Thx for the update!

Seems like every cooked ROM is a winner, the new ROMs are very close together in speed.

6MB Pagepool seems to be waste, 4MB is the same speed (plus 2MB more free RAM).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Interesting.

Thanks for testing mine also.

I guess as long as it works for me...

I just hate to see that 10+ mb's just sitting there.

I know there's other ways to use the ExtRom, I just figured merging the partitions made the most sense. oh well. :rolleyes:

But as I said in my thread: "I ran Schaps 3.54c w/o Ext Rom for almost 2 months and never had any issues.

It ran just as good as the one with the Ext Rom.

So I did the same for the 4.01's"

Thanks Again,

Berd

Great! Thank you very much for testing the roms! :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Benchmark is not the daily use - it is just testing according to some pattern - and this one collides with SuperStorage ROMs. I have used superstorage before it was fixed and had to HR several times. I have no need to use another 10 MB because I put everything I can on the SD card (because I flash very often - I can just copy .lnks back to the start menu and go - fast restore). If your ROM works for you then it is perfectly Ok to use. I do not believe that there are people willing to change their ROM just because of benchmark results.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
6MB Pagepool may be a waste for benchmarking, but some programs just work better with it (Matt keeps 6MB pagepool for a reason - I think RAM intensive apps like it, also 6MB pagepool os the default on official ROMs so it should be the best tradeoff between speed and stability).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
K's is super (1.21 and 1.30, didn't try 1.30a yet) and according to my SPB Benchmark tests it's even the fastest ROM around. Don't know if KarhU finds the same results...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
hi KarhU,

I notice a slight difference between your in testresults and my own.

Most of the time my results are a littlebit slower than yours.

When I repeat a test, just to make sure, the result are almost exactly the same as the first time. Any idea about our differences?

I use the most recent SPB Benchmark on a TyTn. I never make changes in settings before testing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
I always use charger while testing (I do not want to kill the battery right away) - this adds around 40 points to the overall benchmark results compared to batt only tests. I usually test the ROMs more than once because results vary and publish the best ones. I do not really know what cause the variability of the results, but I try to keep a methodology so the results are comparable. Maybe there are slight differences between our devices too (different memory chips batch and so on).

Regards,

KarhU
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
I was hoping you would have updated the above comments by now.

After you first mentioned the issue you had with my rom, I immediately went back and fixed it (matts suggested fix).

I have ran three sbp tests on it, and have had no issues.

(freezes, crashes, or otherwise)

I hope you may find time to give it another test.

I will be glad to send a donation for your time.

Thanks,

Berd

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Nevermind,

After doing some more research, it seems that some devices just crash easier than others.

So I guess it's better you don't even risk it.

I will go and delete the roms.

I would hate to see someone ruin their device, just to try and gain a measly 10mb. :o

Thanks Again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Hello Berd!

I will erase the sentence as it is nonsensical now. It should not crash on other devices if it works on one - that would indicate hardware failure/change (i.e. bad blocks in NAND). Maybe I should date the ROMs so they can see how old the version of the ROM was. Nobody can RUIN a device by running your ROM - Benchmarking is a stress testing - something normal users will never do - and as you said it worked flawlessly for you ever since you used your ROM. I do not wish any ROMs to be pulled just because of this thread/bencmark results. I think I should write more about the Benchmark limitations.

Regards,

KarhU

I've intalled the 4.30 in French and started to test it : GREAT JOB Schaps !

I've noticed a small issue regarding the Keyboards. I've got a French one (azerty) and the 'a' and 'q' keys are swapped with the blue associated keys as well.

Is anybody have a tip to re-configure my Hermes on a proper way ?

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
This is not a proper thread where to ask but anyway:

You can change keyboard layout using Schap's Advanced Config (you will find it in settings or in Programs>System). Just select your layout and press done, then restart your PDA and you should be set.

Waiting for the results of the new ones these two weeks....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
Just thought I would give this thread a bump. I am wondering how these new 3.62.3 ROMs with big storage are going to stack up.

KarhU, where arhU?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Hello guys, I am sorry for not feeding you numbers in your time of need :) I was working on my other projects (I localized three apps into Slovak and Czech languages) and also dealt with some off-line (real?) life issues. You can expect the benchmarks updated in next few days. However I think I will wait a little, because with the emergence of legit WM 6.1 all of the major cooks will upgrade their ROMs (features like threaded SMS are too cool to be left out). So I expect Schap's, kin0kin, Matt, Pay, Randomize, shamanix, Berd and others to provide us with some high quality stuff soon. Later today I will post the results for the new PDAViet 6.1 ROM So stay tuned!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
New WM 6.1 PDA Viet benchmark results added. Rom outperformed all the older ROMs in "File Explorer large folder list" by quite a margin (25% faster than previous fastest ROM in this area). Other than that its results are average.*

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Skabsy:
Hi and excuse my niaveity as new to this. According to your results here, are you saying that with the Schap's roms that I tend to use, the lite versions are better than the full?

Thanx and big shoutout to KarhU for starting this off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Guys, I did some benchmarking with newer ROMs and I got unusually low results. I will further investigate into it, but can please someone test the Pandora 8.3 beta and Shamanix' Ultimate 2.1 using the methodic on the first page of this thread? I got results of 340 and 346 respectively in the overall benchmark result after multiple benchmarking of each ROM (as these ROMs are lite ROMs the results should be better - around 360, but maybe the culprit is somewhere else - such as ROM base or cooking tools). I want to eliminate possibility that the results are flawed due to my device as some people base their ROM selection on these results. Thank you for your support.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] neva dinova:
i might be wrong but aren't most of the big storage roms a little slower than their regular storage counter parts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
It depends - some superstorage ROMs tend to be slower. But the fastest ROMs are the "Lite" version almost invariably. (but then again the biggest difference is made by the amount of available RAM - the less today plugins activated, the better benchmark result). That is why I want to improve the benchmarks - see the link in the first post.

Well,I tested really many roms.Faster roms are roms who haved 31 mb of ram after install...If you use a lot surfing on the Internet,more ram is very important.Also,clean lite roms are so far best.And much stable.Many cooked roms have some "stupid" addons who take ram memory..After many test I can confirm that is Grass 2.2 much faster (and Black roms) bcs they are very naked and very fast.Applications like Igo 8,or Opera browser are much faster in this roms.Full roms with many preinstalled softwares,who comed with 22-25 mb of available rams after few programs running are very slow....very...useless...Clean roms are best for users.I used few roms with Manilla and some other Today craps...They use large amount of rams.And look only good..But slow and useless for any work...Sry if my eng is very bad...My advice Grass 2.2 with 31.8 mb free ram (amazing fast)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forrestgump2000:
Recently, I've been experimenting with increasing the security of my phone which was recently migrated to CM (12.1) and TWRP (2.8.5.0). Let's just say that it did not go well.

First, I tried enabling a password for my TWRP backups. I set the password/encryption option and the backup seemed to complete fine.

Problem 1:Next I tried encrypting my phone. The encryption worked fine, but once the phone was encrypted, I noticed that TWRP lost the ability to create a nandroid backup. As soon as I enabled encryption, TWRP now prompts for a password automatically when it is launched. However, when I typed my passphrase, it says "Password Failed, Please Try Again".

Problem 2:Given that I've lost the ability to do a nandroid backup, I decided to revert the decision to encrypt the phone. Which basically means wiping the phone and restoring my latest nandroid phone. The wipe went fine and the restore proceeded without error. However, upon booting up the phone, it acted as if it just went through a factory reset. (e.g. a cleared /data partition). Just as an experiment, I tried restoring a week-old TWRP backup that was not password-protected. Once I rebooted the phone, its state was identical to how it was when I backed it up. I tried going into TWRP to restore the more-recent password-protected backup, but this time I purposely typed the wrong passphrase. It said that the password was incorrect. So I typed the actual passphrase, restored the backup, and once the phone rebooted, it was back to the factory-reset mode.

Conclusions:

TWRP 2.8.5.0 cannot back up an encrypted phone. At least my M8.

TWRP 2.8.5.0 cannot restore password-protected backups.

While an encrypted phone and encrypted nandroid backups are a good idea from a security perspective, they appear to just not work. The fact that the features are advertised as working is frustrating.

Questions:

Will a newer TWRP version address either of the problems? I installed 2.8.5.0 as I had heard of some issues with newer versions.

If TWRP doesn't work for this, is there another recovery image that will both backup encrypted phones as well as support the creation and restore of password-protected/encrypted backups?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forrestgump2000:
Note that I tried the latest 2.8.7.0 build of TWRP: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html . Although the title in that page says "all variants", the URI includes "GSM" which my phone is not. However, I can't imagine why there would be carrier-specific builts of TWRP in the first place. 2.8.5.0 is the latest Verizon-specific build of TWRP for the M8: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8verizon.html

Anyway, when I try to do an encrypted backup with 2.8.7.0, I get:

createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

Which apparently has been reported by others:

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/452

I get the impression that this stuff isn't close to ready for prime time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forrestgump2000:
Although I suppose that erroring at backup time is better than backing up w/o error and then only noticing that there's a problem at restore time (when you really need it). For what it's worth, looking at an encrypted TWRP file (e.g. data.ext4.win400) that was created by 2.8.5.0, it does indeed look to be encrypted. It has high entropy and magic bytes of "OAES". But something about the restoration of such a backup fails. It's not clear at this point if the two issues are related.
