1.Upgrade MIUI to 1.8.12 (130811). No FC anymore! And the internal 2GB mass storage is accessible! This version is great! Unless DO NOT USE BUILD-IN BACKUP, or all your sd-card apps will be unaccessible! (stockwell is working on this)
2.Since I'm kinda like MIUI, and this job is really time consuming, I decided that I'll only update MIUI in the future.
3.Include all the historical data of MIUI in this release, so that you can see MIUI is really improving!
-----------8-7------------
1.Upgrade MIUI to 1.8.5 (070811). Sometimes I found FC quit frequently. Still testing...
2.Upgrade Oxygen to 110805. System benchmark improved!
3.Battery not tested due to time shortage. And I still don't know how to test hardware video acceleration. May anyone help?
-----------8-2------------
1.Upgrade MIUI to 1.7.29 (010811). This ROM fixed the FC problem due to wrong build.prop. The performance looks same.
2.Change the test method of battery. I turn on the phone, turn of WIFI/BT/GPS/APN, and wait for 8 hours (during the night). In the next morning, I record the battery level left. I haven't test HW stock ROM yet. So far, MIUI is better!
-----------7-31-----------
Upgrade MIUI to 1.7.29 (310711). This ROM is GREAT! It not only fixed the bugs (video recording, audio recording, etc), but also improved the performance dramatically! The benchmark of MIUI now is even higher than Oxygen! I think that's due to the latest Android 2.3.5.
But the only problem for MIUI now, is that there are toooooo many FC!
-----------7-30-----------
1.Update battery power consumption, according to Katu2006's opinion and test result. Thanks mate!
2.Upgrade Oxygen to version 110730. It fixed the 720p video recording, and the benchmark seems even better!

Hi guys!
I just transferred to HW U8800 from SE X1 (WM). Since I've made an X1-ROM benchmark and it was pretty useful for some friends there, I think probably I can do the same thing here as well. So, that's why I make my first post of this.
I'd like to thank the cooks that contributed so much for our U8800. Without your guys, my U8800 is just an ordinary phone.
I'm just using my U8800 for 2 weeks, and still learning Android system. So, if you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Finally, I'm not a cook or expert on this. Definitely I might make some mistakes, and that means NO offense to any cooks or personnals. I just want to contribute some efforts to someone might in need. I also want to use this for the decision of my U8800 ROM.
Cheers!

That's cool to keep a sheet with current roms performance level and stage of usability.
I would want you to continue working on updating as it's hard for some to keep track which rom is up to date and which rom is fastest
It's good to know that my work is useful. I'll try my best. But it's very time consuming, as you can imagine...
Anyway, thanks!
very good really. i saw that you didnt test the battery life, but you cant say nothing about this?

You are right. Battery life (or power consumption) is very important. But I have to find a proper way to do the test! You know, just let the phone wait for a whole day and night is not a effective way (and I myself have to use the phone!). Is there any suggestions?
something like normal use, if you have another phone to use, you can think about a test like 30 sms to your self or another number, 3 or 4 benchs let the music player work during 2 hours and one or 2 youtube movies and the rest left it alone to see how is his behavious on idle
I've been playing gameloft's Dungeon Hunter for a few days now and noticed that it practically sucks the juice out of the phone. So maybe use that game, or one similar? You could monitor battery consumption AND performance. And, it's also entertaining!

Aaaaaaaaand...
And you could run the game while keeping wifi and bluetooth on with max brightness ^^
Ok, I've been testing ALL versions of Roms available at this point and I can tell you that playing a game is not a relevant test, as everybody is interested in power draining during normal daily usage, with Wifi and BT all all the time, 1-2 calls/day, 2 email accounts with push and some browsing (weather/news etc).
What you should do is install each Rom and use it with all options mentioned always on and measure the time it takes to fully discharge.
I've done multiple tests, on B160/B137/Miui/Oxygen etc With all options mentioned above, I NEVER got more than 24h with stock Roms, to be frankly honest, NO FROYO based rom stock/custom has ever gone over the 24h mark for me.
Both Miui and Oxygen have absolutely amazing power drain, over night I lost like 7% of the battery and with everything mention always on, I get at least 40h.
You should correct the statement with the power drain, as Miui and Oxygen have MUCH better power drain if not twice as better compared to stock Roms.
Another thing you got wrong is the hardware acceleration, which is available in Oxygen.
At this point in time, there is nothing better than Oxygen and thank God that is available, cause the Froyo Roms are terrible, especially in terms of power consumption.
I think you are not able to refresh it that fast,because Oxygen is updating every day recently

THANKS MATE!
It's good to know that someone is also testing the ROMs, and can share some of the experiences. I think the hardest thing for me is the battery test. I've revised the result, according to your opinion.
And about hardware video acceleration, when I use Mobo player, it seems always very laggy, no matter which ROM I use. So, how to prove that the hardware acceleration is on?

I do believe that cooking a ROM is much complex and time consuming than testing one.
Your work is excellent! Thanks !
Escellent overview China_1. Thank you!!
great work m8
ps: I have a doubt, did you put the cpu freq at 800mhz? because both (miui and oxygen) has the cpu at 1ghz per default.

It's hard to tell when GPU is used and when it's not, but in my view, actionscripts (which are used when GPU is not required/unavailable) are sometimes as fast as GPU in rendering simple things.
I may be wrong here, but this is just my understanding...
The best way to tell if GPU is active is by measuring the frames/sec...on action scripts you usually get lower FPS...That's why in testing Quadrant, you get much more points in 3D rendering tests, when having hardware acceleration active.
If you search on the market for "OpenGL Test" or "OpenGL Frame Rate Test", these should test the GPU specifically.
There is an example here:

Nope. I just used the default CPU setting. So, this might be a reason why Oxygen has such a high CPU score.

I know basically what GPU and hardware acceleration means. And, to turn on hardware acceleration, you need the support of: 1. hardware; 2. O/S and driver; 3. software application. So, to prove that a certain ROM is h/w acceleration supported and measure the performance, we need to find a compatible software.
And, there are usually two kinds of h/w acceleration: 3D animation, and HD video.
U8800's GPU is Adreno 205, shoud be very good at 3D. But the performance is not that good. I think we need more optimization of the O/S and drivers.
I'm currently using the "Jellybean Port from Desire S," and wanted to possibly venture out and try other roms. I'm mainly looking for the fastest/smoothest rom, which marshmallow says it is. I don't really care about all the bells and whistles, just speed and overall saving of battery life is what i'm mainly looking for. So I just wanted to know what you guys think.
By the way 0.0 I like the audio plugin over-heating "feature" for the jellybean port. I'm in a colder climate so it keeps my left hand nice and toasty

Fast enough for me. Turn off the animations and overclock it a little.
I've been on this ROM for like the past 2 months now, and I'm going to stay on it til my upgrade this month.
I should specify when i say "fastest" i mean lowest resource footprint, and thus faster application load/run times. At least that's what I'm assuming causes faster run times, unless there are other factors i'm unaware about.

I installed the new official rom v50020a and are disappointed with performance especially in games. That performance was superior v18a. This rom seemed to me the most powerful than all roms, since the battery is emptied very quickly, especially in stand by. In AnTuTu benchmark 18a give almost 27,000 and v20a less than 24,000. In Real Racing 3 feel the difference. V50020a is final rom for OTA? Performance and battery worse than the first official rom. I think I'll go back to 4.2.2.

If the v18a was superior, why not go back to it instead?
The problem is that the rom v18 of battery empties very quickly in standby. I have to install a custom rom based on v18 with another kernel.

What do you call 'very quickly'? I found it emptied slower than with 4.2.2 in standby with WiFi on.
I set the wi-fi to be turned off when the tablet is in stand by. It is among the settings after installing a new rom.

Did you notice any difference on the screen brightness, gamma values and 7 spots on the bottom?
Jessooca said:
The battery life is actually better,by nearly 2 hours. I have tested and ran it for 5 days, it's all about your settings. If you have the screen on 50% one day or 65% another day it's always going to fluctuate.
Theres no complaints about the battery life with 18 here, easily I get 2 hours more. Some days 4.

The fix for Watching Amazon Prime is in a thread by, i believe it was Surviveland....
Make sure that you have UNinstalled the flash player installed in your device if you have one installed first and then install the hacked one for compatibility reason.
1) Download Dolphin Browser from the Play Store
[/B]You MUST have Dolphin Jetpack on in the settings to enjoy it.
As far as I have noticed, Dolphin Jetpack better solves the compatibility with flash player, such as crash issue & freeze issue in full screen.
2) Download the hacked flash player HERE: http://goo.gl/MuU9SU
If your device refused to install apk outside Google Play, you need to change your settings in your device (Settings> Securities> Unknown resources) to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu>Settings>Web Content>Flash Player) is on.

First of all, I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for the interest in ShinTo Kernel and your time in testing it.
I am sincerely blown away by the spike in interest... Just wow!
In the space of two months I have moved twice across Europe and am currently getting settled in my new home (and waiting for the darn broadband).
I can assure you two things; ShinTo Kernel & PreCog.me are not a hobby.
They are my daily work focus (as in my daily job).
I could extend myself talking about the great projects I have but I am the kind of person that prefers to prove with facts so... Keep an eye on PreCog.me
Ps: i don't want to monopolize the thread so... If you have any specific questions or I can help out in any way, then please do ask
Ps2: I am eternally grateful to xda, civato and all the great ppl here...

Benchmarks are different from device to device. They're not a true statement about a kernels performance. I get insane battery, I get lightning fast speeds and I love using the kernel. This is a discussion of the kernel in this thread, that's why I started it. This is not an official Dev thread, that will come later from the Dev. Of you're interested in it, head over to precog.me and read the official kernel page. :thumbup:

Actually it can serve as basis. For example if that user is able to achieve 10hrs SOT, then at least I know that the kernel is capable of going that far. No matter how you force a kernel, if it has bad battery life then it can never achieve high SOTs. It actually us very helpful for one to post battery stats because I can then adjust and try to get close or even surpass the user's settings.
With all due respect, I think you are wrong in saying it won't give me the slightest clue of what the battery life of mine will be. It actually can tell a lot(if I'm doing things wrong or right). That's how users learn how to improve their devices by getting tips from others. And for that reason I'm refraining from flashing it because I have a very good set-up. I know I can go back just with flashing the stock kernel, but we all know that sometimes it doesn't really work 100%. "Something" gets broken somehow at a random chance.

Fair enough, but I still disagree.
For example - on my last cycle I got nearly 8 hours SOT and about 1 day 13 hours on one charge. What can one infer from that? I say another user can infer very little, there are way too many variables.
I use Alliance ROM. This was my first cycle with this kernel. I use only 100% black wallpapers, system, desktop, and lockscreen are all black. One homescreen. Brightness about 40% except for videos. Tasker is set so that screen off=WiFi and data off, and I use a flip cover. I've deleted over 100 apps. I've removed about 25 autostarts with SD Maid, usually only use about 750 mb at startup. I never sync anything whatsoever. Two widgets, clock/weather and music. Location is always off unless I'm navigating.
I could go on, there's more, but I hope you see my point. And that's before the vast amount of kernel tweaks I've set up with Faux Clock, which I'll probably tweak further. And I haven't even mentioned my usage....
With further cycles I'll probably squeeze more juice out of it, who knows?
If you think this will give you any idea about your battery life, fine. But I can't see how it can.
As for benchmarks - a waste of time if you're comparing with another device, only remotely useful if you're comparing performance with different setups on the same phone, IMHO.
i've just bought the oneplus 5 a week ago and i am very impressed with the phone so far but i want some help regarding battery life i'm getting mostly 6-7 hrs of SOT on OOS which is very impressive but i've seen some people here getting like 10 hrs of SOT i'm not a heavy user i mostly use the phone for youtube and music streaming services such as spotify and i also use facebook,snaptchat and whatsapp also my phone is always connected to wifi and i don't do any heavy gaming on the phone so can anybody recommend a good battery friendly rom and kernel which would push my SOT up a notch i've seen in some posts that the lightning kernel with the spectrum app helps alot but i really don't know
i've tried to attach some screenshots of accubattery to show my usage and battery health but it's not allowing me to post links or images it's the first time i make a thread and also i never go past 50% brightness if anybody could provide any suggestions for me i'd truly appreciate it thank you
For me at least, it's hard to say. I know this might not be the answer you're looking for, but the best thing in my opinion, would be to just flash a few ROMs and see which provides the optimal features+battery life for you.
My usage is going to be different from you, so if I say "X" ROM gives me 10 hours of SOT, that may not hold true for you.
Even though you provided some info on what your usage is like, I'd still recommend just flashing and testing out yourself! I feel you'd get the best idea by experiencing ROMs out there first-hand, rather than others recommending what they use/is best for them!

For what it's worth, I'm currently on the Unofficial version of RR and it's been fantastic!

But no Bluetooth on that ROM..
The Rom itself is incredibly smooth.. Like really, really smooth.. ? But no Bluetooth is a deal breaker

If you are encrypted then Bluetooth media will work, just not Bluetooth calls. For me, Bluetooth calls is not a deal breaker, and I think the dev is working on a fix for an upcoming build; don't quote me on that though lol

Oooh I see.. .. I was trying to get it to work with multirom and no dice T__T
Thanks for the information
Franco kernel is geared towards battery life rather than phone performance. I've honestly never been a fan of his kernels but a lot of people swear by them.

thanks alot for your help
I got 10hrs + SOT with Simple GX kernel and xXx No limits Rom.
I've tried boeffla , lightening and simple GX kernel.
Simple GX has been the best till now.
//Press thanks if it helped.
