So many people uave downloaded the new Nero V4 with the 1.4ghz kernel and have no issues. And some phones have crashed and not worked with that kernel.
Cpu tuners seem to work great at saving battery for other people and seem to killing mine more than without it. Even with same settings.
Do these apps work on some phones because of hardware compatibilities? Please help. These cpu tuners seem to harm my battery rather than save them.

yea it happen to me to is dat app cpu tuner dat slows down da phone cause i had it downloaded and its started moving slow...............
Try set cpu. I'm using it and I love it. I am not overclocked though. I have mine set to 200 mhz low and 1000mhz (1ghz) high conservative. I only overclock when playing games that require the extra speed.

Yea i wanna try... just that i dont know if it will be a waste because i tried to many overclock apps and they all fail. I hear both good and bad things about it. I mean good reviews and bad reviews. So i think it might vary phone to phone.

I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but I'm really not buying that "it varies from phone to phone". The only differences I know of is that newer Vibrant's don't have the gps issue and they have the 3 button issue with them where you can not boot into recovery. Other than that I think all Vibrant's are built the same.

Hey all you Eris heads, i was wondering if anyone has tips on making Angry Birds run faster on our lil Eris'es. I love my phone and Angry Birds but the lag is bad. Im running setCPU at 710 max, 245 min priority 100. Anything i can do to increase the speed?? I really wanna kill pigs faster
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
All you need is 2 9v batteries, three of those metal cored garbage bag twisties, and 2 rolls of ducktape.
But if you do figure out a way, I would give props.
The lag is not eris specific, it is being reported on a lot of devices. I'm sure the revs will get it worked out.
BTW this is not a dev related post, should be moved to the apps thread.

If you're rooted check out adfree in the market, makes a huge difference, actually playable now.

Downgrade to v1.3.5. There are some missing graphics here and there but its much faster on the Eris than the current 1.4.2.

That's only to a degree. The lag is about the same once you get half way thru the second part of level one. At least that has been my experience.

Turning off the radio helps (via airplane mode) helps, but the graphics are still hard to handle.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
I don't see why graphics would be the issue here. I play much more graphic intensive games that work way better then my experience with angry birds. The ads, now that I think about it, could be the culprit. Going to try the suggestion made earlier to block the ads and see if the performance is increased.

Not exactly.
Some of the Vibrants just can't handle ANY overclocking at all, they just freeze, and reboot too much because your processor is being worked too hard when it can't do it.
If you have a normal, regular vibrant, then yeah you can such as me, i can overclock as much as i want, i've gone to 1.4 with no problems...
but some people do have the problem, and having that can burn the plastic in your phone (its happened to a few over the year)

Yep.
Mine can run at 1.4 EASY with no heating up at all (I was surprised).
I wish there was a 1.6+ kernel, so I could push this processor to the max.
To understand the limits of the Vibrant's processor it's important to understand processors in general.
The process of manufacturing for a processor is not perfect. You get pristine chips and below standard chips; so essentially no two processors are the same just like fingerprints. So what they do for quality control is stress test each one individually within a specific range. If it can handle 1Ghz up to 1.x then it passes, if it can't hit 1Ghz minimum then it's destroyed/recycled (or whatever numbers Samsung in this case felt were reasonable). It's the only way to ensure every device functions the same.
Now translate that into people's individual phone. In essence it's the luck of the draw. Did you get the perfect manufactured chip? Only way to tell is to over clock it and stress test it. Some people get the perfect one, and others get the ones that barely made the cut. It works the same for all electronics.
Hope this information helped.

I used to be getting 3200-3600 on my gs 2 but ever since I flashed unnamed 1.3 and icscrewed 1.1 I've been getting score ranging from 2800-3200
Is this suppose to happen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
The numbers mean absolutely nothing as far as how the phone runs. If they go up or down doesn't mean anything unless you like showing off your epeen....
Benchmarks don't mean that much (except large differences 1000+). How quick does the phone respond? Does it feel fast? If so great. If not, keep working.

I'm not a least bit regret about flashing unnamed because my phone is ridiculously fast right now.
I guess quadrant score really doesn't mean anything lol

really? you should be getting around 9,999,999 if you're using quadrant. thats about how accurate that app is. its a worthless piece of junk that you shouldn't use to measure the speed of your device dude. just use your phone and weight it out from real-world user experience.

Android doesn't have lag. It suffers from low framerate at times, but latency is not the issue.
That said, the only place I ever see low framerate is when I have a huge widget list to scroll through.

Okay, just gave 1.1 a shot. Apps are in fact loading up faster when pressed but that's the only thing I notice so far. Can't have a final say on anything else because it's so hard to tell on a Quad Core device with Jelly Bean. But thanks for letting us know of this.
Haven't tried it myself but....
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/
There are valid concerns about lag and how the Android OS handles them, and there is discussion currently ongoing within the Android Code about this, but this fix does not address those issues and instead gives performance gains through boosting CPU speed. The developer himself stated that this could in effect reduce battery life, since the hack is waking the CPU every second.

I haven't noticed any battery difference on either device. Its also tough to say whether or not it did much for the Note 2 because this phone is already butter stock (with the occasional hiccup)

I grabbed this a few days ago when you mentioned it on CTO (thanks buddy). I notice apps opening noticably faster when it's running. I have it set to "start automatically on boot" but any time I "remove all" from a home button long press, which I do after I've been on my phone for a while, the app stops running and I forget to restart it. I wish it would persist that.

My theory is that people are launching apps before and then enabling it and testing those apps. Thing is, they are all loaded and load instantly.
I rebooted between my tests. :

I gave it a try but I feel the Note 2 is so freaking fast already that it wasn't necessary, with that said, there are definitely many other phones that I've owned where I noticed slowness immediately after rooting, so for those phones I wish I had this.

Not bad for a placebo app
I tried explaining the the thread that Steve Kondik isn't endorsing the app like they think he is. He performed his own tests, with his own compiled code and saw some inexplicable results.
Seeder didn't do anything for him on any device he has.
A moderator deleted it though, conveniently. They of course left behind the part where CM is allegedly endorsing it though.
Just wondering what other's benchmark scores were on Antutu? Do you have your phone OC'ed? Mine was always around 8200 however after trying out a new kernel to fix my call audio issue the benchmark fell to 7800.. Is that a big difference? It seems that all of the devices scoring over 9k are all on 4.1.2, is there really anything to that? Just kind of wanted to get a discussion going since I do not see any other threads about it on the Q&A section.
Edit- Well I just moved my apps back to the sd after doing all of the flashing and now it's back up to 8228!
Good info. Did you run the stability tests also and were they the same at the higher speeds. Also are you using the paid version or free? Thanks
Edit: Mine were only 7377. And I see there is no paid version. Seems I have work to do to speed things up..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Of course no comparison between users is possible because speeds depend more on the cellular/data traffic at the tower you are connected to than the ROM/modem you are trying to measure.
These measurements can be slightly useful for a user to compare ROMs/modems in the area they typically use their service.
Your difference of 400 is the size of a text message, so no, not significant. But it feels better, I'm sure.
It's checking the speed of the CPU, ram, video and SD card read/ write right? What difference would modem and such have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The OP mentioned call audio issues, and benchmarks, so I thought he was measuring network speed. If I assumed incorrectly, please forgive me.
Yeah maybe your right now that I re-read it. And I just loaded the program so really don't know what all it measures..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I was more or less just wondering if the stats were changed based on what kernel or ROM you may be running or if there was something else that could change the performance. After seeing the sgs4 benchmarks I feel like that phone must be the smoothest thing ever because it is head and shoulders better scores than the note.
