This thread is for anybody to post the Quadrant scores they achieved using their Droid Bionic. As accounting for the future, please state if you applied any hacks or mods to alter your score. To qualify please post an accompanying screenshot.
Note: Also please keep in mind during comparison with other phones, this uses a qHD resolution for the GPU test therefore just alone with that it will naturally be slower than comparable WVGA resolution (800x480) phones like the Samsung Galaxy SII.

Quadrant is a not a good measure of anything really. Apps and custom roms can be made to insert pre set values. my old droid 1 according to quadrant is like 8x more powerful than a dx2 or bionic. Which of course it isn't.
Quadrant scores have little to no true accuracy for real performance.
aka, scores dont mean anything.

Not really. Neocore is a pretty good benchmark, but it's bias towards the Snapdragons with Adreno GPUs. Linpack is also not a good indicator of performance.
The best indicator? Real-world performance. Is it fast? Then it's fast. You don't really need numbers to tell you whether something is speedy or not.
Trolling cleared...stay on topic peeps or this thread will be swimming with ze fishes

Hey fellow gamers. With the recent updates to psx4droid game compatibility has improved quite a bit imo. There are also a few more tweaking options in the settings.
I was wondering if anyone here has played around with them to find the most compatible settings, primarily metal gear solid. Most other games I play work great without changing any settings. Also any tips you might have as far as best kernal/rom combo that works well for you. I'm currently on serendipity 2.0 with the speedmod kernal.
Thanks for any *constructive* comments!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I've been playing around with PSX4Droid for quite a while now, and I have to say that while compatiblity has improved drastically with V2, speed has gone down significantly.
I'm running the latest Cognition Froyo build right now, and while FFVII, FFIX, Xenogears and Diablo all run with no glitches, they run extremely poorly.
Thanks for the response, have you tried changing the precise cdrom or cycle multiplier to see if anything improves? Playing Resident Evil 3 right now myself and it does very well, possibly due to the pre rendered backgrounds... Just wishing metal gear wasn't so choppy.

You know what, I just installed the latest Serendipity build today with Glitterball's OC/UV kernel, and FFIX runs absolutely perfectly now. It's actually pretty surreal. This has been the first time where I haven't had a single glitch.
The game will start with some audio lag, but it clears after a few minutes of gameplay. I would try Metal Gear for you, but I don't have an ISO handy. I'll convert my copy to an ISO when I have time and give it a shot.
edit: Yeah, I gave MGS a shot and it has quite a few audio problems, but gameplay is fairly playable. A lot more audio issues than most games I've tried though.
Wow, this sounds great. I'd love to play Gran Turismo on my phone!
I've actually read that disabling the music can speed it up on older phones, had no effect for me though perhaps I will swap a few different kernals and see if there is a considerable difference.

Glitterball's kernel probably works so well for me just because it's an OC/UV kernel. My Captivate's processor runs at 1.2ghz with it on.
Oh I have done my fair share of flashing lol usually twice a week if new stuff keeps coming out.
Anybody else having success with roms and or kernals?

Yep the latest version is running very nicely indeed although even OCed teken 3 is not quite there yet....not that you can really play it with onscreen controls (damn you Samsung for this Bluetooth) but as a performance measure.

I think those would work on any capacitive touchscreen device, so long as the touch buttons on the emulator are the right size for the joystick.

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!
app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.
Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!
Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...

App works great for me, Netflix is much smoother now.
I'm always looking to find new, wonderful apps, so, out of all the apps on your Bionic (which you've added from the market, not stock), which would you miss the most if they were to suddenly disappear from the Android world, and why?
For me:
1) FBReader (as I love reading Ebooks, and the Bionic screen is good enough to make reading on it worthwhile)
2) JuiceDefender Ultimate (WiFi control and nearly 2x battery life improvement? Yes, please)
hmm

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
It's an absolutely terribly coded app. It's basically the web interface with terribly memory management issues. It's hit as high as 55MB of RAM usage on my phone. I recommend just making a bookmark to the mobile sit and using that through the browser. It's essentially the same experience until we can get a decent Facebook app
Also the notifications are a joke.

Yeah the Facebook App has always been extremely slow for me. Takes upwards of 30+ seconds to sometimes refresh news feeds or to change sections. I've opted to use the mobile site version instead now... and guess I'll give friend caster a try!

Facebook app is one SORRY A$$ excuse for an app...i really don't understand how they have that many people working and the updates just kept getting worse and worse...now it's just a huge battery hog and doesn't even do what it's supposed to properly...all those negative comments in the reviews and they just lie complacent as if nothing's going on....i swear it's a ruse by Zuckerberg showing favoritism to Apple probably...a-holes
Thanks for the TIP on the Friendcaster. that works very fast. now adding to my tablet as well.
One other tip I'd offer is looking into Tinfoil for Facebook. It's essentially just a cached, Sandbox'd version of the mobile site, but there's a dedicated app for it, and it does run fairly fast on my phone!
Friendcaster is lightyears faster and more efficient than the Official Facebook App.
The facebook app is utter crap. Way too slow!! Better off using the browser.

In my opinion the Facebook app has always sucked horribly. I have had it rated one star ever since I had my HTC G1. They have a lot to do to improve it and the dev support just seems to not be there, they are more into updating the iOS version assuming everyone is happy with the half ass android version.
