Personally, I believe the ideal setting for the hero (considering the available RAM and what is ordinarily used by the system) is either Strict or Aggressive. My available always rests somewhere around 70-80 mb, so I set mine at Strict (60 HA, 70 CP, 80 EA) and it always runs perfectly smooth. I used to keep it at Extreme and sometimes it felt stuttery. I guessed that it was because the phone was constantly trying to close background apps that weren't there to reach the benchmark set by the internal memory. Since switching, runs like butter.

Btw, I have used both with Compcache and without, and I notice a difference in how programs open and how multitasking runs. It feels like individual programs are a little bit snappier with Compcache enabled, but multitasking seems to be a touch slower. I mean there is an incredibly mild difference, really had to look for it hard to notice, but thats all that I could tell.

Curious

Just out of sheer curiosity, what kind of speeds (Linpack/Quadrant) are you guys getting on everyday settings? (Not the go kill settings that Dec, described in the OP) The best I've got is around 530 (Linpack) But with my conservative settings (710) I usually stay around 470-490.

Thanks, Don

Linpack 5.3, quadrant 460 with stable #11

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Just downloaded Quadrant on your suggestion..and got a score of 431 for everyday use..running at 768 Mhz...and linpack was 4.77..I think I need to get a higher quality sd card since mine is only rated at a 2..

Mac
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Enable jit and your score should go up another 20-30 points.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
I already had it enabled Bro..Should I increase the VM Heap from 16 to higher ?

Mac
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not necessarily... when you run the benchmark tests, make sure you bump up both the min and max frequency to 768.

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Got ya..will change the settings and try it again.

Thanks

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Only went up to 435..:confused:

Mac
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey phones are different, don't feel bad if your quadrant score isn't 550 but some people do. And really, on a hero, 435 is pretty kick but! And you're not that far off from me, I have 445-460, so don't worry, nothing's wrong with your phone :D

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Cool :cool:

So..what about increasing the VM stack and getting a high end sd...think those 2 will boost it any ?

Mac
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Possibly... what we have to remember is that all of these variables are per phone and situational; my best suggestion would be to mess around with the vm heap and compcache, and see what your phone likes :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] schmooo:
dude set your cpu to 729 instead of 768 makes my score go up about 50+ points
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AboveUnrefined:
Nothing negative, just remembering the good old days where people would put a new spoiler on their car to get 80 more horsepower and wipers for 10 more horsepower.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey anything to squeeze another 5 points on quadrant :)

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
You could check quadrant's system information option to ensure your CPU speed. Some hero phones don't like 768 and will default to 480. So 748 or 729 will yield good results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
With bfs #10 I get a how lock and it tracks fine for about 2 minutes then tracks about. 30 seconds behind and the distance to turn updates every 1/2 mile to mile then after about 5 minutes losses the signal if u wait a while and restart navigation it locks but is still behind I haven't tried a restart cause I flashed in hboot thanks Darch and regaw
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah that's what happened to me too, so I just went back to stable #11

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Nope...shows 768..so that isn't the problem. Even increasing the vm stack to 32,un-checking the dithering,and enabaling compcash,it stays the same..:confused: Oh well..like theimpaler747 said,some phones are just different. I can verify 1 thing has improved as impaler told me,and that is the battery life. 6 hours off the charger with everything on and I am still at 88% charge,and that is frigging awesome.:D:D:D

I'll try lowering it to 728 mhz and see if the scores go up..I don't see how..but I'll try it and see later on.

To Decad3nce for making this and to theimpaler747...for your help in getting this all set for me....this is for you both..

I'm running 8/30 nightly, decad3nce #11, battery tweak max set at 729mhz min @ 19mhz jit disabled.

I'm getting linpacks in the mid 2's and 3.0 range and quadrants of 300-330

what gives?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I'm confused? Is this a bad thing?

Turn off the audio hack in the battery tweak.

The #11 stable kernel.... its great for speed and battery life

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem man, glad to see that it's working well for you, and I echo your thanks to Decad3nce for providing us with the kernels :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Just flashed the #11 Kernel. When i go into Setcpu, it still has a max of only 528mhz. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hit menu, device selection, and autodetect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I noticed SetCPU did this pretty regularly for me. This is the main reason I went back to OC widget ... I would need to re-autodetect on a semi-routine basis. It got pretty annoying.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
They actually broke the auto detection with the new update. Now every time you reboot, you have to autodetect agin. Hopefully they'll fix this soon, since I like Set CPU the best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
Yeah but once you get your settings saved it doesn't need to autodetect after reboot to work. My settings stay intact after reboot even though the autodetection didn't work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm, right you are, didn't see that before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
This is correct, except because the auto-detection fails, when you try to open the program to adjust the settings it only remembers them half of the time. It kept my settings after reboot, but if I wanted to create or edit a profile or something, I tapped the widget and it told me that it couldn't detect the frequencies, and defaulted back to 528 max. Only if I reopened the program through the app drawer, then ran auto-detect again, did it find the frequencies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Went into Menu, Chose my device, there was nothing about auto detect anywhere that I noticed. This solution did not work for me. Is it possible Im using an outdated Setcpu? Running version 1.5.3. Still at 528mhz Max.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
OK that's the problem... you're running a VERY outdated set cpu, newest version is 2.0.3 :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Damn, does anyone happen to have the Apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Thanks for the link! Now when I go to flash the zip, its giving me no signature, verification failed error in bootloader.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Don't flash the zip. Extract it, put it on your sd card, and then use astro or any file manager to install the extracted apk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Awesome, got it working. Thankyou Impaler. What would be the best settings? First time OCing. Also unfamiliar with scaling and set on boot features. Complete OC noob, I know. =)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's OK :) The first thing that I would do is establish whether your phone can handle 768, as some can't. I would have the main setting on 768-691, and the screen off profile at 357-245. If you get any random reboots, then you need to lower to main setting to around 710-556.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Do I adjust that in the main window, or do I have to create a profile?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
I think I got it working. Using the widget to make sure the speeds stick. So far running 768/691 without a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool, and yes use the profile window to set your screen of frequencies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
I never turned it on? or are you talking about disable the stagefright.

thanks

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Yeah, the disable stagefright. By disabling it, you kill how the AAC decoder works and thusly harm the 'benchmark performance.'

But it's really just in benchmark performance that you'll notice a difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
ok thanks:cool:

ran the tests a few times and got an average for each now I have no idea what is better in "real world" settings what do you guys think I should run it at?

WITHOUT jit enabled.

quadrant

380 @ 729

413 @ 768

linpack

4.4-4.5 @ 729

4.6-4.7 @ 768

WITH jit enabled.

Has the ramzswap been added into the #11 stable kernel yet? Or should I just wait to download and flash it?

I don't believe it has been added yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
I'm running rc1 with #11 stable and overclocked to 729mhz I get 4.9-5.1 mflops and quadrant scores around 430-435.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Im gonna try it than. Love #9 so hopefully #11 is just as good. Also gonna upgrade to the 9/5 nightlie, im still running 8/28. So hopefully gps works with 9/5 and #11 kernel

[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
My jit is On.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
So is mine, I find it's slightly faster with it on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
I noticed that my phone became laggy with JIT so I disabled it and now its fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Some people have success with JIT and some don't, and either way, JIT doesn't really make anyones Hero that much faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:
Bfs newest one gave me best benchmark. But o could not stand the lag I got with it when trying to pull notification bar down
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would love to use the BFS kernel, but there were 2 problems stoping me from using it:

First and most importantly, a GPS lock would take about 2 minutes. This is actually an improvement over previous BFS kernels, but it stops me from using it. However it appears as though Decad3nce is getting close to fixing it, as lock times with GPS on the BFS kernels have drasticlly improved

The second reason why I use the stable, not the BFS is because on the BFS kernel, my homescreen would act goofy. It would switch screens even though I hadn't touched it.

But really, who needs BFS when the stable kernels are so good? I think we can live with 460 quadrant scores instead of 480 :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:
Hell i cant hardly break 400. with what ever kernel. i wander if it has to do with what i have running in back ground.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What are your settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:
Setcpu min and Max 768. Jit on. Nothing else changed. Actually getting better results from #11
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
you using battery tweak by phil? if so disable stagfright (audio) will help.

with decad3nce # 11 BFS # 10, 9/05 @768 im hitting 5.0 mflops and 430ish quadrant.

Hey Decad3nce, any chance of getting these kernels to work with the LCD density changer app? When I try to use the app and restart my phone, the density never changes, and I was wondering if perhaps that can be fixed by adding something to the kernel. Just wondering!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
All the app does is change the ro.sf.lcd_density= value in build.prop.

It's not anything kernel related. Post a question on the guys thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765639

[Hero CDMA Android Development] applefanboylol:
is #11 defaulted at 576.0 mhz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, it's defaulted at 691 with the option to go up to 768 with set cpu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] applefanboylol:
how come when i run limpack then save it says its running at 576.0 mhz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It fluctuates from 691 to 245 screen on unless you specify otherwise with set cpu. So when you ran your linpack, it was at 576 because that's where the kernel's governor told it to be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] applefanboylol:
ahh ok thank you for pointing that out

Is the stable kernel working with a swap partition? I didn't see any file for me to add to the stable, only BFS, so I didn't know if I could use my swap partition just yet.

im running 9/06 ntly with the stock kernal and dt ap2sd 2.7.5.c3 the sprint football app is running fine but everytime i flash the #11 krn the sprint football app quits working... yes ive uninstalled and reinstalled any other ideas also i get a lotta freezin ups on the #11 but wanna keep at it to try to reap the battery benefits i hear about on it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well if you have freezes and apps wont work, I wouldn't flash the kernel just for slight battery gains. The freezes are probably cause by setting your max frequency higher than your phone can handle, but I'm not sure why the sprint football app would stop working.

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!

Just an observation about Google Goggles. Oddly if you flash CM6 Nightly, any revision since around 08/05 Goggles runs fine. Flash your uncapped kernel (I've tried #7, #9 and the current #11 stable versions) and Goggles no longer runs. Apparently there's something different in your kernel than in the stock CM6 kernel.

By the way, for those interested, the recent Nightly Builds of CM6 appear to have an uncapped kernel! - One less thing to flash when upgrading to the newest nightly. Now if I would get Nascar and SFL working, I'd be in nervana.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mickdubs:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
I run #9 for a week & very happy minus a few FC's a day, pressing wait works..not a big deal. Have not tried #11 since #9 works so well.

About 8 hours on battery, wifi on most of the day, lots of texts & emails 30 minutes of calls @ 69%. Signal is normally -100db, during a phone call only the Airave kicks in giving me -45db. --Cant ask for more than that! :)

Battery would last slightly longer if the Airwave would stay connected all the time like it did with 2.1.

Wifi does go off, its not a big deal. As soon as the phone wakes up so does the wifi. Shut wifi off when not home.

When unplugging with 2.1 & Sprints kernal the battery went from 100-97% almost immediately. With this it can stay 100% for sometime depending on use.

I did do a battstat wipe and charge, still need to bump the battery then delete and charge to bring out the batt's full potential. Also run ATK and no set cpu.

This rocks!!! Thanks!!

Where do I push the ramzswap.ko to?

Is it under /system/lib/modules or is it under /system/lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod?

The reason I ask because with Darchstar #2 Kernel for 9/10 nightly, the rampzswap.ko is under /system/lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod

Do you notice a speed increase with swap enabled? I've tried but never noticed anything, although that could be due to my crappy class 2 card :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] altpersona:
im pretty new around these parts, im not 100% up to speed on all the in's n out's of these various mods...

iv been on latest Extremely CM froyo 2.2 for a couple days now.

im more concerned w/ battery life than performance (both are second to stability, i really dislike fc and reboots)... not that i want to completely sacrifice performance, i just want to be able to use my phone and not have to drive it from gas station to gas station...

iv read the first and last 10 pages of this thread so far, and im not really sure how these:

BrainFuct Kernel Releases BFS Release 09/03/2010

Stable Kernel Releases adnan@Decad3nce 09/11/2010

are different/same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
BFS is slightly faster, but less stable, and GPS doesn't work. The newest stable kernel is AMAZING; it's blazing fast, and completely stable. With set cpu controlling frequencies, you have performance and stability. I recommend stable 9/11. You won't be sorry! Let me know if you have any problems implementing them, and I'll be happy to help :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
how would you install/activate the swap? I know it involves adb shell, but I am unsure of the commands. If at all possible, could you please type them out so that I could copy/paste? Thanks so much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
First off, is your SD card already partitioned?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] altpersona:
before i bite the bullet, do i need to prep w/ the battery tweak / audio fix / what not? other than nandroid..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
no, how should it be partitioned? I can just copy/paste the entire contents to my laptop and drop it all back on in the correct partition or just leave everything there while I partition it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nope! Just nandroid and flash :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
OK so that's the first thing, boot into recovery on your phone, select partition SD card, select a swap size(32mb recommended) (put fat32 to 0) and do that first. Let me know when you've done that and then we'll go from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
ok got it. whats next?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Make sure you have the ramzswap.ko pushed to the right file: see a few posts up for what that is, just do an adb push to the proper file where it should be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
btw, i only have a class 2 card, does that make a difference?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
thats the part that confuses me---sorry to be a pain---do I just type "adb push to____" or is there an actual command?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Class 2 may not be as fast as a class 6, but it's good to try and find out! As for adb push you just type adb push your file /your location.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
ok cool, thanks a ton! I'll play around with this and load 9-12 (it was just posted btw) and let you know how it all works out
