Yes, he is using the JBX kernel. You can easily overclock the phone to a sweet 1,300MHz. I love that feature and miss it a lot. As long as you do not get too carried away in the governor settings, it is not too bad on the battery, either.

Yeah, I got a Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1 too. A GT-P5113. Which one do you have? True, the thing is only 1 GHz and it beats the ever loving poop out of my phone, any day, every time. All the roms I complain about are exactly the same on the tablet, same OS version and build date, and the exact same loadout of apps and modules. I am not sure why this is but I was told it is because we are using the OMAP4 build of cm11 and there are bits of source code that are simply not available from Motorola, they keep this source code, proprietary. So our devs have to incorporate binary blogs of binary code into the source for CM11 builds for us. That handicaps them quite a bit with making efficient code for our devices. I hate it but this is what I know so far. I will ask [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] this question next time I talk to him. As a matter of fact, it has been a while...

The benchmarks are really not for serious comparison or anything useful to us other than a yardstick to compare performance between ourselves. It serves no real useful purpose to us, other than that. And for that to work, we need several of us to run the test and post the score. [MENTION=4977351]DumbleCore[/MENTION] gets really good performance with his scorched earth config, but now Bob comes in with this totally outrageous score of 16K on the phone and I would like to know how he got it. He might be performing a different or "short" test, or he may have done something really amazing with his phone. Until he tells us, we really do not know. I will do a test right now just to see what I get and I always get low scores. I will just hit the green Test bar on the screen w/out configuring other test modes. We get 4 choices of test but I will choose the default and press the big round green button. Here goes...

...runtime performance, single thread integer @ 5%,(Got Playstore apps updating in the background. Probably not good for this test.), CPU integer performance @ 27%, (This takes a while.), CPU float , ram speed, Dam! Screen must be trying to lock. It did. I forgot to keep screen on for the test. Now I got black screen and it is not going away. I have to hard power down, on 09/01 build of cm11. Wow, I am really stuck. So this test would be useless anyway. I am testing this new rom build of 09/01 and I figured it would be bad. It is. Have to revert back to 08/23 backup.

Oh, as of now, the changelog has 171 items to be included in next nightly. Hah! Like this is really going to screen in performance or I will screen as I throw this thing at the wall. :D

Alright, you get the idea. Here is a test that I did on 08/21 on this phone.

[IMG="Benchmark AnTuTu"]http://home.comcast.net/~theohmster/image/AnTuTu001.png[/IMG]

Oh man, this 09/01 build is NOT working out for me at all. Going to dump it and revert to 08/23. So how is your device running? :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
That is the bench mark I took on Paranoid Android 4.6 BETA 1, a couple hours ago.

I am using the PA 08-18 STOCK GAPPS.

Also, I am using the JBX-08-21, with my windowsmaxevents set to 240 in the build prop.

My read ahead buffer size is also set to 2048.

My governor is ktoonservative, and my scheduler is set to ROW.

Those are all my secrets.

New Benchmark

Alright, here is my benchmark for today on AnTuTu. Build 09/01. These tests are pretty meaningless but if a few of you, especially those with better performing phones would upload your tests for comparison, it would give all of us an idea of how well our phones compare with those that have better working devices. If you could, test and upload please. :good:

Oh, my results are actually better than before. How nice! :D

I figured out how to make the screen stay on for the test. I can use my App Settings Xposed module to keep the screen on. That is a wonderful module, all kind of things you can set in there! ;)

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Ahhhh, the secrets revealed! If anybody is going to get those secrets out to the light of day, Ohmster is on it boyzzzz! :D

Thanks Bob. Saved to a pdf file for future study and analysis. Good man! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Here also is my last benchmark for the day. I just did this one seconds ago.

BTW, changing windowsmaxeventmanager to 240 makes your device so much smoother.:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Just for the lols, here is my DROID X CM11 Antutu score.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Grrrrrrrrrr! I had tried setting my DPI when DumbleCore suggested it. Now, it is the same as changing desktop resolution in Windows. For me, I had a lot of empty space around icons, so, what then? Resize them? Can you do that? It also makes the font so much smaller to read. As it is, I use dollar store glasses just to read anything at length. But I never imagined that this could affect performance. I don't think I can approach your level of 16K on my device, unless I dump it, go totally clean, and probably run it in scorched earth mode. Not very appealing or at the very least, it would take some getting used to. :o

Well, this is what I want. This is what I asked for. Submissions with a benchmark for comparison, especially those with performance phones. It does give us all a light at the end of the tunnel to reach for. Perhaps as the days go by, with the right questions, we can figure out how to achieve such performance levels. Thanks Bob! :victory:

And DumbleCore, and anyone else who wants to participate. We need input from [MENTION=3322848]JakeDHS07[/MENTION]. He is new to benchmarking but he usually has a performance phone. We need his benchmark. Anyone else care to participate please. This is a really good experiment. We can have a platform for comparison as long as we do not take it too seriously. Just a yardstick to use for measurement for the time being.

For those that don't know how to change your phone's resolution:

Use File Manager with root permission to open /system/bulid.prop file.

The cm11 File Manager works well for this.

Tap the padlock icon to enable root permission to edit the file by tapping on it.

Find line that says # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES, about 4/5 the way down screen.

9 lines below that find line that says ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Change value from 240 to 205

Save file, then reboot.

* Lower numbers will result in a higher resolution screen. i.e.: fonts smaller, more room on the desktop. Higher numbers will make the objects on the screen bigger, take more space and be easier to read. Find the setting you are most comfortable with.

[MENTION=3322848]JakeDHS07[/MENTION] can you do it buddy? Other maybe quiet Senior Members care to participate? I promise no one will beat you up for your secrets, but we sure will ask. We can actually get somewhere with this if people participate. This is a really cool experiment if it works.

This will be saved for future reference by searching the thread for "dpi build.prop" or even "screen resolution" because I will seed this message with those keywords.

You can also seed your reply with these words for indexing. Thank you, thank you very much. :fingers-crossed: ;)

Thanks guys! :cool:

Mr. Ethan Chen is tearing it up! He has pushed like 200 updates in 2 days! That dude is the man!! :good: Installing 9/3 for spyder now!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Really! Hey, let us know how that rom works in a day, will ya 2¢? Your phone is a weather vane for the roms. Because your device is so sensitive to APN and signal issues, I would really love to see how it works on your phone. I was getting lots of orange bars on 8/28 and it was bad. I could not even download OTA the 09/30 build. Black screen too. I am on 09/01 now and I had some black screen issues at first but it seems to have settled down now. And, I do have a signal lock and no orange bars. I could not even get Play Store updates, always said "queued" instead of downloading unless I switched to WiFi.

Interesting. I cannot wait to see how your phone does on this new build. Thanks 2¢! :good:

P.S. I ran out of Thanks tokens for the day. Will get you when I can refresh a new batch. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Just scored this on the CM11 09-3 nightly. Fresh install, no JBX, no tweaks. Using the PA gapps 08-18 also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That's pretty good, Bob. Now we have something to try for and see if we can exceed. These tests are not that important, but they do show the ability of the phone and can be very helpful in finding out if we have config problems or even filesystem or OS issues. What did I get? 11,837 and you had 12.602. Pretty close. I never had scores quite this good and I know now I can get better. This is where configuration of the governors and I/O settings could bring in those extra points! DumbleCore posted some nice settings a ways back. Too tired now to go find them but I will look tomorrow.

Nice job! :good:

EDIT:

You know what? I just installed 09/01 and after a rocky start, it really did simmer down and has a strong and very nice signal lock. Of course, I really cannot tell until a day and night goes by, but it looks good. I am going to OTA to 09/03 like you and then run another benchmark, just to see if it improves or is not significant. Not going clean or scorched earth, just an OTA on a very tired system to see what happens. Gee, that update went pretty fast. OMG, there are 171 items in the 09/03 build, and I already installed it! In for a penny, in for a pound. Let me finish off and publish a benchmark just for fun. :laugh:

This is tricky and I usually have to reboot a couple times for a new rom to settle. Weather lock 35 seconds, Calendar lock 1:15 seconds, Signal lock w/no orange 1:40 seconds. Nice. Oh no. Dialer is good, contacts is an always FC. Not good. I can reboot again and if have to, clear data and let it download again. First, a dalvik and cache clean. Gosh this rom is so nice I do not want this to be happening. I am sure that a clean install would go fine. ...sigh. :(

I had to restore app & data from Titanium Backup to make contacts work fine again. Clearing data did not help. The next nightly will include an repair on Contacts.

Contacts: Add another missing tablet layout from cmcc merge.

Simple test: Contacts to maps to navigation.

Contact address to map location: 41 seconds.

Contact address to map location to navigation: 1:03 minutes/seconds.

Nice! I like this rom. Too early to really report but it just "feels good". Slick, fast, nice.

And finally, the big one. Previous Score: 11,837. Bob's Score: 12,602. 09/03 New Score: 12.121!

Better! Not quite as good as Bob, but close. I am happy and I hope I stay this way.

21,121 is very much "bottom of the comparison" scale. Right above it is the Google Nexus 4 at 22.000 and top of the chart, HTC One M8t 42,000. But for a Razr, this is "good", I guess. :p

Goodnight everybody! :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GreatItami:
Love how sad days thanks every reply.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, me too. I really wish he would post something, anything, just to give the guy some appreciation. Sad days plays a really important role in the group. He will give praise to anyone that participates in any positive way and that is a good thing. For the members who do not know all "the inner secrets of Android", they too get recognition for something so simple as to tell about their phone, being kind, speaking up. Everyone has a chance to be somebody and to feel important.

That makes Sad Days our #1 Moral Booster of the thread.

Thanks for bringing this up, GreatItami. I wanted to give him back "something" for what he does, and you just opened the door for me. Thank you. And Sad Days, this one is special, just for you.

XT910 CM11 AnTuTu

After upgrading to CM11 last week, I soft-bricked my phone when I tried to boot to recovery on a failed BMM install. Finally I was able to fastboot a Jelly Bean rom yesterday and revive the Razr. I had trouble rooting, especially because of a sudden aversion to flashing. But Vroot worked, and I installed Safestrap for the first time; it seems easier to use than BMM. I ventured to install the CM11 09/03/2014 Nightly with Safestrap and all went well.

The only minor quirks I have noticed so far--after choosing "Launcher" over "Trebuchet," I went to Settings/apps and there was no default to clear for Launcher. Then Play Store keeps trying to update my apps, even though I told it not to in the Play Store settings. I finally turned off internet access to Play Store with Droidwall.

I added those kk gapps, restored the backups for my usual group of apps, and froze apps I would never use with Link2SD. Otherwise the system is more or less as installed.

I downloaded AnTuTu and here is the result:

(the post preview doesn't show my screenshot, so just in case...my score was 12,900)

Whoa, whoa, whoa! 16K+ on a Razr? You are overclocking to 1.3GHz, yes? Nice. Give us your CPU Governor and I/O settings for your kernel and any significant tweaks that you did on this build/kernel please. Thanks Bob! ;)

Intelligent kernel is in trickster, WiFi scan is a buildprop edit.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks for sharing your system tweaks, Bob. Of course we are all happy. Getting a good tweak setup is nearly impossible for newbies and for experienced rommers, it is nice to see how "the other guy" does his phone. Me, I keep posts like this in a "files folder" for my Razr. I save the ones with screenshots as a pdf file and for text like this, I copy and paste into a text file and then, when ready to use it, I print the text page, take it to the couch, and play with the tweaks. Here, let me show you how I made your settings file.

So I make a library of things I discover in here to read and use when I need them. I include the post URL and the URL to fetch the JBX kernel. My text editor allows me to click URLs to visit so this is a very good way to save and use this valuable advice. By the way, I love the neat way you typed up this list of tweaks, perfect for copy/paste directly to text file. Nice job, Bob. Thanks buddy. :good:

EDIT:

Oh, before I get off here, I want to take a minute to confirm cm11, build 09/03. I installed it last night, was a bit nervous about not only so many updates, but the fact that, IMHO, the last week of builds were "junk". Slow, dragging, I got more intense black screens, and my signal icon was now orange most of the time. I did take the OTA update from a good build of 08/23 and right away, I really liked the 09/03 rom. It was slick, much faster than all the last week of August, and it just "felt right" in my hand. Some quick tapping to test apps that I commonly used and they all worked very fast again. I did say I would report on it the next day, to see how it performs after coming off charge and while driving around and using GPS.

The news is all good. Everything works and I do not have to wait forever.

CM11 09/03 is a very good build. I will back this one up and recommend it to all! :good:

EDIT: How to fix the Contacts App in 09/03

I found one bug in 9/3 that is easily fixed. Contacts will always FC. To fix it, open Titanium Backup and restore the app and data. Once done, you are rocking again. Might not have to restore data if you sync your contacts with Google after restoring the app. Sorry, I was so impressed with this rom that I forgot to mention this bug.

CM11 NTP time

I have another problem with this 9/3 Nightly, and I also saw it before on an earlier CM11 KitKat build. I like to have exact time in Android, so I have used ClockSync to set atomic time, but it is not working in CM11 KitKat. I have also tried another atomic time app, and it gets the same error, not able to reach a NTP server.

The only atomic time apps that work are the ones that use GPS and don't use NTP from the internet.

I guess it could be a Wi-Fi stability problem, but otherwise the internet seems to be working okay. I have had to download some apps two times in the Play Store, after an error, but the download has always worked the second time..

How to fix corrupted Contacts in CM11, build 09/03

Open Titanium Backup

Restore Contacts App & Data

Enjoy!

You may not even have to restore data. Just sync with Google and they will all come back anyway.

No no, it works. I am sorry, I forgot to mention that. You restore Contacts, App & Data from Titanium Backup and that issue is fixed. Yes, it does wreck your contacts, but Titanium Backup does an excellent job on restoring it in less than one minute. Other than that, no other issues so far.

John, if you are in 9/1 and want to go to 9/3, backup your Contacts app in Titanium Backup and restore in 09/03. If you do not have Titanium Backup (Everybody has this "Must Have" app.) then someone here might know the actual files to save from 9/1 to SDCard and put it back in 09/03. I cannot look for files now, making a backup. This is a really good rom other than the easily fixed corrupted Contacts. (Contacts will always FC when you try to access them.) :good:

EDIT:

Heh, by the time I discovered that Contacts would always immediately FC in 9/3, I was already in love with the rom and did not want to give it up for one app, albeit a very important app. This rom is almost liquid smooth and works incredibly well. I tried to clear data and when that didn't work, I took out my old buddy, Titanium Backup. That is probably one of the most essential apps that everybody has and is well worth the $5 I think it cost for the registered version.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

09/03 has a corrupted Contacts app. Other than that, it is really sweet and Contacts are easily fixed by restoring Contacts from Titanium Backup. Try the same thing with your issue with Google Voice. Restore it from Titanium Backup and see if it works. It sure worked great to fix the contacts app. :D

Thanks for the bug report, morr! :good:

NOTE:

I was going to insert the URL for Titanium Backup here and when I got to the market and started reading the new features and all the features of the Pro key version, I was amazed. There are so many useful things you can do with it, I could not even understand it all. But, they have produced a new 15 minute video showing how to use some of the advanced features and man, they are worth watching. I now know how to stop market updating and do it when I want, so many useful things.

For newbies and seniors who have not kept up with the changes in Titanium Backup, watch the new video! Tribute to Titanium Backup URL list:

Allen, I don't use Atomic Time on my phone but I thought I would try it to see if there are any problems syncing the time on 09/03. I installed ClockSync and checked my system clock, I was off 20-30 seconds. I did a sync and almost instantly, the clock locked in, dead on accurate. Seems to be no problem with 9/3. Thanks for turning me on to this cool utility. I just assumed that the phone would be synced because the time is always right to the minute. Now this will update it to the very second and it will do auto sync if I want. This is nice. Thanks Allen. :D

Since it is working for you on the same rom, it must be something I am blocking with Droidwall or Permissions Denied.

Help me, why the people and call history has a bug, always force close, sorry for my bad E
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kaziq:
I have just (somewhat worryingly) installed 09/05 nightly (up from 08/02), and relievingly my contacts and call history works fine. Either 09/05 does not have the bug (umts version), or it happens when upgrading from later versions only. Haven't tested more thoroughly yet, so I can't tell anything about other features.

Only one problem I can see right away is that the ribbon bar does not show the signal strength icon (only the tiny x indicating that the cell data is disabled). The icon is visible in the quick settings and on the notification bar though, so not a big problem for me.
