Benefits of Lag Fix?

Here is what I did. Restored to my stock rom before upgrading to Vibrant7. I had Vibrant6 installed prior to 7. So far, I am impressed with the new software layout and such. Quite a clean rom, I would say. Thank you for your work, very much appreciated.

I am new to this lag fix and Quadrant thing. I downloaded Quadrant and run a second full benchmark and got 971 from Vibrant7. Is there any benefit to run lag fix? I am a little hesitating to run the fix because some users have reported errors due to running with the new rom. Is it reversible? Thank you for you answer.
[Vibrant Android Development] stolen_pillow:
Thanks for this Eugene! My Vibrant doesn't like the OC'd kernel but it still runs smooth as butter without it. Very clean build, great work!
[Vibrant Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
w/ 1.2 oc, and RyanZA's 2-3, i also pushed swype, and adw back on it, just my preference. runs like a dream tho, i finally got this thing where i want it. I dont even want to touch it! Great work eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] abezapata:
Dude where did you get that theme? PM me with a link if possible. Sorry for sidetracking.
[Vibrant Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
its a combination of a lot of things ive added myself.

-ADW Launcher w/ALT Dark theme

-Beautiful Widgets smaller Home widget w/android and i clock skin and emoticon weather skin

-Swith Pro Widget
[Vibrant Android Development] ytj87:
I'm unable to adb to Vibrant7. All was well with Vibrant6 in this regard. I've used both sdk_r06 and sdk_r05 with no luck. Reinstalled the Sammy USB x64 drivers too. My laptop will not detect the phone when plugged in. Debugging of course is on.

Anyone else with this trouble?
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Sorry; i meant to quote the guy before you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rick Chase:
when i try to install the lag fix from the market, it tell me i have another lag fix installed and in parenthesis it show this (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5 kb)

did i do something wrong?

edit: nvm, searched the original lag fix thread and found i have to "restore boot animation" first.
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
I get the same thing... I found you dont really need it with vibrant7 though.. it is very smooth and i have had no lag at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
If you are using the version from the app Market,when it says that just click on the button that says restore boot logo and then you will be able to install the fix
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
did you check to make sure usb debugging is on?

settings->applications->development->USB debugging.

Also with my mac, sometimes i have to unplug the cable from the computer, then plug it back in, and it will find it.

Teeeeheee
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
I updated to vibrant 7 and now I can't download .zip files from web, anyone else is having this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
download astro, and change the setting that allows you to dl any file type
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
Thanks man! Problem solved
[Vibrant Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
Woohoo. Great speed
[Vibrant Android Development] Demonloki:
Does anyone happen to have the Launcher2.apk backed up? I thought I had it but it turns out I don't :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Docavelli:
Excellent work as usual Eugene. Everything is working nicely. I've been running 7 for more that 24 hrs now. It seems to me that 7 isn't as crisp as 6. Like i said, everything is running. It just doesn't seem as snappy. :confused: Any body w/o lagfix notice a difference?

Not complaining at all. 7 is a very usable ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
It looked as if it was working, but when i hit install lagfix it started going, then it failed after about a minute.
[Vibrant Android Development] ytj87:
Yeah, I've even cycled the debug setting with reboots in between. Gonna flash back to Vib6 to see if it's 7 on mine or my laptop.

The phone detects that it's connected to USB, since the debug warning pops up. But the laptop, nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
flash the stock kernal in the OP via clockwork. It makes everything a lot more snappy for me at least.
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
regarding random freezing

I think the random freezing is related to heat, since it only seems to happen when the device is hot, I installed setcpu @ 1000 max with a temp profile at 110 to underclock, will post results

edit: I didnt notice any random freezing in an hr, but I read that some ppl had fried radios with the oc v4 so I flashed Jac v9
[Vibrant Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
yeah hold on
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
flash the stock kernel in the op via clockwork
[Vibrant Android Development] tommy96814:
anyone encounter this problem where you set the brightness level to max and eventually somehow it'll set itself back to the default without auto adjust?
[Vibrant Android Development] spiz516:
Are you sure you aren't swiping your finger across the notification bar? You can swipe left and right to adjust the brightness quickly.
[Vibrant Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
Took me forever to find it..
[Vibrant Android Development] Docavelli:
I'm planning on doing that when I get home. Thanks for confirming.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
I really appreciate seeing everyone trying this out posting similar issues so we know what to expect and then having similarly (multiple) posted responses for possible solutions to these problems, so don't fret, your def doing the guy a favor as well as many other folks who are taking the time to read all back posts since last updated.....

Any how I'd really like to hear what it is you or eugene may think is the reason behind some cpu's handling the overclocked kernel and some not? I mean this is the vibrant forum so I would assume anyone flashing this would be using a vibrant not an international galaxy or captivate and therefore all of our vibrants "should" be able to handle the upgrade, right?

Im just really lovin what I got goin on with the lagfix and eugenes vib6 rom with my personalizations added and would really only be jumping to vib7 to take advantage of the more highly optimized data throughput and the overclocked kernel and would hate to be an unlucky one of the few unable to utilize that upgrade.

Thanks for any thoughts or insight.

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...
[Vibrant Android Development] TRF-Inferno:
This is typical of any electronics. When I used to overclock desktop processors, it's not uncommon to see two identical processors that were bought from the same place, at the same time, react differently to overclock. When I bought two Core 2 Duo E8400 processors two years ago, I tested both of their overclockability. Both were identical in stepping and manufacture date, but one was able to run up to 3.6 GHz without increasing voltage and while the other can do "only" 3.3 GHz without voltage increase. Even though both the processors are essentially identical, one was able to withstand more overclocking than the other. This "factor" is due to external uncontrollable factors during manufacturing, the influence of other components it shares resources with, and tolerances.

For Samsung, they probably gave their engineers a minimum criteria of designing the Hummingbird to operate at 1 GHz at a certain voltage. As long as the product meets those specifications, they really don't care what it can do past that point. For all you know, the Hummingbird in your Vibrant might only be able to do 1.1 GHz stable while some random soccer mom's Vibrant might be capable of pushing 1.6 GHz under the same conditions without stability issues and she does not even know it.

An appropriate quote for this picture would be 'Everyone Is Equal, but Some Are More Equal Than Others'.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
First off, thanks....sometimes it gets annoying repeating the same thing, but if someone benefits from it, its all worth it. I know what its like frantically searching for an answer.

Regarding CPU speeds, this is an issue with overclocking any CPU. When CPU's are manufactured, they are thoroughly tested, "binned" to a certain speed, depending on how well the tests go. For example, Intel is manufacturing Core2Duo CPUs, while testing they are finding some work fine at 2.0Ghz, and some don't. The ones that are working at 2Ghz get sold as "2Ghz Stock chips", and the ones that didn't get disabled or clocked down till they are stable (so the chip that was unstable at 2Ghz, may run at 1.5Ghz perfectly fine, so its labeled and sold as a 1.5Ghz chip.).

What this means for us: Samsung manufactured the Hummingbird CPU's to run at 1Ghz. So ALL our phones are stable at 1Ghz. However, due to how CPUs are manufactured and "binned", some may be capable or faster speeds. Enter overclocking.....:D We are forcing a "1Ghz" CPU to run a 1.2Ghz using the same voltage. For some, that may cause instability, for others it may run perfectly fine. As a last resort, with a SLIGHT increase in voltage while running at 1.2Ghz, a few more CPU's may run at 1.2Ghz stable. However, there will almost always be some CPU that cannot function above 1Ghz, that's just the luck of the draw.

Hope this helps explain CPU manufacturing, "binning", and how that affects overclocking\undervolting.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_bot:
yeah thats the same thing that happens with me on my mac, i can "adb devices" and nothing, the phone is charging and everything, i think i can even mount the sdcard (not sure) but as soon as i leave the phone plugged in to the cable and unplug it from the laptop, and plug it back in, i can do "adb devices" and it detects it just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] tommy96814:
can someone post just the OC'ed kernal so i can use it with version 6? the lag fix messed up i think and now it says i can't remove the fix because i dont have enough space lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Demiurgic:
Anybody else having a issue with your contacts staying open? After about 1-2mins my contacts just randomly crashes.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
That's awesome, thanks for the explanation guys makes perfect sense now.... That's gotta suck for some... I saw some where that some one, either sammy or someone at cyanogen stating they should be able to do a stable rom (think it was 2.2) Or oc to 1.6 stable with our processor... Sucks for those not even touching 1.2 without issues...

Guess I will just give vibrant7 a shot and hopefully it will be all ok, if not then that's what nandroid is for

Thanks again all, especially eugene for doing the super hard work of even getting this available to some of us

[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
It's actually JAC's oc kernel, which he has posted in a separate thread...
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
If anyone is interested in how it runs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38BRRE_QjwY
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
What widget are you using for the sense clock?
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Vibrant7 is fast, but I've been noticing as of today which is day 2 of using that there are times when it seems to be a little glitchy. It eventually works, but doesn't seem to be as smooth as Vibrant6 was. I think tomorrow after a nother day of use I might flash the stock kernel and see if there is any improvement.

I don't plan to abandon it as of yet, but might as put it thru its paces. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] jlaval:
did you restore your system data using TB? if yes, that maybe the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
Is it a glitch or a missing feature?

If I hold the option button like i hold the home button, the Launcher+ error message pops up. Screen switcher is not working?
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
I am using weather and toggle widget (used to be called beautiful widgets i think )
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
That was it, thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
I am fairly new to this, what do I do to put it on my phone? Sorry, I just started doing all this stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Okay, so apparently there is some issue with Vibrant7 and either the circle percentage mod or the TW pulldown menu mod. Both times I've tried to install them, it has bricked the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I have the Circle Percentage mod working just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
Is it working fine with Eugene's framework-res or did you just flash the framework-res from the original mod? I don't want all the blue from the stock vibrant framework-res.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I'm not sure which one it was. It was the grey bar from the original TW (clear-to-stock). I had the bar mod working previously fine as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] jlaval:
definitely having GPS issues especially w/ navigation. Anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
Vibrant7 has been awesome. The oc'ed kernel is working great. Not a single FC or freeze. I changed the notification icons, added adw, and installed mobileap so its just like I want it.Getting high 2400s and a couple of lows 2500s in quadrant and runs smooth. The only issue was that installing mobileap killed the colors in settings, but its not a rom issue. The battery life seems to be the same, or atleast no major difference.

Thanks for your hard work. Looking foward to future improvements.
[Vibrant Android Development] flipper2006:
Eugene,

I just wanted to post a quick message, then i will go back read all of today's messages. I used the phone all day, and other then the problem with Calendar crashing, the phone was great. Much better battery use then Vibrant6 (even though this OC'd) which doesnt really make sense, but reguardless, normally I would be at 40% at this time in the day, today im at 59%. Very bizzare but very impressed. Ok, with that out of the wayt, i need to go read all the new messages.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chididdy123:
I am having GPS issues as well. Trying to use Copilot, but just wouldn't find my location (waited for 5 minutes, usually only takes 1-2 minutes for it to lock a position)
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
I can also confirm everything is working out well with JAC's OC kernel, ext-4, and vibrant7. No wake lag or freezes as of yet. Have not seen a need for the lag fix, I'm hitting about 1700 on quad without it.

Thanks Eugene!

To ppl having trouble if you go back far enough and carefully read through you'll find your answers between this thread and JACs kernel thread. Helps to be more then half awake. Definitely didnt get this going on the first try. GL!

EDIT: rebooting cause the phone to wipe. Reverting to stock for now :'(
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
I am running vibrant7 w the stock kernel and v1 of the one click lag fix and it has been running great for the past 24hrs...im also noticing much better battery life compared to stock or vibrant6

Quadrant is about 2200
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
To All G1, I think you upgraded from a previous mod rom...There is no way ppl with their virgin Tmob upgraded hitting 1000+ without some kinds of mod...I am on Vibrant 7 with no other mods and got 971 on Quadrant...:eek:

Btw, it is an amazing score if you actually installed what you mentioned, no lag fix?...

My Vibrant has the issue with GPS also, no satellite lock-on. Also the option button has a Screen switcher Launcher+ error message if you hold it down...Is it a missing feature?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
One full day on Vibrant7

So it has been a little more than 24 hours since I (correctly) flashed this rom and lagfix 2.

Last night I used Titanium backup to restore all 40 apps, took awhile, plus a bunch of settings I had previously, and also reinstalled some TW things like Buddies Now and Feeds and Updates. All while unplugged. Left off charger all day and only had it plugged in about 15 minutes in car while listening to music.

Besides the Restore, which is heavy use, I have used the phone moderately to heavy. 100 texts, 12 quick phone calls (1 to 3 min each), Headphone usage while playing poker with some friends, playing with GPS for about an hour, to see if I had any of the issues others are posting (not even close, it locks within a friggin second!!!!! Ridiculously fast), plus randomly playing with apps last night and today, about 3 to 4 hours straight use with screen on full bright most of the time.

I am now at 46% battery (oh yeah I put circular blue battery via metamorph, as well as clearbar)

Never have I thought that I would see this good of battery life using a smart phone like this. It has to be at least twice as long as stock.

On top of that, this rom is sick. So fast without lagfix, but I like having a quadrant of 2500's.

Only wish I did not have to use TW to use feeds and updates widget. But I really dont mind Twiz anyways.

Thanks Eugene, great work. Also glad to see you posting tweets about CM6

Will def be donating once my tuition check comes in.
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Well not such great news on my vibrant. Everything loaded great and ran fine but ever since loading up the vibrant7 (no lag fix) I have had weaker and more intermittent data. Emails no longer come in consistantly though they do show up eventually and the phone acts like it is in and out of service a lot more. I have even missed 2 calls where the phone never rang.

Originally I thought ok a coincidental tmo outage in my area and am still not ruling this out but I flashed via nandroid back to vibrant6 and now have no issues at all.

Not at all complaining as I think any eugene vibrant rom is leaps and bounds above stock, just curious if anyone has any ideas? The only things I can think of is:

a) The overclock is causing my issues as my cpu doesn't like being that overclocked

b) I did do a full titanium restore from my vibrant6 and perhaps something isnt fully compatible.

Right now I am back on vibrant6 and happy but would love to know what you guys think the issue with vibrant7 may have been.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
When you go to contacts>updates, it tells you to sign into a SNS account. When clicking on any of them, I get a force close. What do I have to add back in to be able to sign into these accounts & sync all my contacts again?
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Well I'm facing a possibly sad issue... My phone started freezing during fresh (only things changed were added benchmark programs from market) vibrant 7 benchmarking in both quadrant tests and neocore.....cool thing was though that during quadrant I was seeing steady high frame rates during 3d fps tests seeing it jump to even 60 fps at times... Also had mflops @9.7 somethin....

I wondered what one guy mentioned bout underclocking set to kick in at given temps... so I did overclock period, not extreme but some (800 max) and checked the cpu temp (84° f) and the second I exit after viewing temp and start neocore I get another freeze....

I'm not thinking this is an issue with some of the vibrants hummingbird processor not being able to handle the overclock since I obviously overcame that issue by actually underclocking it, but maybe the issue is with previous mods and roms being flashed over with this new rom and kernel and that its what is causing the issues....

I had already backed all my nandroid backups to my computer as well and plan on flashing the "true stock" through odin, rerooting, flashing the kernel first from jac ocv4, THEN flashing the vibrant 7 rom and will report back how it goes...

Wish me luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
I got the same issue. If you read the changelog, you will see all SN apps have been removed. I suspect that Eugene removed those apps as optional for certain users. Basically, I think most FC issues related to the missing apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
I'll fix the FC when I get time.. I don't use most those app & going to add back Stock Kernel as it seems not everyone's phone's are handling the OcV4 so well..

Stay Tuned for Vibrant8 when I get time to work on it.. as for now I'm working on CM6 in my time as well..

Also, Video has been added to the OP

~Eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
@Tekken Lord, I know the force closes are due to the missing apps. I just wanna know what the apps are related to it so I can add them myself.

@Eugene, you don't have to add them back in, as I know you don't use them. All I need is the names of the apps. I can do the adding of them back in myself

Edit: I just opened up one of the other ROM's I have & I see Snsaccount.apk & Snsprovider.apk. Are those both needed?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Def dont do full restore, just restore apps, then pick and choose the obvious ones for system. Accounts, wireless settings, bluetooth, etc.

I had a lot of issues after full restore also. Now running sweet.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tekken Lord:
Nevermind, I can also resemble that issue on my phone..So, I guess, we are on the same boat. i don't really use that feature much since I just download thos Sn apps to my widget screen...
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I think I speak for everyone, even those with serious issues with the overclocked kernel, when I say that we would rather you spend your time on CM6.

Thank you for making our phones awesome.
[Vibrant Android Development] Qverse:
something different

Eugene...Thank you...

Ok so as I read on this forum You have to run this on the stock vibrant ROM ? Right?

But I did something different ..First I upgraded my Clockwork Mod Recovery to 2.5.0.4.

Then I placed the Vibrant7 in my sdcard.

I rebooted into recovery and wipe. and run from clockwork and it could not complete ..BUT

The end result is GREAT..

Thanks lets try to get to run clockwork fully ( and why is it cant do why do it)?
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
Excuse me, I installed this and now whenever my phone starts it freezes, I wait for the media scanner to be done and wait for the mobile network to be found, but it is still freezing! I choose TwLauncher, freeze, I choose Launcher+, freeze, is it bricked??
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
No, this has Been Answered already... Flash the Stock Kernel in the OP, your Phone can not handle the OC
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
If your phone does ANYTHING at all, it is not bricked.

Flash stock using Odin, then reflash this, and make sure you follow instructions, and apply lagfix, if you choose to, before you restore apps using titanium backup and only restore apps not system too. (you can pick and choose the obvious ones from system)

The OP has all the info on flashing back to stock, but you can also just look for the thread from Eugene that has the stock rom, I believe there is a thread stickied also.

Odin can be tricky, but it is really easy once you get the hang of it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
I am extremely new... what is that?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
odin is no longer needed, unless they change the partition mapping.

but, until then we no longer need to use odin.

~Eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
I just want my phone to start up, what is the easiest way to do so? I already installed the Vibrant7 but now it keeps freezing, what is the next step(I am sorry, I have been to other hacking communities and I know it is hard to explain to noobs)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
just odin the Stock kernel.

before the phone starts up completely..

adb reboot download

then odin the stock kernel in jac's kernel thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Eugene answered that for you.

No longer need to flash via Odin.

Download regular kernel posted in OP then put on sdcard (not sd) reboot into recovery then reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] Addel:
Vibrant 7 was good and found that there was nothing wrong but since I play psx4droid, the gameplay seems to lag and freezes a lot. Just thought I like to point that out :-)
