[HD2 General] Hyweljh:
Looking at the specs of the GPU which is a PowerVR SGX.

It is an opengl 2.0 compatible GPU and supports many other standards, it basically means it would run a larger array of programs with graphical attributes compared to other devices with just a CPU.

Now the HD2's snapdragon processor also supports OpenGl 2.0 so in theory the additional GPU in the N900 would be redundant if it were put into the HD2's circuitry.

On the other hand due to the fact that the 600MHz OMAP in the N900 doesn’t have support for things like opengl and other it makes a large improvement in performance just like a GPU does in a PC compared with integrated graphics. Personally without any tests I would say the snapdragon would still be faster as long as you were running something like FPU enabler to make sure all the instructions are there and supported by the OS which the N900 wouldn’t be able to support them instructions and would use much slower less efficient instructions.

Also the n900 is running a diffrent OS so it makes it very hard to compare.

for more info on snapdragon opengl support go here

Hope that helps
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Snapdragon is not just a CPU, it's an entire chipset, including a GPU, wifi, GPS, etc.

The CPU component of Snapdragon is roughly the same speed as the OMAP CPU clock-for-clock, but obviously clocked a lot higher. The GPU is significantly less powerful than the PowerVR chip that is usually paired with OMAP processors (though I haven't actually checked if it's the one included in the N900).
[HD2 General] christonabike:
The N900 has a SGX 530 GPU which is slower than the 535 in the iPhone 3gs and also slower than the snapdragon's Z430 (It probably has drivers with functional vsync though) :D
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
My apologies, should have looked it up. :)
[HD2 General] dattrax:
don't know which z430 you've been using, but I am finding it utter crap.
[HD2 General] aethelbert:
Nintendo DS: 120,000 triangles/s, 30 M pixels/s

PowerVR MBX-Lite (iPhone 3G): 1 M triangles/s, 100 M pixels/s

Samsung S3C6410 (Omnia II): 4 M triangles/s, 125.6 M pixels/s

ATI Imageon (Qualcomm MSM72xx): 4 M triangles/s, 133 M pixels/s

PowerVR SGX 530 (Palm Pre): 14 M triangles/s, ___ M pixels/s

ATI Imageon Z430 (Toshiba TG01): 22 M triangles/s, 133 M pixels/s

PowerVR SGX 535 (iPhone 3GS): 28 M triangles/s, 400 M pixels/s

Sony PSP: 33 M triangles/s, 664 M pixels/s

PowerVR SGX 540 (TI OMAP4): 35 M triangles/s, 1000 M pixels/s

Nvidia Tegra APX2500 (Zune HD): 40 M triangles/s, 600 M pixels/s

ATI Imageon _ (Qualcomm QSD8672): 80 M triangles/s, >500 M pixels/s

I think it's safe to say that the Snapdragon performs admirably, but the SGX blows it out of the water.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
most of informations listed here are not true iphone 3gs tests shows only (7million triangles ) samsung omnia 2 (has 9 million triangles not 4 )
[HD2 General] amb9800:
The 7 million triangles/sec number was based on AnandTech's incorrect guess that the 3GS used a lower-end SGX instead of the SGX 535. Samsung initially specced the Omnia 2's GPU (an in-house project by Samsung) at 9 million triangles/sec but then revised it down to 4 million at launch.

EDIT:

Now that I look back at this post I realize that I didn't really explain what I was talking about so I'm going to try to explain a little better.

What I am wondering is if it is possible to make a live wallpaper that would change its background image periodically, like in Windows 7?

I mean if it's possible to make an app that does that for 1.6 versions then that would be cool too, but yes I was just wondering if it is possible.

Sorry that I didn't get my thought's across correctly =/
[G1 Android Development] mitch1974:
That's not 'live wallpaper', it sounds like you want a program to change the wallpaper periodically.

Check the various wallpaper changers on the market, one of them might support that.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Nope, never used it,

ll, been able to do that in Linux for years, winblows only just got it?

you mean a bit like live waterpaper wallpaper only with less imagination?
[G1 Android Development] der_rossi:
There already is an app on the market that does exactly that. You specify a folder on your SD and it changes your background periodically. Forgot the name though as I don't use 2.x roms for now. Something with 'background' maybe, but 'live wallpaper' as search term should do the trick.

Edit: Found it :D http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-mikeyin-livewallpaper-pEtm.aspx
[G1 Android Development] ArniPL:
No. Windows also could do that for years, using 3rd-party software. Now it's built-in.

Such thing in Linux is also provided by 3rd-party software, isn't it? And to be honest, Linux mainly consists of "3rd-party" software, so that kind of comparisons just doesn't make sense.
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Windows 7 for the win :D
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Talk about arrogance. I bet you always say M$, MSFT, Crapple, or AAPL in reference to Microsoft or Apple.
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Agree 120%.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
erm....NO!

windows doing it with 3rd party software doesnt count as it being able to do it for years

this has been available as part of DEFAULT installations with both GNOME and KDE desktop environments for at least 3 years

claiming that linux is all pretty much 3rd party software is a complete misunderstanding of how things are done

eg. gnome stuff is all interconnected - everything built on the same core code and libraries. compiz uses the same libraries and some of its own to do the coolness:cool:
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
To be honest, you can't just look down at Windows because it hasn't been able to do an unimportant feature like this. It is not a crucial feature to have.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
i dont use the feature...

what bugs me is that microsoft and apple keep claiming to invent a whole lotta these things....

eg. aero in vista copied compiz, the new horrible task bar copies KDE (not a fan), multiple switchable desktops etc.....

anyway, lets get this back on course.....

i think having a live wallpaper slideshow creator would be a good idea...in my experience with the backgrond switching apps - they use excessive resources...more so than many of the stock live wallpapers do
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
I don't even use that feature in my Windows 7 or Super OS (Ubuntu derivative) partitions. It just feels more like an annoyance and a waste of CPU power.

At least Windows 7 and Vista have Live Wallpapers aka Windows Dreamscene :p.
[G1 Android Development] stolen_pillow:
backgrounds

There's a wallpaper app called Backgrounds which has this option. It has lots of FLICKR images and you can set favorites, dl them to the phone, or have them change on a schedule. Free app, and lots of quality images.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap

well, not the apple stuff, just

M$ , Micro$oft , windoze etc
[G1 Android Development] Wisefire:
Yeah, and us "Winblows" users make up 89.6% of Operating System use. While Mac users make up 9.57%, and you Linux users make up some .83%.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Well....even though this thread was blown completely off topic over trivial matters, it seems that I did get some useful information

That sounded rather pompous didn't it? lol sorry if it did. :p

Thanks for the help guys :D
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
true, and to be honest it is probably best kept that way...

well, let most people use Linux without knowing, while they surf the net, play a dvd, or make a phone call ... lol

Maybe alot of newbies ask of this already but i just wanna ask it again

What is a Full wipe is that the same as wipe?

and how do u do a full wipe properly?

Wipe

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe Dalvik-cache

3. Wipe SD:

4. Wipe battery stats

5. Wipe rotate settings

Should i do (1.) or (1. & 2.) or (1. 2 & 3) on the amon ra boot screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
A full wipe is wiping all of those, however it is not always needed depending on whether or not you actually use Apps 2 SD etc

Most of the time you only need to wipe option 1 (with the occasional 2 as well)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
2 is included by 1, for a full wipe do 1 (and 3 if you have an ext partition on your sdcard).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahag:
I've been flashing custom roms and updates for a about a month now, with once every 3 days on average. Wipe option 2 never finished successfully, and showed a message that I had to use adb to perform it or something. (not sure of the message though).

Anyway, out of no where, it worked today for the first time. I was on aHero v0.3 Rom.

What could be the reason? Is it the Rom? The only thing different I've done in this Rom was use Root Explorer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
this is a know bug in the recovery image. it tries to wipe dalvik-cache on the ext partition, which ofcourse fails if you don't have one. nevermind, the wipe works regardless of the error message.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahag:
I did partition my sd card recently but never actually made use of it. (unless some rom used it automatically) :o .. anyway that should explain it.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I never get an error when I wiped mine and I don't have an ext partition

What have I done wrong :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I've only ever used option 1. No issues to report here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guanarteme:
does Wipe SD literally deletes the content of the SD card? like formatting?

When it's recommended to use that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
no. it is called "wipe SD:ext" because it wipes only the ext partition of the sdcard. not sure what it does exactly, but i am pretty sure it just deletes the "app" and "app-private" folders on the ext partition, i have other files there that are not deleted when i wipe it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaf196:
Cool, I hope that this fixes the problems with my rom. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
OK, if I understand it properly I have to lose all my apps and data to install or update a new ROM? Of course I may use Titanium backup but that is quite long process to restore all apss and data again, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
Yes, mostly you have to wipe all. Sometimes it says that you only need to wipe cache/ dalvik cache if coming from a previous version. Do you have the free version of Titanium Backup? If you do I would suggest downloading either the paid version or MyBackup Root (it's free). Then you get one click restore. It still takes a lot of time, but you can do other stuff while it's doing it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
Oh, yes, it is a good feature to restore on one click. I thought it is weird. No I understand when it is just in paid version. One more thing. Once I was restoring apps, I used app2sd script but TB restored somehow in the wrong place because the notification about low space appeared. Even though I did not get it before when I used the script. How to make sure thet TB restore apps to the right place? Thanks!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
Full wipe required?

OK, so for the RCMixHD v3.6 with Data 2 Ext(4) they say a

"Full wipe is required"

What does that mean? It is totally unclear and not being explained anywhere in the ROM tutorials. Pretty weird, because it seems rather important.

I have the ClockworkMod Recovery bootware on my HTC Desire, so how does one perform a "full wipe" without also wiping HBOOT and such (when it is S-OFF I would understand a "full wipe" actually wipes *everything* on the internal NAND/SD) ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe Dalvik-cache

3. Wipe SD:

4. Wipe battery stats
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zama28:
full wipe

Im doing leedroid full wipe right one and its been a good hour now froze the HTC screen. Can anyone tell me how long it normally takes?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
It's strange how both of these are rarely really required, while I STILL see this "full wipe required" being advertised for most roms. It's nonsense. Why would you need to wipe your entire SD? If a certain formatting would be required for the rom to function properly, it should include a script that does that for you and prompt before wiping your SD-card.

Also, the Factory reset is only required in very rare cases.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
Well if I am updating from the same rom I will do cache and dalvik only.

When cm 7.1 hits ill do full because of updated android
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montydrei:
Every time I flash a new ROM or restore a nandroid backup, I do the following:

1. Wipe Dalvik cache

2. Wipe data/factory reset

The second step formats /data, /cache, /sd-ext, and /sdcard/.android_secure, so that's a pretty thorough wipe if you ask me. I wipe the Dalvik cache as well to be as thorough as possible.

Optionally, you can format /system under mounts and storage in CWM recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in trouble:
I'm running on Android Revolution HD™ 5.2.6 on desire hd so full wipe means that i will also by wiping my OS?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few).

This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one. I can't say I would recommend it for the daily use, it seems too unstable/unreliable to me, but YMMV.

I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.

Thanks to:

Kingclick (obviously), ahmgsk, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.

What seems to work:

- 3D acceleration works for the most part. Meaning that from what I've tested, I can get Neocore (about 22fps in benchmark), Radiant, Armadillo Roll to run, but iDracula doesn't run for some reason (at all).

- Multitouch works. Multitouch enabled Google Maps 4.0 (by brut) included, the vanilla ones do not have working MT on this ROM.

- Camera works, including touch to focus - no video recording, though

- Youtube normal quality works

- Video playback works at least to some degree - I can play back videos recorded earlier with my phone

- GPS and accelerometer should work

What seems not to work:

- YouTube HD. Sorry.

- Bluetooth doesn't work at all. You can't even enable it, so don't try.

Known Issues:

- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time.

- LED notifications are problematic - had to remove HeroLED to get at least some notifications, but all you get now is green, even if the app uses different color on older ROMs. No charging orange LED, too.

- Google Sync is problematic. After you sign in to your account, it syncs, but you don't get Contacts sync at all. To get them to sync, reboot phone, they'll sync after the reboot. Even then it seems like Auto Sync isn't really working or the rate of checking is quite long - I couldn't get Gmail auto sync to work. You can sync manually without problems, but auto sync seems a no go.

Note:

Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seems to cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on for days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

btw for the backport to 32B I think there might be something wrong with teh wlan module.

other then that works like a charm and really fast , compared to the original rom without 3d
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I honestly don't know what is causing the problems with the wlan module. I've of course recompiled it for the 32B kernel, but still people seem to have problems with it.

But as I've said many times now, I don't own G1 nor 32B and neither have access to one, I've done the port "blind" as a proof of concept for the 3D part and had absolutely no way of debugging it properly. So I'm really sorry if it doesn't work as it should, but I really can't do anything about it. You just have to wait for the proper debugged 32B version of this ROM with working 3D to emerge. Kingclick mentioned yesterday that it's close.

Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.

Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.

The gallery is working.

There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
