Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This ROM features a completely new way of Overclocking and managing screen states.
The History
But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.
There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".
That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.
This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.
The solutions so far were:
App like SetCPU, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles
integrated solutions in the govenor itself
Both these solutions have major problems.
The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.
The second solution is the smartass govenor. It has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.
This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.
Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.
State-of-the-art-solution
So we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.
He wrote a native C Daemon which changes the govenors instantly without any lag.
This leads to major performance improvements right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.
But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a GUI for this, so you get the same comfort as using SetCPU.
Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.
Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.
How to adjust the daemon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.
There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.
You can easily edit these files eg. with RootExplorer or any other app which can edit system files. So you can adjust the frequencies and the govenor for each state just like with SetCPU.
In order to get the available frequencies for the current kernel, just open your favorite terminal app and type
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
You could also use adb shell to show the frequencies on your computer.
To get the available govenors use a similar approach:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
Please make sure, you are entering the right values in the daemon's config files.​

deejay, not to question your motives, nor your talent, because you churn out more ROMS than any other dev on the A500 forums, but whatever possessed you to port the Thrive over to the A500?!?!?
I had this tablet for three days last week before taking it back for a full refund.
The initial build had the "infamous" sleep bug built in right from the factory. Toshiba was aware of it, and as of last week were supposedly working hard to correct it.
It has a very nice stock video player in it, but other than that, IMHO the rom was horrid!
Knowing you, you've probably already worked the sleep bug out of it, even though the devs at Toshiba couldn't lol!

Wow! That was quick
Will be havin' a go on this
MJ-12

How come no other responses? This is either brand spankin new or after they run it it killed everyone!
PS. Just got home and found 1.1.1 of Xoom at 4% (from 85%) last night. It said Android took 54% and 19 hours of the battery.

lol You might want to give Toshiba a call, and give them some help then!

d/l now. I'll let you know how it compares to the actual ROM the thrive came with in a bit

im a little confused though- aside from an equalizer, what does this have to offer? And what are the possibilities of a super rom? As in all of the best features of all of your Roms in one?

1st little bug, stock file explorer doesn't see the external sd card. Notification in the lower right tray shows up as "sd card inserted", but the icons at the top of the stock file explorer do not respond to the external sd card. root explorer finds it in "storage" just fine though.
Have to format, wipe and reinstall with my "browser.apk" so I don't have to keep setting ua string.
bbl with more after re-install.

Ok here we go. Video playback on YouTube is the best so far on any ROM. All audio levels are great. I injected the browser.apk from your VP ROM, and no longer have to worry about UA string.
USB drive does not work at all. No notification, can't even see it in root explorer. The notification in tray for SD card states "SD Card Inserted", but when trying to view it in the stock file explorer, when you click on the SD card Icon (upper left), you get error "SD Card is not inserted", even though notification icon shows as being inserted. I can however go into Root Explorer, and R/W the sd card under "storage".
Going to play some more, just wanted to give you the few major bugs thus far. Great job on the first port!

m-deejay,
Why do all the roms try to load handcent at the begining? do you have them all linked back to your phone?

sd card don't work as well don't read music on it in media player

m-deejay how many tablet you have ????
when I see your release loooooks so easy to make a rom hahaha...
but I know it is not easy..
good job..
what's next ?
Virtuous Galaxoomthrissus ?
Virtous PLAYBOOK !!!! Pleasse

I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing that isn't very likely until source for Honeycomb is available (or ICS, as it may be by then)

Music keeps ghost playing from Toshiba music app. Also storage space is way off. Says I have almost 8gb of app but still have 12gb free???

Lol mine says "Total Space 14.91Gb"...."Available 22.75Gb"
Apparently I have more than 10Gb Available than the total space of the drive!
I wouldn't worry about the initial bugs, as deejay will have them ironed out pretty quick. I'll have to say that this is the best initial release you've put out so far, or anyone else for that matter! +100,000

More CrAzInEsS! Went into my external SD card to copy my gps.conf file for my country over to the etc directory, opened it up as text, and it appears blank (nothing at all in the file). When I bring that same file back to my laptop and open it, I has all the information in it that should be there.
While I'm no DEV, there is clearly something wonky (technical term few of you will understand lol) about the way this ROM is reading, or failing to read the SD card.

I can't wait to see this rom grow. I could really use that cool galaxy clock and weather widget. I'm also missing the screen shot button which was really nifty. Keyboard is really laggy for me.
Nice initial release. Can't wait for more.

[How To] Increase Performance on the Touchpad

All credits to the original author. I'm just sharing what I found.
Instructions: (by James Kendrick at ZDNET)
Extracted Quote:
Open the Phone and Video Calls app in the Apps tab on the launcher screen. Once in the app select the DialPad tab and enter the following in the dialer like you would on a phone:
##LOGS# (##5647#)
Hit the green Dial button.
On the subsequent Collect Logs screen, select Change Logging Levels
Hit the Set Logging To Minimal and confirm
Your TouchPad just got a lot more responsive as HP took the tech support approach to log virtually everything behind the scenes to make debugging things easier should things go wrong. There is so much event logging in the background that it seriously impacts the TouchPad’s performance, as it is constantly doing things it doesn’t need to do. The setting you just changed reduces the amount of logging that is going on.
______________________________________________________________
NOTE: You can further enhance the performance on the Touchpad by installing a few patches on Preware. Instructions to install Preware [Here]:

Thanks, I correctly-clocked* my touchpad to 1.5GHz and made some other small tweaks, and it is always hard to tell for sure but changing the excessive logging seems to have made a perceptible improvement
*I don't want to say OC because 1.5 is the suggested speed, HP was just trying to save some power. I don't want to scare off people who typically don't overclock (like me) because the 1.5 clock speed really is worthwhile and as safe a mod as they get.

I didn't realize that some of this tweaks are mentioned in the OC thread under the General section. . I'm not a fan of over clocking unless I really have to. I find that after these tweaks acceptable in terms of performance as compared to the performance out of the box.

Here's a good guide I wrote up: http://briefmobile.com/speed-up-the-hp-touchpad
Basically walks you through patches and overclock. Really smooth after all that is done.

Posting for the trail. Thanks for this.

I installed the 1.5 overclocking method, and I went to get my touchpad off of the touchstone and it was very very hot. Removed the uberkernel and it was fine. Any ideas?

Done all of the above except the missing "DialPad tab", so I couldn't change to minimal logging. I've the 32GB model.
BTW, your instructions there has an error on the dev code mode, the numbers provided is wrong. It should be 20060909 instead of 20090606. Confirmed from the image provided.

You wont see a dial pad until you have either connected the tablet to a phone via bluetooth, or logged into skype.

FYI, some folks (myself included as of this morning) have unexpectedly starting having an "Unable to download email" error after applying the Muffle System Logging patch. If you search, most folks say you have to do a full reset. However, I just found the following fix that doesn't require a reset:

[Rom Dump] N7000XXLSA (4.1.2) BUG POOL / REPORTS

Please be concise! Only bug reports of the pre-"official" Samsung XXLSA ROM Leak, or Samsung issued updates!.
I will add up (e.g. bug x #4 ) and list all bugs reported here. No one did so far, despite probably a disproportionate number of people using this ROM as opposed to non-Samsung baked ROMs.
High Mem Usage #5 (several reports on xda)
Camera Click is delayed ( very noticable when making shots with flash enabled)
Slow. AnTuTu reports a score of ca 8000 vs. 10.000 typical for Gingerbread
Disabling Energy Saving Mode, drops the AnTuTu score to ca 7000
When restarting movil during the activated (in the task bar) “Multi Window” option, the first time this option is not functional. Inactivate and Active! #1 (andres.gomez.pena)
normal Kies Air is not working (connecting) using XXLSA #3
Usb connection via MTP is buggy #1 (couldn't confirm Win7100)
homescreen speaks to you (TTS) sporadically #1 (the opening of voice commands may also be intentionally enabled through a tapping motion!)
Kernel is Speedlocked at 1000Mhz #1 (bloodyduke)
Cchoice for apps not always remembered. E.g. for launchers. #3
(1) Update:
The Kernel is configured as SMP Preempt. Priorization may differ in this build from previous Samsung ROMs.
It appears the slow down isn't due to rampant services at all, but the CPU mode being set to "on demand" by default and Speedlocked.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I apologize if my phrasing is a bit off - I am still in my early learning stages.
Battery life is great, as reported by many others!
(2) Update:
The Speedlock is due to the Battery Savings option, and actually not a bug, but working as it should.
It thus cannot explain why Antutu is even significantly slower when Battery Savings options are turned off.
(3) Update:
The OS occasionally closes or restarts applications in the background, which may entail additional CPU loads.
Be advised to turn off Multi-view from the notification bar, if not needed. Antutu went up 800 points from ~7200 to again 8000. Closing background, and halting monitoring apps - yielded me 8500 points in Antutu.

When I want to edit the preferences of the instant load in the Google+ app, it crashes.

After reset, picture frame widget is blank and you need to select the picture again.
After reset default programs ( for images, web links and whatever ) are forgotten and you need to select them again when you first open them.
Usb connection via MTP is buggy and does not show all the files in some directories.
Kies recognizes device but says firmware cannot be updated ( probably normal though because this is not official firmware )
Charging while using the phone is very slow
Confirming Google plus bug... I just uninstall that anyway...

Enabling an application in accessibility settings (e.g. NoLed or Llama) makes the homescreen speak to you (TTS) and the phone becomes incredibly laggy. Longer explanation here and another claim here.

Smart stay option in display does not work in lsa leaked . Problem is fixed in lsc leaked .

True. But I figured that the majority will toy with the leaked "official" ROM and either didn't or opted out of any OTA updates. The majority aren't testers but only install the official versions and might land here via google search. Yet as you said, it is a good idea to pool the more recent builds here as well to see if a potential bug is no longer reported.
To all: Please report XXLSB - XXLS? bugs here as well, along with the version you are using.
For instance this Rocketrom JB bake ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953847 ) is reported with the bug: "Zooming issue with VideoCam on 1080p-mode".
I checked this in XXLSA, and got an error message "Zooming is not supported while Recording FULL HD video". Seems OK and logical. I figure a lot has been fixed or improved in the leaked JB.
I ponder if the sluggishness and high Mem consumption is due to most applications being baked as debug versions? Can anyone confirm this theory? Much can also be explained via ( https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=SMP+PREEMPT ) - the KERNEL configuration of the leaked bake.

For me XLSA worked pretty good until it stopped. When I was listening to music on Poweramp using BT headphones phone freezed. After reboot it stuck on black splash screen GT-N7000. Nothing was working - nor nandroid backup helped nor wiping or even flashing XLSC. Had to do wipes using Abyss Kernel 4.2 Red Pill. After that I could flash or recover system from backup. All was back to normal.

Bluetooth Headset doesn't beep after call ends
Here is another bug that I discovered.
When I am using my bluetooth headset, when the call ends I don't hear the BEEP in the headset that indicates that the call has ended.
In 4.04 when the call ended I would here a BEEP in my headset.

Others have gotten updates through the official channel - (Phone Status -> Update) e.g. in Singapore. You could try and VPN connect your phone to an Asian server/ISP.

1. Lags: Even with ultra clean instal. Removing some apps makes it better. But not that much.
2. Butter is more like lumpy grease. Same experience as compared to gb on gs2, now jb on note compared to nexus. Experience not on same smoothness level.
3. More black clipping then ever
4. Unstable, can sod permenantly.
5. Next to black clipping strange artifacts in screen. Rare issue
6. Regionalisation is more linked to simcard/network rather then csc or chosen countries. This makes it difficult to read disclaimers for the travelers amongst us. This for os, for samsung apps and for google play. Pretty silly move.
7. Apps dont remember their states ( e.g. browsers) This is inhibiting multitask experience. Apple can do this why not Android. Focus was on multitasking with release wasnt it?
8. Not all aps are aproachable through the multitasking bar
9. Ota changes check on root now
10. Messages in multitask mode from one app can block all others untill message is away
11. Spen becomes uncalibrated over time. Unforgivable for a spen phone
12. Nice toggles, brightness missing in stock version (60% sure of this)
13. Not as robust. A battery pull can make phone unbootable. Not foolproof.
14. Default choice for apps not always remembered. E.g. for launchers.
Rant rant, so on and so forth

I cannot confirm most of these. Performance issues, true. As for multitasking: The high memory consumption leads to forceful closure of apps. Apps must implement restoring routines. Never had any system crashes or artifacts ever - with pretty heavy testing.
If you have rooted the phone your bug reports aren't what others experience.
8. It was delivered and promoted as such. Probably for stability reasons. XDA users have broken that limitation (rooting required).
10- I checked this. Not the case. E.g. video player and gallery zooming. Depends on the application's routine to being put in the background.
11. Didn't experience that. The lack of calibration options bugs the hell out of me. Primitive y-offseting is provided through left /right handed settings. I found an app that allows Wacom digitizer calib. $$+ root. No way!
My mind was blown when I downloaded the Wacom Sketching app and experienced unparalleled Spen sensitivity.
13. Definitely not the case. I am usually too lazy to shut down.
14. Ack.

8 Would be nice if they showed an option to view all aps with a disclaimer, stability issues can arize. At own risk. If it cant harm the phone, why not .
10 we are using different apps. Probably different way of showing these prompts/status messages. So its not generically captured, my guess.
11 good tip on the app. Youre gonna love this one if it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027680
13 has been reported at least once, apart from my own experience
Other issues, some difficult to reproduce. That doesnt make them untrue.
I concurr, my setup in regards to stock is not 100% representative. But root cannot effect black clipping or strange artifacts. I think.
However this thread title is on rom dump, not the sammobile leaked rom(referred to as stock, which to my knowledge is not based on dump).

thanks for pointing this out. As I said, I did indeed not have any troubles with the pre-official XXLSA. Not even application crashes that I can remember, let alone system crashes - with heavy testing. Many initial bugs which turned out to be misinformation on my part.
My biggest gripes are high memory consumption, sluggishness - but I have no idea if this is normal. But there is certainly a strong argument why current phones have more RAM and more CPUs, GPUs.

Updated Common Plugin Cache to hopefully fix the few having problems.
Updated Metadata TheMovieDB plugin.
Beta 3.2
Removed build.prop check completely (Thanks kandilak).
Fixed some remote control key bindings on non-standard remotes (Thanks alexagr).
Updated SuperRepo.
Added Fanart Slideshow option to Screensavers.
Removed Language button from OSD keyboard. It will be back in Gotham.
Brought back OpenGL Spectrum Visualization as an option.
Beta 3.1
Fixed missing dependencies.
Updated Subtitles.
Beta 3
Here is a list of some of the changes since Beta 2.9.
Fusion, Xfinity and Mashup sources are included by default. SuperRepo also included.
1Channel, Much Movies HD and Youtube are preinstalled and configured. I have included my own proxy to get around the 1Channel block in the UK, just select it from the 1Channel settings if you need it.
Lyrics, Subtitles, XBMC Backup, Missing Movie Scanner and Key Editor are installed and configured.
Main screen now has the Karaoke option and also has the Karaoke plugin installed and set up.
Option to use MX Player as the playback device in context menu (Local and Streams only, SMB does not work)
Family screen will now have main menu plus 2 sub menus (Animation and HD Family) which will auto populate as you add your Movies. The main Family menu contains only Family and Animation Genres, the Animation sub menu contains only Animation Genre and the HD Family sub menu contains only HD films of Family and Animation Genres.
Videos will only show the needed sub menus as sources are added to the Library(Movies, TVShows, etc).
Pictures now has a Slideshow sub menu and links to the backgrounds folder as an example.
The default layouts of each Window have been altered to use what looks best in my own opinion. You can set what you want afterwards.
Music Playback will now animate fanart automatically once you have some.
New cache settings which hopefully will be more compatible for everyone.
Update all addons.
Various other tweaks and changes.
Beta 2
Ok, here we go. Quite a few fixes and I have not had time to fully test all of it.
Fixed remote control movement in on screen keyboard.
Fixed context menu on long click of mouse/airmouse.
Added Fusion and Xfinity.
Changed RssFeed to BBC World News.
Changed Icons.
Changed Music Wallpaper.
Added Keymap Editor to Programs.
Added advancedsettings for cache.
Updated all addons.
Various other bug fixes.
Beta 1
Hardware Decoding
Mouse wheel support
New Graphics (Not finished yet)
A fully customizable version of Confluence skin as default. All other skins removed. (If you want it faster then enable minimum spec option in skin settings)
Audio offset by 250 ms to fix audio lag.
SuperRepo Included.
All addons brought up to date.
Install Instructions
Just install it like any other APK now with whatever build.prop you like.
If 720P does not work for you then this is not meant for your hardware. It was tested on RockChip Devices but appears to work on a lot of others.
Launcher version is only for roms that don't have a system bar. Auto hide function in any rom hides everything except anything classed as a launcher so it will show system bar if used on a normal rom. You could always rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.old and it will remove the bar completely but I don't advise it unless you know what you are doing.
It takes a long time on first run (about 2 minutes) while it sets everything up. The screen will go black and then it will go thru a few backgrounds, Just wait it out. It will launch normally after the first time.
If you find that the Interface it too slow on your device then go to Skin Settings and under "General" click on "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings".

I've always been on xda mate and have my own roms released here. I just post on freaktab because that's where everyone is with these stick/box's. Xda is dead with these devices.
Glad you're enjoying it mate.

I have to say though Freaktab has a bit more freedom and tolerance level, you can get smashed up here in XDA for giving an opinion .
The sticks are going to be very Mainstream pretty soon, the Chinese manufacturers need standardize a bit and be more consistent and open. They fear being copied and yet all they do is copy around.
The overall "Android Stick Computers" may need a Freaktab moderator, that way no rights would be disturbed and a proper list of roms for devices would make it even in a single thread.

I've never been afraid to give my opinion
As for the copying going on I don't even take much notice of it. You have companies like Minix who are purposely going against GPL 2 and releasing custom versions of XBMC locked to their devices and wont supply the source code. They wouldn't get away with that on XDA for a second. The only thing I can do is inform people of their tactics and advise them against supporting them.

Problem on EVOLVEO Smart TV box Q4
Hi!
Yesterday evening i installed on my box the Beyond XBMC Beta 3.3.
On first run it seems all normaly. But if the startup process was finished and the menu appearing if i choose something the app goes black and nothing..
I waited 5 min and after i go back to home screen. try start again but only black screen.
After reboot i click on app icon it comes a black screen and immadietly close.
I can't start. Only after if i delete the user data and cache for application is possible to start again.
I try'd to "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings". One time i turned successfully this option, but after go back to menu frozen again...
Any idea?
Thankseter

I have absolutely no idea why it would do this for you. I have installed this on over 10 different bits of hardware and it worked on every one for me (except the amlogic playback but I knew that wouldn't work). There are loads of posts over on freaktab also and no one has brought up anything similar. The first install does take a long time and you have to wait it out but after that it should launch quick.
Lets try and find out what is different for you. What machine is it? What OS is it running? What chipset is it?

Now that should work for you perfect. It is basically the same device as most of mine.
Which beta did you download, the normal one or the launcher version?

Hi!
The normal version.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Hi people, I discovered this version a short time ago, and I've to say it's the best I had trying ever. I strongly recommend to all of you to try it.
But only have a doubt, I can't do the "extrafanart thing" work, I mean, while I am selecting a chapter in a TV show, show a slideshow of different fanarts... I look for in all the settings and not find how it works. Can anybody help me? I hope you can understand me... My English level is awful . Thank you all, and specially for the developer for such a great job!

Reply to myself...
I connected the ZERO Devices Z4C Quattro to the computer as Massive Storage, copied the APK directly by USB and installed successfully from there.

Nice version of xbmc and lets hope this fixes my py errors in some addons.

I don't know why the official gotham version isn't up to scratch, but mate, you saved the day! The entire purpose of my buying the MK908 was to get XBMC on it. When the videos started lagging with the official version, I thought my money and efforts were wasted. But YOU SAVED THE DAY!
Any ideo how to get the media center remote working with MK908.

Dolphin Gamecube and Wii emulator for android

Hi all,
Have been tinkering with this emu for a few years now, mostly on PC (which works amazingly well) zelda the windwaker, Mario kart double dash, smash brothers melee, to name but a few great titles all work perfectly on modest hardware
Anyway over the last year or so it's made its way to android, and although it's nowhere near perfect it's definitely coming along, I just wanted to start a thread in regards to it and what peoples experience with it has been..
The emulator runs ISO's from original games, for copyright reasons you should own the original so don't ask for or post places to get rom images here or the thread will be closed and that will be the end of that.
The aim of this thread is to get the most out of the emulator and to see what configurations work best with what games and if we can get anything close to 30fps, which in pc terms sounds horrible but on the gamecube it was definitely playable.. Also just bare in mind that this emulation is very demanding on any system so your battery is going to take a massive hit, also if throttling does kick in, you'll see a drop in performance.. With the right balance of settings and choice of game I believe we can get close to playable.
Has anyone tried the emu? Or have they had any experience with it on android? I know that with the shield it runs near perfect but that is simply due to the cpu /GPU being extremely powerful.
Heres a link to the emulator which is completely free as it's open source.
https://dolphin-emu.org/download
Again please don't link any rom files, any copyright violations will be frowned upon and the thread will be closed.
The emulator supports touch and controllers, multi player is possible and other than the frame rate not being so great with the game I've tried, the games themselves look great.
UPDATE! 04/01/17
Pre-requisites
Root Access
Phone running Android N (have tried this game on Marshmallow and it crashes on the first 3D scene)
A custom recovery capable of flashing files
A legitimate rom file of the game you want to play, for the purpose of this tutorial it's Zelda the windwaker for the gamecube
The ini files (available at the foot of this OP)
*Optional* A notepad editor for android should you want to edit the ini file yourselves.
Installation
To get the emulator to run Windwaker (only game i've fully been testing) at full speed, or extremely close to
Install the emulator from this link https://dolphin-emu.org/download open the emulator once to create the folders and files needed, then close it and clear recents.
So long as you own the original game and you have a copy of the it in a ROM / ISO format, have the ROM on your SD card or internal memory.
Attached is my ini config file for dolphin, download this and unzip it, then place this within: /storage/emulated/0/dolphin-emu/Config
Note* You will have to change your rom paths thereafter and once the change has been saved to the ini you will then see your games from then onwards, the ini contains my path and won't work with yours*
Clear recents and open up dolphin.
Once dolphin is open, check that your settings match what I have put on here, then once verified, click the folder icon on the right and then the plus button.
Find your ROM and open it, the initial boot should go to 50 - fps, Windwaker is a 30 fps game, the game once loaded and you're on onset island should be running at 25 - 30 frames per second.
Controls
From installing the emulator, the controls aren't set up, open any game and then pull down on the notification bar and a blue bar will appear with a menu (3 dots) click this then configure controls, move the buttons to represent the gamecube pad, if you have a BT pad then configure this prior to launching the game
Final notes
Bare in mind that this emulator is still in alpha stage and as such, certain things simply won't work, emulation takes a lot more grunt to get this to run anywhere near normal speed so i'm afraid you do have to take the rough with the smooth, new nightlies are released all the time with updated notes attached from the above download link, I'd advise uninstalling and then cleaning up folders from the phone and then importing the ini file over again for a clean install
If anyone finds any fixes, or compatible games they've tried or any tweaks they'd like to share, please do so, i'm bewildered that the gamecube has actually been emulated and to have it on your phone running close to perfect is nothing short of astounding.
Enjoy

Settings from options within the emulator which I've found to be the best for me.
Zelda gets around 20-25 (dips at times to around 15 but no lower)
MarioKart Double Dash
This game was a 60fps game, on a normal race it's too slow, on time trials however it's not too bad, average frames are around 30-40 fps.

Turn these on, just got a 10fps boost on double dash, very close to perfect.
Zelda does not have the same boost, in fact it dropped to 15fps..

Very nice to see this I'm gonna give it a go.
Could we set our phones to switch force gpu rendering or something along those lines to get better fps.

Sort of, open settings from your actual phone and turn on high performance, search within settings if you can't find it. Proper path is in settings, development, high performance...
I'm on the stock kernel but I'll be getting others today to see how they go. By all accounts android N works a lot better in terms of speed than MM.

Another thing which I've noticed is that if you're phone supports open gl es 3.0 then that makes a massive boost to cpu speed, seen a couple of videos showing zelda running at a near solid 30 fps, Afaik the lost of gl es 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 are announced yet our set of hardware doesn't support 3.0 unless it's backward compatible, it supports 3.2 or higher. I need to read more about it.. Not sure if it can be added etc, seems like driver support rather than a limitation of hardware.
Will keep looking.

Ok so cm 14 is not a good idea. Horrific frame rate, not even worth tweaking. Going back to venom

Just an FYI, not related to topic.
DO NOT FLASH A CM ROM IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN UN-ENCRYPTED, IT ENCRYPTS ON BOOT. Forcing you to then back up, format and then restore and then install your rom again.
If you're encrypted already then fair enough.
Nothing in the cm thread to tell you this it's just "Known"
Anyway, once I've got this up and running again I'll be going through several versions of dolphin and trying to see what yields the best results for Zelda and MarioKart.
Long day ahead of me
Also clean slate if you're on firmware but on N, flashing the same version as your firmware will not boot..awesome.
Guess I need to full update everything.

Reverted back to MM, none of the games run.

N is definitely majorly more optimizer than MM for this emulator.. Getting playable framerates now on zelda and MKDD.. Happy days.. A few iterations of this emu and it'll be running very well hopefully.

Version I'm getting the best frames with above settings is 5.0-1480

Been really tinkering with this emu.
Have tried every single combination of settings and in its current state with the newest version (v5.16XX)
Max I can get from onset Island (windwaker) is 15fps which will then fluctuate to 25 and will peak at the max of 30 fps but this is when it's not drawing the whole island, within buildings the fps maxes out immediately but having played this game all the way through I'm aware that more than half of the game is outdoors so 15-25 fps would not be acceptable.
Running MK double dash again, maxes out in certain areas, certainly not in grand prix races, just too much going on..
Need to find the cfg file and lower the resolution, perhaps disable sound, this will massively increase speed, it'll mean sub par resolution and no audio but it'll help with speed.

Cfg is here /sdcard/dolphin-emu/Config/Dolphin.ini
Can be edited with a note pad. If I manage to squeeze anything more out of it I'll upload it here.

After lowering the resolution all the way down to 160x200 I've managed to get a stable 20fps in most places on onset Island, occasionally dropping down to 17fps but quickly going back up.
Going to get another kernel to see if overclocking will give me a little more grunt. Can't find the audio so can't disable it and may not even stop it from emulating anyway, so would be pointless.

Grabbed elemental with an OS lets see what this bad boy can do. Not expecting any improvement on battery life but I'd love a flat 30 fps on the windwaker. Here goes.

Ok so Elemental X has been extremely helpful, I've managed to get a solid 25fps from the start of onset island, it's running near perfect.
Grabbed ElementalX and installed their CPU/GPU manager from the playstore.
On installation of the kernel I went with the overclocked settings on both little and big cores and the GPU, hasn't really hurt the battery in any way so i'm happy with that for daily use.
On the time I want to run windwaker do the following:
Open settings in elementalX
Change governor to elementalx and cycle to update open governor settings and turn them to activate on boot
Go to CPU options and make sure 1728 on little is set for max, 2265 is set for big, all cores on.
Do the same with GPU options and turn GPU boost to high.
Once done, click on the powerbar up the top of elemental and turn on performance mode
Kill all open apps then in the phones menu, open: settings / development options / High Performance Mode and turn it on.
Also make sure dolphin is not being optimised by checking the option within Apps / dolphin / Battery / Battery optimization / Off
Open the emulator (make sure nothing else is open) and run the game, if it fails, press back and re-run, frame rates should be massively improved.
Bare in mind that this will decimate your battery, and i'm not sure when but throttling will more than likely kick in at some point too.
I'll keep tweaking but this is the best i've seen so far by miles.

Throttled after about 25 minutes then rolled back down to 15-20 fps. Need to lower the oc so it lasts longer. If I can get an hour then that'd be perfect.

Ok so the GPU, high performance modes, not needed, simply install elemental (i've gone with the OC'd version, 1.7Ghz) and turn on high performance mode, this allows perfect gameplay in the vast majority of places on the windwaker.
Only problem is the throttling, so i'll try the lower clock speeds of 1.5Ghz and see how that pans out.

OK so played through for around 45 mins with GPU boost on high and high performance on ex kernel manager.. When I got to a large outdoor area the game slowed to about 17 fps. Christ, it's never going to be perfect on this device.

Do you have tried emulating Smash Bros. Melee? If it does I'm with you on the testing train :highfive:
