What have you guys found to be the best benchmark for comparing results of changes you may make to settings, roms, overclocking, etc. I know some have beef with quadrant but that's all I was familiar with.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I haven't looked around for a new benchmark but after quadrant scored my gnex a little under the n1 I deleted it and will never use it again.
I've heard a lot of people say there are problems with quadrant and it doesn't give true scores but I just now realized how off it can be sometimes!
Quadrant is severely outdated.
I would use the benchmarking programs that Anandtech uses here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5198/motorola-droid-razr-review-a-better-clad-bionic/8

These look like recreated charts to represent multiple benchmarking tools. Is there just one or two standards anyone recommends?

GLBenchmark, Vellamo, and Linpack are all available on the market, try those.
I've also had some luck with Smartbench 2011, which will use multiple cores.
There's pass mark too.

Anybody with questions about the speed of Calk's Rom, here it is. Not sure how this compares with other, more modern phones. Quadrant seems a bit out dated at the moment. This is at forced 1.6 ghz with the LoST kernel Exp build. I don't particularly trust the kernel that gets up to 1.8 ghz..

Try it with Renegade kernel.
It is extremely fast!
I'm loving it but I'm just wondering how to add TSMParts (such as multiple lockscreens like Starburst has or extended toggles). With those tweaks, this would be nearly perfect.

You realize that none of these "fast" roms are actually faster than stock?
All of them use various tricks to improve the sd card score without affecting the cpu/gpu scores. Quadrant is a flawed benchmark susceptible to cheating that way.
None of those "high" scores truly translate to real world performance improvements.

Who gives a damn?
Kernels don't "go to" megahertz. Your hardware can either handle it or it can't.
Get any kernel which allows cpu voltage tinkering, and figure out your best speed.

First off bench scores are about the same with any Rom depending on the Kernel and they really mean nothing other then posting them.
I have and i am still on this Rom right now but all i get are reboots and when i do reboot my phone loops and i have to flash all over again.
And yes i wipe all before i flash.

So CyanogenMod10 has to be by far my most favorite rom for my sgs3. But check out these benchmark Scores. The lower score is on the cm10 rom and the higher score is on the stock rom (all while rooted of course) are there any fixes to this or does CyanogenMod have to find a fix for this?

Even thought you measure your phones ability to perform based on a quadrant app and i don't, I'll still tell you how to fix it. Flash the ktoonsez kernel for aosp. It'll be much quicker.

Purpose of quadrant score? To show your E-Pen15 is bigger then someone elses. Seriously.. they are tooo easily faked. If your phone is performing up to your standards.. then that's all that should really matter.

It's true tho... Benchmarks really don't make a difference.. You can have high marks (Acturate) and still have a craptastic time with the device. All comes down to the person who uses it. Your opinion is the only one who really matters. So who cares what a program says.. Does it perform and do things you want? That's all that does matter. (Just my opinion on this whole thing) I've seen several post with benchmarks and yada yada.. lol.. Who cares!

I'll agree with you, That kernel is awesome. (AGAT63's kernel is as well) Currently running TPR and Ktoonz.
Stock ROM is much smoother than cm10. Much smoother... So benchmark may be accurate.

Bench marks don't lie completely, stock rom is optimized to run fast with touchwiz and cm10 is not . You can tell the speed difference ,that's why people make the kernels to speed it up.

He's very right, for many many reasons benchmarks don't reflect experience or efficiency everything from how well wrote they are to how they execute to extensions supported to the fact benchmarking assumes performance as absolute or averaged results but fails to present the constant.....

I am using Antutu Benchmark found at the play store for free
I am currently running the Infamous1.5 ROM based on android 4.1.2
with the Infamous kernel .7.4 by Jamison904
BTW... I have about 85 or so personal apps installed in this mod
I am also running the World Weather Clock Widget at the same time
and I am not running any kernel tweaking software...
here is my score...
btw what is benchmark?

a benchmark is basically a set of tests to see how fast your phone is running
here is the dictionary meaning...
bench·mark
/ˈbenCHˌmärk/
Noun
A standard or point of reference against which things may be compared or assessed.
Verb
Evaluate or check (something) by comparison with a standard: "we are benchmarking our performance against external criteria".
if you want to compare your device to others
go to playstore and download Antutu Benchmark and run it
I know my device would score low...I'm setup for stability and battery life.
Those with really high scores are tweaked for Max performance and probably carry an a/c charger in their pockets!

Actually I posted a benchmark and mentioned that screen was on for one hour. It was mainly a response to an earlier post about high performance means battery sacrifice. More people on this forum need to learn the balance between power vs stability/battery. Not directed at anyone in particular btw

That's great and all, but hardly surprising. It's about double in scores because it has double the cores. Personally for me this would have no positive effect on my phone usage, but I would have a worse camera and have to use an lcd screen.

Yea.. not for me. A much faster phone would be nice. The Nexus 4 is much faster and smoother on all fronts. I've had 3 t989s and the camera is absolutely nothing to write home about. Compared to an exynos powered GS2, the sensor on this camera sucks.. and don't say theyre the same because they are not. SAMOLED is awesome but outdoors it's a pile of sh*t.
Point is, to each their own.

Damn! This is really amazing.What ROM are you running?
Hi guys, I absolutely mean no disrespect to any developer, but nearly any rom I've tried so far with the exception of bonestock and eclipse not only "feels" a little slower, but scores about half of what it would be if I was on the stock rom.
Is this merely a side effect of running a rom the phone is not made for? As more roms are polished is it possible to meet or exceed stock performance?
All the roms I've tried so far score about 6,000 to 7,000, while stock would get about 12,500, for example.
Again, absolutely no disrespect to any developers as all work very hard to give us the choices we have today. I'm merely curious, is all.
Thanks!

I used to be a benchmark junkie too until I realized that a few hundred or thousand points in benchmarks had little to no effect on my user experience with a ROM as a whole. Furthermore, benchmark scores can be inflated. You can max out your specs for benchmark purposes, but are you really going to be using all cores on max speed with performance governor throughout the day? My guess is, likely not.
In regards to transitions in ROMs, you can always mess with the developer settings to reduce the animation time for a quicker, smoother transition. I prefer the .5x setting, but your preferences may vary.
I prefer custom ROMs over stock for their levels of customization. Nothing better than to be able to tweak my phone to my own liking. Stock ROMs usually don't have the little extras that make Android a truly personal and enjoyable experience.
Overall, it comes down to what you prefer. For some, its a stock or close-to-stock interface with great performance. Others may prefer a more customized ROM that may or may not sacrifice performance and compatibility, but suits their needs better.
TL;DR User experience is more important than benchmark scores.

I believe a recent Anandtech article mentioned that manufacturers, check for specific benchmarking apps and then optimize their running to get inflated scores. Stock Android, Motorola, and Apple don't have those checks and their benchmarks can be "trusted".
Besides benchmarking scores, does the phone itself just feel a bit slower for any of you guys when running custom roms? Like when you scroll in settings or in a Web browser, or opening an app?
