Hello all,
I currently have a captivate, rooted, with lagfix, and the 1.2ghz OC kernel installed. I'm the 3rd device listed under the Linpack scores by device (capoirrier) however when looking at the scores today i noticed a device pulling about 5 mflops higher on the 1ghz kernel. Just curious as to if anybody knew of a new custom rom that could produce those scores at 1ghz? Just always interested in tweaking every little bit of performance out of my device in any way possible. Anyway, if anybody could shed some light on what it could be I would be very appreciative.
Could be s galaxy s with gimped froyo on it.
Stats to the right tho shows device with 2.1 on it

Hi Ppl,
I got the official froyo release for Galaxy S India yesterday. Good Good... But wait, is it worth it? I don't know..
Before I upgraded to froyo I had applied the lag fix on 2.1 and the quadrant score showed somewhere at 1700-1800 which is good. Quadrant score on stock showed around 800-900.
Quadrant score on 2.2 stock now shows 925-950. This really pissed me off. I ran another test which is linpack and I got 13 Mflops. I do not understand what's wrong with the froyo update. I read somewhere that 2.2 is not compatible with humming bird processor. Per my understanding 2.2 upgrade should boost the CPU to the next level and the performance should be really good than 2.1.
I was comparing dell streak with galaxy s. I know if I should or not but I just wanted to look at the scores on both. Dell says Streak has a 1 GHz processor and so do Galaxy S. But the linpack score on streak showed 30 Mflops which is way better than Galaxy S which is at 13 Mflops. I really do not understand what the problem here is.
Is there no difference b/w 2.1 and 2.2 on Galaxy S? If yes, 2.2 is a joke I would say.
I am concerned because I still found issues with the froyo update. Its still laggy. I didnt notice much difference b/w 2.1 and 2.2 really
Can anyone help me out with this please?
Thanks,
Ravi
I wouldn't worry too much about quadrant scores, but if your phone is lagging then you probably need to reapply a lag fix. Did you update via Kies? I updated mine a while ago using odin (never had much joy with Kies) and my phone seemed pretty good without a lag fix, I did do a factory reset though before installing. Mines now running spikey's oc rom and oclf and is scoring around 2300 on quadrant, but more importantly the phone is ultra responsive with zero lag
Do a factory reset and reapply a lagfix, you'll get 1600ish quadrant scores again.

Thanks for the reply, guys. I had read somewhere that the score would be 1600-1800 on stock froyo? Is that not right? Do I still need to apply a lag fix?
And yes. I updated using Kies. I did a factory reset of the phone before and after I update froyo.
Which lag fix do u suggest? Voodoo or OCLF? I guess OCLF uses EXT2 and Voodoo uses EXT4 which is a bit faster than the former right?
who cares about the score, it is all BS
what matter most, is how smooth it runs for you, and when you switch from app to app, and have stuff multitasking in the background

That FACT should be sticky on this forum.
ok.. I am facing a new problem now. I do not know if this is the right thread or not.
After the froyo official update I noticed I could download apps from the market except for the installation process. Some apps get stuck after a complete download and never gets installed
IS there a fix for this?
Hi all.
I was running 2.1 Eclair just a few hours ago and was getting constant scores of 2.2K+ on Quadrant with the OCLF. I'm now running a rooted 2.2 Froyo with the same OCLF and scoring 1846. I can barely see a loss of performance... Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks in advance.
Because Quadrant is a SYNTHETIC BENCHMARK! It only tests a single specific workload
I was also under the impression that OCLF didn't work on Froyo unless you first ran the Z4 app and then the OCLF. I also agree though that Quadrant isn't that useful. The best test is whether you're happy with the speed of the phone. I'd be happy with it if it responds to my touch without a pause of a second or more.
Quadrant means nothing really, anyone can get 1k in there and outperform a 2.6k score.
Hello,
I've seached as much as i can and i guess as a rookie i am still having a hard time understanding all of the benifits of overclocking other than speed. I am basically Autonootered 1.01, would it do me any good? If so which Kernel should i go with or is this for the more advanced?
Do you know what overclocking is? If not read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
After reading that you still don't understand how OCing will benefit you, and the dangers of it, I don't know what else to say.
As of 24 hours ago I purchased a nook color rooted it, applied the 1.1 update zip, and overclocked the nook Using the 1.1 ghz kernel honestly I haven't notice any speed increases because I did everything straight out the box but quadrant scores are very high

There are no other benefits of overclocking other than speed. That's the purpose of overclocking. Stability and battery life is usually the trade off. With the kernels from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451 I would say the risk of instability is very low. Especially since there are different levels of overclocking with those kernels. As for battery life, it doesn't feel like my battery is draining any quicker but I haven't compared my run time before and after overclocking.
I have had my NC since just after Xmas and I can tell you by my own experience that things were noticeably quicker when I went from an Autonootered 1.0.1 stock (800 MHz) to 1.1 GHz overclock. Before I overclocked I had been running stock for at 2-3 weeks. I mostly noticed the speed increase loading eBooks and websites (using Dolphin HD).
Personally, I would just go and try the 1.1 GHz kernel (kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip) within the link above. There a lot of people running on that kernel, including myself, that I don't hesitate recommending it. However, I would download all the kernels so you have them all handy just in case so you can flash to another kernel, such as stock, if for some bizarre reason you can't boot or have stability problems with the 1.1 GHz overclock.

As I stated I wasnt sure of any other benifits, other than speed with overclocking. But I do understand what it is. The majority of the threads i found that people were discussing it were either Froyo or more advanced than autonootered. Just trying to do my homework.
Thanks for the help guys.
Ok so i flash theses beautiful roms and now ive tried some testing and currently on my captivate i ran the "linpack for andoid" app and it states:
MFLOPS: 13.982
time: 6.0
Norm Res:5.68
Precision: Inaccurate result
ok so i looked at the top 10 section ounder my phone and their MFLOPS is between 20-50 MFLOPS...So do i need some tweaking?..I mean the phone is good , Rom is awesome...any thoughts?

I wouldn't worry about it. First, your test said inaccurate results, so try running it a few times, though you probably won't get much more out of it. Secondly, most people believe these benchmarks are a load of BS, and I would trends to agree. If the ROM feels snappier and works smoother than stock for you, there really isn't any use in the benchmark scores. I'm running Serendipity 5.11 with the same kernel as you, and I find my scores are in the low 14's- which, as is for you, seems slow compared to the online results. However, my phone supposedly blows the other results out of the water in the Quadrant Standard benchmark, regularly achieving scores over 1500, and I imagine yours would perform similarly, so no, I wouldn't worry at all.
Overall, most of the roms on here achieve faster performance along with better battery life compared to a stock cappy. I suggest trying out as many roms as possible to find the one that fits you best, as everybody has different tastes, and each rom behaves differently for everybody.
Personally, I think Serendipity is something you should try, as it looks friggen sweet as is, and even better IMO with some tweaks. I changed the battery indicator to the android dude, the font to Armani, and use launcher pro over the base rom. Altogether, my phone is super slick and snappy. Oh yeah, it also accesses HSPA networks, so downloads are way quicker than stock (pretty sure your current rom does too).

that's about right, repeated tests should get you 14+. it does say inacurate so i dont think you have a problem, just a process running somewhere. the hummingbird lacks a bit in this area and snapdragons excel only in this area. i know it is weird that the nexus one and droid incredible smoke this phone in linpack but it is hardly a thorough benchmark. run quadrant on CM7 when it comes out and see what the hardware is really doing without the samsung influence. despite the low mflops you will see good scores across the board.
Thanks alot for the input everyone...jus curious how gen-pop was adding up... but who cares about the numbers i suppose when my phone is soo [email protected]## cool hahha

Just for the record, I'm on stock Froyo, With no SpeedMod, but with voodoo lagfix and I got better benchmark, linpack and quadrant scores than I did with a custom rom and Speedmod kernel before. Add to that the stability of a native ROM and kernel, and I think you know what I am saying here...

Hei guys,
is there any possibility to overclock my SGS under my rooted XXJPY (2.2.1) Firmware with Voodoo 5.5 Kernel?
Im trying to get all out of my phone but I dont want to flah any custom roms.
Actually I tried SetCPU but I can not change the maximum CPU frequency.
Thanks
My understanding is SetCPU doesn't work overly well for SGS models.

I've heard that this works quite well. However I big have privacy concerns over its requested permissions personally.
Thank you. Tegrak Overclock wokrs very well with my phone. I got stable 1.25Ghz. Amazing
Any chances to get more than 1800 scores in Quadrant benchmark?
Sure, it's easy to do. On some of the older, lagfixes it was pretty common. In reality Quadrant is a poor measure of actual performance and despite some rediculously high scores (I seem to remember 3000 or more being common enough, at least well into the 2000s), their real life usability was significantly less than current solutions.
So how to do it exactly?
