Why are my i/o scores so low??? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I benchmark no matter what ROM or kernel, my I/o scores are extremely low. What's wrong??

Its like that for everyone
Everyone who you see with insane scores is either using a special app or running a terminal command before that remounts all apps in a special way that yields much higher I/O scores.
I was confused at first as well. Don't worry, your device isn't defective.

btw.. in the devices main settings, developer options, enable force gpu rendering, your 2d score is low too. the i/o score is low for several reasons, disabling fsync will raise it. also, you can run this in your terminal emulator too. its a mount script, improves you ext4 fs. what rom kernel are you running? most already include the mount script and many have a fsync option.

mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /data /data(press enter)

the tkt app automagically runs the mount script when its opened the first time after boot. plus there is an on/off type switch for fsync included. thats where the difference is. you can turn fsync on/off with a terminal script also(in my signature) without the app.

Installed the app and did what u said. Amazing results! But I'm not sure that my I/o really is THAT much better...

Does that script also translate into better app and game performance though or does it just give better benchmark results?
Any downside to running it?

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!

I just got 1700! That is on stock, though. Are you all running OCed kernels or something? Or is the stock firmware just that slow...?

Overclocking

Someone suggested that I start a thread on the current overclocking situation on the TF300 so here it is!
Yes, the stock kernel supports overclocking to 1.5ghz
*Must be rooted
The best option at this point is the ezoverclock tool that is also being used for the TF201. This app allows you to overclock in a matter of seconds for free.
1. Download and install the .apk
.apk can be found on this page along with DrWowe who created the tool for the TF201 be sure to send him a thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526311
2. Open the app- allow su permissions
3. Make sure the highest setting is set to 1.6ghz. *note, while it says 1.6ghz you will only achieve 1.5, if you set it to 1.5 you will only obtain 1.4ghz. This is due to the fact that the app was build for the TF201 not the TF300)
4.Reboot- Enjoy your now overclocked Transformer Pad!
The AnTuTu overclock master tool has also been tested and confirmed working. Dimply download the app from the play store, open it and allow su permissions. Then set the settings to you liking. However I was getting slightly lower AnTuTu benchmarks while using this method. Probably because the governors are junk (like most overclocking apps).
I am sure there are other methods that are working but these two seem to be the most popular and best available! If you have anything to add feel free to comment or PM me and I will add it to the post. Happy overclocking!
**I take no credit for creating either of these tools, I am simply making it eaiser and more accessable to other TF300 users. I am also not responsible if your tablet blows up while using either of these tools.
Antutu overclock master tool not needed at all. all that's needed is that EzOverclock app. then also the free app from play store called CPU Spy. this is the true way of confirming whether the overclock it really active or not. as it will show whether its active or inactive.
if you want an app to mess around with governors, scale sliders, etc... the app called System Tuner Pro is the best. they have a free version also which works fine. this app is every system tweak app, speed tweaking rolled into one. alot more in depth than setcpu or that Antutu tool. check it out. tons of stuff to play with in there.

Already used CPU soy to confirm the ezoverclock tool as working as well as sticking though .reboots
I'm using antutu cpu master to underclock the device, I have it on max. 1ghz and min. 102mhz. It seems to spend more time in the lower steppings since I made that change (according to cpuspy). I'm still trying it out, to see if it will work for me and save some battery. I also have ezoverclock, I set balanced on 1ghz no need for higher clock since every game I've played runs great.

I have been using ezoverclock with the lowest setting at 1ghz. I seem to be getting much better battery life then stock this way. If I end up needing more power I simply click the performance button that Asus built in. Seems to be working great! It is a great feeling when you are able to under clock and still have plenty of processing power
Does it use more battery at 1.5Ghz? Battery monitor widget shows info.

It is using more battery, although it does not seem to be a huge difference. If you do not need the overclock simply click on balanced mode to save some power. If you are like me and play hard core games on high detail then turn on performance mode when needed.

Quadrant scores!!!

Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:
Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.
Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.
That's it. Thanks guys and here is my quadrant. AOKP 40.1 devil .97 with v6 super charger and kak

Hey azuma how did you get your CPU so high? Also I need you to test something for me. Antutu tels me I'm pulling over 3200 in a quad. But quad pro tells me just over 2600. I'm unsure which to believe

Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.
(first screen capture)
old rom: AOKP 40
old kernel: devil .79
old CPU governor: smartassv2
min-max frequency: 200-1400
(second screen capture)
Current rom: AOKP 40
Current kernel: devil .79
Current CPU governor: conservative
min-max frequency: 100-1400
I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?

Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again

Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.
Get if not already had toolbox
And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)
Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.
After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.

[POLL] Which CPU governor do you use the most?

I know polls existed like this before but I was curious which governors are most commonly used in my gingertiny and incredikernel kernels as there are quite a few options though looking at the list not too many. I didn't put performance on the list even though it's an option in my kernels or at least one of them as it's not great on battery. Feel free to post comments about why you choose it. My choice is actually smartassV2 but there are other good ones as well.
I voted for lag free, but smartassV2 is a close second. I have always used smartass and smartassV2, untill lagfree was introduced. Lagfree just seems to have a little better balance between speed and battery consumption, at least in my opinion.
Been using sa2 but switched back to lag free and all is back to being smooth on ics linaro.

Good read on Gov's.nice explanation of how each Gov scales the CPU under load/idle

Thanks for the read - It's tough to wade through all the differences all over the web, so seeing a single spot for all the info like that is great.

How Important is it to change the I/O
After you choose the governor how important is it to choose the right I/O.
It may be worth giving interactive another chance in the latest incredikernel releases.
