All i'm trying to say here is, that if you would want to see complex games, with higher quality to be created...you need better system specs, no doubt on this one. By creating a constraint when there is a solution (having more ram - 128megs), it would curb logetivity of the device in terms for future compatibility...and would limit developers from experimenting and pushing the boundaries ahead.

A little about myself...I'm one of the two co founders of a game development firm where we create cutting edge 3D technologies, and one of the biggest constraints we have seen with mobile platforms (non-ppc especially) are the device constraints....mainly memory and storage limitations. This greatly limits the quality and possibilities of creating high quality games. I guess, we would soon see the same with pocket pc games down the line. Well, asking for a 3D graphics processor would perhaps be too much (not for me though!), but come on!, RAM is something one cant compromise on!

Imagine closing all the applications, trying to free up those 25megs ram that you need to run the game? You dont manage to get it, because the OS hasnt taken a soft reset for a while and has misplaced memory "magically" or the OS bloated over time (an MS trademark)...and you need to soft reset your device just to play it?

One of the recent games we developed for MDC 2004 was a high quality arcade game...now that was during mid 2004. If i remember correctly, it needed roughly 22megs of ram...it wasnt a constraint then, but now it is! Especially, if i have to upgrade all graphics to support VGA quality, its perhaps going to go all the way to 30-35megs of RAM....that wouldnt work!

(I'll try and post a couple screenshots of the game sometime ;))

Best,

San

Cheers for the excellent reply...

But are you aware of any game NOW that won't run on the JASJAR doe to a lack of memory?

And how did Spectrum 48 programmers create such excellent game with about 40KB of memory? :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
You wouldn't find one, because developers wouldn't release such a game losing a big market share...they would instead downsize it to run on such a device! At the end of the day, you don't see a problem...its the developers fire fighting to ensure compatibility. the most important fact to note is, this would start curbing advancements...

Here's an analogy...intel packed terrible graphic chips on their motherboards, and infested the world with it...even when there existed technology ten times more capable. The fun for the end user begins when Vista is out ;-)

Cheers!

Are you making a ROM? Want users to switch between Themes without downloading tons of zips and flashing them and ending up in a mess?

Here is the solution - Quantum Themer!

You maybe wondering how it works. The answer is:

Based on VillianTheme System! What I did was first tried to run the script on my Phone, ended up with 10-15 errors, fixed them! Now all this App does behind the scenes is Feed the Theme you select to the script and the script does the rest! But if you do see, the VillianTheme Template itself is nearly 600 KB and the App is just 650 KB ￼

Let's get Straight into the list of features! ￼

Now, this will be "Copy, paste" from a VillianTheme Tutorial on "How to make Themes". You may skip to the last point if you know/understand how it works! I strongly recommend you to have a look at the Attached theme for reference. Open it with your favorite Zip Browser(WinRar, 7-Zip)

Hey guys.. I need serious help for my device.:rolleyes:

Problem: My phone's display is not working properly.:rolleyes:

I rooted my device successfully, used my rooted device around 3months without any problem.

Till, One morning I woke up and saw that my phone's display is kind of shaking. (no hardware damage)

I have currently cwm 5.0.4 installed with stock rom and kernel. I only used 'nameless' rom after my device showed up this problem, to see if a new rom can cure this problem. I never over or under clocked the cpu. Only used rooted apps like : Titanium backup, adaway and avast anti theft. and I have never dropped my phone so no hardware damages :P

Current Symptoms of the device:

1. No problem occurs when I load into bootloader , Open recovery, notification area, open dialer & message app. Display works completely fine here.

2. hTC logo looks distorted when I start up my device, but the logo looks fine when the device shuts down.

3. home screen app icons look broken(distorted), menu and setting too look broken but the dialer app works fine.

I can see all the contacts in the list without any problem. lock sceen icons look fine too.

* I attached few pics of the problem( sorry, couldn't take screenshots, coz it looks terrible )
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
the rom might be corrupted, its not your fault I have seen these before, I would recommend reflashing a different rom or if you can find the stock rom go for it.
[General Questions and Answers] ianupamdey:
hey.. first of all thanks for advising me :)

I installed nameless rom freshly. But the same problems remain.

I don't know what to do. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
hmm your in a tight pickle then.. i see that the disorienting areas are all in the same place, the only thing i can think of is replacing the Lcd if you know how to do that, be careful to not break the digitizer, if the device is under warranty i would try to get another one. wish you the best of luck mate!
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
Hey All

since upgrading to CROM-i v5 i have been having some issues with connecting to me work WiFi, i never had any issues before v5 but this seems like the only place that has issues. We use Cisco access points that run through out network and we are currently using 802.1xEAP authentication. All devices need to authenticate via MAC's which i have passed onto so they can add it in but when i enter in my details it just stays at "Connecting..." and just hangs there and never ever connects.

i use the tablet at home and it connects with no issues.

Anyone have any ideas???

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you in the US? What channel is your router using at work? I haven't changed anything specifically but which options did you flash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
nah sbdags im in Australia but i have a US device... truthfully not sure what channel the network guys are using but ill have to ask em and find out.

but just weird i cant get it to connect ant more...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
US devices don't work on channel 13. reflash the rom and choose ww and it may now start working.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
alright no probs. ill give it ago.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
Just flashed using WW and ill give it a go tomorrow when im back at work!

thanks again for the quick response sbdags!
[Asus Transformer TF700] daspazz:
So baggs, should I, a US user who is on 5.03, install WW version to try and make mine stop dropping connections after sleeping? I'm also having a hard time connecting to my ATT wireless router. And other places that I used to be connectable with before I got my 20x Dock. I love the dock but need wireless connectivity. I wanna watch movies in bed, err before sleepie time anyways.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It shouldn't drop a connection whatever version you are using. Can you capture a logcat from when you wake? Does the WiFi icon turn grey or stay blue....?
[Asus Transformer TF700] daspazz:
OK Will do

I keep trying to log into the network at home and on job sites but the wireless utility never seems to accept my passwords. I can't get a signal reading, which is bollocks as I see high signal strength from the access point in the wireless AP list. I will install logcat and capture some logs later.

I dont recall the wireless being this heniky before the newest ROM. :crying: Oh and sorry bought the bags, I see after more careful reading its "dags"! :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] vnphatbuddha:
seems to me that im not the only with this new wifi connection problemj hmmm i still havent been able to connect on my home wifi even with a reformat, factory reset and fresh install of the newest cromi 5.0.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] daspazz:
Wireless gone hayware!

This may be mute, going to try flashing 5.04 and see if that makes a difference. But per your request Im attaching both startup and sleep recover logs. Hope it helps. I have no network connectivity at this point! :(

Edit0: I did the update and at first network didn't connect. So I "forgot" and then reselected my network and now I am connected and am getting email, updates from apps, and other goodies. Will try sleep and recovery to see if that works too. Just hope it works going forward so I can watch some movies and family guy episodes when trying to go to sleep. I'm happier for now at least. :D If this fails I will go back to 5.02.......
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
hey sbdags

sorry for the late reply just got back from overseas holiday and 2nd day back at work.

i reflashed using WW and still have the same issue. i think it might be y works WiFi they must have changed something and cant connect now. might have to get them to recheck that my MAC is still in the allowed group but just so weird that it stopped working.

will have to confirm what channel they are using and get back to ya. It does find the connection but when ever it tries to connect it just sits on "Connecting..." and just times out.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK mate. Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
Just confirmed with our network guys here we dont have a specific channel set for wireless devices, they have set it to auto-select so it will choose the least congested channel and try and connect. They also auto-adjust down/up their power so they dont overlap with other points of the same network.

Dont know if that will mean much to ya sbdags. But i might try and dig up the older versions and see which version it started happening.

you recommend doing a wipe and then flashing? or is it fine to start from 5.0 and dirty flash the way up till it stops? also you recommend using a specific kernel? i have been using _that's kernel from version 5.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
5.0 and dirty flash up should be fine. Also stay on that 4 as that is a stable kernel until you can determine if there is a problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
bah... loaded 4.7.0 and still didnt work, so safe to say problem with work's WiFi...

looks like ill just live with it! thanks for the input everyone!

[Asus Transformer TF700] DuckDodger70:
hmmmmmm just tried what you suggested [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] actually got a little further than before, attempts to connect and does for a 1 second and then drops out and turns my WiFi off and then back on, and attempts to connect again and does for 1sec and then sits at Connecting... again and just keeps cycling around like that...

i was able to get a guest account and that connects no problems, but the way that i am trying right now actually authenticates through my domain account and allows me access to my works environment

thanks for the input guys much appreciated... i guess its just a lost cause.

ok then

i can surely tell you that you don't own a sensation/XE/4G device

probably this tool won't work for another device except sensation

it would be better to refer your issue in your device's thread

i can give you an advise

flash the recovery.img manually(via fastboot command)

the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Sensation] TYmber:
I can successfully flash the recovery.img using fastboot but the problem is i can't enter the recovery mode to install su.zip. The phone freezes once i select recovery mode using the volume buttons.

But if it is really true that my phone is'nt sensation then i apologise for wasting your time.

Can you please suggest me on how to update my hboot version from 0.82.0000 to 1.27.0000 ..

Thanks in advance.
