Root mflops?

I am new to all of this... like half the forum now. :o

I have now tried EE, WW 4.4, KaosFroyo, Aloysius V12, and XTR3.03 and out of these on my Eris, the XTR 3.03 is by far the snappiest and most stable. I run Launcher Pro, 5 screens and 1 dock, with no rotation on homescreens.

I do not have Apps2Sd installed, but I am running JIT on it. My SetCPU is 748/528 and the Linpack results for 5 in a row were 4.9, 5.2, 5.1, 5.2, 4.9

I guess that is ok by what I see here. The phone is a lot faster with this ROM than any of the others for me. Just seeing the difference when going Menu/Settings/About Phone/Battery is more than enough to make me smile. I hated the lag and wait before that I had..

Did you try xtrROM 2.1.1 as well as 3.03? I found 2.1.1 to be so fast as to seem instant in its menu and app loading.

I've wondered if others noticed that difference.

I was looking last night for 2.1.1 but couldn't find it. He no longer has links to 2.1.1 that I saw.
 
My results with KaosFroyo, OC'd 787. Not sure what its doing for me LoL... Just trying to keep up with all of ya...

i'm running aloysius v11 and with the stock kernel get 710 no problem, stable and fast. but when i upgrade the setcpu to the current version in the market. the max mhz is 528. then if i nudge the bar to 710 it reboots.

i reflashed aloysius again and now have the stck setcpu that comes with that rom and its back at 710 again, running fast and smooth.

How can I get higher performance and get higher mflops? I'm currently averaging around 2.8 to 2.9/ never gone over 3.

I'm in the same boat pretty much. Right now I'm using WW 4.6 with JIT and OC to 710. I usually stay around 2.3-2.5. How are you guys getting such better results...and also how are you OCing to high? anything past 710 always crashes my phone (although I haven't tried with this rom).

did you flash zanfurs oc kernel?

i just went and reflashed the standard aloysius v11 rom and using the stock kernel, old version of set cpu and now crusing at 710. no issues, no lag. But I keep reading at XDA how some guys get 3+ mflops. I just can't get those speeds.

Right now on White Widow, I'm getting 3.1 mflops at 710 Mhz. On the Suave Smush ROM, I somehow acheived 4.5 mflops!

I confess to it being mostly 4.6 or 4.8; have not hit the 5 threshold yet, consistently.

Rooted but with no OC saw it around 2.8 running just about any ROM, which made me want to know the technical reasons that some ROMs seem more responsive, quicker to load menus and apps, than others. xtrROM 2.1.1 is the fastest I've tried, Evil Eris 3 the slowest, talking about user experience/user perception, not any measurement of speed.

Mentioned above, mflops are not the only consideration.

Well I'm using Droid Does and I can only max out at 2.9... OC'd at 768... but this is the most smooth ROM I have ever used. So I'm not so sure as to the direct correlation between MFLOPs and speed.

Funny you'd mention that. Recently I've come to think that there is a point of diminishing returns on that correlation.

Unclocked I'm seeing lots of speed in xtrROM 3.0.3. Mflops at about 2.8 most of the time.

And, no kidding, mflops at 4.2 with it clocked at 710 showed me a wee bit more snap in the menus, but nothing to write home about, especially given the tug on battery life and a bit of heat generated if on the phone a while.
 
with plainjaneT2 and OC 768 I average around 3.2

with xtrrom jit enabled and OC to 806 I average round 5.4

maybe I dont pay close enough attention...... but too me theres really no difference in noticeable speeds

there may be a performance diffrerence in some apps that Im not really seeing......... but in my mind the user perception is the only thing that matters......... and my experience isnt enhanced any by a higher mflop score
 
I am in agreement with that, copestag.

Factor in the taxing of the CPU, battery drain and perhaps heat, and we have little need for overclocking with a good ROM in a rooted Eris.

I'm wondering about 2.2 a bit.. I experienced something the opposite many reported with the two flavors of Froyo I loaded in: a bit of drag in the menus and in the phone app.

Overclocking that to 710 improved it noticeably but drained my battery.
 
A lot of people seem to think that mflops are definitely not the best judge of a phone's overall speed. I'd lean more towards the quadrant test personally. What's funny is that I've seen people on Froyo ROMs pulling 450+ quadrant scores OC'd to the same speed I am on CELB 2.8, which in my opinion is the fastest 2.1 ROM out, and I can only get 270-290. So maybe that is the speed increase that Froyo ROMs bring.

To further prove my point that MFLOPs do not directly correlate with speed:

Using Droid Does OC'd at 768, I got a max benchmark of 3.2. Smoothest and fastest ROM I've used.

I just switched back to KaosFroyo OC'd at 768, and got a max benchmark of 5.2

Now, I know that KaosFroyo did significantly better on the benchmark, but it was at best about the same as Droid Does, and at times even LAGGIER. As Frisco has pointed out many times, 2.2 ROMs seem to drag along on my phone, just not very smooth.
 
This may all well change once we have some manufacturer official 2.2 CDMA ports coming over with resolution identical to the Eris . . . Until then, the devs are forced to figure a lot out for themselves and will inevitably run into roadblocks. This all plays out on the overall "usability" of the ROM, regardless of benchmark scoring.

What good will a car built for quarter-mile drag racing do for your everyday driving needs? Sure, it's fast, but not practical. In the end, we all need to be choosing the ROMs that best fit our individual needs and take benchmarks with a grain of salt. The Eris hardware isn't getting any upgrades, but at least tomorrow we're all one day closer to a New Every 2 Upgrade. I love the form factor of this phone and the functionality of my current ROM (xtrSENSE3.1) and plan to make the best of my Eris.

Personally, I'm hoping for an Eris resolution CDMA Sense 2.2 port that can be optimized! Until then, I'm probably staying on Sense 2.1 based ROMs. I think we're still several months away from anything like that though.
 
Whats the deal with that Nexus phone?
I see almost everyone averaging about 50, but some are measuring 78+
Is that phone that much more sophisticated???
Even the Droids are in the 40's and 50's...
The Moments are hanging around 5, and even the EVO is hitting 49....
Maybe time to change carriers and phones...LOL
 
This may sound strange but I have the following #'s from linpack.
This is from 10 tries.
MFLOPS 54.615
Time 1.53 sec
Norm Res 5.68
Precision 2.220446049250313e-16

This is an average but I received all very near these #'s.
I ahven't a clue what they really mean
This is on my T-bolt with Perfect Storm v1.2
