IMHO the ARM Cortex processors are very far up the ladder when it comes to performance and energy consumption. The Pandora makers claim 10 hours of runtime for their device. Together with its media chip this little bugger is capable of decoding 720p HD video streams (take a look at the Archos 5)

I am not sure if the MSM7201A chipset's CPU alone reaches twice the performance of the Uni, but you will see a huge difference in apps that support and need the latest in CPU architecture (media players & games). If (one way or the other) the 3D capabilities can be put to use you will probably see more than a 2:1 performance boost.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Wexx:
The sad truth is the Universal is one of the slowest VGA devices around. Especially considering lack of the graphical accelerator (which was even present in prototypes).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Falk:
Too bad the dedicated 3D chip didn't make it into the final design. But it's still better than having a 3D accelerator without drivers! I have a Sharp EM-ONE here with a GoForce 5500 that could theoretically accelerate many video formats. The sad truth is that because there are no drivers no media player can make use of the chip. Even worse: Because the graphics chip still controls the display video is even slower because the optimized X-Scale drivers can't be used. It's like Sharp and NVidia wanted to punish users double ;) So, as bad as it is, the Uni is not the worst device out there!

x86

I wonder why there´re no x86 cpu´s placed in mobile devices yet. maybe because of the high power consumption? x86 cpu´s running at 528mhz would be more powerful than arm cpu´s. furthermore the device could run x86 os like xp embedded with more features and capabilities...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Wexx:
x86 CPU enabled systems are still too much power hungry and too much complicated to be used in such a small device (sounds weird when talking abut HTC Universal, doesn't it).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wuzy:
As Wexx said, getting a x86's TDP under 1W is virtually impossible with today's technology.

And that's just the CPU alone. A SoC (system on chip) for x86 still isn't commercialised yet and is also well over 1W TDP.

This is compared to our ARM SoC chips which have a TDP of ~500mW at max.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wuzy:
One that's available on a WinMo device, probably the PXA320 800Mhz found in the upcoming ASUS Galaxy7.

Hello everyone, I tried most of the ROMS from here like feusionX, Qdroid, TreeUI and some of the old ones.

I liked the most of them, but what I am looking for is a ROM that has the Pixel experience feeling with all the features.

is it possible ?

I tried to use this method to use project treble on the phone but I wasn't lucky to flash any GSI.

every GSI I try It ends up in a boot loop.

what am doing wrong here?

any suggestion ?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Vaz15K:
Hello!!!

Look... Custom Rom for our phone is hard to find one that works (I say there's none)...

There's a Pixel Experience GSI that I was using it... https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases

In this post you have the normal Pixel Experience and Pixel Experience Plus.

Difference??? Plus has some more modifications

I recommend using Vendor Quack...

https://xdaforums.com/t/sar-vendor-...-5-for-galaxy-a8-a8-2018.415753/post-83416771

There is no secret to installation, I believe you already have TWRP or OrangeFox installed...

First of all don't forget to backup your important files

1. Download Vendor Quack and Gsi in Arm64-AB-Vndklite format

2. Extract just the GSI so we can get the image of it (Winrar or 7zip are great apps that do the extraction work)

3. Restart in Recovery

4. Follow the same steps in the post https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-trebl...-guide-for-galaxy-a8-2018-18-04-2019.3894881/

and then continue with my steps

5. Clean up Dalvik, System, Vendor, Data, Internal Storage and Cache partitions

6. Pass the GSI and the vendor to the device's internal memory

7. Install Vendor Quack

8. Now Install GSI

9. Install Magisk if you use

10. Reboot and enjoy your PE

Notes

Pixel Experience does not need install GApps

Bugs...

1. The GSI can crash hard sometimes and you have to force reboot on it.

2. If the above bug happens, the rom may come back buggy from reboot and you have to reinstall it again. (It's a little rare this is worth mentioning)

xzr467706992​

thanks for making this tool! I created (modified) a non-working OTA incremental update Linux program to install 11.0.9.9.KB05AA on my rooted Op8T (not available as a full update yet) and this program notified me that the -cow files, when I clicked on install from payload.bin, had to be deleted as they were temp files and taking up space in super - now I'm running an unreleased build (full update) on my Op8T!!! I have no idea where you found documentation on these temp -cow files, but it was the missing part of all my work!!! Without those logical files present, there was enough room in Super to install the fully updated Super components (odm, product, system, system_ext, and product)! And I have to say, your program is awesome!!! Intuitive interface, high functionality, and makes things just easier to see and do.

Google has mentioned the copy-on-write(COW) device here

Virtual A/B overview | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

For virtual a/b, the COW devices are created during the process of update. When there's enough spaces in super, they'll be created there, otherwise they'll be created in /data/gsi/ota.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Yes I found it there for "virtual A/B" just an hour or two ago actually. They don't explain it too well, however.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Amsal1:
Please don't mind I have few doubts about how to use this.

1. Suppose I have installed a custom rom and now I want to go back to Oxygen OS, can I do it by flashing the payload.bin using this fastboot enhance tool? If yes, what exact steps I have to go through?

2. If I flash the payload bin using this tool, will my all partitions will be recreated automatically as it was in a fresh stock condition when I used this 8T for first time even if the custom rom did any mess up with size or anything else? Also will it cleanup inactive slot too?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xzr467706992:
Yes, you can switch between custom ROMs and OOS using this tool.

This tool will only flash partitions listed in payload.bin, that means other partitions will remain unchanged.

Logical partitions will be automatically resized during flashing.

This tool will not create snapshot & switch slot when flashing, which is different from a normal update or sideload. That means the current slot will be flashed with new images in payload.

Note that on 8T, only the current slot you are using is bootable because of virtual ab, DO NOT SWITCH SLOT.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Amsal1:
Thanks for your clarification 😁

So the exact steps to flash any rom(OOS, Custom Rom) would be:

1. Boot to fastbootd mode

2. Load the payload.bin in Fastboot enhance v1.8

3. Click the flash payload.bin

4. Reboot to recovery and wipe

5. Reboot to system

right?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xzr467706992:
Yes but you need to reboot to fastbootd for logical partitions (also theres hint in software)

Btw remember to enter recovery and wipe data after flashing
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Amsal1:
reboot to fastbootd for logical partitions? I didn't got this.

Sure I will wipe from recovery after flashing the rom!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xzr467706992:
That means: flash payload in fastbootd because we have logical partitions.

In case you missed this from the Opera 9.5 Build 1957 thread, build 2392 is available from the link below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=401643

This one has the zoom button in the lower left, which I've found is a bit annoying using the VGA buttons on 96 dpi - a lot of screen area is taken up by the two buttons (zoom and the menu button on the lower right). I might try the QVGA buttons to see if that works better, but then I'll loose easy non-stylus access. The zoom function itself is VERY nice, much better than the double-tap with a fixed zoom setting.

This one feels very stable, it hasn't crashed on me, unlike 1957 which crashed all the time even with few tabs and a low cache.

Unfortunately, the screen orientation problem is back and the can't-use-the-keyboard-to-enter-a-web-address problem is also back (both were fixed on 1957 and have been problems since 1409).

Some people are reporting success with Flash Lite 3.1 and this build, but I'm on AP4 and still can't get Flash to run. Some think its due to the older Flash Lite 2.1 being cooked in.

However, the advangates so far are better than the 2 problems, so I'm going to keep this one for now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
1184 is still the best version. 2392 has too many problem still.

Funny that the more they 'improve', the worst it becomes.

edit: sorry, I got mixed up between 2392 and another version.

Yes, I have to agree that this version is really good. Better than 1184.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
this build is really good, better than 1957 and 2123, I use portrait mode all the time,so opera switching to portrait mode on exit doesn't bother me, plus i can't tell the last time i used the hardware keyboard to type, so the address thing don't bother me at all. i use TouchPal as my keyboard all the way. this is well improved, even though there's a lot left to be done, its still a good build.

Also, flash3.1 works with this build on Michyprima's rom, the thing is flash3.1 has to be installed first then opera after, soft reset and it's good to go.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
1957 v. wins

For me 1957 version is the best. Before, I used 1184, but since 1957 was released, I am on this version and I like it.

1. It works with no crushes, at least for me.

2. Flash 3.1 works for YouTube(original x7510 rom).

3. No problems with keyboard and screen rotation.

4. Zoom works not only by double-click, but also with zoom scale in top right corner, which appears if you slide your finger there. More, text wrap works as well with this zoom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Can you point me to where your 1957 comes from? My 1957 does not have the zoom at the top right corner.

It also no longer gives me the ability to activate links in zoom out mode. In addition, the text overlaps unless small fonts are used (I use medium size font so 1957 version can't support that correctly). The display is also blurrly in zoom out mode.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I was confused and mistakenly believe this was another version that I've tried.

Yes, I have to agree that this version is the best ever version to date.

- Tengo types smoothly, unlike most versions where Tengo behaves wierdly.

- display at all zoom level are clear, unlike many versions, where displays are distorted at zoom out mode.

- texts flow correctly, or rather reflow correctly. Unlike some versions, where reflow does not take place at all.

- able to change minimum overview zoom to 85 so that links could be activated without zoom in.

- variable zoom bar works flawlessly.

- Connection is quick with minimal pause

- youtube works nicely.

- pictures are sized correctly, unlike some versions where the pictures are oversized.

The screen orientation issue has never bothered me.

Keyboard pop up issue is only a minor annoyance.

Only issu so far is that it is unable to download files. The usual download bar does not appear, so download seems to be happening in the background. Also, only part of the file is downloaded. Any idea?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I would guess you're talking about build 2392, Downloads show up in the downloads manager, I've been downloading with it all morning so I know.

In config I also set image to 4 instead of the default 3, this seems to give better image clarity.

I also set update delay to 0 instread of the default 2000.

I also set tabs to 8, I don't need any more tabs than that at any 1 time

those are a couple of my default tweaks when I install.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Yes, was talking about 2392.

My download manager definitely does not appear. Tried it so many times already. The files does get downloaded though, even if not always completed. Did you perform any tweak to make this happen because I can't get it to appear.

I can't seem to detect any differece after setting image to 4. Do you can a website that illustrates its impact?

Do you mean INITIAL update delay? I'm still trying to figure out what difference this would make.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
the version I have is the one for main memory (I always have programs with the SD version)

its weird that it doesn't show up....what I can say is to uninstall it and delete the opera folder after uninstall, then reinstall, check if you get the download manager (I don't have flash3.1 installed so maybe thats causing the problem). I do remember on a build I wasn't getting the download manager I don't know which it was, I think it was 2123.

In User Prefs there's two update delay

in the quick search box type in delay and both will show up.

"First Update Delay" to 0

and then "update Delay" to 0
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
