can we somehow, upgrade our version of OpenGL ES-CM 1.1 to OpenGL ES 2.0 ...
cause i found this ..
http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/w.../03/qualcomm-mdp-msm-8660-1-5-ghz-550x366.png
and as you can see, our Optimus One is tested using openGL 2.0, and somehow i think its not a bad score.. And I'm pretty sure, our adreno 200 supports OpenGL
Also I read some threads, (I can't find them at the moment) about a developer, who succesfully applied that on nexus one ...
It would be cool to tweak our adreno 200 gpu. I did some research and it seems that there are some tweaks that could be done, including the upgrade you talk about.
Just that someone have to deal with this, and the overall performance wouldn't justify the effort...
Well if there is a small benefit, it should be done... but as I'm a noob when it comes to android, i just wanted to ask the seniors, if it can be done, theoretically and practically, and of course, arose their will to maybe try doing that

Hello, I saw a some information on a Norwegian site about the new HTC Dream, with a new processor, the MSM7201A, same as the touch pro.
If so, when somebody dumps a the andriod for the Dream, isn't that fearly "easy" to port, since they have the same processor?

Proper processing
Like most newer advanced smart phones, Dream has been a processor with high-Clock. 528 MHz processor that provides the type of chipset Qualcomm MSM7201A. This is the same chipset that's in the HTC Touch Pro and Touch HD. ADP1 has 192 MB of memory available to the user.

Can somebody tell me if I'm stupid or confire the facts?
Fraction
Even though it has the same processor, the hardware is still different, so while it's fairly easy, you still need to have that in mind when trying to port/make drivers work.

Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone here has some information about wether the Hero has drivers for the gfx chip or not? Have HTC AGAIN just left out the drivers so that the CPU is handling all the work? If so, are there any chance that some other devices out there with the same hardware AND the drivers in place, could be used to fuel our beloved Hero?
I personaly don't think the Hero has support for 3D in hardware (through the gfx chip) as it is today. That's why it is slightly sluggish in operation compared to some other devices out there.

It is 3D accelerated. If in doubt, download Neocore from the Market which is a Qualcomm demo of the 3D acceleration on the MSM7200A that powers the Hero. Alternatively, try Armadillo Roll which is a full game.

Thanks for your reply Dave..
Altough I couldn't find the neocore on the market, I've seen a youtube video of it.
So it looks like the gfx chip is used and for that I am releived
BUT I have to say that this is also possible with just a CPU doing all the calculation in software, although I don't think our Hero's CPU could do that this fast, so I'm convinced
I can't seem to find neocore in the market. (I even used the barcode). Is this exclusive to some markets?
Looks like it has been removed for some reason, but it can only have been fairly recently as I installed it back in September. Search for Armadillo Roll instead as it is a full game and is written by the same company that wrote the Neocore demo.
I also notice that if you search RapidShare for NEOCORE.APK, it comes up, but I've no idea if it is real or not. I'd be inclined to make a Nandroid backup before trying to install it just in case.

noticed OpenGL ES 2.0 is a requirement to run the recently released game angry birds, i can still run it but have problems with the graphics. was thinking that if OpenGL ES 2.0 could be used on the eris then those problems would stop. i know nothing about how it actually works but was just curious if it could happen. thanks.
I'm curious about this too...
Does anyone know? I spent a while wading through Google, but I can't find any info. It would be nice to have the textures in Angry Birds. I've had to look up cheats for a few levels because I couldn't tell where the platforms were!
Possibly but if the Q3Dimension GPU in our phone doesn't have the hardware to support OpenGL 2 features the would have to be emulated via software and would be tossed back on to the ARM processor potentially making things worse.

Alright I know that the Evo Shift hasn't come out yet but the rom was leaked, right? So what are the chances it would work on the Rhodium to replace Windows. Of course hardware wise the shift is faster but the Rhodium should be able to handle it and it can be overclocked.
I was going to buy a Evo or an Epic but decided to wait heared rumors of phones coming out this year with dual cpu's and I'd rather have a Evo (4.3") with a slide out keyboard and dual cpu (if they do that).
I have run the Android off the SD card but it isn't great. It is good but it would be better if it was a true rom replacement for Windows. I love the keyboard (I believe it is the best slide out keyboard out there) and the tilt (for my kids when we are out and me as well).
Well hope it is possible if not I will just stay with Windows until something better comes along. Good luck to anyone that works on it I have a 2 Sprint Touch Pro2's so I can test on one of them if anyone needs a tester.

Dude... the Evo Shift has significantly different hardware. It does the RHOD no good whatsoever...

This statement makes me think you don't really know what you're talking about, you're just making assumptions. It doesn't work like this in the real world, sorry dude.
I honestly laughed out loud.
Sorry for my stupidity. The Overclock comment maybe I should have clarified. Under Project Android they have a download [Android v2.2 Froyo (FRX00B) 700MHz]. Now as for overclocking the Rhodium you can with Msm7kCpuSpeed but it is not safe. So don't give me crap about overclocking.
Now on to comparing the 2 phones (not all the specs):

Now if I missed anything important please do tell. As I see it the thing that would hold it back would be the Processor, Ram & Rom. If that is the case then a simple "no not possible" would have been fine. Looking at pictures & videos the Evo Shift looks alot like the Rhodium. I am not saying they are the same just saying they look alike.
If it does happen then great if not then that is fine too. Was just wondering if it is possible.

Remember, the processor, RAM, and ROM are the basics of what make up the "computer" part of the device. They are possibly manufactured by the same company (usually with parts imported from different companies), but things like instruction sets, etc could be and usually are very different. Also, the capacitive touch screen will create huge differences as well.
The 7600 is ARMv6, the 7630 is ARMv7 (those are the instruction sets I mentioned). They also have completely different cores, as well. Really, the only things they have in common are similar names and RISC structure.
Thank you! That is all I was looking for. I was hoping it was possible. I figured that would have been it but the that gets me is (I know nothing of writing software) it's not even possible of using the Evo Shift rom as a base. Again if it has alll to do with the processor, ram & rom I understand. But looking at computers for example you put windows xp on a 366mhz computer with 256mhz of ram & have a 500gb ide drive. I runs
Sorry for not finishing doing this off my Rhodium.
It would run slow but it runs. I know there is a big difference between a desk pc & a Smartphone. I am just saying people have rewrote OS's to work on different things. How about running Rhobuntu on the Rhodium? I haven't done it but it has been done.
I am not trying to start any kind of fight or problems was just wondering. I do thank you for the info. I am just learning about alot of stuff. I have flashed my phone & others many times. I am working on rooting & flashing a Samsung Moment now (trying to decided which rom to flash). Currently I am runniing NRGZ28 Energy rom (released 1/6/2010).
Thanks again.
If your question is whether or not a really good or group of really good coders could get it ported, the answer would be "most likely." The point of the answer, though, was it would have to start from ground up. There isn't a whole lot that could be taken from what's currently written for the Rhodium.
The Rhodium has run other software that was not meant for it. It is a matter of writing different drivers, not whether the hardware is there or not.
What's so awesome about the Evo Shift ROM that we don't already have? What is it about it that makes you want it ported?
Note: If you answer "this or that isn't working on with xdandroid" - it is because we don't have drivers for it. The hardware differences between the Evo Shift and Rhodium may be minor on paper, but in reality, they are going to be significantly different in terms of driver compatibility. Just look at all the hardware differences between various Rhodiums the xdandroid team has had to deal with that aren't visible to end users.
Things I would expect:
1) Completely different panel
2) Completely different GPS RPC API (Note: This is probably more dependent on the radio ROM than the hardware itself, but still - it would almost surely be significantly different.)
3) Probably a completely different wifi chipset
4) Probably a completely different bluetooth chipset
5) Completely different camera
I agree with your statement about holding out for a dual core evo shift as that would be the ideal next fone for me too
But as regards your query . . .evo shift is android right? And you do kno we havnt even perfected Basic Nand yet (good work being don't but not their yet) its not a case of ripping the rom changing a few things BAm! Flash it on and bobs your uncle its far from that Even if the device had the same specs. But regarding the specs you mentioned about the rhodium vs the evo. . .that is a pretty huge difference hardware wise even if you take overcloking into account(which will suk the battery dry)
For example take the huawei, iv heard it has close on identical specs to the rhodium family devices (528 processor) and it runs android froyo . . . . But that rom couldn't be just ripped and stuk on the touch pro. A port was made and after a lot of work it was got running (over on neopeek), But it wasn't Nand at all. It was run from sd card (which is the best method atm)
So in short could we get it running on tp2? Yes . . . .But it would NOT be off nand. And would it be worth the time and effort? No. . . . .because even after all the work I can almost garentee that it won't run as well as the huawei rom or other ported fone firmwares due to the fact of hardware differences
Hi all,
I have been developing a small android app which is sort of a reader for results coming from a desktop application. Some of these results are in the shape of a 3-dimensional structure made of a number of basic geometries, which I have been generating using a library which I coded in C++ using OpenSceneGraph and compiled with NDK. I have tested my app on both my HTC 3D EVO (before on stock rom, then on a few gingerbread custom ROMS and finally on a few ICS roms too) and also on a crappy 7'' chinese tablet which I bought really cheap a while ago. This tablet has a pretty basic AllWinnerTech A10 single core 1GHz processor, 512 Mb RAM and a Mali 400 GPU. So nothing fancy at all. However in all my tests I get about 2 to 3 times as many FPS from the tablet compared to the EVO. The structure can be moved, zoomed in and out much more smoothly. Remarkably so!
Am I missing something obvious here? Is there a "turn on graphics acceleration, you idiot!" button which I have not found yet? I mean, just in terms of specs I would have expected the EVO to run circles around that tablet.
Has anyone got any idea?
Cheers.
Have you tried forcing HW acceleration threw your build prop to see if makes a difference on your setup??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
debug.sf.hw = 1 already. anything else in the build.prop file that may improve this? Could it be a drivers issue, or is it just me expecting more that I should from this phone?
Are you hitting the frame limit cap ?
what would the value of this cap be? I barely go above 15-20fps on the smallest structures. anyway, don't get me wrong: I can live with it.
It was just curiosity, because I expected much better performance from the EVO. and so I was wondering where/what is the bottle neck
From what I understand HTC shipped the EVO 3D with terrible drivers, I think that they fixed this problem with the ICS update. With these drivers the Adreno 220 is able to surpass the Mali 400 mp4 (galaxy s2 version) in some situations.
