Root Tim's Evo V 4G Tweaks - 3,800+ In Quadrant!!!

[voxibanez]

I can make them flashable for you if you don't have the time

That would be great!

(Edit Existing Line) dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=v,o=y

I think this line is swapped up. Should be o=v and m=y, right?

The possible options are:


From the Dalvik source:

 131     /* Parse the options. */
 132     if (dexoptFlagStr[0] != '\0') {
 133         const char* opc;
 134         const char* val;
 135 
 136         opc = strstr(dexoptFlagStr, "v=");      /* verification */
 137         if (opc != NULL) {
 138             switch (*(opc+2)) {
 139             case 'n':   verifyMode = VERIFY_MODE_NONE;          break;
 140             case 'r':   verifyMode = VERIFY_MODE_REMOTE;        break;
 141             case 'a':   verifyMode = VERIFY_MODE_ALL;           break;
 142             default:                                            break;
 143             }
 144         }
 145 
 146         opc = strstr(dexoptFlagStr, "o=");      /* optimization */
 147         if (opc != NULL) {
 148             switch (*(opc+2)) {
 149             case 'n':   dexOptMode = OPTIMIZE_MODE_NONE;        break;
 150             case 'v':   dexOptMode = OPTIMIZE_MODE_VERIFIED;    break;
 151             case 'a':   dexOptMode = OPTIMIZE_MODE_ALL;         break;
 152             case 'f':   dexOptMode = OPTIMIZE_MODE_FULL;        break;
 153             default:                                            break;
 154             }
 155         }
 156 
 157         opc = strstr(dexoptFlagStr, "m=y");     /* register map */
 158         if (opc != NULL) {
 159             dexoptFlags |= DEXOPT_GEN_REGISTER_MAPS;
 160         }
 161 
 162         opc = strstr(dexoptFlagStr, "u=");      /* uniprocessor target */
 163         if (opc != NULL) {
 164             switch (*(opc+2)) {
 165             case 'y':   dexoptFlags |= DEXOPT_UNIPROCESSOR;     break;
 166             case 'n':   dexoptFlags |= DEXOPT_SMP;              break;
 167             default:                                            break;
 168             }
 169         }
 170     }

I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME get above 2800. Oh well, as long as my phone didn't explode in my face and it isn't slower.

That can be due to Quadrant, scores are all over the place. It's a useless benchmark for us.

 

[wd5gnr]

I have been going through these trying to determine what they do.

dalvik.vm.jmiopts=forcecopy

This should be jniopts not jmiopts.

Also, I'm not sure it would not be faster to set warnonly for some apps. If I get any benchmark data I'll let you know.

 

[chadyboy81]

Couldn't we convert them to zip files and flash in recovery at once?

 

[Leslie Ann]

If you flash over the build prop, beware, you may break a few things.

Some roms are identifying the phone as Evo 3d as opposed to Evo V, this allows a few extra apps to run. Changing this, if you have one of those apps, will make it disappear in market and may no restore on backup.

Another thing that can happen is one roms that use Goo Manager for updates, such as Harmonia and JMZ's roms, you will break the update system and no longer be notified of updates.


Almost all of these tweaks are already inside a few roms (in Harmonia some tweaks were left out because I was unhappy with how they acted). Be sure to find out before you start flashing anything as you may not accomplish anything.

I'm running the newest version of harmonia and with all these tweaks its great. I know quadrant is all over the place so what's a good benchmark program to find out what kinds of impacts the roms and tweaks are having?

 

[metal571]

In my opinion, real-world app launching and app usage is represented the best by Linpack. You can get that in the Play Store. My phone seems to pull around 60 MFLOPS multithreaded on stock frequencies, and I've seen it hit around 70-75 at 1.5 GHz.

 

[Leslie Ann]

Linpack was the best we found on the OV back when it was new. Not sure anymore, but I still trust it.

 

[thebryceee]

Got an average of 61

 

[metal571]

Now compare that to the ARM Cortex-A15-based Snapdragon S4, which pulls over 100 (not kidding) PER core on Linpack @ 1.5 GHz. It also seems that the TI OMAP processors are a little faster than our MSM 8660 (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the CPU in the EVO 3D/V 4G) per clock. Nowadays, everything performance is about performance per clock. That means a 1.5 dual core can be wildly different in performance from another 1.5 dual core depending on the underlying CPU architecture itself. Our Snapdragon S3 is based on ARM Cortex-A8, which is an older technology. The Exynos and TI OMAP chips are based on ARM Cortex-A9, and the S4 is based on ARM Cortex-A15. That's why the DROID RAZR runs at 1.2 GHz but I've seen Linpack multithreaded scores of around 95 MFLOPS on that thing.

I swear, you totally can't tell I'm about to start my PhD in computer architecture

The best way to flash build prop tweaks is to flash an Init.d script that uses the command "setprop". That way the build.prop file wont get overwritten, but new lines will be added.

On another note, which tweaks were you unhappy with? I need to know in case some tweaks are causing problems.

Thanks Ill change that

 

[sanman1185]

did everything but the flashables on the stock rom and my quadrant score is still only 1630.

WOW!!! after I rooted and only flashed the superuser.zip with out any roms or new kernals I was getting 2400 in Quadrant. how is it possible yours is only 1630

 

[voxibanez]

Updated my kernels section to include Chad's AnthraX Kernel Release 2.
Very stable with working Netflix, USB Storage, and Camera (no 3-D though).
I don't recommend overclocking to 1.782 GHz, its caused alot of instability with my phone, instead go down to 1.728 GHz

 

[metal571]

That kernel is super, super fast. I'm pulling around 85 on multithread linpack, 50 single thread @ 1.728 GHz. That's E4GT territory.

 

[BackHandLegend]

Guys I registered for the Anthrax 2 download and I'm a bit overwhelmed with info. If the download located in the repo? Or is it one of the "shooter linux" files?

You'll get an email soon that says you have access.

You have to wait untill an Admin activates your account. It should only take an hour or so.
