Any word on the Telus JL3 Kernel? We are very excited, as you can probably tell.

I am running a KA5 build (Nero v5) Would there be any advantage for me to run the KA6?

I haven't seen it incorporated into any ROM's as of yet..

Edit: I swear every time I blink there is something new on here... ie. KA6 ROM's

KA6 Feedback

Any feedback from early adopters of Voodoo-injected KA6 kernel would be much appreciated.

I am particularly interested in any feedback as to differences noticed between stock JL5 or KA5 ROM with Voodoo-injected KA5 kernel and the new Voodoo-injected KA6 kernel.

Thanks! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Sofar no differrnce; however KA6 looks more stable and KA6 modem is superbe in 3g and 4g however I am suffering wifi digraded signals but thay is all. It is too early to say anything about battery but so far it ia as good if not better.
[Vibrant Android Development] ferhanmm:
will the ka6 + voodoo affect or change the sbl?

if so, then i will commence with the waiting
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
As far as I can say, the ka6 kermel + voodoo is what it isand does not come with boot loadee. You would need to flash new sbl.tar file wich contains boorliader to get new bootloader.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chortles:
Repartition results in Voodoo? By the way, I've been trying to get a "true stock" (no-Voodoo) by flashing your .zip (through CWM) that uses the zImage from the JL5 ROM... am I doing this correctly?

EDIT: I'm now trying to flash the "true stock" (no-Voodoo) through Odin, again using the zImage from the JL5 ROM, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... my previous "success" (in Odin) just led to the system seeming to hang up at the "Vibrant" screen, then the black screen, and if the Odin flash fails, then it just hangs at "SetupConnection" if I try again...

Speedmod vs KA6

Im running Nero v5 ROM which I understand is KA5 with the Speedmod Kernel on my Telus Fascinate T959D and its running superb

If I flash over the KA6 kernel, will I lose the Speedmod Kernel along with all the TWEAKS ??

With all these kernels around including the Voodoo injected T959D just posted by supercurio Im wondering whether which will be the best combination with Nero v5....Voodoo 5.2 lagfix is also now available...so a part noob confused

:confused:

KA7 official froyo is out wonder how long for it to be voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
stock ? faster than Voodoo ? try again ;)

I believe copied updated RFS .ko drivers from I9000 JPU - i don't know about the rest
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:
I agree lol. How hard is it to inject voodoo into a i9000 kernel that supporys ext 4?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Running Nero b2/3, using this kernel breaks haptic feedback. :( Great other than that, it is much faster than the other Vibrant stuff I have tried before. Thank you Mr SUPERcurio :P
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I got a quick question,

I am using Obsidian V3 with Voodoo Beta 5, but according to Team Whiskey it is an early beta of Voodoo 5.

Does that mean it only converts /system only like the old Voodoo, so that if I flash this kernel I would actually benefit from it (since now /system, /dbdatabase /data and /iForgot would all be ext4)?
[Vibrant Android Development] ljv:
Sorry. Haven't gone through the whole thread as I'm waiting at the checkout line. Any chance of a stock JI6? Been trying all the custom froyos but keep coming back to JI6.

[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Yes :)

Be aware that when the standard android bootanimation is played, Samsung playlogos are not run.

If you need mount to run some script at boot, there is a much better option with the support of /etc/init.d/ with the standard run-parts.
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:

Super, so if i want to disable the lagfix. I dont have to dl anything rite? Juss go to recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
For everyone asking for a Voodoo "injection" into eugene's Super IO kernel, please read supercurio's quote again:

Remember eugene stated that no lagfix is necesary with his kernel. If eugene is using updated RFS drivers, then that is the reason for the snappiness of the Super IO kernel, and Voodoo + Super IO is redundant. Voodoo would replace RFS with ext4, negating the performance increase from eugene's updated RFS drivers.

You're better off just keeping Super IO as is, or flashing stock + Voodoo 5.x if Super IO isn't fast enough for you.

I get the feeling this was more or less the "shut the hell up about froyo" update.

That and I think it's more to save their resources from doing OTA. Using Kies becomes a more less your decision whether to upgrade your phone or not. :)

No you dont have to delete it. If the rom your flashing has a voodoo, you dont have to disable it.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
i will disable it because i'm going.to stock first. But i can delete the logs right?
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
I know this is probably stupid. I'm running Nero v5 w/ KA7. If I flash KA7 + Voodoo then later decide to try a ROM that doesn't use Voodoo (but is 2.2), will I have flash a different kernel?

Pardon my newbness.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
no. just disable voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Thanks! Flashing now. That's what I thought, I just like to triple check and move slowly. I have yet to brick in any fashion so I'm always crossing my fingers. :D

Edit: OH MY GOD! It's like Nero 5 is on a cocktail of Speed and Crack! Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Everything is faster. Booting is faster, launcher is faster, my live wallpaper (Nexus S Boot Animation) is faster, even the freaking battery charge animation if faster. The French are amazing. ;)

[Vibrant Android Development] heero01:
?

i was wondering how did you put that mod that let us get are backlight to almost off in your older kernels and if you plan on bringing that back and if you would also add the voodoo sound ?
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
For those curious, here's my battery life on Nero 5 running the KA7 modem w/ Supercurio's KA7+Voodoo Kernel. As you can see, I've already frozen pretty much every app and process that I know of that uses crazy CPU cycles (like Media Hub, DRM Processes, WiFi Calling, Score Mobile (because of the widget), Beautiful Widgets, and some other stuff. I also had all unnecessary stuff off like BT, WiFi and 3G rolled back to edge. My 3G signal is a LOT stronger as it was on any other modem so I know it uses some crazy battery life. I also reset my battery stats the other day and make use of the "CurrentWidget" although I turned it off when I let the battery drain.

I have one of the first Vibrant builds and there's no telling how many times I've bump charged my battery but all in all, I think these results are great. In loss in battery is worth it to have the speed and smoothness. Also, I don't know what Supercurio did, but a lot of the skipping I'd get when playing MP3's is gone. It's not perfect, but much, much better so someone played with some clocking for sure. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
I said the same thing to myself yesterday when testing KA7 with Voodoo sound enabled kernel (Dragon). Battery life is not so good but as an audiophile like myself .. it will be hard switch back to a non voodoo sound based kernel after this. A combination of voodoo sound and PowerAmp made me love this phone once again. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Lol sounds like it but. sorry. no :D
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
As this IS the samsung official kernel (code running) I think there is no need to spot battery life changes.

Because, you know, it's the same, cannot be otherwise ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
No doubt, I just haven't tested battery life since JK6. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] sam-san:
If I have official Froyo, I should use the KA6 kernel right? I'm confused because the Official Froyo kernel is listed as KA7 in the OP.

I had stock Official Froyo KA6. I flashed this

http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959-UVKA7.tar

With ODIN, but about phone still shows up as "T959UVKA6" not KA7. Anyone else experienced this or is it just me? Did I missed something?
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
That's because the "baseband version" is the modem. Change your modem to KA7 to change that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks for posting this!

I have been on JK6 for ages and the battery life is amazing, but KA7 has a much stronger signal.

Unfortunately the battery life blows.....like as in TRULY blows. I'm down to 50% after 4 hours of medium/light usage.

Also, I am using a 1800mah battery, so I'd hate to be on the stock battery using this modem!

I have Titanium Pro and System Monitor and I can see that a during that time 11% of use has been system processes, specifically:

mediaserver 4.6%

agpsd 3.5%

sensorserver_ya 2.3%

Also I see VM Internal Process (process name "system") used 3.7%

I have tried to 'freeze' some off the processes you mentioned but can't find all of the above listed in Titanium.

Hoping you/someone can help me stop the drain as I'd like to stick with KA7 if possible because of the signal quality.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Passtschon:
Just downloaded the KA6 + Voodoo.tar

Do I need anything else in order to use Odin to flash this to my Official 2.2 Vibrant? It's rooted and has CWM flashed, but that's it thus far. I figured I'd just rather use Odin to do it all at once, as I'm having problems getting it to go into the proper CWM mode.

The only other time I've used ODIN was to put the phone back to stock. I used a .tar file and a s1_odin_20100512.pit file.

I guess my question is, how do I use ODIN to flash Supercurio's KA6.tar + voodoo onto the phone properly? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Ok .. I thought I'm the only one has battery issue with KA7. I had awesome battery life with KA5 + voodoo .. even when I was using Dragon kernel which included voodoo sound, now ever since I upgraded KA7 .. battery life is just horrible even after I switched my kernel back to stock KA7 + voodoo.

Now I'm debating whether to downgrade to KA6 or KA5 or stay with KA7.
[Vibrant Android Development] knurdle:
Just put the file in the PDA section. Don't check PIT or repartition.

The flash should be really quick, if I remember correctly, it took about 6 seconds and then it reboots.
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
I had poor data connection issues with KA5 (I live in the Seattle area) and KA6 was not so great on battery either. I've read a thread that discusses utilizing the system monitor/titanium pro apps to halt certain processes but can't quite make sense of it all.

It seems strange to me that modems would differ so drastically in battery usage...but trial and error proves that it is indeed true. I'm hoping to either iron out some of the greedy system processes, go back to JK6 or wait for KA8! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Very interesting ... yeah I'm using cpu tuner right now, just to improve my battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
Terrible battery life with KA6 also, definitely not system process related. System panel does shows no stray apps causing battery drain.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
The best thing you can do on KA7 is just keep it on edge when you aren't browsing. The signal is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger. I used to only get 1 bar of 3G at my bosses house. Earlier today I had 3.

Keep it on EDGE and enjoy good battery life. Even WiFi useage is light on battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Got your PM, I've been a little oblivious lately. ;) To me it looks like you've got stuff on you don't need. I've been out and about today, used GPS for about 30 minutes, had WiFi calling on all night, etc.

Over the past 24 hours, System Panel shows the apps with the most use as being:

WiFi Calling 5.1%

System 4.0%

System Processes 1.6%

Score Mobile .8%

Launcher .8%

Normally I keep WiFi Calling and Score Mobile frozen (minus Game Day ;)) for obvious reasons but I just felt like taking a look at WiFi Calling.

Under System Processes over the past 24 hours I have:

sensorserver_ya 0.5%

mediaserver .1%

dhd_dpc .1%

blah blah

blah blah

blah blah

agpsd .1%

Are you leaving GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth/3G on all the time? I attached two screen shots I happened to take this morning (and yes, my battery stats are correct and no, I don't believe the farce that you can "condition" a Lithium-Ion battery, that's just silly). I should also note that I started running Bionix V and the included Team Whiskey Kernel, although I'll probably try out Supercurio's Kernel in a few days after I've played some more with the ROM. Bionix V has the KA7 Kernel and Modem. I have no complaints, but bear in mind, if you're gonna leave 3G on 24/7, and WiFi on when you aren't near an AP, and GPS on even if you aren't using it, then you're gonna see higher consumption. I've been using my phone a lot today since 8AM in the most liberal manners I can think of short of watching a movie (it's now 2:20PM where I am). I have 57% battery left after being buried into Angry Birds with the volume blasting, using GPS for the heck of it, and being on 3G browsing all day when I've been out and on WiFi Calling at the office....oh, and rocking the Nexus S Live Wallpaper as well. Go figure.

Also, you don't want to freeze the processes you mentioned or kill them with System Panel (mediaserver, agpsd, sensorserver_ya). The OS needs them and will just restart them anyway. My uneducated guess is that you've either got all of your hardware on or you have some apps running in the background that may not be using CPU Cycles directly, but are running those other processes.

Edit: Also remember that a low 3G signal will DESTROY your battery life. I think one of the reasons KA7 improved my battery life is because it took me from 1 bar in the house to 3, sometimes 4 (as in the screen shots). Before there would be parts of the house that I had 3G with no bars. That will suck juice really, really fast. For example, I could go to my basement where I was getting a regular pass off between 3G and EDGE with 75% battery, work out, and walk back upstairs an hour later with 67%. Crazy. If you find yourself in a place you spend a lot of time in with 0 or 1 bar of 3G, you need to roll to EDGE. You'll have a stronger signal (since EDGE is using multiple towers and 3G just one) and you'll get better battery life.

For the record, I normally just use my phone how I want and power up when I can with wall and car chargers, but I do like to know what the device is capable of. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
I recently changed ROM to bionix V.....which is based on KA7. I had been using nero v3 which had great battery in JK6, but horrible when I upgraded to KA7 using the voodoo+ka7 on the first page if this thread.

Amazingly the battery life has been great since I flashed...phone had been off charger for 16 hours with medium use and about 2 hours of music listening on poweramp....and I have 66% left! I'm thinking I could run for about 36 hours given I won't be using the phone when I'm asleep.

So why would this modem suddenly become as good if not better battery life (not to mention far stronger signal)?

All I can think is that team whiskey are geniuses as they have produced a completely different battery experience with the same modem!
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
I'm at the 12 hour mark. WiFi Calling is on and connected, 3G is on (although I suppose the OS shuts it down when your on WiFi Calling??), Live Wallpaper is rocking, I still have 20% left.

I definitely don't have some freak phone. I've seen some incredibly crap battery life in my day. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Not sure what you guys are doing to get such awful battery life. =-O I get 24 - 28 hours with light usage. I always have 3g on, use touchdown exchange (battery hog) and have email, plume checking every hour. ;-)
