I was browsing some other site when I noticed some members mentioning how android 2.2.1 on their galaxy s devices made a HUGE improvement in overall speed, basically making it stock lag free. They had the original i9000 galaxy.
The story was, when google released android 2.2, their main goal was efficiency and speed overall but mainly for the snapdragon processor devices especially since their own device(nexus 1) + many others at the time, evo, incredible, etc. were snapdragon powered. Thus, people noticed the increase in speeds and also their benchmarks increased dramatically as well. The downside was, those optimizations kind of slowed down our hummingbird devices in some ways resulting in the lag we know of. Thats why some people feel(including myself) stock 2.1 was pretty slick in basic functions.
But since the 2.2.1 was leaked, people installed them on the international galaxy s devices, and even some ports were made for the samsung Captivate. All of those devices with the updates are much faster. I tried to find people having 2.2.1 on the Vibrant, but no know has so thus far. So does anyone know of any developments on 2.2.1 for or vibrants, or atleast somehow we can try to have it ported. I mean if they got it working from the i9000 to captivate, im sure vibrant should not be that much more different..
Just install voodoo lag fix. Will speed up your vibrant and be mostly lag free. Why wait for all that. I'm using odex uvjl4 froyo stock rom with voodoo. Runs awesome.

Because whichever way you look at the RFS, it is still FAT based filesystem, inefficient and ancient, Voodoo converts that to a proper linux based filesystem that should've been on the phone from the get go.
Voodoo lag fix is the ultimate solution to the lag problem. 2.2.1. in combination with voodoo would make our devices that much better with increased cpu and file system performance over 2.2.
2.2.1 was ported to the Vibrant already. Heathen got everything working and it was amazing EXCEPT for a major bug. The phone would restart every time it picked up too much network strength signal (service bars). They tried fixing it for weeks but ultimately no one was able to fix this bug which is hiding somewhere in the radio of the Vibrant apparently. Ultimately 2.2.1 was dropped and development for it is now halted.
I believe there is some development for 2.3 (Gingerbread) from both TW, CM, and maybe Heathen as well but it appears it is still a bit too early to have daily-driver ROMs.
I hope this explains the situation.
Voodoo brought my vibrant a 1000 points higher on quadrant benchmark, everything is so much better, stop being a little biznatch xriderx66

The OP is asking for like updates that improve speed and everyone goes VOODOOO!
I understand, I use voodoo too, and to the other guy explaining to me about RFS, I know that already lol.
Thanks for the advice, but actually i already have voodoo running. Its just that I was interested in finding a more stable option, especially something that did not require having an additonal install. BTW how come people are getting such great benchmark numbers with their voodoo vibrants. I was getting close to 1400 and just did a complete wipe and reinstall and now im getting about about 1000. Regardless of the numbers, the phone seems to be flying though, regardless of the bogus numbers..

So i have EvilEris on my phone atm and it works great i have it OCed at 768 but i see some people have their phones over clocked at higher speeds. Is there something im missing because whenever i try to put it higher my phone just restarts. If theres anything i have to do please point me in that direction. I know i run the risk of it overheating but i like to push the boundaries a little bit, Thanks in advance
The thing with overclocking is that not all phones are created equal. Not every processor can handle running at 806 or so and then some can all day without breaking a sweat. This goes with pretty much most electronic things. With that being said, there are always a couple of things to play with to try and max it out. Do you have JIT enabled? I understand that can make a difference on some phones as it is not entirely stable with everything. Also, personally, I could not OC to 806 till I started running Froyo roms. I have tried 4 different ones (and have stayed with CELB 1.4) all while hitting 806 without it even heating up as much as when I ran 768 on 2.1 roms. Really though, just because your phone is turned up as much as possible, doesn't mean it will automatically be faster. Some report no differences between, say, 710 and 768 on their phones. So, just like when you drink too much (me, last night lol) and your liver says no more and you hurl everywhere, your phone turns off saying no more when you push it too hard. Hope this makes sense somewhat...lol
The reason overclocking exists is because chips are shipped at a lower level when they actually can functiona t a higher level. Processing has to do with the wafers on the chip and there's no way to garauntee the exact number you'll get per chip so they just find the minimum number and ship all of the chips under that minimum number. This means some lucky people get chips capable of going way higher and some people get chips that can't handle that speed.
Im not familiar with JIT, not sure what it is. Would that possibly do anything to maybe get my processor running higher? Will it work on EvilEris? Yeah i know theres really no difference in the speeds that much but i just like to push it a little higher for fun lol, i just like to have my gadgets running at their best possible specs
I'm not sure if it'll run on Evil Eris but you can look for a thread by jcase called Universal JIT update and try it out. It isn't very stable though, especially on Sense ROMs. However if you change your Dalvik Heap to 24m I've heard it helps. It doesn't really speed up your processor, just the way your phone handles things. I've noticed a difference with it enabled. As for what it is well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation
I used Universal JIT with my Evil Eris. Don't bother, it "speeds things up" in some sense but it's really not worth it. Mflops nearly double but that literally means nothing other than your mflops are doubled.
Hmm, it looks interesting. Im going to look into it a little more and see if its worth it or not. Ill probly use it for future roms like Froyos when they get working flash(Only reason im staying with 2.1 roms atm). Thanks for the info on it
just for reference, my phone will lock up at any settings over 710. Droid Kevlar's phone is OC'd at 806!
my phone kicks all sorts of ass at 710 so I am happy. I think we all get obsessed and when this phone takes over your life (like it did mine) you start to seek out better and better performance when its already good enough as is (assuming you're rooted)

Exactly, Im happy that i have it set to 768 because i dont have to deal with that tiny lag that always annoyed me before i rooted my phone. Once i got setcpu i saw the difference and wanted to try to push a little more. I bought setcpu instead of getting it for free because i wanted to give back in a sort of way. But im happy with it, i have no problems with anything as long as i have a good rom on it

Really...it seems there a lot more I have to learn about this before I do anything because now I might start using kaos froyo. Also I heard/read google was making froyo faster because of flash so maybe the UI is faster also?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Froyo is basically a 2.1 update, so imagine 2.1 but reworked to be faster. They basically streamlined 2.1 completely and made it use a compiler to speed things up. I won't get into how compilers work but basically they can/will slow everything down unless things are streamlined for them. That's why on 2.1 JIT can be a nuisance but sometimes quite nice, depending on when/ what it is being used for. On 2.2 everything is pretty much made for JIT so it's all quite a lot smoother/ faster.
I personally use tazz Cyanogenmod 6. I've tried every froyo ROM at least once (there aren't too many lol) but this is by farrrrr my favorite.
Hmm well when I get sober ill have to try this jit out but I'm way too wasted to flash a rom atm, I'm lucky I have auto correct on my phone or it'd be all gibberish

I have tried both releases. If I had to speculate, I think Obsidian is based off of an early kernel\build from Eugene. It felt VERY rushed to me and I LOVE all of Bionix roms but had this one removed in about 45 minutes. I feel Macnut R10 is outstanding.
Same as above user posted. It was slow, and wasn't themed as the other roms. And I think it was rushed too because sombionix wanted to be in the froyo race.
I went with none. I am on AOSPish 2.2 and it's great! Lots better than Obcidian.
Eugene is not going to be doing any further R releases for macnut. He got his hands on the ODIN 2.2 from a T-Mo friend and stated this in his thread. I would flash his 2.2 he obtained, or BETTER YET, wait till he makes some tweaks to it. He is lightning fast, so it should not be too long now.
I imagine bionix and crew will use this as a base too?
Without focusing on the quality of the ROMs themselves, my take on this is that Eugene does not approach his ROMs as "software projects". That is, once you start using his ROMs, he is very good at updating them; but he adds stuff, or removes stuff, and then maybe later puts stuff back with no apparent rhyme or reason. While this may be fine for a lot of people, for me it's kind of odd. It would be great if he incrementally worked on and released ROM's with clear change logs and a good software development life cycle. I realize this is a lot to ask, especially since he has indicated many times that he creates ROM's for himself, and not really for other people. So he changes and does whatever he feels like without really having an overall plan, so to speak.
Bionix on the other hand is very methodical and very good at documenting what is going on. So as a community driver I much prefer Team Whiskey because they are more concerned about how to keep people informed on what they are doing, keeping change logs, and being methodical. This is a big plus and is hard for me to ignore.
All the above being said, the best ROM for me is the ROM that can manage to make battery life on the phone last as long as possible. The battery life has been my major issue with the Vibrant since I got it, and so far Eugene seems to be the best at making the battery last longer. At least that has been my experience with several of his ROMs.
So, in the end, I am stuck between two ROM developers. If Bionix were to develop a good ROM with good battery life, then I would stick with them for sure.
I hope this helps, and please know this is not a flame towards anyone. Both developers are incredibly generous with their time and efforts and I would never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Cheers.
AOSPish. Seemed like the simplest option, deliciously vanilla-ish, and seems to be working great thus far.
If we ever get into the Cyanogen game I'd be likely to go back to him. His ROMs were always tasty on my G1 N1 etc.
Yes, the battery life for me is very important. I have used Bionix roms before and i liked it a lot. Time to try something new. The reason i am afraid to try Eugene's rom is because he has lag fix enabled on his rom. I had bad experience disabling lag fixes before and ended up with bricked phone.
I had problem with both on my bell gt i9000m

I think source was released for the i9000's (not sure) 2.3.3 and if that is the case, I thought we'd start seeing work on 2.3.3 kernals with mods like BLN etc brought to the Vibrant.
Are some required ingredients still missing to do that kind of work, are we still waiting on something to get released before that work starts, or maybe the roms have work required before they'll start on the kernal. I'm not impatiently asking for the work to be done at all, I'm curious if the pieces are available to devs yet so that they can work on it.
Thanks for any input if you know what's going on. If you don't know then, well, go ahead an do what you do best.
From what I've been hearing from ttabbal, it seems that Samsung changed the way to gpu loads up by using the bootloader.
What this means is that, without a vibrant gb specific bootloader update (not and sbl.bin, but a boot.bin), then we will only have software rendering in everything graphical, and now viewable recovery screen.
And also, it's kernel, not kernal.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Very informative amigo, thanks. So the rom will have those gpu issues and now a lot of the graphics stuff makes sense. It's funn that using 2.3 is in many? ways a step back in optimization right now instead of the step forward we hoped for like the nexus S #wishfulthinking
I still wonder if we have the capability yet to implement BLN, I enjoy having that and I guess CM7 has kernEls with something comparable so I could always go that route and specially since it sounds like CM7 has been smoothed out a lot.
I'm actually running CM7 right now and it's pretty smooth. I don't think I'll be going back to 2.2 on this phone unless something huge is offered.

So I'm sure the title makes this clear already, but I have an HTC Incredible as of now, but am preparing to trade for a Fascinate. From what I've gathered online, the Fascinate has the Incredible beat on hardware (except for the camera), but isn't quite up to par on software (TW vs Sense, Bing, just got Froyo, etc), but for a CM/AOSP guy, that's not too big of a problem.
So, I just have a few questions as I prepare to make the transition.
With the DInc, pretty much everything can be done on the phone after the one-click root with unrEVOked. It's to my understanding that much of what has to be done is in Odin? The concept of going through another technological medium to accomplish something on my phone is going to be a bit new for me, but I catch on really quickly, so I'm not too worried.
Are there any tricks or tips/helpful reading material that anyone could suggest as I settle in over here?
As I looked through the Dev section (however briefly), it seemed like Kaoscinator was the most stable GB rom available on the Fascinate. If this is not true, which is? I'm not a fan of MIUI, and tend to like stock GB (or as close as possible) the best, so this would really be my biggest question.
Thanks!
The stickies in the General section should get you off to a running start. As for CM/Aosp builds, JT's CM7, currently test build 5, is the most stable and functional at this time.
i would suggest ComRom, most AOSP like in that it doesn't have TW, but everything works, give CM a alittle time, it will be perfect when 100% working...but also know that OMFGB and OMGB will be ported soon, r2doesinc is on the case, and they are working on that atm...
I ended up going through ComRom to get to the CM7 alpha/beta/whatever it's being called. It's pretty stable, I was pleased with it. I needed me some real AOSP though (modded AOSP, but you get the point). The only issue I've had so far was the random ringing, but that disappeared after someone called me before I had the chance to reboot. Haven't had it since.
I was having problems using RM to flash a recovery, but that's because there was a step that I was skipping... Odin. If my bootloader had security disabled, S-Off, I could completely unroot, and go from pure stock to a rooted Rom in the time it takes to make a Nandroid, wipe, flash and boot. Being able to flash a recovery image through the bootloader on the phone is really the only thing I miss from the Incredible other than tthe optical trackpad. I'm loving the screen size, and everything else. The processor on this phone is fantastic. I can't wait to see what springs up in the development forum once the CM team officially supports this device. Especially some OC kernels... this thing could go even faster, I can feel it.
OMFGB will be a welcome addition as well. R2 and his team do great work!
I'm still learning things and establishing procedure, but if anyone could point me to some plain as day information on what exactly Voodoo is, that'd be great. That's not something I've ever heard of until now.
Thanks for the patience! I catch on quick, I promise I don't ask a whole lot of questions, as I try to figure it out on my own first, the switch is just a little daunting with the addition of Odin. Weird stuff.
Voodoo is comprised of a few parts.
Voodoo lagfix-- converts the file system from RFS to the speedier ext4. This improves the responsiveness of the phone
Voodoo Color-- makes the colors of the phone "pop" more and look better.
Voodoo sound-- The galaxy S series of phones have a VERY good audio chip. Voodoo sound lets you fully take advantage of the processor's power. Hook this phone up to a decent receiver and speaks and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Voodoo sound and color REQUIRE kernel source code to be baked in. Voodoo lagfix does not require kernel source. Thus, you can have voodoo lagfix without color/sound (and potentially vice-versa).
Aha! The Fascinate's partitions ARE Ext4 (except for non-Voodoo, of course)! I thought so! The partitions were all Ext3 on the DInc. That's pretty cool!
Now, how would one control Voodoo? Is there an app that does that, or is this controlled via the Voodoo Settings in the Lag-Fix Recovery?
Sound is controlled with voodoo control app in the market. Lagfix is controlled by clockwork. Color is just built into the kernel and has no setting options
Voodoo color only works when you have your backlight set to max brightness... unless I am mistaken

Yup, I just found that exact kernel. I stumble into something new every time I go through the Dev forum. I'm definitely digging this phone.
My wife uses a Samsung Vibrant and there are just so many issues with it. Currently, it's on the latest stock Froyo release. It keeps losing all of her home screen icons (using stock TWLaucher) and we have to kill TWLauncher or reboot to get them back. Seems to have lag all over the place. Also, wifi signal strength is poor. The wifi calling app constantly turns off saying the wifi signal isn't good enough.
I'd like be interested in trying out a custom ROM. I've tinkered with some of the leaked ROMs, so I'm familiar with ODIN. I've used CWM on my Droid X before, so I should be ok with that as well.
She's not interested in 100 different themes and fancy icons and fancy features, etc. We are just going to want something that's close to stock with some tweaks that might fix some of the issues we are having. Not interested in partially working ROMs where the GPS doesn't work or issues with the camera, etc. Would like wifi calling to work as well. Need something totally stable. I'm not going to want something that's going to need updating weekly either.
Anything out there that meets what I'm looking for?
Please make suggestions.
Hi, same situation here, my gf has stock vibrant with froyo and many issues...
I've cm7 on my N1 so I considered it for the vibrant but at the moment it have troubles with gps and wifi SO I've searched a lot and the much more stable rom (for me of course) is the projectV, it's based on the official froyo with some tweaks and fixes, seems pretty stable until now
here the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105037

Agreed with nekobus
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I actually had my eye on that one.
It'll improve the lag and losing icons and things like that? I don't need a lagfix on top of that as well?
I'm not doing this for the eye candy (extra lock screens, etc.), I just want things to run more smoothly.
This probably won't help the low wifi signal though, since it's using the same modem as stock froyo, right?
Anyone else want to chime in?
It'll definently improve Lag and that icon problem that you have will not happen. And almost every ROM in here has a Lagfix, so Project-V does have one and will come on when you flash it. (A voice of a robotic women after flashing means that Voodoo is flashing) Voodoo is the name of the Lagfix, which makes our systems run on ext4 instead of the slow RFS system stock that your wife had.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The best thing about Project-V ROM is that its made to be fast and for tweaking, that's why they say they're not competing with Cyanogenmod because it also has both speed and tweaking abilities. So don't worry if you think Project-V is all eye candy, because its both Speed, Stability, and Tweaks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If anything, I'll probably give this Project V a shot then. My wife will kill me if I F up her phone or cause her to lose stuff.
I flash this with CWM? I don't exactly recall where to get CWM or how to use it, but I'm sure I'll figure that out.
Installing this over stock will be a total data wipe, right? I should back up programs and program data with Titanium first and then restore after?
This does include the lagfix/file conversion? That just happens automatically when I flash this?
Everything works? No serious bugs? I can also flash that wifi calling file in the first post using cwm and then I'll have wifi calling too?
Let's say Samsung releases a 2.3 that's a solid ROM and I want to go back to stock. With this applied and whatever lagfix, file conversion that's been done, how hard would it be to get back to stock?
Anything else I should know?
I've rooted the stock froyo, backupped ALL with titanium and then wiped all from cwm and installed projectV, no problem at all but titanium is required
About gingerbread.... do you remeber the "froyo story" right? I think I seat and wait for the gingerbread version of projectV (or other roms based on official release)! No more stock images in my home please

Yes, wouldn't be surprised at all if there's never an official 2.3 for this. Their 2.2 release was many months behind competing phones originally released around the same time. Still, just want to make sure I understand what I'm getting into here and how hard it would be to get back out. Could I easily get back to the stock froyo that it's on now, if I need to?

Before this market, I also had terrible problems updating apps. It was brutally slow and update all usually failed on most apps. I was very surprised that after installing the new market, I was able to do an update all on 20 apps with no problems at all.
My wife had pretty much given up on updating apps on the stock rom.
not yet tried ! But my gf had no problem at all with old and oldest market under tmob, now she's back in Italy, so I've unlocked the sim and still have no issues!

ROMS
As far as which rom you choose is your choice, I am running Toxic Smoke and a lot of people will agree its super quick and responsive but I support almost all roms, Devs here do great work on the vibrant and all should be recognized for it. I may have a solve for your low WiFi signal though..... Have you looked in to the Hardware GPS fix? It involves you opening up your phone and bending a small piece of copper, I did so and put a tiny sliver of credit card plastic under it to keep it from bending back down and now my GPS signal is ridiculous as compared to before. But as I read more there is another copper pin on the opposite side of the phone, that is your WIFI antenna. I then took my phone apart again and did the same thing to that pin and now My WIfI gets great signal. I guess it all depends on how tech savoy you are and how much you want to get into your phone. I know for how much it cost and how much I use my phone I wanted it working 100% so I took the extra time to do all of this and Im quite happy with my Vibrant now. But anyway my specs on my phone are,
ROM: ToxicMusixSmoke
Launcher: Golauncher Pro EX (Which is freaking awesome and free)
Kernal: Bali X (Will increase the responsiveness of your phone ff Overclocked to 1.2 using setCPU, you can download for free on XDA, cost 2.99 or something on the market, the dev offers it for free on here)
+ Hardware GPS Fix and S.gps.zip file for the drivers (You can also find this fine on the Hardware GPS fix post)
I hope this helps as my phone is very stable and I am totally satisfied with my phone as I was not so much at first. I also think with Golauncher you can get stock themes so your phone will look and act just like stock, but run 10000000000000 times better!
I am new to the samsung t959
Any recommendation for ROM? I would like to be as fast as possible, and with a working GPS
I don't mind CM7 as long as it is fastest.
Thanks a million!
]I wasn't looking for fastest.
Just need something to eliminate done of this issues we've had with stock and to be stable with everything functioning correctly.
Project V seems to have done that.
Only issue, so far, is that bloater isn't working and I can't figure a way to get the samsung stock keyboard back. Can anyone help with that?
I like that this rom is so close to stock. If I didn't tell my wife, she wouldn't have even known I changed anything.
While I no longer use it myself, I found Zendroid 2.0.1 with Bali Kernel to be the simplest and easiest to use for a layman, like the average wife or girlfriend
It's extremely lightweight with no bloat to speak of, and battery life is phenomenal (no bloat, no 2g/3g bleeding).
