[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Darwell.J:
Hello,

I'm new here so I hope this thread is where it should be and it's okay to post such an experience here.

So, few days ago I bought Sony Ericsson X10i. As I understand, it was from UK's 3 Network. I bought it in Lithuania, it was already unlocked. It had R2BA020, so I rooted it, deleted some of the unnecessary apps, but... I couldn't stay calm when I knew there is newer firmware out there (I am an update maniac - all my software needs to be updated, sometimes to alpha versions). So I haven't found a guide how to update firmware here, on xda (haven't search for more than few minutes), but first result on the Google gave me the guide at xperiax10.net (I can't post the full link here as I am a new user).

I downloaded the Nordic Generic X10i Firmware (R2BA026). Started SEUS, rewritten the current firmware. Next - rename the new files to match the old files and backup the old files. So, FILE_277505303 became FILE_277466517 and FILE_277508959 became FILE_277410324.

First attempt at cheating on SEUS:

deleted the old files, successfully replaced the smaller file, but failed at the bigger file.

Second attempt:

delete the old files, successfully replaced the smaller file, but failed at the bigger file. BUT, this time, I turned on my phone and noticed a small difference - in the locale settings, first option was United States (previously it was United Kingdom). So, third attempt:

removed only the big file, left the smaller with the old filename (FILE_277508959). SEUS started downloading the files and I see the difference in download size. It matches the Nordic Generic X10i Firmware (R2BA026). And the filenames are FILE_277505303 and FILE_277508959. Update completes, I start up the phone and what I see is new firmware! Everything works, so I download Universal Androot and root the phone.

The purpose for this post - For those who cannot debrand the phone successfully, you only need to place the smaller file in the blob_fs and then try to repair the phone twice. It worked for me, so I hope it will work for you too and make your life easier :)

Sorry if this post is too large :(

So, with the new Samsung Galaxy on its way (waiting for some carries to get a move on) there (to me) seems to be a possibility to get a PS2 emulator running quite well with the new specs.

1Ghz HummingBird "Cortex A8"

PowerVR SGX540

---{"Samsung Galaxy S’ “Hummingbird” A8 chip will be able to process around 90 million triangle per second. That is compared to the Moto DROID’s 7 mill tri/sec, the Nexus One’s 22 million tri/sec, and the iPhone 3G S’ 28 million tri/sec."}---

---{"In other words, the Samsung Galaxy S will have around 36% the video processing power of a PS3. Hopefully it doesn’t get as hot as a PS3."}---

With this in mind I would think that is it quite possible to run a PS2 emulator on the new Samsung Galaxy S. Not to mention the rumored 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragon coming to T-mobile either this Christmas season or early next year.

One thing to remember, is that although a PC with say a 3Ghz Dual core with 4Gb ram trying to run a PS2 emulator runs like crap, the architecture of the PC processor and graphics is different form that of consoles, which is why it requires to much to get a smooth play out of it. Cell phones share a very similar structure (from my knowledge at least) to consoles. This to me says that newer android phones should be quite capable of running a PS2 emu.

If you head over to the GLBenchmark website (.com) and look up the result database you will see the Galaxy S at the top (minus a comal naz-10, whatever that is) and if you compare the Galaxy S results with the Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, Iphone 4, you will see that it just rapes each phone by a huge range. I am not sure of playstion 2 specs but I am more then sure the phone should be able to handle it!

Playstion2 specs can be found on wikipedia (will not copy and paste all that info.)

To me it seems like its highly possible, and I would love to play my racing games on the phone (Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift2, TXRD2)

Thoughts and opinions welcome, no bashing (I get this in other forums).
[Android Apps and Games] xdaywalkerx:
even a 3 Ghz i7 isn't able to emulate a ps2 @fullspeed (depending by the emulated game - sure, there are many playable games - i know that because im interested in emulation and tested many games (search youtube for "frankyfife"). there is many code to translate by the emu, to produce native code for the plattform running on. the ps2 has vector units, the emotion engine, spu and gs which need to be emulated. no way to do this an a 1 Ghz cellphone, even with similar specs or identical main cpu architecture/function.
[Android Apps and Games] namcost:
I really hate to be a nerf herder but if a 1Ghz snapdragon droid can play playstation one games, and the galaxy s with 1Ghz hummingbird and graphics chip that is way more powerful then the droid should be able to handle it fine.

Take for example facts that lead to a hypothesis of power.

Motorola Droid: TI OMAP3430 with PowerVR SGX530 = 7-14 million(?) triangles/sec

Samsung Galaxy S: S5PC110 with PowerVR SGX540 = 90 million triangles/sec

These results are based off SOME facts with SOME uncertainties that leads to a hypothesis. If this is INDEED the case, the galaxy S is ALMOST 7 times more powerful then the droid (6.4xxxxxxxx when 90 is divided by 14). And your saying that it can't handle it without trying? I've seen youtube video's of phones playing playstation games smoothly with little jitterbugging and medium quality sound. Take into account the faster processor and cpu in the galaxy s and you use less resources to play the game, leaving more for sound processing, which in turn will make the ps1 games run perfect (theoretically) and possible ps2 if not DECENT ps2.

EDIT: Not to mention the PS3 running at 250 million triangles/sec, that makes the galaxy s like 38 some % of a ps3!
[Android Apps and Games] Quintasan:
No, just no. It can't be done with cellphones as @xdaywalkerx said. I have been able to play Guilty Gear and some visual novels on PS2 emulator on my i5 @ 4.00GHz and with 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Unless you find a way to efficiently emulate all the hardware in PS2 it is impossible.
[Android Apps and Games] namcost:
PC Processors and GPUs work completely different then consoles, that's why it takes so much power to even try to squeeze out performance. Phones have the same if not extremely similar processors and gpu's (at least how they are made and how they work).

Running a emulator on a phone is different then a PC. If the droid can run final fantasy and other games from playstation one, then what is the galaxy gonna be able to do with over 6x more graphics processing power?
[Android Apps and Games] fuinhu:
keep on dreaming :D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] bockjacob:
Just stop, it is impossible. It doesn't matter if the architecture is similar, you're still emulating which takes way more resources than the native machine requires.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonjoo:
You can't just take theoretical numbers like that and simply assume that just because the Hummingbird can crunch out (throwing a random number right here) 15 million polygons/second, it doesn't mean that it can emulate PS2 titles and crunch out 15 million polygons/second emulating a PS2 title.

As xdaywalkerx said, the Emotion Engine is much more difficult to emulate when compared to the PlayStation 1's MIPS R3051. PS2 emulation is not even well done on Windows computers; not necessarily because of the lack of CPU/GPU power, but the difficulty in emulating the titles as well.

Hell, the Droid can't even run every single PS1 title available, even when overclocked.
[Android Apps and Games] w0LfNiNja:
how about a psp emu? some psp games look and feel like ps2 games.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Maybe possible with very dumbed down graphics and super-low resolution... but then would it look like ps2? Probably not
[Android Apps and Games] thecresta:
SNES StarFox and Stunt Race FX don't run full speed on my Galaxy S.

Burnout 3? Vice City? GOW? MGS2? No chance.

But a Sega Saturn emulator...well...

:p
[Android Apps and Games] namcost:
I've seen the captivate run crash bandicoot 3 on psx emu @ full speed with no problems, just lack of control since its touch screen and requires quick reactions.....
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
It's simply not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Synyster_Zeikku:
I'd say... it won't work. The processor wouldn't even run it...

The GPU would fail.

However,

A psp emulator, could potentially work.

The facts

You see, a standard PSP (not the PSP Go) is overclocked automatically to 333mhz for SOME games... This 333mhz is the maximum. Most games run at 266mhz. To Emulate something you need roughly 4 times the processing power. And for graphics, you also would need a decent GPU.

So processing wise, a PSP emulator for phones is actually very possible. The graphics could possibly be pulled off.

But this would only work on High end phones with a decent enough screensize... e.g. the streak, droid (X) to name a few.

Edit:

Did some research.

Pixel Fill Rate of the PSP's GPU is 664 Megapixels per second, on a high end phone the GPU is around 133 to 250 Megapixels per second. The PSP does 33 Million triangles a second.. Whereas, we'll get possibly 7 to 22 million triangles per second. This shows that even a emulating a PSP entirely would be impossible... However you COULD emulate it. It just never would be full speed..

So if a PSP, won't run perfectly, I'm afraid a PS2 emulator won't.
[Android Apps and Games] namcost:
Samsung Galaxy S is rumored to be super powerful compared to the measly droid.

It is also rumored to have 90 million triangles per second.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/03/samsung-galaxy-s-is-a-beast-runs-quake-3-perfectly/

I hate to be an ass but the PS3 has 250 million triangles per second from what I've seen around the web (rsx chipset?), the psp is no where near that entirely. PS3 runs the RSX chip? or w/e it is, and its said to run 250 million triangles per second, and also seen a comparison (but i don't really believe it) says the 360 does 500 million triangles per second.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/33327-13-versus-triangles-second

I still think its possible with newer phones, especially if the dual core 1.5ghz snapdragon comes out @ christmas like its rumored.....
[Android Apps and Games] Lesiroth:
You're confusing two entirely different things.

Yes, high-end Android phones are able to run games that are similar in graphics to the PSP/PS2.

But emulation? Impossible. To emulate a system, you generally need to be at least 3 times as powerful, and that's probably way too little.

If it was this easy, you'd think the people that made the PS2 themselves would be able to emulate it on the PS3.
[Android Apps and Games] namcost:
They did emulate it on the PS3, they took it out on the newer models for god knows what reason. I have the original PS3 from launch and it plays all my PS2 games without a hickup.....

And where do you get this 3x more powerful, if that's the case, my dual core amd 3.0ghz with 4 gig of ram and a 5770 should run ps2 games just fine and it dont, its laggy.

Emulation on a PC is massively different then emulating on a phone. The phones shares more architecture with consoles then actual PC's do, hence why phones are just now hitting the 1ghz and 1.5ghz level. There are already videos of the galaxy s running crash bandicoot 3 with the droid emulator set to 60fps max and it runs perfectly, and I mean PERFECTLY. (except lack of controls). The Galaxy S also runs quake 3 arena perfectly (minus lack of controls, but that one i think can be solved with a simple bluetooth mouse and keyboard?).

Its possible, people just like to write it off..... w/e, I'm done with this website, too many haters with no facts.
[Android Apps and Games] nobooya:
Well, emulating process is the same on all architectures - creating virtual machine and "translating it" to be understandable for device's architecture. Of course it's not that simple, but hope you understand :). Even if sb wrote PS2 emulator, I doubt it'll have over 5 fps.

Quake 3 is running smooth, because it's running natively (ported engine for ARM and GPU is supporting OpenGL, which quake uses). Maybe PSX is running great on Galaxy S, but even my very old PC with Pentium III 400MHz and geforce 2 mx could run it at full speed :)

Oh and your PS3 is running PS2 games smooth, because first consoles had PS2's chip inside :). They removed it later.
[Android Apps and Games] Lesiroth:
How about you get your facts straight first?

It was on the first batch of PS3s because Sony put some of the PS2s hardware in the PS3, as they couldn't possibly launch without backwards compatibility.

They took the PS2 hardware out later to reduce costs.

Emulation on phones is not "massively different" than PCs, our phones use ARM architecture CPUs, while the PS2 uses MIPS processors for its Emotion Engine.
[Android Apps and Games] -ebby-:
make an emulator that works and we will buy it. shouldn't be hard since you seem to know a lot about it
[Android Apps and Games] sibeer:
It was actually a two stage removal of the PS2 emulation in the PS3. The early Jap and US ones basically had the Emotion Engine/Graphics Synthesiser CPU/GPU on one chip from the PS2 Slim on the circuit board. Clearly this made them pretty good at playing PS2 titles.

By the European release they had come up with a way of emulating most of the functionality of the Emotion Engine CPU on the Cell and were still loosing cash on each PS3. As such they took it out and did a mainly software based emulation with a smaller chip similar to the Graphics Synthesiser left on there. Finally they started to remove that chip from the low end models and then the updated newer models.

Basically the PS3 which has a similar architecture and bags of power can't reliably emulate the PS2 games without a chip from the PS2 to help out. The chances of a phone emulating it any time soon are somewhere between slim and none.
[Android Apps and Games] Finguz:
In which case it isn't even going to run on a 1Ghz telephone. You ask for advice and then ignore it, bizarre :)
[Android Apps and Games] smartsreenath:
same question.........:confused::confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] holland6045:
Partially this is because there currently is no ps2 emulator in existance that efficiently emulates the ps2
[Android Apps and Games] samipower:
yes it is possible,

with mobiles two cores ??

or are sure with windows 8 arm nvidia kal-el nvidia tegra 3 4 cores 12gpu

[Android Apps and Games] lpratas:
only with a processor like the cortex a15 2.5ghz dual core ST Ericsson Nova Thor A9600 with the PowerVR 6 Rogue gpu, it's possible but even that it's dificult. That is a cortex a15 with more DMIPS/mhz, more exactly 4.0, than a vulgar cortex a15 of the same frequency. It's similar in performance to core 2 duo with about the same frequency.
[Android Apps and Games] VoLtrex31:
Samsung galaxy S 3 will be released with triple/quad core cpu.

that after samsung announced of ARM semiconductor quad core to be sent to mass production in start of 2012.

So it will be possible with the next generation of phones.

again it will be much easier to play PC games on android rather then emulate the same games from PS2.

HalfLife, can be played on android. as DOOM .

after GTA 3 was released .. Android can play every game you can imagine.
[Android Apps and Games] anon768:
It isn't possible. Maybe in 8+ years, but never ever with todays and any upcoming phones you have yet heard off.

PS2 emulation is difficult, the PS2s hardware is very unique and the synchronization of the cpu, the two vector units, the graphics synthesizer and the dma controller is hard as **** to emulate, because they all depend on each other.

The pcsx2 project exists for years and has not yet managed to get all games playable, or even working.

Comparing clocks and pixel fill artes is utterly useless, because a mixture of pure processing power and skilled prorgramming is what matters. The ARM structure is way less performant than x86.

YES, ps1 games work fine, because the ps1 is way less complex and involves less components that heavily depend on each other than the ps2.
[Android Apps and Games] MrColdbird:
Just to clear things up a bit for you guys...

PS2 emulation is possible, to those that don't believe it, I can play my whole collection just fine on my PC in HD.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13011238/gsdx_20120110145546.jpg

Just some examples... however my PC has a i5 2500k 3.3ghz, 8GB of RAM and a NVidia Geforce 580Ti with 1GB of DDR5 Memory...

As you can see it needs a whole crapload of hardware to properly do the job... emulation isn't as simple as you guys think it is...

As has been said before, PS2 is especially complicated, similiar to PSP... as it has a whole bunch of components that need to be synchronized properly...

For PSP as an example it would be the ME chip and the main CPU...

It's not that easy... and I'm sure that one day a Android will be out that can do it... but by the time it is possible I will be a happy grandpa, playing my PS2 classics on my 16GHZ HolyFart Octo-Core cellphone while my grandchildren go and play on their Playstation 12 with their Virtual Reality Headsets. :)

I picked up a Captivate and used SuperRooter, got Clockwork on there, and put on some apps. What's odd is that if the phone sits for a while and I try to wake it up, the screen doesn't turn on - even after waiting like 3 minutes. Besides flashing back to stock, is there anything I can do to see what might be causing this? Would a logcat via ADB help? When I set it down and use it every few mins, it's fine. It's just doing the weird not waking up thing when it sits for a while.
[Captivate General] NoSlo:
I've had mine since aug. 2nd....this just started happening to mine over the past few days, where it'll shut off while sleeping. Its only done it 2 or 3 times tho. Mine isn't rooted.

Seems this is happening to a bunch of people, some have had to remove the battery to get it back on....i haven't had to do this yet. (knock on wood)
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
Is there a way to disable a long press of the Power button while the phone is locked? I'm wondering if that is part of the problem.
[Captivate General] Unhelpful:
Are you using SetCPU? The ondemand CPU governor is known to cause this problem.
[Captivate General] nrjr45:
Setcpu was causing my vibrant to do the same thing, deleted it and everything is fine
[Captivate General] NoSlo:
If SetCPU is an app, i haven't installed that one....
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
Removed it and it is still doing it. If the phone is plugged into anything (weither stay awake is on or not) it seems fine but when it is unplugged, it shuts off every few mins. My girl has this phone for the week and I won't see her til the weekend but I was reading on Android Forums and it seems alot of people are having this issue. I will flash back to stock and see if it helps, but I have a feeling it won't help.

i think its the root i mean i it did taht after i rooted i just got my replacement seeing if itll act up if not ill keep it if it does im jumping ship to buy a international galaxy s
[Captivate General] NikAmi:
Does your phone smoke a lot of pot?
[Captivate General] Ricparr:
I'm actually wondering if it doesn't have something to do with power handling with a full battery. I had to swap mine out because any time it was charged 100%, if it slept it turned off. After a few restarts or me playing with it enough to drop it below a completely full charge it was fine. I don't know, but if this new one does it I will just return it and look for something else :_(
[Captivate General] labbu63:
well ricparr and anyone else i would just return your model saying its defective and get a replacement tahts what i did

So the thing is.. I was experimenting with Android I was going to format my SDcard so I could load a new build in to it. I took the card out of the phone and put it in a adapter and then in to my computer and formatted the thing. Then wen I put it back in to my phone it wouldn't recognize it anymore. Tried it in my GF's Omnia II to, but without luck. My computer recognize it though..

Anyone who knows what might be the problem?

Hello,

i have the simular problem that sd card is not recognised, other devices like loptop and other phones recognises it.

It all started when I had android 4.0.4 version and I droped my phone, then I have tried lot of things like reinstaling this ROM instaling others, then going back to orginal windows, switching SD card, but it gave no result. Then few days ago I tried insertng sd card from my friends android phone and it worked fine, so we formatet sd card usig his phone, and it worked! but today I tried taking a photo and i saw that SD card ot recognised again. I tied formating using FAT32 but no luck.

I have tryed several solutions from this and other forums forum and coments:
