Stock OCed, pretty fast! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is 2122 a good quadrant score for a stock ROM. I took the original shipping ROM, applied the OTA, rooted, deodexed, removed bloat and OCed with BaconBits 0.3.
Would anyone want this ROM?

At what clock frequency did you get that Quadrant score, stock 806mhz?

OCed at 1.5 via BaconBits 0.3

What am I doing wrong?

I have rooted my phone with unrevoked and have played with multiple roms to find what I like. Right now I am using warm twopointtwo Rom with kings #11 BFS kernel.
But when I run the quadrant test all my numbers suck.. like 900-1050.. people with the same are reporting a lot higher numbers.
A friend of mine has the my touch phone.. its rooted but with the stock Rom and kernel and he scored a 1700.
So what's the deal?? What am I doing wrong?

Can you give more info? Like are you over clocking at all....set cpu perhaps? If so....what do you have it set to.....processor speeds make a difference ....
Sent from my rooted evo using the xda app....if I helped you, please click Thanks!
Have you tried a CFS kernel?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Not using set cpu.. only running whatever the kernel is setup for. And yes I have tried multiple kernels including kings cfs kernels.. I just don't know what I'm doing differently

never trust the first quadrant score, always run it 2-3 more times and use the highest as your "bragging quadrant score"
do you have lots of widgets/apps installed? or is this with a fresh install?
do you get higher score with a different kernel?
It's important to note that you are running a Sense ROM, and though I'm not certain, I would assume that this would give you lower quadrant scores (Sense is resource-heavy). Your friend's MyTouch also has different hardware than your Evo.
Unless you're noticing unresponsiveness, quadrants mean nothing. Don't let them get you down, haha. If you're worried about it, back up your apps, make sure everything is synced with Google, do a full wipe, and reinstall your ROM.

Rooting newbie.

Hi, I just rooted my g2 with visionary. How tried the 1ghz overclock gscript thingy and just madr my phone slower than before with quadcom benchmark scores the lower than stock unrooted. Then I came across someone saying using that method is like a rough hack and something abouy voltage, and suggested to use pershooter's kernal as it correctly changes the batterys voltage saving more battery and overclocking even higher. What is kernal? And can I use with stock froyo ?

For ease of understanding, the kernel is the underlinging OS (think MS-DOS for Windows, Windows runs on top of DOS). And yes, you're correct. Pershoots kernel does under-volt and isn't available for stock Froyo but do a search for Baconbits and use that.
If you haven't toyed around with flashing things, I suggest using ROM Manager (by ClockworkMod) which is available in the Market; additionally, try SetCPU instead of the gscript; it might be easier for you to manage.

Read the Wiki and read the forums if you don't want to be clueless.
If you like the stock ROM, then stay with it; if you want more control, then flash a new ROM. If you want to overclock in stock, flash Baconbits v3; if you want to overclock (with undervolt), you'll need to flash CM and pershoots kernel.
Like I said, read the Wiki and the forums; for ease of use, download ROM Manager (can flash CM, pershoot and Baconbits there easily), and download SetCPU (probably easier for you than a gscript).
Really though, unless you're wanting to take chances and learn as you go, just stay stock; but since you've already opted to root, take a gander at the threads and Wiki and see if anything interests you; if not, there was no need for you to root.

Get your phone back to full non-rooted stock and reroot using Rage.

If you want to try out Sense, head over to the Virtuous thread. I highly recommend that. If you want stock then try cm6. Considering cm7 is in early development, you might want to stray away. And there are tons of themes you can flash on top to make it your own.

OC/UV Kernel for 2.1 GingerSense

Guys,
I am having a heck of a time finding a Kernel for 2.1 stock rooted Ginger. I am currently running JCase's Gingerbread Kernel but it doesnt give UV options. Any opinions or links.
Zax10
If you're running Gingerbread, you're running 2.3, so look for kernels made for Gingerbread/2.3, not 2.1.

He's talking about sense 2.1, eclair for this phone doesn't exist.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
As far as I know, jcase has the only publicly available oc kernel for stock 2.3, but it isn't uv/compatible with incredicontrol. What I mean by that is most of the roms have a custom kernel, but you can't just flash it on another rom. Unless you hark apart the .zip, and even then I can't garuntee it would work.

I'm looking for same even though I don't fully understand UV vs. UC. Does this squeeze out a little more battery life when you do both? SetCPU is good so far.

Yeah guys thinks for the info. Once I got to a computer I found jcases. Thanks again.

Jcase's kernal worked great at 1.6 when I was using RMK's Ginger Sense R1.

Overclock stock G2

Hey guys, quick question. I went back to my stock ROM from Unity, this thing is slow now... Lol. Is there am overclock kernel that won't screw up everything? I had amazing larry before and it knocked out my camera, and video player. I am rooted. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
check out virtuous glite. Its stock with an oc kernel. I'm pretty sure all the kernels in dev don't work perfect with stock rom, wifi gps problems etc... I'm really happy with it, really snappy

Ok, thank you, I'll give out a shot!

Darkside digital warfare

I was wondering why after updating from and stock Telus ROM and darksides kernel from his kernel thread to the DDW ROM my processor has been slowed down to 1.35 GHz I saw in notes he does this for safety or something but my Telus G2X has a 1.5 GHz CPU stock am I better off running my stock ROM with just a kernel. Also my 4g icon has disappeared. I also ran some bench tests before and after with those previously mentioned ROM kernel combos and I went from 1.75 overclocked to 1.35 and it shows me being slower then a stock galaxy s2 X.

Download a clock controller app from the market and set the clock to whatever you like, i use setcpu. Pretty straight forward.
The point of the underclock and undervoltage in Darksides ROM isn't to gain stability or because of a problem with stock speeds....it's only purpose is to give you better battery life.
Stability with custom ROMS is the problem you will run into when you test enough of them.
I think the most stable one I ran was Gingersnap.
Peace.
Is it safe to overclock to 1.85? Does it just suck life out of battery

Darksides kernel oc's to 1.78 ghz but comes stock at 1.35
If you torque it up all the way, the phone will def perform better but the battery life will suffer.
I was using the bullet kernel on juggernaut and it is at 1.67 ghz... Battery life went down quickly if inwas using the phone a lot.

Yeah I set it to cap at 1.52 I just hope these profiles work

dude just stop with your anti custom ROM posts. There's a reason why a lot of people use custom roms, it's been completely stable for us.
you are a case of user error
