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.

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!

OK i'm currently using Darkys v8 custom ROM which comes with Advanced voodoo kernel. And I haven't enabled any lag fixes. Was think of installing Speed Mode kernel. Just wanted know what is your experience between these two kernels.
1. Which kernel have more battery life without any lag fixes and tweaks ?
2. Which one of these is best to improve speed ?
Thanks.
i would not personley now i have stock frimware rooted a couple of times then accidentley semi bricked phone while applying the voodo lagfix now waiting for cyanogenmod stable for galaxy s but i think personley doc rom is the best

Thanks for the reply.. Question isn't about custom ROMs it's about kernels..
I'm using hardcores speed kernel 500Mhz which is quite fast and before I used voodoo which was also quite fast. Any you choose will be good as long is newer and stable version

I personally have use both Voodoo and Hardcores and i do see Voodoo draining battery life much faster,
Havnt tried the new voodoo though ,plan to do it tonight will let you know after.
Also voodoo plays traunt with the battery so i suggest flashing at 100% batter and wiping bat stats and then see the drain.
Hello all,
I'm currently running perception 10 and I'm wondering if the included kernel (Firebird) offer better battery performance compare to speedmod (hardcore)
I tought that speedmod was offering better battery performance... but i seem to get better with firebird!
What's your opinion?

Speedmod would offer better battery becoz of all the battery tweaks in CWM recovery. And many ppl have found it to be better. But whatever Kernel you use, make sure to Recalibrate and wipe battery stats for the best battery life
Thanks man,
I wasn't sure if recalibrating was required after a Kernel Flash... But I was doubting about it, as my battery meter was acting weird today. (went from 75% to 47% in 1 hour... without using the phone lol!)
I've found that Speedmod gives me the best battery life out of any kernel I've flashed (after enabling the tweaks in CWM).
+1 for speedmod

hello -
i'm considering flashing my captivate and i'm trying to learn as much as possible before doing so.
The one thing I'm confused about, do I update the kernel before I flash the ROM or afterwards? I would like to get the speedmod kernel, but just not sure which ROM to use just yet. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks.

When u flash a ROM it comes with a kernel too. So first load the ROM of ur choice, and then flash the kernel of ur choice.
1. ROM first
2. boot up the phone
3. Kernel next
4. boot up the phone
5. now do all ur stuff
Do NOT flash a new kernel without booting up ur phone atleast once after flashing any ROM.
Is there a thread or site where all the different kernels are compared?
Thanks
Why don't you start one?
There are a few:
1. Hardcore's Speedmod kernel
2. Supercurio's Voodoo kernel
3. Lastufo's Super Optimized kernel (based on Speedmod)
4. Trasig's kernel (based on Voodoo)
5. DamienGto's Steam kernel (based on sztupy's original Steam module)
6. Tegrak's kernel (onenand mode)
7. Zenkin's YA-OK kernel (based on raspdeep's oc kernel) this should be discontinued already.
There you have it.

wrong. i don't use Sztupy kernel as base. i use Sztupy steam module in the recovery.
the kernel is all modified by me.
**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. Ext2 on all partitions. js3 base**
Hm, it would also be great to have links to all of those kernels, their details and source code... Eg.:
SpeedMod - details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756, kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=511980&d=1297145484, cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=511983&d=1297145637, source http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=512228&d=1297167793
Voodoo - http://project-voodoo.org/
...
I've used Hardcore's, Supercurio's, and Trasig's. Right now, I'm using Voodoo 5.4.1.
In my opinion each of the three (EXT4 lagfix applied) have their own benefits.
Speedmod is the best on battery but the worst of the three for speed. It's still fast, don't get me wrong, but the real benefit lies in the speed to battery-usage. Keep in mind, Hardcore's update schedule, it's; test, stable, test, stable, etc.
Advanced Voodoo is the fastest due to the overclocking ability. Truth be told, I didn't have this kernel on long enough to really test battery life (went to Darky's 9.2 and I read that some people were having issues pairing these two). I did, however, have a bit of fun with benchmarks when on stock JS3 and the word "niiiiiice" just seemed to pop out here and there. This one isn't updated as fast as the other two.
Voodoo, I find to be a good, stable, and decently fast kernel. It's between the two in terms of speed and has been a kernel that I have used and trusted for quite some time with my SGS. Supercurio has, as of late been putting out a lot of updates though, primarily for Voodoo sound. If you have the time to flash a new update at least once a week, you're good to go.
Hope I helped you guys out.
I use Speedmod K13A with JS2, and I am really pleased of itt...it only scores 980 in quadrant, but it is very smooth and fast and has a good battery life
i use speed mode always

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John
install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button
Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing
Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.
Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.
+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.
Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!
try miui mintberry
My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

Hey!

you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.

Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

Wrong thread. Also there is tonnes of information a single google search away on how to root your phone. One way is to download Odin and then flash a rooted kernal such as CF-Root onto the phone from Download mode.
from what i hear, speedmod is the best kernel when it comes to battery life.
i was thinking of using lanight rom for captivate but it has devil kernel. can i flash speedmod kernel to it? which is better considering that i give most priority to battery life.
also, what are the advantages of different kernels?

LANIGHT is not a Froyo ROM (2.2), therefor it won't work with speedmod.
When choosing your kernel, make sure you they support the same firmware.
To know more about each kernels, read their OP and changelogs.
