Yes. Another thing you can do is install setCPU and set the processor to run at 1.2 GHz.

already have setcpu set to 1.2 which is why I was wondering, my quantum scores are about 1500-1600 now, where before I was getting over 2000. But I have an app that any cpu lag causes problems that worked perfectly under 3.3 and is a bit slow under 4.x. Thanks. I'll rebuild again, making new backups as I type. Good thing the process is simple if not a bit time consuming. Only real problem restoring is rebuilding all the widgets.

Nothing you can really do about the widgets, but if that's all you have to do, its not really a big deal imo.

also while using setcpu use "conservative"

[Johnny.Bravo]

Quantum scores are meaningless with EXT4. Just use it for a day or two and decide if you like how its running. If you don't like it you can always go back to 3.3. but use the new Genocide kernel no matter what you decide - it was built on the official Froyo source code and has a lot of the bug fixes built into it.

One other thing.....I used CWM3 to make a Nandroid backup, and then used it to restore data after flashing to 4.0. Worked great. No rebuilding widgets. It put everything back the way it was but on the new ROM.

[in354]

I've never seen an option to restore just the data in cwm3. didn't know you could do that. You flash, reload apps, then restore data? Or are you restoring apps and data?

as far as quantum while I get that it isn't a good test between phones or the like but I would think it would be a good indicator of the same phone, both with ext4 and and the only real difference would be the rom. Although I did see a thread last night over at XDA about quantum being specifically for another processor.

I've seen a few threads about setcpu settings between conservative or ondemand. I've also seen where the OP on the Genocide kernel says use conservative. So I've just been using conservative. However, I've tried both and haven't seen any difference either way.

thanks, have everything backed up again and will give it another go. I'd rather make 4x work since that's where its going from this point forward.

Let us know your results. I was wondering the same thing. I had Quadrant results in the high 1900 ... now it's between 1450 and 1550. I did load the Standard edition after the BYOR ... not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm thinking of starting over myself, sticking with the BYOR and loading very few apps at a time.

I assume you know how to make a nandroid backup with Clockwork, but just in case, I'll go over that too:

To backup go into Clockworkmod and scroll down to Backup and Restore>Backup

Once its done you can now flash your new ROM.

After the new ROM is booted and running smoothly, go back into Clockwork and go to Backup and Restore>Advanced Restore>select the backup you made earlier>Restore data

That's it. It will restore everything. Apps, data, phone log, text messages, game progress....everything.

[in354]

Ah, never actually used the advanced restore, just fully restoring a given system. nice.

However, I've downloaded all of the files again, 4.0, 4.1 update, and themes all from a different mirror, and it definitely doesn't make a difference. This thing isn't even close to ver 3.3. Only thing I haven't downloaded again is the clockwork.

a full clean install from eb13 to v4.0 and genocide 0.3a (no 4.1 and no theme) isn't any different than when I started. Now I'm really confused.

Quadrant 1450, was over 2000 with 3.3 and genocide 0.2a.
Linpack 15.25, was over 18
Smartbench is 1288/2839 way down

this probably isn't a real issue, most things run ok. one app that is very dependent on speed runs fair, but used to run really well under 3.3. Just seems to me that something isn't quite right.

[in354]

could use a little help here I guess. So far I'm not doing so well, never had this much trouble.

Odin, to stock eb13.
Boot, go straight in to clockwork 3 install
boot straight into clockwork recovery, it converts to ext4
install v4.0, boot
don't sign in, but 4 finger back to recovery, install new v4 circle batt theme.
boot, everything looks normal. haven't installed any apps yet through the extras.
4 finger to recovery, install 4.1, boot loop. blue circle, buzz, blue circle two buzzes, repeat.

Start all over, this time skip the theme, all is ok through 4.1 install, install theme, same boot loop

Third time, I start over, I figure i'll sign into v4 and let everything settle in and I immediately get a launcher pro fc after I sign into google. go ahead and install 4.1 update.. boot loop.

Sorry to be such a pain, but I would've thought this should be a straight forward process since I was coming from a clean eb13 install from scratch.

Getting ready to start again but I'm not sure what I should be doing different.

Edit: On the fourth try I got it up and running with just 4 and 4.1 update and skipping the theme. Installed just the basic apps. Installed just a few of the testing apps, quandrant, linpack, etc. no difference. So I restored my last 3.3 nandroid backup and it was a night and day difference. just in screens and apps running, before running any benchmark tests. I did notice that on my 3.3 version I had genocide 0.2a running versus 0.3a. Now I'm restoring back to my nandroid backup from this morning and maybe try it again later. thanks.
