Method of comparing Nexus 4 and Note II's processors

Hey guys, I just need some help checking if this method is sound. I came up with it in the car just about an hour ago. The basic jist is just a uniform standardised way of comparing processors. Let me know what you think. Link Below

It'll make more sense if you read the explanation first.

Well, it still does not solve the problem of weighing both between the tests and possible within each test run.
So the question still would be "11% better for what?".

Interesting..

Sorry, I’m not sure if I follow the first half of the question but in response to the second half.
It doesn't really work that. Each processor would naturally have their pros and cons so one processer would be “better” at some things than the other, but this is a final overall average-comparative method.
The method strictly compares 2 phones while reducing the sensitivity of processor bias within tests on a standardised scale. Maybe it would be best to Imagine if each percent was a unit on this comparative scale.
It that would finally state something like: “The Nexus 4 scores 11.9 Units against the galaxy note II”
Which is not major where as something line “The galaxy note II scores 55 Units against the galaxy note 1” is massive and you’d know that the note II is a lot better than the original.
I hope this all makes sense. Haha it’s just an idea let me know if you still think it’s rubbish

All it means that out of 100 things, the Nexus can handle 11 things better than the Note 2. The other 89 things performed par to par on both phones

I miss ROMs

Started all the way back with the Samsung Omnia with Windows 6.5, got me into development, ended up following community and cracking open everything from standalone GPS (those were the days) to the pioneer head unit in my car. Omnia 2, HTC droid eris, Moto X, Galaxy S 2, Note 2, HTC One Max, Note 4.
One Max was such a disappointment and I thought, no brainer, Note 4 is my savior. Stock is so unimaginably horrible. Battery life is atrocious, lag is everywhere, random crashes, overheating, what a disappointment.

You do realize they have a Developer Edition Note 4 right? Don't buy a locked phone, then complain about it being locked.

I started putting money in a "Dev Note 5" fund back when I pulled my pledge.
Until then I'll mess around with the trusty old Note 2 I've got in a drawer at home.
It was always a long shot with this N4, I'm sad to see the community hasn't been successful.

They created an acct just to ***** lol. No research and mad. There was never a hey this phone will be rooted and or unlocked boot loader. Learn how to root phones or stfu.

No. You shouldn't reply because your words are the garbage of words.

No. you are incorrect. You'll be better served to not speak anymore. You're ignorant and it's embarrassing to you.

New supported devices like Galaxy Note 4 910C Exynos?

Hello and thanks for developing such a good ROM for Android!
I'm looking for info specific for Note 4 910C, Exynos. There's any prediction of when it would be available?

Exynos devices? Unlikely. Developers hate them.

That's really bad news... So good results with a Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
Not a bad hardware, but without the great work from OmniROM team I'm feeling abandoned.
I'll never lose my hope that one day it will be supported, among others. In the meantime, would you guys, a lot more experienced than me, recommend me another ROM for this specific model?

I don't think anyone has supported any of the Exynos5 variants well. Yeah, sort-of "supported", but not WELL.
The hatred opensource developers have had towards Samsung has been no secret since late 2012, Samsung devices, especially Exynos 4 and later (Exynos3 was great due to being used in a Nexus. The Exynos 5250 in the Nexus 10 was vastly different from all of the other 5 variants), are the last ones you want to buy if you want consistent and reliable community support.
Samsung has made a point for years of NEVER using the same SoC in their flagships as they do in Nexus devices. (Nexus S was the only exception to this, and that was their first Nexus.)

A Peak at Android 6.0 for the Note 4

They are giving us the new Touchwiz icons that look like they are the result of Touchwiz being raped and getting a back alley abortion. Nooooooooooo. I hope they at least include themes so that we can hide that mess. Then again, by the time this is actually released by Verizon, I assume a lot of us will have already moved on to non Samsung phones.

I think the biggest UI upgrade I can recall occuring on a Samsung device was maybe when the OG Note got Jellybean and looked fairly similar to the Note II and picked up some new features. Otherwise, Samsung has traditionally let as little as possible trickle down from their latest flagships to "last year's" model when doing updates---look at the Note 4 or the Note 3 Lollipop situation , for example. Neither phone was as smooth or as refined under Lollipop as it was under KitKat (I do not recall if the Note 3 was better under JB or KK). I certainly do not expect things like theme support or manual camera modes to ever trickle down to the Note 4. I'll just be glad to get its RF and battery performance back to where it was with KitKat.

I highly, highly doubt we ever see this.

His demo phone seems to be very laggy as hell with MM 6.0. Hopefully by the time we getting this it should be better.

It looks like it has a few things I might like. But the icons, dear lord are they bad. Way to iPhoneish for my liking.
The settings menu looks decent to me though.

Exactly why I hope they throw in themes. I hope somebody asks on the youtube page. He's been answering questions. (I tried to ask, but youtube won't let me sign in since I deleted G+ and my YT channel.)

Going to buy the Exynos and not sure anymore

Hi guys today im going to buy the S10+ Exynos and after reading all the bad things about the battery and camera im not sure anymore.
Is the battery life on idle going to be fixed? Is the lower quality of camera in the Exynos version is going to be fixed too?
Between the OnePlus 7 pro and the S10+ Exynos which would you choose?

Oneplus has had the worst camera of any major smartphone brand for several years running which is why the XDA section for every OnePlus phone has very active threads about using various builds of the ported Google Pixel Camera--you can't take even decent pictures on a OnePlus phone without a ported camera app.
If photography is your concern considering a OnePlus phone is a joke.
Anyone who has owned a OnePlus phone over the last few years should also know that standby battery drain is a frequent problem on their phones--especially after any OTA update.
The only advantage the OnePlus phone will have is if you want to run a custom ROM because there will be more ROMs available for their phones--but since developers stopped using OnePlus phones after the 3T model the ROMs are computer compiled with virtually no testing and always have bugs (sometimes major ones) even when they are labeled as stable.
My vote isn't for the OnePlus phone in case that isn't obvious enough.

I have both a 7 pro and a S10+. I find myself reaching for the 7 pro a lot more. Oxygen OS is just lightweight and fast, you can expect bi monthly updates for atleast 2 years.
Oneplus has pushed several updates for the camera and I find the camera solid. You can get better results with installing gcam but a lot of S10 owners do the same.

I just took delivery of a 10+ Exynos and the camera is excellent in my opinion.

I'd highly recommend the S10+.
I moved from an iPhone 8 plus and don't regret it. Battery life is amazing and the camera is amazing as well. No issues here.
I recall seeing a setting somewhere on my S10+ for a battery save option that learns your usage patterns and helps get the best battery life. Battery optimiser I think it was. Not sure how good it is though. Never needed it.
Can't argue with the points about the OnePlus 7 Pro either. Tested one in store and the experience was buttery smooth. The 90hz display makes a ton of difference.
In the end, I felt OxygenOS on the OnePlus was too simplistic for me after using the S10+ first. Just my personal opinion though. If I hadn't tried the S10 first I probably would have went OnePlus
