[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spoderman:
Hello!

I run this game, with my nexus (AOSP R11 w/ Franco kernel r384, 1,2Ghz CPU and 512Mhz GPU) with all settings maxed out (lens splash, boost, water reflection, hi-res textures...)everything, maxed out, and it gives me 10-20fps, reasonable for a dual core, 2007 GPU.

BUT, if i turn shader complexity to low (only has medium and low settings), it turns the game 30+fps (with 25fps spikes on jumps, because the water splashs the screen, but it's lovely and i won't turn it off, since it's nothing compared to the 30+ fps i always get).

That setting, that eats up my phone like a savage, seems to do NOTHING to the visuals, really, i've tried to find something it changes, but with little sucess.. the waves stay, splashs, everything!

I just want to ask the pro's, what the hell does that thing do? Shader complexity... despite the fact that eats frames.

I really love this phone, old as sh*t hardware, but still kicking some ass on top notch games :D

Love it so much!

Btw, great game too! Much better than the first riptide, now without tegra only crap ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnricoD:
i think you should post in "Q&A" or "general" .. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spoderman:
I just posted it here because the thread "Real Racing 3" and it's problems it's here too :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnricoD:
Don't worry bro ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NutellaBanane:
I also love this game :D!

I turned everything on and maxed out the settings and i'm on a solid 30-32 fps !

I'm on ASPK kernel right now and yeah what should i say great game :D!

And well to your question i don't really know, but maybe it's something about the details displayed.

Sorry if i'm wrong but it's just an idea

Could you please give details on how to root and unlock the bootloader on the Sprint version? I read that the 4G wimax stops working on the BoostMobile counterpart, so I'm scared :s
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twisteraml:
I recently got a t989 with firmware UVMC6 preinstalled. And I can't get the phone to odin mode. I have tried all methods like inserting usb cable while holding volume up and down button, inserting usb cable while holding power and volume down button. But it always take me to recovery mode instead. I even tried to boot it through adb command prompt but the phone isn't recognized by adb. I have usb driver installed correctly. I have used different usb cables. Does anyone know if the lastested batch of T989s even have a download mode?

Thank you for your help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chris9446:
Try holding just volume down instead of both... (telus/koodo phones use volume down only to get to download mode)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
My replacement s2 was built in may and it had DL mode, try booting the phone just like u would to go into recovery but after the first vibration let go of power and vol- quick, should bring up a screen that says "installing custom firmware may cause blah blah blah" press vol+ to continue, that's how mine is anyway
[HTC Droid DNA] imaudi5000:
just got my dna a few days ago and love it, much better than my d2g. anyway, i'm annoyed by all the stupid icons in the notification bar and was wondering if there is anyway to turn some of them off. like the location icon, even thou i have all location services turned off. i also dont like the wifi network available icon, is there anyway to stop the phone from searching and notifying on its own? i've looked all over the settings menu but cant find anything. im not rooted yet but are there any apps to help with this without rooting?

thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Settings > WiFi > Menu > Advance > "Network Notification" turn off. You can also modify the build.prop file ex:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=135

You can add to build.prop under Additional build props if you don't see the scan interval.

I don't know what ROM your on but I'm on CM.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] naierakram:
So I just got the new nexus 7, unlocked it and rooted it, but all my games data are on my old nexus 7, so can I just take the game file and move it to the new nexus 7 with titanium backup files and restore it, will that work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phydeaux98038:
As the title suggests, I'm trying to get SafeStrap 3.11 installed on my XT912 (Verizon carrier). I've verified root access, and even tried a redo of the root access, as well as multiple installations of the SafeStrap 3.11 APK, but the only thing I get here is "Unfortunately, SafeStrap has stopped". I'm at a loss here, and hoping that someone may have a suggestion to get me past this road block.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AztekSoul:
Download de apk file again,before you install it,go into recovery and wipe cache the install safestrap again,hopefully that should do it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phydeaux98038:
I'm getting no love from the recovery. Red triangle and dead droid image. I have ROM Manager, but there is apparently no official CMR for the Motorola RAZR.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AztekSoul:
When you get to de opened android press volume+ and volume- at the same time that will take you in to recovery and you can do the cache wipe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phydeaux98038:
Ahhh, got it. OK, that allowed me into the recovery menu. Wiped the cache, reinstalled SafeStrap... and no dice. SafeStrap still comes back with the same stopped message.

Do the Droid gods require a sacrifice? ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
dunno what happened i did a soft reset and i have lost everything.

i have regularly used active sync how to i go about putting all the applications i have installed back on the blue angel.

is there a quick way or am i going to have to put them all on manually
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
I think that depends on whether you ever backed up your phone. You would know if you'd did it as you can't really do it by mistake. You'll prolly have to reinstall all the apps. I assume the contacts/appointments etc retored themselves when you docked?

My XDA2 used to do stuff like this because I had a dodgy program on that let me use an infrared keyboard. Did you install any apps/make any system changes before the soft reset?

Go into cwm by pressing volume down when on boot up then wipe system then reflash rom and it should work without deleting user data
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheVojin:

How to reflash rom,i have no custom roms installed,and no recovery app
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaiselW:
Download a ftf file for your phone then move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then open flashtool then press the flash icon then choose flashmode then select your ftf file follow the instructions and your phone will take a few minutes to switch on first time but it helps this method can be used to unbrick and to return to stock YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA WITH THIS METHOD BUT IS 100% WORKING
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Koopa777:
I am looking to upgrade to the Sprint LG G2, and the deciding factor is how LG handles the root/ROM community. My current phone is the OG Photon, which Motorola permalocked the bootloader, then canceled ICS. Even unlocked, Motorola had terrible driver support, where camcorders, 4G and more would break on custom ROMs. Being on Gingerbread yet sucks, as such I refuse to buy a phone that can't be unlocked(T-Mobile has horrible coverage in my area, or I'd have bought a Nexus 4 long ago). So I'd like to see the opinions of the OG, to see how support is, and to see how easy it is to unlock. I understand how stock Android functions, but I have a Nexus 10. I'm used to 'fastboot oem unlock' and pure AOSP support/factory images and such haha. Does LG release the stock ROMs or bootloaders or anything? Does LG even use stock fastboot? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to not get burned again(Motorola.....).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
I'm happy happy man right know development is sky rocketing ...

They have a locked boot loader but their is an unlock currently for it ...

Lg doesn't do aosp type roms but they even their stock ROM is pretty nice tho....

They've updated us to jb 4.1 .. Looking to c if they give us 4.3 as our last hoorah Lol....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] 5tar5cream:
The LGOG community has been amazing!

We all here are one big family trying to make sure our device stays up to date with the latest & greatest. I can't thank our Devs enough for all the hard work they put in.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shaungregg:
I actually looked here to make sure there was development for this phone before I purchased it, Optimus G running Vectus rom makes me smile each time I pick up my phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Its growing by the day! I just got this phone 1 month ago and there was an alright amount of ROMs. but now in the past month there was over 6 new ROMs!! Were getting up there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
I came from the DROID RAZR, and this phone feels like a beast compared to that. Granted, Verizons network was better but I left them on principal. I haven't rooted yet, but I will in 10 more days (return period). I don't believe I will flash a custom ROM right off the bat though because the stock ROM is plenty smooth and does what it's supposed to. That's so not like Motoblur. It was almost necessary to root and flash in order to have a decent user experience on the Motorola phones (I've had 3). I'm pleasantly surprised by this phone and its stock ROM though. If you pick this phone it won't be a mistake.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] droidmk:
+1, I have had my phone about 2 months and since then it has gone from a handful of ROMs to 10+, I was even inspired to make my own ROM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
Soon its going to be like the s3 thread.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
Lots of development going on! It really is sweet. When I first got here, there were only a few different choices. I had a ton of trouble getting my first builds together(and still do :p), but the devs and users here were very knowledgible and helpful. It is one of the best forums I have had the pleasure of being a part of! And we're still rolling out more!.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
4.3 YO!!!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
WHERE?!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
I was saying its coming soon! lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Don't play with my heart like that man, lol. I know for a fact that we'll get 4.3 eventually, as well as maybe an official LG update to..... Whatever it is that they're planning on shipping the G2 with (4.2.1 or 4.2.2?). We have a flagship phone with some high end specs. If we don't get an official update for our phones from LG, it'll be because of just outright neglect. :(

That's what AOSP is for though, I guess. :D

[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
I think you are one of those many, that used the latest india rom available before rooting (from the 1.18 hboot) so no luck for you, because there is no ruu for that version.

THIS

is as far as you can get to stock ATM.
[HTC One V] shanmukh.thakur:
BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW??

for revert to stock???
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
It is deatiled in the thread I linked above. Flash twrp to your phone, put the files downloaded for your phone to the folder mentioned (I haven't used TWRP in my life) flash back stock kernel (boot.img) attached to that post an recover from twrp. This is for stock rooted rom. If you want a full stock rom you need in additin the following:

-bootup your phone and remove the root (the SU program can do it for you)

-go to fastboot usb mode, flash the stock recovery (also attached to the post) and relock the bootloader. (fastboot oem relock)

This later is not really needed or advised, because the BL will remain 'relocked' so if you want back stock because of service under warranty there is not much chance for it. (warranti is void because of BL unlock with HTCdev.com)

OR

If you want stock "like" feeleing there is mySense. Snappier than stock, but has everithing in it :)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sportfreunde:
Just wondering what apps I can use to improve the performance of my YPG1 US version without installing a ROM. I have installed a couple roms before but was a bit frustrated by losing certain functions and one of them actually made it slower.

Device is rooted atm but only rooted apps I think are SetCPU, AdFree, and Superuser.

I use it mainly for video and reading so I would love to be able to change the brightness from the dropdown menu. I also have a problem with XBMC crashing when I use the Navi-X program most of the time or going very very slowly when running Navi-X so would love to be able to use that, I think it has to do with ram usage even though I don't have that many background apps running.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Just a heads up, but have you tried REDD? It is literally a modified version of our stock rom, and you don't lose any functions.

Firstly, you can install a custom kernel if you want. It does help with performance (you get a boost in available ram), and will give you more options with setCPU. Now if you don't want to install anything then you can still setup your min frequency to at least 400 mhz, and keep max at 1000mhz on setCPU. This should keep things zippy.

Another thing you can do is change out the launcher. Many people don't realize this, but using a different launcher can vastly increase the performance of pretty much any android device. I recommend using Holo Launcher, since it is light on ram, and gives a pretty decent performance boost. However, many people love ADW Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher&hl=en, or Launcher Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fede.launcher&hl=en so if you haven't changed out your launcher then try that as well.

Our players have a knack for using too much ram. For some reason, it may say you don't have that many background apps running but you actually do (you just can't see them in the task manager). For me, I found an app called auto memory manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman&hl=en. This app is really simple to use. Basically you set a threshold for each category of apps, and once the available ram goes under that threshold it automatically frees up ram. When I was running it on REDD I almost always had 100mb-150mb free. It kept my device very smooth. I still use it on the JB roms. I had mine set like this 40, 70, 100, 120, 140, 160.

Along with auto memory manager, you can also install clean master https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en, it's pretty much the ccleaner of android. It cleans up junk files that clutter up your device, and you can also set it to free up ram along with auto memory manager. It works awesome.

You say you want to still be able to hange the brightness from the dropdown? There's an app for that lol. Notification Toggle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en, is pretty much like power toggles on other roms. I have to say it doesn't look exactly like that on GB (that's what it looks like on ics+ roms). It looks like this; You can set this up almost anyway you like and add almost any toggles you want

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ryukiri:
I think you should try an app called Greenify that is available on the Play Store. It "hibernates" apps that are not running so those apps won't run in the background and take up valuable ram or drain your precious battery. (You can pick what apps you want to hibernate)

You should try it out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sportfreunde:
Think I'm gonna install that notification toggle along with a kernel. Can anyone recommend which kernel would improve performance the most (ignore battery life).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
To be honest they are all about the same performance wise. I went with Klin's R3 kernel, because for me Terrasilent was giving me an issue where it would boot into recovery, and wipe all my data.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AEVAREX:
You do not need to install anything in order to be able to adjust the brightness from the dropdown menu. I only know for sure that this works on the yp-g1( stock rom), and that it does not work on yp-g70. Other models I do not know about.

All you have to do is when you put your finger on the top of the screen as if pulling down the menu, just press and hold until the shade that pops up dissapears, at wich point you can slide your finger left or right to decrease or increase the brightness. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sportfreunde:
Wow thanks that worked. It doesn't adjust it through the full range I think but that's nice and easy, I couldn't get the toggle thing working.

Think I am gonna put a kernel in though to try and avoid Dolphin or XBMC from crashing so often.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Julianbc:
Hi, I am completely new to android and need some help with the basics.

A few days ago I ordered a ZTE v967s phone from DX, it should arrive in a couple of weeks. I understand it is going to come preloaded with ZTE's version of android, which doesn't provide access to the Google play store. I would like to install a ROM as close to stock android as possible, with english language and access to the store.

From what I have been reading on the forum and on the net I gather that to accomplish this I need to: 1) root the phone, 2) install cwm recovery, 3) install a custom rom.

I found a root tool for mkt6589 phones like the v967s on this post, it seems pretty straightfoward to use:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40624111&postcount=1&nocache=1

I found a CWM recovery for the phone on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43124312&postcount=15&nocache=1&z=2602546603884548

Lastly, I found a suitable rom on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43511231&postcount=46&nocache=1&z=7190561038441956

The root tool has simple instructions, so no doubts there. The CWM is a different story though, I have found guides on how to install it but they are usually specific for a particular smartphone, or they refer to a zip file (this is a .img), and from what I read it seems messing up the CWM's install might brick the phone. So if anyone can point me to a step by step on how to do this, I would be most grateful.

On how to install the custom rom, after reading a couple of guides I believe I have to boot into CWM and: 1) wipe data, 2) wipe cache, 3) wipe dalvik cache, 4) install zip from sdcard.

So, I would like to know if I got the process right or if I am missing something. I also need help with CWM's installation.

Thanks.
