Consistantly low benchmark scores. Antutu & Quadrant - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 *******.

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.

[Q] Quadrant score

Hi there. Why am i getting only about 1000 quadrant score, while everyone getting somewhat like 1500 on the same roms?
Do i have a different hardware or what?
Different roms will get you different results. Gingerbread roms appear to run around 1000+ while Froyo roms run closer to 1300+. Run it a few times and you should get a better score. Quadrant doesn't really matter too much though. What's important is how the phone feels for you not what a graphic tells you.
Thanks for reply, but the problem is that i'm having different results than people on the same rom.
And does the quadrant score affects on how smooth the games are running?
Do you have a lot of apps installed on your internal memory? The "cleaner" the phone is the more optimized. Junk apps will definitely decrease performance. As for running games, quadrant doesn't affect how smooth your game is running but does show performance measures that could be related to efficiencies of your phone. Theoretically, the higher the quadrant score the better your phone will be at running your games.
What file system are you using...quadrant takes your free space for apps in score consideration..
If your using data2sd and have 2gb for internal(ext2,3,4) then quadrant is going to show a better score than those on rfs.

No, i have taken stats from fresh install, also tried different roms, but never got higher than 1000.

No, i am not using data2sd and i guess those people who get higher score than me not using it too.

Need to edit.
refer to reinderro's build thread, which I can't find now.

Oh ok..
But my point was having lesser apps and having more. Internal space will increase the quadrant..
Sent from my GT-I5800 using Tapatalk
Which rom(s) are you using?
FYI - Fresh install of 2.1 will only get you around 500. JIT enabled gets you around 600+, removing additional junk apps will get you 700+. 2.2 Roms will get you over 1000+ easily. Z's Froyo beta 3 got me around 1500+. Others including Gingerbread hover around 900-1300.
I have tried CM7.0.3 J020c and trip's froyo.
In both roms my quadrant is about 1000, but for other people trip's rom giving them about 1400-1500.
I am on wolfbreaks rom..(as per my signature)
The only other thing i do is move all aps to the sd card that can be moved and leave the ones with widgets on my internal memory.
I average about 1450 to 1550 with my best score of 1609.
Run it a few times as well..
On J's rom I run around 900-1200. Never tried running quadrant on Trip's froyo but on his Arc rom I get around 1000-1250. Again, quadrant isn't that big of a deal. Your games will run fine on your phone. Remember, try to have more free internal memory and get rid of junk apps you don't need.
on wolfbreaks rom. i move all apps to the sd card (except widgets)
1300 - 1400
Okay, thank you, guys, quadrant isn't important, but it's kinda wierd that i'm having lower stats than other people.

Its not weird at all. Everyone has different apps and settings which affect benchmarks differently. Higher Quadrant scores don't neccessarily translate to better performance either so why does it matter. Also in order to get reliable scores in quadrant you need to run it twice in a row as the OS will kill apps and adjust as the test runs the first time and the second test is always higher and more consistent.

[Q] Benchmark Results

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

Horrible Quadrant Score?

Hi all
I'm using the TSM Resurrection v0.1 ROM released by TeamSBrissen. Running comradesven's kernel he made.
I'm curious as to why my quadrant scores are so horrible. See these screenshots:
(running at overclock 1400mhz. No undervolting)
Any ideas are very much appreciated. I also tried undervolting all steps to -250mv, and my phone did crash, so I'm sure its reporting properly
Have you flashed the adrenaline v7 tweak? Also you might want to try backing down the overclock speed. Start at stock settings and run quadrant after each change, when the score drops, revert back to the last settings.
Quadrant is worthless. If you are personally satisfied with your phone's performance then that's all you need.

this is very true. I dont use it for a peak number, but rather a guage to see if my changes yielded better/worse results.

[Q] help in overclocking

i have franco kernel 2.6.35.14 & overclocked at 729 using setcpu
Why my quadrant score is only 886, have seen some quadrant result for optimus one that reaches around 2000. How they do it?

886 - suppose you use stock Gingerbread, it's normal as it's not optimised and doesn't have the performance patches found in oxygen or cyanogenmod rom. Actually all it matters is user experience - if it's smooth enough and can handle other things good enough you don't need to care about benchmarks, and benchmarks are just for showing off.
Reaching 2000+ is a result of using a2sd and its variants. It doesn't really matter as it's only a small little boost to performance.
Dude use antutu benchmark..quadrant is no longer reliable ..it shows fake results with a2sd n 0ther shyt..you know what ? When i was on miks rom +franco kernel+ungaze+zram i got a score of 2600..but performance was nt that great n battery drain was huge ..now wid 2.3.3 based roms like openoptimus,blackbird ,aga etc my phone is even smooth n efficicient..however a differenece of 250~ (antutu)is ppssible between cyan roms etc nd official gingerbread based ones..
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using xda premium
Antutu isnt a good benchmark too, with a better SD you will have a better score... Nenamark is another good benchmark
None of the scores really matter, its just the user experience which matters
yup got the answer result is not important.
After installing franco kernel phone became smooth as butter with increase in speed by overclocking.
Thanks Guys

What are the best apps for benchmarking at the moment?

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.
