If you google for "faceboook contact sync ics" you'll see it's not a ROM thing, it's a framework thing for all ICS devices. Yes it's possible to "fix" it, but it will take some work. Ideally, FB needs to change the way they do things, I believe.

Movie Studio Does not work.. gives error that it cannot create project

and the RAM is nearly always full (20MB free mainly.. even though I kill all apps.. but there are so many services running.. mainly google ones

Hi ,

I am experiencing some problem with the auto-brightness feature.

I wouldn't say that its a cause of battery drain but i feel it doesn't

work smoothly.

When i go out in the sun, it brightens the screen but on getting back

to lower light conditions it doesn't revert back.

I have to manually use Root Dim to set autobrightness again..

Any comments??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
And on sunny conditions, it never goes to the maximum brightness... I'm always saying that but people sais that its working flawlessly...lol

Since the first Aurora release my phone doesn't recognise the Wifi from my pc (if I do Internet sharing). It doesn't even show it on the list. The problem must be with "Ad-hoc" type wirelesses, but I can't create other type wireless sharing with my linux. Has anybody any idea how to make the phone recognise Ad-hoc networks?

EDIT: This seems to be ICS or official's Android "feature"... Any ideas how to enable Ad-hoc?

EDIT2: I've read somewhere that the problem is at /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and it needs recompile...

EDIT3: I could connect with MIUI 2.6.35...

I was playing with the Clock APP yesterday.. and I realised that if you long tap it.. it goes dim and black background.. and just shows the time (screen saver like.. the time moves every minute).. Which is kinda cool, would be nice to leave it running all night so when i wake up from time to time i can easily check the time (since phone is charging every night anways).. but the screen turns off.. so.. what is the use of this app.. it looks like most nokia phones where they ALWAYS go dim and show the time..

What is the half-blue bar on the left of the camera?

And I noticed that the Memory counter does not actually work.. it shows like 75% of free on the bar, but then it says free 2GB out of 8GB... but the value it shows like Music, pictures etc.. add up to only like 2GB
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Check the option never to turn off the screen while charging. Anyways you can short tap, long tap or long tap, long tap, dont know exactly, there are two modes, blue or white clock if I remember correctly.

Anyone installed the drivers, besides geocheats2?

If so, did you see an improvement?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I did, and yes, there's an improvement, everything seems smoother... but I think, for it to load you have to set the composition type to gpu (in build.prop)

For example, youtube videos sample correctly now and 3d games are working smoother...

Sent from my U8800[/QUOTE]

I think you have to, because these are the GPU drivers, so it makes sense to enable GPU composition... maybe I'm wrong, but I'm seeing some major improvements over the default... but I don't know if it's because of the parameter, I wasn't using GPU so I don't know if it's faster. But it's much much better than the default without the build.prop tweak.

I would recommend doing dalvik... I'm trying this on a clean install, so I didn't made any wipes...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alex1301:
I've added the new drivers and wow the videos are very good on youtube! But i haven't changed that line, but i think it improves the graphics a lot, because i have a hp touchpad and in the build.prop you've also had to change that line to have a smoother ui, videos, etc...

I applied the patch and for me only after changing composition type to gpu its noticiable some changes in terms of smoothness. lets wait for dzo to tell us something about it :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
Tell one thing if you can. In build prop you add a new line or only change the c2d to gpu? Because in previous version I add a new line and don't notice any change. I don't ask it earlier because in the meantime dzo release new version. :D

Thanks

Edit: I make only the change, and this was amazing! With the new driver and the change from c2d to gpu my phone works in a charm.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
only did the change from c2d to gpu! great it worked :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
did any one see differences on antutu and uadrante at 1 ghz?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
You didn't have to apply the adreno.zip patch to see the difference between gpu and c2d options. These option was stated since aurora 1.13 and it was known that with gpu you have better graphics. I personaly haven't seen any difference while using gpu before and after the patch.

Antuntu scores didn't change either...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I will test it now. Will post screenshots a bit later.

Try Bubble Blast with c2d or gpu, you will see the difference. Its like 320 x 480 vs 480 x 800.

edit:

It will take a little longer, I accidently deleted my ICS backup while testing another ROM.

Stock ROM c2d composition

Patched with andreno.zip c2d composition

Patched with andreno.zip gpu composition
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] manuelpimenta:
Seems that everything improves from screenshot to screenshot, even SD card speed. Miraculous patch :D

The important thing, the graphics performance seem to improve a lot, even tough benchmark aren't everything.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mangoman:
Heres my result with the patch and editing build.prop. On 368-1,2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
That pretty much sums how useful benchmark apps are. It's like throwing dice: throw it enough and you will get good numbers eventually, then post pics here. :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I know what you are thinking, but I did only 3 screenshots together...I did not run each test or specific test multiple times and then post the screenshot. Those screenshots are the result of the first test in each setting. I rebooted everytime, before the test. SD Card speeds are irelevant, but I have seen with my own eyes the difference. Before the patch with the soldiers with swords, 30FPS after the patch 35FPS. Games feel a bit smoother, but that may be a placebo, while FPS are not.

edit:

Just look at the times between each test, 10 minutes, how long does the AnTuTu full run takes?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
I think that too. Mine drained the battery and prevented my phone from going to sleep. The way I fixed it was, go into DEVELOPER SECTION in SETTINGS and limit background processes to 4, then end all tasks (with a task killer). It fixed it for me...

I don't know what the side effects are for this.. but I been testing for 2 days, and it's quite good. Sometimes it will start draining battery again, just kill everything with a task killer again.. and it should start going into deep sleep again :)

--------------------------[START EXPERIENCE]--------------------------

1. Now, moving onto my experience, battery is not too bad (when I use the method stated above), but I don't know what the side effects are of limiting the background processes. Battery monitoring is AWFUL! I did read dzo explanation on this, stating stuff like the way how it measures it.. but my question is:

Why does this happen SO BADLY in ICS ONLY? I rarely ever had this problem with any other ROM..

2. BUG: I have a CORRUPTED folder, which I did not create, on my 8GB SDCARD, stating that it is 22GB big.. it's got these files on it.. with strange characters.. seems like corrupted stuff.. but.. it's not my stuff coz I didnt create this folder.. plus it's bloody 22GB on my 8 GB sdcard.. not sure how this works lol.

3. BUG?: In the lock screen, when you select to display owner information, if you do a new line in the owner information such as:

My name
Line 2
Line 3

It will display

My name Line 2 Line3

Not sure why.. maybe a bug?

--------------------------[END EXPERIENCE]--------------------------

QUESTION: To benefit from the new GPU drivers.. do I have to force GPU in the DEVELOPERS section in SETTINGS?

Thanks.

EDIT:

More EXPERIENCE:

4. Randomly, my phone starts lagging like hell.. for a couple minutes.. not sure what is causing it because I have over 100MB or FREE RAM!

5. Been running non-stop, no crashes since I installed it. 60 HOURS, 44 MINUTES! Bloody SOLID!!

Hi,

Can you or someone that already flashed the new adreno driver what version you have in Antutu System Information?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
What do you mean? GPU renderer: Adreno (TM) 205, GPU version (OpenGL): OpenGL ES 2.0. Anything else?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I did the test, I installed Aurora again without the new drivers and enabled GPU composition in build.prop, and I did find it much worse than with the new drivers... yes, benchmarks don't differ much but the whole UI is much smoother now, especially in 3d games, that's very noticeable. I think that makes sense, these are the official driver binaries and not hacks that were known to being using in most ics ROMs.

Again, it feels much smoother, but I'm not sure if it's just placebo, I don't even know if the drivers are being loaded or they need to be incorporated in the kernel itself or something... Dzo will certainly update us all on this matter, I don't think there's much more than we could do that isn't pure speculation...

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] btrst:
its definitely better in benchmarks. nearly 2000 score on quadrant. it was 1700ish before. cant tell the difference when using tho (smoothness and such). ics still laggier then other roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Did you force GPU rendering in DEVELOPMENT section of SETTINGS?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, I always use that option, I don't know if it does anything though, with it enabled or disabled I don't find any difference. I think that option is used only in apps that don't have acceleration enabled, for example, in baconreader, it makes the scrolling smoother...

In this video, they show the difference, but I don't find that happening in our phone, not at that level at least:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRlneTly3JI
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] j0a0:
Thanks. You have the last adreno drivers installed, correct?

I have Aurora 2.02 and the adreno version is the same: GPU renderer: Adreno (TM) 205

The new Adreno drivers are not the same that we have on Aurora 2.02!?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I don't know if this is what you're asking but yes, I think they are different or are at least an update to what dzo had implemented, because they were released after aurora 2.02. Anyway, they are the first official binaries released by qualcomm so should be an improvement to those that were being used. From my personal experience and from most who had tried them, they really seem to make a difference.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
Same here... Just wait for the new release from dzo with all new improvements :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tiagovale2:
DZO, I'm having an issue. Anytime I try to send an SMS with a 3+ SMS size, it's simply not sent and it's impossible to send any other SMS before rebooting phone. SMS with 1 or 2 SMS size works perfectly, but SMS with 3 or plus size simply don't send... It's happening several releases ago and yes, I wiped everything many times...

It's really anoying... Can anyone reproduce this issue too?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
I done a reboot after 62 hours, and now Haptic Feedback, Sound on Lock, Sound on Touch, and any vibration is not working AT ALL!! Why is this? :/

EDIT: Installed EPIC VIBRATOR 2.0, clicked a few vibrating patterns (making sure it's not a hardware issue).. and VOILA, it started working again :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
As these drivers are an update from qualcomm, they will eventually make their way into the source for code aurora if they have not done so already. Dzo will probably include them in as the source gets updated upstream.

For now though, if anyone wants to try this, I have used the adreno update, added in a modified build.prop from 2.02 to enable gpu and signed it to make a .zip update.

It is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hkdx8ryu2nbgbfg

Please, please backup before applying it, I dont have Aurora ics yet and although it should work, it may have unforseen consequences.

If it is successful, please post back.

You understood me wrong. I wasn't going against you or anyone else in person. It's just that benchmarks are pretty much useless as they don't tell you the whole story of how something affects the overal usage of the phone.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
Probably launcher problem like someone already wrote a little earlier. I have not had any bad bugs in the rom since 1.0 release. Only the one with Saunalahti mobile connection but that wasn't really a bug in the rom.

This though doesn't mean there can't be bugs for some people. Tbh it seems to me like some people with newer phones might have more problems with roms than us with older phones. Not sure though but it seems like that. At least it's the "new people " on the forums that report the bugs now.

Edit: this could also mean that new forum users are too eager to report bugs before testing them properly. ;) not aimed to anyone personally. :-)
