Question about Captivate 2.2 with root - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

So I'm a total noob when it coes to this, but I managed to get the 2.2 onto the phone and it rooted. (I checked with titanium backup) I ran a benchmark and its still saying im in the 900 range.. Any suggestions or answers to speed it up a little?? Please and thanks!

Benchmarks are not reliable at all in determining real world performance. Just because it says a lower number doesn't mean it is slower. If the phone feels fast then that is really all that matters, and with the captivate, you already have one of the fastest phones on the market.
If you really want that number raised, make sure you have a lagfix active. My captivate gets around 1500 on designgears 2.2 cognition rom with voodoo lagfix. On 2.1 cognition, I was getting 2300+ in quadrant, but my phone was much slower overall. Reliable? I think not...

Ya, a custom ROM with a kernel that has lagfix (i think all of them do) is really the best way.

If you're going to root your phone to install a lagfix, I suggest just flashing Cognition or one of the other great ROMs that include a lagfix.

Dont use that, if you want a real lagfix look in the dev section for a rom with one already included.
I echo the others. A ROM with a baked in lagfix is much better usually.

I had no problems with oclf. I'm running cog now and don't notice much difference when it comes to speed. Of course cog is way better then stock, for many reasons. My favorite difference is the ability to sideload.

Hey guys...I really appreciate your help...
I have the 2.2 UCJI6
I just got the OCLF and the perfornance was very very increased...Do you think Im still need to put the cog???
In the bechmark im getting more than 1800...is amazing...i liked...
But, if you think is better i get the cognition...i will try...So far everything is working very very good!!!
Thanks so much for the tips...
Second that motion. Fast rom with lagfix built in. Tried several and so far Axura is smokin' fast.

If you read the lagfix threads from the beginning you would see that the Quadrant scores are meaningless - all they tell you is you are not running stock or your scores would be ~900. All scores are now completely artificial as some of the lagfixes create funky files and filesystem combos to get good performance but invalidate the tests.
Stop spamming the boards and do some research, start with the stickies

Dude you should try di11igaf's Rom. Built off of jk3, everything works (including haptic feedback for home button), HSUPA, Mobile AP, etc. Gps Jupiter files + jm9 fix pre-installed. Linpack for me 17.50 average. Quadrant is always between 1800-1900+. (not that that matters, it's just a reference). All in all though, in my opinion, better that cog , perception, or auxura. Yes, I've used them all.

So I installed cognition and that comes with a lagfix? Because when I was rebooting I heard a robotic voice say "lagfix applied" but when I run Quandrant I only get in the 1400s

Rogers Samsung Captivate (I896) Slow after 2.2 Upgrade

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2 froyo using Samsung Kies. Before upgrading, I did a factory reset to avoid running into any complications after or during the upgrade. Overall, the upgrade process was successful.
However, now my phone is running much slower, choppier - especially the browser. Even though I am getting better results in Linpack, i.e. 14-16, I am getting worse results in Quadrant, i.e. 1,800-2,000 instead of 2,200-2,300.
What is the problem? Anyone else ran into the same problem as me? I though upgrading to froyo would make my Captivate faster?
Thanks,
JUNG-NA
I completed the upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies over the weekend. That was not a straight forward process. I am noticing speed issues now, especially with the transitions and the pull down notification bar. The pull down notification bar has a 2 to 3 second delay. Original Quandrant score was between 800 and 900 and after the update the score is ~1000, i have not applied any lag fixes and the phone is unlocked and rooted.
The update was a leak and older, so it's un optimized. Either flash back to ji2, flash a voodoo kernel, or flash another custom rom.

Can't speak for everyone but I've done a lagfix on a Telus Fascinate and a Bell Vibrant(I9000M) and Quadrant was getting around 2200-2300 with 2.1 and only around 1900 with 2.2 so it seems normal.
Even with these numbers, the phone felt a bit faster with 2.2. Have only heard of 1 incident with GPS being wonky.

Overclocking with cm7?

Hi guys,
I'm new to android (coming from an iPhone 4 - zero regrets).
I just have a few questions about my Nexus S if anyone's willing to answer me:
I installed the latest NSCollab (1.0.21) on my NS and I was wondering what the benefits of overclocking with the cm7 performance settings are?
I'm not worrying about battery life as I carry around 2 extra batteries.
Can I leave it set to min 100 and max 1400 at all times? Is there anything else I should be modifying?
Here are my specs for more info:
Nexus S i9020A Fido
Rom: NSCollab 1.0.21
Kernel: Netarchy 1.3.0.2
Radio: KB3
Also, I had the KB2 Radio and I just flashed KB3 when I updated my rom today. I haven't really noticed any changes from KB2. Is there any way to verify?
I'm glad to be part of the awesome Android universe! I just love my NS.
Thanks in advance!

Well for starters it will make your phone feel faster. Scratch that...it WILL be faster. It doesn't seriously affect your battery life, but that's just me. I usually get through the day with just over 30% left by 9pm.
Now about overclocking...I'd be careful with how much you overclock; depending on your phone and your luck, you may be one of the lucky ones that can overclock to 1.4ghz, with stability. To my knowledge, not a lot of people can. Try going at 1.2 first, use it for a day or so, just to get the feel and make sure your phone can even handle that. and then if it seems stable go up to 1.3 and so on and so forth.
You may find that after a certain frequency your phone will start to randomly reboot and stuff...this is a sign you should probably clock it a little lower...especially since it really is only a "1ghz" processor anyway.
Hope this helps!

low quadrant score

Hi all, first time posting and sorry if this has been asked before. I am running cm7 nightly and have recently tried the quadrant benchmark and am getting some pretty low scores. I know these builds are not stable but even so the scores are low. getting mid 1600s and I have seen other around 2200. is this just because of the cm7 build? thanks.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Install this kernel, overclock to 12-1300mhz and try again.
wow sweet! bumped to 1200 and ran a 2000 on quadrant. what's the most the captivate CPU can handle?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Can't really say much for Quadrant, as I haven't run it in forever, but I run 1.5ghz stable 24/7 on cm7 w/ glitch. Runs buttery smooth through pretty much any app.
I've kinda been out of the loop in regards to the Captivate, but afaik max clock is 1.6.
I heard something about shao doing a 1.8 kernel, but again, idk how true it is or anything, and I'm lax in time, so I can't really research lol.
yea i see the option to run at 1.6 just didnt know if it was safe to do so. I bet 1.5 runs smooth. Thanks.
Quadrant is nothing of a benchmark, the hummingbird kernel isn't even read correctly. On the CM7 forum I've mentioned this before. Basing everything off a quadrant score is complete in the redundant theory, try using a real benchmark, suggestion.
Smartbench> quadrant
Sent from I'm sure glad Danger went under, else I'd still be on a Mr.Cartoon SK2.
As stated above. Don't put to much into scores. Judge by real world feel. I can show you a Rom that scores almost 3000 on quadrant but runs like crap. Trust your judgement. As for overclocking, it is device dependent. My cap couldn't handle anything over 1.3.
And yes all this has been stated before. A search would have saved you some time.

What roms are the fellow rogers people flashing?

I've been on stock for several months now and still loving it, but today I decided I think I would now move onto flashing a rom on this. (Inspiration to do so because of the iPhone 4s) I notice this phone does lag and I want to clear that up if a rom will do that. So my question is what Rom would be safe for a Roger's phone and will not boot up with one of those AT&T screens. What rom is everyone using out there?
Im more or less just asking for a suggestions haha.

I was on doctorz v8, but v9 turned me away from them, so im trying to make one from 2 different ones... probably going to be obbsession without its artwork, and put in the mosiac dialer... glad im not the only canadian in this forum eh?! haha
Infused. Based off Rogers stock, optimized and just plain perfect. Its a shame that it got pushed down the list from all the ports...

Have you looked into overclocking?
I'm running the stock Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 and love it.
Overclocked to 1.6Ghz
Infusion-GB Core-A2
OC/UV w/ SetCPU
Memory tweaks w/ Auto killer
I get outstanding performance, perfectly stable & have doubled my stock battery life.
Overclocking will give you much greater performance increases over a ROM change, especially since we're fortunate enough to have been given the lovely Gingerbread stock.
Undervolting will keep you running cool & save you a lot of battery power too.
