Amazon Kindle for Android - very slow - GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps

I have not used Amazon Kindle for Android in a while, updated to latest version, and now it is slow as hell! I think it was much faster earlier!
Do you have the same experience? Any idea how to make it faster?
I will try to find older versions to see if they work faster. Any idea which one is fast enough?
Thanks!

Benefits of 2.1 over 1.5?

Just flashed Herodroid .3
Gotta say, good speed, seems nice. But what is there that 2.1 offers that 1.5 doesn't?
Besides the market, and a few icons here and there, are there any significant changes in 2.1? There is maps as well, correct? edit - excuse me, there is also the pinch to zoom out on the home screen to view all windows (which i find a little pointless, as I barely need 3 home screens to fill what I need. it is almost more hassle to have to use two hands to pinch out and view the screens than it is to just slide to the desired screen. sort of like polishing the worlds most perfect diamond? its fine, and imo was kind of a lame feature to introduce that perhaps they added to compensate for everything else 2.1 could have had in it? maybe im being too harsh, this is also a very long parentheses section.. just my 2 cents)
Maybe I have my panties in a bunch because I came from Mrbang's 1.5 super performance ROM and everything ran smooth as silk. My camera also doesn't make a freaky sound when I take pictures on 1.5 ROMS.
One of my biggest pet peaves right now is how Gameboid runs on 2.1 rom! Its just awful! So laggy!
Is this the roms fault or Gameboid?
I want my pokemon to run smoother than a ****ing GBA!
I just don't think jumping over to 2.1 is worth it for me just yet, I'm getting along just fine with 1.5
Plus, Manup456's theme looks ridiculously good.
First, all 2.1 roms are NOT offical ones, if they have problems I think you can either accept it or go away, instead of complaining about existing ones. It's you who's going to choose your rom, not others.
Your another question, benifits of 2.1. It's quite clear.
Google maps' lastest version and goggle ONLY run on 2.1 and new gmail/contact apps come with it. New Market, new HTC widgets. Compare them with your Gameboid, which one is more important.
Oh, and I'm quite sure many developers are working on 2.1 now, I think Gameboid will soon have a better performance.
(Why not try a psp as universal game machine? it run almost all previous game (including playstation1/Gameboy/FamilyComputer and so on..)according to me. Additionally Games drain your battery quite fast.)
I use the iPod Touch for gaming and music.
It's served me pretty well; games are often MUCH cheaper than the DS/PSP versions yet pack the same amounts of content; battery life is awesome and if I ever need the web on it I can simply wireless tether.
Lpts of BT profiles... file transfer... SPP... yummy...
For me, the biggest advantage of 2.1 is the improved browser. I find it much quicker than the 1.5 browser.
I'm back on 1.5 for now though, until the performance issues in 2.1 are fixed. We run on a very early kernel for 2.1, which isn't fully optimized yet. The official release should include a much faster kernel.

Whoa no way! THEY ARENT OFFICIAL!? I know lol..
2.1 has a few nifty things, but I think I'm going to wait for the official release, then use a ROM based off of that! I'm looking forward to the new kernel as well.
For now, gameboid is more important to me Only because I haven't beat Sapphire yet haha. I have a psp, but the convenience of having my phone all the time though is unbeatable MrBangs ROM I believe is incomparable to any other ROM out right now in terms of speed.

[Q] archos 101

hi all just a quick question about the archos 101 i just got mine in the post
is there a alternative rom that i can flash to it as i find the archos one quite laggy, if not what would happen if i installed the oxygen gingerbread one i have on my htc desire on it ?
thanks
Estevey
to solve the lag, install the latest firmware from archos.com
in settings/about device/powermanagement, set the cpu to overboost.
and install/use Zeam launcher.
you cant use a desire rom.

This is exactly what I did and it runs well for me. I still have some issues with it not coming out of standby after being left a while but for the most part this makes it an easy to use fun tablet. I am not that concerned with quadrant scores or creating some ultra powerful tablet. I was ready to throw it out when the firmware came out. Firmware + Zeam work excellent and now I use it everyday.
i did this still not as fast and smooth as a HTC desire which i thought it would be or better than
still happy with it and cant wait till some custom roms are released for it
would rooting it make any difference to the performance and running the ext4 on a sd card ?
I have an HTC Desire as well as my Archos 101.
The desire has more than double the ram of the 101, its bound to be more responsive
I think the 101 is very nippy to be honest once you set it on overboost and install Zeam. Also turning off live wallpapers and uninstalling (or not installing) voice search sped mine up a lot.
Give try to or maybe switch to.....
To all tablet lovers,
In fairness to you guys, I heard a lot of issues of the Archos 101. Since it has a single core processor. No wonder the performance is getting slow. Samsung has the same processor, but it has only 7" screen compare to 10". Nvidia Tegra 2 core is on rocks in the market tablets right now, aiming for the new OS (honeycomb). Give a try to Viewsonic Gtab...it worth for the price of 16Gb.
almost all release 'issues' with the 101 were sorted by the latest firmware update. Its now stable, pretty quick and great value for money.
the viewsonic is a good ptablet but the firmware sucks still, so im glad I went for the archos 101 to be honest.
I'd love a dual core tablet, and know that the gen8 archos tablets may never see android 2.3 let alone 3.0, but I bought the 101 knowing that it would run 2.2 and 99% of the apps out NOW, so I'm happy.
you cant get a better tablet for the money right now if you ask me.

+1 I love my 101!!!
well i have sorted mine out !
i did reinitialization of the device and installed no 3rd party applications (i think this was the main slow down) then i bumped the cpu to overdrive in the about in settings and the big one here that made all the difference was disabling the eye candy (animation) which makes no odds if your going to install zeam which i did and the market
i am now very happy with the archos 101 and have no complaints after hearing some of the horror stories with the china alternatives.
all i need to do now is find a key bored that i am happy with also a updated version on zeam and i will be chuffed to pices
Steve
have you tried swiftkey or thumb keyboard (set it to 10" tablet mode), both are great alternatives to the stock one.
swiftkey are releasing a tablet version of their keyboard soon as well.
you say you disabled the animation...? where did you do that specifically?
cheers.

I agree with you with NO questions, Stock OS is sucks! But there are 5 ROMS to choose (TnT, Zpad, Vegan, CM and Ubuntu) for you to tweak to get your Gtab into beast. Many of ARCHOS user tryinh to tweak too to get the tablet to its maximum performance right? Visit the forum once in Gtablet and you will see great good Developers and never ending supports.
to disable animations simply go to settings and select animation then no animation it relay makes a BIG difference to the device'

Am not trying to argue with you guys, but lets face the reality...My first choice is Archos 101, i've been waiting for more than a month for my order, but its no luck. In my opinion Archos company is delaying the shipment, till i cancelled my order. My question is WHY? Maybe they still trying to fix those issues? I observe at the Gtab forum, and read those supports, issues, etc...and what a good community of developers. Thats why i convinced to get the Gtablet. But still i gonna buy the Archos 101 once it available in market (retailers). Am still a fans of Archos, but what a shame, Gtablet is on the rocks right now. Technically wise and supports.
Try to visit this forum just once if you have time..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=844
I love the Archos too have the 101. In the beginning I had problems and had to reset it twice but now it's running good. My EVO has double the ram but this is a decent tablet for what I want. I just unchecked that animation thing to see if it makes a difference. Not even sure what it does. I also had to uninstall Volice Search it really slowed me down and messed me up. Yahoo Messenger and Video messed me up too. I had a couple other apps not work but playing Word Feud and Angry Birds is great on here. I use it to surf the web and do facebook mostly and get some of my emails. I am glad I bought it.
I read up on tablets before hand and at first considered the Gtab but I am not into rooting and all that don't know how. I also had an older Archos 605 MP3/Video player wifi from way back when I Pod Videos 1st came out and I really like Archos. I love having the market place on here and my calendar being synced.

Cyanogen - alpha v 2

Im looking to see some feedback from regular users who have attempted and are using the second alpha.
How usable is it really?
To be honest, webos, while is wonderful, with the lack of apps its quite not useable. i mean, i enjoy the pad, but it does not pull me to spend a lot of time with it like my smartphone did.
so.. How is android at this develoment stage?
Thanks
a few of the hardware features are better, but i stuck with A1 mainly because of the stability, and most of the problems is has can be corrected yourself using apps and doing some minor tweaks.
i did check it out, but from my own experience, A1 was better.
Currently, I spend more time in webOS because my TP is more of a toy right now. I don't need or use it for work. CM alpha for me has been rather stable, with only a minor WiFi glitch that is solved by turning off the radio, and turning it back on. All my usual apps run fine, with no more instability than on my phone. Hope this helps.
Sent from my very "non-stock" TP.
alpha 2.1 is MORE stable than alpha 1. They fixed some of the sleep issues (but it still has some) but most importantly,alpha 2 charges properly from the touchstone dock. compared to webos,alpha 1 is a tossup. the problem with webos is not the apps. The webos version that came on my touchpad wasterribly buggy alpha level software. The new version that just came out mayhelp that though. Alpha 2 inky opinion has an edge over webos (at least the version i was using) as a few of the most critical bugs are fixed. you WILL have to do some tweaking though to get it working more or less right. If you expect to throw cm7 inane have a perfect experience on first boot,your going to be dissapointed.
I haven't had any 'problems' with A2.1 - sometimes it doesn't want to resume from sleep after a long time but - whatever - it's an alpha build - the speed and usability of it far outweigh any minor problems it may still have
Haven't had to do any tweaking other than personal preferences (I use Launcher Pro instead of ADW) etc.....sync'd Titanium Backup from my phone to Dropbox and then sync'd it to my TouchPad and was able to restore all the apps/games etc from my phone.
Oh and it plays Plants vs Zombies really well too
I use alpha 2.1 as my daily driver for the touchpad. After several days with it, I nook has been given to my wife. I I have had no issues with this build and have had no problems with any apps I have placed on it. I boot into webos seldom as cm7 does everything I want to do. My latest quadrant score was 3561 running at 1.7 GHz with the governor set to performance. I would recommend this alpha to anyone who can find their way around a command line (for instillation). It can only get better from here.

make sure you use alpha 2.1 and not alpha 2a
in my experience it has been running great and has been running on my TP since release.

Do you have any issues rebooting to alpha 2? I have had to restore to alpha 1 twice in order to reboot to cm7 .
Weird thing is since my first time rebooting to web os from cm7, I could not reboot or flash alpha 1 or 2 without a boot loop.
Only thing that has worked is restoring alpha 1 ,which thankfully I had backed up, and then adding alpha 2.
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO.
Alpha 2.1 has been nothing but stellar for me. For an Alpha build, this is amazing!
Google Docs FCs on me. Oh well! I mainly use my TP for reading books (Kobo reader does an amazing job for .epub files).
Ive not had the sleep of death yet, i just use the wall charger and charges perfectly and my battery is amazing. Nothing to complain about so far.
Alpha 2.1 is superb, a couple of apps force closing but apart from that it is awesome...
It dual boots, so you will still have WebOS, if you dislike Android on your TP - remove it...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'd say it's very stable as a daily driver. I also get a few force closes here and there but nothing too debilitating.I've themed and downloaded multiple apps and they all breeze through pretty quickly. Emulators, YouTube HQ, Vevo HQ, all work pretty well. Ironically I had never opened my TouchPad until yesterday but the ten minutes I had to use it I hated WebOS. Seems ok but stuck and I hate the little dots when I press. Only thing I couldn't get to work was a 720p MKV on MVideoPlayer but I assume some sort of graphics drivers have yet to be ironed out and I can live without. WiFi works great and I was surprised that even the camera worked for Skype, etc. At $99 this is definitely the deal of the year for me. giving my Nook Color to my daughter.
Try mobo video player from the market. I have had very good results with various formats.BTW, the little dots on the screen in webos can be turned off in advanced settings.
Overall, cm7 a2.1 is stable and very fast. In answer to the question above on rebooting, I have not tried alpha 2. With alpha 2.1, I have never had any trouble switching between webos and cm7. Just remember to set the os you want to boot in the moboot settings when you first start up or boot and hold the volume up key to boot into webos.

Just loaded it last night finally after fighting with Win7 and drivers to get it installed, but so far its great. I am having a charging issue though, so still trying to figure that one out. The only app so far that hasn't worked is WeatherBug which I really miss, but I can live without if needed.
Can anyone tell me if the TP on CM7A2 can handle all the games on the android market? For example games from glusoft like NovaHD2.
Can it play hd videos using flash through the browser without a lot of lag(icefilms and such sites)
Im mostly going to be using it for gaming and video streaming
any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
most of those games require chainfire3D+plugins to run because they arent compatible with the stock drivers
id post the guide thread thats in rootz wiki but apparently its not allowed, but its easy enough to find, its on the 3rd or 4th page of the TP threads, called "Chainfire3D guide" or something like that

Nook Tablet Netflix app updated!

I used Netflix last night, and discovered a new interface. It looks to be the same as the recently updated iPad version, and I like it much better than the original interface.
Here is what it looks like, in case anyone wanted to see

It was pushed to coincide with the Xbox 360 winter update. I really like the new interface, but it does take some getting used to.
I liked the older one,was easier to use
That's the same version that is running on my NCs. Love the format.

Is an overclocked Touchpad running 4.0 faster than an IPAD 2?

In terms of browser speeds, time to open applications, google maps rendering speeds etc...is the Touchpad overclocked to 1.7 with CM9 running faster or not? thanks

I'll venture a guess here, and say no.
I've got a TP running GB, not overclocked. But GB and ICS are both still buggy as hell, which DQ's the TP in such a test.
If you're doing a speed test and you get FC's and reboots, IMO that should count for something.
I'm not trying to slam dev's here. I love the CM guys and everyone who's working so hard to give me Android goodness on the HPTP.
But seriously, do you think you could compare a $100 tablet running 3rd party open source ROMs and software to the leading market standard?!

Well, first reply not withstanding, I'm running Xrons 2.9.1 at 1.782GHz and it's as smooth as silk with no FCs, reboots or any other faults.
I had the opportunity of using an iPad and all I can tell you is that the iPad owner was looking a little sick when he tried mine!
I wouldn't swop what I have and when a stable fully working CM9 hits the streets it will only get better.
I've tested them side by side and while browsing Opera Mobile under XRON 2.9 @ 192mhz/1.5ghz (up threshhold @ 40%) the TP was about 80% as fast as the iPad 2 at general responsiveness (zooming, scrolling through pages on heavy sites), and a tie at loading pages - some loaded faster on the TP and vice versa.
I also tried the stock XRON browser, but it was too choppy and there was really no comparison.
Google Maps is much faster on the iPad 2 with less jumpiness and is overall just smoother.
Strangely, Google Earth feels much more fluid on the Touchpad with smoother zooming/panning and faster loading.
General responsiveness probably goes to the iPad 2, the home screen is just smoother and more responsive compared to every launcher I tried (VTL, ADW, SPB Shell 3D, Launcher Pro and a few others), and apps tend to open faster.
Netflix is much better on the iPad 2, video is sharper with less compression and scrolling is much smoother.. Not sure if it is playing HD but there is a noticeable difference for sure.
Things have changed quite a bit on ICS and it could be closer now.

It's an Alpha build. If it were in Beta, or out of Beta, I'd consider it. But there are certain implications associated with the Alpha stages of software builds.
iPad 2's GPU outright slays all android devices, so as far as UI you're not going to find a device that even comes close that's out right now, including the Transformer Prime /:
I've heard good things about the Nexus Tablet though.....
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
While I love my HP TouchPad I have to tell you that nothing can touch the current A5 CPU/GPU the iPad 2 uses. It's amazing to say the least. But the TouchPad is good for lots of other things
I've compared my TP (both WebOS and Alpha 3 CM7) to my cousin's iPad 2 and the browsing experience is much better on the iPad. But like sean said, if ICS were in beta or even out then it would be a close battle. I'm running an ICS beta on my Samsung Fascinate and it's the most beautiful rom I've ever played with. Hopefully the TP gets to that same level.
Its hard to compare since they are running 2 completely different operating systems and browsers. Chances are the iPad2 will be faster only because its running a stable OS (I'm not saying Android is unstable, just that its not OEM).
But with the Touchpad you get decent hardware for a lot cheaper and you can run CM.
I'm not really sure where comments like 'buggy as hell' are coming from or what kind of experience other people are having, or apparently not having with some people not having tried and based on assupmtion, but the CM9 runs really smooth for me. The only area where it doesn't is Flash based video, which is a known issue due to the current lack of hardware acceleration.
Alpha is just a word. Some developers are very cautious and prefer to keep things in alpha and beta stages as long as possible to ensure everything is working as it should while others will just push anything out the door.
CM9 seems to run faster on the whole and is a much more responsive experience for me than CM7. I really haven't had any major issues either.
Honestly, even though it's an 'alpha' I've had no problems. On the other hand, I've definitely had the experience of dealing with lots of problems for final release products that I've paid for.

I find the ICS browser on the Touchpad to be great. Its the first all around great browser I've used in Android in terms of scrolling experience, UI, etc.

I more or less agree.
I've had few major problems with CM9a0.5. I'd say it is at least as stable as CM7, and WiFi has actually been more stable for me compared to XRON/CM7 (although still not perfect). And of course the "tablet" experience of ICS is worlds ahead of GB.
The biggest downside to CM9 is the lack of video acceleration therefore lack of Netflix/Youtube HD and high bitrate 720p/1080p videos.

cm9 is just awsome. i wish i could get rid of the webOS part because it's a waste of space.
Friend at work as a Ipad2. Paid regular price for it. I took my TP in one day (with cm7) and again the other day (now with cm9). I think she feels rather foolish paying as much as she did and then seeing what I can all do with my $150 tablet...

Probably not. Given the level of effort required for installation, maintenance, and learning the more technical side of things, she'd most likely stick with the iPad.
I dont know your work friend, but that's my guess.
People naturally think that because you managed to get the TP up and running with ICS, that it was worthless getting an iPad. But those people most likely are the same one's that don't have the knowledge to really enjoy the TP, not to mention put the effort into keeping it that way. And at the current state (not even to Alpha 1), it's no comparison.
i payed less than $100 for my touchpad............it now has ICS, it's as fast as any tablet on the market, and has great developmental support. why the hell would i want to pay $500 for another tablet? it's not just ipad, i had tossed around the idea of getting a transformer prime for a while and probably would have one if they weren't so hard to get. then ics hit the touchpad and well the rest is history. i'm happy now. but that's just me and my "$100 fast as hell ICS tablet" talkin.
The thing most people don't understand is if it's this close to an ipad WITHOUT hardware acceleration. It'll straight blow an ipad 2 out of the water when we get it. ICS is more like iOS in that it has hardware accelerated ui. Android never offered that before, which is why we have compensated with faster and more powerful processors up until this point.
