Yay new thread laugh.gif

Erm anyone do "high end gaming" on their s2 like gameloft games or dead space etc?

Feels like I've dropped a tad of performance when coming to GB. Ever slightly so less frames. Nenamark seems to agree with me, I generally get a score of about 46-48. On CR6 highest I got was 54 on lulz NEAK, and generally at least above 40.

Could be placebo effect gaming wise, but always felt aosp ROM is heavier than samsung ROM, which could be affecting it.

my nenamark2 score is 51fps.. omega v11 + siyah 3.1rc6..

so it seems the i9300 or widely rumoured to be the s3 beats the iphone4s in terms of performance, going at 92.2 frames per second using

GLBenchmark2.1 with Egypt off-screen 720p

now i went and check it out myself, by downloading the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...k.glbenchmark21

and selecting Egypt offscreen, details about it shows that it will force a 720p(1280x720) display no matter wut resolution your phone is, my setup is ondemand 200mhz-1.2ghz and gpu with 3 steps up 160mhz, 247mhz to 400mhz . and my score is 83 frames per second
while iphone 4s's graphics is at a merely 72.7 frames per second, awesome graphics my ass  laugh.gif
*
wah.. what voltage you put to overclock to 400mhz?? I tried 1050 but hang.. cry.gif

my current score is egypt 62fps, pro 87fps.. both offscreen.. blush.gif

guys im new in samsung. i dont have ics rom in my galaxy  S2 non g yet. there is no update for my set either from kies. do u guys recommend to stay on GB or go to ICS with flashing stock ICS rom? is ICS stable? i have GB 2.3.6 now in my device.
*
was using checkrom v6 (2.3.6) previously.. then hydrog3n (4.0.4 i think), then omega v11 (4.0.3)..

imho.. in terms of smoothness..

hydrog3n > checkrom v6 > omega v11..

dunno lah.. just my personal opinion.. changed to omega to test some hdmi out cause hydrog3n does not support it.. tongue.gif

Ah nice, similar to CR6 one. Omega 11 is aosp rom?
Hmm interesting hmm.gif

I do think hydrogen is smoother than CR6, but it's slower. To me at least
*
omega v11 is based on stock ICS XWLP8..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197

one thing I noticed in GB vs ICS (for my S2 anyway)..
in GB, when first time access app drawer or go to manage apps, the app list comes out laggy (cause I have quite a number of apps installed)..
but in ICS, it's much smoother..
not sure if my explanation is clear enough.. blush.gif

at least now GM can continue with siyah development safely.. since the brick bug most probably point to the korean sources and not his changes..

I've stopped using TB for some time now.. since DataSync can back up my data, don't need 2 apps.. blush.gif

omega feels a bit heavy.. even after I removed the bloatwares through the script provided..

don't really feel like trying thebryani.. makes me hungry only.. tongue.gif

Currently I'm on siyah 3.1rc6, not sure is safe or danger version. Which one is the safest way to reflash this kernel? Usually I will flash with recover mode + wipe so I think my previous flash with this method will be my last sweat.gif

mobile odin + flash .tar ?? brows.gif nod.gif

Contacts to display, I ticked for Phone, SIM and Google account..

but most of my contacts are synced to all 3..

I just tried send a SMS to myself, with my number in all 3 locations (phone, sim, google), it still shows my contact picture.. blush.gif

my picture also shown. Only other senders aren't shown. for example I put my BF pic on his contact number. the pic are shown on contacts because I set display phone contacts but on SMS no picture was shown since it display SIM contact.

Guess I'm making you guys dizzy with all off this sweat.gif

It was working fine when I was on hydrog3n but both sammy base I tried (NEAT and Thebyani) have the same prob. only show SIM contact on SMS and there's no way to set it to display phone contacts only.
*
hmm.. strange then.. Cause my brother's contact photo is showing in my SMS list.. and his number is in my SIM and Google contacts.. hmm.gif

I'm on Omega sammy rom by the way...

Nope. At least with my app protector pro it won't work. Just crash and I can't get into my protected app.

I'm using applock and works ok with speedmod.. but I just do brief test.. (lock, open an app, key passcode, navigate app).. hmm.gif
