[Galaxy S III General] :
Is this better for you a gpu off screen test means nothing. Every Samsung device has been locked a 60 fps they are also vsynced. The mali regardless how powerful it is. No developer will waste time making exclusive games for a specific gpu configuration in a device. Most applications do not even scale other cores except games. As far as in the android world the only optimized games are in android are ones specifically made for tegra devices. The 2 gigs ram is more useful than the extra cores in android. Especially when the quad core is still a9. There is nothing future proof in technology.
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
I want a phone I can keep for 2 years like I do with most my phones. And i'm guessing within a year or so we will have these graphic intensive games. Sure they might run okay at about 20fps on the S4 Qualcomm, but if I had the exynos, it will be running at 40 or more. That's a huge difference.

720 off screen means everything in terms of (relatively) future proofing my phone. Read my line above.

No **** nothing is future proof but i'm talking about its future proofness relative to other phones.

As games get more gpu intensive, who's to say these new games won't come with graphic settings? You're right, as android fragmentation gets worse, no developers will want to make exclusive titles. That is why we'll mostly likely have these settings for future mobile games. I for one want to play at the highest and the best setting.

Not sure how old you are but do you remember playing Wolfenstien in the 80's? No graphic settings. Then as games like quake rolled in, we started to see these settings. Why? Cause pc fragmentation is worse than android. With settings, you can have a weak gpu phone play a game thats also made for a phone with a strong gpu.

Don't come here waltzing in like you know everything. Look at the big picture. And keep in mind, I don't upgrade every year. (except the ipad lol)

ps - Way to cherry pick your topic as you seem to have forgotten the browsermark. I heard nothing but praises on the GS3's Desktop like browser performance. But I hear the browsing on the HTC is not so good and it stutters quite a bit. That's already showing signs of age.
[Galaxy S III General] :
No one going to code a game at such a high level that other gpus lose out games will be coded at the lowest level possible to run on all devices. I am being extremely generous by saying their will be a game or an application thats useful to use all the power in the gpu. Next year. Your contract will be up by the time a decent game or app that uses all the mali power on.To be honest No said the exynos was horrible the reason its gets its benchmarks scores is from the gpu. Other than that krait exynos cpu wise are about equal will krait having slightly better performance cpu wise and more battery efficient but its being worse in the gpu wise. You act like i said the exynos is the worst SoC ever I wont sit here and say its not the best as of currently gpu wise. You can't future proof anything if a15 quad cores come out tommrow with better gpus your games won't be anymore future proof then some one with adreno 225 and krait.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Okay... I said I wasn't going to bother and I guess I have to.

First, the whole point of a VSYNC is for Samsung to limit the GPU so save battery life. No device that plays games needs to go over 60 FPS if it doesn't have to. So the bare minimum amount of power into the GPU will be utilized. What does that mean? That in benchmark test, the Samsung isn't showing it's true power. Read the last part of this article:

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-real-user-review.html

Second, what the other use mean by "future proof" is that the more intense games get later, the Exynos chip where lets say the S4 will have 30 FPS, the Exynos will be at around 50 to 60 fps give or take.

Lastly, the 2 Gigs of RAM were given because the S4's Adreno and LTE radios require ram from the SOC, on top of that the Adreno does not have dedicated video ram like the Tegra 3 which does. HOX, Int has .98mb of ram while the S4 version only has 600for the Android OS and Sense UI. The SGS3 with Exynos doesn't require such resources from the SoC, so you have about 789mb of ram. Apps take about 25mb to 50mb max. Here, do some research on what a minfree is:

http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

In short, that's the developer putting a cap on the "minimum" amount of memory you will have free at all times. The rest will be reserved for caching which means half of the programs you use the most will be semi loaded. So therefore, when you open up a program that takes up 40mb of ram, it's not going to take 40mb of ram. It's already semi-open. For example, I opened facebook, which was loaded in teh cache at the moment taking up 20 mb of ram and it only took another 20 mb.

So in short, if you plan on having more than 12 apps open, then the 2 gb of ram is going to save you. But with 1gb of ram, you can reach about 10 apps open no problem.

In the HOX S4, this isn't the case because Sense UI took up a lot of RAM and on top of that the Adreno which left little to nothing for multitasking and they had to set a minfree that was highly aggressive and closed apps.

Now either apologize to the other user you gave a hard time or do not bother replying in this thread anymore.

[Android Themes] hv6478:
Hey all,

I've formatted some of my custom wallpapers (made a while ago, new ones coming) for phones. They're 1440x1280, exactly right for scrolling wallpapers and you can use them as static ones as well since the height is right. These are natively for 720p phones but will work with any 16:9 screen.

Feel free to use them, but please let me know before you distribute them and such. I know what's mine :)

I've attached a ZIP with all 4.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] ak700:
Nice but where's the zip??:rolleyes:

WOW man thank you for that!! LOL I've added it to the OP now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftbmx:
It's not in my developer options and I'm on stock IMM76K rooted. How can I accomplish?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
its in the rascream rom and some other custom roms http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/rascream/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billouetaudrey:
AOKP rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftbmx:
Avoiding custom roms, tried over 10, only stock gets me very good battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
It's not a feature in ICS, if you don't want a custom ROM you're out of luck.

That said, I'm not sure I see the value of it. What do you use it for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I also no longer see the value considering the specs of this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
I tried to Custom ROMs - AOKP and SLIM ICS. And both ROMs have customizable Navigation buttons. You can set Kill App function on any Nav button (short press or long press).

I use that feature very much.

If I won't be playing a game, I just kill it.

I believe this same battery a little and doesn't require much effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergej_7:
try using conservative governor, it gave me much more battery time on my nexus since it spends more time at lower clock than the standard ondemand and interactive governor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon-xda:
Thank You ... but this and other "alternatives" are no answers ... I think every user know, why he wants to have such long-pressing-back-button-feature (and now, please don't say we have not understand the OS memory intention etc.) ...

I am also looking for ... have you seen a little app/ script which implements this feature on a rooted ICS mobile phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petarsson:
+1

i also want that feature, as there are more and more games, that keep running in the background and come up with "sales-notification", "reminder to play" or whatever...to avoid this, i always need to go into apps-settings and kill them after playing, otherwise i get these annoying notifications... :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
CM9 have that feature too. I do see the point of having it if you use some apps that will wakelock your phone (i.e. Facebook), and the only way to fix it is to kill the app (hold back is quicker then going into recent apps and swipe it away).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Either you use a custom rom, or you don't get it. End of story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petarsson:
why do so many people think, that swiping apps out of the recent apps list does stop them from running? they are just taken out of the list, but if they are still running, they still do after swiping them away, no matter if shown in the list or not!

try it with one. check if it's running, take it out of recents list and check again...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mpevh/id_like_to_squash_this_growing_misconception/c32s7wv

It is not killed directly, but the process and service is stopped and it is flagged to be killed if needed.

Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon-xda:
why? - what developers of custom roms can do, also developers of a single kill-back-button-app/ script can do for rooted phones ... I don't want to use Cyanogen only for that feature/ reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That's a very useful and helpful answer. :rolleyes:

Anything you can get in a custom ROM, you can have in a stock ROM. It just takes someone to implement it. If no one has implemented it yet, assuming there is enough interest, someone will...

You can only have this option on AOKP / GUMMY and non-official rom porting by aokp.

The best rom i use is gummy, AOKP got some problem with connection...

And gummy has good tweaks that doesn't have aokp, and aokp has very great stuff that gummy doesnt have...

But gummy is very stable on the connection.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trewyy:
Hey XDA,

I need some help with my HTC Amaze. I just installed the Android Revolution ROM for my phone, and I am now unable to get past the boot screen. I've been sitting here waiting for it to boot for 1/2 hour, before I took the battery out and tried booting again. Waited 1/2 hour again. Still no progress.

I had just made my phone S-OFF with SuperCID, and had flashed a new radio.img to my phone as recommended in the thread. After doing that, I went and used SuperWipe, and then I installed Android Revolution. Installation encountered no errors, so i was surprised when I was unable to boot.

I can still access 4ext recovery luckily.

Could some one help a noob out? Thanks.

Robert

EDIT: Wanted to point out that I was able to boot into my old rom after S-OFF, SuperCID and radio.img, but not after installing revolution rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imperial_Raj:
Bro, why don't you try clearing data and cache from recovery, and then reboot.

Hope that helps, thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trewyy:
Thanks for the reply, but I figured out the problem.

I didn't flash the given ph85img which was the problem. So i flashed it, and now it works.

Only issue now is the mobile network wont connect and I am now unable to flash radio.img

Thanks

When I fully charge my GS3 and pull out the charger it drops to 99% straight away. Does this happen to everyone else's?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabatinova:
Isnt that just right? if you have 100% of battery and you start using it, you dont have 100% anymore right that second. Its like a countdown, when you have 10 minutes, and you start your timer, then right after you start it, you only have 9 minutes and % seconds,and it goes down...you never have 10 minutes for a minute, and then suddenly 9 minutes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
It doesn't fully charge your battery to 100% to prevent it from over charging, which will increase the life span of your battery. My I9000 does this too
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00431:
Might explain it then. Soon as I pull out the usb cable from the phone it drops to 99%
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Well title says it all, im doing a blind build and i got one person testing for me but i think it'll be faster for all to just get a few more on board. If you want to help hit me up on here. First 3 will be taken if they meet the following criteria's

Needed from testers:

1. Must know how to Odin back to stock (aka if you soft brick you can get back to stock) the current build loads up just fine.

2. Must have efs backup ( you never know when flashing)

3. Must know how to do logcat ( adb logcat > logcat.txt)

4. Lastly, actually want to to test long term, like with updates and stuff I put into it.

Of course the people who decide to test I ask don't leak anything til it's ready :P

I have 3 roms for the SGS4G, 1 for the LG and well working on this one so I know what I am doing :P If you do decide to help I will have an update rom this weekend unless you want to test current build.

Well let the fun begin! :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
I was browsing forums today and found some pretty cool apps.

Fyi I'm running seans latest SKYICS and about 50% supercharged.

BLOCK STORY

It's basically minecraft meets skyrim. Has quite a few monsters, side quests, etc. Way more features than Minecraft Pocket Edition.

KEYBOARD MANAGER

This app requires root. Basically, it lets you have a different keyboard for portrait and landscape. Which is way useful for me because I love Swype and Swiftkey but hate the dictionary bar when in landscape mode. This allows me to use the Samsung keyboard in landscape and Swiftkey in portrait.

BEATS AUDIO INSTALLER

Also requires root. I'm currently at work and have it installed but haven't listened yet. Give me an hour and a half till I get off work and I'll let ya know if there is a difference in my car. Which has two 12 inch kicker subs and a premium speaker set that came stock. So ill test the hell out of it.

FLIPBOARD

Probably my favorite. I'm sure most of you know what it is. I love keeping current on news.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
Having used MIUI for some time now, I must prefer it to the default Android UI. I am, however, disappointed with the MIUI4 developments. Much of it is just a reversion to the default Android interface. The settings manager etc is far better in MIUI than in Android, but MIUI4 just copies default Android with a few colour changes.

However, ICS does provide significantly better performace for my phone, and I cannot find any ROMS where ICS has been combined with pre-MIUI4 interfaces.

Is there a reason that MIUI have abandoned their interface differences? As far as I can see, MIUI4 is now nothing but a different launcher and a colour scheme.

Does anyone here any any information regarding the future of MIUI?

[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Anybody get this to work? I tried a build last week that didn't. They're getting close! I used to use Rockbox on my iPod back in the day. Great sounding audio.

Its not as intuitive as some apps and I definitely recommend reading up on it before installing. Better yet try it on a device that's proven. But yeah, I can't wait to have this on the ATRIX 2.

http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/

The End.
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Works okay so far... The interface is DEFINITELY not built for a touchscreen or a screen our size, but I'm listening to some .sid's now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Cool. Today's build is working for me. What size are you using? 800x480 does not fit right and its only in landscape for me.

The End.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Um yeah. 480 x 800 is better. That's what I meant to use. Not perfect obviously and only portrait mode. I'm guessing 540 x 900 doesn't have a theme yet. Its late. I'll check that out later. First impressions are it sounds suspiciously like DeadBeef. Not much difference. Very close. It also operates much like DB with playlists. Databases seems to not work yet. So having Rockbox import the default playlist will not work (I think). Its late. Rockbox is dedicated to squeaking the best audio out of small devices so this is definitely one to keep an eye on. I will probably make this my player for the time being as well. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for trying it. Makes my night listening to music off one of my favorite audio players of all time. When themes are available and it is finished it will be amazing for Android. My opinion of course.
