why ace s5830i is nt capable of hd video recording even after having bcm2763?

after a bit googling i found that nokia 808 pureview uses the videocoreIV bcm2763 gpu, same used by ace s5830i !!
i wonder then why ace with an "i" is nt capable of hd video recording..??!
also, nokia n8 uses the prior generation videocoreIII bcm2727 gpu ! still it is capable of recording videos at 720p even after having a slower processer than ace 5830i !
please somebody explain to me why galaxy ace 5830i is not capable of hd video recording?

I'd say that it's because they put the lowest amount of effort you possibly can to make the videocore compatible with android/linux. Just by looking at their kernels you can see it was just rushed. They are pushing a lot of updates nowadays, now that they released some raspberry pi drivers they are more focused on phones.
They are working on the gpu slowly I suppose. They say they will be releasing some EGL binaries (not sources...) soon, which will improve cyanogenmod compatibility and maybe 3d graphics performance

any idea when they will be releasing source..
i heared broadcom released it for galaxy y !
thank for the reply

They released very partial sources, however, they keep saying that they will release proper sources...
Pretty much anything compatible with the galaxy y can be ported to the s5830i without much effort though, I think the rafael baugis kernel already makes use of some of the sources released

so if they ralease proper sources...what change would it make ?!
i guess we would b able to use cm 9

there is already a working cm9 for galaxy ace (galaxy y port) but the colors are switched and camera doesn't work and there is a wi-fi fix for it so its pretty much usable.

Ubuntu phone os

Will it happen on our ace???

Nothing is impossible..as you can see Samsung didn't cared to release updates after GB..but our mighty development staff..provided us with ICS n JB..that too running better than Samsung's GB..
Ubuntu OS ,currently only for Nexus Devices..official launch in October 2013..so wait for sources to leak..then development will begin..

This thing isn't even remotely as easy as ICS/JB was. The system image itself is huge and the os is a ram hog so unless someone finds a way to optimize the way it uses resources and such, no way

Why is it so resource heavy? Is there a specific area it needs it for? It strikes me as a relatively simple OS.

Google and checkout for the video of the Ubuntu OS as explained in the ces 2013 on YouTube. With so much to offer, you can't really expect it to be light enough to run on our phones. It will take up a lot of ram obviously. Besides, Ubuntu for ace ?! :what: We're just building castles in mid-air if we think that it's happening any time soon.

Why not Ubuntu for Ace?
Ace already have a half working CM10.1 (4.2.2). Who would have thought it would work in the galaxy ace...
Ubuntu I guess it should be the same, slow, and half things working. But it would still work.

Ubuntu doesn't support armv6 so that's the first problem also every single app that I'd on there would have to be ported and every future app will also have to be ported also with regards to the cm 10.1 port the device needs a proper cm port in order for it to count look at it like this
Galaxy s2 - stable cm10.1 horribly laggy crashy Ubuntu (it's a dev preview but still)
Galaxy ace horrible laggy crashy cm10.1.+ armv6 architecture- lucky if it boots up
I'm not gonna go so far as to say it won't happen but you would have to find a dev crazy enough to try porting it and even if he/she (don't wanna be sexist) defys all odds and makes it the same speed as on nexus devices (I.e horribly laggy) it would still have guaranteed very limited usability because of Ubuntu's lack of armv6 support

can you take a look at minis display size and ask yourself "what would be actual point of that?"

With 600mhz and less than 512mb ram, its not possible to have a proper multiwindow experience and yes the screen is too small.

I don't think its possible since we use cm build and they don't have this feature
I think this feature is made by Samsung Devs themselves and is closed source

Yeah , we cannot have for mini.

You can get floating browser and video player from google play store. Then you will know how small your minis screen is

"multi windows"? What do you mean? Is it like multi windows on Galaxy Note?

so much hate in this thread...instal latest cm10.1 and instal this

i really don't know what is wrong with you guys, why you even expect galaxy mini to work like a new phone? it's getting older every day, and just because we have newest android on it (thanks to highly skilled developers, who are willing to spend their free time to make it happen) doesn't mean that it will perform like nexus 4 or galaxy note 2... seriously, get a grip of reality and save up for a new phone or deal with the fact that mini is getting obsolete...

We don't have great device

And Ubuntu Touch is not yet released in daily driver form for any device. It's like alpha or beta.

Agreed with nishanty13 and ast00.
We don't have a great spec devices (c'mon, ARMV6 Processor, LDPI screen, 600 Mhz processor ? You gotta' be kidding me) and Ubuntu touch isn't stable yet. It still hanging around on Alpha stage.

Ubuntu Touch is just "preview", nothing works except browser. There isn't any real application on it, cannot do anything, it likes a set of screenshots of real OS.
*I know because I've tried installing and using it, but it has nothing to use *

Yeah, agreed with you. I already installed it in my Nexus, but yeah, nothing is great. It's hard porting a full blown desktop experience to a phone. Also, our Mini isn't great at all, you can't just go beyond limit, our Mini is a ARMV6 powered phone with 256 MB RAM, what's so great that you want fully blown Ubuntu Touch ?
No offence but i disagree with idea of porting it.

Honestly....porting is not impossible but really is it even worth it....

I don't think it's wort it...only if you have a SIII or SIV maybe but on a device such as our mini i would wish that cm10.1 to become stable and official that wold be more than enough for me

[Roms port] Galaxy S4, Xperia Z and HTC One [request]

Hey guys, its an humble request. Can any1 port the stock roms of Xperia Z, Htc One or Galaxy S4? I know its tough, but any person with dev skills can do it ! I have no knowledge about porting roms. As these devices are on 4.2.2, it wont be that tough. So please try and let us know what you think. We will be more than grateful if sm1 does it.

It might be big, but galaxy nexus has it. So its not impossible. And we can always try out new things

I don't think you realize what kind of work porting these roms means. These are huge projects, and not every developer that works with aosp is capable to do that. These roms have different frameworks...to name one of the major difficulties (This is not the same what making a nice theme) Anyway, Sense project has already been started. It doesn't boot yet unfortunately. And as far as I remember Galaxy Nexus doesn't have fully working ports.

Possible yes, probably not. It's not just that Android versions have to be same, the hardware has to be similar too. Even then it would need months of work, experimenting, etc. Optimus g is almost the replica of the nexus 4 , even then porting LG ui is not complete. That's how hard it is.

Exactly and here we're talking about three different and sometimes by far more complex ports (not to mention different screen resolutions). Possible in theory? yes! I do like the idea very much. However probability to build a daily driver is rather very low. Every single project would take simply too long.

writing [request] in the thread title doesn't mean it's gonna happen

Yup i agree, its a long way to get these roms working! But its not impossible and we have a pretty awesome devs lineup and an awesome community as well

It seems slg1119 from the at&t optimus g thread managed to port htc sense 5.0 and make it boot but, besides touch everything else doesn't work. It's a start and maybe someone could port that for the nexus 4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353971

there are a lot of proprietary stuff in those roms. it's not gonna happen. use icon packs, 3rd party lockscreen apps etc.. to replicate a sense or touchwiz feel, but you'll never get those air gesture, smart stay and what else features.
i respect that some people like those OEM skins, but i know i would never flash a sense or touchwiz rom even if there were totally bug free ports available for my nexus. Since the galaxy nexus days, it's clean vanilla for me all the way.

A sense 5 port would be cool

if we can get s4 camera feature only is that possible or htc's

It would be cooler to be able to port the actual apps to the nexus. Like porting the framework to work on the nexus 4 ROMs. I personally do not need all that bloatware from Samsung/Sony or HTC.
