[ANDROID] Quadrant Score

[HotelUser]

Because he has overclocked, which gives his a better score then the Nexus One, even with the desire.

It doesn't waste away your battery life, with SetCPU's profiles... you can even gain battery life... (like when your screen is off.. actually underclock the processor to say... 450/250 [for a DROID] not sure about what you have)... and gain battery life, underclock while charging, overclock only when the screen is on and battery is above a certain %, etc.

It's not all about losing battery.. and even so.. running a custom ROM and Kernel that has been deodexed and have many battery saving features and graphics.... you gain quite a bit.

I have a rooted N1 but I'm sporting a stock 2.2 rom right now - CM6 is supposed to have a horrible battery life. I thought the N1 already UC'd when you're not using it!

Not familiar with the N1.. I'm on a Moto Droid.. but I know they come underclocked to 550, and the chip can run 600? wait... maybe more, I can't really remember exactly.

The ROM I'm using now is overclocked to 800mhz, but the kernel I've got is 1.2ghz. Not noticed any temp spikes or battery issues, it's worth it man!

The speed you get when using the phone, is amazing.

Even if you don't want an overclocked kernel/rom... a deodexed rom with battery fixes like image optimization.. really, really improves speed.. without overclocking. Might be something you want to check out.

I'll check it out although I can't afford to break this guy, I bought it directly from Google and as I've unlocked the bootloader I no longer have warranty!

You can go back and "unroot" and remove that... so you'll have warranty again...

He imported it from the US to Canada, can't say I'd want to have to send my phone that far back

Yes that did add $200 onto my bill

You cannot relock the bootloader on the N1 yet unfortunately.

[Dentafrice]

Ah, I don't know much about the N1. I was reading though that HTC has been honoring hardware warranty issues even with an unlocked bootloader.

[GoldenMerc]

What does rooting do? Plus what advantages does it give?

[Dentafrice]

In short terms it gives you access to the phone, superuser permissions. Can install custom ROMs, Kernels, Themes, Overclock it, etc.

To elaborate it basically gives us the freedom to control the hardware we paid for, a freedom we should be entitled to anyway.
