Congrats for a great forum!!
I'm here because i have a question about voodoo lag fix:
1. Voodoo Lag Fix will be work if i have not flashed ROM?
my software revision is I9000TUMJH4/I9000TTCEJH6/I9000TUMJG1/I9000TUMJH4
Version of Android: Eclair 2.1 update 1
I tried before with One Click Lag Fix, but after install EXT2 Tools after Boot Animation only get a black screen, i use recovery mode to apply factory reset and I'm worried this happen again with voodoo lag.
Well you should upgrade to froyo instead. The latest is fast and work well.
Then you have many option to get it faster.
**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 349MB Ram. 256HZ. ext2. js3 base**
Ok thanks for the advice i'll find the way to upgrade cause here in Mexico we don't have the official upgrade yet

Hi,
Can I flash a froyo kernel to an eclair rom and vice-versa?
Will I loose/get fonctionalities?
What I want to do:
flash a 2.6.29 kernel(eclair) to a JPK rom to run voodoo on JPK (I will propably loose some fonctionality since its an *old* kernel)
flash a 2.6.32.9 rev6 (asian froyo dxJP1 kernel) to a JPK rom (to get better battery life and smoother flash since I tried JP1 for a week and it was stable and fast)
flash a voodoo modified kernel to any 2.2 rom to see what happens (but I am a little afraid to flash an oc/uv kernel to a rom not designed for it since it could maybe, under some circumstance damage the phone...)
Any ideas or tests already run?
I am gonna try the JP1 kernel on then JPK rom tomorrow to see if it works and if I got improvements from the JP1...

And you will get a nice paperweight instead of your phone.
Pretty sure that won't work but if you have 3 button rec you should be fine.

I got the 3 button combo (thanks to richthofen and dadonali and others) so if the kernel is not supported I can flash back my original kernel?

Your Phone wont boot, but try it.
2.1 and 2.2 are different worlds.
franklin01, this thread belongs in the Q&A section, not in development. Take a moment and read the "STOP!! Before you post, read this NOW!!" thread at the top of both of these sections, it has clear guidelines for proper thread placement.
Hey all i wanted to kno what to install to have a smooth, stable & fast phone cause atm im running the Froyo rom from samsung but the phone feels laggy.
Any suggestions?
Links would be usefull
Thx in advance

try Voodoo, seeems to be pretty stable http://project-voodoo.org/
My two cent:
Froyo "from samsung" is a pre-release beta, if you want a stable version, install the official rom for your device (the one available trough kies) and wait for the REAL froyo release.
Don't think they change.much.
The main reason what for some icon did disappear or did not installed when upgrade.
The best lagfix i know right now its z4mod.
Its fast and lagfree.
I also have super optimized kernel.
But you need to know how to flash with odin.

With froyo being out I'm tempted to flash my JM8 device to the new froyo... However I'm wondering if froyo is actually faster, more stable and has an improved GPS.
Should I flash to JM9 or to froyo?
Other than that, which lag fixes should I use and tweakers?
there's so many roms out that I've lost overview and don't really know what's the best and most stable.
Please post questions in the Q&A forum.
well I'm using doc v7 rom with no rfs advanced ext4 lagfix. I m having litraly no lag... Evrythin's working super smooth. I'm using adw instead of touchwiz

I'm not just talking about fast, but also wonder which one works best in terms of features such as GPS
Only way to know for sure is to test it yourself, I find JPM to be ok but I'm also using one of them optimized 341meg roms as stock froyo only lets you see a max of 300megs. Also there seems to be a few more stupid startup processes running which you can turn off with startup manager (from market). The thing is that its this new kernel i'm using that gives all the speed.
i found JPA is faster than JPO. I have tested on 2 diffrent phone.
JM9 is probably the best Eclair ROM. And with FroYo just being officially released the latest ROM is JPO.
It's really up to you what to do at the end of the day.
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.

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)

So which one is the latest (stable) version?
so you reckon darkys is one of the best custom roms to get? is it stable?

Jpo. Jpp. Jpa. But all is based on Jpm.

My stock Captivate with 2.1 was frustrating to use with it's lag. I rooted and applied One Click Lag Fix which really improved the performance.
I'm planning to remove the One Click Lag Fix and unroot the phone before applying the 2.2 upgrade.
Two questions...
1) Will I need the One Click Lag Fix after the 2.2 upgrade (or have they fixed the way memory was configured)?
2) Would a factory reset (before or after) make the upgrade smoother or more predictable?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Should not be using one click lag fix.
2.2 still uses rfs, I would suggest looking into voodoo kernel if you find 2.2 to be laggy
