Issue with CPU running bionix 2 w/trinity

i'm running the bionix 2 rom and the compatible ext4 kernel, but when I benchmark it on smartbench 2011, It seems like only 1 core is being used because I get a 1300-1500 productivity score. I flash back to stock, stock bionix, or stock EB and the scores go back to normal (around 3000 productivity). What is going on?

maybe u got a bad download? when dl kernel?

I downloaded it last night, then redownloaded today, same problem. I actually got normal scores like twice in the beginning, but after that it just seems like only 1 core is being used.

Clear cache and dalvik cache in clockwork and see if that helps

also did that each time. I don't think it's just me. People are running quadrant and getting much higher scores(including me). But if you look at the scores for each individual category. You will notice that the only thing that is higher is the I/O due to ext4. the I/O score is so heavily inflated, that the overall quadrant score goes up while some other things are going down. I don't know why everyone relies so heavily on quadrant but it's so inaccurate.

True that. I hate it when websites run quadrant in their reviews. Specially when the app hasn't even been updated for dual core phones

How come some phones get high quadrant scores?

Hey
I overclocked my Galaxy S and I did some tests in quadrant to see if my clock gave me lower performance.. Anyways I got 2950 as my best score @ 1.5 GHz but I see some HD2's getting 4400 in socre @ 1.5 GHz. I thougt my Galaxy S would get a better score then a HD2. Is it becouse the HD2 running a slimmer rom with less background processes or are they just lying?

I believe quadrant scores are heavily varying and dependent on the device, and for the most part, do very little to reflect "real" performance.
I don't have a straight answer, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your scores are still magnitude's higher than my Hero, my absolute highest (with unsafe tweaks to the clock and kernel) was about roughly 500

Overclocking is just ramping up the processor in your CPU to higher frequencies for faster performance. There are limits, you can't go too high because you risk damage and overheating, and going too low can cause severe slowdowns and instability.
BUt finding a sweet spot for the minimum and maximum processor speed can result in a much faster phone when the screen is on and a way better battery life with the screen off.

nice.... n thanx.... how did it works.... is there any soft stuff(app) available for it or somethin else....????

Ah...Good old days!
Anyways,there are many many ways to cheat quadrant.Running the app from a ramdisk,patching SQlite,running a rom from SD(I think) all boost the scores.That is,however,because Quadrant relies heavily on I/O,which gives unreal scores.Remove I/O benchmarking from the test and you have a helluva accurate benchmark.Pretty good too.
But on the SGS,let me make my guess.Are you running Cognition rom?If yes,are you using interactive governor?Again,if yes,switch to performance governor and yay,4000+ points in Quadrant!

Unfortunately, it requires a custom kernel, which in turn requires a custom recovery (and in some cases, a custom ROM) to achieve.

ohhh crap!!!! thats the reason i want a forum or some dev to create interest in my device..... hey can u tell me somethin j shud do....????

Im using CM7 with Glitch kernel. And I used "smartass" when I got the score but now I get like 2470 in score now even with performance. Plugged in the charger and now I got 2888 in score so I guess the charger helps a lot in quadrant to..

Cannot agree more. It sure is fun showing around your quadrant score but a quadrant score never reflects true real world performance. Maybe, Neocore would be a better benchmark but then again non of these benchmarks would show how fast apps could load or how smooth you switch between apps.
I use an LG GT540 Optimus. I was able to reach 64.3fps on neocore and 1250 on quadrant after overclocking to some 800MHz with performance controller.
Quadrant also doesn't reflect the core memory/cpu usage. ie Sense UI eats more resources than vanilla. So, same phone running vanilla and sense will have different scores.
I believe Samsung uses TouchWiz. Perhaps, you could score better with a vanilla rom or cyanogenmod.
Last but not the least, Quadrant scores could be faked just as easy as you could fake version numbers in About Phone.

dling now...will report back with results
ETA: phone may be a little smoother? quad scores and linpack scores both stayed in the same range

is this to work with aosp and sense roms?

It seems to work with Static Nonsense...I can tell a difference but I wouldn't say its dramatic.

I lost root with this, then fixed it, but didn't notice any real improvement after that. Scores stayed the same.

Couldn't hurt. I have to admit my web pages are loading faster, transitions are smoother...apps seem to be loading quicker and overall I can tell a difference...but again I have to say its not a "I'm just blown away by this" difference.
Just wanted to add that after flashing this, the first boot took forever...so long in fact I thought I was gonna have to pull the battery and recover a recent backup.

It did improve overall. even lower bat. drain. Thank you dsexton702 for the share.

What ROM are you using?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

First boot took a little while for me as well using CM7 nightly, but I do definitely like the increase in how smooth everything feels.

Anyone using this with a Sense ROM?

I'm using with VU 2.35 sense 3.0 and it does wonders my score before at 1 ghz. Was 1800
Right after installing u.s.a.s still at 1 ghz jumped up to 2200 quadrent score.
After oc to 1.3 ghz my quadrent score was 2600
Runs very nice hard to tell difference as VU 2.35 runs so smooth but its an improvement
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Went from 1991 to 2056. VU 2.35 runs very nice, but was having a small hesitation when turning on screen and this seems to have fixed that issue. Very nice work

So if I cook this in, my autofill does NOT work in messaging, but if I flash it after a rom install its fine

This is an awesome tweak my processor has never been stable over 1.3 now Im running 1.7 ghz and its crazy fast got my quadrent score up to 3000 running this fast
Never had such a smooth experience doesn't matter how many apps are open.

Could you previously overclock to 1836 without problems? I only ask as that clock for me way back was too much.Wondered if he had cracked the "only for some devices"

I was made aware that it is not 2.2ghz and is actually 1.78ghz with false identification on actual speed, trip has been made aware of this whether he did it intentially or by accident.

so what exactly does this do for the performance of your phone? Is it just apps opening up faster and games a little better?
I understand the performance gains in cpu overclocking for computers in that you get faster encoding for videos, maybe a few more fps in gaming etc but how noticeable is doing an overclock for your phone?
Is it more of a just because you can or is there a real benefit to the user that they can notice?
A 30% overclock on your PC might give you 10-15% better performance but does that equate to similar improvements with a moving to 1.5 or 1.78ghz on your phone?

It's a balance there is only so much you can get out of the CPU in anything once it passes the threshold you get less from it more heat less life we are at 1.2 default I would say after 2.0 we won't get much more but a dead battery is 3 hrs I got mine at 1.1 I am good with battery vs power consumption

So what difference has ICS made?

First off, this is not to take anything away from the incredible work put in by everyone. Its awesome that an online community can put so much effort in and share with people they've never met.
That said, have we gained much from this ICS? I was running XBSALL's GB ROM with the Prometheus kernel and it worked very well. 1400MHz, could occasionally free up 300MB RAM, scored 6500 on Antutu and had good battery life. Has this brought us anything more?
I asked this question before the port and was told that ICS will bring features like RAM management etc that will make our phones much better. We are still in the early stages of a ported ICS so we can't expect much yet but will this upgrade make a big difference to our phones?
I'm still quite a noob - GB was a massive improvement over Froyo, will we eventually see the same level of improvement with ICS?

Thanks for your stock GB vs stock ICS Rom figures. Good to have this kind of comparison.
Sent from my LG-SU870 using xda premium

ICS make a better use of RAM resources. This can be seen by exiting from games or browsers.
According to speed - maximum benchmarks should be the same on the same MHz. And the MHz depend on the voltage (and this is s.t. that you do not want to increase too much unless you want to charge it every 2h or have a NONmobile phone). And the voltage depend on the kernel. So... in this aspect - they are the same (probably 5% more points gained from different tweaks in the kernel but nobody can say for GB or ICS )

Ability to somewhat multitask by holding down the home button is quite nice.
