[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
So as you can see in my signature, I've been implied into fpse for years, before Android existed, when it was FpseCE for Windows Mobile

For people who don't know, Fpse is the best playstation emulator for Android (and WinMo of course)

Fpse has just been updated with an openGL plugin, giving impressive graphics

But here is the fact: with an Adreno 205 (example! Xperia Play), the new openGL plugin is really fast

With mali 400, it has compatibility problems, some gfx glitches, but the working games are fast

BUT on the Sensation, as well as the Evo 3D, so our Qualcomm CPU + Adreno 220 combo, it's slow !!!!!!! (for me, and reported slow by every adreno 220 users on Fpse forum so far)

Example? => games in full 3D like Tekken 3 or time crisis are more than 50% slower on a Sensation than on a Galaxy S2, a Xperia Xplay, and every other device with Adreno 205 :mad:

Time crisis is exactly 66% slower on my Sensation at 1.7 Ghz than on an Xplay

(in terms of Frames Per Second, displayed by Fpse)

Forget about Gameloft games, emulation is another field, much more ressources demanding, no need to comment to say you have Angry birds or GTA3 running smooth, it's totally different.

Trying some possibilities with Schtruck (Fpse developper), trying to change some memory allocation features with modified versions of the plugin, it was impossible to improve these poor results.

So how can it be explained??? How can a single core with Adreno 205 perform better than a dual core with Adreno 220? (remind: it's also twice faster with a mali400, faster with powerVR GPU, onlt Adreno 220 is slow!)

What differences are here between Adreno 205 drivers and Adreno 220 ones?

Any hint appreciated, since I now hate my Sensation:mad:

EDIT: if you have a Sensation or an Evo3D, and have Fpse latest version with openGL plugin, please try games like Tekken 3, Gran Turismo, or another full 3D game, not an RPG like Final Fantasy, without frameskip, and repport displayed FPS. If you can go above 60 fps for Tekken 3, tell me which ROM you're using!!
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
My inclination is to say that the explanation is HTC. Adreno 220 itself is a pretty good GPU. HTC f***** so much up with software with the Sensation that my bet is that it's something on HTC's end that is to blame.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
True.harware-wise the Adreno 220 is much more powerful than the 205.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
that's also Schtruck's opinion about it, the software, drivers, are full of junk.

But hell, I get about 20 fps for Tekken 3 on my Sensation when Schtruck gets about 80 !

yesterday, we tested Time Crisis 2 with same settings at the same time, he was getting 66% more fps on his Xperia Play, so depending on the games, the difference ranges from 1/2 to 1/4, that's way too much!

Did I mention that using CF3D doesn't change anything?

That really sucks! Something must be done. Schtruck will continue to look for a fix, he doesn't have an Adreno 220, I hope he will borrow one to plug the debogger while Fpse is running
[HTC Sensation] ryanjsoo:
i have an evo 3d and have been playing final fantasy ix which used to run terribly on version 0.10.37 for some reason. frameskip would make the game run at 60 fps however it would also make the animations all jerky. with the new version the game runs fine on soft mode but the graphics using the opengl driver are to die for! i noticed turning framelimiter off gives me around 10 more fps. i get an average of around 45-55 depending what's happening. it runs pretty well considering the graphical boost but it`s kind of aggravating knowing that adreno 205 owners are getting fps boosts! i hope this issue is fixed soon
[HTC Sensation] RoleX1:
My Xperia Play using FPSE with the opengl plugin is getting around 26-36 FPS on Gran Turismo 2 without any frameskip used, this makes the game run at approximately half speed, playable but slow motion, so no fun. With Frameskip enabled I get from 32-60 FPS, but its very choppy at times, so its like 55 on the straights, 32 on the turns etc, hard to play without feeling its having trouble.

Anyone else have numbers they can post? or advice on how I can get the smoothness and playability up so that I can enjoy the gaming with the OpenGL plugin.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Can you tell me your ROM (and Android base) ? So that I can compare to Schtruck's Xplay, he has really better results it seems.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
This seems to have been true for years.

I remember reading an article a while ago about HTC's Windows Mobile graphic drivers and how poor they were even then.

If I find it I'll post it here.

Edit: Found them!

[HTC Sensation] neo0285:
any updates on opengl for the 220?
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Try different opengl drivers or a true senseless rom
[HTC Sensation] bluezeak:
There's a new forum thread on FPSE about OpenGL. Go to the FPSE forums and search for "Understanding FPSE and PEOpS OpenGL"

(I'm still a new member so I can't post links).

The issue with the 220 seems to have come up again, and doing a quick search in the fpse forums shows a couple people commenting on it over the last couple months.

I'm going to add it to a new section in my main post about hardware. Also, I'll see if I can get more info from schtruck and i900frenchaddict.

Question: how do you use a different driver? I'm not aware of anyway to change the driver on non-rooted phones other than updates from the manufacturer. And, on rooted phone, I'm not sure that different drivers exist - do they? I think the only option is other ROMs or apps like chainfire 3d

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma70ent:
Hi everyone, just a question thread in order to figure out what are some good things to do when you first get a new phone and you've rooted it. Other than the semi-obvious ones (flashing a new ROM/kernel) what else do you guys do? I'm about to enter the Android world and I'm wondering what everyone's favorite top apps are. In fact, not just the top apps, but are there any other things you could do with root that could be helpful to the phone? I see people editing "build.prop" stuff all the time, etc. I'm mainly looking for stuff that increases performance/helps battery life.

Also, I did look at the threads that came up in the "autosearch" when starting a new topic, and they're mostly old so I'm hoping for up to date stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateusm:
By the looks of your expertise, you probably want to stay away from build.prop for now.

If you want apps that require root, search for ROOT in the android market, the top ones are there for a reason.

For better performance, overclock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrostB:
prior to updating I made a backup... but now when I go into recovery mode it no longer has the CWM-recovery options...

ICS doesn't suit me because it has no Hebrew.. is there anyway to return to GB?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Yes, if you had searched you would have found one of the last 20+ threads about this

1) Download old gingerbread bootloaders and a rom from this thread

2) follow instructions on flashing rom/bootloaders from that thread

3) you are back on gingerbread, congratulations.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrostB:
I did search but couldn't find anything. Anyway I'm back to normal.. all I had to do was reflash the Siyah kernel which comes with CWM recovery tools...

anyone know if there's any type of ICS out there with Hebrew support? The stock doesn't have it.. maybe CM9?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I think cm9 does, based on what I think is Hebrew.

nandroid is the backup you made from CWM recovery.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

i guess he firstly flashed siyah to get the CWM app. i do not know if siyah works on ICS.

he might have flashed the appropriate CF-ROOT kernel from Chainfire's thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
Yeah, so there is no need to downgrade the boot loader to GB, before restoring?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
If you have flashed the ICS bootloaders you need to flash the GB bootloaders back (Or it wont boot or be unstable), nandroid doesn't touch the bootloaders.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
Right. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATN24:
That's what I wanted to know ;)

I flashed CM9 so I should have ICS bootloader? But I don't remember flashing any ics bootloader tho.

How can I check the version of my bootloader?

Tks!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golcheck:
If you flashed CM9 it means you used CWM. CWM doesn't touch your bootloader
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATN24:
ok then, I'm still on GB bootloader but CM9 is working just fine (build 01062012) so cant complain :D

EDIT: should I flash ICS bootloader?

All of the sudden yesterday my phone stopped connecting to 3G. I can still connect to 4G when available. I can make/receive phone calls and I can send/receive texts. I am fine when on WIFI. I have no data connection on 3G.

I have tired everything I can think of. Toggled LTE / CDMA. Factory reset the phone. Called Verizon. Nothing helps. Under Settings / About Phone / Status / Mobile network state it says either connecting or disconnected when on 3G.

I reactivated my incredible and the 3G connects right away. I deactivated the Incredible and went back to the Nexus and I still have no data.

Does anyone have any suggestions to try on the Nexus?

Unhide the app from the Dashboard and then open Cerberus on your GN and turn off Administrator.

Then drag to uninstall your app as per usual to how the app drawer works.

Tasker.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rcchusid:
I'm currently using Tasker for such tasks. I've also used Locale on my original Droid and it worked fine. One difference between them is that Tasker has more built in tasks while Locale uses more add-ons (which Tasker can also use). Some add-on apps are free on the market and others are paid apps.

The two also have different interfaces, and I get the impression that Tasker can be set up to do more complicated things, but for the types of things you mention I think either would handle them fine.

You can download the most recent one. Unless there's changes to the system, then it would be required for you to wipe completely when updating.

Just download the recent nightly. It's stable and safe.

Battery Compatibility

Guys, I just bought Galaxy SII GT-9100 battery and its perfectly fit in our Wonder. Tried to called Samsung Service Center and they also confirm that Galaxy Beam GT-I8530 have the same dimension battery with Wonder, but did not recommended because they believe it can damaged our phone within a weeks.

But right know I used Galaxy SII GT-9100 battery for a week and nothing bad happen......:highfive:

FYI : The Original battery Galaxy SII have capacity 1700mAh, and Beam 2000mAh.

I always turning off my Phone when it charging. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
kemaro, just look on the battery, capacity (mAh) doesn't matter if different.. the important things is the size of the battery (so it fits), the Voltage (our W, 3.7 Volt) and our W has 5.55 Watt/hour consumption.. so if those three things are same, you can use Exhibit battery..

Note: 3.7 Volt or 5.55 Watt may be a rounded number.. so be careful!

If u buy Galaxy SII Original Battery from Samsung, maybe around IDR 120.000 - 130.000.
