[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Russellmania:
Hi, first post here. I currently own an OG Droid and my contract is about to expire at the end of this month. I'm trying to decide what my next phone is going to be. If I decided to stay with Verizon it will probably be the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm tempted to save a little money and switch to Sprint to get a Galaxy S2.

With that said, the one question about the GS2 I haven't been able to find a clear answer to is how the hardware acceleration works on the exynos versions. Is the Hardware Acceleration baked into the stock GS2 rom itself, or is it just some hardware acceleration in the TouchWiz Launcher? If I rooted, do most of the custom roms retain the hardware acceleration or would I have to keep using TouchWiz Launcher to take advantage of it?

Also, what does the Hardware Acceleration actually affect on this phone? Just homescreen, or is it all the menus and browser, etc. If I used a different launcher would the browser still be accelerated?

Sorry, I know that's a flurry of questions, just trying to get a clear picture of how well optimized this phone is. If it's as good as it sounds, I might be able to hold out for ICS for a bit and save some money w/ Sprint in the process. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phonoodles:
I've heard the touchwiz is what's allowing the gpu acceleration of menus and such, dunno about other launchers but the stock samsung is doing more than enough for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
hardware acceleration is built into the stock touchwiz launcher. (or the modified 4.5 version)

this really makes little difference though the phone is so wicked fast you'll never notice the difference either with or without it.

many people are even underclocking these things with aftermarket launchers with no lag. i like 200-800mhz vs the stock 400-1200. the only difference i can tell is with slightly increased boot times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Russellmania:
Thanks for the replies. I guess a follow-on question to that, is what does the Launcher control? I always thought it was just homescreens/widgets/app drawer. Does it also instantiate all the menus and such too? ARe live wallpapers hardware accelerated with the TouchWiz launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I thought Go Launcher or Launcher Pro used HW acceleration? Either way they're crazy smooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I believe the tw browser is also hw accelerated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
I'm pretty sure Go Launcher isn't. If you use a fancy enough screen transition, sometimes you'll notice a slight lag, of course this is very slight and the UI is still super smooth, just not as insanely smooth as the stock TW launcher lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
i was using the stock TW launcher for quite a while untill i decided to mess around with GO launcher EX since it was compatible with LCD density changer. i was underclocking 200-800 or 200-1000 mhz and undervolting75-100mV depending on which mhz range it was. i have been on GO launcher EX for a week+ and it runs just as smooth as TW and the tansition i use are MUCH fancier than those of TW. if HW accelleration is supported by GO launcher EX id never be able to tell. this phone is so fast even underclocked its nuts. i honestly got the idea to underclock it when i heard the iphone have a huge beefy processor underclocked for amazing battery life. i was like "hell my phone has a way beefy CPU too, might as well give it a shot". sure thing it hums right along. previous phone ( evo ) wouldnt stand a change at undervolting. i needed it OC'd at all time and it still lagged. hope that info helps you. Best of luck:)

Hi,

I'm asking cause my grilfrind has this phone and I'm looking for a good IME for her. I read that there are some trouble with it on the Ace.

I also found this thread, but before I install any polish crap on her phone, I wanted to ask you guys.;)

Ho un Desire S brandizzato tim che sono riuscito a rendere S-OFF tramite Revolutionary.

Ho provato ad usare SuperOneClick per eseguire il root, ma purtroppo va in crash allo step 6.

Ho provato ad usare Gingerbreak, ma dopo 20min di attesa....nulla.

Come posso fare per eseguire il root del mio device?

I tried to use Gingerbreak, but after 20min of waiting .... nothing.

How do I run the root of my device?
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Next step is to install ClockworkMod so you can flash the su-3.0.zip
[HTC Desire S] AndreaPanzani83:
Yeah!!!Do it!!!I use this guide.

And now?I have to change also HBOOT?

Thank u!
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
No need to change the HBOOT if you have S-OFF using Revolutionary.
[HTC Desire S] AndreaPanzani83:
Thank U for the Answer!!

I've got another questions....where I can find any thread about "Recommended Root Application" and "Recommended Rom for my Desire S"?

Not all Rom or all App, but Recommended only!

I'd make partition of my sd by RomManager app...512mb SD and 64Mb Swap...it is correct?

(sorry for my poor English!)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
There is no recommended Rom. It's all about what you're looking for in a Rom.

[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Now that the droid Rzr has been confirmed with the same TI OMAP 4430 chip set that the Atrix 2 has, its looking to me like a brother to us. My question is, do you guys think that with the Rzr being launched internationally and Motorola saying international versions will have an unlockable bootloader, that develepment will help us just as much as our Bionic brothers have? Would say they all 3 are very similar with the A2 and Rzr having the edge with the better display?

Any thoughts or am I just bored at work and rambling on LoL?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
Who knows? I'm still enjoying the root goodness on an A2
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
When I first heard about this (earlier this afternoon) that's exactly what I thought. I also imagine as soon as we can get out bootloader unlocked that our phone won't be much slower than the RAZR since we're gonna be able to open up the cpu to it's capability, 1.2GHz baby! I can only see the incredible amount of developing for the RAZR helping us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cuhrazy:
Loving my A2, came from a Droid X day and night in performance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
well coming from the OG and still having it, I remember the developers saying 1.2-1.3 ghz was gonna b Max n now they are at 1.5ghz! I've kept mine at 1.3 but if we can get the same performance out of the A2 we will have a serious contender here I believe .
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Yes but the OG Atrix still had issues of Not utilizing Both Cores quite right if you look at the Notes on the Kernel's. Or at least last I saw there was a bug there. One MAJOR Flaw with the RAZR from what I have read is Lack of Being able to Remove and Replace the Battery. Well I Assume you could take the thing apart and replace it but not having an actual Battery Door for Extended batteries and what not just sounds like a Horrid idea especially when some batteries are flawed etc.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Think you misunderstood me, was just stating we could probably borrow info from the RZR the same way we have from the Bionic. The OG was just another phone until here lately and now it is starting to really shine. If the A2 can be tapped to its true potential its really gonna be one heck of a sleeper!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
The Razr's inability to remove the battery is not a flaw, it's a necessary part of the design serving two purposes. First it allows the unit to be sealed making it extremely water resistant. Second it adds structural integrity to the unit reinforcing the thin steel frame and gorilla glass. Without sealing it the phone could not be that thin. The choice is simple, for people that want a phone that thin and strong it must be bonded. I personally don't see the need for that and am with you that I prefer a phone that I can change batteries on. That being said I would bet they have a quick and easy way to remove and replace that battery that can't be done in the field.

I agree totally. The hardware specs for the Razr are spot on with the Atrix 2 (minus some storage memory). I think as the Razr becomes all the rage with the beautiful people all the code written for it will just fall to us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Exactly what i'm hoping for!
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Couldn't agree with you more ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] XAviierG:
Or its the other way around they take the stuff from the excellent devs here ;)

Donation accepted towards an Atrix 2 :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] IceDree:
Probably you guys will be able to port ROMs to the Atrix 2 from the BIONIC & the RAZR & the other way around

I mean People are porting the Atrix's ROMs into the Photon 4G & the DROID X2 , since they are ALMOST identical inside , You guys might be able to do the same with the Atrix 2 \ BIONIC \ RAZR

I think you might even be able to unlock the Bootloader that way , since the Developers tried the way they unlocked the Atrix's on the Photon & It worked

[TouchPad General] Segnale007:
Nice, though this version wipes off the tablet view customization that comes with the market on CM7..
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
What do you mean by that? I think this version works even better on tablets honestly. If you are basing off the screenshot, that is taken on a phone obviously.
[TouchPad General] Segnale007:
For example the view you have on "my apps". I used to get two tabs, one with the list of the apps installed and the other one beside with the information about the app. It was more like tablet feeling I think.

And btw I'm using it on my TouchPad and is way slower. It takes a bunch of seconds when I have to go back to the app search.

Think I'll go back to the version that came with CM7

[TouchPad General] tennyleaz:
I have this problem too.

Can we prevent market to upgrade, or can we let market to have a tablet view?
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
No and no.

Even when you uninstall the newer market and freeze/remove market updater, the market will still get updated to the latest version which sadly doesn't have a "tablet view" like the older one.

Install it by running the .apk or do we replace the vending.apk file?

Thanks by the way.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] febycv:
normal installation is enough. just run the apk.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] amresh:
I think you need to replace Vending.apk. First you try to install like a normal application, if it doesn't then replace your Vending.apk (it might install as an update).
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I just installed the apk from Dropbox and it worked perfectly.

You shouldn't need to replace in /system/app manually ;)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] moz90:
I just bought an old droid and am wanting to no if there is a ipod touch style of rom that doesnt have 3g or phone or messages, etc on it that would just have wifi like an ipod touch. I have a music playerpro already which i will be using. Also if there is not a rom like this what is the fastest/smoothest og droid rom. I used to use bugless beast back when i had my og droid is it still as good as it used to be or are other roms now better?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Worldwideweb:
hmm, as far as I know there aren't any non-mobile roms for this phone, but there might be one rom that fits at least a bit to your wishes...

...try out MIUI, it's an iOS styled rom, you're able to disable everything 3g related, however, it's still providing you the basic phone things like calls, messages and so on...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] moz90:
thanks for the reply and i think i would rather have bugless beast or cm7/cm9 than miui it isnt always stable on my droid incredible(miui) and yeah there seems to be no roms without cell service which is what i was really hoping for.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Worldwideweb:
On my milestone, MIUI is working without any issues :D

but bugless beast or the cyanogenmods are also fine custom roms, I love the way you can customize cm^^

3. Boot into clockwork recovery

4. Choose to flash zip (choose appropriate sdcard location)

5. Once zip has finished installation, reboot.
