hey flipz how about another benchmark

how bout another benchmark for all these latest and greatest roms that claim to be too fast for class. so we know the truth once again

I agree

wow awesome quick response too... i knew i liked u for some reason

Won't hardware benchmarks always be the same between all ROMs?
Is there a way to objectively benchmark resource management? Speed of the interface, opening apps etc.

i didnt see the last one but id like to see benchmarks like on te gsm roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656818
Also the following for benchmarking:
For 3D Performance
* Qualcomm's "NeoCore" 1.9.18 - Measured in FPS
For 2D Performance
* Softweg's "Benchmark" 1.03 - Measured by an internal score
* "Lag test" - Originally to measure 2D performance for Motorola Droid users. Measured in FPS
For CPU Performance
* Linpack for Android - Measured in MFLOPS
All of the tests mean: The higher, the better.
The method of testing was the usual flashing, a couple of reboots to make sure every caching necessary was done and the average of 3 benchmark of each test.

Make sure to test Pancake 0.1! Still the fastest rom out there .

I'll add linpack to the list too.

And it's also 1.5 which makes it irrelevant for these tests.

Someone should come out with a rom, with JIT enabled.
Then they can claim they have the fastest rom.
I had it running on dc 2.7.2 without any problems.. Just cant use anything HTC, like lockscreen or sense.
But nexus or helix launcher and beautiful widgets, everything is normal again.

JIT is too buggy still, im looking foward to playing with compcache when someone gets 2.6.29 source working

thanks flipz just looked it over like the benchmark setup

Yea. We had some goodies starting to go in the .27 kernel but then the 2.1 stuff became the main focus so it never got finished. Ha.

I agree its not perfect.. But i can use it on my daily rom and run every app I would on a normal day without an issue.
Before dc 2.06 came out, i ran it on dc 2.05 for 3 days straight.'
I dont use bluetooth or some other random things. So it would probably start 101 problems for some people.. Like theres not enough already.

Can the droid 2 be overclocked now?

Can the droid 2 be overclocked now?

I'd like to know, too...

Not yet. It can be underclocked to save battery life, but until we're able to load a kernel that supports overclocking, we're stuck with these sluggish 1Ghz speeds.

really? 1ghz isn't fast enough for you?
even when/if the kernal can be changed overclocking will only go but so far, the D1 was underclocked stock so it was able to overclock much farther then any other phone currently. I think the snapdragon's are able to only go to like 1.3, i imagine ours wont go much farther

It's not about being fast enough, its about if its as fast as it can be. What's the fun in running at stock speeds? Squeeking out another 30% would be pretty awesome.

[Q] How to install hastarin's 7.6 kernel??

Hi dear!
I try to install Mdeejay's Froyo Sense v.3.1 but people said this version will be
much faster and smooth with hastarin's 7.6 kernel.
However, I don't know how to install only the kernal apart from android rom.
Can anybody help or explain me how to install it ?
and.. can anybody give me the link to download hastarin's 7.6 kernel?
Thank you.

Wow, ok...since you're new:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
But try search next time. See hastarin's readme.txt included in the folder when you download it. It'll walk you through the process.

Thanks man.
Yeah I'm new.. haha
Which one do u prefer to use, overclocking or not?

Not really. Besides, you can always make a profile in setcpu to lower the clock speed if it becomes too hot, if you're worried about it.

Quadrant standard scores! OC atrix!

Anyone else getting 3550 and above on quadrant standard overclocked to 1.1 ghz?
This is kp's rom.
UPDATE: Now im getting around 4200 on cm7 prebeta 2 with the built in oc and it feels alot smoother!

No! My highest was 303x!

My highest is always ~2900

3600 here faux and custom hack system

4700, and only running one core!

Sadly on stock when I first got the phone I would get over 4000 but now with GB and a 1.1 overclock I only get up to 3600. Is it really that far off on performance because it isn't a final build or is the final build going to be like this?

How is it you were getting 4000 or 4700 on quadrant standard?

hey guys, big news! benchmarks don't mean anything in reality.

my best "In Use" score is 3196. by in use I mean I have all the programs running I would have normally so I got a lot of junk running in the background. I have yet to kill everything and see what I can get with that.

You felt the need to express this why? This wasn't in the Q&A section as do benchmarks mean anything. It's a post about your scores not about people trying to prove their tech hierarchy.

Neither do 1/4 mile or 0 to 60 times, but they are fun to throw around.

I got a 3600 "in-use" benchmark, with max and min set to 1.1. With max at 1.1 and min still at .2, I still got 3200, which is not bad.
You seriously got 4000+ while on the phone's original stock system and everything??
Mine feels so much faster and snappier now on GB with the faux kernel and everything..

very true and in response to first post i get around 3330+ with most of my apps going but i have both min and max set to highest in set cpu

As does mine feel faster on gingerbread

That's the way I test also. I'm around 3000 with all the normal apps running that I leave running and min and max CPU speeds kept where I use them. It feels very smooth!

I have an atrix benchmark thread!

i can't seem to pass 2800 running stock

[Q] Banchmarks and reality

Hi. I have my HD2 with android 4.0.4 with HWA. My friend has Galaxy mini with 2.3.7 (CM7 rom). And he has better 2D and 3D score in all benchmarks. Why? I don't think Galaxy is so new and so better than HWA HD2... So are the benchmarks lying or I have really worse performance?
And questions to devs or people who understand it: why I have 5000 points in I/O on Dorimanx's CM7 rom and on 4.0.4 HWA I have 1000?

Galaxy mini has only 320x240 resolution, so it has a better score.

OK, but shouldn't I have better CPU and GPU (I mean Adreno) to process more stuff? But ok, I am not grumbling, I was just curious.
And what with that I/O speed? Because in HWA roms write and read is very very slow.

With dorimanxs ROM you must of had data 2 ext enabled so the io scores were that high because of your memory card and on ics you are using your internal memory which is slower than ext4 partitions

TBH, benchmarks mean nothing. All that really matters is the end user experience. If you're satisfied with the performance then it really couldn't matter less what you get in benchmarks. Think about it this way, a Galaxy mini might get a higher benchmark but could you really live with a tiny low res screen and TouchWiz (vs almost ANYTHING on the HD2)?

Thank you guys. I am happy about your answers. That's right. Mini has too small screen.
And one more thing: people (like Rick_1995) can play GTA 3 smoothly. I have still lags. I am not requiering 60fps, but ability of playing it comfortable Am I doing something wrong?

I've been trying to get GTA3 running too. Even after setting the governor to performance and details to minimum driving wasn't possible. Does anyone know how to do it? Should we increase volts?

I cannot overclock above 1.2GHz (I don't know why won't they add 1.6GHz from Dorimanx kernel).

Dunno why but for me on Typhoon CM7 there was no difference between 1.2GHz and 1.6GHz so I doubt there will be for CM9 either. I can give a +1 to GTA running poorly despite what others say.

How can you tell that the cpu is really running at 1.6GHz and the kernel is just not faking it ? Qualcomm, the company which made the cpu never released any info about how cpu is clocked in hardware, or the pll limits, the multiplier limits, what internal clock logic checks for etc..

Are they going to be released?

That's how it runs on my phone as well. I definitely don't define that as smooth. I've played it on my Mum's Desire S and it was far better, with a much higher framerate and better resolution (although that's probably due to the smaller screen) so I personally expect more from the game. Also, what about Real Racing? Happen to have a video of that? Because I've heard that's supposed to work without lag but it most certainly doesn't (Raging Thunder and NFS: Shift do but Real Racing doesn't). On a side note, thanks so much for all of the work you've been doing to keep this phone alive, without people like you in the community this phone would be completely dead
