[Q] 898 Quadrant Score

Just updated to 2.2 and my quadrant score is 898. Ive seen folks in the 1200 - 1400 range which is almost double. It stated to use the .pit file if thats the case. My question is do i need to reload both the .tar file and the .pit or just .pit via odin

Do you have voodoo installed? If not 898 stock sounds about right.

As stated here, 900~ is normal for a non voodoo set up, enable lagfix with a voodoo kernel and expect 1200-1500 quadrant. With the AOSP rom/kernel, we're going to expect 2000+ ratings (right now the showcase shows that with their release) our build is still in the works.

No, I have not installed Voodoo - if you dont mind me asking what is it and what does it do? I have seen you guys talk about it here on the forums but im not quite clear as to what it is nor what it does.

E11. Is E16 worth my time in upgrading again? If it is, whats different?
2.1 to 2.2 is a very welcomed upgrade. I am extremely please with the speed and the small changes they have made in functionality.

EA11 was a previous "test build" of 2.2, test build only because it hasn't been released officially. EB16 is what we assume to be as close to the update that will be released from US cellular/Samsung. EB16 should be what you're running if you're running 2.2 at all.
"Voodoo" is referring to our "modded" kernel. Voodoo has many fixes/tweaks, one of which is called lagfix which when enabled changes the storage system to ext4 which in turn speeds up the system, this is the only one currently active in the EA11 voodoo kernel (which is compatible with both EA11 and EB16). Look for the post in the development forum, it's flashed in CWM. Once you have it flashed, you enable the lagfix through CWM and after booting you would see scores of 1400~ in quadrant.

i got a 1758 score with froyo eb16 pnp and vanilla froyo u guys should try it its pretty cool just some minor bugs though like no task manager, no youtube vids and thats about it i think

Greatly appreciate the info. Will be upgrading shortly.

if you meant AOSP, we haven't got a release for the mes yet but I heard it scores up to 2000, I'm sure we will have something in time

[Q] Kernel Related Question

I am currently using TW_kernel-0415-voodoo with Heinz 57 Rom but i am seeing a lot of people using OTB Voodoo kernel. What are the advantages of the OTB Kernel vs my current kernel and where can i download this OTB Voodoo Kernel?

Heinz 57 has the OTB kernel built in, if you would've read the post you would know this.

Thanks for that info what i was saying is that i flashed the TW Kernel and is the OTB Kernel better maybe i did not explain properly my bad

The OTB has the abilty to be configured how ever you like. Overclock underclock undervolt. Whatever you like. Where as the others are set however there set. So it just depends on what ur after. I personally have tried JT's., Peanut butter jelly time, the comavolt and OTB and OTB was the one I liked the best so I've stuck with it.

What add was saying is if you flashed H57 after you flashed that old TW kernel, you would already have OTB because it flashes with the H57 ROM. If you flashed the tw kernel after, then you would need to flash H57 again (or just the OTB kernel, which is found in the fascinate forums, pay attention to the version there are 3 different OTB's one for each type of ROM, AOSP/CM7/TW.)
Do some reading in the OTB thread and you will understand a lot more about it and how to use it, read from start to finish please

Ok thanks man that makes sense and i will roll with OTB

Thanks for all the input appreciate it. I flashed rom again and i am currently using OTB Kernel now where can i find information on stable setting for overclocking and undervolting etc?

Check out the OTB thread in fascinate development. I recommend reading the whole thread as it has a lot of settings and info that others have tried.
Tap-a-Talked.

Stable settings seem to vary from phone to phone. I can't get mine to run over 1200. 1300 works for a couple hours then locks up. I see some say they can hit 1400. Trial and error is they only way to find out.

Just don't set any settings to boot in voltage control without a day or two of testing them out first.

Bali 3.3 kernel issues

I tried installing the Bali 3.3 kernel within CWM as the instructions showed, i had been using KG4 Gingerbread. The phone is bricked now after the install. It hangs on the splash screen then vibrates once, then three times, over and over again untill you pull the battery or go back into recovery. Any suggestions?
Is there a procedure to clean everything on the phone for a clean install. Id like to ultimately try the Valhalla GB ROM along with the Bali kenrel on my phone.

Follow my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765

Ill give it a try, does it matter in which order after this i try to install the Bali kernel and valhalla ROM?

Bali doesn't work with any gingerbread ROM. The guide I posted will get you drhonk's custom KG4 kernel with CWM so you can flash CWM roms for GB.
You'll need to install Valhalla on step 11

Ahhhh, good to know.
The main reason i wanted to try this was for the notification light mod it has built in. Are there any ways to get this feature with a gingerbread ROM?

There's no BLN mod for our phones on GB as far as I know. I miss it too =/

+1 on missing BLN.... dam you GB!
Sent from my sgs4g using the XDA App on a Whitehawkx ROM...

You think its worth sticking with the current 2.3.4 without the earlier mods? Im coming from a Nokia E72, and that notification light was one feature i really liked about that phone.

I've been using KH2 without any BLN mod (audiophile ftw) and so far it's been pretty good. It's snappier than any froyo ROM I tried and you can make apps do things like do sound notifications every x minutes instead of having to use BLN. Not a replacement but a fair substitute

[Q] Looking for Samsung Infuse 2.2.1 Voodoo (ext4) kernel

Just upgraded from Captivate to Infuse... so far, Infuse is a solid phone. Looking for a Voodoo kernel which is basically stock, but has the following modifications:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition from RFS to ext4 during first boot)
I'm rooted with SuperOneClick and have a few root apps working fine (TiBU, RootExplorer, SQLite Editor, SGS kernel flasher, etc). Also, I replaced the stock recovery with the modified 3e recovery. Here are my specs:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I997UCKE3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.UCKE3
Not ready to flash new ROM yet, but would like to flash a voodoo kernel (similar to what I did with my Captivate... wanted to remove lag, so flashed Supercurio's "voodoo+stock-Froyo-I897-UCKB1-unsigned-update.zip" on the Captivate).
So, anyone know of a voodoo lag-fix kernel which plays nice with an INFUSE running Froyo 2.2.1 UCKE3?
Thanks.

Plenty of options if you spend just a little time reading the dev forum.

I have... plenty of modified ROMs... and kernels with various bells and whistles. Was looking for a kernel compatible with INFUSE 2.2.1 UCKE3 that is basically stock.. but modified to add RED CWM and ext4 partitioning. Don't want to brick phone flashing an incompatible Kernel to the stock ROM.

This will cure what ails ya. http://www.mediafire.com/?n6x17c5e52unx49
It's the Defuse kernel for Froyo.

Thanks for the link and appreciate your input. Does the Defuse kernel 1.5 have the BLN issue that 1.4 had (at least what I read in a few threads)? Can BLN be turned off completely?

No, and Yes respectively.

There is also the community kernel.
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz

And Infusion-Froyo.
As I said - plenty of options. The Gingerbread kernels are reasonably clearly labeled as such.

Thanks for all the recommendations/ links. I opted to go with the CWM Community kernel... flashed it with SGS Kernel Flasher. It couldn't have gone any smoother! Took 7 minutes for voodoo to do it's thing... rebooted, and all is right in the world again. Used "CPU Spy" to confirm kernel flashed (RED CWM w/ Voodoo was also a big clue all was good). No more RFS... Thanks again for the tips.

OK... need expert help: I need to return to stock. I backed up my stock kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher right before I flashed the v8 Community Kernel. So my question: Can I simply disable voodoo lagfix, then reflash the stock kernel (using SGS Kernel Flasher) over the v8 Community Kernel? Or will I create a problem flashing the stock kernel over the v8 Community Kernel? Will this remove the RED CWM Recovery? Thx.
EDIT: Closing... posted question as a new topic

I'm on froyo as I can install the Red cwm with SGS Kernel Flasher..help me please

AOKP M5 and VOODOO

I can't seem to get voodoo sound to run on stock AOKP M5 with stock kernel.
I bought the voodoo sound plus, but when i load the driver i get a ''voodoo sound driver loading error''.
I'm rooted and it has the correct permissions etc.
Anyone have any success with this?

Perhaps the stock kernel doesn't have voodoo settings? Not really sure. The first thing I do is flash a kernel and voodoo everything is working fine for me.

Yes but i thought the whole point of the paid version of voodoo is that it loads the necessary drivers into the kernel :S

Doesn't AOKP on our phones have Pete's kernel as stock? I thought one of our members had the module loaded for Voodoo with Petes kernel.

No idea about the kernel, but definitely not working :/

Bumping this as i'm desperate.

AFAIK, voodoo module only loads on stock ICS kernel, not pete's. But check his thread in development, I remember there was a debate about it some time ago, don't know what was the conclusion.
Although if you're a fan of a stockish kernel, load up SimpleKernel from terryhau, it's built from stock ICS sources and has Voodoo & BLN added.
