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!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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?

Just my eyes. I can see that its a little slow and not nearly as smooth as other phones.
I've looked around and can't find anything. Is it impossible to trick the Bionic that 4G is WiFi?
Curious why?
Probably looking to get around data usage.
I'm interested in this as well. I think it's pretty lame that when I try to upload a video (1080p 1min duration) from my phone to Youtube it tells me I have to be on WiFi. Maybe this is to prevent users from exceeding their allotted data limit...or just cut down on traffic, but I don't like it.
fooling ur 4g for wifi
actually i think ur on to something they may want to control the data usage and the traffic but they still throttle for that purpose they can lie all they want bout vzw not doing that but bs we all know they do! im sure give it time and someone will figure out a way to fool the phone hell y not they come up with everything else! remember droid does!
I, too, wouldn't mind this.
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

various reasons. One is so that I won't be restricted when certain apps require wifi (i.e. some Amazon Apps). It's ridiculous to require wifi when Verizon's LTE is so blazing fast.

DTR mods are nothing more than a placebo. They are based on a gross misunderstanding of how throttling works and are no more effective than wrapping your phone in aluminum foil and slathering it with apple butter.
MMMmmmmmm... apple butter.
Other than that, maybe check out my attempt to get anyone interested in what you are referring to.

Is it possible to port the UI of the HTC Jetstream to the Touchpad? I really like the sense UI on the tablet.
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

i used it today and its def not worth it. Screen looks the same. It was actually a little slow and idk i prefer the amaze a lot more. Switch isnt worth it
Esp since ics our phone feels faster than the one s which is sad
even tho with roms itll be faster
I tried out the one s today and its a fantastic phone, but not having expandable store is a no go for me, not to mention the lack of a menu button is hard to get used to *seriously*
I do have to say its butter smooth and the sense 4.0 features are nice but not worth the switch for me.
Edit; was blown away by the quality of the screen though, perfect black scales and no lag

I played with the 1S today too. I was doing speed test to load certain pages and the Amaze kept up and at certain times was faster. The non-expandable storage is a negative for me too. The phone felt nice, screen was nice and all but like others have said, its not worth upgrading it from the Amaze.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Yeah... i dont know what the OP is talking about. must have been playing with a defect or something lmao.
never, ever judge a phone by a display model.. those phones are on 24/7 and pretty much never get rebooted (which you need to do every once in a while on android).
the screen on the one s is FAR superior than the amaze screen. talking about colors, viewing angles, and visible outdoors.

I heard it wasnt good outdoors.
Does anyone have the spec differences of the Amaze and One S. That no SD card really gets to me man. I need more space. I have 2 batteries for the Amaze because the battery life is not that good. I couldnt imagine having a phone where I cant take out the battery either.
Not another one s vs amaze thread...

I dunno that does not look like a sunny day to me lol. I read that review, then I read this review that says alot of negative stuff about the screen and camera. I dont know what to believe lol
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/04/25/t-mobile-htc-one-s-review
I just did a full upgrade with TMO.... I initially wanted the One X but TMO US doesn't carry it. And none of my lines qualify for any upgrade, but TMO US was very nice and gave me a courtesy full upgrade I took the plunge.....
Now I have both Amaze in ICS and One S. And my Amaze is 2 weeks old since I had them replace it when I dropped it.
I'll post comparisons once I get the One S. For the courtesy and full upgrade price, I was not able to resist the urge.
But in no way am I letting go of the Amaze, it's such an awesome phone especially now we have ICS leaked out.

you do realize you're comparing a review from a gaming to a review from a tech website where they review tons of things daily... lol
look at some of the picture on the post towards the end. doesnt really matter though. htc made both the one x and one s to have great viewing angles and very visible outside. they didnt make the amaze to have either.

I wonder if the root method for your phone will work for this phone. Do you guys use odin on your devices?
Just incase anyone else looks here for the same info I was looking for. With the help of now knowing the model #. I was able to find some dev info in the S3 mini section.

Those two links I posted above are for the t599 just they are in the s3 mini forum. The t599 already has root and cwm working. Xda just sucks for making forums for things so people end up making threads in forums for other devices.

Reading through the thread the same person that got cwm working is building cm10 for it. Since these are devices are for my family though im just happy there is cwm for backups and root for deleting bloat for them.

Thats the problem with battery technology. It hasnt advanced at all. The only way to make a battery with more power is to increase its size. The best battery life I have ever had is with my current device, the note 2. Its huge and powerful but because its so big they can put a large battery in it. Smaller devices how ever will always be stuck with small batteries. I wish that someone would say "ok phones are extremely powerful, now maybe we should look into making batteries able to hold more juice without making them larger. "
