(introduction-preface-unreleated thing)
((okay so i am pretty new to all this android stuff, i recently got an upgrade and i'm the type of person to go all out on the customizing phones and stuff. (i would go crazy with jailbreaks on iphones back when) i have been browsing these forums for a couple weeks now getting valuable information from you guys (and google). just want to say thanks to everybody on these forums, when i first got my phone all i could find were things root-related for the S3 on other carriers. i was afraid the S3 metro pcs didn't really have much modding support, i'm glad i was wrong.))
anyway onto the topic, so i installed cm10 yesterday and have been playing around with it. i love it, no (major) bugs, and everything runs so fast. (might have to do some tweaks for better battery life though). I did a quadrant benchmark before and after.
Before: Toal:5019 CPU:8355 Mem:7388 I/O:6122 2D:1000 3D:2231
After:Total:4474 CPU:5558 Mem:10019 I/O:3692 2D:990 3D:2113
i was like because project butter lead me to believe preformace had increased. I messed around with CPU governors but sadly the some of the governors only brought the scores as low as 3,000 something.
i know the total scores aren't that far apart, only because the memory shot up a good bit 7300 to 10000. I supposed that's due to the fact that CM10 seems to use a lot less ram. But i don't really care about RAM, 2GB is a lot for a moblie phone and i am the type of person to obsessively close all apps in the task manager. i like to get my phone running as fast as possible even though it might not even make a huge difference.
-I was thinking about trying out blackbean (AOKP doesn't appeal to me for some reason but i'll try it out if i can get better performance). will blackbean give better performance?
-I did a lot of research and some people have said that if you want the best performance then go with stock. is that true? will no ROM ever match up to stock speeds?
-Does anyone have suggestions to improve this? can you guys share your benchmark scores? not sure if it's normal to see a 3000 point drop in CPU.
-i'm pretty sure there are none, but there are no kernels that support overclocking right?
I pretty excited for Vice City 10th anniversary to come out tomorrow and i'm definitely going to be playing that. i'm just worried it'll have framerate issues. i'll wait to see how it runs, if it doesn't run up to par then i'll probably to revert to stock and see how it runs then.
sorry about wall of text. tl;dr: stock to cm10 causes big drop in cpu benchmark score, what do?
