Hey, just wondering if there are any apps out that actually utilize both cores?

MULTI-TASKING. Apps are too simple for the most part, the number of cores is for multi-tasking.
Not until Ice Cream Sandwich comes out.
it that much of a difference from one to dualc core???

Gingerbread can't manage the threads/cores manually.. Ice Cream sandwich i'm assuming will start doing this.

I was messing around with Quadrant yesterday and looked at the system info selection after running the app a couple of times. I noticed that Quadrant only recognizes the Droid Bionic as having a single core, does anyone know why that would be.
Cause Quadrant is dumb, and useless, and is only optimized for one core.
That being said, I still try to get higher scores each time....
H obey comb is the only android is which currently recoginizes and uses both cores.
ICS is bringing multicore and multiple thread support.
OMAP4 was chosen on nexus prime because it is the only multiple hread processor on the market.

Interested in keeping this thread alive to see if there is a benchmark program for our Dual Core machines.
smartbench is designed for multi-core

I've read Quadrant only recognizes the Xoom's dual core processor at this time. I'm not confident in the source, so feel free to investigate further.

Did you not read my last post.
Dual core implementation is a limitation of gingerbread.
Honeycomb is the only android OS that allows apps to use both cores.
ICS is sopose to bring that feature to smartphones.

Aka I have a dual core processor phone that only uses 1 core due to the OS.....awesome. Going to have to research that a bit.
Does anyone use the task manager that comes default on droid 3? Anyone just use advanced task killer? Just wondering because the one that comes default has an auto kill list and wondering if thats safe to use with all the roms that get rid of some bloatware and all the changes that modify our phones. just want some of your thoughts/opinions. Thank you

Huh?

This is a perfectly reasonable question to ask. A BUILT IN task manager on our phone? New roms and modifications --> more development in the future--> can lead to problems. Just want peoples thoughts and opinions on what they use, if this is safe etc. If you dont like this post or think its stupid then you dont reply its that simple.

It is a good question. I was under the impression that all task killers were bad. From reading other forums I came to the conclusion that android should be left alone to manage tasks on its own, and killing tasks would just cause android to restart them, which would end up causing more cpu and lead to worse battery life.
I have never tested it myself, though.

Android manages RAM on its own efficiently since 2.2. Task killers actually cause more battery loss and cpu strain as stated above.

So i take it you dont use any task killers? Lol

If you want to improve it all you got to do if you are rooted is to download Autokiller and set a higher preset. I like Strict.

CoreControl
This application will allow you to control how many cores are active on your phone!
Is your One X getting a little hot or is the battery running out a little too quick? This application attempts to solve these problems by allowing you to disable some of the processor's cores!

Hello, community
I've got a Galaxy S and I'm running 4.1.2 Jellybean. I'm thinking of going back to Gingerbread and I'm wondering if you have any links to a good and stable GB ROM with very good battery life? that would be great. Preferably one that takes skins and looks like ICS or JB.
Thank you, :good:
Personally I find Mandana rom to be very satisfying in terms of speed, battery and stability. Haven't had once single random reboot of fc since flashing it 1 month ago.

I'm new at this, so excuse any mistakes. I thought I was doing it right.

Why do you want to go back? I see no reason to it, cause battery is much better than on gingerbread, cause Cm10 can use gpu to render the ui, so CPU is not at full frequency all the time, it can rest while gpu is working hard
One more reason to stay at Cm10 the compatibility, cause a few apps now only support ice cream sandwich and higher

I'm still on 4.1.2 I've bought a new Anker battery which is slightly of larger capacity and that has made a big difference. So far the only thing missing is mutt good old Samsung fm radio
Thanks!

Someone just messaged me this "fix" for android lag
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35971545&postcount=20669
I personally haven't noticed any lag but thought it might be worth sharing here.
sorry if its already been shared
I don't really notice a difference.
The typical Android hiccups are still there.

What's lag?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't experience any lag at all from this device (and didn't on my S2 running Cyanogenmod for that matter either).
No lag to report on the Nexus 4... But interesting read nonetheless. Might use it on the Galaxy S2 (Which DOES lag, even though some say it doesn't. Compare both N4 and S2 side by side... It's painful to watch)
Is this like jet lag?
Who Lag?
More like turbo lag
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No lag here on this badboy!
The lag is from the way Android was designed originally. Not all apps are even optimized for the platform and others are quick ports from other platforms. Also they are still lacking with hardware to software optimizations.

The're some apps which are lagging. But the Nexus4 itself? Bullsh**!!!
Smoothest Android phone ever (just compare to the Note 2, this phone lags!)

Agreed. It may be the applications that lag but not the system itself. I have yet to see a hiccup when browsing through my Nexus.

There are some pretty awful frame drops when using the device in landscape, especially in the app drawer. I wonder if this fixes that.

Don't lie.
The Nexus 4 might be the smoothest Android device, but it is still lagging compared to other systems like iOS or WP 7/8

Compared to my iPhone 4 the N4's browser is like internet explorer vs chrome.
Sounds like snake oil. Androids remaining lag is too deeply rooted to be squashed with some shell code parlor trick. Android gives content fetching more priority than rendering the UI, it's something that Google has to take care of by rewriting the framework. Ios does this beautifully btw, it doesn't need 4 cores for fluid scrolling and even with 4 cores nexus can't touch it ... yet.
