[Nexus 7 General] Keion:
Good evening, ladies and gents. Today I present to you a set of data, along with some of my interpretations of what it might mean. By all means, these results do not dictate what browser you should use, but with these results, I hope to provide some information that may or may not influence your choice of browser.

Now, let's get on to the raw numbers.

I conducted a total of five different tests with each browser. The results are as follow:

Now, about how these tests were performed. My device was, of course, a Nexus 7. Here are the system settings:

CPU @ 51 MHz up to 1.300 GHz with touchdemand governor, 4 cores enabled

GPU @ 416 MHz

BFQ IO Scheuler with 2048k Read Ahead Buffer Size

WiFi High Performance is Off, Smart Dimmer is off, FSYNC is On, ZRAM is off.

ROM is latest ParanoidAndroid Nightly (March 7, I believe)

Kernel is M-Kernel A-38, stock voltages

As for the tests themselves, they were performed through these steps to ensure accuracy and precision:

1. Close all open background apps (multi-tasking menu)

2. Open browser.

3. Search for the benchmark on google

4. If there is a preloader, click that

5. Run the benchmark

Note:

1. The theverge.com test is much more prone to errors as there are many more variables involved, such as download speeds, human error, and the like. I'm not a gamer so my reaction speeds are not the fastest.

Now, a look at the numbers.

I speculate that all of the browsers that received a 304 score on HTML5test use the same version/modification/flavor of webkit. Chrome Beta and Firefox Nightly received different numbers of points and bonus points so those two are obviously not the same, even without knowledge of ionmonkey and the different cores of the two browsers. After a little bit of digging, I found that Opera beta and Chrome seem to use the same webkit (although possibly opera implemented better HTML5 support). whatismybrowser.com reports both browsers as Chrome 25, and the scrolling lag in Chrome is also present in Opera. Chrome beta is recognized as chrome 26, and most of the other browsers register as just "Android Browser on Nexus 7".

Now, as for benchmark bias, there certainly is some. Kraken was made by Mozilla (same people who made firefox), Octane was made by google (obviously, chrome), and Sunspider was made by webkit (every browser listed uses a variant of webkit, except firefox nightly (?)). You can decide for yourself whether this has any impact on the scores.

Another point to bring up, is that scores do not equate to smoothness in any way. There is exactly zero relationship between benchmark score and smoothness of a browser, on the android platform. Chrome, while appearing to get decent scores, is, in mine and many others' experiences, horribly laggy, whereas sleipnir, one of the lower scoring browsers, scrolls much more smoothly.

I might update this with a browser that you want, if this gets popular enough, or if you ask nicely.

Graphs were made with excel 2013.

Can't seem to find anything good about unrooting the lg nitro hd. p930. I dropped it on concrete and need to get the warranty or insurance for it. So I figure I need to unroot and have no idea what I'm doing. The screen is just partially spiderwebbed but it still works perfectly normal. So I just would like to figure out what you guys suggest and how to go about unrooting if I need to for that

My friend just recently switched from an iPhone to a galaxy note 2 and I was wondering if there was a way to get the the verizon version of the messaging app because it threads group conversations. This would have to be without root because he would never root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JGoN86:
I think the app in the playstore called "go sms" does it. Now it doesn't always work. Right now im rooted on a AOSP ROM that has threaded group messaging and it works flawlessly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Excuse my ignorance but what is threaded group messaging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ainen:
If you send out a text to more than one person it is considered a group message. As it currently is, you will receive a response from each of the individuals in their own message thread. With threaded group messaging all responses to the original text are kept within that thread. It's a really nice feature to have if you do a lot of group texting.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RGM79:
Sorry for piggybacking on your thread, but I don't have enough posts to ask in the development forum, and my question is related to one of the two roms anyway.

I have embryo 6.4 on my T989, do I need to wipe and reflash all up to 6.5, or can I simply flash 6.5 on top of what I have now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xX_Psycho_PR_Xx:
You just need flash cache n dalvik then flash the update. Always make a backup before

I prefer touchwiz.. I used pac man rom but i change to embroy and i really like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
1. Yes, it does.

2. Flash in recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
When you flash into recovery then what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
After you flash it in recovery, reboot or flash more stuff :D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
No I meant this whole time which awesome beats or sound enhancer will work for embroyo 6.5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] supraman89:
I would wait until the dev releases version 6.6 full rom, he posted in his thread that it should be up today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
After flashing tweak wiz and then returning to embroyo I have come to the conclusion embroyo is much better. It the closest thing you will get to actually having the official jelly bean update. On embroyo The smart stay actually works, it doesn't crash like tweak wiz, it has a working s voice, and its very smooth with great battery life. I also figured out how to get awesome beats on embroyo. If anybody wants to know let me know on the thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
Do you know how close they are to having a working multi window?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
Well, you could have let me know in the TweakWiz thread. I don't have this device anymore so I have to rely on users to let me know when they find bugs. Also, what's wrong with S-Voice on TweakWiz?

I was answering your other question: how to install it. I answered by saying to flash it in recovery. It's not so hard to understand...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
its my fault I asked the question wrong and my tweakwiz rom didnt come with s voice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_Smoove31:
My tweak wiz rom didnt come with s voice and as soon as I would start up my tweak wiz rom it would say something unexpectedly stopped. when I would turn smart stay it would never activate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
It's in the Bag 'O' Bloat.

That's a known bug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alfavictor:
Which is better? Can't comment on that, but I prefer Embryo! It's giving me great battery life!

To be fair, I didn't give Tweakwiz enough time to settle down to gauge the battery life.

No offence to anyone, but us noobs cant post in dev threads till we complete 10 posts! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mookiexl:
I wanna know. I think you should post it in the theme/apps thread. It'll get your thanks up lol.

I think tweakwiz is better personally and i bet the future updates will be way better than embroyo.

Hi, did anyone get the Wireless Modem over IRDA up and running in XP? I did the following two setups that did not work for me:

1. turn xda's beam feature on; point device towards Laptop's IRDA eye

2. set xda's wireless modem to IRDA

3. Press start

Nothing ever happened

Secondly:

1. Installed IRComm in Win XP and a dial up with the new virtual COM

2. turn xda's beam feature on; point device towards Laptop's IRDA eye

3. set xda's wireless modem to IRDA

4. Press start

5. Start Dial-Up connection

For less than 3 seconds the connection indicator in the wireless modem would blink, then connection was lost.

Any ideas? Could anyone pls post a complete manual on how to use IRDA Wireless Modem in XP? The O2 manual I found describes only the serial cable usage scenario.

Thanks

Setting up the Xda as Modem

hello Yorken

You can connect to the Internet by using the Xda as a modem. The modem functionality on Xda is a software implementation of a normal GSM modem, and closely follows the Hayes and GSM specifications for modem function.

good luck.

SGY S5360T 'root' solution

Hi, I started off like you - tried many different methods on XDA and elsewhere - even hair pulling.

Firstly network 'unlocking' doesn't require 'root' access. Telstra will supply an 'unlock code' for free if your phone is over 2 years old. (Otherwise they may charge you to break contract) You give them IMEI number of your phone - they can give you code.

To open your Network Unlock screen – dial >	#7465625*638*# on your handset and enter 'unlock code'.

I don't know if 'root' requires that handset is ' network unlocked'.

Anyway . .

Then I found this post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927769 - and by adopting method "3-Just(only)root:", and downloading the corresponding attached file - " 3-KERUK_Samsung_Root-only_signed.7z " I finally was successful in rooting my SGY GT S5360T (after weeks of frustration).

All credit and thanks to -CALIBAN666- for supplying the solution.

Incidently - my reason for attempting root was to try to properly unlock my phone to operate on Optus 3G (umts 900 MHz).

Although phone is network unlocked (unlock code supplied by Telstra), and the phone specs say it's 3G 900Mhz compatible, it is still not able to operate on that signal. I'm flummoxed. Would like to know, if you get your root, can your phone (S5360T) go 3G 900 MHz.

I suspect Telstra's firmware is holding out on me.

Good luck with it, hope this helps, and send thanks to -CALIBAN666-.

Hi guys,

I am sure this has been asked many times and it's very stupid question. I have reading since last three days and I am still unsure.

I got this HTC sensation from someone. It is rooted and has CWM. I am not sure if it's bootloader is unlocked or not. I assumed that if there is CWM then it must be bootloader unlocked but the attached picture confused me.

I just want to upgrade it to official ics. I tried to use this thread to upgrade but nothing happened. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Can someone direct me to right path? Please. I will really appreciate.

I am not a noob. Just new to htc phones
[HTC Sensation] Alsager:
The bootloader still locked according to the picture. So go to htcdev.com website and follow instructions to unlock it. You can upgrad to ics either through installing a custom ROM or an official RUU (Rom Update Utility). If you choose the RUU method you will loose the root and the custom recovery but will retain the unlocked bootloader and the soff status.

Read the following guides carefully to be able to upgrad your phone.

Hi,

@ Alsager:

Please stop telling people who are s-off to unlock their phones at HTC.

This is totally unnecessary and could possibly bork their phone in the future...

@ viny2cool:

You need to upgrade your firmware/radio in order to get everything working properly.

The Kohr-Ah thread that Alsager suggested is a good starting point.

Also look HERE

:)
[HTC Sensation] Alsager:
Ok, thanks for the info, :thumbup:

so can you explain to me when the bootloader unlocking is needed.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

A locked bootloader will prevent the user from using certain fastboot commands.

If the user has a locked bootloader,this can be unlocked with Kohr-Ah's "HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)"

With SD backup I can restore all progerams and setting but for the ROM? How can I upggrade ROM form SD?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Ah cool, we also saw this application of it when we created mkrom. Yes, you could make a ROM image and put it on an SD-card, and load it on your 200 XDAs via the bootloader.

Please specify exactly what you would want, and we'll try to think along.

Exactly, I would like to upgrade 200 XDA in a single operation without manualy upgrade ROM, Radio Version and install program and make configuration.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Not sure about the 2003, but you could make a ROM image with all the software and settings you'd need. I would personally not include the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) because it would take much space, and I do not really like ROMs that update the Radio, such as the T-Mobile.

Instead, I would create another SD-card that holds the RSU and is set to autoplay, so you can just insert it after cold-booting the newly flashed unit. This would also allow you to do further software installs in RAM, if that was desired. (i.e.: must be removable separately, too big for ROM, etc.)
