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

Does anyone have any problems on the evo? I am currently running myn's warm rls 5 w netarchy latest cfs, no havs, no uv, no sbc. So far it has been pretty decent. I am using it as I type. Are there any ways to test benchmark statistics wise what is too low for the evo. My current 1152 cons setting gets me in the 40s hr use wifi at home and a full time job. Whats your experiences w similar?

If I read your post right... you are getting 40hrs of use from your phone with a single charge and its overclocked?...
Sorry.. I don't believe you. Not unless you don't use the thing at all. Are you on a 3500mah battery too?.
The only time I have ever gotten my phone even close to 40grs was with 4g and wifi off and barely used it at all... and by "even close" i mean about 29hrs
Well, that's your opinion. I spend 18 to 20 hours away from wifi and the rest around 12m internet. It stayed off the charger and lost 3% in 9 hours last night. 35 to 40 is my avg. I have made it 60 once but I was around my wifi all weekend. I was just asking if anyone has had issues underclocking the snapdragon.
Sent from my warm EVO
Oh, OK, so you barely used it, got it.
And underclocking, never found any advantage at all. I seem to get better battery not using any over or underclocking.
Well, I am using it lol. I am at work now. I have freedom at my job to use it an keep it w me. I have spent a lot of time flashing and dialing these roms and kernels to my liking and have great battery life now. Thanks for letting me know ur experience on underclocking. I didnt start this post to make mine seem amazing lmao I just started it to hear other experiences. I also had to revert to 1.77 nv/pri because I had 100% wake time. Since then it's been nice and stable.

My girlfriend has a defy and it'd like to put a custom rom on it.
But I know from experience that they often have a lot of bugs.
What's the best rom that doesn't sacrifice any usability?
Oh, and her gps is absolutely awful, it can't lock onto any satellites.
Swifted from my Atrix.
CyanogenMod7 would definitely have to be the best for performance, the phone becomes much more snappy, and responsive. As far as battery is concerned, I'd say it's going to be the same with any ROM seeing as they all have an absolute ton of processes. You can use SetVSel to change the battery consumption. Definitely CM7 though.
What about the bugs?
Swifted from my Atrix.
i've been using cm7 beta 6 since it came out, and i can tell you, there are only minor bugs, nothing to worry about, the phone is absolutely usable, and very fast. the only thing i'm having problems with is the camera, but afaik that's just me, noone else is having it. try it, if it doesn't work out, you could still try froyo (i recommend 3.4.3-11), that's not bad either
I have been on CM7 for a good week now, and haven't really noticed any bugs to be honest. It's a very solid rom.
Any thoughts on her gps issue?
Also, she really likes the look of MIUI, any thoughts on it?
Swifted from my Atrix.
Cm7 comes with a baseband switcher, so it could potentially fix the GPS issues, not sure about that one though.
MIUI, I have zero experience with it, all I know is that it looks like the iPhone.

i have never used miui either, but i've read somewhere that it's development is based on cm7 by quarx, so it probably has more bugs than cm7. not sure though.
+1 for CM7, both performance and stability. I would recommend using the boot menu overclock and vsel settings in 2nd init. I have always had issues with setvsel, but this has been flawless.
I couldn't recommend miui, even in the htc desire , which has had over 8mths to stabilize, it is still full of bugs. My wife has that phone now with cm7 and it is rock solid.
Barebones 1.51 is quick and stable too, but I would wait until Fritolays does a cm7 mod, cm7 is just too good.
from my experiënce, roms don't realy increase or decrease batterylife. more important is weather you overclock or not.
always calibrate your battery, after installing a new rom, or else you're having battery drain problems in notime.
I think quark's cm7 for now is the most nice rom because it is the only 2.3.3 rom runnung perfectly @ 800 mhz. without too much bugs.
when battery is calibrated you can easily do three days while using internet sometimes or play a little game.
If you don't mind using froyo instead of gingerbread, there are tons of nice roms running perfectly fine. try adlxmod, pays, barebone etc.
i try barebones, pays, MIUI and CM7 the level of battery is similar in 4 roms, i can use intensive for 1 day and when i go to charge the phone have 20%

Now i use China Unicom 2.10, same results. I switched from CN 1.11 - Barebones - CN 2.10. I saw a battery draining with batebones, but i dont know if i should blame barebones or some defectiva app.
China 2.10, is very battery friendly and very stable (Fropyo 2.2.2). i'd recommend it over anything else, it have call recorder integrated in dialer, and data plan manager integrated, so you wont incur in data charges. you may need to change baseband to fit your country with basebandswitcher.
Anyway. calibrating a battery is good once every month, but contrary to belief you will not get better battery life; you will just get better readings about its charge.
Screen + Radios are the ones that drains the most power, CPU undervolt can make difference.
Imagine 2 scenarios.
1: Power user, using phone all the time. whatever you do to conserve energy, screen is gonna take 50% of total battery consumption (Tested and confirmed) Radios are the next, so wireless is better than 3g, and 2g is better than 3g. Cpu is the last, undervolt it to save some energy.
2: Users who use the phone for 1-2hours and keep it in the pocket most of the day. Here is where you are going to get the most energy savings, an undervolting and deep sleeping cpu, in china rom, wireless always on, getting notifications from gmail and social networks, will drain only 0.5% of battery per hour, that is 12% every 24 hours. All of the other roms i tried, drained 1%-2% per hour in standby, which is 24% / 48% a day
My defy is running Pay's Rom V6.0, so far so good. Battery life lasts 2 days with moderate use. The only possible bug I found is that the phone sometimes went dead when playing Fruit Ninja.
I've used 3-4 ROMs and so far CM7 is the one with best performance and battery backup. Max I got from my 2months old defy is here in the screeny:
PS: Using SetVsel([email protected],[email protected],[email protected])and I've almost disabled all those eyecandy features of CM7 such as zoom effects on drawer open/close,animate when screen off, ALL vibrations.
So no matter what rom i load on my phone i get the same thing.... it will not wake up and i have to remove the battery. Now on stock its fine! but any rom.. and yes i have tried them.. numerous times.. Right now i have AOSP genocide 2 and its working the best. I can go 4 or 5 hours before i need to do a battery pull (sometimes). This morning i have had to do i battery pull twice but now it seems to be fine.
Now its not over clocking that is doing it. I have been all through that. My phone blazes when at 1.3ghz but will not turn back on ever with out a battery pull. right now there is no overclocking and voltage control is denied root. This seems to be working the best.
I really want something besides the stock rom. mainly because my phone is snappier and the battery life is wayyyyyyy better. So is it just my phone? Should i bring it into sprint and get a new epic?

Are these freezes ONLY happening when running o/c? If so, then your hardware might not like o/c speeds. Please clarify that it is not an o/c issue due to the information you provided above.
If you're stable and having no locking issues on stock, then flash ROMS/kernels and of the bat start boosting to o/c speeds then seeing instability, how/why are you ruling out it's not a o/c or hardware limitation?

I don't think sprint will swap your phone out just because you can't manage stable o/c speeds on your phone. LOL
Sounds like you need to do the classic Wipe 3X before flashing.
Sorry guys i should have been more clear. I am not a noob i always wipe 3x. It is not a O/C issue. I have gone through all the clocking and my phone just does not like it.. I can live with that. What i am saying is even when not O/C and denying all access from anything that could effect my processor the ROM's Still don't work right. They freeze even with NO O/C at all! Every one of them. So i am thinking i just got the bad end of the silicon?
Also i relies Sprint will not just exchange my phone.. But im sure i could come up with something lol.
Well i really like my epic but i am thinking of switching to the photon if i cant get the ROMS to work right. I really wanted to wait until next year to upgrade.

It's not the overclocking that causes your phone to go into sleep of death, it is the low end. 100 Mhz causes sleep of death on a lot of phones on a custom ROM. Set your minimum frequency to 200 Mhz and you will be fine. Don't change any of the stoick voltages.
Try using stock speeds (400-1000). Then work your way incrementally in both directions to see which frequency(ies) cause your issues. Each phone is unique, so find the sweet spot.
I get the black screen of death about twice a month running twilight 1.1.1. My phone runs 200-1000 with no undervolting and set on conservative. I'm just too lazy to bother playing with settings since I'm holding out for SRF 1.3 to release.
Guys am almost flashing 1 or 2 roms daily, till date i experinced with 7 r 8 roms..but none of them satisfied me...some ROM had problem with the basic things like camera, camcoder and other things, some other ROMs lack in battery usage...
So can someone sheds some light on this part...
As long as you're on a new stable ROM such as ICS you're battery should be fine. JB is too early to know really but it's fantastic for me. So, assuming you're now on a stable ROM (a non Sense ROM would be better too) the problem is either your battery or you. I would recommend getting a new battery if you still have the 2 year old one the phone came with, and tbh I'd recommend getting a new Ankers 1600 mAh anyway as they're fantastic, lasts me days.
Now that you're on stable ROM and have a shiny new battery, if you're battery life is still bad then the latter problem I mentioned applies, that is, you, or rather how you are using the phone.
If, like many other Vision users I see around the forums, you are overclocked to absurd speeds well over 1GHz running the performance governor then have I got news for you of course your battery life is going to be terrible. For this reason, tbh you really don't need to go over stock clock speed and if you use the Virtuous OC daemon then you can under clock significantly when the screen is off, this saves enormous amounts of battery life.
Also if you are using the phone constantly and have the screen very bright, data on all the time etc., then you've got to accept that you simply won't last more than a day between charges.
By the way I'm not going to recommend a specific ROM because as you should know "what ROM should I get" threads are not allowed, I just wanted to give you some general battery help.
Hope this helps

Am using this ROM : [Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]
and my phone is just 40 days old... so the battery will be fine abvsly... then i wont over clock it more than 850 mhz, so it satays under stock freq. then i will be using the mobile in half brightness,, i used to hear songs nd play games lil bit... even though my battery last for jus 12-15 hrs... thats y i doubt on the ROM, but am not sure ...
