Hmm, I've seen lots of people say that their scores are 3000-3500 but I've run it twice and have only ever got to 2700 ish.
It stalls at database writes for a bit

Using quadrant standard or advanced? Advanced gets higher from looking at results
Standard.
Nvm. Exited running apps and cleared memory and got 3100+.

Low quadrant score ain't a thing...it depends on optimization, running quadrant with live wallpapers and speed test running with a movie downloading at 3g will definitely affect your score
Also it depends on processor....if it is undervolted to save battery then the score will be obviously less
And lastly don't forget to check whether quadrant is optimized for sgs 2 or not as of database read and write it might be due to ext4 partition.
Hope it helps...
Don't judge your device on benchmarks but rather on how it works and how the general speed is.
Quad scores can be fixed and to be honest as long as you are happy with the performance.....then ignore the score.
But if you like numbers then...3564 on standard launcher, then 3874 using the laucher from the SE Arc.

Recently got Droid X Overclock and have been playing with it. I've seen the CPU Benchmark and Quadrant threads, got some decent scores but seems to be most stabile @ 1300 Undervolting.
What exactly are the benefits, what's the difference between the voltages? Currently undervolting because my impression is it'll give me longer battery life, but read some threads saying it is somewhat a myth? Can anyone that truly understands this comment?
Im going to make this as simple as possible. I can only tell that it makes a difference in benchmarking.

Same here... lol
Neither of you can tell a difference with battery life?
I've been wanting to overclock/undervolt, but I was curious as well. Do I have to overclock each time I flash or upgrade a ROM? I'm currently on Liberty 1.0, but once they come out with an update would I need to overclock once again?
Thanks in advance.
I am on Apex 1.3 and have noticed increased battery life but not sure if its due to the ROM or undervolting.. will most likely check out Fission or Liberty tomorrow.

I OC/UV to 1.3 ULV settings in liberty lastnight. My phone has been on for 10 hours, display on with heavy use for about 45 mins, still at 90%. So far, that is a bit better then any other OC setting I used, and it's very stable. I noticed with other settings, I had weird reboots, so I think a lot of it depends on what works for your phone the best. I would test them out and see the results.
For those who dont know, there are 3 different benchmarks included in SetCpu. To get to them, go to info. These are just basic referances to check after you make changes.

Umm ok. 10 char
I would hardly call them great benchmarks. They only test CPU & NEON (no GPU) and scores vary significantly between tests.
This is because even the "long bench" takes only a few seconds, and doesn't test performance over an extended period of time.
It's obviously only included in SetCPU for quick reference. I'd go so far as to recommend against developers including the scores with their ROMs.
Is there one or as simple trial and error kind of thing?
Thanks

Just trial and error. I would start at 1.2ghz on stepping 5 and increase by 50mhz being sure to thoroughly test each clock rate.
Do NOT use the set on boot option until you are sure it is stable.

I ended up testing/benchmarking in 25mhz increments. I know it was a bit more time consuming, but I found that my NC could handle 1275 while using multimedia intensive apps, but a friend could get his up to 1325 running benchmarks and not rebooting.
I think we got in one or two runs at 1350, but it definitely wasn't stable. Broke 4200 in quadrant, for whatever that's worth.
I have it set at 1300 and performance and get 2582 how do you get 4200?

This was a fresh install with no other background tasks running. All we did was get the CM7 ROM loaded, OC Kernel and gapps.
I'll get some screenshots of his quad scores when he gets back from helping a buddy move. I think we took screenshots of everything 1250+. I might try getting a full reload working and see if I can break that barrier.
I'm running 1325 and the best score I can get is high 3100s.
Can you guys tell me what settings you have under performance menu?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I got similar scores to them and I used the default settings In performance... I think its a matrer of what you have installed and your device. Also don't worry about quadrant scores they are not that important. If your nook runs smooth what does it matter?

Each machine will have to be trial and error. Different device..even same hardware are really all different to one degree or another....example...I have 2 nooks..both running the same version of cm..and kernel...my second one never gets past 3200 on quadrant...go figure...same exact software running on both.
I did this test with benchmarks back to back on higher cpu frequencies, and i ended up with 1325 being the highest stable i could go. Very low 3000's for benchmarks in quadrent which dont mean anything of course, but there ya go. Runs like a champ.
Sorry for the ignorant reply...but what will overclocking actually do? I have a NC with a dual boot CM7 SDcard. Didn't do it, bought it from Jonathan on Ebay, works great!
Hello all just wondering later down the road if ics will have more overclocking speeds, perhaps 1300-1500 if that is possible, curious because my nook is lagging at 1200 (I'm sure you guys are already aware of the lag issue)
Thanks!

Try 1100 and/or 1000 and see if your lag becomes less cumbersome. Some of the processors used for our NC's become over stressed around these points of clock speeds.

ICS is a bit laggy compared to CM7 at the moment. Not many people push their NC above 1300 and even on CM7 that could actually have a negative effect on graphics performance. You can try a different Launcher like Nova to help with main screen navigation. Also playing with CPU governors can help. InteractiveX and OnDemand are not necessarily the best at the moment. Performance gives best results but will drain battery a bit faster; conservative can also work OK.
thanks both for your replys, i will be changing my cpu speed now and ill report how it goes
OK I'm on 1100 and its smoother, I can see the difference in my live wallpaper performance, thanks for your help guys

Hi
First post. Will try not to look the idiot or ask what has already been asked. Here goes, I am unable to find a kernel that actually improves my phone, i currently have the following -
Nexus 4
ROM - PSX V1
Moto x mod (great addition)
Stock kernel
I have tried two or three kernels including the new Trinity one which gave me a worse performance. Would someone point me in the right direction?
Could i also say a big thanks to PSX developer for a great ROM.
Regards.
Have you tried Franco...?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
did you try adjusting settings to your needs? considering the trinity kernel maxes at 1026mhz by default, until you adjust the cpu speed yourself.
So if I reinstalled trinity and used trickster to increase the cpu, I might get better results?
I haven't tried franco just yet.

Right after a bit of trial and error I reckon I have cracked it.
PSX v1
Moto x
Trinity kernel

9500
Up from 16500 and 6300.

Improvement is a subjective in this context. In what way? Faster? More features? Better battery life? Better sound quality? Better color? Smoother?
Benchmark means nothing. It is possible to apply the Samsung's dalvik cheat patch to your rom which will increase your benchmark score but yield no real world performance. With some settings you might get great benchmark, but the phone might get hot with poor battery life. Moreover, most benchmark programs do not tell the real story about performance. Antutu and Geekbench doesn't even work correctly with 4.4 and ART. iOS7 might get good scores sunspider javascript, but there are times when Android web performance outright beat it.
This thread falls in the category of "What is the best kernel/rom?" which is against XDA rules so I can;t help you. Research each kernel and read about its features and users feedback and find what is right for you. A lot of time stock kernel will give the best stability and battery life.
I use kernels mainly for features. There are other bigger factors about the operating system that determine battery life and performance.
What I wanted was faster and this certainly is faster. So I'm happy. Thanks for all your help.

Use latest PSX rom, put phone in freezer for 1hour, set CPU to 1800MHZ performance, GPU to 533MHZ performance if possible, raise overall cpu voltage, stop all background app, run benchmark.
