Terrible quadrant?

I went and did a quadrant test and scored worse than the normal evo, and I'm rooted and running cyanogenmod 7. I got 956 average on 3 tests. PS, performance 1075 on Setcpu

and?
quadrant means nothing

Run smartass at 1190.
Also which kernel?

Does Setcpu have a smartass setting? And the stock cyanogenmod 7 kernel.
Evo 4G
Cyanogenmod 7

Use tiamat or savanged
Also why use setcpu with the performance settings in cm7?

The best way to improve your Quadrant score is to uninstall Quadrant and stop worrying about it....

Ok. But where's the smartass setting?

Yeah you need to run a different kernel like I said.

Alright, I downloaded tiamat. Whats a good setup for those settings then?

Smartass and 1190 I find is best balance for battery life and performance.

QUADRANT IS NOT A GOOD BENCHMARKING TOOL.
Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE0hDwfzFOk&feature=player_embedded#at=322
Quit using Quadrant it is easily duped. Your scores can be increased easily in quadrant. You might even be able to follow the video and get better scores, so that way it will make you feel better.

Why is everyone so offended by the fact that this guy just wants answers on how to improve his benchmark?
Who cares if you find no value in it, he does.
Answer his questions and move on or ignore the thread.

I'm first going to reiterate what everyone else has said... don't worry about Quadrant, or benchmarks or any of that.
with that out of the way, the absolute best I've ever achieved is when I first got my phone and was pushing for high Quadrant numbers, and I was on an AOSP Rom and installed CM Turbo Kernel, like... 6. something, and I turned the "Turbo" feature on. got like 1850 after a few attempts. that's the absolute best, and it wasn't stable. was running 1190, on Hardware 002, which my phone did NOT like. I get about 900 now and I'm happy because my phone is usable for a full day!

Running a different kernel isn't the issue. Having the min clockspeed set low and running a benchmark that doesn't tax the phone enough for it to ramp up the clockspeed is the issue. Set the min and Max to 998 or more then run the benchmark.

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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium

I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?
My phone IS fast and stable, but now I think I need to work on better battery!?

Dim your screen. Go to (I think development) and put a chexk in kill background processes and leave no programs running. I also use toolbox pro to freeze apps that continuously run and use the mobile web version of them.

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?

Yeak I got a couple for ya.
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.

Ok Ive used Rom toolbox when I was using the Gummy rom. Would I still use devil kernel config or manager for the cpu and ram free value changes? How do I make sure the changes will always stick, ive had trouble with that after reboot.

I should say my running apps are usually not many. Right now its Rom Control, Android keyboard, Maps, Nova Launcher, and Rom Toolbox, and Superuser. I test my gps a lot with Maps. Otherwise I dont have a lot running since this isnt my daily use phone. I want it to be again but want to get it flying first.
Thank you for the good advice and help. Trying SD boost now...will try v6 and 3g speed boost later

I use v6 supercharger, sd boost, and app quarantine while at 1300 MHz and I still only get around 1500...I feel like that's pretty low for AOKP MS6 with devil right?

My galaxy has never been this fast! Tip to others :)

My galaxy is blazing fast and battery is ok, this is what I did:
Clean install of ICS F4K mod R4 linaro + devil 3.0.84 linarI.
Then made following settings in devil kernel configuration tool :
Governor: smartassV2
Scheduler: vr
RAM: 403mb
ZRAM: on
ZRAM size: 150mb
Swappiness: 70 (default)
Devil idle: automatic
Smooth UI: on
Governor profile: normal
Ultra KSM: on
All other settings are default, no overclocking not OCing.
Then on the developer settings I turned in the GPU rendering.
This installations and settings are making my phone super responsive and fast. I hope it can help our fellows here which might be annoyed with laggy phones.
Good luck in trying it out.
PS- remember to back up your EFS folder before trying this out!

Stupid advertising...

Its a pity you see it in that way... I just wanted to give a helpful tip, since I've got much help from this forum. Regarding the comments in ROM and kernel, those are just my opinion. There are other amazing ROMs and kernels as well in here.

Where did you get devil3 0.84 from? -_- last I checked there's no GPU rendering option in devil kernel configuration

Those are kind of test version released by DerTeufel. You can find it in his threads. But not on the main page.

Smartass is slower than ondemand anytime.
Zram is lagging system for a better multitasking.
SmoothUI only works on Lulzactive.
UltraKSM is using more CPU and making overheads.
Force GPU rendering setting is making force close on apps and never increases smoothness.
Why EFS backup is needed before trying some simple settings?
Please do more than ticking some settings and research them before making a thread for telling that it imporives the performance like magic.
Ok open nstools and set this;
Governor: Ondemand
Treshold: %50
Sampling Rate: 20000

Isn't lulzactive better than ondeman? Its a little slower but more battery friendly. Because it scales up slowly as the CPU load reaches the particular percentage (you can set it up via nstools)
Edit: SmoothUI can be applied to ondemand, smartassv2, and lulzactive. I think lagfree too but not sure.

Threshold is a value in %. As soon as the CPU load is higher than the (up)threshold is, CPU scales up. The sampling rate shows how often the CPU scales(looks for the CPU load and decides to scale up/down or stay on the current frequency).

You cant change the level of deep sleep mode, its a mode when cpu uses the least frequency which is automatically applied when your screen turns off with no activity in the background
