[Q] What is the best Kernel for battery life vs Speed

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.

Speedmod and Voodoo (Darkys)

Hey i guys I have a serious question hoping yall can help.
I am currently run Darkys v8 with the Voodoo 5 lag fix enabled.
Recently if your a Darkys fan as my self and I love v8 but when v8.1 becomes stable for the Captivate it will contain the new Speedmod Kernel.
I read both on Darkys forum that it is unnescessary to disable the voodoo lag fix when flash over the new 8.1.
As well as on the Speedmod FAQ they state that Speedmod and Voodoo are using the same filing system therefore you dont need to disable the lag fix.
Im just asking you guys if you could give me your experiences and if its really neccessary to disable lag fix then flash the new version of Darkys. (i.e. Voodoo Lag Fix 5.0 --->Speedmod Kernel)
Final note if something were to go wrong lets say with 8.1 because I did not disable the lag fix. This isnt anything a nandroid backup couldnt restore?
Thanks for any help in advance

Im using serindipity, but it had voodoo as well and I flashed speedmod over it just fine. A nandroid backup wouldn't fix it if it broke though, nandroid only does files, and the formatting is what's changing.

Ya I just figured that out.
But to be on the safe side I just disabled Voodoo.
Backed up kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher
Flashed Speedmod for the battery life and performance.
And also so when the v8.1 does go stable for the Captivate Im not going thru any troubles with changing kernels or lag fixes as 8.1 will have the same exact kernel and lag fix.
So if I were to ever have problems with kernels Id just restore my back ups I have it figured out now.
Thanks anyways

I'm using Perception 10.1 and I flashed SpeedMod straight over Voodoo5 without any issues, but like others have said, disabling it would be the safest bet.

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...
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!

[Q] custom rom for games help !!!

hi guys i'm on 2.3.4 JVQ dedoexed custome from darky's webstie
i tried order and choas(it lags and glitch) and nova2 hd ( little lag ) alshpalt 6 (lags alot ) all the samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 user i asked they told me (nova2 and order and chaos works smooth with no lags )
i really like the rom its fast but it just seems not good for games
so guys i really want to play order and chaos with out lags
what is the best rom for games (for samsung galaxy s gt-i9000) ?
and also i dont want to overclock i want to stay on 1gh i dont like oc at all
so what is the best rom for games ??
waiting for ur replays
thanks in advance

The most games shouldn't lag even with 800MHz. Have you already tried a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache (all three things via CWM)?

dont worrie man

Hi did you guys find the solution already ? i also flashed darky's rom but i can play order and chaos from ver 10.1 not smooth but playable. then i flash H&F rom the game is smooth but theres a lot of time memorys being drained even if i use advance task manager if i click kill still the memory stays the same the only way to run the game is to reboot the phone. now im back on darky's 10.2 and flashed darkcore 2.9.3 jvq i think the game becomes very laggy and unplayable. ano one got solution or any other roms they might recommend thats fast like darky's btw did the wipe delvik, cache, even try reformatting the SD

i found the solution just flash the 10.2 RE darky edition and flash kernel 2.9.3 dark core everything smooth now = )

How can i speed up my galaxy s GT-i9000

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

small tip

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!

MIUI mint berry and via rom toolbox clocked into 1,3ghz

I´m on JVZ with Semaphore 2.1.1 and overclocked CPU (1300 mhz). This motor is fast, stable and smooth.

Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
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.
