1) scrolling effect is nothing more then a bunch of integer calculations on screen. how a floating point unit (FPU aka. "hardware accelerator") can help on this exactly?
2) 16 bit sampled music formats (such like mp3, flac, ogg, etc. (only a few studio materials/studio work relays on 32bit floating-point sampling)) are again full of integers. how an FPU unit can accelerate on this, again?
3) do you know that in any phone, the FPU aka. "hardware graphics accelerator" runs 99% of it's time on 'idle' while drains energy 100% of the time? This is amazing. A chip, witch does nothing just drains energy and almost has no use.

By the way, did you ever considered tweaking your transitions.ini ?

If symfonie is too laggy for you then: 1) turn of the software equalizer 2) organize your musics into folders and sub-folders otherwise you take no advantage of symfonie. (i did not used the newer versions, so i hope these hints will help)
Quit being a dick. clearly you don't understand what hardware acceleration can do. use a first generation iPod Touch, a modern Android, your laptap (even if it has integrated graphics). It can be used to make graphics smoother and faster, something Nokia forgot. I don't use the EQ in Symfonie and i have my 140 songs broken down into 5 folders, why else would i be looking for a directory-based player?

i don't want audio passed to the powervr chip, that makes no effin' sense, just the graphical layer of the application - again, try Canola, it uses 40 percent of the CPU and it runs like a champ, i'm just looking for something simpler.

As for transitions.ini, i modified it well, and it works great - for transitions. that doesn't help anything else. just transitions and app menu scrolling if you do it right. i've spent countless hours nano-ing tracker and no matter what changes i make, it doesnt improve.

no reason to be an ******* just because you can't be helpful. i'll go download Instinctiv right now, tried it when i first got this phone but removed it because it looked too much like the iPhone music player, but maybe i can dig deep and replace the images that make up the theme.
