Guest RichJD Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Appologies if I missed a thread already but I'm reading around that we're due to get Gingerbread in a couple of months (not sure what the hold up is) Just wondering what it brings appart from a better keyboard and if we can still use the kitchen to make custom roms on it?

Guest Stryke69 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 we're due to get Gingerbread in a couple of months Say "weeks" (maybe even days), Cyanogen seems to be on the way :mellow: First, it's a lot faster. And it has real dualcore support, Froyo is not that good in process handling on dualcore devices afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you seen evidence that 2.3 supports dualcore? Google hasn't said anything about that. There are no optimisations for dual core cpu's.

Guest aMpeX Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 true multicore support will come with 2.4 Ice cream. Gingerbread still doesn't fully support dulacore, but, at least it does it better than Froyo. Other than that, it is faster so the "problem" will be grabbed at two ends. Can't wait for CM7/MoDaCo gingerbread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robertosandros Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Gingerbread adds support for hardware accelerated interfaces. So the tegra chip we got can make the UI a whole lot smoother, why you think the Galaxy S II's browser is so smooth? its hardware accelerated :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, gingerbread does NOT bring Hardware accelerated UI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rusty! Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Correct, it doesn't. Honeycomb does though. The Galaxy S phones have a specially built browser for hardware acceleration, they had it back on 2.1, nothing to do with Gingerbread. Edited April 29, 2011 by Rusty!
