[Q] Why is browsing so awful with nookie froyo??

Ive tried stock rom 1.1.0 with autonooter 3.0. Honeycomb v4 and nookie 0.6.8. All of them installed on the internal memory. Id like to keep nookie because of flash player but browsing with it is awfully frustrating. Ive used stock web browser and dolphin browser. Why is it like that? other apps such games run smooth but only web browsing is horrible

I've become a recent convert to Miren. It's the only browser that seems to play well with my stock 1.1 setup. It's fast and has a metric ton of settings. Dolphin mini is pretty good but it crashed on https for me.

Did you speed up the CPU? Is it a network problem. Mine seems to work fine. Is it slow for u?

Regarding https failure? Have no idea what's causing it. It happened after root, before and after OC. Tried two re-roots. No go. All I know is no browser I've tried works except Miren. Luckily, Miren is a very nice browser...

I'm using Dolphin HD on nookie froyo. It's not desktop smooth but its smooth enough. I'll have to try that other browser you mentioned to compare.

Now i have stock 1.1 and dolphing hd works really good much better than on nookie froyo. My question is because games work well on nookie but just browsing is so slow when scrolling or zooming

Have you tried skyfire?? It works great for me on nook 1.1 with autonooter 3.0

That is because games use the GPU to accelerate their GUIs, while the web browsers you mentioned only use CPU.
If you want GPU based web browsing, your only option on Android is Opera.

Browser lag is usually caused by flash plugins loading. If you set the plugin settings in Dolphin to "on demand", it'll make scrolling much smoother.
The reason you probably don't see this issue in eclair is there is no flash, so no plugins loading...

I didnt even install flash for the few minutes i tried it until i went back to stock

You shouldnt have had to, the 0.6.8 custom nookie froyo image already has flash 10.1 installed. You should have been prompted upon initial setup of Dolphin HD about what to do with flash content. The screen is really easy to bypass without reading it so perhaps you didnt notice.
Surfing with Dolphin HD in Froyo is laggy, particularly with flash sites, when using stock cpu clock settings. If you bump up to 1100Mhz using SetCPU with ondemand enabled and adjust Up Threshold down from 95% to something south of 50% (personally I use 45%) the lagginess is greatly reduced.
Dalingrin's latest 3/8 and 3/10 kernels are REALLY PROMISING with interactive govenors setup to cut down the lag. I'm not qualified to say what it is exactly that's being worked on but basically the lag you see is due to the CPU ramping up in clock speed to handle the load and these newer kernels are trying to address that. The new kernels have some wifi bugs right now on the froyo build but Dalingrin's working on it. Towards the end of the thread there was a working kernel posted by funcrusher (page 77 of the dalingrin kernel thread) that seems to be the most stable build for now for froyo without too much wifi issues. Once the kinks are ironed out on the interactive govenor kernels though Nookie Froyo's going to be SWEET with that kernel. Then again, CM7 with interactive is probably really nice too (havent tried CM7 yet).

the websites i was browsing there had no flash. sites that on stock rom are smooth on nookie are awfully laggy. im still on stock rom trying opera and wow the gpu acceleration really makes a difference just as smooth as on idevices.

Opera does not work on Nook Color

Well flash or not an overclock kernel in Froyo does a lot for browsing experience. Thats more of the point I was trying to make.
Like I said, try other kernels in Froyo for a better idea of what is possible. A 1100Mhz kernel by dalingrin with interactive govenor is slick, its just the wifi kinks that need to be ironed out. In a week or two I wouldnt be surprised if it's resolved.

wouldn't an overclocked processor drain battery faster? if i have to overclock the processor so i can have the same experience as on stock rom doesn't seem to be very efficient.

^Opera Mini, not the regular PC, Mac, and Linux one.

It can, depending on what you have it set to and what you are running. You have a bit more control with setCPU on how your cpu is going to behave. Without a doubt, if you are looking to push the nook to the point where its silky smooth at everything in froyo you would want to try the interactive govenor kernel but live with lower battery life.
The experience isnt the same though. If you feel it is then stay where you are with stock.
Right now I'm running a kernel from the dalingrin thread that was posted I believe on page 77 of the thread where wifi is stable and my battery life is good with the setcpu settings I'm using.

Frankly I don't see what the "awful" is all about - I find browsing to be much more enjoyable on Nookie Froyo than on the B&N stock browser, with the exception of needing to use Button Savior to access the Back and Menu keys. Even without overclock, pinch-zoom is far smoother on NF. I've also been playing with Mobile Firefox as a second browser but some of its features aren't ready for prime-time.

I've got nookie froyo installed and the browser has been fantastic. I even watched an episode of Californication via Flash this morning.
The only problems I've actually had are with the Theme I installed. It made my stock browser FC, but now I use dolphin HD.
The nook is a hot product right now, once Honeycombs AOSP comes and dev's have more time to update roms like Nookie Froyo we should have pefect devices.

Why nook color is very luggy?

I bought a new NC.Both the 1.2 stock rom and cm7.1 are very lugy.Zooming and scrolling in the browser,the aniamtion when opening or closing an application and the menu and etc. are very luggy. I also tried OC to 925mhz but no luck.
Videos that compares nook color and Galaxy Tab shows very smooth operation when comes with the same situation I mentioned above.So Why?

So is "lugy" like trying to do the dougie?

925 speed is not over clocking, it is really stock speed. Is your nc rooted and does it have dal ringers OC kernel? also comparing the speed to a galaxy is not a fair comparison since they are totally different gpus if you are speaking of the 10.1. Root it, install cm on it, then put the right kernel on it, OC then...adjust videos with handbrake and run the videos then...you will be in for a elegant surprise.

CM7 on .32 isn't even laggy at 800mhz on the stock kernel. It's smoother overclocked but it's not a big deal unless you play games where you really need that extra 1-2 fps
I suspect he has something else going on.

I have upgrade to a nightlies version and find a lot smoother now although zooming and scroling in web browser is not so googd as I expected.

Web pages with javascript and lots of ad links really slow the browser down. A good example is the XDA forums which is slowish on my i7 Windows 7 system with 8 GB of memory.

Opera mobile is really smooth compared to the stock browser and Dolphin. The draw back is there aren't many options in the settings.

features over performance always, right?

There's no GPU acceleration in the stock browser so I would use Opera Mobile instead.

Game problem

I am currently using a KJ3 - luminance 1.0.1 with the Samurai 1.1 Kernel - EXT4 enabled.
I am trying to fix some problems with some games I have like CK Zombie. I get a lot of lag during the game. I fixed some of problems by switching from Ice Cream Launcher / TWlauncher to Go Launcher Ex. Now some of my games are running correctly with no lag, but I still get lag issues on CK Zombies.
Are there any launchers out there that don't cause this type of havok?
I have not tried any other launchers other than dxTOP which has the same issues as Twlauncher.
FYI - I did notice that my quadrant scores went from 2564 with ICS Launcher to 2251 with Go Launcher Ex.

This is the reason I stopped playing both CK and CK Zombies. I still haven't found a work around.

If you're experiencing game lag, your launcher may not be the issue. I ran into similar problems playing Dungeon Defenders, and the only way I could get it to resolve itself was to switch to a kernel that supported overclocking and additional memory (Talon, to be exact). Once I OC'd to 1.2 GHz and pushed the memory up, the program ran without lag. YMMV, but it might be something to look into.

At the time, I was running Pinnacle 1.3 and OC to 1.3 using Tegrak and still had issues with lag.

had the same problem, my solution was to turn off lagfix, it's much better. I am on the samurai kernel also.

I finally got it to work. I am using luminance 1.0.1 with Samurai 1.1 EXT4 with Arc Launcher and added Supercharger V6(latest version - aggressive mode). Works fine this way.

[Q]Plants vs Zombies - ROM

Hi
i have a question im want to play plants vs zombies and other good games on android - Xperia X8 but i didn't figure out which rom is the best i wanted a rom with bravia hack[yes i know its pretty much nothing but i like to have it] and xLoud but cant find good right now im on LinuXperia Escha Arch 3.5 it is pretty good but i have major difficulities trying to play PVZ the thing is it's starts but very randomly[not all the time quite often it just crashes at loading] and when it starts i cant write my nickname in game and without you cant play and why i cant write my name? becuse keyboard just dont shows up so i tried others keyboards and none of them worked
So my question is on which gingerbread rom with bravia hack and xloud[and there need to be dsp manager becuse without it i cant use playerpro] i will be able to play Plants vs Zombies
and Yes im using chainfire 3D with powervr plugin

GingerCruzt maybe? It has both xLoud and Bravia engine. Try it and check does PvZ work.

i tried and it doesnt even start to load crash after pop cap logo

on a froyo rom this game works, not on cm7..cm6 have more compatibility with apps

This game crash because we have low RAM.
This can be solved by using Chainfire especially in Android 2.2.
For Android 2.3, you must use a ROM which is very lite and have much free RAM to play it, and the result is not very good and will cause random pop out in the loading or during the game. A temporary solution is restart the phone and play the game with "fresh" condition.
For Android 2.3, the best solution is use a custom kernel which is support SWAP, create a swap file/partition which is minimum 96mb, then you can play the game without any problem.

PvZ also crash before I enable swap on my phone, and now it works even without chainfire
If you don't want swap, you can:
either write your nick in messaging for example, copy it and paste in PvZ, this will allow you to create profile without popping out the keyboard
or use a froyo rom as suggested

ok so my question is which froyo rom is the best is it froyopro?
update
tried froyopro still crashes before loading

Try minicm6, I am using it and it is very fast and smooth for gaming...

i'll tell you mate i tried most of roms on our forum pvz is always going to crash if free ram isnt enough the only way is swap.
well i have a class 2 sdcard so swap isnt going to be usefull i guess so i always restart my phone use a task killer and enjoy the game
u have to face the fact that we've got low ram
cheers

i tried MINICM6 it is really fast i can get by just killing app in GO launcher EX like a ~95 MB of ram but Plants vs Zombies still dont work
OMG why tell me why on minicm7 and nAa kernel STILL dont work there need to be other way for this freaking game

for play this game you need a froyo rom ( for me for games minicm 6 it's better or froyobread 12, i never test froyo pro)
you need chainfire pro, and plugins. you need instal a plugin like powervr.. i see somewhere that you need nvidia plugin but i think that with powervr it works too.
this game only works on a froyo rom and you need chainfire pro and plugins test and you see

i know that you need a chainfire i wrote that but anyway somehow i make game to work it probably has something to do with cyanogenmod performance settings and game started
MINICM7 with nAa i could probably get this game to work with froyo but it's good rom and ginger so im stick to it

I played PVZ with chainfire without plugin, and it should not needed plugin neither.
That was chainfire 1.8?(i forget), and Floyo 2.0
But still, very recommended to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel.

plants vs zombies on my phone gingerdx
working way 1
install chainfire3d and enable 16bit
( no plugins ) (some lag if more zombies are coming and eat your brain )
or
working way 2
use swap ,
you do not need install chainfire3d (no lags )
you can use keyboard here

nook color fpse optimisation

I have a nook color running CM7 with FPSE. I am trying to see what roms and setting give the best result with FPSE. I can run games like FFVII and tenchu with sound pretty well, but other games such as command &conquer and Tekken 3 run with lag.
•. Does open GL work well?
•. Are there better roms to use with fpse?
•. What are the best combination of settings like framelimiter, supsync sound, ...
thanks

I'm not too experienced with Fpse but know that I was able to run Spyro 3 full speed with no lag running cm7. You shouldn't have to change any settings, but make sure you check the compatible list of PlayStation ROMs here :
