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

i suffer from the grass is always greener syndrome, which in this case means + the next rom is always faster syndrome.
I should be happy with my rooted phone and I am. But still I read the forum and think wonder what Kaos Froyo is like?
Yeah I get that too lol I tried almost every Rom except the ones that I didn't like the themes

Froyo comes with JIT, and a different JIT that's much better.

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 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..

make sure your /system, /data, /dbdata and /cache are ext4, you can check with adb shell or terminal emulator app via "mount" command.

I know and love EXT4.... I've sweared by voodoo and it was the only lagfix I ever even considered. Until recently.
I went back to stock JFD (use my guide if you like)
I downloaded and flashed Heathens Private Stock
* please note voodoo is not enabled, if you have voodoo, disable it before flashing if you don't odin back to jfd first.
And...
I can not tell a difference without Voodoo. It seems JUST as fast if not faster than the previous ROMs I have used. A huge kudos to jellette as this ROM feels very nice and has a very nice theme to it. Switching back and forth between apps and they load very fast.. not noticing lag like on JFD. I realize Froyo helped this, just surprised is all.
Benefits:
- Discovered if /system is EXT4 *voodoo* you can't restore a backup in CWR
- Not having to worry about disabling voodoo (not done so much anymore)
- Seems just as fast and phone is how it shipped
- Voodoo Sound can be loaded from the Voodoo Control Plus app (not missing that feature)
Cons:
-Not sure yet, I suppose lower quadrant scores (meaningless anyway). I am getting barely over 1k, but it feels just as fast as when I was using voodoo.
Encourage you guys to backup everything, go back to stock and then try this ROM....
Question remains, is voodoo necessary?

Good question! I was actually wondering this the other day. I tried a few different ROMs without lagfix.
I was wondering the same thing about it. "Is lagfix just a workaround to cheat higher quadrant scores?"
After a day or so on any ROM I tried without lagfix you would notice a slow down mainly in shutting down programs. Sometimes they would take up to 5 seconds to close! Opening programs slowed some but not nearly as noticeable. The dialer would take some time to open as well.
So in my experience lagfix seems to speed the phone in read/write capabilities. Which I imagine is what it was desinged for. You notice in Quadrant, that is where the most improvement is (In I/O).
So if you arent a real big phone geek (like most of us probably are) then the lagfix shouldnt make a huge difference to you. But, for me, I like my phone to fly doing anything. So lagfix enabled here!
It's not all about the speed. Its good to have a standard. This phone should've been on ext4 from the start. Supercurio has done a great job getting everyone switched over. I don't believe rfs is supported in cwm3+ either.
Just my opinion. I always use it. If I flash something else its an easy fix. Just flash an ext4 compatible kernel!
Edit:
I just reread your post, and I've never had a problem restoring backups. In fact, I flashed to an i9k Gingerbread ROM this morning, played around with it for a while (read: smashed my face against the gps), flashed a Froyo kernel and restored my nandroid without ever using ODIN or RFS
rfs = sux ballz (wen i first got my phone and started rooting one of the first things out of my mouth was wtf is rfs!)
ext4 = ahh, thats btr
I agree that stock felt oddly similar with voodoo enabled and disabled when i tried it for a day yesterday.
I disagree that you cant restore nandroids with CwMRecovery. For me it seems like its hit and miss which i'm gonna continue to test.

Don't get me wrong....
Like I said, I love Voodoo.. I've only considered EXT4 and it is my preference... thought I made that clear.
BUT, I have not noticed any difference with it vs. using jellette's ROM, and that is really surprising to me. I know it can tend to "slow down" over time (which I do not understand why).. but changing from app to app I am noticing no difference.
Regarding restoring backups....
I said that because the man himself made THIS COMMENT just yesterday. I have had issues in the past (5 x maybe) where a restore failed, never knowing why. I've also had them restore fine, not sure why the difference.

Thanks for the info on Jelletts ROM. I am definitely going to try it out. I don't know about voodoo will test your theory for myself but kudos to Supercurio and the wonders he has made for us in the mean time.
I hear ya bro. Im not trying to ruffle any feathers here and yeah I saw u an koush tryin ta figure it out last night. Just thought i'd post my half and half results is all since I confirmed MD5 mismatch on one restore but an all good restore directly after and both with voodoo enabled which was posted as a possible problem. Didn't mean to sound as if I were putting werdz in ur mouth tho if I did. Just tryina help a brotha out!=)

Talked to Ben Buchacher, you know the creator of SuperD.
I asked him what ROM and if he had lagfix.
He said he was using stock 2.2 and no lagfix, the lag went away in 2.2
PS he said TW ROMs weren't great.

Dude, that makes me so freaking happy. Is there a reason he is not gracing us on XDA.. I loved that guy back in the day.
You keep saying your using his rom, but which one are you referring to in hist thread? there is a 2.2.1 and a 2.2
I tried the 2.2 and it was laggy like the stock 2.2 and I have taken my phone all the way back to closed box and brought it up to 2.2(KB5) and there is always lag there. I don't mind Touchwiz but when a couple weeks go by and my phone starts crawling across the ground like a drunken sailor it gets a little aggravating.
Basically in my experience any rom, and I mean any, with or without voodoo runs great for a few weeks, but then the slowness comes back and you start to notice apps taking longer to open and close, MMS really starts to lag as well as the keyboard when typing. the gallery really takes a hit and showing pictures off on my 500 dollar 1Ghz phone becomes embarrassing. So with or without voodoo stock 2.2 on the Vibrant seems to run great but runs out of gas in a few weeks, some may last a month. 2.2.1(sucks with no Wifi calling) seems to keep going much better, and the browser is faster. So if your running 2.2.1 of his then yea you might see a better faster rom, but if you run his 2.2 I bet after a few weeks of regular use you will start seeing lag and get frustrated. And I bet even the 2.2.1 will start to crawl at some point.
Now I'm not dissing his rom or anyone else's. They are all based off of the crap the Samsung shoved out the door and yea a few tweaks here and there help, but every rom always seems to start crawling at some point and nothing seems to bring it back to day one other then reflashing.
Well, I guess once it's been out for a few weeks I will let you know. I am taking one of our best developers word on this matter though. I'm not saying I am right.. just pointing out someone smarter than me says so, and after using it for a few days I have to agree... so far.

which rom are you running the 2.2.1 or 2.2
The only thing really keeping me on 2.2 roms is wifi calling.
I'm on 2.2.
The rom is not perfect, but it works very well for me so far. I went to cut on my screen and it was stuck at all black (buttons would lite up) so I just held in power to reboot.... first time I've noticed ANY issue with this rom. Odd, I think it had something to do with me going crazy backing out of the browser and then shutting down my screen.

I have gotten that on quite a few roms including two versions of trigger and three stock builds. I get out of it by pressing the power button 3-5 times giving about 1-2 seconds between presses and it eventually came back.

First I really want to thank all developers for their hard work. These are problems that I am having and by no means does this mean that I feel like someone didn't already do a great job.
What is going on with 2.3.4?
Linpack went down, 3d performance went down, proper cpu management went to crap and beyond (at least for me).
I went back to 2.3.3 and every bench is higher. Went back on 2.3.4 to check and fair enough it's true.
How come we started with 2.3.3 and made it fast and now that we are on 2.3.4 we have learned so much from it and yet we cannot really make it faster then 2.3.3.
I have 2 EVO's one with hboot 1.4 and one with hboot 1.5 both with s-off that i have tried this on.
Can someone please enlighten me on this? Do i need to swap my phones? We removed logging and with all that the phone seem sluggish.
I know Quadrant doesn't matter, but to see 3d stuff lagging on every oc kernel on 2.3.4 is sad to say the least.
Take your own advice.
To OP, I haven't noticed that to be honest, 2.3.4 seems faster and more efficient than 2.3.3.
I don't know about the lagging on the OC kernal though, hopefully someone can post about their experiences with that.
Edit: I'm planning on installing a Stock OC kernal, is that what you're having problems with, a stock that can be overclocked?
dont complain unless you are sitting behind a computer writing code. that's all im trying to say.
it's tiring to see thread after useless thread complaining about something retarded. i'm sure a lot of the dev's appreciate that....

Thank you for posting. I just wanted to know if it's my phone.
Devs have done amazing thing with the 3VO and i really appreciate them. I probably just have bad hardware.
well maybe not... all bull crap aside let's try to work this out...
are you running any custom roms right now? mods? what do you have done to your phone currently? by sluggish, do you mean like EVERY task you perform, large or small, is choppy to the point where you can barely use it?
I have hboot 1.5 unlocked with s-on.. i have use both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 roms.. to be honest 2.3.4 benchmark for me are much higher and runs better as well.. Well thats just me...
This is my first post on XDA so I wasn't able to ask under that thread. By the way, If the Dev happens to see this, congrats and thanks for a great ROM so quick out of the gate for ICS- hats off to him and others who worked on it. My question is whether or not the new ICS Siyah kernels are compatible with the Rom and if Extweaks is safe to use with or without any kernel changes. My main reason for asking is that Id like to adjust the touchscreen sensitivity a bit using Extweaks. Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify this for me.
One last question re: the new ICS Roms for the I777- I've noticed a considerable drop in Data speeds on all 3 I've flashed. Do I need to make any adjustments to the APN settings with these newer ROMS or better to leave them alone. Thanks again.

I'm almost positive those are not compatible yet. I agree about the touchscreen sensitivity, though.

ShoStock2 comes with 3 apn's. Did you try them all to see if you get better speeds?
Regarding Siyah, NO, not yet
Thanks guys- I overlooked the APN's so ill definitely try those out. I love the Rom but the screen sensitivity is quite an adjustment for me. At the rate the dev is updating though, I figure a solution will come along soon.

I tried the other two APN's with reboots in between and am still only at around 300k download and 900k upload, if the Speednet numbers are accurate. On previous GB Rom's I consistently got at least double this on dl and much less on uploads. I am not around WiFi connections that much so the disparity in speed was quickly evident. I haven't used speednet's app for some time and can't remember the name of the app(German company I wanna say) which I liked more. Does anyone happen to know the name of it or another besides Speednet they recommend?

On previous GB Rom's I consistently got at least double this on dl and much less on uploads. I am not around WiFi connections that much so the disparity in speed was quickly evident. I haven't used speednet's app for some time and can't remember the name of the app(German company I wanna say) which I liked more. Does anyone happen to know the name of it or another besides Speednet they recommend?

Shoman went back to KK6 modem in latest release due to idle battery drain and spotty speeds. What modem are you using, what RC are you on?
Modem
I've been on RC5 since this morning, however the data speeds have been this low on RC2,3 and 4. Phone Bricker 1.0 produced similar results, by the way. I thought perhaps this was an issue with the kernel at first until subsequent updates didn't correct it. I don't live in a 4G area, but I used to get anywhere from 1-2 mbps download speeds sitting on the same sofa I am now. I flashed back to a late GB Rom(Hellraised VK-Stable) briefly the other day, which resolved the problem. I'm not overly concerned about it, but I haven't seen any reports of data speed variances as severe as mine. I'll definitely try what you recommend though, as I love the new handful of ICS Roms now out.
Look here for alternative modems:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393
Also you can check with google maps which modem is best for your area(directions in the same thread)
I thought I would chime in on this one too as I just flashed RC5 a few minutes ago. I was running FakeRom before this one which is based off the i777 leak with the new modem and I was getting great speeds with that modem!! I wasn't on it long enough to get a feel for battery drain but the speed improvements were significant. With the UCK6 modem I can only manage about 1MB download but with the new modem I was getting 3MB consistently. I tried all 3 APN settings as well with no change in speed. What's the process for flashing a new modem?
Also, on the i777 leak I was getting Quadrant scores of 4000 but now I'm getting scores of 2900. Is that a kernel based issue? It feels like a lot more lag than the leaked version.
HOWEVER, I love love love the ROM. The overall look and feel is fantastic and Shoman did a great job with it! I can't wait for some of these issues to be resolved and see just how great it'll be!!

Modem flash is a simply CWM flash like anything else.
Yea I was being an idiot and not thinking flashed the new modem and I'm actually getting worse speeds than before. Strange!
I'm going to mess around with different modems, settings, etc. until I find one that works best in my area. The quadrant scores bother me though. I actually haven't even check SetCPU so maybe it's just scaled back by default.
Thanks!
I love the map concept- thanks for the link. I just flashed the "local favorite"- UCKH7. No noticable difference on Speedtest, but I'm going to test it out for a while. I always got great results from both KK6 and KH7 on GB Roms, so this is a mystery to me.

Word of advice. Quadrant scores don't mean BLEEP!! Scores vary from run to run and its no real indication of real world performance.

Completely understood and the only reason I even bothered to run Quadrant was because I could feel a bit of lag and I was surprised to see such a difference. Made some small SetCPU changes and I'm back in the mid-3000's so I'm happy.
By the way, the APEX launcher is freaking awesome!! Thanks again to Shoman for the ROM!!

One last question, is it possible to use the MMS.apk from UnOriginal with the ICS framework? I completely love the look of that MMS UI and was going to try copying it in but wondered if it was too different?
I installed RC4 last night and noticed issues with my signal dropping from H+ to 3G regularly. I'm currently downloading RC5. Hopefully the modem change will fix it. Oddly enough I didn't really notice any drastic changes in speed from stock to RC4, though my area is terrible for data speeds.
Finally!!
Guys,
I just flashed UCLC2, downloaded from the link kindly provided above:
Update: the speeds are improved but are erratic so I'm now hesistant to call this modem the cure at all after seeing this.

That's the true connection. Idle is normal on 3g and it transfers data on h+.
AT&T hides that by making it say h+ all the time.

Not likely. Unnamed had the stock AT&T look except for the bubbles.

I wonder how difficult it would be to just change the bubbles? That's really the only thing I'm after. The overall theme of your ROM is perfect but man do I love the bubbles from Unnamed!!
