Alright, before I OCed my phone, and before Chainfire, or AntonX's kernel, I took the test. I think I remember my score being around 2400. If I'm not mistaken, the lower the score the better? Or is it the higher, the better?
Anyways, I'm now OCed at 1.3, running VB Final, Anton's kernel.. and my score is only around 1800. The way the chart shows, the higher the number, the better. How can I get better scores? What is an ideal score for performance?
Also, I've notice a sizeable drop in the FPS during the test, from what it used to get to. The test breaks down as such:
Total: 1808
CPU 1366
Mem 1739
I/O 3720
2D 309
3D 1904
I wish I could remember the details of the last test, for comparison.
Run the test four times in a row. Then let us know what the numbers are. And higher is better
Running tests now, but wanted to go ahead and mention that for some reason today, my phone has been unlocking into the camera.
Ok, Score:
Total: 1845
CPU: 1389
Mem: 1796
I/O: 3955
2D: 175
3D: 1910
If it helps, some additional information:
After flashing my ROM, my phone would reboot once a day. Always while I was asleep. It wasn't really a bother, but after researching the forum a while, I found a fix: Go into CWM, Fix permission, wipe partition cache, wipe Dalvik chache. This worked. This was before OCing
Like previously stated, I'm on VB Final, with boostershot. I'm using AntonX's 1.1rc2 kernel. I have Chainfire 3D, with all three plugins installed. I'm OCed with SetCPU @ Max 1300 / Min 200
Quick Note, fixed phone unlocking into cam. Stupid me
Alright, I've been seeing some crazy high scores, like 2800 and 3400. Are my current ones where they should be? I'm using the app Quadrant Standard.
Are there any tweaks or anything, that could go with my ROM to get my score up? I have Booster Shot already for VB.
How does your phone feel with your day to day usage? Is it lagging? The reason I ask is because benchmark test are not always accurate, hence why your scores fluctuate so much... If you search benchmarking a Android device you'll understand what I mean.
So you can have really high quadrant scores but your phone can be laggy when you open apps, play games, surf the web, take pictures or anything else you may do with your phone.
Good luck

Yes, I've read the debates and facts in threads regarding the tests. I'm aiming to get slightly better performance. I know people can play intesive games on these devices with literally NO LAGGING, or stuttering. Like GTA 3, or Let's Golf 3. I'm trying to get there. So far, I'm WAY closer than when I started out as just plain rooted. It's playable now, but still stutters and lags more than it should.
what's your governor, i/o scheduler and scaling?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
My governer is Smartassv2.
I don't know what you mean by i/o, but on the governer settings it says:
io is busy 1
powersave bias 0
ignore nice load 0
up threshold 45
sampling rate 32500
There's no scaling option, you just set min and max, which i have at 200/1300
My governer says ondemand, even though i have it set to smartassv2. It said smartassv2 before i rebooted earlier.

When I was running VB Final with booster I would run a min of 2400. Using ondemand as govener I also use app called sd card speed increase. This is pretty consistent with all roms I run.

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?

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.

I have a question about this kernel, i have it installed on the phone and flashed on it, it said in the post from nemesis2all that there was a Battery hack, i was curious how to use it, i currently have settings at Min=400 max=1300 all settings undervolted 50mV, how good are these settings? and would this be the optimal settings for performance and battery life? or anyone have a better setup that would help. seem to be getting high 1700 quadrant scores with how it is now.
In order to get the best battery life you would not want your phone over clocked, I run otb kernel as well and just uv the stock setting starting at 50 for the 1000, and progressively stepping down to negative 100. Anyways I run, 1000 -50, 800 and 600 -75, 400 200 & 100 at -100 and I have great battery life even with heavy usage and playing memory intensive games, paradise island, drag racing, pocket soccer. Unless your phone is laggy after you enable lagfix I think overclocking is probably just killing your battery faster the only roms I used light oc' ing for was phoenix and miuiwiz, where both launchers seemed to get some lag after a long days use
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The other school of thought on battery life is, if you overclock the processor, it will finish the task faster and return to a lower power idle state sooner.
well also i used SuperOneClick to root the phone, is rageagainstthecage a good root to use? or are there better ones out there? also sometimes this kernel like to freeze at start up and i have to re flash it. im pretty sure this isnt supposed to happen. any help or advise is greatly appreciated
I've had issues with OTB kernals before. Your problem could be the kernel, but I see you oc'd it to 1300. That too could be causing it. Each phone reacts differently to kernels and oc/uv.

Are we able to still use any touchwiz kernal from ec10 on the new heintz 57 ee19 updated rom?
Well I re-flashed it and used same ovetclock just lower volts and am pulling a average 2100 quadrant score. Don't know if it means much but no lock ups anymore
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
This could just be my stupidity, but if you can flash kernels then you have a custom recovery, right? What's the point of using super one click? Wouldn't having the recovery and the ability to change kernels, etc mean your already rooted? Just seems redundant, I never used a rooting app and still use all the root only apps....

Kinda. The only way to flash a kernel is with a custom recovery but you don't necessarily have to be rooted to do that. EE19 is not rooted so that's why you need SOC if you want to root. Rooting opens up a lot of options for apps and moving and copying system files but isn't required for Roms/Kernels.
Anyone have any other general good ideas or cool tricks to do to this phone?

Currently, im doing a bit of testing with the new phoenix 1.1 rom.
This baby can handle some crazy undervolting.
Currently:
1000 : -100
800 : - 100
600: -100
400: -100
200: -150
Going to see what i can get this down to...a bit more tweaking i bet the battery life can get phenomenal.
Try opening and closing the camera a few times in a row and see if it freezes. Or try a quad test, those are usually the things that will cause issues with too much under volting.

Already ahead of you. Up to:

400: -150
200: -175
Usually ill run 4 quadrant tests and if it passes that it should be stable. Currently ran a 2187 is that a good score for 1.4ghz?

also when using the OTB kernal what are safe settings to use? ive been running it at 1400Mhz but it lockes up and geeps giving me force close things on start up and never stops and i have to reflash to stock and start over? im assuming this isnt typical, can any one help out?
Actually that's probably pretty typical for an OC that high. I know I can't run it that high without lockups. From what I see in the original thread, most people don't run above 1300 most of the time.
I'm having an issue with my phone not being responsive if I set the CPU to 400Mhz. I first found this problem using Juice Defender then I uninstalled that and did it under SetCPU and it still did the same thing. The phone pretty much doesn't wake up after a while. I have to do a reboot in order for it to work again.
Don't get mad at me but IMHO overclocking and messing with a phones core features (what makes it run, processor, ram, etc.) is unsafe and can cause instability. And no I have no scientific research to back this up but it's just my two cents.

Lol I'm not mad. I don't really like to over clock. I just figured under clocking would work better. But nooooo lol

It does that under 800 mhz I forget why but I've read that in a couple places
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
underclocking that much is using less than 1/3rd of your true processor power.
your processor simply is not able to draw enough power to perform its background tasks - even when the phone is idle - when you underclock to such an extreme extent. therefore, it freezes trying to complete these processes.
if you're going to underclock, i'd say that 800 MHz is the lowest you can go if you are expecting your phone to do everything it is supposed to do. although it isn't going to save you THAT much battery life anyway, so you might as well just run it at the stock setting of 1200 MHz.

There's a known issue with setting CPU profiles to less than 800 MHz. A fix exists but some kernels don't have it.
Many of our Gingerbread kernels fix it, Infusion-GB is one of the few that hasn't pulled in the fix yet. (Although version 1.1 may have pulled it in, haven't checked github lately.)
None of the Froyo kernels have an explicit fix, but I'm not sure if the flaw even applies to our Froyo kernels as the clocking architecture is VERY different.
Hi, Rogers stock 2.3.3
It's using up 60% battery over night. Most likely I should turn off Wi-Fi.
I have underclocked to 100, 200, and 400 and it's stable --- minus the delay/lag at 100 and 200 . Sorry to seem like a troll.
I find that by default this phone either runs at 100mhz or 1200 on average, and 200 400 800 under 10%

Bumping from 100 to 1200 is classic ondemand governor behavior.
Also, some people never had problems even without netarchy's sleep patch running the CPU capped to 400 - but others have. I don't think anyone has had a problem with a patched kernel.
Hi Guys I have a Galaxy S 4G I have noticed that max stable overlclock is 1.508Ghz If I bump up to 1.516Ghz It is stable but at watching videos for a long time it crashes, I have noticed that the normal max temp is below 60 C or 55 C, that's stress testing for long time, normal everyday is 41~43 or, I Think It can go higher but I t would need 1500mV or 1600mV core Voltage also to achieve 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 even 2.0Ghz It takes 1600mV or 1800mV, temps would be 45~47 normal, and above 60~65 on stress testing. But tegrak doesn't support these volatges, It would need to tweak the code. With proper cooling temps can go down to 33 or 30, lets say using the phone in a cool room.
Do you know when are they gonna support higher core voltages(Tegrak OC)?
Do you really need to oc that high?

At 1.5 is goood but for proper PC like performance it would be a bit higher.
2.0ghz would beat samsung sgs2
I know anything higher than 2.0Ghz the phone would suffer, I don't know if the main board can support 2.5Ghz or 3.0Ghz. The battery doesn't handle that much power not even 3500mah battery
Mine runs stable and quite cool @ 1.62 and I get 4128 quad score, but I have no need to oc the phone with all the tweaks.

I really don't see the need for oc other than for playing a REALLY graphical intensive game. For me, I get a better performance boost from the tweaks incorporated into roms than oc. I tried running a 1.5 for a week and I honestly didn't even notice a difference other than less battery life.

Well I notice a difference but anything above 2.0 GHz it is nearly impposible, even if it is gotten above that it would not match new dual and quad Core CPU because they have a different architecture but the battery is the first thing that you notice but the things that I do on the phone require much more processing power than stock. Well the highest is 1.6ish that I think the phone has been able to handle. But definitely overclocking the phone will get you up to speed work new games coming out

Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.
Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!

Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.
