Hmmm....

All installed and running well.

But the quadrant score is about half of what it used to be. The test takes a looong time to get through h.264 decoding. I briefly double checked watching a video and its not rendering well: jumpy, not smooth playback. Somethings up.

Can anyone confirm? Or should I wipe and reinstall?

Pretty much a flawless install and I'm already completely restored (apps, config, data, everything) after a wipe.

Major thanks to cvpcs, sniffle, and all those involved in making this my ROM of choice as long as I own my droid.

Outstanding work gents. :)

I isntalled this Rom and Im getting 780 in quadrant speeds using 1.2 kernel. I usually get around 1600. Do we need to install superuser 2.1 with this Rom again :icon_eek:

I can confirm there is something wrong with that decoding. Not sure what the problem is.

Also thanks for the help on the gem settings I thought I was going crazy.

2 posts up- we posted at the same time. I ~think~ its linked to video performance.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll wait instead of reinstalling, then.

This is because cvpcs has switched to opencore for certain media instead of stagefright - the reason is because many users were complaining of poor sound quality issues with certain streaming audio apps such as Pandora; opencore seems to handle this a lot better. However, it appears that stagefright does a better job at the tasks Quadrant uses for benchmarking (such as the h.264 decoding).

If you don't use those apps and prefer having better Quadrant scores ;), you can change this entry in build.prop:

media.stagefright.enable-player=false

Set this to

media.stagefright.enable-player=true

and reboot.

Same here wiped data and cache. Still same result. Everything else is fine as far as I know.

The phone "performance" is as good as ever; the only thing you lose is a nice Quadrant score. :) There's a thread on these issues here if you want to learn more.

Guys, if you feel like you have audio problems with Pandora, etc., this latest Sapphire should definitely fix those problems, and there's no downside to running opencore, really, apart from it not decoding certain files as well as stagefright. But if you don't really notice any problems or don't use those streaming apps you can feel free to switch back to stagefright as well if you choose. Other than audio issues this won't impact phone performance.

By the way, you can always show off linpack scores. ;) Those will be the same no matter what media framework you want to use.

Too bad there wasn't a gem setting to auto switch between them. It'd make life easier.
