Try Miui with it's stock kernel. That solved the random freeze and reboot issues for me. Btw i'm at Miui 1.9.2.

I cannot find any trinity 1,5 ghz.

I think that is an old kernel, in fact now there is trinity kernel for 1,44 ghz, is less than old, but worlk very well respect 1,5 ghz, even if it doesn't score 6000.

where can i download that kernel???
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
it is an older kernel. you can find it in my private collection http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2769033/T1544-05312011.zip :D

warning though, its not NS4G optimized, its just for the NS. if you flash it on the NS4G, you wont have any data.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] demo23019:
granted stock 2.3.5 has better i/o than previous builds

but no were near what you're getting yours are inaccurate and been told this so many times but you think you know more than others here and all you do is misinform others with inaccurate info and results. Blind leading the blind this forum is getting to be a joke....seriously every time i come here i see pointless threads like this.

enough ranting here is my results with stock android rom with root and libGLES_android.so removed

still with 56 FPS cap because removing cap is pointless

...so 3D test will be lower

1ghz with stock kernel and 1.5 with matrix 4.6 at 1.5ghz

1ghz

1.5ghz

Matr1x kernel is not Trinity. btw, how many quad benches are you doing? you should run four benches, the first two are the lowest scores and the forth will be the highest. ive ran/tested the matr1x kernel for mathkid, and i score higher on 1.2ghz than you do on 1.5.

maybe its just your phone? and since all i do is misinform, stop reading my posts since they are all just misinformation. what else can i say? because obviously i really havent helped anyone with their phones, i just magically made other people think that i helped them :eek:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] morfic:
You are doing something wrong, Matr1x does not score THAT low.

65fps is based on the panel refresh, I can't exceed it. Seems it's 68 for slcd btw.

I wish I could incapable it, benchmarks are meant to show the capability of a device, we don't care for panel frequency, we care about a measure in textured, shaded triangles per second.

By imposing arbitrary limits (vsync), you can never find out how fast the gpu could be.

Would I want to play games with vsync off? No way. Bench with vsync off? Absolutely, nothing else makes sense, but I'm sure you knew that.

About the io, it's real.

My g2x gets about 1.5MB/s when pushing files, nexus s in excess of 6mb/s, so yeah, I expect it to score faster on io.

Why don't you accuse the other users of these kernels to be cheaters and liars?

Why single out one guy?

His phone can run kernels mine can't run, so yes he will always higher than me.

So what?

Ignore him, or join the fun of pointing out we outgrew a once relevant benchmark.

Just act civil, just because you can't verify it with your phone doesn't mean it didn't happen.

EDIT: Matr1x scored 4269 @ 1.3ghz on my phone w/ brainmaster's miui 1.9.16
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Duke4eva:
Mine gets 1700 max.. How?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
use setcpu or a similar app to set your cpu speed. you want your highest cpu(1.5ghz for example) as high and your highest cpu as low. set your governor to ondemand. turn your screen off for ten seconds at some point before benching. open quadrant and run four benchmarks in a row, your first two will be your lowest scores and the forth benchmark in a row should be your highest score.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
...sorry but I must be blind, really blind these days, can't find it.....

Btw, some ppl seem to love trolling around, in any case I hit around 3000 using the kernel used on Formel's MIUI with SetCpu at 1200 ondemand but with the issues of crashing while using BT i'm really looking for a solution.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
just to save the reputation of the Matr1x kernel, ran one series of four quandrants in a row, this is the forth. btw, im including the screen capture of setcpu so that you can see this is indeed Matrix v4.5, the same kernel that demo23019 ran on his nexus s, so that you can compare the time of screenshot with the kernel. only Matr1x shows the sliders at 1500, but runs at 1520. this is at 1520/1520 ondemand.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

what happen when it "crashes"? have you tried a different kernel?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
The phone freezes and reboots, let's say I'm listening some music in the player and I open the browser to check something...kaput....or listening and decided to play Angry Birds...kaput... it happens at random times so sometimes everything is ok and sometimes it just happens...

Oh, I've tried Netarchy and the one that comes with Formel's MIUI (Pete), that's why I was asking which would u recommend.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
it could just be your phone reacting to the overclock too. just the bluetooth sets it off. is it a common issue with that rom/kernel?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
Not for what I understand, then again, some ppl use BT just for calls, I use BT for almost anything audio related.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
does it happen at lower cpu speeds? like 1ghz(using that same rom/kernel)?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
...not that I noticed really but I don't really want to go at the stock speed cause some things will be rather slow, what really bothers me is that only happens with the BT....
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
try one of these kernels..

the 1.1ghz is fast too. i bet faster than the 1.2 that you are using. they all work on miui. for the first time flashing trinity, wipe your dalvik or flash this dalvik wiper zip http://goo.gl/lgO1v if you dont like them, just reflash the rom youre using and itll write over the trinity kernel. after wiping the dalvik the first time, you wont have to wipe it again if you want to try another trinity kernel.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
Thx, I'm working on it and will be back with results in a couple days! :)

Btw, would u say the Dalvik wiper is better than the one in CWM ?, in any case I will use the one u provide, again thx!

***Update: I used the 1.1G kernel, still happened but so far only when playing, yet this is a first trial, will repost after a couple of days again, btw, is there a way to remove or change the boot animation?, not the best choice (imho), I'ld have picked the simple Andy coming out of its green boxy body....sleep time...

I can hit 5600 on 1.44 but I can't seen to run stable on trinity, I get random reboots. So I run net 1.4 @ 1ghz with 100mv under volt. With the egl delete it dumbass everything smooth for me with great stability.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Tzorg:
Similar here, TEUV is stable for me but not the rest and I want a bit more of juice :)

Net 1.4 uses too much CPU compared to Trinity or Matr1x (when I check the battery usage) with lower battery life . Will keep on trying Trinity kernels.

Great scores simms, you may end up burning your Nexus though! Is it really stable at 1.5?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] atxbang56:
I can't reach 68 FPS on Quadrant (SLCD). It's locked at 49FPS. Why ?

Any way to change that ? I'm running MIUI 1.9.16 with Trinity kernel T144.

Edit : I turned off the screen for 10seconds before the benchmark and it's ok now, thx simms22. I reached 5373 with MIUI 1.9.16 and Trinity 1.544GHz
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
usually when i see a 49fps on the nexus s, it could only be one thing, the screen was never turned off/the phone never got a chance to sleep :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ZiggSVO:
I'm sending a thanks your way for your post. I'm not one that depends on benchmarks as I know they can be manipulated by doing things to your phone before running them lol. But the thanks is for the tip on removing that .so file lol

Before removing it when quadrant would hit the planet test it would have crappy black squigly lines all over the edge of the moon while it rotated against the planet. After removing this file, the lines are gone and it runs smooth as butter getting way more than 15fps on that portion of the test lol

so I thank you for posting this. If you ever find out of any negative effects by removing this file please keep us updated!

Thanks again!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
yea, that dalvik-wiper.zip is better than the dalvik wipe option in CWM, considering the option in CWM doesnt actually wipe the whole dalvik. and the boot animation can be removed/changed, its in /system/media/. just delete the bootanimation.zip and replace it with another.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

that file was the negative affect. with the file there, and it being "broken", the phone was defaulting to software rendering. with that file gone, the phone defaults to hardware rendering.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ZiggSVO:
Thats what I was figuring :)

Just wondering for my own need to devour knowledge, do you know anywhere that has documentation or findings other than truth in hand on the device about removing this file?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
no, i dont know of any official documentation. but the original idea came from ganaboy in the galaxy s threads http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17070372&postcount=1

so??? that's stranger
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
stock cm kernel? or you flashed a different kernel? from my experience, stock cm7 kernel for the nexus s is nothing special.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

i just tested the trinity teuv 880mhz underclocked/undervolted with todays cm7 nightly #199 with that file removed.. not bad for a measly 880mhz.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tonno16:
I think that the construction of nexus is very different.

how can is possible to score 3500 with 0,88 ghz and especially score 1600 in 3d, when my trinity kernel with 240 mhz gpu bus score total 4600 with 1000 points in 3d with file.so deleted???? it is a big difference
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
yea, i do agree with you. i do think the construction of the nexus s differs. i think they differ by the batches they were made in, and where/when the parts were made. and how they were put together. from what ive heard, the same thing happened with the galaxys s
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tonno16:
+1

in fact. I understand a little difference, not this differeces.

My phone was buy in italy but is an american model
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
btw, tonno16, the gpu is oc'd in teuv also, at 220mhz. which does give it quite a kick.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tonno16:
yes but we're talking about a cpu underclock to 0.88 ghz. with last cm7 kang and that kernel i score only 2600, not 3500
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
reboot and try again. after first flash and boot, i only reached 27xx and it wasnt very smooth. after rebooting, all was good again.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
Ok perhaps I'm missing something. The best I can muster is 3000 in quad with the .so file deleted. Using cm7 and matr1x 7.0. Any ideas?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] morfic:
Set min and max to the same speed (1.4 or 1.5 or 1.44, based on what V7.0 has, not sure)

Benchmark 4x

The first two results are the lowest

the 4th benchmark usually is the fastest.

Many benchmarks don't load the cpu enough to trigger propper scaling up, so you will never measure the max capabilities, you well get some random results based on how the load of the benchmark and the load of background processes add up at any given time.

If you set min == max, for benchmarking purposes, you get to gage the max the system is capable of if the load is high enough.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
at what cpu speed?

test this way..

set your highest cpu speed for high and low, ondemand governor. turn off your screen for at least 10 seconds before benchmarking. run quadrant 4 times in a row, throw away the first two numbers and the forth score should be your highest.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
was running it at 1300. Will try turning off the screen and test now..

getting 56 fps on globe test. This sound right?

best i was able to do out of 4 tests was 3259. Sound right?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
56fps is the best that youll get with matr1x, until mathkid95 updates his kernel. were you testing at 1300/100 or 1300/1300? you should score higher @1300.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
Using Trinity at 1300/1300 now. Getting above 4000 now. Very nice. Thanks for the heads up on this :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
sweeeet :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Rem3Dy:
Make sure you set the min speed to match the Max speed before you benchmark. Quadrant does not tax the CPU enough to ramp up the speed.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Reptilez_DK:
With tuv14 (you guys know. the 1.44 ghz Trinity kernel) and moving the file in egl/elg folder, my highest quadrant is 4895! =-O That is, by *far* the highest I've ever done. :D

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
Possibly a dumb question but... Is there anyway to apply the I/O tweaks in CM7 to a stock NS4G rom? I'm probably grossly oversimplifying the tweaks/modifications in CM7 that provides the I/O boost.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
what i/o tweaks/boost in cm??

there arent any.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Corra:
anyone tried that with real games (i.e. asphalt 6 which has a quite low frame rate on my all stock nexus s)?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
something must be tweaked in the rom or somethng.

Best i can do with a stock rom on trinity kernel at 1.3 is 2296 in quadrant. And it hangs for a bit in the I/O portion where as while running CM7 it flies through it with the same kernel.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
maybe theres something wrong with the stock rom?

try this in your terminal emulator. type..

su(press enter)

mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /data /data(press enter)

then try quadrant again.

yes. there is quite a difference in the gaming experience
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
that made things a bit more interesting, 3172 now. Still sticks at 2/4 (database writes) in quadrant a bit but does not in cm7.

Does cm7 have any other goodies in the fstab or wherever the mount commands are located?

EDIT:

From what i'm reading it looks like that is defined in the kernel and not the rom, or am i confused?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] morfic:
What simms22 showed you is what the stock rom doesn't do.

A simple script run from a shortcut would let you fix this with a simple tap of an icon on one of your homescreen

That's how I do it on my tablet until I fix that kernel there.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
good stuff.. thanks dudes. :)

So is the noauto_da_alloc mount option is called by something set in the rom and not the kernel. That makes sense. I'll have to load cm7 again and see what else it does.

edit:

checked out cm7's default mount optiosn and added them.

mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime /data /data squeezes out a tad bit better quadrant score. cool :D

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

WAIT.. i think i think and maybe i find the solution. My rom was hacked by me because I add some script file like:

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100 to Raise JPG quality to 100%

debug.sf.hw=1 render ui with gpu

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150 increase scrolling speed

can this scripts be the reason of different scores??
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkGbe:
where is the debug.sf.hw setting located? nm, found that it's added to build.prop.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fenrry:
Thx for the idea :) but I was able to get Root Explorer and fixed the file!

Thx Sire, I got it and worked amazing, this is a brief report of findings, btw before I go into that, I also applied ur suggestion in regards of the Kernels, 1.2G and 1.3G worked amazing, some problems running the 1.1G, after removing the offending file I was hitting 3400's on Quadrant at 1.2G, and using the 1.3G i was going around the 4200's, with the normal MIUI I could get 3000 flat and all this lead to my findings as follow:

-Voodoo creates issues with DSP and when using BT it may cause the phone to crash, also Voodoo and DSP run from boot but there is no way to stop that unless removed from the phone.

-Dsp causes issues with BT when playing music and running games at the same time, same for Voodoo.

-The best solution with less issues is the Equalizer from the market, u can still make out some issues but it will not cause the phone to crash when using BT.

-There is a light issue with BT and sometimes it gets disconnected, will not show on devices list but u can still listen via BT headset.

This is the best part of my findings, after removing the offending file:

-Improved general stability and speed, games show smoother and less glitchy, the browser loads faster and there is no lag while trying pinch/zoom, but the major fix goes to the camera recording, videos show almost no glitches or just go clean, smooth and nice like Here and Here, one thing to keep in mind is that after recording and play back the file on the phone u may see glitching, which will may not happen again if u replay and to make sure that it was good, I downloaded to the pc and played the file, u already saw the result :)

Now that's running Formel's MIUI, I'm gonna try Brainmasters Rom and will let u know how things go!

Thanks for ur help!!!

Btw, 1 last thing, do u know any particular page that I could use to guide me into how to open APK files and how to load them back so I can test what I did?

Again, many thx!!!

What for quadrant doesn't even support dualcore so test results from galaxy s 2 or any other dualcore phone are pointless just like using I/O hacks for exaggerated I/O scores

here is GS2 at 1.7ghz score on only one core and doesn't have useless I/O hack.

Just for ****s and giggles since quadrant doesn't support dual core

lets add another another 13136 to CPU to be fair

that will give you whopping CPU score of 26272 and your quadrant score will easily blow past 6k and then add stupid i/o hack for ****s and giggles

it will blow past 7 and up to 8 and possibly even into 9k region so yea
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Giac1:
dude calm down, first off you're suggesting that I/O hacks where used to inflate the overall score, which is simply not true. The reason for the high score is because the Nexus S has native ext4 support. So far I haven't seen a single S2 get over 6k in quadrant
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] simms22:
first off, thats a good quadrant score from demo23019, the best ive seen from him. too bad that his nexus s couldnt do it though. 2nd, ive seen a sgs2 go over 6000, its just not posted anywhere. 3rd, demo is right in the fact that quadrant only tests one core, which is why quadrant is a "fun" benchmark. it makes the playing field even to all phones. im not saying that quadrant is accurate, because its not. but it does give developers a way to compare where a phone was and if something that the developer did, changed an outcome, for better or worse(when using the paid version). 4th, no i/o hacks are used, and demo knows that. hes just angry at me. i <3 you demo :D
