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.
I have asked this before but i didn't get any answer so i ask again!
When i play games who need a high end device such as a SGS it lags. The games i played and notice this problem is Shadow guardin(Gameloft), Fast five the game(Gameloft) Dungeon defender first wave and some other games such as Angry birds rio!
So my question is! Is it my phone that's broken or something like that or is it the games thats laggy overall?
My device: SGS Speed modkernal with lagfix.
Anyone????

Is that what you want?
One of the first places to start would probably be to update your Speedmod kernal.
K13E is the most current version.

To be on the safe side, you should disable the lag-fix prior to flashing.
After the flash, clear your dalvik cache, and wipe the cache partition. Might as well clear your battery stats while you're there too.

Can i just clear the dalvik cache and wipe the cache partition without disable the lag fix and uppdating the speedmod kernal?
It's up to you man, it's your phone.
I'm only telling you what I would do.
You shouldn't have a problem, being that you are flashing another speedmod kernal. But you never know.
Clear dalvic after the flash as well.

And if its still laggy What should i do next?
If i change launcher does it affect performance?

Maybe there is a technical issue? But when i run the bechmark test i get pretty high score overall.
Perhaps you could try to move to a gingerbread rom.
I'm using Juwe's rom 4.2, Quadrant went from 900 on Froyo to 1500+ on GB.
I don't own those games though so I can't tell if GB helps them a lot.
Alright tanks! Now i got a lot off different options.

Was on JPY and voodoo 5.5.3 kernel and everything ran smooth, upgraded to JVB and this http://dl.project-voodoo.org/Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar and though it's still very smooth, Quadrant Advanced 1.1.6 doesn't display it's graphics properly in some sections of the test (Quadrant Standard 1.1.7 has fixed this), and Gameloft's NOVA is now unplayable with just white screens. Gameloft haven't been able to resolve the issue either.
Quadrant scores mean nothing in the real world, if gaming on your phone is a big thing to you then I'd stick with JPY and the latest voodoo kernel.
Hope this helps
I had CM7-1.0 before with pawitp kernel.
Today, I flashed the latest CM9 nightly and right now am on the stock kernel.
I have the following kernels with me at the moment:
—Semaphore ICS Kernel from here
—Devil3 from here
My questions:
Which one of these Kernel will give me the best battery life and is fast at the same time?
Will I get a bootloop if I flash either of these kernels over the stock kernel which comes with the CM9 nightly?
There are both BLN and CMC kernels on this page. Which one should I be using?

1. Try it yourself, flashing kernel is about 1 minute. Both kernels are great.
2. Try it yourself, bootloop isn't yet diagnosed. Sometimes it happens sometimes not.
3. there are only 2 versions: cmc (cm colours) and vc (voodoo colours).
Also before flashing wipe cache/dalvik and clear init.d and ns tools

Hi, before you flashing a new kernel, flash first the kernel cleaning script from lipol. then you have no problems with the new kernel.
And what you think about midnight Kernel? I use this Kernel and i'm very happy with them. You have with that kernel a very good Battery life. :thumbup:

Used to always use kernel cleaning script lately Kernel cleaning script gives me boot loop nearly everytime.
Wipe cache, wipe dalvick, clear ns tools and clear init.d is fine.
Of the kernels you have mentioned i have found semaphore to have better battery and to be more stable unless you want to over clock. Or that is my experience anyway.

After using stock cm 9 kernel for quite a while I was curious to try out semaphore and regretted it only hours afterwards...
With Antutu Benchmark App I got 400 Points less compared to stock kernel... after some hours my phone hang up (black screen, ne wake up). Some hours later the next black screen... Finally I got back to stock kernel and I am happy again
Its very fluid and responsive, in my opinion there is really no need für a custom kernel in CM9, only if you need USB Host support and the ability to overclock...
I'm using devil3 kernel and I love it, it's just awesome. I think it's more customizable than semaphore, but a bit harder to set. Anyway, you should test by yourself both of them, remember to flash lippol's kernel cleaner before flashing a new kernel

Devil kernel is the best for me. I love all the options and speed. I over clock to 1.4GHz, use lulzactive governor with smooth UI profile and everything is tuned for performance and I still get almost 2 days on battery. Using cm9

I would suggest devil kernel, it has a very good battery live, some great features like swap or zram
And BTW: Just flash your kernels over each other, no use to flash kernel cleaning script neither wipe dalvik cache. it has nothing to do with kernels ;-)

Devil3 for me too. As well as being fast and having decent battery life, it's the only kernel that had voodoo color. Once you've found the best settings for your screen there's no going back.

Devil3 for me too. It works like a charm. :good:
I'm running CM9 stable with Semaphore 1.3 on 1.2GHz and smartassV2 governor.
Never had any problems with semaphore so i keep using it. my battery lasts for 1 day while running games for several hours, and up to 4 days, if i barely use it.
i know many people don't like benchmarks, but i thought i'd attach my quadrant-score anyways.

When I pinch in on the home screen to see screen previews of all my screens, the Apex launcher lags so bad it makes me cringe. I've even selected to keep Apex in memory, but that doesn't help with the extremely laggy screen preview. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

1.Had you try to enable force GPU rendering in developer option at system setting sir? and reduced the Window animation scale and Transition animation scale to 0.5 ? maybe you can try and see the different
2.Had you try it on other launcher and same result?
im on Criskelo v11.2 too did try apex and have same problem,you can try nova launcher everything good :victory:
Flash a aokp based rom and problemo solved!
interesting, didnt know that returned. It use to be an issue on earlier roms of ics.
You can try deleting data of Apex launcher, uninstall then reinstall freshly. That might solve it.
Yoi can try jbroid in recovery to clean maybe kernel issues and flash speedmod back afterwords. That way any kernel issues should be resolved.
Lastly, dependant upon your install patch of the ics rom it may be last option. Ultra clean instal: on speedmod kernel in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, then in advanced dalvik cache. Then format system, data,(never efs and beware of idiotic mapping of sd card sometimes to external card,sometimes emmc to, best to take external card out).Note device now will not boot, all data and lingering files from previously installed roms are lost, thus no crap can hinderer normal operation from rom to be installed. Then head into download mode and reinstal rom through pc odin. Then install speedmod(note binary counter, annoyingly will increase giving exclamation mark) throught pc odin. Remedy anoying exclamation mark with chainfire tool, forgot name.
This way you, as a last resort you will have optimal situation for rom, but will have lost all data and installed applications.
You see most roms are nonwipe, thus files that can hinder operations are still there when updating ota/kies or by flashing non wipe rom throught pc odin. This causes almost all unexplained battery drains, weird foreclosures, etc that some experience and some not.
note advice is based on tips from other users and experience, all at own risk
also, never wipe and perform these steps on stock kernel, or stock kernel recovery, but always from safe kernel, or safe kernel booted recovery, like speedmod

To all the above posters:
I'll try what zentord suggested. I don't plan on using any other ROM our launcher, of course, as I have settled on what I want.
AOSP and AOKP ROMs are not suitable for a device like the Note because they don't support the S Note and Memo.
Wiping everything for the animation to work properly is not worth it.

Have you eventually resolved this issue without wiping?
I came across this too in S2 with Apex 1.2.5 (pro) on XWLPT and XWLPU stock based ROM.
Would be interested in how you resolved this. If I revert Apex back to version 1.1.0, the animation works perfectly.
There is even an option to change preview animation under Home Screen Settings with version 1.1.0.
However, as soon as play store upgrade it to 1.2.5, that 'preview animation' option disappear and preview animation becomes really chunky.
Revert back to 1.1.0 and it's fine again.
I will try asking the developer to see if this is a known issue, quoting this thread.
It's the icon labels. They eat a lot of performance on both apex and Nova. In Nova launcher it makes my home screen transitions laggy and in apex the overview. I don't use the overview often so I chose apex. If you disable the icon labels everything is butter but that is not something everyone likes.
I hope they fix these issues in the future!

Good day everyone. I just want to ask you guys, especially those who are using stock roms, which do you prefer, stock ics or stock gb? I'm coming from PA by Utacka and I pretty much used custom roms from the start so i never actually used stock.
Please provide a reason as to why. I just want to have a stable rom while waiting for the official jelly bean update.
Thank you everyone.

there is no as such reasons to be on a particular ROM.. its each and everyones taste that keep them stuck to a particular rom,
as far as stock is concerned stock ICS rooted with a hydracore kernel works best for me
I would compare GB to windows XP. Sure it was good back in the day, but it's had it's run now and time to stay current. ICS has been released for a good while now and should have had all the bugs ironed out. Little things like the improved task switching (previews over icons), and swipe to dismiss notifications, while small differences make for a better experience over all.
A better kernal like hydracore to improve battery life and a stock ICS (or maybe back to rocketrom) would be what i would go back to if i was so inclined (i'm on utacka's PA at the moment too)

Thank you for the answer. My only intention is to have a pretty reliable phone so I can use my phone when it really counts. I hate that when I have to do something really important, I will encounter freezes or out of memory error that prevents me to actually multitask.
I haven't tried rocketrom but I am willing to try that. My only fear is if it will lag after few days of use. My boss' phone which is sgs2 would go for days or months without a reboot and he is on stock gb. He doesn't know anything about smartphones in general so he thinks he is using a regular phone, and he is pretty happy about the phone's performance. I just want the same experience.
Thank you.

ICS 4.0.4 without hesitation especially with interducing of safe kernel
Flash stock ICS 4.0.4 via PC Odin (the new one like xxlrt or ddlr9) then flash safe stock kernel like PhilZ kernel for your new rom from (also via odin or cwm): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And thats it!! Full stock, very smooth (compared with older 4.0.4), and most important it is perfectly stable, and everything works.
I only aded a call recording mode beacause I realy need it.
Hope that help!

Okay I'll look into that. Someone suggested about Rocketrom, do you think that Rocketrom could perhaps be more stable and faster than fully stock ( except kernel maybe) xxlrt or ddlr9, and do everything work on that? Files are too large for touchwiz roms so i want to know more about different types of rom before doing some flashing. I won't have so much time this coming months so I really want a reliable phone. Thanks a lot.

I dont want complaining on certain rom, but if you ask i will say my opinion on rocketrom. It is a good and stable rom, i have used it with hydracore kernel and dont find any problems with in about 2-3 weeks of use. But it is based on xxlrq which i found a bit laggy for me (the same story is for completly stock xxlrq). I dont know which is a difernce in xxlrq compared to xxlrt (some says the diference is only in kernel but i dont know).
So i was tired of flashing and stuff and decided to go on completly stock, picked up a latest xxlrt and whoaa, great. The reason why i am on lrt because my note is from german, i think that same story is for indian lr6 and lr9.
Then the story begins:
-Flashed stock GB xxlc1 via pc odin
-full wipe
-flash stock ics 4.0.4. xxlrt via pc odin
-root (dr.ketans guide) - only because of callrecord mod
-first flashed hydracore 4.3std kernel (also great kernel) and then philZ realesed his stock, emmc bug free kernel, so i flashed it.
Now used only a PhilZ kernel because it is completly stock with removed emmc brick bug. And for stock xxlrt rom it is perfect combination for me (just choose right kernel for your rom)
-Added only call recording mode
-settings > application > unninstalling aplications which i dont use ; > ALL > disabling (readers, music, social hub, etc...)
-And thats it!
Perfectly stable, smooth with great battery life, without any problem, FC or else. Without reboot for about 3 days (reason flashed Philz kernel 23.09)
Finally happy with my note :victory:
Hope that helped
