Hi,
Lately i'm questioning myself why Motorola defy doesn't has hardware acceleration graphics for the Android Interface like Sony Ericcson Experia Arc does.
Why ? Defy has a powerful GPU that can Improve sightly the performance in the whole device and reduce CPU usage and also increase battery power. Can someone explain me why it isn't activated already ? Do you think that the next version AKA Ice Sandwich will come on our devices ? I hear that the next Android version will has GPU accelerated graphics, Is it right ?
Thanks !
As far as i know xperia arc has a better gpu, hence it is faster.
What do you mean by hardware graphic acceleration for 'android interface'? Do you mean the launcher?
The last update for defy was froyo and it is very unlikey to get an official update to ice cream sandwich
Hardware accelerated 2D graphics
You can now enable the OpenGL renderer for your application by setting android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in your manifest element's <application> element or for individual <activity> elements.
This flag helps applications by making them draw faster. This results in smoother animations, smoother scrolling, and overall better performance and response to user interaction.

Seems like we will have to put our hopes in 3rd party developers to bring this to the Defy

This is only for 3.X devices, which Google didn't release its source code to the community. Also this version is not optimized for mobile phones so I guess we have to cross the fingers and see what the community can do to port Ice Sandwitch to our device when it will be released.
The thing is, why some 2.3.X devices have 2D Accelerated Graphics and Defy don't ? It's a marketing strategy or something ? Cause' it hasn't any sense.
Install launcher pro and opera then... they both use GPU to accelerate their work. Launcher pro is really smooth...

i heard froyo's performance is 4000% better than android 2.1.
so i wanna to know,if I use desire to play video,can i feel the performance that froyo 2.2 rom bring to me?
I think it was more around 400%

What quantifiable difference are you expecting from a performance boost in terms of video? My videos on the Desire look exactly as they should, run at the frame rate I convert them to. A performance boost to the phone wouldn't make them look any better as they look exactly as they should as it is now with 2.1.
Are you having problems with your video?

It is up to 400% better on the interpreted java component of applications. Given that the actual video decoding codecs are essentially native code components, there should be little to no benefit from Froyo's JIT compiler on the actual decoding of the video itself.

What about DIVX playing? Does Froyo supports DIVX?
Or what is the difference between froyo and honeycomb when running apss?
Doesn't every software use the hardware and how is it possible to run app without using the hardware?
I can't get it, so please explain
Honeycomb will use the GPU to accelerate the UI, Internet Browser etc. (So 2D elements too, not just 3D - that means full hardware acceleration).
Honeycomb will come with hardware acceleration, and with just a single line of code, existing applications can take advantage of the 2D hardware acceleration. Honeycomb will come with a new engine for powering 3D graphics on your devices.

I can't play ANY type of video since flashing CM9.0 FXP114, since hardware rendering doesn't work and only renders a frame or two while changing orientation. But I found that switching to software rendering in MX Video Player would work. How can I force software decoder in other apps? Or is there any other solution?

Seriously, anyone?

in build.prop, if you add/modify the value "debug.sf.hw=0", that should turn off hardware acceleration I think

Thanks, but, nope. I'm talking about hardware decoding, not acceleration. When Android tries to play video, it lets the hardware do the hard work (excuse the pun, again), but in this case, FXP CM9 ICS doesn't come with working hardware decoding, it makes impossible to see the video and leaves only the audio. A workaround for this is to use software decoding instead, but I don't know how to do so... Any help?

You can't, just wait for FXP to release a new version, hw decoding should be fixed then

I have a similar problem as well when I Force 2D GPU rendering and turn Wifi On I get a Imiediat force close which is a shame Im tired of CM9 crashing same with a couple of other things and tweaks.
You may be able to use KeiranFTW's Xperia Tweak I came across today for JIT and 2D rendering

None of those things touch the hw decoder, just wait for FXP to fix it, shouldn't be too long
Hi does any of you suffer lagging issues from live wallpaper? when i slide between my home screens the animation halt and then resume a second later. the best part is there is no beam in my phase beam wallpaper, lol?
yes same on me
Im suspecting its the Tegra 3 causing the trouble. My tablet with tegra 2 also suffers from lags with live wallpaper

Or the 3D-effect which still also sense 4 have? Since I have this effect on my old desire (with sense 3.5), the live wallpapers stops when I slide the homescreens. And the desire have surely no Tegra
That's likely because the CPU is doing the rendering. The Tegra 3 GPU is better suited for such tasks.
Android Revolution HD rom for the One X should not have such issues since CPU rendering is entirely disabled and all rendering done via the GPU.
In future, we should be able to do this without flashing a ROM as long as you have root. Anyone know which value to edit to disable CPU rendering?
I think this is caused by Sene... Same on sense 3.0, 3.5 & 3.6... Same wallpaper i am using on my Transformer works smooth.
Using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5ka2Vlc3RvLmRpZ2l0YWxoaXZlZnJlZSJd
GPU 2D Rendering cannot be enabled...so can't test it...
This is a feature of sense, nothing to do with the Tegra, it was implemented by HTC, if a AOSP rom is built for the One X then it won't have this "feature"
I forced GPU rendering and GPU UI rendering on my One X. Does not solve this problem.
I agree. This is a HTC sense problem. Probably due to the Carousel effect. Finding a way to modify Rosie.apk to remove this effect and see if it works fine after that.

Hello everyone...
any one can tell me what are adreno dirvers ?
how it can improve my xperia arc (or any other 2011 xperia)?
and every thing about it (every thing you know ) please
Arc GPU is Adreno 205 and "adreno drivers" are just updated drivers taken from newer Xperia devices with the same GPU. It's the only "tweak" that really works and gives visible performance improvements without side effects but keep in mind that it's only compatible with stock and stock based ICS ROMs.

thank you for you information
i dont know about these things. but they hardly improve the graphics performance on my Arc ... about a 5fps rise in Nenamark, i dont know if thats alot, but does seem abit too minimal ....
