[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vettesfan:
I Have been attempting to reinstall cm7 to internal on my NC. I have been following the instructions on nookdevs.com that I have used previously. They have always worked great for me, and I have been up and running in mere minutes. This time however I have had issues finding the version of win32diskimager that I need and the correct version of CWR for my 8gb Microsd. Anyone got any advice on where to find the correct files. The links on Nookdevs did not work for me.

Thanks in Advance!!!

...so I flashed this ROM the other day just to check it out...I flashed it when it was brand new and had tons of issues & now it's been a few weeks...and still has tons of different issues.

the "devs" (not sure if they are devs or not) posted they want feedback about the ROM...

well, to be honest after over 1 month of working on a ROM it should work....somewhat correctly at least...so I posted that I was "still having alot of FC issues" that was my feedback...and I got holy hell for it....

why ask for feedback & bugs that users find if you don't like what people say???

I mean the damn thing deletes ALL apps when you reboot, reboots every time you try to use Terminal Emulator, video don't work, camera sometimes works but only in portrait, music player FCs, says you have 300+MBs storage but then says "low storage" after installing 10 apps from the market, crazy lag+freezes...

...and those are the ones I can remember offhand....I mean I'm no developer, but goddamn...if you make something that you want people to use at least make the thing useable...these devices ain't cheap and to load something that bricks your phone would be a real *****!!

maybe it's just me...maybe my expectations are way to high...I mean, maybe I'm wrong for wanting something that works halfway decent...

I know making custom ROMs is mad hard & takes loads & loads of time to do and I respect the devs who take their time & argue with the wife & ignore tons of other **** just to get their ROMs working, but when you ask for feedback you shouldn't get mad...especially when someone wasn't at all rude or ignorant when giving the feedback....

from now on I guess it's better to let people figure everything out for themselves...now I know why people post links instead of answering questions...
[EVO 4G General] the_scotsman:
Welcome to xda :p:D

Nah, I see this time and time again...it's unfortunate. I can see the devs point of view sometimes, but if they ask for feedback, they have to expect good and bad, otherwise, what's the point, right?
[EVO 4G General] spyd312:
IMO, if you provide feedback in a way that's constructive (ex. 300+MB left, but I receive a message stating that I'm low. Please fix) without bashing or name calling, then the dev should accept it and improve their work. That's the only way things can be fixed, by reporting it as an issue.

[EVO 4G General] broad_st_bully:
AGREED. but then again some people are just......assholes...for lack of a better word.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
lol i get hell everytime I give feedback...the fanboys usually jump on your back saying the problem is on your end.. They tend to be the same people that says "the rom is PERFECT" with no issues when there are a lot.
[EVO 4G General] broad_st_bully:
BAHAHAHA!!!

that's funny you said that....I saw one "cheerleader" post in caps-lock that the ROM was "better than life itself!!!!!"....and the ROM was in beta1...out for like 2 days...the power button was pretty much the only thing working correctly....literally...

but I forget ALOT of the time...most of the nonsense & backwards stuff posted on [all] forums are usually little kids...still ignorant, not house-broken yet and don't know the difference between complementing and d*ck-eatin'...LOL....

now I just mind my own business...:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamie_Edwards:
OK, this will be the last question(s) from a noob.

Here's the thing. I recently rooted my X8, installed xRecovery, and also installed Busybox.

I want to install a new custom rom onto my phone and I have searched everywhere for an answer (of which there are many. But very contradictive of each other).

Here are my questions:

Do I have to go back to 1.6 to get the new rom, or can I stay on my current 2.1?

Do I have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery to install the custom rom (which is CM6)?

If the above is true, then how do I put it on my phone after I have already have xRecovery?

How do I get the rom installed on my phone using xRecovery?

And finally. The intended roms zip file says something along the line of update-froyobread.zip. Do I have to install the original CM6 rom on first and then put the intended rom on after? Or can I just install the rom by itself?

I know this question is very noobish but I hope you can be patient and help me...

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazeyaz:
first you din´t need to go back to 1.6

second you not need cwm recovery

and about the rom you need to follow the instructions in the post of the rom

and you need baseband finished in 15

Does the 3d have the power to possibly run a ps2 emulator?

[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Of course, it can run Crysis at 37 fps...
[HTC EVO 3D] YoMaMa7467:
Crysis! Where!
[HTC EVO 3D] Ace42:
Having a dual core doesn't give make it able, emulation requires very high-end hardware. People with Quad-Cpus can't always get 60FPS and those are ahead of the Snapdragon. And I don't think a emu for it is available for Android yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
It probably can run the same graphics, any good recommendations for hi def graphics games in the market ? The best looking game I have played in a mobile device is infinity blade for iPhone is amazing what epic developers did with it, I know is unreal engine but great I wish they would develop for android tho
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
I was just curious as im no tech genius. I know the n64 emu runs good and at one point a guy had android running a dreamcast emu and that was before all the new dual core cpus now.

[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
You can pretty much run an emu on whatever device... What comes into question is the quality of playing...

Can you run it and actually "play" a game smoothly.. and fps does relate to smoothness other stuff comes into play tho too,

[HTC EVO 3D] harpss1ngh:
Won't be able to.

PS2 had some complicated hardware, very difficult to emulate correctly on different architectures. It's so complicated it's taken years for a decent one for the PC, which works ok but not that great, and this is on a quad core 64-bit machine with a decent gfx card, both of which Android devices do not have.

Don't expect any possible development for it to work well on current devices, dual core or not, it requires a lot of power and serious coding to emulate the PS2 architecture which was complicated to say the least.
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
Well I read somewhere that someone is working on a gamecube & Wii emulator for android & said everything is goin great. Now if we can emulate those 2 why can't we emulate ps2 I would think those would be hard to emulate. I also have to find where I read it at & I will post it here.

Happy .. Happy .. Happy ..

I can now ditched Opera Mobile .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragooon123:
Hell, it's "finally, hardware accelerated UI!".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Lmao. Late to the party. One of the requirements of ICS is hardware acceleration of 2d elements of the ui/os. Its about f'in time google.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
I was hoping some of the browser controls would be at the bottom of the screen since it'll make browsing with one hand easier kinda like in opera mobile, reaching the top tab button will be a pita with your thumb with such a tall screen..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Is scrolling hardware accelerated too? One of the main reasons I liked samsung devices is because of the amazinh smooth scrolling.

Between the click of the light and the start of a dream.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinMArchibald:
The scrolling and pinching/zooming looks pretty quick and smooth.

I'd like to see the results of a SGS2 browser test ran the Galaxy Nexus: open a bunch of pages with flash videos playing at the same time (I think there were over 10), and then zoom/pinch one of them. The SGS2 handled that without lag. I'd like to see the HTML5 and Flash results from the GUIMark3 benchmark, too.

The Sunspider result is 1983ms (vs. 3385ms for SGS2, smaller is better) and the V8 version 6 result is 1387 (vs. 336 for SGS2, larger is better), so that bodes well for browsing on the Galaxy Nexus.

[Q] GPU rendering (smoooth scrolling) in Browser

Hi,

I can't find info whether Google implemented GPU scrolling in ICS ala iOS or Samsung in their latest 2.3.4+ firmwares for GS and GS2?

That's only thing that's keeping me away from AOSP (CM7 now), but if it's in the ICS now, I wouldn't care about Samsung abandoning SG1.

If anyone has NG, please try. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
From the videos I've seen, the whole os is hardware accelerated including the browser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Everything OS-wise is supposed to be 2D Hardware Accelerated according to the Android Code release page. However, it might be more sluggish compared to the SGS2, as they're both Hardware-Accelerated, but the SGS2 is only pushing 480*800 while the Nexus coming in at 1280*720.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinMArchibald:
The British tech blog, The Inquirer, posted a short review of the Galaxy Prime. This is what it had to say about performance:

"We certainly noticed the speed when browsing the web and opening apps, but we did notice a slight lag when changing the orientation of the device."

The article doesn't mention if the review device was running 4.01 that had the fix for video stuttering and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
You'd be surprised how little power is required to perform full 2D acceleration. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eattheirdead:
In Android Central's quick look video of the Galaxy Nexus that was posted today, the narrator mentions that the entire device is hardware accelerated multiple times.

I can't post links yet, but you can find the video embedded in the 4th story on the second page of Android Central. Likewise, you can search YouTube for "galaxy nexus, today" (without the quotes) and it's the first video.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaid:
I've just seen the video at the AndroidCentral.com. The browser is fast, but the point is not how

quick

you can scroll the page (it is quick), but how

smooth

is the actuall scrolling. If you saw iOS in personal (or Samsung 2.3.5+ firmwares for SGS1/SGS2) compared to AOSP, you'd know what I'm talking about.

No smooth browsing as I can see so far, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjtj4444:
How do you expect to see 60fps smoothness on a heavily compressed 30 fps video?

And it's getting worse since there is no vsync between phone display and camera when recording the video (of course).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaid:
Do you see on the long webpage partial appearing of the page while scrolling on sgs2? On NG?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
Have you ever tried Opera Mobile? Even on my SGS it has amazing performance, and you don't see parts of the webpage only render correctly after a delay. It's all 60FPS and rendered right away.

These guys beat Samsung and Google for performance. Only issue is their browser takes a few seconds to start up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
From this video I would say the scrolling in the browser is quite smooth. I had a SGS II before so I have the comparison.

Go watch the video. Look how very smooth scrolling is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peacekeeper05:
Yes. Scrolling and pinch to zoom is finally smooth. Probably the best among any other phone OS out there :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jay_993:
No its quite different. Scrolling on sgs is smooth. But it feels so different to the heavier feeling scrolling on sgs2. Until one tries you never know whether its "butter smooth" or not lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrewCial:
None have surpassed the iphone's overall smoothness and accuracy since its introduction (imo), so Im VERY curious how smooth the galaxy nexus/ICS will be in practice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaid:
Samsung implemented iphone way of scrolling in SGS2 and backported the feature to SGS1 browser in firmwares starting from JVQ (2.3.4 if I remember well). People are not aware about this.

And this video doesn't prove that we are going to see this feature on ICS.

Please, don't mention Opera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaid:
lol, no.

lol, no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jay_993:
The funny thing is the scrolling feels the same with miui on sgs2? Or am I on crack? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
The browsing looking really impressive, however going from portrait to landscape and vice versa looks to be a little slow. That's a nitpick I've had since my WM days.

None of it matters once this phone is released, however. It's going to have massive developer support and most of the issues people are whining about will disappear with custom kernels, ect.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rythmyc:
Yep, looks like fail button pressing to me as well. Notice how he had to move the screen to get the buttons to show up again before he hit home again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ptscon:
I think it's made to take that long so you don't accidentally start flipping things around when you don't really want to. I'm sure they could make it flip much faster but decided to give it a delay.

Gallery app takes just as long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peacekeeper05:
If that is not smooth then i don't know what smooth is. I am an ex iphone 4 user so it's easy for me to compare.and i hate iphone's browsing. Always freezing on heavy sites.

0.22 WHEN he was trying to scroll in the multitask menu.

0.30 i see a small delay when he starts scrolling in the multitask menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheSonicEmerald:
Just a note, I thought the browser fluidity was more based on the implemention of a caching store, not exactly GPU acceleration, according to Anandtech.

Sent from my Fascinate with MIUI Gingerbread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgrimberg:
So just now with ics, android is finally at the same level as ios. It took years for the google engineers to develop gpu acceleration?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Nope.. it's been done in android before - Samsung had some phones that did it..

It's just taken this long to mandate its use. Which is quite understandable when you have to be able to support £50 phones which don't have much of a GPU to speak of as well as £500 uber phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hikarugo:
Well, my GS2's browser is smoother.

Agree. That's how the iPhone's browser is smooth. It stores caches and use that cache while zooming so that the smoothness will be like zooming an image in thw gallery app. Not like android which still render while zooming
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgrimberg:
So I will have to view webpages on a Droid 3 as if I have a cheap $50 phone just because google thought that one size fits all was a better policy? That's mediocre thinking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Galaid:
Iphone creates a picture of the webpage and you were right, it scrolls em smooth as in the gallery app. When you reach the boundary of the rendered picture, it quickly rerenders the rest of the page from the cache. From the movies, it's still not in Aosp, only in samsung stock roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
There are checker boards which indicates GPU acceleration.

On my SGS1 running 2.3.6, I have underclocked the phone to 200MHz and scrolling on endgadget desktop site is buttery smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This browser is GPU accelerated as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
I know, but it is HEAVILY UNOPTIMIZED compared to samsung's android browser(s).

Pinch to zoom and scrolling on samsung browser when loading/loaded is pure fluidity!, it is comparable to my iPod touch. Checkerboards and slight blurs are only visible for a second before displaying content in detail.

With android 4.0, pinch to zoom shutters and lags even when page is fully loaded (don't even talk about pinch to zoom or scrolling when the page is loading).

Checkerboards = solid colours are visible for a FEW seconds and blurs for an extra second or two before displaying content in detail. Scrolling lags as well as pinch to zoom, site is does not even displayed properly, i.e, one or two articles are missing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
My browser feels plenty fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
Get a hands on of either an iOS device or Flagship Samsung device with stock ROM.

You will get the definition of what "fluid" means.

By fluid, I mean "no skip frames" or "microlag" AT ALL!!.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
.4 here. Browser is smooth. Smoother than gs2's I've played with. Haven't played with iPhones in a couple months.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I've had both but I'm really not seeing much of a difference. I'm not getting lag when pinch and zooming. Once in a while, yes. But for example this forum web page, nexus general, is smooth as can be scrolling and zooming. But I agree the sgs2 gpu was a better chip and prob smoother overall. But I can't see much of a difference in performance smoothness honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPhilo:
There is no way that the Galaxy Nexus browser is smoother than Galaxy S2, the Galaxy S2 incorporates a motion blur effect which makes the browser seem smoother compared to Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Well sorry to disappoint. No special effects or firecrackers here. My phone is smooth. Doesn't SEEM smooth, it IS smooth. I would tell any curious gs2 or iPhone owner to see how far android has come with a 4.0.4 update. Everything got smoother from running .2 and 384mhz gpu to .4 and 307. No over clocks whatsoever and -200mv or more under volts. Still smooth. And I've played with gs2's that were choppy as hell in browser and maps. Off a fresh boot. But for the most part they usually aren't like that. Anyways, I am going to go start the galaxy nexus challenge. Winners get jelly beans.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
"And I've played with gs2's that were choppy as hell in browser and maps", clearly you haven't even touched a Galaxy S2 in person and made bull**** up to back up AOSP which is why Android is still rather unoptimised.

We need people to be honest and google to fix lag issues for future builds.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

Its not with the GPU, SGS also has the same GPU as the Galaxy Nexus but at a lower clock speed. The once in a while lag is very annoying and what many of us hate is how android zooms in "level by level"

Here is what I mean by "micro lag", when flickering down a page on Galaxy Nexus there is visible "jitterlyness" and google needs to fix this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVn-u7MbB3E
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
lol. those gs2's were atnt gs2's. and then i've played with others. and i am being honest. my phone is smoother than a hot knife and butter. and really, i think the lagginess on .2 was leaning more on input lag rather than ui lag. but you can go back to the gs2 forums. they love people like you. :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

dude, take your 3 month old video to the gs2 forums. no micro lag, fluctuations, jitter, shakes, tourette here. play with a stock 4.0.4 gnex and experience the magic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
Honestly, everyone will say that their phone is faster "my 600mhz android 1.6 phone takes 20 seconds is faster that your 1.5 ghz quad core HTC one x loading the same app in 2 seconds". Tbh here everyone is a fanboy and fanboy like you defend their phone like a mother protecting a child.

And no, you should stop being a fanboy unless you have replaced your pair of eyes with 15fps shooters.

or if you were being sarcastic, its an exception
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
np, will do pretty soon on my friends one.

Mean while i am judging from cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah engadget can be heavy on browsers and had slightly less smoothness. But then the BBC test he did showed the nexus being just as smooth. And these are some heavier web pages. Load up this thread and see how smooth it is. And the nexus does have more pixels to handle. But yes on that engadget page the sgs2 was a hair smoother. You're making it sound as if its a blow out when they are so damn close. And maybe 4.0.4 gets even closer or future optomizations can get even closer.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

Actually I just went to engadget full desktop site and pinch zoomed and it didn't even perform like in that video. It acted like the sgs2 in terms of smoothness. Seems to have been improved to me. Someone should make some test videos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kharnage:
Is this the stock browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAndroid12:
Great! I can finally take nexus phone in consideration for my next phone ;-), btw i actually dislike touchwiz ui but bought galaxy device coz of smoothness a few months ago.

Btw I'd love to see a impression video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I have used both. Any other suggestions on how I can somehow invalidate my own experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You call people fanboys, and yet act like a a GS2 fanboy.

pot, meet kettle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wasn't comparing sizes if you know what I mean til you started with gs2 is be all end all comparison. I honestly think .2 was smooth as hell but touch drivers weren't optimized thus input lag and multi touch issues. Then .4 came along and maps is smooth as butter with no checkerboards or fancy effects. My browser has always been smooth except for the occasional heavy image webpages. Heck, even my laptop has occasional lag with heavy images web pages. With accelerated browser and way more powerful gpu. And btw, I'm not the guy with a gs2 in the galaxy nexus forum defending the other phone. It is persons like you in the gs2 forum that dissuaded me from getting a gs2 in the first place. You really should experience a stock nexus on the 4.0.4 update with a pure stock or close to stock kernel like me. That nonsense you brought up about motion blur to make it seem smoother is just plain dumb. I can pinch to zoom and scroll like a madman with no checkerboard, blur or redraw til my heart is content. And us making note of that fact doesn't make us fan boys. It makes us very happy that android has caught up finally and can hang with the big boys, flagship phones, iOS and wp7 included.

bow chicka wow wow.
