So its impossible to get any sort of input on the Nero 5 thread with 3 posts a minute, so thought its give it a shot here.
Hello all, this is the honest truth. When my vibrant is sitting untouched, it has almost full 3G data with 2-4 Mbs/sec speed. Then when i pick it up within 10 seconds its gone into edge network with .05 Mbs/sec.
I so hoped this was just my imagination, but i played with it for 5 minutes, undesputable results. The action of picking up my cell causes it to loose immediate data reception. If no one else had this issue i will ODIN to stock and reflash. But is this a problem with the rom or kernal?
I'm on nero v5 and I don't have that issue.

I don't have this issue either... Your plan to odin back to stock and try flashing Nero V5 again has some merit but you might also try one of the other Radios from the development section. I believe that any of the 2.2 radios will work with Nero V5...
I think its the kernal, I have no data at all. I check under mobile network, it tells me no sim card.

It must have been the kernal, i flashed dragon kernal 2.8 with voodoo sound, and WOW, i mean the data connection is stable, but the real catch is voodoo sound. it blew my mind, who knew vibrant was even capable of such greatness. There is an overclocked version and a stock version. I'm running the overclocked and its lighting but you do need to do some car charging to get through the day safely. And questions ask, but i HIGHLY reccomend. dragon kernal 2.8 with Nero 5, perfect combo indeed.
What exactly is voodoo sound?

i also think its the kernel thats why i downgraded back to 4.1 and i'm waiting for v6 with the new ka6 kernel. supposedly that is much better then the ka5 with fast gps locks, but i haven't tested it yet cus i'm waiting for the new nero

Glad you found a right combo to your liking and took care of your data issue. I had some bad luck with the Dragon kernal, both stock and oc. The Dragon oc twice soft brick my phone and I had to odin back both times. After that I said hell with it, let me try the stock version. Yep, soft bricked again. I still haven't given up on it. I'll get it one of these days. Maybe it's my specific phone that's not liking it. Lol.

I have this problem, too. I thought maybe it was just me...Right after I flashed Nero v5, my data connection went to hell and I've been battling it all morning. Maybe I'll try going back to stock and seeing if that helps.
I am struggling with my desire to try a voodoo kernel - but I am not sure that I need to do so... I use the phone heavily, with plenty of browsing and write operations, and as I understand it, this is where you see the enhancements provided by voodoo.
When I first started getting interested in Android, there was a lot of discussion on voodoo, who needs it, why not to use it, the troubles of removing it or disabling it, etc. But now, things have gotten better, it seems. We can disable voodoo in red CWM, it does not seem to create the headaches for people that is had to potential to in the recent past.
So, I am wanting to try it - my question is, as someone who has learned enough t0 be careful and perhaps just enough to be dangerous, should I give it a try? Just looking for some insight before I jump in with both feet - IF I should jump in with both feet...
Should I do it?
Jump in with both feet! However keep in mind that you should only do this if you know how to use Odin and have stock images.
Short answer: Sure. Why not?
Flashing an appropriate voodoo kernel enables red CWM, which is all you need to handle everything voodoo related.
These days, risk is minimal.
Voodoo was the first thing I flashed when I got this phone on DI01. Haha. Woops.. Even though I did run into some of the problems removing back then... I found that all it took was a lot of extra reading. With it being easier and less risky... Id say go for it, as long as you have free time and dont mind wiping.
that said, Im not using it.
but I'll probably go back if we get the voodoo sound running..
color too right? not sure if that works in EB01, didnt bother reading about it.
voodoo color looks nice on the voodoo homepage.
I have been using it since DL09..... it seems to get rid off the pauses and make my phone quicker.....the best way to explain I guess, is
If you have a computer running windows XP on 512 MB of ram, it runs, just every time you do anything it has a slight hesitation to it.....and then after you upgrade the ram it runs smoothly
That's how it feels going from non voodoo to voodoo....
Voodoo has nothing to do with ram.... its just that was an example I felt most people could relate to...

Voodoo4 -- the old version -- was a giant pain in the ass, and yes, was a bit dangerous.
Voodoo5 -- what we use now -- is almost impossible to mess up, and is no more difficult to install than flashing a regular ROM. If you're comfortable flashing ROMs, there's really no reason not to go with Voodoo5.
And trust me, you will see a noticeable difference in speed, even if all you're doing is web-browsing and using apps, if you go from the non-Voodoo to Voodoo version of EB01 (which I'd highly suggest).
Yea voodoo is fine, just when you have voodoo installed... PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU FLASHING. NEVER flash a non-voodoo kernal over a voodoo kernel. Voodoo over voodoo is fine, voodoo over nonvoodoo is fine, NONVOODOO OVER VOODOO IS A NO NO.
I've had my share of non-voodoo and voodoo experience. My best voodoo experience was with Blackhole 3.0, DL09 + OTB voodoo overclocked at 1300mhz. My phone was screaming fast and no lag whatsoever. Then DL30 came around and was using Blackhole 4.01 non-voodoo. The phone performed pretty well, not as fast as before but it was faster than a non-voodoo 2.1 kernel. I did see some lags here and there but nothing major. Then EB01 came and I went to Superclean 2.4 with voodo. I didn't see the type of performance I saw with OTB voodoo and I had some pretty bad lags but this was during low battery levels around 25% and below. Now I am on Blackhole 4.2 non-voodoo and the performance is very similar to when I was on Blackhole 4.01 (DL30). Also, I experienced my very first battery issue. The battery level shows 88% eventhough the phone says that the battery is fully charge in the pop-up message.
I was really hoping to see a significant amount of performance and battery life increase from Froyo but I am not that impressed over one of my prior setups with OTB voodoo kernel. The only cool thing for me on Froyo is the ability to install apps on the SDcard. I do heavy texting and accessing webpages simultaneously. I wish theres an OTB voodoo kernel for EB01. Right now, I am contemplating on going back to Blackhole 3.0, DL09 + OTB voodoo (overclocked).

So many o's....
Well thank you! This is a great host of information, and I think I Am leaping with both feet this weekend...
I am comfy with odin, rom flashing, and wiping (after backup, of course!), so I am feeling like there's really no risk.
I look forward to joining you all on the "dark" (?) side...
If I can ask one more question - did I read right (and you are more than welcome to scream SEARCH!, cause I'll be doing that too) that sound and color are not working on EB01 Voodoo kernels?
I wanna make sure I am not jumping in to remove functionality
Again, I appreciate all teh info!
Voodoo sound and color aren't working yet on EB01. jt mentioned something about it being a no-go until we have the Froyo source from Samsung. Voodoo sound was amazing and I'm hoping we'll get that soon.
SO what is in Voodoo?
I had Superclean 2.4 (EB01) and my phone had sound and color. I listen to Pandora during my commute to and from work.
I think this is what is meant by voodoo lagfix, sound and color. I took this from project voodoo's website. And EB01 only supports lagfix for now so your improvement will be completely speed and performance based
Voodoo lagfix: improve performance level and consistency by using
Voodoo color: enhance viewing experience by fine-tunings of the display parameters for global usage and video.
Voodoo sound: improve the sound of your phone to great extends.

thank goodness for this thread, i was on the fence about voodoo too but i'm just gonna do it. how do you go back to a non-voodoo kernel if you don't flash a non-voodoo one?
I really feel like I am asking to be spoon fed here, but I still get a little confused between ROM's and Kernels and compatibility. So does anyone care to suggest teh proper voodoo kernel for my setup? I am currently running JT's bootanimation kernel, blackhole 4.2 on EB01 modem, themed midnight.
I would presume that all I need to flash is just a vodoo 5 kernel (likely from JT, right?) but all I seem to locate are full rom packages. I am real happy with Blackhole and midnight - so will I need to install a full superclean, then blackhole back on top, then re-theme to midnight?
I hate to need this hand-holding, but I need this hand-holding at my present level of competent-ness
So right with me on non-voodoo superclean 2.4, is it as simple is just flashing superclean 2.4 voodoo version?

yes. download the 2.4 voodoo file, wipe data, cache and davlik and then wait.. it takes a while to boot the first time and ur phone will talk to you while it sets up. it is a 10 min or so boot so don't get nervous.
do not load download or use rom manager after u boot it.
voodoo has increases the speed of everything on my device by double.
you just need to understand that u can't flash non voodoo roms without disabling voodoo first. read the stickies on how to disable and also search forums and read about voodoo.
it took me a while before moving to voodoo but its something im glad i did. i tried for first time on 2.1, and started on 2.2 with no voodoo. but it sucked me back in lol and i love how it works.
Samsung Fascinate - EB01 Froyo. Running SuperClean 2.4 Voodoo
Well, I made the leap and I am very VERY pleased that I did.
Awesome, really.
I did not clear data, thinking I would have a try at it like that first and could start a new if needed, but everything is running beautifully. I only cleared cache and davlik... the phone is running amazingly fast.
Now I get to do my brother-in-law and my wifes today. Full odin to EB01, then on to voodoo.
Thank you for the info!!
ETA - of course, now I am questioning me not clearing data. Think I am going to repeat the process with data clear before applying the zip again. Is this necessary?
ETA - should have left well enough alone. FC hell now. Restored my backup and the phone boots, but everything FC's. Did a fix permissions, booting now to see. no help there, looks like I will odin back to EB01 and start anew.
hmm
so was originally on Superclean non-voodoo 2.4. Did a reboot to recover, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery status, wipe davilk.
Install superclean voodoo 2.4, reboot. Waited and listen to robotic voice. Let phone run through install, grab a drink, took a nap, la la la la..
phone now ready with Superclean voodoo 2.4. Restore app backed up with Titanium Backup.
i really did not notice 3G speed improvement while browsing or phone performance while using. Must be doing something wrong.
I am running DK28 viper 2.0 trinity with the genocide kernel and I am pretty happy with it. It is ridiculously fast and haven't had any problems with it all.
Is it worth going to all the trouble to flash it to EB13? Is it any better than the viper rom?
EB13 is amazingly smooth. There are a lot of shortcomings, but omfg the smoothness.
Plus pretty soon I'm sure viper rom well require eb13.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Your rom will most likely be updated to EB13 in the future, if you want to wait to just update the rom. I flashed the deodexed EB13 and am using LauncherPro and have not had any issues whatsoever, it is amazingly smooth and stable for me.
I think I will wait to change... It took a lot of time to find a ROM that was kickass and I don't want to downgrade it to EB13 if the specs are not overwhelming.

Specs? God knows you could never get back that millisecond extra it took you to open up a app.
Dk28 will not be supported anymore. If you like viper rom then just wait till they get a rom on eb13 and then upgrade to it.
I'm liking EB13 haven't seen the dk28 bugs like wifi errors.
My Experience with EB13
Here are the pros:
-Great TouchWiz launcher improvements. Allows for user settable home screens up to 7.
-Bluetooth VoiceDial works if you Odin the.tar file.
If you flash EB13 with CWM or update.zip its hit or miss. (errors out right after connecting to headset). I tried several times and still buggy.
-EB13 modem seems stable.
-TWS issues.
Here are the cons:
-Map compass is 180' off. Fix is to calibrate screen upside down. Then its fine. Accurate within 3-5 meters and oriented correctly.
So far I am running unrooted and happy. Baking it for a week.
Once I remove the bloatware, this should be a fast, smooth machine and I will be even happier. Stay tuned.
Epic Stock EB13 (Odin) Unrooted for now.
I say yes.
I have EB13 deodexed with Genocide 0.3a kernel and LauncherPro+, and everything is buttery smooth for me.
With the camera blur fixed. Its worth it. I love it!
I've noticed 0 difference, going from dk28 to eb13... genocide . 3a is AMAZING!!!!! But I was running it on dk28 also.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'd say yes since the voice call (speaker toggle) bug and wifi bugs are no more, and it is smoother overall performance than DK28. Personally I would just flash the genocide .3 kernal on top of what you have now as I believe genocide is compatible with DK28 (or was it just that first release) and then wait till they update viper to eb13.
I plan on upgrading, just waiting for a ROM that catches my eye.

ACS Syndicate is so FAST. They are about to release the 1.1 version. Make sure to update. Excellent fixes involved. Should be the best EB13 ROM until Gingerbread (CM7) releases.

I just reverted back to DJ05 to test voodoo sound, color, and lagfix and I must say it's amazing. I hadn't really messed with voodoo until superclean 2.9 EB01 and it was ok but nowhere near as fast as DJ05 with voodoo. With EB01 I wasn't experiencing that snappiness that everyone is talking about but now I know. The headphone amplifier in the voodoo lagfix is AMAZING and lets me use my Klipsch Image S4's to their fullest. I don't think I'm going back to FroYo until the source code is released and awesome custom kernels like the one I'm on now get developed. Sorry if this is a pointless thread I'm just super excited and amazed.
For those interested in trying it out there are links below. Be sure to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. If this is your first time using voodoo do not use this post as a reference. I do not want to dedicate this thread as a voodoo how-to because I have only been on voodoo for a week and I am inexperienced. Search threads to find a voodoo how-to thread and come back once you figure it out (it's easy). This is for those on froyo who have not yet experienced true voodoo custom kernels or simply just want to return but can't find good links.
Good things I've noticed.
-Snappier.
-Instant GPS lock!!!!(Just realized this). I know it didn't work on DJ05 before.
-Higher Quadrant scores.
-Market is smoother, apps download and install way faster.
-Good battery life. going on 12 hours now and still at 63% (Would be in the 40's on EB01). This is with the screen on full brightness!! On EB01 I had the brightness always at the lowest setting.
-Messaging is less buggy. Messages I send are received every time.
-SD scan is faster.
-Boot is faster.
-Sound amplifier/driver is amazing!
-AMOLED screen looks better overall.
-Better signal/speed.
Bad things I've noticed.
-Swype is being a pain. Said my trial expired. Other methods of reinstalling it I've used before aren't working. Swype beta says trial expired also when I try to install. To fix this see below.
HOW TO FIX SWYPE:
1. Download a swype.apk WVGA resolution from the interwebs. (Can't post it here)
2. Change your default keyboard to any keyboard other than Swype.
3. Using root explorer, go to system/app/ and delete Swype.apk
4. Go to system/lib and open the search method in the menu and type in Swype. This will search for any files containing the word Swype. There should be two of them one of which is swypelibcore.so and I forgot the other. If you don't see either of these then you are fine to continue to the next step.
5. Install the swype.apk you downloaded earlier and let it do its thing. If it says your device isn't supported you downloaded the wrong swype. It needs to be WVGA because that is the resolution of our device.
6. If you get force close after installing, restart your phone.
-Lower MFLOPS benchmarked with Linpack.
-Cant use FPSe(New Playstaton emulator on market), it's for 2.2+ =(.
Please, please only try this if you are comfortable with flashing. I am not responsible for those who mess up their device by lack of research on the topic.

Hmmm, I think I'd like to test it out to see what it's like. I never ran DJ05, mind posting the goods for me?
having spent extensive time on both...djo5 with voodoo does not outperform ebo1 w/ voodoo...while ebo1 v5 is not optimal obviously as its just the stock kernel w/ ext4...its pretty stellar
im sure some people would agree with you, but personally..i dont
and really if dj05 v5 was so much better...wouldnt we all still be on it?
I must agree with N17 after I recently did a factory data reset and reloaded DJO5 and used it for a few days i went back to EB01 I did notice that with my reset I loaded minimal apps and no wall papers and very few widgets on my home screens I am now using the same battery charge for 24 plus hours I am very happy also sc2.9.1
Well, without even having tried, I am now not going to bother...N17 has definitely proved himself around here in my book, and if he says it does not outperform, then it does not outperform and it would be a waste of time. SO thanks for the input guys.
Just my observations...don't get me wrong I love EB01 but its so buggy and I was not experiencing the snappiness I am now. The market apparently loads way faster with less issues, apps download and install faster, SD scan is faster, battery isn't bipolar I've had less drop in battery than on EB01. The color fix is great and the sound is amazing. To me right now being on DJ05 is way more worth it until custom kernels for EB01 are released. Other things I've found to be better are people receive my texts all of the time and better reception.

I'd go back simply for the sound fix, because most of what I do on my droid is music-related, but I'm too lazy at this point.
Crazy to think how long we've had leaked Froyo, and Verizon still doesn't have an official update out.
I am on SC 2.9.1 voodoo. Reverting to DJ05 voodoo sounds like an interesting exercise, if it does not cause the bricking of my Fascinate. Hopefully, the OP will eventually be edited to clearly describe how one might execute the change, including all steps. I feel comfortable with Odin and CWM, but I get confused regarding what modem, kernel, baseband, etc to flash, and in what sequence. Looking forward to a step by step description of how to go from SC backwards to a DJ05 ROM..

Well, I am.
Voodoo Sound and BLN are essential. Go SirGatez go.
Yeah, I personally prefer DL09 over EB01 for a number of reasons, but I hate that I'll no longer have access to flash and certain apps. That's pretty much the only reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to DL09. I admit that I have gone back a couple of times because battery life is better, Voodoo Sound is amazing, and there are tons of overclocked kernels, and it's faster (especially if you use a Blazed Eclair kernel). I've never bothered going back to DJ05, however, since I started using the official DL09.
Why isn't flash on 2.1!? If it was, I'd drop EB01 in a heartbeat.

Just curious. I was thinking of going back. My phone used to fly on 2.1. They only thing I did not like was lack of flash player capability.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Until we got the open source kernel with BLN, I was strongly thinking about downgraded (and rather regretted upgrading so soon), due to the loss of BLN. Now, my phone is at least as fast, has all the same features (lacked GPS then, and still do now ), but also all the new Froyo features like push notifications (push = infinitely better for battery!).
I went back to stock 2.1 (EA28) after using 2.2 with superclean 2.9.2. So far, I'm impressed with 2.1, check out the improvements:
1) Browser scrolling is much smoother!
2) Battery life is great without doing bunch of hacks each boot!
3) POP email client actually works correctly and doesn't snap to top of list constantly!
4) SMS looks much better!
5) GPS locks faster than any 2.2 ROM!
Negatives of 2.1:
1) slightly more UI lag sometimes... but not bad
2) Google maps doesnt fully 3D rotate
Overall, 2.1 is better. I'm waiting for official 2.2, hopefully it will address the bugs in the leak. Perhaps it will never come, and then we'll all never buy Samsung again.

I made a post about this yesterday. Every time I mention 2.1 performs better overall than Froyo i get attacked my developers. Bottom line is that Battery/Performance just aren't as good for me on 2.2 as they were on 2.1. Also apparently memory management is supposed to be better but tasker constantly reports low memory and when I clear the RAM it hardly goes down until reboot.
Im back on 2.1. I got sick of constantly battling wakelocks. I will flash Nameless when v4 drops though.
If i go back, I will Root, CWR, and debloat, debing myself. I will also look into an AOSP voodoo kernel for voodoo lagfix and sound. I am considering trying this out. If I do I will let y'all know if the kernel and voodoo like 2.1, i know the rest of the stuff works as i have done it before, and now that we have a fixed CWR, even better, plus i really like the feeds and updates widget.
Went back to 2.1 myself as well

If I do I will let y'all know if the kernel and voodoo like 2.1, i know the rest of the stuff works as i have done it before, and now that we have a fixed CWR, even better, plus i really like the feeds and updates widget.

I flashed back to dl01 with root and sirgatez's blazed kernel. So far so fast!

Honestly, after jumping onto the Froyo boat so late in the game from using DJ05 forever, and with kernels popping up, Froyo is as fast if not faster than 2.1 has ever been. Battery life is the same, and the extra 2.2 features are awesome.

Battery life almost doubled when I switched to 2.2 and it's running quite a bit faster. Best of all is the working gps and flash! Never going back.

Being the noob I am,, so far I've only personally experienced the 2.1 stock verizon bloat load and now SC 2.9 with voodoo. All I can say is WOW,, there is no comparison between the performance of those two,, the SC absolutely blows away the old stock 2.1. So eh no, I dont see ever going back to 2.1.
Now that being said, I've never tried a 'debloated' 2.1 version of a load of any kind, maybe running voodoo filesystem structure,, so maybe that would be even faster,, idk.. But at this point I am so happy with it that I really I dont want to mess with it
I've been back and forth and ultimately I would have to say that a ComaVolted SC 2.9.2 is a lot better than the eclair version of the phone. I get killer battery life and my phone actually works the way it was meant to. I don't think I will be going back to 2.1.
My battery life has increased by a great fold ever since I switched to 2.2. Everything else has far surpassed 2.1 from my experince.
The only reason I would ever go back to 2.1 was if I had to return my phone.

I have reverted back to D101 so many times I lost count. In my opinion there are many things both benifitial and negative for both 2.2 and 2.1. Personally I go for stability, but I have finally got a stable 2.2. And I actually like TW.
D101 is still a good build in my opinion. I would still be perfectly happy running it, but theming and kernels are much more fun.

When I first started all the customization, I was very hesitant. I ran just the Stock EB01 debing/debloat for a while and had zero issues, with the exception that the vibration length changed from 2.1 to 2.2.
Just use Odin 1.3 and follow the instructions if you haven't done it before.
Edit: I am running the Superclean 2.9.2 myself with all the TW aspects added back in, even the live wallpapers. I like the stock look and feel, but I also like many of the Superclean features.
Personally I would hold off flashing anything new until NAMELESS drops. It should be within the next few days and may finally give us the 100% froyo experience we have been waiting for along with edify scripting and the new cwm.
Until then im going to stick with my personally debloated, debinged, detouchwiz-ed , EA28.

Well, glad thats just you, personally.
By the way,
EC10 is about 70% binary identical to EB01.
