SGS2 VS SGS CM7 for speed. I am very interested in this. I find CM7s speed to be instant in most cases. Is the SGS2 still faster by a big margin? Would be nice if i could hear opinion from those that had both sgs1 and sgs2.

As far as speed, stability and batterylife goes, my stock unrooted SGS2 knocks my old cm7-sgs out of the game. Simply put, its awesome.
PS: Can't wait to put CM7 on it though
SGS II will be better as it has better hardware - e.g. dual core processor, more memory etc

remember, most people test speed by how fast quadrant runs. Best thing to do is to test them both yourself.
is cm7 really that much faster than normal SGS (not 2) ?
is no way that sgs will be faster then sgs2..
sgs with 1 core sgs 2 with dual core...

Not really. It's faster, but not like WAY FASTER.
CM7 is not much quicker than for example JVP. I ran both for quite some time now and I think I'll stick with sammy rom since I want to be able to take 720p video's and use fm radio.
Also battery life is a bit of a deal breaker for me.
OT. Sure sgs2 will be faster especially when sgs2+cm7 (when available)

It was much faster until gingerbread, now the difference is not significant IMHO
i wondered and tried, i guess there is no big difference.. besides i believe the main difference comes with a good optimized software.. sgs 2 should be %45-50 faster than sgs on hardware but i think its rom is better optimized than sgs rom..

I switched from JVP to MIUI, then to CM7.
MIUI is faster and smoother as JVP in everyway, but CM7 is not fast, it is instant. Test your Phone app after boot with JVP. I got sometimes 2 seconds latency.
The worst battery life has MIUI with its heavy UI.
With CM7 I got still a faster phone at 800 MHz. This is so amazing, I could not even believe it by myself.
Battery is running easly over 1 day with the current CM7 nightly.

Haven't tried JVP. But, tbh , never noticed that much speed difference between CM7 and stock GB.
However, stock GB, seemed to lag over a period of time, which didn't happen for me in CM7, while I was using it.
I have tried Galaxy S 2 (two models), one (probably because it already had quite a few apps and data), was not very smooth , esp. noticeable when loading gallery (took around 4s)...
The other one was super smooth and much faster than CM7..

To be more precise, Stock Samsung ROMs are fast after install. But with a lot of apps installed there is too less memory, because mostly usefull apps are reserving memory space in background. If I use aggressive memory configurations some important apps like launcher, phone and contact are thrown out of memory. This occurs also if I delete some crap at system. With Froyo this issue wasn't so much present like with Gingerbread.

I have a Vibrant rooted running the Team Whiskey Bionix-v1.2.1 ROM. I have a few apps that I use daily, but the only one I know does any major damage to speed is beautiful widgets. I don't use any live backgrounds. I scored a 1536 on a benchmark test from Quadrant Standard.
Do you guys know of ways to better these scores?
Use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer
Unless your phone actually feels sluggish I wouldnt worry about quadrant scores. If it is sluggish try installing Voodoo or one of the Universal Lagfix in the developers section.

I do agree that unless the phone is feeling slow to not worry about it. Quadrant is pretty easy to fudge over 2k even though the phone isn't any faster.

Haha yes I have voodoo, bionix-v1.2.1 comes with it preset. Appreciate the help.

actually, if you going for score some of the older J-rom series with over clock really scored high........ But with the current setup, you typically have 11-15 or so things that are open and TSR, if you remove alot of those to make it a vanilla barebones, then o.c it...... you can improve the score........ BUT speed scores are not worth much other than bragging rights.......... Like everyone else said if your phone is performing well then,..........who cares about the scores

Stock 2.2.1 is the fastest/smoothest ROM I've used on this phone ever and it hasn't even been optimized. I also downloaded the Dragon Kernel v3.6 and overclocked it to 1.28Ghz and its very stable. I always use my friends iPhone 4 to compare speeds and with the current setup I have now their isn't any difference in speed.
Is there a difference between these two kernels? They both have the same features. Opinion?

They perform exactly the same in my opinion
Roughly the same feature set, but categorically worthless kernel seems a bit more stable for me. Theres a more aggressive ram hack in ovedstock, possibly leading to the higher benchmarks. All I want is stability, stock frequency, and voodoo sound. Both are great kernels though, and come highly recommended. In the end you wont see much difference.

Don't be sorry, be yourself. With that said, they are not the same. I started with CW and ran quadrants of low to mid 1400's. Battery life decent, phone was snappy but not jaw-dropping. I moved to OS, and quadrant scores jumped to mid to high 1600's. Snappy would be a mild understatement for how the phone responded then. Battery life seemed better, but it could also have been a difference in usage. This was all with stock 2.2 ROM, mind you.
Now... I run Trigger with OverStock, quadrants are consistently mid 1800's, battery life is great, and snappy would be an insult because of how fast this thing screams!
Also, I haven't had even a sniff of instability with either kernel.
OS doesn't blow CW away, but it is faster, and compliments Trigger ROM beautifully, so in my over-confident opinion, it is the better of the 2 kernels.

Hi! i made a benchmark on the hd2 both with android froyo and ics hwa and i noticed that the rom with the higest point is the froyo one! i got 1100 for the ics and ~1400 for the froyo one, wich beated also the nexus s.
this is really strange because the gaming performances of froyo are terrible (i had ~2-3 fps with gta3), and it's also slow with the sense 2 homescreen management.
is this normal? thanks

Were both ROMs nand or SD? Cause the difference could be in the io speeds. You should post screen shots of both results
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
Yes it's normal because the phone devotes more resources to hwa, which is what makes your games fast. Phones get relatively lower quadrant score on ics. So it's not accurate to compare it if you changed os version. If you want, you can easily boost the score by ~1000 by installing data2sd, but you need a good SD card to feel the difference yourself.

Really?! Just goes to show, benchmarks aren't a valid way of proving speed. Perhaps it is as hengsheng120 said due to the HWA or something. Either way, ICS is definitely faster than Froyo.
yes as said, for me too ics is faster thank froyo, i just wasn't sure of the reason of this gap.
i don't think that it wold make any difference installing data2sd because of my old sd.
i agree with who thinks that hwa is making this difference, and that is an invalid information to compare OS's. ics is certainly faster with scrolling (the web browsing it's awesome) and 3d.
thank you all and sorry for my english XD

Actually, your English is pretty good. Yeah, even if I could get a score of 10000 on Froyo I'd never consider ditching ICS for it

Undoubtedly "HyperDroid V 6.0" by Pongester....it turns your phone to a dual core one with a V6 powerplant!

Definitely not, an ICS based ROM is the best e.g. NexusHD2. GB doesn't have full HWA and thus performance is not comparable to ICS.

But as far as ICS goes, yes i see the performance increase in it, but it has many issues still, although subtle, it does have lag spikes, even on an overclock.
Ιcs has better scrolling,you can write or edit more easy a big document but the issue that "kills" me and i went back to gingerbread is video playing.Also yes it can play better some games from ginger but not all games are compatible with ics and for some games you must move between newer and older ics hwa gpu libs.Cause older libs have more lag when moving between menus and newer libs cause some games to crash after 3-5 minutes of playing
In gingerbread you can play 720p videos,flash videos over 240p without lag.I am afraid that if we ever be able to get jelly bean,these issues will continue to be there

Battery drain is pretty much the same between CM9 and CM7 from my experience. Most of the time I can easily get a full day out of ICS with around 40% left.
Me too.I can get about 2.30-3 hours of full use with open screen in both roms
I really do think that the ICS roms must be better. However, i cannot play a few games on them -_-
The first one is N.O.V.A. 2 HD And the second one is Asphalt 6 adrenaline
Any clues ? NOVA lags like hell... It's almost unplayable
And asphalt just keeps showing the incompatible error -.-

Not much really. Just have JuiceDefender and SetCPU installed to try to minimize drain when screen off. When the screen is on, I really dont bother doing anything other than reducing brightness. Its actually a lot better than you'd think, I watched inception for an or and a half and only lost 24% of my battery. I've found it to be really inconsistent though.

Hi,
I´ve read that ICS has GPU acceleration for the UI implemented as a standard. Is there really a difference in smoothness compared to custom gb roms? I´m talking about the i9001. But it should be the same as with the i9000
Regards
Lekor
Can't tell the difference.
I'm on RemICS v1.2 with Devil Kernel 3.0.72. I set GPU from stock 200MHz to OC at 250MHz and I can't tell the difference. But the Kernel developer did say it may not work. Still experimental.
Afaik no big difference, although our GPU is powerful. Maybe stock ROM has other imorovements, so the boost isn't good to feel on ICS.

There are apks that use the gpu. In custom roms i saw that this is true on i9001
The stock browser in 2.3.6 uses GPU acceleration. There are other apps also, but not the OS UI.
In 4.0 custom rom it should work in the apps when you enable the option from the developer options.
No difference. Everything using 8 mb more ram with 200mhz GPU acceleration.

I see an awful lot of people saying it offers no improvements. Personally, I think it does.
I keep my phone up to date as much as possible. When ICS was stable, I jumped right in. I haven't ran Gingerbread in a long, long time—but from what I remember, it had some lag. Android, in fact, was known for this lag. You couldn't read an iOS vs Android debate without this lag being mentioned (at least when Gingerbread was the newest). And I had tried everything: every lag fix, every tweak, every ROM, every kernel, governer, scheduler, OCing, UVing—I tried it all. But I still remember there being lag.
Now I'm in the present. I've been running ICS since it was stable and, quite frankly, I don't notice that lag. I mean, yes, my phone does still lag—if I'm doing something processor intensive in the background—but not like my memories of Gingerbread. Back then, it would lag scrolling through my list of apps; it would lag doing menial UI rendering without anything running in the background. That simply does not happen anymore. Not in my experiences. Not with ICS.
Granted, as I did in Gingbread, I do in ICS—I've applied every fix, every tweak, and every possible software combination that I could get my hands on. I've tried every ROM, every kernel, every setting imaginable. And I do this because I've been thoroughly impressed by the community here at XDA. This device of ours is over 2 years old now. But the software progression does not stop. We move forward as if the hardware was built just yesterday. And I have to tell you, our phone is keeping up—it really is. My phone is faster than a lot of my peers, even with some of them having much newer hardware. And I honestly don't feel I could have said any of this if I had stayed far behind with Gingerbread.
Everyone wants a new phone. It's newer, better, faster. But what they don't realize is that software can fulfill a majority of their wants. It is a continuous improvement, however gradual it may be. To not want to upgrade your software is like not wanting to upgrade your phone. And let's be honest, who doesn't want a new phone—one that's newer, better, and faster—without ever having to buy one.
I do. And that's why I update my phone. But maybe that's just me.
