The best things about Android 3.1 - Xoom General

I figured this needs a new thread since the others have been derailed by people trying to update!
1) Speed, finally a speedup! The lockscreen is faster, switching apps is faster, the browser is faster (scrolling/zooming/flash video/scrolling with flash video open) , the launcher is faster... I could go on and on about how fast it is now.
2) Smooth 720p flash video playback
3) Mouse support, tried it out and it works great!
4) Joystick support is cool but no apps seem to support it yet, it doesn't show up as a general input device as I had hoped, you have to specifically program for the joystick api I believe.
5) Resizable widgets! Even this operation is silky smooth
6) Scrollable app switching

does it address the wifi driver leak? better yet, documentation or release notes on this update?

Nice post. Thanks for the information. I speak for nearly everyone who at this time hasn't received the update when I say I can't wait to get my hands on 3.1 on my rooted Xoom!
I, for one, am most excited about the following: resizable widgets, mouse support (btw - what kind of mouse are you using? bluetooth or usb/wired?), and most importantly the overall speed-up and bug fixes (such as smoother 720p video playback) across the entire Android Honeycomb OS.
Kudos to Google for knocking it out of the park with this one. Maybe nothing absolutely groundbreaking or super innovative, but all we really wanted anyway was a quality level of polish added to the amazing base OS we already had. That's what we're getting with 3.1. Yay.

There's documentation/changelog posted on the Android developer blog. Look it up. It lists every change in paragraph, essay form (instead of the usuall bullet point list associated with most changelogs).

how do you resize the Widgets? I've been trying this for an hour.
The quick launch controls for the browser have been updated as well. Very cool. You can scroll pages using the controls without having to scroll up the page.

It only works on list widgets, like the email and bookmark widgets. Hold down on the widget like you're going to move it and then set it back down.

For those who had tested 3.1 in their Xoom's, there is a improvement in 720p & 1080p video files?
I have the Asus Transformer and wondering about that stuff, since the Xoom owners are the first receiving 3.1

Any video hardware acceleration?

I don't think that's any different, but I've only tried non high profile video. Still can't play .avi natively.

Thanks. Did anyone notice the Google stock movie app is no longer installed?

I've always only had the gallery app to play movies. The movie rental program is called 'videos'
Edit: Speaking of which, the Videos app has a 'Personal Videos' tab, which shows all of your videos in a nicer display than the gallery app... nice!

sorry, meant the stock movie studio app. To edit videos. Wonder if this was changed for Google movies?

I noticed the broken shortcut for movie studio on the desktop but then opened the apps drawer and the icon there opened it right up. Take a look see if it works for you.

is portrait mode slow or is there a speed increase?
also has the auto rotate sped up?

If 720p YouTube videos are this smooth in the browser, I can't wait to get an overclock kernel on this thing!

Is there italian language in the 3.1 us rom?

uk release?
When is this hitting the uk? Mine isn't available yet.

I just got this bad-boy yesterday, I haven't even christened my own bathroom with it yet
I hear that. I went so far as to speak to the store manager at Best Buy here to ask if he could "special order" a Transformer for me. The distribution channel software they use doesn't even have the SKU in it yet. It's on their website, but not in their distro system. I was a sad panda.

I don't think the update would just fix all of our performance issues, but at least provide better compatibility. I think our future honeycomb updates (look at me being optimistic) will help with the chop.
Ya 720 looks about the same to me. Smooth but sometimes can stutter when there's a lot of variance in the shot.

This. I think they'll need to tap into the nvidia hardware more to enable better video performance. It's interesting to note that they added NEON support for CPUs that support it(ours doesn't afaik). How much those instructions will help I don't know.
Something to look forward to in flash 11.1 I'm sure...

No, I mean nvidia will have to work with the manufacturers to include better optimized kernel/user code for the tegra to take advantage of the dual core and the graphics hardware better. Hopefully nvidia has 3.1 as well and is adding their pieces to the pie as we speak.
a big drop in performance with flash 10.3
I
don't know if anyone sees the same, but for me, adobe flash 10.3 is a lot worse than 10.2.
I am in germany and looked videos on www.golem.de. With 10.2 there have been nearly smooth. Now with 10.3 they become a picture view, no longer video.
(Yes I compared the same videos, coding can't be different.)
I think they broke the nvidea integration and HC was not the focus of this update, but 10.2 was.
My recomandation:
So if you didn't update so far, don't do it!!!!

I have tried the site you mentioned...... no problems with 10.3! Maybe clear cache/data from your browser.
Installed successfully
You Tube and BBC iPlayer working beautifully with the updated Flash
Retested Flash 10.3; still not better
Hi again,
thanks for the tipps, tried them all.
I think it depends on the video itself.
For some odd reason, the videos in germany tends to be coded in a way, the new Flash 10.3 didn't like.
I mentioned before, all videos on Golem.de are worse, but also on spiegel.de.
I noticed a message box, saying, "This video is not optimized for mobile devices".
Never seen such a message in 10.2. Also on my HTC desire, the videos are worse, and see exactly the same behaviour.
I still see no advantages from 10.2 to 10.3. In 10.2 I never had such messages, and the videos where smooth as well. Now on a few webpages the videos are OK, but most are picture shows.
Is there anybody else how could confirm this? Can't belive I am the only one, seeing this performance drop on two different devices, and nobody else seeing this.
I read that flash10.3 is better with HC 3.1. So you see better performance?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
Flash 10.3 optimized for Android3.1
So far, Acer Iconia has only 3.0.1 HC installed, hopefully in June/Juli there would be an update.
I didn't see such an statement, do you have any reference?
Is there something in Xoom forums?

I have a Xoom running 3.2. Most of the changes are behind the curtain so you will not notice them in the UI. One change you will notice and use is the zoom feature for non-tablet apps that would appear small even in portrait mode. But when you stretch or fill screen, the sharpness goes away just as am image stretched would be. One thing it did do for my Xoom was enable the MicroSD card but read only. Even my Viewsonic GTab running 2.2 Froyo had read/write permissions on the MicroSD almost a year ago...
In a nutshell, the 3.2 update for the Xoom was about making the Xoom more stable and that it did, much like the 3.1 Build 8.4.4.11 follow-up update for the TF did. As far as new features we can see and play with, well I think we'll be waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0...

I believe that the 3.2 update brings some additional bugfixes that are very significant. Can you report on portrait scrolling between screens? The absolute worst flaw imho is the rendering when it portrait, its just damn ugly.

Smooth as butter on my Xoom swiping screens side to side in portrait mode. Checked it on my TF for you too and smooth as well. Some members have reported lag when turning the tab from landscape to portrait but that is the design not a bug. If it was instant, the screen would be changing every time you made any tilting movement. It has to be at a certain angle for 500ms or so...
Please could you report whether there is any 'judder' in pan shots using an H264 video in stock player?

Why not keep it there? {Rom} {GalnetMIUI 1.11.7} {ICS 4.0.1} {11-7-11}
Yes, just saw it.
This line will keep me away from it,
The bad news is that the MIUI ROM comes with heavy UI customization and it won’t let you enjoy the ICS UI novelties, but that’s not necessarily a bad news.

Well, MIUI is good, using ICS as base in MIUI is great but proper ICS on Galaxy S2 will be a whole new experience. Waiting for someone to port it to SGS2.

I just flashed this rom and I'm loving it. I've been using it for 2 hours and I love the MIUI features. It's like Cyanogenmod, but less nerdy and seems to offer better/more functionality.
What I love most is that the Flashlight will start from simply holding the 'Home' button at your lock screen.
Makes it super smooth to enable/disable flashlight, as it disables when you let go the home button.
If you don't like the MIUI launcher, use Go Launcher or some other instead.
I couldnt get used to the MIUI because it places all your apps on your homescreens. I'm sure you could get used to this, but I don't feel like it.
DEFINATELY TRY IT THOUGH! It's butter-smooth.
Just remember to make a Back-up of your current ROM using CWM
Usual stuff that have bugs/dont work:
1080p recording
Video playback (avi, mpg, mkv, etc)
This rom with ics theme and ics launcher will be sweet
downloading now =)
i am kinda addicted to cyanogen cause of the settings menu, but i think ill survive

But MIUI is based on Cyanogenmod correct?
If so, some files don't work. From my testing, x264 encoded files don't work, as do some files downloaded from Youtube.
For those that have installed, can you try using Tubemate to download the 1080p version of the Battlefield 3 launch trailer and see if it works? Thanks.
Giving it a go myself tomorrow morning. Gonna sleep now.

At least on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, it runs a little slower than I would like at high quality settings(1024 texsize = 15-30fps depending on preset). If you lower the texsize to 512 in settings (which is still pretty sharp), it helps a lot.
I am not sure why it runs slower on the Tegra 2, but I suspect its because the GeForce ULP is not a variant of the PowerVR GPU that most phones use and the OpenGL ES drivers don't like one or two calls I'm making.
I fully intend to get it buttery smooth on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, so you can buy this with confidence. If I am not able to make it 100% within a few weeks, I'll refund you
I plan on working on improving Tegra 2 performance over the next few days, so you should see improvement soon. I have not tried it on an Atrix, so for all I know, it could work better than my tablet.
awesome
so glad to see this finally made it to the market, there are some presets that seem to run smoother in androp, hopefully some shared knowledge will get that sorted out, already told the dev about it anyway, just had to post something cause I'm too much of a noob to figure out how to subscribe to this thread any other way :-/
Awesome I never thought I'd be able to have milkdrop in my pocket from when I started using it in winamp years ago. I'm also on an Atrix and am looking forward to improved Tegra 2 support. One problem though, Market complains that my device isn't compatible with the app. Any idea why? I'm running a CM7 nightly which is up to 2.3.7. Not sure what the other requirements of the manifest file are...

The market is strange. I don't understand how it decides who can install something. It says the Atrix is supported in the developer's console, so I'm not even sure where to look next.
It should be up on the Amazon market soon, although with their one week delay for updates, it will be out of date most of the time.
We released version 3.10 today, mostly centered around startup performance and stability. It helps a lot with the live wallapaper.

Yeah, I will be looking at the presets you poinetd out next week after the holidays. Performance stuff on that level erquires more concentration than I have available right now.
Looks to be running fairly well on the Atrix but seems to slow done a bit when there's a lot of lines drawn on the screen. Also tends to force close every now and then.
Running CM7 FYI.
BTW, is there a way to make this dependent on only media sound output rather than mic input?

We are working on allowing you to select only mic or audio input instead of the aut omode that projectM currently uses. Technically, projectM already supports thi feature, but we don't have a settings screen yet. I know, it sounds stupid. projectM is pretty boring with no sound input at all, so we made auto the defualt and figured we would add the option eventually for people like you who know what is going on. Expect it in a week or so.
As for the FC issue, can you give me any info? I would love to fix it for you.
We just released 3.13 to the Market. 3.11 and 3.12 were big crash fixers, 3.13 not so much.

I bought it the other day, and it runs pretty well on my Samsung Epic 4G.
And don't let the android market fool ya, it's android requirement is v2.3.3 not v2.3.7.

I just realized I am running one of your kernels on my Epic 4G. I didn't notice the nubecoder.com on the splash image previously. Great work!
Did not see this was out yet. Just bought it for my Nexus One. Keep up the great work
projectM is now availanle on the amazon appstore.
Unfortuneately, Amazon requires review every time an update is released so this is a very old build at this point. I have submitted a much newer one for review, but they are still reviewing it. Use the Google Market if yo ucan, as this one will always be 3-4 days behind as far as updates go.
Pretty soon 3.15 will be out with support for selecting just one preset in live wallpaper mode.
Bought the app from Android Market. Running Epic 4G Touch stock kernel, unNamed ROM. Now I can feel like xbmc is alive in my pocket. Thank You psperl.
Anyone want to test an Android 2.2 build for me? I tried it on a Samsung Intercept I just scooped up and it runs like trash. I am not sure if there is something wrong with porjectM or if this phone is just slow.

Finally bought your app
I tested it on my Nook Color and HD2 - a little sluggish @ 1024 texture size , better with 512
Can you add an optional FPS counter? and maybe a limiter also?
Also , any updates on the Widget option?

I am not sure the widget is possible. I've looked pretty hard.
I just completed some performance optimizations that I will be releasing tomorrow after I get home from work. I want to be around (and not asleep or at work) in case it blows up.
projectM already has a limiter set to 30fps. I just asked my co-developer to add a setting to change it. 30fps is the sweet spot because most MilkDrop presets were written with that speed in mind. I don't see why I couldn't add a display as well.
I tried to search more info on using opengl in widgets and it really seems impossible
But , I might found some interesting info - if you can look into it I'll be glad
ICS has introduced a new thing called TextureView
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/TextureView.html
I'm not a dev , but can this be used to "stream" the visualizations?
Code:
A TextureView can be used to display a content stream. Such a content stream can for instance be a video or an OpenGL scene. The content stream can come from the application's process as well as a remote process.
TextureView can only be used in a hardware accelerated window. When rendered in software, TextureView will draw nothing.
Also why some visuals looks different on pc? are there missing components?
BTW , love the new music controls! but it needs more work such as configurable/automatic opacity
can you can add the track name appearing on track change like milkdrop? if not a simple text on top would be great

New YouTube app full screen button missing when docked on TFs!

Hi,
So Google done gone and broke YouTube in the latest version. The full screen button is now gone when you dock your transformer (any version).
Perhaps someone has a link to the old version they can post....I stupidly had YouTube set to auto update.....
Plus I hate the new interface. It's like it was created for the mentally deficient and blind senior citizens....

YouTube Lags
Hi guys,
i have another problem with the new YouTube app but i didn't want to make a new thread.
Everytime i watch videos in higher quality and in the video are fast movements, it jumps forward for 1 or 2 seconds. I have the impression, that my transformer handles the video to slow, because if i watch films where is no real action, everything is fine.
I hope you understand me and sorry for my bad school english.
Edit: their is a problem with the framerate but i don't know what to do.

Lol yes. Unfortunately that is the case.
Same issue here, no full screen button when docked.
Simply resolved: Go to settings, apps, find the youtube app and uninstall updates. Older version looks MUCH nicer with that Wall!!
New version does show slight improvement in video playback speed though, although could be placebo...

Everything's working great now.
