Root Quadrant Scores lower than expected with new ROM

Bane99 · Dec 19, 2010

Hey guys,
First time rooter and first time flashing a new ROM. I one click rooted my Captivate and installed Cognition Mod 2.3b7 non OC.
Gotta love everything it's done for my phone!

Anyways decided to run quadrant and see what Froyo could do over my max 980 score...... and i got 1040. Ran it again and got 1030. Max i've gotten is 1130. Is there something i'm doing wrong? Says I beat the Droid X only once (non 2.2). I'm not saying the phone is treating me poorly, but I thought that with Froyo, this phone would smoke everything

Well the issue there is Quadrand is designed for th snap dragon processor and not the humming bird; which is why the scores are so low. WHatever you do do not post this in the cog thread, users will blast you. Anyways, here is what you can expect (the linpack score is a better test for a processor):

Quadrant Standard Linpack Scores Stock Eclair

850-930
~8 MFLOPS

Voodoo Eclair

1600-1700
~8 MFLOPS

Voodoo + 1.2 GHz Eclair

1700-1800
~9 MFLOPS

OCLF Eclair

2000-2300
~8 MFLOPS

Stock FroYo

950-1200
~14 MFLOPS

OCLF FroYo

???
~14 MFLOPS

Voodoo FroYo

1400-1600
~14 MFLOPS

And why would users in the cog thread blast me? I'm new to all of this... =/

because quadrant scores prove absolutely nothing. they can easily be inflated but show nothing on the true speed of the phone

Sounds like voodoo isn't enabled, did you get a voice telling you its converting partitions after you installed the rom?

Its the Rom my experience, 2.3b6 got me over 1500+, but b7 is much lower on mine as well.

my score with quadrant was around ~1200-1300 i think. but i swear it feels fast as crap tho. there was a thread somewhere out there blasting quadrant on not being a true measure of a phone's performance. i'll see if i can find it and post it.

edit i'm running v2.3b8

Developers, and other people with much more knowledge than me, have repeatedly said that quadrant scores are meaningless for the Captivate. Especially when dealing with lag-fixed phones.

I have read developer threads on xda where they will not allow discussion of quandrant scores. IIRC, the cognition thread only posted quadrant scores in relation to what users should expect if everything installed correctly. Meaning, if your rom with voodoo installed correctly, you should expect a score of approx X. If you undid the lag fix, you should expect a score of approx Y, etc...

Bingo. Using Quadrant scores to gauge phone speed is like using RPMs to gauge car speed. When you have a "lagfix" installed, it's like throwing the transmission into neutral, kicking the RPMs up to 4000 and being like, "I'M GOING CRAZY FAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSST!!!!!!111111oneoneoneone"

I'll pile on here; why not!

I agree that Quadrant is entirely useless, especially when used to guage a Galaxy S phone's speed, after it's been customized in any way at the ROM/kernel level.

However, Linpack seems to give slightly more viable numbers in Mflops. Note here, I say SLIGHTLY because in a complete sense, neither Linpack nor Quadrant tell the true tale of internal phone speed for these Galaxy S phones.

You really just have to stick with what "feels fast" to you and either be satisfied with the devices performance, or continue tinkering with it until you've soft bricked the thing or made it into the Franken-phone of your dreams!

Exactly, right now im getting a 1200 quadrant score and the phone is much faster than when i was getting 2400 with an older rom.
