InsertCoin 2.2.3 OC @1.7ghz

Unity V7 Kernal

12731 / 3227 / 7028

I've tried many ROMs and kernals at this point and my current setup seems to be the fastest/best performing by far.

I should also point out that this setup also got 2550 in Quadrant with the highest 2nd place score being 1950 with the Virtuous Sensation ROM. I know it contradicts this thread but figured I would add it anyway. :)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Android Revolution HD 3.0.1

Unity v7 kernel

overclocked at 1.78 ghz

EDIT: what I don't really get, looking at the other people here results, is that I have quite a good score, but my java efficiencyMSFLOPS and MDFLOPS are bad (some have 60% here, I have 20), is that the lowest is the best??????
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I just got very similar benchmark results with the exact same setup. I noticed that the native score increased quite a bit while the java score fell after switching from the InsertCoin ROM OCed at 1.7Ghz.

Not sure why that is, but this thing flies and I guess that's all that matters. :)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Yes, they fly ! BTW, Mike1986 doesn't really like talking about Benchmarks, he thinks they are not reliable at all.

And it can be true, the very best CF bench I had were using RCMIX kernel on Android Revolution ROM, but while I had very high CF scores, my whole UI was laggy, much more than when using unity v7, so I kept unity, a fair balance between high bench scores and fast UI
[HTC Sensation] Marioag_0412:
Hey guys, I'm new to both the forums and the HTC Sensation, but after seeing this thread and running my own benchmarks on cfbenchmark, I had to join in. You see I am running a BONE-DRY stock phone with S-ON, 2.3.4 OTA through T-mobile and I was wondering why my results are very sub par, even when compared to other stock scores. I would post a screenshot but, as I mentioned, I am new to the forums and have no idea how to do that. Anyways, my scores are 8030,2076,4457 and 4457 overall. I was wondering why mine is over 500 points less than other stock phones? I cleared all other apps with the native task manager and even plugged the phone in to charge, but after 2 more benches, I received very similar results. I did notice however that certain figures in my benchmark were extremely under the range of the ones posted here. These include: java memory write (32), java efficiency memory write (2%), and java score (2076). My score report also places my device below both the stock sensation and even the Atrix. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I apologize for the massive wall of text but this is my first post and I wanted to be sure that I covered everything thoroughly so as to best present my situation to more experienced and knowledgeable forum goers in the hopes that one of you may be able to aid me. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

Oh, another "my penis is bigger than yours" thread LOL (read with a smile please) :)

To stay on topic. I found a combination of IC 2.2.5 + stock kernel to be best with stability, battery and performance even though bench is very low, pointless even posting. Have run cf with few custom kernels, always higher than the above combo, but UI never feels any faster. So no benefit for me really.

I'll keep trying.

v0.551 only because I added some things to test. Performance was uninfluenced. .55 is as fast as .551.

These results will improve with installing a different Version of IC. (because 2.4.3 is based on an unfinished 2.3.5 leak)

InsertCoin 2.2.5 SSE gives most ppl best results in benchmarks/performance/stability

EDIT:

Both cores running @ 1782Mhz.

Overclocking the second CPU is currently not supported by many apps. (They can't overclock what they can't see, aSMP)

To enforce this with Bricked:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1782000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

CPU1 will then shutdown after it is sure that it is not needed anymore. But you can also do:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Right after the both commands above. Then CPU1 will sleep again. Good night. ;)

Hi I am about to s-off my sensation and just read a but about installing a custom rom and it says you won't lose data or apps.

Whoever said that you will not lose data does not know what they are talking about. When you flash a new ROM, you will have to re-install everything.

Isn't the Insert Coin ROM just kernel. That will explain why you don't loose app/data
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
I flashed LeeDroid and did not lose any apps. Most devs tell you to format it on your own to avoid problems and others implement a script to do it for you, which may have been the case in other roms. Haven't experienced any problems at all here.

so if i flash a custom rom leedroid..... and dont do a wipe data and things in clockwork then i will have all my apps and texts and things all still there when i have the new rom installed?

I would wipe when flashing new ROMs.

Before wiping though, you can backup your app data using Titanium Backup:

1) Open Titanium Backup

2) Hit the Menu Button -> Batch

3) Run "Backup all user apps" -- this backs up your apps and data to SD card

Once you wipe and then flash your new ROM, you can then get Titanium Backup from the Market. Once again, do steps 1 to 2 above, then run one of the restore options
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
before i flash if i do a full backup in recovery will this keep my original rom incase i wat to revert bk to stock again ?

Yeah do that too in case you don't like the new ROM.

Hey all, so my question is that I flashed MIUI coming from CM7 and 3g does not work,I see the 3g icon but using browser and and xda app just loads then says needs to be connected to a network. I asked this cause seems like no one else has the same problem on MIUI(Everyone seems to be on verizon network). I have a verizon fascinate on a none verizon network. CM7's 3g works fine just slower and all touchwiz base roms data works flawlessly(1000kbps to 2500kbps). I cant say its the network cause I'll flash back and forth and it always gives me the same results, touchwiz base roms(Stock,ComRom and EF 3.X)having the fastest network speed. Is it possible that the AOSP rom's network connection is only optimized for VzW. Can anyone confirm this?Sorry for the long post.

Tried different basebands (ED01,ED05,EC09) still the same result

i was thinking about buying the htc evo 3d from ebay.. is it possible to unlock it to tmobile?
[HTC EVO 3D] 84guy:
im not sure the gsm evo 3d is out yet. t-mobile=gsm sprint=cdma
[HTC EVO 3D] el poblano:
Nope. T-mobile is GSM. Sprint is CDMA.
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
It wont work with tmobile but maybe you can get it to work with metropcs or even boost.

Although I hear there are some legal concerns about doing this..

You need to buy the EVO 3D from Rogers Canada

Don't go with Tmobile unless you have to, I have had some bad experiences with them.
[HTC EVO 3D] tjlawson09:
Tmobile = FAIL!
[HTC EVO 3D] StrumerJohn:
Sorry,

You can't. T-mobile needs SIM card slot, Sprint does not. You could get the sensation, a replica with out 3D and half the amount of RAM.

how can i get the HTC EVO 3D to work on metropcs? i'd love this to happen!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
If you search the forum a bit you can find threads on how to do this. I'm sure I've seen a thread or two on metropcs and evo 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlk:
yeah i saw it too. but i think you cant get mms on it thru metropcs. i hope i'm wrong. i'd love to move from my $55/month (taxes included) on tmobile to $40/month with metropcs. i'd be happy.

I know this must have been answered before but I am not able to find it :(. You are a senior member can you kindly answer or point me in the right direction?

What are the steps to unlock my Sprint EVO 3D and use it with MetroPCS?

Does rooting mean unlocking?

There seems to be two types of rooting soft and hard, which rooting is required or unlocking?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
It's not called unlocking for Metro, Unlocking is a term used for GSM Phones.

You are wanting to FLASH to metro pcs. From what I know there is some CDMA workshop trickery involved, and I believe you DONT need to be rooted for it to work although I could be wrong. Also btw ROOTING ≠ UNLOCKING

Metro is garbage, if you want the best, pre paid , its page plus, 45- buck a month with unlimited talk text and 20mb internet but best part is it uses verizons service

Which in my case tops any pre paid plan by a milestone

lmao...what good is that when u got no data? not only that but PP needs a verizon esn.....if there was a way to change the esn on the evo 3d u think people would pick PP over boost? metro roams off of sprints towers. u can actually load a sprint prl into any metro phone and it will work. anyhow metro is great cause u get unlimited data, even if its slow u still get data and all ur apps work. yes you can flash the evo 3d to metro pcs, its same as flashing any other phone. u need cdma ws to change the passwords and all that stuff the m.ip and the ppp. i sold my last evo 3d on metro pcs alsmot fully working...mms is not working. im getting another evo 3d in 4 days ill see if now with root theres a way to get mms. all apps work on metro pcs.

google: flash evo 4g to metro pcs and its the same settings. u will need cdma ws 3.7 its worth buying it
