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 ....

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

Kernals

Sorry guys if this is a bumped thread.. Couldn't find one that helped me at all.
Alright, I would like to know, What is a kernal. Ive flashed almost every rom possible but i havn't done anything with kernals.
Thanks

I've heard it stated as "a bridge between hardware and software." They control your processor speed for certain circumstances (screen off) and what voltage your processor gets at certain speeds. It can also come with different things like audio boost and enhanced multitouch capabilities (3+ finger input). Just remember to flash a sense kernel if you're on a sense or senseless ROM, or an aosp kernel for an aosp ROM. I always wipe dalvik cache and cache partition before installing a kernel, just to make sure theres going to be no problems.

So what your saying is , different kernals do different things twords performance ? And what is cm 7 rc2?

Correct, there are some overclocked kernels and some that are stock speeds, plus all of the different tweaks that can be applied. And CM7 RC2 is a ROM. CyanogenMod (ROM name) 7 (version) RC2 (release candidate). Its a pretty popular ROM.

Lmao no man, im running cm7, love it to death. What is CM7, aosp ? I know its senseless.

So not to jack your thread but its highly related to the question I've been asking today. I understand the description of a kernel above but then what would be the main differences between the kernel and the Rom of a device? Are kernels simply used to modify aspects of the phone such as processor speeds or do they also have something to do with the UI?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I dont think they have any effect on the UI

So besides just processor speed,what else could a different kernel affect?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

CM7 is AOSP.
Kernels don't affect the UI, they control processor speed mainly, but they can also come with patches that boost audio levels and enable fast charging or trickle-charge (SBC [when you charge your phone normally, it gets to 100% then stops charging regardless of being plugged in and runs off of the battery power til about 90% ish resulting in the infamous dropping 10% battery in like 5 minutes scenario. This mod enables the phone to drop its charging current once it hits 100% instead of turning off completely, maintaining the battery at 100%.]). Pretty nifty stuff

I'm not exactly sure about the BEST, cause different things happen to people when using the same kernel, but I've been using chads incredikernel from 3/18/11. No problems with it so far.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7 RC2.

I heard that kernel had smartsss governor ? What's that do .
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

Yep, it does. I'm not too familiar with what it does, but I've heard it basically favors lower CPU speeds, saving you some extra battery life. I've yet to notice any lag or slowness from running that governor. I get pretty good battery life with this kernel too, so I figured I'd stick with it.

Would calling a phone a car chassis, a ROM the motor and a kernal the driver be a good analogy?

[Q] Overclockable Scense kernals?????

Alright im having a real hard time with this. I have a scense rom and want to know if there are any overclockable kernals for it. I have not been able to get a strait answer on this and hope someone could help me. If there are what is a good one for battery life and charge time??

Ziggys471.com. they can be ocd an have good battery on z roms. What rom are you runnin.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

im running Inc Rom 1.6 and if i do believe i still had a problem with the ziggy kernals but i will try again due to my google account getting messed up from the playstation hacking that occured. since then all my emails went haywire.

i meant to say i factory reset my phone so i didnt save the ziggy kernal but i think it still had graphical glitch bars when i tried it.

Actually it wasnt overclockable thats why i didnt keep it its the same as all sence kernals. This is a bummer because i like sence roms for the camera and they have no overclocking kernals that i found yet

Then your doing something wrong. I have ziggys 3/12 bfs wo havs, and it goes to 1.22. Its stable at 1.113 for me. Are you allowing superuser for setcpu?

Chad's December Incredikernal for Sense is overclockable and works great.

well i use cpu boost lite but it seems all of the kernals i install for sence are only to 998 and i tried a few but i will look more mabe i used a stock style kernal. im not sure. but i will look more at them. thank u very much for your help i appreciate it

Try no frills cpu, its free in the market

Cm7 and over clocking

So I have a quick question for people running cm7. I am running cm7 with aveon 6 kernal. I was just wondering what over clock speeds do you guys use?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App

Dl no frills CPU and test for yoursef, each phone runs defferently and with no frills u can set as boot but if it is not a proper shutdown it will not set just in case it was due to the oc/ UV. Hope this helps and I run 1.5 ghz
Tap'n on miui incredible 2

Plus one on NoFrills. I'm using Aeroevans .7bfs kernel set at 1.2ghz and using the Sio I/O on nightly 133. This works well for me. Good balance of speed and battery life.

OCing over 1.2 is useless unless you want battery to die fast
Running tiamat 1ghz gives me 30hrs on moderate
1.2 about lil more than a day
Tiamat is supposedly come out with new kernel this weekend or next.

I noticed you can't undervolt with areovans kernal. Or am I just using the wrong app? cause undervolt options don't show in voltage control

I'm using oc/uv beater app with aerovans. 7 bfs and can undervolt. Which app are you using?

With cm7 I actually like to underclock to around 800 with interactiveX. I have hit 1.9 stable using the smooth ass governor, and when I want to over clock I usually go for 1.2 or 1.4

Jeez, guys. Y'all are gonna burn out your processors running at speeds like that.

Over clocking

Are there any kernels that can be over clocked on ics?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Use tegrak, also use search we just had this thread two days ago... no custom kernels until we get kernel source
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

tegrak works.. SLIGHTLY... YOU CAN take it to 1.7ghz but it seems to slow the system down alot... 1.4ghz is ifffy.... kinda fast but lags at times... 1.3ghz works good... improves benchmark scores by about 200-300 points.. Realy id do like these guys say and wait on custom kernal maybe this weekend thst alows TRUE overclocking :+)

Yeah it would be nice to get a quicker response from the phone. All the ics roms kinda lag but it is what it is I guess.
