What are these scores for? I do not understand. Everybody seems to like posting scores, I just don't ever see myself showing scores like these to people I know who have android.

For Antutu it is a range of things but it's to show your phone/tablet's overall speed and performance. It tests CPU, ram, dalvik, GPU rendering, etc. It runs tests for each and gives you an overall score then shows you how your score stacks up to other devices. The scores posted are REALLY low which is why the user posted it. Although I think it would have been better if they were posted in the Vanir thread to be more easily seen by the devs.

I Never scored my phone while running vanir, but both times I ran It, It seemed much slower than other roms like carbon, liquid, ect. from recent.

Sheesh, what's up with that score?

Relevant Benchmarking

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.

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Quadrant is severely outdated.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.

What benchmarking app do you use?

I wanted to survey which benchmarking app is used most by t989 owners ... I use cfbench

I recently started using AnTuTu. I like that it shows your results in comparison to others and you get specific scores for each area tested.

BENCHMARK SCORES! - post your best scores!

Lets all post our Benchmarks!
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!

AOKP JB MR1 milestone 1.
Stock kernel. Both Cpu cores underclocked to 1.35 Ghz
Btw about 115 personal apps no mods at the moment.
Aaaaand with only one hour of screen time this is the battery life I get.

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

My buddies Nexus 4 scores around 20k with cm 10.1 and some random kernel. I can't wait to get rid of this thing and upgrade.
Also, I scores 3700 in Quadrant and around 9k in Antutu. Running stock CM 10.1.

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?

I don't know about you guys but I prefer stock rom and kernel.

Reason? Benchmark scores are higher.. Or is there something I'm doing wrong with rooting?

Man, benchmarks are useless. In fact a lot of roms with lower scores are better than some roms with very high scores. The same for the kernel. You have to see how battery life is, if there are lags, and what roms offers more than stock in terms of functions and look you have to know also that there are some scripts you can use to increase benchmarks's scores, but they are useless to the everyday usage.

I dont give a Damm to bench marks all i want is that i should be satisfied with my Phone, It should be the way i want it to be, Anyways Benchmarks are not going to get us any trophy :good:
You're using benchmarks. That's what you're doing wrong.

Why are most custom roms slower than stock?

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 wouldn't say that they are meaningless, but even so, I notice slight lag and a bit of a longer delay when opening and transitioning between apps, even before I have checked for benchmarks.

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?

It was slower for me too , tried cm 10.2 and even liquid smooth but just didn't feel as smooth as stock. Plus I've come to like sense far more than vanilla android
