Hey has anyone noticed if you run quadrant or any cpu monitor, it thinks you have only one core? Is this just mine?

They aren't optimized for dual-core devices like 99% of other apps.

I have the new leaked market. Is anyone else having problems seeing all games, for example gamelofts new game Green Farm... even the website version says these simple games are not compatible but the Thunderbolt is...
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App
I still have the standard market, and and only 7 Gameloft titles show up, and they don't the Green Farm. It may very well be that Gameloft has, once again, decided to start yanking their titles from the market for whatever reason. Honestly, that's the reason I haven't purchased a game from them... Plus I hear their support is pretty awful. It may not be your market, it may just be them... Btw, did you get the new market via OTA or a leaked apk?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App
Its not gameloft its the droid 3, I had a friend on a shift search right after me and both gameloft games I wanted showed up.
Leaked apk didn't know there was an ota out now

I have a Droid 3 and an iPod 4. The iOS versions are a LOT better performing, a lot cheaper and can be ported to other Apple device by the owner.
Gameloft's half hearted effort should be rewarded with no sales. At least until they publish in the market- just like they do for iTunes.
Could be due to the fact that it's not a Tegra 2 device. Most the HD games I've seen are advertised as optimized for the Tegra 2 processor. The Droid 3 is the first dual core device that isn't running on a Tegra 2 soc.

Not true, HTC/Sammy don't use no Tegra2, haven't you heard of the SGSII or Sensation or EVO 3D? The SGSII has a MALI/Exynos and the sensation uses the Dual SnapDraon with the Adreno[AMD] GPU. The reason some games aren't showing is due to something else, most likely the build.prop used in the Droid 3...My phone w/ the new market sees these games:
modern combat 2
asphalt adrenaline
order of chaos
gt racing
nova 2
green farm
platinum sol 3
My phone is a single core with a Snapdragon/Android205 and it can see these games, I don't know if your phone has 2.3.3+ which may or not be a req for those games. Excuse me, if I was a tad disorganized in my post.
You see green farm and gt racing on your droid 3?

I think you skimmed through my post? I have a MT4G, I was explaing a possibility for why the game wasn't showing for the Droid3, it's most likely the market thinks the app isn't compatible, with your Droid3.
https://market.android.com/apps/GAME
Go to that link, but log into Google account, find this farm game or whatever, and install it to the phone that you want it to go to, you should get a message that it's not compatible, due to something in the ROM you're using or the game doesn't support the D3 yet.
Yeah I did lol. Reason it is saying incompatible is because its made for tegra2 processors and the D3 sports an Omap processor

Look at this
It’s your farm; make it any way you want!
Available for:
HTC Incredible 2
HTC Desire (Bravo)
HTC Desire HD (Ace)
HTC Desire S
HTC Desire Z (G2, Vision)
Those are phones with Single-cores Qualcomm that are weaker than D3's OMAP...The game doesn't feature D3 support for now or any of the motorola devices yet.

So that's why I can't find Sprinkle (http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/2...-will-have-kal-el-support-in-the-near-future/)
Thought it was Tegra2.
B-)
Yup lol. Also just tested chainfire from market that allows rooted devices to be used as Tegra2 even when its not. Still didn't work for gamelofts game Backstab HD when testing

Does work for the well known game sprinkle though!

Has anyone tried to flash the razr deodexed rom to this phone yet. Are they identical as far as hardware goes? I'm tempted to try it

Different processor for starters. Also different gpu i believe.

The razr uses the same processor as the bionic, the OMAP 4430. It also has the same GPU as well.
The CPU on the razr has be overclocked to run at 1.2Ghz.
The galaxy nexus uses the OMAP 4460 which clocks at 1.5GHz and uses a slightly more powerful GPU than that the 4430 uses.
The nexus has been under locked to run at 1.2Ghz.
In short. The razr and bionic have the same processor and gpu, where they differ is at the kernel level.

Processor
From what I have read personally, the Razr has the 4460 as well as the Nexus. The Bionic has the 4430. I am pretty sure that is correct.
Sorry, Just an observation.

No, the Razr has a 4430
I heard 4460 as well, but i also dont have one. Id die though if it was another d2g scheme where they repackage a phone with 1 new option and re-release it as "special" if its the same phone only no removable battery. #Phuckthatfone

OMFG The galaxy nexus is the first phone released with 4460.
As for the RAZR...
The motorola site list the processor as 4430.
It was listed as 4460 on their site after the nexus premier but they changed it back and followed it up in the forums by stating they made a typo which was now corrected.
The teardown of the RAZR also reveals A 4430 CHIP.
IT IS NOT A 4460.

I hope this is possible for the Photon 4G, and by the way, the rom can be modified to work with the Bionic.
My last bionic (.2233 ICS leak) scored a 3032. Was in the same range consistently. I just placed an insurance claim. I'm now running the .232 leak and can't get over 2300... Any ideas what is causing the significantly lower scores?

check your clock speed. your old phone ws probly at 1.2ghz and now your new one sounds like its at 1.0
You're absolutely right. So newer phone runs slower? Any known fixes for this?

As far as I know it seems to be random. I dont think its specifically newer phones.
After a littlw research, I read that 1.2 ghz chips that failed testing for the razr where placed in the bionic since it was only set to run at 1 ghz but they overclock to the 1.2 if you have one of the failed razr chips.
What is the diferrence between armv7 rev1 and Armv7 rev2?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium HD app
Both are the same architecture, rev2 is an upgraded version of the rev1 chip. Sort of like the tegra 3 and the tegra 3+
They both belong to the same generation of chipsets, but may differ in chip size, die cast size, RAM management, voltage, K-value of materials used and so on

Not necessarily, two identical CPUs may differ enough so that one can be overclocked about 1Ghz while the other might be unstable at 100MHz overclock.

I dont know much about mobile processors but I assume it follows the same concept as Desktop processors. Lets assume the i5 2500k is Arm v7 rev1 while the i5 3570k is the Arm v7 rev2. Just cuz the i5 3570k is newer does not necessarily mean it will clock better or hold temperatures as well. Yes i do know the latter i5 is built with a smaller die size but thats not my point
To answer your question, it really comes down to luck on how well you can clock your processor.
'twas fun but heading to a phone I know will have better dev support in 6 days will have my Moto X! anyone else switching or thinking of switching? I only got the first because i won it in a contest lol!
