is anyone else experiencing issues with Live Wallpapers not working with the Nightlies? When i was running 5.0.8 on my MT3G 32b i was able to use about 75% of the LWP's out there. Ever since since using the nightlies its been a no go, even for the ones I had running when on 5.0.8.

Of course you are, it could happen to anyone.

Excuse the Aspie in me.

Just reporting a bug on rc3 ....

When in the gallery, after choosing a picture, if you go landscape mode it ruins the picture

Old bug. I think there is a bounty on it.

Hey are these nightlies even being worked on lately the file size has not changed in a long while plus I have not seen any comments or progress via GITHUB since Aug 21 2010. Perhaps development is elswhere as CM6 did come out, are there now 6.1 nightlies????

Why do you still use RC3? The final and stable version was launched.

wrong section for this post... ;P

also, if you press zoom out, its all ok... at least for the most recent nightly

moreover, who uses RC3 anymore o_O?

anyone know why the G2 is only givin 800MHz Processor?!? o_O I was thinkin it would be a lot more... gah

As of my reply, the last change to the github was about 3 hours ago... http://github.com/CyanogenMod
There are an average of 3 to 4 changes per day... Are you checking the correct location?

As for the file size, are you looking at the actual size of the file or are you just looking at the "rounded to the nearest Megabyte tenth" size?
For example, here is a screen capture listing; one from windows explorer with file sizes rounded to the nearest KB (on-top) and one from the website where file sizes are rounded to the nearest tenth of a Megabyte (below)

The G2's Snapdragon processor isn't the same as the ones used by other phones up to now. It features Adreno 205 GPU (rather than Adreno 200), which is much much faster. It will rival the one found in Galaxy S, and will outperform iPhone 4's GPU.

1Ghz is not 1Ghz when comparing two different CPU's, especially if they are two different generations of CPU's specifically different architectures.

Take into consideration the Intel Core 2 Duo and i3/i5/i7 series x86 CPUs. Clock for clock they are much more efficient than a same clock speed AMD Athlon X2 or Phenom CPU.

Even when comparing the same brand. Look at all Intel CPU's with a 2.6Ghz clock speed.

See this link...
http://ark.intel.com...Speed=2.6%20GHz

You get an array of CPU's, all running 2.6Ghz mind you, from Celeron and Pentium models to Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Duo Extreme and Xeon. They are by no stretch of the imagination equals, not even in the same ballpark in terms of performance per clock.

This is the problem with the way software companies state minimum requirements. Unfortunately because the public refuses to educate themselves, it is somewhat necessary.

Clock speed is relatively, irrelevant to performance if two CPU's run at the same clock speed but one gets 4 times the work done as the other in the same amount of time.

Bottom line is, if the architecture is even somewhat better with Scorpion vs. Snapdragon, the 800Mhz CPU could easily outperform the 1Ghz CPU. This doesn't even take into account any other factors such as faster embedded memory possibilities.

Well said sir.

Today also no nightly ? Normally the bind is at ~0:20 available ....

From looking at the build log for the D/S image, it seems the build is currently broken... Unable to build locally on my machine as well...

Hopefully whoever is supposed to fix it didn't leave for the weekend. :-)

You're right... wow it's really fast. I tested performance using quadrant benchmark and it return exactly the same points as before, so I don't have any evidence, it just feels faster.

I think performance benchmarks like Quadrant and Linpack uses floating point operations to check processor abilities. Strcpy is something a little bit more "common usage oriented", so that's why it may not directly impact root system performance, but more of an overall usage improvement

does the nightlys resolves the battery drain problem? to test one. ty!

Well said!! I wish there was a better way for software makers to state their requirements, some kind of universal benchmark. FLOPS maybe? Not perfect, of course, especially with graphics apps where the speed of the GPU is even more important than that of the CPU, but as you pointed out, it'd still be more accurate than trying to compare things by clock speed.

"Minimum system requirements: 40 CPUFLOPS, 65 GPUFLOPS" maybe?
