setcpu testing - G1 Android Development

I must of spent hr and hrs trying roms to find the easiest and fastest roms out there. But when you find one that flows nicely and without fc's. How to test which one is faster. I downloaded setcpu and tried to understand it. Now after flashing a rom, I set the phone the exact way for each rom. Exept hero roms( slow) and flashy. I dont need that , my option. I did some tests using setcpu. 10 tests at 528. 384 works great for battery saving(sleep,charging) w/10mb hack.
cyanogen 4.2.14.1 fast avg .... 6.60ms
fasttest 2.3 faster avg .... 6.50ms
fasttest 2.6 fastest avg .... 6.25ms
i'm using task killer,lock,weater wiget,battery widget,setcpu,htmtouch input all ignored. task killer avg 30m
mytouch 3g
I thing this a simple way to test these new rons on who is the fastest. My option.

There are many changes you can do to get a lower or higher MS, hero roms usually have a lower MS than a donut ROM. So this isn't full proof.

Dwang 1.17.1: best 571 ms; worst 591 ms
There's no competition, this is the ROM you want if speed and stability is your thing. It's so good Dwang hasn't updated it for a while (there's nothing to improve IMHO).
P.S. this test is not 100% relevant, user experience is the ultimate test but that's hard to compare.

Its personal opinion. I personally love Super D. I stick more with his and Openeclair ROM's so yeah.
..personal opinion.

Open Eclair 1.2.2 is the fastest eclair ROM i've ever run... ever. It's as fast as CM! but it's not out to the general public yet, lol. but yeah just a heads up, grab it as soon as it's out!

Yeah OpenEclair is the best!!! for an Eclair rom

Speed comparision between cooked ROMs (29/11/07 Re-tested with Spb Benchmark!)

1st TEST:
This is the result about the speed between 4 ROMs: Helmi_C (Clean+Bigstorage), Sleuth V1.1, XDA-Live 1.1 and Dutty SupaLite Beta. All have been installed the same programs.
The benchmark has been done by SKTools with 3 Kaiser devices! I took the average benchmark.
For your information!
2nd TEST:
As promised, I have just tested 4 ROMs with Spb Benchmark. The result is very clear and detail (pic 2, 3, 4, 5). All ROMs have not been installed with any soft except Spb Benchmark and SOTI Pocket Controller.
3th TEST:
Pic 6 is the result of CUSTEL v1.0!
wow, thanks for the work! That's good stuff to know.
I'd have thought that Dutty's was the fastest, but doesnt look to be so. With those numbers I'd say you'll never "see" a difference though.
Nice job man. There a a ton of people always asking that question. This should be a sticky.
Later, Lew
Could you elaborate a bit on the meaning of the numbers
SPB Benchmark would give you a more in depth comparison.

The numbers are within the statistic difference and I don't believe it is perceivable in real life operation. In other words, they are all about the same. But each ROM comes with different features. I hope the stability of each ROM are about the same. Stability is the most important factor. I have had machine hung on me during the most critical moment.

Agreed that those numbers could not show the real performance of each ROM. But I do not think that the stability is the same in those ROMs.
As per CUSTEL' suggestion, I am testing those ROMs with Spb Benchmark. The result seems to be different that the one from SKTools! We all can see the result tonight!
i'd have to say, when i was using kyphur's XDA LIVE, it was the snappiest among all, only it was designed for non video call device enabled

It was very difficult to say. I strolled around a phone store and saw a TyTN II and started playing with it. Wow, it was very fast and I was impressed. It was flashed with a CHS ROM. I offer to pay them to sell me a copy of the ROM. However, the machine hang a couple of times during my playing with it. Well that is without tons of other stuff installed and I really didn't think its stability is there yet. So much for my excitement, but it does show the machine can be fast if someone know what to tweak.
Thanks for this thread I realise I messed up somewhere in my performance tweaks.
Can someone do another tests on my Touchflo final Rom 2 which is uploading now and also my SupaLite beta 2 which I'm uploading a fixed version soon. I found out my Rom should be faster thank you guys for putting this tests out, enabling me to found out that I did something wrong in my performance tweaks and now the toucFlo Final rom which is uploading is much faster now even with more Program memory
i have try all roms for kaizer and i agree that helmi_c's roms are still the faster and better roms till now
i use the helmi_c clean rom and is far away the best!!
another very good rom is sleuth's 1.1!this rom is too very fast and stable and with all htc official stuff in
both,helmi_c and sleuth,are a step infront all the others at this moment

I think SPEED is second to Stability.... I think a fair test should also have ROM stability measures. i.e. crashes, connectivity, call drops, program load, display and presentation, programs, battery Life, and reception.

i agree with you my friend.the most wanted in cooking is both,stability and speed!! but those 2 are oposite to battery life
The best rom that worked for me is Rom Version 1.57.502.2 ,Pr version 22.45.88.07H i got it from one of these form, its very stable, very fast and it was cooked. so try finding this one and get it for tilt, its just remove all the junk leave you with lots of free space and you upload the sotware you want, bye. oh radio version 1.27.12.11
The 'famous' ROMs (Helmi_C Bigstorage, Dutty SupaLite Beta 1, Sleuth 1.1, XDA-Live 1.1) have been re-tested with Spb Benchmark.

Features
- Fully 100% SuperD 1.9.3
- Running the latest WG-Kernel v3-beta[10mb RHack / CFS]
e.g. This new kernel gave OpenEclair users a tremendous speed performance boost in the latest 1.2.2
- Removed DangerSPL Requirement
- CompCache is enabled by default at 16mb
- Adjusted Scheduler Values to help support the CFS Scheduler
- Adjusted LowMemKiller Values to help support apps that should be kept alive

I made this for fun since someone had made a version of SuperD based off my kernel from back well months ago lol - thought I should give a try at working on the ROM
This is a pretty one time thing. If people like the speed differences a lot, someone talk to Ben about working the kernel into SuperD
I will be monitering this thread for feedback

yup yup, sorry just added that
will keep you posted. i got the update during class so it's something i'll be playing with the next couple days. thanks brah.
Starting it up now.
Edit: Right off the bat i was able to go from flashed to homescreen in about 3 minutes.
Everything looks smooth so far, i'm in the process of installing some apps. Should be fun
Testing out now, thanks Wes!
Feedback - will add to this list
ADB is working (not currently working on RHack versions of 1.9.3)
CC works fine
BT works
BenchmarkPi is a LIL bit faster (between 12970 - 13650 for WG-Kernel) will test orig tomorrow
Overall: Seems speedy so far, gonna be hard to tell the difference as Ben's kernel is already pretty quick
EDIT: For those of you that are lazy like me, you CANNOT simply pull and flash the boot.img as it breaks CC. Just FYI

Just a question, but how have you been running this all day. It was just released like ~40min ago. If you mean SuperD 1.9.3 then your in the wrong forum, this is just for the WG-Kernel for SuperD193
Is wipe recommended coming from SD 1.9.3?
So this is the SuperD everyone is talking about with wes's kernel added and I DON'T need Danger SPL to flash it? Tell me I have this correct. I've been wanting to try this rom out but have tried to avoid the DSPL route. Any partition lay out requirements?
no its the same as superd but just with dif kernel we are looking for differances to compare to, as I use cyanogen kernel in mine and ya benchmark speed test etc on this ROM

this.. is... QUICK!
with the original 1.9.3 With ram hack, i had this weird dragging effect, and slow from the get go, but this version is QUICK!
bbuchacher you should DEFENATELY use this kernel, or find some way to make your kernel faster than this, great work ben and great work wes, you guys are geniouses
Im also noticing an increase in performance.
Without doing much tests, the system feels faster with this kernel at least when changing apps and switching between desktops. BTW, is there a way to do a more "objective" speed test?
Thoughts on the need to wipe coming from Super D 1.9.3 to this???
So I guess because of the ram hack, I wouldn't be able to play all the cool games.
Works like a charm. Much faster then the standard kernel.

NOOB question: overclocking, Mhz, JIT

hey guys,
looking to make the jump to 2.1 rom (most probably htcclay). but ive been looking at alot of different threads and i'm seeing a lot of comments regarding overclocking, setcpu, 528Mhz, 710Mhz, and JIT.
I'm trying to make sense of it all and want to know how to understand it properly. can anyone help? or point me in the right direction with a link explaining stuff?
im currently using a 32A magic with the old radio =)
Noob tries to help noob:
MHz refers to the frequency of the CPU. This reflects the speed at which operations are executed on an overall level. The original HTC Magic ROM was around 312 MHz if I remember correctly (which was in fact underclocked). Then the threshold was pushed to original frequency (around 512 MHz).
However, the frequenzy is not fix but rather adaptive in a range (speed stepping). If an application requires CPU time, the frequency goes up to those values indicated in the paragraph above. When the processor is idle however, frequency goes done to somewhere around 200MHz to save power (as higher MHz consumes more power).
Therefore 710 MHz reflects the upper limit of the range and is beyond the factory 512 MHz. Thus you gain roughly 30% peak performance.
JIT: Just In Time compilation. Another way to compile the Java code . This methode is introduced by replacing a library in the system and available in ROMs >= Android 1.6 . The performance gain is said around 30% but... I don't now whether this affects only apps or the overall system.
Hope this helps (probably not all numbers given are correct, but the concept should be).
Romwise I stick with Sanpei's Eris port. Not overclocked but smooth and good for everyday live
thanks for that dude! that makes a hell of a lot more sense to me =)
i popped the htcclay 2.1 rom from for 32A on last night and its working a charm. i set the frequency to max 528MHz, and min 245Mhz.
Is there any recommended settings to optimize the battery life so you can use it as an everyday rom? I grown quite fond of android 2.1, and the launcherpro beta is SO fast.
i know the whole idea of SetCPU is to customise whats right for you, but because I'm knew to all this I just need some direction as to what the best general settings are
Yes the non-sense 2.1 ROMs are speed wise amazing. I missed the HTC dialer though. I like to be able to type names on the keypad which is - to my knowledge - not possible on standard dialer. Also the HTC calendar app is a thing I havily rely on and the 2.1 Andorid Calendar is simply crap in comparison. That's why I stick with Sense ROMs.
However, speaking of overclocking. There is now clear rule. To factors affect your choice: your phone usage pattern, the individual quality of your hardware.
Hardware Quality: Processors and boards are guaranteed to operate flawless in a certain frequency range. Most processors can handle more that guaranteed (because there is a safety margin introduced by the factory) . However, how much more the processory can actually handle (before it starts to throw errors and faults) is rather individual.
Usage pattern meaning: if you're a havy gamer and you play ressource hungry games you will put the upper threshold as high as possible (however, you might also consider buying an XBOX which is more fun). Also if you feel that your phone response is sluggish. But, as long as you feel fine with the response of your phone, I would not go up with frequency (not for power reasons, rather stability of the OS). Go up if you feel that you need more processing power.
The lowest threshold is probably 128 MHz. I never tried that because I read of phones which would not wake up after having gone in standby. This is not dangerous (you only have to reboot) but personally I cannot afford to miss a call because of that. So I stick above 200.
Regards,
F
well in regards to my usage pattern, i dont play any games on my phone at all. for the reason being i dont want it to consume battery on the handset.
i dont even use it much for calls. i do a LOT of sms, facebook, youtube, emails, and some widgets which requires data usage. so what would u recommend for something like this? i want the rom to be zippy, not sluggish, but not drain the battery too fast?
and how do i know which operations/apps require CPU time?
no doubt about sense-ui is amazing! im even thinking of getting a htc desire soon, or just seeing what else is coming out soon. which model of phone are u using the sanpei eris port??
32A, New Radio. Use Radio Switcher from eyegor: Sticky Post. Works like charm but be careful and read the instructions (or you might end up buying a desire sooner than you intended to). I am usind a partitioned SD with EXT 3 System for apps2SD and a cache partition. SD can be formatted this way from Recovery.
I think Sanpei's Eris is the best 2.1 compromise for the time being. However, based on your comments on how you use your phone, probably you even don't need 2.1 and are fine with 1.5. Then try this (this is also for the new Radio: use Radio Switcher)
Cursorsense's 1.5 (Most solid build I know of)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
Then before booting flash this:

Boot and fasten your seatbelt. It's not as fast as HTCClay... but its the closest experience you can get with any Sense ROM...

PS: Probably there is a huge flame coming our way for off topic discussion. I guess we have to stop. Going for cover
LOL! ur help has been awesome my friend =)
LOL! ur help has been awesome my friend =)
I would recommend you use cyanogenmod 5 if you want stability
sense roms cannot compare to AOSP roms for stability because they are a proprietary framework which cannot be updated unless htc releases a new version
and CM 5 is the fastest eclair rom I have tried - faster than even donut roms
i wouldnt go with 1.5....there are to many apps/widgets that wont run...
i would recommend cyan's latest 1.6 rom, 4.2.15.1 .. stable (better than stock roms), fast and has great battery life...
if you must get 2.1 then go for cyan's latest 5.0.7 test6 2.1 rom, or sanpei's if you must really want sense...
i run cyan's latest 2.1 rom and its stable as hell, as fast as his 1.6 rom, rock solid and great battery life..
ultimately its your choice.. i would stay away from JIT though, to unstable...

try DialerOne, it has the "keypad-T9" function and is free on the market
the only downside is it's really not as pretty as the sense dialer(feels a little clunky and outdated)
as far as the ROM goes, i'm using alan090's modded CM5 t5 right now, OC'd to 710MHz and with JIT enabled. best rom i've had so far, really snappy and stable. JIT seems to be very stable on my phone, i wasn't even sure i had enabled it correctly at first.. until i ran linpack and got a good 4.5 MFLOPS
I have a somewhat related question:
should i be afraid of a overclocked cpu rom heating wise? sometimes i feel my phone heating a little and i am using a default speed rom.

I'm on cm7 nightly 30 and loving it. Just checked and the 31 was released yesterday. I've noticed a huge increase in battery life and performance, especially without ADW Launcher and just using stock Gingerbread's instead.
I'm using the CoreDroid theme. It has excellent battery life and its smooth and fast. In the 4.8 update I noticed it had bast wifi signal pickup. Once they fix it ill recommend it
HTC Inspire not Desire!
Leedroid or CM7
Sent From My T-Mobile Inspire HD Using XDA Premium App
Give MIUI a try, just to check it out.
I agree w charlieb Leedroid is way to go
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
It's kind of a personal choice. I like RCMix, Coredroid, and Leedroid. I am currently hooked on Di11igaf's ROM, though. It's all about what you like, so just give them all a try and see what you prefer.
Depends on what you like, either be performance or look, I really like the sense UI, but I also love a fast phone, I have tried Coredroid, Android revolution, stock and Cyanogenmod 7, so far Android revolution seems to be the most stable of all, Coredroid had several apps force close and CM 7 was acting weird tried several flashes and all ended in reboot loop.
TPC v2 with Leedroid Kernel 2.2.8 is lightning fast, not a single issue with anything, gps locks in 10-15 seconds on 7+ sats, 2+ DL, 1.4+ UL speeds on average (i've hit 4+ DL and 2+ UL depending on time of day and location) and the battery is a huge increase over stock. Was seeing about 8 hours before battery warning with stock, now 12 with same usage (alot of conference calls, LiveProfile messaging, and march madness updates ). I flashed the dilligaf but had some issues with connection speed, but the rom and kernel are INSANE fast and he hasnt even OC'd the kernel yet (quadrant pulled a 2200, my current tpc/lee with stock OC+18 i only hit mid 1800s).
CM7 isnt done yet, for linux users its like a rolling distro, too many kinks and hate having to update nightly to find out what is working now and what that update broke, i need something stable as this is my work and personal phone, 'my android kernel ruined my radio' wouldnt be an acceptable excuse.
I haven't really wanted the flash of the other ROMs as i usually remove all the widgets from my home screen. If i want to know the weather, i goto the weather on the internet, if i want the news, i look it up, i dont need it updating on my phone constantly, and grouping of the icons defeats the purpose of having 5 home screens anyway, so that point seems moot....the only ROM i'm currently interested in is the ASOP style once dilligaf is done....my 2cents

My market wouldn't update with TPC and I could not stand the animations with LeeDroid although his kernel is the best out right now. My current setup is in my sig, was on RcMixHD 5.2 for ages but after a while, the novelty of Gingerbread wore off. I can't see any benefit of using a Sense Gingerbread ROM until custom kernels are available. I also ran CM7 for a while but I can't keep away from Sense, I love it!

[Q] What is the best ROM so far?

I follow the development thread every now and again. Recently so much stuff has sprung up i am confused. Reading it tells me so much and I don't want to install every single one to find out properly.
I currently have
[ROM]MiuiXt_Final_V2 optimize english pack (update 29/6/2011)
which is pretty good.
But now there is Wanhus, CyanogenMod variations, XDA special?
Whats the difference, whats the most improved one? Help!

The Wanhu and Special are similar but different. The Special is the way to go (but not yet b/c Hellmonger is working on the stuck at M problem). Wanhu with MZ patch works very well according to Libertymonger. CM6 is also very good-customizable, but it is still in development and may not be what you are looking for quite yet.
My suggestion is to go to front page of all three and see specs and what you want out of them. Most of us can't really stay on a ROM for more than a week anyways, so we are constantly flashing over and over to tweak this or mess with that.
Good Luck and always make back ups.
If I had to choose between any of the 2.2 ROMs it'd have to be WanHU stock, no patches. But I have to say my priorities have changed a lil after trying out each and every ROM. Stability issues have bothered me alot with most of the ROM's and I found coming from the 2.1 signapore SBF with Wanhu over it was the most stable. Not to mention the stock look, improved battery life and overall functionality. But people's tastes might be different. The special is based on WanHU with alot of customizations, from the theme to the inner workings of the ROM, and it is still in developement so there are some boot problems. Also people don't like the korean number format which is fixed in the special. CM6 is pretty cool too, loads of customizations right from the settings but its not without its problems, eg the stock google camera app doesnt take pictures at full resolution and there are also other tiny bugs here and there. I'd say try the special, or wanhu and watch the CM6 development.
I actually don't know when I will be content with the version of ROM on my phone. Theres always new ROMS released for any phones, and I always have an urge to update it to the latest. I think its becoming an obsession almost.
as a guideline, I wouldn't recommend any 2.3 roms from experience. I don't think our phones have the overall capacity and stability for 2.3.
And its also true about the battery life. 2.2 seems to drain battery on my phone faster.
Khalpowers WanHU
I would have to say for now, until Hellmonger releases his Special Hellmonger edition, Khalpower's WhanHU steelblue is the best, Very Very stable, ram is very stable between 50-85 constant, and when you kill apps it holds steady instead of just dropping again. Only downfall with it is 20% battery increments(being worked on) and phone number format( also may be fixed). If we didn't have Hellmongers Special after it is made stable, Khal's would be my choice for now. It is fully functional with fm radio and tv out and whatever else. I think Hellmonger's mod's to it is more to do with the whole phone like camera and recording and things too maybe. I know CM6 is super super fast but khal's is fast enough for me plus can handle the games and things. I will take fast and functionality over superfast with half functionality. My 2 cents! stick it in yo pocket or cash it in! lol
The CM6 rom is a potential rom to be the best... However there are several issues to fix like the camera/camcorder application(8mp/hd recording), FM etc....
As of now, I'm using the original Wanhu stock rom with the latest update from Mioze, Dark Froyo Theme and ADW-Ex launcher... overclock at 1200 MHz, 75 vsel, this rom rocks..... very fast and snappy.
After been useing cm6 its the best.
No memory leaks.
Its very compatiable with ardoidiani openrecovery.
You have reboot the phone everyday.
It blazing fast.
No radio support who cares its a crapy radio any way.
I have test them all and CM6 is by far the best.

Cm6 is very competent in my opinion. Was on miui before this and I must say cm6 has beaten our miui rom in stability and speed. With stability I mean the general absense of force closes and reboots.

I'm looking for the exact same answer and I thinking I leaning towards the stock roms.
Because most of those I have tried proved to be unstable at some point. One made my camera lose some features, the other made the fm radio stop working altogether.
And finally the last I've tried couldn't run Skype well, it would crash misteriously. Now I'm back to the stock rom, only this time is rooted and a newer version. So far so good, happy to have a stable phone again. I get enough headaches and crashes from my laptop and pc.
CM6.
My reason its the best.
1. Have not had reboot fot five days.
2.you can under clock it to 650 and fast as hell.
3. Memory avg aound 70 but it can go high 110 i have had this high.
4. When under clock much better battery life.
5. The most staible rom i have used on xt720.
Many more reason picking this rom.
You need to use ardoidiani openrecovery with cm6.

That's weird.. I don't overclock cm6 and it runs smooth at default 720 mhz. I then overclock it to 1 ghz, and back to 720 mhz, and its sluggish. I cannot imagine running it lower than 720. Not to mention by average free memory has gone down since i installed it a week ago. Average was 70-80, now its like: 20-30. I use autokiller memory optomizer and advanced task killer, but it still stays at 20-30 free mbs.
On the brighter side, battery seems to be extended a couple of hours for me on this rom. I can get 2+hours of phone call, texting all day, and some web surfing and game playing in for about 14 hours and have 20% battery left. It has yet to crash and restart, and I love the themes. It is really fast for me at 1 ghz. This is all updated over top the Cincinnati Bell froyo 2.2 "update".
I dont use minifree or any taskmanagers their a wast of memory.
I manage program memory through ardroidiani openrecovery.

I also agree that CM6 is the best. I only have reboots every few days. FM radio and Camera as well are things I can live without.
so its between wanhu and CM6.. interesting, no-one has the miui rom as their top choice....i really like the sync, brigtness, data, gps switching on the fly on the notification bar.
Do wanhu or cm6 have this features? saves space and reduces amount of widgets needed. Also anyone know if MIUI has a push messaging problem?

CM6 has this. You can select/choose from up to 6 buttons in CM settings.

jus when i thought cm6 was going to be perfect for me...cm6 has a camera limitation?
what is it?
Miui's camera seems faster and less memory hungry that moto stock so thats a big plus for me
I had [ROM]MiuiXt_Final_V2 optimize english pack (update 29/6/2011) (my favorite)
Yestarday I installed Wanhus but I had problems with my signal, APN, etc. It is so fast, but I prefer SteelEpicBlue V4.
Today I'm gonna try with CM6.

Some things about camera on CM6: the menu that pops up for setting preferences (the top most of the six icons) actually scrolls, but it's impossible to have known that because it doesn't look like that at all. Also, milaq's CM 6.3.0 has updates to the camera--6.3.0 for XT720 should be out today or tomorrow depending on how testing goes this evening (it's built and sitting on my disk ). Mostly the CM camera doesn't offer to crop images to widescreen format by chopping off the top and bottom--so people expecting 8MP to be widescreen maybe get confused (I haven't tested this yet because of the camera updates that are in 6.3.0).
The other somewhat hassle with CM6 at the moment is that video playback isn't on par with WanHu/XDAspecial yet. Software decoding works as a workaround to playback some files, but WanHu/XDAspecial seems to be the media king. I also don't think HDMI output works yet on CM6, but it supposedly works well on WanHu/XDAspecial.
I agree with mchlbenner on the pluses of CM6 having tested Dexter 1.3, MIUI V2-V4, WanHu and the Cincinati Bell Froyo.I personally find that CM6 has the least Forced close and reboots and better power consumption of the ROMS I have tried.
IMHO, I reckon we cannot expect these modded ROMS to be 100% perfect since it is the work of the community as there will always be some small lingering issues - just try all the ROMS and then decide which ones suit your needs the best or closest.
haha jus as i was about to flash cm6 ..the final xda special hellmonger has been released...spoilt for choice again!
I have a feeling i might spend the whole day just flashing roms
