Benchmark 2.0 & Tuning - Your Android still potent?

Since February (date of review of the first version of this application) a lot has changed in Android - came the Jelly Bean, left the new generations of the tops of ranges of some brands, many other mobile phones received the Ice Cream Sandwich, so it's time to actualizing the our results in this application ... it also received an update beehive.

The author of the app is our regular reader and has contributed to other articles about programming for Android, so it's expected that this update is of great quality. Let us know what changed and what has been improved!




Virtually all Android enthusiasts know the famous benchmarks to test their devices in various aspects. This application our test device in several ways:

     CPU:

• Arithmetic
• Sorting algorithms
• Cryptographic operations

     Memory:

• Allocation in memory of various data types: integers, floats, shorts, doubles

     Input / Output:

• Read / write sequential
• Random read / write
• Reading / writing in databases SQlite

Tests are all very real "emulate" transactions at any time in our devices. This benchmark application is characterized especially by short tests - nobody likes to wait minutes and minutes to see results and this is certainly a plus.

We can also run a Custom Benchmark, or run only the tests that we want, individually, in single-mode or Multi-Threading Threading (with a thread or more threads depending on the number of colors available).

It also has a browser scores very well designed and has been greatly improved since the February article:

•      Help buttons in the footer
•      Filtering scores by user, device name, version and kernel version of Android
•      Base scores available offline (paid version only)
•      Ordering of results

The option of re-tuning was designed with a more modern type Ice Cream Sandwich and has a completely redesigned dashboard to see how our CPU time used various frequencies - we can also order by frequency and time spent on the frequencies.

We can also see the statistics of the application and see what frequencies used in the various benchmark tests, the devices most commonly used, the kernels and versions of Android.

The panel's information system has also been re-designed and has all sorts of information about our device is basically an x-ray deep. It also has a temperature that the battery has in our time. Also added to visualize the build.prop and kernel config (view only). The functionality of the kernel config is very useful to me because sometimes I am without access to my computer and I can easily see some information on my config Kernels.


It has a nice feature that gives the user the possibility to choose the preferred theme to be used by the application: Holo, Holo Holo Light with Light and take action bar, all themes of Ice Cream Sandwich.

It's always good to see projects and national applications and this is certainly one of my favorites because you can add a lot of features in one package useful and interesting.

I strongly recommend.
