Echoing this, Even if it's defaulted to a lower clock speed, you can't leave it that to provide an accurate data set. You also need a large spread, run hem 5 or 10 times and average them.

Even if benchmarks are a little silly in my book, still some interesting data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
Not true. Darkside Warfare was run at 1350.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
IMO I think it's pointless unless you clock them at the same speed I mean you have digital warfare under clocked at 1.3 -_-	might also want to mention which kernel each 1 is using and at the end of the day it's not about how each 1 scores but how it does in real life use I remember when I used the jugs kernel clocked at 1.89 I believe it scores over 8k easy but would lag on scrolling and other things but faux kernel would score a little over 7k and would run like butter clocked at 1.7. Now I'm using digital warfare with the kernel it comes with and I think it run incredible with speed, smoothness, and battery with good scores
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Mistake...

I was checking the screens from xda app. Your right.

Regardless...the roms should all be ran at one uniform speed for the best comparison.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 2hvy4grvty:
This is true, however with an asterisk. Running them subsequently will 100% boost scores, mostly because of CPU stepping. Continually running them keeps them clocked at full speeds more often, especially in the beginning.

Also, same clocks please? Use setCPU or something to ensure it. Stock clocks would be appreciated.

Also, run Vellamo benchmark too please. Linpack too lol. And NOT quadrant.

That said, Darkside is the best performer here so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
Sorry, that's not going to happen. While I'm still debating how I feel about stock vs a standard clock speeds, I can tell you that I'm not willing to try different benchmarking tools. I feel AnTuTu is modern enough. And I agree with the quadrant comment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 2hvy4grvty:
Why not? What else tests browsing performance as thoroughly?

Can we at least agree that despite all the little games and gadgets this phone runs, almost everyone primarily uses the phone to browse the Internet? Antutu does none of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] starskyrob:
Not to defend myself or anything but...

a) for the 10000th time benchmarks are useless

b) benchmarks are useless

c) you ran them after different clock speeds.

d) benchmarks are better for Kernel tests, not rom tests.

e) Australia.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
For clarity, the goal wasn't to try to get the highest score. It was to try to put all ROM's (and their included kernels) at the same baseline and see how they perform relative to one another. Not trying to put one over another.

Finding the right ROM can sometimes be a daunting task. Many offer roughly the same features, but just have different appearance. When people don't care about how the ROM looks (with all the different launchers and mods that can be changed after the fact), knowing how it performs out of the box may be the deciding factor.

I know clock speeds are different. Some ROMs opt for lower clock speeds to get better better life. So I thought it would be good to know how that effects its performance.

With that said, would this be useful? Would anyone appreciate seeing how one ROM performs relative to the others?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
But what I don't get is you claim that the goal of the thread was to put all ROMs at the same baseline. That didn't happen. Just pointing that out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mixedguy:
I think he means baseline as in the performance you get from untouched roms as the dev intended them to be. This is probably more useful for people that are scared to mess around with overclocking apps..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] matthewdavis:
That is correct. The baseline as defined by the authors of the ROMs. If a ROM author decides to underclock it out of the box, I'm not going to modify that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gugman:
Hi all

yesterday i flashed [DEV][RC4] Team ICSSGS [Android 4.0.3] on my captivate. so i'd like to ask you how do i downgrade back to what i was using previously, that is SimplyStock KK4 V1.0.

if i do like this

1. wipe data/factory reset

2.wipe cashe

3.format system

4.flashing CornKernel_UCKK4_v603

5.installing SimplyStock KK4 V1.0 from zip file in recovery mode

is this a correct and safe way to do it?

thank you !!!!

p.s. don't care at this point about app/data backup
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sNoxious:
What I would do, in my own way, I would just flash back to any stock firmwares using Odin. Examples are KK4 or even JF6, I use JF6 everytime and I don't know why, then root it and install ClockworkMod. Install Kernel and Rom after doing that. I know it's kind of a long process, but I wanted to be sure I won't encounter problems. But I think your process would work as well..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gugman:
as all these is very new to me, can you please be so kind and give me more detailed explanation :) if you can do it, that would be splendid ! Thank You !!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword_of_a_1000_truths:
choose one of the OneClick gingerbread stock ROMs from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300843. preferably one without bootloaders. u already have gingerbread bootloaders if u were on ICSSGS. use odin to flash the KK4 kernel with CMW boot into recovery then flash simply stock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
You need to use Odin or Heimdall to rewrite your partitions. That's the only way to downgrade from ics. It's the same thing as going from CM Gingerbread to Samsung roms again. I would try to stay away from bootloaders. If you don't need them, don't flash them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gugman:
i decided not to downgrade but to switch to Doc's Master ICS and so far so good :) thank you all for your support ! :)

I flashed stock rom,

then now my Samsung Galaxy Y become to GT-S5360.

It now cannot use 3G in 850Mhz WCDMA, can use only Edge.:(
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
is the modem part the only difference between 5360 and 5360B of SGY ? is made for different networks to use ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] blu33agl3:
5360 for 3G on 900/2100 Mhz

5360B for 3G on 850/2100 Mhz
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Doky73:
I made it for you! It's from firmware S5360BUTKI3_S5360ZTAKI3_S5360BUTKI3_HOME.tar.md5, so its an S5360BUTKI3 modem.

Unpack the zip, flash the tar file via odin, browse the file to MODEM.

If no success on 3G, you might need the CSC as well, to set proper carrier parameters...

[Motorola Droid 4] YahyaIsrael:
I wondering if it will be possible to do a hack on the Droid 4 to upgrade the battery some how?:rolleyes: Battery life right now isn't that bad, but could diffidently use a extended battery. I would think it would be possible, if anybody was interested in building a battery for the droid 4.
[Motorola Droid 4] juzz86:
Does the Droid 4 have an in-built battery like the Droid RAZR? If so, the only option would be something like a Mophie JuicePak, a case with a built-in battery to extend the regular cell.

A more likely scenario, if Development is able to get that far, is a custom Kernel with a more efficient set of commands and code to enable us to squeeze a little more life out of the battery. That's assuming Development gets off the ground :)
[Motorola Droid 4] YahyaIsrael:
Yes it is build in :mad:. Just thinking maybe a backpack sort of add on cover, to extend the battery, of course without having to connect over the USB port.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bitcoredotorg:
I don't see what's stopping an aftermarket manufacturer from producing a thicker battery and an aftermarket backplate to the phone. All you need to do is open the backplate, peel the sticker off, and use a T-5 torx screwdriver to remove the battery connector. The phone comes with the back-plate removal tool. It's not complicated.

see: ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-4-Teardown/7759/1

So, yes, it's technically possible. Unfortunitely, the RAZR MAXX battery will not fit in the D4 cavity, and the connector locations are different. So, you can't make your own home-grown Motorola Droid 4 MAXX. ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-RAZR-Teardown/7048/1

(lost my old XDA account login, excuse my inability to post clickable links)
[Motorola Droid 4] Bigfoot77:
I remember reading about a gent who already removed his D4 battery to see what other options could be found. The dis-assembly went easy enough, but there were major issues when he put it back in. Don't know if those were user created problems or what, but proceed at your own risk, as always!
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroibis:
It appears that there is connections for a wireless charger back cover. Therefore these connectors could be used to connect a second battery. Hopefully an aftermarket company will take notice and invent a product that will work for this.
[Motorola Droid 4] gangrif:
The battery in mine seems to last pretty long. Is this modification for the sake of modification? I turned off push mail, and suddenly I have ah all day battery life.
[Motorola Droid 4] Gibson99:
back from the dead - anyone seen any news on this? i particularly like the idea of using the charging contacts for the wireless charging cover, but using a battery backpack instead.

my d4 is on its way to me now, after my d2 had its flight license revoked following a high speed collision with a wall. the wall didn't fare too well either, but at least the wall is still functional. gotta learn to control that temper! :eek:

anyway, i have an aftermarket extended battery for my d2, rated at 3500mAh. i can go 2 days between charges, with what i consider regular use - that's probably 30 mins of calls, 200+ texts, loads of emails, some words/scramble w/ friends, 30-60 mins streaming internet radio, and some surfing every day. granted my d2 is rooted and running liberty, which practically doubled battery life. maybe rooting my d4 and debloating it (skype and other crap i don't want) will have the same effect to where i don't need an extended battery.
[Motorola Droid 4] fwdixon:
VZW sells an inductive charging back cover for the D4 already. That and a portable inductive batt. pack in a phone case and I think you'd be in business.
[Motorola Droid 4] The Optimizer:
One of my favorite personal quotes: If it was put together my someone or something, then it can definitely be taken apart. The extra contacts seen on the battery are definitely made for magnetic induction (wireless charging etc) and can even be used (like other phones I've seen) as a way for the phone to know when it is "docked" to an accessory... EX: the lapdock/webtop situation. There is a known patch to throw our phones into webtop mode, tricking it into believing thaat it is actually docked to a physical lapdock. This sensing is done usually by magnetism/inductive signals, and triggers a response from the phone. I really don't think moto would electronically brick our phones if the batt was taken out, but who knows... yet? Hope I've given some insight!
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
I am ok with the battery life. I got 24 hours out of it with the 208 leak just a couple of days ago. I was on wifi though for about 18 of those hours.

In the ICS leaks all you have to do is plug in a hdmi between the phone and a TV. A menu pops up with webtop as an option.
[Motorola Droid 4] markass530:
My Experience with the D4 and battery life

I Started a new thread on the topic, I hadn't found this one yet. I've removed the battery from 2 droid 4's, and had one running off a pair of 18650's for a week. Phone will work, just gotta charge them via another method
[Motorola Droid 4] Gibson99:
well i've had my d4 for a while now, and i'm mildly disappointed in the battery life. it's better than i thought it would be, but still not enough to go all day. in my interior office on the 36th floor, where there's little/no cell signal, the d4 chews up the battery a lot faster than my d2 ever did. i tried using smart actions, but they're flaky at best, and actually make the phone become unstable and very crash-happy, so i deleted all the smart actions i'd created and now the phone is much less crashy, though it's not really what i'd call stable. about to un-root and reset it to see if that helps (doubt it), then exchange it at VZW.

right now i'm not-so-patiently waiting for the official ICS OTA update. hopefully ics will bring some better optimizations, and then some good roms based off the official release will be cooked up. i've always wanted to try cyanogen, but at this point i think i'd be happy with plain vanilla AOSP, without blur and bloat as long as it meant my battery would last all day with normal use.

at this point in the smartphone game, it reminds me of the PC world circa 1993. vendors forcing bloat that's difficult/impossible to remove, which hinders performance of the phone. something has to give at some point. hopefully they will make it so you can have a phone, download android from google, get drivers from motorola/htc/etc, and just roll your own. i mean really - who actually uses all the crap they preload on these things now? and especially now that data is not unlimited anymore (i'm grandfathered in thankfully), apps you don't want and can't get rid of are using data without permission - potentially driving up your bill! if that's not illegal, it should be!
[Motorola Droid 4] keflexxx:
i'm not particularly opposed to carrying around some sort of Frankenphone, so this appeals to me. looks like mark doesn't post around here anymore so does anyone else know how you'd go about getting the 18650s powering a D4? if this works i'll probably cut a hole in the back panel to fit the batteries, might even be able to squeeze in a microSD-to-SD adapter for dat 128GB glory

[HTC Wildfire S] kyleisah:
Hey guys.

Last night I received a notification for an HTC OTA Update, and I downloaded it. I ran the update, it powers off, and it goes into the update screen, and then stops with the caution sign next to the android logo displayed. I think it could be because I have my bootloader unlocked and S-Off. I relocked my bootloader, but I have no way to get S-On again. I really would like to update, because I'm kind of fed up with the fact that there's really no custom ROM I can use. Also, I would like to use an official HTC debranded firmware for my phone, because MetroPCS adds a **** load of bloatware to my phone, and I only have room for about 4-5 apps I can install.

I live in North America, and I have MetroPCS as a carrier (CDMA). What ROM can I use from the shipped ROM list that will be compatible with what I have?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
So my usb port is wacked on my phone and the sprint store won't repair it cause of "signs" of water damage. So I bought a epic with a clean esn that had been thrashed, slider messed up, no touch, colors are wonky but good battery good charge and it boots fine. My questions are, is the esn tied to the logic board or a specific chip somewhere else in the phone? Also would the dramage describe lead anyone to think that the board would have any issues? Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
I would think the board should be fine to swap out. It should be easy to switch them. Don't even have to take phone all the way apart, just remove the screws and carefully pull the back off. As far as I know its not tied to anything that would prevent you from having it work.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
The board is most definitely tied to the esn, and it's not on some sort of removable part or anything. The esn *should* be flashed to the memory of the cdma chip, but I'm not exactly sure where.

Either way, each board is unique in that each has a different serial that can not be changed without really special software.

That's isn't to say you couldn't just swap the board over and change your esn with sprint. Of course that'll work.

Actually, looking back, I'm not sure i interpreted your post correctly lol.
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
Yeah u definitely read that wrong...

The board is the only part tied to the esn. The whole point of the OP question was to swap boards and change the esn registered to his account to the new one. I really think u missed the point of his question and my response. He just wants to swap hardware. No software modding.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If he can read the esn off the other board he can just activate the new esn since he said it was clean.
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
Yep. Even if there is no sticker. He can go to settings, about phone, status and it has the meid hex there as well.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Wow thanks guys I thought the esn would be tied to the logic board, which happens to be the board with the usb port on it, so I will need to switch the esn once I move the new board to my old phone. Also side note I booted the broken phone into recovery 2e and I can't get it back out because the captivate buttons are shot. I left the battery out all night but it still just boots right into recovery, anything I should worry about? I figure I can just boot out of it after I make the swap, since my captivate buttons do work. Sorry if my post is kinda jarbled.
