Does it really? We'll find out, as my G2 whooped the GTabs ass thoroughly in SmartBench 2010.
I just saw that someone just benched their viewsonic gtablet.. beating out the stock motorola xoom by quite a bit.
My 1996MHz G2 got 2093/1730 - but it was really variable.. 1.8GHz losing to 1.5GHz.. and so on. I suspect the usual pain in the ass shenannigans (also my biggest annoyance with Android) - apps do whatever the **** they please. Have an important process? No.. vvm or whatever needs to gobble some resources. Everything behaves as if the command 'ps' didn't exist. Does this environment even respect ionice and renice? It should.. but it probably doesn't..
Ok, I don't want to get off topic ranting about (which I would if I mentioned the ****ed up key mappings for usb keyboards - doh)..
Smartbench 2010 was a single-threaded app after all, so that second core in the tablet would not have been very useful.
Smartbench 2011 uses 4 symetrical cores for CPU tests, hence it will take advantage of up to 4 cores if they exist.
And you are right, with the multi-core support, the results are a bit less consistent simply because a lot is going on within your phone all the time. One of the reason I decided to collect massive number of results is to take average values. As you can see, more test results we have, more accurate the number becomes. I suspect this tablet number will become more accurate as more people run tests on it.
Oh, and currently, 2011 only returns the most popular 150 entries. This does mean at some point down the road (probably in few days), some device/configuration with only 1 run will not show. I need to figure out a better way to show all this data...
Are you the developer? If so, pretty damn cool!! Thanks for making this app.. I was wondering about whether or not multi-core was just only dual core.. but its good to know that its quad core.. I suppose this is best seen in the 4x mandrelbot..i kinda missed that one. Perhaps a good test would be tar cjf -- isn't that a pretty stable (results wise) benchmark.. The only problem is that you'd have to bundle the file to compress.. or perhaps download it afterwards.. I think that would be over-reaching the perms of the app tho.. My gtab is sometimes getting Android null as my version.. but its on par with the other gtabs.. which makes me a little angry.. heh.

Yes, I am the developer of smartbench.
Ive been experimenting on various algorithms for a while now, but many of them just aren't very consistent, especially when ran using 4 parallel threads. Gets worse when file IO is invoiced. And as you mentioned already, I'll have to include a file which will significantly increase the apk size which could be an issue for some people. I'll have to experiment further, thanks for the suggestion though.
Nice. Ran it on my Droid and my Gtablet...
Droid (800mhz) scored 655
Gtablet scored a 3081 (beating the Xoom at 2914)
For grins I ran it in the SDK emulator running a Honeycomb image...scored an awesome 65 ! LOL
It's not available from the Market to download to the GTablet. The web version of Market claims the app is incompatible with my GTablet. I can never figure out why things aren't compatible.
Perhaps it's because the permissions is checking phone state and GPS?
The SmartBench Donate is compatible though - lol.

Do you get any screen artifacts when you run Smartbench 2011 on your GTablet? (Is it based on Honeycomb?) I've received a report that this is the case with Motorola Xoom, although tests do run ok.
Thanks.

Yeah, I need to check for the phone state to prevent any cheat while the program is running. The GPS thing was the requirement for the ads - I actually don't use it.
And yes, the Donate is just a key, its a very simple app so I would be very surprised if it ever breaks on any devices.
It's not available in the market for the gtab. Can someone tell me where to get it?
Thanks.
I've got the donate app, I just can't get the other part unless I use my wife's phone. As I mentioned, Google market says it's incompatble with my GTablet for some reason.
Nah...vegan Rom based on froyo. Had to download it on my phone and transfer it to my tablet as it wouldn't show in the market on the gtablet.

Is it possible to truncate all post cm7_rc1 nightlies and group them together (per device)? Once the cm7 nightlies start back up you'll have a lot separate groups for each rom version/build.
Do you think the viewsonic scores lower in games because of its 512mb ram? Almost got beat by the G2 in that category.

Yes, I need to figure out a way to gracefully present all that data that is being amassed. I am currently looking for ways to group them together in some general ways so that it would work for most cases. I'll need to study the format of these ROM names a bit more before I can determine what I can do next...

I doubt that is the case. These graphics test aren't THAT memory hungry.
Having said that, the Games score isn't that low - still lower than other Tegra 2 based tablets but that G2 you are comparing with is probably heavily overclocked. I have a regular G2, and Smartbench 2011 was baselined on G2 - both Index scores are 1000.

Please give us feedback if you get the app. I hope he actually sends you an apk and doesn't take donations for some vaporware or a doom WAD for Quake 2, which I remember exists.

Unreal Tournament being ported to Linux is almost impossible because it uses the Unreal Game Engine, which is created by Epic Games and is NOT open source... I mean, you could get the code off some shady torrent site, but there's no possible legal way of porting Unreal Engine to anything other than Windows, Mac OS X, PSP, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, etc...
The Quake engine's source code was released, so it is possible to run Quake now on a PSP, iPhone, ANDROID, etc.
P.S.
If there was an HTC Android phone with a full keyboard, a VERY FAST CPU, a high-res display, 512 MB RAM and some really good GPU, we'd be running Quake 3 and going to WLAN parties by now

G1 with the latest CM rom. I'll try it with no sound and see if that helps.
Thanks.
How do you enable sound
How do you huys enable sound. I saw there was a setting toggle while you are in game and use the menu of the application - toggle sound and toggle onscreen controls and I toggle the sound but nothing happens. Do you have to restart the game to get sound to work? A pretty damn good port btw - I regret saying bad things about the dev...

UT is probably not the best example for a difficult linux port. "Porting" Unreal Tournament to Linux consists of installing it with the Linux installer provided by Epic themselves.

Well, I was 'till recently.
Seems only to be F/Cing for CM Donut users. I've been using XRom for a while, works perfectly (excellent port, no lag with sound disabled)
I've been playing with the GPU clocks and here's the result with the CPU running at 500MHz and the GPU at 200MHz (I think).
This is actually a better Neocore score than a Nexus One gets (though obviously it has a few more pixels to push).
I pushed the changes to the sourceforge copy of the kernel (ltg is broken) to allow messing with the clock. The best I could get is using 0xa99 in /sys/module/clock_7x00/parameters/gpu which I think is 800MHz/4. (bits 3..6 are the divider-1).
Who knows how stable it will be at this speed.
Neat. It's fascinating that there are people still looking to improve our Vogues to their maximum potential when they are becoming seriously outdated...
looks like an update for rogue tools in needed
I searched and cant find where I would download this via SourceForge.
That's amazing. Overclocking the GPU makes me feel like it's a PC.
Nice work dzo!!
I'll implement this into Rogue Tools ASAP.
great i guess ill hang in for a rogue tools update...

These devices aren't as outdated as some would think. Newer phones have slightly more ram, higher res screen, and that all important accelerometer. Being able to overclock our devices, takes away the CPU advantage these devices have.
The new iPhone 4 (that was announced yesterday) is amazing. It has a front camera that's for FaceTime Video Chat! OMG, my Kaiser clearly doesn't have that. Oh wait! I has a camera in the front of my phone and I can in fact use video chat. Yea, it doesn't work in Android but it does in WM, and it's not limited to Wifi connection only.
The more I look at newer phones, the more homogeneous they seem. The only reason to upgrade your phone is if it's free, or cause your phone broke.

A coworker in my office got the Evo. I played around with it, and it is a very nice phone. I actually just sold my Touch Pro 2 for a Vogue because I wanted something smaller, and most of all I wanted to step into Android without breaking the bank (still in contract )!
The Vogue is quite the device! Sure, it's not as fancy as many of today's phones, but it's small, light, and it seems to be infinitely hackable. I have a special place in my heart for it.
Dzo you never fail to amaze me. I still mess with my vogue running 2.1 a couple times a week. I mostly have it for my two sons who are 3 and 7. I disabled the ril and keep some games music and kids games on there for them since it doesn't have service. That damn thing lasted over 2 weeks in standby with out being on a charger. I wish my hero could do that. And 36fps in neocore. I could barely touch that with the hero over-clocked to 761mhz.
On a side note. Anyone ever try the wifi/sdcard thing? Or if it's even possible to piggyback a usb wifi stick on to this? This would greatly extend usability of this device for me at least since I use it as more of a pda.

I doubt the wifi stick idea would work. From what I've read, the Vogue's hardware doesn't support USB Host. I've also read that the wifi sdcard thing also didn't work due to lack of driver support.
I think our only way of getting wifi on this thing is to just solder in our own wifi chip.

The hardware does support usb host and I have the documentation for it but somebody would have to write a driver.
I have a few questions.
#1 How's the battery life overclocking the GPU? Is it the same or worse?
#2 Can anyone get Kwaak3 running so we can get some benchmarks going? I can only get that working on Polys 2.1g, and that was months ago.
So I took a look through a few Samsung Vibrant demos and apparently the Vibrant gets its own version of the Sims 3. The one that comes preloaded on the Vibrant is nothing like the one currently on the Android Market and it looks amazing. You can see a demo of the Sims 3 for the Vibrant here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9xUdHUMCIQ
Now would there be a way we can get it onto our phones? I've tried just pulling the apk from the Vibrant dump, courtesy of Wes, but after I install it and open it I get a message saying "There is a problem parsing the package". I don't really understand it all, but I'm guessing we can't actually play the game because our device isn't the Vibrant. So how hard would it be to try and get it to work on our phones?
Im not sure either i did the same exact thing. Try Signing it or pushing it though adb XD idk it probly has something to do inside the apk maybe the screen size plays a roll in this?
pretty sure that things got the humming bird 1g in it and weve only got a 600 mhz. im pretty sure this game wont work on our phones because of the difference in proccesors
edit: it may also be for android 2.2 not 2.1
Fyi The vibrant is running 2.1

the evo is just as powerful as the galaxy 2. the reason everything is black is because the textures are missing.
Same thing happens in sims 3 on the PC.
and thats whats so confusing about this because wes said that sims 3 was included, but theres no sims3 apk big enough to be the actual game. so as far as i can tell, the game is NOT in the dump.

Actually, that was the Desire vs Vibrant, but close enough lol.
I think the problem is that the game engine, etc. are in the dump but the actual files needed to play (textures, etc.) come on the SD card.

Wouldn't the screen resolution be a problem as I'm sure that the vibrant has a 4.something screen and the slide sits at 3 and some change. I would also like this version of The Sims as opposed to the crappy version that has been on the market.
Here's your proof buddy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfOla7wjdjk
How did you get it to install and work? Whatever version i've been finding installed but stayed on a black screen.
I had the same problem at first, the only way I could get it to work is to put the 3 Files in Titanium backup and restoring them from there.
I've done all the market hacks and tried all the tricks but im wondering why most of the actual 3d games i want to get to show off the muscle that this great little tegra 2 tablet can flex.
it seems like the games i want on here right now "pocket legend" and "rocket bunnies" don't show up in the market and I was looking forward to "dungeon defenders"
I think there needs to be a big push of actually finding a way to get the full market that my Nexus One gets...
This is mostly why i bought the tablet, and thanks to all the great devs here we've been able to get "almost" everything working (Thanks roebeet, et all)
maybe we can make a nice thread with some different market fingerprints and post market results? (or any other suggestions)
I am currently running the latest Vegantab beta4 fyi.

Well, as the guy who has tried all the market fingerprints and build.prop stuff and wrote the thread on the "full" market fix, I can tell you with some confidence that Pocket Legends and some of the other 3d games are a known issue - I have tried changing every build.prop setting to match that of my Nexus One (which finds those apps with no problem), and there are still a handful of 3d games that will not show up. I have also found that if you change too many of the settings in build.prop, you will eventually bootloop your G Tablet because Android itself gets confused about what it's running on.
You can find my notes on the subject in my posts on my thread in this forum on Full Market Fix.
In summary - the issue seems to be more than just using a different Market Fingerprint. That does not solve the problem, though it may make a few addition or a few less items show up. Right now, by most of my metrics, we have at least 95% of the items in Market showing up.
BTW, I have seen posts stating that the work around for Pocket Legends has been to download directly from their site, though I have not done so myself.
My understanding is that the CyanogenMod ROM for G Tablet does not require the Maket Fix and has no issues with missing items in Market because of the way the ROM image is built. I think the person to ask about this is bekriebel who built CyanogenMod for G Tablet - he can explain the concept of release-keys better than I can and how Market supports it out of the box on the CM ROM.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of my time availability right now to work much more on this, having already spent a day or more figuring out what I figured out. But please keep me in the loop if you figure anything else out!
I just thought it would be good to have a good constructive conversation about why else it might not be working... so the build.prop isnt the thing then.
its sad that 3d games are not showing up when this device was built for 3d gaming!
Pocket legends shows up on mine. got it installed...lemme try the other one..
EDIT: Strange they arent showing up anymore. when i was on Cyanogen 6.1 i Had them showing up. then again I didnt have the new market that looks like xbox live. strange...

this is what I'm refering to its so spotty. there is this great drawing app that i purchased that id love to use on the tab called "sketchbook mobile" but its not showing up for me either.
I know there have been lots of people working on it but it would be great if we could somehow compare market search results on some of them to find the best?
also if cyanogenmod has more working downloads is there anyway that the market from cyanogenmod can be rolled into Vegantab?
Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.

Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.

Agreed, DD plays perfectly on the gtab. Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come once Honeycomb is in place and developers start making apps with tablets in mind.
Hi friends, I saw this and knew it would be of interest here. This is a Youtube video of Quadrant being run on a DROID Bionic. It ends up scoring a 2284, which is right in line with what the geniuses here are getting out of thier amazing ROMs and kernels (from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all your work - all of you - there's too many too name). That 2284 is nothing compared to those 3100+ scores being achieved by that data2loop hack (which I haven't tried myself yet). All this without overclocking yet!? Man, these Tegra 2 devices are just animals!!! I am so glad mine is 100% unlocked (I don't believe this feature is listed on the XOOM ;-) ). Here's the video:
EDIT: The system would not let me post a link because I apparantly haven't posted enough posts yet. My apologies. At any rate, the video can currently be found on Androidandme dot com's home page.

The hardware is great but the software is crap.
Motoblur is the worst skin ever. I played around with my friend's Droid X and it lagged like crazy even though it was not supposed to and with moto's locked boot loader policy, I have to pass this phone up.
I'm afraid I agree with you 100%. However, with a Tegra 2, Motoblur shouldn't lag the device. That said though, Motorola should just not plague thier products with it, period. Keep a little faith though, there's still a chance that the bootloader is unlocked on the Bionic. If it is, I'm definitely picking one up.

There has been an official announcement that the Bionic will be 100% open source and made for devs. Bootloader will be unlocked.

I call complete and utter bull. If it would have been any Moto phone, it would have been the Atrix. Verizon would never allow an open device on their network. Also, the Android blogs would've been all over it. Not cool man, my heart lept a bit before I had a chance to think.

I call BS unless you produce a link!
There has been an official announcement that the bootloader has been locked and that if you try tampering with it, the device will enter self destruct mode and blow up with the force of a small nuclear explosion because moto hates you so bad that they not only want to take out you, but anyone within a 5 mile radius of you that might have been influenced by your decision to mess with the allmighty blur!!! Look, I can do that too.

Remember Cyanogen and many other roms do a filesystem hack to artificially boost your scores. An unreleased phone scoring 2284 without any hacks that fake the score is pretty awesome.
I find it pretty silly people are willing to run hacks like the data2loop or filesystem hack with no real-world performance increase except in certain instances like running a synthetic benchmark.
Unless you know for a fact that your flavor of rom isn't hacked (version 5.1 of the Vegan tab rom on the gtablet I'm pretty sure is not), then it's pretty pointless to compare your scores to an unmodified device.

Yup. Very similar to the Tegra2 SoC except it runs an inferior GPU.

Tegra2 3D isn't available yet to my knowledge, definitely not ready for a Q1 or Q2 release on a device.

Yikes! Sorry, my info. was from an article I read at the time CES was occurring. Apparantly the article was misinformed.

Just for the record, I DID NOT and HAVE NOT run the data2loop or filesystem hacks (nor am I running CM). You did read my original post, yes? Also, for the record, my quadrant score comes in at 2400 - 2500 (and it IS completely relevant to compare that score to the Bionic's).

Yeah, I would also like to see a source link on the bionic being unlocked... I think I would die of joy...
And verizon has the droid 1 which has a unlocked bootloader and is full of love...
