What is this? It's an experimental ROM install setup that avoids the use of RFS entirely. The install basically pre-voodoo's your phone. If you know you want voodoo, this is faster than installing then doing voodoo, but it's a little more complicated. Not much, but be warned. It avoids the use of RFS durring install completely, so no RFS corruption to worry about.
The ROM itself is mostly untouched. The kernel is my Dragon Kernel, i9k based, so it will eat your battery (froyo only, eclair is better as we have source). I can get about 12 hours out of it. Buy a charger.
The new version is a 1-click install. It installs the kernel, reboots into it, then auto-installs the ROM. I tested it coming from JFD without issues.
These are based on voodoo5 beta code. Curio is releasing voodoo5 stable here soon, and I'll post an updated no-wipe kernel flash for that.
The ROMS are Team Whiskey Obsidian, Onyx, and Fusion. I changed the install procedure and the kernel out, the rest is as they made it. I take no credit for the ROM. Please post bugs here however, so I can make sure they are ROM bugs before letting TW know about them. I'm running the Onyx version as my daily driver. There has been some private beta testing, and they seem stable, but do have Odin handy just in case. I have installed over the top of various ROMs, but the safest way is probably to come from JFD just to be sure.
ALL THESE ROMS WIPE. NO, I WON'T CHANGE THAT.

Onyx 4.2: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Onyx-Installer-v1.0.zip
Fusion Final: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Fusion-Installer-v1.0.zip
NOTE: THESE INSTALL VOODOO. ALL THE USUAL VOODOO PRECAUTIONS APPLY, IF FLASHING SOMETHING, DISABLE IT FIRST.
The latest voodoo stuff seems to play nicer and I have flashed things from clockwork without bricking, but just be warned.
Updates:
Kernel with the stable voodoo5 release. Should work with any froyo ROM, does not wipe.

I can conform that these are indeed working. And they work beautifully. I'm evening thinking about going back to some voodoo love.
Love your work ttabbal.

Hmmm...cool. Might have to try this with Axura 2.1.

Curious! So what's the true (RFS free) Quadrant score for Vibrant?
Can we have just a kernel flash that will convert all the partitions? supercurio's i9000 flash doesn't wipe the data, it simply tars it and then untars it back once the conversion is done to each partition. Thanks for the hard work.

The post is about the ROMs, but yes, the kernel update I'm about to post will convert an existing system to ext4 on reboot with the just released voodoo5 stable code.
It's the custom kernel I reference in the OP. If you want more than about 12 hours off charger, don't install it. I'm going to look at Eugene's recently posted source to see if I can implement whatever he did to get the kernel sleeping better, but no promises. And reports are kind of mixed last time I looked at it anyway.
When Samsung gets around to releasing source, we can do better. Till then, give me a patch or don't complain about it.

Nice. I'll hold off trying this with Axura 2.1 until this posted, then. A battery life of 12 hours is fine in exchange for what Voodoo will provide in return.

Sweet, thank you.
i flashed this on obsidian v5 beta w/ jk6 modem and it running like a champ. however, you were right about the battery life
thanks for posting it before hand. i appreciated.
Love the new kernel would u consider an overlook version? Eugene 1256 is so snappy but it corrupts data. That speed plus voodoo is crazy fast. Real 2000 + quadrant.

Froyo Kernel on Eclair?
ttabbal,
I did not know that a Froyo kernel could be backward compatible to Eclair. Is that the case, given that your Dragon 2.0 incorporating Voodoo 5 Stable will work with Bionix Fusion?
Please help me to understand this.
More to the point, I am on Bionix 1.9.1. Would Dragon 2.0 w/Voodoo 5 Stable work on my setup?
Thanks,
Bruce
Would love to use this, however i cant seem to get anything to install from the market no matter what i do. My TitaniumBackup restores just fine(apps only). Ive ODIN'd back to JFD twice but still nada. Ill try starting from JI6 and see if it helps.

So I'm running ttabbal's latest kernel, 2.0, and just ran a quadrant. It gets 1564 as the score. Now, this isn't just from voodoo alone, he's done a few speed tweaked which will bump up the score. But it's snappy as hell.
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
Just put this in my phone and its works fine I'm running axura 2.1 works fine but u will see a second boot up screen the benchmark test is not that high I got in the 2500 with the oclf inthe market download but can't do that one anymore it tells me I have one installed already but over all its smooth
Don't worry about benchmarks, they are easy to fool in a high level system like Android. Cyanogen managed to get something stupid like 10k out of Quadrant.
This setup isn't for being a benchmark queen. It's targeted at a couple things I deem important. Multitasking smoothness/performance, and a test of direct-to-ext4 install. The no-wipe voodoo kernel is really intended to be used as part of the whole, but like I said, it should work with any froyo. Note: NOT ECLAIR. If there is more demand for an eclair version, I'll consider updating my eclair ramdisk as well.
As for the market, couldn't say. It's NOT the rom/kernel though. The market is a finicky thing and sometimes just doesn't work. It's usually the server side or the app itself that has an issue though. There's also an update to Market for Froyo, it seems to be more stable. You should get it downloaded automatically after running for a while. To check, look at an app description, you should have a new tab "Related".
When I've had market problems, I fire up my Wife's G2 on a stock rom (not even root) and she does too, so it's not anything I, or anyone other than Google, can control.
Does anyone know whether the Dragon Kernel that works with any Froyo ROM available from the OP supports use of a BootAnimation.zip?
UPDATE: Thanks geoffcorey for the info!
Tried on Axura 2.1 with larger nand. Flashed, rebooted, converted with no issues and is running very well so far. Haven't been successful getting Voodoo to run before now.
Thanks to TW, ttabbal, Supercurio, et al.

So I can flash this kernel over my setup on Axura 2.1 and it'll move everything over? What are the dangers? If for some reason it didn't boot up is there a way to recover without Odin?

I did this very thing in my post #16 above yours. Go for it! Remove any other lag fixes you may have though. I had none installed so I didn't have to do that. PERFORM A NANDROID backup and optionally copy to a computer before flashing the kernel to be safe. Restoring the Nandroid backup won't restore the kernel though.
The dangers are minimal if you backup. Permanently bricking the phone is unlikely. You may soft brick but you probably won't. PLUG IN AND DON'T TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE "TW" LOGO DISAPPEARS! Around this time, you will hear a voice say voodoo has been activated.
I believe the conversion process may attempt to revert the changes it tried to make in the event of an unsuccessful conversion. If reversion is successful then you should again have access to CWM to flash back to any rom you have stored on your phone. Use nandroid to restore your data and your back to normal.

This is Froyo Sense coming to Vogue...
Calling does not work!!
The latest kernel 240x320 works the best.
It runs about as fast as Super Hero with no Overclocking when WildVogue is oc'ed to 520 mhz with Rogue tools
It runs from a system.img but i am working to strip it down to NAND
Data should be put on NAND
I have no clue if this will work on Polaris or Kaiser(It'd be helpful if someone could try...)
here are some preliminary screenshots(attached).
This preliminary(Beta) build:
Thanks vellowax for all the help
Thanks Thoughtlesskyle for your kind suggestions
And the whole community for all the previous work that helped me get here.
Its a port from WildPuzzle v8 for Wildfire
the androidinstall.tar is here
I'm looking for help learning and developing it but I'm coming along
This is a Beta I have no responsibility whatsoever if you brick your phone
If you have any suggestions please reply in this thread

Excellent Jholtom, I've linked this thread in Kaiser forums, If noone will be brave enough to try it out I will test it in the afternoon. Great job!
link is doesnt work if i download this ill try yhe kaiser but icant download this link
The link is fixed now
can not install kaiser because low memory on nand
What Kernel are you using for this jholtom ?
I tried using the 11/29/10 2.6.32 kernel and was getting an error message.
I'll try again with the 10/29/10 2.6.32 kernel
Will give this a try.
I have it installed on the kaiser. It took a little work but its on. It will only work in 320x240 and with at least 200 mb for sys and then use an ext2.img for data. One problem I am having though is that all the HTC setup apps fc. I am going to try just removing them and see how that works. I used an old october kernel as I tried to update to the 11/29 one and was getting a module error and did try the android update and it didnt solve it so I rolled back.
trashed my super froyo so i guess ill give this a try........
great jobs,i'll give it a try
I managed to actually get into the rom finally. I took a setupwizard from a froyo rom and used it. I had to really fight with it though. The wizard ran poorly, and the date and time settings at the end kept fc'ing looping it back to the beginning of the wizard until finally it went into the rom. Going to test it now. I do not believe its a phone issue but a build issue as of right now. If you could remove the date and time settings it is referring to then I think it might be a bit better.
To run on the kaiser so far i've had to:
Set resolution to 320x240, Change partition to be 200 MB on SYS and rest on DATA via ext2.img . Afterwards I took a setupwizard.apk from a froyo rom and then renamed and replaced the HTCSetupWizard.apk the rom included as that was contributing to FC's.
On the kaiser wifi and the radio are not working. Both get an error when attempting to be used. I am going to try bringing in a etc folder from a working froyo rom and see if that solves the issue.
Lastly there is a power issue on the kaiser. It seems to keep thinking its almost near dead while on usb even though in the kernel it shows the proper power levels.
OK...
Tried this on my Vogue
the 10-31-10 2.6.25 NBH kernel will work.
BUT!!!
Do NOT try this on a class 2 card - OMFG... WAY too slow
Class 4 or class 6 at least...
Hopefully you can fit it in NAND soon?

Everything works fine on my vogue running 240x320 2.6.32-froyo-09/10/21 kernel

What device are you on?
I would try the 240x320 2.6.32 froyo 09/10/21 kernel for vogue(if thats what you have)
I dont know for kaiser of polaris
The build itself is a decent speed but the problem is, your not able to clock up with rogue tools until after you have everything set up. So default were at 400 mhz which is dirt slow. As for the kernel, I don't believe thats going to make a difference here. I did try to merge the etc folder with fresh froyo's and it made no difference. I thought maybe the missing wifi levels folder and a couple other things would help.
That means our problem is deeper somewhere else for those. Also, I would include rogue tools in the build itself to save some hassle downloading it at slow speeds.
fyi, i'm a kaiser developer. I know I never post on the vogue or polaris forums.

Thats not the same as overclocking through atools right? I know that through a tools the kaiser gets unstable as all hell. For some reason it doesnt with rogue tools.
I'm running "not so free super froyo" ROM on 2.6.25 kernel on Bell HTC Touch CDMA. Everything works, but sometimes I have spontaneous reboots: usually when phone is doing something intensive (like calculating route in Google maps navigation) it seems to freeze up for a sec and then reboots. No overclocking or anything special.
Anybody had this problem? Is there any solution or known kernel/ROM combination that is known to be stable? I've tried couple of other roms, and 2.6.32 kernel, but had the same problem.
Try the ROM Fresh Froyo with the latest kernel .25 and then says how it went..

That's the one I flashed and tried super froyo rom, and still I have problems - every several hours I just see linux text lines this time - have to remove the battery to shut it down. Or it reboots...
So I've just recently flashed my vogue with myns donut for a couple days and It was pretty good. The camera worked but no video and neither did the gps. I understand that for verizon you have to follow a specific procudure to get that to work so that makes sense. I'm just curious to what android roms they are using for their vougue. I'm looking for one that has the most working features. Let me know what it is and how you had it set up.
For my Fresh Froyo although remember android no is 100% stable but Fresh Froyo is very good.
If you know what you want my barebones build is known to be one of the fastest and most stable builds. With that though you need to get the apk's to what you want and add them in. It is meant to be as cut down to the minimum to be light and lithe on our devices.
Another way to get apps is to use the market, I have the most recent version of the market in my build. CM 6.1 is Froyo based so you have video and all the other froyo features.

This is my situation too....as I posted above. I know how to install, but am unsure of exactly what you are recommending as to the Fresh Froyo files. Thanks again.
Well try to be brief to that understand... (my English is very bad).
They must go to the thread of Fresh Froyo and go to this page, there download the ROM latest although I recommend the penultimate that is in my signature the most recent gave me problems.
The ROM download whith the name system-froyo-us-unodex-XX-XX-XX (X are date) have to rename it to androidinstall.tgz and copy in the ANDBOOT folder then locate the kernel of their choice here, the most recent is 2.6.32 although I recommend 2.6.25 which is in my signature if need USB mass storage in 2.6.32 doesn't work.
For the rest follow the installation guide in NAND is here and everything should go well.
Not be as it is done for HARET but here also the Guide to install in haret. I believe with what I said is more than enough so installed android in their device.

It works in Ubuntu Linux. It does not work for Windows 7, at least that I could configure successfully.
I'm using SuperFroyo and the 2.6.32.9 Kernel and a few things I noticed to make it more stable: don't use a Task Killer and be sparing in your use of a cache cleaner. Seriously, a week of doing that has really helped things. Trust the Linux Kernel, it's not Windows. I also used Autostarts to prevent a few of the more eager apps from starting automatically post-boot, but that's optional.

I cannot as I do not have Clemsyn's kernel so I cannot commit his fixes for stability to git. As far as the git kernel goes it already has those fixes.
Also with fresh froyo or any AOSP build you will not have as much speed since it does not have all the Cyanogen Mod tweaks.
So it loses a lot of those tweaks but I can say 1 thing about cm6.1 and 7 so far, they are getting rather large themselves, I can look into cm7 for hero and find atleast 10 apks that just take up space or are only good once

Does seem contradictory as to not use a task killer, the task killer close applications that are open and if you don't use are accumulating and this put slow the phone, the APP autostarts manager if I heard but none that worked well in my Vogue, which do you use?

Using this kernel modified with atool I may obtained the benefits mentioned in the battery life?

Yeah that is true, it's why I made a barebones.

even with barebones, the cm settings along with the now statistic reporting and updater (which cause FC's if removed) are still pretty huge. i have grown to like cm7 on my hero but with having so much stuff commited to the project as much as i hate to say it, there is starting to be alot of ::gulp:: bloatware

Does seem contradictory as to not use a task killer, the task killer close applications that are open and if you don't use are accumulating and this put slow the phone, the APP autostarts manager if I heard but none that worked well in my Vogue, which do you use?

You don't need a task killer. The newer versions of Android will shut down apps that aren't being used if the resources are needed elsewhere. If you run a Advanced Task Killer or something similar, it will use system resources shutting down apps that then re-open themselves, which the task killer will again kill. It drains the battery and makes the OS unstable. Uninstall your task killer for a few days and see if it helps.
I use Autostarts because it fixed a problem--the music player started randomly. I also use it to prevent some apps from starting up but it is probably not necessary.
I've been successed in x1 nand by flowing Alex&caliban2's instruction,and bring it to my country as the first one,thx to xda.
Now could anyone tell me how can i use "ast-alex-linux-xperia-android-2.6.35.tar.gz" which download from "gitorious.org/~ast/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/alex-linux-xperia"
your question leaves two reasons why you're asking this:
a) you want to learn how to develop kernel.
b) you think you're missing out on latest kernel and want to use it on your phone. or "bring it to your country".
well, if it really were a) you wouldn't be asking this in here, but would've found the answer how to compile kernel elsewhere. so let's go with b):
you're not missing out on anything. suspend-bug is still unfixed, flashing android to nand is nice, but even less usable than haret-version. alex was stuck on this, he went back a step and is rewriting lots of kernel-stuff.
quote from irc-chat today:
[22:22] <helicopter88> Alex[sp3dev]: will you continue to work on .35 or since now only 3.1?
[22:23] <Alex[sp3dev]> helicopter88: depends on whether i'll fix wifi on 35 or not. i plan to release a test build without wifi since many people use 3g instead

thx a lot! i see
I find good karnel is to be 2.6.27.46 its 890 kb big, you can find it in sensdroid v5 android from jertan93, and in hendroid android..
very good battery consumpiton last two days, charging is also working but not always so that is the issue, and some keyboard freezing sometimes...
Maybe is better kernel out there but i did find where...
nope, no better kernel. you're using ygge-kernel, btw. (zimage is part of kernel too)
there's midnight's kernel on neopeek, based on .27 from xdandroid, adjusted to x1. faster, no bug with hw-keys, charging works in theory.
but:
batt-meter is broken, it always shows 100%. so you never know how much juice is left. and it doesn't shut down the sys when batt gets critical. it runs till it's completely depleted. (=deep discharge = bad thing for the battery)
so you have to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Is this kernel "htc-msm-linux @ 20111001_013904" you are talking about?
I download that form neopeek.com but i don't have a link.
That kernel is 2.1 mb big, I just rename it and replace my ygge-kernel with this, i'm now using it for 15 hours.
I found that charging is working only when you leave phone alone, my battery menagment is working it it is not showing 100% all the time.
I charge my phone over night was shown 41 % on evening and 100 % in morning, now is on 82 %.
I also found that my benchamrk result is slightly less than whit 890 kb kernel (ygge) 560 points copared to 490 points whit this in quadrant standard.
Is there a way for fully market working?
Now I get only few app to be able to download couse others are "uncompatible with device"
huh?!
nah, that's original xdandroid-build. ("glemsom") midnight is based on it.
so you're saying they fixed batt-meter?! Oo this would be the best news ever.
i'm gonna test this right now, we'll have a serious talk if it doesn't work!
and yes, kernel being ~2mb is normal, it consists of zimage and modules.tar.gz. (i'm getting a slight feeling you didn't understand this, and just replaced the modules. "main-part" of kernel is in zImage. but let's see...)
yes i didn't replace zimage file i keep old one... but it is working i just rename the image to original.
here is download link of that file
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page
and here is jerrytan93 talking about new kernal that is the most stable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288765&page=3
post number #29 to #31
well i didn't find zimage of that kernel i'm still new in that
alright, time for serious talk...
of course batt-meter doesn't work. would've been a surprise. by not replacing zImage you kept ygge's kernel, just replacing the modules. (question is if the new modules even got unpacked to system)
thank you, i know where to download glemsom-autobuilds. ^^ but i prefer this link...
so remember, always replace both files! zImage is the more important one.
dunno why you shouldn't find it, it's called zImage_xxx_something_xxx. just rename it to zImage.
problem with most "cooks" here releasing roms is that they never tell which kernel they're uploading with their builds. just useless blabla like "the most stable, the best...!!!"
so here's an easy guideline:
- battery shows correct percentage, charging is buggy, hw-keys stop working -> ygge-kernel (march 2011)
- battery always shows 100% -> xdandroid-build ("glemsom") or a kernel based on it (midnight)
in theory, charging works on glemsom, bug with hw-keys is fixed
the reason why you get higher scores with ygge is because it has gpu overclocked (ygge-turbo < ygge-monster), glemsom doesn't. midnight's kernel has gpu overclocked too, it's faster.
agreeing with you apsolutley 100%
They only upload new build but newer talking about the kernels, few kernels didn't work for me because they are highly overclocked so didn't boot at all, i lost so many time studing for reason but i figured later it is from kernel...
Well keeping than my 11 march kernel 890kb it is working fine but have some bugs that i can handle with...
Thank you about sharing your knowledge and links nobody is talking about kernels and threads and posts are so messy with kernel information...
I have now two androids on 2 separete sd cards on
1. is hendroid here is my comparison with samsung galaxy 3.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU0dM168DDE
2. is sensdroid v5 which is better it looks good and it stable enough for daily use without need for windows mobile.
Did you try arcdroid v2?
On each android build my market is not working as i should, do you know reason for that and is there a fix?
I download stock gapps with everybuild.
good. but listen, you're mixing things up again.
- i wrote gpu-overclock, as in graphics (not cpu). this has nothing to do with what you set in startup (=cpu-speed), gpu-clock is fixed.
- keep zImage as well, it's the most important part! (kernel-files always have 2.x mb in total)
nope, tried almost none of these roms. if i'm not running nand for fun, i'm running neofroyo.
not interested in themed roms which are based on neofroyo anyway. the android-part in my sig is there for a reason.
I am a newer about this, waiting for a stable nand andriod system.

There are so much I can't understand , Admire you so much!
Here is quote from jerrytan93 how to roll back Market to 3.13 version and stop future updates. This is major problem on all android version so i found it to be useful:
"Apps not compatible is because of the lastest version of Market, Market had updated automatically from 3.1.3 (originally in GAPPS package) to 3.1.5 version which was unstable now. I found some a solution for you all:
Use Terminal Emulator (if you don't have it, download in Market),type the following command:
su *PRESS ENTER TO GAIN SUPERUSER PERMISSION*
pm disable com.android.vending.updater *PRESS ENTER AGAIN*
This will disable the Market Updater from updating the Market.
After that, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > 'Uninstall updates' and then 'Clear data'
Your market will roll back to previous version. "
@caliban2 thanks, i messed some things when extracting the glemson kernel, the same problem for me battery is 100 % all the time.
Notify me when there would be best kernel out.
I don't use the market at all....can download apps from many other webs,try to use ucweb.apk which can download from www.uc.cn
haa~~~new nand android can be tested now,for i can't post in XPERIA X1 Android Development,i just say thx to Alex here!!!
