[MOD]Webkit browser accelerate

I didn't make this, I just found it and put it in a flashable zip.
It was in the meXdroid Pre-Ghost Chili ROM, but for some reason not in the latest AIO version. I think it was also in the CM7 nightlies, but I'm not entirely sure.
Anyway, it just makes the webkit browsers(pretty much all browsers except Opera and Firefox) a little smoother, especially when pinch-zooming in.
I tested this working on CM7 nightly 204 and meXdroid Ghost Chili AIO.
It didn't work on MIUI and Sense ROMS. MIUI hanged at boot and Sense crashed the browser. You can try it if you want though.
Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/P4UCPVX4IY
The .zip flashes 2 files:
system/lib/libwebcore.so
system/lib/libwebkitaccel.so

Do you have some benchmarks or something?
Because I don't know if I will flash it if it is a "little smoother"

Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DZnie3u0YI

Dang! That's smoother than Opera! Wish it was working for MIUI though :/

It's not smoother than Opera, but it's definitely an improvement.
Zooming out is still a little laggy like normal, and scrolling on large pages(like xda forums expanded view) is still laggy.
I wonder why they removed this from the CM7 nightlys though.

When I first judged the performance, I was basing my observations on the YT video. Now, I'm running CM7 and using the stock browser.
- the stock browser seemed smoother than Dolphin HD, but yes, not as smooth as Opera. Rendering wasn't perfect on Opera 100% of the time though (the google mobile page comes to mind).
- it was definitely smoother than normal, mostly after the page finished loading. When the page was still loading, scrolling was still fairly choppy. But still definitely recommended for those not on Opera.

Definitely some difference on CM7. Stability is noticeably lower though.
Still not at Opera's level =/
Vellamo shows that it's now running close to 60fps instead of 30fps

I use stock browser on meXdroidmod ghost chili AIO. It is buttery smooth. Way better than the video posted above. I really can't imagine it being better cause its that smooth.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I actually used meXdroidmod AIO in the video. After I flashed gapps(non modded) it broke the theme.
Also, because all browsers on Android use the same webkit engine, I doubt one is smoother than the other. Because of this, this should work on all those browsers(incl. Dolphin HD).
With the exception of Opera Mobile and Firefox though. Those 2 use their own rendering engine.

Works great! They removed it from CM due to stability issues but honestly I rather deal with the occasional crash than slow browsing. For shame on all of you who didn't thank the guy for posting this! Wtf is wrong with you people?! Don't worry! I gave you 5 points to make up for it. Also, it only works on 2.3.4 and above...

I haven't noticed any stability issues myself though, but I also rather have a occasional crash than the normal choppy browsing. I always had to use Opera, since the stock browsers were so horribly slow.
Let's hope IceCreamSandwich will be better. The ICS browser will supposedly have full hardware acceleration in the browser.
Also, I just tested this on my sisters' Nexus S, and it worked. Perhaps it works on more devices?

Yeah, it should work for any phone with 2.3.4 and above. The latest CM Nightlies build 220 has a performance option to smooth scrolling in general. Combine with this and its pretty darn smooth. Opera is a great alternative but its rendering can be screwy sometimes. Plus, it always opens pages in overview which drives me nuts, lol! But ICS, we are ALL looking forward to. I was unaware that the browser would have full hardware acceleration. That's awesome! Our devices have a decent GPU and great CPU so we should be set!

Thanks for the mod, it works well on the CM7 nightly build that I'm running

Is this only for the g2?

No, it also works on a Nexus S and probably more devices. But I'm not sure if the .zip will work on your device.
If it doesn't, you can just extract the zip and use adb to push "libwebkitaccel.so" and "libwebcore.so" to system/lib/.

Yep it works, snappy. Thanks dude

Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM LAG when scrolling and texting?

Well, I've had my phone for a little over a week and I'm realizing lag when scrolling in the app drawer. its not extremely laggy, but its just not super smooth. When I also text really fast it also lags which is really hard to type. I turned of auto correction I think it fixed the problem, but I'm not 100%. Anyone of you experiencing this?
Oh forgot to mention do you guys hear static when you have the volume really high?

I don't have this issue but I am also using the force gpu rendering option. Everything is smooth and fast.

Ive had the completely opposite experience... I too experience "lag" when typing, choppy scrolling, slow opening / running apps, etc... OP, I have the same issues as you do. Please advise if you were able to fix them and if so, what steps did you use?

I dont have lag when typing in text. But many people have complained about stuttering in the app drawer.

Yeah, if i scroll really fast during the app drawer i notice lag, a little choppy lag, for most people many might not notice it. But I do, i think because i'm so used to my 120hz monitor when I used a 60hz monitor I notice just by moving around a window. I might be picky, but there is lag without a doubt in this phone or atleast my phone.

i already did it. i don't notice an improvement.

Different roms behave differently. Mine was pretty smooth but I've noticed lag on APW scrollable Widgets and flicking through the XDA on several roms. 4.0.3 helped but didn't fix.
Now I'm running Axi0m rom now which is 4.0.4 and there is no lag anymore. Much faster. I'm not over clocking or anything outside of the stock settings for that rom.
So I don't know if its 4.0.4 or the kernel/rom combination, but its a welcome addition. It uses Franco's kernel so maybe it was fixed there?
I DONT have Force 2D enabled either. FYI. Realistic answer.

Don't listen to people telling to "Force GPU rendering", they don't know what they're talking about (Launcher2 already uses GPU rendering).
The slight stuttering when scrolling the app drawer is a known bug, reportedly fixed in firmware > 4.0.2 and it also didn't seem to happen in 4.0.1.

^^^^ This.
Wth is with ppl saying to force gpu rendering, it only works in apps that don't make use of gpu rendering.
The UI in ICS is rendered completely by the gpu so checking/unchecking that option does NOTHING to the UI.
That myth needed to be put to bed.

You guys seem to know your game so how come it still lags in 4.0.3?
for some weaird reason it seems to be stable for me right now... I did check force gpu and 4.0.4 since it's unoffical there isnt any real fast roms for 4.0.4 thanks guys!

The first thing I do after a fresh ROM flash is change the animation scales to 0 in Settings>Development>window+transition animations. I also disable app drawer in/out animations in my launcher settings. The stock ICS animations are fairly obnoxious and much more pronounced than the GB animations. I do the same on my I9100 on CM9. Look at it this way, animations are wasted time, if they're a little over the top then it's more wasted time + more work. My GN is as smooth as my I9100 throughout its life; stock, modded stock, CM7, and CM9.

If you go to nexus s forums you will see that a guy did benchmarks on all the roms available andstock 4.0.4 was the fastest, in fact the top 5 has 4 4.0.4 based roms.
give it a try and see how it is.

dont really want to give up all the AOKP options they are just amazing. I guess I will listen to the other guy and disable all animations and see if it looks better and wait for 4.0.4 rom

Well I agree completely with that course of action because that's what I do!

I actually like it animations off.
So I am guessing we all are seeing delays in animations which look like lag? it so so much smoother right now. Will report later on.

DroidTheory's Axi0m CrossBreef rom is based on 4.0.4 leak but has all the functionality of AOKP M4 (merged).

What rom are you using ?

ok guys !!
share what rom are you using ?
and the specific reasons for it !

stock V11a rom - rooted
i am using it because it actually has decent battery life (unlike the v10 series) and because i am waiting for tuesday to put Cyano on it.
I would also like to see the different reasons for using particular roms, good thread idea

@ aaki_rocker what is your rom and why?
For me lol.. depend on what i work on.. right now i use cm-9-20120629-UNOFFICIAL-p930 (my compiled CM9 test build)

CM9 RC1. Running like gravy since it launched. Its fast, smooth, and offers pretty sweet battery life even without HONOs kernel. Oh, and many of the things they released a couple days ago at the Google IO conference work on ICS(google chrome for android is ICS+ only).
Just a few of the perks of running a CM9 rom.

im using hono! not with hono kernel since max keep goin down to 100mhz

Stock gingerbread ROM with HONO's kernel for me! CM9 just isn't as smooth for me, and while the ICS leak is as smooth (if not a smidge smoother than GB stock), the screen digitizer driver seems to not be perfectly calibrated (most noticeable and annoying when using swype or other "dragging/drawing" apps) on the ICS leak, AND it seems in ICS they screwed with the way zooming on images is handled.
1.) First, when web browsing, text doesn't auto align like it used to in GB, regardless of browser (with the exception of Opera, but I don't really like that browser very much)
2.) In email apps which DO allow pinch to zoom on emails with lots of images (such as touchdown and K-9), you can't seem to zoom out anymore in ICS when you could in gingerbread, so you're forced to have to slide around a ginormous email image to take a look at it rather than zoom out entirely and get an overview.
If anyone else knows of an email app that allows pinch to zoom to zoom OUT of a large email far enough to get a complete page overview in ICS, let me know. (I'm aware K-9 and touchdown still allow the zoom function, but they seem to cap how far you can zoom out in ICS far below getting a full image, when this isn't the case for these programs in gingerbread. Some strange global setting in ICS, it seems...)

i dont know whether pinch zoom is supported or not but its worth a shot !

I've tried fixing permissions to get rid of the force close but nothing. But itabnot force close in a sence. Its whenever I try to start an app, of the phone process, or the system setting, it say that unfortunately the *process name* is not responding. I've flashed the rom 3 times consecutively and the kernel and fixed permissions and the same things still happens. :-/. Guess its just my luck

Thanks for the suggestion!
I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it also won't allow zooming out on emails if installed on ics even though when it's installed on gingerbread, it zooms out just fine. It's definitely a systemic issue on all ics-based roms for all phones. People have been complaining about it for all ics phones, not just the Nitro. Oh well. Till they change that, I'm sticking with gingerbread! Because of what I work with, tons of my emails are ginormous, and I need to be able to get a full overview for it to be useful. I don't have any major qualms with gingerbread anyway. Honestly, I just wanted to get rid of the color banding, but that'll just have to wait =P

Why do you like your ROM?

What rom do you have on your phone?
Why do you like it?
What dont you like about it?
Im curious to see what everyone is running
So far ive ran aokp, paranoid android, and cm10.
Im currently on cm10 and enjoy how professional it is. (explaining the swag button to potent galaxy buyers was kind of tough)
I would have kept paranoid android but the profiles didnt work and i didnt know how to use the dpi changer.
I also started this thread to see who uses android development ROMS instead of the original development ones
Im mainly interested in the non original android development roms users and their oppinions but everyone's answer is appreciated

My favorite was Codename Android, besides one major flaw that myself and very few others experienced: Impossible to send SMS longer than 160 characters, regardless of settings/reflashes/apn/etc. Just because it was the smoothest ROM for me.
I value UI smoothness above all else and have yet to find a ROM that is truly stutter free.
CM10 is ok, but if you go to clock and swipe to the side to go to timer it stutters like a pentium 2 running Crysis: Warhead.
Stock ICS ROM's lag, as well Facebook/third party app scrolling has constant stutter reminiscing of SGS1
JB Leaks (LIF, LIG, LIH) give me blackscreen reboots once in a while, although noticeably smoother than ICS.
I didn't mention battery life as quite frankly I can get a day of usage with every ROM I have tried so far which is nearly all of them.
I think I'm using stock ROM right now as I was fed up and just restored an old nandroid... I guess its ok, everything just works, lots of stutter's though. Doesn't have that premium feel you expect of a device at this price point.

I have tried multiple versions of it, still stutters on homescreen sometimes. Same Timer stutter as CM10 and annoying alarm bug (although there is a fix, it's inconvenient). As well the Nova launcher that AOKP uses, and pretty much all third party launchers have a little input lag due to non native integration or no hardware acceleration (not sure which, but the input lag is there).
Anyway I'll take my fluidity rant somewhere else, people seem happy with the current state of the phone.

The childishness of aokp turned me off since i looked at the boot logo but my gripes can all be easily fixed /hidden.
I havent noticed the speed difference but i do see tge lag you speak about but ive dismissed it as a hardware being underpowered to the rom issue and dont notice it as much anymore

Because its my ROM. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I had been running AOKP for a week or so, I like its customization better than that of other ROMs.
I just yesterday found a new ROM called Paranoid KANGdroid. It pulls from CM10, AOKP, and Paranoid Android. Has pretty much all the features of all three. So much customization, I love it. Not fully stable, though, its only a few days old.

I was on TW ICS and now on TW JB. My battery life is worse on JB. I think I'm going to give AOKP or CM10 a try this weekend for the first time.

I have brand new att s3 and 4.0
should I root it then get official update, or update it and then root?

the official update breaks root so it won't matter. you can root the new JB update though no problem.

I was on TW ICS and now on TW JB. My battery life is worse on JB. I think I'm going to give AOKP or CM10 a try this weekend for the first time.

Cm10 ROM is truly amazing. What do you really loose? You loose all the motion gestures that, well personally I didn't use except the *stay awake* one, the stock video player, ability to save camera to extsd(which I actually hate not having)
What do you gain? You gain speeds on a phone I never imagined, you gain the absolute absence of bloatware, you gain an awesome camera, total systematic customization, far less app freezes(if rarely any), beautiful lock screen, notification bar from heaven, longer battery, performance control and sooooo much more. So far the S3 with a CM ROM on it, is longest phone I have ever kept.

Is there a way to update CM 10 nightly automatically? Or is it by flashing as if it was another rom? Where do we get 10.1? Thanks

I go to "system settings /about phone /Cm10 updates " you should be able to update there.

The ability to save camera images to EXT SD is something I wasn't aware CM10 didn't have. Hmm, I usually keep all my media on the EXT SD. I guess that's not a deal breaker more than it is an annoyance. The other thing I expect to lose is S Planner and the related widgets. I thought they were very useful. I wonder if the AOSP Calendar app has a similar widget? Can you or anyone confirm?
I look forward to the performance improvements even though I have no complaints with the TW JB in that area. The battery life is what I am hoping will improve quite a bit.

I was running CM10 since the stable release. I loved it. Battery life was great. I missed a lot of the TW features so i went to Bacon. Personally i wish there was a hybrid of both. BT works better in TW, but CM is so damn fast! Its just a preference, but try them out. Thats the beauty of owning these devices. .

I agree. I tried CM10 for a few days and I loved it, but I had to go back to stock (and happened to get the official JB update the same day). I use Bluetooth in my car, so it's a really important feature for me. The CM Bluetooth support just isn't as solid as the stock ROM. It sometimes had trouble connecting, the volume was lower, and there was a bug where there was no bass. Also, the stock ROM has some nice Samsung features that I'd like to try out for a bit longer (I just got the phone last week).
If CM can resolve the BT issues, then I might go back. However, I had similar issues on CM6/7 on my old Sony Ericsson X10. I wanted to throw that phone out the window of my car.

I flashed blackjellyv.0.9.1 and got everything stock had to offer with the cm10 feel and more. So amazing that tw should mimic it. But, weirdly I got so used the phone ability to swipe from dialer over that having to two hand it to the top to select things really irritated me. The cm10.0 is a bit faster, BUT u can DL pics right to SDCard on camera!!! The lock screen is the ripple stock which I wish were the jellybean lock instead, and the dialer flashes greens and blues etc while it is call out or coming in if you do not have a pic defaulted. I couldn't stand that part. The BlackJelly though IS the stock version of CM10 IMO
