Sort of.. I'm having a marathon-o-ROMs, trying to find which one I like the best. So far I've flashed/evaluated Phiremod v4.1, Phiremod v5.0, Phiremod v5.1, UD 3.1.2, Phiremod beta2 (wouldn't boot), Nookie Froyo (also wouldn't boot).. Of all of them, I've liked 5.1 the best. I think my beta2 and nookie problems come from the fact that my CWR card is running 3.0.0.6, and they want 3.0.0.5..
I'm about to flash 5.1 back on there and call it a day.

Don't put too much faith into Quadrant. It seems it's a nice tool but doesn't necessary give the best overall scoring. Apparently a lot of smarter people seem to think linpack is the best evaluating app for now. I haven't had time to test and compare though.

faceman, I'll check that out. The nice thing about quadrant is that it seems to work on almost all the ROMs out there right now and at least offers a consistent test even it notthe most acurate. There is also a Smartbench thread going in the Apps & Games section if anybody is interested.

Now that I'm back to Phiremod 5.1, I re-ran Quadrant.. The best I could get this time was 1193 and that was when I forced it to run @ 1.1ghz with a minimum of 1.1ghz. The difference between now and earlier is that I'm running the 1.1ghz kernel, where earlier I just had the 925mhz kernel... Interesting. I also forced it to run @ 800mhz and I got an 1108, so I'm thinking that overclocking this thing isn't really doing that much..

I think you can. Did you see faceman's response in the phiremod 5 thread? In any case you can get the latest kernels here Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire. Then just flash the kernel from CWR (I would wipe the cache and dalvik just to be sure).

That's what I used, actually..
Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire
I think I'll just rebuild it tomorrow morning instead of patching it together. It's hard to argue with such a substantial performance difference as that benchmark showed.

Asked and answered in the other thread... forget which one now.. lol
I'll check out the Smartbench maybe tonight. Thanks.
You can just flash the stock kernel over the OC one, but I can't seem to find that link now, anyone else got a link to the stock kernel?

How does the temperature feel (hot?)? Battery life?
That is about a 100% increase over stock!

Hey Guys, I just installed Phiremod v5.3, CM7, and I was wondering what Performance tweaks to put, besides OC to 1.1ghz in the Cyanogen Mod settings? Also, did you guys put a new kernel on top of the one that comes with that rom? Thanks!

Faster kernel for me is the Madcat version from here.
Also, about getting good scores to benchs:The less installed program the better.Also it is good to have more free memory when U run benchs.Also dont use any Live Wallpaper.
