Guest vamshistunner Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 but even then.... the zte racer has more cpu power and graphics and ram than an playstation 1 console. it can run need for speed shift!!!! compare the graphics between need for speed and an normal ps1 game. the phones graphics are better. Hmm. But only PS1 games can run on mobile that too using emulators. But there are much better games out there for mobile having much better graphics than ps1. Anyways your wish. You can run it through some emulator. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vamshistunner Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 i understand the way in which swap works and the fact it wastes your battery quicker which is expected when reading and writing as virtual ram from sdcard just thought it might work as a whole for the sdcard and improve further the read/write speed rather than partition based....:) lol.. If that is the case i'll be the first one to do it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gagan313 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 You want to run psx games on mobile ? is that possible? i guess we cant there is an app called psx4droid. i tried on samsung galaxy s and zte blade and both worked fine. i am also aware that zte racer struggles to run ps1 games and n64 games but can run snes, nes , sega genesis and gba emulators very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Khan Miro Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I am very surprised none ever complied about that: the very very hard to pull down notification bar. Can that be fixed? The screen is inaccurate enough still, but hope it will be fixed. Anyway, I follow the updates and see how the Racer gets better and better :) Thank you guys. Racerboy, the question was for you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racerboy, the question was for you ;) Hi, if you`ve only simply updated your ROM (not full wipe) and done this maybe 4 or 5 times with ROMS in this thread i would maybe do a full clean installation to see if that rectifies your problem with notification bar. For me and almost everybody else notification bar is working fine, the transperancy is fixed,icons fixed and thick grey line on top left is gone now aswell....i agree on the screen calibration it is slightly worse on the #179v2 compared to #176 which is the best imo so far, i think the problem we have is the variety of Racer/X850/ etc with slight difference, example: 2 people, 1 with uk Racer and 1 with X850 from china and both have same ROM installed can report different pro`s and con`s, in other words their is not 1 single ROM that has same results good or bad for everybody. At the moment we are metatheoreticaly speaking "drowning" in ROMS which is a good thing :) As you say Racer ROMS are getting better and better.......

Guest vamshistunner Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 The reason for delayed CyanogenMod nightlies builds is because hackers rooted kernel.org so while they fix the security problem http://android.git.kernel.org/ has been taken off-line since these days and is still down. So the next CyanogenMod nightlies will be released after this issue is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rremedio Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) For those who still have battery issues: 1. The nightlies have a bug after you use a GPS app: after you use the app, the battery will keep being drained like if you were still using it. Task killers won't help. Rebooting the phone will stop the draining. 2. I highly recommend instaling BetterBatteryStats, so you can track what is eating your battery when you are not using the phone. 3. I've bought a cheap alternative battery (2050mAh) from ebay, it lasts about 60% longer than the original battery from my phone.

Guest rremedio Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 ok thanks. i just miss the old classics like driver 2, resident evil, space invaders.. For me, the big problem of running emulators on the Racer is the single touch screen. So you can't press two or more buttons at the same time (required to play most games correctly).

The power output to the phone is the same than the original battery, just the capacity is different. The battery seems to be well done and comes well packed, but this means nothing. Anyway, I agree it's a risk as it's not recommended by phone manufactors to use batteries different than the originals. If someone buys it, it's at his own risk.

Just started becouse there was reports of #179 not being so battery effective as the previous ones. Looking at BetterBatteryStats, is clear to me that battery life on the nightlies will still improve a lot (as the phone remais awake sometimes even with no wakelocks active, and that's a kernel problem).

Guest vamshistunner Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I have compiled the kernel for racer. You may try it. I have noticed more free RAM after installing this. But its upto you. Download Here. Install it through CWM. First boot after install will take 1-2 min to get into desktop.
