FAQs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11436660&postcount=11 (Thanks Alienz!)
Yes, the kernel is still based on the i9000 JPX source release. Hopefully we get real source soon.
Main Features:
NEAR STOCK BATTERY!!! (Thanks Morfic!)
Overclock up to 1.4Ghz.
BLN (Backlight Notifications).. A basic app is included to turn it on if you want it
Voodoo lagfix v5
Voodoo Sound v4
Many parts of the "speedmod" patch from the i9000 forum
OC is based on raspdep's OC patches, also from the i9000 forum
Various speed tweaks
CIFS/SMB and NFS support compiled in (no modules)
Tunnel support compiled in (no modules)
Changes since 3.2:
New boot logo. (Thanks Alexia!)
Added battery drain fix in standby discovered by Morfic. Should be about the same battery as stock now.
Voltages and frequency scaling have been adjusted to more quickly jump to higher frequencies and come down slower. Improves response time while you use the phone.
The Voltage Control app has the correct voltages, I recommend leaving the lower speeds alone to start with. Going too low can cause the sleep of death. That's why they are as high as they are. NOTE: The voltage control app does not control the available states they way the older ones do. That screen is useless, ignore it. Set your max and scheduler if you wish, and the voltages if you want to change them.
SetCPU.... If you want to use it, you can have it set min/max. If you set profiles, don't set the max under 800. The phone needs 800 to be available. I use a screen off profile at 100-800 just to keep the OC disabled while sleeping. No reason it should need to really crank up the speed if I'm not looking at it. SetCPU is NOT required, I'm offering this as a tip for fans of that application.
The kernel has proven stable for a number of testers so far. If you get crashes, disable any OC/UV settings and try again. I recommend you only change one setting at a time, and NOT set at boot until you have run for a while to ensure you can run stable at that voltage/speed.

Great job testing it out now. Edit: screen is a little dark but the kernel is super smooth

I am considering flashing this new kernel but have a couple of questions I would like to ask first. I am currently on Bionix V 1.21 and love it. Is this kernel compatible with Bionix V 1.21? It appears that this kernel is Voodoo enabled so I presume I would not have to disable voodoo. If I decide to go back to the Kb1 with voodoo enabled which I believe is the stock kernel for Bionix V 1.21 would i just flash the kernel( is is available on TW forum?)or would I have to flash the whole rom again? I would think I would not have to but want to be sure before I leap. I would not like to have to ask for help for problems that could have been avoided by reading and asking questions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Is it ok to not use set cpu? Will this kernel will oc over 1000?

Im not sure if you have to disable voodoo or not .. probably not but don’t take my word for it and no you do not have to flash the whole rom again, just the kernel. Thanks for not clogging up the forums. Lol I know its hard to ask questions in the vibrant forums, (cause you'll get beaten to death with mean comments) but ask them anyway, someone will answer eventually. Ignore the whiny, ungrateful 2 year olds that somehow wandered onto this forum...

It is compatible with Bionix 1.2.1, that's what I developed it on.
If you have the red voodoo recovery, there is no need to disable voodoo for flashing. Generally speaking, kernels can be flashed without disabling voodoo in any case.

This is what iv'e done, I've lowered my Volts on some clocks, 1000 and up, and I was wondering should/can I use setcpu for profiles?

Answers to COMMON questions:
1. Can I flash this over Voodoo or RFS (stock)
You do NOT need to disable Voodoo. Flash right over Voodoo or RFS kernels. Make sure you are not running JFS though. JFS is not supported
2. How is stability? Does it crash? Sleep of death? etc?
Stability on this is AMAZING. It will not crash unless you overclock/undervolt and your settings are unstable. If that is the case, you know its your settings.
3. Do I need SetCPU to overclock?
You do not need to use SetCPU (You can if you want to). Use the Voltage Control App to overclock.
4. How do I overclock? Can I use this without an overclock?
By default, the kernel will boot to 1.0Ghz. To OVERCLOCk to 1.4Ghz (or lower) you need to use the app that this kernel installs during the flash. The app is called "Voltage Controll" and can be found in your app drawer after the flash
5. What is the battery life?
Battery life should be close to stock now. The battery drain issue that was present in the I9000-based kernels earlier has been solved.
6. Does this support BLN (Back-light-notificaations)?
Yes. You need the BLN control app from the market to use it.
7. How do I use Voodoo sound? What is it?
Voodoo sound is a vast improvement to the sound quality of your phone. To use it, download the Voodoo Control app from the Market.
8. What ROMs is this compatible with?
This is compatible with ALL Vibrant Froyo ROMS. This means 2.2 ROMS made for the Vibrant. 2.2.1 is not yet tested but should theoretically work.
I hope this helps.

You can use setcpu for profiles, just keep 800Mhz available. The phone will likely crash if you don't. I set a screen off profile of 100-800 to keep the oc disabled when I don't need it, as 800 is a lower voltage.
Hint with voltages, try to keep 1000 and higher at the SAME voltage. Changing the voltage too often can cause instability as the voltage regulator doesn't adjust as fast as we would like sometimes. OC makes this worse as you need a higher voltage to maintain a stable CPU at the higher frequency. The kernel is set to jump to 1000, then to the max set clock speed. Setting 1000 to the higher voltage gives us some extra time to stabilize the new voltage before the just into the OC speeds.

Thanks for your kind words and the donation. I'm glad you find my work useful.

just flashed this..
and a few questions ive never used OC before..
What does VOODOO Sound really do?
I set my thing on SetCPU as 1.4ghz as max and .1 as low with conservative.
then a profile with screen off and on conservative.
will those save battery?

SetCPU by itself will NOT overclock. You need to use the Voltage app that comes with the kernel. See my above post with the Common questions.

I'd like any of the kernels developers gave me a clue about an issue im having with all custom i9000 based kernels (eugene's and TW's). The problem is with line2 voip app which calls isn't heard in the other end when running these kernels, but in stock/voodoo it works just fine. Please any of you have an idea of what could be going wrong?
thanks.

Okay tested so far, everything is working good (undervolted to about 175 for lower clocks 100-1000 and 75 for higher clocked 1200-1400)
Don't try this, as every phone can't handle some things, i'm just stating.
EDIT: I'm seriously stupid, how do I remove the settings again? I know it's in system/ something
Edit: NEVERMIND fixed

I've never used an OC kernel, was thinking of giving it a try. If I decide its not for me is this like removing a voodoo injected kernel, disable, then flash a diff kernel then delete files?

[Q] galaxy s is slow with every tweaks/lagfixes

I have read many threads and there someone says something about they have got easy 2000-3000 score in quadrant.I have tested everything and i have get max 2300 scores with super optimized kernel and 1400mhz oc with xjpu.Now i tried with darky 9.3 final and newest super optimized kernel and oc i get only 2200 score.
What i have done wrong?Can someone tell all tweaks and lagfixes what do you use for high scores and smooth galaxy =)

I got 69000!!! But but but with my laptop (keep in mind' it's a phone, not a bench toy)

What's the point of getting super duper high quadrant scores if your battery will last but 2 hrs, and you not being able to use your phone as a, well, phone

what u looking for smothness or fast response?i seen app in darkys rom which make yr phone smoth or if u vant fast respond it give you fast
Open the App 'SpareParts'
> Window Animations >> Very Slow
> Transition Animations >> Very Slow
This looks like butter! So smooth
and if you want fast repond then you do fast or something like this you download and try,may be it will solve your problem

Are you interested in running ACTUAL applications, or are you interested in testing quadrant. Because Quadrant is a testing tool, not an indication of real world performance for the apps you run.

No,i want it is fast ,because now some applications can open more than 10sec.And my galaxy s freeze sometimes.And if i install aplications it will lag for 10-20sec.

Ignore Quadrant score it cannot measure the SGS . 1500 is the score on my super smooth non laggy phone .
Wipe phone i would even suggest you go back to stock to clear all the bits left over .
Build your own rom from the rom kitchin and ignore Quadrant and any other benchmarks use the phone .

Benchmarksssssssss!!!

Hi guys!
can you post your SGS configuration and tell us how do you score with Quadrant Benchmark?
mine is that:
SGS i9000m
kernel speedmod 13c - rom ZeroGingerMIUI with no OC Lagfix ---> 1800
kernel speedmod 13c - rom ZeroGingerMIUI with 1.2ghz OC Lagfix---> 2100
kernel super optimized - rom ZeroGingerMIUI with 1.2ghz OC Lagfix--->2350
kernel hacked Supercurio for GingerBread - rom Ultibread v1.4 Lagfix(no system) --->2000
yes, i'm a bench_maniac!

Stock I9000 XXJVK --> ~awesome scoreon my user experience benchmark.

Awesome... no words to describe!

Quadrant doesn't reflect real life performance at all. I used to get 2200+ with a lagfix on 2.1 but it was no where close to the real life performance of what I experience now on 2.3.3 JVK with no lagfix where Quadrant score is just 1020 .

Nice
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

quadrant doesn't reflect the actual user performance/experience because in the past i've had high quadrant scores but poor user experience.
but as the versions change (i.e eclair>froyo>gingerbread) i get lower scores but better user performance.

Agree my user experience benchmark is also off the scale .
Quadrant crap as always .
Why dont you post all these benchmark quadrant posts in the same place if you want to compare size.

Mine is scoring "awesome" too in user experience!

I personally think this thread should be removed I'm afraid.. For starters, there are a billion other quadrant threads, and nobody has F***king bothered, as mentioned to collate the values into a table. Also, nothing is worse than breeding a culture of people who believe that Quadrant accurately measures the mobile performance for all workloads.

I agree with Ausy that this kind of thread is not of much practical use. I run Quadrant weekly, but only to compare my phone to itself as a diagnostic. If the Q score changes radically, I try to find out why. I also use it to compare ROMs.
However, I don't see that the benchmark scores of two different phones will tell you anything of much value when you compare them.

Lowest Quadrant Score ever???? w-t-f ????

JVP based rom - Darky's JVP 10.1 - 2.3.4
Kernel is DarkCore 2.7.3
Tibzed's RAM Hack
Tegrak OVERCLOCKED to 1.3 MHZ
Lagfix (ENABLED) ext 4
Why can I never get over 1000 in Quadrant ?
I know quadrant scores mean nothing -- but seriously I am getting 800-900 consistently and I'm not sure why
Mind you I DO have TONS of apps on my phone (like 200) --- is this an issue ?
Can anyone tell me why people on Froyo are getting higher Quadrants than me ? I even have mine over clocked and I rarely get over 900.

Don't know about the score, but it could be because you are mixing and not matching kernels to ROM-versions? Because as far as I know, Darky v.10.1 is NOT JVP, it's JVH. But DarkCore 2.7.3 is a JVP kernel...

I am on F1 S2 V4 and galaxian kernel. Other users are reporting having 2700+ quadrant score. But I have tested numerous of times, reflash kernel (one using kernel flasher another with odin), both yield 16xx-18xx...
I wonder what's wrong T.T

I'm not sure how did you get so high score with 1.3 MHZ (0.0013 ghz). And for the low score problem uninstall quadrant and forget it. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with quadrant.

I must say my phone has never run as fast or smooth or as good as it is now. I have never had such a good battery either. I took a bath and put my phone on speaker/music for 35 mins -- it went from 90% to 89%
It's never ran so fast, but my quardrant score has never been so low.
So strange.

Since installing the RAM hack not only has my battery life been amazing and phone faster, but my launcher doesn't close as it used to do every 10 secs. Would a RAM hack so small and simple REALLY knock off 2000 on a Quadrant score ? I doubt it.

[REQ] kernel similar to TEUV for nexus s

Is there a kernel that can deliver ridiculous performance but on extremely low voltage like the TEUV kernel for the nexus s?
Underclocked CPU at 800mhz and overclock bus/gpu at 220mhz?

Couldn't you have at least linked us to the kernel in the Nexus forums?

Or asked where you should have?

Bali does lower voltages by default, though on any kernel you can set the underclock and undervolt using SetCPU manually.

in short NO.... BUT, if you venture far enough away from stock Samsung crap and flash pure CM7.1 stable or newer and then flash to Glitch kernel you can get impressive performance on electrical fumes as well as underclock/overclock/undervolt to your hearts content. I'm not familiar with TEUV or the Nexus S, but CM7.1 plus Glitch is as good as its ever going to get on the Vibrant. This is assuming your willing to work on the voltages yourself. Otherwise Bali 2.2.2 will give you the best undervolted performance imo, but its not stable for me... Im currently on CM7.1 #163 using Eugenes Streamline stable kernel and Im thoroughly impressed with the smoothness and stability of my undervolted Vibrant. Today my nephew broke out his new Sensation and showed me quads of 2200, so I broke out my year and a half old Vibrant and showed him 2600-2700 quads, lol it was soooo epic... That's what he gets for not learning how to root and flash roms/kernels... haha
