Hi there,

Thanks for posting. Just looking through the thread quickly, it is hard to determine what clock speed and settings people have used to get this speed. It would be nice to see the post of the result for the Quadrant Advanced version.

Hello again,

Here is a screenshot of a score of 3051:

The result has been posted - thanks!

Impressive result for a phone that was not released as an Android device!

but customization is not MDJ's overclocking, its cedesmith's new initrd giving high IO reading

Could you elaborate a bit on this please? I am not familiar with HD2 stuff.

What is MDJ, and what is initrd? Is this some form of tmpfs stored in RAM?

sorry i am just a regular user , dont understand most of the technical stuff behind (android on HD2) but i happen to read alot on xda forum
MDJ is a person (xda-forum nick m-deejay) he is kernel/rom builder who managed to overclock cpu up to 1.5 GHz but quadrant score gain wasnt that much (around 1800)
and to me initrd is just a file in my android folder lol, but after Cedesmith released a new initrd we start to get higher quadrant scores, if u check the screen shot posted above u will see that I/O section of quadrant is reading 7475 which is much higher than before.
again sorry for the noob post, hope someone with more info can shed some light on this

No problem.

If they achieved that high of a score, they probably used the "ram disk". You can create a temp file system in the RAM of your phone and mount it there. This will seriously speed up your I/O performance since RAM is much much faster than any storage memory. Of course the negatives of this is that it uses up some of your valuable RAM and more importantly, the storage is not persistent - if you turn your phone off, your "disk" is erased too. Not sure if those XDA guys did anything since then to make it more useable but at that time, to me, this was only useful for the real brave users.
