This sounds a very interesting idea indeed.
We ahve already investigated this recently and we think that such an
approach is possible. We also think that this could lead to dramatic
performance improvments when a proper 2D acceleration is offered
through the DirectFB port. Note that a GPU can be
Dear Franck:
after some study the source code of framebuffer related parts,
I think this is possible. the following file lists is using grep
to search "/dev/fb" or "/dev/graphics/" in android source tree.
./bootable/recovery/minui/graphics.c
./development/
Dear Akio,
Yes, you are right.
The graphic work is actually "splitted" into several parts:
-1- the management of the graphic 2D surfaces (including surface
creation, decoding of bitmaps,...). This is mainly implemented by the
class SkBitmap and the associated classes... We have already
invest
Dear Franck:
Thank you very much.
It seems we all see almost the same target :-)
actually, I'm thing about the android over new x86 platform,
and the directfb is the only way to get 2d fully performance.
iptv stb is a major trend for multimedia application.
Dear Akio,
I feel ready to spend some resources to continue this work: what about
you ?
Just for my information: are you doing this for fun or do you have a
business target right now ?
Did you already build a x86 version ?
Best regards.

Dear Steven:
this is a good question.
right now, the graphics part is the major problem.
for input side, in my opinion, using directfb only using the
part of graphics, not all of directfb. if you find some thing
missing, please let me know. thank you very m
Dear Steven,
Reg. the performances, graphic rendering is THE place where dramatic
improvments can be obtained.
I think that there is no significant improvment to hope by modifying
the input system, as far as you don't try to use multitouch screens.
If you want to use a multitouch screen (but yo
