The spb screen widgets. So you aren't using weather, world time, pictures, etc panels?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
Yes, I was using them, but I use similar widgets on other launchers without the same level of drain.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rab1412000:
Actually i was referring to the spb specific widgets. You cannot use them with other launchers. Maybe they are set to sync quite often.

Personally I haven't experienced much battery drain with spb as compared to the other launchers.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ZZDoug:
I've just started using this and what everyone says is true, both pro and con. Just depends on how you look at it. It's massively expensive if you compare it's cost to other apps, just as a Rolls Royce or Mercedes is massively expensive compared to a Chevrolet or Ford. On the other hand, considering how often you use a launcher and home screen app, if you compare its cost to the cost of the phone and your wireless plan over the next few years then it's a pittance.

It's the absolute best aesthetically but does need work on the customization. Hopefully the price is making them a lot of money so they will update and improve it often.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xstarbuckx:
Digging up an old post sorry if this is not looked to kindly on.

Been using this for ages, had it when I had my i9000 and now on my sgs2.

It ran good on the sgs1 but is fantastic on the sgs2.

Ive not come a cross a great extra drain on the battery.

I love the custom widgets built in to this my favourite widget has to be the sms widget with its sexy scrolling.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] parthiv_2011:
Good launcher, but..

I have used most of the launchers (all paid versions)..

SPB is cool and fast, but less customisable, lacks good widgets, Center button in dock bar looks cheap. Battery consumption is high... Application drawer looks very very dirty...

MY CHOICE OF LAUNCHERS...

TouchwizHome (Current) > Go Launcher > SPB > Claystone > Nemus Launcher...

I hate TSF shell 3d..

Best suited for galaxy S2 is TouchwizHome (flashable)

It features 5 icons in dock, 4 of which can be changed to our choice.

Homescreen transition is subtle but very very smooth

Apps and widgets to be accessed from App drawer which is also okay.

Choosing of homescreen possible from the screen preview mode

Icons are all stock samsung.(which is good for SGS2)

Amazing performance.. Quadrant fetches me higher scores on TWHome than stock Twlauncher..

WILL NEVER CHANGE back to any other launcher...

For 3d crazy fellows, options are

1. Claystone - Stunning layout and navigation (stacks in 3d style), reminds techno movies, 3d zoomin and zoomout style homescreen transitions

2. SPB shell 3d

3. Tsf shell

Somebody please hit thanks once. Just want to change thanks meter from 0 to atleast 1...

Better use ADW launcher, tried the Shell launcher, battery drained massively.:mad:

hello TO everybody. I am a :( :( :( owner of an transformer tf101 3gB70

Momently not rootable

I've post every day after the purchase of my asus tf b70 on the official asus site on facebook until they have banned me only because i have made them a few question about the locked bootloader and how to get root acces TO use some apps like titanium backup

So i invite you all users and non users of an tf B70 TO post on their site and other socialnetworks To release a tool TO get root on ouer tf b70 and invite them(ASUS) TO follow others that are providing devices with lower costs but are developer free!!

So one day we get root on the transformer too!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rapman172003:
It can be a solution but I think it's not enough while if u are thinking about how many people bought transformer and how many people want to be able to root their device there is too much difference. Just for example from 800000 sold transformer maybe 2000-3000 wants to root it. The rest is very pleased with their stock rom. This is just what I think nothing more. From the other part why not can the manufacturers monitorize XDA like forums and even include scripts and other good things which can improve their device performance. Yeah it's like an ideal world of user-developer-manufacturer community which, I think, we will never see. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
Understandy your feeling and I've rooted all android phones I've had.but I think stock transformer works pretty good...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrmenta:
Are all B70 non rootable? Because mines is B70KAS... and I used brk.rootkit.ww.v6.3 for root (and adding clockwork, busybox and superuser) and Clemsyn-Blades3.2OCver21 (with voodoo module) for overclock.

Everything worked perfect.

PD: Shipped with Android 3.1, and updated to 3.2 before rooting. WW Version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Asus change the SBK mid way in July so some early B7O are rootable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KenifJambo:
I've rooted 2 android phones and another tablet (creative ziio) but to be honest I feel little need with the TF.

It has no real annoying stock apps and everything seems to be working ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Von Ropen:
I have a non rootable b70, but I hoppe devs will unlook it, its a matter of time...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tuborg68:
What are the obvious advantages in rooting the tf101? Any new functionality?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lukacs.attila:
With one word? Freedom!

You can install custom ROMs, remove system apps, you can overclock your CPU. Just a few things...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chrism_scotland:
I've still swithering between this the Xoom, Playbook or just waiting for something new but I'd echo the comments about the stock ROM being really good, theres actually plenty of folk who use the Asus Widgets (weather, email) on their non asus tablets because they look really good!

I think the Transformer with the keyboard already supplies most of the functionality that some of the others need rooted for (USB connection for flashdrives/hard discs), however if I do get one I'd like to be able to root for the overclock and ability to use a 3G USB Modem,
[Eee Pad Transformer General] realdope:
If you find it ok to have your tab stock !

Try to use titanium backup or the stock browser ho is closing itself during typing until it forces to close:(

After a month of use asus finally decided to release an update

But if we got root the problem was resolved a long time ago in other custom rom on xda fo the transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Riley1524:
I hope the one I have coming from newegg isn't the latest B70. I'm sure I would be satisfied for awhile with a stock TF, but I hack everything I buy when it comes to phones, tablets, and computers LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
I'm. Scouring through my area to find a B60 not easy...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kriEv:
i just bought a B80, it was a new model number and everything, i knew i couldnt root it right now. im fine with that, this thing is very fast and performs very well.

I can wait the month or 2 it will take to hack the new key.

This is my first tablet and im happy i was patient enough to wait for something as good as this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wdustin1:
Very happy with my transformer no reason to root yet,

Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier
[Eee Pad Transformer General] will8578:
i got a tf yesterday, even tho i new not ti get a b70, i ended up with 1, stock rom is awesome, imo, but the roms that the devs make on these forums are so much awesomer lol, looking forward to getting rooted and flashing revolver rom, ta
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
I just got a B80 model as well and am quite happy with it. I can't wait for root though for overclocking and custom tweaks. Hopefully it's not too far down the road!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Incoe:
I have a B70 but i also cant root it. So i must wait with the stock rom (its quit nice) but i want root and i WANT a custom rom on it.. damn sh*t....:mad: :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wdtj:
Forgive my ignorance, where do I find this B70?

I just bought my TF. I looked through the settings About and not seeing anything indicating the hardware version (which is what B70 refers to, right?). Where do I find this.

I'm not out to root my TF (yet), I plan on doing app development and so far have not needed any root privileges.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
Look for a sticker next to the power/dock connector on the tablet. It will have a serial number beginning with "B". So the second digit will indicate which revision you have.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thrillhouse847:
It refers to the serial number which can be found on the bottom of the device and, I believe, somewhere on the box as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ppirate:
Some good reasons for root:

Adbwireless

tun.ko

HideBar

Remap keyboard back to esc
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
Is this the current way to root the MT4GS?

If not, would someone please post a link?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
But why?!?

The Qualcomm CPU should kick ass. (Granted, it might not be faster than the Exynos in SGII but it shouldn't be MUCH slower) The GPU is also on par, if not faster than the Mali and Tegra GPU...

So why do my Benchmark scores kinda suck? My Tegra2 powered 7 inch tablet usually gets way better scores than my Evo3D... On some benchmarks it's even noticably behind LG Optimus 2X and similar phones that it should be AT LEAST on par with, if not faster...

Is it only the ROM that's at fault here or what's going on? What benchmark scores do the rest of you get? Smartbench, Antutu, Quadrant, CF Bench and all the rest of them?

(And yes, the phone is smooth enough in everyday use. And benchmarks don't mean everything, but it DOES mean something...)
[HTC EVO 3D] justj:
It only means anything if all you do is bench testing on your phone. Try play games, watch films and take some picture with youe phone instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
The mal 400 is way faster than anything else in android phones.

Never the less, nothing comes close to taxing the 3d processor or go. So don't worry about benches.
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
What more do you really need out of EVO3D benches to see that with the right ROM, and not having 46 widgets and livewallpaper running in the background, you can get some pretty nice scores:

View attachment 736839

View attachment 736842

View attachment 736844

Various roms, kernels, no telling really what at the time, but pretty much in line. There's something wrong with the Rom you're on, or your setup if you can't get good benches with this phone, IMHO.

What ROM, kernel, are you running, and what's a 'bad' score in your book?

<<Robotron 2084 = Perfection>>
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
I love it when people jizz over benchmark scores. Like justj said, try some apps, games, and movies. If they run fantastically, then you're phone is running great, and you don't need to worry about silly benchmark numbers.

Real Use >>>>>>> Benchmarks
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Ah, thank you... I'll turn off everything but the benchmarking app, and get back to you with the scores... As for "bad score" well, I'd expect it to beat my tablet (Tegra2, 1024*600 resolution) as well as the LG 2X, Atrix, Optimus 3D, and most of the newer phones on the market, really. Which it at present doesn't do. It gets beaten by the Nexus S in some benchmarks!

Video and games and so on run pretty fast and smooth, so overall I'm happy and don't place TOO much weight on benchmarks. I just find it odd, because benchmarks to certain degree DO reflect real world performance.

I'll get back to you with scores and which ROM etc. Off the top of my head, I remember it's running 2.3.4 Rogers ROM...
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Didn't know you had a GSM phone.... Those are capped at 80% of potential speed by the Canadian Government.

(Nah, j/k).

Good luck on outbenchmarking the LG2X... (you'll need it). Benchmarks can't save a bad phone, but if they could, that's where they'd start. I've seen multiple screens from multiple Lg2x users running CM7 with Quadrant Standard scores of over 5K. That's insane.

We'll probably never see that on an EVO3D, but it doesn't matter, because ultimately, the LG2X isn't half the phone at the end of the day.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit: If your tablet happens to be a Viewsonic Gtab, well, forget that notion as well. That basically is at the top of every benchmark 'top scores' list.

I've got one.

Is it fast?

Incredibly fast.

Would I trade it right now for a "slower" tablet that was a "better" tablet?

You betcha.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Righty o...

I could always upload screenshots later if you think that might be a good idea, but here are some scores:

Antutu: 4442, which puts it behind both the S2, the Optimus 2X and the Motorola Xoom (!?!)

Nenamark 2 reported a somewhat respectable 25.6.

Smartbench 2011 (Supposedly the only benchmark suite that takes dualcore into consideration): Productivity: 2397 Games: 1650

(Which is behind the Transformer Tab and Atrix in both categories, and even behind the Nexus S and Galaxy S in Games)

Quadrant:1491 (Just ahead of Moto Droid X and Nexus One at 1250!)

Devicemark: 1325 (Equal to Desire HD, but behind the Atrix and LG 2X)

CF Bench: 8740, 1364, 4314 (Way behind both the Atrix and the Sensation?!)

I think that's it as far as the benchmarks I ran. I can upload the screenshots if you think it might help. As for the phone, it's a Rogers phone with the 2.3.4 Gingerbread, HTC software: 1.20.631.2

(BTW: What does "SMP PREEMPT" mean in the Kernel version?!?)
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
And no, the tablet is an Iconia A100. Zippy little thing, though I don't understand how it can run corners around my Evo with a Tegra CPU and more pixels to push...
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
There is something seriously wrong. The least you should be getting is around 2000-2500.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Yeah, I turned off background apps, etc. What scores do people with the Rogers ROM usually get? Would backing up and then a full restore to factory settings help?

I'm rooted btw, but didn't install an alternate rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
No question that the gs2 benches well but after having one for a couple days I missed my 3d..I trade benches for a smooth and usable UI ..but ocd I can beat the gs2 in every bench app there is ..I never felt the supposed increase in speed that the epic has ..the 3d opened my apps faster and was more stable using games that utilized the gyro ie homerun baseball 3d ..almost unplayable on the gs2..our phones have plenty of power either way we have plenty of power on tap
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Nope. Quadrant seems about right from what I remember with the Rogers ROM. Not much better with LeeDroid either.

Might have to do with the inability of GSM devs to tweak the kernel and overclock as HTC messed up the board files in the kernel sources they released for the GSM.
[HTC EVO 3D] ceyo14:
This is what I've got with aosp oc...
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Oooh... I'm VERY interested in the A100... I'm actually going to Best Buy today, as they finally have them in stock @~300$... But they have the Flyer as well at the same price...

The a100 IS sporting a dual-core Tegra2 A9 processor, is it not?

And since HC 3.2 in a brand-new device is probably optimized better, speed-wise, I, for one, would expect it to out-perform the 3d in a benchmark test, even @ 1000Mhz.

How do you like the A100, overall?

EDIT: WHOOPS, Sorry dude... If I had noticed you were using drocap or whatever I would've understood your need to dropbox it.

(whatevs, no biggie, lol.. Nice scores.. Which Rom/kernel combo is that, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm gonna just guess and say that's an OC'd aosp rom.

Yes?
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
I actually really like it! When I was in the store, I let all the tablets do a sunspider test, and the A100 actually came out ahead of everybody, even the iPad2, so it IS a zippy little fella.

Anything in particular you'd like to know? The two cameras are just fine, the few times I used them for anything else than a webcam, they did the job fine.

Speakers are great and really loud. The screen is a bit on the dim side, but turning off the auto light in settings take care of that. It's really comfortable to hold, even for extended periods of time, even if the plastic might make it feel and look less than a premium product.

Batterylife is kinda meh, I usually don't get more than 5 hours out of it, but then again it's pretty rare that I take it somewhere where there isn't a charger around. The only thing I can think off that would require your tab to be on for 5 hours is a plane trip, and even most of those have chargers these days ;)

The only caveat I would have, is that as a Evo3D owner a 7 inch screen might be a bit too small. I mean the difference between 7 and 4.3 inches isn't that big in daily use, and after getting the Evo I kinda find the 7 inch screen a bit on the small side. Might just be me though. If I had to choose any tablet today, I think I'd go for the Galaxy. The 10 inch size is just right, and it weighs pretty much the same as the A100, and since getting a tablet I've found out that weight means more in terms of portability than just size.

The only other thing I've found to be annoying would probably also apply to the Flyer: There aren't too many tablet apps available as it is, and the few tablet apps there are, aren't always compatible with 7 inch tabs. There are way more apps and games available for 10 inch tablets.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Oh yeah, one more thing: The A100 is super easy too root. Took me like 5 mins. But the support for it is pretty poor. There's like no ROMs available for it at all, which I find really weird. Not yet anyways, but hopefully it'll gain some devs...
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
BTW, I posted this somewhere else, and you may already know this trick, but if you wanna "revert your UI to Gingerbread" on an HC tablet (I did.... Just not into HC yet), and since you've already rooted, if you change your density to 171 (or above) , it will revert the ui to GB, (something you might be more used to, or like better) , while maintaining compatibility with those 3.0 apps.

<<work in progress>>
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
You guys do know that the dual core in the EVO 3D is asynchronous. Which in turn should turn out lower scores. This is how this phone manages tasks. When you run your favorite benchmark test the program recognizes that the phone is dual core but the EVO pushes the quadrant test to only one of the cores while the other core runs every other process on the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Yup, i feel the phone fine I dont need quadrant score to know my fast is fast tho
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Thanks Ray, but is that also true for CF bench? I remember seeing somewhere that it ran its test using both?

Is that correct?

<<work in progress>>
[HTC EVO 3D] aweskelo:
held an Samsung GS2 yet? way faster and smoother UI than the 3D.

Even with all the apps and widgets removed and/or turned off, the SGS2 looks way better than my 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I had the same issue with my m11x with the i7. It at first didnt do well in benchmarks until somone wrote a program called Throttlestop. It sets the cpu throttle so its at max 100% of the time when used. This was great, the laptop started to show its true colors in bechmarks and gave a nice boost in games.

Perhaps a dev could read up on Throttlestop and create something comparable for the 3d.

[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Look, bro.. There's about a jillion other places to go with that tired, old, SGS2 vs. Evo3d drama.

We've all seen it.

I, for one, do not welcome another rehash of all that.

(and I have both, btw.)

<<.....loading......>>
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Meh, I find fanboys of any kind infantile... And as nice as the Galaxy2 is, and I'll probably get one next week to have besides my Evo3D, sorry the UI isn't more smooth or faster than on the Evo.

Besides, If you really want smooth UI there's still nothing that can beat the iPhone ...
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Nobody has mentioned the most important point. SENSE is responsible for low benchmark scores and has been since the EVO 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
That's nonsense. Sorry...

Now in SOME cases it might be true, but both CF Bench and Smartbench 2011 are designed to measure both cores, asynchronous or not.

Also, I didn't get under half the performance of a Galaxy2 or Atrix, which I would get if it had only measured one core. I got a result way worse than other leading phones, but not 50% worse. So it DID measure both cores. All modern benchmarks do that. Ill upload my results a little later, and try to see what scores it'll get in Browser mark and Sunspider.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
All in all benchmarks are not always accurate, but if you guys are getting ****ty scores its probably user error. Not to mention what freeza mentioned up above.

Save the fanboi attitudes for somebody who cares, eh?

Now back to my Evo3D I just ran Sunspider a couple of times, and the best result I got was 6768... That sounds kinda low, especially cause my Iconia tab usually gets between 2100-2200.

What kind of results do others in here usually get in Sunspider?

[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Here's some of my benchmarks... Now surely we can all agree that a brand new, barely rooted Evo shouldn't be this slow?!?

If it was only the Galaxy 2 getting way better scores I wouldn't think it was abnormal, but lower than an Optimus 2X, Atrix AND Desire HD for crying out loud?!?

Not to mention, all of the reviews of the Evo that I've seen mentioned benchmarks way higher than these...
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
And here's a couple more... I'd be curious to hear what benchmarks other owners of the Rogers Evo get...
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Look at all the garbage you have running. Are you really that surprised?
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Eh what garbage?!? I turn off all unnecessary apps and programs when I run these things... The only thing running in the background in one of the screenshots is Skype, which shouldn't make that big of a difference.

Heh, actually just ran Antutu again, this time making sure that Skype was turned off, and the result was the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Ah, now I get it... You thought that those icons in the status bar were running downloads, eh? It isn't. Just old downloads that I haven't bothered to clear. Nothing running except for Skype in a couple of them. As I said, I make sure to turn off any running apps when I run a Benchmark.

(And even if I didn't it shouldn't make that big of a difference thanks to Androids excellent task-handling and multitasking!)
