Quadrant SO LOW, but phone still fast!

Okay i'm running CM6 release on 8/15...
the quadrant scores are WAY lower than that of myfroyo6..
someone said it was because of the media.stagefright i've removed them, added them back, moved around lines from the MF6 build.prop, and placed them within the CM6 rom and still LOW quad scores...
I love seeing the high scores of MF6, but flash light doesn't work on MF6, neither does Neocore, it just seems everything works on CM6...
So in a nutshell, anyone know what the difference is between these two roms to make the quad score higher, and what i need to do to CM6 to allow the benchmark to run like MF6?
Thanks in advance!

without the dumfuq kernel, the only thing I can recommend is to download an overclocking app like overclocking widget or SetCPU and set your CPU freq to 600max/400min. You should see a healthy improvement in performance. I did.

That's kind of the problem with the 2.2 roms out there. With JIT, 2.2 is soooo fast but since its still freshly ported... its buggy. I'm kind of stuck in limbo my self here. I guess I'll wait it out. So far, teamfelix 1.8 is the most stable 2.2 rom around even more so than cm6.0. you guys might like it. wifi works well but tether doesnt work. bluetooth media audio works but regular audio in calls dont. oh and a2fat32 works well. I heard cm does all that but it seems to score lower than teamfelix 1.8. I'm getting around 600-700 with oc at 768 and jit enabled.

Just my thoughts but if it seems to perform faster who cares what your score is.
I know it's cool to show off but in the end it's about usability right?

I'm runing the new myfroyo6 build with oc kern 860 blazing fast

Evo overclocking questions, hopeing for some Dev input!

Hey all, I want to get some info on the limitations of our processor, mainly is their a ceiling on how high we can overclock our Evo's?
I am sure most of us here are familiar with the insanely fast 1.3ghz-1.8ghz(I think the top I read was 1.8ghz) speeds some newer phones are getting clocked to, the only thing that caught my eye about these speeds is that they are reported stable & usable. Coming from a Hero(a while ago) that I had to overclock to my Evo that is not really necessary to overclock was nice, BUT it would be awesome to have an Evo clocked at 1.5ghz-1.8ghz and stable as well as usable, is this even remotely doable? If not what is causing the limitation? Just curious
Edit: HAPPY THANKSGIVING, I am very thankful for my wife & kids as well as all you great guys and gals here at XDA!

It all depends on your phone....what may run on yours may send mine into random reboot...I found mine is stable at 1.13
You may want to raise the bar a little at a time to see what you can handle....be sure not to have it set on boot till you are sure your phone can handle it....

not exactly sure how it works on the phones but if its anything like a pc processor then it would take a kernel that can tweek voltages right like to get a 1.8 on our ever i would say it would need about a 3 step down uv but not sure if it would be stable heck at 3 step down uv it shouldn't boot unless its set oc'd on splash boot I'm pretty sure since our proc. are first gen snapdragons and the one's in the G2 and myTouch 4G are second with a smaller die ours won't be able to make it that far up with out major modification

Hmmm......so if I were to get off my ass and learn to compile a kernel I could at least attempt it, good info, thanks! At least now I have a place to start researching, I think I would be happy with a bump to an even 1.5ghz if it were stable, well if anyone else has more info I'm all ears!

I got mine at 1.15 anything past that seems unstable 1.2/1.25 reboots automatically (cm7 nightly 88)

The FroYo kernels come unlocked to 1190 I believe. When I was running FroYo I ran 1152 all the time. You don't really need to compile your own kernel unless you really want to. All of the kernels available here are unlocked except for the stock kernels. Also 1190 was about the limit for most EVOs.

I don't have an evo, but I do have a snapdragon, use quadrant to check scores after an overclock. 1190 isn't so good. Makes lower scores than the stock 1ghz. Fsb bottlenecks at that speed, but gets a boost at 1530. I've had my snapdragon around 1600 stable all day. Low battery life though.

Ghastly quadrant scores?

I'm running cr_mod w/ ota update, with dumfuq's cmkernel 4.0 flashed over it, and I ran a quadrant benchmark for the hell of it and it gave me a 400 and something, while clocked at 844 mhz. Cm6 gave me a 1200 and something. Now I know my phone isn't performing that low, because frankly, although not quite as snappy, has smoother animations and such. I can see it scoring as low as an 1100 or 1000 on the stock rom, but 800 points lower? A measley 400? I'm thinking of discrediting the score, since in my everyday use, I know it is not that bad. I just can't think of what would throw the score down THAT low. Might it have something to do with the kernel I flashed?

It doesn't have jit which and it's 2.1 as we have seen putting 2.2 on a phone dramatically increases scores mainly due to jit. Though you may not see too many differences in speed but they are there.

Ah, yeah, in terms of user experience I feel no significant difference. I'll just ignore the scores until cm7 comes out.

Cm7 would be 2.3...But the score will always be lower on a sense rom than stock, Cm has perf features that cant be added to the stock rom...But if you use the jit mod for 2.1 you will get about 5xx w/ OC at max...Which is low, but you have to consider that this is meant as a mid-low range device...Have you seen some of the newest lowend androids out there? Like the optimus or whatever the LG phone is-it's nothing compared to the slide IMO.

I know cm7 is gingerbread, I don't like cm6, battery drain bug with cell radio. That's why I want to wait. I know its a midrange phone, still gets 1200 on cm6. Like I said, the user experience is fine I'll just leave it alone

The scores don't translate into better performance for me, in CM6 it's quick w/o OC-just like on stock where it's fast w/ def clocks. But I do like to see higher values just for the hell of it.

Yeah, haha I actually studied the quadrant test as it was running, it seems to have HORRIBLE, and I mean REALLY REALLY bad file system write times. It took forever to get past those tests.
I flashed CM6.1 stable, because of a combination of my obsessive ROM flashing syndrome (according to r0man) and my desire to get the gingerbread Latin IME on my phone. Plus, I used what's-his-face's anyfirmware theme porter to port the green theme in miguel's theme port thread to cm6.1-stable, since miguel's is based off of a nightly. The font didn't get ported, but I was in it for the visual elements anyway, so no big issue there. cm6.1 is faster, but the 2d animations are more prone to lag than sense roms, for whatever reason. Someone once told me that it was because HTC puts their own window animations in and adds more frames to them to make them smoother.
Anyway, I guess the quadrant scores didn't matter too much, sense was awesome, but I'm happy where I am with cm6.1-stable themed. Quadrant scores are quite pleasing as well

How far can you push your defy?

As the title says whats the max o/c can you get out of your defy?
Im on standard 2.1 and can get 1300mhz @ 80vesl and get 1388 in quadrant.
So if your a o/c nutter and try an get the max out of everything tell us what ya can get!

I'm getting 1348 at the stock 800 mhz :/ Got about the same when overclocked. So, meh.

1350/80 stable, 1409 in quadrant. (stock rom)

Quadrant: 1405
setVsel: [email protected] (haven't tried higher than 1100Mhz yet)

I got 14xx (no trick) with 1000 @ 50 and 16xx (no trick) with 1200 @ 62 on finland 2.2.

For how long and how hot did your Defy get?

it ran for about an hour at 1350, and the max temprature was 39°C as i recall. based on abc's results, that jit in 2.2 is a big performance hit, looking forward to the official update

quadrant 1709 1st score, 1671 2nd score.

i got 1589 with 60/1200

Can running such high frequencies and vsels regularly damage the CPU? I'm kind of scared of toasting it, so i stopped at 1100/60 (scaled with setvsel)

i dont think so... did the stability test for around 15 minutes and the temp stays at 38 C
60/1200 with threshold at 80%, everything is so smooth

Hmm, i know have it at 62/1200, with threshold at 60%. 80% makes it feel a little laggy.
Hopefully the processor will last the life of the phone at these settings!

[Q] How can I get stable at 844mhz

I've had my Slide for well over a year and still can't seem to get it to stay at 844 mhz without freezing and rebooting. Is there any way I can clock it there without reboots or is it just I have a bad CPU?

Not really, it depends on the quality of the chip inside your phone. I can't stay at 864 for more than 2 min before my phone freezes and reboots and that is with any ROM or kernel.

Makes sense, I've read on forums that some are running at 864 with no problems at all. I might just have a crap chip inside mine. Can't go above 825 without issue

I think I've figured it out. using SetCPU I've changed sampling rate to 12500 and up threshold to 96%. Been running all day without a single reboot even ran some pretty cpu intensive games like fruit ninja and age of zombies without problem. Only issue is rio seems to freeze and force close but the phone itself still runs fine.

I'm not 100% sure but I noticed that my Slide could run 844 Mhz without reboots with Miguel's kernel, but not with a CM7 stock kernel. Unfortunately miguelthekernel has become outdated and doesn't work properly with new nightlies so I'm back to 825.
