I have looked all over but can't seem to find a specific answer to this question. Does the latest build of CM have hardware acceleration? I know full hardware acceleration is not possible because Nvidia is withholding drivers from us. I have read that the CM team put together "partial hardware acceleration." What exactly does this mean? Thanks for the answers.
As far as I know, no. In fact, its one of the reasons I'm considering a throwback to Froyo, as it is the only place to find 100% acceleration.

is there a CM6 ROM with full acceleration or you mean stock tnt?

From what I gather, from reading other posts, the CM team was able to "accelerate the hardware" without "hardware acceleration" In other words, they were able to overclock to the point where the system would accelerate the video hardware. Think of it in terms of Windows, you can allocate more of the system memory to "push" certain aspects, be it video, cpu, etc. The problem with this is that to gain the "hardware acceleration" they needed to lose performance somewhere else.

He means any froyo rom. CM is a gingerbread based rom. Calkulin/Clemsyn, Brilliant Corners/Vegan 5.1.1, TNT Lite/Mountain Laurel, Gadam/Century eyes...take your pick, there are lots of Froyo roms out there. The Froyo roms are the only ones that will have 100% video hardware acceleration, because it is the only OS that NVidea provides drivers for.
i use beastly's rom, its non tnt, but is closest to stock that i have seen. not cm6.

CM just means Cyanogen Mod, CM6.x is Froyo, CM7.x is Gingerbread.
I was asking if there is a CM6.x ROM with working hw acceleration and basically asking if the limitation was the OS version, or the ROM, meaning you had to use a TnT variant which had built in drivers.
Since you list Vegan as one of the ones that has it (which is not TnT) then I have to assume a CM6.x ROM would also have working hw acceleration, is this correct?
edit: The reason I want CM so bad is because it is the only ROM where netflix works, so I could not only have hw acceleration but also netflix streaming in the same ROM.

Many people (myself included) have been complaining about this very problem for weeks (if not longer). Netflix only works 100% with CM7.03, so far. Which is Gingerbread. Hardware acceleration has only been fully enabled on Froyo roms.
You can get netflix "half working" with other roms using various patches, which basically will enable it to work, but there will be video artifact problems (big green line through video, colors shifted position ie. red and greens don't line up, etc). Vegan Rom Gingerbread edition can be hacked to work with it as well, however after you basically replace a bunch of libraries with the ones used on Cm7.03, which all just goes back to the following: Netflix really only works on CM7.03.
I'm currently using that rom exclusively because of netflix support, however the jittery performance I'm experiencing elsewhere (like, even opening the app drawer) is driving me crazy. I know the Tegra 2 shouldn't stutter like that.
Having real, bonafide Gingerbread on this device would be a g0dsend, as far as I'm concerned- not only would netflix, etc, work perfectly fine with full hardware acceleration, but also the new Skype video chat.

I've been having problems with netflix on CM7.1, can you point me to the exact ROM you're using?
actually, is there even a CM6.x ROM for the gTab? If not, why not?

On 7.1, I think you need to edit your build prop to make the app think you're an htc device or something.
On 7.0.3, it just worked out of the box.
apologies, I hadn't realized that there was a froyo version of CM...I've only ever known the GB one for the G-Tablet. I've never used it, however, because frankly (and my opinion is known on this) Netflix itself, is not worth having a specific rom, JUST to run it.
WHat REALLY needs to be done is people putting pressure on Netflix to develop a Froyo version of their app. When the app first came out, I read that they were simply testing the waters with the version(s) that were released, and that future development would be based on those reactions. Perhaps there is a way to contact NEtflix, explain your situation, and try to convince them to develop an app tat does work with the tegra 2 hardware and froyo OS.
Rather than modifying your firmware to work with the app, has anyone attempted to modify the app to work with the firmware? I know, personally, I've had problems running most popcap game releases. I'm not going to start messing with my firmware ot play Chuzzle, though...I'll just wait until Popcap releases versions/updates that work better. (oh, and ofr me, the entertainment value of Chuzzle and Netflix are basically the same, lol)
Thanks for the reply's. Now all we need is viewsonic to push nvidia to release the 2.3+drivers...
OK so i was going to log into google on a computer to access Play and I saw the ad for the Nexus 7 and I read more about it and learned that it will come with android 4.1 and wanted to see if the Nook Tablet will have that abilty since the hardware specs are relatively close together. What I would like to know is if it will be coming out in CM9 for Nook Tablet or simply in a whole new CM or if it will come out at all? Thanks if you devs can let me know or if you guys will need to get a Nexus 7 first to see if you can and then just keep me updated from there.

The hardware spec aren't actually that close. We may see something, but I wouldn't expect anything yet. Keep in mind the source hasn't been released so no one can really work with it until then. Watch the dev section and maybe you'll see it pop up. Still there is work to be done before ICS is even fully functioning.
The hardware specs are not really that close at all. The Nexus 7 has Tegra 3, as the Nook has OMAP4430. Only thing similar is the IPS screen, which really don't share that many bonds.
Jelly Beans source will be released mid July.
Until then nothing can be done to have it on any platform minus leaked GNex.
And mamifsidtect having the device have nothing to do with developing, for that source code is needed.
Jelly Bean is more that doable on our platform, we just need more developers for faster porting.
Now that we've seen that the Kindle Fire is getting Jelly Bean...does anybody still consider it impossible to port 4.1 to the Nook Tablet? (Kidle Fire's specs are actually quite close if not the same as the NT)
Did you look at the thread right below this one? Or check the Development subforum? At all? Haha it's here!

Ubuntu for phones uses Android as its base, so does that mean features that are broken in ICS and JB builds would still be broken in UFP?
Not really. I've spent a lot of time with these as I hope to bring it to the Atrix. But it's not based off those builds, In the video he describes that it is ment to be compatible with any devices that run android. It is actually built off their operating system simmilar to windows 8 and windows 8 RT. It will be released for the samsung galaxy nexus. It will function similar to how their OS runs on computers, where it comes with one OS, but it will be compatible with another. Ubuntu Phone will hopefully be able to run on devices that run android. meaning that as long as you don't have an iphone, or windows phone, you should be able to run it. Which to me is really exciting as I see a lot of promise with this OS, especially along side our lapdocks
That would be amazing if we could get a full supported ubuntu for the atrix. Im looking to reutilize mine (despite its broken digitizer)

Unfortunately, almost nothing stated in here is accurate.
The only Android dependency is the Android Kernel. So any issues we have, would still exist in Ubuntu for Phones.
I do hope the Ubunutu OS will be able to run on my atrix 4g. But yes, all android issues will exist if we have to stick with the atrix 4g kernal.
IF ported Galaxy R 3.x.x kernel gonna fully working before late Q4 2013, I assume, ubuntu for android will working flawlessly on our atrix
Hello.
I've recently begun a school project where we're able to use the DevKit8000, and since it runs Linux, i thought about putting Android on it instead and using self built apps with it.
I've tried to google around a bit, but haven't found confirmation that it can work all that well (found a video with a ICS port that was SUUUUPER laggy), so i'm hoping someone here on this great forum could help me out
Optimally i'd like the highest version of Android that can run semi well, so perhaps 2.1 if i'm lucky? Maybe only 1.6 though..
Well I got excited when I saw XBMC on android a week ago and I know its been out for awhile but it does not load on my Google TV (Sony GSZ-GT1) surprise surprise. Nothing ever loads on this.
My question is though, I see that it works on almost any android that is above 4.0. I was thinking about buying a little cheap android stick from my Chinese friends over at DX but was curious if anyone saw an issue as to why it wouldn't run on a generic device? The device I am looking at is 4.2.2 so it should run without questions right?
