Dont think so man....if it was, it would have been done by now.

A darn, I want a smooth x10 :S Phone is great and faster then an iphone 4. Only thing if the facetime camera and multitouch. When I was using a iphone 4 i was being crazy of its lagg when browsing, switching apps and stuff :S App store is also sooo slow :S

[Q] Unsmooth scrolling.

Hi!
As many of you have noticed, the x10 has very unsmooth touch. Is it only the FPS cap that is limited or is there something else, like hardware? Iv'e heard that Gingerbread have a 32fps cap, does it have that on all devices? Shouldnt their scrolling be unsmooth then? There have to be just not the capped FPS?
Hi!
The smoothness of scrolling, animations and the UI in general is affected by the FPS-cap. It also affects the touch polling rate which you can notice as slow touch response when tapping something or playing a game like Fruit Ninja. There is a custom kernel which removes this cap but it's battery life is horrible. I'd imagine it won't take long to see a fully working kernel without the battery issues and the FPS-cap disabled.

My scrolling isn't too bad. Using rdnars SuperAOSP and the only time I find it lags is when my screen is dirty or I'm running some major usage on the memory. As far as I' aware they are the only two major things you'll come across in the better ROMS here that should effect it.
got to disagree i think the x10 is as smooth as any been playin around with my bros desire hd and cant really tell much difference between

The FPS-cap affecting smoothness is a FACT. The importance of this fact however is a matter of personal preference. My personal preference is to keep it uncapped. I'm on the verge of buying a second hand iPhone 3GS/4 just because of the godly smoothness of iOS. I'm just waiting to see if the upcoming 2.3 update uncaps this since the devs seem to not be as interested in uncapping the FPS as they are in overclocking/undervolting, which I think the former is absolutely useless when you can achieve the same perceived fastness/smoothness without overclocking.

I agree with you, in fact there are 2 other roms that has smooth scrolling which are Wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 rom and cobrato's MIUI1.3.8v2 rom, try to use GO Launcher EX you'll feel the difference...
Hi I'm using trips 2.2 and I must say with the fps cap the scrolling is horrible
Custom kernel <3

Hey guys... from where to get custom kernel for tripNraver 2.2 froyo rom. I want fps to be uncapped. Please post link. Thanxx

have you guys tried the
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=260
hack? Add that line to your build.prop if it isn't already there.
Makes it a lot smoother

I'm not 100% sure but i think the driver is hacked to be slightly laggy.

Scrolling performances with fps uncap

Hi guys..i just want to open a discussion here related to x10's scrolling behaviour.
So, everybody know that with fps uncap we are able to reach 54-55 fps in 2d graphic. This means a faster response of the phone to human interactions..so faster animations,faster "finger following behaviour" ecc..
But i also noticed that scrolling quality seems worse..it's faster than before but seems that during the scroll phone loose some frames..the result is a non smooth and fluid scrool..but a nervous one..i saw it in particular scroolling between may thread using xda app!! I'm trying to use different roms and custom kernels and different cpu governor/io schedulers/cpu frequencys..but i think that is something over!! So is it possible that fps uncap is causing some "glitching" during scrolls and cause the phone to looses frames?maybe if anyone know a way to set a custom fps cap(ex. 45 fps)..we can prove if scrool can be affected!! I'm very interested in finding a way to improve x10 touchscreen behaviour..yes i know that the essential problem is the bad combination "older gpu-high resolution" but i think that there is something else..maybe a bad SE optimization of touch libs but these are deep problem and only devs can make something. So..i'll much appreciated who reply with his experience and impressions..
P.s: pps don't tell me.." my phone is faster..no problem..ect.." ..i know that the phone is faster now (thanks to our awesome devs) but this a different problem..
I hope that someone can explain me some reasons about that!

Has to do with the display's refresh rate which is, if I am not mistaken, 30 Hz.
And that's why the 30 fps cap was there to begin with.
45-50 fps work quite good, but in order for the graphical glitches you mention
to be eliminated we have to figure out a way to increase refresh rate
(and possibly burn out our screens...! )

You mean the refresh rate?
It's hardware related for sure.
In order to tweak it, I believe we need the drivers for the display chipset,
so it's not related to SE directly.

Uhmmm...
I sense you are searching for an easy way to do this,
but unfortunately there isn't any.
Think of it this way: it's like trying to mess with the refresh rate of your TV.
It's not as easy as editing a system file.

Yes i know..you are right..but now you killed me!!! i can't think that other cheaper device with cheaper hw can have better touch compared to x10's!!

Well, there are certainly better phones out there,
some might even be cheaper than the X10.
What can you do?

I just hate the fact that android don't support gpu accelleration..and that thing is a big deal..and moreover..we are stuck with refresh rate..at this point i think that it will be better to have a little less fps..in order to have a better quality scroll..but also this solution is not possible at the moment and seems that i'm the only preoccupied by this issue!! I know..now i'm spamming a little bit..but it is a lot of time that i'm trying to catch attention regarding this problem!!

[Q] 3D performance increse

Hi, how can i increase the 3d performance of my x10 without overclocking or changing my rom? i already installed the fps uncap but i dont know if this just works for 2d or not.....
Isnt that what chainfire 3d does? Its a meeker app (requires root I think)
Edit: market, not meeker.
Sent from my X10 using XDA
I dont know this tool, but i now read some reviews and there is just one guy with a x10 who wrote one, and he reportet that (maybe just some) games don't work for him (i dont know if they worked before), but i really dont want to screw anything up, also there is a warning that some devices may not be able to boot after the install..........the x10 isnt on the list of tested phones either
Its due to our device being old and not having much in the way of 3d performance. What is it for? Gaming?
Edit: also, just to add, we xperia x10 owners have the advantage of having a phone which is very difficult to "brick" (due to flashtool). We can always really flash stock firmware, hence, if chainfire did anything to ur device it is still reversible/fixable

I tried it many times, & it always worked! I'm sure it will work for u too...
Btw, yes it will boot (I tested it )
And how much is the performance increased?? Will i see a difference in the timescape app for example?
No don't think so I think it is to do mostly with gaming. Why is timescape laggy for u?
Sent from my X10 using XDA
Well, yeah its just not smooth, its a bit slow and a bit laggy.......both the widget on the homescreen and the actual timescape app, except of timescape pretty much everything runns smooth now after i installed the fps uncap........so how do i get timescape (widget and actual app) to run smooth? Thats what i want, i dont really care too much about the performance in 3d games, i've already tested tiki kart 3d, fruit slice and raging thunder 2 and all three run perfectly well and completely smooth, but not timescape (?), which is a bit weird because i think that those games need more performance than timescape....
So does anyone know how i can fix this and make timescape run smoothly?

You can use Chainfire 3D root, but it affects other games, it will run Tegra 2/3 Games such as Shadowgun but will affect games like little empire etc.

Use wolfbreaks ROM if your on Unlocked bl use Dooms Max OC and just drop the voltage a slight amount using No frills, i dont suggest keeping at this can burn ur CPU, and also play in charge, 3D games will kill ur battery

[Q] Xperia Mini overheating problem still there?

Hey guys, I'd like to know if the problem with the overheating still exists. Isn't it fixed already with the official software upgrade of the phone?

No SE solved the problem ( with the hardware not with the software) i have xperia mini & using it for hardcore gaming but the phone never got heated ( just a slight 2-4 degree sometimes while charging but it normal)
I used GB & ICS in this phone but no heating problem.

So if I buy the phone now and upgrade it to the last version (will not be rooted) will it be ok?

What about the performance? They say it gets crappy, even though it's hard for me to believe when the phone have 1GHz processor.....

No i think the performance should be much better than before as the heated CPU can't give lag less experience!!
Now the phone is much better so the performance is excellent.Mini & Pro has a advantage as they both have low resolution so they can perform better than RAY,ARC
Believe me even playing ASPHALT-6 For hours in my mini,the phone is't giving me a single lag.
Also the ICS is also working Better than GB (Expect games) the application starting & loading is like INSTANT

Honestly, I found the ICS experience to be a breeze. The performance on Stock might be a touch laggy but almost un-noticeable.

Bro did you make a Factory DATA Reset after flashing ROM?
If not then do it,it will help.
I'm not on ICS but i 'd used it for a month a not a single lag even!
Even my application were starting INSTANT games loading is faster than on GB
problem with xperia mini cm9
hey friends,
i have xperia mini running cyanogen9 & the problem irritates me too.
i have been to stock rom & cm7 before too & the same overheating>auto touches of menu/back buttons remained.
i have tried Gscript method but didnt work (on cm7)/nor working now.
it keeps saying that fwloader not found & the phone restarts!
PLEASE help me get out of this as where i live is a hot place & the problem gets frequent.
for ur info, the phone is rooted & the bootloader is also unlocked.
thanks in advance!
I have two minis, first one had overheating problem with the back button and I used the script to fix it. Eventually this minis touchscreen died (possible related to the OH heat issue or maybe not).
The second mini i bought about 4 weeks ago didnt have this issue, so yes, sony fixed this at the factory

Play games at 2x -4x speed

Hey is there a way to speed up the os, or just games.. I mean like making the game to run at 2x-4x speed so you dont need to wait you know, this might break a few games? If it, yeah but is there any way to do that? Im on rooted 5.1.1 unlockd bl, xperia z5 premium. Soo is there a way? Thx!
