Starting from ICS, the developer options in the settings included Force GPU Rendering, so it must be on the Fire HD somewhere, just inaccessible. I'm rooted, so is there any way to access the setting?
Nookcolor tools has a force gpu rendering (use 2d hardware acceleration in applications) its under developer options. The not sure if this is what you want. I have not tried doing this but I do know it is there

Yea, that's exactly it!
A simple Quadrant test shows a boost in 2D performance. Thanks!
Your welcome this app is useful for a lot of other things to

You can also install anycut from the market. You can create a shortcut from the activities list called developer settings.
Yep, I found a lot of cool developer shortcuts when I went digging through the apex shortcuts menu. One In particular was the keyboard theme, you can use Google, amazon, or old Google keyboards reinstalled through amazonIME.

what does force 2D rendering do? Is it faster performance? Does it negatively affect anything else?

So someone posted this in the 4g slide forum, it was used in the sg2 forum
It seems as if it should work, not knowing how scripts work i wanted to ask some smart people if this would be safe on the touchpad.
Ive been running it on my 4g slide with great results
What do you think?

its fine. it wont hurt your device to set cpu profiles to apply certain cpu settings when your touchpad is idle, screen off, battery low, etc etc. theres tons of free apps that can set cpu profiles. i use system tuner pro, and rom toolbox pro. also most cm9 roms will have profile settings in the system settings menus.
Hey, how is it going.
lets get to the point right away.
Basically I Don't do multitasking more often and I'm more of a performance fan kinda person in other words f*** multitasking speed this Scheiße up a little bit for god sake.
So I have a couple questions for ya all today I'll be really grateful if you help me out and like my other posts everyone here will get a thank.
(I'm on about CM7)
1. how to disable multitasking or at least reduce the max number of active/running apps. (note!!! how to do that without home app being terminated)
2. how to tell the system not to terminate home app under any circumstances or just keep it in memory or cache it or dunno somehow don't touch it.
3. how to change the default values for settings of a ROM *
4. how to change the default values for settings of an app *
* => I'm gonna make a ROM, so basically I would like to change the default values to something else for example cpu freq or gov to my desire or changing the animation speed of the home app to something else in this case I'm on about launcherpro. so once I flash the ROM the settings are already set to what I wanted.
Note!!! I know some of that could be done through Cm dev app. but i'm thinking of some sort of script or build.prop lines or actually add these settings to cm settings which would be great.
Cheers!!!
I think spare parts has an option to set android's task manager to aggressive.
To lock the home app in memory, you can either,
Go to cyanogenmod settings>Performance >Lock home app in memory
Or you can put this line in build.prop: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

Cheers bro spare parts doesn't have that option and neither cyanogenmod settings or the home_app_adj=1 would work I was already aware of those but if you reduce the number of running apps to for example one or two once you open up one or two apps the home app will be terminated

All this can be done by editing the ramdisk folder in the kernel. (Except the app values ofc).!!
For no multitasking use dsixda kitchen. It has the option. Option 12 in the first advanced view if i ain't wrong. Other things you have to edit manually..

Cheers bro. Could you be a bit more specific what things could be done in that folder I mean is all the settings values stored in that folder like sound,brightness or other settings or is it just the CPU freq and gov ? And what about settings of an app?

Flashing an app's data and dalvik cache to the appropiate address will keep its settings.
You can also try modifying the kernel's minfree values to force the closing of inactive apps in favor of more free ram.

Trying to get a screen recorder to work on the kindle fire hd 7". The closest I've got is with Screencast Video Recorder. The only problem is that it records only a black screen. You can see the pointer when enabled but background screen is still black. Says "ICS+ devices: Make sure HW Overlay is disabled and "Force GPU Rendering" is enabled from the device's developer options menu" , but I can't find HW Overlay in any options (including xSettings app).
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm checking the suggested forum they mention in the app store, but thought I'd try here too.
Thanks.
PS.... HELLUVA SUPERBOWL!

I'm no expert, but if that's the stock OS you are on, perhaps a custom ROM would enable that menu. To double-check first, it's at Settings, right above "About phone".
I could be completely off-base here, but this might be worth a try:
add these lines in your /system/build.prop:
Code:
debug.composition.type=gpu
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2
this was used a while ago on the Galaxy Note when having overlay & flicker issues as a workaround for having to check "disable hw overlays" at each reboot...
(the default was maxlayer=3) may have no effect for you, I don't know, but it is somewhat related.
Thanks for the replies but neither worked.

I recently rooted my Atrix HD, and it is now performing terribly -- Extremely laggy and slow, comparable to my old G1. I installed a good number of tweaks, primarily one to hide the soft keys and one to dim the screen lower than normal, along with the standard ROM Toolbox and such. I also installed Safestrap. Could a particular buggy application be causing this? My CPU monitor shows one core scaling normally, and the other nearly always stuck at max speed. I haven't tweaked the CPU clock speed or governor at all.
Download android tweaker and set the settings to performance.

I have been driving myself a little nutz... The more I search, the more I feel like a noob! I am trying to find out why none of the settings I make in rom toolbox stick. I heard that the sysclt.conf file has to be "turned on", so that you could edit it directly or with rom toolbox or the like. Can anyone shed any light my way? TIA.
When you say they don't stick do you mean after reboot or immediately after making changes? Also, what settings are you changing? ROM Toolbox has many different tweaks that it can set on boot, and the fix could differ per what you are tweaking. For example, if you are setting CPU frequency it could just be the kernel you're using.
