iOS 5 is clearly better optimised than Android 2.3 in most benchmarks.... Especially in browser-related tests like JavaScript benches. However, we'll see how 4.0 handles as 3.0 on tablets is a lot closer to iOS benchmarked on similar hardware. And not all CPUs perform the same at the same clockspeed. Do you really think a dual core Atom (simple, in order core, limited cache and bandwidth and less execution units) performs the same as an i3 (complex, out-of-order core with loads of cache, loads of bandwidth and lots of execution units) at the same clock, for example? In fact, the reason I choce this particular comparison is it's an extreme with CPUs sharing the x86 instruction set; the i3 would be more than twice as fast in most cases.

CPU performance depends on a lot of things; for example the number of execution units inside capable of a given operation, pipeline length, cache optimisations, memory bandwidth, bus speeds, the efficiency of the instruction resceduler (for out of order CPUs) and a number of other factors. Even CPUs with the same cores (like ARM's A9 for example) can perform differently - some (like Ti's OMAP) have dual channel memory whereas Tegra 2, for example is constrained to a single channel, although this is much more likely to affect GPUs (which are also integrated and share memory bandwidth with the CPU) than CPUs with current cores. The CPU cores in Snapdragon S3, particularly, perform quite differently (a little worse in most cases) than other current-gen dual-core ARM chips due to their use of Qualcomm's Scorpion CPU core (which is an arm v7l chip compatible with, but not identical to an A8 - a single Scorpion is faster than a single A8 due to partial out-of-order support but the more complete out-of-order support and shorter instruction pipeline means A9 will perform better per core at the same clock than Snapdragons.)

And that's before we even mention instruction set extensions like NEON and SSE - when running code which is optimised for and can take advantage of these (which tend to be media-related apps like video encoding) you could end up with orders of magnitude difference in performance. The implementation of Sandy Bridges AVX extensions allow them to double performance at the same clock in linpack benchmarks versus the previous generation 'Nehalem' based chips for example.

Oh, and SGX543MP2 isn't just a tad faster than anything we have in Android hardware at the moment, it's A LOT faster, especially given that A5 uses dual channel memory and everything we have bar the TI OMAP 4 with its aging (though fast-clocked) SGX540 is single channel. Also bear in mind that the iPhone 4/s GPU is dealing with a 960x640=614,400 pixel display whereas many high-end Android devices (GSII for example) are still only packing 800x480 displays with 384,000 pixels and the GPU has to do a lot more work to render 60% more pixels! - be careful when comparing benchmarks!
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
I have in no way stated anything contrary to you post, I simply stated facts. You started out yourself by noting that ios is clearly more optimized than android 2.3 and that is completely in line with what i said. But it's still a fact that the system does not utilize the processing power as such any better than android.

You specifically mention browser related tests like sunspider, which by the way is quite overused when comparing processing power, as it's much better at what it's actually meant to do(test javascript performance). A proof of this is the following picture: http://i.imgur.com/U4ywm.png By Adamg testing a new version of v8(javascrip engine) in desire running gingerbread(proving that this has little to do with android optimization and more to do with the actual javascript engine). That is actually quite a bit better than the ios browser with the a5. In spite of this, this specific test is still used to compare the chipsets on many common tech sites. So no ios is not better optimized than android for eg. javascript performance, apple's just better at keeping some components updated.

And ending this discussion i'd like to introduce you to a thing called slang in which you are not supposed to directly interpret a word like tad in a technical way and try to disprove it ;)

I'd go for the nexus.... Looks sublime, bitt big though eh? No need for phones that size really... Keeping an eye out for smaller, desire sized badboy!
[Desire General] Azurael:
How did you expect me to respond given that your statement amounted to a claim that all 1.2GHz CPUs are equal? If you knew that not to be the case, then why'd you say it?!
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
I did not expect anything..

And in no way did I state that.. please do read my previous post properly.

My statement still stands as true as it has ever been..
[Desire General] Azurael:
Well, okay, that's how I read it, and I think how most native English speakers would have interpreted it.... Sorry.

I mean yes, 1.2 billion cycles per second at 1.2GHz is obviously true, but your post implies that in itself it relevant to CPU performance, at no point did you make the assertion that you were comparing A9s to A9s. You said 'A dualcore 1.2 ghz processor contains exactly 2 cores capable of exactly 1.2 billion cycles per second.' not 'a pair of Cortex A9s at 1.2GHz is precisely 50% faster than a pair of Cortex A9s at 800MHz'. From a reader's point of view, it was an Apples to Oranges comparison. Literally :p

Now, as I said, I'm sorry for misinterpreting you. Therefore my rant was utterly irrelevant and a waste of forum space. I've no doubt people will now start jumping on the bandwagon of 'I understood it perfectly, you're a moron Azurael' - well, such is life when you're a idiot like me :) I think we can put our differences behind us... for science... you monster.

Edit: Oh, an GLBenchmark's offscreen rendering @ 720P is great; it allows us to directly compare GPU performance across devices with differing screen res (although maybe this is slightly irrelevant as the device is going to be driving its own screen and thats what really matters to the user.)

But that's not a 'tad' faster. Clock-for-clock, it's a LOT faster. Although interpretations of 'a tad' may vary ;) Oh, and did you see, ULP GeForce is teh suck compared to other 'current gen' mobile GPUs... Except it seems to handle flash video a lot better than anything else!

Hello everyone :)

I wanted to post here my new application, a Widget that you can find for free on the Android Market that gives yoou a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich (soon I'll make some more apps as well ;) )

Feedbacks are very welcome, the more feedbacks I receive, the more I can improve my apps :)

You can find the app here.

Feel free to Donate if you think I'm doing a good work :)

I'll install Launcher Pro on mine and let you know what I find out... could you remind me the SGS2 resolution, please?

I can confirm that it's not working on Launcher Pro or QQLauncher, while it is working on GO Launcher EX and ADW with any resolution. Now I have only to undertand why... I'll test something and let you know as soon as I can! Thanks for the feedbacks!

Tiwiz
[Android Apps and Games] Ultro:
On Launcher Pro Plus and my resolution is 480x800.
[Android Apps and Games] tiwiz:
Ah ok, I found the mistake. Apparently, LauncherPro and QQLauncher base themselves on the DPI value of theI got it working on the Dual by changing the layout of the widget so that it scales with the DPIs and now it works. I'll make it work on SGS2 between today and tomorrow. (Delay due to work time :( ). If you get to any other device onto which is not working, let me know the device and I'll fix it :)

[Android Apps and Games] optimiss:
Thanks for making this! The thickness of the lines making up the box are a bit too thick. It should be more like 2px wide as opposed to the 5px or so you have now. Otherwise it is awesome!

Oh yeah, it also should not go all the way to the screen edges. There should be a gap on each side.
[Android Apps and Games] optimiss:
I made this image with desktop visualizer if you would like to use it. It is pretty much pixel perfect (well as close as you can get considering it is scaling from 1280x720 to 800x480).

I had to cut out the mic icon so it has a bit of dark line around it still. I am trying to find a vector to use. Might have to draw it from scratch. :/

Hello everyone,

and thanks for the feedbacks! I posted a new version on the market, with a thinner outline and I tested out on SGS2 as well. For the Nexus S... I hope it works, if it doesn't, just post something here and I'll fix it. Looks like Samsung likes to mess around with DPIs, but now I found out the way (I should, at least) and I should be able to fix it for every device you want to :)

I also inserted a gap on both sides and studying if to put a gap even on the top... what do you think?

Thanks for your future feedback!

hi guys

doese anybody know that where is the "touch screen position" option ???

it was very good option till ver. 10.57 and able us to change the touchable button , for example " L1 , L2 " to bottom , right ...

but how can to change it on 10.58 ???????????????/:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JM43:
When you select change button position/size it will take you to the game screen. There you physically drag the onscreen buttons where you want and change the size. Then press back and it will say the option has been set or something.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi.moha:
thank you JM , but the issue is on Ver. 10.58

setting ==> input ==> touchscreen ==> here :

till ver 10.57 , ther was button and position here that you can able and change the position for eacj button here.

but from ver 1.58 , just you can check/uncheck to active/disactive the buttons . you can't change any position for theme !:confused:

for example when you enable "draw button 2 (( L1 - L2 )) " , it just enable , you aren't able to move the position to top , righ , left ... :confused:

can you please help me on this case ?
