This is result for cyanomod007 v20
[Desire General] tcris45:
Yeah i see that 4.+ roms get more points in benchmark than gb ones but i tested both in gaming and still gb wins :)
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
My results on CyanoMod007 v24 if some one wants my settings just say

For me games runs far better than on gb rooms but i experince some freeze and need to remove battery other than that and the battery drain that is quicker that gb rooms but better in standby
[Desire General] tcris45:
try playing dead trigger, into the dead whit 95%+ lag free whit a jb based rom :)
[Desire General] HTC-DeSiRe-S-S510e:
hello i flashed thease scripts and my phone has stuc at white htc screen im on mildwild gb rom rooted s-off
[Desire General] tcris45:
then try other base :) dgb, mildwildbased on redux2, cyanogenmod official nightly/stable , i use that combo of script for a long time and i didn't faced any bootlop :)
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
Chartres eyluit.

Tryed it doesnt even load and it freezes the phone and i wont xpect to handle that game very good.

What i said in my post it was : Games moves better on jb than on Gb for me the only downside is the freeze
[Desire General] TheRamon:
I don't give a **** for benchmark results. It has to feel fast and snappy, that's the best benchmark imo! :D
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
It is snapy it doest lag with a 10 class sd

[Desire General] ZeGuitarist:
If you believe benchmark scores are all-important, and consider regular freezes and battery pulls to be nothing but minor annoyances, you need to sort out your priorities IMO.

Fact is, on our old hardware, GB simply works better. That is to say, it's faster, more reliable, and less battery-heavy.

And that goes for day-to-day use, as well as heavy gaming situations specifically. Better 3D performance is all well and good, but it's no use when your phone is frozen up.
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
Yes you are totaly right about that but freezes happens only in some games witch i uninstaled already

But i got bored of gb it is more reliable and better batery but......i know eventualy i will get bored of jb too and come back to gb lol

On gb more exactly mw8 i was getting soft rebot

When i buyed this desire it had on it mw7 witch i was very stable for me but forgot o do a nandroid backup when i moved to mw8

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] TheRamon:
Then why don't you switch between different GB roms? I think JB isn't just done for Desire, and it never will be. I think the developers will discontinue anyway, we're speaking about a 3,5 years old device..... Run a stable, lightweight GB rom, tweak some stuff, and it will be stable as a rock and quite fast (but fast is different for every person)
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
Eventualy i will but now i like the look of jb and mostly the browser sems to move faster and smoother on jb and im a havy user of the default browser

Try the Rom from China called MIUI. I flashed it in recent days. And it run faster than any other Rom I had used before. Hope my answer could help you.

Wow you weren't joking its reapply snappy and its good in games too tnx man
[Desire General] TheRamon:
It f*cked up my Desire a few weeks ago. Tried MIUI too, was pretty nice but too different from 'Android' for me. After a few days the device got slower. Decided to flash a nice GB rom back. Appeared that I wasn't rooted anymore. But that was fixed very easily. What was worse, is that it screwed up my partitions. The rom which worked wonderful before didn't recognize my SD-partitions anymore. Had to backup and wipe everything, and re-partition it.

MIUI, once.... and never again
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
Can say more about your problem because i know only basic stuff of android and i can't say how good this rom is because its to soon only 2 days.

About performance its same as CM the UI its very smooth and it launches apps very fast, about the internet on this rom is faster than on CM and smoother scrolling overall its snappy and fast little rom on 2.3.7 witch its its best for desire
[Desire General] tcris45:
yeah but try gaming performance :)
[Desire General] alicarbovader:
Try instaling a GB ROM then flash Tiamta's kernel. Take up the freq to 1267 MHz, and viola!! You are awesome!!! The phone will run for 15 minutes, then shut down due to extra high freq. Better keep it below 1.2 and you'll be fine.
[Desire General] FastSkynet:
I dont play heavy games on my phone only temple run 2 or hill climb witch runs great for me its important that the phone its fast no soft rebot no freeze

Hi!

I came here to give my opinion, probably like some of you, I have Obssesive Rom Flashing Disorder,...So yeah, Ive flashed almost all the available roms on xda on mi I4G, and honestly, i test them all with Quadrant at first, then Buggy Beach Blitz and In to the death,..

I've had mi I4G for 2 months, and the roms that I frequent the most are:

-Oxygen V2(Best ive tried great 3D performance) and

-HydrogenMod(Ginger Bread Rom, stupid fast due to lower ram usage than newer android versions, but lacks of good 3d performance)

-Also Lexterminia GB Rom i dont remember the name of it( It has better 3D performance that Hydrogen but the problem is that its bloated with lots of useless apps-IMO-like GoLauncher and 2 camera apps...well,..too many apps IMO I love AOSP roms)

If you are Facebook and Facebook messenger hardcore user i recomend you to install HydrogenMod and smart launcher..

If you are casual Gamer and like playing Hill Climbing or some 2d games and somre good old 3d games like Virtual table tennis 3d, i recommend you to use the GingerBrea Roms i recommend,..

But if you are Hardcore gamer till the day you die just like me and you like playing games like in to the death or some racing games like asphalt,..well stay away from GB roms, i think that the have older GPU Libs or something like that its like GPU on PC if you have old drivers you'll get poor performance but if you update the drivers for a newer and optimiezed ones..You'll get better performance.

So yeah..thats my opinion.

BTW: I Hate SENSE roms.

Dude..with Oxygen V2 i get 2500 and in Antutu i got 7000

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Sie-:
I am looking at mounting the external SD as the internal.

My question really is can someone explain the vold mount points in such that if I see /vold/179:33 how do I know where 179:33 points to or how do I know which numerical value to use in my commands?

I also see the same listed to different mount points, how does it know to differentiate?

Yess. That's what I'm looking for. Are there any higher battery capacity or is that the only one available?

[Xperia Z Accessories] alias_neo:
I have two issues with this,

First, it uses the pogo pins, for the dock, and that tends to make my screen unresponsive.

Second, the device is likely to think it is docked the entire time this thing is connected, since it uses the dock pins. I know it's not a major issue, but could be an annoyance depending on your setup.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
only problem is...heat
[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
What I see as good in this is extra "charger" in car and it can be used as semi car dock.
[Xperia Z Accessories] jamesbra:
Pretty cool add on. Would be best if one could turn off the dock behavior though.

Also just bought one

it actually cost RMB$86, with shipment to Hong Kong roughly costs HK$150 or US$20

the universal solution would probably be the external battery pack that fits all device, the nice and handy one costs RMB$59 ($30 shipment fee on top)

issues

1. it's rated 1A, you probably won't be able to clip it to your depleted XZ and continue whatever you were doing on the screen. please comment if otherwise

2. How long for charging XZ from 0 or 10% to 100% screen off or screen on?

3. How long to charge the brick itself?

Haven't measure the temp. But feel like 38-40c
[Xperia Z Accessories] heretic:
Don't get your hopes high, this will only charge to 50-60%, maybe 70% max. I've had a similar charger case for my MOTO RAZR XT910 and it only charged the phone up to 85% from 10-15. It was rated 2800 mAh, while the phone's battery was @ 1750 mAh.

Will probably get this anyway. Haha :)
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
were you using the phone at the time of charging? if so...duh?
[Xperia Z Accessories] orenxda:
That's right, all my external chargers act like that, whats more using the phone. Got a 5000mAh one that can barely do more than a full charge.

I don't expect this one to double the battery life but it can be useful.
[Xperia Z Accessories] fards:
if they made an external charger just like this (but without the battery) it would be perfect for me !
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
how...would u charge if there is no battery?
[Xperia Z Accessories] fards:
it as a dock...

I usually charge mine via usb, from an 10ah battery pack, when I'm cycling.Currently building a pogo pin charge to fit into a slim fit case so that I can stick said case to console in my velomobile (in my pic) and use it as a satnav.

One of those without battery would work nicely along the same lines.

If this one can take an external power source and charge the Xperia at the same time it would be great, but I can't see it doing that.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
well did a little research and so far this company (power bank) reputation for making battery case is not so good, everything from not charging to burn people hand so...i hope they fix it.
[Xperia Z Accessories] philje123:
The most efficient way to use this case is to charge phone and case to full and leave case on (keeping phone battery full).

Letting the phone battery discharge then turning on the case looses a lot of energy.

I had a powerskin on sensation so know.

[Xperia Z Accessories] babylonbwoy:
The concept is interesting but I'm skeptical for the quality of the product, 20$ with a battery in it, they must use very low-end components. Hope something more "trustable" will come out.
[Xperia Z Accessories] cy888:
Its this battery case safe to use all the time? I mean can we keep the phone in the battery case all the time without any issues, like it won't degrade our stock battery? since its basically constantly charging while in the case.

if you dont know....all battery come from china, even MUGEN. The sad part is, they are all probably manufacturer at the same factory.

Once the XZ battery is at 10% please put the battery clip on and see how much it charges in percentage and also how long the time.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
eh...charging it, it get all they way to 45 C kinda hot.... but i was watching movie too will do more testing.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
after 3-4 days of testing, This thing is good to go, get my money. I charge both device to 100%. keep the case charging my cell through out the day and it can probaly double your battery life. Ussually by the time i get home from work i'll be down to 30%, now I am @ 50% on the battery case and 100% on the phone..and no i will not post pictures because i'm lazy.

p.s it does get hot, dont play intensive game and charge at the same time.
[Xperia Z Accessories] naveen94:
So it charges from 0 to 100?
[Xperia Z Accessories] mihaid:
Could you do the test I mentioned at post 53? Keeping the clip on battery attached all the time is a no/no for me.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
no...not doing that...theres a thread saying somewhere that it actually take in more voltage and possibly create more heat for the phone. The phone actually take in less voltage when it is at 90% or more. been doing this for couple days and the temperature is relatively OK but still hot with heat reaching 42C and low as 30's.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

probaly not but maybe 70-80% the phone currently up 12 hours and now using phone batter its still at 87% typically i would be down to 10-20% by now.
[Xperia Z Accessories] mihaid:
Ah, if it can't charge a low battery from say10-20% to 90% then it's fairly bad as a battery charger.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
ok then dont buy it...I never say it couldnt...I just prefer not to do it that way...my way works good for me.

[Xperia Z Accessories] Spikestrip:
It's not good for your battery to maintain a full charge all the time. The battery actually needs to go up and down in charges to maintain health.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
is this base on the theory that it need to calibrate? because the myth has been busted by google developer...also I rather a bad battery than a phone getting too hot and explode while i'm taking a call, and yes phones has done that before.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Spikestrip:
No, this is based on my time as a computer technician. When someone has a laptop that is less than a year old but the battery is just shot, will barley hold a charge, almost always that particular user had their laptop permanently attached to power. I worked in a very busy retail store for a particularly popular electronics manufacturer, and can say without a doubt from the thousands of computers I spent time troubleshooting, keeping power fed into your battery and maintaining 100% charge constantly is about the best way to abuse your battery and the quickest way to kill it. Not trying to be critical, genuinely trying to help. The calibration is something I never really felt was effective, so it's not surprising to see it busted. But constant power, I promise, is bad for your battery.

Cheers.

PS: I don't understand how keeping the battery charging would prevent it exploding. In my experience with thousands of laptop batteries, the ones that exploded often turned out to be the ones who kept their laptops on the charger constantly.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
while your statement maybe true, I would try it if it doesnt get hot, but I know for a fact that this thing get super hot under charging condition.

because it runs hot when it is charging...thats a fact, it reaches 42-48C alone without using it.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Spikestrip:
I feel like I must be misunderstanding you. The case in question is charging the phone through the pogo pins. Does your case have a switch to turn the power to the phone on and off? I was also assuming the phone was charged every night. If you keep the power on to the phone's battery from the case, and charge them together before the phone's battery starts draining, that is definitely not so good for the battery. Realistically though, if you go through one full cycle a week you're in decent shape. Batteries are nowhere near as sensitive as they used to be. Just don't want it to be completely full all the time.

Was it the phone's battery or the case's battery that exploded? I'm curious, since I don't like my devices to explode.

no it does not, it just have the options of turning charge on and off. The case actually have the option of once it is fully charge it turn off the case.

this was years ago (3-4) with the HTC phone, it actually made national news, a guy was using it and it got hotter and exploded in his face, similar things happen to other user but it dint explore in his face, just melted sitting on a desk.

P.S anyone has a Voltage tool and could check out the Voltage of the dock at 100% charged, 80-95% charged, 50% charged an empty ?
