Real sweet idea for an app (nfc)

Anyone remember tamigotchi's from back in the day? And then ones that could link together to battle?
I thought it would be pretty cool to make an app similar to that and use NFC as a means to battle them.
Anyone else think thats a cool idea?

I was looking for a tomigatchi but this sounds better. Let's do it!

Battling would be like Digimon, lol. I had both Tamagotchi and Digimon as a kid.

Love the idea
but I'm not sure NFC works like that?

I doubt you'd want to have your phones back to back all the time. That wouldn't be very fun. Best would be to use NFC to initiate a Bluetooth pair or WiFi connection.

Even if you just created an online game with user names to search for and fight I think some people would bite.

I know there was a Tamagotchi app created a long time ago on XDA. I'd like to see what happened with that, but if you start something up like this then I'll definitely hop on this.

I'm not kidding.

GPU rendering.

Really? Couldn't read the other threads on this? lol.

I was told that it hampers performance for many apps, so I disabled it..
In conclusion, I am not using Forced GPU rendering.

I always have it on

I have mine on. Don't really notice any difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

In apps that don't have gpu rendering enabled by default you see a very big difference in scrolling performance when you force enable it. e.g tapatalk 1.x (2.x uses gpu by default so no difference)

It only improves performance in the apps that don't have hardware acceleration enabled by default. I keep mine off because some apps (like Engadget) glitch out when forced to use the GPU and don't display things properly.
This phone's CPU is fast enough that GPU acceleration isn't exactly needed. It does make a noticeable difference, though.

It would be really nice if anyone could port this mod for our device resolution

Hmm if this is for the GSM nexus... should be able to modify the script so it doesn't search for your phone model. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. And see if I can't get to to work universally.
Just realized its for the nexus not the gnex I feel stupid now.

Ya want this

Screen recorders

Im not sure if this is the same for everyone but for my gnex none of the screen recorders (such as screen cast) work properly on the phone atvall . I was wondering if someone could tell me why that is or give me a different way of recording my screen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Screencast states in info that it won't work with galaxy nexus. As to why..I don't know, maybe something to do with resolution or GPU...
Quick search gave me this:
Known Bugs/Issues: Tegra 2 devices: This is not really a bug, but an inherit problem with Tegra 2 devices. Screencast is built using NEON instruction set for the most part, and as such, requires a device that has NEON capability. Nvidia decided to not include NEON support in their Tegra 2 devices.
So I guess our GPU don't support NEON instruction sets.

Get an MHL adapter and a HDMI recorder. They're not cheap though.
