Stock kernel performing better than franco.Kernel? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I ran antutu and benchmark pi on stock ROM+stock kernel and I got:
Antutu:18096
Benchmark pi:440
I flashed Franco r143 and ran antutu and benchmark pi and got:
Antutu:15526
Benchmark pi:557
I read everywhere that franco's kernel gave better performance so.....something wrong with my phone?

Nothing is wrong with your phone.
Stop doing benchmarks on your phone. Benchmarks are sh!t.

If you honestly judge performance by benchmarks then I don't know what to say.

But how else would I brag to my friends?

I'd say the battery performance of Franco kernel comes with a price.

I just ran a test and got this on r143

benchmarks dont prove anything

I've always found the stock kernel to be smoother. I only use Franco because I get double the battery life out of it.

Benchmarks are just a number. It means nothing when it comes to daily performance.
Franco Kernel is the same as stock kernel in terms of performance, but most likely faster. If its not faster then its something going on with your setup such as: ROM, bad apps, bad configuration when it comes to settings [did you try clearing app cache for franco kernel updater etc]

Why does gs4/htc-one get higher benchmark scores? Because they are faster.
OP you are probably getting lower benchmarks because the kernels governors are set frugally to save battery.

And yet I have yet to see my N4 lag whilst every video of the S4 I see shows lag at some points and every review I've read confirms random lag. Don't try and defend benchmarks, they mean absolutely nothing.

Properly done benchmarks means whatever it is designed to mean. For example, a super computer benchmarked at 1.4 teraflop makes the designer who developed it to run at 1.4 TF extremely happy.
An apps that spew out a number that is supposed to quantify your phone's quality is bull****.
However, I do agree that stock kernel is perceivably smoother than Franco kernel though

It's probably because stock kernel is using Ondemand as it's default Governor. Frequencies go on-line more often than Franco's hotplug settings on Interactive.

No, the gs4 and htc-one really are faster as the benchmarks show... Software is a different matter.
Lag is generally caused by governors set to race to idle too aggressively on android. Some launchers cover this up better than others.

Their hardware might be faster but their software is not which completely proves my point that benchmarks are not an accurate reflection of performance. The fact that results vary so much on the same device with different software shows that they aren't a way to measure hardware performance either.

Benchmarks were never meant to be an 'accurate reflection of performance'
Benchmarks are a very accurate reflection of the performance potential and hardware of said device.
Devices with better performance 'potential' and hardware are faster devices, period. Whatever hang ups software is causing has nothing to do with it, and benchmarks are not meaningless.. some people just get the meaning wrong.

Benchmarks are not meaningless, but there is no way to effectively measure benchmarks on a cellphone.

Bencharks are differnet cause stock kernel and custom kernel works differently..also..mpdecision are gone from custom kernels...they are enabling cpu's differently from stock kernel...if you wanna brag about it at your friends...simply show them your version number at 10th June..and give them your nexus 4 for 5-10minutes..without say nothing to them..

Quadrant standard is overrated unless you just like those pretty numbers.

Considering a actual voodoo kernel (not leak) has yet to be released, that is expected. 1Ghz is just the normal max speed for the fascinate, so nothing surprising there.

The phone runs fells like it's running faster and smoother to me than it did on 2.1 with a custom kernel. Quadrant score is lower though, so does that mean my phone is slower? No. Quadrant is just a test, its results mean absolutely nothing in terms of actual performance. If it did, that'd mean that Snapdragons are the superior CPU/GPU combo, when we all know that the Hummingbird is the most advanced chip in a phone outside of the Tegra 2.

Im getting about 1600 on eb01 on voodoo kernel without i get in the 900s but it may be because the voodoo kernel by jt is still in testing stage and he may not have it just right yet but knowing how good he is i am sure he will have it perfect soon.
I scored just over 1000 on EB01 non-voodoo but it really doesn't mean squat! I dunno why it doesn't score higher cause it fly's the way it is now... I mess with a friends Dinc all the time and I can see a huge difference in "Real World" use!

Hahaha... Too funny
Benchmarking is good for 2 things, and ONLY 2 things:
1. Comparing a device to itself with different configurations to determine performance increases (like JIT vs non-JIT, voodoo vs non-voodo, etc).
2. Comparing one device to another with the same software configuration to determine build quality, find a hardware fault, etc (i.e. 2 identical SGS phones with identical software configuration, but one scores 1,500, and the other scores 600).
Other than that, benchmarks are nothing but pissing contests where one or both participants could be aiming into the wind at any given time (no matter the situation, someone ends up all wet).
Think I found an answer for you.

same problem on my evo.... summary = newest version of quadrant is to blame.
I was getting damn near 1600 on Jt's aosp 2.2 w/o voodoo but meh
yeah i get like 943. The quandrant scores don't lie: 2.2 has slowed our phones down immensely.

Is it just me??

Or have you guys also noticed increased lag and a decrease in performance when flashing to a custom rom? I did the quadrant benchmark on stock rom and on a few custom ones. The stock always scored like 4k higher. I know that doeant mean much but even just the basic performance and game play on the phone with a custom rom is decreased. Maybe its just me? Ive always flashed roms currectly and let them cycle through the battery a few times to settle.

Not as all especially not from a stock touchwiz rom to a cm 10.1 rom, cm 10.1 doesnt benchmark as high, thats just the way that works. The drivers and such dont give it such a high score, but it definitely performs better then stock at most times. unless you're running a nightly which you are. Its kind of buggy at the moment.

Ya I do agree that nightly's aren't the most stable but I can say I have pretty much had a lag-free experience. I prefer CM over TW hands down.

These benchmarks are built around the hardware AND software of the flash on the phone. Simply put, they just generate a number based on how well your phone supports the benchmark. AOKP scores like half the points then Stock TW, yet it's significantly faster and more efficient all around the board.
NEVER base your phone on a software benchmark.

Benchmarks aren't testing the hardware directly, they use the software drivers to access the devices. The driver differences between ASOP and Stock TW are pretty substantial. To use those benchmarks to compare the two roms is not accurate by a long shot. If you were comparing CM Build 1 to CM build 4 to CM Build 6, sure, you can use it for a baseline to get a general idea but nothing is better than real world use for testing.

With the trinity kernel you can over clock up to 1.7, also there's a faux kernel that you can go up to 1.7 but its useless anyway, your tablet won't perform better because you over clock it.

Better in performance of course. Over clocking the tablet can deplete it's life span. Battery life will take a huge hit too.

For me overclocking is totally useless. You won´t recognise a difference between no oc and oc... only in benchmarks, but your battery is draining faster and it´s getting hot

overclocking to higher frequencies will make the battery drain faster and it will get it hot but I only overclocked 300 MHz to reach 1.6 ghz and it's perfect ,it operates normally and it never got hot . I also changed the GPU frequency to 533 by trickster mod .

this is partially right I think it will effect the battery when the kernel request those extra 300 MHZ but it will also save the battery since I made the minimum frequency to 100 MHZ .

There's a principle called the law of diminishing returns and it applies perfectly to this situation. The reason that kernel devs don't include higher frequency steps is that there is no real benefit. At higher frequencies, you introduce lag, random reboots, boot loops and general instability. Performance and frequency are not a linear corollary. Additionally, you exponentially shorten the life of the hardware by clocking too high. 1.6 is safe for most, 1.7 for some, and 1.8 for very few.

franco kernel is stable . and also motley very safe and stable . and ofcource there is a difference "curlie" there is no lagging at all even when I customize my nexus with a different launcher .

A bit over 7000 Quadrant score on 4.2.2 here too, OC to 1.6 and still able to UV about 100 across the board and no different in stability, maybe i'm lucky one who got variant 3 of Tegra 3 here.
What I got from OC my device? It's run much more smother than when i'm at 1.3 like in facebook app for example at 1.3 I'm not able to scroll through feed really smooth but at 1.6 it's really smooth.
Concern about negative hit to battery life? I'm notice a little hit here as i'm get about 7 hours screen-time at 1.3 and about 6.5 hours at 1.6 and to me that acceptable, maybe due to UV that make it not much different.
Heat? A little lower if not the same temperature as when it's running at 1.3 again due to under voltage I think.
But however this is just my personal experience.

If you can build from source, just add in the frequencies to the tegra3_dvfs.c and other related files. But due to several obvious reasons mentioned already in this thread, I would never do that ever.

As you can see in the screenshot, my D802 is getting some pretty bad benchmark scores(20k). When I'm lucky I can get up around the 30k mark, then when I'm not so lucky, I fall down to performance lower than the GS4. I know, I know, benchmark scores doors not really matter in real world usage. But when it comes to crunching numbers, I expect the processor to perform its best!
Just some info about my setup:
-D802
-CyanogenMod 10.2 Nov 14 nightly.
-The "Custom G2" kernel by Wootever
-My device is overclocked to 2.5Ghz (saw a little performance increase, BTW this OC was done within the "performance" menu in cm10.2)
-Anything else important?
And just if anyone was wondering, all my scores are better with CM than on the stock LG firmware.
Any magic I can do to bump my bench scores? I have heard some people talking about a hidden dial menu, but I can't seem to access it..
Any help, or just feedback is appreciated!

When I first saw the Chart I thought to myself "CyanogenMod" then I read your post aaaand "CyanogenMod". Most people have been complaining about low bench scores on CM nightlies, some are better than others but Ive read post about people getting in the 17k with CM. Flash the stock Rom then post your scores and see how much that helps the cause.
Edit: Quick note, I dont think I have ever gotten over 23k with CM on this device so I have experienced this as well, not just reading up on it.

All the AOSP roms that dont have major bugs are all performing very well. They just dont score well, its not at all indicative of the hardware, its the Rom. But if your having very low scores on a stock Rom then you might need to get it replaced. Do you have shots of the stock scores? Also make sure that your not using your phone for about 5 min before benching at all or else you might thermal throttle.
Edit: Make sure your governer is set to ondemand or performance and make sure your at 2.2ghz. Some CM roms stay stuck at 1.7ghz and im not sure if this bug has been fixed yet either.

I have just always preferred the more professional look of CyanogenMods website and other services, and I guess that is what made me think it would be one of the best out there. I will keep an eye on AOKP from now on.

Many manufacturers are known for favoring benchmark apps in their ROMs to achieve better scores. I don't know if this is the case with the G2 but, if it is, then switching to a ROM that doesn't have that (such as CM) would make it appear less powerful on the benchmarks.

G3 Antutu Benchmark

Whats your G3 Antutu Benchmark?
Mine is 26481 taken with airplane mode.
That's too low, isn't it?
It's really irrelevent. Open up a game and play it and how does it play?
Do you have any lag transitioning between apps?
Highest I got after a few tries is 30000.
Whats yours?

I was going to start a new thread about it. I don't really care about benchmarks but always check them for point of reference between my various tests.
See my screenshot of latest Antutu scores.

Also attached GSM Arena scores as point of reference.
I've not boosted, photoshopped these scores, hell no development yet, but small tweaks here and there.

I now cannot get through the test without the phone saying "too hot shutting down"
Not rooted!!

i got 35813 on my last try
Rooted stock, no performance tweaks, just visual stuff with tweaksbox. Not outstanding, but I'm pretty pleased, in game i also didn't notice any lags yet (e.g. at asphalt 8), also haven't faced any throttling yet at longer periods of high demand.
Here are some additional stats of 3dmark

I got 36030. Pretty alright.
Stock rom, rooted with some LG bloat removed, default thermal settings retained (aka nothing modified) on ART I get 26K (the test, I believe runs better on Dalvik so I am assuming that is why my score was lower than 30K)
I decided to run Antutu X and it just gave me a score of 32K (on ART, which is usually about 5K lower than Dalvik)
After a few more runs.
Why so much big difference between the phones? I see scores from 26000 to 37000!! Why? I can understand what gives so much power in some phones.

it's another example of why these benchmarks arent the end all be all.

different people running phones differently, ART, Dalvik, certain ram draining apps all has an impact.
Generally Dalvik will give higher scores than ART as will having more 'free ram' (whilst giving you a higher score will not necessarily imrprove actual performance).
Temperature and battery level of the device when you run the test will also have an impact on the score.
Also I hope everyone is using Antutu X rather than Antutu - this is designed to stop cheating.

Agreed. In my experience even changing a launcher can increase your score.

Why start a new thread? It's then so hard to compare results, say, G3 vers Nexus 5 vers Note 4. 'Tis easier to post where all results are

Well, you're not exactly right, try to run this one benchmark and post here or there screen of your highest score. It will be much-much lower than that of XZ2, or HTC M8. And some people do play themselves or give their phones to kids for they can play. And low fps in games like in example. I'm not even mention GTA SA which is he11 of bad code itself and lags on almost everything but that's different story

Why? 'Tis so easy to understand, it's called throttling and discussed in this nearby topic
