[7" Kindle Fire HD General] bbanghyung:
Supercharger before, after, and after after.

prokennexusa,

Turned into a long post... bear with me. :)

Ok. Here is the breakdown for Supercharger V6 on the Kindle Fire HD 7".

The images are as follows:

1. Supercharger V6 installed and triple checked settings, reset values to guarantee it was working 100%, tested right after a Dalvik Cache Wipe as well. Note: After waiting a considerable time after boot to use the device I noticed it was just not running well. Choppy and more choppiness. However, to note there was a slight snap to the launcher. This is the only thing you will get from Supercharger V6 as far as I am concerned and as you will see, if benchmarks are to be trusted (which I discuss the metrics below)

Overall AnTuTu Score - 6096

2. Supercharger was completely uninstalled, services.jar returned to normal and a full dalvik cache wipe was done before taking this test. I waited for the system to come back up to steam before performing the test as I did in the last one.

Overall AnTuTu Score - 6630

3. Updated AnTuTu to version 3.0.2 (I believe I had the version right before that as it didn't ask me update till recently but ignored it till now) Huge improvement in the numbers here. In all the times I was using AnTuTu to make benchmarks tests I never scored over 1199 for RAM, now its 1421(highest score was without supercharger) Cpu integer never got above 1723 before then either, now its 1875. CPU float-point highest was 1340, now is 1359. 2d graphics highest was 287, now is 349, a staggering difference. 3d graphics highest was 1248, now is 1318, again big difference here. Highest Database IO before was 535, now is 545. SD Card write is normal (which always fluctuates +/-20) SD Card read fluctuates +/-4

Overall AnTuTu Score - 7167

AnTuTu Metrics Breakdown

CPU integer: improved a little after removing supercharger, improved a lot after updating AnTuTu

CPU float-point: This stays relatively the same too. not really affected by supercharger a lot (although this score was low I don't believe it is telling, however I do reserve a little doubt supercharger affected this, just don't have the proof)

2d graphics seems to be in the same boat.

3d graphics are the same across the board, supercharged or not

Database IO score is a little low. This is not normal. With supercharger running it was usually 400, however it should have been running like a champ if the Supercharger script was doing it's business and it wasn't so no excuses.

SD card read metrics are always the same supercharged or not.

SD card write metrics fluctuate a lot with AnTuTu, which I'll just ignore, as this can't be consequential or telling of a specific optimization.

RAM (best for last) Unfortunately, this did not change a ton until I updated to the new AnTuTu. Supercharger V6 didn't seem to dent this big guy a lot.

Overall conclusion:

Your version of AnTuTu is massively important when noting your score. AnTuTu itself is great but... in my book, just doesn't have a lot of metrics when it comes to making changes that aren't on the magnitude of getting a new device. Also something must be said of it's validity considering the marked change in it's reporting from the previous version to this one.

As far as Supercharger V6 goes. It just doesn't cut it with Kindle Fire HD and I wish I was saying that based on hard cold science, but this is warm gooshy gut feelings I'm going with here. It's a lot of work to fiddle with for absolutely no gain and adds some choppiness to the device. One thing to notice is keep looking back at your Supercharge settings and see if it remains at 100%. My gut tells me it's already changed. I bet this is a great script on another device or a couple devices but not this one. Amazon wins this battle.

Proof Attached

Last note: I will be giving another script a shot if it comes recommended to me. I have looked in to some other scripts but I am not a gamer so have no need to increase my GTA fps. Also many of the other scripts seem like simpler version of what Supercharger does (simpler as in Supercharger is more user friendly+complete)
