Even if you could, would you really want to?
The Droid 2 is 1GHZ, stock Touch is 400mhz, OC to 500mhz-ish
Animated stuff usually takes up CPU usage, so your phone would probably be slow/sluggish.
As cool as it looks, not sure if I would want that performance hit on my phone.

[Test][Tweak] Force HDPI images and better performance

Hi guys could some of you test this on your roms to see if it work or not i have tested and i will not tell you what i think because i don't want to plant a seed in you heads to fool you that it works or not i will ask you to post your thoughts
Installation use root explorer and goto your build.prop copy what you see below and past it into it once you have done that reboot your phone.
Code:
# Increase overall responsiveness
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
debug.composition.type=hdpi
hs.systemserver=16m
hs.app.process=16m
hs.su=8m
hs.app_process=16m
btw i got these setting out of this rom's build.prop

Thanks and hope to here you thoughts soon

What changes will did do to our phones???
is there a chance of stuffing up??

hmm what does it really do dont think you will say but cmon give some leeway cant really try now. choosing between froyo optimum 4.55 or aosp 4.2

ok guys this is what i think it does but im still researching
Increases touch performance
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
Forces HDPI icon/images if available
debug.composition.type=hdpi
Gives system binary's extra memory to run applications and superuser su file
hs.systemserver=16m
hs.app.process=16m
hs.su=8m
hs.app_process=16m
for me it seems to make my phone faster and more responsive.

yes for me too it seemd lil bit faster but hdpi pictures ? no changes maybe theyre not available

install a theme that has mdpi an hdpi support and see if the hdpi icons get used if your on a aosp rom you wont get the hdpi icons due to the framework only have mdpi one's

no xD i like froyo more but I often think of it.. but froyo works just much faster i think i will upgrade in some weeks but i guess i will return to utopia or optimum ;P

just wait for pcfighters rom to be more update to the same standard as mur4iks rom then update to that, that rom will become a beast in the optimus

How do i go to build.prop??
And what do i copy on to??
EDIT : I KNOW NOW!!!!

I didn't try them yet.
But, video.accelerate.hw=1 will make the phone use GPU for video playback. This should be the default in most devices. It will fail on ROMs with no GPU drivers.
Forcing HDPI themes onto a MDPI device is NOT a GOOD idea.
HDPI and MDPI refer to the pixel density of the screen. This is a hardware limitation. In other words 320x480 pixels on a 4.2' screen as in GT540 is MDPI. This will create some issues.
1) Performance hit. Images need resources to render. Larger the image and more the pixels, more the resources it needs. An MDPI device should handle MDPI fine but forcing HDPI on it is not. This is more or less like trying to play 720p HD video on our GT540.
2) MDPI is MDPI. HDPI is HDPI. HDPI images are larger and have more pixels(and so have more detail.) But, the MDPI display can only display select number of pixels. This means images would become larger than they should be.
ie on a 300dpi device, a square inch image needs root(300) pixels on each side. On a 100dpi device, a square inch needs 10 pixels on each side per inch. root(300) is larger than 10. In other words, a 1inch HDPI image will take more than 1 inch space on MDPI device.
3) HDPI to MDPI downscaling will not be efficient on a low-end phone.
So, if you want HDPI themes on a MDPI device, the best way is to port the theme. This shouldn't be hard. Extract apk. Edit XMLs and folders replacing hdpi with mdpi. Open up images in a good image editor and downscale them to relevant MDPI resolutions. Compile and resign apk. We are done. =D

I tried the tweak and i feel no difference. No HDPI icons as well as no performance boost. Using Swiftdroid 2.0 RC5

How can i try it with mdpi settings ?
bcoz gamevil games doesnt recognize my hvga screen and maybe this solve the problem

Ok i tried this now!!
Can;t really tell!!!

Yer .... non of these additions to build/system/default .prop will change performance on the devices
For example
debug.composition.type
is a flag for QC devices to set there composition type ... valid values are
cpu / gpu / c2d NOT hdpi mdpi ect
these will do nothing to affect device performance and any affect seen is just a placebo

GTA III 10 year anniversary successfully installed on SGM

I installed it and it was laggy so I installed chainfire 3d and it greatly improved. However its still quite laggy.
I'm running cm7.2.0 build GWK76 android 2.3.7 with 782mhz oc and have 8gb sd card

Meant to say does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can improve graphics performance so it runs smoothly?

"Ram options for gaming: cm settings - performance - minfree - and choose gaming"
This is something i read some days ago, I don't know if it really works because I don't use Cyanogenmod.

Yes i have smartboot kernel up to 782mhz and governor = performance
check threads on samsung galaxy mini development forum. there you will find ways to overclock your cpu. It all depends on whether you have custom or stock rom =)

done oc also upto 782

hey guys can you pleass link me to gta3, bcz i have dl it on a blog,but it's a ripped fil with no sound.....

You guys are certified idiots... buy better phone and pay for it, or buy pc/ps2 version and play it the way it was meant to...

806MHz OC and Chainfire 3D - lags like hell. I have to agree with yackovsky, buy a better phone... but to be honest, even Galaxy S I9000 has problems running it decently, so better give up right away.

Its better to play on PC rather than searching buttons 240*320 resolution screen

DHD optimization works on IncS too???

Well it's a bit that this question is killing myself...
Every day on rom forum I read:
Performance optimization (DHD)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From the same rom of DHD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Port of DHD rom, (optimized dhd)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, now the only difference that I known between this 2 devices are:
()front camera
()100mb+ rom for dhd
()0.3 inch of screen (seems one is s-lcd the other lcd)
While cpu and cpu should be the same...
So, when I see that a rom has been optimized for dhd, I should be happy because will works well on IncS or I shoudn't give a damn because that optimizations are lost in the port or don't work?
Thank you.

AFAIK, most tweaks should work on IncS, including those in build.prop and some general tweak like SD readahead buffer. But if the tweak is related to the kernel, then we're out of luck.

OK, thank you; Now I can sleep quietly xD

Improve 2d performance?

Hi there.
Well I found a couple of threads on how to improve 3d graphics performance but nothing on 2d which is more important to me. So that's why Im asking you guys if anybody knows anything please do let me know even a tinny bit of help would be absolutely appreciated. Cheers !!!

does anybody have any idea ???

OC? or chainfire 3D?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2

cheers mate.
but I was thinking of something like tweaks or adreno libs or some sort of script or hardware acceleration or kernel stuff or... not chainfire or oc (overclocked to 980mhz, well it did make stuff a bit smoother but I can't keep it that high, phone will simply melt down, why should we even have to overclock, that just shows the weakness of the OS, 800mhz should be enough to process simple 2d stuff )
Something that could actually make a difference, I'm starting to get fed up with android, my ace originally runs at 800mhz but an iPhone 3gs runs at 600mhz and it doesn't lag as much (in fact it doesn't lag at all, it has less ram than ace)
thanks anyway

Find this line in build.prop
Debug.sf.hw=1
And change it to
#debug.sf.hw=1

already done that, dunno may be it makes things a bit smoother but I didn't notice it so much. thank you very much anyway

hmm.. you know that iphone 3GS has a PoverVR GPU ? i think it is better than our ace's GPU (adreno200) .. and their CPU is CortexA8 ! it is just underclocked..

I ran a benchmark (quadrant) on cm9 2d was like 65 fps and on cm7 its like 35. wtf. but the 3d (the 3D graphics) is as smooth as hell. what kinda thing is this that can process 3d but not 2d.

well I used to play games a lot I mean games like bia2 or nova even dead space, why can our ace process all these 3d stuff with no problem or with the least problems (i mean i wouldn't even expect ace to run dead space have you seen the graphics ??? ) but cant process simple 2d graphics.
I just wanna open up my app drawer and scroll between pages and have no lag i have tried different launchers (go, holo, qq ...) or the phone lags if I scroll down in the settings menu wtf there is literally nothing there but text and a black background.

umh, yea.. maybe software issue, btw this always happens in all roms ? mine doesnt seem so ? i think it is ur min CPU freq ? no ?
really, mine doesnt lag at all. some lags do occur when i run several apps at once (tapatalk, opera mini, sms, twitter) at the same time.

My governor is always set to performance. i've tried min 480 and 245 no dif.
performance doesn't really drain my battery and my phone doesn't get as hot as before, interactive works well too
well think about, cm9 65fps cm7 35fps. its definitely software issue our poor ace has good hardware but not the software it deserves.

what are your suggestions people ???? we gotta find a way.

well, here's my opinion about "our-mighty" lag problem.
1. android bellow 3.0(1.5 - 2.3.7) is not using hardware to render UI, it use software rendering instead, so this explain why iPhone 3G(128MB ram, 434Mhz ArmV6, PowerVR MBX<==same GPU as nokia N95) UI scrolling is waaayyy smoother than SGA. even galaxy note is doesnt as smooth as iPhone 3g.(stock GB firmware)
2. android 3.0 & 4.0 is render UI with GPU, BUT some kind of thread-that-response-for touch is not on the TOP PRIORITY, this explain why ICS is lag...specially for our device, and ICS from maclaw is still have some graphical glitches.
3. wanna smooth UI?? try JB alpha.....i think there is no solution for LAG, at least at the moment......

i think android wasnt that bad......well, compared to BB OS, and symbian
ICS alpha is not for daily use, at least, it will show you smoother UI, and you can wait for next release.
