Benchmarks: GB vs ICS vs JB - Xperia Arc General

Just for the curiosity sake, I did Antutu benchmark this morning on last ICS update, (unrooted, untouched bootloader). So, completely clean ICS with few applications installed, but nothing spectacular or heavy on resources.
It would be nice if someone could do the same benchmark on stock (and as clean as possible GB) just for the comparison sake. So that we could compare some things and see how much is ICS really slowing down our phones, and is our whining about ICS "crappiness" a little bit exaggerated.
Edit: Since people started posting various non-stock benchmarks, I'm changing thread name, and erasing stock prefix in front of ROMs. Till now this is general Arc S benchmark comparison thread.

Stock ICS 4.0.3 Tweak with doomkernel running.

Thanks for reply, but I would really like to see benchmark from stock untouched GB.
Btw, even considering your "tweaked" ICS, the gap is not that big at all.

GB.

Not big gap at all. And yet again, ICS feels so un-smooth compared to GB.

Well this is something...

Stock ICS 587 fw with 65 apps already installed.
Well ICS is well known for its not smooth behavior.
On Nexus machines also.
So that's Google's feature, not Sony's.

How did you manage to get this score on stock ICS (overloaded with apps)? Quite amazing result you have. Yeah, ICS seems a bit choppier in general, compared to GB... Whatever ICS phone I played with, seems a bit choppy.

Not stock ICS, but thought I would share anyways.
First AnTuTu Run
CyanogenMod 9 (CM9 Kernel)
Approximately 40 apps installed

Great score Auxilium, no doubt...
What I've learned till now from this benchmarks, is that stock ICS is not that much weaker than stock GB, without any modifications. So the only explaination of choppier ICS behaviour is that ICS is choppier by its nature, compared to GB, and that it's not that much related to SONY and their "incompentence" as we like to say quite often.
And also, ICS obviously can score quite impressive results with some modifications.

Just deleted some apps from system.
Stock kernel with no cwm (using x-part) and link2sd.
(I guess if I didn't just restored Currents and Google+ it could score few points more).
Fully agree.
Kind Regards.

I get 4174 with Arconium GB and Doomkernel.

Stock Quadrant Score with 2.2?

Hello ladies and gents of the Vibrant forum. I'm a G2 user thinking about returning his G2 tomorrow for a Vibrant. What is the Vibrant stock Quadrant score with the OTA 2.2 update? Already tried search.
The OTA was not 2.2, it was an update to 2.1.

Oh.
Nevermind then.
Hmmm
There's no 2.2 update yet... sorry
Are you guys serious?! Eugene released a stable 2.2 ROM this morning!
With just a stock 2.2 flash youre looking @ 980 on quad & 14.xx @ 5.9 sec on linpack.
As always though... Benchmarks dont mean jack! From personal experience this phone is awesome! If I stopped flashing it so damn much I'd be able to get 20+ hours on the battery too!
I believe the 'stable' rom you're referring to has broken GPS still.
Also, I think the op thought that the recent update was an official stock 2.2...
Anyway, the quadrant score is around 819 stock but with different mods, a good stable score is around 1600

I think what the OP wanted was a 2.2 vibrant score w/ JIT enabled... eugenes ROM has it.
Stable means usable & will not die or cause nuclear war. Perfect ROM? No... Only working 2.2 ROM working (minus GPS & a few other things not working) on the vibrant, yes.
exactly what does stability & usability have to with a mathematical bench mark test? are you referring to hacks & mods vs. hard code? Stability wise? # wise??
I just got 1903 after using the z4mod (ext2) on JI6:

I'm sorry, I don't like when people put benchmarks down. I happen to believe that some of the benchmarks, including Quadrant Professional are accurate and reflective of real performance. Then again everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

exactly what i was about to say. who cares about 2.2 when you can flash a bionix rom and hit up to 2600 on quadrant. not that quadrant really means anything more than a benchmark.
I think OP is looking for a official froyo 2.2 rom...Sorry OP, no official froyo, but there is a ported version eugene has done.
Click here
Although this is a "froyo", no one is sure if this can be an accurate representation of how our vibrants will run when we get the official OTA, but if you want "froyo" now, by all means go ahead and flash it. Its still missing a few kinks and has bugs.

here's mine all stock GB
Think my highest was 1330 or something like that.
That is on Doom's prerooted ROM, with a few apps removed, and Z's FPS uncap.
1k 1st run
1.1k 2nd run
1467, second run.
Stock 2.3.3 with SPB Shell.
Around 1200 in first run and 1430 in 2nd !!
1st run 930, 2nd run 1109, 3rd run 1030.
How are you guys getting 1400+?
I'm using the prerooted ROM, but thats it.
Here's my best using Ewjet ginger rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16136301&postcount=65
1st run 1300+ 2nd 1492
The GB update has tweak the I/O from 500-600 on 2.2roms to 700+ in GB
1st run 990
2nd run 1230
With basically everything I need installed.
Seems about right. I always got a bit lower scores than the rest of you whichever ROM I used. I'm guessing it's component imperfections
I always get higher score in Quadrant Advanced(1.1.6 and below) than in Quadrant Standard. I have got 1800+ in Quadrant Advanced using MIUI 1.7.22 with DooMLorD's kernel. Better use Quadrant from Market to report the scorers ?
In Wolf's 2.3:
Quadrant Advanced : 1450
Quadrant Standard : 1121
1020-1040 for 4 times of trying, never get below 1k but also never get above 1.1k.....using WB TW GB 2.3.3
1004 first run
1176 second run
Quadrant Standard
1450 first run.
Using WB 2.3, I got ~950 the first run. By the 4th run, I got 1304. Linpack is between 36-37.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
3rd run 1307 !! Didn't see that coming
Highest I got is 1377..
with some tweaks from Z, and 2.1 teaks (im pretty sure it doesnt work, but i added it anyways lol)
quadrant stnd - 1683 with some of my tweaks, but i go back to my miui, on this backstab lags like hell , after my tweaks , it doesnt , on my miui all games without lags. I tried asphalt 6 is so laggy on stock 2.3.3 after my tweaks not on mtt miui to. The stock 2.3.3 is good but after very good tuning, but customs will better than 4 ever, maybe, . On miui i have a lot of more points in quadrant, but for me these all quadrant score testers are one **** of falses. I use them only for checking how many fps i have on my kernel, nothing more.

Always between 1430 and 1480 on 2nd run (WB 2.3.3). Quadrant advanced.

Tried both Darkforest and JJ's rom
Both had bugs glitches (part of the screen was cut off)
also battery life was shorter than gingerbread

Enjoy
I've noticed a small battery decrease as well from switching from GB. I had to underclock Darkforest to get the same amount.
Still great tho. Just a little slow.
I've only tried regular beta and Darkforest, but I did try 3 different kernels. I found the Darkforest kernel had better battery life than the ICS doomkernel, but worse than advanced stock (when they haven't been tweaked)
The difference in battery life for me between ICS and gingerbread is immense. And as you can see in the Darkforest thread, I had severe graphic errors, lockups.. I thought maybe my hardware was screwed but;
Went to jokawild with doomkernel 11 and all the glitches went away. And my battery life is 2x longer at LEAST. Hour and a half of use took me down to 60%. On ICS the same amount of time killed the battery completely. And I haven't even finished tweaking this gingerbread yet..
Also, ICS was laggy. Constant slight lag, occasional large spikes. Gingerbread when configured right is really fast. If you mostly want ICS for the way it looks and not features, get an ICS theme and stick with gingerbread. The new features, especially changes to system menus and browser, and gapps were great, but simply not worth it IMO.
As time goes on and things speed up, I'm sure it'll become more worthwhile, but not right now

Definitely Sony's ROM and kernel.

The fastest ROM (GB or ICS)

If there is a topic about this, ban me, but show me.
If not, only show me.
I've tried ROCKET ROM and it's ok, but I wonder if there is another faster ROM somewhere...
I don't care if is based on GB or ICS and I don't care if your suggestions don't offer all the facilities of the phone, I just want the fastest ROM possible for Note.
I like Midnote ICS.
I'm on Kingdroid Deluxe v 7.0 and it is really quick. I like all the customizations too. It is based off Gingerbread
I'm on AlBa ROM and I hafta see, it does certainly feel and seem faster than GB on CheckROM, even though ICS ROMs are limited to 1.2GHz due to kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Try Imilka CM9-v01 , thats perfect ICS or Cassie's XtraLiteRom Version X LC1 for Gingerbread base rom.
It's hard to say which is the absolute fastest but try Imilka's CM9 or ICS Stunner. Both are super quick. Personally I feel CM9 is quicker of the two, it's lighter as well. Stunner has A LOT of tweaks though! Best ICS ROMs IMO!
ICS roms are the fastest and CM9 and ICS Stunner are the best. Stunner is a slightly quicker I think but CM9 is better overall.
I've tried both CM9 and Stunner extensively, and have found stunner to be the smoothest =). Just remember to use flash fix, and enjoy euphoria!
YMMV though because many people seem to be reporting issues with 4.5, but I'm having zero issues. Love it.
Gb its checkrom. For me its been the fastest. V5.
Gb is cassys xtralite rom
Ics is neobudds stunner
Done ha ha

I find GB roms generally are less buggy and have less audio distortion. Can't comment much on speed since I have a fast phone and both run fine, but audio distortion is less apparent in gb roms.

Haha this is exactly what I was go III Ng to ask open.
Fast in benchmark or UI smoothness or App/game running speed?
Anyway I love checkrom been using all of the version since checkrom,never let down once. Too bad my ICS gas gone hot, gotta jump ship.
Tried ics stunner and teamrocket. Both are MUCH faster and smoother in every single area. Overall ics just have the slick feel that no any GB can deliver, not even close!!
didn't do benchmark though, my opinion solely based on user experience, not benchmarking .
I really love ics stunner ,very fast and stable but u lose Samsung apps and full function spen.

ICS On Galaxy SII

I just managed to get ICS on my SII! Waited for so long and a little disapointed... There isn't that much of a difference from what I can see.
What were you expecting?
ICS is good as a secondary rom. This goes for official samsung releases as well as cm9/aosp/aokp.
Stick with gingerbread. It's still the best.

I'm not going to compare AOSP/AOKP roms with Samsung ICS. They are a joke compared to what you get in a stock samsung firmware.
Comparing samsung ics and gb... GB has less gestures and small polished features (contacts, dialer) however it offers the best browser on any phone. As a comparison, install flash player and open up youtube.com, scroll down and switch to the desktop version. Compare scrolling. zooming in. Now try to play a video using the browser. GB is super smooth never lags. Same goes with big websites that have lots of ads and flash content.
GB never force closes. It's super stable. It doesn't eat as much battery with screen on. It doesn't have the data usage info, nor the fancy task switching.
Also the stock samsung gallery is awful compared to what you get in aosp ics...
However, overall I rate it the highest for stability, functionality and great battery life. I'm sorry but ICS just doesn't cut it for me. To be honest I wish they would put out an anniversary gingerbread build with everything maxed out (like they do for the I9001 for example).
I'm not hating on ics. It's a step forward, it's just it hasn't reached the level of GB in terms of daily usage. Maybe one day.
if it wasnt for this free community android would be a mess or the manufacturers may feel obliged to make a better rom,
when you think about it samsung must use thier Android phones stock i wonder if they think its sufficient
go with hydrog3n-ICS ROM
