Quadrant tests and smoothness

I was just wondering what some people are doing different than me setup-wise on their phones.
I currently have the latest bionix fusion, jac xmod kernel oc'd to 1.2ghz with voodoo. The phone is definitely smoother than stock, but there's still the occasional slight hesitation on what seems like the simplest tasks. I wouldn't be disappointed in the least if the phone stayed this way, but I'm curious if there's some step I'm missing.
Now about quadrant... I've noticed people claiming way over 2,000 quadrant scores. The highest I've gotten was 1960, and this was when I'd just odin'd back to stock, flashed the jac xmod kernel, voodoo and 1.2ghz on an otherwise stock touchwiz. On fusion, I'm seeing just slightly lower..closer to 1900. What gives? I haven't added any apps or widgets, killed all tasks, etc.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Whats the best kernel

what is your favorite kernel you are using as of right now

I recommend you stick with stock

ROFL. You read other posts before replying too¿

You won't see much improvement from any of the kernels here unless maybe you try a voodoo one. I wouldn't recommend it though because its a pain to go back to stock.
I've tried most of the bin voodoo ones. Stupid fast 1.5 seems to have the best performance but you lose vibration. I'm using Linpack and quadrant to test performance.

The best way to benchmark is how the phone works for you in your everyday usage.....not quadrant or linpack. By that logic oclf turns your phone into a rocket as you can pull 2700 quadrants

DJ05 stock kernel is second only to the Stupidfast 1.5 series kernels. Try one of those.
If not, try 1.3.2 SF

I tried geenik's and had sound issues when playing music. JT's are pretty good. Dirrk's oc voodoo kernel has been amazing so far... my phone absolutely flies now.

If you remove the bloated apps from the stock rom you'll get a fast phone. Stock rom with stupid fast 1.5 is the fastest combination I've seen.

now does stupid fast use voodoo lagfix im a little scared of it cause after my last experience my phone went jet black and there was no fixing it i tried everything i just dont want to end up with a black phone again because of a simple mistake i may have made in loading it...i went from a droid 1 which i was flash happy with this phone just gives me the willys every once in a while and i dont want to jepodize its poor life...should i wipe data cache when i flash a new kernel cause i currently use jts with no lagfix but moving to a new one should i wipe

Theses are non voodoo stupidfast kernels.

stupid fast +1

+1 for stupidfast. Extremely noticeable speed difference.
Take note though that with DI01 you'll lose haptic feedback. And for me, anyway, that meant losing vibration for alarms, phone calls, and notifications - not just when tapping a button.

I also lost ALL vibration on 1.54 using DI01, but that thing was awesome. Even better than voodoo. Everything was super smooth. Unfortunately, my phone is on vibrate more than 80% of the time.

[Q](eb01)benchmark has decreased significantly

I was running superclean eb01 v1 voodoo and I had a bench mark of 1450. I upgraded to v2 voodoo and now have a benchmark of 1020. Any reasons why?
----------
running on Eb01 voodoo!

Make sure voodoo is enabled. Do so by going into the voodoo section of cwm and making sure lagfix is enabled.
But really...quadrant standards are a useless measure of a phones speed...and theae numbers dont really mean alot.

Agreed, I've gone back and forth with Lagfix quite a bit and my scores have been in the 1400's with it on, and 900's-1000's with it off.
When you turn it on you have to make sure you reboot and get the voice telling you the partition is being converted er what ever.

[KERNEL][KB1]eXistZ KB1 Froyo Kernel #9[01JUL][Voodoo Sound 9, Lagfix & Color][OC/UV]

[KERNEL][KB1]eXistZ KB1 Froyo Kernel #9[01JUL][Voodoo Sound 9, Lagfix & Color][OC/UV]
This kernel is for FROYO KB1 ONLY
This is a BETA, so there might be a few bugs. Im still in the process of adding features, so please bare with me..Ill update the post as I go along
As of right now, there will be no support..this is tagged BETA for a reason. However, its been stable for me
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Big thanks to Hardcore, Xcaliburinhand, Supercurio, Raspdeep, sztupy, Designgears, Glitterballs, Morfic, Trasig, and eSPyel

WARNING
Do NOT use setCPU.. The OC/UV code is actually wrote for Voltage Control.
There are 2 parts to the OC/UV code, enabling "States" and setting "Max Clock".
With setCPU you cannot do this and it will cause problems with stability.
Just use Voltage Control..<--you been warned!
NOTE
When flashing a new kernel/rom your battery indicator may be off.
This means that you can have zero battery drain or a huge battery drain at the beginning.
Let the phone go through 3-5 complete charge cycles for the battery to recalibrate itself.

Good work.... glad to see you on it!

Will test this during the weekend. Great to see this.

Yea same here... didnt notice earlier, but its at the top of my to-do list, ill get it fixed

Dock Audio
Since this is a voodoo based kernel...can you add dock support so that the audio plays correctly?

Should it be noted that this is a captivate kernel requiring a captivate modem? Or are i9000 modems OK to use with this?
Also does this contain the ~200 patch?

Use a captivate modem (KB1) ..and as of right now no..still working on stuff

WiFi connected fine for me.
Getting some odd system hangs, not lag so much as it just seems to freeze for a few seconds, and doesn't catch up like a lag. It just skips to the last action.
Didn't mess with OC/UV yet.
Looking forward to checking this out more tomorrow.
Thanks for getting this out!
Edit: SpeedTest results are showing typical upload speeds and about 40% faster download for me.

Im not sure if ill have much time to work on this tomorrow or not, but if I do, ill get voodoo sound put in.. plus fine tune a few things..but I should be able to put some work in over the weekend

So the difference between this and those 2 other kernels you made is that this is made of KB1 source?

[KERNEL][KB1]OverStock v1.3 341MB, Voodoo Sound, Color, Lagfix, BLN 4/2/2011

This was made at the request of fellow XDA member/co-worker Rockasama. I showed him what I was doing on the Vibrant and he wanted something like it on his Captivate.
This kernel should be used just like a stock I897 kernel. All the same modem rules apply. What you get is a fast, efficient, and simple non OC'd kernel. Current testing shows mid 1700 to low 1800 Quadrant scores and 14's in Linpack. He's been running it for a day now and everything seems to be working. I don't have a Captivate so he's my guinea pig right now. As I make updates to my Vibrant kernel look for those to be ported over here.
Includes:
Version 1.3
Voodoo sound v7
Version 1.2
Voodoo sound v6
Version 1.1
Working Voodoo sound v4 with no issues in call quality
Version 1.0
Voodoo Sound v4 (Make sure to grab the Voodoo Control App from the market to fully utilize this feature)
Voodoo Color
Voodoo Lagfix
CIFS
BLN (Needs neldar's BLN Control app from the market, or grab the pay version for some sweet blinking action and more)
FPS cap removed(turn screen off once before running Quadrant to see it)
341MB Memory
Based on KB1 I897 Source
Use this at your own risk. Always make a backup before flashing. I would also recommend using neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher from the market to backup your current kernel.
I would like to thank the following people for making this possible:
Viralblack for the boot image PNG
morfic for all the help and making time to answer my questions
supercurio for all the Voodoo magic he has worked on SGS devices
neldar for the great BLN patch and Market app to use it
Download, Flash, and Enjoy!
OverStock-I897-KB1-v1_3.zip

Updated 3/12/2011
Look for updates and fixes to arrive on Monday evenings.
Messed around yesterday trying to make the kernel work on any modem. Not much success... I'll keep trying as I get time.

Downloaded.
I'll check this out over the weekend.
Thanks.

Trying it now.
For those that said, it'll take at least a couple of weeks to get a modified kernel out after the source drop, eat your words

Thanks SOOO much for working on this the past week or more, it has been rocking my battery time and speed. If you guys and gals aren't aware, this vibrant kernel version has been getting all the good press over on their forums!
Glad to have you with us over here cmenard!

First run of quadrant after reboot was 1328, second run 1771, third run 1812. This is a bit odd, because under the old setup of KB1 with voodoo lagfix injected by supercurio himself, Quandrant was alway hovering around 1550, never varying.
Addressable memory is upped to 341MB as advertised. Voodoo Control app recognizes the kernel. BLN , I don't use right now.
Great work. Will keep this kernel around until something comellingly better shows up. Any chance on adding OC/UV options to this?
P.S. - I guess the Quadrant score bump on second and third runs might have been due to turning the screen off after first run, resulting in FPS cap removal. I also like the OverStock boot logo.

Going to download and try this out. Thank you for your work on this.

NICE! Will take it for a spin this weekend!

Very interesting. I'm going to have to try this out over the weekend.

Same thing here. I just tried it after reading this post, and I can hear fine but the other party complained of bad static.

what modem is recomended with this kernel?

Sounds like the audience chip is not getting used. Probably incomplete Samsung code. Can anyone that built from previous i897 Samsung sources guide the OP on what to add to invoke the audience chip logic. Since he is from the Vibrant camp, this is likely a new issue for him.

Thanks for the feedback. We did our testing on Serendipity with it's included I9K modem. That was one of my concerns, was using the Voodoo sound with the Captivates unique sound architecture. I'll see if Rockasama wants to nuke his phone and run Cognition with the KB1 modem and we can start narrowing this down.
