I think it would be pretty bad ass to see this built into a Galaxy Note ROM:

Best part: "Having said that, all the relevant code will be open-source, meaning that makers of custom Android ROMs should be able to include it in their work -- so long as the hardware is capable enough. You'll need a dual-core 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and USB and HDMI connectors."
Agreed, if you build I will flash

Seems like T-Mobile's Galaxy II S will be different from the other carriers. It'll be the fastest IIS out of all the other carriers. It comes with a dual core 1.5ghz Qualcomm APQ8060 processor. Same processor in our Touchpads, just overclocked? The AT&T & Sprint siblings will sport a slower Exynos processor.
Seems like the 64GB HP Touchpad White is clocked at 1.5ghz with the Qualcomm APQ8060 as well. Wonder why they downclocked the 16GB and 32GB.

1.) The Exynos processor is still faster.
2.) APQ8060 is actually underclocked on our devices for battery life. 1.5GHz is actually stock for the chip.
3.) Doubt this will help anything. The Puccini has the same processor as well.
The freshly released HTC Jetstream (10.1 inch tablet) Has the same processor as well.. However it runs Android 3.1, which doesn't have its source code published.
Without hijacking your thread, does anyone think the Jetstream rom opens a possibility for a port?

Hi hi hi,
I remember back when ICS wasn't out, it was said that dual-core phones weren't able to fulfill their full potential, because the OS (e.g. 2.3.6) only supported single core.
My question is about the new quad-core phones that are coming out. Does ICS support quad-core? If not, will they function as dual-core, or will they be faster? How much faster?
This is an important issue to take into concideration when thinking about buying a new phone..
Thanks!

I am not deep enough in android code to say whether android itself is capable of exploiting multicores cpus, but I can say two things that I saw myself.
#1 there are already apps for video playing that allow you to set how many cores they must use to reproduce full HD videos.
#2 if you run a chrooted Ubuntu with a single core, a dual core and a quad you'll notice a huge improvement in performance.
IMHO multicores are useful for videodecoding and heavy multitasking. On the other side, the performance gap between single and multicores cpus is not very significant when running a single application. It may depend a lot on how apps themselves are written and if they actually use the cores, more than on gingerbread or ics.
Which one is the best for community support (ROMs, mods, etc) and manufacturer support (accessories, drivers, etc)?
A pure Google Phone (Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus) or a phone that sold very well (Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III)?
Is it safe to buy a Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy SII now (solid hardware, going to survive at least two more years of updates) or is it better to wait for the next Nexus/buy the Galaxy SIII?
Maybe wait for an Android with 2GB of RAM to get better Ubuntu for Android support?
I ask this because I'm concerned about always being able to use the latest Android version, even if Google or the manufacturer doesn't release updates anymore (like the Nexus One that was abandoned, but received updates from the community because of its openness).
I have a HTC Desire Z now, and this phone is amazing, except for the lack of enough RAM to run apps and the lack of manufacturer support for getting drivers for the last Android updates.
What I really need is the best combo: community support + commercial support.
I'd like a phone with physical QWERTY keyboard, but seeing the options... I guess I will have to give up on that.
Thanks is advance!
Your best bet is a nexus. Most phones that require OEM or carrier updates will die out long before the nexus as you can pull the updates OS source code and build it for your device even if Google stops supporting it.

A Nexus will always have more community support, although the very popular galaxy line has good support also.
Thanks for your answers!
Talking about hardware, is it better to wait for the next Nexus or the Galaxy Nexus is good enough to survive at least a couple more years without performance issues? Is Dual Core + 1GB RAM the standard for the next devices?
Also, the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus have different processors and GPUs... which one is the best between them?
Galaxy Nexus:
CPU 1.2 GHz dual-core Texas Instrument OMAP4460 processor
GPU Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX540 GPU
Galaxy S II:
CPU 1.2 GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 4210 processor
GPU ARM Mali-400 GPU
Is there any website that did benchmark tests between both processors and GPUs?
Thanks!
I got around to looking at some pretty powerful mobile devices, and found that the Lenovo K900 is pretty darn excellent. Its Intel Atom processor can be overclocked to beyond 2.2 GHz, and it has dual cores too.
Here's a short overview of the device:
1.Intel Atom Z2580 Dual core 2.0Ghz
2. 2GB Ram (LPDDR2).
3.Android V4.2 (not really a big make or break on PS2 emulation, but whatever).
I know this is not powerful enough for ideal gaming, but isn't it possible to port PCSX2 to Android and supported libraries, and manage to get somewhat emulation going and some games at low FPS?
I don't see why not ... I have heard of people using PCSX2 under 2.5 GHz processors on Windows, single core, and it was arguably "playable" to some.
Assuming this is not the highest-end smartphone in the market but still has pretty good specs, wouldn't a device a bit more powerful than this one come close to taking the cake?
In short, I believe PS2 emulation could be done on some high-end smartphones (like this one) now, just not "good FPS/emulation" yet.
Any rebuttal? The S5 from Samsung should be arriving soon, and they will be even more powerful. Somebody should help me port PCSX2, or at least create an open, community project to do so. As time goes on, updates can be made for the more powerful hardware in time.
I want to make a port of android lolipop to my device (GT-9063T). This phone have only the stock 4.2.2 android and no custom roms.
The rom i`m getting as a base is the stock 5.1.1 update for Galaxy J1 Ace (J110M). The two devices have:
Dual sim support;
480x800 pixels
1.2 ghz, quad core processor
1 gb ram (the same tipe of ram too)
8gb internal memory.
Obs: There is more stuff, but i think the important ones are already here.
Are these devices similar enough so i can port the update more easily? If yes, what is the best thread you can link me to? I don't care about speed, i have the patience to spend a good time working on this.
Well, thank you guys for the attention
I'm not a developer but I believe in the end it boils down to similar processors
