Some of the main things that might confuse you are abbreviations for phone names. For example, DHD would be an HTC Desire HD, Inc would be an Incredible, Mes would be a Mesmerize, etc.

Anyone know if its possible to reduce the time for a long press to get multitasking and voice search. I've noticed switching between apps takes a long long press.

Maybe this tweak already exists on some roms?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Try an downloading taskswitcher from the market. Makes it so a single press of the home screen brings up a task switcher. Its very minimal and very fast. Also allows you to end apps by long pressing them. Heres a screenshot.

That only works on roms that can change render effect though right? I think the stock rom can't do that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Tried it on the stock rom. force closes as soon as you try and change or click anything.

Thats probably because the stock rom doesnt support rendering effects. Itll probably work on cm7 but im waiting for a more stable release before i flash that

We will get more newer gb sense roms when a working kernel is ready. It slowed when tbolt came out, but the inc 2 will not slow us, neither a just that much of an upgrade imo. When our kernel is ready, you will see many varieties of ports for the dinc.

/shrug. I have been using Cyanogenmod 7 Nightlies. Its Gingerbread. I'm at work so i cant see those images for that linked ROM... but what it says it has doesnt sound that great... also it makes 4g not work on your evo if you use it... so ... why even have an evo and be with sprint if you use that ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Dude, your in the wrong forum. This is the droid incredible, not the evo.
[Droid Incredible General] N-Forced:
That rom that the op linked to is an evo rom, so him talking about an evo is perfectly reasonable.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
True, but title to this thread is completely in reference to the dinc, which doesnt support 4g in the first place
[Droid Incredible General] renzo.olivares:
we'll get more ports when we get a gingersense leak. That rom is so outdated haha virus new port based on the htc kingdom sounds like its going to be a huge success for the evo.
[Droid Incredible General] n2imagination:
A bit of perspective

Although I can feel where you are coming from on the fading of interest I wanted to chime in here to relay my recent experience with the incredible and its devs. My wife and I both had eris phones and were both rooted and running custom roms. The phone unrooted is almost unbearably slow and painful. Rooted is much better but still the phone itself is just so antiquated. I pushed Verizon to up my upgrade date and recently got the Thunderbolt. My wife finally got fed up with the eris and her upgrade date was too far out to push up so I got her a used incredible locally for about $170. Now comes the part that blew me away. The guy I got it from had it stock and never rooted. I did the research and was, as i said blown away with the sheer simplicity of the rooting and clockwork recovery rom experience. Thats all aside from the beauty, speed, screen brightness, perfect size, and overall satisfaction of the phone. I truly almost prefer it over my thunderbolt. The rom factory may be slowing down but this phone is an amazing device overall and the devs that have put time into it are to be commended in the highest. I can only hope that cyanogen and the others make my thunderbolt as amazing of an experience.
[Droid Incredible General] rlacrossjr:
cant wait for gingersense. running CM7 2.3.4 but miss sense.
[Droid Incredible General] tjrocks91:
I don't understand how the HTC HD2 is getting gingersense ports and sensation sense 3.0 ports, the phone is a Windows mobile phone so I doubt any gingerbread kernels are released for that... I don't get how they have these ports but we can't?
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
Windows is a non issue.. once you flash an android rom (w/ Linux kernel) the windows phone os doesnt matter as its just hardware at that point. Android rom uses the Linux kernel to communicate w/ hw.
[Droid Incredible General] fillyo:
I have noticed things are slowing down too. I got a Thunderbold day 1, which I love, no looking back for me, but my wife still has a Dinc, and I am always looking to update, it is currently running Myns Warm Z, not much else right now.
[Droid Incredible General] supersobbie:
I am not sure it is slowing down so much as people are finding that what they have the love. I personally still flash a few roms every now and then but I always tend to go back to one... because It has the most of what I love. I think that always happens. I use to see this when I was running windows mobile htc 8125, people said that everything was slowing down but I think it is more the fact that you have know tried most of the ROMs. When I first got this phone I went through and flashed as many roms as I could. a few of them I am not going to try again until they get a few more levels up since I was not satisfied but there were a few that I really liked and I have flashed them when they come out with a new one. BUT I do always go back to my main rom.

So after all that I dont know if it is slowing down since I see new roms out every once in a while. I think that I just dont have the interest to flash them as often since I can say, I have already tried that. I will wait 3 more version before flashing that again...

You may have noticed that I didnt use one rom name since I do not want to discourage any ROM developer. They all do an "Incredible" job here no pun intended. Keep up the GREAT work and happy flashing.

[Droid Incredible General] rpz3.14:
I hear what you're saying, but there is still a lot of great work going on. The release of skyraider 4.0 was huge, and there are still a ton of roms being actively supported. Between CM7, MIUI, LiquidMetal, the z roms, and the stock sense roms, you can get just about any look you want.
[Droid Incredible General] droidrage2010:
It seems though, that most new ROM work, including ports, are the same old bases reworked with a twist. CM7 is nice, but doesn't have Sense.. The desireZ ports are nice, but still 2.2.. as with Skyraider.

I'm sure not knocking any devs work.. I use them and donate, just wish we had some new work coming our way... especially GingerSense!

[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Verizon is no longer selling the Incredible, but Sprint is still selling the EVO 4G.

I think this is a big factor because we'll have practically a stop on new users of this phone.

My brother was in need of an upgrade last week, he wanted an incredible like I had but Verizon wasn't selling them anymore. So he went with the T-Bolt
[Droid Incredible General] mamarley:
I just bought an Incredible used, and I don't regret it even though they just released the Thunderbolt and the Inc 2. Really the only improvement I see there is the faster GPU, but I haven't really had any problems with the Adreno 200. Also, I don't want a bigger phone. 3.7" is perfect.
[Droid Incredible General] cstrife999:
I see the slowdown, but in all reality with technology the way it is. Things are moving fast and it's not always a bad thing. My incredible is my second favorite phone I've ever had, but I can see its gaps when compared to my Thunderbolt. Also I think 3.7 is a bit small for my taste. Dev won't drop off dead though. I think the Incredible is much like the original Droid. They are just game changing phones that will never really die. In response to the poster who had the fascinate I feel your pain. I had one for about three months. I thought it would be soooo much better than my Droid X.... Boy was I wrong.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
The Incredible is the perfect phone to sit on the sidelines with. There are so many snazzy devices that have just come out or are coming soon, which makes choosing one difficult. However we have a fully hacked phone with several optimized ROMs to choose from and our specs can still run just about everything we throw at it. We can sit back comfortably and watch the dust settle on this new wave of phones before choosing the best option.
[Droid Incredible General] liquidicem:
I can definitely see a slow down. But we've still got some really good developers cranking out some solid ROMs. I'm quite sure I'll be happy with my Inc until next year sometime.

This thread is meant to be a comparison of changes over time for the G2x and not really a 'me too' benchmarks thread. The idea is to see unequivocally how various changes or versions impact our hardware over time. Benchmarking is something I enjoy and take very seriously. At this time I do not plan to run any custom ROMs and I will be holding off on OC/UV kernels until they have matured.

Feel free to suggest additional tests but please be realistic in what you're asking for.

2011.07.26 - G2x 2.2 Stock vs G2x 2.2 Rooted vs G2x 2.3 Stock

Higher Resolution Images

I've updated my G2x via the LG update software to the GB 2.3 that was released for it. I did not unroot/unfreeze prior so I lost root but my frozen apps stayed frozen post update. As can be seen from the graph the Gingerbread tests show it performing within 2% of the results of the previous FroYo 2.2 rooted phone. I will not be able to perform a true stock test until I re-root the phone and unfreeze applications. The SunSpider test shows a decent 5% gain in speed which is not unexpected since browser performance was a touted feature of 2.3 on phones.

The lack of overall performance gain though was expected for this update before I ran the tests.

FroYo was the performance release version of the 2.x series of versions where 2.3 was a feature release. The addition of new features will typically garner a drop in overall performance unless additional time is spent focusing solely on performance increases. Google has already stated that the next phone oriented performance release will be Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0?) which will merge in the multi-core enhancements of the Honeycomb 3.x series.

This release of 2.3 is still running the 2.6.32.9 kernel version # as the previous 2.2 version was. This DOES NOT mean it is the same kernel, but it does indicate a lack of major changes, just primarily bug fixes and tweaks were done. The kernel controls task switching and various other base level processes, without a significant change at this level there will not be significant changes at the upper levels.

2011.08.30 - G2x 2.3 Rooted vs Faux123 Kernels

Higher Resolution Image

After running my updated 2.2 Rooted + Frozen to 2.3 Unrooted + Frozen I felt there was something wrong with it as some things felt slightly off. My belief is the freezing process removes the permissions from an application required to read/write/execute it which in turn may have prevented specific items from being updated during the LG Updater process. I decided to do the GB root process and flashed the stock rooted GB file onto my phone which being a ROM flash and not an updater over wrote the frozen applications. Afterwards with everything running the phone just behaved more as I expected than the previously frozen version. Benchmarks attached show this as everything increased (except for SunSpider).

A note on SunSpider I was reporting results wrong previously as I forgot lower scores in SunSpider mean better results. Which in terms of the 5% variance is still not much of a change.

Now being rooted again I decided to start working with kernels to see how they changed things.

Faux123 SV (Stock Voltage & Frequencies) - This kernel showed higher values in some tests but lower in others. The main disadvantage is the memory compression in my opinion as it actually sacrifices bandwidth for capacity. The thing is though even with our ~380mb of RAM it's still more than enough for daily use. If you use the System Stats Live Wallpaper with memory listed you'll see that even with the most taxing applications this phone never reaches capacity. The decrease in bandwidth is noticeable with larger applications like games as they take longer to load and to switch between large maps and other data sets.

Faux123 OC/UV @ 1.1 - The slight bump in frquency provides the extra benefit to push the memory bandwidth past the hurdle created by compcache. This kernel provides an all around (except in 3D applications) performance increase making it very worth while even at this slight MHz bump.

Faux123 OC/UV @ 1.4 - Everything else before this was in single digit % of increase. The bump to 1.4 GHz on both cores provides significant increases as the graph shows. If your phone can run stable at these speeds then I say go for it. For me 1.4 GHz was as high as I could go and stay stable, 1.55 GHz would crash my phone on boot.

2011.08.30 - G2x 2.3 Faux123 Kernels @ 500 MHz vs G1 @ 614 MHz

High Res Image

Having been an Android user from the start with a T-Mobile G1 & MT3G I still actively use that phone for testing and playing around with. When I actively used it we were always trying to find various tricks just to get smidgens more performance from it. So I decided to underclock the G2x down to 500 MHz and overclocked the G1 to 614 MHz running CS-DOS (GB 2.3.4) with everything tweaked for the fun of it.

This comparison shows the difference in terms of an ARMv6 versus an ARMv7 Cortex9 architecture and is just a fun informative bit. While being 100 MHz slower the G2x still was able to outperform the tweaked G1 by the following.

Quadrant - 72% faster

SmartBench - 79% faster

BrowserMark - 27% faster

SunSpider - 61% faster

2011.09.07 - G2x ROM benchmarks

High Res Image

I've completed my various ROM comparison testing and below are my numerical findings. I averaged the overall results and as listed in the order below are the highest to lowest scoring ROMs in terms of performance. In terms of numerical, graphical, & I/O performance they're all very close to each other. However it becomes very clear that either the stock ROM's web browser has been modified or the Android 2.3.4/2.3.5 web browser has had some significant performance optimization done to it as BrowserMark & SunSpider both return values nearly twice as fast as the 2.3.3 based versions. I believe that CompCache settings on the Faux123 kernel used in the Faux123 ROM result in its lower CF-Bench scores as it impacts memory bandwidth. With Miui it has a different/modified web browser in place and it shows as it has the worst of the browser benchmark scores.

2011.09.30 - G2x CM benchmarks

With the release of G2x Nightly 154 the codebase is now Gingerbread 2.3.7 so I decided to do a CM benchmark comparison to see how it handled compared to the others. Of not since the 14x series of nightlies EXT4 was also enabled by default.

As 2.3.6/2.3.7 were mainly Sprint Nexus S updates along with Google Wallet feature additions I am not surprised from the results to see the numbers are fairly close to each other. The 2.3.7 eeked out slightly ahead in CF-Bench but lagged behind in SunSpider by about 500 milliseconds making it's score larger (ie slower) than 2.3.5 however those values are still much better than 2.3.3 based browsers.
