Has anyone run the voodoo-ed superclean (either 2.2 or 2.3) in comparison to the it's counterpart non-voodoo-ed. I'm wondering if there's any noticeable difference. Or in other words if lagfix is worth it? I jumped from dl30 to 2.2 voodoo, and I was blown away, but I can't get my phone to act right, and I'm wondering if I should just wipe clean and start fresh with 2.3 non-voodoo-ed. Thanks for any comparison results you guys can provide.
Personally, I haven't had great lick going back and forth between voodoo and nonvoodoo. There are plenty of instructions on here that state how to do it properly, however. And you always have Odin (that is if your USB port is working...) to restore to stock if necessary.
I tried both, and personally I saw a huge improvement in speed and overall responsiveness with the voodoo version.
If you really want to be blown away, try jt's aosp v 0.7 -voodoo version. Its what I'm using now, and it will take alot to get me to switch.

Not familiar with that version. What base is it on?
Dl30. It's in the dev section. I would post a link but I can't from here.

Why are you still on that when EB01 has been released? Just curious.
Because my computer will not recognize my phone in download or as mass storage. I started a thread in the general section if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Is that just you having that issue or have others?
There are quite a few that have.

Is jt's AOSP completely finished and stable? I'd run it but I don't recall it being 100% complete...
Unless you need camcorder or mms, for the most part it's complete. I think the benefits of how fast it is and how good it looks outweigh the few things that don't work.

have you done a total wipe between upgrading between roms? have to flashed the eb01 modem with odin?

Thank you.
I could be mistaken but I'm fairly certain that Jt's .7 is running on eb01 or something like it. He has a custom kernel for the rom so I don't know how it works out, but I'm under the impression that it is eb01 at the moment, and you can use the eb01 baseband regardless
Edit: To the above, bluetooth is not working either, and thats a big feature for some

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.
I've tried every rom on DK28 since it leaked and today I odined back to 2.1 and I'm pretty sure this runs better. Anyone else?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
+1 on 2.1 for me
No I love dk28 with ext4 and bonsai rom with no journaling. Phone has never been this fast before.Also 1 meter locks on gps and even in my house. Never got a lock on eclair before. I'm never going back to eclair. I'm gonna update to the official froyo manually.
Guys,
What do you mean by better? GPS fixed with better battery life with snappy speed than when it was launched or are you refering to it being more reliable than DK28 leaked froyo?

You are def. Right. By the way I love your theme mystery. I've showed it to a lot of people that don't have epics and they all love it. Thank you for everything that you and to all the developers. Without you there wouldn't be a point in rooting our epics and we wouldn't know how.
Sorry I don't agree. 2.1 is buggy because Samsung doesn't have it set up right. DK28 runs smother, faster, and gps performs much better.
I agree with the OP. GPS is the only real world improvement that the dk28 roms have brought me. I like to play games on my Epic, and the graphics performance is just not up to par compared to di18. I still get the occasional lag and jitter in the UI also. But I need gps for one of my jobs so I'm gonna keep running dk28 roms untill sprint drops the official froyo.

No way DK28 is much smoother and better battery life; however, I have not hd much luck with the custom DK28 roms. Sticking with stock DK28.

I'm back on 2.1 because I finally got win7 on my comp and wanted to test odin. Had problems reoding dk28 so I went back to di18. Works great.

Yeah, I went back to di18 every time. Some of my dk gripes were the checkerboard and flash in stock browser and being unable to successfully put a custom hosts file in it and it works. I left out of frustration and went back to di.
Quantum Rom working great for me on DK28. The only thing I am not pleased with is the inability to tether w/ infrastructure mode.
Im on my second dk28 rom ive actually had running for more than an hour, midNIGHT 2.6 w EXT4, and Im pretty happy with it. I have seen for a split second the checkering on the browser, i think, but I was wondering, is that just what the browser does when its having issues loading, i.e. an annoying, but normal issue? I did not like it on some of the early dk28's, but that was with a lot of other kinks that appear to be worked out. Also, has anyone who went back to di18 noticed the keyboard dropout issue??? I never noticed it myself, but as someone else had pointed out it may be software, I chalked it up to 2.1 builds... but I THINK i have noticed it, maybe 10 times, but could just be looking for any little thing and actually missing keys. Maybe I dont text-type as fast as others, idunno. Also, w my third epic (second a replacement that fc'd on everything, but was the most solid physically built ive held), I noticed that hardware quality varies a lot, I expected this with the slider, but maybe extends to the kb? Anyways, di18 feels stable, but I wonder if its just the feeling that it is 'official'...
Good info. I've run quantum, bonsai (I prefer it leafless), midnight, ee all are amazing I just always find my self back at stock. Oh yea cyanogen nightly's are fun too.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've tried dk28 twice now with different roms and went back to di18 each time. Besides the gps "issue" di18 is the most solid phone build I've ever used.
Dk28 has the last.fm skipping, considerably bad keyboard lag/missed keys, captivate button lag, touches to the screen lag randomly.
Dk28 to me feels exactly like what it really is. A "good enough" leak, but it is far from polished.

If you can live with the retarded hardcoded accuracy in 2.1, then just flash the new radio. It seems to work fine.

noLED works nicely for this.. Its not on the lockscreen, but on a black screen.
If you are running froyo the best solution might be to go to the android stock screen. Try this link and look it over:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937286
The thread says it will work on DL30. I can say that it works on Froyo Superclean ROM without a glitch (and therefore, also with Blackhole 4.1).
It is also true that on 2.1 it wasn't really as easy to get the stock screen.

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?

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
You have to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash Genocide. It will retain all data.

EC07 is from TeamBlackHat, if you feel like getting it immediately and having a stock phone, then go for it and spend the $2 for the app to download it. Otherwise, wait another day or two and we'll have deodexed, pre-rooted, and debloated versions for you to flash.
Based on the upgrade to 2.2.2, I'm thinking that this is roughly equivalent to ED05 for the Fascinate.

Deodexed is a non optimized rom meaning it can be themed and modded. Odexed is the exact opposite.

I am not quite sure what you mean is "not optimized" There is no optimization differences, other than the fact the first boot is faster on odexed roms than deodexed roms xP
