[Q] What are the options to enable HW Acceleration in ICS

Hello,
I am new to this forum (even if I have been reading it for a few months already/ I am myself a software developer) and I have some questions concerning the port of ICS to the Desire HD.
I am mainly concerned about our options to implement GPU HW acceleration. As far as I know, the Adreno 205 driver source code is not public.
- Do we need to wait a new release from Qualcomm ?
- Is there a possibility to do some reverse-engineering and possibly hack the current driver to make it work with ICS ?
- Can we use the current driver and 'modify/hack' ICS source code ?
- I suppose we can wait for an official driver for a different phone using the same GPU and 'hack' it to make it work on our device ?
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
The status is, that freexperia cm9 sneak preview hs hw acceleration enabled and the xperia has the same gpu as the dhd. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19777780&postcount=2013 )
But the problem is that their git tree has not been updated with the hw acceleration patches and therefor contains nothing of use to the dhd port. ( https://github.com/freexperia and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19777780&postcount=2013 ) There are currently several Posts in the freexperia thread urging them to update their git.
Also there is the following status on how and what to do about drivers: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10447-adreno200-source-code-userspace-driver/#entry54129
Thank you very much. A lot of devices use the MSM8255 snapdragon system so I guess as soon as one of them has HW acceleration working, it should be possible to implement it on the DHD too.
I cannot wait to know more about those patches for the xperia ARC

[Q] How can I flash stock firmwares to my SGY?
[Ans] Current Odin releases (1.84, 1.85) does support SGY, but has
incompatibility issues with stock firmware packs (eg from FUS
server, Sammobile, and other common sources). But Doky73
converted most of the current firmwares and released it to public.
He'll make other bundles on request or popularity.

How can I tell if antutu cpu master is working?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
you will feel the decreased speed and increased battery life
Yikes. Well I was wondering if there was any way to check logs of some sort. To monitor the cpu. Because honestly, I can't tell myself if there's a difference. And any time I check it's running at max frequency. So I want to know if it's doing anything when phone is not in use.
Edit
I tried to use cpu spy. It doesn't seem to be compatible with sgy? :/
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
actually max frequency is the default frequency ie. 832 Mhz so you won't feel any difference because there is no difference
but when you will under clock it ie 600 Mhz then you will feel difference
and Yeah SGY kernel ain't support cpu master
re
to check if cpu frequency has decreased, run a benchmark before and after frequency change, you will get lower score with lower frequency...
And currently SGY kernel only support 312 and 832, you cant select any other frequency.....
i would like to suggest to put this in FAQ

Can someone please tell me which rom should i choose for making my own custom rom, by brother have this phone and i want to make a good custom rom for him but i m confused in choosing a rom as a base, please suggest me the best stock rom out for galaxy y.
please guys keep patience my exams are very near I'm too busy atm I'll add all of these and lots more but please wait for sometime
Thank You..
This post is in reply to jeffcleds on the other thread PG closed just now. I've typed it up then hit reply only to get a message that the thread has been closed. So copy pasta to here:
^+1 for number five. Lol.
But seriously, this is why you make a backup before flashing custom roms. I've seen you go around on other threads begging for help on how to get back to stock, but never bothering to understand the answer when it requires you to think for yourself. No offense.
No, kies won't help. No, don't bring it to a service center. They won't accept phones with custom roms. Flash stock via Odin. I'll link you to a guide tomorrow with all the files you need, if nobody does it before me. I need to catch up on sleep for now. For now I suggest you read up on nandroid backups. It'll help.

Google chrome

I found this patchd version of google chrome over on the arc forum, it does install and sign me in but doesn't display web pages for me, the non patched version from the market will not run at all for me and i know is due to no hardware acceleration yet on ics builds for defy, but maybe a dev here can work with this version, maybe not but thought I'd post anyway,
I did not patch this and do not know who did but here is the post i got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22910621 ,

We'd still need HWA, wich we can't implement on gingerbread so all you can do is wait for CM9 to have it
CM7 + CM9 double boot
HWA will soon be implemented in Defy/Defy+ CM9 ...

Where from you know that? Is it certain information or you just assuming?
Could someone competent introduce me to the HWA problem on AOSP ICS? Is there a need for new drivers for each GPU model or CM team is prepairing universal solution for this? I'm not very into Android architecture, maybe someone who is can answer?

Eppy and quarx are working on hardware acceleration for CM9 at the moment. They have got HDA working partially (3D accel.) But 2D acceleration is not yet working. And it's 2D acceleration that is needed in order for chrome to work.
It may be a driver matter, i don't know, but i'd make an intelligent guess on it
CM7 + CM9 double boot

Nokia X CPU and GPU overclock

Hello,
Is there a software which can overclock the cpu and gpu of Nokia X and is it necessary to wait for a modified kernel in order such software to be able to work?

The NULL Kernel already allows for overclocking. Check the Android Development Section and read the NULL Kernel thread. I believe its overclocked.

Thank you for the fast reply. I checked the thread. It seems they managed to overclock the gpu but there is no option for cpu. I guess I will need to wait and hope someone to be able to implement cpu overclocking.
I tried a few apps (SetCPU, Titanium Tweaker, KUI), but none of them overclocked my CPU. Using 3.4.86 kernel that comes with dhacker's 29 AOSP ROM.
