Introducing OTB (only the brave) overclocked voodoo5 kernels. These kernels are for DJ05 only. If you want an overclocked kernel you should be able to find what you want here. These kernels are built from jt1134's and supercurio's latest commits.
Not everyone will be able to run all of the overclocks I have listed. In fact only a select few will be able to run the 1250 and 1300 mhz kernels.
Use these kernels at your own risk. I am not responsible if something goes wrong and you break your phone. I am more than willing to try to help you out in the event you do as are most of the people on IRC.
If you so desire these kernels can be run with voodoo disabled. If you are unsure about how to disable voodoo then you should probably not be running these kernels tho.

OTB 1.1 has fix for missing bitmaps in voodoo cwm and some updates to voodoo. What has not changed is clocks and voltages. If you were unable to run at a certain speed before you probably won't be able to handle it now either. For more information check my github.

Big thanks go to jt1134, supercurio, geeknik, saps, MrThrax, Wilshyre, Bryan, and the many testers that have helped me along the way. Without the help of all the great people in the #samsung-fascinate channel I wouldn't have been able to do this.
Hope you enjoy them. If you feel like donating link is below.
Here are some more kernels I have built. The ul kernels are using the settings adrynalyne used for his comavolt kernels. Which is basically 100mv less than stock for the settings from 100mhz to 800mhz. The sv kernels are all using stock voltages. These kernels are double in size because there is a kernel for recovery included that is at stock clocks and voltages. This is to help prevent you getting locked out of recovery in case your phone can not handle some voltages or clocks I have used in these kernels. Hopefully it is never needed but just think of it as a fail safe (Thanks to JT for the idea and instructions on how to do that). This will probably be the last of these kernels. Next should be aosp when that is ready. Hope you enjoy them and remember flash at your own risk.

Thanks, nemesis! The kernels are fantastic and are the best option for anyone looking for that extra boost in performance. If you're interested in oc I highly recommend you try these kernels, starting with the lower speeds and going higher in increments to see what your phone handles best. These have the latest and greatest cwm recovery for voodoo 5. Just remember not to flash this over any other voodoo unless you're already running voodoo 5. If on anything else you should disable voodoo first and then flash and re-enable voodoo via the awesome recovery from jt1134.
Thanks again to Nemesis2all and all the great devs in irc. You guys make android so much better.
Awesome. Running 1300ov since my phone didn't much like 1300sv. Great job nemesis. Love the speed. hopefully the ov kernel isn't too battery hungry.

Excellent nemesis2all seriously what a menu something for everyone!
Tried 1200ul like you suggested. Didn't work very well trying to scroll through my home screens quickly. The phone wigged. So I'm back to 1200lv. Still love it

Is setcpu required to get the full overclock? What performance governors are enabled and which do you recommend?
1200 lv seemed fine on my phone, but aside froma linpack increase, I can't say it was much different from jt's 12/13

Setcpu is not required but I recommend using it. Conservative by default. People testing have noticed better performance on Interactive. Other than benchmarks you will not see much of a difference in day to day use from jt's 12/13.
great work nem! thanks

1.3Ghz-sv scales properly
The ul 1200 kernel is working beautifully for me. Fast and great battery life - what more could someone ask for?
I tried lv1200. It was stable for a few hours.....and then when i opened games and google navigation, my phone started freezing up. I switched to lv1100 and now i'm stable. I guess lv1100 is my limit.
Should I clear out cache in my voodoo folder? it's been built up too much. do i use cwm recovery or remove them manually in sd folder?

I would leave it there unless you really need the space. I would definitely leave the logs in place for voodoo. Can help if you run into problems with it.
I'm glad people are enjoying them, and that most can find an overclock their phone can handle.
I will try to update these twice a week. Until the next big thing comes out. Which might be sooner than I figured.
I guess some phones have to be born so lucky eh? hahaha
1300 sv working great! Thanks a bunch!

Not sure if this was ever asked anywhere on one of the kernel threads.
Is it possible to have similar optimizations to the Voodoo 5 kernel just as the StupidFast kernels do?

I have tried a couple of times to build some stupidfast voodoo5 kernels. I haven't had much luck tho. I'm sure it could probably be done, but the times I've tried it has just been a quick and dirty mash up.

Yeah, does anyone know if this really exists? I couldn't find such a kernel anywhere. Just was hoping to try it out before the Nexus S is here
Team whiskey, donator section
What other perks can be found there? And is DoW really that good? Better than Core 1.2GHZ for 2.1?
Support them and find out
I tried Overstock which is amazing and today i deciced to try DoW. After flashing, lagix was on, setcpu was min 200 max 1400. Did a benchmark with quadrant and the highest i scored after 3 test over a period of about an hour was 2028. when running overstock, i scored 2080. and that was running at 1.2ghz.
dont know if i have to wait a certain amount of time before benchmarking but i didnt get the results i wanted first time around with DoW. Plus it was giving me problems with rebooting into recovery from the home screen. would pause on the shut down screen and had to pull battery.
Flashed back to overstock and my problems were gone
also im using a vibrant with bionix-v 1.3.1
I originally flashed DoW as an *optional*at your own risk* Bonus Download with Nero v5 although I'm pretty sure it was Nero v4 and DoW2.2.1 at that time. But anyways heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907347
**Tip: Just thought I'd check and yeppers! Both links to Nero v5 and the DoW kernel are in the Bible. Sometimes a little deeper searching might help you find ur answer.** Good luck!
I know there is a lot of kernel / Rom combos out there now, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good one that would give me pretty decent battery life. I'm currently using times_infinity's kernel with superclean rom. The battery life is meh at best imo; great speed however.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks,
Kal
This is a very subjective question. Results vary from device to device. The best thing to do is experiment yourself. There's no harm in asking I guess but you will more than likely find out that what one person experiences is different from what another person experiences.
Also, two more things: 1) You are posting this in the wrong forum. Try General. 2) There are lots posts on this already.

I hear good things about sc 2.9.2 with times_infinity's comavolt kernel.
Ask your questions in Q&A next time. Not only is it a rule but you'll also get a lot more responses.

Many people have had success with the comavolt kernel or pbjt UV 100 with nameless v3. I read a report of 30 hours.
Keep in mind tho you cannot have everything. There will always be a reaction to every action. More speed less life or more life less speed.

Any ron and any kernel will give you about the same battery life....... there's never a massive difference. If you don't care about performance any simple UV kernel is fine. I am running of kernel 1.3 ghz and battery is the same.
My bad for posting in this area, I thought I was in general.
As for performance, that really is not a HUGE deal for me, pretty much anything is a upgrade from the stock crap USCC put out...
As it stands now, phone being completely idle without any involvement from me whatsoever, i'm losing about 5% battery life per hour; which doesn't seem very normal?
Since this thread will probably get moved to Q&A, I'll just reply here instead of starting a new thread on more or less the same subject.
Anyway, can anyone shed any light on why there's such a difference in battery life between 2.2 and what we're were able to get on 2.1?
On DJ05/DL09, using JT's 1/23 undervolted kernel and a stock debloated rom, I was getting upwards of 72 hours on a charge. Now, on again, a stock but debloated rom, I struggle to get 24 hours on any of the currently available undervolted kernels. Why the difference?
I don't appear to be seeing any battery-life benefit from the latest kernels. On the stock EB01, I has been getting pretty much the same 24 hours. Now, with undervolted kernels and underclocked to 800mhz max, I'm still getting about 24 hours. I really miss getting 3 days per charge and not having to worry about toting a charger around with me just to get through a day.
I would suggest any undervolted kernel with any rom (possibly Superclean 2.9.2).
Use Set CPU and change max frequency to 800MHz from 1000MHz as you wont find much difference in performance.
Superclean and underclocked eb01 to 800mhz

This is kind of exactly what I was getting it. My battery life seems horrid going to 2.2. Curious, what app are you using to monitor battery life?
I had the same experience going from stock and dj05 to super clean. Right out of the box I had 40 hours of moderate usage, and dj05 was at 40% after two days of moderate usage.
Now with sc2.9.2 with jt's ec10 kernel and eb01 radio, I get 13 hours with losing more battery while in sleep.
Yea, I'm really close to going back to 2.1 DJ05/DL09. On 2.2, I had been holding out for kernel source to be available so the devs could put together undervolted kernels. But now that that's happened, and not only am I not seeing any improvement, but I'm now underclocking just to make it through 24 hours, it just doesn't seem worth staying on 2.2.
For example, I started this morning with a full charge. I've made or received two phone calls, totaling 16 minutes. I've checked my e-mail a few times, and I VNC'd into a computer for no more than 2 to 3 minutes. I'm now at 32% remaining after 13.5 hours. At that rate, it'll be stone dead by 20 hours. And to get this, I have it clocked down to 800mhz, and 200mhz max when the screen is off.
I had been getting a solid 24 hours on the previous stock kernels - not undervolted and not underclocked. What gives?
Screw it, I'm flashing back to 2.1.
Less than 3 hours, my phone sat, unused, screen off, clocked down to 200mhz, and the battery lost another 15%. Complete nonsense. In no possible way is FroYo worth this.
More than 5% per hour, on an idle phone, on an undervolted kernel and underclocked down to 200mhz.
Still trying to figure this out
Hey guys; I've read lots but I'm not really getting a couple of things. First, I don't actually know what I have (except that it's Froyo 2.2.1) because I did do a full flash using SC or some equivalent so I'm going to post what I have. My question is: what could I change with this setup (which is running fine) to improve battery performance? From what I'm reading, I probably only need to update a kernel or something. Please advise; what would you change about this set-up to try to get more batter life on a VZW Samsung Fascinate:
H/W: I500.04
F/W: 2.2.1
Baseband: S: i500.04 V.EB01
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: SCH-I500.EB01
just wanted to ask a question about voltage control. I dont have much interest in OC or OV but would like to know if I need to change any settings in there to closely mirror the stock kernel? are they already set to a stock setting? I would rather not torch my fascinate and just let it run at what sammy designed it for....

the settings should be at stock but to be sure check if its at 1000 MHZ limit and none of the frequencies are undervolted as in they all show 0 mv.
I thought there was a slight uv to the kernel, or am I confusing it with commavolt?
Yeah comavolt is undervolted by 75mv. I just flashed 1.3 OTB and when i went to voltage control app 100-1000 MHZ were checked off and all of them were at 0 mv to begin with.
I have a question, if you are coming from Comm Rom 1.3, what link do you download to flash comavolt?

This should get you what you want, or you could just use voltage control to drop everything from 1000mhz down to -75mhz
I liked comavolt for sc 292, but like the otb 1.4 built in with kangbag 1.3. The more I play the more I find the basic settings giving me good battery life and zip. YMMV.

Your results may vary ive tried comavolt in the past with SC 2.9.2 and had no problems what so ever. Now with com ROM im running OTB kernel with no problems after settling on the ideal settings in voltage control. If you would like to go through trial and error to get the most out of your battery life go with OTB if you want the basic reliable one go with comavolt.

Thank you. I am going to check the battery life and try different setting for few days, and if it is bad or uncomfortable I will try comavolt.
I have to think there was a valid reason for the devs choosing OTB 1.4 over comavolt.
I didn't see any threads about it, so please don't beat me down if it's been posted. Here's the direct link to download it as I do not want to post links to other sites here.

I'm sure some of you remember klquicksal? Well, he's still at it! Flashing the kernel now.....
Edit: After running the kernel for over an hour, the phone seems to have a lag to it. I'd go as far as to say it lags badly. onebenadams was dead on in post #2. I'm OC'd using SetCPU as the script from smokin1337 didn't seem to get it to OC. (the script I'm referring to is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248809 ). I'm going to leave it on my phone for a while to see if it runs better after it settles into the phone.
Edit: As felacio said on page 2, OC'ing past 1296 MHz will cause serious lag as it causes the phone to constantly operate at the minimum speed allowed by the kernel.
Tried RCMIX 5.0
I flashed this kernel and it didn't seem near as fast as stock plus not near as smooth. The battery life seemed poor as well...
I read that benchmarks dropped (which I personally don't care about), but that overall the phone felt snappier. Either way, it's his first release so I expect future releases to run better. I'm going to run it for a few days and see if it settles into the phone after a bit.
This should be in the development section imo...
Which evo is this for? Cdma or gsm?

Well, I'm not a dev and I didn't make this script, so I'm not going to post in that section. Not to mention, the dev that did tweak this kernel left XDA for reasons I won't get into, so I thought posting in general to let XDA members know about this was the best way to go about it. However, if the mods feel this should be there, then they can feel free to move it.
I'm not sure if it works the GSM model. I want to say yes, but honestly, I'm not sure if there is something between the CDMA & GSM models that will cause this not to work right on GSM.

So cdma? Lol gsm and cdma kernels are completely different and if you flash a cdma kernel on the gsm version or vice versa will inevitably give you a bootloop or worse...

Well, there you go............you're better informed that I am.
Can't find much info on this one but I bet it's like all the other "falsely advertised" 2.3.4 kernels/mods out there in that you can't OC on a 2.3.4 kernel. I've seen a lot of "OC... works on 2.3.4" and what they really mean is that you can OC on a 2.3.3 kernel and it just "works" (without overclocking) on 2.3.4. Stupid, I know. I don't believe there is any way to OC a 2.3.4 kernel as of yet, but my guess is they are getting close now that the source is available.

Honestly, I'm still at work and I haven't gotten to play with it much. I get off in a few minutes, so I'll play with it some when I get home. There is a definite lag on the phone running this kernel, though.
I'm on Synergy 457 and flashed the RCkernel 5.0.
Overclocking is broke. Anything above 1.296 gets stuck at the lowest value your phone is clocked to. Nothing above that seems to work. That is why its very laggy when overclocked.

Yup, you're right.......reducing the OC eliminates the lag completely. Good call.......

Update: You can OC up to whatever your phone allows if you set the minimum CPU speed as high as the maximum (using SetCPU, but a script may work, too). Just set a custom profile so when so when the screen is off, the CPU speed is at a minimal level to save your battery.
For now, anyway.......

Overclocking is broke. Anything above 1.296 gets stuck at the lowest value your phone is clocked to. Nothing above that seems to work. That is why its very laggy when overclocked.

Yep. Daz wadeye said. You cannot overclock 2.3.4 currently. When you can, the dev forum will light up with kernels. So far, only these non-legit claims that say they can OC 2.3.4, only when you try them, none can truly overclock a 2.3.4 ROM.

It's not completely broken....I'm OC'd at 1.3 with this kernel now right using SetCPU. If you go any higher than 1.3, it lags terribly because as felacio stated, it seems to run at whatever the minimum speed you have SetCPU set to.
Using SetCPU, I can set the maximum and minimum speed to anything between 1.2 and 1.7 and it works fine, but obviously you aren't going to get good battery life doing that. You can set a custom profile so when the screen is off, the phone is underclocked, but if you use the phone a lot (like I do), setting the minimum speed that high will drain your battery quickly.
However, with this kernel if you use SetCPU and go to only 1.3, the phone is OC'd (even if it's just a little bit). I have it mine at 1.3 using the ondemand governor and a customer profile set to underclock when the screen is off.
I had been having alot of issues with battery drain so I just Odined back to 2.1, formatted my internal and external sd cards and rooted my phone. I've been using 2.1 for a couple of weeks and I can't stand how sluggish the stock rom is. So I'm back on the hunt for a custom rom. I'm looking for a Stable rom in which everything works normal. I need it to be speedy and at this point I don't care what version of android the rom is. I found this only to be disappointed that the multiupload link to the rom is down... Any ways im just looking for a normal looking stockish rom that isn't as gaudy any of the team toxic stuff but might have the same feature sets and stableness to go along with it. Sorry if this is to long.
if you like stock, you may want to just apply the Voodoo lagfix to your phone. That should solve your sluggishness.
Well the only thing I like about stock is that everything works and a better battery life lol. Other than that I miss all the features of custom Roms so I wouldn't mind a 2.2 or a 2.3 rom as long as its stable, quick and everything works.
What rom were you on before? I've only tried a few roms since I've gotten a vibrant and have felt that the vibrant cm7 nightlies are pretty stable. I would combine with eugene's vibrant stock kernel for good battery life. Some good combinations you may want to try out:
CM7 + eugene's vibrant kernel
ICS Euphoria + Kiss 8.2
CM9 + Kiss 8.2 / or Subzero kernel
ICS is actually quite stable now. There are a few kinks here and there, but its just as good as 2.3.7. I haven't looked into the 2.2 roms so I don't know. Hope this helps.
The last thing I was using was Euphoria but I had serious battery issues, it would last me maybe 6 hours tops =/
If you're looking for something stable and completely functional you should try a 2.2 custom rom. Personally I prefer Bionix 1.3.2. I'm always coming back to this rom when I need my phone to be perfect.

Check out Fishman's mods. He's modded Bionix and Deranged9. I am testing an RC version of his D9 that should be released soon enough. Stable, fast, everything works and you can use any and all the 2.2 kernels to OC/UV, Voodoo,...
Themes can always be changed, so I'll take performance over gaudiness, tweak it out and then re-theme it later. ICZenwich is my ICs ROM of choice, but you'll have to go to the Rootz site to get that.
well i will recommend you to try miui rom....it is much stable fast and has good battery life....
iam using ics cm9 nightly it is quite stable for me to use it but they are giving updates constantly and day after day almost every day there is a new update
battery life of cm9 is best i have watched yet they might have used Battery Life eXtender http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257497
use miui have best features that i liked most ever......recommended latest version is 2.3.30.......i use uk build..you can use us build...
Here is my battery with ICS Zen 1.6 - Stock battery

Very fast, very stable...great battery.
Ofc, I use sio/conserv and undervolt and freeze apps I don't need also though.
(Im also supercharged)
Woodrube, Fishman's was exactly what I was looking for works great thanks a bunch. I used to use Bionix way back when and found my self going back to it constantly but I formatted my comp and phone recently and miss placed the file but this seems to work even better! Thanks again man =D

Holy crap I think I might have to give this a shot if fishman's doesn't work out to my expectation. Also I've had my phone since launch day I'm not sure how long you've had yours and I think since I've flashed my phone soooo many times and at times without charging it all the =/ it's degraded the life of the battery as well as thrown the calibration completely off. Yes I have tried to recalibrate multiple times as well but the only thing that gets me through the day is being on a 2.2 rom or stock.

I've had my phone for about a year and a half now
Not sure how long the phone's been out haha...but I got it
close to when the vibrant was new ^^
I used to have a lot of issues with battery life...I would maybe get 10 hours.
But after researching and trying new things...I found out a number of things to help, and now I get great life..on most roms.
A tend to keep my battery at 200 - 800 (sometimes 1000)
and undervolt accordingly
1000 -25
800 -50
600 -125
400 -150
100 -175
Ofc undervolting values differ from phone to phone.
I use subzero kernel #70
and use conserv/ sio
I tend to freeze a lot of apps with titanium backup
and use autostarts to make sure apps only start themselves when I want them to.
I use very few widgets, and make sure to kill my apps when Im done using my phone.
I also keep brightness at about 50% - 25% always...rarely at 100%
That is funny. My settings are almost exactly those. Birds of a feather my friend. Still getting used to your name over "there" but I recognized that screen shot right off.
Only difference I see in our settings is that I OC to 1200 and use smartass sometimes and conservative sometimes depending on what I am doing or testingout.
OP, check out my batter guide in my signature or stickied in the Q&A section. It has everyting you need to get the most out of your battery (even if it is an old one) for all ROMs, 2.2, 2.3.x and 4.0.x
X- I am out of thanks for the day but I'll tap yours later on when it resets.
Thanks a bunch guys I really really appreciate it. Also I hit thanks on both =D.
Edit: One last question was do you guys know how to get rid of the Bali splash screen it's pretty hideous...
It is the kernel splash screen so you would have to change it in the kernel itself. As hideous as it is, I use the splash screens for an impromptu reality check. I know if I don't see one in the right order, something is going to go haywire in a minute or two.
For me I have 3
Bootloader splash ->Gingerbread bl
Kernel Splash -> SubZero
ROM Splash -> ICZen In that order. Sure it is big and yellow but the beauty is the ROM animations.
Sidenote: If you don't the boot animation, you can drop one in /data/local and set your permissions and on boot it will show your new one w/o ever changing your original. I do this to my wife's phone alot just to freak her out. She's caught on to it now though.

hahaha, Does Subzero work well with fishman's? if so I might just go to that. Thanks again
No. Subzero is an ICS kernel.
Check out Serendipityguy's kernel bible stickied in the Dev section. It will tel you what works with what as far as 2.2, 2.3 and 4.0

I may have actually *stolen* some of my settings from your post, in fact Lol
I used to OC to 1200 and use smartass (or a modified lulzactive) but Subzero's build 70 is so smooth that I can sit at 800 with conserv and feel no lags whatsoever. I can only assume that he's using butter throughout his code lol
Any 2.1/2.2 ROM
2.3 and 4.0 are still in development ...and although stable still buggy
