[q] consistent fps?? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have finally found a great rom (pinnacle 1.2) after a string of good looking and poorly functioning roms [early apex releases(no offense, new apex is incredible)] or extremely ugly with fantastic functionality roms (fasty, again no offense, really.)
It seems I am closer and closer to my only fantasy with my Samsung SGH-I897 Captivate. I DESPERATELY WANT CONSISTENT AND HIGH FRAME RATE
Watsa's Pinnacle is sooooo close, but every now and then it slips up and gets real laggy. I flashed the tw 4.5 mod, and that made a big difference, but it seems the frame rate is low and speed is high (which is great) but it still doesn't cater to my true love and desire .
I have watched multiple reviews of other stock smart phones (ie Xperia Arc, Nexus S, etc...) and it seems that they don't have a problem OUT OF THE BOX with performance and frame rate. For us Captivate owners, however, we have to go on this big hunt for better performance because the stock rom runs like S--T (again, maybe it's me or just my phone.)
Maybe it's only me . Maybe I'm doing something wrong. So that's why I'm extending my hand to anyone who can help. I am looking for a consistently high frame rate for my phone with some solid performance. If anyone can show me the tricks of the trade, or the secrets of fashion, I will forever be in debt to you (and possibly write you your own personal jingle [Im a professional musician] and send it to you in your honor)
For the record, I'm still really excited that XDA and it's community has made my phone the way it is today. I love that everyone on here isn't an 1/8 as bad as any youtube dbags. The support is incredible (shoutout to watsa) and everyone is more than willing to help. THANKS XDA!
EDIT: Hell, Ill write you a song. Just PM me three things about you and It'll be in your inbox in a matter of days.

Frame rate in home screen?

What's wrong with Fasty's look?

I juat think its poorly themed. Not my thing is all. sorry!

could always re-theme it. none of the themes suits my likings so i re-theme every ROM i flash

@OP I blame you for this lol You wanted answer for FPS and getting some for theme, because you mentioned about it. Expect some loyal fans of previous version of apex to question you too

Haha i know. I dont mean "bad," it's just not my style. Hahaha

You could try Fasty II or Victory Rom both look Good and have slick performance.
If there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man.

lol I feel sorry for OP. Ok I will start with it. I get ~ 45 FPS on KH3 Its controlled by kernel and if you want a higher FPS I am sure you would need a custom kernel which obviosly isnt available for KH3 yet.
If this is your priority no 1 then you need to jump off ship to an I9000 ROM with a highly customizable kernel like Talon.

Alright, all Im asking is iphone-like smoothness. Ive never seen that on the captivate, and Im hoping people can prove me wrong.

Oh nooo u didn't ?! There is no "i.." (the one we shall not speak of) in this comunity ,only we or us
As watsa mentioned earlier I'd too recommend you to switch to i9k based roms and then go for talon (oc/uv will set you straight).

You still haven't answered what you are talking about.
Also how are you measuring framerate? Is there a widget for that or something?

Samsung Galaxy S true picture

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Desire, i like it and i love it, but i think it lacks on many features as compared to Galaxy S. So here i am guys i want to buy a Galaxy S for my brother, who actually wants a blackberry, i have convinced him that its way better.
So anyone who is using it can tell me how is it as far for contacts and messaging, and other features??
Thanks
to be honest.. Its pretty sh*t.. sorry but 3 days I had it.. Desire is sooo much better!
Galaxy S- buggy OS
laggy
bad battery (very!!)
screen too big to operate with one hand
etc etc thats my experiance with SGS..
I have to disagree with the above poster, I have had the Vibrant (t-mo galaxy s), for a little over a month now, works great. Sure the stock load sucks, but most do ..
Would not be posting on XDA if you did not know about custom roms.
Battery life, depends on what you leave running, I get at least a full day if I don't leave a Shload of things running, mine is rooted and use setcpu to throttle back when not needed ...
GPS issues, some have them some don't, mine, locks in about 30 seconds, and is down to under 10m accuracy.
Voice quality is great, much cleaner than the HD2 I had.
Compared to the Desire which is a good phone, the Screen makes the Galaxy S , a winner, not to mention the touch is super accurate.
Coming from the HD2 I could not say the screen is too big to use one handed ..
It is a very fast phone, it runs smooth with a lot of apps loaded, (on non stock firmware), and although FroYo is not out for it yet, should be coming soon.
Considering I can stand out in almost direct sunlight, and use the phone without squinting at the screen that is a big bonus.
The only thing I could say about the Vibrant variant, is it does feel almost cheap, since the battery cover is plastic, the phone is tough, but just feels too light to be that tough.
As far as contacts and messaging go, it works well, not sure I am thrilled with the TouchWiz, interface that is on top of them, but it works.
thanks for the response, i wont mind more of it.
Thanks

Apparently you didn't have enough time with iT.
Buggy os? You kept it stock huh? Mines running a leaked 2.2 and its fast as sh*t
Laggy? Really? Did you really say that? You kept it stock for sure.
Screen to big? How small are your hands? Oompa lumpa sized? Mine are tiny and I can write just fine with one.
Bad battery? Hell no. This easily lasts me 2 days on one charge before it dies. You just have to train it.
Apparently you didn't spend enough time with it. Mines a beast!

Can't agree more.
so wait, let me get this straight. What y'all android lovers are saying is that you traded one buggy, laggy OS that requires an unlock and custom ROM to fix, for another???
I tried to help a coworker with his and it is very laggy and had several force closes over about an hour of me playing with it. Several times I had to wait 10-15 seconds for the screen to become responsive again.

I never had one FC on stock ROM, Your "Buddy" must of fu**** with something.

Is Gingerbread still coming?

I kinda feel like AT&T, LG and Google have all but abandoned this device. It's an AMAZING piece of hardware, I sure hope they give it the attention it deserves!
You're correct, it did feel abandoned.
I'm scarcely back to wanting to trade mine again, so much as to get an HTC.
But still, I guess its cause there's no ROM's I'm interested in. This my first device.
I'm not getting the best treatment from this brick.

I believe that you will still have to change basebands for whatever he produces so it still won't be any good for me.
we will have to change basebands yes if you want gb that is just one of the steps. until we get an official release thats the way it goes. you are able to flash gb and froyo basebands so if you dont like the gb baseband you can go back to froyo no problem. flashing the baseband isnt that difficult just extra steps in the process. also dont get discouraged stick it out with this phone, a bunch of people left because of no devs well, look at things now, we have seen 2-3 or more new roms in less than a week we have people working on kernels we have tekahuna improving his OC modules we have cm9 on the way. this phone has brand new top of the line tech in it so when we get all the kinks worked out you are going to want this phone.

yeh i agree to some degree. used to anyway. since this is the only phone with the tri-dual business i figured its just a sleeper waiting to wake up. my gf just got the galaxy s 2. i went there to play around with it and man it was dissapointing to b honest. it was THIN! i mean REAL thin. which is super nice. but not if its rly light. it felt like it was made in china out of rly thin plywood. now that aside, the speed. it was good....to b honest, it was just as good as our thrills. i couldnt tell the diff at all. only diff was that my thrill was able to load stuff waaaaaaaaay faster lol. it took her like a good 10 seconds+ to load up market or even search for smthn. (yeh i know thats cuz of the t-mobile connection, but still....prty big fail). and just in general phone looked like it had less to offer. i was rly worried about getting the thrill and not the galaxy s 2 but since i got to play with it, i can safely say, it is not as good. especially since my thrill is keeping up with it when its still a sleeper with old froyo. now the super amoled screen....lol i dont like it....no joke. when u look at it in the dark and the screen is black lets say...like ur gonna watch smthn on utube and the video is loading....the black screen looks like its been painted on top of an illuminating light and u can see all the streaks and its rly lame. besides that, i rly couldnt tell the diff. maybe it was slightly more crisp but thats all. u cant see sht in direct sunlight so who cares.
im sticking it out with the thrill for sure. even tho galaxy has way more dev, i got a feeling its not gonna b as good as the thrill. this phone has way less fame than it should have. but thats whats gonna make the handful of thrill owners awsome, when the phone finally wakes up after gb.
I have heard December 9th will be the date for the release. I cannot disclose where I got this info but hopefully it will be true.

Agreed... except the sgs2 is much faster and smoother with a dev rom.. I made a similiar rom for it and my phone flies at 1.4 oc stable... when gb att comes out I should be able to do same for thrill specially with bedwa making kernels... it isn't that far behind sg2 in performance.

I can see what you mean considering you are talking about the t-mobile version of the SGS2 which as far as I recall made the screen bigger and also switched out the CPU. Now if you are talking about the AT&T version it is a totally different game. The screen looks WAY better on the AT&T version because they didn't stretch the screen to 4.5" and the CPU/GPU until Quad-Core chips come out is at the moment second to none (Exynos as opposed to T-Mobile's Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S3 Processor with 1.5 GHz dual-core CPUs). Also note that they changed the Processor on the New Skyrocket as well and also stretched the screen which makes it look like crap. Super Amoled + on Anything other than 4.3" and below Really badly needed to increase resolution.

[REQ] Rotation Animation

The gist is: Is it possible to make a Captivate do this? I know that just about every Motorola android has a nice little reorienting animation when you turn it over. We (and by "we" I mean "you geniuses who know what the hell you're doing") managed to implement the now standard crt screen-off animation. Any chance at getting the "flip?"

That would be sense, and while it may be possible to do i highly doubt it will happen.
been there and discussed it in a hugely long thread on here.......its too big to load on the touchpad at the moment. It needs to come under 225MB but you never know what'll happen. HTC FlyerSense with ICS just got leaked on there which is the same resolution, keep hope

One thing that makes me smile

I love how HTC used to get so much **** for having a laggy UI with Sense. I was one of those who kind of hated on Sense and really dissed it. Now I have noticed TouchWiz has become the Sense of old. Bulky, laggy, and way too big for its own good. Kind of funny how the two companies have done a reversal. I used to purchase Samsung devices just to avoid the lag of Sense and other UIs. Every video review I have watched, the reviewer has complained of lag on the S4. For once I will actually stay with an HTC device until my next contract renewal. I feel it was done right. One thing that isnt fair though is that nobody seems to be giving Samsung the hard time HTC got about their overbloated UI overlay. What gives?
Oh, and the classic "The reviewer or people posting negative reviews and comments about the GS4 are paid by HTC" wtf, really? If someone doesnt like Samsung products they are assumed to be crazy and must be getting "paid off" to post negative comments? That's really unfair and childish of them to say. Anyone else noticing unfair biases?

I noticed that as well. Sense 5 is smooth, man. I haven't had any lag, outside of me messing with governors and such, and I've read several reviews that say Touchwiz is kindof laggy. People aren't going to give Sammy any **** though because they are the top dog. While I'm glad they are android (for now) they are in the position that Apple was not long ago...nothing they can do is wrong even if it is. It's a little annoying

the only thing that seems odd to me in Sense 5 has been the lock screen..It kind of looks like its not meant for the current state it is in..It looks like it's set up and preparing for Android 4.2.1-2..Looks like they are preparing for lock screen widgets and I cant wait!

Good to see you over here, Brian. Nice getting to see some LTE around home now, huh?

Not necessarily. Sense 5 has started becoming a little more transparent, and show's a lot of stock Android in it. I'm happy with it.

I like AOSP ROMs and all... but Sense 5 has some killer features that I wouldn't want to give up.

I agree. I've always preferred Sense in any iteration.
but I know that once some AOSP ROMs come out I'll flash and play as I'm a flashaholic.

Well of course there will be some testing. I'll have to flash a few ROMs to see what each offers. I wouldn't mind checking out Paranoid Android on here. :good:
agreed, the only thing i want in sense is quick toggles! i used them all the time on my GS2. Luckily the mod is already out for this. That and the MMS compression fix. Other than that its pretty impressive out of the box.
But yea when will we start seeing AOSP stuff? I know the phone is only out for a wk or two but I'm looking forward to seeing the development section start to fill up.

I believe there are people working behind the scenes on some AOSP stuff. One problem would be the new SoC Snapdragon 600. I don't think there is a reference device running android on this platform yet.
I'm really diggin sense 5 in general. Blinkfeed is awesome.. I always had a currents widget on my furthest left screen anyways.
One thing I dislike. Is that the app drawer still scrolls gingerbread style. I'd like it to be paginated.
And as for quick toggles like i've seen in a few posts. We don't want quick toggles! we just want the 4.2 update. Then it should be pull down on left 3/4 for notifications. Or the right 1/4 for the toggles that are just built into android now. The quick toggles of the past are pretty ugly in comparison.

I guess by paginated you mean horizontal scroll instead of vertical. I too find this odd as Sense 4.0, 4.1, and 4+ all had horizontal app drawers.
I also like this, but what I have done is make folders and put the apps in there so I only have one page.

Used to have it in Sense before it was even an Android thing. Best part of my EVO 3D.
This is the first phone I can say I may not even want to put an AOSP rom on.
Why don't the do landscape Rosie for Christ's sake?

The folders in the app drawer has been something I really like that I wouldn't have thought I would. Now I am down to 3 homepages instead of 5 or 7. Would be nice if they could hold more apps per folder but it still makes my app drawer so nicely organized.

Because eww.... No matter how cool it is, widgets and stuff just do not align very pretty. Surely you will get your fix with a custom rom.

What's up man.. Yeah the tower down by froggers on rock springs road has some descent reach but it dies off right in front of my house.. When they light up this boom tower behind OK Tires I think we will be set around here.
