airbooks and all are ultrabooks right? Well they're super portable ma, suits ppl who don't like having bulky stuff with em.

But yeah, experience > specs of course. Probably why the S2 did so well even though you have comparable spec-ed phones at that time. Twas fast at that time.

Was actually thinking HOX had alot of potential. Good design, Tegra gives u tegrazone which is good gaming experience I guess, good camera, good big screen, etc. Good all rounder on paper. Sad to hear certain tasks lag and what nots. Getting mixed reviews on this actually, some say it lags some say it doesn't. Played with my friend's one which had scarcely any app installed. Thought it was ok, but wasn't impressed. Was expecting something that responds faster than s2 I guess, which it failed to do so
*
Most surprising review is from phonearena, which says the gnex camera is BETTER than the HOX camera in their comparison between the two devices.

Sense unfortunately is still too heavy.

For average users, i guess tablets are ok. But for more power users, laptops is still the way too go. Im kinda worried abt laptop market now, since ultrabooks seem to be the trend, hopefully they'll still be around

Think there're always be a place for laptops over ultrabooks, no worries smile.gif

Hmm yeah, think it's true that Sense is less bloated now, but it's still a tad heavy. Then again, could be an ICS thing tongue.gif All these many animations are annoying. Loading app tray on aosp interface also banyak kecoh, waste time saja
*
I think those animations mainly to satisfy average users to give an impression that its a 'polished' os i guess. I like it though, looks cool to me. I barely access app drawer anyways since all i need is all on my homescreen

Agree it's cool. I like the exit animations more. Fast and simple yet gives it a nice feel.

Opening of apptray downright worst one. Additional animations are great, but take time to process. Maybe I'm used to raw speed and crappy/non existent animations. Feels like an ipong now, as if slower speeds are masked by animations. Don't really know how to describe it though laugh.gif
*
I get what you mean, thats what wp does too. Notice how the transition when clicking on the live tiles is uneccesarily long to 'hide' the slow loading speeds due to it being single core only.

Overall, animations are more to satisfy the average user and some idiotic iFag-tech-reviewers-that-think-their-iphone-is-the-fastest-when-in-fact-its-slow-loading-speeds-is-masked-by-animations. Older android animations didnt have any fancy animations, thats a partial reason why people said android was slow. To me, im fine with animations, so long it isnt too long.

Apple also likes to be sly sometimes, like in web browser, even though loading bar finished but webpage is still loading and still got loading icon on status bar doh.gif

seriously?

thats great news!
i love on screen buttons.

which aokp? hydrogen?
able to customize to enable and disable it issit?

would you be so kind to upload a screen shot of the on screen buttons?
if its not too much trouble?
*
You can enable/disable it in rom control. On screen buttons look good, but for a 4.3 inch device, it takes up too much space. Even after you put it to the minimum height, looks weird and too much space taken in my opinion

Edit: Guys, I fully sharge till 100% and I can see that my battery is dropping like 1%/3 minute.
What caused it? I'm on ondemand 100Mhz-1.2Ghz. Brightness on low.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
*
In standby? Or when screen on? Maybe battery meter isnt accurate already, try plug it into charger and once it hits 100%, leave it there for about 30 minutes charging, plug out and see if it drops anymore

Hydrog3n is AOKP. AOSP/AOKP is not samsung base so it is alot smaller. It has always been like this.

Where is the choppy animation? homescreen? etc...
*
mainly in homescreen, sometimes when scrolling will be choppy, enter app drawer sometimes choppy too.

@laptop

U use phone damn fast issit? xD When I do slow operations is fine, when I'm hammering my phone yea, it's choppy. Think honestly on a whole samsung based ROMs are faster than AOSP roms for S2 currently tongue.gif
*
Im not even stressing the phone, in simple tasks like scrolling between homescreens or apps and opening app drawer, its always so choppy. Anyways, i seem to have partially solved the problem by reflashing hydrog3nics and wiping cache and dalvik cache, its still choppy, but not as serious as before. I think this choppy scrolling has something to do with the kernel, as on siyah it was extremely choppy but on netchip kernel it seems less choppy

Hmm then that's odd, shouldn't be choppy, especially homescreen. Homescreen is generally pretty decent on my side. (looks better than sammy GB rom as well, due to the elastic effect or something antt00 was mentioning)

It used to be smooth, then i went ahead and flashed siyah rc2, then all hell break lose already vmad.gif NEVER gonna flash siyah betas and rcs until final siyah v3.1 is out

Eh wait, RC2?

Got reset Extweaks profile in CWM? He removed 1.6kmhz and 100mhz, screws with the steps. If your smooth scaling target is 2 (used to be for 1.2kmhz), it'll be set to 1000mhz now.

I dont think i did that hmm.gif im too lazy to flash siyah now anyways, maybe next time

Haha yeah, your next download you flash, just try resetting the profile under CWM first. Can't remember all the settings, but guess you can just amend smooth target / etc under the first tab as well to fix it. When I didn't reset, phone was a little slower/choppier. Then when I looked at CPU spy, realised I wasn't using 1200mhz sweat.gif
Yeah. On GB NEAK used to fly for me compared to Siyah. But both seem as heavy on ICS under heavy operations laugh.gif

Edit:
Kinda need my phone, so lazy to flash, but anyone wanna try the kernel link I posted some pages back? biggrin.gif

this one
*
Reset extweaks profile in cwm or app itself? Never used extweaks in long time, so mostly i forgot everything sweat.gif

Wat does minfree task killer do?

The more the better or less the better?
*
Dont use task killers, they only eat up your battery. We have such a powerful phone already, why bother with how much memory we have considering we already have 1GB of ram? Task killers kills all apps in background, including core services like phone,messaging etc, which will automatically restart once its closed, this just goes on and on and on. At the end of the day, you dont see any performance increase, you only see battery go down down down

Haha very very great person, quite the weird expression for a developer tongue.gif
The more, the smoother general operations should be. But at the same time less multitasking
The more minfree, the better performance would theoretically be. The whole argument of free RAM does not go to waste for Linux. Similar to v6 super charger or LMK from Thunderbolt! scripts ma.
Hmm where's pikachu when you need him tongue.gif I know he swears by sio being the best, but siyah's default is cfq, and noticed when you set "performance" profile for siyah, it goes to vr unsure.gif

Well, for such powerful phones like S2, we dont need task killers anyways, they just drain battery. It's not like we have lack of memory anyways
