Trying to speed up phone - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a mytouch 3g running CM6 and I have compcache on hit on and vm size is 24mb dithering is off. I have nothing on my home screen and I get a benchmark score of 3.6 MFLOPS. CPU is overclocked at 576 MHz with setcpu.
Any ways to help speed it up. I can't go the swapfile route cuz I have a class 2 card.

CM6.... A1 or A2?
A1 was a turd.
A2 is wickedly fast.
Be sure to enable compcache and disable dithering in Settings --> CM --> Performance.

On rc2 and its worse now and I keep running out of memory like 3. Mbs available.
Already have compcache on and dithering off

lbcoder, do you recommend JIT?

Only to those who understand both its benefits and drawbacks.

Recently had a wifi problem that made my phone stuck in a boot loop. Had to downgrade back to cm 5.0.8, it's waaay faster and idk why.

I read compcache is killing RC2. Through personal experience, this may actually be. Or it could be my phone. For some reason, my myTouch HATES Froyo ROMs. 100% SLOW. I can wipe and reflash a few times and it seems to catch hold, but it would die after a while as in my phone would get to homescreen and freeze. All times compcache has been enabled. But, as I said, my myTouch does just hate Froyo.

The mytouch can probably handle froyo, just needs tweaking or a better overclock. I wish I could find a working kernel to OC PAST 578. Just barely more would be enough

3.6 MFLOPS is a good score, I'd be happy with that. If you want it to run better, buy a new phone.

It showed that score but was always running like a snail.

I've got a G1, and top at about 2.5MFLOPS, maybe 3-4 with JIT on. Our phones just weren't made for the full power of android, sadly.

Sluggish games on hero

Anyone else have issues running games on their hero? Even being oced homerun battle 3d runs terrible and even doodlejump is a bit laggy.

What rom? Did you enable a live wall paper fix?
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
always sad cause emus ran like crap on my hero but i'm pretty excited to test them out with OC.
as for OP do you run a mem management app like Auto Memory Management?
I do use an auto memory manager and I am currently using the newest CM6 rom by darch. I am OCed to 710mhz and I cannot find a way to get homerun battle 3d to run well. It never ran well with my stock alltel rom and it runs nearly as bad now with my CM6 2.2 OCed rom. Any ideas? I don't use a live wallpaper or anything
All games run perfect fine on mine.... OC to 768 on CM6T4
Do you use setcpu with cm6 or oc widget or do you just let the rom handle it?

[Q] Performance help!

Sorry If this seems like a Newb type of question.. But is 26.3 fps a good benchmark score?
I'm Running...
android version 2.2
baseband version 2.42.01.04.27
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmodameer darchstar #9
mod version cyanogenmod-6.0.0-heroc-rc1
build number frf91
Is there a way to utilize my hero better?
If I understand it correctly, a lot of these "tests" are subjective and not really an exact measuring stick. I've seen as high as 32.2fps on my hero running PapaSmurf's Blue ROM. I have seen as low as 13fps on an unrooted 2.1 sprint stock ROM. So 26 is very good.
However I consistently get higher MFLOPS with CM6 and Froyo. But it isn't as simple as just saying "I have more MFLOPS so my phone is faster than yours".
Thanks for the info! What are mflops? Also are there any tips to speed up the phone?
I just used linpack and out said my mflops was 2.221?

MFLOPs are "Mega-FLoating Point Operations Per Second" - basically a measure of processing speed.
This is what I got the second time

Enable JIT, it will more than double. (this does not always translate to a "faster" phone)

You can install as many app as your hero can hold and still not slow your phone down. But if your installing apps that update in the background that is set for short intervals, than yes it will slow down your phone. Just be sure the apps you download that update in background can be set to longer update intervals. For example, if your using a gmail widget that updates your e-mail every 15-30 min, slows it down. Hope this helps you.

The only Widgets I'm running on my phone are google search, SetCPU, Sense Analog Small Clock. I also set up the phone so that I only have 3 screens instead of 5, 6, 7. I'm not too sure if that will make it faster.. I'm just more of a minimalist.

What are your JPU Quadrant scores?

When i first flashed the rom i got 1200 repeatedly.
Rebooted installed a few ups, updated some and now i just about hit 1100.
yeah i was getting 1250 when i first got it
after about 150 apps including fonts and live wallpapers
i get 1180-1160
Just a reminder that quadrant actually says very little about the performance of your device..
I'm getting 1400 to almost 1600. But I'm also using darky's rom so I don't know if you want to count that or not
1200 with no lagfix, 1500 with voodoo. phone is running sweet at the moment, much better than when it was scoring 2300 on jp7. Have been running it alternating lagfix on and off, cant notice any real difference

Whats the maximum ever anyone got ? I saw the dhd is getting 3000 how reliable is this?

Quadrant scores should only really be treated as a bit of fun, a mate of mine with the hd oc his and got 2932, but the phone was unstable and actually ran slower at that speed then it did stock. As I said earlier my phone scores a consistent 1200 without a lagfix and it is definitely running the best it ever has. I had it overclocked to 1.2 before with oclf and it was scoring 2300-2400, the phone seemed fast but not as smooth and stable as what it does now with jpu installed

Fresh from the eris to the og droid

I'm running cm7 rc1, I've tried some ultra low, low, and medium voltage kernels from both cor and chevy but haven't found a custom kernal that will run stable. I've also tried the supercharger script, underclocking with setcpu, and using autokiller, but I can not, no matter what I try, keep my phone out of a low memory state and battery life that will last me longer than 5 and if I'm really lucky 8 hours. I'm not using any widgets, I keep wifi, 3g, and gps off most of the time, and have 1/3 of the apps I had on my eris loaded on the phone, all on the sd card. I've tried to recal the batt. but I think the process must be diff for the driod and haven't found a decent guide. Could anyone point me to a decent guied, good tools for saving batt life, and possibly a cashe to cashe script or simular for the droid? I would really appreciate it, thanks so much in advance.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Well, if anyone else has the same issue, I fixed my issues by partitioning my SD card with a swap partition and utilizing swapper 2 to use it. I turned off compucashe, and used the setting in autokiller to speed up r/w speeds on the SD card. I also set autokiller to optimal. I found Chevy's lv .125-.900 works well, I uninstalled setcpu, and set my Max speed @ .600, my min. @ .125 and I'm using the ondemand, scheduler because smartass and interactive seemed to be laggy. the phone runs snappy but battery life still leaves much to be desired, still experimenting with it.

Question: CPU O/C to 800MHz...isn't that risky, the hardware O/C at 768MHz gets unstable, so how will battery/stability be affected by such a high clock speed...also anyone know how hot it runs at 800MHz?
can you add savagedzen governor?

I was thinking the same thing.
My phone crashes at 768MHz
Also, could you possibly enable undervolting?
(Can the Wildfire even BE undervolted?)

I thought about this, depending on your device (some have more kick than others) you might be able to get this high, I did this because I have seen phones with 1GHz processors overclocked to 2GHz.
If you are stable at 768, you could try higher, but it is your choice.

You will have to use a lower frequency then, I can't go any higher than 691MHz without crashes, but some people are fine on 768.
I am not sure about undervolting though.
I'm running stable at 710MHz, didn't try anything between 710 and 768 tho.
thanks for savagedzen.... it work?
for freq stay on 710, max 728 and phone doesn't crash.

Savagezen works, using it now.
Next version will have up to 768MHz but with more intervals

Yeah likewise, I am stable and very few if any system FCs at 728 MHz...so theoretically you can add near 80% more CPU speed with the right governor? Haha wishful thinking I know but imagine the Wildfire at 810+ :]

Yeah, I am going to put the CPU max speed back down to 768, and add some more governors.
I think 800MHz is a bit crazy, 768 is good.
Does anyone know how to do an update.zip? I have an idea to make a script that fetches the kernel and wifi module, then shoves it in a zip with an updater script and binary.
Currently looking at CM7 updater script in the zip to try and learn how to do these things.

With the right CPU governor, you should be okay at 768, maybe you could have 778?
To make things clear, at 768 MHz wildfire doesn't crash at any app except games, when you play for 2 or more hours it simply reboots. At 748 MHz it behaves the same. It's fully stable at 729 MHz, so 800 MHz it's unreal

Is that just from your experience or have you actually tested every single wildfire ever produced, I have 2 wildfires and both run perfectly fine and stable at 768, would also probably run just as well above this and have never rebooted on me after playing games continuously for a lot more than 2hours.
And just to make things clear some people cannot use the phone at 729 as it unstable and freezes.
