This is my compilation of Antutu Benchmarks...I've done many others so expect more.
- All ROMS benchmarked at 768MHz except stock V...set to Airplane mode except Sun Spider
- Ran 3 of each benchmark...I never ran them after each other so no caching.
- Swap partitioned to 128Mb/512Mb fs .... I've shown that partitioning doesn't matter in my other post (check below)
- Phones only used the benching programs & a screenshot app
This took awhile, probably greater than 2 weeks as I restarted again and again when I found better ways to set up the phone, but I like to see actual numbers to back up reasoning...more to come!!!

You don't want that. Better off getting aospCMod.
Hey what filesystem are you using when doing these benchmarks? Also on the stock ROM benchmark on quadrant advanced, are you using the stock unrooted kernel? because I have a stock unrooted v that has never had anything flashed to it and im getting like 480's.
Unreliable
You can't judge a phone when it comes to anything based off of CM7. CM7's stage fright is unstable and basically, skips some of the initial tests and marks them as completed. This causes highly inflated scores. All the 2.2 or non CM7 based ROM's will post more accurate and relevant scores. I have tried almost all of these ROM's and Bumble Bee is the winner for me. Off of real performance speeds, not Quadrant Scores..

True, but that only applies to benchmarks that use stagefright enabled tests, such as Quadrant. He ran his tests on several different benchmarking tools. Besides, we all know benchmarks don't matter, right?

I seem to have better performance out of cm7. I play crusade of destiny every now and then. It lags a bit on bumblebee and other 2.2 rpm's, but its pretty smooth on cm7.
Sent from my VM670 using tapatalk
thank you so much for doing this work man. This is exactly the kind of critical information that a newer user like me needs. In fact I consider this one of the more critically important posts / collection of data that I have come across in my searches for the ROM that will best fit my needs.
I've been torn between a few ROM's (Stock V, Harmonia, Bumblee, Gingerbread based ROM) and this data you've provided will allow me to pick a ROM based on 1) the features I think I will need 2) it's performance level relative to other ROM's.
That's not to say some developers might not leapfrog each other in performance, but it gives me a good idea of who is on a path that I also wanna walk on. And right now that's looking like Harmonia to me (maybe Bumblebee as a trial). But I LOVE the absolutely stripped down nature of Harmonia 1.3.1 on my LG OV.
again, thank you so much for this info.
Interesting. I'd love to see you test Jerry's or KemikalElite's ROMs. On a straight IHO build ondemand @ 245-729MHz I'm getting into the 1500s on AnTuTu, low 900s on Quadrant[1], high 9s on Linpack single threaded.
1: Quadrant seems to be rather dependent upon minimum CPU speed here, as bumping that up a bit got me into the 1100s.
Quadrant scores should be completely thrown out. It's easy to optimize code for the benchmark. Acer released an official patch that did just that for some of their Android phones.
Smartbench may be a better choice. I also would like to see one of the I.H.O. builds tested against the other ROMs.

At this point no one should be downloading AOSP due to its lack of support and general lack of being a good ROM. Bumblebee (2.2, most stable, super fast, great battery life, etc, but stock), Harmonia (2.2 with a lil more features), Ath3nos (most stable 2.3/CM7 so far) and Inferior Human Organs (2.3, CM7.1, still some issues but wide open source, actual bug logging, etc.)

I agree with most of this, except whether Ath3nos is most stable, it's based on an earlier source of IHO, and IHO had a lot more fixes since then. I haven't had any issues with IHO (except the documented ones already, a shrinking list), maybe because it's better documented it seems easier to pick at the details. It should be THE Gingerbread/CM7.1 to use for Optimus V right now.

Hello all,
Since there are so many flavours of ROMs around, I decided to do a little test with some of them (in my opinion, the more popular ones).
For the test I used the following ROMs:
2.1 Eclair
BeHero 1.3.2
Legendary 1.3.5
aHero 0.6.1
aHero 0.7.1
aHero 0.8
Villain 4.0 beta 2
Villain 5.02
Villain 5.1
Villain 5.2
Villain 5.3
Villain 5.4
CyanogenMod for Hero 1.0
Defiance 2.1
Androbin 1.1110
Legendroid 1.0.1
NeoRom 2.1
Raidroid 1.1
SlideVillain 1.0.1 beta
VanillaEclair 1.3 NAS
---
1.5 Cupcake
Kimera 1.7 @ 768MHz
Also the following for benchmarking:
For 3D Performance
Qualcomm's "NeoCore" 1.9.18 - Measured in FPS
For 2D Performance
Softweg's "Benchmark" 1.03 - Measured by an internal score
For CPU Performance
Linpack for Android - Measured in MFLOPS
All the tests mean: The higher, the better.
The method of testing was the usual flashing, a couple of reboots to make sure every caching necessary was done and the average of 3 benchmark of each test.
----
Here are the results from this first batch of ROM's:
{

Also remember that this tests are solely to measure the 2D/3D performance of a ROM, what in no way can be used to measure if a ROM is better or worse then another. It's only for games and overall "snappiness".
Bye
Hey. Thanks for the comparisons. This is very useful.
I have always said that BeHero was the best 2.1 ROM. It is very quick.
Villian was always the slowest for me but had more 'fixes' and features (just as google voice search).
I am currently running Legendary 1.3.5 (the 'upgrade' to BeHero...), which is as good as its predecessor.

According to the post you replied to, it is not as good as its predecessor when it comes to OpenGL performance - I would say it comes at an overall third place in that list.
That said, I wonder whether this should be taken as a measure for performance of a ROM.
Does OpenGL affect performance of the entire device? Or just, as I suspect, those processes which can make use of it - some games perhaps?

Hi. Yeah I did read the post I replied to and saw that Legendary came 3rd. But in fact, well in my opinion it is a better performer than its predecessor contrary to the benchmark statistics above.
To me, it feels snappier. Though the stats. say differently.
Just like a car might feel faster than the car you previously drove, but in fact it is not... if that makes sense lol...

Hello,
I'm doing this tests for my own pleasure since I like measuring performance and I saw a good opportunity here and for the moment I have some spare time
Anyway, this tests compare the 2D/3D performance across the different ROMs available for the users in this forums. For some people this might be important, like for me, since I have quite a few games in my Hero. Also it's important for people that cannot stand "lagginess" or "sluggishness" (I don't have a clue how to spell that...) in your home screen and/or browsing the ROM
Added Androbin 1.1110 & Defiance 2.1
Villain 3.4
NeoCore (with sound): 24.6
NeoCore (without sound): 29.9
Softweg (GPU test): 120
Favour
Could you do me a favour and chuck in a 1.5 ROM just for a sense of comparison, such as mr.bang performance rom. Just want to see how much of a 'gain' we get in terms of visuals from the switch to 2.1 if any at all, thanks
You should add Kagu Droid with JIT to the test.

Correct. It will not work as they have different ramdisk structures. That's why kernels are tagged AOSP or Sense. There have been a few exceptions in the past that have been compatible with both (I've only seen them for Inc 1 though). Also I believe this is a gingerbread only kernel.
backing up and throwing this on the cm7 nigthly... crosses fingers...
Interested to see if this fix's the Audio issue. Then it would get me to come back to MIUI and load this kernel..to many sound issues for me for now.
so far so good on cm7, haven't tried voice calls yet though to test volumes
clock choices are amazing.. must be 20 of them. ranging from 192mhz to 2035mhz. Don't think i'll be pushing my luck above 1300-1400mhz though

damn this must be pretty well known as a really good kernel.. i was using JDkernel and really happy but gonna have to check this out from a lot of your responses
just loaded this up made a test call.. the volume issue is fixed!!
this also fixed the crashing issue for miui music
I lied...just froze on me.
sent from an under rated phone
*edit* The call volume issue is indeed fixed
No issues so far, running it on OMFGB rom, froze setcpu so I could let the kernel at stock clock + the smartass governor do it's thing and see just how far I can squeeze the battery. So far I'm very impressed with this kernel.
If you're like me and have been endlessly flashing between CM7, MIUI, OMGB and OMFGB, Rmk's sense, etc and especially if you have tried other kernels, I'd highly recommend you wipe your battery stats after flashing this. I was a little worried after I first flashed it as I was draining pretty fast (not the fault of the kernel, just have to clean up after a shameless tweak like me gets a hold of something) but I wiped the stats and all systems are go now
One question I have is about the SBC feature mentioned on the FAQ on tiamat website. Is this included in this kernel and if so is it possible to turn it off somehow? I know its included for the Inc and evo - both probably because of the charging issue which the inc2 also has. So wondering if this was included for this kernel. Thanks again. Other than that its running nice and smooth. Hope to run it through the courses to see battery life differences if any

OK, so I came from the droid 2, where we didn't have kernels. So noob question incoming.
Does the kernel itself have settings, or would I use setcpu?
If the settings are built in, how do I get to them/change them?
Sent from somewhere over the double rainbow.
Things like clock speed and governor can be controlled through setCPU or the built in performance settings of cyanogenmod. Undervolting is built into some kernels, but I don't think there's a tool for customizing voltages on the incredible 2 yet.

So many comments are made about how fast a ROM feels, and I know that raw numbers don't completely convey this, but a comparison would still be beneficial.

What about comparing performance implies OC'ing? If you want to compare 2 cars do you have to increase their horsepower first? To me this thread is more about comparing benchmarks on different roms with similar clock speeds (OC or not) to allow people to get an idea of how one might compare to another performance wise.
Unofficial Aokp build 38 - aerovan v10.5 - 1113600khz - smart ass v2 - -1 step across the board for voltage

They surely aren't "useless" but they don't mean everything. If a phone gets a 2000 quadrant score it most likely will outperform a phone that gets 1500.

I, for one, would find some interest in a thread like this. On the flip side, I don't have any reason to read the thread about flashing other radios, but I also don't post in the thread saying the OP is stupid for creating the thread.
With that being said - maybe people can add a brief statement regarding if the rom they are posting about has been running on their phone for a while (ie, loaded with daily apps) or if it is a clean load.

I know the gnex is over a year old so it will be hard to keep up with new SOCs from S3, nexus 4....but I want to mod it so that it can keep up with the new SOCs. I am willing to give up battery life for speed. I am thinking over clock and custom ROM but I need recommendation on which one will provide what I needs. I want faster page load when browsing (I used dolphin browser), faster apps load like xda, Engadget...
What should I do?

ditch dolphin browser for one, that browser is nothing but lag.
If you want faster browser, i recommand opera mini, fastest browser ive ever used, although i personally will just stick with chrome, its not the the fastest, but it definitly is the most convenient for me due to bookmark/recent sync.
as for rom, i personally recommand cm10.1 + ak kernel, its working extremely well for me the phone is very responsive, good batery life even.
Flash a Rom that uses the Linaro tool chain and get Seeder from the market.

Thanks. I will do more research on the suggested ROMs.
For browser, I really like the features that dolphin offer (speed dial, tabs like chrome desktop, sidebar bookmarks...). I may stick with dolphin for now despite it's FC very often
No one like over clocking now a day?

Liquidsmooth is a fast stable rom. Cant go wrong with ak kernel. Setting your governor to performance will also increase the speed and responsiveness of your device
ATOM is fast!
It's probably impossible that anyone has tried all the various ROMS that are available on the XDA Galaxy Nexus forums :laugh:, but I have tried quite a few.
For me the one ROM that sticks out as being 'super fluid, fast and smooth' has to be ATOM by PrimeDirective.
I was testing other JB421 ROMS since it wasn't updated for a while, but not that it has been recently updated to JB421 its once again back on my GNEX. I find it smooth enough not to warrant OCing it. I also stick with the stock kernel, but I guess if you want it to go faster you could go with some other kernel.
I have linked to the maguro version, but if you are on another version then find it in the other forums.
The phone is fast enough as is. Linaro is placebo and Seeder doesn't even help performance either so ditch that recommendation.
Custom kernel will be your best bet and stay stock odexed rooted if all you care for is performance and not customization.

If it was fast enough there wouldn't be a need for new FASTER CPU's.
Even if linaro was a placebo it would still make the device faster in the users mind which turns the placebo into reality

Seeder helps with what he's asking for with faster app loading.

Completely wrong on both counts.
There will always be faster CPU's because there will always be new devices. It has nothing to do with "need" and everything to do with marketing. Even if less than 15% of the CPU was being taxed there'd be a new one with only 13% taxed just in time for next years models.
There is no "turns placebo into reality". The very definition of Placebo is:
Something of no intrinsic remedial value that is used to appease or reassure another.

By that very definition what you said is impossible.

True and I like being able to say my device can (somewhat) keep up with them
If your taking a placebo drug to make you eat less and you eat less because of it then placebo turned reality
Not trying to go back and forth with you just my opinion
Hi guys,
Following the development of CM11 for the Defy(+) by @Quarx, I decided to share the evolution of performance "Nightly".
The results were obtained from the average of 3 tests for each "Nightly", using two app for measuring performance: Quadrant and AnTuTu.
Configuration for testing:
CM11 Nightly (by @Quarx)
Defy+ (MB526)
CPU (OC): 300/20 600/35 900/50 1200/64
CPU (SC): 300/33 600/48 800/58 1000/62
Governor: Interactive
I/O: Deadline
Installation conditions: No clean install (version over version)
TWRP > Advanced Wipe > Dalvik Cache/Cache
Install > Nightly/GApps > Wipe Cache/Dalvik > Reboot System

Added test on SC (Stock Clock) at the request of @Blechd0se
* Random reboots occurred frequently in the early versions. For me no longer occurs since version 2014.01.24 (except version 2014.01.28, very problematic);
* Crashes occur on Google Search (maybe because I'm using GEL) and Aero Control in the first 4-5 reboots (it seems necessary to stabilize the unclean installs). After, no more crashes!
* @Quarx and @Blechd0se, the greatest variability between consecutive tests in both apps is about IO (reaching 40-60%), by showing up unstable;
BUG @Quarx (and @okij):
Camera: auto-focus doesn't work using size 3.7M (best aspect ratio - the same of screen);
Shortcuts from Apps moved to SD card disappear after reboot;
Battery Drain: 2014.02.08, 2014.02.09, 2014.02.10, 2014.02.11, 2014.02.12;
Battery charge bugs: 2014.02.18, 2014.02.19, 2014.02.20;
Additonal information:
_ Development-related forum (here);
_ Short Path to clean install (here);
_ Bug list by @okij (here);
_ CM11 by @Quarx (here);
_ BaNkS GApps (here) - use only Banks Minimal GApps;
_ For those interested, following link GEL (Google Experience Launcher);
Special thanks for the improvements in the kernel obtained by @Blechd0se!
Sorry for my bad english
Awesome work, keep with this !
Add
All tests were done with my device using all applications for daily use (added to BaNkS GApps, amounted 159 Apps), connected with the following services: Wi-Fi, Location, 2G/3G and Sync.

Welcome @Saturnal here on xda and thanks for this nice debut, well done! If possible, update your thread (preferably the opening post) when new nightlies are released.
I just announced your thread here on the CM11 development thread, because many users are mainly reading the dev thread and I think that your thread deserves some attention.
Great work, keep up!
Could you provide some subjective experiance about less measurable performance as well? I think the most interesting and important would be wake up time during calls (for me at least). In this manner it seems to be worse over time on my device (I also don't do clean installs).
Great work! For reference I Can aport my numbers in antutu I get 4789 with a Defy Red lens in the last CM10.2
Thanks for the info! It is nice interesting to see the difference between the builds (and between the effect on the different benchmark-types).
How precisely does it make sense to compare these numbers with benchmarks on other Defy's with other installed apps?
If meaningful, I might do a benchmark of my own Defy.
I ask this because I find my Defy on Wiui to bug/crash/slow down a bit too much lately (after a few months of using it) and therefore I'm thinking of trying another ROM. As I read that Kitkat in general was lighter on RAM-usage, I tought of looking at that direction. (I'm not that interested in the latest GUI etc., rather looking for stability, efficiency and performance.)
Very interesting. For what it is worth, I get AnTuTu score 4893 with 0126, and a score of 5074 with 0205 nightly. The phone is overclocked to 1200 MHz.

Sure! Is fairly smooth transition of screens (I'm using GEL). Keeps bug #31 (screen is half blacked out while getting incoming calls) and #26 (screen needs about 5 seconds to wakeup when a call is receive). Crashes occur on Google Search (maybe because GEL) and Aero Control in the first 4-5 reboots (it seems necessary to stabilize the unclean installs).

Thanks, but it's clear that I posted averages between 3 tests, so got higher values than those shown in the chart Moreover, different test conditions lead to different values.
:good:Keep doing tests and posting to help all users with more references!

Makes sense to analyze the variation of the benchmarks on the same device in pre-established conditions. So we can see which version is more optimized for use!
If you think about changing ROM, I strongly recommend CM11 by @ Quarx!:good:

I have red lense Defy with GB kernel and latest CM7. No OC, 1000mhz
Antutu score 3900.
Now what is interesting is that you have everything better exceptdatabase I/O. I have 360 and you 215. Hm, Storage I/O is again on your side and nearly double. Mine 425 against your 922+. What is holding down CM11 in this department I wonder.
It is interesting how much results differ. With 0205 nightly I now get consistently over 5200 with AnTuTu. Of course benchmarks results will not translate to real world performance, but 0205 feels very smooth. Telephony problems are gone too, after the build.prop fix.
On the hand, quadrant scores are lower than Saturnal's, average is 1557.

There is great variability in the score Storage I/O. Have found values between 271-956. See a test using Stock Clock 1000MHz.

It's an amazing score. If I get the best value of all tests pass little more than you found, reaching 5235 (AnTuTu).:highfive:
Very good work! Just a suggestion: could u add another benchmark app like basemark?

Thanks! But, there's a great variety benchmarks in market. I lose a lot of time to obtain consistent results. Unfortunatly, I can't comply your request. Moreover, basemark is focused on graphics performance, while our target is the entire hardware performance combined with CM11.:good:
