Using Eugene's MacnutR1 Froyo build, linpack scores are ranging in the low 14's, my best previous score on eclair, various roms using any lag fix was around 9. If this is any indicator, lag should not be an issue in froyo.

Benchmarks have nothing to do with it.
The indicator of need for a lagfix is whether or not Samsung will switch the file system from RFS to EXT2/4.

I was thinking exactly that as I typed my last reply. I'm not sure what file system Eugene's Macnut utilizes, but I'm an optimist and hope samsung would not use RFS as they did with eclair. IMHO ota updates are only good to fill in holes in code that the devs already have, as the performance the custom roms and kernels provide far surpasses anything I've seen from tmo and samsung.

Whats best?

Im looking for the fastest ROM and kernal.. as of right now i am using eugenes vibrant9 with jacs OC and ryanza's OCLF and getting a quadrant score of 2600... is there a better setup i could use? Even tho i know the quadrant score doesnt really matter a whole lot.. but does anyone know of anything better?

first of all - stop worrying about quadrant scores. it's all about how the device runs in all circumstances.
I would really suggest checking out some of the Froyo ROMs.
I would personally recommend Onyx or Axura. Extremely fast and smooth and also great battery lives.
Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Try axura, link in my signature.
like i said.. i know quadrant score doesnt mean much.. im scared to get a 2.2 ROM because i wont ever b able to get back to 2.1.. and if i mess up the process of imstalling the 2.2 i cant just use ODIN to go back to stock

You can always go back to 2.1 if you don't like 2.2. Just Odin back to JFD, root, install Rom Manager and flash anything you want after.
What exactly is JFD? I see alot of it.. just never knew what it is.. stock?

Stock Odin file before any updates.

Axura 2.0.4. is beyond belief. Master updates regularly and they keep getting better & faster. Lagfixes are goofy. They seem to start doing odd things like rebooting randomly. I've had the least issues with Voodoo. Linpack 13.192 which is respectable. Yeah, Quadrant means nothing in the real world IMHO...

Axure capabilities

What is capable on the axure ROM?.. I know Oclf is not runnable on it.. found that out the hard way.. bricked my phone.. but is JACS OC/UV usable on it? With voodoo? Or some other lagfix
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Do you really need a fix?
Well i got use to having lagfix and an OC on a diff ROM and got use to the blazing speeds... dont get me wrong axure is pretty quick by itself.. but slower then what im use to
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
don't know about lagfixes because i never really used them, but i know people have flashed some of eugene's oc/uv kernels successfully with axura. any oc/uv kernel needs to be 2.2, though, so, for example, tw core will not work.

Voodoo color/sound

Still fairly new at all of this, was wondering if it is possible to overclock and do anything with voodoo color/sound using the superclean rom? Or would I need to change roms?

roms have nothing to do with that..its kernels...if you are on eclair you can use overclock/undervolt kernels some of which build in voodoo sound/color
on froyo there is none of that until source is released
Thank you, that clears things up nicely...

So basically:
OC and voodoo color/sound vs. the benefits of Froyo...
Decisions, decisions...
OC not a big deal, phone feels damn fast now running DarkRevenge, is color/sound cool?

if you listen to music through headphones then yeah voodoo sound is worth it...color only works on brightest settings
oc i could really careless...undervolt...well thats something i miss from eclair
but ill take froyo as is over the most decked out eclair any day
Yeah, I'm sticking with Froyo I believe... Although the headphones thing would be neat... Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Next Rom I should Flash?

OK, so it seems that Axura Roms are not being updated anymore! I am currently using Voodoo Axura 2.3.1.3 Rom and Kernel version 2.6.32.9 with KB5 Modem.
I would like to move on to a new Rom. Close to what Axura was. I like all the
custom stuff the Axura Roms had. So, I am asking what do you guys think would be the next best Rom for me to move on to? Must have Voodoo and no major bugs!
and things like Voodoo sound and themes would be a plus! thanks for the info and the help!
Peace out~

I'm using Bi Winning with the Bullet kernel. Fast as hell with great battery life and that's with it OC'd to 1.48ghz. No bugs at all, and there are several themes for it listed in the rom's op.
I switched to trigger from axura and I must say I'm very happy. Running it with overstock kernel and have all those extras you want and a nearly flawless vibrant.

I personally love Simply Galaxy. IMO best for my use. The blue black theming is great and its a super fast stable ROM.
They are all great. Try them out and see what you like. If you find that you like one developers releases or a dev team consider donating to them. If you want my personal opinion check out my sig.
On a side note wouldnt it be funny if someone named a ROM "ur mom" haha. People would be all "im currently flashing ur mom" & "i just flashed ur mom" lol haha.
- Or just "Rom"

The best advice is to try the roms for yourself. Everybody has different opinions on all the different roms there is. I know its time consuming but just read through their threads and see what the people running the roms have to say and just take the plunge and find out if you like it or not.

Kept Axura Rom but flashed a Overstock Kernel. Love the Voodoo sound and the overclock to 1.2g. Anyone know how the voodoo color works? Lol thanks

You have to turn the screen brightness all the way up. Doesn't do much with auto brightness enabled.

Overstock is good.

GB leak vs Froyo com rom 2.1

I tried GB and got a quadrant score of 840. I reverted back to comRom 2.1 and consistently get 1650 in quadrant. What am I missing here? Isn't GB supposed to be faster?
If its going to be like this for the official release of GB...no thanks, I'll stick to my CR 2.1. Anyone else feel this way?

What you are seeing is the contrast between the voodoo ext4 (comrom) & the Samsung stock rfs file systems. Even GB rfs pales next to voodoo'd froyo. Plus, with comrom you are benefiting from all of the tweaks & under-the-hood customizations from an excellent dev community.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
CM7 will get you over 2000 on quadrant (not that it matters) and kindly post your questions in the appropriate location.
I'm stuck on com rom bc data no longer works on gb for us non verizon users. And there's no way yet to get into dun mode.

I see. Comrom is where its at.
Side note. Is there a guide to the TSM parts options and how to use all of them?

I'm on verizon but I was just wondering, is it only EC09/modem or any GB such as CM7 also?
Quadrant scores are and always have been entirely useless. While, yes, RFS is slower than EXT4, it's nowhere near 50% slower... it's simply that Quadrant doesn't work right with RFS.
Oh, and there's also the fact that you can double or triple your quadrant score with a single ADB command. Needless to say, that doesn't actually make your phone run faster.
