GLBenchmark Results! - Galaxy S I9000 General

I've tried to overclock, lagfix, change roms and kernels, but I didn't see any big difference.
I would like to stay with real FPS benchmarks like GLBenchmark or others not like quadrant.
I've seen many people using ext2 instead of ext4, other say rfs is better, so I'm getting very confused. And also many people around here.
Each one of us has got a personalized SGS. Let's run each one of us GLBenchmark OpenGl 2.0 test without FSAA (The one of egypt) and see the results of each one of us.
Dlownload glbenchmark here: http://www.glbenchmark.com/download.jsp
Please specify model, rom, kernel, launcher, running apps, free mem before doing the test... Like every bit of info you can give, so we could find the best settings!
Thanks to all ! I'll run the test and post in few minutes!

Ok, here is the template 1.0 to use ;P just copy and paste and modify!
OK, got:
2438 Frames (21.6 Fps) with no fsaa.
My settings:
MODEL: European, I9000 SGS 16gb Vodafone
SPEED (GHZ): 1.0
LAUNCHER: Go Launcher
KERNEL: Lastest speed mod.
ROM: Darky's 8.0
LAGFIXES: On, System converted, on fast mount.
PROGRAMS INSTALLED: Very few, just wiped it.
FREE RAM: I forgot!
OTHER INFO: Wifi on, and overclock @ 1.2 makes worse FPS.

Lagfix will have no effect on glbench

Bench marks do not say how responsive or laggy the phone is and unless you are obsessive with numbers are a waste of time .
jje

yes, but games performance is equal to FPS, so more FPS=More optimized system.
Just because that reason i proposed to use glbenchmark, as it is an only graphical test.

I am running CM 6.1 Stable and getting about 2300-2350 quadrant score (setCPU scaling between 245 and 1200). What are you running to get 2800?
Edit: Had weather bug running in the BG, now getting around 2500.
That's the highest quadrant score I've EVER seen from any first gen. Snapdragon device. What do you have it overclocked to? On my mt4g (second gen snapdragon with dedicated gpu) overclocked to 1600mhz on a deodexed, zip aligned rom, I just barely go above 2800 on quadrant.
I had an HD2 and a Nexus and never came remotely close to those numbers on any rom/kernel/clock speed combination. I've messed with and flashed many Evos, overclocked within reason, that also average literally half of that.
Since your post count is 2 and youve already opened a 'bragging rights' type thread, I'm going to have to call BS on this. Sorry, I just call it how I see it. Or hey, maybe you're just the chosen one and have a magic phone.

I am absolutely thrilled with a score of 2500. I have been using a G1 for the past year and a half and I decided it was finally time to upgrade. My G1 was only getting about 580 with CM 6.1 (and that was an amazing score). I was debating whether to get a MyTouch 4G, G2 or an HD2 with the Android off the SD card. I was able to pick up an HD2 for $200 off craigslist and boy I do not regret it. I don't know how this phone can run Android off the SD card faster than off the nand, but I am thrilled. By the way I am using a Class 10 4 GB SD Card, if that makes much of a difference.
Only this I wish it could do is play my 720p videos without the codec getting all blocky/laggy. But that is probably asking way too much.
Is 2500 on stock clock speed? There must be some serious speed enhancements here recently, last I used a dual booted HD2 it was only in the 1300 range, same with my nexus, and two Evos. My nexus will max around 1800 with the miui rom overclocked to 1100mhz or so..Is there something special with the HD2's hardware that I'm missing or is this the norm now?

I am using HD2ONE 0.3.4b based on CM 6.1 Stable (CM is awesome BTW). I am using setCPU to run the phone at 1190mhz clock, but it still gets great Benchmarks without. I have been using CM for about a year now on my G1. It is built for speed and memory improvements as these were necessities to keep my G1 alive and kicking up until now. I would assume anyone who can't break the 2000 point quadrant score might want to take a look at HD2ONE and CM.
PS.
Also, this is the T-Mobile HTC HD2, so perhaps the 1gb ram helps as well.
I still don't see the point in benchmarks. I used to have a build (it shall remain nameless) that got over 2400 in quadrant but the UI itself was slow as all hell. My current build (in sig) get's 1700 ish but is smooth as melted butter. I'd rather have a smooth OS than a cooked phone as well.
I'm not sure about your unnamed os but cyanogenmod is running smooth as butter

Ok and yet again here we go.
Your scores are so insane high because of what apears to be bug in the benchmarking of the SD card. Your device is NOT ultra wtf pownage fast. Its nothing to boast about. Its just a glitch. I had a build that did 3100 and still the build from darkstone is 100% faster and only pulling 1600 points.
Benchmarks are fun to measure on devices that run off NAND not SD so for the love of god STOP the benchmark topics.

I knew it had to be something to do with Android running off the SD card and not NAND, those numbers are just insane for the setups. Thank you for clearing that up sir.

Well it's not just a glitch. cedesmith's asynchronous data method actually does improve i/o by a huge amount. There are a few spots where the SuperRam build feels faster than the desire_hd2 and hd2one 3.4 but it's really not that big a difference. Plus the battery drain is not as good on the SuperRam.
This is one of the builds shuntje is talking about. Cedesmith's desire_hd2, running slightly overclocked at 1.19. No other tweaks.
I do not think that this result came from a gap in the program

I don't know the details, but recently I've noticed a bunch of people here posting quadrant scores in the 2100-2400+ range.
I score about 2000 @1.19 Ghz, but my build is quite a bit older than the new ones.
There definitely seem to have been some optimizations done in the most recent builds, especially the one by darkstone which does something like load the entire android filesystem in memory or something.
I'll have to try a newer build.

Most all the big numbers come from the i/o improvements. You'll know if you see the build uses cedesmith's initrd. Using asynchronous read/write improves performance but also has a higher chance of corrupting the data file.
Just off the top of my head, these builds all are using it: cedesmith's desire_hd2, hd2one, jdms, darkstone's superram also uses it for his build.
i am using HD2ONE ROM , latest version.. my quadrant score is 2200+..
after flushing 10-15 ROMs its first time i got 2200+
i m running Radio 2.15.50.xx
yha, benchmarks are great braging rights.
ive run roms that bench silly high, but ive also run roms that bench " slow" but in real workd performance kick the crap out of the " fast" roms.
atleast some one did a benchmark from the payed version so it breaks it all down, and shows actual usefull info...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The reason its scoring so high is because of i/o. I believe that's the wrong metric to look at because i believe i/o is dependent on what memory card you have. If you pay attention to the other scores, all of these screenshots are right on par with the nexus one 2.2+. Still awesome, but don't brag that your benchmark is uber leet, as its probably the same or close to everyone else here regardless of build.
To test my theory, load the same build on another SD card, preferably one that has a lower class (lower read and write speeds) and then run the benchmark and post results.
I will also test a build with cedesmiths initrid explained earlier and post my results

New benchmark tool, > Quadrant; Smartbench 2010.

A while back I posted about how I managed to get a ridiculous score of 2597 on Quadrant using Dameon87 and noobnl's ramdrive hack, and achieved the highest (and it's still standing) stock clock Quadrant score on SmartphoneBenchmarks.com.
After I posted the score, I complained about it on SmartphoneBenchmark's forums, and was informed by an admin that they were aware of the skewed scores in Quadrant and working on a benchmark tool of their own.
Well that tool was released and today I gave it a spin. Its called Smartbench 2010 and is currently free on the Android Market. It runs a series of tests and splits the results into a Productivity Index (CPU) and a Games Index (GPU). The Epic performs VERY well on this benchmark; I scored 1178 and 2610 in Productivity and Games respectfully, while the HTC G2 scores 1045 and 1396.
But here's the real test; we all know that phones with the RFS file system perform very poorly on Quadrant... the benchmark doesn't get along with the file system well and the result is bad scores. I had a couple guys in the freenode #samsung-epic IRC chat run scores, and DRockstar with RFS got 1133 and 2521. It looks like this benchmark actually scores I/O on RFS accurately!
However, I'm still skeptical, and I'd like to see some more scores first. So download it, run some benchmarks, and post back here with your results.
Be sure to post what ROM you're running and if you're on EXT4 or RFS. Don't forget to kill your background apps before testing, I forgot to and got a pretty bad score the first time.
I'd recommend running the benchmark at least twice to be sure your phone is running at its best.
Me: Quantum ROM 2.7, EXT4
Productivity Index: 1178
Games Index: 2610
EDIT - I'd also like to give a shout out to a couple other benchmark apps that I think are pretty good. GLBenchmark (not on market, has to be downloaded from their website and installed) and 0xbench, which the guys in IRC introduced me to, a very comprehensive benchmark tool.
EDIT2 - I also would like to make it clear that I don't condone the use of any benchmark score as "proof" of any piece of hardware or ROM as being better than any other. Every phone is different and will perform slightly differently depending upon dozens of different reasons. In addition, ALL benchmark tools are susceptible to error and manipulation, particularly when you consider that our OS is running on top of a VM over the hardware and thus the hardware is not being natively tested by the benchmark tool (AFAIK). Lastly, what a benchmark cannot test is your own experience with the phone or ROM, how well it "feels" to perform for you, how much you enjoy using it, etc. Employ common sense when citing benchmarks!
UPDATE - 1/13 - An update is available for the application with more devices in the scores comparison list.

Quadrant scores

Ok so ive rooted this toy, flashed the 1.2ghz kernal and ran quadrant on it. I hit anywhere from 1080 to 1180. Have setcpu on demand at 800 min and 1200 max so why on earth is my rooted nook color running android 2.1 and a flashed 1100mhz kernal hitting wayyyy higher scores? (Around 1280) doesnt seem logical at all. Specially cause this is an actual tablet and thats just a rooted e reader. Did I do something wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Quadrant is a bad benchmark. It weights i/o far too heavily.
The Tabs RFS filesystems bring its Quadrant score way below where it should be, though in actual use it's very fast.
If you move to EXT4, your Quadrant scores will shoot up by around 80%.
Regards,
Dave
O sweet love of mary. 80% you say. Ok ive seen some posts redarding this ext4 thingymabob. Ill check it out. So if im understanding you correctly by changing to this my tab will perform even better than it does now? Or ill just see a genaric increase on this quadrant test that really means nothing? Sorry im noobish lol
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Well, my tab is currently on ext4 and my quadrant scores completely destroys my rfs score taken earlier.
However, that said, i don't really feel any performance improvements except the satisfaction knowing that my toy is now on an open and faster file system as opposed to a propriatory and slower one ;-)

Quadrant scores aren't as accurate as people think you know...
Sent from zombie infested Gingerbread.
There's an app called OCLF that will transparently add an EXT4 area on the RFS filesystem without needing to convert the whole thing to EXT4, giving you EXT4 IO performance in an easily installable and reversible way. Probably your best choice for trying it out. Otherwise, for the complete conversion, you could try this Modaco ROM/Kernel, which includes a complete conversion to EXT4.
As far as performance differences go, it makes a huge (10x) difference to the Quadrant IO score (measured before and after figures), but no measurable difference to actual performance (measured real-world usage figures). Some people claim to notice a subjective difference, but I never did.
Im using the modaco rom and kernel with ext4.
And it does make a huge difference. I get around 1800 in quadrant now.

hi,
please be aware that the modaco kernel (rfs/ext4) will not work on CDMA Tabs.
from modaco kernel thread
This kernel is ONLY tested on a UK Galaxy Tab. It MAY work on other GSM Tabs, it almost certainly WON'T work on a CDMA Tab. If you have a non UK Tab and want to test (and know how to flash back to a regular version), then go ahead and report your results. At your own risk.

That's the point!
It makes a huge difference in Quadrant, which is a synthetic benchmark, but far, far less difference in real world usage - hence it is a crap benchmark!
Pre-EXT4 my Tab would pull around 1000 in Quadrant, whereas my Desire HD would pull around 1800. However in real usage, they seem to perform pretty much the same which is not too surprising as they are similarly specified. On EXT4, my Tab pulls around 1800 now, but still performs much like my DHD.
I so wish people would stop bandying about Quadrant scores because they are meaningless.
Regards,
Dave
If you look at the scores in quadrant , they are split by colour so you can see how good the graphics capabilities are for example and compare to other phones. The colour codes are at the bottom of quadrant by the way
Linpack is a better benchmark. Not perfect, but better
Not really - Linpack only tests floating point performance.

Dave
Wow, I started a heated discussion lol. Well ive downloaded the one click lag fix but have not applied the ext2 tools as yet. Want to do more reading about it first. Obviously I want my yab to be the best it can be but I surely dont want to make it genericly better at the expence of my video grafix as one user said he suffered in that thread.

Taking Quadrant scores aside, when I made the switch from CF-Root to the Ext4 MCK, I really did notice a huge improvement in real world usage. I'm not sure if it is really because of the change in file system, but nevertheless thats the only big thing present in that kernel aside from CWM.
Everything said make sense and seems to be valid but let me share my experience.
I have Samsung Galaxy Vibrant and T-mobile Tab. Now both are using EXT4 file system and have fully functional recovery allowing for flashing straight from the phone.
Both now have Quanrant score around 1700-1800 and run very smothly.
Is I/O speed important? I think it is very important because task switching requires reading of huge chuncks of memory. Until read operation completed the user is essencially suspended. Multitasking is the major distinction of Android and lags associated with the tasks switching might be the most noticeable issue since its used so much. Converting of the RFS file system to EXT4 practically reduced lags to unnoticeable level. I don't need any better.
Another critical area for I/O is playing video and especially capturing HD video. The latter works only if I set internal storage and shut down all tasks.
This is work in progress but it seems it reached level of usability when most critical bugs eliminated.
It should be noted that the Tab is flashed with Rotohammer KM2 v1 ROM and Paul Obrien's kernel on a top. The kernel contains scripts converting the file system and flashing recovery. This combination works well, no issues so far.
Well I decided to give it a try and after install my quadrant is 2556 and linpack is 16.865 mflops at 1200mhz. Good scores but just numbers. I do however believe im seeing a bit of snap that I didnt have before when accessing my library. Still really unsure if this is a good thing as im not sure if I can use apps to sd anymore so I may uninstall at some point in the future but thanks to all you who helped the old man out. Atm im quite happy

Overclocking will raise processor/RAM heat dissipation and thus might lead to a catastrophic failure. It would be great to have temperature sensor on the board or at least measure current consumption from the battery but it is not easy.
Of course im a pushin lol. Only way to achieve is to try. Course ive read about the tab proccessor being able to handle 1.4 stable and can handle 1.6... Not that id know about these things first hand. Just taking the words of better men.

[Benchmark] Mobile Web Browser Comparison for Android

Hi Guys,
Like most of you I own a Iconia500 and I've tested a lot of ROM available on this forum. But hard to decide wich one to go with. the processing power is not all and the fluidity of the interface and the browsing are a lot more important to me.
So I've decided to test 6 Roms available on the forum with this:
Test protocol:
Fresh install
setcpu installed and locked to 1000Mhz
reboot and launch of the test
Here are the results:
Score 974 - ROM: Minimalist 3.1
Score 961 - ROM: Taboonay 1.0.6
Score 961 - ROM: Virtuous Thrive 1.0.1
Score 960 - ROM: HoneyVillain 1.04
Score 954 - ROM: Acer Stock Rom
Score 948 - ROM: Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0
Score 945 - ROM: Lightspeed 1.0
Score 940 - ROM: Virtuous Galaxy 1.0.5
Score 848 - ROM: Virtuous Xoom 1.1.2
I hope if helps,
Peace

Thanks, table updated.
Interesting tool, thanks for sharing. I get what you are after by comparing all ROMs at 1.0GHz, but don't forget that the more processing power you have (i.e. overclocking), the better your fluidity and browsing experience will be on any given ROM. I just ran a quick and dirty test (didn't reboot or anything) on my customized stock ROM with a 1.5GHz OC kernel with the "On Demand" governor (I used No-frills CPU control) and scored a 1222 with all bars being thicker than when running at 1.0GHz. Without overclocking I scored a 971. Even the stock kernel frequency tables are setup to be able to be OC'ed at 1.2GHz....so don't be afraid to goose that CPU a bit to get that tegra 2 performance you paid$ for
but OC = more power = less battery...
sanaell said:

Yes, but only when you are using it...after the web page has loaded the cpu scales frequency back down if you are setup properly. It really depends on how you use your tablet, but I don't notice much difference at all in battery life the way I use mine (web browsing with flash, email, occasional movies and games). I still have to charge it every night either way after 6-8hrs of heavy use. The screen takes far more battery than anything else...live wallpaper would likely take more battery per charge cycle than an on demand [email protected] depending on how you use your tablet. IMHO, OC'ing to 1.2GHz is a no-brainer unless you are one of those guys on the road that needs to get every minute of life out of it. If that is what you need, then the iconia probably wasn't the best tablet to buy. After you OC, it's hard to go back as flash/web pages etc. load quite a bit faster as shown by the benchmark test.

I disagree. I didn't notice enough of a difference to warrant the loss in battery. I rarely even play any games and the games I play already run at 30 fps without OC so why the need to OC at all?

Battery drain would depend on which kernel and governor you used and how you use your tablet. Some kernel sources I have studied have their OC current set higher than is necessary. The one posted by Richard Trip/Roggin is very reasonable by default and you can even adjust uV by frequency to improve battery usage. The games you mention are likely using the tegra GPU/hardware, so the OC won't help you a bit there. I noticed the performance the most with flash loading on web pages. Give me a little more power on demand and I am a happy camper. If you really need that extra few minutes of battery, then I can understand. But, think about it...if you are browsing a lot, you can do more within a shorter period of time so it all comes out the same in the end.
I did a comparison @ same frequency to be a base for real comparison, you can overclock or use custom kernel, still, it is just a base

But, think about it...if you are browsing a lot, you can do more within a shorter period of time so it all comes out the same in the end.

My reading speed isn't affected by the clockspeed of my tablet, so I'll still spend the same amount of time on a website..

When you are reading after it has loaded, the clock speed is the same as stock...it doesn't stay pegged at the OC speed all the time, the on-demand governor takes care of that for you
agreed but still the reaction is not instantaneous and some people just want to play with overclocking.
I found the benchmark tool interesting because it does not focus on pure force power but on user perception of the interface and after all I am a user
OP updated with a new ROM

ROM & KERNEL Performance discussion for Galaxy S I9000

Hi,
Now a days everyday there is new ROM for Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 released.
It is very difficult for a person to choose one from the list.
So, I started the thread for discussion of ROM & KERNEL Performance, experience, Problems and Troubleshooting advises.
Participate and share your experience for each ROM you use.
Submit your Quadrant Score with ROM & KERNEL Details.
Thanks & Regards,
-niemesh
Doctorz ROM
I am using Doctorz ROM which I found very good and stable with good inbuilt applications
1. What is KERNAL?
2. Why use Quadrant to measure performance?
Sent from my GT-I9000
KERNEL is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level
Quadrant Standard is used for measuring performance of android mobile.
sry but by using quadrant to verify a rom speed you are disqualifying yourself
i din't say quadrant used to verify rom speed. I told that it is a standard for measuring Android mobile speed. being specific quadrant is benchmark for mobile performance for data writing, reading, 2D, 3D, etc.
I included quadrant in this post as the quadrant scores are different from rom to rom due to its data processing ability.
Quadrant is a random number generator, useless. there are other bench tools around but i dont really care about those tools. as long as my SGS performs for me fast and smooth i dont care about any bench results.
JVT kernels are similar to each other. so suggest Semaphore, Galaxian or TalonDev. me using last one.
JVT rom is up to you and your theme choice. all are fast and smooth. the more its customized the more problems you can get. I use almost stock. all working great and fast even battery life is good.
