[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
you have to remember that when developing for iOS they know exactly what hardware everyone is running it on. The problem with developing for Android is that there are sooooo many different phones with different hardware out there. That's the one thing that iphones have going for them: no individuality, everyone has the same thing...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toprock23:
The devs at Trendy Ent. forums said they plan to optimize HTC based phones in future patches. It includes Desire, EVO, Incredible..etc. They aren't sure how much better it'll be, but they're working on it. Also, if anyone here knows any tweaks for the Evo plz share.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaykun:
Just bought it on Market yesterday, and runs really crappy on my EVO lol. I hope that they will optimize it soon (considering it's suposed to run on unreal tech and how versatile that is on pc no mather what gpu u have).

Also needs lots of ram and i'm having a hard time getting those 256free mb for it xD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnaro:
They said that's because iOS uses less RAM than the Android OS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necrosan:
That's the exact opposite of what they told me on Twitter, but one can hope, right?

(They said don't expect it to ever run right on the EVO, as it is not an officially supported platform.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Actually, Gingerbread WILL bring improvements to this game and others.

There was a website (Frandroid?) that did 3d benchmarks of the Evo Froyo and Gingerbread. All the tests had a 2-16fps increase... which can make or break a game.

So let's hope it all works out.

Also, the NDK (Native Development Kit) is going to be updated. Games like Exzeus Arcade, which is VERY graphically intensive, were made by the NDK and run SMOOTHLY on the Evo/N1/Incredible/Desire.

All of this should be signs that us Evo users are going to get some support.

And supposedly HTC is updating N1 gpu drivers... which are the same for the Evo technically cause they have the same processor/GPU (Snapdragon/Adreno 200).

Anyway, we'll see. I'm about to run this on Myn's. I'll report back in a minute.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toprock23:

This is what the dev said on the forum: Quote Originally Posted by kimzplaze View Post

Yes all of the HTC phones, including the Desire, could benefit from optimization, and it's something that we'll be trying to do in the upcoming major content patches in January and beyond. Don't yet know how much performance we gain yet gain from them, but we'll get some degree of benefits.

-Jeremy

That came from a 65 page thread of disappointed HTC users (not so much galaxy s). Hope the dev keeps his word.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Thanks for sharing that.

And 65 pages worth? Seems like the dev has some work to do.

Like I said, Gingerbread will make optimizations for him MUCH easier.

Watch the video on the right by google: http://www.android.com/

Now considering that Samsung phones and Droids can play almost all the games, that video meant optimizations were probably going to be made for Snapdragon phones.

So with Gingerbread game developers will get direct access to frameworks to help them build games. Well, that's all in the video.

So hurry up Gingerbread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wright3d:
Hi guys, glad to hear that something is being done. I know I read at the dev's website that they were planning on patches to fix bugs, but wasn't sure about performance. I dropped the 2.99 on the game for now, cause I figure the price will go up eventually. It is running ok on my Evo. It starts getting choppy/low fps when I get about 30 to 40 enemies on screen. I am running Burnt Droid 1.4 with netarchy's 4.19 Kernal/gpu. What I am curious about is if other Kernals would give better performance? This game is pretty fun and I would love to see it run better on my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wright3d:
Quick update: They released a new patch for the game. It is now running worse for me :( Also the controls are now getting glitchy. Reminds me of PC games and how the patches work for them.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I hope someone can provide a definitive solution, because I've gotten to the place where Swype is invaluable to my phone experience and I also want the latest version.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bopr:
Here is how I installed the latest swype (first time noob)

-Registered blah blah

-Uninstall through titanium backup (select and hold)

-Deleted some system file that had something to do with UI and swype (try swype.apk and something else, sorry I can't recall or find the thread that helped me)

-Installed swype through their installer app (got an error)

-Uninstalled swype installer app and whatever it left behind

-Installed it fresh and it worked perfectly!

Probably the worst way to do it but I was very impatient at the time.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
Ever since i rooted my phone. I have not been able to run any of the backup options in the recovery menu. Is there anything specific i should do? I have tried rerooting and a couple other hocus pocus fixes but nothing ever works and i do not want to run these backups from adb shell.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Why exactly can you not use the recovery menu (i.e., is it a trackball issue)?

If so, check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9124095&postcount=83

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
Sorry no it's not a trackball issue. It just says Error: run in adb. I have seen a lot of fixes but none of them seem to ever work. It wont ever allow me to bart or nand backup always errors out. I can external backup but that really isn't any sweat off my nuts.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Argh, I really wish I could remember what the solution was for that. I'm afraid someone else is going to have to answer because I haven't had that happen in many months.

One workaround, download the free ROM Manager off the market. It won't replace Amon RA, if that's what you're using, but it'll allow you to load ClockworkMod Recovery from Amon RA, and then perform backups and restores from there. You can also use the ROM Manager app to tell it what to do and then it'll reboot and automatically do whatever you tell it and reboot after.

I don't know for sure that this will alleviate this problem, but it won't do anything permanent to your phone and it's cheap to try. Come to think of it, maybe one of the reasons I haven't had this problem in many months is I've been using ROM Manager for over four months.

Let me know if it helps if you try it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Can you post your exact error message? I scanned Amon_RA's recovery source as well as the nandroid-mobile.sh script and found similar things, but the exact error message would help tremendously.

1. Make sure you have enough space on your /sdcard. The nandroid-mobile.sh script will check to make sure that you have at least 130MB or more of free space before allowing a backup to be performed.

2. Be sure to have enough battery charge (best bet is to always be topped-off and plugged-in...just to be sure). The nandroid-mobile.sh script will check to make sure that you have at least 30% or more battery charge before he'll allow a backup to take place.

A couple of months back, I examined the nandroid-mobile.sh script for circumstances under which it would return a non-zero return status. This post over on AF details that analysis: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/142379-help-please-cant-nandroid-restore.html#post1604509

As you can see, there are several scenarios that could lead to the backup refusing to work (including a wonky /sdcard). So, if you have another card you could try, that might help.

Cheers!

Too late to run through this tomorrow but will observe all this new found data and report back. Thanks guys always appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good point! Now that you reminded me, I think this was the main culprit when I was having a problem, and it just so happens that my phone is nearly always charged pretty full for the past several months since I USB tether for my computer internet.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
A low battery was the issue the couple of times I ever had it as well.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
I got it to run just the NANdroid backup without error for the first time ever. Whenever i try to do NANdroid + ext or BART backup it says Error:Run X in adb shell. I have enough battery but will try charging to 100% and being plugged in in a second. Will try an alternate SD and report back. I have an 8gig micro sd hc. Transcend. Not sure if that matters.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Yeah, I've never run anything other than a Nandroid backup and restore--never have done a BART backup or + ext...

Good luck!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
This is weird because I downloaded the rom manager which is quite awesome might i add. It looks at my SD notices it has enough space to backup the NAND but refuses to do the external backup because it says No sd-ext found. Going to try titanium backup + nand + ext backup (from my pc) see if that covers all bases
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Did you ever partition your /sdcard (i.e., for apps2sd)? If not, you won't (or shouldn't have) any ext2 or ext3 partitions (I believe...).

Just wanted to make sure you weren't chasing your tail... ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seannoxious:
I never did but thought that nandroid+backup did the backup of the sd in general not necessarily the partitions.

Also just installed froshedyp 9 after a full wipe did the nandroid backup and it put xtr back on the phone? I thought nandroid backup was to backup your **** so when you installed a new rom you didn't have to reset everything up (apps and settings and the such)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
First, SD-Ext is referring to a Ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card, which you would've had to put there for old style (before Froyo) Apps2SD function, as Scary Alien said. So a failure to backup SD-Ext doesn't mean the backup itself fails, it just skips the SD-Ext backup if it doesn't exist, which it sounds like it doesn't.

Also, no, a Nandroid is to backup your ROM exactly the way you have it configured including the ROM itself. That's why it has to be done outside of the ROM, in recovery. Titanium Backup and other backup apps are for doing what you're talking about, backup up your Apps and your Apps settings.

Note that it's a risky thing to use any backup program to backup the system settings. Not actually risky to back them up, but you should never restore them to a completely different ROM (even if they're both based on CM6.x or whatever, or both based on Stock), so it's really only applicable between minor version upgrades of the same ROM (CelbFroyo 3.9 to CelbFroyo 4.0). Even then this is risky and sometimes breaks things, so don't expect to be able to do it too often if you change ROMs again.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libintia:
Hello,

i'm having a problem with my htc desire that i cannot resolve.

Yesterday an update came to my (Rooted ) Desire and messed everything up!

My clockwork mod recovery is gone, and it's now the stock's recovery.

When i turn the phone on, it gets stuck at the HTC logo...

I tried to Flash another Rom, but the stock recovery won't let me, it gives me

the message ("Signature verification failed")

I tried all of the RUU updates (That should be compatible )using fast-boot, But it

says that i need to get the right Update utility or something.

Anyone know of any other methods that helps me to flash clockwork mod, or another rom Without booting up(Being inside the OS).

[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
and it is working fine on my phone (I used a AT&T release of it) I got 3 questions that I have:

1. I am on Rogers in Canada and since 2.2 hasn't been officially released here in Canada, when it does would I be able to put theirs on it no problem, or is it going to cause some issues since the phone will see that I already have 2.2 on it.

2. Has a way to remove the AT&T splash screen logo on the start-up been developed?

3. If I do a factory reset of my phone will it go back to 2.1 or will it stay on 2.2?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Please tell us exactly how and where you got Android 2.2 from AT$T since they have yet to release an official version as of yet.

More than likely referring to the 2.2 leak.

[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
Yea sorry it was the leaked version of it. And when I was saying offical I talking about the offical release in Canada
[Captivate General] poo22:
from the wiki: "Be aware when installing AT&T Firmware 2.2 and trying to recover to Rogers stock, you will have a short AT&T display on boot up. One way to remove this is to flash the phone with firmware from a Samsung I9000 model and then reflash it with the Rogers Firmware. This will remove the AT&T logo. However, there is a chance that this method may, in certain circumstances, leave a seemingly random pixlation on screen upon boot-up for the time the AT&T logo was meant to be displayed. A very minor issue and doesn't affect the phone or boot process."
