Ha, the force is strong on this forum, glade to see so many of us after using it like it. What would have been a less bias option would be a poll, it would be a question like, " having used metro for a few weeks and after getting used to how to work it, do you like it? The only people who will sign this thing won't like it an thus doesn't provide an accurate view of what we think about it, its just more FUD from folk who won't give it a chance

Does the metro UI consume a lot of GPU resources.

I played falcon4 game on windows 7 without any problem. I installed it and played it in windows 8 CP but it lags a lot. I installed directx and even set the program compatibility to win7. What might be the problem??

Edit. : I tried gta san andreas in win 8 cp without any problems. I'm using oldest dual core pentium processor and sapphire radeon hd 4650 1gb ddr2 graphics card. Installed win7 amd graphics drivers.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
well you could start by using the Win 8 CP preview drivers.

as to metro using the GPU, no, thanks to the wonders of graphic card development, if you cant see the layer, it isn't rendered.

Your problem is more than likely down to the drivers.

Hi.

Metro and metro apps are something great that happen, so easy to use, so easy to configure. To be frankly, I am just hoping that office suite will also be it version for metro and that I do not need any more desktop.

Cheers.

I haven't used 8since the dev preview but I know there was an option to change the ui to look like classic windows ui it wouldn't boot into this but it was there. Did they remove that?
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
No, there is no option, Developers Preview DID NOT have this as a user-changable option. Windows Release Preview doesn't have it either, so I think you guys are out of luck. Simply try the Release Preview, it's better than the other two have been.
[Windows 8 General] Sk8trfred:
OK so I did some research and its not changeable but you can make one click to get there or rename a system32 file to boot into it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Therollingstone:
Hi , I wanna keep on with custom rom but I wanna change my kernel , what's the best battery and performance kernel , what do u think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Yay, awesome thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Was your post *REALLY* necessary?

So, to answer your question:

I don't believe most of the kernels are for the stock ROM, with the exception of faux123's. I have followed faux over from multiple devices, and his kernels have always gotten the best battery life! It also doesn't hurt that you can get over 30 hours with over 3 hours screen on time with his kernel!

[Kernel][GSM][Hybrid-3.0.21]ICS4.0.2/3/4/UV,OC,TUN,CIFS,FIOPS,OTG(v013) [Feb-18]

Also, if its battery life your after as opposed to performance, you should go with the mainline version of the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
nope, just like the thread. his years of "knowladge" didnt help him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frozinite:
I'm running on Franco 17.2 kernel (too lazy to update to 18.6) with the "stock" 4.0.4 rom and I'm seeing a pretty good battery life improvement over stock kernel.

I collected some metrics last night...

11h 6m on battery with 2h 48m display on time (auto brightness). Wifi was on almost the entire time.

I know people have gotten better with non-stock roms (4 hour display time over 16 hours), but with the stock rom, I'd say it's an improvement (used to only get 8-10 hours with negligible screen time).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Masoa:
I have been using franco 18.6 with the leaked stock 4.0.4 with good results so far, but have seen crashes on 4g/3g border areas. I can't really say if it's the best, because my sample size is a single custom kernel.

Used the app off the android market for OTA kernel updates; and am reluctant to try other kernels until more apps are available like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
There really is not definitive answer on what the best kernel is for everyone.

Each person uses their phone differently and differing configurations will alter results as well.

Your best bet is to experiment yourself. Flash a kernel and let it run a couple days, trying to take note of how your on screen performance is, what you have run, also how the phone sleeps.

Then you move on and try the next, that is part of the fun! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Therollingstone:
The point you don't understand is I'm still enough humble to ask people decisions , The experience of users is the most reliable information for me , I havent been a big head and I wont , I still ask people that what's the best kernel with the stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Therollingstone:
Thank you very much , I'm really happy with your post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Well, you obviously failed to realise the point, this kind of thread pops up everyday. So you failed search.

Its like a pair of shoes, you need to try and find what is best for you. Best kernel threads will always be retarded to ask because it is a preference, like an anus, everybody has one.

First of all, you should update your phone via KIES or OTA to the latest original Samsung Firmware. After that, your lags should disappear.

Root: Allows you to access your system files of your device. It´s needed to install custom firmwares and some apps like NSTOOLS.

Flash: Basically it means nothing else then updating your phone to a newer firmware.

Besides, you maybe should consider reading this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
Currently I'm running stock (but rooted) 2.11.605.9 getting great battery life and performance. I don't have any problems besides the fact that BT Phone Book Access Profile (BT PBAP) doesn't work with my car.

The only reason I'm considering moving away from stock is to get working BT PBAP.

When I originally tried the FactoryROM based on the open mobile leak, its BT PBAP worked fine with my car kit, but that was before the MMS fix, and some other things had been tweaked, so I went back to stock.

Now there is also the Thunderstick rom, with more tweaks and customizations.

Is one better than another? Is one more stable than the other for daily use for someone who relies heavily on their phone and needs it working? Are there any other ROMs based on the Open Mobile leak that have been tweaked for Verizon?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcodori:
been running thunderstick for a while now. It's mostly stock with bloat removed and a bunch of tweaks to make the phone better. it also has a custom kernel with speed tweaks and governors.

I'm a couple versions back as it's been rock solid enough to not need to update. You can try both out to see what you like. You aren't stuck with the first one you pick. And only you can decide what's best for you.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] speedofheat:
I bought my Tab 7.7 3 days ago. Its the 16GB 3G variant. Gtalk video just refuses to work. It will initiate the call and then just close the call window when the other party answers. The same thing occurs when I receive a Gtalk video chat request and answer the call. It usually shows a black screen where the other contact's video feed should be showing and occasionally shows my face and sometimes does not. But it always, always closes the chat window after I answer or the other person answers. I tried updating the firmware to the latest European version, LA3, but the problem persists.

I know that it's not a problem with my connection since my Galaxy Note is able to pull of Gtalk video chats without a hitch and Skype video works fine on both the Tab 7.7 and the Note.

I would really appreciate any feedback on your experiences with Gtalk video on the 7.7 since it is my second most frequently used app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] speedofheat:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:

I think your "problem" is the other persons Internet speeds. I did just have a perfect conversation with my sister but whenever i try and call my mom in Malaysia it tends to be very hit and miss if it is going to work or not.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] speedofheat:
Thanks for the responses guys!

I found out that maxing the image stabilization slider causes some problems with the camera drivers and may cause the Gtalk app to hang sporadically. It also results in a wonky picture. Turning the stabilization slider to minimum seems to have improved the stability of the Gtalk app and I tested it in a Gtalk video chat between the tab and a laptop over WiFi yesterday and found it to be working fine. Still having audio issues with my gf, so it's possible that her connection or my 3G data plan is the culprit. The funny thing is that I havent had the same issues over 3G with my Galaxy Note.

[LG Optimus 2x] indyroid:
Is there a way to prevent auto mount of the internal storage whenever we connect to a PC via USB? The external SD card should still be auto-mounted.

I use my 6GB internal storage as the primary SDCard on my O2X and the external SD card as my storage area for music, movies etc. Essentially that my ext SD is what I frequently use for transferring media from PC to Phone and very rarely transfer stuff to the internal storage.

On the int storage if you have apps, pics being used as wallpapers and widgets, etc. then USB auto-mount of int storage disables all of them when the fact is that you just need the ext SD card.

Any ideas on how the USB auto-mounts can be controlled?

Thank you.

I have seen the minimum requirement for running Windows 8 Consumer Preview as follows:

•1 GHz or faster processor

•1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

•16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

•DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/...-consumer-preview-system-recommendations.aspx)

As far as I can see the biggest limitation is the 1 GHz processor as the Shift has a measly 800 Mhz clock speed. I dont know about the DirectX 9 graphics card.

Has anybody to install the latest Windows 8 Consumer Preview on the Shift. I happy with Windows 7 but if 8 is useable and performs better I would be happy to upgrade......
[Shift Development] JaWe:
I just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview and it seems to be much smoother and faster than Windows 7. Only problem is Metro apps need at least 1024x768 resolution to run. I also needed to replace ResolutionSwitchLauncher.exe (C:\Program Files\HTC\ResolutionSwitchLauncher.exe) with this:

Whaooh nice. Is everything else working nice and smooth. What about the resolution changer? Did you have to manually install the Windows 7 drivers like we did from Vista to 7. By the way can you upgrade the preview directly from 7 to 8 or it has to be a clean install.

Please consider doing a short write up/how to install 8 Consumer Preview..... :p

Installed Win 8 Consumer Preview and it works like a charm

I have installed Win 8 Consumer Preview using the instructions posted on XDA for Developer preview and didnt face any issues.

Everything works smooth and it is much slicker and smoother than developer preview.

If you try updating directly from the microsoft site it downloads an installer file and it stops after it detects that the ****s processor is les than 1 GHz and asks you to upgarde it. The alternative to this is.

1. Down load the iso image onto your shift (make sure you are downloading the 32 bit one)

2. Extract the contents of the iso image using 7zip or Win Rar

3. Dont run the setup.exe on the root folder instead navigate to the folder named "sources".

4. Inside this file you will find a setup.exe file, just run it and you are done (ensure you are on mains power else the set up will get stopped at one point, also make a note of the Serial Key from the microsft site as you will as)

5. Select the option-2 (one which is at the bottom) after you run the setup.exe.

6. There will be couple of restarts and you are done.

7. As expected after complete installation you dont have the wifi and touch set up and you need to this manually. (just follow the steps exactly in the same sequence mentioned in the link in the post above this).

You are done and enjoy your HTC Shift with windows 8 consumer preview.

I have W8 consumer preview installed on my Shift and everything is working.

-if you want metro apps, you must change the resolution (not good)

-sometimes it won't detect my SD card (maybe I have faulty one)

-if I restart or wake shift, wifi isn't working (must go to shagctrl and turn it off and on again, then it works)

-consumer preview is slower in start and a bit slower in use than developer preview

Got the consumer preview running. The default apps (mail,contacts.calendar)

If you've installed consumer preview, could you please post how you got wifi working? the marvel wifi device is found in windows 7, and the developers preview, but it's no where to be found on consumer preview, so no wifi or no consumer preview seem to be the only options I can find as of now.
[Shift Development] jay6700:
I fixed the driver for sd, and wifi.

You need 2 files from the old releases, sdbus.sys and dumpsd.sys. You need to put them in this path: c:\windows\system32\drivers\

Files needed:

http://nasomi.com/sdbus.sys

http://nasomi.com/dumpsd.sys

To replace them in release preview, it's tricky.

1. Have them on an sd card from the old version, i'll upload them for those that want when I get a chance.

2. right click on desktop, new, shortcut. type cmd, click next, ok.

3. right click on the shortcut, hit run as administrator

4. type: takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\sdbus.sys and hit enter

5. type: takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\dumpsd.sys and hit enter

6: type: cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\sdbus.sys /G jay:F <note that jay is my username and you will have to replace ONLY that portion with your login name.

8: type: cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\dumpsd.sys /G jay:F <same as above, replace jay with your login

9. you should now be able to replace the old files when you drag them over and click overwrite/replace

10. restart.
