Which apps scroll like ****, and more important, what does **** scroll like? :D

But seriously... everything has been very slick and smooth on my end. I'd be interested in checking out whichever apps you're having trouble with and seeing if forcing hardware acceleration helps any.

Thanks for not only correcting this, but also providing a source to back it up.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] polarbearmc:
wait wait wait a minute...

has anyone figured out if there is any actual downsides to force gpu acceleration?

because i just checked and the phone is NOTICEABLY faster. i mean it was amazing to begin with and way smoother than any android experience i've ever had on my previous phones (G1, G2, Mytouch4gSlide), but this is ridiculous how fast and smooth it is now...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidstech11:
I really have not had any issue with scrolling. Even before flashing an amazing ROM my device was not laggy. I wouldn't even use the device if it was that bad.

Some Android devices in the pass did have some lag. But not as bad as you make it sound. My last two Android devices have been great: The LTE Galaxy Nexus has been one of my favorite Android devices to date. The LTE HTC One X also has no lag for me. I would for sure return the device before you are not able to get a refund if you are not happy. Good luck with whatever you do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Exactly. I checked it because I wasn't happy with how the XDA app was scrolling before. Now it seems to be much better. Battery life also just seems to be improving every day, so there arent any downsides in my book.

Enabling forced 2D acceleration in Developer Options seems to be giving me that iOS-like smoothness.

I think Android Dev should make ui smoothness (2D acceleration) a priority and requirement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CreativeSciences:
The only downside I've seen is that in certain rare cases the gpu-accelerated version of an API call doesn't work, or isn't present. An example would be drawing text along a path on some phones; 2d acceleration is not guaranteed to implement this call, resulting in the text not showing up. I think this happens on the Galaxy S2, though not on anything newer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] milestoneiii:
Although I have a S2 Skyrocket, I too have experienced the extremely rare case where typed text doesn't occur. It has happened only twice in a year, both within the stock browser, but I can't contribute it to having 2D acceleration enabled as I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday much less whether I had 2D acceleration enabled a year ago. As far as battery life on 2D, I can't determine the cost of it at all, as I'm running a custom AOKP 4.2 getting 1d 2m on 74% battery without charge. I use my phone lightly and for work mostly. This is on the stock battery, not the high capacity.

Going back to the topic, I have noticed a higher rendering efficiency at lower scroll speeds for me. I've not really paid much attention to the stutter while scrolling fast, as I am usually filtering out the B.S. and needn't pay attention to what I'm trying to bypass, but the slower scrolling seems to see a benefit.

My Galaxy Tab 8.9, running CM10 seems to have a very hard time with 2D acceleration and Google Chrome. The scrolling there seems to have a very laggy experience and sometimes doesn't scroll until a few seconds after the touch gesture. It's annoying to have to enable/disable the toggle to use the flagship browser. This is the only time (minus the twice-a-year no text) that I've seen negative effects of 2D. Yay Android! :)

Hello, just picked up a couple Colors the other day for $125. + tax and my Husband has already got one up and running with CM7 booting via Sandisk SD card for my Son and it's working good however it's seems to be a little slow still. So my question is this: Is it worth paying the extra for a Nook tablet to root via SD card and is it as stable at this point booting via SD on an 8GB tablet. We don't want to take a chance of bricking anything thus the reason for sticking with the SD card method. Most of the post I ran across when searching for comarisons are older and when things were being blocked by B&N with the update. Mainly the tablet will be used for playing apps, movies, and Netflix if that makes a difference and the price difference is around $45.00 tax for the 8 GB tablet.

Also if there are ways of making the Color quicker when booting via SD card it would be very much appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Its also easy to not brick it if you actually read everything and ask questions when you're not sure about something instead of just "oh I guess I'll just flash this" or "this seems like a good thing to format."

Returning to stock should you ever need to, if you decide to overwrite the internal operating system or root it, is fairly easy as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmnypt:
Thanks for the advice so far. I probably should have worded the bricking part differently in my original post as as my Husband is not afraid at all of bricking it all and has already said he'd like to root it, but I on the other hand, not being very technically inclined, am afraid of bricking it.

Your advice Cubanluke88 brings up another question though. What are the main advantages of rooting either the color or tablet via emmc vs. booting them via SD card?

I'd also love to get some other opinions on the tablet vs color rooted or booted.

Thanks Again
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I can vouch from about 6 months of experience of booting from internal now. I personally would say that booting from emmc is much more stable and fast than booting from sd. Also if youre flashing roms quite frequently its nice because the ext_sd card doesnt get wiped so you can carry over music, video and other data instead of wiping your sd every time you change what you flash. Id recommend emmc installs all the way. its super easy and i would recommend it over sd methods any day!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmnypt:
I decided that I'd go ahead and exchange my Nook Color tomorrow and get an 8GB tablet for myself with the idea that my Husband could eventually root it. Then I started researching here on the forum the steps to do so and from what I'm finding it looks like it's not safe to root the 8GB tablet, that rooting it will brick the 8GB but that it is perfectly safe to root the 16GB. I just want to verify this before I trade in my color. I'm a little hesitant to spend another $100 + for the 16GB tablet that will have to be rooted. I didn't mind so much going up another $35-40 for the 8GB talbet if it could be rooted but by the time I pay taxes for the 16GB, even with a Staples coupon, I'm up to the same price as the Samsung Galaxy 2 7", the upcoming google Nexus or the much anticipated, but probably not gonna happen, Asus Memo 370T.

So should I keep the color and root it with CM7 eventually since it was a pretty decent deal or is it worth spending another $100 + on The 16GB Nook tablet (if it's not possible to root the 8GB) with so many other tablets, like the ones mentioned above?

I'd love to get some opinions . . . :confused:

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
The first thing we need to do is clear up "rooting."

Rooting does not mean applying a custom rom like CM7 or CM9. In fact, you don't even need to root to put a custom rom on (though rooting first does make it a bit easier."

Rooting is simply the process of gaining "root access", the linux equivalent of "administrative privileges." Applying a custom rom, a custom version of android designed for the device, otherwise referred to as "flashing" completely overwrites the internal operating system (unless you are booting from sdcard). Simply rooting will give you root access which will enable you to do things you otherwise would not be able to, but you would still have the "stock B&N operating system."

Now with that cleared up, the method to root the 8GB nook works just fine. Its flashing roms like CM7 that is a bit more work. However, booting from sdcard for CM7 works just fine on the 8GB nook.

If you look at the "How to install CM9 on the 8GB nook tablet" thread, you can find directions on how to flash CM9 to the 8GB nook. I haven't tested this as I own a 16GB, but I believe the method should work for other roms as well, at least to try them out. So you could grab the CM7 zip file and try to flash it using that method and see if it works. If not, you would just restore the backup you made prior to attempting it.

I know thats a lot of information. Do the necessary reading/ask questions before doing this stuff if its your first time.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vikasraj:
Hello all,

I am using the Energy Rom for Android Nand cLK installed. I really have this question in my mind since a very long time never discussed about it though..

The phone by default has 768 Mb of space but then whenever I happen to see in the task manager it shows me 404 Mb where is the rest of the space gone...

I mean i wish to know that is it a current limitation or that's all we can use for android coz when i was using WiMo 6.5 i used to see the entire space show up in task manager..

Kindly give me some input..

I am also attaching the screenshot of my phone.. space..

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
The rest of the space is used by things like System Partitions, and since you areon a Sense ROM im pretty sure the System partition is around 300 . plus the recovery partition and cache partition, those two might make up around 60 mb, so 300MB + 60MB + 404MB .equals 764 plus im sure there are some bad blocks taking up some space. But yeah you have partitions with android nand that use up the space :) hope that helps maybe somebody else could broaden the explanation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
You're confusing ROM and RAM. The task manager shows how much free RAM you have, whilst your storage space is 768 mb or whatever it is because it's the internal memory. Those are readings of two completely different things.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vikasraj:
Well even in that case HD2 has this spec : 576 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM

Is there a way to know if i have bad sectors and option to rectify them.. coz i believe it's not so..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vikasraj:
This makes some sence to me but T mobile hd2 has about 1gb rom i am guessing.. mine shows 764 Mb. any option we have to get this thing working so i can use the max out of it...

Thanks in advance...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
The ROM is taken up by Android, and the lack of RAM is normal and has always been there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcdesirezgeorge:
Hey, please make this a sticky(just in case someone else is freaking out like I was). I had the CWM boot loop issue and was not able to get ADB working on my device. I ended up uninstalling the device/driver and using a proxy Android Device to get it in, then reinstalled the Asus drivers. After that, it worked! Not sure if it works for every one BUT it was at least a good thing..

P.S. DO NOT USE REBOOT IN TO RECOVERY, IT'S DANGEROUS. TURN DEVICE OFF AND GO IN TO RECOVERY BY PRESSING VOLUME DOWN AND POWER, THEN VOLUME UP WHEN PROMPTED!

[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
I was running it today and it was pretty good, I'm looking forward to warm four dot zero. 3.6 has amazing battery life and sense 4 has fluidity and a new taste. I'm not a fan of 3.0 with ics, but that battery life is amazing. I got about 10 hours before I got to 10% and I'm a pretty heavy user (a lot of Facebook and Voxer over 3g).

[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
I'm not using a Sense 4.0 ROM (using CleanROM atm), but you are right -- it's like a whole new phone with ICS. I was considering upgrading to a different phone just out of sheer phone boredom, but this ICS has shown me the 3D is still viable for a lot longer.
[HTC EVO 3D] pumamane:
The Nexus is ok at best, I've tried it and can honestly say that the SII, 3D, and even Note feel more comfortable for usability. Sure, the stock ICS is fluid and is designed around the capabilities of the Nexus, but in the end, you're still playing with a black banana phone with a goofy curved screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] dangerruss:
Sense 4.0 is a huge change over 3.6. If you haven't tried newts Rom do it. 3d and 4g aren't working but you really won't miss them. Although I am surprised that no one has ported the EVO 4g LTE Rom to our device yet. It would be nice to have a full cmda sense 4.0 Rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
I think it's pretty simple to be free from Sense if that's your preference... get a different phone and stop complaining.

Most people that buy HTC do so because they like Sense UI, above all other factory UI variations... Sense 4 is the best one yet. TouchWiz, MotoBlur, and everything else don't even compare.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Totally agree newt one s was pure sexy. Loved it but had to go back to 3.6 because I need my bluetooth talk driving company vehicle. Can't wait till the 4g lte Roms hit. Sense 3.6 is a nice improvement from our 3.0 but 4.0 is superb.
[HTC EVO 3D] Pawnty:
Once ICS comes out officially, what do you guys think the chances are of having a fully functional ICS Sense 4.0 rom? I'm new to HTC and Sense and aren't really sure how complicated it would be to port it to the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:

[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:

I'm with ya guy....I live in great 4g area. During the daytime 3g is just unbearable! Newts Rom is so awesome....just hard to turn down 7-8mbs for 100-200kbs when I stream a lot video, music and download a lot stuff. I don't have WiFi and my evo is my only net option right now. I tether a ton also. Even though being rooted tether is free but I do pay for hotspot. I tether to much.....I'd say avg hour a day. For most no sense no more than they use it but I use it everytime my computer is on. I have a nandroid of newts but 4g is deal breaker. I been on mean ics for bout week. Gonna prolly switch to mikvirgin next update. Mik has made some of the best sense Roms....his mik froyo Rom for the evo 4g might be the best sense Rom of all time! Dude that Rom had so many options and mods was unreal! For some reason rc1 wasn't acting right so I stuck with mikeyxda stuff. No complaints...but 4.0 is way better. I just don't see how newt can get WiMAX though? I mean that would have to have that section added and written totally from scratch. I'm sure it can be done but would take some serious skills. If you could do that why stop there? Design your own system lol. I be shocked if 4.0 and WiMAX ever mix. Right now I'd settle for a kernel for 3.6.....seems to be shortage of that as of late? Ahem hope yall happy ahem cough cough. Sorry bad cold! Anyone got any suggestions without drama? I could careless whose side is what and tired the bs! Honestly just wanna kernel better than stock?

True, it's not really factual across the board but I was speaking more so from the standpoint of people on these forums that continue to get HTC phones. I personally stick with HTC because of Sense, even though Samsung usually offers better specs/hardware. If I was more of a fan of AOSP, I would honestly buy Samsung and install the latest Cyanogen, MIUI, or some other badass AOSP ROM. I just can't bring myself to like it as much...
