T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Adama Kernel Overclocked 1.8 GHz

Introduction to the Review

What's up guys? David here from Form Bluff Calm, and welcome back to my channel. Today, I'm going to be reviewing the AtoZ kernel by Roman Be Beyond XDA-Developers. I've already done a review on this ROM in the past with the free GS3 Wrong team Sonic, so if you're interested in checking out that video, make sure to hit the link in the description box below. However, since then, I've been experimenting with different kernel versions and settings, so I thought it was time to give the AtoZ kernel another go.

Setting Up the Kernel

I'm currently running the AtoZ kernel with the free GS3 Wrong team Sonic ROM. I've also done a review on that ROM in the past, but I'll be comparing it to this new version of the AtoZ kernel. To test the performance of the kernel, I'll be opening up SetCPU so you guys can see the clock speed. I have it set at 1809, which is recommended by the thread developer, but I might increase it to 1890 if everything runs smoothly.

Benchmarking the Kernel

Before I start running benchmarks, I want to mention that I've done similar tests in the past with both stock and free GS3 Wrong ROMs. In this case, I'll be comparing the performance of these two ROMs with the new AtoZ kernel version. To start, I'll be doing an intent-to-benchmark test. This will give us a baseline to compare the other tests against.

Running the Intent-to-Benchmark Test

I've just run the intent-to-benchmark test on my phone, and the results are as follows: 70-59 on the benchmark. Before running this test, I got 68-49, which is around 400 points higher than the current result. This shows that the AtoZ kernel version has definitely improved performance compared to the previous ROM.

Running Additional Benchmarks

Next up, I'll be doing some additional benchmarks to see how the AtoZ kernel performs in real-world scenarios. To do this, I'll be running Limba pack quickly and seeing what results we get. This will give us an idea of how well the kernel handles different tasks.

Results: Limba Pack Benchmark

I've just run the Limba pack benchmark, and the results are as follows: 201, then again 172, and finally 179-200. On average, this test showed a definite improvement compared to the previous ROM, with an average score of around 185.

Running Another Benchmark: Quadrant Standard

Next up, I'll be running another benchmark called Quadrant standard. This test will give us an idea of how well the kernel handles different tasks in terms of performance and efficiency.

Results: Quadrant Standard Benchmark

I've just run the Quadrant standard benchmark, and the results are as follows: 50-45. Before running this test, I got around 49 hundredths, which is a significant improvement compared to the previous ROM. This shows that the AtoZ kernel version is performing well in terms of performance and efficiency.

Running the Final Benchmark: Meta Mark

Finally, I'll be running one more benchmark called Meta mark. This test will give us an idea of how well the kernel handles graphics and other high-performance tasks.

Results: Meta Mark Benchmark

I've just run the Meta mark benchmark, and the results are as follows: around 60 frames per second. Before running this test, my best score was around 59 point 9, which is not a significant difference due to the Vsync but it's still an improvement compared to the previous ROM.

Conclusion

Overall, I'm happy with the performance of the AtoZ kernel version in this review. The improvements seen in the intent-to-benchmark test, Limba pack benchmark, Quadrant standard benchmark, and Meta mark benchmark show that the new version is definitely worth considering for those looking to upgrade their phone's performance. However, it's worth noting that the battery life may be affected by running the kernel at higher clock speeds, so users should be aware of this potential issue before making a decision.

Final Thoughts

That's all for today's review of the AtoZ kernel version. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them in the section below. And if you're interested in learning more about the developers and their progress, make sure to check out the XDA thread linked in the description box below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys david here from form bluff calm in this video we're doing a review on the atom with three colonel by roman be beyond xda-developers i put the link to the SDA thread in the description box below I'm running this colonel with the free gs3 wrong by team sonic I also did a review on that ROM on the channel you guys want to check it out so anyway that's the Raman running with this kernel I'm gonna be doing a few benchmarks against could see the performance you're gonna get with this so far for me everything's been running pretty smoothly I want to open up setcpu so you guys could see the clock speed I have it running at 1809 set on boot you can push it up to 1890 but according to thread the developer recommends 800 saying everything runs pretty smooth but I was gonna go ahead and leave it at that and run the benchmarks so I've done benchmarks on the phone before one of the stock and also with the free gs3 ramen pretty much I got the same score so I want to compare them to those scores with this new kernel I'll go ahead and start with the intent to benchmark and I'll just run the benchmark and let you guys see the score so I test and start test and I'll skip to the score all right so it scored a 70 to 59 on the intent to benchmark so before actually got a 68 49 I believe or 48 so it's about 400 points higher which is pretty good obviously with that different kernel so that's the 300 megahertz overclock let's go ahead and run the next benchmark and it just like you guys know I did do a fresh reboot before I started this video so we'll go to we'll do a limb pack really quick and see what we get here so let's go ahead and hit run and it got 201 run it again 172 this time 179 200 so you can see it's getting around 200 or between 170 and 200 so let say on average like 185 which is a definite improvement because I got I think I got around 172 last time so a definite improvement here let's go ahead and go to the next test which is the quadrant standard benchmark so quadrant standard and again I'll just skip to the result so you guys will have to look at the whole process all right so the quadrant benchmark test is done and go ahead and look at the score so I got a fifty to forty five and before I got I believe it was like a forty nine hundred so a three hundred point improvement now on quadrant I ran this test you know a couple of times before I even do this video and I got like fifty five hundred obviously it's gonna fluctuate so take it for what it's worth but it is definitely like three or four hundred points higher which is definitely something significant we'll go ahead and go to the last benchmark which will be a meta mark now this one's gonna be pretty much capped at 60 frames per second I think I'm gonna run it you can see the last benchmark I ran was that my best is fifty nine point nine so that was well with this kernel where before I got like fifty nine point eight or fifty nine point seven so not much of a difference because of the vsync but there's take that into consideration but anyway that's pretty much it for the benchmarks overall so far it's been you know so far so good everything runs smoothly I haven't had any real issues with the ROM running at eighteen hundred it does get kind of warm as far as the battery and stuff but pretty good I haven't really you know used it long enough to really see a difference in battery life I am using this CPU sleeper so when the screen is off it does save more better life which came with the free gs3 rom but anyways so far I like it you know I feel like the browsing experience is better I mean obviously gonna get that when you increase the clock speed but that's it for me in the review of the atom of three kernel check out the XDA thread if you want to learn more I know that the developers coming out with a new or newer newer versions as it goes along and as he develops further but anyway except for me in this video thank
