I know that after XXJPY we don't have no more lag, so the "lagfix" is just a name for this filesystem convertions that we learned to love here.
I stoped using EXT4 convertions since XXJPY because the custom ROMs arround recomends disabling any "lagfix" before a new install or update... but I have a question here.
I'm aways using kernels that support EXT4 filesystems, so why I have to disable the "lagfix" to make any update? If I'm going from a Darky's ROM to a new Darky's ROM version ou changing from hardcore's to supercurio's kernels, when all this systems are suposed to work with EXT filesystems, why I need to disable the "lagfix" before making this changes?
Thanks!
why I need to disable the "lagfix" before making this changes?
Different lagfix etc plus who wants to break the phone instead of disabling a lagfix .
You can always try not disabling lagfix .

At least in the last iterations of Darky, you're not forced to disable the Voodoo lagfix if you had it installed, provided that you installed it with Darky's previous version. Nevertheless, since Kernels are always improving and ROM makers put them in their ROMs, it's always a good security measure to uninstall the lagfix. With devices as expensive as this one, risk-taking must be reduced.
Hmm Ok I will disable.
Thank you guys

hey all member i dont know if there already exists this thread, but what do you think is the best firmware for the galaxy s ?
(ps:sry im new to anroid ^^)
Flash the latest firmware 2.2 - JP6
If I were you, I would directly flash a ROM with integrated lagfix.
There is DocRambone with his ROM,
there is Tayutama,
there are several other ROMs.
Or you try mine, so you don't have to apply different steps to get a fast Galaxy S
thx @ darkyy
yeah the most important thing for me is [....] speed ^^
my sgs is sooo [....] slow xD
is there a difference between
tayutama , docrambone, and yours?
MOD EDIT: Offensive language removed
vanilla rom is nice
Shouldn't this be in Q&A?

Jpm/jp6 firmware.
Then it up to you and your skills.
I would start with z4mod on stock firmware and convert filsystem to ext2 with z4mod.
In the process you learn to flash.and what things are.
You phone will be fast and lagfree.
Then you can look for other kernel that's out here if there things you like.
You can also do what other say here and flash a Rom.
But you will not have the same control over the system.
If you want to change Rom you also need to start all over and install all apps again.
You don't need that with z4mod.
But z4mod and many roms are very good and solve the lag for you.
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
i didnt find a "good rom" either this time so using "stock android lock screen file" and "battery mod version d" and "universal lag fix kernel" (BLN on, ext4 or jfs, some tweaks on)
also using fancy widget and a blackground and launcher pro plus
i'm quite happy with it at the moment - i deleted some samsung apk from /system to make space too, else u can't make the mods
I am new to the android world, and reading about what to do with my shiny new Galaxy.
I read about roms, JPa, JPM, JP6 and so on. What is the difference between all of these roms, and why should one use these, rather than the official Samsung versions?
Next, I read about applying cf-root kernels. What is the benefit of this?
If there is a nice peace of reading on this, I would be greatfull.
Thx.
All Rom tweak the sgs in there own way. Some don't like how sgs is and changed that.
There also custom kernels.
This is often to speed up the sgs.
They can tweak some settings or converting the filesystem to a better one.
I do preferred original firmware with a custom kernel.
I use my own kernel and use ext2 filesystem to make the phone fast.
Sent from GT-I9000 jpo. My own kernel for z4mod and with 342MB Ram
Pretty much as DamianGto said its a personal choice i also go for stock firmware jpa in my case from samfirmware with cf root kernel. Custom kernels do various things from spead tweaks to colour adjustments. I'm running stock jpa with cf root kernel this gives you root with 2e recovery then i just used oclf from the market for the lagfix had this combo for a while and works perfect.
I would stay away from cf-root kernel. Its way to big and a bad way to root.
Oclf was good, but its an old way to lagfix. You should use a kernel isteed. Its smother and all is faster.

Thank you.
I'm not sure what is the firmware and the kernel. And not yet sure what all those different jpm, jpa, jpk, jp6 versions mean and do.
Furthermore:
I have flashed froyo, using odin, with the JPM version.
Now I found out that I have that gps problem too. The default *#*#1472365#*#* option does not work on my sgs. Any sugestion on this?
Ho.
Jpm is not the latest firmware.
In froyo you use this *#3214789650#

hello, i want to flash my sgs to froyo, i am looking in the custom roms do you guys recommend any custom roms or kernels... i dont want to use the stock ones cuz i know there is always something you dont need and you dont use...
Do you think is better to use OCLF or voodoo with ext4?
thanks!
Well its a personal taste what you use.
I only use my own kernel to speed up the system and get more memory. The rest i use mod i se and like. I have not seen any rom that have things s want.
Oclf is old and you should use kernels with lagfix.
Use ext2 if you want a fast filesystem.

Browse around in the android dev subforum, I'm using doc's rom, bunch of other people use darky's.
If you use a custom kernel, those usually have a lagfix inbuilt which you enable in the recovery menu, you don't need to use voodoo or OCLF on top of that. (Custom roms usually have custom kernels)

hey guys,
im using the voodoo kernel at the moment but i want to know whether the speedmod kernel is better.
what's the difference between those two ones? which is more reliable? which is the faster one?and which has a better battery life?
my second question is wheter a lagfix is still needed for the kernel. i heard the lagfix needs more battery.
ty in advice
Its a matter of personal preference.. You should try both kernels and conclude for yourselve..
but can you say something in general? there should be some differences...
ty
i'm using Stock JS3 with voodoo 5.2 and there is zero lag, and battery life is fantastic (after removing most of the samsung bloatware).
I really don't see any need for any of the extra 'fixes' the other kernals add
You can read the differences on both kernel's pages.
Which is better: apples or bananas? It's all based on opinion. Flash one, if you don't like it, flash the other.
I prefer voodoo,
At the moment im using the advanced kernel v666.2, and its bloody awesome.
Supercurio says voodoo doesnt increase battery life, so rock on!
Speedmod, whilst good as never been as smooth for me, even 500hz versions.

I think either kernal is good. Have used both and not much difference between the 2. My personal opinion- speedmod feels a little smoother than voodoo. Was using voodoo for a couple of months but now on speedmod.

One difference is voodoo is compiled by supercurio and the other by hardcore.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
ty guys. i think i will stick to voodoo. actually i have the 5.2 version istalled on my gt-i9000.
but is there a thread in this forum where i can check for the latest voodoo kernel? i didn't find it...
5.2 is the latest version.. You should check project-voodoo.org for updates or folkow his voodoo sound thread
ty a lot. now i'm fine
Seems to me voodoo is bit smoother and speedmod has maybe better battery life.
You should get CWM Recovery and try for yourself since it's so easy to switch, I am on Darky's Ron and currently using Voodoo. But I was on Speedmod before 9.1 and I can't find any difference in their smoothness. The batterylife is more depending on your Rom and settings.
Happy flashing

I switched rom and kernel at the same time. So I can't fairly compare both kernels.
I appreciate Speedmod's kernel because it has tun support for Openvpn.
for me, I use speedmod as it has better battery life
I use SpeedMod, for the performance tweaks. I did briefly use supercurio's kernel, but then switched over to hardcore's, chiefly because of how it was geared at performance and efficiency, or so it said, anyway.
To the extent of my limited knowledge, I can summarise their technical advantages as follows:
Advantages of SpeedMod
Various optional performance boosts - promises battery and speed improvements, but I haven't actually done any tests for proof
Customisable lagfix - can choose from different file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4, ext4nj, rfs, jfs) and where to apply them (data, system, etc)
Advantages of Voodoo
Simplicity - lagfix (and other tweaks) automatically apply on boot, no need to ever go into recovery mode
Both have colour and sound tweaks (SpeedMod uses Voodoo Sound), and generally are very stable. You might also find less of a need to update

You don't say...
I guess voodoo is much better. I haveused both of them but speedmod has a lot of problem like screen brightness which will never be fixed! althou hardcore claims to have done so. about the battery consumption you can not say which of them is better cuz it depends on your rom. on Darky voodoo saves more and speedmod drains ur battery. that is why Darky switched to voodoo in his latest roms and if you install darky rom configurator you will see that voodoo is recommended.
I prefer the speedmod kernel because you have the choice in regards to optimizations and lagfixes. The latest kernel (k12u) really speeds up my gps fixes!!!
Stock XXPY + JPA WiFi driver, rooted, speedmod k12u 500hz
Speemod kernels are being updated almost daily,so the easiest way is to get used to using cwm recovery!
Hi
I have darkys extreme 9.2 rom running fine, i have just seen the docs rom kitchen and put togeather a rom i would like to try, my question is can i move from darkys 9.2 to a docs cooked quite easily
do i need to beaware of anything when moving from darkys to docs
gazmon
I did that last week and I haven't had any problems so far...
Though... you should probably install the wipe version (and be sure to do a wipe from clockwork)
Disable any lagfixes.
How do I disable a lagfix in darkys 9.2 I.thought it was automatically enabled??
Actually, lagfix in NOT activated by default, on any of Darky's Rom versions. IF you have installed any, manually, then it's quite a good idea to remove it (restore your fs to rfs, in other words) before going for another ROM. If you are on either Speedmod's or Voodoo kernel, then you can disable it through recovery.
FYI: I did the exact same and have much better battery life now
(doc wipe and latest speedmod)

Best if you wipe all traces of previous rom .

Sorry that this is out of place, but I can;t post to the Dev thread as of yet.
I am currently using Super-Optimized Kernel v4.7.8 with stock Froyo and have been very happy with it's performance and battery life. I currently have a lagfix installed (data on Ext2 and System on Ext4). I know it is best policy to remove lag fixes before flashing new kernel or Mods, but do I need to remove the lagfix before updating the kernel to a newer version of the same kernel (4.8.0), or can I leave the lagfix in place. No big deal to remove the lagfix, but if I can save the time I will.
Thanks in advance, and thanks to all modders, posters and Android savants for all you do for the community.

Usually when upgrading to the same kernel (newer version) the support of the lagfix/fs change is still there the same way it was before. So no need to disable anything. (not if the dev specifically says so)
