Amazing how people with the exact same phones can have such different experiences. I'm running 1.5 with Slayers 1k kernel and smoked theme and it is flying.
Yes it is, but that is the nature of pushing things to the edge.

My best with the current setup:

Actually, as with any electronics that are mass produced, not all devices are the same.

Case in point- My DROID hated trying to go over 1100 MHz when I first rooted - until I used Taz's kernels. Then, it hated 1200 unless I used BD ROM. Now, it just hates it whenever I switch a ROM from something else that has been working on my phone for a long period of time lol.

My phone loves Chevy's kernels and does OK with P3's kernels, but performs nearly flawlessly on jdflg's kernels. It scores best with Chevy and decent with P3, but with jdflg's latest kernels my scores suck arse. But the phone runs perfectly fine with the kernel, smooth as silk, no lagging, extremely hard to reach high temps.

Others here have said that Chevy's makes their phone go stupid, that P3 does very well to excellent, and that LFY 1.5 with the stock kernel run as the best ROM ever.

I had that experience with LFY 1.4 - but 1.5 just ain't doing it for my phone. however,I have yet to flash dif kernels on here.

Although the devices are the same make and model, there is no way to say they are identical - the same CPU from Intel in 4 different machines can achieve 4 potentially different (as in drastically different) OCs.
Same applies to our phones.

Well... Looks like I pegged mine out. The fastest stable speed I can run mine at is 1100. Quadrant scored it at 1329. Not too shabby, but it just goes to show... not all Droids are created equal.

Exactly.

Not 100% sure why, but today i decided to swap my SetCPU over to the interactive mode and now HOLY CRAP, this is easily the fastest and smoothest my phone has gone. I've been running a few different 1.2 kernals (a couple of p3's, and now slayhers), but just going from ondemand to interactive its almost a night and day difference. Everything from waking up, to scrolling home screens, to opening and closing apps is just SUPER smooth, now if the battery life holds out, i may have a hard time wanting to change from this setup... Thanks liquid and slayher!!!

edit: decided to run quadrant while typing a few times
with SetCPU set to ondemand scores: 1455, 1637, 1576
with SetCPU set to interactive scores: 1505, 1679, 1723 (my personal best), 1677

:thinking: I am new to the ROM/THEME scene. I just installed LFY1.5 and the Blueberry theme. My homescreen is different than what is on the 1st page and there are only 3 screen not 5. Did I do something wrong? here is a screenshot of my droid.
it looks like you downloaded the tangerine theme. to adjust the number of screens go into the launcher setting under homepages and you can adjust the number of screens there.

My twitter app keeps asking me to log in, I log in check stuff, then if I go back to it it's still logged in, but if I don't go on for a while, like couple hours, then try, it has logged off on it's own and asks for my log in. Anyone else having this issue?

Not sure if someone answered this as I have yet to read through all the pages...

Check in settings > accounts and sync and if twitter is not listed add it as a new account. I had to do this with 1.4 and after install.

If it's not set up to sync it asks for login every time

I gotta say.. this ROM is extremely smooth, however I am also having the Market crash after install of any APK, even from non-market installs. I did a full wipe through clockwork so there was no residual files of any kind, but on Tangerine the market is the only thing I am having problems with.

I'm getting ready to try wiping and flashing again, but just thought I'd throw another voice out there currently having this issue.

So I was experiencing the lag using Slayer's 1000mhz kernel and couldn't take it anymore. I redownloaded it through ROM manager, wiped everything in recovery, and while hunting for the zip the phone just died. Battery pulls, plugging/unplugging, I can't get it to respond. Two questions:

1-any idea how to revive my phone?
2-where in the world did ROM manager download the zip to?

UPDATE:
Okay, so apparently either the Droid doesn't charge in recovery, or it wasn't getting enough juice from my laptop. I swapped batteries with my wife and we are good to go.
I'm back in recovery, now where is that zip!?

You need AC power when you phone has "died" and has no juice left.

That's why I don't download ROMs via ROM Manager...I can never find them either. Just gotta navigate through the folders listed here:

sdcard > clockworkmod > downloads > android.markjohnson.us (parent folder for Liquid's ROMs and themes)

Okie dokie folkies, played with some diff kernels and these are the results I've gotten. I'm not gonna bother with benchmarks, as even from my review I was still getting pretty good ones.

Chevy's: Chevy's kernels have never really liked my Droid, so I didn't expect much. It'll load, but I can only get so much performance, and I can't get above 1GHz.

Jake's: Was my go to kernel for quite some time, but couldn't get past the "M" logo.

jdlfg's: Well how bout that? No lag. Ran nice and smooth, the way it should. However, it would randomly reboot very often and more than a few FCs. Very unstable but some hope, though.

slayer's v.1.6: Again, no lag. Wonderful, might be narrowing down the issue. But like jdlfg's, many FCs and frequent random reboots.

original slayher's LFY1.5: Basically just reflashed the ROM and kernel, and this time there was less lag, but it was still present. And it got worse after a full day and then some. Also, battery drained very fast, yet again, so I dunno.

I see slayher has updated kernels so I'm gonna try that out and I'll report back, but I wanted to get this out here.

last night i reflashed 1.5 with smoked LFY and things were running great. then reflashed slayher lfy 1.5 1100 and thats were the lag came back, and it came back bad. went back to slayher 1.6 1100 and things seemed pretty good until i got up and the battery went from 90% at 2:00am to 40% at 7:00 am. it was the cell standby and phone idle.

Flashed this last night through Rom Manager, wiped/reset my phone and selected the Galaxy S theme. I had continuous force closes of the Market and the Download sync that Froyo introduced (forget the name). I tried a few things and basically just wiped, set my phone up again with just plain LFY, got everything installed then flashed the Galaxy S theme separately. Now I get non-stop force closes when trying to access my volumes under settings->sounds, anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is my first time using this rom/kernel and its extremely fast, hopefully any bugs there might be can be worked out.

i get that there is a lotta support for this rom, and that is great,but the problem is that it really needs it. there seem to be more negative posts than positive. i really liked liquid 1.4 but 1.5 took a step backwards i think. llike yankeedudel said when 1.5 works its great! but that isn't all the time which creates stability problems. im hoping 1.6 will have some of the bugs worked out because this could have been a really great rom:(
