Yes, 2011 is good for single-core devices too. It creates 4 symmetrical threads at a time so on a single-core device, it behaves as if you have 4 cores but each one is 1/4 the speed. On dual-core devices, it will behave as a 4 core device each performing at 1/2 the speed of the physical core, etc. Smartbench 2011 will run faster still on quad-core processors for this reason.

Yup, as dreamsforgotten mentioned, you can download the APK from the link above and try running it again. Some how, you managed to configure your phone that produces this result quite consistently.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just installed it and took one benchmark, still happening. but now i get higher scores with a lower ghz kernel. weird!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
So basically in your case, you are displaying all frames and does not crash anywhere. How could that be possible? :eek:

This one is turning out to be a tough one... I wish if you could just duplicate your phone and send it to me. :D

Looking at the DB again, here's what I see:

- Out of the test results for Nexus S recorded at 1.1GHz, I see about 15 results that are "too high" (at least 2.5x where it should be). So if I were to chart these results, you will see a gradual increase then all of a sudden, nothing (between 2651 and 6007 Games Index scores) then these 15 results...

- Every single over-achieving results were obtained using the rom "CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC0-NS-KANG".

- Not every tests ran using "CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC0-NS-KANG" were bad.

- I also have couple of results that use "CyanogenMod-7-06122011-NIGHTLY" but those are ok.

- There are 124 submitted results in total for this configuration (Nexus S @ 1.1GHz).

Is there anything peculiar about this build of CM7?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
how can that be possible is a very good question!

that build is the same as the cm nightly, but built by someone else. i flash a new ones everyday. as its updated every day. it isnt always built by the same person though. anyone that builds a nightly(thats not the official builder) gets the designation of "kang" automatically. i can test it with an "official" nightly later on if youd like, but there shouldnt be any difference. oh, and about duplicating my phone, theres a long line of people waiting for me to do that, lol :eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
Yes that would be very helpful - at least I can get rid of one variable if that one checks out positive...

Or may be your phone indeed performs 4x dual-core phones. A tiny alien residing in there somewhere, pedaling like mad? :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i went ahead and flashed the latest "official" cm7 nightly. i did 4 benches in a row, the third i threw out because i received 3 gtalk messages during testing(was 4600 i believe). here are the results...

Ot, everyone this is one of the most pro active devs I have met since sterricson and is highly worthy of a donation for his apps. On top of that, hats off to you for the trouble of making a benchmark software to generate readings accurate regardless of processor type and hardware many benchmark utilities are biased towards one processor over another ie linpackwhen you compare snapdragon to hummingbird
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ive been looking and examining the scores in the games category database http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ind...bench2011:Games&filter_cpu=all&filter_gpu=all and have come to notice that almost all the top scores are inaccurate, theres a og droid at 700mhz with over a 5000 score, a bunch of scores for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini at 800mhz at the top. the top score is from an original droid, of over 6000, an htc hero at 600mhz with over a 4000, and it goes on and on. where are all the dual core phones. they are the only ones showing a fairly accurate results. i dont mean to be a pain in the ass, i dont. i respect you and your work. you are a good, responsive developer, i wish more were like you. but i would like to use a fairy accurate benchmark, especially since people are starting to get turned away from benchmarking apps because of inaccuracies. i copy/pasted all the top results here, look at them, tell me that you think that they seriously are accurate.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
Thanks! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
You are on a roll here. :D Looks like you found another defect in the Smartbench client/server system. On the client app, by default, I only display the top 150 most popular test results (there are more than 20,000 of them so I had to make some compromises there). SmartphoneBenchmarks.com displays every single result and its been a while since I looked at chart using some sorted orders. Thanks for discovering it.

DB has been fixed now. You won't see any of these erroneous results and I've made modifications to the submit script to reject any future submissions.

I noticed that the top 20 came from really slow phones - most likely got submitted on the older version of the client when it used to allow submission of results even when exceptions were thrown during the test (i.e. shorter run time). Obviously this was a bug which was fixed a while back but forgot to go back and delete those results off the DB. From #21 onwards, they seem to be dual-core (plus Nexus S) results as expected.

Please don't feel bad. I like having feedback, as long as they are constructive. Give me good reasons why the app sucks and I will look into it. You have been pointing out flaws which should be fixed. This is by far the best way to improve the software.

I still stand by Smartbench 2011. What you saw there was 20 results out of more than 400,000 stored in DB - that's 0.005% of the total runs. Having said that, there's probably more errors and I will continue to improve the data mining scripts to improve the quality of the data.

Remember Smartbench 2010? Just like Quadrant and many other competing apps, it used to hand-pick some results and hard-coded them into the app. You can't go wrong with that approach except # of devices to compare against obviously suffer and the app developer will need to continually update the list. I knew I was taking a huge risk by exposing all submitted data to the end-users. There's bound to be bad runs recording bad results and hackers finding ways to submit false results (I had to implement a scheme to prevent this too). But I still went ahead and did it because I felt there was a value in exposing them for the end-users.

I can't say on behalf of other apps, but I'm sure those apps that collect and expose data on the server in the similar manner as Smartbench are also dealing with similar issues. But bad results are very very small % and they are going down over time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
Going back to the original topic though, I am still puzzled by the result your phone produces....

I had to create yet another new DB to improve the quality of data. This one contains statistical data now. I can use it to compare submitted data against results of the similar phones and if it is far away from the average value point, then I could reject it.

Obviously I prefer to fix the problem at the root but I need to be able to produce the problem on my phone but I can't. From what I can tell, most other Nexus S owners can't either....

I haven't given up yet though...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
my only idea is that ive flashed/overclocked/messed with/ my phone so many times that it might effect it in this way? like a rubberband thats been streched over and over that it eventually stays stretched out :eek:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
What do the application scores look like, which one is the one that seems to be way out of whack.

Considering you run my kernel on that phone, i'd like to know if something is going wrong if it affects your scores in a non natural way.

But i need a starting point to know where to look.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
nothing is out of whack.. the phone really is running better then it ever was since i bought it. i wouldnt be surprised if i happened to purchase the best made nexus s that has been made/will be made. and trinity has even improved the feel on top of that :cool:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acei:
It seems that for him, he can obtain higher than normal scores quite consistently. The level of score is somewhere around 2-4x where it should be. I looked at the scores for both 'Cave' and 'JellyFish' tests and its not consistent - sometimes one performs much better than usual, boosting the 'Games Index' score, while other times, it is the 'JellyFish'.

Initially, I thought it was the overclocking that did it - i.e. at near the limit, GPU becomes flaky and starts to fail on some parts of the GPU tests, throwing exceptions in the process, hence ending the test early. But that wasn't the case and this phenomena can be seen even at 1.1GHz which should be a comfortable clock speed for Hummingbirds.

Very strange.

Oh and simms, how are the scores of other GPU-focused benchmark apps? Is it in line with other Nexus S scores for a given clock speed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i have huge quadrant benchmarks, but im not the only nexus s that does. at 1.544 ghz ive obtained my highest 5803, with it scoring over 5600+ consistantly. but as i said, im not the only nexus s that does that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
oh, and on an3Dbench i see scores above 38000. right in the middle of the dual core score. and again, my nexus s isnt the only one with those high scores too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
Since you seem to be rather helpful, i was wondering if you could make it possible to see the application scores if one of them fails and the results are invalidated.

I thought Jelly fish ran rather short, but looking at the index scores it is productivity that is rather low while game index is still "ok"

While browsing the DB for my phone i looked and found both a LG Star and LG G2x (Which based on roms could both be refering to my G2x)

The latter has normal clocks of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4ghz, instead of showing them as 20% or 40% OC like i see for other phones.

On his 3D scores, what are the fps recorded if you have the information stored? This one in particular is interesting on this issue.

Do you record /proc/version? Would be interesting to see the kernel/rom combinations, because anything over 1.0ghz on a cm nightly/kang is not going to be stock and they don't all run Trinity (even if they should ;P)

Simms, looks like I may have to steal that phone of yours, in order to debug the issue.

Can you give me your address please? :D

Kidding aside, this one continues to be very puzzling. I am going to implement a filter on the client-side as well so that it would reject any results that don't statistically make sense. Which means most of your results will be rejected in the future.

I don't like the fact that this filter is capturing most of your invalid scores.... :rolleyes:

Or may be I should buy your phone off you... :D

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mickliq:
I've been using Quickpic for awhile too...I like that you can exclude folders so that it doesn't pick up all the graphics embedded in my emails like the stock gallery.

Just read this today - haven't yet installed http://www.androidcentral.com/android-central-quick-app-review-lightbox
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] spachal:
I'm using JustPictures!, multiple accounts (facebook, picasa etc.), very good app :] ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kaibosh:
Quickpic user here too.. I love that it's basic enough to just jump into and browse without the 3d annoyance of the normal gallery.

I had an issue with it when I migrated from my Galaxy S to my Galaxy SII (not actioning screen taps even though they were registering) but that seems to have been fixed..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] plau13:
is justpictures fast with loading fb/picasa thumbnails?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] spectoral:
Gunna give both Quickpic and Justpictures a try. Fingers crossed that Justpictures lets me save images to Flickr from within camera-using apps... maybe wishful thinking... but I'd love it if Lightbox, for example, or Snapbucket, saved to Flickr. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jiia:
Didn't really like QuickPick or JustPictures. Both were way too slow at loading the thumbnails. The stock Gallery3D loads all the thumbnails in a blink of an eye but in those two apps it took quite a lot longer.

Btw does anyone know how to get rid of that "snap" action in the Gallery3D? Is it some Samsung addition because I don't remember seeing that kind of feature in the previous versions. It's annoying as hell. Could I just roll to the Gallery3D from market or would it be slower than this Samsung version?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Remember, the first time you open the app it'll cache the thumbnails. Gallery takes a fair while to process all your images the first time it's launched.

I've been using QuickPic for a while instead of Gallery, image quality is better and it's more functional. I like it.

JustPictures! is a good little app too, seems surprisingly quick.
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
I love the look of MIUI but the battery is lacking and I love the battery of cm7 but it doesn't have as good of customization as MIUI. So my question is is there anyway I could improve my battery to what cm7 is with MIUI so I could get the best of both worlds. If not then I am going to stick with cm7 cuz its super fast and has ridiculous battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
As no two batteries or phones are created equal, how is anyone supposed to answer this for you? You could do lots of stuff, but what works for me, is not going to work for you. I use my phone little, I use my phone a ton. You use your phone all day, you never use it. I don't have sense? Or Do? Do you? I sync nothing. Maybe I sync everything. ......You sync what? The equasion is way to large to really help.. You need to play with the phone to figure it out.

There is undervolting, there is removing and freezing, processes - there are literally 20+ things you can do and one of them, or none of them may work for you.

My opinion tho; Miui is horrible. Good luck with that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Alrighty, then.

As tweaked said, the are so many factors. Until you can get a whole bunch of people testing both roms, with zero variation between setups, you can't properly gauge a response to your question.

I haven't run either ROM, but miui looks like it might have a little more eye candy/nifty stuff. It would seem to me that that comes with a price... Battery. I could be way off the mark on that, so...

Besides, there is no perfect ROM, and if someone had managed to fuse the two roms in such a way as you suggest, it would probably take the form of some new hybrid, but more likely, a major version upgrade/add-on's for either of the two roms in question.
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
So how do I put fb profile to contact on my phone? I remember in htc sense u could like choose it from your friendlist also what dialer/contacts app u guys using on cm7 (or any other rom). Plus does CWM 3.06 still have the bug that u can't load when phones off?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I cannot answer your FB feature, because it is something I have never used and have no intentions of ever using it, but, for the offline charging feature, it is v3.1.0.2 that fixes it. All versions below it have that bug.
[Wildfire General] dud3me:

what 's kind of "offline charging" ?

Yesterday I was update recovery to "3.06" then using rom manager to "2.5".

what 's clockworkmod should i use ?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Go to your contacts -> edit contacts -> join contacts. Make sure your fb account is set to sync with existing contacts of course.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Oops.

Just installing the "facebook android application" integrates the FB account to phone. Yes it displays FB contacts. Thank you very much

(i think same is the case with twitter and other accounts).
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
IMO, stick with 3.1.0.2. 4 seems to be "beta" still.

Its a bug in Clockworkmod which prevents (or rather, hangs the phone) when you are charging it when switched off. The phone LED will stay red always, and, will not power on. Solutions are to remove the battery and reinsert and power on, else, turning on the phone with Vol Down + Power + Trackpad.

Your primary Clockwork is still 3.0.0.6. ROM Manager's Clockwork is installed on the SD Card, so, its kind of a "secondary" recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] zanef7:
There are some applications on android such as some banking applications and other applications that deal with account information that will automatically time out after some time of inactivity.

Can anything be done (a root edit/ or a separate application) so that the application either stays "active" longer, or so that it will not time out at all?

Im not sure if this has to do with the application only, or if the application reads something from the system in order for it to time out after a certain amount of time.

Thanks for any help,

After I heared that Faryaab stopp Devs for now (I hope he will come back) I tried to make his Build ([ROM][05 APR 11][F1 CyanogenMod 7 V1][EXT2]) to CMW.

I tried it by trial and error.

I used a normal CWM ROM, and replaced the system folder with that of the EXT2 one. There are almost same files in there exept the bin folder. First I used these files from the EXT2 build (CM7 V1) and after that these files of the CWM build (CM6.1 V1).

I booted these ROMs but the Animation never stops, so I decided to remove the animation files (I hoped to see the current code for debbuging) but there was only a black screen, but it continued to the "Desktop" of android but only the statusbar is visible and I can pop it up. But that was it.

Maybe Someone could help me solving this problem (because it's the fastes build here).

Here is the file without boot animation, so you can see the problem
