In preparation for residency, I wanted to finally settle on a stable ROM for my Asus Nexus 7 (“grouper”) tablet. As a long time AOKP fan, I wanted to compare how it stacked up against some of the more unique ROMs like Paranoid Android 3.
These aren’t official benchmarks measuring battery life, FPS, etc. I just used AnTuTu Benchmark to measure a fresh flash (factory reset) between each set up with no additional applications installed (only GApps and AnTuTu). Furthermore, the device was connected to an AC outlet with WiFi turned off during the benchmark. Here are the results:
| AOKP JB Build 3 | CM 10.1 2/12 Nightly | Paranoid Android 3.00 | CarbonROM (2/7) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 6217 | 6013 | 6346 | 6226 |
| RAM | 1865 | 1415 | 2051 | 1985 |
| GPU | 3681 | 3813 | 3801 | 3795 |
| I/O | 867 | 891 | 892 | 892 |
| Total | 12630 | 12132 | 13090 | 12898 |
I have even more of a reason to give Paranoid Android’s Hybrid Engine (and PIE controls) a try now. :-) Might end up using that on my Galaxy Note 2 as well.
