[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxorq:
Hey everyone,

My question is pretty easy to understand.

What is the best, fastest, smoothest custom ROM, and best kernel for gaming?

I would want to play games like Gun Bros, Asphalt 6, etc. without those lagspikes, and stuff.

I tried many of them; stock ROMs, Darky's ROM, Amestris, Juve's Smart ROM, and many kernels from Voodoo through Semaphore to Galaxian (have I spelled it right?),

and now I am asking you.

With my current setup, Amestris and Galaxian GT overclocked to 1.2 GHz, I can play Gun Bros even smoothly, but after some rounds, like 30 minutes, it starts lagging, and eventually go to 1 FPS, freeze the phone, and I have to reboot it.

Please tell me what's best, because I am trying to find good, simple ROM without all this bloatware that could play it.

XDA, please help!

THANKS!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kova4a:
Well, there isn't a ROM or a kernel that is made particularly for gaming, so you might need to try some more combinations and see what works best for you. The strange thing is that I can play both Gun Bros and Asphalt 6 without any lag even if my cpu isn't overclocked and I never thought they were more demanding or anything. I even used chainfire3d and tried the tegra Gun Bros which has HDR lightning and some more graphics extras and it also didn't lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petulikt:
Some odexed ROM with dark core maybe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kova4a:
I agree about the odexed rom. Something based on 2.3.4 and odexed will be best in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of the darky and ficeto roms and kernels, so I wouldn't suggest the dark core kernel. That's only my opinion though - my favourite kernel is in my signature and I consider it to be the best kernel ever made for SGS and I've had that phone since its release but I always tell people to try to find something they'll like and consider to be the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petulikt:
Yeah, tornado seems to be good stuff, i used it sooner, but more xda ROMS has own kernel and dont workin with GTO together by good way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxorq:
Thanks for answers, but I am using phone, and dont see your sig, so I dont know what you are talking about. Would you kindly tell me, please :D

[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
http://androidcommunity.com/sandisk-announces-64gb-microsdxc-for-mobile-phones-20110915/

Check this out. Sandisk will release the SDXC 64 GB cards for sale next month. Now I have never seen anyone advertise or mention any phones that support SDXC. Could be because there were no cards for phones yet.

Anyway to find out if any Android phones already support it?

With SDXC I could finally fit all my Games on to one phone so I would jump on this. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
If I'm reading correctly, according to Wikipedia there should be limitations in the device hardware that prevent an SDHC capable device from handling SDXC cards:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues

So theoretically a firmware update could make the EVO 3D compatible.

At $219 for 64GB, I think most people would hold off, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Yeah that price is going to have to go down dramatically. I'm sure by the time Summer 2013 rolls around I'll get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
Firmware update or would it be possible for a mod dev to enable?

Just like the 32 GB SD cards they will go down in price eventually. SDXC is capable of going to 2 TB imagine that in our phones :)
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Yep, I was all like "Hell yeah I'm getting that ****!" Then I kept reading and I was like "Hell naw I ain't getting that ****!"

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_<
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
If phones do start adapting sdxc like Sandisk seems to be implying we could expect memory to double year after year based on how SDHC ramped up to 32 GB
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038039&page=3

Sounds like the S2 guys are on to this already as well. I ordered a card today from Sandisk..

Sounds like some revs may be able to make things work
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17603091

According to this thread the S2 was able to read the SDXC card once reformatted

When I get mine I will update
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
So Trev, you ordered a microSDXC?

Please do let us know how it works!
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
Will do
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I cannot wait for 64gb. I love evolving technology
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
This works on the Evo 3D !!!! LOVING IT Now I can ALMOST fit all of my PS1 games!

I imagine this will work with most phones as long as you format it correctly.

The only issue I had was I have the CM7 alpha for my Evo 3D and it could not reformat my SD card

I swapped to my wife's non rooted phone and it formatted the card properly.

I honestly think this belief that our phones would not work with SDXC cards was a misconception because all the manufactures marketed them as "up to 32 GBs" They did that cause that was all that was around at the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] sacredabyss:
This is a great news, would it work on GSM E3D ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
I think it will work on all phones
[HTC EVO 3D] DeMiNe0:
I'm going to jump on this as soon as it comes down in price. What do you guys think the chances of seeing a 128gb card would be by Q1 of 2012? :P With that and the Extended Battery, my phone would replace my Ipod. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
Chances are high to see a sdxc capacity card double each year the same SDHC did. SDXC already has prototypes of micro sdxc cards up to 2 TBS
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
It probably also had to do with people remembering how the SDHC transition was, where there was an actual hardware difference that meant devices that weren't designed for SDHC simply wouldn't recognize an SDHC card.

Great to see that SDXC works for us.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
It would costs as much as your phone & an iPod :p
[HTC EVO 3D] Trev186:
Except u do not have to carry both. Also you are assuming subsidized price of a phone.

I have already filled my 64 GB sdxc card and it is well worth the money

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
Hey Guys,

I already use a Desire HD fully rooted and eng s-off. Now i bought a Flyer 16gb WiFi and after reading a couple of hours here I'm unsure if I should keep the device.

Is it possible to root the device?

Is it possible to install the HTC HC Leak which is made for the 32gb?

Is it possible to get back to stock?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Daniel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bluebear13:
I'm not really sure why it would be an issue with the German Flyers. HTC just announced that their bootloader unlocking tool officially supports the Flyer (see htcdev.com), so it should be even less of an issue. I have a US 16gb Flyer using the same stock HC 3.2 leak that people are using on 32gb Flyers (via Paul at MoDaCo). Have you found the thread at MoDaCo (sorry, can't post the link)? Someone might have reported running HC on a German Flyer there.

As far as getting back to stock, I hear there are a number of ways to do it. Someone has posted the shipped RUU's in the developer forum; I'm not sure if the German one is there. If you manage to get clockworkmod running, I believe you could just backup and restore.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Yes i already know this thread and as i've seen the instructions are definately working on the 32gb 3g but he's not sure if the 16gb will work fine.

And as i read a RUU for the 16gb is not available.

So in the end it's the same thing as on other phones. You have CWM and S-OFF after the procedure and can just install ROMs as you like, right?

Did you do everything like in Paul's thread? Or is there anything to keep in mind when flashing the 16gb?

Regards

Daniel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bluebear13:
Yes, this seems to be the case, although I don't claim to know the details behind needing the new boot, radio, and hboot images. From what I understand, it's required for the Honeycomb ROM, and I think Paul has some details about this on his thread. You might want to ask there, or someone here can enlighten us. I'm not sure if this will limit the ROMs you can install, but if you want to install Honeycomb on a 16gb model, I can attest to them working.

I followed Paul's instructions exactly, no special considerations. I'm not sure what it is in the RUU that would limit use for other models, as you would think the partition tables would remain the same and you would simply image your ROM to that. But I have limited experience with this. Again, I can attest to the image files posted on Paul's site to be working for the US 16gb Wifi-only model and maintaining the same partitions as before the update.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
But Pauls Guide includes everything right?

So i don't need to S-OFF with this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062184

Correct?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bluebear13:
That's correct. Paul's guide includes everything. It leaves out instructions for using Revolutionary and HTC's unlock tool since the links to those websites include the instructions.

If you're S-ON, the step with Revolutionary (Step 7) will make your Flyer S-OFF. I hear some Flyers, particularly those shipped to Europe, were S-OFF from factory, so you wouldn't have to do that part if you're already S-OFF. You can check by just going into bootloader (shut down, reboot by holding volume down and the power button). The first line or something will say S-On or S-Off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
Okay thanks, i will try it next week.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hsingh1993:
plz note that this thread is not made for any harm or disgracing or comparing developers , i totally respect their works. For now my fav developer is Andy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Every single one of them :D

Add that option too :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Seriously, add it. Its damn difficult to choose one :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
@all mik started porting for our phn cm7 when it had various bugs but noW is stable and creating a possibilty of creating official cm7,andy is up with beast rom on weekend,ciaox bringing sense and openoptimus great features,franco playing the best part in kernel without him it wouldnt have been possible to get our phn going for long wth smoothness ,battery,games etc.

So the list doesn't end up here so I beleive p500 thread belongs to all devs who has brought something or the other for the phone and yes even to all users who have always supported the dev and providing that extra boost as without the users nothing can come into use.

sorry for the long lecture but for me - TEAM DEV AND USERS :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
It really is hard to say bit any user rather advanced or noob is doing so much for our devices. If it weren't for people like djoptimus,Andy,mik,sweetnsour,Dr.notor,or ciaox we wouldn't have great insight on how to custom our phones. Anytime you have a well known dev blowing up the forums with new updates or unknown devs releasing there first rom I have nothing but respect
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
helping others is my way of giving back to this awesome community :p

its the most I can do. I am by no means a developer so there is no way I can develop a rom or kernel. but its still something at the very least
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaXmax:
Say ALL optimus one devs... Ur favourite... Is not ur getting them somethung right?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Garuxa:
I think this poll is malformed because franciscofranco and fserve are kernel developers. Andy, mik and others are Roms developers or other things. So they compare in that sense I think it is very difficult.

Well it's just my opinion :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
Not to pick on anyone but a couple of these people I don't recognize as developers. A developer in my mind is someone who has written and released new code. Also, there's at least one I think you left out.

No offense but for what it's worth I didn't vote and I don't think it's fair to pit them against each other.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
all developers all great, but i vote for mik as he first started porting cm7;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
drellisdee - the first to release an OC .32 kernel for the 01. Also, I think his adb push write up was the first I saw on getting root for the O1.

getitnowmarketing - the first to release a recovery (AmonRa)

Paulo - the first to OC the .35 kernel

Not the most active devs in the O1 community but certainly there names belong in this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devil997:
I noticed that there are differences between galaxy s.

The galaxy of my girlfriend has the camera with a different quality, lower. It recognizes the fact that if you look at the sensor, my, have color amber, while lower, has green tinges water-blue. The difference of quality is fairly sharp, especially with low light.

In addition, the feedback of soft touch buttons on my girlfriend's phone is much stronger, while mine are much low.The vibration, has exactly the same intensity on both phones.

The tests I made ​​using the same rom on both phones.

The galaxy of my girlfriend had the combo of the 3 keys locked, while my no.

The phones are both Italian.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcajjones:
Me and both my parents have galaxy S I9000's and I've noticed this too! Haptic feedback of the soft keys is low on one and high on another. It seems, after I just wiped my phone and updated to the latest version of miui, my soft keys also have really weak haptic feedback. It's odd but it must be a bug, I'm going to odin flash a stock Samsung firmware then cwm flash miui and see if it fixes it. I can't believe more people haven't noticed this?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devil997:
For the camera now i'm sure....Green camera's quality are lower.

For haptic...it's complicate...My phone works well on MIUI/CM7, but, if i flash samsung rom, the trouble come back.I tried with alla rom..

I think that my phone worked fine when I bought it, but since I used odin, the feedback has not returned the same...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrw:
I got a 10.1 tab last night and it's great. I have one issue maybe you can help me with regarding the market and apps. My wife and I both have android phones and we are sharing the tablet. When I set it up and put in our email addys I went into the market and it was downloading all of the app we have on our phones. Cool feature if I'm replacing my phone, but not for a shared device that I don't need to be identical to our phones. Is there a way to not make it do this? The thought I have is to create a dummy account for both of us but then it seems like it will be weird to use gmail app and stuff like that.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrw:
No shared accounts. I put in both of our gmails under, settings then accounts. Now we can switch between the 2 accounts in the gmail app but I hate that the market downloaded each of our phone apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drubin44:
It's because there is a setting when you first ran the market or setup your gmail on the tablet. It's the option where you allow Google to download previously purchased apps off the market and because your phone uses the same account, Google assumes you want the same apps, if the app is compatible with tablet. Remember purchase can be paid or free apps. It won't sync again like that after the first time unless you decide to reformat and you don't uncheck that box again.

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon roadmap, 2.5GHz CPUs coming early next year

" We've been hearing about Qualcomm's next generation of 2.5GHz processors for a few months now,but the company's quad-core future has now become a little bit clearer. Speaking at the Innovation Qualcomm event in Istanbul yesterday,Senior Vice President of Product Management Cristiano Amon confirmed that the chipmaker's S4 line of silicon will be shipped to manufacturers by the end of this year and should appear in consumer products by the beginning of 2012. Available in single-,dual- or quad-core models,the new,28nm additions to the Snapdragon family will also support Adreno graphics,3D and 1080p HD,in addition to 3G and LTE connectivity. If all goes according to schedule,then,we could see a slate of S4-equipped handsets at next year's Mobile World Congress in February,though we'll try to contain our excitement until we get a more specific launch date.
