"Zoom" our 800x480/WVGA to 400x240/WQVGA to boost graphics processor - Touch HD Android Development

I was wondering if this is possible, so that the GPU would have to calculate 4 times less pixels. Here is the topic on Neopeek - http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6418.

I think this will be nice.

There is update! The developer managed to squeeze 320*240 on his Raphael 800 in fullscreen. We're waiting for tutorial.....

Will you post link, when the tutorial comes up!
Thanks ! Bro

I'm working on it,and i got the screen cutted but i think it can be fixed easily,if i can fix for diamond,maybe i can make it for blackstone

KS20 Improvement Thread!CAB NOW!!

[/COLOR]HI..me again
after i release the chinese version of kiss rom..
i find that there is only a little ram in kiss rom!!
almost the time i connet to internet and watch some website,
the system always noticed that i havent got enough memory..
this time i try my best to give some reg information for you to raise memory
after i try this..i got 4.XX RAM more..(without program)
THX:Switchke
He made a cab for us!
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=023eb09844a58df2391d7d881749d3a7e04e75f6e8ebb871
HERE ARE SOME CHANGE
1.turn off simkit.those people who use 2 number in one sim card cannot use it.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\7B58F1D9...\INPROCSERVER32\SIMTKIT.DLL
change to NOSIMTKIT.DLL
2.turn of video call:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\PHONE\SKIN\ENABLED=0;EXT=PHONEEXT.DLL
3.speed up the system:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\LIMIT=206696
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATS\CACHESIZE=4096;ENABLECAHCE=6
4:touch sensitivity..
NOTE:the maximum sensitivity
If YOU WANT CALLWAITING...HERE
5:switch on the callwaiting
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting
Category=Incall
script=apw0pr
sound=callwait.mid
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Incall
InitVol=5[/SIZE][/COLOR]
If you use a multi-simcard adaptor (simore for example), don't change the simkit.dll value (1st tweak). It's used to switch from on sim card to the other. [/COLOR]
:this reg change may have a risk ...
plz bear it yourself
Thanks for providing the tweaks. In fact my free memory increased significantly . No problems so far.
COOL, it really work... Thx
In my case increase of free memory was also quite significant. First I've set option 1 and 3. That gave 4 MB. When switched of video calls I received additional 5MB. So from 20 to 29MB free - really nice. As for now no problems occured after the change.
Thanks bun_0806 !
i'll try now
working for me
from 29mo to 32mo
thnx
gonna try it for a few days. will reply back if there's changes or bugs.
thanks for coming up with this thread. looking forward for more lg-ks20 tweaks.
cheerios =)
im at 33.02 ..so i will monitor this
great. have 6-7 mb more.
but what does "nosimtkit.dll" exactly do or for what is it? something with the simcard?
Wonderful! thank you dear!
I also wanna know if there's a way to increase pressure threshold like in the htc for the screen sensitivity!
thanks
awesome 6mb more
IMHO, MAX SENSITIVITY is best
This Thread s good idea, i hope it will be succesful
(sorry for my bad english, i´m from Czech )
wow! this awesome...i tried with max sensitivity and it really works better!
in your opinion, folks, there's an higher value than FFFFFFFF? what happen if i try to put 2000000 instead of 1000000?
This is trully awesome ! This is just the amount of ram we needed for the KS20 to work really faster and smoother.
everytime my ks20 (kisS 20.4) "wakes up" from suspend, it tends to crash/lag alot. any idea why? (34mb spare ram at the moment) could it be pnp unload delay?
also is there a way to change default storage of camera pictures to /storage card/pictures ?
cool, sensitivy. MAX to ffffff and works fine!
someone knows which Opera Version really WORKS STABLE on this ROM which don't causes any Crashes. Most cases if Opera is installed and once started the systems just restarts sporadic (even if it's not active anymore).
...so let us see...
...by means of these tweaks I managed to release 5MB RAM, from 29 to 34 MB. This is what I was looking for...works great on KisS20.4...thanks
Impressive. From 24MB to 27MB. (and 28 with a little help from SKTools)
What's especially great about this mod is that you get back memory despite increasing the Glyphcache (which will conversely EAT memory). Are there folks who don't use Option 3 and left the Glyphcache at 131xxx?
Edit: Also, I need a little info on that EnableCache setting. I don't have any idea what it does.
Been away for awhile. the tweaks work like a charm.
and keep this thread ongoing we need people like you.
KEEP UP THE GOODWORK =)

nueOverClock can we finally overclock our Blackstone

There is a overclock test going on at nuerom!
He finally managed to overclock some MSM72xx devices,
although right now it's only a beta test some results has been successful.
For now it's only possible overclocking to 768MHz

Yeah, i read it but i don't understand the instructions, how to i test it?
From reading the comments its still a no... but a step in the right direction I guess... 600Mhz would do for me... smoooth up You Tube and general response time would be great!
isnt this the same as this?

Pressed the icon and the same results just a striaght of crash/restart wonder why he cant step the over clock speed down abit it would be good to see this running for a little while,
Id be hapy with 600mhz as well lol thats not being greedy hope this comes true i had an samsung omnia i900 and used to use it all the time then i overclocked it using software and damn the phone was fast even animations like flash and divxs loaded fast, great for kinetic scrolling to,

no it's not the same, this application is for overclocking.
But it's from the same guy ^^
does not work for me as well maybe 768mhz is just too much
is there any possibility to use for example only 650mhz?
It seems to help to disable radio (only Phone OFF) and plug the phone into the A/C charger.
This is a very early test version ....most users at HTC Diamond an Xperia confirmed that it works.
More tweak options ...lower/higher CPU speeds will follow, like i said this is a very early beta but it seems promising. For now it is only 768MHz .
Hi, work me it "works".
You have to disable all plugins on today (touch flo, titanium) and then it works.
In SK tools integer benchmark I get 485 points, 331 on standard frequency, which is I mean huge difference. But solitaire works for 5sec, then freezes. Igo 8 loads to main screen and then freeze....

I'm using a cooked rom with windows mobile 6.5. Windows now works a lot better, not as choppy as before, photos are loading a lot faster and I get about 5-15fps more on the psx emulator. Overall it works great, but keep in mind it's not really stable. It freezes with ease.
And I had to disable my Phone on comm manager (the option between fly mode and bluetooth) if I don't it freezes. But once you run the overclock you can turn it on again and it works perfect.
Hey sorry duplicate post, don't know how to delete it :-|
how long have you been running it for? And have you noticed any increased heating? I expect that there will be...i'm just slightly worried that extended use will kill the Blackstone =/

Chainfire 3D settings for Dungeon Defenders

Anyone managed to get DDFW running on their SGS2 ?
I have tried all 3 plugins for chainfire and a bunch of settings but cannot get it run past the loading screen,
any luck anyone?
The thread title is extremely misleading. You could at least have used a question mark to signal that this thread doesn't contain the CF3D settings for DD even though that's what the title suggests.

I haven't been able to get it to work either. It goes through the demo, so I presume it isn't GPU related, but as soon as you touch the screen to control a character - app closes.
any tip to make it work?
It doesn't work for the moment, only getting in the menu of the game, when you try to play it shuts down ^^ already asked around, chainfire is busy making autoshader fixes etc
YES IT IS

Yes it is a gpu problem. not so much an issue as in ur gpu is too slow, the issue is ur gpu to dungeon defenders doesnt exist.
Reason: mali-400 gpu in the sgs2 is a bloody fast but ultra cheap gpu found mainly in generic devices ( i think, correct me if im wrong) , the only branded device with a mali gpu is the sgs2. there's the issue. devs dont develope for generic chipsets:not enough users and there isn't any real incentive to develope for the mali 400 because most devs have gone to the tegra2 gpu.
Solution: i dont know if this will work since i dont have a sgs2 but this should work. On chainfire pro use the tegra 2(nvidia) plugin which will use the cpu to emulate the tegra 2 gpu and should hypothetically work. However, the tegra 2 is a pretty fast gpu so the tegra 2 plugin may lead to low frame rates so i would try the tegra 2 plugin. if its too slow use the qualcomm or powervr plugin
not needed anymore as developer has added support for sgs2
didnt know that :L

[INFO] ICS with full functional camera

Hi guys!Started new thread cause don't want to post it in every ICS ROM thread.Here is link legend's CM9 rom with almost full functional camera.Hope this will help.
But.... we have ICS with working camera.

lol, they have everything working (stable) for their Legend. They are lucky !
Can't we take some fixes (Bluetooth, Wifi and so on...) from their build or from CM9 ?
Legend is ARMv6 too .. they say they have : 24) Hw Acceleration (Stock Gallery, Live Wallpapers, Video, Youtube, Google Maps App, etc.). Could that be made for the hero also or Legend has GPU ?

I'm sorry but it is not ARMv6. It is ARM11.
Specs as per gsmarena:
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227
CPU 600 MHz ARM 11
GPU Adreno 200
So, no! HW accel is running for them because they have the hacked drivers from Qualcomm which are released and working only with Adreno200. We have Adreno160. No HW accel!

And what about Bluetooth, Wifi and others tweaks ?
borice,
nope, their bt and wifi fixes most likely wont help you guys. other tweaks they uses (as long as they pertain to fixes that are universal across phones) could possibly be used though, such as build.prop entries, etc.
also im downloading that legend rom right now to see if i cant get it working for heroc, if it works for heroc then it will most likely work for hero gsm.
I tried to get camcorder working on our camera driver, but it crashed whenever I tried to record something. I don't think that the problem lies in tha camera. It's rather the same reason that YouTube doesn't work and so on.
yup no love on heroc with the legend stuff
stritfajt,
thanks for your continued work on this. does the camcorder use gpu/hw acceleration while trying to record? im wondering if the reason legend got camcorder going because they have the adreno200 libs and a real gpu instead of our situation. please bare with me, im talking out of my rear end. i have no clue the code that makes cam/camcorder tick.
also, figured i'd tell you again, you are awesome. :good:

Then how is it working on wildfire,which has NO GPU?
i thought there were 2 different wildfires, one with gpu and one sans gpu? wildfire s has adreno 200, and im not sure about the regular one.
by the way, did anyone seem to notice that buzz has working youtube? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344
im pretty sure the buzz is the wildfire without gpu, i downloaded the rom and upon initial glance see nothing to do with adreno 200
edit: currently harvesting the crap out of libs from buzz to see if i cant get youtube working, wouldnt that be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, but dont get hopes up
edit 2: (best one by far on my part) boys and girls, YOUTUBE IS GO. I REPEAT, YOUTUBE IS GO!
ill upload the libs and build.prop from the buzz to take entries from, sweet jeebus its really happening!
edit 3: zip is attached, i included a copy of the youtube apk, i havnt tried one from the market as i just installed aokp and forgot to flash gapps, also build.prop from my aokp heroc is attached with relevant entries
if anyone decides to include this, please give all credit to erwinp at the buzz forums, he fixed it, not i
Is it a flashable fix?
hero/heroc flashable zip added, go ahead and flash it (after nandroid backup if your worried about losing anything) and see if it works for you
youtube apk is not in this zip, so install it from market
also gles from buzz is included, im not sure if it will work with our hacked up 1.1 gles, ill see about that and get back to you guys

[TIP] [SM-P600-601] Howto Degrease Battery Drain

I found a tip for my sm-p600 to degrease battery drain.
You just have to degrease resolution and dpi.
On an adb console on your PC :
tape this:
Code:
wm size 2048x1280
(you will have a fc launcher, no pain)
then tape
Code:
wm density 250
your res is now 2048x1280 and your tab is now battery friendly about 50%
it stay after reboot.
if you want to go back to native screen, you have to set res to 2560x1600 and dpi 320
try ! it work
Don't do this on terminal emulator because on change res, you have continuous fc launcher and you can't change dpi.
:good:
This shows how silly xHD resolution is for phones with less than 6 inches. And how amazing battery life could be on current top phones if they still had FullHD displays.
Sm-p600 is an amazing tab with a very high rsolution but have a poor battery life.
If you degrease the res a little, you still have a good display but your battery will stay longer.
Its my choose, so i share.
Please explain how I do this.?
I downloaded android - skd and Android studio and I have USB debugging enabled but that's all I know. Thanks in advance.
Great idea ...
Dear @murigny64 , it's a good idea to lower the resolutions ... but , didn't you face any problems with system apps ( as they are designed for some especial resolutions ... ) ? also , how was your performance with games and demanding apps ? ... did it effect your benchmark results ? ... Great Thanks in Advance

No prob with system apps if you respect resolution vs density.
Only one thing : bootanimation is shifted when you boot device.
I've doing this especially for games like crash royale.
Before the tweak, i can play about 30minutes only. But now, i can play more than 1 hour. It's very amazing.
You can try, it's easy.
Antutu is 53550 with stock 5.1.1 .
+ Good idea to reduce the resolution :good:, more juice for the processor, radio, Gpu, screen on time, etc.
+ I used NOMone resolution changer w\ root (revert back to default in 9s if things go wrong).
+ Layerpaint & cpu-z detects the display as 8".
- Got 51th 48296 on antutu 6.2.7 (lollypop stock serbia rooted, P601 w\ deathly adiutor) Right bellow note 5, Probably because TW lollypop & old processor. Was "13th" 54954 on kitkat (P601 w\ gltools).
- samsung gallery got 1/4 view cut on the right side of the screen (folder view) , i use quickpic.
Didn't see any significant increase in terms of battery life, only slightly.
can anyone else confirm it works?
I'd be interested in an explanation of how reducing the resolution would have any effect on battery usage. The backlight is still on, all the pixels are still used, so what's using less battery?

Less render pressure for the SoC I assume. Backlight is still the #1 hog though.
---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------
To OP: Although this could be overkill, I think you could make the new resolution an integer-multiple downsize to the original (e.g. 2x - 1280x800), so that one image pixel could correspond to an integer-amount of physical pixels (e.g. 2^2=4) on the screen. Could ease rendering pressure even more, but naturally at the cost of clarity.

Hi, adb says this is WM is not recognized as a command. Do you know what am I doing wrong?
>>> nevermind. just an incomplete command
adb shell WM size 2048x1280
Is it possible to do a step by step for non developers? (or a quick video)
What software are you running?
Wow, if working that sounds awesome! Do you think it works also on the P605 (LTE version)?
