Benchmark Tests on Legend 2.1 vs 2.2

Hi All,
Updated my missus's Legend to 2.2 today and ran a Quadrant Benchmark test on it..
best of 3 was 903 (avg is about 860)..
What are you getting on 2.1... and what sort of scores are you getting on the custom ROM's out there?
Post your scores stating which ROM you're running..

Clean Eclair, 2.1 = 4XX-5XX
Azure, 2.2 = 8XX-9XX
Cyanogenmod RC2, 2.2.1 = 8XX-9XX
Never benchmark a Sense ROM before so I cannot provide such information.

Best of 3 was 365 on unbranded 2.1 update 1

Constantly above 1xxx with CM RC1/RC2 and OC787 kernel...but that's normal since it's overclocked

My result was 387 on 2.1 update 1 official Rom

Using a normal 2.1 legend, benchmarked three times... 377, 332 and 361. Even more anxious to get froyo now then!

Fixed....
Sense 2.1 was 3XX (4XX with OC)
However, even going from 3XX to 8XX (CM6.1) I did not see any speed improvements in games. OC DID improve the speed

You cannot get 11XX without OC'ing.

I'm sorry Sir, but are you ****ing-kidding-me? With almost stock 2.1 i had ~380. With azure 1.0.x now i have ~460.

I have not programmed anything in android yet, but I know programming java for some years and I think that I can tell you why those spectacular benchmarks doesn't apply in most games.
The improvements have been made in the dalvik virtual machine, which is responsible for executing the java code of the applications.
But if programmes want more performance, they can write part of the program directly in native code, developed in C or C++. This code cannot be optimized (more), thus applicacions using JNI massively don't see any improvement.
I suppose many games should be using JNI because of the advantages in performance, so they're already 'optimized'.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong

I'm sorry Sir, but are you a ****ing kid? Let me try to be as nice as possible here. Do your homework before you bash other people. Go to the respected ROM's thread, or the OC thread and look around for other peoples results. That is the average result. 4XX on Azure? Seriously? Throw your phone to the wall and maybe that'll boost the Quadrant scores.

I'm with you my friend. Some people are just ignorant.

Raja, the avarage Azure scores are 4XX because JIT is actually disabled in that rom, even though the option present and checked.

Actually it is enabled. I asked Ali about it before. But then again that was few months ago, I might be wrong.

Sorry my bad.
Seems like JIT was disabled only until Azure 0.6.
However I can confirm that my Azure 1.0.1 quadrant score was 4XX (which is kind of low...), and as I now have 1095 with CM6.1 I don't think theres a problem with my legend's performance.

Sorry for the newbie question, but.. how do I run a Quadrant Benchmark ?
I know these numbers refer to the performance, and that the 2.2 scores a lot better, but in actual everyday usage - battery life, speed etc. what does this practically mean?

No worries mate. Seriously? The last time I used Azure I got around 8XX. That was version 1.0 I think.

Install Quadrant and run it. Well, technically it is just numbers. But most of the benchmarkers do admit feeling the difference between lower and higher scores. Some say those are placebo effect, but meh. I don't buy that ****.

CM10.1 HUGE drop in Antutu Score

Stock 4.2.1 with franco's kernel: 1723
Stock 4.2.1 without franco's kernel: 1841
Now here comes the weird part...
CM10.1 4.2.1 with franco's kernel: 1243
What gives? What's with the sudden drop in the score? Is anybody else getting similar results? Is it because CM10.1 shuts off two of the cores? This comes as a surprise to me because I've been running CM10.1 for the past hour and it's noticeably smoother than the stock rom.

I could care less about the benchmark itself. What worries me is whether or not CM10.1 shuts down two of my Nexus' four cores.

Probably franco's kernel does that. Which one are you on?

r72.
Also, because I paid top dollar to make the switch from my Galaxy S. If I really wanted functionality and nothing more, I would've just stuck with my Galaxy S.
Would you mind running an Antutu benchmark and telling me what you get? It could be an error on my side. thx

Hm, can't do that, sorry. Last time I run a benchmark was more than a year ago, I hate them passionately. Particularly with the crappy job LG has done in the building of this phone, antutu is like the devil..
Isn't that r72 supposed to turn the cores off though? Try a different one?

Nope, r72 introduced hot-plugging. Anyway, that definitely had nothing to do with the score seeing as to how I was running the same kernel on stock when I ran the test.

You got serious problems if you can't break 2000 on antutu. Because i can tell you at least one app that runs awfully slow for you, and thats antutu.

only those devices running bionic patched roms are going over 20000 in antutu, devices running the normal roms score a little less.

[ANTUTU] 4.1.2 Vs 4.3 Vs 4.4 (DALVIK & ART)

I wanna share with you some benchmarks I did... with Antutu.
The winner is.... Samsung 4.3 ROM ! :angel:
Warning: the ART score with the 4.4 is not accurate; I had several gapps & gallery crashes while testing the GPU score... but look at the CPU and Dalvik score...
Comparison here:

It seems like GPU works better with the 4.3 samsung rom... but I don't think the score is cheated.... I noticed that Chrome, Facebook and everything involving pinch to zoom, pan, etc operations on some content, it's way smoother with the 4.3 sammy rom.
:victory:

I had different experience myself.
I have n7105 and was on sammy 4.1.2 that came with the phone.
No lags, the zoom in and out was lag free. very smooth.
Updated to CM 10.2 JB 4.3.1 and it gave severe lag problem on browser zoom in and scrolling.
Now on unofficial CM 11 Kitkat 4.4. Now its a lot better than the 4.3.1.

ART is kinda in an Alpha stage but... that said i't's performing wonderfully for me (except not compatibile apps). I think that actually antutu isn't accurate at benchmarking with ART but i've seen an enourmus improvement:good::good:

Sure... I don't trust antutu, I posted the comparison because lot of people ask about benchmarks on it!
I think it's a good news that they are working on making Android more efficient, so let's wait :victory:

What is the 'normal' Antutu benchmark value for stock 4.1.2?
Mine is only 16,412 really far from 20,000+ as shown in the OP's 4.1.2 ROM benchmark.
I am wondering if my low benchmark is because of the eMMC that just got replaced. The thing is that eMMC brickbug check says the chip date is 06/1997 which sounds really old...

Not sure what value this has at all... Oh wait I am, extremely little to none. Sorry OP but you need a far robuster test to give any insight and draw any conclusions. Not having a go, just saying what I see.
Benchmarks are better for comparing phones, hardware differences and of cause kernel tweaks / over clocking / under-voting. Not particularly useful for comparing ROM with ROMs. Try battery rundown tests, signal quality, camera quality, and other common daily use activities if you want to compare ROMs with one another.

Maybe you didn't read the thread title.
I zoom it for you:

4.1.2 Vs 4.3 Vs 4.4 (DALVIK & ART)
NOW, do you understand? It's just an ANTUTU SCORES THREAD.
Just read over the forum board, in about every kitkat thread people ask for benchmarks on ART.
Well, I did some on antutu (it's not just a try, it's a medium value) and I shared with others.
Benchmarks are not unuseful. They are an information like others to understand how is evolving a platform.

With the latest Antutu they changed the algoritms and now Note 2 scores much higher than before.
With the previous versions I scored about 17000. Try the latest release (with cold phone, to prevent thermal throttling).
Neak kernel make some difference, but not too much... just about 500 points or less, over the stock kernel.

I have 21800 with super stock rom lol. Odex without root or anything else....4.1.2

Very low benchmark scores.

Hello,
The title says all.
I am getting very low benchmark scores.
In geekbench3: 1200 in single core and 2300 in multi core..
AnTuTu: 44506
What i have done to the moto x style:
unlocked bootloader
Installed supersu and xposed.
Factory reset already done.
Performance seems not that bad actually.
But the scores tells me otherwise.

If your performance feels good in real world use, why do you need some benchmark to tell you otherwise?

I am on aicp and put xclark kernel to perfromance and got 48k, before i had it on interactive and hotplug on eco performance. No difference felt how device performed.

You are absolutely right. I was checking some governor settings. And seemed the governor on the little cores, was not at all optimized. Underclocked now because the speed is decent again

I have been using it as my daily,
Only one issue that has caused some concerns is that, if you lose the phone signal and you are on gsm,
it switches to cdma and then acts like you don't have a sim card...It can take reboots and hours for it to
return to gsm. However this hasn't happened to me for 5 days now with the newer builds.
My phone hardly ever heats up much with cm12.1...and I DON"T use any processor tweaks.

that video goes to exactly show you why benchmarks don't mean anything
I hate apple, but Apple definitely got it right by saying it is not always all about "hardware specs" and it's more of a coexisting relationship between the hardware and software that is more important.
Samsung definitely has the superior hardware, but their ****ty TouchWiz screws it all up

Hey, so sorry for such a late response. I have noticed after flashing EviraKernel 1.08 that my custom kernel configuration has much less of a noticeable difference. It is to the point where I have not applied any of my own settings on top of 1.08, just not enough to gain in my opinion to go through the effort of changing the various kernel values with a root browser. If you are still interested I can write up a .txt doc for you with the parameter location and value I set. For reference I'm attaching a screenshot of a benchmark I ran with no custom settings that you can see is not much slower than the benchmarks I've uploaded in my posts above.
