[Fascinate Android Development] Andassaran:
I agree. Time to get back on topic.

This build is running flawlessly and it wouldn't have been possible without everybody involved. Times_infinity, ccampos, and everybody else who's names I've yet to learn. Yes i had some issues with getting things working but with a gentle nudge in the right direction it got fixed. Can't wait till our official gingerbread release.

I'm done arguing about pointless things.
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
And add a dash of uneducated arrogance from tonu42 with a sprinkle of an unwarranted comment and the **** hits the fan.

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
True. On a different note, voodoo plus says that the kernel does not allow the insertion of the sound module or drivers
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
wow, it seems there is NO us cellular kernel support at all for the voodoo+ app. Hmmm. that sucks...

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Does dsp manager require modified module and drivers?
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
I was able to load the voodoo sound module with voodoo control plus. I flashed Fuju tweaks (development thread) earlier. Would that make a difference?
[Fascinate Android Development] wil318466:
How does this ROM perform compared to MIUI mtd with Glitch kernel? At this point MIUI is fast, responsive, and works just about perfectly. I'm seeing people say this ROM is really good in terms of everything working well. How is it performance-wise though, compared to glitch kernel/MTD?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Could it be maybe because I don't have cwm installed yet ?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Try installing the beta 2 patch (the 08-31 reuploaded one that fixes some root issues). Voodoo Sound should work fine. (Attached Screenshot)
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Compared to Glitch/MTD, the RFS system is limiting the speed of the ROM, in terms of I/O speed. It still feels snappy but once a kernel source is out, Voodoo lagfix can be applied to EH09/whatever our release may be, so it'll be about as fast as MTD, since it will use EXT4. Everything works well (in terms of very responsive sensors and proper call volume, etc.) because the kernel was written by Samsung. If you are content with MIUI's performance and it works well for you, I would say wait until a custom kernel is available or stay on MIUI.
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Not as fast. More functional. If it had voodoo EXT4 lagfix it would be comparable (did not say equal to) but imo at this point it probably is not as fast as debloated etc. froyo with lagfix. It is a wip being beta and all. Time will tell. I am sure we will see it improve with more kernel support.

How about it Times Infinity?

Edit: ccampos beat me to it. What he said. He IS the man here.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Haven't had time to odin cwm or the patch. I'll let you know if that takes care of the voodoo sound
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
If you guys want to try out a different acc. battery mod, find it in the Mods section of the OP. It's still GB Style but the numbers are easier to read. Found it in the UOT Kitchen (cause I'm so lazy) but I thought it would go great with the ROM.

I'm going to see if I can get the Mms.apk MMS outgoing messages to work. It's a weird error (almost finishes sending then stops and says "The recipent is an invalid address", not sure why).
[Fascinate Android Development] Deltido:
This is by far the fastest my phone has ever been after flashing this. Thanks to all who contributed. This should make the wait for my next phone a breeze:D
[Fascinate Android Development] mzrdisi:
Really appreciate this. So far running great.

Only thing I've noticed is something that's clearly pointed out. No working flash light apps. However the flash will go off while taking a picture. (However it won't use it to focus, which can hinder certain shots)

I haven't tried other camera apps if it will work with the flash in this way yet. I hope it does!

If Samsung releases the kernel source for the mesmerize gingerbread release, will that help immensely?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
This seems to be the same thing with MIUI/CM7, no working apps that can manipulate the LED except for the Camera itself. I'm not sure why, but maybe Samsung didn't inplement the necessary functions for it to work in this build, basically not allowing these apps to work. (This was a testing build for ACG..). Since EH09 is out for USCC Mesmerize officially, maybe I can see if Flashlight works over there, and maybe we can get it working here.

As for the kernel source, if Samsung releases it, we will see new custom kernel that will fix obvious bugs and features like OC and UV. So yes, it will help a lot.
[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
First off I gotta say how impressed I have been with not only the accuracy of your answers to the vast number questions you reply to, but the speed at which you do it. And it's not just in this thread either. I am sure I speak for many when I say thanks, its how we all learn. And its because of this that I feel like you are the most appropriate person to ask these next couple questions:

Based on the quote above, is the new TKSGB kernel the most functional at this time? I am getting an unreal amount of freezes with imoseyo's 0.9.1 release, and the 1.1.1 release I couldn't get running for longer than 10 minutes.

which leads me to the next question: could my imoseyo's kernel experience been due to using adren shot? or perhaps having installed it either incorrectly or at the wrong time?

does adren shot updates just get flashed over the top? (which I should be probably asking in that thread now that I think about it..)

I appreciate any light you can shed on this.

Thanks a lot

[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
My first inclination is that your phone cannot handle the Uv in imoseyo. He doesn't state how much he under volted the kernel by. Wipe dalvik and install TKSGB 1005 so you control your own Uv. Then install adrenaline on top

PWGB 2. 0b3 imoseyo 1.2.1,adren shot xv, honeycomb v 2.02
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Back to TKSGB 10-05. Solid work. Bln works. Good times!

PWGB 2. 0b3 TKSGB 10-05 , adren shot xv, honeycomb v 2.02
[Fascinate Android Development] Superguy:
So what is the best kernel to use with this now? Any of them have a Verizon fingerprint?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Imo TKSGB 10-05 and imoseyo 1. 2. 1 in that order. The fingerprint is in the Rom

PWGB 2. 0b3 TKSGB 10-05 , adren shot xv, honeycomb v 2.02
[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
Ok, way off topic, sort of. I'm beginning to think I am a complete idiot regarding the flashing of adren shot x after the tksgb kernal, all on top of this ROM. I cannot seem to figure out how to delete th files in the system/.../init.d from the previous adren shots so I can flash the new one. Any help would be most appreciated...
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
You need root explorer to do this. Click on system (if your root explorer defaults to SD card contents then press parent folder first), then click on the folder named etc, then click on the folder called init.d, then click on the mount r /w button on the upper right hand corner then select the tweak files and delete them. Dont delete the one that says voltages (voltage control uses that one). Exit and now you can flash your new adrenaline shot

PWGB 2. 0b3 TKSGB 10-05 , adren shot xv, honeycomb v 2.02
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Thanks! I tried it but it didn't end up working for me. Permissions fix from CWM seems to finish in .02 seconds, as well as from within jrummy's ROM Toolbox and ROM Manager so I'm not confident that it's really fixing anything. I tried disabling lagfix and partition conversion but that had no effect.. Really perplexed at why the touchscreen just stops responding.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Hmmm, then I'm out of suggestions. FWIW, it completed just as fast for me when it did work, so don't go by that...
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
I would start back from square one. Do a stock rom Odin flash, boot to make sure it's not hardware related, then one by one, bang through the steps to get ya back on PWGB. Godspeed!
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Pretty sure it's not hardware related but I'm undoubtedly going to go back to square one and load the latest official from sammy (EH05, right?) then bump back up. The reason I suspect it's not hardware is that the touchscreen was working flawlessly on all of the MTD builds previously before I finally decided to give the TW enabled stuff another shot.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Its ED05 2.2.2. when you went from mtd to tw, did you odin back to stock w/ pit file and repartition checked? If not that could very well be you issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178544

I'd recommend using Odin and NOT the Sammy (PST) utility. Remember to repartition with the Atlas.pit.
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Yeah I was sure to use the pit and repartition checkbox when I went from MTD OMFGB -> ED05 stock -> GeeWiz 1.1.1 -> GeeWiz 2.0 -> PWGB.

I should get a chance later tonight to ODIN my phone and I'll let know how it goes.

Yeah I'm using Odin v1.3.exe -- Seems to work great. Have never used the Sammy PST utility but will be sure to avoid it after reading through that thread. Thanks for the link. Do you know if there is a reliable ODIN tool that works on Ubuntu x64?
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
I think everyone should just get power amp
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Ok, so I've had a chance to ODIN and get things up and running again -- So far so good. Here was my order, if anyone is curious or I need to troubleshoot later.

ODIN ED05 + Atlas pit w/repartition checked -> boot up -> ODIN PWGB beta3 -> boot up -> ODIN recovery_all -> three-finger salute immediately into CWM and apply permission fix from op -> boot up -> reboot to CWM and apply TKSGB 1005.

I noticed that it (TKSGB) didn't autoconvert the partitions, which is cool.. Any word from anyone who has converted to ext4 using TKSGB 1005? Did it make the phone quicker?
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
Honestly, better Quadrant scores and faster application installs were the only thing I really noticed. The speed increase was negligible for me otherwise. The rom/tks kernel combo in itself is blazing.
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Awesome -- I'll just leave it formatted as RFS then. As I understand it RFS has better journaling anyways, so it should hopefully result in a lower chance of any data corruption/missing.

Just waiting on my text messages to restore and then I'll go ahead and apply Adrenaline X tweaks. In that vein I have 4917 messages - Is there any anticipated problem with this?? What does everyone else do with their messages? I feel like I've become a digital hoarder..

--EDIT--

Also with regards to the Adrenaline tweaks.. Do you install the UNIVERSAL Adrenaline shot, or just the Adrenaline shot (without the universal prefix)? I only ask because of the substantial file size difference. Universal weighs in at 406KB versus 2.06MB for the Adrenaline shot without the prefix.

--FURTHER EDIT--

I went ahead and unzipped both files to compare and diff. It looks like the differences (and as referenced by dsexton702) are the "tools" folder in the non-universal which among other things disables journaling. Looks like I'm just going to be rocking the Universal. :)

While I'll say this is my last dumb question I think everyone knows it won't be.. Is there some secret way to make TouchWiz launcher organize apps alphabetically without doing it manually??

Does anyone know when we convert to partitions for Voodoo Fix if it uses EXT4 with journaling on? I see the debate that went on some time ago (like back in March) but don't see if it trended that way or not..
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
In my personal experience, RFS is faster only until all the dalvik and cache is built, then it slows down to a crawl.

Agreed, I stuck with the stock kernel for this reason.

Little confused..didn't he say he went with the tks kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] radeonDEUS:
ok so total noob question...everything seems to be functioning fine, however i do not hear a sound when i receive an sms...dont know about mms but ive had this happen before with other roms, cant remember which but...root and the market all seem to be working fine, no screen lockups or anything other than this...

*EDIT*

helps if you read, however who has time to read 100 pages of post just for a notification tone? ;-)
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
I had that happen to me this morning, not sure which of the few things I did fixed it, but I ran my volume up and down, and reselected my ringtone for my texts, and rebooted.

It was rather annoying not knowing when my wife was texting me.
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
I feel so special right now
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Finally flashing... Titanium is taking a lot longer than when I went to EB01.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
That is strange, as it should convert on boot. If it didn't it means you probably have a file named disable-lagfix in /sdcard/Voodoo. Handy way to use Voodoo kernels without converting to ext4 if you're so inclined.

IMO ext4 does help. I was a little iffy because it seemed like while there was less lag overall, the lag I did get could sometimes be worse. The real lagfix is and always was to use mtd. But the tweaked deadline scheduler I put in TKSGB 1005 got rid of that for me.

I'm pretty sure no journaling is involved. The argument was that ext4 by itself was already better than fully journaled filesystems of yore like ReiserFS, and with the help of a Samsung moviNAND hardware feature, data integrity could be made quite acceptable. Good enough explanation for me and I haven't had any ill effects from frequent battery pulls, drops, etc., although I nuke and reformat fairly often. I'm inclined to agree that RFS writes are well atomic. Pity they get so disgustingly slow.

BTW I'm laughing a bit at you guys talking about how fast my kernel is. Not that I myself haven't noticed how snappy it is compared to stock. It's just that in comparison to how many tweaks are in some other SGS kernels, TKSGB is stock as hell. I'm hoping to see some major gains once I start putting some in without the problem those kernels get with too many tweaks causing irregular behavior :)
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Thanks for the fountain of information comradesven! I think I'm going to give a go with enabling Ext4 partitions and see where that puts my phone. So far after the reload I'm really loving it.

Plus it's totally awesome to hear from the developer (ok, I know your post says you arent' a developer, but you've done more developing than I've ever done) of the kernel!

Yep that was it! I had disabled it on my previous load (when I was still having the weird touch screen issues) and the file was still there. Didn't know it worked like that but the more you know! Thanks!

So I'm googling around now for info about MTD -- I know that all the developers and everyone else are all raving about MTD and I remember from experience it did seem to noticeably resolve any lag issues I have currently but the question is how? Are you able (and willing) to explain what it is that MTD is doing to correct it? From what I can read MTD basically just means you are re-partitioning the devices so that system/data/cache are all assigned optimal values. Unless there is something VERY wrong with the values that Samsung used I can't really see how that would provide such a huge gain.

Ok so some more google-fu lead me to what I was looking for. It looks to me like MTD is a kernel option that can be enabled and used for correctly partitioned devices. Specifically MTD is Memory Technology Device and it is a better way of handling flash devices (not to be confused with flash cards and the like). So it sounds like it's an updated file system support to better utilize flash memory (think SSD) instead of treating it as if it were a HDD (spinning platter)?
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
OK, the GB charge bug seems to be real. I recall Captivate devs worked it out in their kernels somehow -- any idea what they did?
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
Holy ****. That was an awesome write-up! Thanks for all the information, that was really in depth. It's good to see where Samsung is coming from, not to mention the business with not actually addressing the flash eraseblocks directly (I had no idea there was a CPU!).

Also it's good to see where you're coming from with the code building -- I can relate, that's how I've slapped together a few forms for my work.. PHP/jQuery/HTML -- Don't really know any of it but I sure can slap it together like legos. Kudos on all you do!

Are you referring to the bug where charging your phone with it off results in a power-on? I think they worked that out on some of the MTD builds -- Pretty sure I was able to charge to max with my phone powered off on the OMFGB ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
I'm blown away by what comradesven just wrote. Do us all a favor and get this kernel out of alpha stage. It's as stable as any Pbj I've ever used.

PWGB,TKSGB10-05, adren shot xv, honeycomb2.02, ec09 radio.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Nope -- and that's default Nexus S behavior. I mean the bug where after you hit 100% it doesn't start charging again when it hits 95%, so when you pull it off the charger in the morning you're at 90% or less.

I'm going to dig around in the framework to maybe turn off the full charge notification -- perhaps it's related somehow to that, or there's relevant code in that vicinity. But I get the feeling it's a kernel issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
The only thing I have noticed about this ROM, is that when I use Runkeeper or MyTracks to do my running, the GPS isn't found on either of them. However using Facebook or websites it locks in almost immediately. Any suggestions or ideas on how to improve the locking for the applications?
[Fascinate Android Development] Photex:
just switch to this rom from running MIUI, i got the phone a few months ago and immediately went to CM7. I am very surprised at how well Touchwiz runs, great work.

I was getting highly frustrated then I realized that I was slightly swyping to the right and that was causing it to dial the person. then tried to the left and it would go to messaging...Winning!

Running it at 1200 on demand with no re boots. It has only frozen when trying to push the Uv settings to the limit

just figured out what the problem might be. Accidently had 1400mhz uv -50. Dropped it down to -25uv. Also I noticed since the tks 1005 update I'm actually scoring 100+ points higher on untutu without the adren v9.5 tweak? 3500 with/ 3602 without.

[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
I am new to using voltage control. What are those -uv numbers representing in the middle tab? And how do they affect performance?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
They represent undervolting, which basically draws less power from your battery, thus achieving better battery life. Not all fascinates can handle the same amount of undervolting. A good starting point as laurenop pointed out is: Set overclock to 1200mhz max, then try undervolting -50 across the board. Disable 100mhz step...

example...

1200mhz -50uv

1000mhz -50uv

800mhz -50uv

600mhz -50uv

400mhz -50uv

200mhz -50uv

If you overclock more than 1200mhz, I would only undervolt the 1300&1400mhz by -25... also you might get away with undervolting 200-800mhz range by -75...just have to play around with it and see what works best.
[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
Thank you so much for that explanation. So would adjusting these settings possibly help resolve the google maps/gps freezing issue, and the sluggish performance when waking up afterbthe screen has been off, or losing streaming radio anytime the screen turns off?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
It will not solve the Google maps issue. To figure out the sluggish wake up first get rid of the 100mhz step. Then change your governor to on demand or interactive, those two things should take care of the slow wake up + the music streaming loss. Let us know how it goes
