I believe the reason for this is because ICS has GPU Acceleration Enabled where as GB does not however... I am on Darky Note ROM and it has the GPU Acceleration coded into it and I have never seen any stuttering of any kind using this ROM.

Perhaps give that a try...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartoi:
You need Tegrak Ultimate and lock the gpu to 267 MHz.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] quattro_rs:
It has nothing g to do with hardware its becouse some games are not coded for our devices and therefore will not take full advantage of the CPU or gpu .

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Good memories :D

Use tegrak to do some gpu oc and you wont feel stutter ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
ICS wont fix it for games that already have gpu acceleration. you can do lots with software, but you cant make up for a GPU that doesnt have enough graphical power.

the reason why the note stutters more on games that dont stutter on the S2 is because the note has 2.66 times as many pixels at any given time (384000 pixels on s2 screen vs 1024000 pixels screen). the mali gpu doesnt have enough graphical processing power for graphically demanding games on our notes, hence it has difficulty maintaining a steady 60fps in some games (or 57 since that's the refresh rate for our notes).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
The question is though if the games are programmed to bring the mail400 to the limit. After all it's still better in almost all other phones, you need to take that into consideration. It's hard to tell also because I don't KNOW how most of the games are supposed to run. F.E. the MW clone from gameloft, does it run at 60 on the S2? It sure doesn't for me on the note, feels pretty ****ty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
Even a game like Pocket League Soccer is slowing down in quality mode...maybe 720p is just too much. Wouldn't come by surprise though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryan562:
Im running midnote ICS Rom and all my stuttering and even overheating issues are gone with gaming. And whats even more amazing is that this ICS build is underclocked to 1.2ghz

Hm. Did you try Asphalt 6 HD, Blood and Glory or Shadowgun? Or Modern Combat? Those games are lacking performance on GB 2..3.6 stock rom...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mafiatounes:
I agree i have imilka's v07 AOSP ICS 4.0.4 running and it is quitte snappy, i think the games are not optimised, the Note's Soc is powerfull enough.

Hey fellow hackers !

This post is an announcement - I'm working on a new hardcore sci-fi multiplayer game and I thought I would post a teaser here. The game is free and first playable will be out this summer.

Head to http://www.ghostsofmars.com to get teased ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gibffe:

[Android Apps and Games] gibffe:
It is going to be an asynchronous-MMORPG :)

Is it offline? if it is offline I will play.otherwise.... I just logged on.It looks awesome!!! However,if you will make it offline I will play.Make it like Art of war 2 or something.
[Android Apps and Games] JoshDaWhite:
In what language is it???

Edit.That language is placeholder. The game is being developed yet :)
[Android Apps and Games] gibffe:
It is asynchronous - so you don't have to be online all the time - stuff happens, you can log back in anytime.

I'll check Art of war out, thanks for the tip.
[Android Apps and Games] JoshDaWhite:
Art of war was available for low end devices. U won't find it on play store.You usually build troops and finish missions (Destroy. x output, Capture X Base)It was a lot of fun..

Hey dude awesome! I cannot login using the Gmail and the password, though.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Here's one I don't come by often.

I got a new 32 GB class 10 card to test (Transcend ultimate). On the Focus (rev 1.3) there's now a 16 GB class 4.

I want to take out the old card, test the new one and if it doesn't work, put back to the old card. I've already made a backup with the old card.

My questions are:

1. assuming the new card doesn't work, will the Focus see an already "locked" card when put back in the phone, and will it be able to re-format it? Or do I need to unlock the card first?

2. ...and more important: will the backup work?

Did anyone went through this?
[Focus General] foxbat121:
You can't test SD cards. You have to format the phone in order to see the new card at all. And if you put the old card back, you have to re-format again, loosing everything on it. Meanwhile your new card will be locked and can't be used anywhere else.
[Focus General] fenrir26:
If you are using voluptuary's ROM you can unlock the card and format it on your PC again to use it normally. The phone will see an already locked card. I have swapped out locked cards in the phone and even though it starts from scratch it will work with the cards regardless. Dont know if backups will work with a different sized card though.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
@foxbat121: I know that if I'm going to put the card in I'm going to hard reset (ie format) to be seen by the phone. I've written that myself in the wiki, actually :)

My question was (and still is): will a stock Focus ROM see another locked card? Most probably yes, as fenrir26 says, if a custom rom sees locked cards then most probably the stock should too.
[Focus General] fenrir26:
Stock should do the same, before I swapped to a custom ROM I had swapped a 4GB and a 16GB in and out of my Focus a couple time and it didnt have any issues seeing the previous card when I swapped it back in.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Again thank you fenrir26 !

I can confirm that the phone sees locked cards and also switching back to the old card, restore works!
[Off-topic] DexterMorganNL:
You guys sometime forget very important things although you prepared it all very good, but at the last moment you still forget it.

Today it happened with me, I sent mine passport away for an visa application, but after I got home I see that I forget to put the required flight ticket with it.

After that I read suddenly that the travel plan is still needed, first I though it was not needed any more from 22-03-2012, but just now I read that it is not needed any more from 22-03-2013.

So now I'm confused, did I read it wrong or did they first put on that page 22-03-2012? Well I send two mails with the missing documents, I hope they don't charge me administration costs for those 4 A4 prints they need to make for me now.

[Off-topic] DexterMorganNL:
I guess you never need apply for an visa which requires you to put many documents with the application.

That's where I'm talking about, I forget to put two important documents and I already e-mailed the documents to that company, but I got no response back. I could be they just print it and add and that it, but I would like an response.

I'm now like tracking the package I send to them and I will call later again if I see they got it. As they must see the mistake them self to, they must control it on mistakes.
[Off-topic] icenight89:
ohhh, u made a mistake applying for your visa, gotcha. Can't say I feel ur pain bro, im Canadian. Hope it works out for u thou
[Off-topic] DexterMorganNL:
The annoying thing is, normally she answers the mail kinda fast, but I haven't got an reply on mine mail anymore since 22-03-2012.

I guess they are busy? May is probably a month many people will apply for a visa. Oh well I just keep tracking the package and if they wanna charge me € 15 administration costs for printing 4A papers then I will send an mail that I found a company who does the visa application cheaper.

But I don't think they send it to the ambassade whichout checking everything. I'm just human so I can make mistakes to.

EDIT

Everything will come alright the company mailed.

can't install apks except those from google play

i can;t install apks which i downloaded from getjar, 4sync, 1mobile etc, it is so crazy. Nothing happens when i hit the install button on the right, the only option is to hit the cancel on the left. But then when i visit samsung apps, i can install everything when i hit the install on the right. And also everything from google play. I think this happened after i updated online from gingerbread 2.3.6 to ICS. It's a shame if it';s samsung;s way to sabotage their samsung customers and force them to download away from getjar, 4sync etc...

So I had the same problem - I tried to install an apk, in my case, from Gmail and from Dropbox, and the install button just didn't work. I am running STOCK 4.0.4 on a Galaxy Nexus unlocked HSPA phone. Not rooted, no mods whatsoever.

I looked at my running apps, stopped "Gesture Launcher", then tried to install my apk, and it worked. I have no idea why that app would interfere with installing apks, but it apparently did.

It's the Services...

I posted this at forums a week ago. hope it helps somewhat.

it goes like this:

It's the Services indeed ! :)

Go to Settings/Apps/Running. That should show your running apps and also if those apps has a Process or Service running. Some of these running apps have a Process running but no Services running please note. If you click on the toggle on the top right most of your screen where it says "Show Cached Processes", it will then show you just the Services or "Show Running Services" that are running.

In my frustration, when I couldn't press INSTALL when trying to install apk files, I stopped all the running Services at that time. It worked ! but I'm sure anyone can do it more elegantly by doing it one at a time starting with those apps that you recently installed. Then when you find the offending app. Kindly send an email to the dev informing what you went through so as to avoid this inconvenience for others due to poor coding :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Its not poor coding guys legitimate well coded apps can do this.

If they put a system overlay up that covers the install button. Even if it is transparent. You won't be able to press the button. This is to stop malware hiding its self as legit / covering up the buttons with different looking images to confuse the usrer into clicking it. as far as I can tell.

I have done a lot of research into it as my apps use system overlays. I was able to work around it but a lot of apps won't be able 2 simply due to what they do. Few come to mind but yeah.

So if you install an app that uses the " display system wide alerts " it may cause this problem ( not a bug )

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeroplane:
I stand corrected. And well explained too thank you so very much. It's simply another app's overlay (which most likely was set or placed in that position by the user) and is to be transparent as configured by the user. An overlay that by rotten luck covers the Install button but which the user anyway expects to press through (as the overlay was configured that way) but no dice due to Android's security measures to stop malware from hiding itself as legit images and covering buttons and the like. Simply put, the user cannot press through or go through overlays to get at System buttons like the "Install" button while installing an app. Android system just deems it too risky to let user press through overlays to get at System buttons. I'll have to edit my post in the other forum to take your explanation into consideration. It's not about poor coding then. Thank you but I have an editing mission to do in the other forum I'm in. I see no reason to edit my post here since your explanation follows it immediately anyway. I must go, I need to save the world from my post. :) Thank you again !

Still can't install apk on Nexus 7.

I've been able to install my own apk files up until two days ago. All of a sudden, the install button just won't do anything like so many of the previous posts have described. I've done everything I've read in the posts and nothing works. I've stopped all the services. I've removed many unnecessary apps. I've tried using dropbox, USB but when it finally gets to the install button, it doesn't work.

Does anyone have a foolproof way of fixing this? I make apps with B4A and can't install them.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
There must be an app that is blocking it.

I'm pretty sure that the market won't show the install button unless it is happy so pretty sure the problem is not there.

What phone and is you running. Don't now what B4A is ( too tired to Google it ) but if it is just the write apps in c then it won't be that.

Have you tested the app on another device? If you don't have one pm me a link and I will tell you if it works on mine.

Surest way for now is find any apps that have the

display system alert

Or

Display system overlay

Permissions and remove them one at a time till you find it.

If your still stuck I had an idea for an app to test for this but it is hard to install with the problem happening Lol!!!
