They tell me this will change again when the Droid X and Samsung Galaxy get 2.2 - I wouldn't know.
Until then, here's our moment in the sun.
Made this using the Quadrant benchmark, free from the Market, using a the stock rooted 2.2 rom and the netarchy-toastmod 3.7.6c kernel with the 30 fps cap lifted. No over-clocking, no hair-on-fire super tweaks, no killing every process to tweak the benchmark - just downloaded and run, the number on the bar says 1165.
The Nexus One 2.2 at the top uses the exact same processor (aside from the radio-control circuit) as our EVO. I attribute its higher score to the fact that it's sleeker and not running Sense. I happen to like Sense so I don't care.

That's a little odd because I've gotten over 1300 with the leaked 2.2 from HTC. I figured our scores would be much higher with the FPS lifted.
I wonder what's biased mine? No telling what I have running - I've got some 60+ user apps added on to stock.
Over 1300 though? Cool!
Guess if I get time, I'll restore from backup and see what's different.
PS - I just read that the AAC+ codecs were broken in 2.2 and one of the kernel mods noted for the google kernel to fix that degraded the Quadrant scores.
No idea if that made its way into this kernel, though.

I personally like sense also, but am going to try sense free once...just so I know
I didn't use quadrant, but according to linpack my phone went from a 1965 cray to a 1969 cray in 6 weeks. Gotta love progress.
:lma0: Yeah, I know, right? And where's the bench? :more lma0:
In other news - the Droid X forum has a 3 page thread with everyone there shooting it out with Quadrant. I noticed at least one report of exceeding 1300.
Now. I am patiently waiting for then to get 2.2 and see if they get the near doubling again in capability - as the original benchmarking brou ha ha suggested - or if they'll get just some incremental improvement per my claim that there were some shenanigans as to how they were getting 2.2 performance out of a supposedly all 2.1 phone.
I'm especially interested in that.
I also noted that the Quadrant reported the Snapdragon had frame buffering where the OMAP3 did not.
I will be more than happy to eat crow if I was wrong - but - until then, I'm going to keep my eye them.
With the old 2.2 ROM from flipz (I think) before the official came out I was able to get 1512-1536 while overclocked and FPS uncapped. It was a AOSP rom though, no sense.

How are you guys snapping those screen shots? I'll see if I can duplicate that 1300. Most are 1150-1250 but I got a couple over 1300. I have 79 installed apps, will that make a difference?

As long as all 79 apps arent running....lol Check my App Brain my EVO is stuffed aswell

OK, now the whole daddy metaphor is completely confused.
Title of Evo Tangent Sharktopus is still up for grabs.
Ok got the wifi working but still having trouble with tether. When I pull up my network it shows ANDROID TETHER but has no signal. I can click on connect but then it will say "This network will appear in the list of wireless networks and will stay active until everyone disconnects" I am about to try kernel 3.7.7"

One other thing. When screen goes off I loose wireless tether. I already went to MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS.WIFI SETTINGS>MENU>ADVANCED>WIFI SLEEP POLICY> SELECT NEVER. But I have to still keep screen on to stay connected.
I'm looking for your changelog - maybe I'm blind, but any help appreciated, interested in what works/doesn't and using with stock rooted rom if possible.
Also, you're probably already familiar with this, any comment most welcome:
netarchy, first and foremost I want to say thanks and you rock - I just began trying out the kernel last week.
Secondly - I've engaged in a discussion with a guy who claimed that his Vibrant's Tangent scores doubled merely moving the Dalvik cache to the SD card with a rooted stock kernel on his phone, no other changes. While skeptical, I am intrigued.
I googled it a little, and saw in this forum that that didn't work out so well for the Hero, as one example.
While the Hero thread mentioned that at least a class 4 SD card is required, this Vibrant guy with the ~1800 Tangent score (on a stock rooted 2.1) claimed:

The card I'm using currently is labeled as 16GB class 2 card from Sandisk. It originally came with my first generation Droid.
Has this been tried for the EVO with a kernel such as yours?
Unless it's already known to be a non-starter, I'd be happy to give it a whack if it's not been tried. In such a case, I'd like to know if these are decent instructions for creating the ext2 partition - and is ext2+swap the right config to try with this sort of thing?
I'm using an earlier Clockworkmod Recovery rather than Amon Ra, so that's my path to an ext-type fs - and I'm more than comfy with Linux, I've been a unix guy since the '80s.
Seemed to make sense to not bother jumping thru the sdcard softlink and just hit the mount point.
Any merit to this idea?
The only way that even begins to make sense to me personally would be if the handset maker cheaped out on the internal memory's data pathways (almost unpossible for me given that Samsung has pioneered 20 nm process memory for mobile) - or - if the memory ports for the Hummingbird are somehow so strangely parallelized so as to actually give benefit to using the SD card for that.
I'm obviously confused as to the actual memory hardware configurations supported by these modern handsets - I've only been using Android seriously since getting my EVO on 6/6 - with attempted use on a Moment before that.
So, I apologize in advance if the question itself is kinda a waste of time.
Cheers, thanks again for the naked bunny kernel - I'm holding off on mecha-bunny for now.
PS if anyone cares, I typically hit around 1300 on Tangent with the stock rooted 3.26.yadda.6 rom and the netarchy-toast 3.7.7 kernel. I know better results can be had by losing Sense, but I kinda like it so far, and if this works, it would be Snapdragon 8x50-specific and therefore of benefit with any rom.
(netarchy's since explained that he uses /cache so don't try this at home without the appropriate change!)
I've not had time to try it, and don't want to flog the bishop if this is known to not work a priori with your kernel, so appreciate any light you can shed here.
When Sprint announced their first ever 4G handset at CTIA in March 2010, they dropped a bombshell on the mobile world. The HTC Evo 4G is a device that introduces a lot of firsts when compared to other North American handsets. This is the first Andr... Read More
