I've seen people in here mention getting this massive score after performing lag fix.
1) What does this fix do to essentially double the score?
2) Will running this fix prevent 2.2 or other official updates?
you'd might want to read the lag fix thread from page one. In short, the fix improves I/O performance and it won't prevent you from getting 2.2
Backup is your friend .. do backup before you install lag fix.

For a good few weeks, I ran my phone on JG1, and used the MoDaCo lag fix... I wasn't entirely happy with this "solution" maybe because I knew there was a quite strict limit with what could potentially be installed without undoing the lag fix, and then re-applying later - bit too much hassle for me...
However, there was no doubt about it, lag was well and truly gone for me. Very fast in the vast majority of scenarios.
Now I am on JM2, and applied EXT4 hack, and have used it for several days now.
When I had JG1 and the lag fix, I got a benchmark score of around 900 in Quadrant. With the JM2 and EXT4 hack, I now get about 1700...
Oddly though, the phone seems slower now than it did before, despite the much improved benchmark. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than stock, but there is some lag there, and not all of the animations / transitions are as smooth as they used to be.
So, JM2 + EXT4 lag fix looks better on paper, but in reality for me, the normal lag fix script seemed better performing, at least, in terms of the responsiveness of things opening etc.
Anyone else find this?
As a side note, I thought the battery life in JG5+ was meant to be better? Seems exactly the same, all things considered to me as JG1.
Yes, I experienced the same.
With the Modaco Fix the phone was flying! But I hit the 130MB limit pretty soon, so I had no other choice than applying and staying with the ext4 fix, which is indeed a tad slower, but still far beyond Samsungs original method.
And I agree to that, that the benchmark does not reflect the performance in real life usage.
Hello I am pretty new to these forums and the whole Android thing in general so excuse my ignorance if it appears this way .I am a bit of a tweaker at heart , always messing at PCs , Overclocking etc as you can imagine , so I am getting to grips recently with this phone.
so far i have seen my quadrant scores go from high 800s into 2500 as of tonight, tho i have also seen other models scores increase dramatically with an upgrade to froyo - android 2.2 .
what I am asking is this , can I expect another massive jump in performance when froyo is released along with all the speed fixes and hacks that we have today , or are we only extracting the froyo improves to use with the existing 2.1 software . in other words does the hardware have anymore left to give . Hope this is not long winded

well, the improvement in quadrant scores for galaxy s comes atm from the lag fixes that you can find here. with froyo properly optimised, we should see some more points, since jit will bring some more performance to the table.
many thanks from your reply , so you think a reflash from 2.1 with all the fixes will be beaten by 2.2 stock
Depends on how Samsung manages to get past the i/o problems. If the stock 2.2 will have the same problems that 2.1 has, then there's no way in the world a stock 2.2 will beat a lagfixed 2.1, since the problem of lag and stalling comes from the slow write capabilities on the internal memory. Even if the processor flies, when the system tries to write something it can't very fast. I had similar problems with a first gen SSD, all was great untill the system needed to write small files on it, then ... stop ).
For sure, a lagfixed 2.2 will beat a lagfixed 2.1
Which lag fix do you think is the best. ..I'm recently using one and my quadrant is 1850 but I've seen others with a score of 2080 is there a difference in lag fixes?

i use the Ext2 fix by RyanZA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751864
after some tweaking i was able to get 2790 on quadrant *note - the scores dont necessarily equate to real world speed*

quadrant scores are being inflated by read/write speeds and nothing else. Any one of the lag fixes will cause apps that really heavily on read/writes to the system to lag considerably less, such as facebook, dolphin hd, and a few others. But they will all have nearly the same real world performance. I would personally avoid any lag fix that mounts a different partition (such as ext3) to the internal SD card, because the partitions are not designed for flash memory and will wear it out faster than the system already on there.
Look in my sig for the lagfix I use. it doesn't have the fastest quad scores, but like I said, you don't need them to get the real world performance.
Thread closed. You will have to decide which is the best lag fix for you.
I've got a rooted 2.1 stock Vibrant with ryan's lag fix. My quadrant score went from 876 to 2250 which is great. My linpak for android only went from 8.101 to 8.225 mflops. I would really like my mflops to be in the 10-15 range though. It also seems to be running much quicker. Would I see a bigger boost with voodoo or should I just keep ryans lag fix going. Is voodoo just as easy to install to. Also I've been dying for the Frodo OTA. Would both of these lag fixes work for 2.2
Huh. Huhuhuh. He said Frodo. Huhuhuh. Huhuh.
LOL, it's been a funny day today. This is almost as good as the guy who told the noob to put on three lag fixes, so it will be three time's as fast!!! LOL.
Let's all hope Frodo can get the One Ring to Mount Doom in time. Then him and the rest of Samsung dev team might get Froyo done soon. Only then can the world rest and our linpak score possibly rise!
I saw that post to and it was pretty funny. I just want to know the differences between the to lag fixes, and which one is better to have.
How about try them both and you be the judge of it? Results vary on people's setups. If I were you, I would wait for a more stable version of VooDoo.. I have applied it but many people have reported having problems detecting their SD card (external and internal). To fix this, you'd have to restore your apps using Titanium Backup etc etc.
I would definitely say VooDoo, I have used RyanZA and VooDoo. But since you're a new user, I'd just wait for the more stable version.
Does Voodoo reformat the entire SD to ext4 or does it symlink like Ryan's?
If it changes the whole file system to ext4 then I would say it has to be faster.
thanks foe responses, I will wait until voovdoo goes stable an see the performance myself.

you CANT get 10-15 mflops, if you read how the lagfixes work you would understand what you are measuring. i think with OC you might get mid 9's
I see many say they are installing the lag fix on the Tab but is it really needed? Can't say I have noticed much lag on my Tab so just wondering what I would gain if I install the lag fix?

i dont see the need.
It depends on whether you want to show off your Quadrant score or not, really. In all the tests I've done the only measurable impact of installing the lag fix is on the Quadrant IO score (which it increases by about x10).
If you're not interested in the benchmark, I don't think you'll notice any difference at all.
ok, that's what I thought.. Thx..

No lag here. Quadrant gives a score of about 900-1000.
I don't get it still.
From what I've seen so far, is that the Tab is one of the fastest Android device I've seen, but for some odd reason Quadrant is reporting a very low score. And what's funny is that it's much faster and snappier then my Nexus One (blows it off the water to be exact).
If a lag fix can fix this then it only shows how unreliable Quadrant benchmark is.
Maybe someone can shed some light here.
I installed the fix and I'm getting a 2100+ score in quadrant.

Quadrant is the worst benchmarking tool ever.
So which is the best benchmarking tool?
