[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I find the high end to usable in direct sunlight, but keep in mind that, due to the glare-y screen, it is not going to be perfect. I must admit I sometimes find the low end of the brightness a bit too harsh on the eyes when reading e-books and such in nearly pitch-black surroundings (bedroom, mostly ;) ), but there are several utilities that can help you out there. On my SGS2 I used Screen Filter a lot:

[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
The screen brightness on the TF700 is by far the highest any tablet has, especially with the IPS+ mode enabled. Easily readable in bright sunlight.

Which is why most Ereaders have a 'night' mode... :p (turns the background black and the letter white/grey) Frankly my ereader is always in night mode, I hate bright white screens.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pochreyes:
Hello,

Has anyone tried using XCPUScalar? There is a new version available released today. I'd just like to know your comments if it's worth it, and if this type of application is safe to use.

Poch
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] d-o-h!:
I use v2.53 which seems very stable.

I'm not sure how good it is at over-clocking and the real difference this makes yo the XDA's useability.

However, the fact that it can reduce CPU speed depending on need, and therefore extend battery life is quite useful.

From the release notes for 2.6, there are a couple of improvements I'd welcome, such as the ability to set the speed on boot rather than revert to default.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cchris:
Is it stable...? Did it hardreset anyone?

Last time I tried to overclock a PDA was with one of my Ipaqs... it hard reset... and I never did it again...

Can someone give me enough reasurance to try this new piece of SW?

Thanks,

Chris
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] aikon359:
started using xcpu scalar last night, and i gotta say, its incredible!

got my xda2 running at 530mhz at the moment

before that i used to use pocket hack master, and was good, but complicated,* plus my xda2 would only run stable at 528mhz*

so i got 2mhz extra lol! ;-)

i highly recomend!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cchris:
Thank you!

But... how do you know up till what point is stable... and at what point it hardresets? How do you know you could push it to 530 rather than 500 or 700? You push it until it crashes? You get a warning message?

Sorry if the question is a bit naive :roll:

Thanks,

Chris
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] unapproachable2kx:
The maximum stable frequency for xda2 is 472-530 Mhz.

Where 472 has more benefits in stability and fatest memory clock.

Mine runs good on 530 in Os menu,but freezes instantly in hard processing soft..like Quake,WmPlayer.(it is also like to anaylze if some programs are running in background and don't support these frequencies)

Note: some application like Camera are more sensitive than others to overclocked fr. but personally I did only encontered benefits in Camera app with more fps.

A benchmark reported that in same cases better performance is on 400mhz and 472 max. (on xda2)

Faster overclock will only degrade your performance,but you can try it.. at least you will have to Soft-Reset or Hard-Reset your device,so backu-up first all your data.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] unapproachable2kx:
There is no 2mhz extra,the real freq. is 528 but approx. to 530

Also Hack Master is recommende for more professional use,because it offer many options like no other overclock application.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] unapproachable2kx:
I am sure you are interested to read the overclock results:

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] casper0k:
Hi everyone.

Could anybody compile BlueStacks App Player for Windows RT?

It would be great to use this app on our tablet with Win RT

I use on my laptop (win7) and wish o use on my Surface RT

Official site

Thanx a lot
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
It would be a great app to have, but seeing that it's not open-source there is about zero chance of it ever getting ported by the community.

Your best bet is to just hope that they (the actual makers of the app) decide to bring it over to RT, which is possible but unlikely.

Search next time; the devs here are up to their ears in requests for closed-source applications and are pretty fed up with it. Sorry.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] MeWhoElse:
They've actually already stated that it's coming...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
Not explicitly. They hinted at it in a Help forum post, but never confirmed or denied it. And that was months ago.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] guitar1969:
Actually they had listed on their site that they were working on an ARM version.but not sure if they still are. Seems unlikely MS would allow it in the store due to direct competition with the windows store.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
MS doesn't have a whole lot of control of things outside the Store. They could side-load an app pretty easily.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The vast majority of RT devices aren't "jailbroken" for sideloading arbitrary ARM binaries. Also, remember that RT doesn't (currently) support OpenGL, which means any Android apps/games that use advanced graphics won't work unless BlueStacks write and include an openGL-via-DirectX compatibility layer.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
I meant side-loading a Metro app, which can be done by just about everybody.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Cant sideload metro apps without a developers certificate
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Derp. Yes, of course sideloading is the obvious way to go about it. Getting the dev license is easy, and yeah BS would have to sign their app, but that's not exactly difficult and their cert doesn't have to be signed by anybody else; it just requires that the end user install the cert before the app if it doesn't already chain to a trusted authority. The appx installer script automates all of that, though.

That said, the OpenGL issue is still there. Don't count on 3D games, at a minimum, working.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Don't forget however, that all of this is pretty much irrelevant right now. The Surface lacks the power to run Bluestacks. On my 6-core 2.3 ghz 6 gigs of ram computer with a great graphics unit, Bluestacks is still relatively slow. Just imagine it on the quad-core 1.4 with 2 gigs of ram that the Surface has. Not to mention it's on ARM, which is considerably less powerful than x86 or x64.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
I dont think bluestacks is a multithreaded application in which case your 6 cores would be irrelevant and it would be purely down to your 2.3ghz clockspeed, which is not high at all. 6gb of RAM would also be irrelevant as no android app requires that much RAM so it simply wont be needed. GPU, not so sure what happens there, most of the apps I try running dont seem to enable my GPU at all so I am not sure if bluestacks is using software or hardware OpenGL, but then I havent tried any 3d games or anything. It runs ok on my 3.5ghz AMD athlon 2 but its not always as perfect as lets say a nexus 7 tablet running android natively.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
I'm admittedly not 100% sure on how BlueStacks works (is it a native x86 DalvikVM, or is it emulating a full ARM system?), but it should be, at least in theory, possible to get it to run as naively as it does on Android by just porting the DalvikVM to Windows RT. That should result in speeds at least similar to a lower end Android tablet (Windows is bigger and has more cruft than the linux kernel that's running the DVM). With some sort of reverse WINE scenario it should also be possible to get a degree of binary compatibility for native libraries/addons.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Sort of, yes. But still, that means the Surface would be way less powerful. Also, my RAM is EATEN by Bluestacks because it's not apps that are the problem to run, it's Android. You're basically loading an entire virtual machine onto your RAM to run, in a program shell, then running Android apps on top of that. So the power of the device does matter... however:

Bluestacks would have to run a full emulation of ARM in order to run all apps, right? Because when you install native x86 Android, it runs very few apps from the store, because they aren't compiled for ARM.

Netham45 could be right though that we could kind of make Android run natively, though I'm highly dubious about it happening through Bluestacks. Bluestacks most likely won't make an ARM port (especially cause I doubt Microsoft would allow it in the store) and if we did have access to source code, it's still built around running on Intel processors, and would probably have to go through all sorts of unnatural emulation... So making a totally separate Android program from scratch (which would require inordinate amounts of work) would probably be the best bet.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
No. I think bluestacks is actually "just" a port of the dalvik VM to run on windows.

Android apps are not compiled for a specific CPU type. They are compiled for the dalvik virtual machine which is in a way similar to the java virtual machine, in fact a dalvik applications source code is java source code hense why many people say android apps are java, in reality the dalvik VM is very different from the java VM and the 2 are not compatible.

The vast majority of apps do actually work on x86 just fine.

The main problem is that google restricts apps based on your device and often it doesn't recognise x86 devices so doesn't show results, the default app manifest files don't actually restrict platform but many devs set them to arm for some reason. With various tools to spoof what device you appear as you can still gain access to thses other apps.

The problem apps are those that use the NDK (a small minority). NDK apps do have native code, but not just for ARM. The NDK default settings are to generate binaries for ARMv7, but it can be set to x86, ARMv6, MIPS or to compile multiple binaries for a mixture of the above (causes its own issue as it includes the binaries for all platforms in one APK which loads the relevant binary at runtime, good for compatibility as one APK covers all devices but makes the final APK massive). x86 devices of course cannot run ARM compiled apps which does include a few big name apps.

I don't know if bluestacks has left it as pure dalvik VM on x86 or if it does include an ARM emulator for the NDK but it certainly isn't just running an ARM emulator and tyen android atop of it.

I don't experience the ram eating effects you mention either.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jtg007:
That's exactly what my understanding was as well, although what I'm about to say somewhat contradicts that.

Interestingly, http://www.bluestacks.com/technology.html says that BlueStacks is "fully configurable" and that it "supports" Windows on ARM as well as x86 Chrome, even though neither of those are actually available today. So, not sure if that page is before or ahead of its time.

"BlueStacks employs a lightweight, optimized, soft hypervisor with deep enhancements to support "embedded virtualization". End consumers can enjoy the full Android environment through BlueStacks, or just install Android app icons directly on the Windows desktop."

What the page basically says is that the core virtualization that BS uses is very easily configurable to different combinations or permutations of OSs; that the technology can just as easily run Windows on Android or Android on Chrome as it can Android on Windows, which is the only current release. It also implies that BS can do BOTH a mere dalvik vm (just install apps to the Desktop) as well as a complete system emulation (full Android experience).

There may be hope for RT yet.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] chinabull:
As far as I remember, Bluestacks is using QEMU as there base platform. So it's probably still running ARM code in emulator.

I am looking at if we can port the Dalvik VM over to Windows RT. Anybody want to join the explorations?

So far I can see the Dalvik VM has lots of generated ARM assembly code and have huge dependencies on linux.

Porting would need quite a bit of effort.

Developers from Windroy has done it for the Windows X86 platform. If they can do it for Windows RT, it'll be much easier.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripranav:
Hello everyone,

I am currently using Galaxy S2 i9100g with stock JB 4.1.2 and have also rooted the device.

Now I downloaded some 5-6 games which have huge SD Data over the internet and followed the procedure for installation of the apk and the SD data but after many tries none of the games are working. Because from where ever I got those games it had comments with install instructions e.g copy com.blah.blah to sdcard (tried both internal and external storage, but none of the location worked)/Android/data or obb (whichever applicable) then install the apk and run the game. I mean most of the games had the same procedure and I tried all of them but none of them are working. And in the same comments there were some more comments of other users telling it that worked or not. If it did not work, none of the website mentioned the solution for it. Even if they replied with the solution, they just say copy com.blah.blah to sdcard/blah/blah.

I really got pissed of and realised that none of those websites will ever have proper solutions on exactly how to make those game run. I didn`t sleep last night trying to find the solution on the internet. So I finally decided to get help from some professionals here at xda.

Please let me know if there is a proper way to make these games work.

I hate to say it, but im just fed up with my nexus 7 and looking for any other android tablets out there that work. im going to return it and get a refund to use to by a different tablet.

I really liked the nexus 7 and really wish i did not have to switch, but its just one issue after another with the nexus 7, and now my nexus is basically useless because it is always having trouble connecting to wifi. I have searched for a fix and there is no sign of a fix from either google or the community that fixes this issue. And before that issue there was the bluetooth stuttering and the nexus refusing to play nice with other chargers unlike every other android device ive seen. My nexus sometimes even refuses to turn on, and only does after holding the power button down randomly over a period of hours.

So im wondering what other 7 inch tablets are out their (other than the kindle or ipad) that would be a good alternative. Right now im looking at the galaxy tab 2 because it is cheap and has good specs as well
