CM7 vs. MCR FR19

Performance:

So yesterday, just to try out the "super smooth" LG ROM (10c/622) I installed FR19 and removed some junk and took it for a spin. CM7 both feels snappier and is snappier, theoretically: Benchmark - LG O2X ROMS: stock vs. CM7 vs. FR19

Stability:

Didn't have time to test general stability of FR19 (went back to CM7 asap), but I bet it's worse than CM7.

Bugs/Issues

Been using CM7 since the first nightlies and I'm very confident in this project, even though there's a few bugs left. The most major concern I currently have left is the GPS. I know it's been told multiple times already, but don't you love the echo..?

1. Issue: Compared to FR19 - where the GPS got a fix within _seconds_ after firing up Google Maps - CM is a bit slow. Standing at the very same spot, outside at my terrace, and even after 1 minute I still haven't managed to get a fix with CM7.

2. BUG: the GPS fails to toggle state if it's turned off during the "fixing phase". E.g. run an app (e.g. Maps, RunKeeper, ...), from the status bar toggle the GPS off = still the GPS icon keeps blinking. No matter what I do I can't get it to go away until I restart the device. Doesn't seem to get a fix either.

Requests:

If you're fed up with work and don't have energy for requests, stop reading here.

1. Camera settings

- Profiles: 1080p:30/25/15, 720p:30/25/15, ...

- Bitrate/Quality: High/Mid/Low

2. HDMI settings

- Resolution (Auto/1080p/...)

- Video: On/Off (that way my reciever can still show another video source, but stream audio [music] from my O2X)

- Audio: On/Off

3. BLN settings

- Activated: On/Off

- Blink interval (I'd like 1 blink/min)
[LG Optimus 2x] svceon:
you should put in the benchmarking sheet oc, like @ the same speed as SGS2 1.2ghz, or even the baconcooker 1.5ghz, it'll blow minds
[LG Optimus 2x] Ph4nt0m_:
I don't know what you've been doing but FR19 is faster and much more stable. Not to talk about bugs in CM7, but you're right about one thing, benchmark scores are higher with CM7.

I've tried CM7 RC1, but went back to Modaco after 2 days.
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
Sure, I will. I actually kept track on all previous FR releases before and did some benchmarking OC:ed. At 1.2 GHz I managed to take down the Galaxy S II. Gonna give it a few more rounds.

The only things that's faster with FR19 is the animations. LG tuned the speed up pretty much. So placebo ;-)... Oh, yeah - and the GPS fixing... and MKV/High Profile 4.1 playback. Darn it.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
^cm7 can also play mkv
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
'Play .MKV' is a misnomer. Matroska is a container, not a codec, inside it could be anything.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Yes, but when people mentions it, they always refer to scene-releases, which are the encoded with same codec. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
so regular CM7 can play what video formats?

[Dell Streak 7] mike99:
Hey guys,

I am thinking of buying DS7. I will need to use it primarily as an e-book reader, but also for light internet access and videochat instead of my laptop during short business trips.

I do plan to root it and use the Latest HC rom.

I would like to know what you think of the device. My main concerns are:

Build quality - will it last for 4-5 yrs, again with light use? I have heard both good and bad about the quality of recent dell products.

Battery - is it user replaceable?? How long does it last? (before it needs to be replaced, not a single charge)

I know the screen res is low, but is it OK for reading books?

Is there skype version for this model?

Thanks

Sincerely,

Mike
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Seems to be very good quality. You need to be careful about protecting the glass screen.

Battery is built in & has to be replaced by Dell. I don't think anyone knows how long it will last before needing to be replaced.

I use it for reading with the Kindle APP - no problem.

I have had no luck with skype, you should do a search on this one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Hi folks, quick question: what's that department that you ask for when calling Tmobile customer service when you want them to really help you out with a favor; typically it's the department right before the cancellation department? Or is it the cancellation department itself?

I long forget, but there's a specific department you can ask where they are suddenly much friendlier and more helpful.

Edit: is it the customer loyalty department?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookout4theyeti:
Retentions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
I think its the loyalty department. I've had really good customer service from there.

[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
did you flash a Custom ROM? is your back cover put in?
[HTC Incredible S] hashnoz:
no i flash orginal rom through bootloader (fastboot) i rename the rom to pg32img.zip and i flash it after finish the phone cant find signal
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
you flashed a different original rom? for what purpose?

i'm thinking you might have an icompatible radio.

you can always just use the goldcard method and RUU to flash another stock rom.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
after looking at your first post... i think you flashed the radio not a ROM
[HTC Incredible S] hashnoz:
i flashed the different rom through change the name to pg32img.zip

and i flash it through bootloader

after it the signal is dead

now i flash the orginal rom

RUU_Vivo_Sasktel_Canada_WWE_1.46.669.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.17_M_release_176741_signed_2.exe

[HTC Incredible S] Her0o:
Try GSM Mode only ... the signal should be come

And this should go to general....
[HTC Incredible S] hashnoz:
i try choose gsm only and didnt work i think there problem in radio

i need he rom 2.3.3 my device is canada version
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You do not need a 2.3.3 ROM, what you need to do is flash one of the Gingerbread compatible radios. I have provided you the link in one of the other threads you started.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] greenjeans:
Most of you probably know this, but the 'Pt' branded cases at best buy are designed, manufactured, and exactly identical to Seidio's. After learning this I just went to best buy to pick one up, instead of waiting on shipping.

Gonna check other threads now, but thoughts on seidio rugged vs otterbox defender? They're both solid, loving my seidio (Pt).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ashdawg4:
Yeah, funny thing, i just bought one 3 days ago and loving it. I have that Pt defender case and it is I believe made by the same company that makes Seidio or made by Seidio and rebranded by Best Buy. Either way, I love the Defender case they have, seems very solid. So far the only issue I have with it is that it does tend to mess with my Zagg screen a little bit around the edges, but I think I can live with that.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Mystery252:
I have them both and they're both awesome. I find the power button easier to push with the platinum case and catch myself using that one more often.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bond32:
I just purchased one, the seidio that is. To those of you with it now, how easy is it to pocket?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] greenjeans:
The exoskeleton makes pocketing better, less rubber to slide around. It is a bit bulky, but doesn't really bother me. remember, the first layer is the 'surface' case, which I use on its own when I'm not at work or play, and is much less bulky.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bond32:
I just got my Seidio Rugged case in. I am very impressed, would recommend for sure. I really like the screen protector too honestly. It has a nice feel to it and it fills the entire screen (not like the gimpy verizon protectors).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] greenjeans:
Unfortunately, the rebranded ones from Best Buy don't include a screen protector, I purchased a freaking ripoff of a $20 zagg protector with it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Mean Bro Greene:
I've had several of each of the Platinum cases and the Seidio cases. From what I've seen from each one, the quality of the Platinum case is actually better than the Seidio, the felt inside my Seidio cases is sometimes offset, but not on any of the Platinum cases. The rubberized finish on the outside is peeling off of every single one of my Seidio cases, but not the Platinums(which is why I don't use the Seidios anymore, they look awful).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ashdawg4:
Yeah, Zagg screens are a ripoff, BUT, they work great too. I tested one out, and sent in for warranty replacement and they do send you one pretty quick. Just the warranty on that is worth the price to me, anytime you get a bubble or scratch, you just get another one for a cheap price. I like that about them. For me, I just got that thunderbolt and now I am looking at switching to T-Mobile...that same screen protector should fit the evo 3d decently which is what I am looking to pick up.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Your looking to switching to T-Mobile, but plan to get a evo 3d... did you mean sensation? Evo 3d is sprint only.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] buffnutz1:
Does anybody know how to take the case off the phone? I for the life of me cannot do it. I have a better battery I want to put in, but just can't get the damn thing off lol.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Anyone have any luck with our stock browsers and playing WebM content?

I've got a server setup on my network at home to easily stream content to most devices, and have decided to migrate it towards webm and html5. I have it working wonderfully on desktops with standards compliant browsers - but the phone and xoom just can't seem to do it in the stock browser.
[Xoom General] alex2792:
Stock browser doesn't support that codec yet. I don't think any third party browsers do either at the moment.

Good Morning,

Unfortunately my HTC Touch Pro2 has stopped working properly.

Everything works fine except microphone and speaker when I answer a call (or call someone). I can still communicate via speakerphone, but that's rather inconvenient.

Is there anyway I can fix my phone?

(it's out of warranty)

Thanks for all suggestions,

Thanks JackOS (I use your ROMs BTW), but that didn't fix the problem...

The other caller/call-receiver can hear me, but I can't hear them.

Please tell me what I can do to fix the problem (I tried the .cab, and when that didn't work, I tried the manual Phone->Advanced setting change)

Thanks,

If you use my roms there is no need for the fix I provided.

Looks like you have a hardware failure. There is nothing I can do about it.

Did you ever find a fix? My phone started having this issue yesterday. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
If it's a hardware issue, there isn't much to be done software-wise... as Jackos clearly states.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ccengineer:
Most probably your Flex ribbon cable is going bad.
[Nexus S General] benifactor:
Can you point me in the right direction to read the latest about the radio fix? I didn't notice the problem until I added a line to my contract and did a side by side with the evo3d.

3g is about the same but 4g and wifi lost in every single test.

So I know they were looking for a fix but I haven't heard anything since. Has there been any headway made?

using software to monitor the frame rate

sometimes its 25 but then it goes down to 14 Fps !!!

That's really really weird, I have recorded a lots of lots of footage and I never ever experienced that even using a slowish sd-card as storage.

Is it the same if you are playing the files back on your computer?

Are you using stock player for playback?

If you download MediaInfo and right click a file on your computer does it say 30 fps for all of them which it should?

any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp.salminen:
I'm having the same issue in low light conditions. No problem outdoors or indoors with lower resolutions.

I think djase is correct that it's a autofocus problem, because the stutter occurs during camera focusing / after the focusing.

I have contacted Samsung (Finland) about this and I'm waiting for an answer..

Hope this will be fixed with firmware update/patch..

(using non-rooted/stock phone)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark2222:

very strange !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp.salminen:
Not from Samsung..

I'm not able to find the camera firmware update from Samsung Apps, but I ran the KF3 firmware update and the stuttering still happens..

Cam FW Ver: SCEE07

Phone FW Ver: TBEC28

(I've attached the device general information)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djase:
same version as you !

it seems only SCEE** have this drop fps !

cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
its not a drop in frames its actually a problem with the auto focus it is metering on a large area that is dark and the autofocus cannot pick up an actual objsect to focus on so it keeps hunting for a object.

This is a software issue, it most likely need calibration.

Will probably get resolved in a later update, hang in there.

If you are infact getting droped frame rates i would ask you to check your, cpu and gpy speed scores if you are getting lower then avarage speeds then you could have a bad cpu/ gpu that is not able to convert the data fast enough therfor giving droped frames.

i get on quadrant standard 2900-3500

linpack 45-46 mflops avg

nenamark2 44.3 fps avg

i have no replay frame stutter on videos, however in low light recording my autofocus does hunt for a focul spot.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djase:
yes you're right but samsung don't give a f*** !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp.salminen:
I haven't checked if there's actually a fps drop during the video recording, but the stutter seems to be dropping the frames (at least it looks like it).

I got the following scores:

- Quadrant Standard: 3627 avg (calculated over 20 runs: lowest 2978 / highest 3809)

- Linpack (Single Thread): 56,050725 mflops avg (calculated over 40 runs: lowest 49,753 / highest 57,224)

- Linpack (Multi-Thread): 80,05445 mflops avg (calculated over 40 runs: lowest 67,629 / highest 92,878)

- NenaMark2: 45,295 fps avg (calculated over 40 runs: lowest 37,5 / highest 48)

So I think the problem is not in the cpu/gpu even when there's some fluxuation between the highs and lows..

And addition I got multiple programs/services running in the background (virus protection, automatic contact information fetcher software, remote connection / device protection software, JuiceDefender, 3G Watchdog).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSlump76:
Same issue to me. In low light condition, i exeperience video stuttering when the phone adjusts the focus. I've olso noticed that raising the exposure value over the standard 0, does not have any effect, but the flashing effect in the video during autofocus.

So, finally:

1) The video stutters in low light condition during autofocus if exposure=0

2) The video stuttersi in low light condition during autofocus with "flash" effect if exposure>0

3) The video does not stutter in low light condition if exposure=-2

4) Video is perfect in good light condition.

Did someone notify thi to Samsung?

I tried almost all the firmwares both camera and system firmwares, contacted samsung (they didn't answer), changed the phone with another new unit and I still have the problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
Same problem here (reminds me of my old Samsung Omnia HD)

Checked Quadrant score is 3198 thus nothing wrong with my phone.

I am getting HIGH dropped frames (10fps during those intervals) at 720p and 1080p, and as I suspected (like some of you here) it is mainly because of the auto-focus.

Though sometimes while you film a focused item/landscape you still have some dropped frame rate, and guess what, sometimes when you shoot a video everything is ok and smooth.

I thought I left this old story with Omnia HD i8910 LONG AGO! :mad:

[General Questions and Answers] Evostance:
I'm just trying to gauge some interest about whether or not people would find this useful.

What it would essentially be is a website where developers can link to in their threads to organise the bugs people find.

Dev's can upload screenshots of their ROM, link to it etc. It would have a bug tracking system where users can post bugs found and the dev can highlight when these are fixed.

There would also be a section for changelogs etc. With each upgrade of a ROM, the previous ROM becomes archived, however still available for people to download. Users can also rate the ROM.

What this would essentially do is minimise the amount of issues highlighted in threads which the dev can easily miss. This would leave the ROM threads open to requests and general talk.

Who would find this type of service useful if it was exclusive to xda?
