What the heck isnt voodoo supposed to give you an extremely good score? Im only getting between 900 and 1000. I got better scores with super IO.
Are you sure that voodoo is enabled? There is an app in the market you can download for free that will tell you for sure.

I dont know why everyone is so obessesed with quardrant scores. They are not accurate with our hummingbird processors. Also Voodoo doesn't give u the best quadrant scores. I usually get about 1500. I would get over 2000 with OCLF. But voodoo is much better user experience. My suggestion is not to worry so much about scores and focus on how ur phone operates. This is the true test.

I imagine you installed Voodoo for more than just a boost to your Quadrant score, right?
Anyway, it would seem to me that Voodoo is not active. However, do as post #2 says and report back. It'd also be helpful to know what kernel / ROM you are running.

My exact thoughts. I always LOL at people trying to focus on the numbers instead of the overall experience.
I'll bet voodoo isn't active. Check your voodoo folder and see if it's disabled.
I went from 900s to 1400s in Quadrant with it.

Here ya go this was brought to you not by me but another member named s15274n but now you can thank us both
Yeah its enabled, but im using stock froyo.... And another thing, when it gets to the I/O part of the test it stick on1/4 (database writes or something) for about 2 minutes before moving on.
Try clearing Quadrant's cache and see if that helps.

Quadrant is an unreliable synthetic score that doesn't mean anything. How does your phone feel?

It gives a good overlook though.
With voodoo people need atleast, 1400.
It's definitely not enabled or it's not enabled on all partitions. Check the voodoo log folder on your internal SD card and let us know the results of the conversion. Also reboot into recovery and check if it says voodoo is enabled there (if you're using one of supercurio's new kernels).
the latest incarnations of voodoo don't show you a quadrant number like they did when voodoo only did /data.
So yes, ~1100 is normal for the latest voodoo releases.

Really?
I have the new one and mine shows up as about 1500
Switched to oclf 2.2. Getting 1800+
Just got off the phone with Cleo and she said you don't have voodoo enabled. It should never hang on the first phase of I/O test, only for a bit on 3/4. Easy way to know is download the app terminal emulator and simply type mount. All partitions should show up as ext4. Voodoo is way safer than oclf btw, but as long as you are happy then that's all that matters.

Hello everyone, I just had one quick question (I'm also very new to Android in general so I don't want to do anything to make my phone un-useable). Does Setcpu work with samsung fascinate root and clockwork mod? I heard some people say theres a seperate application to underclock and overclock the fascinate, but then again i do not think they knew what they were talking about. Is there a better program than setcpu?
Sorry if this has already been posted. I know its been posted in other forums for different phones, but didn't find one for the fascinate.

setcpu is the only and the best overclocking app. If u want to be able to overclock ur phone us have to flash jt1134s 1.2ghz voodoo kernel then use can use setcpu to overclock to 1.2ghz!

SetCPU is the most popular one. You'll need root to even use SetCPU. And you'll need CWM to flash the OC Kernels. If you dont OC SetCPU is pointless
On that note.
SetCPU must be ran on conservative and with no profiles and no load on boot.
If you do reboot your phone, mine reverts back to 800, so I need to manually change it to 1200.
Do u have to set both min & Max to 1200???
no just the max

Yes, of course you are right. Actually the other day I forgot to slide sliders up from 800 to 1200 and I was getting really good battery life for like 2 hours my % only dropped 1% and I was like wow.
Im just pleased as punch that there are OC/UV kernels out, its the best of both worlds.
Actually my battery life is above average it seems; either that or my usage is below average so Im not draining it as much. I'd gladly mildly overvolt to something like 1350mV if it meant I'd be rock solid stable at say 1.4Ghz
BTW, jt I heard you might be getting out the kernel speed chase after these 1.2Ghz's? Just don't feel like chasing 1.3 or 1.4?
I am running Dirrk's D012 LV 1200 Kernel with SetCPU
Luckily, the LV runs EXTREMELY smooth on my phone..
So smooth, that for the past day now I have been able to run with "set on boot" and constant restarts on my phone..and with Profiles for Screen Off, Temp (probably wont get there), and Charging. I can say that I have had no problems with my profiles and set on boot. Then again, I don't want to contribute to hurting anyone's phone
Just thought I'd let everyone know how my phone (and potentially others) can seem to handle profiles and set on boot.

Install it, tell it to auto detect, set the max where you want, leave the min at 100, and then leave it alone.

I was hoping to get some help. I have installed jt's 1200 voodoo kernal, and I can't seem to get Setcpu to clock at 1200. It still says that the max is 800, however, on the slide it is only giving me the option to goto 528. Bellow are my facts, any help would be great!
Facts:
1. flashed jt's overclocked voodoo use clockwork, but did it through "install ROM from sd card". I am not sure if this is correct, but it seems to be running voodoo.
2. I have no idea how I need to have Setcpu set up.
I feel like I am blindfolded and I am trying to wack at a pinata.
thanks.
Edit: never mind...even a blind folded monkey hits the pinata every now and then
Found this tweet http://twitter.com/#!/nickmcminn60/status/22884452615065600
Basically he is getting some crazy scores and when asked about it, replies http://twitter.com/#!/nickmcminn60/status/22919189341671424
So my question is how did he do this and how can I do it too?
you cant have voodoo and OCLF activated at the same time.
when that guy said "DoW 1.4 voodoo5 with ext2 data loop" he means he is using a kernel overclocked at 1.4Ghz and that kernel comes with the option to use voodoo. however, he did not activate voodoo. instead, he used OCLF lag fix, the ext2 data loop. thus the bloated 2800+ quadrant.
he made it confusing when he used the full description of the kernel "Destroyer of Worlds 1.4 voodoo5" along with ext.2 data loop.
a more accurate description of his setup should be "DoW 1.4 w/ ext 2 data loop"
oh and trust me you don't wanna follow his setup.
that overclocked kernel is based on the i9000, it causes major battery drain.
you will go from fully charged to dead in 8-10hours with light / moderate use.
unless, you're willing to always be hooked up to a charger.

I agree, you don't want to do that, real world speed difference is not so much as just compared to voodoo not OC.
Actually, you can have both at the same time. I'm not sure you can activate them normally at the same time, but using the Universal Lagfix Kernel, it is possible to have ext4 partitions with ext2 data loops. This is probably what this person is doing. On top of the 40% OC, would lead to massive quadrant scores, albeit a little bit on the risky side.
Thanks, I kinda figured as much.
I flashed Nero v3 recently; Voodoo is disabled by default.
So far I see no need for increase in speed (the speed boosts I need relate to data =)) but I'm just curious to see if there is a noticeable improvement with it enabled.
Opinions? or dare I say...Facts?
Voodoo just makes everything smoother. Every once your phone might lag in market l but voodoo fixes that. It is just a more smoother experience.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Try opening several apps...
Then try it on voodoo...
If you are content with the very slight delay, no worries, but an ext4 file system really is a much better user experience.
come back in a week or two. RFS will be laggy. Voodoo/ext4 will still be zippy.
I am a very impatient person. With voodoo disabled I noticed I had to wait for everything to work. Switching screens took a solid sec or two. The lag when opening up an app or mms drove me nuts. With voodoo enabled there is no wait time. Everything works instantly.
So what's the catch? Is there a downside (such as stability issues) in using voodoo?

The only catch is that the battery life drains faster with it enabled. Not enough for me to care though.
Is there a big difference in battery life? Reading the Nero threads, doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Voodoo is the stock kernel, and it is not OC'd or anything. I have not personally noticed a difference in battery.... and if there was one, the gain having your file system converted to EXT4 is worth it.
supercuriou is a genius... just roll with it.
Downside... remember to disable it before flashing something.

I was able to get 36 hours out with Voodoo disabled. With it enabled and a LWP, I only got 28 hours, not sure if it's Voodoo or the LWP but can't really complain about 28 hours. At the same time though, don't notice much of a difference in speed as Nero v3 was already speedy.
I installed Nero 3 a couple days ago, and noticed I have lags now that I didn't with the stock JI6 rom that I had since phone was new.
Are there any lagfixes installed automatically with the Nero 3 rom? I hear voodoo might be, but not sure. I also see the rom includes One Click Lag Fix under applications, but I don't know if its installed. I see in many forums that people say don't install it as it might brick your phone. I almost had a brick already so I am leary.
Just want to have real smooth movement and seems a little laggy now with Nero3.
I have a score of 1010 in Quadrant, I am guessing as that is above stock Vibrant then something must be enabled... Any advice?
Thx.
Go into recovery, and enable voodoo.
A normal fast vibrant with voodoo gets around 1500 of quadrant

Is there any danger or drawback in enabling Voodoo? Does battery life get hurt much? Is it as easy to disable Voodoo as enable it?
Thanks.

Voodoo MUST be disabled if your going to flash another rom.
No effect on battery.
Under the enable, theres a disable, just click that and done.
I'll tell u now, when u enable it, it will take 5 minutes our
Or more to boot same with disabling, its changing how your whole system works, so.. It will take some time to boot after enable and disable.
Good luck.
Hey everyone. First off, I am very new to all this. I started reading last week about the idea of rooting a phone, and ended up doing it the next day. I have bionix-v installed now for almost 1 week, and no problems at all, except for one. The max speed limit in the "conservative" mode in SETCPU is 1000, but the TEAMWHISKEY Website says to set it from 200-1200. I was wondering if anyone can tell me why it's not allowing a speed higher than 1000, and what I can do about it to speed it up? After doing auto detect, the conservative mode simply gives the range of 100-1000. Any help is appreciated.

yeah...
Bionix-V comes with VooDoo kernel...but it can't be overclocked...if you want overclocking get the Dragon kernel or DoW (Destroyer of Worlds)
Personally i would wait for a while until kernel devs get their hands on the official source code...so the OC kernels won't have such crappy battery life
Hey guys thanks for the quick replies. I tried to read up as much as I could but missed that info. Since you both suggest not doing it, or not doing it right now, I'll take your advice. Thanks a lot!
It isnt really needed anyway unless you just want to see higher numbers. just remember higher overclock doesnt always mean higher test scores.
Infact I often will underclock my kernel to 800mhz. these guys do such a good job you dont really even notice the speed difference.
Dow=fast kernel but leaves your battery dead and lonely.
dragon kernel has been my fav up until eugene's but still worse on battery.
Dont mess with eugene's kernel as it isnt overclocked yet and it isnt very noob friendly.

i agree, it's possible to make overclock kernels only when devs have source codes of a kernel. we had not had one until eugene recently released one (still not official vibrant kernel source). this means both dragon and dow kernels are based on galaxy-s i9000 model. because the kernel is not optimized to our phones, battery drain is quite bad. since we do have kernel source codes and eugene and team whiskey are working to improve it, we will probably see good overclock kernels soon.
