[Xoom General] taranfx:
Enabling this preference in developer options offloads task of rendering window components like buttons, text and complex 2d graphics calculations to GPU. This often results in much faster UI rendering including animations.

On one side you will definitely achieve better frame rate (and hence smooth experience) throughout system, but you may end up using more battery. On certain devices, GPU consumes more power the CPU, hence you may observe 5-15% lower battery life with option enabled.

offloading UI rendering to GPU has obvious benefits so that CPU can work on other important tasks like database IO, data manipulation, layout calculations and responding to other user inputs.

I would recommend having this option enabled on devices with weaker CPUs e.g. You should seldom need to enable this on dual-core 1.4ghz ARM CPU.

Odp: Enabling "Force GPU Rendering " for more speed in some apps

I finally gave up GPU rendering as it crash the tab many times. Ie google maps hang the tab after 10-15 min time of usage to such extend that it bootlooped over and over till battery is dead. Also browsing web cause same crashes. If you face many random crashes-you know what to do.

sorry for my english :o
[Droid X General] InsanityLivz:
My brother tried to SBF stock froyo rom over Liberty. When the battery went dead he brought the phone to me. Changed batteries and SBF to the stock froyo rom he used. Phone is caught in boot loop. Holding Home and powering on only brings up motorolla splash and proceeds to boot loop. I have tried flashing every SBF for this Verizon but it seems that the recovery was deleted when he tried to original install and the battery died. The roms SBF fine but start a boot loop. I have pulled the battery holding home+power but the droid will not go into the recovery. CWM also does not boot so I assume it was deleted when he did the first SBF. Wondering if there is a way to SBF the Recovery Partition since all I can get to is the bootloader. 30.04. Any suggestions?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Depending on the SBF you flashed, you should be able to hold home and power (from a completely powered off state) and get the android with the triangle.

From there you will have to either press search (Froyo) or both volume buttons (Gingerbread).
[Droid X General] InsanityLivz:
That is the problem. Regardless of which SBF I flash Home+Power just hangs Moto Logo and eventually starts the boot loop. It's almost as if the Recovery is not longer accessible.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Continue to hold both buttons even when it is on the Motorola logo.

Also, try reSBFing with .602 in Linux. For a nice clean start.
[Droid X General] InsanityLivz:
Holding the buttons from a powered down phone it sits on M logo for about 8 seconds then starts the boot loop. This is with me Holding both Power and Home, Holding power and home and releasing power at logo. The only key on command that seems to work is the Bootloader.

Ill DL the 602 and Nix-SBF it and report back. Thanks.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Try doing the FULL .340 SBF and then when that finishes do the SYSTEM ONLY SBF. See if that does anything
[Droid X General] InsanityLivz:
Tried 604, 340 and 340 system. I SBF'd all form linux starting with 602. Rebooted holding home and power and after a few seconds it went straight into boot loop again. Same with the .304 and .304 overwritten with system files. I flashed 304 then immediately flashed the 304 system only. Still same symptoms. I ask my brother and he said the phone and all the buttons were working when he tried restoring it to factory so broken Home key is not the answer. I am fairly sure if there were another way to push a Wipe/reset to the phone it would stop looping and boot into any flavor firmware. You would think it would be easy to run a wipe/reset command from bootloader. Any more suggestions because i'm about to give up on this beast.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
From what I can tell, every possible recovery option has been exhausted.
[Droid X General] InsanityLivz:
So it is Officially Bricked. Oh well.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
They're almost never bricked. Did you try SBFing from the bootloader?

Boot into bootloader mode by holding down Volume Down, the Camera & the Power buttons.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChirmiPlay:
Latest CM 7.2 build for Defy+ from Epsylon3 has a couple of issues with the camera for me: quality is very poor (taking photos or recording) and screen orientation is 180º. So, it's basically like use the latest Quarx's CM9 build for Froyo: camera doesn't work xD

I resolved to return to CM7 kernel, flash 7.1.0-11, flash latest 7.2 build (January 02) and flash Gapps again :D

Is there a way to relock unlocked bootloaders after unlocking with HTCdev to get warranty back?

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] sythe179:
Not at the moment.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
go to fastboot and run:

fastboot oem lock

this will lock the bootloader again.

BUT this will NOT recover your warranty.

Warranty was void as soon as you applied the hboot ruu

edit: looked at your signature. you're s-off? then there's a way back. do like above and then just flash lastest non htc-dev hboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] sythe179:
If you registered on htcdev, and your serial is on record, they will not accept warranty claims about the device that is in question.....

Read TOS carefully.....
[HTC Wildfire S] hd302:
Hi, I'm new here but have been lurking around for quite some time.

Re: the Legal question, where exactly does it say that?

I've read the TOS, the Terms of Use and don't recall seeing that anywhere therein.

What I do recall is a statement that 'some or all of your warranty may be void'.

A statement like that which you put up is in direct conflict with the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 & the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

The most they can do is deny warranty claims arising from you bricking your phone or from any faults (they specify this) which exist in their software, however they cannot and do not deny such claims where from a hardware 'defect'.

One more thing as well, because I know someone will pick up on this, the above applies in the USA as well as the UK and other countries, if you look at the Terms of Use on the htcdev website they have a choice-of-law clause putting the whole she-bang under England & Wales law.

Sale of Goods Act 1979 also imputes implied warranties.

Also keep in mind your warranty is 2 year by default under Directive 1999/44/EC if you're in the EU and is so regardless of what anybody else says.

So again, using HTC BL Unlock only voids your warranty so far as software is concerned and if you manage to fry or brick your phone through custom ROMS (or theirs even).

What it doesn't do is exclude their liability for hardware anomalies, such liability *cannot* be excluded.

So you still have your warranty, so long as it's not a software fault in their ROM & hboot and so long as you haven't bricked your own phone. In theory, if you can re-flash the non htcdev ROM then your warranty should be perfectly intact.

They can't just exclude things willy-nilly.

p.s. one fine point about software s-offing, you guys may want to get HTC's written permission for it, I don't know how HTC react to IP things but if it isn't a good reaction and they really don't want you to develop a software s-off they will slap you with a copyright infringement/takedown notice.
[HTC Wildfire S] BeciMester:
I don't know if Alpharev has such a written permission but I find it unlikely. Also I've never heard of HTC going after the XTC-clip people. Not nitpicking, just wondering.

[HTC Wildfire S] hd302:
Fair enough, just wanted to throw it out there while i was on a legal rant :P

Their IP license is a bit weird tbh, it seems they reserve the right to come after you for reverse engineering though... in fairness for competition purposes mostly
[HTC Wildfire S] sythe179:
But the Android OS is open-source, I thought that you can change it hoe you like as long as you don't make a profit off it alone?...
[HTC Wildfire S] hd302:
Well...Android is open source inasmuch as you have access to the source and can develop your own stuff but the software itself is IP which is owned by Google and distributed and licensed under the Apache License V2, which lets them prohibit reverse engineering and whatnot, which is beneficial for manufacturers (see:HTC) which could prevent customers or anyone else from reverse engineering Sense GUI or anything of that sort.

They probably wont but it is good to be aware of these things I find.

Apache License v2 btw - apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

Also both Android & HTCDEV ToSes cover reverse engineering.

Open source can be on an array of dif. licenses, LGPL force allowance of modifications, reverse engineering and etc, apache doesn't.

So basically they give you the tools to change it, but reserve the right (though not an attractive option for them due to bad publicity) to come after you if you do something they really don't like.

On a side note the OpenOffice/LibreOffice split occurred due to a license change too.

That all having been said, I am not 100% on the above and opensource is a bit weird in terms of IP, but I am somewhat certain. On the warranty point however I am 100%, the law there is clear.

p.s. fun fact - HTC actually reserves the right to begin charging fees for their Sense service online in the future...just noticed that

A new launcher for Android is available as a beta version. Simple Launcher enables to access all the main functionalities in maximum two clicks. It very easy to use and doesn’t need any configuring except wallpaper.

The lower icons give direct acces to the main functions like camera, music player or internet browser. A simplified parameter screen enables to access quickly to the phone setup

The top line gives access to selected applications pages. While calling an application, if this one is not installed on the phone, it is proposed to install it with Android Market

This Launcher is very different from the other available launchers, all working on the same model. They are very powerful in term of tuning. To be able to use them needs at least to have been initiated. The version 1.0 Beta works without advertisement till the first of February and is available on the Market

Upgrade:

Version Beta 2:

Add a navigation bar

Improving ergonomy

Improving Speed

Optimizing application size

Version 1.1

Correction of permissions in order to improve the number of compatible phones

The developer wanted to keep the kernel as a RootzWiki exclusive. Kind of a silly thing to do in my opinion as it hurts the users to split the community.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yeah I appreciate what rootzwiki does for the developers. It definitely favors them, it just hurts the users because they are unaware of these great and talented developer's work that's being exclusive to rootzwiki. Because, lets be honest, rootzwiki is nice to developers, but its not as popular as XDA causing a lack of awareness of releases.

I already feel this because the rom I use gets updated the fastest on rootzwiki. The xda thread of the rom is 1-2 builds behind.

That's just my take on rootzwiki. It definitely makes people go to their site. But I just don't think its right to split the community between the two websites.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ezekeel:
You can be member of XDA and RW at the same time. So I do not see how this is splitting up the community. You can link XDA threads on RW and vice versa. No matter what forum you are currently on, the other always is only one click away. All barriers you might see that split up the community, are in reality only in your mind.

I agree that it can cause a little more effort for the users since they might have to check two forums for updates. But let me be frank here, compared to all the effort I invested in writing this kernel this tiny bit of extra work for the users is hardly anything to complain about. If you have the time to play around with custom kernels and ROMs on your device, you got the time to check a second forum once in a while for updates.
