I'm making this topic to help guys who switch from iPhone and get the Infuse 4g, Okay easily they can follow the routing process, after that the big question is now what?
Please if anyone have suggestion or any Apps that you think will make new rooters enjoy the infuse 4g do post.
My 1st suggestion is SetCpu app,
This can adjust your processors speed and even make it run faster from 1.2ghz to 1.4ghz+, they called this overclocking.

First app after root should be Titanium Backup, donate version.
yea, thats right, then its easy restore.

Noob question here. I'm rooted and downloaded setcpu. How do I move the cursor past the 1.2 mark?

need a different cpu driver. that means either a kernel module or an overclock kernel. unfortunately there is basically no kernel dev going on for thins phone that i know of and overclock is not yet an option. it will be soon but dont expect much. many hummingbird chips cant reach speeds any faster than 1.3ghz, though theinfuse may have a cpu that tests beter than the galaxy s to support the higher stock clock speed. a few hummingbirds can go to 1.6ghz so if you get lucky it can be very very fast. just luck of the draw though. i an more interested in a gingerbread port however. the market and browser and overall feeling of the phone on 2.3.3 is more significant than overclocking and safer as well.
the processor in the infuse is not the same generation as what you would find in something like the captivate. like the different generations of the snapdragon, performance and specifications are pretty much completely different. ill expect some high cpu values to come when we get a new kernel.
Overclocking phones is stupid. It does little more than increase heat, decrease battery, and inflate benchmarks.

the build.prop shows the same part number. it is the same generation. the snapdragon went through a die shrink (65nm-45nm) and got a new graphics processor. not exactly a good comparison. qc may be better now but that doesnt mean you should expect any more than 1.4 ghz and a few people might be stuck with no overclock at all. really if you want a faster phone why buy what is more or less a midrange processor? infact it is soo hard to find a <1ghz chip now that there isnt really a mid range this year only single core and dual core. there is the tegra2 and the new orion chips and will soon be dual core snapdragons. believe me if this is not fast enough you really want to look at a different platform. i got this phone because i realize clock speed is not as important as good software and because the sgs was so good i thought a bigger screen, more ram, and mhl could only be a good thing.

+100 for this comment.
EVERY overclocked ROM in every phone's thread claims it's 2x faster than any other phone. haha... if every phone is faster than every other phone, what's the point?
I think overclocking is just done for those who need that little extra control in their life that they may be lacking elsewhere, hehe
Exactly... why would You want to overclock a phone, to tell Your friends its overclocked?

hell yeah. its impressive. ive never broken anything by overclocking anything. theres been protection built into them for years. its not like battery is really effected, its a scaling processor, its only at the overclocked speed when you need it. as far as im concerned, its free performance, and i plan to use it when the infuse gets some overclockyness.

They may hold true for the Captivate or even the Infuse but it definitely was not the case with the Inspire. A mild bump from 1.0 to 1.2ghz made a very substantial difference in smoothness and feel and did very little to heat and battery.
I find screenshot it so useful. For rooters only

Please keep the suggestions coming. I am new to Android from the iphone and a newbie to rooting. Knew my way around jailbreaking and what i needed and wanted once that was accomplished, but to tell the truth alot of that comes standard with android so looking to broaden my horizons even more.
I noticed an appreciable difference with my Epic when I overclocked from 1.0ghz to 1.2ghz. Games that normally used to lag, stopped lagging completely. Games load faster. The system performance is much smoother as well.

Hello everybody. I have a Samsung Galaxy I5800 and the quadrant result was 339. Is that good?
That sounds really low actually. If you use the quadrant standard app it will show you your benchmark in relation to other phones to give you an idea of where you're at.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
yes, you are right. Actually I did a little research my self and I found that this number is pretty much low even for my phone itself (without comparing to better phones at all)
That is very low to give you an idea my phones benchmark is at 1847
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Synthetic benchmarks, especially one as crap and easily manipulated as Quadrant, will tell you nothing about how the phone feels in real life.
It's like how the manufacturers want to put dual core cpus in their phones so that they can add more and more bloatware. The device will score high in a benchmark but will be significantly slower than a single core running a vanilla ROM.

Yes, I know and I totally agree with you. This is not only in cellphones. In computer's world things are much more worse. But I only use this app to have an overall idea of my phone potential, since I have installed the latest version of 2.2, deleted lots of stuff I didn't need and installed only a few absolutely necessary aftermarket applications, and yet my phone is relatively slow according to what I see over the net.
In another tread of xda I saw some numbers of what is considered to be a good result for galaxy 3 and it's over 500. Almost 550. So I'm now definitely sure that's there is something wrong with my phone since it only scores 330.
So, I'd like to know if there is any way to make it a bit better?
No I don't have a SG3 I Have Captivate and even before I tweeked this phone I still scored upper 900. This phone is only rooted with stock froyo and it is fast as hell so I decided to stay away from third party roms for now.

Trust me, it's not third party ROMs that make a phone slow. Mine scored that low from the very first moment I flashed the os. Before installing anything but quadrant.
So, any other ideas?
Anyone ???
Quadrant isn't reliable. You shouldn't worry about it. If you are satisfied with your phone then that's that.
In reference to third-party roms, they are usually designed to be much faster than stock actually. You might want to consider finding one for your phone to give it a boost.

Actually I'm not satisfied with my phone at all. That's why I started this thread. It's slow, it has glitches, apps crash occasionally and generally it's unpredictable. For example, double twist, the app I used instead of the built in player, starts playing by itself quite often, while it not even on running apps list...
I have a captivate running firefly 3.0. I was getting 2100 with eclair. 1800 with froyo. Now in the 1300 range. Firefly is definitely garter even though the scores don't show it. I have zero lag now. I dint think the benchmark scores are that reliable.

My blade on CM7 goes to 900+
I can't seem to find a model number of the processor used in the Infuse. Is it the same Hummingbird that is in the Nexus S (S5PC110), just OC'ed to 1.2gh?
If so, does that mean that we are tapped out at 1.2?
Yes, same processor, just OCed. I'm sure it could overclock a little more up to at least 1.4 like the original Galaxy S could, maybe 1.6 if you're lucky.
thanks... not that I am complaining about the speed... just hoping for a higher baseline to work with

yes. it seems to be identical. some users may be topped, but they may have saved better tested units for faster clocked phones. there may be a greater percentage of users that can see above 1300mhz than on the sgs. if you are concerned about clockspeeds then get a snapdragon powered phone. qualcom has there own dies and some of them see speeds as high as 1.8ghz.
but im sure if you see this chip at 1.4ghz+ benchmark you wont see a need for more

meh... this seems more than fast enough for me (right now)... not sure I need to mess with it, just for benchmark bragging rights.
oh, who am I kidding, of course, I will OC it when a kernel gets released
I just wanted to post this for information only.
Even though the chip is the same, since is OC'd from the factory it means a higher quality chip. Thus it should still be able to clock higher than the other 1Ghz chips.
It may be a similar chip, but much smoother than when I overclocked galaxy. Benchmarks are better than the inspire I overclocked 1.5g

Didn't feel any smoother than an overclocked Captivate running a 2.2.1 firmware to me and didn't bench any higher either. If it is smoother, it's probably because of tweaked software and different memory and/or nand components.
The chip itself has the same model number.

That's funny cuz the GPU in the hummingbird still blows away HTC's dual cores in terms of graphics performance, maybe you should read up on the processors before you go making claims like that. No you can't overclock it to twice what it is stock, but you don't need to because it was built right, HTC is stuck on outdated omap chips with craptastic adreno gpus that can barely render anything

Yes you get 5 min of battery life and your cores will fry in a few months from being pushed too hard, give yourself a pat on the back. There are no apps built for a phone yet that would take advantage of that kind of power, maybe in 2 years but by that time you will be busy frying a quadcore

That is true, htc phones are known to have higher overclocks but it really depends on the individual chip. The same phone owned by 2 different people can usually reach different speeds like one can only do 200mhz OC and another 800. the g2 was a 1ghz chip that was underclocked to 800mhz, the samsung is not and from what I've seen/friends have owned I think samsung has blown HTC away in the past year with their chips and performance, build quality not so much.
Im seeing more and more threads asking for stuff but it seems like noone wants to get their hands dirty actually dev'ing and it's obnoxious. If someone does make an OCc'able kernel then they are going to have to deal with everyone pissing and moaning when they fry their phones or can't go as high as they want and there really is no point when the phone is fast as **** stock

overclocking i believe is pointless because your phone shouldnt go that fast and it ruins the internals and compromises battery. yes in the past years samsung has blown away htc in the chip section but i fell htc are more overclock capable
We have 1GHz stock , once we get a ocable kernel 1.2GHz will be fine no more than that we don't wanna push the cpu to fry now .

This phone is actually 10x better than the g2 and is a worthy upgrade, but I don't think you're worthy...
You have Tegra 2 games advantage. Browser performance is probably little bit faster on G2X even though they both can probably only do 480p Adobe Flash at max.

Now I'm planning on getting this phone and have heard some good things about its speed. I sold my MT4G not to long ago and I think any dual core phone if quicker than what I had, I doubt the G2X is so terrible on Ginger.
It would help if you told us the problems with ur phone so we can help to get it fixed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
probably one of the best up to date phones that has vanilla android. cant stand sense that much
Well the G2 is a good solid phone. It's been out for much longer and is seasoned and tweaked to run well. I had a Nexus One and it worked pretty well.
One thing you have to realize is that Android doesn't even take advantage of dual cores yet, not until Ice Cream Sandwich. ICS also will bring (supposedly) whole UI graphic acceleration (like Win7 and iOS) for smooth transitions and fancy effects.
So while what you say is true, (My G2 was just as fast as the G2x), you are speaking in terms of NOW. But the G2x has some power under its hood. If Android can unlock the GPU for its UI, we'll definitely have the fastest phone out there.
As far as Streaming TV and video, that sounds like an app issue. You came from a second generation Snapdragon which was widely supported to a Tegra 2 which is new and fresh. Different apps run differently on different chipsets. If you use a Video player that properly utilizes the Tegra's, you'll have smooth playback. Bandwidth also comes into play. I stream Netflix all the time and have no issues, just depends on where you are. Hotels usually throttle network utilization so everyone can grab a piece of the pie, especially voice, video and P2P traffic. I typically have no issue at hotels either and I travel a LOT.
Perhaps it would be beneficial to tell us your setup. Rom, kernel, apps, etc.
I run MIUI 1.9.23 and no special kernel (ATM) or use Faux's 4.2 SV Kernel at normal speeds. I don't OC or UV or anything fancy. MIUI still has its issues but overall works great and is a joy to use.
MIUI, CM7, or Weapon is the best choices IMO. Weapon works VERY well but I think its butt ugly coming from MIUI or CM7 themes (no offense!). CM7 and MIUI work great but will probably never be perfect (because they are always changing and adding stuff) where Weapon is going after a stock-like perfection.
Also lots of the issues of the custom roms regarding WiFi Calling and APN issues are thought to be caused by the SIM card or related. I ordered a SUPER OLD never used SIM card off ebay, the old style, and will do some testing to see if I get any better results. Cost me $5.50 total and if it works, it will be money well spent. Good luck Jim.
i love the phone i used to have a Garminfone and this is 100 times better

If the devs port ICS we will see it, LG won't be giving us anymore updates. G2X is dead to them.
Oh no doubt, my statement was based on the deb's porting it to all our devices. I know LG isn't gonna release any more updates or OTA cuz they suck. Without our devs our phones would never see ICS and therefore be obsolete long time ago.

There is no legal binding about the update. Even the GB update was to fix the issues they had and save their brand-name.

Please do leave, You sir have no concept of how a processor works. If you over clock to 1.55 Its clocked at 1.55, Its not 3ghz because you can add both together. It just does not work like that, Tasks that are made to run on one core don't become suddenly faster because of the extra core helping out, The extra core hardly helps out at all. The only reason why the tegra 2 is Snappy is because of the CPU architecture and the gpu that's bolted in. Benchmarks don't mean a thing if a Snapdragon MSM8255 can run toe to toe with the Tegra 2 in applications.
The G2x is an awesome phone. I think that you just have not found a ROM that suites your needs. My wife has a G2 and she is all the time saying that she wants to switch phones because hers is so slow. Hers is rooted and overclocked to 1.5Ghz. Like someone said before tell us your problems and let us help you get your phone working right for you. Trust me people on this forum site can get your phone working properly for you.

Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm posting it on the wrong part of the forum, not sure if it's a General question or a Develop one.
I am still thinking if I want to buy the HTC One X or wait for the SGS3...all bring me wish the One X but the cpu.
SGS3 cpu tests are saying that SGS3 is more or less 20% faster then the HOX international version so I was wondering if maybe the cpu of HOX is more overclockable than that of the SGS3 or if anyway there is a way to bring the final performance of the 2 phone at a more or less the same level.
I would like an overall opinion so, for example, if the HOX is overclockable to increase the performance of a 20% BUT the SGS3 will be overclockable the same increasing the performance of a 20% too there will be anyway a lack of 20%
Shall I have some technical opinion on it (without creating fun boy flame or just "is more fashion" and so on...would like to speak only about the cpu)
Thanks
Max
Well take a look at the Transformer Prime ( tegra3 device )
Yep overclock till 1700 1800 Mhz is possible.
So to be sort and not so much technical Yes it can be done
Even if the one x can be overclocked to make up for the performance difference to a stock SGS3 it would require a higher voltage, which in return kills battery life even quicker. That, plus the difference in battery capacity in favor of the SGS3 =not a good idea.

You got Quad Core with 1.5Ghz why on earth you want to overclock again. You have enough speed to run almost anything on One X. SGS 3 chipset is different so you might see different in performance. There Meizu MX which beats SGS 3 in benchmarks. So this will never stop. New device will keep on coming with better speed, better power management. You can't keep up with it.
With a custom kernel you can overclock untill 999999999999999999

This goes in the question and answers section also, what does this have to do with developing, also why the heck would you want to overclock something that has more power than any other phone on the market right now?
You marked your post with a Q meaning it´s going to Q&A

Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm posting it on the wrong part of the forum, not sure if it's a General question or a Develop one.

To get a bigger (e-)penis ofc. But yeah, this should've been in Q&A. And yes, OC isn't really needed, but instead underclock and undervolt is something some of us want. And maybe turn of one or two of the cores, but maybe this doesn't save that much power?

Let's hope the phone gods grant us more battery life after underclocking/undervolting/disabling a core. And give us smooth performance while doing so

Well of course that ther ewill be always something more powerfull but SGS3 is almost real so...for more or less the same price why choose a less powerful device...even if you don't really need that power (but I quite doubt about it)
First of all, is your One X going to be an ATT phone? If so, the it has a dual core and not a quad...the quad core is the international version as it is not compatible with the LTE radio...in actuality, the Qualcomm Arm 7, s4 processor will usually out perform the quad core processor in the One XL...more does not mean faster...it would be rare to use all 4 processors at same time anyway...I plan to underfloor mine as 1.2 or so is fast enough without any lags on apps...and the HTC display is, by far, better than Samsung's super AMOLED display..sure it has high contrast but it's not as good...HTC also has beats audio and Samsung does not, unless HTC decides to license it to them, since HTC bought beats audio (51%) anyway...plus HTC is the original creator of android, not google...the first android was an HTC G1...Samsung should stick to TVs, where they do pretty well...but again, I am partial to HTC...and if u do get the galaxy 3, u will not be able to notice difference in speed unless u run benchmark tests, which are irrelevant in real world use of a phone...but it's personal preference...

Sadly I'm from UK so, in case, the HOX will be international Quadcore (AT&T seems faster from the test I saw).
Actually from some video I saw on youtube the interface of HOX seems to be laggy sometimes (like it takes time to scroll the homescreen and so on) and so I thought that a faster CPU would help.
I would like to bring to your attention this test http://www.mobileblog.it/post/20433...batte-tutta-la-concorrenza-nei-test-benchmark (sadly the page is in italian but the photo of the test are in english) and HOX int is ALWAYS so far away from GS3
I also eared that the cpu of GS3 has less nm (so it's smaller) and so, in theory, will be even more overcloackable.
Can you confirm this for me please?
Unless you're planning on using your phone to find the 500 billionth decimal of pi, or to find a cure for cancer, I think you're reading into it far too much.
Perhaps it IS a much faster phone in benchmarks, but that gives you no real idea in real world use. Try out a One X in a shop or something. Honestly, it's overkill power, I've never had a single lag on it, and I too was looking for the most powerful thing I could find.
Lets face it, a week after you get the most powerful phone, another one twice as good came out (My friend bought the SGS not long before I got my HOX and it was amazing when it came out), and at the end of the day, what are you -really- using your phone for that demands such power?
