Root One Stop Shopping for Fascinate Kernels

[nitsuj17]

Saps are you running the EB01 voodoo? I am on the fence on switching over, I am not currently noticing any lag but would love a little more consistent battery life.

Voodoo wont do anything different for battery life...maybe a 1 percent improvement from quicker write operations....but not worth going to it just for that reason

 

[saps]

Really that many people putting out kernels? I'd figure jt putting some cleaned up ones out and then once his tithing is updated Nemesis and imnuts building off of that....sirgatez seems to take jt base and then go with his own work on top of it...so I'd think he might take a bit longer....and adryn seems to only put out kernels when there is a bug he thinks he can fix or a few uv ones to try stuff out

Oh yeah. I mean granted almost everyone starts with jt's base but you got jt, nem, imnuts, adryn, sir gatez thats who everyone knows about. comradesven makes some too. Who knows what we see from birdman and Kaos as well. Jamezelle said he might even take a crack at one for giggles. So yeah it might approach 10 different dudes by the end. Even if they are all just derivatives from whatever jt makes 1st. Bird and Kaos might be the ones who have non jt based kernels. But as you know so well predicting bird's move is likely forecasting the weather a month a head of time

Agreed. Voodoo doesnt change battery life. Having said that I still recommend it for an overall better user experience. If you are newer to the SF family you might get that impression that voodoo is better since with 2.1 voodoo we have so many UV choices. Its the uv that helps battery of course not the voodoo. So yeah when imnuts can make is -100mv kernel again thats going to give a very tangible boost to battery life per se.
However, on this current kernel which really is just the stock zImage and can barely be called a custom kernel its stock voltage which if you have ever done uv you know is not nearly as good

agreed...voodoo's great....but just for battery life i wouldnt recommend going

How has battery life been with the superclean 2.2.1 with the voodoo kernel for you that have it? Just wondering if I should make the switch from my 2.1 w/ jt's 1/24 to all the new stuff we've got. I love getting two days of use from my phone without charging

Battery life will be better on 2.1 due to the undervolted kernels

Thanks Nitsu and Saps, kind of what I figured about battery life just had to ask.

Yeah honestly looking at your sig we're all waiting for uv voodoo and we probably will be till March. Its ok though. We really are well dialed in now. Outside of Kaos surprising us with something from GB/CM7 the rest of the month should be business as usual

Yea I can't wait to start giving uv's a try. Hopefully I'll find one that likes my phone

Haha idk why your luck is so bad with uv kernels maybe 2.2 will bring a new era of how your phone works with them

Yea I finally got imnuts -50 to work right before I flashed froyo so maybe that was a good sign of what's to come

I took my phone off the charge at 9am. Did a couple phone calls, some texting, a little browsing, played angry birds, used the calculator and played with the camera..also have been using wifi the whole day...and now at 130am I am at 23%

added sirgatez kernels, thanks s44

He's working on hacking a custom Froyo from i9000 source too (birdman was playing with this earlier, not sure if he's still pursuing). Definitely keeping my eye on that.

Well sir gatez did post his first froyo kernel however, given its alpha state I might not link it on the main page just yet. Find it here [KERNEL] Fascinate Froyo Source (Built from Galaxy S I9000 Source) - xda-developers

 

[nklenchik]

Reading his post, what did he say about Gingerbread? Lol

Well the kernel source for .35 is available. Birdman was working on it awhile ago himself. Problem is there is a schism between getting that to work at all and having it fully functional for our SF. I mean look at sir gatez 1st froyo kernel from i9000 no radio. So I think the point is they will get us totally working .32 kernels first and then move onto .35 kernels since there are resourced available already. Kaos is also working on .35 kernels. Nothing has seen the public light of day of course....yet

In due time...in due time

Wow, this thread got buried. For those that haven't seen, jt has a source built ec10 kernel posted over at xda (has bln and voodoo sound among other improvements).

That's probably because there hasn't been much activity in terms of kernel's and Saps seems to be MIA this week.

OK finally got some some froyo source kernels from the braintrust in the OP now.
FWIW, hearing of these gems brought me out of hiding. Im personally running nemesis' OC/UV and luvin it

I am too, however, the second I change SetCPU to interactive my phone seems to become unstable.

Is there any advantage to Interactive over Conservative?

Interactive shortens the period of time it takes the cpu to go from idle [100Mhz] to max [1200Mhz]. It also lingers longer at the max before going back into idle. Basically the difference is small and rarely detectable in real world use or benchmarks. I use conservative as it also does give a slightly better battery life.
A great example is using the video player. If you use the video player on conservative the cpu operates at 400Mhz, with interactive it operates at top speed. For watching movies why use 1000 or 1200Mhz when 400 will suffice. Saves on power/battery.

Stick with conservative the pros outweigh any slight cons.

Welcome back

I haven't used setCPU in a long time.

Welcome back, Saps. Thanks for explaining SetCPU. I've always known of it, but never used it. Quick question: I flashed the EC10 OC UV Voodoo EnderstSpecial and installed SetCPU. I opened the app, and it was already set to conservative and max at 1200...so do I do anything? Or am I overclocked just simply by flashing this?
