Eclair with lagfix faster than Froyo with lagfix

I have just flashed a lag fix onto my phone, and tested it using Quadrant, only to find that it's around over 800 less than what I was getting before.
I had Eclair on my phone, with a lagfix, and qudrant gave me well over 2000 for a score, now with Froyo and a lagfix, I only get 1200..
How could there be such a big difference? I used SpeedMod Froyo for the lagfix on the Froyo version, but I don't know what the name was for the Eclair version..
Is this common? That froyo would be slower than eclair with a lagfix?

SpeedMod is the kernel, not lagfix (if i'm not mistaken).
Lagfix refers to universal lagfix by sztupy or voodoo by supercurio.
I might be wrong

Oh right.. Am I able to install a lag fix as well then?? There is talk about lag fixing in the SpeedMod thread, so that's why I assumed it was a lag fixer..

yes you can, For supercurio's Voodoo,
http://project-voodoo.org/
For Sztupy's Universal Lagfix, you need to refer to the post in xda. Mine comes with Doc's custom rom.

Oh wow, so if I'm getting 1200 without a lag fix, then it should go pretty damn nice when I do apply one. However there were options for a lag fix in the boot menu, and I have applied those already...

You need to activate the lagfix in SpeedMod kernel. Reboot to recovery, go to lagfix option (or something similar) and choose your lagfix schemes. I recommend the "No-RFS EXT4". Try not to use JFS lagfix since it is known to be quite unstable.
After enabling it, reboot your phone, it will then prompt you with multiple backup options.
I recommend you doing a "backup and restore" if you have important apps in your phone.

I did already go through the boot menu, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was choosing. I can't remember the exact one I went for though, but it did have something like ext in the name.
So that would mean this is as fast as my phone will get?

Yes, it would mean that your phone would be more responsive at the expense of battery life.
However, some lagfix options are rather unstable and could lead to crashes/force closes...
So I'd recommend you using the "No-RFS Ext4"

Thanks for the youtube video, confirms what I did what the right way lol.
But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with how fast my phone is with the lagfix...
Although it is better than stock, so I guess I can't complain too much.

[Q] Can't disable lagfix?

Hello,
Today I decided to flash my rom and I have just chosen the new Cognition 4 to go with. My Captivate has the default 2.1 firmware, and the only thing I did was rooting and installing a lagfix. The problem is that I can't remember which lagfix it was and no matter what I try, I can't disable it.
It's probably not Voodoo since I there is no Voodoo folder (and creating one and putting the disable-lagfix folder in it does nothing) on my internal sd, and there's no app to allow me enable/disable it. The only thing that makes me sure I still have is the high Quadrant score I keep getting.
Can you guys help me out on this?
Under settings, my kernel version is:
2.6.29
jetaek.lee (at) sep-11 #2
Sorry if this is a silly or dumb question. But I have been trying for a couple hours.
Thanks a lot.

The only way you are gonna be sure to remove it is by doing a master clear, and yes it will delete all data.

zelendel, thanks. But I can still use Titanium Backup to backup my apps, right?

Yes you can use it to back up user apps and data. Just dont back up system data as when it is restored system data tends to cause issues

You can also flash back to stock with Odin (with a master clear after of course just for good measure). That will remove your lagfix too. Just be sure to save your titanium backup file to your EXTERNAL Sd before doing the master clear, or you will loose all your backups you just created.

Thanks a lot everyone. I did a master clear (didn't install odin, though, since I was already on 2.1 stock) and everything went great.
I'm kinda disappointed with the Cognition 4, though. The phone is only slightly faster and smoother, even my Quadrant score is lower (by about 600 points) than it used to be on Eclair. But hey, at least it's froyo.
With the official 2.2 out, should I bother updating or am I better with Cognition 4?

NC w/ customized froyo won't boot

Hi folks.
I installed customized nookie froyo five days ago. I also overclocked the CPU, using the "set at boot" option.
I placed the nook on the charger last night, and later noticed it had rebooted, or at least was trying to reboot...
The "nookie froyo" animation during the boot process simply freezes, then tries to restart again, freezes, ad infinitum.
Don't know if it has anything to do w/ the overclocked kernel or not. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to fix it without re-installing?
Thanks!

I actually had the same thing happen to me (OC-ed, endless reboot), I ended up having to restore to stock. I wasn't entirely sure if it was because of the OC-ing, but since you're in a similar situation, it can't be coincidental.

Did you actually need to restore to stock, or could I just install a different image?
Anybody want to chime in on the current state of the non-stock options? Are CM7 or honeycomb looking pretty stable, or should I stick w/ froyo?
Thanks.

How did you overclock? Via a kernal flash or via setcpu (the app)?
Depending on which you used will determine your next step.
If it simple was a kernal, simply use cwm and flash a new kernal.
Thing i have found to help me the past week has been my rom backups from rom manager.
I have been able to recover from 3 'bad' installs and return to my custom froyo 0.6.8 each time so far.
I use the 0.6.8 on sd to get to rommanager when i have overflashed my emmc.

I had used setcpu.
I reinstalled, using ultimate droid 3.1.2.

Good to hear you are back up and running then.
Question: How far did you push your Nook?
I am using the Setcpu with mine and have it set at 1000 as the max.

I recently tried HC (Deeperblue version, not the new customized version). It's really interesting, but definitely still a work in progress. I'm currently using Phiremod 5.0, and it's fantastic. 5.1 was released last night, but I haven't had a chance to update.

Overclocking CM7

OK. So I am sure I am missing something obvious here. I've done a ton of searching and reading, but I'm still at a bit of a loss.
I am running CM7 with dalingrin's OC kernel flashed over the top of it. I see tons of people overclocking to 1.0 and 1.1 GHz, yet I can't seem to options for doing so.
In CM7 settings under performance, I have options for 100-950. I can O/C to 950 and that's great, but how do people try settings above that? I tried setCPU, but it seems to cap out at 950 as well.
What am I missing?

You need to get a different kernel, such as Dalingrin's, from the android development forum.

Hi,
Looks like you didn't successfully install the overclock kernel, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
for instructions.
I have been using the CWM install method and am running CWM7 RC4 with
the interactive governor between 300 and 1100MHz.
I usually install the updated CM7 along followed by GAPPS then the
latest OC kernel. Perhaps you installed the kernel before CM7? CM7
comes with its own kernel that overwrites existing kernel when you install CM7.
Hope this helps,
Peter

That is odd. I have never had any issue like that with any of the oc kernels.
My one and only question is if you a sure you flashed the right one successfully?
http://nook.handhelds.ru/dalingrin/kernels/033111/
Note that there are 2 kernels for each ROM-
one is for internally installed (emmc)
One is for sd card installations (sd)
I do not know if any errors would show up if you flashed the wrong one or if there was an error with the download.
My suggestion would be to try again and see if it works.
My response may be too basic- I don't know your knowledge level.
One thing though- IN CM7 it is best to NOT use SetCPU or other apps to change cpu speed, or at least that used to be the case. I don't use them anymore.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I was using the SD version, as I had a bootable CWM SD that I used to get into recovery. Once I loaded the emmc onto the SD card and flashed that, they showed up.
Thanks for all of the replies.

Nice!
Glad I was able to help-
Usually I am just getting all kinds of info and help for my own stuff here. Being able to pay that back is a good thing.

Be sure not to flash a cm7 nightly after you flash the kernel. If you do, you will flash there stock cnn kernel over the oc'Ed kernel

Actually a good point-
Nothing wrong with updating to the latest nightly but you WILL go back to having the stock CM7 kernel again.
Re-flashing the oc kernel fixes that problem, of course, but you'll need to reset max cpu speed and governor again.

[Q] Installed CM7, Now Milestone Overclock Won't Load.....

I have a Milestone, rooted with Universal Androot, and then I switched over to CM7 last night. Now, I can't get the overclock apps to work. I have tried Milestone Overclock, and it says "Failed to load module". I also tried Android Overclock and it won't overclock either? Suggestions?
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling apps, tried rerooting with Z4Root, and a few other things.
I remember having this issue once about 6 months ago, when I switched to a new ROM, and it turned out to be my root didn't unlock Nand. But now I can't find a simple method for Nand Unlock on a rooted phone.

Me too
but i use Motomizer , It work for me =)

I thought CM7 already came overclocked? You can even change all the settings (min/max/governor) from the performance/processor menu...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

try overclocking via OR. however - as it was said - CM7 is already rooted and overclocked so do you want an extreme overclock or underclock?

I've had the most stability from the overclock kernels in ROM manager, but SetCPU has always worked, too. At least, when I turn up the clock speed, the phone gets hotter (my bottleneck is usually the RAM it seems). It's worth the money to just buy.

I recently update to CM7 from stock 2.2 and noticed that as well.
I suggest removal of Milestone Overclock, SetCPU in favor of CM7 included overclock as I noticed same performance gain and longer battery duration.

CM7 Already have overclock, you can configure it on Settings>CM Settings>Performance>CPU Settings...

that's what I was looking for....... apps only add to the bulk of your system... this CM7 is damn near perfect... thx.

All ROMs build from CM7 source from Kabaldan have an overclock dude just look around in the setting man if you want to overclok to 1200 MHz you need to edit 10overclock in system>etc>init.d (with root explorer, yes manually) because CM7 is overclocked to max 1 GHz

Hi! You mean you were able to overclock your phone with MOTOMIZER? can you give me the steps? i cant seem to make it work. Thanks!

If you are using any of kabaldan's CM, there is no need to you any app for overclocking.
There is a script in the /system/etc/init.d/ folder called 10overclock .
You can edit the frequencies and the voltages too.
Edit it only with linux tools or on your phone with a file manager. (Windows handles the end-of-line differently)
