[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
In addition to what everyone else has said about Quadrant, you can't expect the Evo to beat the Shift. Despite being clocked lower, it's a newer generation of chip than what we have in the Evo -- kind of how Core was "slower" than P4 op paper but was actually faster due to other improvements. So Evo vs Evo Shift isn't a fair comparison.

If you care that much about having the fastest phone you can, why'd you buy the Evo right now anyway? It's been out a year. The Epic has been out almost as long, so I don't think that's your answer either. Either get the Evo 3D or wait for the Photon or Samsung Galaxy S2. The Evo's no longer top of the line.
[EVO 4G General] cranbiz:
You are not looking in the right place then. Lots of roms and kernels available. You can OC to your hearts content.

So, why, after 24 hours, would you thing the phone sucks? The versitility is one of the things that make this phone. You can try an AOSP rom with a tiamat or Netarcy kernel which will give you more options that you will ever need or one of the many stock roms that just have different levels of awesomeness in them.

But, to each their own. If you really don't like the Evo, don't keep it. I think that would be a mistake but I'm not you. You have got to do whats best for you.

It is a little older phone hardware wise and the shift does have a 2nd gen processor, even though its clocked slower than the Evo, It can test better, but what about the Dev community support? If your rooted, the possibilityes are endless with the original Evo.
[EVO 4G General] dino1342:
My wife took her epic back to the store she did not like it and touch wiz is the wrose keep your evo or go get the 3d if you just got the phone that would have been my first choice anyway and the scores on that phone is grate
[EVO 4G General] Bfitz26:
the reason i am dissapointed is for one i expecting the overclocking to be a bit more that 1.1 stable pretty lame considering i have a asus transformer stock 1 ghz now running rooted custom kernal at 1.6 can go all the way to 1.7 is it cause htc locked there kernal sourse and asus has a unlocker kernal sorse just not sure, cause i ran the net something kernal and couldn't do **** with it locked up my phone.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
like was mentioned previously, quad scores are meaningless. and IMHO, so is "how well a phone overclocks". for me, it's about support available (ROMS/etc) and options, how the phone actually feels (physical build), what the user experience is.

thus, I am in no way disappointed in my evo. I am almost sad to consider the idea of upgrading. sure, I want a dualcore... but I will miss this screen size (aspect ratio). And the f*cktons or ROM options with dev support.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Look, you bought a 1 year old phone that's designed around a 2.5 year old processor. The transformer is a newer product built around a newer processor. If you want something faster than the Evo, there are other choices you could buy, including the Evo 3D. The Evo is still a great phone, but it's not top of the line anymore.

It's not a question of HTC locking anything down in the kernel -- it's just a processor that doesn't have as much room to overclock as others might. But there's a lot more to a phone's performance than clock speed.
[EVO 4G General] buttered_popcorn:
This is how I feel also
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
You know what?? It's a ****ing telephone. How goddamn fast do you need it to be.

I don't what it is, but I'm in a real live I-Hate-Whiny-*****es mood

WAAAAA. my overpriced telephone isn't as fast as my quad core computer...

Piss off.....
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
OK, I'm not in agreement with the OP, but I can't say I agree with this either. Honestly, making calls is among the least important features of my smartphone. Yeah I want it to do it, but I use my "phone" for so much more than that. There's nothing wrong with wanting the fastest and smoothest device we can get.

My beef with the OP is why he bought the Evo in the first place if that's his priority. It's mine, and I certainly wouldn't buy the Evo today. I don't regret buying it 9 months ago though. That, along with too much focus on meaningless benchmarks and clock speeds, are where I have a problem.

Now, if budget only allows for the Evo at its newly reduced price, then that's fine, but I still don't think it's fair to be "disappointed" by the performance of what is now a mid-tier phone, and it's especially not fair to compare it to a new Tegra 2 based tablet.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Are you really considering taking it back solely because if quadrant scores!?! Wow!

tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
Umm..I just wondering how someone got a "new" Evo a day ago and rooted it the same day? You can't root a NEW Evo just yet. I'm just sayin....?

ya know,I,m a old Marine so I dont have virgin ears. but ther are alot of young kids on this forum. I,m very familiar with you as far as XDA goes and i gotta say I'm a little taken aback by this sort of response.:(
[EVO 4G General] life64x:
A measurement of performance...quadrant sucks big time. If you judge a phone by this pos...by all means do it. However couple things to mention. Quadrant needs a overhaul in it's testing software..I can get 7 different scores..same phone..7 different times when I run it. There are known ways to fool quadrant into giving a higher score. I remember awhile back I tested cm7 with stock kernel and then overcolocked it..my over clocking speed was less in scores than stock..go figure.
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
If your EVO is truly NEW then congrats! Its a great cell and still one of the best. Unfortunately there is no root for the newest OTA/firmware version. If you have one with an older ROM, froyo etc..the world is at your fingertips. Start by searching, there are more kernels and more ROMS to ever suit your needs from AOSP plain Google code to Sprint stock ROMS with Sense.

For the future, you may and most likely will get more help, detailed help and advise with what version you are running now, hardware version etc.. it helps to help you if we know more about your cell..not just that you think you are unhappy with it. Good luck..
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Sorry had just gotten back from a 4th of July party and was a little surly and a lot drunk, so I apologize, HOWEVER, it's not a friggin' super computer. It's a phone.

Now talking on it is what I do the least, too, and I want it to be as smooth an fast as possible, but I'm not going to sit here and watch someone cry about the speed on this thing, like he expects it to be some custom built computer with a Phenom II 3.2 gig Qadcore running 12 gigs of Corsair DDR3 Ram on an Asus MB that comes with an OC Panel in the Bios......

And THEN say he's gonna dump it for an Epic :rolleyes: because he can't OC it past 1.1. Mine isn't even OC'd at all, and it's super fast. Fast enough for me, anyhow. I'm not processing complex algorithms with it, ffs.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
You just got back drunk from a 4th of July party? Even on the East coast it's not even 11:30am yet. But hey, who am I to judge?

Well, if you look again at the first post I made, where i went off on the OP, it was 11:31 PM, last night
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Dude u practically described my custom built PC but I only have 8 gigs of ram damn it.

But back on topic I get over 1500 in quadrant using cm7 with savagezen kernal and the supercharger script. That script kicks ass and my phone hauls ass and opens apps in half the time it used to compared to before I ran it. I highly recommend it
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:

Tired of lowlife rudeness on the forum.

That's my response. I'm an idiot. Ok.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
I've had my Evo about 2 months. What's funny is that some things I thought I'd be dissappointed about, I'm not, and some things I didn't think I'd be dissappointed in I am.

I thought that 1Gb of internal storage would be more than enough (based on my Nook Color). Didn't realize there'd be so much crapware that I'd be down to 50 MB free storage in no time (by comparison, my Nook Color running CM7 with 1Gb storage and many more apps installed shows over 400 MB free.)

Conversely, I feared that this massive phone with its 4.3 inch screen would be a pain to haul around with me. But honestly, I hardly notice it when I'm not using it, and the screen real-estate is just glorious.

Battery life is another area I feared, but in reality, it's not so bad. I keep a charger at work and in the car. Rarely do I find myself in the orange zone (let alone red).

As far as speed goes, I've never felt a lack. But let's face it: this phone is 1 year old. That's a million years in gadget time.

I'm happy I got a phone that could be rooted (happy to be s-off just in case).

As one that is new to all the rominig and what not, I am a practical consumer. I do all my research before I purchase. Something about the OP just seems bating to me. With that in mind, why after purchasing without the advice of strangers would someone expect strangers to really take them serious. Stating facts that were clearly available before your purchase seems,,, ,,,,,, Well, you see where this is going. Don't mean to be argumentative, but maybe we are all missing the valid point you may be tryyng to make.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
Hello everyone, I am on darkys 9.5 and I wanna go or flash stock rom of JVP 2.3.4 for the sole reason of being able to use video call for skype coz it doesn't support on darkys 9.5 which is froyo.. My concern is, is it ok to flash directly over darky 9.5 (lagfix off) the stock JVP stock rom? Or do I have to flash other version first like 2.3.3 before JVP? And if I am able to flash it with 2.3.4, how do I root it so that I can restore my apps? Your knowledge would be of help..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
You cam backup your apps with Titanium.

Flash like this:

- download XXJVQ with bootloader (you'll find it here on XDA)

- back up contacts, photos, etc.

- disable lagfix

- flash fw with Odin (inclusive PIT-file + Re-partition ticked

(- root with another kernel, enable lagfix) <--- this must not be done ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
Ah this is the info I dont know yet, about this bootloader thingy.. So if I flash to another version like from froyo to gingerbread, I should flash with bootloader in odin? I downloaded the custom room on samfirmware.com the JVP version, does it include the bootloader on those files? And if I dont flash with bootloader, does it mean I can't update to gingerbread? They say flashing with bootloader is dangerous so I must be careful..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
If you change the Android-version (from Froyo to Ginger, from Ginger to Eclair,...) you always have tto flash a firmware including bootloaders. If you already have 2.3.3 and you want to uograde to 2.3.4, you already have the Gingerbreadbootloader so you could choose a firmware without bootloader too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
Thanks a lot lunchbox for the info..

That's the thing I need to know.. I know I can find somewhere here in xda the gingerbread bootloader.. Any other precautionary you can advise before I start? So I have to enter four files, the PDA, CSC, MODEM and BOOTLOADER on the odin to make it work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
No, just enter CSC, PDA and Phone and - if you want to - the PIT-File (if you use a PIT-File don't forget to to tick 'Re-Partition' on the left side in Odin).

You just use the bootloader-field if you only flash the bootloader but nothing else, so just leave it blank for flashing Gingerbread. ;)

And don't forget to press the 'Thanks'-button. :p ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
After reading through forums that talks about bootloader, I finally understand the basics.. Just last few questions before I flash gingerbread.

I downloaded the custom rom in samfirmware which is the JVP and it has this files,

1. CODE_I9000XXJPV_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 283.5 mb

2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5 86.9 mb

3. MODEM_I9000XXJVP_REV_00CL1019177.tar.md5 12.2 mb

4. 512 pit file

My 1st question, does this rom contain bootloader in the PDA? (Does samfirmare.com roms always have bootloader in their roms?)

Obviously, im new in xda, 3 days young so I didn't know how bountiful the roms to download here and my data plan is limited so I will just use this rom JVP to minimize my data consumption..

My 2nd question is, I read in a vibrant forum that they had a bootloader from I9000 that they can use in their vibrant phones which allows backward (they say you can change to froyo, eclair, gingerbread) can I use that bootloader coz I have I feeling that I'm going back to darky 9.5 and I won't have to flash a froyo bootloader if ever. I'm just updating to get a taste of video call of skype..

My 3rd question is, the risk in flashing roms without bootloader in it especially if you are from froyo and upgrade to gingerbread is, rainbow screen and no download mode, right? (that's why I wanna make sure the JVP I downloaded from samfirmware has gingerbread bootloader in it so I won't have these problems). That's why most roms here in xda has no built in bootloader coz its always risky to flash roms with bootloader so maybe the one I downloaded in samfirmware has bootloader?

My last question is, I read some1 got a problem with his gingerbread bootloader coz he flashed another gingerbread bootloader.. Does it mean that every room has a specific bootloader? Like JVP bootloader is different from JVQ bootloader?

I hope you weren't annoyed with these noob questions.. Hehehe just wanna be safe always that's why I need your opinion. Anyway, I'm learning with every answer you gave me..

Thanks lunchbox.. I'll inform you if I successfully flash it this weekend..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
This fw should contain the bootloader, yes. But I'm never quite sure. I think that firmwares with three parts contain it and with one part not. So you should wait until somebody confirms this. ;)

But don't believe all the threads in the forum. Usually you will only read from bricked pbones and not from successfully ended flash procedures (nobidy will write "well, I just wanted you to inform that everything went fine". ;)).

Normally you need for a Ginger-based ROM Only Gingerbread as a base. So it doesn't care if you Have JVP, JVQ or JVH. Thung are different only on CM7 + MIUI, there you need Froyo-bootloader.

And if you follow the guudes step by step you won't brick your phone. ;)

You are welcome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
Assuming the JVP stock rom i downloaded has bootloader in it, do i need to check/tick "phone bootlaoder update" in Odin before starting the flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatTusAi:
I've successfully updated to JVP and I think the bootloader also and I'm using video call on skype now.. I think gingerbread is a nice rom though its to stock but maybe this can be modified I the future..

Can i safely remove the chineese net disk App?

Becouse i realy dont know where its for and it only uses space.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
If it's in /system/app, then it doesn't use space, /system is a different partition than the /data where all the apps you install go. So, no worries about space.

If unsure whether you should delete it or not, try freezing it with Titanium Backup first and monitor your phone's behavior afterwards.

TRUST ME,

your problem is not the leaked RUU.

It's as stable as can be.

it's a hardware issue and you should just file an warranty claim with vz, don't tell them about anything upgraded unless they ask.

The more i use this leaked RUU, the more i believe it's as close to an official to be released build as possible.
