thanks guys. gummyjar is on the new X already...what do you guys use for kernals now? i was at 1422 in quadrant out of the box. i wanna blow that outa the water!
It depends on how high you can OC your particular device. My device for instance doesn't like anything over 1200 ghz. It's running very stable right now on GummyJAR at 1200. But to be honest, once your phone runs as smoothly as it can on a ROM like Gummy, I find OCing to be something I'm not all that concerned about anymore.
I just ran Quadrant and got a 1530. So it's not KILLING my factory score (mine out of the box ran like a 1350), but it's indeed faster. But IMO a Quadrent score doesn't tell the whole story. Before I started ROMing I had my stock ROM OC'd to 1350 ghz and it ran an 1800 off. BUT, the phone was no where near as responsive as it is now at 1530. I still had lag when switching between home screens, and like when I would long press on a home page to add a shortcut, it would take anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds to produce my apps list (mind you, I have over 150 apps to list).
On GummyJAR, I long press on a home screen, and my app list appears within 5 seconds... when it's responding SLOW!!! It seems like everytime I do this for the first time in a while, it takes 4 or 5 seconds. But each time I do it right after that, they appear just about instantaneously. On my stock ROM, and even on Apex and Rubix, they always took 10 to 15 seconds no matter how many times I'd pulled it up in a row.
Personally, that sort of thing aggrivates me. This is why I'm so at home with GummyJAR. The extra's don't concern me, I just like it for the speed!
