Hello Guys,
I decided to try out a new benchmark called Smartbench 2010. However when i run it, it gives me pretty low scores - about 800/1100 which i find kinda funny cos for example G2 has 1100/1400. So i was wondering if anybody tried this app already on the DHD and what are the results. The system runs smooth so it is not a real issue, but im curious....
I got 900/1300
Stock ROM. Not rooted.
I was about to create the same thread until I found this one. I have a rooted DHD using custom rom: ARHD 2.0.14, OC 1,2ghz. These are my scores:
410/692
Tried with USB-debugging mode ON: 781/1151.
Could someone with knowledge let us know why we get low scores? The phone itself runs smoothly as mentioned in first post.
I would like to know this too.
I got 983/1434
Stock ROM
i got 1500/1941 got 1577/2251 at 1.51 ghz on cm7
Bumb
Anymore news on this?
I am also interested why the DHD gets such a low score compared to a G2, or the myTouch 4G which scores even higher and has the same chipset as our phone.
Probably only software issues, right?
Sorry for waking up an old topic.
1129/1620 on CM7 Nightly #31, 1.2GHz
Could be better huh
will post mine after i install CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V4.8
i got 1113/1135
Stock Unlocked,Unbranded DHD
I tried several builds of CoreDroid, which had different drivers and kernels and the score is still quite low, as well as on the stock ROM... It would be great if anyone would post gingerbread scores even if its still leak...
just ran benchmark 2011 with coredroid 5.0 gingerbread rom got 955/1195 not to bad on standard kernal
i got 1453/1643 on 1.5ghz CM7 build #31
So we have results from 600 - 1500 . This means this benchmark is rubbish and tells us close to nothing about anything...
Get over it guys
^^ agreed!
Now that the CDMA Sprint Nexus S 4g is out will we see ASOP based roms for the Epic which really is a Nexus S with a keyboard. I know Sprint ID comes close but just thinking. I just want to see what the quadrant scores are. I traded my evo for an epic again and my evo did not change much on the quadrant scores even on CM7 with setup cranked all the way up my score was like 1100 or so on stock rooted on evo it was like 1039 i think. I am now back to the epic 4g until i can afford or trade for a EVO 3d or Epic version 2.... I do love samsung for the odin backup... wish other makers used something like it.
Whats the most stable , yet fastest rom out ?
Tired of my phone having freezes , or i cant get messages , or picture mail -__-

Legendary is what I am using on both my Epics and its been super stable once it got out of beta. And god with over clocking options. and the DEVS are always there (daily) to answer questions.
I did some testing of ACS ICS, Legendary ERA, Sleeper, ThunderHawk, Starsky, and CleanGB. I completely wiped my phone between each install. Then I used quadrant to test each. I know some people say that Quadrant results don't mean anything but I figure if I'm using it on the same phone and testing in the same way it should be good for comparing ROMs on my particular phone. Anyway, I ran three benchmarks rebooting between each run. Here are the averages.
Sleeper 1151.3
Clean GB 16 1369
ThunderHawk 3.2 2015
ACS ICS 2218.7
Starsky 1.5 2335
ERA RC 2.1 2495.7
I don't know if that helps you or not but I hope it does. BTW, I haven't had any stability problems with any of these ROMS.
Quadrant doesnt mean anything because some roms have tweaks that make quadrant higher and not real performance.

I'm running the Legendary 2.1 and I must say, it is really really snappy. I just did update the kernel to the 2.0.8 Samurai and it seems to have gotten even better. WAY faster than stock GB and significantly faster than SRF 1.2 that I was on for awhile.
Did some more testing, this time with Smartbench 2011. Here is a chart that summarizes the data from my tests. Like before I wiped everything 3x, loaded the ROM, installed Smartbench 2011, ran 3 tests rebooting in between each. I then took an average of the scores and used them in the chart.
i have been keeping my backup of sleeper rom v1.0.07a because it seems to be the most stable and fastest. i don't get the stability out of the last updates. legendary rc2.1 was also good but i did get some fc issues i don't see out of sleeper rom
Thanks Johnknall for all the awesome testing you did. Very informative. I have recently become a very big fan of ACS ICS 5.5 ROM with the Samurai kernels. Very fast, very stable, and nice battery life.

I've been going through legendary 2.1, ACS ICS (various versions), marcusant revival, and yesterday I just installed SleeperRom 1.0.0.9.
I have to say that I really liked ACS ICS around 5.0 and 5.1, then I think he switched to samurai kernel in 5.5, and it just wasn't smooth for me anymore. but 5.0 and 5.1 did not have the camera mod that I liked.
The revival seems to run pretty smooth, but the battery life was not nearly as good as I got on ACS ICS and that's probably because of the lockscreen mods. I think Marcusant posted a mod to remove the lockscreen mod. Maybe I'll try that again, but the red theming didn't really grow on me enough, and flashing themes seems sloppy in my opinion.
Anyway, I'm really liking sleeperrom 1.0.0.9. Great battery life. Smooth performance, and it just feels nice and snappy.
I want to give props to SenseiSimple for a great rom, and also Marcusant because I really liked ACS ICS too, but it just never felt finished to me.
Coming from an EVO 4G. And I must say, this is the thinnest, fastest, sexiest beast of a phone ive ever owned!! So glad I made this purchase, I love this phone! Has probably the easiest root method as well. Currently on the EG30 modem. Recommend a system update? I was a fan of CM7/Decks over on the EVO, though, I know cm7/cm9 isnt available for this device yet, stable anyway. Can you guys recommend some stable roms/kernels to get me started? Thanks guys!
As I always say, it's a matter of personal preference. I have been using Calkulin's E4GT without a hitch, so start there and flash away until you find a ROM you're comfortable with. Welcome to the Epic Touch. Good luck.
PS-I would check into flashing the EL13 modem as well. For me, it has shown a speed increase.

golf clap. just be glad u got here after the fail eg30 31 debacle
Welcome to the ET4G!
I'd suggest flashing either Blazer ROM or Calk's ROM. I also heard Unnamed is getting pretty popular.
welcome to the forums bro, and yes, this is one HELL of a phone
I am rocking UnNamed and couldn't be happier right now...
The stock EL13 is rock solid.

calkulin's rom is nice, it's looks pretty much stock, but is fast and improves battery life, also very smooth.
the calk rom with the red carnage theme is sick! also running rogue "desperado" kernel with the el13 modem and oc'd to 1.6 g coming in at 6000+ on the antutu benchmark. its a sick set up i love this phone.
I just got mine as well, after having my same launch day evo. I am only rooted and I am very impressed with this device. No itch to flash any rom at this time.

Thanks guys. Running Calks rom and the EL13 modem. Think ill mess around with some kernels.
An Epic post from my Epic 4G Touch
Cool to see so many people go from the legendary EVO to the Epic. I did the same thing after my EVO screen cracked about a month ago.
I also use an all-EL13 setup and it's pretty stable.

I got my epic yesterday for the same reason. I broke my evo screen about two Weeks ago and insurance sent me a refurbed evo with white specs under the screen. The screen just stopped responding to my touch. I planned on getting another evo but when I went in the store the sales rep said I could sell them my evo and get a iPhone 4 for $16 but I ended up getting the epic after changing my mind like 3 times lol.

I read in Development forums that the new Nitrous rom is
an updated stock rom that is much faster. I have flashed
many roms and kernels in the past and never saw a speed
difference (unless overclocked). Well I tried Nitrous and again
noticed no difference in quadrant or nenamark2 scores (I game).
I flashed the hotspot hack and it did not work, so I flashed
a supposed faster anthrax kernel. Nothing got faster, but now
the hotspot wifi works. So Nitrous is a good looking rom, but
I don't get how everyone is saying it is faster. The only bugs
I found is that set cup or cpu master, as well as sd speed increase
tweeks do NOT stick after reboot. Anyone have any ideas on that?
And can people post their quadrant and nenamark2 scores to
show if it is really faster? Thanks

Quadrant scores dont really tell you anything and can easily be manipulated, linpack scores are a slightly better judge for performance but still not truly accurate and easily manipulated, your best judge for true performance increase is to use it for several days preferably a week and see how it runs for you

That's kind of my point. I have tried many roms/kernals and no matter
what speed claims they have, they are all the same (sense based).
I would think that 3d games like Shadowgun, Nova, or Dungeon Hunter
would seem faster/smoother with so called faster roms and kerrnels
like Nitrous/Anthrax, but they are exactly the same speed as Sprint
Stock HTC Evo 4g? All these roms floating around are visually different,
but the speed is exactly the same, so why do devs claim their rom
is faster?
I watched a guy on youtube flashed 119 roms/kernals and said
SavageZen/MUII or something is twice as fast (quadrant), but
the guy lost the ability to mount the phones SD card and 4g!!!
So, my question is:
For the Sprint HTC Evo 4g rooted,
what is THE fastest sense rom/kernel?
Or are they really all the same speed?
Mainly interested in faster gaming, and I do have chainfire installed.
Thanks
Damn Hotstocks at this point I don't think there is anything different anybody can tell you that would really meet your demand... Perhaps maybe you can seek the opinion of notorious XDA Guru "Captain Throwback" and see what he thinks on this matter, this dude forever has a good tip on just about any relevant issue.
Hmm, it would just seem that people around here would
know what is the fastest kernel/rom for full Sprint HTC evo 4g
sense compatibility. Unless I am mistaken, all the sense roms
are the same speed and people are lying when they say they
are faster (Nitrous). I can see how Cyanogen or a senseless rom
could be faster, but all the sense roms I have tried were no faster
than Sprint HTC stock. Maybe a Nitrous user can chime in here.
Hey,
I am not sure what he did to the software of the phone but it appears to me that he didn't tweak the system speed at all but if you noticed transitions are faster and he changed a lot of the animation settings to no dealy so they move faster and gives the Rom the appearance it is faster but the Rom itself has no physical speed changes. That's my two cents anyways
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button

You do realize the evo is almost 2 yrs old and is severely limited in capabilities by its hardware right? No one can answer your question because every evo is different and every user is different what makes my evo fast may make your evo crawl and vice versa, you also have to wait several days after flashing for the rom and kernel to settle in before your really see any performance difference, you cant flash a rom for an hour or 2 and then judge it they HAVE to settle

This is pretty much what it is hotstocks, just keep in mind these are just a few factors that may vary results from user to user.
Thanks for the info. I know the hardware is not dual core or the newest.
And I do let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. I don't see any reason why
it would need to settle in for a week, but will use it for a week. And the
statement that my evo will be a different speed than yours makes no sense.
If we both have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g running the same rom and kernel at the
stock 1ghz, they will be both the exact same speed and should quadrant the same.
Obviously if I have a bunch of programs running in the background, that changes, but I am talking about after a fresh clean flash.

U obviously need to read some more, there are 3 different hardware versions of the evo 002-004 and all have slightly differnt hardware thus they all act differentlu with different software, it takes much longer than 10 minutes for hardware to adjustbto new software which it why it needs to settle in for several days
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thanks for the info. My hardware says 0004
Does that mean I have the newest/fastest hardware?
Newest doesnt mean fastest so no it all depends on what they had when it was made they have different logic boards different cameras different screens different brands of memory but all have the same processor just different combos all run differently

Thanks. I know my phone isn't the latest and greatest.
But I am holding out for the LTE Sprint phones coming this
summer. It would be silly to waste my 2 year upgrade on
a Galaxy SII with wimax, when I will need an LTE phone this
summer. Plus it will probably be a quad core 1920x1080 monster
also. Right now I am just trying to make my phone as fast as
possible. It is overclocked to 1.13ghz, have sd speed increase at 2048.
I thought there would be a SIMPLE answer to which sense rom and
kernel were definately the fastest, but I guess no one can answer
that simple question. I have been working on computers for 30 years,
I can install windows XP, windows vista, and windows 7 on three identical computers, I can also flash old and new bioses to the motherboards,
and I can DEFINATELY then benchmark the same machines with different bios (rom) and kernel (windows version), and tell you what is the fastest. I fail to
see why this is so difficult to do with a smartphone like the evo 4g. I would think that the rom/kernel with the highest quadrant (graphics) score and highest Nenamark2 score would be the fastest rom/kernel. Games or 3d graphics is where the phone runs into a bottleneck.
not all evo's are created equal bud, that's just how it is
Every computer, phone, tablet, game console, router, etc. is going to have significant performance variances at an individual device level. Even ones that are identically configured, running the same OS, software, firmware, drivers, etc. A 20+ year career as a network engineer showed me that, and nothing has changed in that regard with more modern electronics.
I'm running the Nitrous ROM as my daily driver so I'm rather familiar with it, and I really don't see how you can claim that anyone lied to you. The ROM has simply been tweaked to speed up the UI, transitions, and a few other things. Read the first section of the OP for that thread -- it clearly states what has been improved. Nowhere in there does it claim overclocking or anything that would improve phone gaming. The improvements related to data/Wi-Fi have quite a few other factors at play, including the base level variances between devices that I mentioned in the first paragraph. I haven't really noticed an improvement in Wi-Fi, but have noticed an improvement in 3G.
All that said, the ROM is visibly faster and "prettier" (which usually don't come together in one package) on my EVO 4G than any other Sense ROM I've put on it. You need to read/understand what the dev did and not let your expectations get so out of whack. If you want better game performance, you're simply going to have to get a better phone. For its time, the EVO 4G was an absolute BEAST. Now? There are quite a few better phones.
Thanks, and I agree. The evo can still play almost any game on the market (not gta III) with acceptable performance. Nitrous is a nice looking rom, my 3g is same speed. I am using it as my daily, but it is misleading that it is claiming to be faster than stock, it is the same. I also seem to have a problem with sd speed not sticking between reboots, even though I have checked it. Same with CPU master free (set cpu) settings not sticking thru reboot. I also think the live wallpaper wasn't sticking thru reboot, but that was on 1.2.7, haven't tried it on 1.3.1., just wastes battery.

We'll just have to disagree on that one, because overall it's a much faster ROM for me. However, I use my phone as just a smartphone (multimedia, light browsing, email, texting, etc.) where the Nitrous tweaks would be more obvious and beneficial, and then use my Acer tablet far more for gaming.
I think you should just pick a Sense or AOSP ROM that you like and is well supported, and then focus your efforts on various kernels and trying out their options/settings to try to get the most out of your "old" hardware while you wait to get a new phone.
Thanks, I actually did that and it is how I found Nitrous.
I think it is the best sense rom right now, but it has a few
little bugs. I can't post yet in the dev forum for Nitrous,
but the live wallpapers definately do not stick with reboot,
goes back to Nitrous default wallpaper. Other than that
I am pretty happy with Nitrous and Anthrax kernel (for oc
and wireless tether). Real stable. I was just saying that
when the dev says it is much speedier, and his lock screen
says "Nitrous Oxide System", I expect to see a noticable
speed increase. If you put Nitrous Oxide into a Corvette or
Mustang, it doesn't just get get 1% faster, it gets 25% faster!
With Nitrous you REALLY should notice the speed difference.
Yo Hotstocks I'll give you credit for sticking to what you feel son LOL I'm shock you still debating in this thread however if it's ok with you let me give you a little tip since I noticed you might be a little excited to comment on the Dev once you get more than 10 post... Be very gentle with what you say over there because these people spend a lot of time and effort behind what they do for somebody to come and talk smack about their work... Chances are they'll rip you a new one if you cross the line... Just saying son don't take it to the heart either.
