[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crash*N*Burn:
Was wondering how good are the leaked ICS Roms working... Bugs, FC, functions, apps, battery life??? And are they close to an offiical ICS release ???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I'm running Agat63's tFE16 with ACS repack. Only thing I miss is notification LED blinking for mms while charging. Not crying myself to sleep over it, though. I've actually found myself missing tinkering due to the stability of this setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Im on tfe16 without the acs repack and its great. The only fc issues I have are related to crappy apps not the rom. The lack of notification while charging as mentioned is present is all ics leaked roms and also the only thing that bugs me slightly

Hello, i have noticed that video preformance as far as quadrant and Antutu bencmarks go is stronger on the sense UI based roms, do they have different drivers that are optimized for the UI or something?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hengsheng120:
Are you using Ics rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KShion619:
I did once, it was a little bit better but other components didn't work well for me, example being marketplace and compatibility.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hengsheng120:
Well software benchmarks aren't accurate unless you compare the exact same roms with the exact same settings.

Just small differences can affect the score dramatically, for example, using Data2sd, Superram, Sd boot rom can boost one's quadrant score around 1000 or more points depending on your sd card, but the speed difference felt may only be milliseconds or less. Whereas using nand only, swap, or having HWA may lower the score but make your roms smoother.

So having a combination of different settings, different OSes makes comparing benchmarks on the same phone rather futile unless you can control all the variables. But that would just mean running the same benchmark over and over again on the phone in its current state with nothing to compare it to but itself. And even then any change may just because the CPU clock is changing or the app is being cached.

Also you have tell us what roms you are comparing about so we can give more specific answers.

so the pattern is doubling the number of cores every generations then the next generation should have 8core processor?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mephikun:
I highly doubt it...

Probably a hex core.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
I just noticed this in Tapatalk new posts, and just HAD to answer.

What's the point?

Name one situation where you would even need that.

Samsung needs to work on improving other practical features.

They've always upgraded what makes people fall for their phones, but never anything actually useful.

Years ago, their phone cameras went up in megapixels, but sucked no matter how much megapixels they had. Because megapixels aren't as important as is other more technical camera features. But megapixels are easiest to advertise so they went with those.

Personally I think a single core was enough. Now, phone companies need to work on RAM. They could stuff a lot more RAM in before they need to upgrade the processor.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W3BSurfer:
Doubt it. these apps doesnt even require 8 cores. if any of these phone users require 8 core just to play games, either get a console or a decent pc.

8 core to play Angry birds or Shadowgun...pffftt...:confused:

will 8 core make me type faster? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferno7799:
Just Faster Speeds

tbh, I think faster speeds are really the only shift we'll be seeing at least next year for sure, but probably the year after that as well. Although with Windows 8 on ARM on the horizon, perhaps devs may find a way to do some serious mobile computing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardGeek...:
i don't think that

8 core

:eek: will be useful for a device of 5" or 6" ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
They will stay at quad core but use the faster A15 architecture.

It's possible they might add some low powered A7 cores in a big.little configuration to improve battery life.

It will also have a next gen Mali gpu. Either Mali 604 or t658.

I'm also expecting it to have 2gb of ram.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
I'm not entirely convinced multi-cored phones of any variety are even really getting fully utilized yet :/

I honestly believe cores are more of a marketing gimmick at the moment. I could be wrong, I'm no expert and I don't have the ability to see how well android handles the fine details.. But, there are a lot of factors most people don't even think about when buying phones.. Manufacturers know you're not going to ask "Well what about this 1.5ghz single core processor preforming 4 instructions per clock compared to this dual core phone performing 1.5 instructions per clock?"

Maybe when I go to upgrade my captivate I'll worry about cores more but, at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if dual cores were preforming better than quad cores since they have been out longer and had more time to get optimized in the code.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vee4410:
Dual core phones are already fast enough but seems like phones will start competing with pc in the next few years.

Imo RAM n battery life need to be increased greatly then manufactures should start thinking about future multiple core cpu.

Imagine a hex core cpu n the juice it needs:D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferno7799:
Yes, RAM!

ya, I definitely think RAM has a place because that's one of the best things about smartphones is the ability to multi-task! So if manufacturers can further cater to that, then I think more cores may follow, especially if we get more TRUE multi-tasking where you have live apps running. Because then, you can delegate individual cores to individual apps that are running. ATM I'm not entirely sure why I would need multiple live apps running simultaneously on a phone, however I think for business workers/students it could be helpful to be watching a live stream or doing a conference call while taking notes in an office suite app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
LOL coming from somebody using even lesser hardware than mine. Pull out the wallet and get sum 6 core goodness you cheapo. You even fail at trolling, come on you can do better than this.

On a more serious note, even Win7 has issues handling more than 6 cores efficiently, so why would anyone even bother having 8 effing cores on a phone. A full desktop experience would be useless anyway on something like a phone, only no life nerds should get all excited about something like that. I wonder why people can't just enjoy the current technology, looking so far just means that one hasn't really got **** to do all day IMHO.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
This. One needs to wonder why would a decent mobile OS need this much power anyway?

I use even lesser lesser lesser, and lesser hardware:P

Instead of wasting money (which I don't have) on a newer phone, I work on optimizing Android to run at its best on my phone. Look at the Sony PSP. The XMB is amazing for a 333mhz processor. (And its actually clocked at 222mhz at the XMB). Now, were not talking about the browser here, that sucks. Sony spent time on the OS itself. They won't get thanked for it by the people who look at the features list on the box, but they engineered a wonderful OS for such a weak device.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
I hope they will stop messing with cores and screen sizes and let's focus on batteries and RAM.

Most apps and software don't even use two cores, let alone four, forbid more than that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
Hehe, I know what you mean...a year ago I had a Desire, and it was amazing to see how greatly the software could work after some tweaking, compared to stock. Sure it was kinda challenging, but it really felt like it was worth it: that phone was a living thing to me, I could hear it breathing. I swear I almost cried when I sold it, and I actually immediately regretted doing it, but it was too late. It was like leaving a dog on the side of the road or something like that, but at that time I was all excited about the fresh dual core thing, so I couldn't think rationally. There are days when I still feel very guilty about what I did. I'll never do that again. Guys seriously, if you have an old Android device with you don't sell it, you will regret it. Maybe not now, and not even in a few months, but you definitely will, trust me, especially if you've been living with it for a while (I had that phone for over a year).

Selling the GS2 didn't actually make me feel that way, probably because I've only kept it for a few months and didn't really tweak it that much...

Thats ri8 More RAM and Longer Battery life is way to go.

They already have superb camera and beautiful display
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnumEndzeit:
No, i doubt we will ever see 8 core in the next 4 or 5 years. Especially in phones. Look at how long it took to even get to a powerful single core and once dual core was breached, quad core was easier due to evolving silicon tech with higher transistors.

number of comments were also saying how they might even compete with PC's. Again, i highly doubt people will sell their PC's just for a smartphone. True, comparatively, smartphones in the future will be more powerful than PC's now but they are different time periods. Just like you cant get a smartphone now and sell it to the past. PC's are 1000x more powerful than a smartphone, just because you have to give up power for space.

As for processors evolving, they will probably just redefine processors than have 16 core monsters. More like 4x2 (8 core) or follow a similar pattern. Or they might just have a (future) really strong single core that out-powers current gen dual core.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkarrow:
I suppose, that in next generation will use 4 cores SOC, based on ARM-15 and maximum clock around 1.6-2.0 GHz.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osutin:
It is true that the pattern has thus far been (for displays) a SAMOLED Variant for odd numbered galaxy s devices (I, III), and a SAMOLED Plus variant for even numbered devices (II). It is also true that the cores have been doubling with each phone (SI 1 core, S II 2 Cores, S III 4 cores). The Galaxy S IV will likely have a SAMOLED Plus HD display (possibly even at 1080p), and 8 cores, going by this history. The problem, is that there is to much variance, as well as the fact that this data sample is not large enough to confirm anything. There were a lot of rumors saying that the S III would have a 12 Megapixel camera, 2 GB's of ram, and a SAMOLED Plus HD display. It doesn't have that stuff. So, it would seem likely that the next batch of rumors will have something to do with the unlikely 8 cores. Personally, I would almost drool over that sexy piece of hardware, but it isn't happening for a while, if it ever does. I would say it is most likely that the SIV will have a 5 core processor with a "mini" 6th processor to save on battery (or 4 and 1). It will almost, assuming there is any pattern, have a SAMOLED Plus HD (720p or 1080p) display. They may increase the number of megapixels for the back facing camera (if they do, a reasonable estimate is around 10MP). Even if they leave it at 8MP, they will likely do a lot of upgrading to the cameras hardware to make it compete with whatever it is Apple will soon be unveiling when the S IV is released (iPhone 5s or 6). It seems more likely, but without any possible guarantee until we actually get closer to it's unveiling, that the S IV will have something more than just 1GB of ram. The front facing camera, I'm assuming, will likely be scaled up to anywhere between 3 and 5MP. They will also likely greatly improve the hardware on the front camera. For a battery, it will likely sport either a highly improved technology that may or may not be available (probably not, almost so unlikely, forget that I said it), or something in the area of a 2400mAh battery. The screen size will almost guarantee ably be 4.8", which is what Samsung, and likely many of their consumers (myself included), feel is the perfect sweet spot between the Samsung Galaxy S II's 4.3" Screen and the Galaxy Note's 5.2"(?) screen. Memory wise, it will likely follow the same route as the S III, but will possibly include, later on, a 128GB Variant, and possibly even a 256GB variant. Out of the possible variants that may possibly be released later, obviously the 128GB version is most likely. And, while I'm spreading my thoughts as to what I feel the S IV will most likely have, it will probably have something that will hopefully (no offense Apple fan boys) finally kill iPhone, assuming the S III doesn't do just that. By this, I mean that unless Samsung goes completely backwards, or doesn't have something similar to stuff in this post, they may likely succeed at killing Apple. Or at least have them sitting in a sink hole calling for help.

Man, todays applications anly start to recognize, that two coreas are exist. What do you want with 8 cores? What abou poer consumtion? I do think, that optimizing operating systems is now much more important than hardware development. More faster RAM is needed, but today's high end phones are nearly as powerful as a low end core2duo. Just different architecture.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rysss:
Hi,

Beside consumers market,

I think 8 cores is ready for anyone who want to run Heavy duty task on their phone.

You can do much with that processing power if battery life not at your concern,

for example running Folding@home tasks or do science project on it.

It even possible to run Emulators smoothly such as x86-64 or an PS2 emulator near future,

do you want Multi-tasking apps with natural language AI? an Quad core smartphone might not powerful enough to do this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K900:
Are you freaking kidding me? Even top tier desktop CPUs are quad core + HT (if we're talking Intel). The amount of cores has nothing to do with processing power per task, it can only extend the multithreading capabilities which are not used in neither AIs are emulators (by the way, neither x86_64 nor PS2 emulation will run smoothly because a) all CPU emulation is single thread per core because that's how real CPUs work and b) PCSX2 which is the only existing PS2 emulator is written in C++ with large chunks of x86-32 assembly, which is not portable at all), and natural language AI is bottlenecked not by CPU, but by storage, as the data needed for this to work measures in terabytes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rysss:
In couple of years, who knows?

even today many cores mobile GPU are almost ready,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adidas007:
16 is less man. 32 would do
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
I don't get it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but what's the point in using the newer A 15 cores (faster, more power efficient and whatnot) only for heavy stuff, while sticking with the holder and crappier ARM 7 for the basic (therefore most commonly used) tasks? Moreover, what's the point in having 4 cores anyway, most apps aren't even multithreaded. To me all we need on a phone right now is a very efficient dual core cpu: one core works on the foreground app and the other on the background ones. Obviously you can push your gpu as far as you can, just in case, but that's about it. I mean nowadays if one has a modern ultrabook with a ulv i7 (dual) and a good ssd it works as fast as a regular i7 with 6 cores for normal tasks...and what else would you do on a phone anyway? I don't see people doing pro editing, huge media encoding and the like on a PHONE. I really feel like this 8 core hype is 100% marketing...call me when people actually start to do something with those nice cores. Until then, gimme more battery life, for God's sake. Thanks.
