Stock 4.0.3 scored 900 only - Nexus S General

I tried a full benchmarking usijg quadrant app. And it only scores 899. No kernel just a 4.0.3 stock rom. Oh God. I dont want this. 5k will be good. LOL

And still it is 10 times smoother than the AOSP roms that scored 2400. Time to forget Quadrant guys.

Quadrant scores don't matter one last bit. It's the UX you get while using the phone that matters, and as ICS is at least as smooth as GB there should be no need to complain about some test scores.

and another thing is that Quadrant is still isn't optimized for ICS I remember when GB was released it wasn't optimized for GB also ... =] havn't u seen how low scores Galaxy nexus got on quadrant? it's simply because it isn't properly supported nothing else =] and yea scores don't even matter ICS running smooth as silk =]

It is smooth as hell except when you open the center which has the applications and widgets, kinda laggy

Quadrant score

What rom has the highest quad score for the vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Depends on many factors, not just the rom. There's also the Kernel, OCing, UVing and even the launcher.
Highest I have had without an overclock was 2456, and that was on Simply Galaxy v3 RC3 (Port from i9000) with all the tweaks engaged. It was very very fast. Faster than any other ROM I have used, even with overclock. Hell, if I could OC with that ROM I would bet that I could break 3000+ quads easy. But quads are worthless. You just have to try using the phone with the speed of that ROM. I didn't know the vibrant could be that fast.
Running Trigger right now. Get anywhere from 1400-1600. Runs ok. Was just wondering what some of the other Rome were capable of. How is the Simply Galaxy rom? I personally don't know anyone who has used it.

2750 Quadrant.
Darky 9.5 Froyo 2.2.1 base rom, 1.48Ghz Bullet Kernel linked in my sig.
Phone is FLYIN. Gingerbread 2.3.3 builds can go higher (but have bugs).
I got a Quadrant of 3300.....!!
I was using my TI-83 calculator with a tic-tac stuck in the DC in slot!
2000 flat w/ bi winning V2 no OC w/ voodoo. VERY FAST though. Quadrant doesn't give it justice.

I have a 3500 quadrant. On top of that, my battery increases 2% every hour as a result.
I'm running Android 3.3 on mine. 4700 quadrant score and when I plug my usb up to my laptop the phone charges it.
5000 with a V8 hemi under the hood!
With the battery in, I get around 16K but I only get 8K if I take the battery out.
I'm using the FBS ROM.

I second this.
So useless of an app, it has nothing to do with the actually smoothness and snapyness in any phone. Sometimes I feel it's scores are the other way around, the lowest you get the better your phone is
I'm a total lurker, but after "bricking" my vibrant about 3 weeks after getting it home last Fall and discovering the fix here, I've been tweaking, wiping, flashing, odining, and having a helluva lot of fun with it. I'll probably betray myself as still being a noob, but I see everyone kind of poo-pooing Quadrant as meaningless (and other benchmarks, it seems). Is there any objective measurement that you guys consider worthwhile?
I thought I was all hot **** for breaking the 2K mark, but I guess none of that matters?
Trigger 3.2 with Bullet 1.42...just added bullet, so currently OC'd to 1.2 while I get a feel for what the phone can handle.

On Biwinning with o.c. I am getting 2580 ....... but it does not perform ant better than leaving the clock @ 1000 so I leave unclocked ......... I get great battery life then...........
Quadrant is amusing...
but it's not always telling of how a rom actually performs. Back in the day when we were using the OCLF, quad scrores were in the 2k range and that was with 2.1
That being said, I felt compelled to post this anyway, mainly just to show the cpu score improvement that we get with gingerbread. My phone was running Cyanogenmod7 at stock speeds. Comparing quadrant scores between roms that are all based off of each other is pointless.
The 1815 score is from CM7
The 1755 score is from MIUI
MIUI performs great, but it's not as buttery smooth as CM7. But from the two scores you wouldn't see that. More importantly I think this also lends to what I said about comparing two scores between roms that are based off of each other.

(MOD) Adrenaline

I seen this on one of the Samsung Forums while looking for my girlfriends phone and Root instructions.
I have not installed it yet, But will test as soon as my phone is done charging
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
Trying it now. Not any real noticeable difference so far. Quad scores are the same. Running G3D with Ziggys newest.
Good find tho...... maybe this could help some people out if their phone is lagging.
Thanks
I'm running liquid vigor and imo 4.1.0 @ 1.4ghz and this killed my phones performance. Quadrant scores went from around 2500 to about 1000, and linpack went from 50ish to never getting over 30.

Show me your ICS Quadrant score

Hi. I'm wondering how much Quadrant score you achieve on ICS Defy. I've got my Moto 2 days ago and I really like it, but I'm having pretty low scores compared to what I've seen, like 2300+. I'm on 0204 Epys build with green lens, 7th V6 option, @1.1 GHz. My best was about 1850. Also for example GTAIII is not always smooth. So tell me your scores and how did you achieve it

Quadrant scores are too less. That stops me from using any Cyanogen Mod ROMS.
So far only F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM remains unbeatable in Quadrant scores (without overclocking or any other kernel) Scored around 3800 :good:

High Quadrant scores aren't exactly a reliable standard for a ROM being 'good/bad' or 'slow/fast'. I've used CM10 for a few weeks and over 5 runs in a row Quadrant tested 2754, 2330, 2600, 3100 and 2982...
It's nothing more then a short and fast measurement, and the results aren't consistent at all.
I find daily usage of my phone with a smooth, responsive and reliable ROM far more important then the outcome of a few tests that took 1-2 min....

I think Quadrant scores don't mean much. It doesn't really mirror the user experience fluency. It's pretty much just a number.
Just for the record, I've got the score of 4K on CM9.

But it affects gaming performance. I only bought Samsung Galaxy S2 for Gaming purposes not for development n other stuff....
Btw how did u got 4K on CM9..?? You probably must have Siyah or any other kernel and Overclocked ..I scored around 2800 on CM9 on all default settings..Just after I flashed that Rom

A high score during a short test doesn't have anything to do with gaming-performance.
Again: quadrant scores are useless when you're talking about overall performance

It is. If you score less than 3000, heavy games like NOVA 3 gets too much laggy and unplayable (In Multiplayer) unless you over clock.
So I'm not saying that CM10/CM9 is useless, I'm only saying that those ROMS are not good for gaming purposes. You guys are taking my words wrongly.

Aside from quadrant scores meaning absolutely nothing, it should probably be noted that this video is done on the T-Mobile USA model, the SGH-T989. Which has an inferior chipset/CPU. So of course the scores are low.

Back to Gingerbread

I've noticed a lot of talk about Jelly Bean and ICS being slow on the Nexus S. So, has anyone reverted back to Gingerbread? It's been so long, I don't even remember what GB is like.

Yep, I use Bugeless GPA19, stock kernel is OK, but if you want 30mb more of free RAM use Glados 1.12.
Nope. If you keep your running apps under control I believe Jellybean is just right on the Nexus S. =)

2 days ago i tried GB again, its not that much faster...
The only thing faster in gingerbread was installing apps and opening up search.
Jelly bean has vsync so you dont get screen tearing which was everywhere in GB, apps open up quicker in JB, the camera is much faster, the browser is much smoother and last but not least the stock launcher never crawls to a halt like it sometimes used to in GB and had to be restarted. I am not talking about launcher redrawing but in GB sometimes it would just start stuttering from one home screen to another and had to be restarted.
And I may not remember correctly this one but kinetic scrolling seems faster and smoother in JB than I had ever experienced before in ICS and GB.
The one area of disappointment for people comes from gaming. Well an OS with so many more features is obviously going to take more ram and games are going to get more and more demanding so it is not unreasonable that a new OS makes the phone a less capable gaming device.
Yeesh! I used to have GB. I cannot go back there after running JB. Just CANNOT!
It's like using iOS or BADA.
My NS runs JB smoothly. No flicker no lag. Using Jellybro Rom.
How can you say no, look at the quadrant results
GB (no oc) - 2500
JB (no oc) - 1250
RAM left (same number of running apps)
GB -160-180M
JB - 90-110M
I would never let a quadrant change my view of an os! Im using black bean with matr1x and dont have anything to complain! Gb is ugly and i believe it wasnt faster! As a matter of fact, my phone doesnt feel slow at all...

Quadrant is the worst benchmark to go by... A monkey high on PCP can alter i/o scores. And GB not using available RAM is actually a bad thing and will slow things down.

Please people, forget about listing synthetic benchmark results as a ultimate measure of the phone. Nobody cares if GB scores twice as much points in Yet Another Very Accurate Benchmark, when JB feels faster and more responsible in everyday usage.
I haven't even thought of downgrading. Why switch to an old out of date unsupported OS When you have access to the most current.
I think the prob might be in your choice of ROMS/kernels try AOKP or Slim with AIR BigMem and freeze or remove the system apps you don't use. Has been working great here. No complaints.

I could not go back to Gingerbread after JB, it would be like riding a stallion and then going back to a donkey. The JB interface is so much better than GB and using BlackBean 6 I have no lag at all and it's so smooth!
I agree jelly bean is slightly faster then gb as im users who use over 160+ apps and notice in each faster from 360 mb to 380 ram of 512 use. I have 140 mb left on jelly bean compare to 80 on ginger.
Another thing is when u have no apps download your phone have JB 240 mb free of 360-380 of ram the os show.
GB It was about 210 mb ram left free and 150-70 mb used up for apps preinstalled. 230 mb for os overall.
Like my bionic have 840 mb of ram of it 1,024 mb of ram
Single core
guyz jb and ics are optimised for multi cores.
GB is the best for single cores.
are you sure?
back to Gingerbread?
if you looking for stability and speed, JellyBean it is..
I know.. ICS is a bit sucks..especially 4.0.3
but JellyBean? it's awesome...really awesome...
forget about benchmark scores..it's just pain in a butt, LOL
as long as you run your apps smooth.. what's the benchmark score for?
unless you're the benchmark geek

Best in what aspect?
I'm on JB now and sometimes considering going back to ICS, but I have zero desire to go back to anything else. ICS is the first version of Android that I feel I can use stock, with regards to performance, UI design and functionality. JB is a smoother ICS, with the caveat of faster battery drain.
Jb just need ram. 512 mo is the minimum i think.
envoyé de puis mon Nexus s, aiiiiight ! (Michel rules the world)
I tried going back to ICS once, and couldn't do it. I certainly couldn't go back to GB. Too many nice features have been added that I just wouldn't be able to live without ...
I have some Pros of GingerB
*GB battery life is much better than JB. Specially in standby.
*Animations are faster (feels much faster)
*Scrolling is faster
*More available memory at boot.
However JellyB Software is awesome, I love it on my GN and N7. However for the Nexus S I use GB, it isn't fancy but gets all the job done and excellent battery life.
