[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
There's absolutely no reason why Android couldn't run as smooth as the iPhone with the right optimizations and the right hardware. The Evo has two problems. The first is, as you said, that Android isn't using GPU acceleration in the interface, at least not effectively. That's on Google to fix.

The second problem is that the Adreno 200 GPU that's part of the Snapdragon processor we have is not as powerful as what the iPhone has, or even what other Android phones have, such as the Samsung Galaxy S. Even without whatever shifts to the GPU future versions of Android might have, the Galaxy S's Hummingbird is unquestionably smoother than the Evo's Snapdragon. I bought the Evo after the Epic was out and am happy with the choice, but on performance, the Epic was clearly better and arguably comparable to the iPhone in smoothness. So even without any software changes, the next generation of system-on-a-chip platforms (CPU + GPU) will narrow the gap significantly.

Combine both optimized software and better hardware, and it should be able to match the iPhone without a problem.

speaking of the hummingbird, isn't the A4 processor that apple uses a custom built hummingbird processor?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
They're similar. Samsung makes both, but Apple had some hand in the design of the A4. More accurately, a company called Intrinsity, which Apple acquired.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Isn't the official use of the GPU to handle the UI acceleration going to be standard in "Ice Cream Sandwich" update ? And what OS # is Ice Cream going to be ? And approx release date ? 2nd half of 2011 I believe ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Honeycomb has it.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914#c197

It's unclear exactly what this means for phones right now. Honeycomb is for tablets, but they've also introduced API improvements and behind the scenes enhancements (like this one) that are unquestionably needed for phones.

It's sounding like Ice Cream may be that release, and it's probably going to be announced at Google I/O in May (speculation). It's possible we could see a scaled down version of Honeycomb for phones released before then. It's more a question of timing and names though -- whatever the next release of Android is for phones, I would expect it to have it.

It's even possible folks here will find a way to get Honeycomb working on phones in some form before we see anything official. That might be tough, since we'd want to keep the smaller screen UI of Gingerbread and just pull in the API and implementation improvements we want. But I'm always impressed by what people pull off here.

i altered a line on my old hero to use hw rendering for the ui and junk-it seemed to help a little. perhaps the same line can be tweaked/added for the evo. it was in the build prop i believe...

Is it worth the switch I just traded one of my Mytouch 4gs for an Evo mint condition. I was gona flash it to virgin mobile for 25 a month unlimited data/text, sweet deal can't beat it. I am still drooling over the thunderbolt though is it really worth the upgrade? Its the same hardware as the mytouch but i dont see that big of a difference between that and the evo. Before I flash my evo I want to know if I should keep it. What do you think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
I think the Thunderbolt is pretty much a Verizon Evo 4G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
They're going to be very similar. The Thunderbolt uses a newer version of the Snapdragon processor family. It's clocked at 1GHZ just like the Evo, but it's made on a 45nm process instead of a 65mm process, which should make it perform faster. I don't think we've seen actual benchmarks, but as a point of reference, what I heard was that the Evo Shift matches or outperforms the Evo despite its 800MHz processor. The Thunderbolt uses the 1GHz version of what the Evo Shift has. So it should beat the Evo by some margin.

For a GPU, it's also got Adreno 205 vs Adreno 200 in the Evo. I don't know what that means in terms of performance, but 205 > 200. :)

Here's some reference:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halabeaster54:
Ive had the mytouch 4g and g2 which are the gsm varients of these phones and they were both crazy beasts but idk they pumped a bunch of stuff in the thunderbolt like the new kickstand camera and dolby, (dolby doesnt mean anything i had it on my hd7 it sucked)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
If you like the Mytouch 4G, you should like the Thunderbolt even better.
[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is a port of Tenfar's Defy Recovery for FlipOut. as the hijacks do not work on this model, there is used a different solution to load recovery.

it does not support mount/unmount. but all other function for backup/restore of system & data works (tested).

you can share usb storage to pc, or install unsigned update.zip files.

Credits for the apk goes to Tenfar, modifications to work on flipout with hack to boot is made by me.

It should work on all 2.1 based releses, as long as the phone is rooted.

controls in recovery are: VOL- & VOL+ for up/down and POWER to select.

There is an addon option to run adb at bootup (root based), if you put a empty file named: "adb_bootup" on root of sdcard.

Enjoy! (now lets see some mods!)

Installation instructions:

1. root it (SuperOneClick )

2. Install FlipOutRecovery.apk

3. reboot phone once

4. now enter app and press "Install recovery"

5. next you can chose to reboot recovery , normal reboot or shutdown.
[Flipout and Charm Development] maxrfon:
Good job!

Is there a way to install it from bootloader mode?

This is the only available mode i have right now :(
[Flipout and Charm Development] BravoMotorola:
Thanks for the great work! Things don't get done without people like you!
[Flipout and Charm Development] kb7sqi:
Care to share your source? I have a port booting on the Motorola Charm, but it fails to reboot properly back to android. It only boots to stock recovery or clockwork mod recovery. Thanks. :-)

[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
my source is in the apk you got :-) i did not have it, i use smali coding here when needed.
[Flipout and Charm Development] sahack:
I see two problems and it's killing me now...

a. Format SYSTEM doesn't work unless you connect the device and say 'adb remount'

b. after you format the SYSTEM, restoring a Nandroid image will surely tell you "MD5 mismatch", it seems that the nandroid script is trying to use a tool from the /system

Darn it's killing me........
[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
its not 100% , as its not made for the nand devices, and i dont have CM6 installed in a functioning matter, so i cannto recompile it atm..
[Flipout and Charm Development] sahack:
okay... I see.

BTW, besides the official ROMs, are there anything else to run on the MB511?
[Flipout and Charm Development] nixonpjoshua:
entering at boot

is there any way to enter the recovery at boot, rather than from the app.

say as there is with the stock recovery (x and power then release power button)
[Flipout and Charm Development] sahack:
Not likely. Unless we 'flash' the recovery image to the phone's ROM. (AFAIK, that's not possible. :( )
[Flipout and Charm Development] nixonpjoshua:
so if that's not possible... then how would I effectively use the backup tool, I mean I would only need it if the phone wasn't working properly
[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
backup purposes for now.. you would backup and be able to recover..

or if someone made a mod of a rom of course..

you do not need to format anything to install and restore backups, only those experimenting will fail in their mission to mess up i think...
[Flipout and Charm Development] guruleenyc:
Again, many thanks on behalf of my wife.
[Flipout and Charm Development] Pzyduck:

[Flipout and Charm Development] eldinosaure:

Finally! i have the possibility of backup my rom!
[Flipout and Charm Development] snappyh:
Thank for this great work, is this can be fully uninstall?
[Flipout and Charm Development] Schallstoerer:
thanks for this work!

i want to backup my flipout. do i get a sbf file and what do i have to choose in the recovery-app?

thanks
[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
no, you get a full backup of filesystems on your mobile, into a Nandroid/openrecovery/[serialnumber/date] folder which you can restore again the same way..

sbf is motorola only.
[Flipout and Charm Development] Schallstoerer:
okay thank you!

i tried it in this way:

app: install recovery system -> recovery boot

boot menue: restore/backup -> backup

after a time of waiting my phone restarts.

but i dont have a "nandroid" folder on my sd card..

only a "goapkrev/backup/..."

with files cache.img, data.img, nadroid.md5, system.img

did i anything wrong?

how do i get a sbf file normaly?
[Flipout and Charm Development] Dexter_nlb:
this is correct. i was wrong... the ClockWorkMod used here uses a different folder name, but the purpose is the same.

now you should be able to make a full restore of data filesystem, which is primary i think.. /system is more or less not changed for anyone since we all use sbf's installed, but data is important to backup.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialtoon:
Thunderbolt has the latest Snapdragon with Adreno 205 GPU which means that its much faster than most phones out right now. On top of the fact that it has 768MB ram makes it amazing compared to the EVO. Now when you compare it with the myTouch 4G then its essentially the same phone but of course with real 4G LTE.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
4g wont matter on virginmobile. Obviously, if you got the money, thunderbolt is better then the evo. But its gonna be a while before you can flash it to virgin mobile? I think I'm not sure though

[Nook Color General] Snyperx:
I got my nook Saturday. Here is what I did when I got home:

Upgraded to stock ROM 1.1

Rooted with Autonooter 3.0

Did some readin on the NookDevs site and XDA

Loaded Nookie Froyo 0.6.6 on SD

Doing more reading:-)
[Nook Color General] buffalosolja42:
Both options are nice guys, I just want really to add the back button from the soft key option to the main menu and the (menu button). As far as performance it is fine for what I want it to do, no sure I will overclock it if it really hurts battery life, and I was lookin gat Nookie Froyo as well as Autonooter 3.0 since I used the 2.xx version (I am comparing the difference between them). Thanks again guys for the advice :)
[Nook Color General] gladiusdei:
For those who use the stock launcher, is there a way to add apps to the home screen on the stock launcher? I actually MUCH prefer B&N's launcher, but there's so much free real estate there, and I'd love to be able to launch TweetDeck, PerfectViewer, Kindle from there...
[Nook Color General] gaming09:
dual boot with froyo thats what i did no problems
[Nook Color General] froalskiner:
No, the only thing you can add are links to books you purchased on the Nook...no Amazon or public domain epub you sideloaded etc...
[Nook Color General] buffalosolja42:
Thanks for the update lol, I was like dang how long do I have to hold my finger there ;) I am not sure I will dual boot I have enough of that and virtual machines going on in my life as is, I will wait for a new stable realease look the current nooker I am using with 1.0.1.

Hello again everybody.

Here is a little tutorial to get rid of the crap thats shipped with the phone

and get it on a sweet diet of slimfast.

If you think to yourself "HEY! that shouldn't be removed!"

I most likely removed it because there is a Market alternative.

*Always be careful when modifying /system*

First we need to remount our phone and make /system/app - R/w

adb remount

then type:

adb shell

*In Shell ($)

su (IMPORTANT)

cd /system/app/

ls

Now you can start removing the bloat.

rm Launcher.* (ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE LAUNCHER INSTALLED!)

rm Maps.*

rm SystemTutorial.*

rm LatinIME.* (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER KEYBOARD INSTALLED)

rm Email.*

rm Calculator.*

rm EmotionWeather.*

rm EmotionPhotoWidget.*

rm EmotionCalendar.*

rm EmotionPhotoAlbumWidget.*

rm EmotionBookmarksWidget.*

rm EmotionEvents.*

rm Twidroid.*

rm EmotionMemo.*

rm EmotionRSSReader.*

rm EmotionVideoWidget.*

rm EmotionClockWidget.*

rm HwIME.*

as always, reboot.

and, as with most things in the filesystem, this can also be done

with Root Explorer

If you messed something up, it probably wasn't meant to be

removed and most likely wasn't listed above. Start over from scratch...

unless you made back-up of course

If i missed anything, shoot me a message!
[Ideos S7 Android Development] raduque:
You honestly consider Calculator, Maps and Email "bloatware"?
[Ideos S7 Android Development] joenilan:
if they can be downloaded (and be more up to date from the market) then yeah.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] raduque:
You don't need to delete them to download the updated versions. My tablet prompted me to update them as soon as I connected to wifi and logged into my google account.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] crispien:
Updates take more space

When you update a Android app that is part of the rom it takes up 1.5 to 2x the storage than if you just simply download the newest version.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] raduque:
That honestly means nothing to me. I don't load 500 apps on my devices.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] joenilan:
look, when you delete /system files obviously it doesn't touch the /data... obviously... now your /system is on your INTERNAL partition so removing these files frees up space on your INTERNAL memory, and as for obviously downloading the updated apps from the market does update them YES AND INSTALLS THEM INTO /data, but it does not delete the OLD outdated version which still reside in /system which need to be updated and is taking up space, i hope this helps you understand whats going on... hopefully.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] raduque:
Yes, I understand this. But, they are two separate partitions. The S7 does not dynamically resize partitions. /system and /data are completely self-contained, and the size of either does not effect the other.

Space on /system, does not effect space on /data. I don't know how much plainer I can say this. All you're doing is freeing space on /system, but nothing goes there except pre-installed *system* files!

The bolded, underlined, italicized is the part that doesn't make any sense. It's taking up space in /system, which has no bearing on space in /data. Period, end of sentence, full stop. I'm not saying anything more on this matter, because I don't think you're going to get it.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] joenilan:
probably not, i can't get through the fog of cocky responses. instead of being a helpful person.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] raduque:
Well, that's an interesting way of saying that you don't understand what I'm saying.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11476068&postcount=9

Repeat after me:

"/system space is completely separate from /data space. One has no bearing on the other"
[Ideos S7 Android Development] pvella:
Once you have saved some room on /system/app, you can then move some of the apps that you have in /data/app to that directory. I have done this for swype, adw, facebook, google apps, documents to go for example, this is saving me an extra precious 40M.

I have a HAVS kernel (Net's 4.2.2 SBC CFS Aggressive HAVS) and as I understand it any sort of CPU Tweaking application will cause conflict and probably a system crash, correct?

Also, can some recommend me any applications that compliment Juice Defender well. I have Juice Plotter already. I am looking for an aggressive auto task killer that's customizable along with any other suggested applications. Thank you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
A system crash is a possibility but they will basically just counteract each other and either make your battery life worse or give a performance hit.

SetCPU helps dynamically underclock/overclock based on certain scenarios. You can set what scenarios you want. Another option is AutoKiller. It isn't Auto Task Killer. Its a different application. Not quite sure how this works but you can research it. However Froyo does a good job managing most applications.

But if you are looking for customization I would go with SetCPU and AutoKiller
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:

o.o a ton of people use set cpu with havs... its not setting voltages... its setting the cpu speed...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
I just installed setcpu and ran it. My phone crashed about 10 seconds after I allowed root access. Tried twice more with same results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Its the governors that conflict. Not sure on the exact technical specifics but think of it like OCing a comp.

Some mobos have dynamic OCing. They adjust voltages based on CPU draw. If SetCPU sets CPU speed but HAVS reduces voltage... it would cause a crash. Its always better to have one thing deal with both CPU and voltage.

I'm not a full blown expert with kernels and how they function. All I know is to not mess around with SetCPU + HAVS kernels. It was always unstable or a massive battery drain for me based on my testing.
