[Q] Linpack scores and the Wildfire

I've had my Wildfire since a few days before the UK release (a lucky call to T-Mo one morning!) and generally I quite like it.
However, I can't break 1.5 MFLOPS on Linpack, no matter what I try.
I normally run WildPuzzleROM 7.3.1, on a stock kernel. This gets me at best, 1.3. So I tried a few different flavours of Froyo; WildPuzzle, Cyanogen and Openfire. At each point, I've tried the stock kernel as cooked with the ROM, and also HCDR.Jacob's kernel. I've installed SetCPU each time, trying it on performance and standard, even with both the sliders pushed right up. I've done the tests before installing any other apps I use, and without any installs, downloads, etc, going in the background.
And despite all of this, I cannot break 1.5.
Am I expecting too much from the Wildfire? Or is there something wrong with my device on a hardware level?
Any help would be appreciated.

hmm there might be somthing wrong as i get around 4.7-5.099 on openfire

Its low because you're on stock with no overclock or jit

As before, I AM using a non-stock ROM, and have tried a few different non-stock kernels, including pre-overclocked and ones overclocked using SetCPU.

When I used Wildpuzzle ROM v.8.0.11 with non OC Kernel(did not boot), I had round about 1,9 MFLOPS. Now with Openfire v. 2.2 on 710MHz I get results between 4,5 and 4,7 MFLOPs. I'm using no system tools or something. Maybe slow sd card?! I'm using samsung 2gb which was preinstalled when I bought my wf.

I managed a 3.65 @ 768MHz yesterday on CM6.1. I was getting about 2.1 on Wildpuzzle 8.0.8 but without any OC kernel.
I just ran another test on CM6.1 with JIT turned on and got 3.48 @ 768MHz. Is there any way to boost this further?
I'm still really impressed and awestruck at how much better the phone is with these mods. It's like a got a whole new model now

That's probably it. I've only got 3-4 apps installed and just did a complete wipe of the sd-card.
And another thing, do you have your phone overclocked to 768 constantly or does it change depending on system load? Becouse I do usually have my phone set to overclock when needed, but I set the clock speed to always stay at 768 before I run the banchmark to be sure the cpu runs at maximum speed.

I am using cm [email protected] 768hmz and getting 5.16 with jit on...
And with jit off, i get 3.3 maximum @ 768hmz

I'm using OpenFire 2.3 and just gut 2.2 MFLOPS on linpack, i suppose not so good. I wonder what is JIT and how can i be sure if it is on or off.
It says it's on by default on openfire but i wanna be sure coz 2.2 score is pretty low. How can i check that?
Sorry for the dumb question coz i'm new to android.

JIT is,(without getting all technical on you), the new compiler in Froyo that makes thing go faster.
But I don't know how to check if it's enabled in openfire, I used openfire a while back but cant remember seeing anything about JIT in the settings. It might be so that it is always enabled and you can't disable it.

you need to install setcpu and get the cpu speed higher to get higher scores

I search application Linapack.apk beacause she is not find the market on wildfire .
Please a URL for download apk .
Thank you , sorry for english because i m french .

I get about 3.1 with CM 6.1 + JIT, non-overclocked, HCDR 4.1 Kernel

I got around 5.08 MFLOPS (@768 & JIT on) with danne_jo's new custom rom based on 2.1 eclair

there you go

to know if JIT is enabled type in ADB or in Terminal
adb:
:adb shell
:dalvikvm -h
you should see below "with JIT"
terminal
:su
dalvikvm -h
you should see below "with JIT"
If its disbaled you should see "fast"

2708+ kernel and donut?

is it possible to run a donut rom like superD 1.11 with a 2708+ kernel? has anyone done this? which kernel did you use --- pershoots? ezterrys?
thanks guys
---nevermind, answered. gonna try installing ezterry's original *crosses fingers*

Good luck but it works so u dont need luck

okay, so im using pershoots latest kernel with superD 1.11
two issues:
1. camera does not work. i expected as much using a kernel that was built to be run with froyo. but is there any way to fix this?
2. awful battery consumption. after unplugging my phone this morning, the phone ate up about 20% of the battery in less than 15 minutes. I am not overclocking at all, and I have setcpu running with conservative profiles enabled.
im gonna try ezterry's kernel and see if it helps with these issues.
anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Ehh even with the 2708 kernel etc battery should last longer look at ur battery is it flat? or a little bulge?

Try flashing the kernel from this post over SuperD. It basically gives the camera app more space, so that it works. As a result, you will have a little less RAM, but the camera should work, as it is designed to be used on pre-froyo ROMs.

I have a question: do you also have awful video performance on every donut rom, when you have 2708 radio? Every donut I flash is extremely fast, but its 3d speed is similar to rom with ramhack. Is there any solution? I used pershoots and ezterrys kernel, but it didn't work

If you are trying to get the new radio to work with older roms and experience camera issues: I've a slightly reduced ram version of the kernel that allows camera the full 8MB.

This will work on CM4/5 however the install is not as trivial as just flashing some potential problems you may need to solve:
* Different path to the modules (move to correct place or add a symlink)
* old version of rzscontrol giving typewriter errors (pull the binary in recent cm builds and replace)
* modules not loaded by default that are needed (edit an init.d script)
Once these actions are made your rom will likely work as expected. I provide this file to help you port your older roms to the newer radio; not as a quick patch that will make everything work on its own. (For that I make things like the new CM5 2708 port where I manually cleanup the system in the updater.zip)

[SCRIPT] Juwes Ram optimization

Hi, i found this on xda, so i didnt make it... Juwe did... all thanks goes to him.
This script will make your RAM in the best optimization, the best optimization means the best balance between free memory, multitask, speed of launching apps and system speed.
I personaly tested it... the results were great. It made my rom faster, smoother and the battery lasted longer. So try it... the file is attached... use CWM to flash it.

kernel
And what about the kernel. In original thread they say: works just with kernel which supports bla bla..... . It is safe I hope.

Hmmm ... interesting ... i try

i you have doubts... backup.

after i flash it..
it become like a original rom(lost all my apps,themes..)
i use CM 7
=====FIXED====
Need to reboot again lol

I test on CyanogenMod7 Nightly Build. It's work!

is the difference so big? is it really that fast?

You can also see the change if you go to 'running services'... there is much more free ram then before. There is a difference, and it isnt small....

ok, i will try it

The original thread says "...that supports init.d", and to check you can download that app and check for these values:
LMK values
10MB, 16MB, 24MB, 48MB, 56MB, 72MB
VM values
50, 10, 5, 10, 90, 5
what are the LMK and VM values? I want to know for sure this works on mine before flashing it (running CM 7.0.2 and I do have an init.d folder in system/etc/ )

you can use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to check the LMK values but i dont know how to check vm,i searched for that two

I installed that one (the galaxy one did not work on the wildfire ) but what value is the LMK? What are the abbreviations LMK and VM? I first thought VM was virtual machine but the value is not expressed in MB so...

Works a treat for me. Thanks a lot

So you just download this (scan qr code) and then flash it under clockworkmod as a normal rom?

yes, just like that

cm method dont work for me i need to copy it then change permissions to work,but ist not a bigy

you lose all data and programs?

[Q] Alien Revolution 2.1 RAM & wifi

Hey all,
Recently I tried out the latest Alien Revolutions and I noticed the RAM is 421mb total. Obviously I'm a noob but I'm assuming that the SWAP script is making the RAM so high, is that right? I did type in "free -m" in the terminal and it came up as Swap: 0...
So is it swap? zram? ram hack? Or just an amazing ROM?
Hei1125 says "RAM optimizations" in the change log.
The wifi doesn't work, but when you flash the kernel hei1125 suggests, it does work fine, but the total ram goes back down to the usual, near 350mb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Sam

There is a kernel hack which gives back certain amount of memory back to the system (but sometimes at the expense of some things not working). So I think this could be the effect of the kernel memory hack.
Which kernel have you flashed? I believe that originally the AR rom contained vadonka's HOC_OTF_48.

kernel hack
Thanks for getting back to me. I asked the maker of the ROM and he said the same thing as you, a kernel hack. I'll do some research into what that is exactly.
You mentioned that the kernel uses less ram for the OS, does that mean that the ROM will have the same processor efficiency as other kernels without the ram hack? Does ram hack use more battery is what I'm trying to ask.
I'm not sure which kernel it was, I flashed the swiftextreme 48 2011 2011 kernel, it keeps the memory at 420mb total, although this has done nothing for my available ram, it's still at 195mb.
Thanks again

How to speed up jelly bean performance?

Hi there, I have question how you guys speed up your jelly bean performance on ace?
Maybe u will tell something new for me
For example I:
* Use memory managment - zRam to max, allow purging of assets ON, kernel samepage merging ON
* Limit background processes to 2-3 (in dev options, unfortunately after every reboot that needs re-apply)
* After reboot I try to force stop every non-system app, whats running
(using task manager to see whats running)
* Using only one widget

And at this moment my task killer shows 140mb free on CM10.1 (bieltv.3, RC2 release)

Maybe you should flash Adrenaline Engine and install Seeder + Greenfy to keep ram usage to low level. The first two things I mentioned works very well on stock GB and make the phone really fast. Also you can use CAREFULLY Pimp my rom to apply mods to speed up more the rom. Be aware that you can't do that much because the phone is very not powerful and the rom is not optimized at 100% so above some level of smoothness you can't go. P.S. You can also use a swap partition or the kernel patcher Memod+Swapall.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

Pushing free mem into 50 or 75MB, smartassV2 or smartassH3 + sio, Greenify, replacing Launcher2 with the launcher from XperiaZ.

For swap I use Swapper 2 from Google Play.

Is it best of kind? and how good is performance?

I am sorry. I did not see your post.
Do you mean Swapper 2?
It is just an interface. You need a kernel which supports swap (like the one of the Cm 10.1 builds or erikcas' AOKP ROM). The performance depends on the kernel. The app just invokes busybox commands.
There are few apps that manage swap. If you want a simple one for swap files, use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper
If you want it to have more features and/or support a swap partition (which is faster and better as it is mounted even if the phone is connected to a PC). The biggest advantage besides that is its feature to clean the swap partition when it gets full. If the app does not (like the first one), it will be lagging like hell.
So I recommend Swapper 2. :good:
However, make sure that you have a class 10 SD card. Other classes will slow down the phone. And the life of the card will be decreased due to the many read and write actions.

You can transform you rom on a Bareboned Rom to make it as fast as possible, e.i. deleting all useless apps!! instead of using apps to freeze others as Greenify, TB, AndroidTaskers... that of course is runnig in background, so the best way to stop all background processes is removing the app that produce these processes xDDD

Yes, probably one of the best methods. However, you will have to do that again for every new release.
