[Q] GB | ICS | JB : pros and cons - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hey. I want to finaly find ROM for everyday use. But i dont really know what advantages and disadvantages those androids have. I want newer system than GB, but im afraid of batery draining and etc. I don't record videos or use panorama, so i don't care about those bugs. I just want nice smooth rom for games (i mostly play solitaire ), but good battery life. But i think most important for me is interface and battery... Can u tell me main differences between those three system, so i can choose the best rom. I can install milions of different ROMs but i dont really know the differences... But if u want u can recommend me good rom, i won't be angry.
I had tons of roms installed on my gio, but never stayed with one rom more than two weeks.

here is some pros and cons of gb,ics and jb(as far as i know)

pros
-Stable
-fully functional camera
-better ram handle
-better gaming
-best battery performance
cons
-none(as far as i know)
ICS

-Super smooth
-Newer interface
-touch-to-focus feature

True.
ICS and JB are clearly different on battery time than on GB, as well as stability

yes of cource.GB is much much stable and has better perfomance.i already running GB over the 1 years without any troubles or any issues.

ive got another question.. can you recommend me ROM with nice interface but with good battery performance? Like i said. Ive tried so many roms, that i dont really know which is better. Im mostly using wifi or 3g network for steam app and SMS. However id like to play sometimes game and dont want to play laggy games. I know its almost impossible to find such rom, but you people here are experienced, as i see, enough to help me Thanks

yes.camcorder is working but only with 3rd party app which is working sluggish as hell and for HQ playback yes it is.

I don't think that battery performance is bad in ICS or JB... My phone can lasts for 2 days...
And about the memory management: In Maclaw's AOSP ICS and in CM10.1 by OldDroid I have ~150-160 Mb free RAM... This is a big improvement for these android versions.

My battery lasts a day on JB (listening to music all the day xD)
The performance is very good and JB is stable. You should use a task manager (Advanced Task Killer for instance) and close apps like Email.
In my opinion GB is a bit obsolete. JB's new notifications are beautiful! <3

[Q] Any tweak for camera ?

hi everybody ,
i'm wodrig if there is tweakig tool or costumized keral or patch , that improve camera speed i our desire !
i have okia n96 is old one but camera is fast in both photos and videos , so it has to be better in desire , becouse it is faster cpu + gpu+ ram , >>>
there is many tweaks for gpu iprovemet and cpu and sound , wifi , 3g , and more athers , but no body talk about camera !
so , any one can help me in that ?
Faster CPU, GPU and RAM does not mean a better camera.
A camera has its own hardware, and Desires camera can be limited by other design factors like shutter speed, inner buffers, buses or communication protocols.
I'm just guessing here, and if you find any working tweak, please share
I see that the Speed of Camera depends on App and Driver.
When you use AOSP Camera App like on CM the speed is quiet slow.
However if you try some sense ROM, surely the quality and Speed of Camera Increases.
Currently I am trying Runny ROM and it has app Fast Burst Camera which is quiet quick then any other Camera App.

LT15i Custom kernels performance

Hi, first at all i want to say that i tested nearly every rom & kernel combinations and still i'm not satisfied with the performance. Overall device is performing better (i'm running @1,4GHz - Stock Plus & DoomKernels 15-20) and in 3D heavy games framerate is higher for sure, but there's a lot of stuttering and sometimes games are unplayable (for example Backstab and Asphalt 6 with annoying one sec stuttering). On stock kernel game (Backstab) is running without any performance issues (only few dropped frames when there's a high draw distance) and the device itself is running "only" at 1GHz. Now something about DoomKernel - interface is not running smoothly (with simple 3D live wallpaper but 2d is ok) and i can give you another gaming example with MC3 - main menu is running at ~20 fps (and game itself is also stuttering) and on stock kernel/stock plus it's much smoother. So there is any fix for my problem or it's something wrong with my arc or what . Stock kernel by Sony > custom kernels? Something is wrong here... Thanks in advance and pardon about my english .
try playing on performance governor
I played with governors with no result ;(

okay, now i'm gonna "stress test" every single governor available in kernel ; d
Bump!
I've added a video :<

Have you tried Stockplus Kernel? It's based on DoomKernel but has a lot of changes and tweaks. Some people report better results with it when compared to DoomKernel.

Almost Everything is working nicely
Cons are:
To be honest I cant still call it a stable version because battery lasts for like a day then i have to recharge it at the end of the day(I know why it happens cuz of heavy RAM consuming blahblahblah...

[Q] Gangstar vegas on Arc s

Has anyone played Gangstar Vegas on Arc S without lag or other problem ? "Very low" visual quality gives lag free gaming experience,but can't see other people or vehicles.On "Medium" visual quality,the game lags so much... If "Low" is selected,everything goes black.Only the navigation and action buttons are shown.Have anyone faced it? Got any solution to play it well on xperia 2011 line ?

Actually I doubt it will be possible playing Gangstar Vegas on medium settings with our Devices without any lag using any Rom.
Gangstar is damn big and got High Quality Graphics, but we must face the fact that the time will come where our phone will be pushed to the limits and simply has not enough power to run the game...
At least I´m sure that you won´t be able to play it on Good Quality Graphics and witout lag on our phones. :silly:
For best gaming performance I recommend the new Atomic GB 8.0.
Thank you all for your suggestions...But have you tested the game on JB or GB ? And why the "Low" quality graphics is not available for us? I mean everything goes black if low is selected...Only option "Very Low" or 'Medium" are available for us...!!

so your settings and rom are the one you´ve put in signature?
I still doubt that it looks at any way equal to the screenshots gameloft released in terms of graphic.
I can´t even select *High Quality" in Gangstar Quality settings, that says it all, unfortunatly

No, for heavy games and to run them lagfree, are the same settings but with the difference of 1.5 GHz.
edit the file profile.bin in the folder Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftGGHM
like this
5 0 5 3 21
then launch the game,you can get the medium quality
If you want to use your phone for heavy gaming, I recommend you to use a GB based ROM like Atomic GB (best for UI) or XGAMER (best for performance) with a custom kernel like LupusGB or DooMKerneL ! Don't install RAM consuming apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. and keep your phone light ! If it continues to lag, try to overclock your phone (but it can be dangerous !) ! That's all folks !

yeah im running it on my Arc S without any lag on medium With 1.5GHz / ondemand / deadline....
see my signature
I don't get this,ok i get that lt18i is a bit faster than lt15i but with overclocking it can get there.
But i tried Ultimate HD and i tried Racing Bean 3.1 but non of these ROM's don't work with heavy games,GTA3 lags,Wild Blood multiplayer unplayable.gangsta rio lags like hell.And my RAM can't get higher than 200 mb and that's in his best days i mean if i have just maybe 10 apps installed.It's stupid to say that ICS/JB is better than GB in gaming,yes it's true ICS/JB looks so perfect and beautiful but now we have GB ROM's that looks like ICS or JB,here i'm using one it's called Atomic GB 8 and i can get 240mb Ram when i stop apps that are running,that's grate,and when i restart my phone and stop apps i can get up to 250-260 mb,and in combo with DooMKernel v22 ICS/JB don't stand a chance,the ROM doesn't look so much like ICS but it's getting there,if you want Jelly Bean look,there is Gin2JellyBean,but didn't try that ROM myself so i don't know what to tell about it.I didn't try this game yet on my Arc lt15i with Atomic GB 8 ROM but i will.I don't have very big hopes for it but hey...

[Q] [ION] Many problem in the new JB

Hey Guy
My xperia Ion was very smooth with ICS few days ago, but when i upgrade it to JB (i have been waiting it for a long time), it's getting lagger and lagger like below:
- APP DRAW : very lag, not smooth like ISC FW, what is the thing in JB called "Project butter"? I heard that it make android smooth as much as IOS. But i dont see this on JB Xperia ION, this is so disappointing.
- FACEBOOK, CHROME ... APP: disappointing again. They're so lag that i have to uninstall them immediately.
- WALKMAN: What happen with my favorite music player, the quanlity of music is getting so bad.
- CAMERA: capture movie add the highest resolution (Full HD) is getting lag, it dont happen in ICS FM
Please give me some solution to bring back the smooth i have had on ISC FW to the new JB FW on my ION
Thank a lot guy

The Project Button was a project to try to bring smoothness to the whole UI. It doesn't promise a lag-free experience. Did you made a clean or dirty install? Facebook app has been getting faster and faster with each update. Chrome is really slow because it was built based on PC's version, not a Android app. Also, you have a 2010 processor in your phone. It isn't one of the best. Walkman in JB is 10x better, sound quality wise, for me... Camera problem is because Sony implemented some new drivers that aren't really compatible with our processor, so it lags a bit...
Android JB in Xperia Ion is Awesome
I flashed Android JB in My Xperia Ion few days ago. It's really cool update. I installed PowerAmp for Music and it's the Best. Walkman is also good. But can't compare with PowerAmp. I haven't face any issue with Camera. Apps are working very fine (No crashing so far.) I tested Asphalt 7 Heat and It's Great. (No Lagging/No Crash).
Pros:
+ Better User Experience :highfive:
+ No compatibility issues (Perhaps I installed all apps which I had in ICS.)
+ SenseMe Slideshow in Albums app (I like it very much. :victory: )
+ Improved Notifications Bar
+ Customizable Wall/Screens (Can add/delete any no of walls which is not possible in ICS)
+ Familiar widgets
Cons:
- Booting time is more when compare with ICS. (It's not a Big Deal. I don't restart my phone every day. Who does?! :angel: )
- Can't Root the OS. (ICS was Rootable easily. Waiting for Firmwares from XdaDevelopers. )
- Can't uninstall/remove apps from Menu itself. (ICS has Blocks icon on top right which enables to delete user installed apps.) It's not a Big deal, I can uninstall via Settings -> Apps.
- Not able to find Direct call Contacts Widget.
I suggest to Flash Android JB on your Ion. :highfive:
Well, it can be done [root]
