Your experience with Superoptimized Kernel - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
I'm running on my GT-I9000 the speedmod kernel K13A with lagfix enabled. Therefore my GS doesn't work so fast. Then I read about superoptimized kernel which promises huge performance.
My question is: If you tried it what do you think? Is it better than Speedmod or Voodoo Kernel?
And what about Speedmod Kernel BIGMEM?
Thank You very much in advance!

I tried speedmod, super optimized and voodoo kernel.
I love the darker brightness level of speedmod as it saves a lot of battery.
VSF in super optimized kernel is a good idea, but it switches all the time, what made me nervous.
voodoo is ok but does not have the darker brightness level.
So i am now on speedmod kernel as the best "allrounder" stable fast enough and good battery life

Which kernel is better: speedmod or voodoo?

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...

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!

[Q] Different kernels compared

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.:

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

You need to explain "best kernel". Regarding stability? Speed? Security? Features?
There is no kernel to which you can say "best kernel". Every kernel has it's positive sides and negative sides.
For example: A kernel is fast and has a good stability but the battery lifetime isn't so good. Another kerenl isn't fast and not hast not so a good stability but there is a good battery liftime.
You have to test which kernel is the best for YOU!
i think you need to try a FUGU mod kernel, it have Voodoo Sound etc. Speedmod dont have it

Recommended kernel for XXJVO

Hi Im looking for a kernel recommendation for XXJVO on galaxy. I cant decide between CF-Root and voodoo kernels. Other suggestions would be welcomed as well.
Thanks!
CF-Root kernel is more close to stock kernel....
Regards
Thanks! Already installed CF-Root and happy so far!
... also you can try Voodoo JVO kernel
Ultra fast (even without lagfix) and extra stable
I can truly recommend this 1
I liked the Dark-Core Kernels before i switched to CM7
CF-root forever
CF-Root kernel is ok
Dark Core or CF, can't go wrong
Fugumod bleeding edge ultra all on ext4 and flying

[Q] enlighten me about kernels

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.
