Guest xaueious Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Credits Auxx for starting it all and pretty much writing up a howto g4rb4g3 for prelink map http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...d-from-sources/ Cyanogenmod github for webkit sources mirror, Eclair branch and reference Install Tested on LCR 1.7. Should work for all stream based ROMs since I used a prelink map for the Stream dump. Not sure if this works for normal ROMs. Try and report back? Flash as non-signed update.zip in recovery The engine is known to break some old apps. Update to newest version from Market. (new Epocrates 3.15 confirmed to be okay!). If you don't like it, switch back. Speed improvements are real, and gifs are now animated. V8 engine. Animates up to 32x32 gif files. Good performance and animated icons. libwebcore_v8_smallanigif.zip V8 engine, with full GIF support (no option to disable GIF images, so might slow down your web browsing experience a little. Will eat up more RAM. GIF files work flawlessly, tested up to 8MB animated gifs) libwebcore_v8_fullanigif.zip Tweaks If you have the RAM, make sure your build.prop has a larger dalvik heap size set: dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m or 24m This is default in LCR1.7.2, and increases memory usage of apps. Info This javascript engine is known to break some old apps, but just update or contact the dev I compiled libwebcore.so from AOSP, with source code from Cyanogenmod Webkit Branch This is the default javascript engine in Froyo This was known to break some apps and was pulled from Cyanogenmod 5 when they tried this. Result of V8 Benchmark Suite - version 5, at 960 MHz with performance governor: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v5/run.html Stock score on my LCR is about 60-70 Here are some comparison scores from iPhone 4 and Froyo Nexus One: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/0...-benchmarks.ars Here are some more comparison scores: Test Droid (2.0) Nexus One (2.1) Change Richards 15.6 52.1 +234% DeltaBlue 12.9 60.2 +367% Crypto 10.9 31.7 +191% RayTrace 80.1 170 +112% EarleyBoyer 74.7 126 +69% RegExp 16.5 27.5 +67% Splay did not complete did not complete – Not sure if full gif animations are supposed to work as well elsewhere in the code.

Guest xian1243 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 You should give credits to auux, who did the research, documenting, about library compiling for the liquid and who DESERVES credit! Please refer to his thread and add proper credits to the first post. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ahsid Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Very interesting !! Nice work xaueious BTW Xian you should try "nice" one day, credits is one thing, but he also did his share of the work. After reading your post, it sounds like xaueious stole everything... :( Anyways, I tried the benchmark with pph's froyo with kernel at 998mhz => I get : SCORE :232 Richards :186 DeltaBlue : 149 Crypto : 241 RayTrace : 240 EarleyBoyer : 473 RegExp : 77.5 Splay : 612 EDIT : at 1075mhz I get a SCORE of 302 !!!!!

Guest Swallow74 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I tried VP8 engine with LCR 1.6 + phhusson kernel 920-lcr1.7-ramzswap+TSfix+SVS-2 and works like a charm. Result of VP8 test: 183. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaueious Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Credits is first thing in the post, second line. Don't know why you are telling me to give credits when I ready did :( This sort of thing didn't take understanding on my end. I just implemented it. Heck it's copy paste combined with research. The info had been sitting around for weeks and I just happened to be the one who implemented it for testing I should have just cloned Cyanogenmod repo actually. But I cloned AOSP, which still has pretty recent code in it. It took a while to clone so maybe I'll try again later. This is my first time compiling anything other than the kernel image and the wireless module. I just wanted to experiment with compiling a part of aosp. It's not like I'm asking for donations for this. I'm asking for results. How are page loading times? Edit: Updated one with full animated GIF support. Works better than I thought. I think it's a keeper. Edited July 23, 2010 by xaueious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xian1243 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Xau, actually, I posted before you actually finished your post... :( My bad This is great for éclair users... :( I'm glad someone actually build the library...! AOSP is better than cyanogen's source, by the way. Cyanogen's mods actually break some APIs... The prelink map for the stream ROM should be find for any other liquid ROM, too. Kudos xau!

Guest xaueious Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Just to add a note. Full gifs work really well on my Acer Liquid E. If you have the Liquid E, you can go ahead and use the full version. There are supposed to me memory concerns with enable full gif support on phones with less RAM such as the Acer Liquid, so it is up to you guys to test it. Using the full version, I've tested single 2-4MB animated gif files with no lag. Typical animated gif sites like senorgif are now fully functional as well, a big plus for me.

Guest djinferno806 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 is this only for the default browser or does the dolphin browser also benefit from this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Delnar_Ersike Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) is this only for the default browser or does the dolphin browser also benefit from this as well? Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, only the default browser benefits from this. Since every Android browser is self-contained, meaning, for example, that Dolphin Browser doesn't share the same settings as the default browser or Opera Mini 5, only the default Android browser benefits from the patch. EDIT: Did some researching, apparently Dolphin HD does use the internal webkit engine, which is also why it is only available for Android 2.0 or greater. So yes, I was wrong, Dolphin does benefit from this. Edited July 24, 2010 by Delnar_Ersike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaueious Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I believe almost everything that has a 'webview' benefits from it, and that's a lot of apps. Any app that renders content as a webpage using the internal webkit engine. Firefox is an exception that uses its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HustlinDaily Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I can confirm that Dolphin HD Browser does benefit from this. My guess is due to Dolphin being a themed version of the stock browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xaueious Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Most apps just use the internal webkit browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swallow74 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Most apps just use the internal webkit browser We can say that ALL Android's browsers uses native engine. Opera Mini and Skyfire are the only exceptions because both uses a proxy server for web rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cubens Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Here are my results. I use this with Xians 0.9 with stock speed kernel. Interesting results on browsermark.rightware.com Xians stock: around 19500 V8 webkit: around 15900 V8 benchmark v5 Xians stock: stuck at 89% don't finished the splay test 48 - 38 - 26 - 133 - 123 - 28 - 0 V8 webkit: 138 - 150 - 195 - 140 - 220 - 43 = 301 so the results are much better in this test, but i wonder why i lost over 3000pts. in browsermark. i will test it now in normal daily surfing situations.

Guest djinferno806 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 hmm that is strange for sure, my browsermark score was 22023 points. Im curious to what everyone else is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
