DHD ROM Benchmark Test [UPDATE Sept 12]

Hi!
I did a little ROM test.
Test requirements:
dhd rom
stable rom
all important function working
release date or last new version in this year (2012)
the development or the support is not discontinued.
Test process:
full wipe
clean install, themes, mods no installed
after the 1st boot, set up the wifi and add the google account
download benchmark from the market
wait 5 mins and restart
wait 10 mins and run the test
The results see here: http://hotlinx.net/rom-benchmark
Important! This is not a professional test. Only a little help

Wow... Thanks for the effort you put in this comprehensive test. The comparative results are interesting even though somewhat expected I guess.
But from what I've read they're not really a definitive indicator of the rom's overall performance.
Is it true that with little modifications to the rom you can double the test score without extreme overclocking and without any real performance improvements?

Wow this is awesome. Thank you. Gonna try out GB MIUI again. Numbers don't lie!

I didn't change anything (widgets, options, programs cpu etc.). All rom tested in original "virgin" status.
Of course you can change many things, but that's an another test.

It's interesting. I know "feeling" isn't exactly a science but i left cyanogenmod 7.2 to go to ice cold and there was a substantial improvement in speed with ice cold sandwich. So much so that I was willing to give up cyanogenmod which i loved, had all features working perfect, and of coarse 720 camcorder.
I've definitely contemplated going back on numerous occasions so my phone doesn't feel "half baked" with the graphical glitches, camera, some message notifications not showing up, etc. But the speed just feels so good...
Oh yea but the interesting part is it showed a lot lower in the benchmark scores.

My personal experience is the numbers sometimes don't show everything.
Example: MikRunny performance is only medium, but the feeling... very smooth, no lag.. perfect. Feel as fast as a MIUI or CM.

Im a sucker for free ram though. I always preach in the Atrix forum that benchmarks dont mean anything. People hate that.

I've used both of them (before the test) and I could feel the difference. The specific numbers shocked me, but the conclusion doesn't surprise me..
Otherwise, you're right! It's the feeling that matters, not the numbers

Seems like CM 7.2 is on the top.

Any chance of doing existz AOSPX build in the inspire section?
Good work on the testing tho.
Good to see all non sense roms on GB average over 2000. Where all Sense roms are below.

RD-MIUI is GB right? I'm looking for a nice ROM for a daily driver and for heavy gaming on my DHD. ICS ROMs are out due to problems with GPU drivers.

Edit: absolution and blackice are good roms. Rd-miui used to be my daily until I switched over to blackice. But almost all Gb roms are good.

[Q] Best Rom out there currently for TF101?

Hey guys, as you all can see I am "VERY" New here. I have been on this thread for 2 years now, and just now decided to make a Account.
Anyways away from me, and more to my TF101.
I am searching the Development Section of this Forum for the TF101, and can't find a Solid Rom for my TF101.
Any suggestions? I am currently on "Caliber 4" and It likes to Lag out of no where, and I experience slower performance over all.
So how about you guys Help a Comrade out?
Also if you could, could you list some "Possible" Bugs with the Rom? Thanks.

Best TF101 ROM.

I recommend Android Revolution HD (ARHD):

I have tried many ROM's but keep coming back to ARHD. It is the most stable and has all of the features I want.
Much more smother & stable than the stock ASUS ROM.

I use Teameos Jellybean with KAT 47B Kernel for everyday usage and it's fine ' bear in mind if you go the Jellybean route you lose FlashPlayer - but I believe there's a way around that to.

I'm also using team EOS with kat kernel 47b and you're right, it's very stable. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I have no complain at all. It's significantly faster and smoother than stock ICS...
Just install flash player. I am using Firefox beta with flash player and everything is working good.

Currently flopping between Mattmanwrx's Paranoid Android and Energy Rom by NRGZ28.....
Have to say im pleasantly surprised by Energy (i.c.s).....i was expecting it to be laggy compared to Jellybean but its not (apart from coming out the app drawer.....slightly)
Looks mint, performs amazingly - a well rounded experience!
Nice to be back on official based Asus for a change - and i feel that apart from ARHD, its going to be well supported unlike the other i.c.s roms.
As for stability and performance on Jellybean then i have to agree EOS is your best bet.....i just like how PA worked for me and the developer is really helpful.
Tough call....just try them all out :angel:

I'm using Revolver 4 by Gnufabio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768) and it runs very smooth and with a bit overclocking even smoother (1.5 ghz). I haven't recognized any bugs in two weeks now. It is based on ICS from ASUS but it's much better in performance compared to the stock rom. No reboots, no FCs just TF101 performing nice. I had problems watching 720p videos but now it's lagfree (using MXPlayer). The battery life is almost the same as with the stock ASUS rom. Give it a try, it is perfect for me, even without jellybean.

[Q] Best ICS Rom with the best performance Settings

Hey Guys,
Sorry for my bad english i'm german....
Can anyone tell me which ICS Rom on Gt540 is the best and which Settings in performance.
thanks for every Awnser

ICS roms are all bad in performance.
either you really wanna go for ICS (not recommended), then you may have a look on miroslav_mm's CM9 or rishab_raj37's AOKP
or you go for a very good performance and many many working things: AOSP 2.3.7 by miroslav_mm

i had AOSP 2.0 by Miro but after one week i have many performance problems it was only lagging and so on :S

can you tell me the best performance settings in AOSP 2.0 by Miro? it must have a good performance and a acceptable batterylife

Tell me what kind of performance you are looking for and roughly how much battery life you are expecting

that apps like whatsapp open really fast and that scrolling is without lag
the battery must hold with 3 hours whatsapp and standby one day

dude are you living in a cave..?

our LG gt540 is a (probably was a ) a entry level smartphone . so you can't expect to play dead trigger or most wanted on it...and talking bout games and performance its only a myth for our phone.talking by todays standards our gt540 is best only for light android usage,browsing ,small games and chitchat with gf's..so i must recomment you to STRICTLY USE ONLY RISHAB RAJ's ROMS cuz he takes best Roms out there and makes em even better.CHOOSE AOKP ICS BY RISHAB RAJ.no match for this if you want ics

From your description er... Stock 2.1 anyone??

when you install 2.3.7. on the GT540, will apps automatically be installed pn your sd card and not on your phonestorage?
If not, how can you deal with that problem?

AOKP was the best ICS for Swift

defy + choosing rom

Hi there, I'm new to the defy+ scene (not the android scene though) and after browsing for a while through the defy android development section I couldn't really tell which are the main-most popular custom roms for the DEFY+ (plus) ICS or JB versions (no GB) also AOKP/AOSP.
I'm looking for a rom that is very stable smooth (not necessarily the most powerful-fastest) and has good battery life.
Could anyone please help me out listing the pro & cons of the most popular custom rom for defy+ (like MS2Ginger, MIUI, CM9, aokp aosp..this list is by no means complete, so in case i'm missing some others, please let me know) thank you very much and sorry for the noobish request :silly:

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. Nowt that thread has been moved, could please answer my question?

This question has been asked so many times :silly:
Just take your time and search this forum. For example look here
I'm using myself this ROM. Different people, different wishes
My advice: download and try some of these ROMs and if you don't like it, try another one

in first place, a topic like this sounds like fishing for me...:cyclops:
mate, try miui v4 by stefan brown.
i've tryed many others roms before, and for sure this is the most stable, fast and trustable one so far.
i've tryed CMX for a while, but it lags a lot and still got random reboots.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, and what about CM9 ICS for defy+?

If you want speed,good battery life and true android experience ,you must try [CM10] Jelly Bean Cannon v8.1.1 .
And if you like MIUI style , there is Moto Ice Gun Edition V2.02 (CM10). But its not updated frequently ..thats the only disappointment
Then there is [ICS] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 by Epsylon3 ..which is being reported by its users as most stable ics rom ..although i have never used it :silly:
But as far as my experience goes,the most logical thing right now is to stick with CM7.2 because cm9 and cm10 uses a lot of RAM , and no matter how much you tweak it , it will be the same (laggy,low battery life,slow app switching rate).
And the most stable and performance based rom according to me is [CM7] WhiteRabbitNextGen Edition 2.1.1..i myself am using it right now...its best for games which tend to lag a lot in cm9/10...temple run2 plays without any lag...and we can switch app to app instantly...try it and u'll never turn to any other rom

Is Jelly Bean really that good?

Hey guys when I got Nexus S it's official software update was at 4.1.1 so it didn't make sence to tri GB or ICS roms, it felt like a downgrade, everyone wants the latest stftware, right? But I recently got to thinking that when Galaxy Nexus came out with the first ICS people who had a Nexus S didn't really hurry to upgrade case they knew that they would be getting ICS asswell, but now with 4.2 not being supported ofitially it makes since to change the phone. My point is that eaven if GB and ICS are older the develpoment was more alive, so what are your thoughts? Should I try Gb or ICS? Whats the best experience you had in terms of music, video battery life gameplay (eaven if I never play games on a phone) regardless of the software wersion. I should mention that I'm a flashaholic so it doesent matter what rom I use case I get bored with it pretty fast, I'm always eger to flash something on my phone.

ICS is laggy. GB looks and feels outdated. Jelly bean is your best bet for a complete user experience.
1. Install carbon unofficial rom: http://goo.im/devs/Gingo21/Carbon/Crespo/CARBON-JB-EXP-17AVRIL2013-161548-crespo.zip
2. Install voodoo sound app and configure.
3. Enjoy a lag-free overall user experience (limited to most games) and great battery life (although i experienced the longest battery life on slim 4.2.1 v1.1, but not as fast as carbon)
4. Don't expect your NS to be as fast as a quad core device. But it can be on par with a dual core device in terms of UI and gaming experience.

Yes I know a custom rom isn't going to do wonders, I was just curious about older roms that I didnt try, I'm actually on Carbon, the last nightly, but the unofficial seames to be better than all the nightly's put together, thank you

ICS is generally the most battery friendly (can last days), but laggy.

Difficult to answer
I've been using Carbon ROM with Marmite kernel 8.5(bigmem), the experience has been quite good, much better than these low end devices i have at home. UI is buttery smooth and fluid. Temple Run 2 is a bit slow-ish but i dont mind. Now the main factor, battery! yes its not that great, GB was the best i hear. I think my battery is faulty too, might go for a 2450 mAh battery.

There's only one bug as of right now that i know of, and that's the copy/paste force close, which is hardly a dealbreaker

If you have too many apps, 4.2 will be very laggy and have a pour battery life.
But i dont know how! Gamerz ROM still feeling like im on 4.1! Its fast and the performance is the best for a 4.2!
I have tryed all of those ROM in development thread. This is my favorite .
ICS is good two. Is a little slow than 4.1. But i liked it.
Just try some ROMs for a day or two. You will be pleasured ;/

yup will do, I'm on the flash everything chapter now

amazing sys

Jellybean is great but using it on the Nexus S is a really bad measuring stick to gauge Jellybean.. If you use the last official 4.1.1 build the Nexus S runs fair if you keep it as a minimalistic smartphone. (defaultish). Still.. It's more than obvious there is some severe limiting of performance due the single core CPU and severely limited amount of RAM.. 4.2.. Eh.. Too much.. I tried keeping my Nexus S active as just an MP3 player but PowerAmp randomly hitches during playback.. I put the phone to bed...

I have to say that generally speaking JB 4.2 is the best system that our Nexus S can run and the best user experience. We all know different usages means different results in battery life, lags, amount if free ram but in any case I feel confident in saying that once you have flashed a 4.2 rom there's no reason to go back to ICS or even to GB. It feels like an overall better experience and performance. Still, I wish the OS were a little more light on the small stock battery but hey, it's a decent tradeoff. Most of the time I'm on 2G data only because that's ok for my kind of usage (mostly emails and twitter) and with that the battery is quite decent.
The only issue that I have seen with the 4.2 roms I have tried is that after a few days (4 or 5) the cached apps are not recalled very quicly when launched. I usually reboot once a week and the problem is gone but in any case I don't feel dissatisfied at all.

I love jelly bean works great
