Hey, i just want to make this quick. I am trying to build a ROM here for X8, and one thing that makes me really think is whether to make it faster or look nicer. The basic is simple, it's just like in PC, you want performance, sacrifice the looks, you want nice screen, you sacrifice speed. Well, everybody know our X8 is not so fast there, that's i wanted to know whether you guys like performance or graphic quality?
Just answer the poll above. Thanks
Regards,
aldee_s
Thanks for the voter
Many people appreciate a ROM that is fast, but also visually appealing, it's a very hard mix to get right, i myself am very minimalistic with my phone, anything unnecessary is uninstalled from my phone, i.e. maps, sound recorder etc. i never have games installed on my phone.
Beans.
for me,performance is on the first place.
but it'ill be better that we can set it up on the phone.
like a configuration menu to set between appereance and performance.
so we can choose it by our demand.
Fast.

i need GDX with some improvement
i dont need more features, just need V10 all feature with fine work and smooth.. thths all
@beans
yes, its very hard, and im here trying to find the best setting, and maybe i could release rom with different configuration, but maximizing performance while retains good graphic is pretty hard.
@xcal
yeah, that is very confienient, but currently if you want it like that, you can use dithering feature, but the graphic wouldn't be as good as if we use maximum graphic configuration when we build the rom
@nigi
thanks
@ithunter
well, you can ask doixanh for it. i think doixanh rom is good enough, i score 409 in Quadrant (3D Test). while my built ROM is 403, not so far i guess, and my rom is using quality setting.
EDIT= oops, sorry, it seems my rom is configured with performance setting
i like fast ROM
i prefer fast rom, as customizing can be done by myself

no, the graphic quality that i mean is the color that is displayed on the screen, currently, the ROMs out there is only using 16 bit color, even though our phone is capable showing 24 bit color.
I don't think that our phone display is capable of 24bpp. Look at surface flinger and its display hardware component. They use color depth information from the kernel's MSM framebuffer driver, not fix at 16bpp.
I think X8 screen is able to deal with 16bpp only.
really? but the datasheet that i found, X8 is using 16.7 million color display? isn't that 24/32 bpp?
EDIT= is there any way i can test colour banding in Eclair? well, in gingerbread its very easy, just look into Theme Chooser, and if we didn't use dithering, the colour banding is obvious.
EDIT2= dx, i just build the ROM with BOARD_NO_RGBX_8888 and that 16BPPSurface is disabled (commented), and i saw difference in color showed in my screen, really, even though i have partial colour blind, i still can find the difference.
EDIT3= the scrolling seems smoother, well the ROMs i use so far if the background color when you scroll is black, the text will become blurry when i scroll it, but now the blur is reasonable. or maybe its just my phone?
EDIT4= ah men, it makes the screen-off animation really slow, do you know what caused it? does using 32BPP is really have that much impact?
Ginger Dx is balanced... Its fast and it looks nice with sense 3.
Im prefer FAST Roms
it may start another war here but stock rom is by far the best as long as speed and appearence concerned for x8..
what do you mean by war?
the new stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0) sucks at 3D, even though the 2D score is better, its still very inconvinient to play HD games on those stock ROM. Also, the stock ROM doesn't have Electron Beam (Screen on/off) animation. I think some people like Gingerbread because of that feature, even dx likes it (stated in froyobread thread)
it seems my eyes is the problem, but there is a performance drop when i try to use 32 bpp.
fast. btw r u building CM7(Gingerbread)?
Fast ROM.

There is a BIG performance drop when you use 32bpp over 16bpp. My eyes easily catch the fps difference. Your eyes are not having problem
Hi, I found a mod that works really well! On XDA, search for "ABS, performance mod", No quotes. I have an xt1526, and since flashing it, my device is doing much better. All you have to do is flash it, and run the desired commands in terminal on your phone. It really does work, and blows a lot of mods out of the water! Try it and see!
tried this and noticed big improvement instantly.
i'm on pacman rom 1025 (latest) + squid 10d
thanks for this advice!

I'm going to try both. Thanks for sharing.
The OPX is my daily driver (for now) and photography is a HUGE part of my life. Most stable custom ROMs do have more features than the stock, but the camera app functionality and interface will never compare to the stock software. The 2 main features I use are slo-mo and manual mode. So why don't I use OOS 2.x.x? Simple, the community build based on marshmallow has massive performance fixes (especially concerning the GPU and gaming). If the camera isn't a big deal for you than go ahead and flash a custom ROM, this will add more features to your device and the cost of a great camera app. But I definitely suggest upgrading to a marshmallow or nougat based ROM (my personal favourites are CM and PA, they have many features and are pretty stable) due to the poor performance of the GPU on OOS 2.X.X.
let me know you opinions on software concerning the OPX below?
whats the point?
Anyway i find sultans HAL combined with snapdragon interface better.

Ok.. So why not do both. Use a custom ROM and flash oos 3 camera zip. So now you have best ROM and best camera app. That is what I do.

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback? (camera seems a little buggy tho?)
The problem with the camera isn't the app it's self. It's the photo quality. Sultan hal uses higher iso settings to eliminate low fps during photo capturing, thus creating to much noise in the picture. That's why you can't get best of both. Furthermore that in latest OOS cam the video recording fps is normal now on, there is no need for me to change in any custom rom. ( by the time these lines are written of course, because no one knows what are talented and really hard working custom roms developers will bring us in the future)
Ps: of course I have test for long periods purity, sultan cm13, caf RR, and official cm13 in order to have a reference point.

Yes, I agree. But the interface on OOS is much more user friendly in my opinion than any STABLE custom rom out there. Sultan hal is much more complicated for the “simple everyday OnePlus user". The most noticeable downside between the two is trying to record slo mo on any custom ROM. There would be too much zoom, too much noise and it was hard to make it play in slo mo. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.?

I need your best advise and/or suggestions. I've been a fan of custom ROMs and switching from Touchwiz Nougat (e.g. Nemesis Reborn) to Lineage OS to stock G900F firmware seems to be what I always do (am I the only one who does this?). I am undecided as to which software should I use as my daily driver. These ROMs are great and have their own pros and cons, but I've been annoyed of the fact that I keep switching ROMs which is somehow a waste of time and could even mess up my device in the future.
Touchwiz: The ultimate deciding factor for me is the stock S5 camera app. If you can find similar camera app on the Google Play Store that gives almost the same results let me know.

Footej Camera has a great user interface but the quality of the photo it produces is not that good; noise, grain, blur -- those stuff. Also, it has no real FAST auto-focus. Essentialy, it just focuses continuously, but it does not really detect objects whether they are near or far. If it ever focuses into something, it's not that accurate, it's blurred.
The stock S5 camera app is not perfect, it does not have manual settings, but among all the camera apps for the S5, it is the best. That's why I'm sticking with a Touchwiz-based ROM.

hard decision. Stock touchwiz for better gaming performance and better camera (especially during low light and focus). Lineage os if you want a smooth ui experience and nougat features...

Exactly! ???
Touchwiz. Working smooth
I personally use an AOSP ROM (RR 5.8.2) for my Galaxy S5 (klte). I don't use the camera too often. Plus, the camera quality isn't as bad compared to stock ROM. As for gaming, I don't play games anymore on my phone since the top grossing Android games would force you to spend money to progress (usually) which isn't good. I just want my phone to look like how I want and experience smooth Android experience. But your mileage may vary.
Lineage Based:
-Better performance
-Touchwiz lacks the customization options I want
-Touchwiz feels bloated to me even with the debloated Note 7 or A7 firmware
-Latest version of Android
-The features in Touchwiz aren't very practical (I set up the edge panels and then proceeded to never use them, AOD drains the battery)
-Can have better battery life depending on which ROM / Kernel are used
-I have been happy with the quality from Open Camera
-The Lineage stock apps (other than file manager) are awesome

Thanks bro. I've decided to use lineage because of the same reasons.
Open camera has the same functions as stock sansung camera?
Blur background, etc ?
What customization are you using in lineage?
What kernel is good ? I have on stock lineage

No camera has the same features as stock Samsung camera.
Open Camera is the only 1 I have found that (IMO) takes similar quality photos and has good hdr plus many manual settings. It is also very stable.
I have been trying many different kernels lately:
Smartpack lite - was not happy with the battery life even though it is supposed to be a battery oriented kernel
Boeffla venom - have been using yankactive governor for a day and preliminary results are very good. Will be trying impulse and ondemandplus also.

TouchWiz is one of the most modified and conceivably heavy Stock Roms of native android between companies, but its interface is very flashy and intuitive, and the system is very sophisticated, giving an impression of exclusivity.
On the other hand, Lineage OS gets closer to pure Android, has a simpler, lightweight and stable interface, greater compatibility with third-party apps and greater flexibility to system modifications.
Note: Samsung's "Camera" app for example is much higher compared to the same "Camera" app available in Lineage OS, after all, the original app was designed for the original rom itself. If you decide to install Lineage OS, you can choose to use the "Cameringo" app available in the "Play Store", it's the best non-native camera app I know, but it's paid.
Recommendation: Keep using the latest official Stock Rom version available for your device. Only install Custom Roms (like Lineage OS) from android versions that are not officially available for your device model.
Its quite confusing to choose a android pie custom rom. Can you guys please preffer any custom rom. Which is a daily driver. My main prefference is good camera and good sound quality.
My daily driver is:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/codename-phoenix-oneplus-5t-rom-t3733717
since OnePlus still support this phone, and you want a good camera and sound quality, here the best way :
- Original latest OOS ROM
- Rooted with magisk
- Sound : Viper4droid module with a sony convolver
- Camera : OOS camera app and/or Pixel3 google camera apk. Photo edit with snapseed.
- battery : Franco Kernel with FK manager (reduce cpu 25%). Substantrum with swiftblack theme.
