Just heads up 1.96 stuck my phone in a boot loop. Flashed back to 1.54 and it's been working flawlessly. Thanks for all your hard work!

[Fascinate Android Development] jelnlikeafelon@yahoo.com:
How do I flash to an older version and/or remove the kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
Just flash over top of the kernel. It is generally safe to go from non-voodoo -> non-voodoo and non-voodoo -> voodoo, but going from voodoo -> non-voodoo can cause problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] jelnlikeafelon@yahoo.com:
I initially flashed with clockwork, so I don't see where I would be able to find the older versions. Also how do I actually go about flashing the kernels without clockworkmod?

Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
download the kernel and put it on your sdcard somewhere. Reboot your phone with the recovery option, or turn it off and then back on, holding both volume buttons while you turn it on. That will get you into the recovery where you can then flash the kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] uslacson1:
I have just flashed the latest test release, do you recommend using set cpu.

If so whats the best setting?

I have been following your updates on this kernel and trying out all new release.

Thank you for all the hard work.
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
My patience finally ended up and I've rooted and flashed DJ05. After playing some time I decided to give a try for last TEST v. 1.98 build.

Pretty much everything works just fine. Thanks a lot for your hard work!

However one thing totally freaked out - all samsung buttons in notification tray, especially plane mode and GPS. I am able to switch GPS on and off, using settings, but GPS button doesn't reflect current state and doesn't appear to be clickable after first click. Plane mode button... Well feels like it now has more than two states... ON/OFF/Green/Gray and they do not correspond to real state. Also sometimes it switches on Wi-Fi. Sometimes it doesn't turn off everything...

It is acceptable, but hell annoying...

Otherwise all is good and snappy! Thanks one more time!
[Fascinate Android Development] Jodiuh:
I have a few questions for you guys.

How does getting around the GUI, opening, and switching between apps compare to Voodoo?

How does this kernel do w/ RSS readers like Newsrob?

How does battery life compare to Voodoo? I'm running JT's low voltage FWIW.
[Fascinate Android Development] mexiken:
Yes, I would like to know as well, thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
Odds are that voodoo will do better with RSS readers as I'm guessing that they do a lot of read/write stuff. I haven't used the latest Stupid Fast kernels, but before, they tended to be faster for most operations than anything else. The only place they get killed is in I/O due to RFS.
[Fascinate Android Development] zr0ko0l:
i have a very noob question... i rooted my fascinate but kept it stock and just changed themes, i am on firmware 2.1-update 1, build number SCH-1500.DH12, would flashing stupid fast kernel 1.54 mess up my phone? i know it says DJ05, how would update to that without loosing root and all my things?
[Fascinate Android Development] jadambpharm:
i can confirm this. voodoo -does- do better with rss readers (at least with feedr), but it's really not that terrible of a lag (in rss) with stupidfast - i can deal with it to get the better battery life that these kernels get me over jt's great work. as far as other operations within the os go, its a toss-up. i can't tell a difference. matter of preference, really: battery vs. read/write performance.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jodiuh:
Thanks, I'll stick w/ Voodoo since I have Newsrob grabbing over 300 simplified web pages per day using instapaper.

Hey geeknik, I've been testing your test kernels and if you want I can help out by filing bug reports.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
Great job Geeknik,

Quick question:

"Undervolted: 1ghz - 1225mV; 800mhz - 1125mV; 400mhz - 1000mV; 200mhz - 900mV; 100mhz - 900mV"

Are there two UV settings for your latest release? If so, how do you control the UV settings? StupidFast TEST v12.15.10 (DJ05)
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Just wanted to say that your kernel is great! I'm not positive, but it feels like I'm getting better battery life than before, and it's definitely significantly more responsive than stock. It also feels faster than voodoo4 (or v0.2 for Fascinate) although I haven't tried voodoo5, but I don't think I will because of the troubles I had removing voodoo before.
[Fascinate Android Development] Smitty9803:
I agree 100%. I just got rid of voodoo4 and flashed your kernal and to be honest, it feels like a different phone. Phone operations and scrolling up/down through lists/files is MUCH faster and smoother now whereas when I had voodoo, lists would lag and sometimes freeze the phone.

No more voodoo for me!

Great job and thanks for providing these for everyone! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
Could you imagine the stupid fast optimizations paired with voodoo? Nuts :)

[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
That's the way it is for me too :( Idk why it does that. I have even tried to reboot my phone after it is done charging, but still doesn't work.

[Fascinate Android Development] Ahodson1985:
I was running the 1.97 (i think.) no issues until I tried using gps and got no satellites. Were any changes made to gps? When I flashed back to 1.54 I got immediate lock. Great work though as always geeknik!

Sent from my sch-i500 using dj05 w/ stupidfast kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Just flashed 12/17, feels even faster, I guess it's the overclock. I guess I was getting lockups on 12/15 but I didn't realize it was the kernel. I'm trying the interactive governor too now in setcpu. Should battery life be similar with the overclock? I guess it would be similar to stock with a higher frequency but lower voltage, although if it can get things done faster and spend more time in low power states it might be a net win.
[Fascinate Android Development] The_Tech_Ninja:
yeah I have it set to conservative
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Actually, maybe I spoke too soon. Still experiencing some random lockups on 12/17, but I guess that's why it's a test kernel. Of course, it could be something else entirely, but that's the main thing that I've changed on my phone in the past three days.
[Fascinate Android Development] draco259:
Getting 9.4 with linpack. Also sorry to hear about you code geeknik would you suggjest going to the last stable release since we won't be seeing a new version for awile?

SetCPU

I've read different people use setcpu with stupidfast kernel.... is it recommended to use setcpu for stupidfast or does the kernel itself handle the cpu settings? Thanks....
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
I've been using 12-17-10 since about the time it was put on Rom Manager. So far, so good. I'm noticing any issues. Seems fast and stable. I was having wifi randomly drop out with the last test but that doesn't seem to be the case with this one.
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesbdh:
I am having alot of connectivity issues with bt and switching to airplane mode. Bt connection drops after about 2 minutes.

12/19 test

12/19 test now on ROM manager.
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
So has anyone tried the new test kernal? I noticed that it is overclocked a little bit this time. Curious as to how stable it is and if it is worth switching from 1.54

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
Well, i ended up having consistent wifi connectivity issues with the test. This seemed to stop with 12–19-10 however I started having Gps issues. I couldn't get a lock. Flashes back to 1.54 and gps worked again. Staying with 1.54 until wifi and gps stuff gets worked out.
[Fascinate Android Development] ekowanz:
im testing the 19-12... use the setcpu to set the clock or not?
[Fascinate Android Development] SnrSuave:
Tried the test kernel but had problems with bluetooth. It wouldn't connect to my devices. Scanning for them wouldn't work either.
[Fascinate Android Development] ktez:
I'm currently using the 12-19 kernel and my battery drops like a rock with this. Anybody else notice this? Is there a SetCPU setting that would help? I'm using conservative scaling with minimum set at 200.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
For those with battery "dropping"....

Something I've noticed with my phone is that certain battery percentages drop faster than others (for me, especially the 90-100 range). Maybe it's just me though.
[Fascinate Android Development] ludevious:
I've noticed that certain BLN apps will cause the system to prevent from sleeping. If you have any type of notification with the bottom soft keys, check the battery history using spare parts our similar app.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
Might be just be (and the bloat that I removed), but is anyone else noticing not being able to add contacts? My contacts app doesnt register the new contact (ie, it's not in the list...)

[Fascinate Android Development] jamesbdh:
Same here. I falshed back to 1.98 and problem solved.
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
After installing v12.19.10 test build, navigation looses GPS signal after about 3 min of usage. Turning GPS off/on and killing apps several times, allows to get it back again, but it repeats after same 3 minutes.

Flashed DJ05 stock and jt1134 1212 and everything works fine. I guess it started with last OC build.

geeknik, could you tell us what do you need to pinpoint problem. I only know how to pull logcat information. Is there anything else that might help?

By the way just installed v12.20.10. It has same problem with GPS buttons as I reported before.
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesbdh:
Agreed. All kernels since 1.98 seem to have connectivity issues with GPS, Wifi, and BT. This included 12/20. I flashed back to 1.98.

Love your kernels and would be willing to help out if you need help pinpointing the problem as well(not extremely technical but literate).
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
I wish I could still get a hold of 1.98

I don't think I have it any longer. :-(
[Fascinate Android Development] ibegary:
Check your sd card under clockworkmod folder.

if you downloaded on rom manager it should still be on you're sd card
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
I must have cleared out my folder or something because it was empty. Oh, well.

What is in 1.98 that is not in 1.54? I never really looked at the change log.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
It has custom boot animation support for one thing. Can't remember if the old version had bln either.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacking:
Just tested the gps with google service and standalone checked and I got an almost instant lock and turned off after 5 min with a constant lock! I guess my phone just likes the 12/19 kernel. Thanks, and great job. This is the fastest and most stable my phone has ran!
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
Awesome! Thank you!
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
I actually had gps working on 12/19 but it broke on 12/2010. I think I'll go back to 1.98 to be honest, the newer kernels have felt faster at first but then they became more unstable for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
I need to take this back. I don't know how that happened, but turned out that I was still on v.12.19.10 when tested.

Flashed v.12.20.10. Top drawer buttons now work just fine to me.

However few interesting observations. I tested GPS on the way to work and noticed that GPS lost signal again. It happened when I stopped on the long light. Same, as before, about 3 min after navigation started. But this time GPS was able to recover once I started to move and was fine over 30 min drive.

Another thing is that while UI feel snappy, Linpack shows slowdown on the test. Not show stopper, I just wonder why?...

And another negative point is that my Wi-Fi download speed is constantly lower then 3G. :-0
[Fascinate Android Development] Skyeclad:
I've had issues with Wifi connectivity and battery usage since the later "dated" versions. I notice that if the phone sits idle it drops wifi and then doesn't regain it when the screen is woken. Also, my battery was dropping much faster.

I moved back to the last stable 1.54 version but now I get issues with audio popping in Google Listen. How is 1.98 with connectivity, battery and audio? I changed so many times, I don't remember anymore.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
The kernel page says:

How does one choose a speed? I can't find any information in this thread or elsewhere on how to set this. Since installing this kernel (first try was 12/19, just updated to 12/20) my battery life is terrible compared to stock. Would love to undervolt and see if I can get it back!
[Fascinate Android Development] devlp1213:
you don't choose speed it scales automatically
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
It should just switch automatically based on demand. It's already undervolted compared to stock, like it says. You could try using setcpu for more fine grained control, maybe. I think on the older builds it had better battery life than stock but I never did anything scientific to test it.
[Fascinate Android Development] devlp1213:
I went from 30hrs give or take an hour to having about 20-22hrs of batt life but newer builds feel more responsive and I still get more than enough to get through the day
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
I have to agree here regarding the battery life. Still an excellent kernel.

Confusion

Not a total noob, but new to Fascinate. whats the difference with DJ05 / DI01? Can someone shine the light on me?:confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] xisintheend:
I'm a total noob and new to Fascinate but I have been learning for about 10 days now. The DI01 is the software that comes on the new Fascinates you buy today and DJ05 is a leaked update not yet officially released by Verizon. Rumor is it's suppose to fix a few things before they release Froyo (Android 2.2) for this phone. Here is a link to the change log and the leaked files.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869990

Also careful to only flash kernels, roms, themes with the version that you have. Should be DI01 stock if you didn't odin the DJ05.
[Fascinate Android Development] imneveral0ne:
way to be helpful. most people would have made a smart ass remark about searching or just not helped at all!
[Fascinate Android Development] uslacson1:
I've tried out all test releases, 12-19 and 12-20 works great but i can only get 9 to 12 hours of battery life, only issue i've noticed is that open applications do not automatically close mignt still need to use auto task killer.

I've reverted back to 1.54 stable version for now, the best one if you want a longer battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] vegittoss15:
Geek, just wanted to let you know I've found a small issue in the 12/19 and 12/20 kernels.

Toggling the GPS on/off through the notification bar repeatedly makes it stop reporting after a few tries. Also, leaving the phone on longer than 10+ hours makes the kernel grind to a halt.

Another, smaller issue I've found is actually in the ROM manager (so I don't know if this actually has to do with the kernel). The ROM manager stops pulling the list of available roms after a while with the TEST kernels. Will do further testing if you want me to.

Thanks for the great work so far! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] thachizzle:
What's better, the stable 1.54 version or the 1.98 version everyone seems to like?

What's the difference? Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] mattstakilla:
from what most are saying they like the 1.98 better. Havn't tried it myself but I will take a look when I get off work.
[Fascinate Android Development] vegittoss15:
It's not called that anymore, but there are significant improvements from what I've tested. There are a couple of issues I've found and documented above though, so make sure you have a backup before trying anything. (Although to be fair, my issues aren't really likely to cause a system crash)

Hey guys, just FYI - according to Geeknik's Fascinate page, he has abandoned this project, as well as the device. No more stupidfast kernels will be released.

Guess I'll be checking out JT's kernels now. This is really disheartening :(.

Seems he's frustrated with Samsung's support for this phone, and I can't disagree with him.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
99.9% of his source was jt1134's anyway. The rest was heavily reliant on placebos.
[Fascinate Android Development] vegittoss15:
I remember geek saying a while back that he forked off of jt's code and was significantly differnt. He did mention that he sends jt patches whenever he finds them though.
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Not sure what it is, but his kernels definitely are more responsive than anything else I've tried, although I haven't tried voodoo5 yet. Well, 1.96 works fine for me so I'll stick with it for now. Maybe it's a placebo, maybe it's not. Either way these kernels wouldn't mean too much after Froyo hits anyway, so it's not a huge loss. Hopefully at least a couple good devs stick with the Fascinate though, or else I'm going to feel really dumb for buying this instead of a Droid X. At least it plays Dungeon Defender like butter...

Bluetooth Issues

I know people have stated problems with Bluetooth and the test builds, but I'm running SF v1.23 because I'm still on a DI01 rom. I was able to get the phone paired with my bluetooth, however I can't get it to connect afterwards. I really hate to go back to stock kernel and I don't want to go the voodoo route again, but was hoping there might be a fix or something else for a DI01 rom Fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
I downgraded from the 12/20 kernel to 1.54 the other day and was surprised to find today that my phone is no longer sending or receiving either calls or text messages! Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm wondering if I have to re-register with verizon or something, but I don't know how to do that (menus somewhere or some *... number I need to dial?)

I did some searching but couldn't find anything...probably just missed it.

Any help would be great!

Edit: Re-installed 12/20 and the phone is working again but I'd really like to use 1.54 as the battery life seemed way better. Unless the better battery was just because the phone portion wasn't using any juice... :P

Were you mixing up D01 firmware with a DJ05 kernel or vice versa?

Remember, you can't mix the two.

I found that going to CWM and clearing the battery after fully recharging really increased my battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] BeeDubs:
You mean clearing the battery stats? Did you fully charge with the phone off, and then reboot into CWM?
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Negative, both 1.54 and 12/20 are DJ05.

Will try to clear the stats after next charge to sere if the poor life is just a display issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaze105:
I actually charged it while it was on (in airplane mode for faster charge) and then rebooted into CWM.

When I applied different kernels (1.54, to 12/20, back to 1.54) my battery life was insanely low. After clearing stats, it increased it back a lot.

So is SetCPU needed for the stable StupidFast kernel?
