Root Newly rooted eris, few questions..

[svh105]

First post!




I've recently rooted my eris to Xtrsense 4.5 and have a few questions...
My quadrant score pre root was 205. After root, with JIT_on, overclock 748 the score was 298. Is this typical? are there other settings I can change within gscript to boost the performance?

Should I alter the minimum clock speed from default?

I have a2sd and cach2sd ON. How do I know these are actually working?

After running advaced task killer, my available memory is around 65 megs.
Is this a normal figure for the eris? I'm not completely sure how the memory/cache works on mobile phones. I assume 70 megs of RAM is different than information stored in the Cache.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

I never run quadrant myself - I can generally tell how fast or slow the phone feels without benchmarks, and I think the benchmarks are not testing everything that relates to the speed of the phone.

As for apps2sd and cache2sd, I suppose that you can look at available memory in settings->sd card. If it stays pretty stable, you know that cache isn't building up there, as well as data from third party apps. Also, from here:

So how do I know Apps2sd is on? - You can run the GScript report_system_stats which will give you a printout of what fileblocks are used as well as a “true/false” value for Apps2sd On. You can also go to menu>Settings>Sd card and phone storage - when on space available under Available storage will go down at a VERY slow rate when new apps are installed.

You can probably save a little battery in screen off by setting the minimum clock to 19.2, but when I ran xtrROM (which is not xtrSENSE, but I think similar) I found that the phone was too slow to wake on incoming phone calls. Try it, though.

It's been a while since I ran xtrROM, so I'm not sure which gscripts are available for performance. Unless you have a class 6 or better SD card, I would suggest cache2cache for better performance, but it's probably not all that noticeable anyway.

I never run task killers, and I really suggest to everyone that you not as well. It's ok to have a task manager that you use manually to stop a runaway process, but I do that maybe once a month or so myself.
