[Q] Higher-end Gaming Dinc2

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an app or anything that can allow vivow to run higher end games? Somehow, I am not quite sure though, Plantz vs Zombies is considered i high end game (off of amazon marketplace) and i really want to have it on my dinc2.. also if there is a way, are there any good first person shooter style games or anything?

NOVA is pretty nice

N64oid runs 10x better on the INC2 than on my Droid X2 which was Nvidia dual-core.

Plants vs. Zombies (From Amazon) runs and looks better on my DInc2 than it does on my A500 that has a Tegra2 Dual Core in it!

If I've helped. don't neglect my thanks button

I've been running some of the higher end games from the market without a problem. Games like Contract killer zombies, Gun bros, and frontline commando etc..without any issue or lag at all.

[Q] Should I trade my D3 for Dinc 2?

I have a Droid 3 and missing the MIUI and other rom experiences. My only concern with trading out for the Dinc 2 is performance (flash video) and future support.
Any former dual core users here that can compare with Dinc 2's fluidity? The narrow screen of the D3 bugs me as well, I also like the option of free tethering which is a hassle right now with D3. I don't hog data i just like to have the option to use it. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Personally, I think the Inc2 is plenty fast. I have no lag running Sense 3.5
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using xda premium

Never had a 2core before but I have seen that the development section of the D3 is really empty looking without rom threads.

My Inc 2 is faster and smoother than my dx2 ever was
Tap'n on miui incredible 2

I have to say that the inc2 is first pick. My phone out performs most dual core. Haven't put it toe to toe yet with the razr but if it is anything like past moto phones it will hold its own.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using xda premium

I have never used a dual core phones, but for some reason devs stay away from them. Then again devs stay away from moto phones too. So if you want this phone for the ROMs then go ahead. But the new dual core HTC phone for Verizon looks pretty sick, and I know devs will love to make ROMs for that. If you do get the dinc 2 please compair the speed of both phones and say which one is better running the default ROMs on both. Just.wondering.

Instead of dinc 2, I would say getting a rezound is better. But of you emphasize of miui ROM den get a dinc 2.

Far from it.
Back to OP: I'd go with the dinc2, much better community, better phone overall imo. Technically, the D3 is superior, but in my hands, I really preferred the dinc2. Much nicer on the eyes, thinner, etc.

If you do trade make sure you get some money out of it. $75 -$50

I had the droid 2 global and traded up for the incredible 2...WITH no regrets at all....The incredible 2 has way more options to mod with and is a lot smoother running... Go with the incredible!

Incredible vs incredible II

Which is the better phone overall? Which has the biggest/best dev community? What are the pros and cons?

Thanks! Yes I knew it had a bigger screen 4" I think vs 3.7. But faster processer? What are the clock speeds on the two phones? I thought the dinc was clocked at 1000.

I loved my Inc1... But the Inc2 is what the original should have been at launch. I only miss the red accents. Perfect size for a phone. Not gigantic and ugly like the Moto Razr Tablet and not too small like how my Inc1 feels now.
Love this phone just wish it was 4g
Loved the Inc1 dev community but the Inc2 is growing and has everything I need. Virtuous, Cm7, and the fifteen million Newt roms.

I came from a Droid X and I must say, I love this phone. Unlocked bootloader, sweet roms.
It does, however, seem quite a bit smaller in my pocket, which it good, and in hand, which is not as good.

Incredible 2 , if it will be used as CDMA , there are many Sense 3.5 Roms and dev community for that . But if you are Using GSM , there are only very few roms that support Global Mode and the max available is Sense 3

It would be used as CDMA. Do both phones have the same clock speed? And what is the difference in ram?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium

They have the same speed but the core in this phone is newer and has a faster GPU.

dinc1 has 512mb of ram, dinc2 has 768 i believe
as for faster processor, clock speed isnt everything. Just try out a 1.6ghz atom and compare it to a 1.6ghz i3. The snapdragon in the Dinc2 is a new chip, with a smaller architecture and better power management, with a newer GPU.
Not to be an ass, but honestly you're comparing an older phone to a newer one. The Dinc2 is an all around better phone simply because it has some more refined components in it.
As for the dev community, this phone has quite an active one. We have 2 different ICS ports (one on xda, the other on rootzwiki), countless sense roms, TSM poolparty, OMFGB, OMGB, CM7, MIUI, etc. We have nearly anything you could want running on this phone out, or in the pipeline.
This is a great device and if you're looking to get one, i'd recommend it.

100% agreed.
I started with the HTC Eris
Then the D INC 1
and now D INC 2, and all 3 were great phones. But the INC2 just blows the INC1 out of the water. Is the Inc1 still a nice phone? Yes. Is the INC2 much better? Yes.

Lol I feel so young in smartphone years. The DINC2 is my first one. I had jailbroken my iPod touch and messed around with themes and stuff and even downloaded a thing to make my own, but I got this and I can't go back to iOS unless I was forced to. I love this phone. It's very smooth running, and I wouldn't trade it for anything lol. Except maybe an s-off rezound or something
I know it doesn't exist yet, but I'd love to see it haha.

I'm very happy with this phone, not even sure if i'd swap it for a G-Nex...(call me insane xD)

Let's also not forget the stupid /data/data partition with the Incredible that really limited the amount of apps you could have installed.

But yes this phone is great one of the best experiences I have ever had with a phone.

No HDMI or MHL with the Dinc 2 though.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Antutu and Quadrant

I got to test the SGN2 last night and i have to say, I LOVE IT! I am getting myself this phone for Christmas. Anyway enough babbling...check out these scores from Antutu and Quadrant. Blew my 3D out of the water.

I totally love this phone. Running Sleshepic's ice reborn. I don't think there's anything that comes close to this thing.

I used to root and run Roms but I feel that in some ways rooting almost shortens my phones life. I bought an Evo 3D and decided not to root and the phone runs great on stock ICS. And I do agree that this phone is topdog amongst the rest. Can't wait to get my hands on mine.

2 years ago I got myself the Evo 4g, had it stock for the 1st year (because I didn't know about rooting) then I got the samsung galaxy tab 8.9. I wanted to use the tab at work & someone mentioned rooting for free wifi tether. Best thing I ever did. I got the flashing sickness. I would sometimes flash 4 to 5 roms a day. Now I have the amazing note2. Anyway, my Evo looks brand new, rooting it didn't harm it in the least. It made it a better phone. Now it's a media device. Just my 2¢

I had my mind set on getting the note 2 ever since I heard about it, but after watching a video on YouTube that compared the note 2 and the DNA, I'm not so sure. The video ran every benchmark that antutu has to offer and the DNA beat the note 2 in almost every test by a little. Also, the DNA has a larger resolution.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

Benchnarks are relative. You dont know if its been overclocked or if one has a bunch of apps or services running. You have to look at the specs and see if its better. I ran both of these benchmarks after reading this and my phone had better results several times and worse results several times.
Sent from my Note 2 on xda premium

I think you have a point. I noticed that the note 2 has a faster clock speed on it's CPU but thought that perhaps the make of the CPU alone could make a difference in performance (Intel CPUs vs AMD CPUs for example).
In regards to resolution, has anyone seen the difference between the note 2 and the HTC DNA? I don't think the video review does a good job of showing the picture quality of each phone.

I have played with both devices and while the DNA is a nice device it does feel sluggish at times especialy when hopping in between different open programs.
As for the display, its all about user preference. I prefer the Note for the vibrant colors. The DNA seemed a little crisper but it also bothered my eyes after staring at it for awhile.

I think you're doing yourself a serious disservice if you make your decision based on benchmark scores from either one of these apps.

I believe there is a comparison between the two phones as they are both rather large phones and leaders in performance.
I personally don't consider the s pen the note 2's defining characteristic (although I can see why some would). The s pen aside, the note 2 is a beast of a phone. I think of the s pen as an added bonus, similar to my Samsung Epic 4g's slide out keyboard.

These would be the least of the things I would use to consider a new phone. I was just running these and was suprised at the score. I've been set on this phone for a while. And if I don't get it, ill probably consider another HTC. I love the sense.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

I always find myself messing with the benchmark apps of Quadrant and Antutu, it does do a good comparison. And for those who say some times it is slower and sometimes higher.. When you run a car/motorcycle on the dyno or quarter mile don't you also get higher and lower results? It may not be the most concrete comparison system but it isn't garbage.(not saying anyone in HERE called it garbage but have heard it in other places). Anyways for a 7600 score on quadrant what were you running for clock speed min max, the gpu settings etc. I noticed you were on the Venum Ice reborn ROM. it is Odexed, aren't those supposed to be faster?
Also how do the fellas on top of the Antutu boards running the Gn2 run the test at resolutions of like 720x8 and other crazy res's like that?
I had a couple real low 7k quadrant runs but they got wiped flashing ROM's and not saving it. but here's what I do have.

Sii vs siii?

Just curious what you guys think on how our phone stacks up against the s3? I don't really like how big it is, but is it that far off ? The version if the s3 that is sold where I am is dual core, so is there really a big difference ?

Lol its loads faster. Bigger screen. HD display. 2 gigs of ram. Its a win win all around.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

I had a 4" screen (Lg g2x) and wanted the bigger screen so my only two phones I would have wanted were the sgs2 and 3 because I previously had a captivate and it was great. I still went with the sgs2 because i just found the screen on the 3 too large for one hand use and wasn't worth the extra money to me.

In my honest opinion, Samsung really banged out a powerhouse in the s3. Bigger super amoled plus display, 2 GB ram, a notification light , and best of all TOUCH WIZ UX. This has amazing built in features such as swipe your palm to take a screen shot, to smart stay, where the phone doesn't turn of when you're looking at it. The international version as well has a quad core processor. Hope this answered your question/ helped in any way

Its an all around upgrade in every conceivable way. The t989 is no slouch though. The upgrade isn't necessary unless you want to have the latest. If I could sell this phone and add maybe 100-150$ I'd do it.

Lol wut? Where are you getting your info from? The s4, even though its a dual is faster by 20-30%. Cores don't mean anything. Look at the exynos dual core that's about to release.. it puts even the fastest quad cores out to shame.
