my iconia to become a wifi hotspot just to do file sharing via wifi to my windows .. i know its not possible to share connection as this device dont have 3g network ...

PROBLEM SOLVED

this is my way :

1. download 'power control plus' from market

2. put the widget on the homescreen or notification bar as u wish, but choose wifi tethering as one of the component

3. now u can on the portable hotspot using it.. and u can configure by touching the tethering symbol in the notification bar

4. if you want to exchange file with windows, just download 'andftp' from market, your android will be the ftp client and the device connected to the iconia hotspot will be the server (remember to the file sharing on the device)

when do you need this actually ?

1. when u want to transfer file from pc when there is no wifi around and no usb cable

2. when u want something on your friends ipad / iphone (dont know about this actually, as apple are very strict about file sharing, but sure u can use this with jailbroken devices)

3. with another device which can be an ftp server.. symbian may be ? :D

nb : you have to know the right address for adding in ftp client, in mac i can see that on system preferences -> sharing -> file sharing

may be someone can tell how to do this in windows 7 ?

thx...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
media share/ clear fi

Look in your tablets apps for these pre installed
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
tried that, but we have to connect it to a wifi network first..

what i need is a way to make the iconia as the wifi network hotspot itself

or may be using media share i can do this? how ? didnt find the way
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.j.filesharefree

not sure...

I use Bluetooth for transfer file... or usb cable so dunno if I can help really
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
well, what i want is an app that can make iconia as the hotspot/adhoc so later i can use these kind of app to do file transfer, because these kind of app will be of no use if there is no hotspot / adhoc to connect to ..
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
PROB;EM SOLVED using power notification bar, the feature is included in the native settings app, but acer hid it from us....

so weird of acer..
[Acer Iconia A500] Maliacrete:
Can you please let us all know how you solve it?
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
see on 1st page
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
to know your IP in windows 7

- rigth click on the taskbar icon (Wifi)

Open Network and Sharing Center

[Xperia Play General] HackitZ:
I have yet to unlock the bootloader and have decided to see what happens first. But i did root my play.

But as per the title, how much space is to little.

So the space i'm referring to is the 400 mb of internal storage.

I have remove alot of apps and ringtones to free up space. Well i can't seem to get more than 60 mb of free space on the internal flash drive.

So my question for everyone is have you been able to free up more space? and if so how did you do it.

Oh yeah, i have also moved all my apps to the sd card, well all the apps that thr app lets me.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Search & read my friend, this topic has been run over more times than a flat cat.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
For starters any apps or data you remove from /system/ will not effect your internal storage, because it is a diffrent partition to the /data/ partition, the latter being your internal storage, i have 300 apps on my fone and just under 100mb :) and we do not get 400mb of internal storage, that is just the total, after a clean install you get about 230-240mb :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] |Melvin|:
So as the title says, this is a themed miui music app i made for my recently released update for a rom i made for the mytouch 4g >>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102292 and decided to share it with you guys as i think you all will like it... well lets go to the action

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Side loading

Apparently there is an update that has to be pushed to your phone from AT&T, but hardly anyone has received it yet. People in this thread are working on adding this feature without the update. This method will allow you to install non android market apps, but so far it disables your mms capability.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111278

Free tethering/wifi hotspot

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980591

By changing a few settings, you can have tethering/use wifi hotspot without adding a tethering plan from AT&T.

Maybe we could add future developments to this thread as they become available. I like the idea of leaving my phone stock so that it will automatically update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Are you talking about the "silent" OTA that enables side-loading?

If so, and if by hardly anyone, you mean "hardly anyone here on XDA," it may be because they are rooted or otherwise running a custom ROM that will prevent them from getting OTA updates.

If you mean hardly anyone here on XDA that is bone stock, well, that might be true. And it also might be true that the recently discovered method of enabling sideloading will help some people, who don't mind their mms broken until some workaround fixes it.

Or they can root, and be done with it. There's nothing that will ever be OTA that I would want to get OTA anyway -- it will be available here shortly after.

The only excuse people have to not root is that it *appears* to be difficult. It really isn't. You can enjoy the same exact phone with a stock ROM, but with the added perks that rooting brings. Yes, that includes sideloading. And SIM unlock. And no more bloatware.

However, if this sideloading trick can be perfected, and it will keep people who otherwise don't have the patience to root their phones and as a result would just screw them up, causing them to further not spend the time to read and search, instead firing off 1000's of redundant "Halp Me!" posts, then that's a good thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
ehh I would just rather use adb.... (if I was stock)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Or that. My friggin' rant post from hell was long winded enough for me to forgo mentioning much more. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Yeah, OP, you should definitely include a link to the adb method, or the Sideload Wonder Machine method.

I used SWM to install Swype weeks before I got the AT&T non market option (which was a week before I rooted).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
The adb method for sideloading an app is already discussed in mudknot's stickied guide.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Supposedly there is still an update floating around for unknown sources. If I happen to get my hands on it I will post it.

That's the only reason I haven't updated the side loading part of the guide. If the update gets pushed to every phone with in the month then it would be obsolete quick. I might add it just to have the most information possible... Though I will not put this method on there, because there is no reason you should have to give something up to gain something (captivate anyone?)..
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Still stock here, without the non-market update.

No issues at all using the SWM. I didn't like that whole stupid "dropbox" method mentioned. It's easier and faster to just to use "disk drive" mode to copy the apk files onto the PC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Absolutely agreed. Your guide should be reserved for known methods that provide the desired result without sacrificing other functionality.

I really don't see what all the excitement is about, regarding this new method. I mean, side loading has been a non-issue for rooted devices from the start, now it's *officially* a non-issue, even for bone stock devices.

This new method might have been a useful workaround for stock phones before ATT changed course on sideloading, now not so much.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikolaiT:
Well, a friend of mine gave me a G1, he told me after flashing a new SPL and Radio, the device stuck at the G1 screen, so he erased HBOOT (my friend isn't very smart) via fastboot ("fastboot erase HBOOT") and now the device does not even turn on, I tried getting into blue led mode (trackball + power) but the device doesn't do anything (the led does not light up). I can confirm there is nothing wrong with the trackball, so do I have a hardbrick?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Does anything happen when you hold the power and camera buttons together?

Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
You probably just need jtag..

The trick from where you are is if the device is "booted" you will not be able to enter blue light mode since the radio is already running.

To enter blue light mode pull USB + battery.. reattatch battery then hold the track ball then power.

Otherwise the phone will try and boot.. as you erased the SPL (ie. HBOOT) it won't get far.. but the radio will start and load the empty HBOOT then be stuck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikolaiT:
I got into blue led mode, thanks, can you instruct me further (if it involves soldering/unsoldering, nevermind, it's not hard to solder but this phone is beat-up, not worth the time and waste of solder)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Okay it's gotten to a pretty dire situation where I can't flash any Roms in recovery. I'm using CWM 3.0.2.6. This is what I try and do.

1.Full Wipe 1.5

2.Flash Rom

So far I tried it with ARHD 5.1.9 and Leedroid 3.1.3 and it starts flashing for no longer than 10 seconds then stops and says status 1 (or 7 I've seen) and aborted. I've had zero problems in the past flashing ext3 rom but ever since I tried to flash ARHD 5.1.8 from ARHD 3.5 it's been downhill :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
I think it's to do with the ext4 partitions. *don't use full wipe* - instead run the "partition /data as ext4" script and then flash the rom. Full wipe is for ext3 and ARHD is for ext4.

Otherwise just restore the nandroid you made before full wiping.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Thanks for the reply, how would I go about running that script in CWM. I have Mike's 'format_data_partition_EXT4' file. Also the Full Wipe I was using was 1.5 which says format to EXT4 :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supRshine:
double check downloaded rom's checksum - provided in the topic's op (md5).

u can use zip in cwm under install zip from sdcard menu.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shovett:
Status 7

I had this when flashing Leedroid 3.1.3. Always got status 7 error. I tried the torrent and ftp downloads.

I checked the MD5 number on both files against the MD5 number on the developers site , and both downloads were corrupt.

Downloaded again and checked MD5 numbers and they matched. Flashed with that file and all worked fine.

Always check the MD5 before flashing.

Cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Thanks, I got that error too, I thought a corrupt file would be unlikely because it didn't work with LeeDroid too. How do I check the MD5 of the Rom I download?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Download an MD5 Checker, most ROM authors provide a MD5 which is like an electronic signature. If the MD5's match the file you downloaded is 1:1 copy of the file the ROM author uploaded.

You can find an MD5 checker on my site, just click my Signature and head to tools. Even MD5.exe has an MD5
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
I checked the MD5 to see if it matched and it did, so I imagine it has something do with EXT4. I've managed to flash TB Fusion and it runs very well and stable so I'll stick with that.

Thank you all for the help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supRshine:
if you plan to use an ext3 rom, u should wipe using cwm not zip cause cwm does it to ext3. or use an ext3 based wiper.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I'm using Franco's Kernel v15 + ZRAM with Mik's CM7 6.5.2. At first it was a dream, 1352 points on quadrant and 58.5fps on neocore @480/729Mhz Smartass. Everything running smooth and really fast.

About 6 hours of intense testing some apps (many, in fact) started crashing for no reason. Mostly google apps like Calendar and even Market. But also some widgets and running services.

I reflashed everything, even re-formatted (and re-partitioned) my sdcard and everything was fine again but after a reboot to install google applications (gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip) the crashes started again. And I was running w/o overclocking at this time.

Searching for some info on the issue I saw a post stating that v15 kernel is for FROYO only so it's not compatible with CM7 but Franco always said that his Kernel was compatible with CM7 and there's no such info coming from Franco himself so I want to be sure of it before flashing a Froyo ROM.

Any thoughts on this issue? Any help is appreciated.

Edit:

Maybe it's worth noting that my phone is a O1 p500h, apart from the 3.2mp camera I don't really know if there's other differences in hardware that may cause problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
That h is ur problem I think
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I really hope not. I've been using Franco Kernel + CM7 for many versions and never had any problems with it (well, aside CM7's known bugs).

I'm from Brazil and CM7 is the only ROM I know that has Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) language support. All other ROMs I tried are strictly european and only have support for Portugal's Portuguese (pt-PT), which is kinda different and "sounds" quite annoying at some times. :)

And while I feel quite confortable using english, it's not the same thing as your mother tongue.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Its weird some users reported this kind of stuff.

I think its safer to use dookmatt kernel than franco kernel
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
Could a theme cause this kind of instability? I just remembered that on both times the crashes started I was experimenting with a XperiaArc theme for CM7.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
Are you using app2sd or data2sd? These may cause such conflicts at time.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
Nope, but I have an Ext4 partition on my SD-Card so I get more "internal" memory for installing apps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
You need to use some external app/hack for what you have described, so, essentially the answer is yes, not no :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
The answer remains "no", I'm not using app2sd nor data2sd.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
You missed the point. Whatever are you using for this can cause the instability. Apparently top secret stuff, so... go help yourself I guess. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ssanthosh:
I am facing certain problems like you after flashing devoid.franco+kernel V15+ ZRAM.

I had following issues for the past 15 days.

1. changed the stock ROM to devoid Franco + V14

I agree the performance of the phone increased. Did OC using Set CPU. Score over the Quadrant was never over 650, not an issue with this as long as i can feel the diff in the performance.

One major change i saw was - as you all know the SMSes get threaded with a particular contact (both recd and sent msgs.). In my case if i receive sms from TD-I-mint, the message was shown as received from TD-Reylon, similar with all the SMSes, the actual sender was never possible to know when you see the list of msgs. Only after you open the msgs then you could find out the sender.

this is continuing still with Kernel 15.

2. same situation after flashing V14.1, V14.2, V14.2.2.

3. with Kernel V 15 + devoid.francoROM with little change. I wiped everything, SD was partitioned and upgraded to EXT 4. Flashed new ROM (05-06-2011), rebooted, flashed Kernel V15, rebooted, flashed ZRAM, rebooted, but phone never came to life, had to remove the battery and reboot, same result. Then wiped cache and dev cache, then flashed ZRAM, the phone was breathing.

Then tried to flash the system apps downloaded from first post of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049518&page=1, the phone lost its life and had to re-do the whole process of flashing ROM....

With update of ROM + Kernel V15, i had to re-do the whole process for 5-6 times. I never had this problem with older kernels or flashing custom ROM.

One major issue is - msgs and other apps like TB (list of backups) some times display vertically. Today for the first time the SMS app was force closed.

Any-body facing issues like this or issues and you have the solution , I request you to post here.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I guess the best solution for me is to use the stock ROM with franco.kernel. This way I maintain my country's language (and, most important, GPS configuration) and still get some nice tweaks from Franco's.

By reading the comments on v15 kernel, it seems wise to wait for a new version before installing it. There are several users experiencing heavy battery drain. Or maybe install v14.2, but I don't have it anymore. :(

So, is it safe to use franco.kernel v14-v15 with LG stock ROM (mine came with v10A, android 2.2.1)? Or does it have any compatibility issues?

Thanks for your replies. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cas0404:
touch fix

hi, Does this kernel has the touch fix like Mik_os' kernel?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bindaasathar:
Yes it does. Am running stock 2.2.2 with Franco's kernel v15 and its smooth as butter.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
Running 2.2.1 stock ROM + franco.kernel v15 for about 10 hours now, so far no significant change on battery use.

But I miss mik's ROM performance... FPS on neocore dropped from 57fps to 36.5fps. And my old score on quadrant was 1350 and now is 615. :(

Is there any improvements I can install on my stock ROM? JIT? HW accel? I really could use some more performance.
