[Asus Transformer TF700] pileot:
Well first off, benchmarks are not reliable. Does it FEEL slower? 2d rendering is something i would suggest if you have a lower end phone or device with a slow graphics chip. Since we have a high end device i dont think its needed.

Im guessing here, but i'd think that instead of rendering as 3d it would force everything to recalculate as 2d. That would be more processor intensive and taking away some of the work from the graphics processor. Since we have a rather beefy graphics chip i'd suggest letting it do as much work as we can because why not?

Basically, that option is there for compatibility. I wouldn't worry about using it :)

Hopefully this makes sense.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm using force 2d gpu rendering and I think it smoother, some may disagree with us. But since most apps are not designed or optimized for 3D and high resolution screen, so that's why it's stuttering randomly. If you throw on top with browser2ram, you pretty much very happy with your tab.

Hi

I am not able to take screenshot on mystic glory 5 official rom on my at&t samsung s2 (i777) phone. I tried clicking vol down and power button together but it never works. One of the keys responds earlier.

I never had this problem before installing this rom.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iron Doktor:
Hi all,

I'm running the stock LRT Rom, with the latest speedmod kernel, and for a while now (happened with LRQ as well) I've had a problem with chrome crashing.

The browser works fine but any time I mark the URL line and try to cut or copy, or go into a tab and try to paste something, it locks up the phone for a few seconds, then closes chrome with a "sorry but chrome has crashed" error. After that I can just start chrome again and use as normal, but cut/copy/paste just do not work.

Has anyone seen this problem? I'm using SwiftKey as my keyboard, not sure if that's related since I've had that for a very long time and it used to be fine.

I'll slowly start changing things back to stock and see if I can fix it, but maybe someone else has run into this as well and can suggest something.

Thanks all!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Nope.

Chrome works well on my device.

Did you flash with a clean installation ? or you just flash over the LRQ ?

If you just flash over, try to wipe cache and dalvikcache.

If still not working, go to setting, application, choose internet, clear the data / cache.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Techngro:
Hey all, I like my GSII a lot, but I feel I need an upgrade. I skipped the GSIII because I knew something would be along soon after. Now I am looking at getting a Note, but i'm wondering really hard whether it's worth it to spend the extra $150-200 to get the newer Note II over the original Note. The original really isn't that old, and the specs are still pretty decent. It's the software that seems to be the biggest upgrade. That split-screen feature looks frickin awesome.

Now, I like the squarer design of the original Note, but I like the extra features of the newer one. I wonder if they will be able to port the newer ROM to the older hardware?

Anyway, anyone thinking about doing the same or have any opinions?

I actually like T-Mobile. Why do you think it's not good? I live in NYC so I guess I get the best coverage they have, but I also like their low cost 4G plans. I have the Walmart plan right now.

I am leaning towards the Note II though. It just looks so OP.

What's the off contract Note II price?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Techngro:
I'm pretty sure the "full" off contract price is gonna be around $700. They have one listed on Amazon for that much http://goo.gl/d9vMg. But when you add tax and shipping, you're talking almost $800. I always get mine from Craigslist though. Usually a high end unlocked phone will go for $500 on there, but I think the Note 2 might be as much as $600. If you're vigilant you can get a good deal, plus you save yourself tax and shipping.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullonie:
I'm... really confused. Someone please enlighten me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HD2FORNICK:
Because the EVO was made for GB ROMS. The hardware is compatible with GB.

You can load a custom ICS or JB ROM from the many available here but I don't think they have HWA. They are also not 4G compatible and if you have good 4G in your area then it does not make any sense as to why you would go with a non 4G ROM. Also, FFC and a bunch of other stuff does not work with ICS or GB. The processing power of the EVO is also a little weak for the animations of ICS or JB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
^ This.

Perhaps if HTC had ever released the source code for the drivers for things like 4G and the FFC, ICS and JB ROM's would be more popular and more people would use them. As it stands now, Gingerbread doesn't have any of the above issues-it just works, plain and simple.

Ics and JB don't have hard ware acceleration?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cerebro':
ICS and JB certainly do. But not for this phone. Drivers have to be compiled to specific hardware. To do that, the ROM maker will either need to build the driver from scratch, or have the source code and make modifications. HTC never released the source code for the drivers, so no hw accel for ICS and JB. You cant use the same drivers across two different OSes, even for the same harware. Oh well...

Decks Reloaded is amazing. It just flies and nothing ever FCs.

Even though I live in an area with great Wimax coverage, I never use it. It kills my battery so quickly. That's why I'm trying out an ICS ROM right now and I've also been trying out some JB ROMS. Had to drop JB because Bluetooth wouldn't work right in any of the ROMS I used.

Long story short, if it wasn't for the advanced notifications and status bar in ICS, I wouldn't ever use anything other than Decks Reloaded on my Evo 4g. Try it. It's so damn smooth.

I never use front facing camera. I also never use 4g(not available in my area). I am on ICS and have never had any lag, choppyness, or redraws. I just tweak my build.prop and throw a bunch of tweak scripts into my init.d folder. Having said that, Decks is by far one of the best and blazing speed(software) wise is what its all about on GB.

Another question though is why can't we simply port the ffc and 4g from GB or another phone(like HTC? sensation?) To have at least a partially working rom?

I love flashing new ROMS, but when having a fully-functional phone is critical, I go back to GB. For some reason, I could never get the corporate calendar to sync on any version of ICS.

And I'm using MokeeOS 5.0 and its only been a day but its working well no complaints. Prior to this I was a die hard Calk fan...the best in my opinion
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
I am not being sarcastic with this post, because everyone should ask the questions that are on their minds (after you search of course...but it doesn't apply in this case). You don't have to feel like you are being shot down...but just as you ask why do people still use GB ROMs, I can ask you, do you not realize the pros, consider, and differences between GB and ICS?

In four words, GB just works, period. Now don't get me wrong, ICS is great, and Google Now is the BEST thing that ever happened to ICS in my opinion, but there are little factors that exist that keep me flashing back to GB. And the list is as follows:

Benefits of GB over ICS

- Everything in GB ROMs work (with the exception of 4G on MIUI & Sense 3.5 ROMs)

- No Lag (look closely for the lag in ICS. Shouldn't be very hard to notice)

- Less home launcher reloads (depending on what app you are coming from, and how long you were in it)

- More GB ROMs available

- Better Camera (we have a newborn, so this is IMPERATIVE)

- Faster keyboard input

- FASTER BROWSER SCROLLING

- Smoother video playback (tapping the screen tends to make the videos skip a little)

- Smoother home screen transitions

Benefits of ICS over GB

- Smoother game frame rate (trust me, it's better...)

- Better UI (launcher & apps)

- Better folders in launcher (I don't use default folders in GB because they all look the same...not very fancy, if you ask me)

- Nice integrations

- Google Voice & Phone app (play voice mails from your recent calls list)

- Multiple email sign-in with Google Talk

- MUCH better stock browser

- And of course, GOOGLE NOW!!! (If you haven't used it yet, search for it on XDA and give it a flash...you won't regret it)

There are many more to each list, and even on my list, but none come to mind, and I think that you get the point anyway.

For the record, I flash CONSTANTLY between different GB & ICS ROMs. My main reason, above ALL others? Because I can. I get bored with any single Rom after a while, and I like change. Yes, there are pros and cons to every Rom, but that's why I gotta catch...I mean...flash them all!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manokman:
huge thanks to everyone. this thread enlighten me...but one more question. which has the better battery life GB ICS or JB rom? Thanks.:cowboy:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
ICS Roms usually have better battery life, but it relies greatly of the mods of each rom. At this point, I get the same battery life from GB roms and ICS Roms. I have a set of roms that I have on my sd card that will never be deleted.

After tons of flashes, those are the roms that my phone has settled with the best, and the battery life is the same all around. Setting your minimum clock speed to 128MHz helps also. A very useful tool for battery life is CPU Tuner from the play store. It uses different schedules and conditions to set the CPU speeds. For example, when your battery is full, then you can use the fastest speed. As it depletes, set the tuner to lower the clock speed. You can also reduce the speeds when the screen is off, and speed up when the screen is on. (FYI, this can be a nuisance when you get a phone call, because the processor will not be working at optimal speeds to answer the call in time, ESPECIALLY in ICS Roms).

Lastly, for good battery life, using the right governor makes the WORLD of a difference. Yes, you can turn off your GPS/Wifi/Mobile Network radios, but I tend not to do that, since I use them often.

There's my 2 cent contribution to your question.

So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!

It's the ONLY one of it's kind

NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?

Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.

Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!

The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.

Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!

That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."

Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.

So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride! quote zepplinrox
