[Q] P1010 performance improve

Hi everyone
atlast i bought a P1010 but i regret so bad
I use it for web surfing, chat, facebook and watching videos
all works great except videos
I know it's weak in that spot but i read in forum that some guys increased quadrant scores by using oneclicklagfix and setcpu apps
I want to know how effective are those methods?
can I watch full HD (1080p) videos if I oclf my tab?
what about overclocking? is there any way?
please help me
thanks in advance

Hi, answer no!
But you can watch with no issues 720 with no issues, and honestly this is a better format for the size hehe if the only reason is less file size. Now if you wanted it cause you can hook up to your tv to play then you are out of luck.

thank you so much for the answer
actualy i can play 720p but high bitrate mkv files are blury and pixelate
what does overclocking do exactly?
there is no lag in running apps out of the box and it doesn't improve video playbacks
why people overclock p1010?
what does oclf do?

I have used mobo and mvideo players for mkv files and had no issues with lag before and after rooting and over clocking.
The stock player would not play them for me but then i had a faulty device as well and sammy are replacing it for me.
Overclocking makes the device snapier for most apps but effects battery life.. So depending on what you use it for and how often you can get to a charger will depend.. When get new one next week will tell you if battery performance was solely due to Overclocking >:~}

yes I use mobo for all videos format, it's the best imo, but when playing mkv highbitrates sound and video are unsync
vplayer can play them but the quality sucks
I wish there was a way I could overclock GPU

Chainfire3D 1.9 (eu.chainfire.cf3d)
CPU Master Free 1.5.1
and make sure device is rooted, these help me, and am sure there are others out there >:¬}

thanks again
they say Chainfire isn't related to video playback

which one do you think is better?

[Q] How can one improve .MKV video playback on galaxy mini

Hey guys, appreciate the work you guys have done here. Am running stock rom on my galaxy mini, still new to android after ages spent as a wm6.5 lurky hence taking my time before trying to go gingerbread. I have tried mx player, mobo player, qq player rockplayer yet I still can't get •Mkv clips to play well. Video is always choppy though sound is fine, in wm apps had the option to reduce quality unlike in android. Any ideas on how I could improve playback?

yes, the only solution for your problem is buying an upgrade phone.
The Adreno 200 GPU and the 600MHZ CPU is not up to the task of playing any file with higher resolution than 480p. Maybe some MPEG4 files, but H.264 not possible.
MX Player is one of the best players in terms of hw acceleration. If this can't handle well, you are out of luck.

Hmmm bummer, guess I'll start eyeing the galaxy S soon, this happens to be my first crack at android already am suffering from the smartphone upgrade fever! That voice in my head that keeps telling me to upgrade just won't let up! With that said the galaxy mini is still quite cool, for a starter.

Well then whats the max recommended benchmark video resolution I should try to play? I remember having issues with an .mkv 480p big bang episode. whats the highest resolution any of you have played with reasonable results?

You can install tweaked chainfire drivers along with overclocked kernel to see if its working

i think if you oc it will work much more smoother

What is the resolution of the videos ur trying to play?
Convert them 240x320 and try.
This works best for me..though I don't remember how well.mkv plays but I tried various formats in this res a long time back and they all seemed to play well.
Try on both mobo and Qq...
Hmm I'll give Mx a try.
---edit----
Damn this thread is months old!

Haha dont worry about it being a month old, we still read it. Converting videos sounds tideous

ya but that is the best way to get most of the hdvideos to work, afaik.
i use total video converter.
cannot expect a 720 or a 1080p to play on mini without down converting it
btw ya i've had a lil trouble with .mkv, i prefer avi.

.avi always delivers in my mini, its my preferred format, had a chance to fiddle with a pals galaxy s and galaxy s2 and damn I was so freaking blown out of the water! Right now am thinking upgrade, just as soon as I rob a bank to afford one! just rooted galaxy mini, was considering overclock options but am not sure that would do much improvements. Oh and what about CHAINFIRE3D? Do you guys think it can enable smoother mkv play on mx video player or does it only work for games?

I think Cf3d works only with games.

I'm not sure abt cf3d cuz it has lots of options..and if u use it properly(knowing what does wat),it mite have some effect.
head over to that thread.

I actually have chainfire installed, just freaked out by the warning it gave just before I install the openGL driver so am still growing a pair before activating it . Read the forum and pretty much still I can't tell heads or tails about what it really does. And also from the looks of things it seems to be complimented better by overclocking abilities on your phone. I have been using stock froyo for a while and now am feeling ready to graduate to the big boys league, just can't decide yet between going for a stock gingerbread rom or cyanogen rom. As time goes am sure more solutions will come out to tackle this problem coz .mkv is a pretty important format these days especially in phones coz of its small storage size requirements, wish android and samsung had taken more time to make it more compatible with their hardware and software respectively

o2x browsing sucks, why?

Hello,
I just got a "Player" called Samsung galaxy player 4.0 which is basically the Samsung galaxy s without the phone antenna.
It has android 2.3.5 and the browser is extremely SMOOTH, iphone like!
Plus skype video call is much better in quality.
Skype apart, why is the browser so much worse on the lg with a GPU like the tegra 2? Is this all because of LG non-optimization?

you got that player for optimus 2X?
Also i was wondering the same about LG and optimization... my previous phone was a samsung galaxy mini with ginger 2.3.4 and it was smoother at browsing and at menus than O2X ... even now that im using CM7..weird

Actually, LG did not make any browser tweaks to make browsing smoother. It's just normal android performance.
Samsung did some black magic on their phones that makes the browser extra smooth.
I would suggest you try opera mobile that does not use the default tweaks, and see how smooth that is, on both phones.

Afaik its because it has gpu accelerated browser.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium

Bingo.
Samsung built H/W acceleration into their browser.

The o2x has gpu flash acceleration so bleh!
Iv never owned a Samsung android phone so i cant compare but browsing is pretty dam fast on the o2x so maybe your have been spoiled.

If it's a different browser, one could use tile rendering (I think that's what it's called.). I don't know the geeky specifics but I believe it means the phone doesn't render the whole page, just blocks of it that you see at the current zoom level. It's also how the iPhone renders the web pages. Hence why it's so smooth. Hardware acceleration doesn't solve everything

Have you tried Opera Mobile?
it's much better then stock browser,
but still, not quite smooth as i9100.

And if you don't like opera then you could try dolphin browser hd.

firefox is **** for android don't even mention that turd again, it doesn't even support html5 videos ffs. They need to remove that embarrassing crap from android market.

I had only problems with firefox. It needs much more work. I use Opera and I dont have any problems with browsing. Everything is pretty smooth.

I meant the beta, they improved it and the desktop sync is unique, I want that feature. Aurora nightly has better GUI but no sync.

when I was on stock froyo/gb.. i found that 720p youtube videos viewed in the browser skipped a lot of frames. but on a Samsung Galaxy S it was quite smooth
anyways 720p youtube vids are fine now on CM7 temasek build 23

For me Dolphin Browser is the best for android, Never seen Galaxy S2 stock browser working

why is it ridiculous when i'm telling you that that's how it was for me?
on stock froyo/gingerbread.. 720p youtube playback on the LG browser is lagged.. frames skipped everywhere. and it was the same on opera/dolphin hd/ff with the latest adobe flash installed.. 480p was perfectly smooth though
my friend's SGS gingerbread (wasn't sure if it was custom or stock) played 720p with no lag at all in the browser
i am telling you exactly what happened.. this is on stock stock. no mods. just pure out of the box vanilla.

Is the flash player still gpu accelerated, when it's updated from market?

must play hd videos?

Hello guys I'm in a rush so I keep this short and sweet
So I installed latest version of cm10, and tried YouTube app
I only can play the videos when they are in hd..
Any solutions? Cos hd videos kinda lag.
Thanks

Any replies? Ty

Yes... Currently only in hd

Does it also apply to the CM10.1? Can I play the videos normally there? Does embedded videos in the browser (browser YouTube, or Facebook for ex.) work in CM10.1 as well? This is important for me. (well that, and GTA: VC performance, vs. my currently Stock)

well not really sure, but i will try cm10.1 soon sure cos the latest cm10 seems to be lagging me down for some reasons =-=
for the embedded videos, i guess u will need the jb flash player to be installed too. its found here on xda. for gta vc, wow , i cant even play that on my gb stock rom cos too laggy XD. how did u do that? and in cm10or 10.1, it will defintely be laggier cos jb takes more ram

Right now, CM10.1 is faster than CM10, so try it now.
About GTA: VC on stock, well, it's laggy, but more in vehicle, than on foot. Also about 30 minutes later it lags very bad and closes itself shortly after. But it's somewhat playable for me. I'll just complete the story and some side missions and get rid of it, and test Real Racing 3.

Stock Rom Faster?

Ok so I've tried almost every rom there is for the Nook HD+ even some weird Pacman rom. But reciently I decided to try out the stock rom seeing I bought mine already rooted. Its crazy but it seems faster! I was locked in a crazy boot cycle the other day with a newer rom and just decided to install stock as I had it there on my external sd card. I updated it to version 2.2.0 even tho last time I tried it, it failed (Its ment to) and everything just seems smoother. Although its has now been unrooted
I guess the only trouble I will run into is that it doesn't have trim support? I can probably see it slowing down in about 3 weeks.. How is everyone elses experience with the stock rom been?

Maybe it is just your nook that run stock better. Mine two nook and lots of others are running CM like a charm.
At least for mine nook , CM 10.2 just blow stock rom out of water and back in and out again. Smoother , faster, more customisable, better battery life...
Many say also say CM 11 kick ass as well.

I think stock runs faster, too. At first, with a fresh install. After installing my 150 or so apps it gets as slow as anything else if not slower, plus there is no TRIM support. I prefer CM11; it's pretty impressive in both speed and performance, and it's hard for me to give up the many customizations available and built-in root access.

hmmmm i was just pondering , how much faster cm11 will be compared with stock rom , just bought a HD+ , browsing is a bit sluggish and choppy when zooming in and out , using a fairly low level browser called Boat browser , i use the same browser on my Samsung Note 3 and its spot on nice and fast........i was hoping CM11 when i install it tomorrow would make quite a lot of difference .....seems as if it might not be based on the messages above !!!

Which is your favourite version of kitkat for the nook hd+?

Antutu results are about 10% better with 10.1 or 10.2 vs stock on my HD. Didn't spend enough time with the stock ROM to tell if there was a noticeable performance difference.

Just installed the latest CM11 nightly , boy what a difference it has made to the overall slickness / speed of the Android experince on the Nook HD+ , i only paid UK £54.99 delivered , turned up today , did my homework over the past few days and hey presto CM11 has turn a bit of a sluggish tab into a bargain great experince tablet !!! i generall use my Galaxay Note 3 for my evening surfing , but i guess i will be using the HD + most evenings instead !

Maybe OP 's nook is different then most of ours . Stock rom has its magic on his nook.
But for those who is really looking for a more responsive rom, I strongly recommend giving cm a try.
My nook is on cm 10.2. It usually last 1 week for me on a charge and I do quite some reading and watching movies.

I had the stock ROM with some the mods such as rooted and install unknown apps. I was happy with it but once I tried cm10.1 yellow kernel or the cm10.2 with the archdroid optimizations, I will never go back. I would recommend cm10.2 with the archdroid optimizations unless over clocking is important to you. If OC is important check out the yellow kernel ROM.

I used to use Boat, too, but now I use Javelin. I recommend you check it out. Also make sure you run trim after you get everything installed and set up; it could make a difference.

I think on the HD+ there's something wrong with the video driver. Because I agree as well that with CM11 (any version M or nightly) the OS seems more responsive but video transitions and anything involving the screen updates is a dog. Try playing games like PvZ or some others with specific types of video needs and it's just a wreck. I made a video to highlight my Nook HD+ vs Kindle Fire (first generation slow as dirt) with the KF boot screen making the HD+ cry. You can see when I page back left after paging right the HD+ stutters trying to load the mostly empty page too.

Nook HD+ has a 1920x1280 LCD. That's a lot of pixels to render and it is a bit too much for the TI OMAP 4470 to bear it seems. Most high performance computers don't even render that many pixels.

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" uses the same CPU/GPU and it doesn't have issues doing the same tasks. As the OP stated too the stock rom handles the load better too. I really believe we have a driver or memory management issue.

Could be. Jon Lee of the Yellow Kernel thread has done some changes to the PowerVR and Vivante GPU drivers but it hasn't really changed much as far as I can tell.
He also suggested using the "Force GPU rendering" setting in developer options but that has some caveats. It forces apps that aren't configured to use GPU rendering to do so, but forcing things doesn't always work out as you'd like. Some apps use the GPU(s) already.
We have smart people working on the kernels here and if whatever causes the graphics lag was obvious/addressable it would probably be gone. I am positive that resolution is part of the problem. I've used lower end OMAP4 devices like Nook Tablet with 1024x600 and they were much smoother.

Games aren't a really good way of deciding what's happening.
They can have different quality settings that there's generally no menu for, so its automatic picking for quality. Historically at least, Real Racing 3 would pick it wrongly and thus the game would have bad framerate on the nook hd+ needing use of a 3rd party app to force the game to lower graphics quality.

I typically agree with this statement but if you view the video I posted in my other thread about this topic it's clearly apparent that an old as dirt, 1 GHz, 512mb, very first generation Android tablet running the exact same OS release smacked the crap out of the HD+. The Nook HD+ as is, is an embarrassing device running the non-default OS. The point of this is to ensure someone is aware of this and to see if anything can be done about it.

I haven't tried an emmc install of cm, only dual boot Jelly Bean and KitKat sd cards. But they break some of my regularly used apps, hence no emmc install.
But what I haave found is replacing the stock launcher with Holo launcher really speeds up stock. And Swapps task switcher lets you access recent apps. I'm not sure how it compares to an internal install of cm though, but I'm happy enough with performance.

In reading the commits for my Note II I noticed some new commits for the HD+ that haven't been closed yet. It looks like they're enabling a 128 MB swap partition for this device.
