Considering leaving Stupidfast for Voodoo5

I'm running Super Clean .9 with Stupidfast and i am considering leaving stupidfast for one of the OTB Voodoo Kernels. I need to know what i need to do to make it happen without killing my phone.

Learn what voodoo is/does

Read read read...be confident about what you're doing before you flash... I've been running voodoo for a while with no problems... Be patient during the data transfer and remember once you flash voodoo only use the RED clockwork recovery...

I love the performance boost I see with voodoo, but it seems to come at the expense of battery. Not sure why this would be, but it seems to be the case.

I saw a battery hit when going to Stupidfast 1.54 (may have been due to enabling BLN, not sure) so I went back to 1112_test_novoodoo and stayed there. Am I the only one still using that kernel? Has everyone moved on to stupidfast/voodoo5 kernels? Other than the annoying MMS problem that I can't even say is the kernels fault, I am completely happy with the 1112_test_novoodoo kernel.

I tried them both and can say I have enjoyed my experience with Voodoo5 and the 12/16 kernel much more then stupidfast. It just seems to have the best battery life and speed compared to anything else out. Also I have yet to experience any bugs like I did with stupidfast w/google maps 5 navigation not working correctly.
I would try out the non-voodoo kernels first to see if they work for you. If you are still unsatisfied try out Voodoo 5.

[Issue][5/16] Sound popping/crackling with small fix

Since recent updates I've been getting popping in audio. This ONLY occurs when I touch the screen. For example when I have a song on and I swype I can hear popping as I move my finger across the screen. Is anyone else having this issue? Using voodoo control plus with version 8 driver.
EDIT: Emailed supercurio. He is working on a fix and I am testing it for him. The only tweak he said he found so far to improve this is using the command "echo 0 > /sys/module/printk/parameters/time" in adb shell. He said it should improve noise popping and he was exactly right. The popping is still noticeable but has much improved! He said he will consider integrating it in a future version.
EDIT (5/16): To be clear, Supercurio says this is a flaw in the Froyo kernel whether stock or not. I recently odined back to DL09 to do OTA to EB03 and still have some issues. Being on complete stock, the issue is not nearly as bad and doesn't occur when I interact with the screen. The issue of sound popping occurs about every 8-12 seconds when playing back audio of any kind. Here is one of his exact messages in our email conversation.
"François SIMOND - supercurio to me

Hi Zachary!
This is an issue with the [Froyo]* kernel itself, which is poorly implemented.
Gingerbread kernels are not affected anymore. Is it really bad in ED01 ?"

What rom/kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Community Rom and the included rom by nemesis2all. I just reverted from jt's alpha gingerbread and it happened on that too. Dont think it's a ROM issue but rather a voodoo sound driver issue. Just seeing if it's just me or if others are also noticing.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Yeah I'd revert back to the previous kernel with voodoo 7.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

I too am having the same problem and it's driving me nuts! It's not only when you touch the screen, but whenever the processor load ramps up, so it's pretty much whenever the phone does any thinking. Very annoying.

Doesn't happen for me (imnuts -50). But I'm using MortPlayer, not the stock Samsung.
If you're on the nemesis kernel, try changing some of the enabled clockspeeds?

Doesnt help. This also happened when I was on CM7 when I wasnt on nemesis2all's kernel. I realized this didnt happen until voodoo driver version 8. I emailed project voodoo to see what they have to say.

Have you checked the scheduler you are using? It almost sounds like the phone is decreasing the priority devoted to decoding the mp3 too much or it is giving too much cpu to the ui. Drivers

I had this the other day. Odin to ebo1 and flash back to comm rom fixed it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

I've noticed popping only since I flashed Jt's CM7 rom. I'm not currently on the rom, but the problem still exists. I'm thinking there's something in that rom that has messed up my phone's audio (hopefully not permanently).

Im having this strange pops too. I have a SGS i9000 and am using the Voodoo control plus app. Theyre very noticeable when i put on my headphones, horrible really. Id like some help or feedback on this. I wont mess with internal stuff since the app supposedly loads on top and doesnt change anything per se.

Try switching to the CFQ scheduler in Voltage Control app, if the problems did improved and rarely show up then switch to BFQ.
BFQ is the best for latency dependent data transports. I'm using the latest voodoo sound without any crackles or pops.

sound pooping; ehrrr... "popping"

an interesting theory - I've now got the popping-when-touching-the-screen issue too. although i'm currently running imnuts 100 kernel; the voodoo 8 (plus) app; and stock ED01 debloated - I did tryout the cm7 roms recently also.
I expect that's just coincidence - many of us here play with various roms and such...
also - the popping issue happens with all the sound apps I've tried (tw music player; pandora; npr; tunein radio, etc).

I believe JT1134 and imnuts used the same SIO default scheduler, you should verify with imnuts.

Changing schedulers doesn't work. I emailed supercurio and its just an issue with froyo kernels and his driver so it wont be fixed until the new version of voodoo sound most likely.

I don't know if you have this issue or not, but I didn't spend time writing this thread for nothing. I've done troubleshooting and have followed steps to fix it and even emailed the man who created the drivers. He mentioned nothing about schedulers just said that the Froyo kernels are poorly implemented and he will have to find a work around for it. He also mentioned there is no permanent fix for it, only what is in the OP. I can sit here playing with schedulers all day (as I have done), but nothing will change.

i also experienced this after flashing jt's cm7 so im pretty sure it has to do with the voodoo sound driver in the newer kernels as stated above. even after odin back to stock didnt fix the problem. hoping next voodoo update fixes this issue
*edit
problem fixed after going back to stock then installing official froyo

Syndicate Frozen lags, what could it be?

Ok I posted a few weeks back about my phone being a little laggy when I first started it up but it started becoming progressively worse even with closing all running apps in the settings>applications>running services thing cause I thought there might be a lot running but that didn't help.
So last night thinking a fresh start would help I reflashed the newest syndicate frozen rom and my phone is still being a little slower than I would want not to mention slower than everyone elses reviews. And on top of that my battery drain iis pretty bad (dropped like 20% in the last hour with moderate use).
So I was just wondering if there's any way to pinpoint what might be causing this (like certain apps running) or a way to try and correct it? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what it is but ill give my experience. A while ago I had the same issue. Turn out there was something wrong with the stock ec05 tar. I had a modified version and didn't know it. No matter what rom I flashed it didn't perform well. Also, I use my epic is my main form of internet use. Most roms and mods I dl str8 to my phone. Well, it also turns out that downloading roms str8 onto the sd card game me some errors. Probably because of some fault in the data. Redownload everything you need. When you odin back to ec05 format your sd card also. Should do the trick unless there's something wrong with your phone.

One thing that might help is if you have Titanium backup or Mybackup Root freeze DRM content and SNS services. Also are you running setcpu? If so try removing it to see if that helps. If it does then your setting are off and you need to tweak your settings. Do you have journaling enabled? Another thing what kernel are you using? I liked Vision kernel over Twilight some have also mentioned Genocide being good also. I am NOT saying Twilight is a bad kernel just it does give some people issues with certain setups.

Thanks for the response. I already had drm frozen, just froze sns (what does that do?), so we'll see how that helps. I also uninstalled setcpu to see if theres any improvement there.
Im running twilight kernel, maybe if the problems persist ill have to try out another one. With kernels all I do is flash? Will any info be lost or wil I have to wipe etc? Or just flash and your good to go?
Thanks again

In the development section in the sticky about bringing ur phone back from bricked. Look at my post. (Its the last few) use that eb13 to odin. That one always works 100%.
Also, don't use twilight 1.1 that came with srf. I've tested it and it has several issue's. Use genocide. (Genocide 1.1 was posted on pages 195-199 I believe)

Just flash the kernel no need for wipe. Just make sure you nan first.

Thanks everyone! I just rewiped and reflashed the SFR 1.1.1 again and it seems to be working fine so far.
I haven't installed all the apps I had before and don't plan on it because I have all I need on it now and it could have been an unnecessary app causing problems or just a bad wipe but either way so far so good.
Ill post back if theres any issues in the next few days. Thanks again.

Flash the genocide kernel 1.1.
"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons

Ok so I reflashed and it was working perfectly, buttery smooth no lag nothing. I was completely happy. I charged my phone and used it until about 10% turned it off and replaced the battery with a 100% charged one I have as a backup.
Once I turned it on it began lagging again, as well as draining the battery quicker than before and on top of that it did an old problem I had that I didn't mention before which when you turn off the screen it turns back on showing the lock screen then goes off after about 5 seconds.
I have no idea what it could be and why it magically came bac after a shut down/reboot :/
Also if I switch to the genocide kernel do I have t reinstall all my apps again or does it just flash and keep all info? Do I have to wipe data/cache?
Thanks again

You have to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash Genocide. It will retain all data.

Having to reboot every day

Does anyone elses galaxy s need rebooting about once a day because after a while launchers reboot when you go to your homescreen and apps always act, like they've been force closed when you go back on then after exiting using the home button?
Also, when I'm using my phone and I get a call it hangs for about 5 seconds before my ringtone comes on. is this normal?

Download and install an apps from market . . Free . . Called 'Fast Reboot' . . It don't actually reboot but close the unnecessary programs within seconds and make the phone much faster . . It works for me. . .

install a cache cleaner - runs daily

Mine is on stock JPJV6 and i don't reboot it neither it does itself no matter how many days it's running. I think last time i restarted it after 9 days to clear the battery stats after full charge.

Try a different kernel. Dark core just didn't play nice for me. Also try one of the ram hacks out there (juwes for example) as I found it made things better regarding the home screen.

I've never had these problems on my phone, and from the replies it seems that very few other people have, so it might be caused by your combination of non-
standard software.
Just as a test, try loading GB 2.3.3. on your phone, in it's standard form, and see if you get the same problems, if you do it's a hardware problem, if you don't it's a problem with your choice of Roms.
Best of luck.

Hi,
I flashed this ROM, and then the "Samurai Kernel 1.3". In general, things are working very well. I however did notice that when making telephone calls while I'm using headphones, only the right channel has audio. The left does not. I don't have a chance to reflash to see if the "Samurai Kernel" is at fault yet..... I remember seeing (or maybe hearing???) this bug a long time ago on CM7 with an older version of Voodoo Sound, but this kernel doesn't have Voodoo sound.... I'm wondering if any other people have seen this issue, or if anyone can tell me that it is the Samurai Kernel 1.3 that is at fault.

I'm wondering if any other people have seen this issue, or if anyone can tell me that it is the Samurai Kernel 1.3 that is at fault.

This is a bug with the kernel. All of the latest KJ+ ROMs have it. I have experienced it on all of the latest ROMs through non samsung earbuds.

Good rom. I've been on it since it was released and everthing is running smooth.

Hi,
I flashed this ROM, and then the "Samurai Kernel 1.3". In general, things are working very well. I however did notice that when making telephone calls while I'm using headphones, only the right channel has audio. The left does not.

Well the "issue" is how headsets are designed. You have your "normal" headsets used for listening to music and have two bands and your hands-free headsets w/mic which have three bands, but the issue that arises are the single ear pieces w/mic which have two bands like "normal" headsets. Since the "normal" headset jack and the single ear piece w/mic jack are designed identically (as far as I can tell) there's no way for the phone to differentiate between them so your phone sees your "normal" headset as a single ear piece w/mic while in a call. Thus audio only out one ear piece while your phone thinks the other is the mic. Course I'm no expert on the matter. This is just a conclusion I've come up with based of what I've seen/read (which honestly isn't much) so I could be way off.

Leave the battery percent out. I personally don't like it when you can see it. It's your rom though, do what you want to do with it.
