If you don't use Setcpu, it will default to 800. So you can run it without, but it will be slower.

I did the remove_voodoo file thing to disable the first voodoo, then flashed this one. It worked great.

My phone doesn't like the 1200 lv kernel. I can run slower at lv, not 1.2. Every phone is different. If the lv kernel crashes, just flash the stock voltage one.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
what scaling should we choose?

i installed SetCPU, chose autodetect

at first it showed 800Mhz max and 100Mhz min, after a few seconds it showed 1200max and 100min

"Conservative" is the default scaling, should we leave it that way?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Conservative is the way to go...others have been known to cause issues. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] dialect129:
so if lv doesnt work do we have to unistall it to flash sv?
[Fascinate Android Development] Sgtmack:
No, I've been flashing over them with no problems. As long as the new kernel has voodoo, you can flash over the old one.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
ok, something isn't right

already had voodoo 0.2 lagfix installed, fyi

before (with 0.2 voodoo lagfix already installed)

Linpack 8.128 MFLOPS

Quadrant 1646

after installing D01 1200LV:

Linpack 7.946 MFLOPS

Quadrant 1726

so i was like why is it slower on Linpack? rebooted

went into SetCPU, shows 1200max 100min, Set on Boot has never been checked and still isn't. conservative scaling still selected

i never had to re-do the autodetect, it went straight for 1200max 100min at boot without me doing anything

and now im getting 6.4's in Linpack......rebooted ran it, got 6.4, said meh, flaked out...ran again....6.4.....ran Quadrant, got 1481....

how exactly do we uninstall this?
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Dirrk, can you share/quantify the actual voltage differences between standard and low. I'll assume standard is the max 1300mV??
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
Just a suggestion: Before you uninstall, try wiping data/cache. When I was flashing all the earlier jt and Dirrk kernels, it always seemed to help with the quadrants.

I know it's not SUPPOSED to affect any of that stuff, but after a few flashes, my phone would start to act funny, and that cleared it up 100% of the time.

Good luck!

doing the 1200 sv d01 dropped my quadrant score from 1805 to 1494. probably going to go back to the voodoo .02 lagfix.

[Fascinate Android Development] d12183:
Does LV not go up to 1200 that often or is that just me?
[Fascinate Android Development] dboss713:
Q: If I install one of these kernel's would re-flashing/reverting back to the stock kernel be an easy task (just some Odin work)? Or would it be more involved?

Edit: I see that you can flash these kernel's on top of each other. I'm just wondering if you can flash the stock kernel on top of these as well or if that would cause problems. Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
I'm was thinking of trying 1325 with 350, but I noticed 325 has been alright so I might just bump it to 1325 max and leave the rest.

Idk why I'm doing this, I always go back to 1100 :/
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
The kernel has to have it added into the init.rc just undid what samsung commented out. And removed the playlogos line.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
350 will use all you battery if it even boots. I used 350 for 1.4 and it just reboots.

Holy balldicks that's intense.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdubbin:
I was able to run some benches on D02 lv1250, it's fast, but not stable for me, it froze on a Quadrant bench. I've tried conservitive 1250 - 200, Cons 1250 - 400, Performance 1250 - 200 and on, can't seem to keep D02 lv1250 from freezing. It's not just the bench testing that's making it freeze, it takes a few mins of using the phone for anything and freezes. No worries though, back to D02 lv1200, which works great! Love the apple boot screen!!!

Thanks Dirk! Keep up the awesome work!
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyv5:
Been using LV1250 since it came out. setcpu set for 200 min 1250 max and no lockups with daily use. Havent' run any scores cuz it doesn't matter. as long as I can see the performance. and i can....

It means you didn't remove the disable_lagfix file in SDCard/Voodoo.
[Fascinate Android Development] zeiroe:
Dirrk ... Love your work ... I'm a huge fan.

Question for everyone. I've been using the D02-Kernel-LV-1000 and its been running great ... So great that I wanted to do a nandroid backup. I know I need to disable the lagfix before I attempt a backup. Ive been trying every combination possible in my sdcard/Voodoo folder:

I created a "disable_lagfix" folder within voodoo (instructions on OP said to make a folder)

created just a file named "disable_lagfix" ... no file extention

and various other combinations of "disable-lagfix" and "disable lagfix"

I never hear Linda when I reboot and when I run quadrant to verify my speeds, they're still on full blast ... oh noez ... am I doing something wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] zeroxg4:
you need to create a file (which you did), but where exactly did you put it?
[Fascinate Android Development] zeiroe:
I put it in /sdcard/voodoo
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
You didn't have the one-click lag fix installed before Voodoo did you?

from the command prompt..

adb shell buybox touch /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix

should be all you have to do.. assuming you have busybox installed.

[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
Well, I installed the 1200 LV and installed SetCPU. Currently running a stress test. Seems to be fine ... How long should I stress test for anyways? So far the phone is running nicely, but I had a couple of questions.

I went through the first batch of pages, but not the whole thread (getting late and I gotta open tomorrow!) Any word on if Dirk's will allow custom screen animations yet? Also, I downloaded one of the versions supposedly with animations, but they're gone. Phone boots up with sound, but nothing on the screen.

Also, is it bad to select "set on Boot"? I would like to not have to open SetCPU every time I reset my phone to select the proper scaling. So far seems stable with 100 min and 1200 max. Followed instructions and the whole gamut from 100 to 1200 is selectable. (scaling conservative)

Again, minor questions. Phone is running fine so far. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
SK fancy seeing you here;)

Stress testing I've never done more than 6-8 minutes honestly usually they crack immediate or not at all; its not like Prime95 where you wanna/need to sleep on it literally.

The D02 kernels all have the ability to have bootanimation.zips. I kinda thought they came with them already. If not [and you want the Droid peeing on the apple just get them out of jt's kernel with RootExplorer and put it in data/local.

Until you establish that you're GTG with a kernel its safer not to set on boat in case you get caught in a boot loop but once you are confident its stable for you sure you can set on boat. And yeah 100min 1200max Conservative is the standard and its very nice
[Fascinate Android Development] juwon2:
I installed the 1200 and 1250 LV. They're working perfectly on my SF. Thank you Dirrk.

Using 1250LV, I got 2080 and 10.051.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoonee:
good work!

Well I guess my phone doesn't like the LVs...

I tried both LV 1250 and 1200 but both frozed.

So now I'm with SV 1200 and works great.

Scores really doesn't matter but they are at about

mid 1800 on quadrant and mid 9 on linpack.

I'm waiting for SV 1250!

Thanks for the great work Dirrk :)
[Fascinate Android Development] dboss713:

[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
Yep. It worked! Wow. I just popped in a star trek one for testing and it works great. There's a little glitch, but it's very minor, and I think it might just be a miss-named PNG or something like that. I can probably fix it manually later, but it looks good! Dang, this mod is cool. I am rocking some nice speed. I'll have to run benches. So far it's snappier, and battery life has been awesome. Gosh, I am loving this phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Right back at ya tats ;):p E-penis wars continue.

If you grab the advanced it has that nice breakdown of the indivdual componets. I find Memory and I/O vary a lot of CPU, 2D and 3D should be really close for us with the same kernel and I'd love to see your [or anyone's] advanced stuff. I do think Quadrant is somewhat useless given the variance in overall score from I/O manipulation. However, 2D, 3D and cpu seems to be a level playing field
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
boss Im wondering if you can grab the advanced version of Quadrant I'd be very interested to compare your individual component scores to mine since they are so close. Im curious as to why your score didnt budge from 1200 to 1250. As you can see from the post above Im getting the impression CPU, 2D and 3D are actually relative test score numbers. I/O is such a sideshow its somewhat hard to assess. But in seeing some other numbers from other SF's it appears our CPU score especially and 2D and 3D secondarily are almost linear in terms of score value. That is Im obviously 20% faster on clockspeed than stock and yet comparing my CPU score within Quadrant to stock I find Im averaging right about 19% faster than the 3 others I looked at running a Ghz. That's pretty much in line with a linear 20% increase. I'd just love to get more data to put the postulation to the test. Im super curious to see if your 1200 and 1250 cpu score were 4% different or not.

** I suppose I could run my own numbers with different kernels but if people already have the info thats quicker and easier. Not to mention it gives me a broader vase than just my SF on different clockspeeds.

So I'm trying to install this lagfix. It's been booting for 25 minutes, most of the time with a black screen and soft keys illuminated. When should I consider pulling the battery, and how much work should I be expecting to get this back to normal?

I did read it. That's why I was asking. It had been going for more than 25 minutes at time of writing. I let it go to 45 min, then pulled battery and spent hours trying to restore again. Not sure why these lagfixes aren't working for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Hmm yeah 45 should have been enough. Often times guys get problems with the they make a disable lag fix folder instead of file :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
I think it might have something to do with not clearing the database file from the first time I tried installing. Not sure, though. Until I can get a better idea of where the problem is coming from, I'm going to hold off...
[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
Say, I'm having an issue with Dirrk's LV 1200. I've got SetCPU set to 100 min, 1200 max with start on boot off. (still wondering whether it's ok to turn on or not.) I ran some stress testing on it for about 30 min, and no errors or lockups occurred.

But the strange thing happening is that it will sit idle in my pocket for an hour or so, then the screen won't come back on. I plug it into the computer and it beeps that a device is connected, but still nothing comes up on the screen. I hold down power. still nothing. Won't shut off. Won't turn on. The only thing that will bring it back on is a battery pull.

I don't know why it does this. The phone runs everything just fine with those settings. Why is the screen not coming back on after sleep? This phone's never done that before. I thought maybe 100MHz was too slow, and it was falling into "too deep" a sleep. Lol. So I put it at 200 min. Same thing happened. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened three times or so today, and it's annoying to have to do a battery pull.

Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Your phone probably is not liking the LV...I would flash standard voltage and test it out. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] aroy002:
I'm having the same issues with the lv 1200. Black screen when on idle but can handle intense benchmarks. Trying or the standard voltage one now...seems like just a little more voltage would make the lv more stable for our devices. Is there any way to do an in between, like 1260 or 1270 for 1.2 instead of just 1250v or 1300v?
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
i am running the D02 1250LV kernel, rock solid here

only one issue, supposedly these D02's have the capability to run different bootanimations. after flashing this kernel i now have no boot animation at all, i get the Samsung logo, then blackness (with stock boot sound) and then the phone is normal....so its not a deal breaker

was wondering if those D02 kernels had a custom bootanimation in them already or is there not one because the user is expecting to load their own?

thing is, i used ADB to push a known working bootanimation to /data/local using these directions:

Use ADB to access.

First install the Android SDK Android SDK | Android Developers

Put your animation in the tools directory.

Open a command prompt to the tools directory.

Send the file to your phone with the following command:

ADB PUSH BOOTANIMATION.ZIP /DATA/LOCAL

and it worked successfully except for whatever reason i still have only the black screen where a boot animation should be displayed....and im not alone...any help Dirrk?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Did you extract the file? Don't...that would prevent it from displaying correctly. I just used Root Explorer to copy it over to data/local...but you can also copy to system/media. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] kupdegrove:
I'm getting the same behavior with the D02 LV1200. I went with the D02 vs. D012 because I wanted the animations. Are these two identical except for the boot animation?

I had originally flashed the SV1200 and I didn't notice the problem; however, when I did the restore from CWM, I have the same issue. Navigating anywhere away from the home screen takes me right back.

Any thoughts on what might be the issue or the best way to resolve?
[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
My puzzlement is that the phone runs fine when it's in demand. When running multiple apps, heavy apps, benchmarks, stress tests, games, etc, the low voltage doesn't appear to be an issue in any way shape or form. It runs fast and stable.

Why, then, would having lower voltage be an issue when the phone is idle, the screen is off, and SetCPU supposedly has things cranked all the way down???

Also, I noticed that the black screen only seems to run when SetCPU is running in the background. If I don't run SetCPU, it always comes right back on when I hit the button.
[Fascinate Android Development] kupdegrove:
It was the voltage. The SV1200 works fine. Strange though, it would seem that the same phone should behave consistently. Oh well, Quads of 2k and Lins of 9.5+ so I'm not complaining. You guys are Awesome!
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
Go into setcpu and change the sampling rate to 100000
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
I'm running your D02 1200LV and it is 100000 by default.

BTW, Dirrk are you still developing any more OC Kernels or have your concluded? I know you were hitting a wall at 1.3Ghz. Just wondering if we should look for a 1250SV or anything at 1300? Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
I have that same kernal. How come we can't select 1GHz? It goes from 800 to 1200.

Oh, and by the way, I set scaling to "performance" and now my quadrant is 2061. What the heck??

When I got the 1800's score before, I had the max and min both set to 1.2GHz, with scaling on conservative.

What is good/bad about the different types of scaling anyways??
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
There are only 5 increments 100, 200, 400, 800 are the default ones and frankly I think the guys just never changed them. So yeah depending on the kernel you either have top speed or 800 but no in between. You gotta re-flash a mere 1Ghz kernel to have 1Ghz. Unless someone makes a kernel where 800 is replaced by 1000 or something like that.

I find benchmarks highest with performance. Performance basically locks the cpu at topspeed to give max performance. Conservative gives it to you when you need it so its better for battery life. Conservative does kinda the same thing that the i7 does when it throttles down or at least thats the principle. The difference is the hummingbird has 5 increments as opposed to 2.

If benching Im in Performance but otherwise I'd go 24/7 with conservative.

But also dont be surprised if your Quadrant score varies by as much as 200 points. I had a long thread in AF about this. 2061 is a nice score and consistent with the 1200LV
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
I do plan on doing it. I have just been busy
[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
Good to know. I'll go back to conservative, then. I'm happy with that 2061 though! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
no, per the instructions i did not unzip the file....

i dont see where using root explorer would make it behave any differently than pushing it to the phone via ADB, which was successful, it just doesnt actually load the animation

Hi Dirrk,

I just kinda had a random question which was bothering me for a while...

I migrated to this phone from the droid and was wondering why the conservative governor seems to ramp up differently from the droid to the fascinate.

On the fascinate, the conservative governor behaves a lot like on-demand did for the droid in that the ramp-up speed is very quick and responsive, whereas the conservative gov on droid1 stayed at a crawl for a few seconds before ramping up to max.

Did you change something so that the fasc conservative gov would behave more like on-demand? Or is the difference accounted for by the Hummingbird architecture? See I would think if you OC'ed a droid with a 1.2ghz kernel, the conservative gov would behave similarly to the 1.2ghz fascinate despite the different frequency slots

Sorry just curious.

You will have to likely odin restore. You're not supposed to pull the battery unless it takes over 25 min. Mine took nearly ten minutes to complete. The voice confirm is a good sign. My phone was black for most of the operation. Pulling the battery at ten minutes is kind of what we're not supposed to do, according to the OP and others.

[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
Try restoring from the mostly stock 300 plus meg file found on the odin restore thread. Then get into your phone without adding any accounts (bypass all that stuff). Do a restore/erase from the "privacy" menu in your settings.
[Fascinate Android Development] SirKronan:
I got those links for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782204

And here's how to bypass the account creation so you can get into your settings and do a privacy factory restore:

1. press emergency call button

2. at the dialer, press * # 8 3 7 8 6 6 3 3

3. press the home key

You've got to do it fairly quickly, but that should get you in.

The restore from recovery console didn't do it for me, and the market wouldn't work. After doing the factory restore in the privacy settings, the market (and the rest of the phone) started to work perfectly.

Again, I want to mention I had some bad luck with the one-click root, and ended up using the manual method to do it instead. After that, good to go.

EDIT: SetCPU was set to performance. :P After switching to conservative, it lingered at 800 mhz until it finally set itself to 1200 max. Runs smooth and clean, but my phone will still restart when I use Dolphin browser, Skyfire funs fine though, hum... peculiar. Anyone else with this problem?

Of course, all of this is taken place within two hours. I will give it a day or two and place my final verdict. :/
