[Q] aosp + benchmarking - HTC Rezound

First off, let me say that this is more a question out of curiosity so I can learn more about the android system then real concern.
That having been said, I have noticed that AOSP roms consistently score lower on benchmark software (Antutu to be exact) then Sense based roms, even though its immediately obvious that the AOSP roms are faster in the "real world". I have read on another phone's forum that it was OpenGL based for that phone, is it the same thing for our Rezounds, or are there other factors at work?
I do realize that benchmark scores are not the end all for performance representation, however the fact remains that there has to be something that is bringing down the AOSP score, hence why this is a question of curiosity .

That is an observation I have not made. The scores are pretty much the same for me. Just ran a 6336 on Antutu. Without overclocking, I run about the same on Sense.

I just had to rerun to make sure I wasn't making an a** of myself....
Both runs were using Neo's roms (adrenaline and rage)
on adrenaline with dsb's kernel and no OC I got a 7125
on rage running the bundled kernel i got a 6577

I've never seen over 7k on this phone without some heavy overclocking. What version of dsb's kernel are you using? A lot of them don't hold stable clocks. Try a benchmark with the stock kernel. It's a much more fair test since the AOSP is basically stock.

I was running his 2.01 kernel with 192 min and 1.5 max using smartassv2 gov for the posted score.
Will have to get back to you on the stock kernel numbers as I am currently back on AOSP since I am playing around with themeing it, however for what it's worth this phone consistently (10-12 different benchmark runs) scored between 7000 and 7200 on the dsb kernel.

Yup I got over 8200 with my friends class 10 card in... With the standard one I get just under 7800 with OC and around 7200 without on DSBs kernel on 2 different roms...
Does anyone even use geekbench?

Well Rezound is built for sense so you can expect it to be, but once we get a working OC kernel you will see asop jump up in benchmarks

In Antutu, I get around 6500 with "stock" based Sense 3.6 roms. Then Sense 4 came out and the Antutu scores are 1000 higher, my top was 7700. I don't know why Sense 4 runs so much faster, especially since it was ported to our phone. AOSP I think scores were in between, 7000 range? But I'm not certain. Anyway Sense 4 is blisteringly fast, Sense 3.6 is garbage, and AOSP roms are the fastest going between apps/launcher. Once AOSP gets more solid, I will probably switch full time, but ViperREZ Sense 4 has sooooooo many features (and speed) it is hard to put down.

The worth of the new Atrix OC kernels...

I've been running some really basic tests on the new Roms and kernels that are starting to pop up and I want to know if any of you agree with me on this. While using Cherryblur v1.4d and the stock ATT kernel I can get around 3500 on Quadrant Standard (I know its not the best benchmarking tool out there). Thats on a fresh reboot 2nd run. Then I flashed Faux123 OC, pushed the clock speed to max 1.1 and min 1.1, set on boot, ran the same test. Fresh reboot, 2nd run and got the exact same score...weird. So if this is the case whats the point of the OC? Has anyone else seen similar results? Or is there perhaps something I'm missing?
Hi,
You are only overclocking by 10%, even if it was 50%, Quadrant is not a cpu benchmark, what will impact it most is the 3D bits and the database tests. Data2Ext on the htc legend will almost double the scores with a fast external sd card used for data.
For these kernels you should be asking yourself, where did the source come from and is it a later version than what is compiled stock, and was it even designed for the Atrix?
Cheers!
Ya...quadrant isn't really designed for CPU but I'm pretty sure it takes it into some type of performance boost. Like on my Nexus the same .1 overclock boosts the Q score a good bit.
Yeah, quadrant scores are sketchy at best.
My cm7 nook color OC'd to 1300 scored 3100+

Overclock stability?

I have noticed that most kernels are overclockable to 1863mhz and higher. Are some phones actually stable at these clock speeds? I ask because mine will only stay stable at 1736mhz. This is with any ROM/kernel combination. Are all phones a little different in the aspect of what they can handle?
What are you guys stable at?
Sent by my Supercharged dual core from the 3rd Dimension
Yeah each cot core is a little different as to how much it can be overclocked. I was only stable at 1.7 something.
I always have it at max. 1836 (highest possible with my kernel) with scaling ondemand. No unstability so far....
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using xda premium
Definitely changes from phone to phone, I've had 4 ThreeVOs and each one had its own tolerance. My latest can only get up to 1.7 before becoming unstable, the first one I got could only go up to 1.5(!) and the last one I had got to 2.0 before it crashed altogether (wish I still had it D: ).
Unfortunately because of a less than perfect manufacturing process and a few different revision numbers each phone is different. So far I haven't been able to go past stock and never get a crash. Even one crash a week is unacceptable to me.
It also will depend on a few other factors though, like kernel, firmware, OS, voltage and temperature, so I personally haven't had the time to play around with the variables you can manipulate to increase stability. It can be done though, without getting a new phone.

[Q] How benchmarks fared on HC ?

anyone tried benchmarks on honeycomb...? please share some results.... that will help all decide to update to HC or not on performance grounds....
thnx
Which benchmarks. Will depend if user is running a rom

general ones quadrant, linpack ,pi ,antutu , browsermark and others... i was asking about official rom HC 3.2.1
benchmark
I ran the Quadrant app. dont know much about it, guess I did it correctly- I ran the full benchmark and my device scored 2096. I've ran it 3 times, each time it scores between 1900-2000 range. my device is a stock View 4G upgraded to Honeycomb through system updates. I updated over wifi, I don't have a sprint data plan. hope this helps-
Quadrant is same as it was on GB interesting!!! 3D n 2D benchmark scores on GB were quite low... i guess honeycomb wont affect these thing these r mainly depend on GPU n processor...
there will b just marginal difference...
With Nenemark2 i get 23-25 fps on Honeycomb
GB it was around 12-14 fps
Vellamo between 850-1100 - dont remember GB results
I would ask you not to mention specific ROMs
When the HD2 came out, the first months it was all about benchmark results...
There were ROM ranking lists based on benchmarks... but the comunity realized fast this was pure bull**** so it stopped after a while
Cooks optimized only for specfic benchmarks to get on top casue people started looking only at results... which often had nothin to do wit real life performance

after reading thing i might move to honeycomb .... so we get improved graphics perfomance.....
and vellamo was 820 on GB...
so flyer was under powered with GB...
i heard 1.5 ghz processor was also under powered so i guess bechmark pi will also give better result...
thanx man please test some more on HC... antutu gave a bad score with GB

it's not an argument, I clearly state, that this is to "ME" on "MY" phone,
also, I'm not trying to trick my benchmarking app, what I've seen over 28 weeks is a clear indication, to "ME" on "MY" phone , that ui is smoother and faster on higher benchmark scores, simple as that
Well duh, having an overclocked CPU results in higher benchmarks because the phone can complete things faster. This translates to a smoother UI.
The problem is that benchmarks are affected by so many things that might not reflect accurately the performance of the phone. And comparing different phones is useless because of skins and different hardware performing better in tests but worse in real life.
Faster CPU = higher benchmarks and smoother UI. That doesn't mean that higher benchmarks = smoother UI.

No, not, duhhhhh, overclocking also causes instability in some cases, more so if incorrect/not optimized voltages per frequency and governor in kernel, and smooth ness is affected

Anybody who knows anything about overclocking knows to make sure it's stable..
Seriously, if you think your high quadrants means your phone outperforms the leaked scores of a quad core Tegra 3 phone by almost double, then you're in denial.
Let me put this in words you can understand.
Faster clock speed = faster graphics and calculations.
Faster clock speed = higher benches.
Higher benches != better performance. They're just linked.
Sure, if you're pulling over 4000 in quadrant, your device is performing quite well. But that doesn't make your Evo 3D a super phone twice as good as the rest of ours.
There are so many factors involved that simply saying "my quads are high, and that indicates performance" is ignorant and naive. Once you can explain to me how your phone "performs" better than a quad core device, then maybe I'll spare your thoughts my time.

I can't wait to see where this thread goes from here. Also, my phone is completely usable, fast, smooth, and has amazing battery life and I just scored an 1100 on Antutu. Benchmarks are worthless except to raise your eEsteem. See my thread about GeekBench from a few nights ago for proof.

Yes, as I stated in the other thread, quadrant is simply the equivalent of measuring mobile phone penis size and nothing more.

my score was OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What! Over 9000! THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT!

Consistantly low benchmark scores. Antutu & Quadrant

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.
