[Moto X General] CurbThePain:
Hi guys and gals, so I started doing some benchmarks a while ago on my moto x after seeing how poorly mc5 preformed on both it and my old Droid Maxx. My goal was to find the absolute best settings and kernel/ROM combination possible. It just so turns out that n5xpa was the absolute fastest ROM available for our device. Not only is it stock aosp/pa with all the pa beta features but it has a couple of extras added on. There is also a custom AOSP CAF kernel that is also over clocked with fast charge built right in.

If you want to boost your in game fps download resolution changer in the play store and set the resolution to 583 x 1024 and set your dpi to 240.

Attached are my benchmarks in antutu 5.2.0 and all my settings. P.S. I do use seeder.

Feel free to post the settings and apps you use and your highest benchmarks.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
This was using n5xpa? What version? Link?
[Moto X General] CurbThePain:
Heres a link http://n5x.mobi/motox

There are two versions of the ROM. The paranoid android version and cyanogenmod version. Cm is the only one posted in the xda forums.

Updated benchmark
[Moto X General] Johnny Wong:
Those are really impressive scores. It is hard for me to break 29000 on my Maxx overclocked to 1.944 GHz running Faux's kernel. Well done.

This is using Interactive governor for CPU and on demand for GPU, stock voltage, fiops for I/O scheduler. I ran this setup for a few months but currently running on Intelliactive governor to see if there is a noticeable difference on battery life. But with how big the battery is on the Maxx, I don't think it matters. Antutu score suffers greatly when on intelliactive. Usually scores around 27000 but the phone is just as snappy.
[Moto X General] CurbThePain:
I run a lower res around 563 x 1024 to 583 x1024 and I get major bench scores. And yes you really don't need a battery saving kernel on the maxx with its crazy battery. I had a locked maxx for a while. Just couldn't stand not having

cm or pa on it so I got a moto x
[Moto X General] rolberding:
What app are you using in the screenshot that shows your kernel's governor and clock speeds?
[Moto X General] imnuts:
I don't see how crippling your device's functionality makes it better, outside of your benchmark score. Lowering a device's native screen resolution just to show off to all your friends some amazing benchmark score is pointless.
[Moto X General] mr4dams@gmail.com:
I couldn't keep my battery drain down on n5xpa ROM. For AOSP I've found Liquid to be the best stablity/speed + battery once I set it right, intelliactive bfq with intelliplug on, mpdecision off. I'm finally back to stock now that there's a custom kernel option for sprint users finally. And to be honest stock is much better all around for me. It's faster, good ole stock touchless and active Features and my battery is doing quite well.
[Moto X General] orky87:
I have a small issue regarding contacts while trying to import my list from SIM. It simply says No Contacts anyone know why or how to fix? Also selecting 2G and the signal disappears 3G and LTE are the only working options. This is on PA 4.0 version.
[Moto X General] Lyokacanthrope:
So...you crippled your Moto X by flashing a custom ROM (removing any unique Moto features), lowered its screen resolution, overclocked it, and used a placebo application (Seeder) to get a slightly higher benchmark score.

And then made a post about it.

Good job.
[Moto X General] Quantumstate:
Don't listen to imnuts or Lyokacanthrope. They always p1ss on anyone who actually does something.

Pathetic.
[Moto X General] Lyokacanthrope:
Sorry? It seems pretty pointless to reduce the functionality of a flagship smartphone just to get 3000 more points in a useless synthetic benchmark.

Doing this, your screen clarity will be drastically reduced, your battery life will go to hell, and you'll lose most of the features that make this phone interesting.

I love tinkering as much as the next guy, but this is just plain silly.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Did something? It is completely crippling the phone just to get better benchmark numbers. I'll stick to my low benchmark, but still usable phone over anything mentioned in the OP. Installing AOSP is one thing, but the rest of the stuff that was done offers no increase in usability and is solely for increasing you e-peen.
[Moto X General] Quantumstate:
You two just criticize and find fault, while never offering an alternate solution. This is the lowest and sickest (in the old sense of the word) mindset, afaic.

Researchers must explore new methods and boundaries in order to make breakthroughs, which are always unforeseen by you ignorant lot.

Oh, you happily take advantage of new developments, which you'd impeded right up until they mature, and never give credit nor acknowledge your role in discouraging innovators.

Good job there. :rolleyes:
[Moto X General] Ptikjp:
I see everyone's point here. Though i feel it is very important that someone browsing this forum understand in order to get the "speed" gains that are being promoted, features are being removed and shortcuts are being taken. Nothing wrong with that. "Knowing is half the battle" - G.I. Joe
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Alternate solution: Leave your phone stock so it's actually usable. I'm not sure what you're looking for here, or in other threads with similar topics. There are times where alternate solutions are not useful, like this thread where the OP is illogical.

Turning down the resolution on a smartphone is like trying to get somewhere in a race car during rush hour traffic. Sure it goes fast, but what's the point?

Maybe it seems overly critical, but there isn't anything left when there are unreasonable, illogical, or some other similar post made.

[Moto X General] gcbxda:
does it impact battery positively?

i can see using a 800x600 resolution on days that all i want is 24h of voice gps and texting.
[Moto X General] Lyokacanthrope:
Quantumstate, you treat this whole thing like it's some major scientific breakthrough that will cure cancer.

It's just getting a higher benchmark score on a year old phone. (while, of course, outright gimping it)

Nothing more.

It's akin to buying a brand new PC and slapping Windows XP on it because it uses less RAM.

Actual, GENUINE, improvement would probably be something along the lines of getting increased real-world framerates and stability while not sacrificing any functionality. Say, a rewrite of the kernel hotplug driver and GPU governor. That'd be neat to see.
[Moto X General] Quantumstate:
No. Experimenting with various aspects of Android and taking a characteristic to an extreme, often leads to surprising results. It's the way science has always been done. If you perpetually follow the well-beaten path, you will always get average results.

This is what a few of you can not understand. But you go further than just dismissing these experimenters -- you go out of your way to criticize them. And that's when y'all deserve to be slapped, or else the whole development environment suffers.

It doesn't matter if you don't recognize the value. Take your frustrations out on something else.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
No, changing the resolution doesn't really do anything appreciable for the battery. You might get a little more due to the CPU and GPU working a little less, but nothing statistically significant.

How is doing what's always been done differ from what is a given? I'd be more concerned if all of the changes in the OP decreased performance. You do all of that stuff, you are guaranteed to get better benchmark scores, I'd say that is lower than average results.

I encourage legitimate development, but none of that ever shows up g here anymore. Legitimate experimentation would be getting significantly better benchmarks without hurting the hardware, battery life, or functionality of the device. Installing AOSP is one thing, kernel another. All credibility went out the door when the screen resolution was lowered and benchmarks used as the only measure of results.

I go to the gym regularly, as long as my schedule permits. Maybe you should try taking some classes in engineering, critical thinking, and logic, your posts suggest they are needed.

[Moto X General] Quantumstate:
You can look in the mirror, for why that is.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
And that shows just how little you actually know. It's more a factor of people such as yourself that stand up for stupidity, and the hundreds of other stupid requests that pushed developers away. Given that you probably have never released a ROM, mod, kernel or anything, I doubt you have any first hand knowledge of this though.

Come up with all the excuses you want, but I've chatted with enough developers to know why they avoid public forums such as XDA that your opinions don't matter. And honestly, I couldn't care less what you do our don't think of me.

[Moto X General] Quantumstate:
lol, mutual.

And the same to all your ilk, who criticize innovators.
[Moto X General] CurbThePain:
What's with the unfriendly replies around xda. I am here for friendly responses and info on how to customize my phone. Moto features are nothing special. We have 3rd party active displays what's the point of touchless control when all it does is crash and reboot my phone

I've used both the droid maxx and the moto x and they both crash and reboot when touch less control is on so what's the point. This thread is for sharing how to speed up the overall performance of the moto x. Before doing all that junk to my phone it lagged and stuttered in all the games I had. After it scored a 3000-4000 score boost and all my games ran flawlessly. You need to be polite or leave this thread.

Update.

If anyone is looking for great gaming performance flash cm12. You sacrifice some minor stuff for smooth gaming and a smooth ui
[Moto X General] CurbThePain:
Yea very much so. It nearly doubled my battery life.
[Moto X General] BrownDog99:
Well you clicked on the link, you must have been interested. And what's up with bashing custom ROMs? No, not many aosp, cm have stock features. Why even go on XDA to troll?
[Droid RAZR M General] livecouk:
This is wallpaper pack! Want new wallpepers? AND ALSO YOU CAN USE THEM IN YOUR CUSTOM ROM OR THEME!!!!! You have permission

Just thank me of you use :) nothing other

17 wallpaper!

I will update it :)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] The_Cel:
I was looking at the reviews on the Droid turbo and I notice that there seems ti be a complete lack of the verizon logo on the Ballistic version as compaired to the kevlar one as well as having slightly diffrent dementions and 64gb version. So I was wondering if it is infact the same internals or if the ballistic one is the same as the Droid Maxx just with the verizon apps or if all three are exactly the same sans software and looks.. Do they all have the same radios is the kevlar more locked down ect..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jaben2:
They are all the same. Only difference are the ballistic nylon has option for 32gb or 64gb. These one don't have Verizon logos on them.

The bgm models are red or black but only 32gb.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Manjews:
I would like to hear some more opinions on this. I currently have the 32GB with black kevlar, but I am considering exchanging mine for the 64GB for the extra space.

For some reason just can't convince myself that I will like the ballistic nylon. All of the reviews seem to love it but I wouldn't mind hearing some more opinions from users here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joshm.1219:
I love the nylon, best feeling phone I've owned in awhile.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zathus:
Its sooooooo sexy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wadamean:
The ballistic nylon wins hands down! The other looks for this phone feel and look cheap.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joshua_helm:
I love my 64gb Ballistic Nylon!!! Built like a tank but runs like a Lamborghini ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Andromjb:
BN, the only way to Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Manjews:
Thanks everyone for the responses. Really helped to ease my concerns lol. Going to go in tomorrow and exchange for the 64GB!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jaben2:
I'm running the ballistic nylon, but was set on the red just because I never had a red phone and I thought it looked great.

However the 64gb was the definite selling point and when I compared the two side by side just really liked the feel of the nylon better.

It's all preference though
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrnakashima:
I´ve got the ballistic nylon moto maxx (I´m in Brazil). For someone who came from the 1st generation moto x, the nylon feels very slippery, and since it´s a much bigger phone, I always feel like I could drop it. Other thn that, I´m very happy with the phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CoreyWillWhat:
I ended up getting the black Kevlar. My concerns were with long term use of the BN that it may fray, or get dirt in it which would be difficult to get out. It felt great when I held it in the store but I liked the slightly rubberized feeling of the Kevlar and thought it may provide a better grip. I'm sure the BN has its advantages such as a better grip with wet or clammy hands. Just thought I'd offer a counterpoint though. The 64gb is a definite advantage with BN
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jasoraso:
I came to the Ballisic Nylon Turbo from a 2014 Moto X with Leather. Here's what I've decided on "grippiness" and feel:

The leather back of the Moto X feels, and looks AMAZING. I had the Cognac leather back, and it is slightly tacky (especially after adding a little leather conditioner). However, the sides of the phone are metal, and are quite slick. I like to hold the phone by its edges, and the leather rarely would touch my palm. I like to put my pinky on the bottom of the phone, and the metal rim there was also quite slick. The result is that the moto x never felt really solid in my hand.

The Ballistic nylon is slicker, less grippy, than the leather back. However, the sides of the phone have a band of rubber. This actually makes the phone grippier in my hand than my moto x was. The little rubber "chin" at the bottom of the phone is also better for my pinky to rest on than the metal band on the Moto X. The result is that in my hand, I feel like the Ballistic Nylon is actually easier to hold.

I'm not sure how that compares to the Kevlar backs, but I thought it might be an interesting comparison.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] beddachedda:
I went in to the store to see which one I would like - I guess I'm in the minority, but I absolutely hated the nylon. Felt cheap and not as uniform as the other which has a bit of a tacky back, which I like.

I had also never run over the 32gb on my G2 that I had previously so the storage didn't really matter to me.

That said, I love the Kevlar Glass back, feels great.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Manjews:
I have to agree with you. I had planned on exchanging mine today for the 64 GB version. Went into the store and played with the nylon version for a while. After having had the Kevlar version for over a week I just wasn't a fan of the way that the nylon model felt in my hand. Like you mentioned, I prefer the more uniform feel of the kevlar model, due to the back being all one piece. I had wanted the extra storage space but I managed to get by with my DNA that only had 16GB of storage for two years with out issue so I figure I can manage with twice the storage of that device.

To each his own I guess. I will be sticking with the 32GB black kevlar.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chadster1976:
I have the red kevlar and I am somewhat concerned with the slipperiness of the phone. For whatever reason, I feel like the texture on the nylon would help with the grip on the phone.

I am getting a case for it anyway, so the slipperiness is a moot point once inside said holster of safety... but if I, for whatever reason, chose to not get a case, I would probably switch to the nylon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jaben2:
It's really funny reading these posts. Not to be rude but it is all subjective. One thinks the one they have feels better than the other.

I for one like the nylon better and thought it have better grip than the bgm model.

In the end pick whatever one you like and I definitely think it is better to hold them in person before choosing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrnakashima:
According to what read, neither models have a satsfactory grip. I can assure you that coming from the original moto x, the nylon moto maxx is very slippery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] scottysize:
Ballistic Nylon is soooooo freekin' cool. Why would you even consider anything else? Also, if you want the 64GB version, you have to go BN.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Dalast:
I did not get the Nylon because I do not need the 64GB option and I was concerned over time the threads might loosen and fray and the nylon would also absorb oils and dirt and get grungy. My concerns may be misplaced but that was my prior reason for not getting the Nylon and secondary was I heard the nylon made it a little thicker. Also the back on the non-nylon model still felt like a great improvement over the cheap feel of my prior SIII.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lukesdiesel:
I went with the Black Kevlar
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] makavelisk:
Anyone notice the nylon sticking up a little around the Motorola M on the back. I have taken it in out and out of the flip cover and it hasn't really gotten worse but I am still a little worried about the nylon fraying. Anyone else's fraying or sticking out a little??
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mattemer:
Yes, mine is around the M and camera. Barely, and even if you were to look at it quickly you might miss it, but I can feel it so I knew to look.

Hi,

On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.

G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.

So my current toy is to fix this :)

Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks :) )

RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.

I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.

It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.

And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows :)

So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!

Install :

- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory

- soft reset

Uninstall:

- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example

- soft reset

- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM

- delete RSSI_Icon.dll

See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll

First pic:

Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.

Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!

Second Pic:

Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.

Notice little 3G icon :)

Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)

---------------------------------

- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions

- Before installing uninstall previous version

I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apd:
Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] IRREAL:
Ok..work perfectly!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:
Installed... Nice tweak, congrats! :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] QAN:
3g tweak

I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] szilamer:
It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.

I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.

And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] szilamer:
Also try V2 version ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] JayRayMee.NL:
A very neat patch!

Works for me and both tested with GPRS and 3G networks.

Muchos Gracias!! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sparks24:

big g/u icon

Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??

If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vmiguel:
Not working

Hello all,

Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.

In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.

Any ideas?

TIA

vmiguel
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] szilamer:
I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.

It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.

The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.

The question is why..

Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] szilamer:
Yes, I understand.

It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.

Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?

If it's present, then something other is the problem.

Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.

I don't know :(

But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] StevePritchard:
Hi,

I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.

I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.

I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.

For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.

Cheers,

Steve.
