Just curious if anyone has downloaded and is currently using the t-mobile froyo that was released today and can give us the run down compared to what we have.
Its a bit laggy the gps doesnt work, it worst than the eclair gps. Good things aboit it is it has wifi-calling and tmobile tv if u want it my quadrant run was 880s when I was running 1500s with a rom. The roms are better I personaly liked auxura or nero v5

I hope the devs can pick it apart and take out the good stuff and put it in another rom
i dont use any update and software from samsung anymore
they only disappoint me
I installed the t mobile release on my wifes phone, and it's laggy, slow, and full of the traditional bloatware. The only upside was that the gps actually works.go with nero 5 with voodoo. Or wait for rhew next nero, which should be soon.

First I want to thank the devs for their excellent work. This is a great community. I want to inquire about whether or not any of the lag fixes are either currently workable with JI5 based ROMS, or will be. I'd like to specifically like to know about Voodoo. Thanks!

Voodoo is working in JI5 based Bionix 1.5. However - it appears to me to cause issues with the phone's orientation sensor. YMMV.
I tried installing it on the new stock JI5 rom and I soft bricked so... At any rate, I'm currently using Eugene's stock JI5 rom w/Jac support and am OC'd to 1200. I'd like the lagfix to work but, I'll wait, if I haveta.
Just want to bump this for the love.
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:

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:

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

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

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.

umm, i undid my LAGFIX, and downloaded the one you said to,and flashed using Clockwork now my quadrant score is like 900, am i doing it wrong?
Well I had my mind made up on Supercurio's KA6 Build with Voodoo and after some reading I came across this person's rom s0niqu3 (KA6+voodoo+bln+cifs), I just want a rom that is basicly the Samsung KA6 build, but speed up so my phone doesnt lag. Which one should I use?
You mean kernel, when we refer to 'roms' we're talking about the framework, theming, and applications that make up the software that sits on top the kernel.
To answer your question though, you will do just fine with one of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernels. Very reliable and the lag fix is totally worth it...will probably save you hours of fiddling/waiting for the UI over the lifetime of the phone.

the new bionix-v rom is very quick and it isn't to far off from looking stock when you get the touchwiz version.
Do these and you can't go wrong.

I still suggest Eugene's GingerClone R2. I have been using this for about 2 months and it is still the best performing ROM that I've experienced for the Vibrant.
Trigger 2.6.2
It has the kernel you want (voodoo, voodoo sound, voodoo color and almost completely stock). The ROM is stable, no known bugs that I'm aware of. Beautifully themed too.
Edit, just saw .3 was released. I would load it up, get it running how you like, and then flash s0niqu3s kernel on top of it. I do feel it's better than KA7+voodoo.

That's for GSM phones, not CDMA like ours. So no, it doesn't work for us, unless someone port it over.
Also, this needs to be in Q&A.

Yeah, I'm running Com ROM 2.0 now, but I was wanting darky's rom because of the speed it has. My friend has a T Mobile version of the fascinate with darky's on it and it's so much faster than mine, his benchmark score is usually 3300 while mine is only about 950.
Then you're not running voodoo....

I assume you're scoring is Quandrant based.
The rom, no matter which it is, will guarantee results like that. However, if you are scoring in the 900s I'd say you are not voodoo enabled. Voodoo will double that score. If you want higher, you will need to over clock. AOSP roms run much faster because they trim the touchwiz "fat", and when overclocked to the experimental 1600mhz, can produce 3000+.
But as usual. Quadrant scores should be weighted so heavily.
it says that voodoo is enabled, which ASOP rom do you recommend

It may say voodoo enabled if using an older cwr, even if it is not really enabled.
As long as you are using a voodoo kernel, choose the option to enable voodoo and reboot. If you hear the female voodoo voice, then you will be taken through voodoo conversion. You will then notice a difference in speed.
As for aosp roms, miui or cm7, however, considering the lack of a source code from Samsung, the devs here have had to piece things together as they come up with them, which thus far has been amazing , however, if you make a jump to either of these roms, be forewarned that mms is not functional, and since both these roms convert your partitions, if you ever want to go to any other rom, you will have to Odin back to stock and recreate your original partitions.
Personally I would recommend getting used to your phone before jumping to aosp
Correction.... mms working on miui so expect both to be updated soon with fully functional mms.

if you base this off quadrant, 1 voodoo is disabled or u are using an rfs kernel...and your friend is mostly likely running voodoo and overclocked to like 1.6 or something...not a good comparison...but honestly ive never heard of an sgs 1 phone hitting that high on a touchwiz rom
Just an fyi. Im Running cm7 overclocked to 1.5ghz scored 2700+ on quadrant.
I recently installed PowerWashed GB v2b3 and it appears as though I now cant install apps specific to Verizon Wireless (e.g. NFL Mobile). On the web version of the Android Marketplace it show my phone as "Mid-Tex Cellular Samsung SCH-I500" and says its incompatible for any of these apps.
Ive loaded several ROMs in the past on my Fascinate and have never run into this issue before. Is there any workaround to this or do I need to find a new ROM if I want these apps?
Thanks!
Ofcourse you cant install vzw apps...it's not a vzw rom. This rom was ported from the mezmerize.
Theres no mention in the initial post that VZW apps dont work and Im obviously not versed enough with this stuff to just know it should be an obvious limitation.
So is there no workaround to this? I pay $10/mo for NFL Mobile/VZW video, so I guess Ill have to go to another ROM if thats the case.
Thanks.
If you read thru the pages in that thread it was mentioned in there, but thats alot of reading lol. Sorry man your going to have use a different rom Im pretty sure. Maybe go back to powerwashed froyo?
Ah bummer... I did scan through the first few pages, but I guess I missed that one!
While I have your attention and you seem to know a bit more about this than I do; you mind offering suggestions to a couple questions?
1. Is there another GB ROM available youd recommend thats just as stable but would allow the use of VZW apps?
2. If no to the 1st question, of the available Froyo ROMs, would PW be the one you'd recommend?
Thanks again. Really appreciate the info!
Since all of the gb roms are leaked versions and not vzw specific, Im pretty sure they wont support vzw apps. Im not certain about aosp roms tho. As for froyo, powerwashed, geewiz, and com rom(I think?) will support vzw apps. My favorite combination on froyo was, powerwashed 1.2 w/ 0808 pbj kernal. Has awsome battery life, very snappy, and fully functional.
Thanks again. Ill give that a go.
