Hello all,
I recently flashed Ktoonz kernels and used the Ktweaker to set it to Performance. When I ran a Quadrant test after rebooting I was more than surprised. The numbers were much lower than a stock kernel. Any one know if I possibly did something wrong? This is the Quadrant score I have and also a shot of the Ktweaker. Thanks.

Do not ever go by quadrant, if the phone feels smoother and faster then it is smoother and faster.

Okay. So what exactly is it that Quadrant is used for then? I always thought it was used to test the speed of the device?

Its a bragging rights thing really, any developer will tell you its completely pointless. Real life usage is what matters. For instance when forcerom came out it had problems with getting 6000 quadrants but was running smooth.

Okay, thanks a lot! Yeah it definitely does feel faster and smoother. Just hoping that with the performance kernel I still get some good battery life.

Yeah if the phone is.fast for you. You shouldn't be concerned about scores.

I ran a full benchmark with quadrant and it came in at 512 which from what I can tell I'd pretty slow.
I killed most of my apps before running I do have a live bg and a good amount widgets. I also went crazy installing apps so I am sure all of this contributed.
Is that normal and how can I figure out what is killing my speed?

What rom....what kernel?

Stock 2.1
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Then thats why. Unless you use a 2.2 rom, you will not experience quadrant scores in the1000+.
I reccomend switching to 2.2. Its fast. You will get rather good quadrant and linpack.

Isnt that still pretty slow for 2.1? Is there a program to tell me which of my programs is hogging my CPUs?

No its normal.
Quadrant should be in the low 500's
Linpack should be 4-6

I am using the leak right now, and most bugs are fixed with the rmk patch
Also, theres always skyraider 1.9b and cm6...which only have one bug-the camcorder doesnt work.
And if you are rooted and plan to stay with 2.1 use hydra kernels (which dont work with 2.2)

Stock rom, stock kernel.
Installed from market latest .apk, including Ram manager and SD booster.
Testing in antutu 2.7.2. - looking for the 2d results / evolution , average result for 2d: about 500. (anywhere between 450 - 610).
Suddenly, this happened. While receiving a phone call over antutu testing.
Anyone, similar experience to confirm this?

Well to tell you,its not a bug on the rom..its a bug on the benchmark...and i think its understandable because two roms share the same situation..have you ever bothered to think of it for a while?

i think that it was fail!!! on stock/kernel
DOn't believe to benchmarks. I have antutu 1686 score with stock and played skies of glory with any lag, but with cyanogen mod 2,1,9 and naa11 kernel this game isn't working (only force close ), although i had 2150 in antutu. It's only MY opinion. so...
so i was looking for roms in goo and i found a liquid smoth buid from the 4/03/2013!
i verified by loooking into the build prop, its based of 4.2.2
And someone flashed ? Is it really liquid. smooth?

Ok, so have been playing around with the ROM.
First off, the ROM is so smooth its scary. Its like, another level smooth that I (personally) think trumps CM10.1, AOKP, stock and everything inbetween.
I played beach blitz...
...for 5 minutes until it froze and the device locked up.
Thats unfortunately where I stopped. I had a look and the amount of customization features are amazing.
Really nice ROM but alas, I cannot personally use a ROM with the current mali drivers, purely because it depresses me

Whats the diferent from liquid to others roms???
Now before I catch heat for asking which ROM is best I don't want any developer on here to think I'm against their work.
Now, I'm trying to find the quickest ROM on here for gaming. I'm using the ktmana kernel and I know that speed comes from that but I've read that using the PA ROM actually hurts gaming performance. So I'm trying to figure out which ROM and kernal settings are best for gaming like nfs

I've found CM10.2 and Flaming Monkey to get great framerates in NFS, RR3, and Asphalt 8 with KTManta, 1300MHz CPU, and overclocked GPU.
PAC, Rootbox, and PA all didn't do too well. I may try Vanir shortly.
I use rasbeanjelly or purity with trinity for performance. Highest fps for me personally

If you can try out "wakelock detector" it can tell you why your phone isn't going to sleep. Perhaps you gave a rogue app?
Edit: betterbatterystats might be able to help too. It's fee for xda members I believe.
Also, you mentioned that your phone is new? Give it a couple more charge/discharge cycles to even out.

when i went to a custom kernel, battery life improved greatly with stock speeds, and undervolting all steps.

Not terribly familiar with safestrap and the s4. (Had a tmobile s4 which doesn't require it). I'm extremely familiar with android however. What's the process to install safestrap? My phone is already rooted. Also what's the kernel with the best battery life.

Not sure about safestrap since I have an I337M.
The best answer I can give you about a kernel is to try them all. The best kernel is almost always subjective.
