I regularly flash new roms to see what's around but I'm curious about how accurate quadrant scores for each are? Some roms seem faster but get lower quadrant scores than others that feel slow? If quadrant's no good, what's a good ap for testing speeds of different roms?
general use is the best test
No.
If you really have to rely on benchmarks, AnTuTu seems to be better.
No, you can easily cheat to get an amazing score with quadrant. Even more proof is the fact that my captivate with a score of 1600 will run as smooth as my sgs 2.

Hello XDA
This is my first tome to start a thread, hopefully I do it right
I am just confused on how ROMs show High Benchmark results in there screenshots, but when I try to do a benchmark on my Ace I get a VERY Low result compared to what it's supposed to be, Though I have made sure no apps are running in the background, and cleared my RAM, even after checking the Media tweak, Still Very low result, Can anyone Clarify me on how to make my phone better or is that I am doing something wrong?
I am using the glmst v2 KPO ROM
Don't even worry about it. With coderom I had 1927 max. Now with gingerReal I only get 1000+, but I feel this rom much better. So I dont rely anymore on quadrant scores. I suggest you to do the same.
even if u got trillion benchmark score it doesnt mean anything.. nowadays benchmark score is crap, doesnt mean a squat. i said that because gingerbread had some problem with quadrant, thus its result is inconsistent. even there are rom makers that spoof quadrant score by tinkering with phone i/o value to make their rom looks like it got highest benchmark score. i even found an app here on xda that automate that i/o spoof, install it and u'll get godlike quadrant score.
edited: the app to spoof benchmark score like i said is that in skynet post below. that should spike anyone quadrant score to 5000
Quadrant benchmark does not mean anything....its only relevant for lagfix or filesystem changes or some kernel tweaks. Otherwise it can be hacked easily to show high benchmark scores. Someone even showed quadrant benchmark above 2100 in ace by an app which hacked quadrant .
Yes there is even an app called quadrant booster which utilizes i/o hack to boost scores by Doomlord here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17110408
Ok thanks guys..... Its that it gets annoying when u dont get what the rom promises ya
What is your score
Mine is 2339
Don't know how ttat competes with other tabs or if it will improve once fully released

Something you may find useful. a lot of times, people with higher quadrant scores complain about lagginess of their devices.
There are 2 reasons for that:
1) quadrant scores don't measure real-world performance
2) some people write their kernels for the purpose of yielding higher quadrant scores (without noticeable improvements for day-to-day use).
for what its worth around 2390 or 2990 i cant remember
edit just ran it and got 3123
I got 3396 using 192-1728 MHz and OnDemand configuration.
Quadrant is a piece of crap, it's, like, the worst benchmark in Market. Forget about it.
1.its an alpha
2. the Hardware alone is Superior then the Xoom/Galaxy tabs.
so look up the results for those then judge it. or w.e u want,
its not showing its full potential.
Hey there, I've recently rooted my phone, and want to test various kernels, and possibly even ROMs, what can I use to test them?
Antutu Benchmark, Quadrant is out-dated
Sent from my LG-Stone from the Prehistory....
Naaaahh... Just kidding!
CM7.2 Temasek KANG P204-35
Vadonkas KANG kernel (13-01-2012) 32MB Ramhack Powersave
The only real test is real world use. Scores can be faked by rom edits but don't do anything for real performance at all.
agreed with zelendel. what matters is the stability and the actual smoothness of transitions/animations. i would prefer a rom that can get 1000 on quadrant that is super smooth than one with 3500 that doesn't feel snappy at all.
Antutu Benchmark is the most used now but as said above a benchmark is not something to reveal the real "feeling" of your phone.
Of course using a benchmark you'll see different scores among your different roms and versions... and sometimes it will let you feel better or... worse
Thanks guys.
Yes, I know that sometimes it will actually be different from the scores and feel better with a ROM that has scores that are a bit lower, but still I'd like to have some kind of measurement.
Here is my issue, i decided to randomly run quadrant and found out i had bad results.
Around 3000, i had very low memory and i/o scores, memory being 2000 and i/o around 5000. I then flashed speedmod kernel and got even lower results, 2811 quadrant and 1500 memory, which is far from the default expected values. This happened in GB whith checrom V6 and Siyah Kerner, CM9 and SlimICS with both speedmod and fluxx kernel.
Antutu scores are lower then 6000 ranging from 4900 with SlimICS 5400 with GB and 5300 with CM9, i got back to Slim and cleared cache and got 5900, but quandrant still was performing poorly
You shouldn't rely on quadrant scores to decide whether the ROM is good or not, you should make that judgement for yourself. Sometimes, developers of ROMs make tweaks to purposely increase the quadrant scores.

I was just trying to see if there was something wrong with my phone. Not that i would keep the highest numbered ROM. That's why i got worried, the scores were low in almost all of them
Really want to test, flash stock rom and see the numbers flying

you can try using different kernels with different cpu governors to see a difference in benchmarks.
Bench marking and quadrant scores are for *******.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Basic problem is benchmarks vary from one run to another and are not reliable .
jje
Will a higher score change the way you use your phone?
What difference do the scores mean? Does it make your phone unuseable when you get a lower score? What answers are you hoping to get?
Dont use benchmarks....they arent needed, we already know our phone is fast...just use the phone and enjoy it

Its all relative to the rom you're using. CM9 I found scored lower on benchmarks, but on real life usage people report better performance
CM7 scored higher for me then stock based GB roms, quite comfortably. So that was the other way round.
However, WanamLite ICS which im using now scores between 6200 and 6300 for me, highest being 6330.
Again its all very relative to the rom you're using. If you're really that bothered flash a stock based ICS rom, run some benchmarks, see the higher values, get content, then either stick or go back to CM based roms with whatever wisdom you've aquired!
By the way all the above was using Antutu.
i am a bit of a benchmark nerd, and i was wondering what would be the best combination of rom/kernel overclock settings etc... to get the best benchmark scores i can get on our device?
Flash them. Use them. Judge for yourself. Benchmarks are useless and are only really for people who wanna compare how big their balls are. I've run some ROMS that scored low bench marks but ran really smooth.
Like Phalanx said, benchmarks are utterly useless. I've ran hd games at a smoother frame rate on lower-score benchmarked roms than on ridiculously high-scored roms.
I could make you a rom that scored over 9000 in benchmark but runs slow and crappy. As stated above benchmarks mean next to nothing.
