I am only posting this so those who like to try new things can try this setup. It is not for everyone, but my phone is amazingly snappy, apps are opening pronto, and my battery/gps are perfect.
I am currently running Eugenes Ginger Clone R2:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=144
Notes: this does not have the shortcuts in the notification bar and also does not have swype (note the name of the ROM.... dont complain about this).
After my initial boot and getting everything all setup I flashed the JL4 stock + voodoo, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
With Eugene and supercurio combined the only way I am going to shift from this is if they themselves update, or Cyanogen comes out... stronly suggest trying this out. Be certain you are comfortable with this before trying it. You will need to disable voodoo before flashing anything else.
to disbale, go to the sdcard/voodoo folder and create a file named "disable voodoo" (without the "'s") and then reboot... it will then convert back from EXT4.
HUGE THANK YOU TO EUGENE AND SUPERCURIO - my phone might as well be the Nexus S (but with an SD Card and Gorilla Glass)!!
Anyone else running this? Do you agree that others should try it?
Not what I'm running, but lets make this a "my ideal setup until CM" sorta thread, which is how I read the subject line at least.
So far, my favorite themed setup was Frobuntu, but I had some issues with system processes chewing up CPU. So now, Blackhole. 1.1 was great, just flashing 1.2 now. Customizable - I love that. Just pick what I want in ROM Manager and it loads up. No hunting down extra files to flash or ADB push, dealing with megaupload, hotfiles, etc. I think I'm staying here until we get a CM or true AOSP build.
This setup sounds like one I've seen before if I could only remember where I saw it ohh I'm running it and it is fast but I put swype back in it I like the speed of swype the jl4 modem wasn't giving me the best connection but jl1 is pretty good but my phone is running fast as fast can be

j/k, did you flash the add-on Swype from the R series roms? If not, which Swype did you use? I'm going to grab an old .apk on my pc later today probably.
I used the swype.apk from the thread I cant remember which thread it was but I'm using naked swype the black back drop and white letters it looks amazing with the black froyo theme msg morph
And punctuation if for rich people lol

Bionix Fusion 1.2 w/ CoreR 1.2 GHZ + OCLF = fastest thing since lighting = average 2900 quadrant score. This setup was unfathomably fast, however, when reinstalling apps with TB i had problems, as i came from a 2.2 build.
Doesn't Ginger clone already have stock JL4? And super I/O? So I just need voodoo?

i'm using Eugene's Ginger Clone R2 with JL4+voodoo kernel with JL1 modem.
I upgraded this from ttabbal's dragrom which i injected AOSPish 1.1 into, with BLN. I might change GC R2 over with ttabbal's dragon kernel and use BLN.
But right now, "stock" kernel is fine.

Been getting this (at least) for a while already with Axura + Voodoo. Maybe typical for many of the popular roms when combined with Voodoo. When the 2.2.1 based ROMs become stable on the Vibrant, combining that with Voodoo might make me want to change. Other than that, short of GB Stable becoming available I probably won't see the need to change.
ooo i was flashing a wrong VOODOO not the one you told me to, disabling the old one and gonna flash the new one and tell you results.

As of 30 mins ago I am running Nerov1 by Team Whiskey and JL4 stock + Voodoo by Supercurio, can I say I am done with flashing till stable Gingerbread ROM is available
Once again, thank you to all the devs that put their own time into cooking ROM's, kernels, etc. for the Galaxy S, Samsung should really give up Galaxy S branding to XDA devs, so far Samsung have shown zilch interest to stand up by their promises and product.

This is probably what you want. FYI I highly recommend the excellent (and oft-recommended by others) xtrSENSE. You don't have to use any of it's advanced features you don't want; it comes like this already:
Default ROM Configuration:
You do not need to run any scripts unless you would like to change the following default configuration:
dalvik.vm.heapsize: 24m
min free memory values: "balanced" (1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,38400)
CPU Overclocked: Min-245760 Max-710400
CPU Governor: Ondemand
Just In Time Compiler (JIT): Off
Cache Location: Cache2cache On
Apps2sd: Off
Userservice and battery tweak: Off
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cache2Cache is a tweak zach.xtr (the ROM's author) created which moves the Cache to a different internal memory partition, which frees up another 40MB or so of internal memory for apps without using Apps2SD.
It's still Sense and it's identical to Stock in the ways that matter, and it runs beautifully. It's also very user friendly to those new to using some ROM's advanced features and you can change the overclock settings.
Further, back to your original question, IMHO (and at least some people agree) the overclock kernel xtrSENSE and some other 2.1-based ROMs use work better than the CFS I linked to at the top of this post.

FWIW, I have tried running the CFS kernel on xtrSENSE (which is close to stock) and it froze hard (battery pull required) after about a day. It did it again after about another day, and I finally went back to the default Zanfur kerne. I would stay away from CFS on stock, xtrSENSE or xtrROM.

I just did the following:
1. Flashed [ROM] HTC Eris March 2011 OTA Stock ROM - v2.41.605.6
2. Flashed engtools3.zip referenced in the first post in that thread to re-root.
3. Using QtADB I installed SetCPU for Root Users [2.1.1a] Dual Core Madness 2/27/2011.
4. I ran SetCPU, performed the AutoDetect function after granting it Root Access via the SuperUser prompt, and this is the result (screenshot taken with QtADB):
Then to give further benefit of the doubt, in SetCPU I pressed the Menu soft button, then "Device Selection", "Show Other Frequency Sets" and chose to manually retrieve the Eris' overclocking speeds from the setcpu.txt file (bottom of the list of devices) on the SD card from when I used to run SetCPU eons ago.
As expected, SetCPU then shows the following:
Actually, the max was set to 528 but I tried manually setting it to 767, rebooted, and SetCPU still shows that despite what SetCPU wants to set the CPU at, it's still 528 max and 480 min.
You might not have known it but you're running an overclocking kernel of some sort. Perhaps via whatever rooting method you used. But just the act of rooting itself doesn't give you an overclocking kernel.
Alls I can say is I did it last year with the June OTA, rooted, flashed the engtools, and used whatever version of setCPU that was out then. I know I had it set to 710 and to set on boot. It stayed there, 710 max and 245 min I think. Never flashed a new kernel.

It's impossible unless HTC accidentally put an overclocking kernel on your phone, which is ludicrous. Do I believe you that you believe that's all that happened? Yes. Do I believe you overclocked with the default kernel? No. You would've been the only person to have ever done this.
There are people here who are smarter than me about these things, and the only way they have found to overclock is by flashing a custom kernel.
Ask the author of SetCPU if that was possible; I'm sure he will tell you the same thing.

I tried downloading that three times and got this:
I figured it out, though. The file extension should just be the old Microsoft Office .doc instead of the newer .docx. Amazing that Microsoft Word 2010 doesn't automatically handle this just because of the file extension.
The document says:
[FONT="]Prerequisites:
- Eris w/ any HTC/VZW release (including 1.5, all leaks V1-V3, & root-ROM)
- Install free Market app Gscript Lite (PinkVenture)
- Install free Market app EStrongs File Explorer
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
- The ROM of your choice downloaded onto your SD card in the root folder. (T2noob's PlainJaneT2 V2.0 looks good - includes the July 2010 updates.)[/FONT]

PlainJane's thread says:
This rom uses Zanfurs OC path which can be found Here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's the overclocking kernel. So my question is, did you use PlainJane? If so, you didn't "only" root the stock ROM. You rooted and then you installed a CUSTOM version of an otherwise stock ROM. That custom ROM had an overclocking kernel, therefore you were able to overclock.
That's in the document as an example but I didn't flash any ROM just the engtools.
Fixed the attached file in case anyone else wants to look at it.
Time Machine!!!
Sir_Eagle,

Good idea. Some user will find this thread and start asking you questions if they couldn't get your document open.
I just checked and the engtools3.zip that I used in my proof several posts back has the exact same hash as the hash provided in that Word document "ba944bbb80c8e1290f237429b8130f83".
The engtools3.zip doesn't touch the kernel on the phone. If you don't want to believe me, or all the other people in these and other forums that merely rooting doesn't enable the ability to overclock, then that is your issue and I'm no longer going to allow it to be mine. I have humored you as far as I am capable, I have shown you physical proof of what I have said, I even started to read the document you sent me in hopes I could find what tiny step you didn't realize you did even though you swear you didn't. If you didn't even do everything in the instructions of the document I don't know why you bothered to send it to me.
I have nothing against you, but if you're not going to show me any proof then I'm done here.
The whole point of my statement was because noone else in the Eris rooting world can overclock their phone without installing a custom kernel, and I just wanted to let you know that since you didn't seem to realize that. It's useless for you to advise people who aren't running a custom ROM to just install SetCPU (or any other oc app), so I thought I should let you know so that you don't misinform people in the future.
The burden of proof is on you, not me. I have bent over backwards to show you that what you said couldn't be the full truth.
Take care, and good luck, and see you in the other threads in more productive circumstances, I hope.

Not trying to complicate things, but I see in that thread that you say:
You'll still have some other work to do regarding overclocking (you'll need to get the setCPU app from the Market; if you want to o/c higher than 710MHz, you have to flash Zanfur's OC patch).

Does that mean that with SetCPU that you can overclock at least some with the stock kernel? If so then I eat my words and apologize to Sir Eagle!

No, you are/were spot-on... I think the confusion here is that I was trying to tell people to get (and pay for) setCPU from the Market (vs. getting it for free somewhere (unless they were XDA members)). I was just trying to bolster what the setCPU author was saying at the time (telling various ROM devs to stop distributing his app without permission and that folks should either become XDA members or pay for it on the Market).
I didn't separate the thoughts re. setCPU and having to flash Zanfur's kernel very well (I was, admittedly, very green in the gills back then...not saying I'm still not, mind you ).
But I'm pretty sure SirEagle flashed the overclock patch since we discussed that in the thread and its in his original .pdf document he posted. Since it really was/is easy to do, I'm sure its easy to forget that one did it too.
I just came across this thread tonight and it rang a little bell...so, I hopped in my "time machine" and found the old thread (I actually remember that night very well, I *think* it was a very hot Sunday and I had played soccer earlier that evening and was a little fuzzy-brained, lol (all I really wanted to do was chill-out instead of writing-up those instructions...but I was glad I did afterwards--it was fun ).

Oh, okay, I understand. Thanks, again!
It's funny how we can remember all sorts of details. I remember a lot of details like that, too.
Apologies to mods if there is already an answer somewhere here, but I looked and couldn't see anything directly related.
This is my first post so I wanted to say thank you to all the contributors and developers here, this is truly an amazing place. I just recently decided to try rooting my phone for the first time and flashing trigger3.2 using using the CWM app; all the developers and forum members who had a hand in any of these products- you rock! I can't believe how much better my phone looks and performs! And unbelievably- the GPS works now! I never thought I'd see the day....
My question is this:
Now that I have the Trigger3.2 ROM (KB5) installed, is there any reason for me to keep using the Voodoo Control Plus app I paid for? I am worried that a) I don't need it, given the voodoo kernal in the ROM, and b) that using it might TARFU the ROM...
I use the app, no worries. It causes no harm, only beauty for your ears.
Agree. Although it has a voodoo enabled kernel for lagfix, it does not have the voodoo sound drivers that come with voodoo control app +.
Thanks, much appreciated.
I've been thinking the same thing
The app will always ensure you're on the latest version of voodoo sound. Use it, it's worth it.
hey guys quick question what do i use to put voodoo on stock voodoo b/c i use zeam anyways and i just want to see what speeds i get and mess around with somethings but just not sure how to get the raw voodoo.

get a voodoo kernel like overstock, dragonmodz, bali
pretty much all kernels have voodoo i think
yup. Also there are some stock kernel with just voodoo added, so you'll basically be running stock just the added effects of voodoo with no other customizations like BLN, Overclocking, etc. There should be a thread with all the kernels in the vibrant bible i think.
thanks i wasnt sure if it was that easy.
I like the custom kernels but the voodoo conversion seems to do more harm than good sometimes, are there any cons to just not converting it?
Currently the difference is more placebo than real gain. My suggestion is to clear cache/dalvik and try out stock kernel for a few days, then try a voodoo kernel and compare them day 1/1 day 2/2 etc. I decided to stick with the stock kernel since it was working fine for me and it didn't mess up my screen with that voodoo color crap.
Are you referring to the voodoo lagfix?
No, there's no cons to not using it. I find my phone actually works better with it off.
The only con is that your phone is gonna run slower than it would if it had voodoo on it, also your gonna have a lower quadrant score, but that doesnt really mean anythinng. i dont recommend voodoo lagfix, but i do recommend voodoo sound
Aye, I've been running without the lagfix enabled for a while and I don't really regret it. Much less hassle for a flash-aholic.
