Opera Mobile - Hardware Acceleration?

It seems that the devs at Opera are at least working in full hardware acceleration for browsing since 2008 even for the OpenGL ES 2. I can't say for sure if Opera 11.5 for Android is fully HW ACC right now but, for sure, it will be :)

Dev Opera:

"... Our hardware acceleration is a bit different from what other browsers have implemented. Most of them do full hardware acceleration of all draw operations, but only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 — dropping to a more limited set of accelerated draw operations on other platforms. Our implementation will feature full acceleration on any OS with sufficient hardware support. This means we can also use fully hardware accelerated draw operations on Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X and OpenGL ES 2 capable devices such as recent smart-phones and web-enabled TVs. ..."

P.S.

sorry I can't post links yet but Google is our friend :)
[Android General] kocekin:
All iOS devices that I used feels better than Android devices while scrolling. I mean, my SGS2 rarely lags while scrolling, but the problem is no lagging it's how it reacts to the touch events.

iOS seems to interpret touch events more physically sensible way. Momentum is calculated better and the overall experience is exactly same so nothing feels off when using an iOS device.

Android can scroll really fine, specially in ICS I don't see it lagging. Technically, it's just great. But my launcher dock scrolls different than my browser and it scrolls different than my app drawer which in fact scrolls different than my settings menu. And the behavior changes between ROMs!

So, all the time I feel if the scrolling is either too fast or too slow or the momentum is too short and stuff like that. It should be consistent. At least for all apps in a single device.
[Android General] DanTheBlue:
Erm, I could be being daft here (And I probably am) but why isn't the Android OS built to do this? I mean, Windows OS sends an interupt for graphical operations... So does linux im sure, and Windows 7 phones and Apple OS...theres a reason this is done because people feel it moves quicker...and now we have dual core phones surely this could happen on a seperate thread...

Or...am I talking complete rubbish?

This is not a dig, as I dont think you were having a go at those people...

But thats fair enough isnt it? not wanting to have to modify something to make it optimal, and this is where apple do well. I atm have an iPhone but im switching to android, I mainly got it cause I wanted a cheap deal and oddly it was one of the best offers at the time.

I mean, I dont know much about cars, so I wont buy one that needs a lot of work done, but for someone who does know, they will get a better car for cheaper cause they will know how to work on it.

I guess thats how android does well really, its for people that perhaps want to change and muck about (although in fairness, you dont really have to as the devices work really well without being flashed etc on their own).

Once ive decided on my new device, may very well look at rooting, would be nice to be able to flash and root and make it a better device (after watching ICS on GS2 I was really impressed!)

But yeah, just my thoughts....

Minimum ram amount is increasing like hell. Now our phones use 2GB. My Macbook Air use 2GB and believe me, phones are ram hog. A normal high-brand phone should work ar 512 MB. Think about it, 2Gig ram, 1.4 quad core cpu, 720p screen, wifi n, bluetooth 3, and a powerful tegra 3 chip. Thats enough for a high spec netbook. Its better than my mba, but still slower than a netbook. MF Why?

Imo its stupid and immature to bash one os in favor of another.

While I do not like IOS, I have to admit that it does many things very very well. So much so, in fact, that I would recommend an iphone to many people. And this is fine. There is nothing wrong with someone prefering ios over android.

On the other hand, I love android and everything about it. I think my phone, the mytouch 4g slide, is just as fast and smooth with a custom rom as any phone out there, and I'm willing to put that up to a side by side test with any phone. I do not notice any lag or lack of "smoothness" (seriously, what does that even mean? Smooth to me may be laggy to someone else), I can multi task at a satisfactory level, run many apps, play hd movies on a tv, and am very happy with battery life.

Little story: I recommended the iphone 4 over the evo to my ex. My friend came back from christmas with an htc vivid, I think. Both are people that I would never describe as "techy", although they are both intelligent. From knowing their personalities, they both seem to simply want a phone that just works, can download apps, etc. I would have recommended them both an iphone. Before a week, my friend with the vivid was asking me what rooting was, to my surprise. Last time I looked at his phone, he had a new launcher, widgets installed, and had customized a lot of his phone to an extent that many people do not and likely never will. He's still just scratching the surface of android, but I was impressed nonetheless. And my ex? She loved her iphone and still does. It just comes down to who's willing to learn about their toys and who isn't (although, not to sound sexist, I do notice that males tend to be more into their android phones, and women tend to be more satisfied with iphone. Just a random thought).

The moral of the story? Both systems do things very well, and both have flaws. To say one sucks and the other is perfect is an extremely childish viewpoint.
[Android General] voon:
It's all just about a bit of scheduling priority? Can't that be done with a simple switch and be done with it ... choice for one or the other? Although I somehow doubt that iOS is battling with so much loss of memory ...
[Android General] guyenxda000:
Looks like a good solution to me as long as the original poster's claim is correct.

ios gives highest priority for UI rendering as soon as user touches the screen.

you should be able to get to the kernel source and do the manipulation to achieve this.

2 or 3 Gigs of RAM would solve the problem!!!
[Android General] Pfaffinator:
Blah,blah,blah......some people drink Pepsi, some people drink Coke.
[Android General] drakenabarion:
Well actually, that would be wasteful. My phone doesn't use all of the ram unless there is something wrong (like badly written 3rd party software). It will use a lot but that is because I am using my phone. Programs don't run on air so I expect while using my phone for the hardware to be utilized. Unused ram is hardware resources that are not being utilitised when it could or should be. All apps request additional ram which makes the system allocate what is requested. It is an efficient system. I would much prefer my phone to use the ram rather than sitting there wasting process time keeping it empty. But this is true for all computer based devices.

Having so much extra ram would not increase efficiency enough to justify the increase in cost to make the phone.

[Android General] Jarmezrocks:
Ok for comparison. I had my GT i9000 galaxy S against a iPhone 4S and the iphone literally choked trying to load messages beyond 400 threads. Yes we both had thousands of SMS on our phones. I have literally 15,000 SMS on my SGS. He had not near that number and his phone crashed when he tried to scroll through SMS (not open them scroll inside the damn message app) and mine with a flick of a finger literally screamed down through my SMS and bounced off the bottom.

So...comparing old technology against the latest. iPhone 4s was a fail. I was wowing them with my fast snappy UI and flicking open apps and middle pressing and loading a new app and letting the one in the background process. I even showed them my phone was tethered and running internet on my laptop via my 3G and I was also typing a text on my phone and then interupted by a call whilst simultaneously clicking on new web pages on the laptop and they were loading fine.

They would fall off their chair if they saw Ice Cream Sandwich now running on my SGS. Smoothness and snappiness would out-win over iOS any day.

Stock to stock though....iPhone 3GS vs GT-i9000 Galaxy S. Hands down Apple will win.

Excuse my pun here but we aint comparing apples with apples are we now ;-) most of the guys on here are comparing a ROM's version of Android on their older moddle phones against the latest and greatest STOCK iPhones.

How does a jailbroken iFail compare to a rooted and modded Android phone of the same era and specs? i.e. SGS vs 3GS?

I am all for android, because to tell you the truth I am yet to meet anyone in person that actually has a jail broken apple phone hahah. Why? Cause they are all sheep and most of them think its too hard and or bazillion other excuses why they haven't bothered attempting. I find it hard to meet anyone these days apart from the typical chick with a SGS II that DOESN'T have a modified Android phone to some degree.

Android is innovative and new. Check the treads to see how many ports are happening of the ICS on just about any Android device.

Apple is marketing and suits the general crowds. Most sit on their fat arses waiting for a iTunes release of something gay that is hyped up.

I do however have one mate that is an iPhone tech nerd and he can do some pretty funky stuff with his stock iPhone. He has his whole house and media hooked up to the thing and that I can say WOW'ed me. That was incredible. 1 out of thousands of iPhone owners I've met. Pretty lame in comparison when you think about it
[Android General] mrbr0wn:
Ok, maybe that's a stupid question,and i know that (if it works) it's nothing more than a workaround....what about some kind of daemon that makes a renice of the UI process when an interaction happens? [i mean, probably, when the touch screen controller has some input]

...more than a daemon, maybe a kernel module... or not?

Is it so stupid?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ramdante:
Hey guys I am a android newbie got a Neo V recently..I would like to use Titanium backup/brightness hack to move most of the apps to SD Card, and read that requires root..

Is rooting perfectly safe? cuz am not really interested in going beyond the stock SE Rom or anything?

And if I get any future SE official device updates, should I unroot the device before installing new updates or the root can be left as it is??

Root it using the zergrush method (rooting doesnt remove the warranty) its very easy and no need to unlock the bootloader , then just get app2sd or similar to move the apps to SD.

After rooting you can do many more things like removing carrier apps, move apps, supercharge, etc.

Hello,

I had 4.0.2.A.0.42 installed for a while and since mid last week, my phone gets spontaneous restarts.

It's happening basically anytime, even in the middle of the night whitout doing anything.

Today, I wiped everything , installed a stock ROM on .38 and then took the official upgrade from SE, so I am back to .42.

It still crashes.

Is there a way to get a crash log to check why it crash?

_____My__theme__for __CatyRom__is __located__on__post__#3_____

THEMES

The following are not my own. I found them on the Fusion thread and they turned out to be compatible with the Numas Rom and CatyRom v1.5

Separate themes for CatyRom v2 found at bottom of this post.

This is a list of themes that I found were compatible with Numas vOne and CatyRom v1.5. These were not created by me, nor were the ROMs obviously. I'm of course not responsible for any thing you choose to do to your phone.

I've tried most all of them and they seem to work with only minimal errors.

(errors I found)

the HoneySmoke red and blue mess up the regular email app (wiping data in Tibu for this app will fix this)

I had an error about a tethering management app fc.

the lockscreen option in settings/display does not change the "collective" lockscreen from coming up

(which still keeps coming up randomly even if you have a lockscreen app installed instead)

The Honey Smoke should be flashed on a fresh unthemed rom or they clash/mix then begin FC's...

_______________________________________________________

Tip

Before flashing any of these themes, get your Rom all set how you like (unthemed) then while in red recovery make a backup.

This will be your base for flashing themes. Anytime you screw up from a theme flash that backup before flashing a new theme

Holy crap this was soooo much harder than I thought it would be, but I think I got it now ;)

Description:

I themed up CatyRom based on a Transfuzion theme. This is my first try. Basically I just seek and destroyed anything I could change. This is what I came up with...

In my opinion, It looks like matted blue steel in space.

Credit goes to the people of xda, without all of you I wouldn't even know that I could make it look different.

Big thanks to dman for making awesome roms.

Sadly the Transfuzion themes for Caty 2.0 DO NOT work on Numas :(

We'll see.

So Numas and CatyRom can use the Fusion themes

And CatyRom 2.0 can use the Transfuzion themes. [clarification for noobs]

Hi

I am talking about the Nexus S I9020T (if it makes any difference),stock,unrooted and on Android 2.3.6 .

1.When your Nexus S battery is bone-dry : how much time to fully charge it to 100% ?

2.Do you use the stock (2-piece) OEM charger ? or you have another Samsung charger that is compatabile ? (from another experience with an LG phone , a very old LG charger was vastly faster than the charger that came with the newer LG phone ... Just a side note)

In my case , it took more than 4 hours to charger , with the OEM charger that came with my Nexus pack...
