[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atulalvenkar:
Till date android used CPU to draw the screen instead of GPU which is developed keeping graphics in mind. Due to this on low powered devices the cpu had to do lot of work. Actual computing as well as drawing the UI. Hardware acceleration is in simple words using GPU to draw the basic android UI which speeds up UI drawing making it snappier and leaving CPU to take care of other computing tasks.

About lag except thisismynext.com every other place said it was snappier and there was no lag.thisismynext.com is known to be supporting Apple so take their review with a grain of salt.GSM Arena mentioned they got pre release software on their review unit that can be the reason for lag. I saw the whole presentation and lots of other hands on and did not find any lag whatsoever.

The OMAP processor in Nexus is not as good as Exynos. Atleast thats what I've heard. The GPU in GS2 is lot better than one in Nexus.Also I read somewhere Samsung did some tweaks in the stock browser. Maybe thats the reason GS2 performs well in benchmarks compared to Nexus.

About ICS coming to S2, most likely it will and is a good thing. Why are you worried about ICS coming to S2?

Except 720p screen and Vanilla android i don't see anything else in Nexus thats better than GS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bala_gamer:
Just curious to know some more details regarding this!! Does the hardware acceleration is only for the launcher or the whole UI.

Also we already have a tweak to render UI with gpu,

debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop will enable it.

Then whats the point of having the same tweak integrated with ICS or does ICS have any other adjustments making it special?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Its not true hardware acceleration its for the whole ui. In Ice cream including apps can take advantage of it so expect to be way better launchers and applications when it launches.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] varunkumars:
Thanks for the detailed explanation. If galaxy s2 is more powerful than Nexus Prime i definitely want to ICS on my Galaxy s2. UI is very appealing in ICS. I am hoping browser can perform very well too(i want to rub this against iphone 4s users). Moreover galaxy s2 has every capability to take advantage of ICS with the powerful Exynos chipset and Mali 400GPU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] varunkumars:
Below confirms what "atulalvenkar" stated. With hardware inferior to galaxy s2, Galaxy Nexus performed almost equal to galaxy s2. So just imagine how ICS would perform on Galaxy s2.

Silly Question Yes,

but is it possible to Boot into Clockwork Recover Without a PC or Dongle?

I have it installed.......... But i just flashed a Bad file and am away from my PC.....

I know i can get into Boot Loader, Power Volume down and Home Key,

But can i get into Clockwork mod from here?

Cheers

Ok Excuse me!!! Bad Mistake.

For anyone else searching the forum its:

Hi,

How do i flash my HTC Desire S with the new roms? I read some of the guides at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

but im not sure how to go about doing it...

Also i read HTC Desire S came with gingerbread but mine has a far older android... could it be im using a HTC Desire...? Is there any way to check if my phones a Desire or Desire S?

thx!!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The desire s is a pretty new device, it was shipped with Android 2.3.3.

If you got an older Android version it can't be a desire s.

But to be sure is there a button at the bottom of the screen or are there only softkeys?

Or just go to settings -> about phone -> hardware.

Somewhere there should be the model.

[Thunderbolt General] rcmarks314:
I see a lot of people having issues with their ringtones not matching up to the right person. I have this issue too and would like to see if we can figure it out.

I looked in settings, applications, manage applications, all and found.

Ringtone Widget version3.0.2114243118.45466

Storage Total 16.00KB Application 16.00KB Data 0.00B Cache 0.00B

So there seems to be nothing to change there, as in delete data. My last few calls went something like this.

GF called with proper ringtone. Called from mobile

Mother called Played GF's ringtone not Mothers. Called from mobile

I called myself from home phone default ringtone (it's supposed to) Called from land line

Brother called played default not Brothers. Called from mobile

All of my ringtones are in a ringtone folder on SD card I use none of the ringtones that come with the phone. So all of the ringtones come from the same folder. I don't know if others are having this problem using the ringtones that come with the phone or if it's a custom ringtone problem. I do know there are different apps that could be loaded but don't know if the issues are in those apps too. Or if it's a VZW/HTC problem. I'm going to try to keep a log of calls, if they're from land lines or mobile, and if they're the proper ringtone or not. I'd like a few people to do the same and list their findings. Maybe we as a community can figure this out.

[Thunderbolt General] LeftyGR:
I just only started rooting a few weeks ago. This happened to me shortly after. A solution I figured out is this... When you mount your phone and someone calls that has a ringtone on the SD card, it jacks it up because the tone is not available with the SD card mounted. My solution: I moved all my alarm, notification, and ring tones to the phones root media folders. Problem solved! See if that solves your problem.

[Thunderbolt General] rcmarks314:
I've thought about doing this also. I started this thread in the hopes that 1. people that have this problem would chime in and maybe give a log of their calls and 2. I could go to a dev and see if the problem could be fixed. A lot of stock users have this problem too, Usually if a dev comes out with a fix then VZW will kang it and push it out via an update. As they did when Eris fixed the VM issue.
[Thunderbolt General] androidguy916:
After the GB update I'm having the same issue. I checked the ringtone inside the contact and the configured ringtones are correct. So, my wife called and got default ringtone. My daughter called and got wife's ringtone. My other daughter called and got last daughter's ringtone, etc. I'm really not anxious to do a factory reset after it took me so long to get my phone the way I like it. Don't know what to do next. I'm sure if I call Verizon I'll be told I'm the 1st one with this issue just like I'm told with every issue I've brought to them.
[Thunderbolt General] rcmarks314:
I haven't checked here of late. But I think I've found the answer. Move your ringtones to media / audio / ringtones file on your SD card. You can just move the whole folder there if it's easier. I'm not sure if it's case sensitive or not I used all lower case. You will need to reset all of your ringtones. Hope it works for you.

Follow these steps to achieve root:

1) Wipe data, cache, and dalvik (

this will erase all your data so backup anything before this step

)

2) Download Thunderbolt_Patched_hboot.zip from XDA by Shadowmite.

3) Open Thunderbolt_Patched_hboot.zip, you should see PG05IMG.zip inside. Take PG05IMG.zip and place it in the root of your microSD card. Reboot into Hboot.

4) It should detect PG05IMG.zip. Just install it. Then delete PG05IMG.zip

5) Download full RUU (from link in the OP) and rename the file to PG05IMG.zip and place it in the root of your microSD card (will lose root and clockworkmod).

6) Reboot into HBoot (Hboot should say UNLOCKED--highlighted in pink), it should detect PG05IMG.zip, install it, then delete PG05IMG.zip.

7) Download Clockworkmod (CWR5.0.2.1)PG05IMG.zip)

8) Rename the clockworkmod download to PG05IMG.zip. Place on root of your microSD card.

9) Reboot into HBoot, it should detect PG05IMG.zip, install it, then delete PG05IMG.zip. Now you have Clockworkmod.

10) Lastly, install Superuser (su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip) by downloading it from here. Place the file on your microSD and install Superuser from Clockworkmod. Reboot.

You are now flashed to the latest ROM, with root access, and clockworkmod. :)
