Whoa .. incredible numbers altho suntetic tests but still fastestSENSE rom i measured in my device

Edit: just to mention i was running at 691MHz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Those are some pretty good scores. In my experience, you can achieve them without even trying, which is what impressed me most with VillainROM6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Walto:
indeed.. i was villain fan some time ago but vanilla roms were much faster.. but this might keep me in "Sense-mode" now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
SuperHero 1.1

Linpack - 2.12

Softweg (cpu score) - 153

something must be wrong though, I used it before Chrono's ROM and it was working a lot faster... now flashing after the ROM and its a bit sluggish. any solutions? (i did a complete wipe and a new partition as well)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You added a new kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
the problem with neocore is that it use open,gl 1.1 so it's kinda outdated

most 3D games are opengl 2.0 ... correct me if i'm wrong
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
Superhero 1.1

JIT enabled, ben10 kernel being used.

anyone else see the 5.5 linpack scores using Darchdroid??

someone plz give Crono's 1.4.1 results!

CPU setting: on demand 518MHz-691MHz (So, supposedly tested at 691Mhz)

It's quite clear here that the power that JIT enables (as shown by ZeppeMan) is just amazing and proves that there's still some juice left in good old Hero! Let's hope all the future Froyo ROMs will be based on it.

Interestingly enough after turning the compcache off and rebooting my mobile and running the exact same test trice again the mobile got... Slower? Coincidence or shall I turn it back on? It's mainly in softpeg so it may not be accurate. Maybe I should run some more tests in PI or something.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
from my experience it makes little to no difference at the start how compcache is set. but after extended use (a day or two) with compcache on I find my phone slows to a crawl at times, other times it's fine. with compcache off the whole time my phone remains fast.

I do'nt know if I'm unique though since I have a small cache partition on my stock speed-2 2gb sd card. So it might mean I get different results compared to other people who don't have the cache partition. I imagine my cache partition is slow enough to be a problem if it gets used when compcache is disabled, however I find my phone still performs great with compcache disabled.

which means I have no idea LoL

I'll shutup now :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Well, my phone was doing fine speed-wise all together I just though that I could squeeze some more juice out of it at virtually no cost. Coming to think about it I have no swap partition as VillainROM apps2sd guide at XDA suggested not using many and that might have been a mistake. On the other hand SD card performace would not have anything to do with CPU/GPU speed but maybe only storage performance. I don't know. I'm using a stock card as well, it's not a demon of speed but I've run few tests on it on PC before putting it into my mobile to use as apps2sd extended partition and it reaches a bit over 4MB/s for files over 512kb in size and much less for smaller ones. Given that most apps that I use are over 1MB in size (much more usually) it should be fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:

...this is just AMAZING! It lacks Live Wallpapers but the performance is just stunning. Will try 1.5.1 JIT released today later on and most my results as well (that is if 1.5.1 BFS/JIT is not released before). Let me just say that Raging Thunder 2 finally runs smoothly and is a pleasure to play.

Can't wait to see what's gonna be made of official 2.1 ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Very nice results !

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I know! I was amazed myself!

Anyway, some more testing today. Most probably VillainROM 10 and Cronos 1.6 JIT if it gets released bug-free and if I'll have free time to do so.

Before I get to test those official ROM based beasts mentioned aboove I finalized my CronosDroid 1.5.1 testing and here are the results:

Cronos 1.5.1 @691 JIT

Neocore w/ sound: 28.3

Neocore w/o sound: 32.5

I just wanna remind that all the results that I post are always best out of three runs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Right!

I'm back with another major release benchmark for all those who are wondering which ROMs are the fastest...

Anyway... This time it's VillainROM 10.0 @691:

VillainROM 10.0 @691

Neocore w/ sound: 32.7

Neocoe w/o sound: 32.4

Linpack MFLOPS: 3.017

Softweg CPU: 206.69618

Softweg GPU: 143.76305

Quadrant: 253

BenchmarkPI: 9290 (less is better)

As you can see it's not as snappy as JIT based ROMs are but it's real fast for a non-JIT ROM (faster than previous 6.2.1 version) and everything (apart from Live Wallpapers) works literally out of the box.

Side note: something's weird here... Just take a look at Neocore (with sound) results - they're far better than the one's of JIT ROMs... Amazing! That said Neocore did FC on me after each and every test but still the results are stunning.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
have you tried Superhero with JIT enabled?

would you say its more snappy?

where is villainrom10? still doesnt seem as good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I honestly was thinking about tring out Superhero but when I read more into it it seemed that JIT had to be enabled and disabled (which in my opinion is quite good idea) by hand because (here come the *bombs*) it was very unstable. So, effectively I decided against running that test & I am waiting for Superhero based on official ROM rather than port, so I will test it then. I am saying all that cause I've tried JIT enabled CronosDroid which was not only MEGA fast but also stable as a concrete wall.

VillainROM can be obtained at villainrom.co.uk (but you may need to set up your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4).

At the moment the most important release for me to try out is going to be Cronos 1.6 JIT and VillainROM with JIT (if they release it) or Superhero (new with stable JIT). I've got plenty of apps and require a lot of power to run it - well, as much as Hero can push. ^__^ That said, for the next few days I will be only testing different ROMs and not setting either of them to use as I wanna make one and final decision that I will stick to. ^__^ Until Froyo... ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arimozuki:
can anyone please post the results for the official 2.1 ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
i thought the Hero wont be recieving froyo.

i cant wait for decision kad3t... i was doing all of this testing as of last week but i got caught up with some work so i cant

looks like you'll make my decision for me lol.

i think villainrom's were ready to release their new update but now because of 2.1 out, it might take longer.

heard crono's 1.6 is unstable and i dont want to use 1.5 unless none of the 3 ones you mentioned are good enough compared to it.

yes plzzz give official 2.1 benchmarks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Well, Hero is not getting 2.2 officialy but it changes nothing. We didn't had 2.1 officialy for a long while yet we had loads of 2.1 ROMs. ^__^ I'm glad I can help with making up your mind. ^__^

VillainROM just released 10.0 yesterday based on official ROM and it's OK. It's very fast for a non-JIT ROM but it's still not the speed that I am looking for but... If they fix Live Wallpaper support I might just use it as it leaves loads of free memory on the device unlike 6.2.1.

As for Cronos 1.6 is currently unstable - heck, it's even called 1.6.1 Unstable. ^__^ But... I am waiting for 1.6 JIT - and that's the beast I wanna laid my hands on. ^__^

Out of the one's that I've tested so far I could give two recommendations for two different reasons:

1. Cronos 1.5 BFS/JIT (BFS Kernel + JIT Compiler)

It's very fast. And by very fast I mean that Raging Thunder 2 was playing smooth like never before. If not for the fact that the official ROM was released yesterday + there's no LW support that'd be the ROM of my choice.

2. VillainROM 6.2.X or 10.0

Why both? Well, they're both great all rounders with 6.2.X being a bit more feature-full and 10.0 being based on an official ROM and just a tiny bit snappier (far from Cronos 1.5 speed though).

Let me just make it clear - both recommendations are rock hard solid stable and did not hanged on me once (and I OC'ed those badboys running various test for long periods of time - also different benches than only the ones posted here) but they're both have different strong points. Cronos 1.5 BFS/JIT- speed; VillainROM 6.2.x/10.0 Features + OTA Updates.

Regarding official ROM I'm not quite sure if I wanna go down that path... I heard of people loosing they're recovery and getting into non-downgradeable state. I may have to say no to that request for the time being, I'm sorry. That said, VR10.0 is based on official ROM, so you may expect official ROMs scores to be just a tiny bit lower. ^__^

Btw. if the almighty feeyo releases 1.6 JIT tonight, expect the review later on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
thinking about just flashing villain10 for the time being until feeyo can pull out 1.6JIT with 4.8+ mflops lol

any word on him releasing it today or tomorrow? he usually is really fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
hey you havent gotten the crono's mixed up have you?

earlier you tested 1.5.1 with JIT

and then you recommended 1.5bfs+jit

or is that what you are actually recommending...

i got lost when i went to his forums lol

http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=20&sid=2f9d95b6c926c21763ea4741132a49c2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Well, he actually released it yesterday but it was not tested and did not boot. So, he took it off and he's testing it now as he vouched that he shall not release anything untested no more. ^__^

Personally I hope for tonight +/- 4/5 hours from now but I can't promise anything as even though I follow all major forums I do not know developers personally - so no inside knowledge here, I'm afraid. ^__^

Cronos 1.5 BFS/JIT runs at 4.8+ MFLOPs easily but like you mentioned it's time and place to wait for something HERO based now. ^__^

As for VR10.0 I had virtually no problems with it (apart from lack of LW but that can't be classified as a problem) but some people had some minor issues - check here:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=68

VR6.2.x at the moment has no issues at all, but it's, well, hmm, *dead technology* and I don't think it's gonna be supported and I belive all the attention goes towards ironing out everything regarding VR10.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
It's on page 11 - I've tested 1.5 BFS/JIT as well. ^__^

And there's more tests to come cause I'm still looking for the *perfect* ROM - especially now, when we're in the light of official 2.1. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
i know this would be the wrong thread to ask in and am hoping you could reallyyy help out on this question...

he has like 4 versions out, i would have no idea which one to pick...

1.5.1 stable

1.5.1 jit

1.5 bfs stable

1.5 bfs + jit

mind posting your scores to these versions? (just linpack) if you dont mind!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
should i basically be waiting for a 1.5.1 BFS + JIT? (or will that not come out now because of 1.6)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
just curious as to why 1.5.1 cant get the same linpack as 1.5 did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Right. Basically the BFS version uses modified kernel which is newer and said to be faster. The .1 thing is next to non-BFS version only because there were some issues with it and they have been resolved, so the .1 version was released. The BFS version did not had those issues so no .1 there. ^__^

I wouldn't wait for it cause there's no problems with 1.5 BFS/JIT hence no .1. And yes, I belive all the Feeyos attention will be geared towards 1.6 as it's based on official Hero ROM.

Don't know if it helps but that's the basic differences. I'd go for 1.5 BFS/JIT if I were you and wait for something newer like 1.6 JIT. Or stay at whatever soft you're at now and not flash anything until Cronos 1.6 JIT comes out. Or new SuperHero cause that one may be quite fast and finally stable...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
You mean the scores?

Well, different kernel I suppose and just general "heat of the moment" - as when I do my tests I always post the best one out of three runned but with Linpack I do ten and not three cause it's so much faster to run (same with BenchmarkPI).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
that was perfect, thank you so much for your help!!! flashing 1.5bfs+jit now and will wait on you for the rest of the results. sorry for taking you in a complete circle but i did end up getting crono's over villain10! haha.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I'm downloading the latest Androbin (based on official ROM as well) with JIT support and will post my scores after thoroughly testing it. I have some other things to do first but I should start flashing it in about ~30-45 minutes and testing afterwards and if everything goes smooth the results should be posted here in less than 2hrs... or a bit later if something caches my attention before. ^__^

Still waiting for 1.6 JIT... And new SuperHero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
nice game reviews btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
LOL! Thanks! New one coming tomorrow...

New benchmark's gonna be posted in about 10-15 minutes. As I've only got Neocore to run various time and write down my feelings towards it. It's gonna be a weird one, I've gotta say it now... ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Hey,

I'm back! ^__^

And yet another benchmark behind me. Before I get into boody digit-heavy details let me just say something... This ROM, that I tested looks just amazing! Honestly, looks like Froyo, even though it's only 2.1 but the white theme along with a bit different way thing look and work is just awesome!

Anyway, let's get cracking with the numbers!

Androbin CR1 @691 BFS/JIT

Neocore w/ sound: 3.55

Neocore w/o sound: 4.1

Linpack MFLOPS: 4.786

Softweg CPU: 388.89868

Softweg GPU: 142.29218

Quadrant: 298

Benchmark PI: 7258 (less is better)

This ROM is something else. It clearly positions itself in between Cronos 1.5 GFS/JIT and Cronos 1.5.1 JIT, so it's really fast & snappy. The theme and general looks of UI are stunning and a pleasure to look at (and use). It would've been my ROM of choice until Froyo 2.2 (yet, I'd test some more even if I chose this one) if not for one small and yet so big thing - OpenGL. It's so darn slow... I mean it lags behind the speed of my thought and I'm dumb! Also there's plenty of graphical glitches - at least in Neocore - that make it look odd to say the least. I will see if I can find a workaround it and/or patch/solution but for the time being I'm honestly disapointed because I thought that this was something else, something much better - until I runned Neocore. Oh, and just to mention the glitches and odd colors in benchmark are not CPU overheating as the phone's quite cool and everything works fine everywhere else. I will see how it runs Raging Thunder 2 before I make any final decisions about it but so far this is a deal breaker for me, I'm afraid.

Edit: What's weird though is that the Neocore benchmark results show up in a really small font on a side of the screen rather than how they used to in other ROMs in big font in the middle. Maybe there's something odd happening with the scalling or sth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Same issue wit Neocore and other games :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Yeah. Raging Thunder 2 won't even run for me.

Anyway, I suppose it's a minor OpenGL issue that can be resolved in a reasonable time period and in the mean time reagrdless that I loved this ROM I will test some of the other new ones coming out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndroHero:
Re: [Benchmark] 3D/OpenGL performance across ROMs

Raging thunder 2 works for me on neo's legend rom but runs at maybe half or 3/4 the framerate it should
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
LOL! ^__^

I have no problems with RT2 at any other ROMs, at some of them (Cronos 1.5 BFS/JIT) it even runs smooth as a devil. It's just this ROM that it wouldn't start up but I belive that it will be looked into by the developer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Hey,

Now, have I got something exciting for all of you to hear... Or read... Whatever.

I've tested another ROM and I'm happy to say that it may very well be my next ROM of choice (though I _WILL_ test other new ones, so have no fear) as it is fast, beautiful (Froyo 2.2-ish) and stable. And on top of that supports Live Wallpapers with no fiddling around it.

It is not stated anywhere yet but it looks like it's another JIT ROM, well judging by the scores it is a JIT ROM and a pretty decent one, I must add.

EzHero 1.2.1 @691 (most probably JIT as well)

Neocore w/ sound: 28.4

Neocore w/o sound: 32.4

Linpack MFLOPS: 4.795

Softweg CPU: 348.16782

Softweg GPU: 155.73726

Quadrant: 292

Benchmark PI: 7050 (less is better)

Now, as you can see Cronos 1.5.1 BFS/JIT may be faster but that's about it. It does lack a tiny bit behind in terms of Softweg CPU score but it makes up for it with higher Softweg GPU & BenchmarkPI results. It is very fast and I had no problems with it yet, so I will recommend it as a ROM to use until Froyo. ^__^

More tests soon...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Hey,

ExHero 1.5 was release earlier on Today with included BFS kernel, so I decided to give it a go... Here's what the results were:

EzHero 1.5 @691 BFS/JIT

Neocore w/ sound: 30.4

Neocore w/o sound: 34.4

Linpack MFLOPS: 4.829

Softweg CPU: 367.06262

Softweg GPU: 158.11182

Quadrant: 298

Benchmark PI: 7070 (less is better)

It's hard to decide what I think of speed of this ROM. Previously fastest Cronos 1.5.1 BFS/JIT still wins in terms of CPU score in Softpeg by a huge margin however this one seems to be on par or even faster with some of the other tests (Neocore!)... It'd have to say that it's down to personal preferences and stability on certain devices now. Some would choose Cronos some would go for ExHero or VillainROM or even others... Personally I'll test this ROM for a bit more and if it'll be as stable as 1.2.1 - apparently it's not for some though I had no problems with it yet - I'll stick to it as I loved 1.2.1, so I see why I should keep newer version.

I will still test other ROMs nonetheless. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Benchmarks are just benchmarks, they are not relevant to the real-life behaviour of the ROM. I say this having very much experience in PC overclocking :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
You're obviously right.

But, so far out of the ROMs that I have tested and used extensively for a period of few days VillainROM 6.2.X, Cronos 1.5 BFS/JIT & EzHero 1.2.1 JIT did not appear to have any issues, runned beautifully with no FC's and have been useful as day to day basis ROMs. The latter two being also very fast & the very last one having interesting Froyo-like theme that I instantly loved.

So, as for these three I can honestly say that they're rock hard solid stable at @691-537 ON & @245-345 OFF.

When it comes to ExHero 1.5 I just had it weirdly behaving covering the screen with purple-ish interlace-like tint that looked as if the CPU was overheating but with phone being cool I suppose it's not the CPU but the kernel that caused it. That said I reverted back to 1.2.1 and will await future update of this and other ROMs. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
crono's 1.7 plz!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I just noticed that it showed up here but there's no download link - even od devs own forum yet. I wonder if it's JIT enabled as it doesn't say that it is but seems to be quite feature rich otherwise - apart from not being white froyo beauty. ^__^

I will test it or the JIT version if that one comes out when I get my hands on it. Which is quite odd as I've spent 3hrs today trying to rescue my phone from half-bricked state. ^__^

Thanks but I've tested 1.5 BFS/JIT already and 1.5.1 JIT and don't feel like going through older ones. On a side note 1.7's release have been moved for tomorrow as Feeyo (developer) encountered some booting issues with it.

Yeah, I think I'll wait till few other people istall it on their mobiles and report that it's actually working.
