Samfirmware "speed test" Nexus S vs Galaxy S "credibility" of samfirmware

Not much to say to it really. But with this I lost any last drop of "faith" I had for them, even after the fiasco with the latest JVK.

http://goo.gl/t3uik

Are they joking? I mean, late 1 april joke? (link to the youtube video http://goo.gl/3ADAD )

[YOUTUBE]YywpMg4sHq0[/YOUTUBE]

For those that wont understand what I am saying with this:

1. quadrant cant be used to test the "real" speed or "user experience" its completely irrelevant. (look up threads about it)

2. they compared 2 different filesystems rfs4 vs ext4 .

The test and samfirmware along with it is a joke

(If its already here, erase me , if I got into the wrong forum do the same :))
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doomsdaycs:
very true!

once the video started, and that guy clicked run benchmark, i did the same with my phone and it ended up completing only a second later than the nexus s.. besides i am on 2.2.1 wheras the nexus one was 2.3.3.. very strange?? but if u overlook the speed of completing the test, the scores were correct. that is purely because of the crappy touch wiz....but this does not in any way mean that nexus s was faster in reality.. and hey did u check the colours in galaxy s compared to nexus s.. i mean both have the same screen but it did not seem that way, probably the nexus s used for the display was super lcd..!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
Well I meant with this test that samfirmware should know better as to compare rfs with ext4.

The Samsung Galaxy S has rfs compared to ext4 to the nexus S. The filesystem itself will give another score in the "benchmark". But this benchmark cant be used as a reference. NOT even comparing speed on one phone. Look up threads about it.

And yeah the colors look better on SGS,but thats irrelevant too ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Naeem786:
Why RFS is on Samsung Galaxy S ??????????????????????????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dhiru1602:
Noticed that the Colors on Gingerbread version of Nexus S look a bit off. White looks Yellowish. Noticed this with CM7.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
ive tried ext4 on my 2.3.3 and its not as smooth... im now using stock and its much smoother.

my phone is faster and smoother than my old froyo 2100 quadrant setup - yet scores 980 on avg on quadrant.

ive already left a few comments on that samfirmware post.

enable jit and add ext4 to samsung galaxy s, which is a match to the nexus s and the galaxy s wins by some distance.

2300 - galaxy s with jit enabled and ext4

1800 - nexus s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
Thing is JIT is enabled on JVK (and I think since froyo roms). Dunno why some ppl thing its still disabled :)

the build.prop line that everyone is tweaking is the one with stagefright to tweak/hack the quadrant score. (it pushes the score from 1600-1700 above 2000)

But funny their comment to me:

@Samfirmware ITS NOT A SPEED TEST! Its testing books with tanks....

i am running stock xxjvk, rooted with cf-root 2.7.

started the benchmark at the same time, finished it 13 seconds BEFORE GOOGLE NEXUS S, 990 points :)).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
It's clear that the SGS they are using have an issue when I/O test get stuck there at 0/4 for a long time, however, change this line in build.prop from :

to:

And your quadrant score will be 1600-1700 points, now install the hacked kernel by supercurio and enable ext4: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975349 and see your device score 2400-2500 if not more.

Samfirmware have proved again that they mean as much as a Quadrant score in a worthless comparison that is only meant to promote Nexus S against Galaxy S, even though that we all know that they are mainly the same device.

Thanks to PAGOT for this find :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] glavos:
Quadrant means nothing, in my desire I had about 3000pts, on my galaxy s about 2400pts but the galaxy is quicker when you use it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
I know that you all say quadrant score means nothing, or maybe it's just sgs owners that say that (ducks for cover ;-)

...but if you go over to the Droid X forum, there is a video review of a Droid X with Gingerbread and it clearly shows that the Droid X Quadrant score is doubled with Gingerbread and the phone looks really speedy on the video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=339bnvTQ87g

Can anyone explain this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] glavos:
nice ginger on droid x look faster than my Froyo on galaxy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
Oh yeah, and just FYI, I though that the samfirmware video review was absolute rubbish too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
The topic of this thread is about comparing to devices which are pretty much similar to each other, both have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed but they have installed ext4 on one of them and left the other with RFS, beside that the SGS gets stuck on I/O test which is clearly indicate a problem with SGS which non of us have while running quadrant...this comparison is worthless..this is my opinion.

Although this is pretty much off-topic, but:

I wrote how to boost score numbers by changing only 1 line in build.prop from 900-1000 points to 1600-1700 points which proves how worthless quadrant scores are.

Beside that, any SGS owner will tell you that he/she can get 56fps in 3d test, while DroidX fails to deliver more than 10fps in that test.

Moving to linpack, DroidX scores 10-12 MFLOPS, any SGS owner can confirm that SGS scores no less than 14 MFLOPS.

Based on scores now, how is DroidX faster than SGS ? Well it's not, but in the other hand I can agree that Motorola software is better optimized for DroidX than Samsung have done with SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
Thanks ramad, I did notice that the fps on the quadrant test were very very low in comparison to the SGS which maxs out at 56fps (on planet test) so I do agree but interesting that so many rely on Quadrant so much that it seems flawed.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
Have anyone noticed in Quadrant if you are on RFS the database write/read test finishes very quickly compared to ext4 whhch takes 2-3x longer to finish. Yet the score with ext4 is higher. THis does'nt make sense at all. Something is really very WRONG with Quadrant.

I have been watching alot of episodes of shows ripped from dvd and then compressed down to .mp4 format. They run great on the WMP built in (coreplayer I get flicker.

Anyway I queue up the shows as I go to bed so they will continually play and then after every episode it loads the next show but doesn't play it (like coreplayer) is there a way to make it so it will cycle through all shows one time and then stop without me having to get up and push play again?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
Yes, just follow the instructions above, flash via SpeedMod kernel as usual....;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] angry_machine:
i meant is it possible to flash from Cwm 3 -2.7 , cause i already have it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
No it's not possible cause CWM 3.0 doesn't work for flashing Modems, Kernels and Complete ROMs....

Use the SpeedMod Kernel to be always sure....;)

CWM 3 is only good (for now) to flash update packages, themes and addons!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mkrogh65:
OK maybe im a bit slow today .-...--

But please confirm ....

Im on ultimate 8.2

I need to install - Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVK Galaxy S - Installation Guide (STOCK) From the video provided ? (vincenzoprignan)

Then I need - SpeedMod Kernel K13D Odin Version and extract .tar file from the .zip file with CWM (or flash with Odin)

Then I Install your ROM with CWM

Correct ?? :)

Mike -
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
Yeah correct!

Make sure you DO NOT CHECK AUTO REBOOT INTO ODIN!!

Then use 3 button combo to go into CWM!

Enjoy!;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mkrogh65:
Does any 1 has this running yet ?

Any feedback ? :)

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beppez82:
When 1st flashing JVK we need to check re-partiotn and phone efs-clear and phone bootloader update as posted in others guide?

Or nothing of these like in Ramad post?

Hi Simone

I use your Rom since 2 Days, and now i don't want back to froyo :D

One thing, i use "Swype Beta" and before on froyo there was an section in swype-setting for dictionary choise.... it not there. I know Swype beta get his words from normal T9 build on phone, is it possible that you move something and now swype beta don't get/ find it?

If i write a sms, i can't correct an word by to a double touch on it... thats the main thing what i miss.

But all you do works fine, and the phone runs so nice with the other alternativ kernel ;)

Since I'm on ginger already I would only need to flash the zip from cwm. I did so, but I get into boot loop. I did factory reset and clear cache, but same thing. Anybody knows what to do now?

For cyanogen I had to use odin to apply a .tar file as PDA. I bet this causes the problem. Sould I just flash a new tar via odin, and try the zip again?
