My benchmark results LOWER than a Evo 2.2? WTF

A couple of week ago I did a benchmark test, it came back 944, well below an Evo 2.2. A couple of days ago I rooted my phone, still on stock SENSE rom and I ran the test again, these are my results,

How the hell is this possible? Lol. I'm below a Evo 2.2 yet, my Evo is on 2.2. Can someone explain?

Does your phone perform fine otherwise?
Benchmarks are for the kids but it does seem a little low

The benchmarks don't mean anything, just gloating. If you overclock it you'll get better scores.

I hate benchmarks I think they are inaccurate, plus evos react different with every different rom you flash. If my evo is not sluggish then its fast. Maybe its time to try another rom. Find one that has all or most of the bloat ware taken out they seem to be faster.
Good luck.

Like stated earlier, those scores really don't mean much. If it bugs you, and you want to see a higher score, make sure a bunch of stuff is not running in the background before you run the quadrant test.

Use osmonitor or seepu+ from the market to see if anything is using your cpu, you probably have an app that is hogging it. It's possible that's a sign of malware too since the exploit they use will eat up your resources.

I posted about this a few days ago and got similar answers. I can't make mine go higher than 1150 (using Koni's Elite Series II, MS79723's SBC #15 v7 kernel. Did it on a fresh restart).
I have no idea what they're basing these tests on, but it sure as hell isn't our Evos lol.
Fear not though. Our UI runs on CPU and not on the GPU, so unless you play video games your benchmark actually doesn't matter at all. One thing the Evo is known for apart from other, newer phones is we're still running the Adreno 200 GPU while others have newer chip sets.
If you want faster scores here's some tips:
Get SetCPU and overclock your processor
Use xHausx's suggestion about checking to make sure your processor isn't being used.
Get an AOSP rom (like MIUI, CM6 or CM7). Without Sense, the phone runs faster and it'll show.
Get a kernel that performs better. Best bet is Netarchy for Sense. I don't know the kernels from AOSP.
I'm sure there's a few speed hacks/scripts/mods you can find too, but unless your Evo is actually the Evo 3D and not our Evo, then your benchmarks are gonna come up short.

As long as it feels fast to you I wouldn't worry about it.

my benchmark is lower, but my phone is still super smooth and you wouldnt tell the difference from scrolling or using an app. opening an app takes a lil longer
@245mhz

My phone lags, especially playing games. I'm also using Launcher Pro Plus, does that have anything to do with it? How can I get rid of this Sprint bloatware?

titanium backup will uninstall bloatware, our you can flash a custom rom with no bloatware included

What performance did you expect running a gps on 1 bar?
top kill

My non overlocked EVO running Tiamat 3.1.3 and CM7 hits around 1400 in quadrant. I'm happy with that.

Need help, not an epic 4g person

i am a droid incredible person, already rooted and currently running cm7.
brother wants me to root his epic 4g.
he is looking for a stable rom and a battery saving kernel with all the same performance.
what are some that i can use?
thanks for your help.

inb4 "wrong section"

I'm rather amazed that you are clearly not a total noob since you have at least managed to flash CM but still posted a question in development...
Anyway, you would be best to wait a couple days for Roms and kernels based on the latest release (EC05), but if you have to flash something now I'd suggest Syndicate ROM

I'm running midnight rom, and its been giving me great performance and stability, much more so than syndicate. Over clocked to 1200, and have 66% battery life left with minimal use, 14 hours running.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Syndicate is awesome it was my daily but when I switched to ec05 I had issues and tried VIPERom synergy which is an eb13 rom. It runs flawless with the ec05 modem. I'm not sure if the issue with syndicate rom was the rom since it is eb13 and not ec05 or something I did wrong in the process but VIPERrom(also eb13 but again, runs great on ec05) has been awesome so far. Not a huge fan of the orange but daily performance is amazing.
Next time might try the general thread.

I'm running bonsai 3.01. Battery life is great no major issues at all. Here is a couple of screens of battery life
The battery was at 5% when these were takin. Only warning about bonsai would be not to let your battery die because of the no journaling mod. Their kernel also is clocked to 1.2 so performance is great as well.

Thumbs up on that one. I have the same problem except that I have a HeroC and the g/f has the Epic. Compared to the manhours I've spent in the Hero, this looks like chinese to me lol. I don't quite follow everyone with the Rom jargon (Eb13, Ec05) and what the hell is journaling and does she really need it? CM7?? I certainly know what that is lol. My Evo comes in tuesday and that'll take me about 5 minutes to get going...the Epic I'm not so sure on.

Most people new to the forums don't take the time to understand posting rules. The dev section always takes the biggest hit.
bonsai viper and acs roms are very good.

Amidoinitrite???
I only say that cause there have been quite a few identical threads recently, identical to this, that are very easy to find. Also, that pic gave me teh lulz! Couldn't help it.
On a serious note though, all the roms seem to be pretty damn good in there own ways. I was on cm7 for a while and it was very stable for me. Just flashed cleanGB and samurai kernel the other day, and not only has it been rock solid, but my battery life has been outstanding! As always, though, YMMV. Try em all and see what you like best. Enjoy!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Hang out for a while. Read the threads on what the numerous roms contain. Find out what works for some and not for others. Some are geared for battery life, but you lose something in the process.
Try a few of them out. Look for qbking77's youtube tutorials on how to root/flash/theme/etc. Dont like a rom? Switch! It really is that easy.
Its like buying a new car. What would you like? There is no 'best', but rather what fits you.
Last but not least, when you ask a question, remember that there are some really smart people out here that rightfully just sit back and shake their heads at questions that are easily answered on your own with a little bit of searching.

SFR 1.2.
you can try a couple good kernels with it too. I used genocide.
Sent from my... Epic

Most are ROM's are stable, battery life well. I can kill my battery in 3-4 hrs of streaming music from network via bluetooth to a speaker... other wise I can go all day just about. Even with undervolting I only get marginally better battery life in general.
Some apps/widgets are just battery/cpu/gpu/memory/storage etc hogs. If you use your phone your battery will drain. That is a guaranty... usage = less battery
Like others have said your mileage may vary and usually does.

i prefer genocide too

I wish people would stop asking these kind of questions...even more I wish people would stop answering them. Just ignore them and maybe they will actually read the ROM threads like they are supposed to before flashing!
EVERY PHONE IS DIFFERENT!!! What is good for someone elses phone may be bad for yours. Flash and figure it out. Thank you and have a nice day!

Which Rom Offers the Best Battery Life on Jellybean?

I know im going to get flamed on this for making 'another better rom for battery thread' but ive been away for two weeks and i see some new roms are out for jellybean, i am currently rocking AndroidMe Cm10 rom, but would like to try a different rom for better batterylife. (its not the best as is ..) i know you guys are going to say every device varies but chances are what most people are getting better battery life on so will mine... so what would you guys reccomend? i really dont want to revert to TeamGummy 4.0.4 (ICS) but if i cant find a better batterylife

well, a better battery life is mostly up 2 the kernel, screen brightness, wireless and network usage, other settings r just familiar of most roms.
though ice has a better battery life than jb, i think
the GUMMY doos have a good battery life 'cause it's using the imoseyon kernel:good:

Noooooo!!

Not trying to flame you but you answered your own question in the OP. Every device varies along with the way each person uses it. I don't have any technical expertise to fall back on when choosing a ROM so it's mostly a trial-and-error process. Flashing a different ROM or kernel is fairly simple, so just experiment and see which one gives you what you are looking for. I rarely, if ever, got the same performance that other users reported when I had my Evo. And lastly, read what other people are saying about a particular combination. XDA has no shortage of people willing to try out new things and let the rest of the community know how it worked. The last 3 pages of a thread are usually the best place to look and see what kind of success/failure rate is happening.

well, in the 2 weeks that you were gone, there have been amazing breakthroughs in development! The battery now lasts almost 2 weeks with on avg 17hrs of screen on time!
*sigh* just look at the kernel threads and youll see, its not like there's 70+ kernels

Stock.

[Q] any good way to increase battery life

hello:
my evo 4g battery lasts less than one day.
I googled but didn't find any good suggestions.
if I flash a custom rom to remove all bloatware, does it help?
thanks a lot.

I would also like to know this.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

This should be in the Q&A, I Belive but to answer this question, a lot of things affect battery, first a old battery of course won't last you so long. Second are you running a custom Rom? And overclocking it with like CPU tuner or simmliar.
Are you running your brightness high,is your 4g on all the time, are you using music or social media a lot, playing games and so on.
That being said, moat customs roms can improve battery life to a degree, aswell as the kernel you use and what setting you are running it at, for instance I m running my custom Rom with underworld v8 no halvs sbc kernel
And my governer Set with ondemand at 769 max or something like that, I don't run 4g when I have WiFi, and my screen brightness is set low unless I need it brighter I will change it, I also have a lot of tweeks in my build prop, which a lot of other devs do aswell to help with battery life.
There is a nice section in these forums that explain governers you should read it, you will learn a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663809
I get about 2 days with normal use on my setup.
Hope this helps.

Also its always good to wipe battery stats when flashing new roms, also discharge battery fully and then charge it fully.

Custom roms usually have better battery life. On average I get the best life out of the sense 3.5 roms with the aggressive lionfish kernel but the kernel does not support ext4. Sense 3.5 also needs sd-ext partition to run and when changing kernels you must manually mount the data partition before you flash the kernel.

The stock battery doesn't last very long, I'd suggest getting an extended life battery if you plan on keeping your EVO for a while.

I use my evo for music now,I thought I lost it for 2 weeks, this is airplane mode ,running cm9

Underclock, dim brightness, install a lean ROM and take off services you don't need I.g. 4G or 3g.
Other than that. Extended batteries are the way to go.
