[Q] custom roms and rockplayer h/w accel - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I'd like to install a custom rom on my mt4g that also supports hardware acceleration in rockplayer. All the roms I've tried don't seem to support it and I'm not really a fan of overclocking due to the decrease in battery charge/life. Anyone got any recommendations?

[Q] Rooted OTA froyo or CyanogenMod 6.1.0?

Iam currently on the rooted froyo OTA, but iam not satisfied! so thinking of flashing CyanogenMod 6.1.0!
will there be a difference in performance?
what are the known bugs for CyanogenMod 6.1.0?
and can you suggest a flashing method by which i dont loose my apps?
Cyanogenmod will be faster because JIT is enabled. The only known bug afaik is the lack of video recording. Use Titanium Backup to back up your apps first
Yea, so how do I fix the video recording issue? And other than that will the overclocking kernels work or is it overclocked by default?

As of yet there is no way to get it working. However, I think it is worth a try unless recording video is a major feature of your phone.

*** nandroid backup first ***
Well video recording isnt a major component, but you never know when you might need it! so i repeat, is there absolutely no way of video recording??
and if the answer is still no, then any other jit enabled stable ROM you could recommend?
Another feature you'll lose is FM radio. That said, CM is pretty sweet and definitely worth trying if you haven't.
FM radio doesnt hold much significance to me, but video recording does!
How is openfire compared to CyanogenMod 6.1.0??

BUMP!!!!!!!
Why dont you flash and look for it yourself? Preference to ROM's is a very personal thing.
Go for OpenFire is the Fastest one, but you have to mod it as you want.

Q: Rooted phone. Now what?

Okay, so I rooted my phone and updated to the latest SprintLovers ROM. It's nice but, I would like a nice non-senseui ROM. Either that, or a FAST senseui ROM. I think it just slows down my phone. I purchased ADW Launcher-EX for my rooted Nook and would like to find a ROM that I could possibly use that on. The best solution would be a ROM that maybe has sense but allows it to be deselected. With most sense based ROMs, sense stays running in the background even if you use something else.
Also, I would like to try overclocking my phone. I see some of the kernels in the wiki but, how so I flash? I currently use AR recovery but, I would prefer to use Clockworks for Rom Manager (since it is required). I purchased the license for Rom Manager but, it just errors.
Also, what are other good tools to use. I purchased SetCPU and ROM Manager. Are there other tools for rooted phones that are as important as those two?
Please forgive the noob style questions. I finally decided to root my phone even though I got it the day they were released. I am trying to get a little more life out of it, while I wait for Sprint to releaser the "next best thing".
IMHO CM7 nighties is by far the best no sense rom
CM6 is a stable release but CM7 (to me) kicks azz --- check it out & enjoy
Tools... everybody has what they like best. I can say as a 2 month (or so) rooted evo owner. Trial and error is the best way to learn. After that, everything you read starts to make sense!
you can always find help in the forums if somthing goes wrong
I personally like the Azreal X 4.0 rom which is a sprint like sense rom. and the SBC kernel. Which allows for over clocking. Look at my signature and search in xda for download.
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It's got the performance of CM, without the blandness.

I was watching the video on that one. Will it take any kernel or do you have to use the one in the ROM?

I found the kernel but there is a HAVS and non-HAVS version. What is that?
I also found a ROM called Warm TwoPointTwo. Have you tried that one? It looks rather popular.

It requires AOSP kernels, like any AOSP ROM. The one that it comes with is pretty damn good though, I have found no reason to use any other one. It's stable, I have had ZERO reboots, and fast as hell. 1700+ quadrant scores with no overclocking.

I went to the download like and they said something about the cameras. Are they working in 1.2.4?
I'm on 1.1.28 and my camera works fine. I have never had any camera issues with any of the builds that I've tried. I have an older 003 evo though, I'm not sure about 004s.
I've tried Cm7 and 6 and to me 6 is quicker and more stable. Paired with savaged kernel v5 and you can't go wrong

I tried it. My quadrant score was only 1100 with it. I noticed that the kernel was overclocked in it but, setcpu was set to 1Ghz from my titanium backup. Maybe that's why. I didn't like the iPhone look-and-feel of it though. I went to warm twopoint and like it. I may play around with this one for a while.

Htc HD2: Best phone ever

A few days ago I was looking a some older threads some 2 year olds and they were thinking of how to port android on it. And now our HD2 has been able to run android 4 on it. I think it was my lucky day I bought this device. Its one of the best devices ever made.
I am able to play GTA3 flawlessly on it which todays high end devices do.
HTC should really bring out HTC HD3 . Successor to one of the best phone ever
True. I bought hd2 abt a year ago, and lost it. And I was about to buy a new phone, but wen I started thinking abt which phone to buy, I got so confused that I just bought a hd2 once again, no one can replace it.

Depends on ROM and configurations.
In the past the same models phone was the same for everyone, but today the same models are completely different, thanks to their strong software customization

It's a great phone for then and even now as an introduction but it's screen lacks colours and cpu/gpu are getting dated.
Mind you I still have 2 Hd2's and now exclusively use a Galaxy S which at 4"" is peeeeeeeeeeeeerfect for me especially with CM7 installed....one hand perfecto operation with swype....
Once you go amoled you see perfect blacks...
hTc seriously stuffed up with the models introduced after the HD2. There has not been one model that surpasses the legendary HD2 and that's saying a lot. Maybe next year hTc will get it right..maybe...

BULLSH1T!
I tried loads of roms and configs to get GTA3 working and nothing worked, Just kept getting lags and closes.
If you deny its a lie what rom/config you using?
GTA is working fine on the rom i got... games get at least +10fps on HWA.
Yes GTA 3 works perfectly. Try tytung or Xylographs HWA ROMS . Gettinh 45+ fps in it . Plus the battery drain is also so good. Try those roms
And yes no customizations whatever its running fast without any lags with stock in those rom
And sorry I wrote that I played that game,
. No I seldom play games but it runs flwlessly in those rom I know that

There is no BS, works fine for me as well but with bit lower settings on graphics part.
perfect blacks ? try comparing whites and tell me. so how is the backlight leaks ? how is the plastic body ? how is gps ? Don't just compare things where the other contender might excel.

Not entirely true. Even with full HWA, you need to decrease the game's distant of view, visual FX, this & that to get it working without lag. Out of the box, it is laggy.

No, With hardware accelaration you can play it without any modifications. With dorimanxs rom it needed some modification to be playable but that wasnt HWA

Post a video to prove it doesn't. I don't believe your claims at all. My tweaked DS with a Second Gen S2 CPU and 768mb RAM still lags. How can your S1 still be smooth?

Its not. I'm using a heavily tweaked ROM on my phone, (tested different types) these ROMs are greatly optimized by legendary devs. I'm using CM7/Sense etc etc, all have the same result.
I don't think this is possible for the HD2
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Okay . Ill post a make a video soon. For this Ill have to flash another ROM . I have only one HD2. I ll post a video soon. Wait.
P.S The HD2 is running adreno 200 for which it is impossible to play GTA3. plus only 1ghz processor against DUAL-CORES. Ill post a video soon just let me get done with this ROM.
I think well have a master piece as soon as Dorimanx gets to ICS HWA. He did it with GB. Lets see what monster he will create now.

Arrogance and ignorance, have you tweaked kgsl ? have you tweaked pmem ? have you tweaked ashmem ? have you tweaked binder ? have you tweaked mm ? is the kernel using latest drivers from qualcomm/caf ?
Saga kernel is not even using 3.x kgsl, on leo which is using A MUCH older kernel, we have kgsl 3.8, so stop giving random excuses for the failure on your part.
Have you even tried playing GTA 3 on a hd2 with ics ? probably not (you don't even own one according to your sig).

Hello,
I sincerely apologize for my posts yesterday, they are rude and arrogant. I shouldn't even be in this forum.
I'm just puzzled to how GTA runs flawlessly on this phone? I have seen MANY videos on YouTube of GTA and from what I can tell, it doesn't look too impressive...
No, I never said I tweaked the ROM. I'm saying the ROMs I've used have been tweaked for performance by devs which might even have the tweaks you mentioned? We have devs like the Virtuous Team, MDJ, Capychimp etc.
Anyway, looking forward to the video.
Peace

There you go, was kinda hard controlling stuff with one finger and all the while doing it through the camera's viewfinder. Just installed the game and started a new story, So no game *tweaks* etc applied, graphics were the default settings from the game. The phone is not overclocked.
I am already working on kgsl-3d0 v3.9 so we should see another performance bump soon
Battery is awesome too, 25 hours and still at 56% battery with no airplane mode, data on throughout, Wifi for ~12 hours.

[Q] HWA, When is it supported?

Well as we all know the new adreno drivers are now available in the ics 4.0 roms, but today I saw this rom with sense 3.5 WITH HWA, but is this actually supported?
Well, I think mwakious got it working. Haven't really tested it out myself but people claim it's faster.

Thats what I am thinking too. The performance seems equal to other roms. I might check it out today. Also the HWA on ICS is pretty fast!
Rick in gingerbread sense roms, adobe flash player works better than any other rom i`ve used. This is because of better video decoding and not because of better implementent for hwa,right? Do you think we have any hope to have better video decoding in ics?

It would be very interesting which Custom-ROM you are using as daily driver and why.
By the way: I know some of the poll-options are outdated - I hope I didn't forget any ROMs.
