Your MT4G performance, and benchmarks.

Thought I would start a thread, where people can see how their MT4G stacks up against others. People can post their benchmarks and say what ROM they are running, where they have their processor clocked, etc....
Anyways, I attached my screens, I am running cm7... the benchmark test I just ran, was clocked at like 1.4GHz on cm7.
The quadrant is back when I was running an alpha, clocked at 1.2GHz

Best Quadrant Score seen so far: Unknown(Looks like CM7)
Best LinPack: Iced Glacier v1.1.6 OC at 1.7ghz
Best SmartBench: Cm7, OC at 1.3ghz

I don't have a pic but one time a month a go I was on miui and got 62 on linpack and 2900 on quadrant I was overclocked to 1.8ghz and managed to get a couple off before the phone froze up. You can see me on the high scores list on linpack website its Joe from bremerton

Yea I see...haha nice. Too bad it was freezing up

Ya I knew it wasn't gonna be stable just wanted to see if I could crack the top 10

Mine is just a regular factory MT4G. No root, no OC no hacks of any kind.
Still waiting to see someone else on stock/factory meet or beat this

Impressive with factory MT4G. I get 1700-1800.

Most of these bench mark tools have not been updated to cm7 or 2.3 GB. Quadrant does not run well at all and some times show a black screen on 3D test, or locks up. Linpack seems to be working though.
Just FYI if you are using cm7 Android 2.3

Yea, but I thought benchmark 2011 or whatever the name is, was accepted as a more accurate marker..?
EDIT: SmartBench 2010 is what app I am talking about.

test was run at 1.6 and i stuck it in the freezer while running the test...

My phone is a taiwan version, with a good screen.
do you run quadrant back to back to get 1700-1800?
you should always toss the 1st one, as the processor isn't running at full speed ( at least i don't think so) because all tests after the initial one are always higher.
but the 2060 was my 2nd test after installing the app.
and too, that was like the only app i had installed at the time.

Hahah

Go to ROM manager and download OC

It's not there anymore.

Yea I wonder why iit was pulled. Worked great for me...

Thankfully, if it was already downloaded, it's still in your clockworkmod/ folder. Rejoice, those who have already downloaded it.

Direct download link is in that thread.

been running it at 1.4 since last night and loving every minute of it. runs greats, not one problem..

Interesting. I'm not seeing much of a difference. Quadrant scores went from 1611 on adryn's 1.8 kernel to 1789 on the 1.5ghz. Seems very low for both. Wonder what's giving me issues...
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I get 2200+ on quadrant at 1.5ghz.. and 2700+ at 1.8ghz using Drod's kernels..
Can't wait to try his 1.9+ kernels soon

This is absolute insanity, I can't believe this but I was running this kernel to the max (1.5ghz) and the performance was insane. 2200 - 2500 quadrant scores (even one 2532). Well, drained my battery to 15% after about 3 hrs using "ondemand" scaling. So I flashed adrenelyn's 1.9, phone ran perfectly smoothly but I wasn't happy anymore with kernel scores in the 17's and 18's. So I reflashed drod's kernel and have been running at 1209 mhz (2064, 2216, 2092 quads.), phone is still super responsive and it is now 2 in the morning, I have been running it since roughly2pm and I have 37% battery left 12 hrs. later (ondemand). I have been using the crap out of this phone: 2.5 hrs. phone calls, 1.5 web time, texts all day, followed twitter, did some theme changes. I found my go to kernel for now.

Tried the 1.8 but SetCpu widget kept reporting 1.8 even after I slowed it down. Going into the app I could tell it was follow my settings. Went back to 1.5. Temp to high for me even though stable. I might try conservative setting if widget reports right.

You have to disable the Perflock disabler in SetCPU options and you can downclock it

where is this 1.8ghz kernel?

If the 1.8 is the same as the 1.5 you don't need to disable Perflock. It has already been been disabled.
Edit: I just read in drod2169 Twitter that in order to lower the clock speed on the 1.8 you do need to disable the Perflock...sorry.

1.6 oc stable!!!

WARNING: I AM NO RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU HAVE CAUSED YOUR PHONE!!!
OC CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR THE CPU, EVERYONE KNOWS THIS AND IF YOU DONT YOU DO NOW
Ok some people will find this useful and some might not care for it, but i wanted to post this to help those who like to OC there android or in this case the SGS4G.
NEW DIRECTIONS:
what you'll need:
any sgs4g rom that supports drhonks bali 3.0 or higher
bali 3.0 or higher
IM NOT POSITIVE but you possibly need ext4 on ALL partitions
tegrak ultimate
im pretty sure drhonks kernel is what made the OC stable at higher frequencies so definitely thank him for that
its simple after you have the rom and bali 3.0 or 3.1 installed the phone will be stable at a higher frequency
so far the highest frequency ive been to is 1620 and it was very stable with the voltages at 1400 and 1200
OLD DIRECTIONS:What you will need:
fugu Tweaks which can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125)
DRHONKS UV KERNEL
TEGRAK OC PAID VERSION!!!
NO SETCPU OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM LIKE IT, TEGRAK COMES WITH SCALING OPTION!!!
ok so now that you have what you need its time to push that puppy up a notch!!!
Make sure you the fugu tweaks are installed and working.
then go into Tegrak OC and use the following options for a 1.5 OC:
go into optimization option and edit CPU level 0 ONLY!!!(unless you dont have DRHONKS UV KERNEL you can change all the other levels by -25 core voltage)
Assuming you have the kernel go into CPU LEVEL 0 and change the 1000 to 1504 or 1500 it doesnt matter,
after that has been changed, change your core voltage to 1400 and your internal voltage to 1175. Last thing you need to do is make sure you scaling option in tegrak is set to conservative with 200 as your lowest frequency not 100 or else it might crash while in sleep mode.
THATS IT!!!
if you want to OC but not so high try optimizing things step by step and see what frequencies are best with what voltages.
1.4 OC settings are as followed
level 0 1000 to 1400, core voltage is 1325 and internal is 1150
1.3 OC settings are as followed
Level 0 1000 to 1300, core voltage is 1300 and internal 1125
1.2 OC settings are as followed
level 0 1000 to 1200, core voltage 1225 internal 1100
(also to improve smoothness even more try adding spare parts and blade buddy)
hope this helps!!
THANKS TO:
TEGRAK for his amazing app
NIKADEMUS for FUGU tweak
DRHONK for his amazingness in general and making the fugu tweaks known also for his kernel!
Chadster: i think you posted something on fugu tweaks as well lol

I only went to 1.5 for the test. I've been at 1.4 for about 2 weeks. 1325/1150 and the rest core voltages underclocked by 25 except 100mhz I use setcpu for profile options and have it set to throttle down to 400/200 when screen is off. I also am using chainfire 3D.
I get 20 plus hours heavy usage.

When i first got the phone and there wasnt much development on it and I OC it, the phone would get all the way to 50C
Now with the tweaks, mods, kernel even when i run my phone on heavy use playing the game Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus it doesnt even get to 50C on the 1.5 OC
the battery life takes a SLIGHT TOLL
i still average 20 to 30 hours on my phone with 1.5 and no charge, that is also with a pretty heavy use:
on xda, twitter, facebook, email, internet, texts, games and this is non stop all day soooooo even with the OC
ALL I SEE ARE ADVANTAGES

How the heck do you get 20-30 hours heavy usage with it overclocked? I have mine with bali kernel UV not overclocked and I get maybe 10-15 hours moderate to heavy use

I would have to agree that battery life has drastically improved due to the Bali kernel. So my next question would be is it worth it to OC versus loss of battery life or is the loss so slight that its worth sacrificing for better performance? I do have to say its pretty smooth already.

Over 1.2GHz = Lock

Hello everyone. I have had my Nexus S 4G for about 2 weeks now, and I have tried everything I can think of. However, I cannot overclock my phone higher than 1.2GHz. If I set it to 1.44GHz (or even 1.3GHz in most kernels), within the first five minutes, it locks up, requiring a battery pull. I have tried just about every kernel. Trinity, Netarchy, Matr1x, everything. However, I get the same result. I am assuming that it is just my phone. I know that when I had my Evo, it didn't want to OC past 1.1 GHz stably, but the refurb I got from Sprint ran at 1.21 GHz like a champ. I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue, and if so, if it was possible to alleviate this problem. I would love to run my Nexus at 1.44 GHz, because some of the Quadrant scores look amazing.
Thanks again for reading,
StompySan

After running Quadrant twice with it set at 1.3, I got a lockup. 100% not responsive. Had to pull battery.
EDIT: I tried benchmarking my phone with CF-Bench, thinking maybe it could have been a fluke with Quadrant, and had the exact same results. At 1.3 and 1.46GHz.

Ok if neither of those work I need you to do 2 things.

2. Set it to 1.2 ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I can overclock without reboots to 1.2. Any higher than that is when the problem arises.

Ok now once you flash v9.0, go into setcpu and raise all voltages by 30

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

OK, so Quadrant ran fine for 5 tests, and CF-Bench ran OK as well. Should I push it up to 1.46 now?

Try it, and if you get a reboot, raise voltage for 1.46 by 10.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No lockups yet! I have ran Quadrant 5 times, CF-Bench 2 times, and Linpack a couple times. Seems to be doing great! I am going to test it more thoroughly tomorrow (it's almost 1AM where I live, lol), but it seems great right now!
I have never increased the voltages on a phone CPU before. I have done it on my brother's computer when I overclocked his processor, but I generally try to avoid it. I am just really paranoid to mess with the amount of power going through the processor. That's why I turned to the professionals in this case. Thanks again for your extremely quick reply.

Cool! you just needed a bit of a voltage push, that's all
let's hope 1.46 ghz runs well

Mathkid Ive never been stable past 1.3 so I followed what you told him to do and what do you know! Perfectly stable so far at 1.44 on apocalypse kernel!! Might have to try your 9.0 at 1.46 soon!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

So is there a limit to how far one should overvolt? I upped the voltage at 1440 mhz to 1550 mV. Did run rather stable except for "Lets golf HD!" which froze. I would really like to be able to run at 1440, but not sure what to do. Im using Apocalypse Talon 3.2.1.
Do you think your kernel would handle OCing better, mathkid?

Yeah you can try it out and if you need to raise voltages go ahead

Lousy Quadrant Score on CNA 1.5.5

Hey guys
I just installed Codename Android 1.5.5 + Matr1x Kernel 18.0 after using CM9 nightly 0304 + Matr1x Kernel 17.5 for a while. I used to run CNA 1.4 but stopped using that as it got very slow after a few hours.
The Quadrant score I was getting on CM9+Matr1x 17.5 was around 2000 with no overclock. Now that I am running CNA 1.5.5 + Matr1x 18.0 i'm only getting a score around 1100...
The ROM feels fine and snappy, but this low score worries me. Is this normal or does this maybe mean there's a problem somewhere?
Thanks!

I'm on same rom same kernel and overclocked to 1430 and only getting 1400s

Ok, so I guess this is normal...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

I am running 1.5.5, with Air Kernel 3.6, scary governor and overclocked to 1400, I scored around 2600 with this set up on Quadrant.
I tested the rom after flashing it and it scored it at 1100.
Oh I applied the BM tweaks from CNA utility as well
I am waiting to see how the ram holds up, 1.40 would drain after a few hours, as how the battery lasts, so far it is looking good on both of those items.
I haven't tried to many roms, I liked this one as son as I loaded it, loads all my apps from the market, seems very stable even with it overclocked.
I have read that Gingerbread is really stable and fast but I don't want to loose my native music.flac support on this rom. I have read that 4.04 and 4.05 will have better battery, I am hoping so, as I don't want to go backward to Gingerbread unless I have to.

I applied brain masters tweaks and went from around 1100 to 1800 with no overclock and the rom feels much better now. Now I'll just have to see about battery life but I'm a happy man at the moment

You are absolutely right. I use the benchmark simply to measure how the rom is before I get a good feel for it. In this case it feels much better after the tweaks.

FULL ACK...!

I'm still using 1.4.0 with Air Kernel 3.6 and the supercharger script. I have insanely good performance though battery life has taken a hit over the last few days.
I would like to install BM's tweaks though I'm not sure which version goes with this particular ROM.

If you want higher Quadrant scores try the Trinity T144 kernels. But Quadrant Standard says nothing about the performance of the ROM.. it's just a score.

Yeah, quadrant score isn't everything. The ROM feels fine now but I'm getting the occational freeze requiring a battery pull. I've been running with no overclock but at the moment am running 100/1300 Lulzactive with no issues so far.
Battery life is not good though. I'm at about 50% after 7 hours on battery with light usage
