[Q] What is an average quadrant score? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please forgive me if this s somewhere else, but the search function is down I think.
I feel like my brand new evo is pretty laggy compared to what Ive seen. I have rooted and am running the newest stock kernel.
Ive tried Mik's rom and Myn's rom, they both net me an average score of 1100 on quadrant.
Am I way below where I should be? Seems like my menus are much "jerkier" than what Ive seen around.
Also, if anyone knows, what does wipe SD-EXT in recovery do?

I would agree that 1100 is average, but you could make your phone so much faster. Download Spare parts from the market and set you transitions and windows animations too fast. This should increase your quadrant score, thought it may take two test to show a boost. Also how long gave you had your evo on its current rom. The evo is like a person, it needs time to adapt to its kernel. So when you flash a rom, be patient and give your phone a couple day (3 or 4) to get used to the kernel. Then if performance and/or battery is bad, you can pm and i can recommend the kernel i use as well as others. With my current set up, which is Myn's RLS 5 and net 4.3 cfs, but don't worry just sit on your current set up. Good luck

Thanks, I just flashed Myn's RLS 5 a few hours ago and I have been flashing like every day since I rooted. Ill give it a few days and see what happens. My girlfriend jsut got an EVO slide and I guess I just have envy since it seems so much snappier straight out of the box.
Not to mention my battery seems to die in a matter of a couple hours and hers has gone down only 30% in the last 16 hours.

I recommend just leaving it on the same kernel for the weekend. Also do you use sense as in the clock and different widgets. Because i removed sense from my phone and get about 19 hours on a single charge with regular use.

Yeah I do use sense. Not sure if Im ready to give it up yet though ><

1100 seems like an average score for an relatively "stock" rooted Evo with a custom rom. I've had my quadrant score range from 1100 to 1300 from just a custom rom. Flashing different kernels with net you different scores also. With just netarchy's 4.1.9 no havs, Fresh 3.5, no overclock netted me a score ranging from 1300-1400. Overclocking to 1.2 ghz got to 1450-1650. I'm sure I can tweak some more to squeeze more performance out of my Evo. But usually I keep my phone at stock speed with Fresh rom and I'm satisfied with its performance.

Okay because my bro has the same set up as me but gets about 4 hours less battery, because sense sucks battery life.

can anyone tell me if my numbers seem off i get about 1200-1300 quadrant and 32-33 on linpack with stock kernel and myns rls5...

I use MIUI and average around 1600-1700 on quadrant oc'd to 1150. The ROM itself is much smoother running than pretty much every sense rom I've tried but still not perfect. That "jerkiness" is a limitation of the EVO, no matter what ROM or kernel you use it still won't be iPhone smooth.
SD-EXT is where your apps are stored when using apps2sd. So wipe SD-EXT will wipe that partition.

I went from using stock sense with a score of 1100ish... To runnin CM6 with the stock kernel and a score of 1400 ish... My 3g speed went from an average of 450kbps to above 700... Go figure

[Q] wtf

can someone please inform me how the tmobile galaxy s phone can reach quadrant scores of 2400 and im only pushing 1200
I've hit 2700 on my Evo my penor is HUGE!
haha funny i actually seen his quad score so i know its true
I wouldn't think too much of it. Cyanogen showed that the difference between 1200 and 40 gabillion in quadrant can be something as rediculous as the filesystem. I don't put much weight in those scores when comparing different phones.

ok so other then cm what other rom/kernel would reduce lag and increase speed right now im trying fresh 3.3.0.1 with king kernel #9

Why don't you try installing >>Snap 7.6 kernel on a Sense ROM and then try to enable TURBO? That'll *should* get you scores beyond 2000 but I'm not sure how well it works. >>Snap kernels are designed for CM ROMs ONLY and there is no support for installing a >>Snap kernel on a Sense ROM - but I've read about others who've done it. Maybe give that a try? I haven't done it so I won't be any help but I've read about it which means maybe it'll work for you.
Dude I really don't understand why you're so concerned with Quadrant scores. It's just a number.

Well, it does ultimately represent something. But unless you can see a real difference, I wouldn't care so much.
If your phone is snappy and smooth, it shouldn't matter what score you get in Quadrant. When I was on CM6 I was scoring 2000+, on Fresh I get around 1650 and I think my Evo is running way better with Fresh than it did with CM6.
well see ive tried fresh with the kings kernel and still not gettin that high i wanna try nets kernel but not sure which one is compatible i like baked but takes too long to boot i also like fresh
Have you tried the new official kernel? It's not going to give you crazy quadrant scores but it will make your battery last a lot longer + I think the way HTC lifted the cap makes it smoother than the custom kernels. It makes the phone more useful which IMHO is more important than Quadrant scores.

[Q] Quadrant Standered

hello all,
i was just curious, how come my quadrant scores are always so low (mid 1100s)? i know that's not terribly low, but it is not close to where the "evo benchers" site reports that they are. currently im using the new htc kernal, only becuase i have only seen minimal performance changes with kings or netarchy.
thank you!
when Evo first came out they were only mid 500's...
depends on rom you are running also i believe, i only got 1100-1200 running Sense roms with stock HTC Kernel.
With CM Nightlies + Snap7.6 + Turbo Mode + 1.2ghz setCPU .... math, lol, i have gone as high as 2600 on quadrant.
It's just a basic benchmark and unless you have the paid version that breaks down your score it isn't really a good thing to go by.
1100 is pretty standard with the new HTC kernel and a sense rom. I run VaelPak, trimmed some extra fat, and get 1350 with stock kernel, 1500 with kingx #10. So ill stick with the stock kernel, better battery life imo.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
After alot of work and tweaking got my EVO to its highest quandrant yet..1585 and Linpack of 33.899 MFlops.
Always a great day when one has the full freedom to R&D something they purchased with their hard earned money without being shackled.
I use snap v7.6 w/turbo activated and just got 2483 , w/linpack 37.21

My scores are worse. I avg around 1000, usually 900something
Look a page or two down and the very helpful and patient peopele here gave my several suggestions. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I will when I have more time.
Ive gotten 2700's a few time with snap and Cyanogen 6.1 OC'd of course.

Being rooted what to do next?

Well I been rooted for a month now. I have good battery life I get an average of 11 hours with out charge. But some days my phone will rest out of now where and get really hot. I use setcpu app and I don't over clock it past 1190 Mhz cuz then my phone will freeze and reset. Just wondering if this has happen to any one.
You might be a little too overclocked for you phone.
Yea I know do u know what a good Rom
Well I personally run CM7, and have no problems, and decent battery life. MIUI also has a good rep. For sense, Myn's roms are nice, and I also here Fresh is good.

please help

I have three evo's two are box stock and one is rooted, and is running cyanogen mod 7 kernel and rom.
The problem is the linpak and quadrant score on the modified evo are actually lower than the stock evo. For example the stock evo is doing a linpak of 30 while my modified evo is only doing about 21. Likewise my quadrant score tends to be pretty low. I have to clock my modified evo to the max to pass the stock evo.
What gives why is my evo overclocked to 1.13 with custom kernel and rom slower? I set the profile to performance.
A while back while using the tiamat kernel I set my overclock to 1.2 and the phone just froze and shutdown did I damage the phone. This happened several times because it kept on rebooting. Today I set the clock 1.190 and the phone froze and shutdown again. Right now I am running the Cyanogen Kernel and no issues so far but why is my phone so slow. Both evos don't have much apps at all only one or two(excluding the stock sprint apps on the stock evo)
Thanks for your help
so what do u need to overclock ur phone for? does it dial faster? can u talk and hear phone calls faster? does it ring faster? I don't understand????
I forgot to mention that on quadrant my modified evo ranks below evo 2.2+ on that quadrant score chart. Is my phone defective?

I'm just curious and want to learn more. Why do you guys overclock?
I see people avg's with my my current setting are around 40. Im thinking defective phone.
Should I flash the stock rom back on and un-root and bring the phone back?
rebooted the phone and now the score is just getting crazy low 6.509 mflops
Overclocking an EVO doesn't really do all that much. It's only 200 MHz more.
Desperately need help the touch screen doesnt work and this was all the sudden
Overclocking can cause some instability, like the locked-up screen. Pull the battery and wipe cache and dalvik.
And benchmarks aren't worth anything, they can be easily tricked. Real-world usage matters. Personally, I underclock for more battery

Search the general section for supercharge script. Go to first thread and then go to original thread linked in there. Follow steps and dl update8. Run it as explained. Enjoy ur extremely faster phone. It changes memory management and stuff
Thanks for your helps guys.
Tropicalbrit your right. I really forgot the point of the phone is to see how well it works daily. In all reality I love my evo even though its not getting a high score. I was mainly just curious to see if I damaged my processor from overclocking and crashing.
I booted into recovery and used CW and booted back into a copy of sense I had. I did that linpak test again a was suprised to see how it scored 31. That's higher than CM7! So does this mean my processor is not damaged?
I will eventually go back to CM7 because I love all the effects and battery life was extended significantly. I should just probably stick with the stock kernel.
Thanks for all your help guys
I may try that supercharge script soon though if its safe.

You are running a governor which down clocks the processor. Quadrant does not tax the processor enough to hit your Max CPU speed. Set min and Max to 998 and test again. Try performance(for best results) or interactive/ondemand governers. You can change the settings in the CyanogenMod settings/ performance/ CPU settings menu.

Overclocking a phone doesnt do much other then cause over heating. If someone can give me a good reason to overclock I will gladly change my opinion.
Stock is set to optimal performance. IE HTC has performance tested the phone on this ROM and has proven no ill effects.
Custom ROMS are works in progress they have a lot of benefits and for some, are exactly what they are looking for.

[Q] Looking for a Mosaic Equal for the Epic

I am actually a Captivate owner running the Mosaic ROM. It doubled or more my battery life and now a freind of mine who has an Epic 4G wants the same. Can anyone recommend something? Are you guys seeing these amazing battery life improvements on your GB ROMS? Figured I would ask anyway. Thanks in advance.
can you link to the Mosaic ROM thread?
How many hours do you get on Mosaic ROM? i just flashed my friends Epic to [ACS]SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 With the Genocide 2.0 Kernel
I am running UrBan Regeneration ROM With Genocide 2.0 How techie is your friend? with the Genocide Kernel you can custom undervolt & you can overclock it up to 1400 Mhz. Some Epics dont like higher clock speeds most Epics can do 1200 Mhz as for the undervolting you have to test by running benchmarking apps & see what the SoC/CPU of your friends Epic can handle
But i say just flash SRF 1.2 or Urban Reg
edit P.S i like your avatar do you have the full size pic?

I have had sporadic results in battery life ranging from 30-40 hours with light to average use. I mostly use email and never turn off the WiFi, Bluetooth or GPS. Oddly enough I seem to get better results when I leave it all on. I do keep the screen brightness down to the minimum and average about 1-1/2 hours of screen on time per day. Keep in mind I have only had this ROM about a week now, but so far it is the best I have seen. Previously I had Firefly which I loved and it rarely made the 24 hour mark on battery life no matter what I did. The guy who was managing Firefly moved to the Mosaic project so that is why I followed.
Here is the link for the Mosaic thread.

My friend is just a simple use, not very techie so he just wants something that gives him results like I am getting without all the work. That doesn't bother me much since I have rooted and setup many phones for friends already. It's my sworn duty to rid the world of crappy stock ROM's and let people see the real Android operating system at work. Wish I had the talent of the developers... maybe someday!
Edit:
Almost forgot... I have no idea where I picked up that Avatar. No link for it anymore, just the file saved on my harddrive somewhere, but can't seem to find it now.
ROM: Urban regeneration, KERNEL: genocide 2.0, setCPU set to conservative, any ec05 based theme and the lockscreen mod and you wont hear from him until he wants to start messing with the UV/OC settings to see how much more battery life he can get if he customizes, considering i was getting ~30 hours with that set up WITHOUT tweaking anything and started messing with the UV and got 2 days use with my phone even with 4g on.
But now im on eh06, 2.3.4, because i just wanted to see how far along GB was and its stable as fluff for me running the Stock ODEX-ed one but i dont last as long as i did with the above set up. Keep in mind that i use my phone EXTENSIVELY lol like during the hurricane i just chilled playing gameboid cuz all the other electronics were put away and i lasted through the night and a couple hours the next day
EDIT: was running eh06, which doesnt last aslong as the froyo setup i mentioned, but it lasted as long as irene so that puts it into perspective lol

Do you have any suggested links for installing this ROM. Like so many I have tried in the past, it seems like every ROM has a slightly different procedure. I'd hate to brick a perfectly good phone because I picked the wrong thread for instructions. Thanks again for the info.
this will help you if you end up Fing up an Epic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
