In short - Does voodoo use more battery power versus non? Is using voodoo really that much better then non?
Just wanting to know.

It only uses more battery when you are converting to/from ext4, and that's just because it's doing something. Otherwise, it doesn't use any more/less battery. It is just as safe as RFS, with the added benefit of being faster.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

nah, battery is not an issue with Vodoo, let me tell you, since I found Vodoo, I cannot go back to non Vodoo Roms, it is so much fast and efficient, you will see the difference right away
Does Voodoo effect any of the multimedia hardware\capabilities? I use my phone alot as a camera\camcorder.
I am also hearing impaired and do listen to music with earbuds. Wondered if voodoo sound would be beneficial.

There are no negatives to voodoo.. Sound enhanced, speed enhanced, screen enhanced, audio recording enhanced..
Its the single greatest improvement you will ever add to your device

I have stock ED01 on my Fascinate. I want to get a Voodoo kernel back on the phone to negate the lag. Not sure which Kernel would be the best one to get because I am a n00b
I to want to know what voodoo kernel to use someone please answer
I'm pretty sure any of the froyo kernels would be fine. Personally, I'm using nemesis' kernel since it has the most customization and it works fine.

Using jts kernel because of personal preference. Other ones are heavily modded. Namely undervolted a lot.

I use Nutty Kernel. Im a ultra heavy user and still get 14hrs + 32%. For moderate use, I think I can go for 3 days.

I have had some AMAZING success with OTB-Reloaded; definitely try it out.

Cool I just flashed this rom. I like everything except the black everthing theme. Not a big fan but for now that stuff takes a back seat to working fast phone with good battery life.
So far this ROM is very fast. I am liking that. No showstoppers for me. No major bugs although I did have one lockup/reboot when I first opened the camera. Might need to pull the battery, because I haven't done that since before I flashed this ROM/Kernel.
Very nice overall.
I just flashed the new rom and I gotta say I love it....except for one thing. I can't seem to get any sound to work with the startup. I have the poweron.wav file in the right spot... i think... but still no sound. Can anyone confirm if the community rom allows startup sound?

Aloha! I have blackhole 4.21 (4.4 is a little unstable on my my phone right now, until I figure that out later on), EB01, running voodoo and I have setcpu. Any recommendations for addons, etc that would give me higher benchmarks? I'm happy with performance so far, but if I can get even more out if it that would be sweet.

Benchmarks mean nothing in real world performance. What will help the most in real world performance is VooDoo.
I stand corrected. I do not have voodoo yet.
It is performing good though.

I tried GB and got a quadrant score of 840. I reverted back to comRom 2.1 and consistently get 1650 in quadrant. What am I missing here? Isn't GB supposed to be faster?
If its going to be like this for the official release of GB...no thanks, I'll stick to my CR 2.1. Anyone else feel this way?

What you are seeing is the contrast between the voodoo ext4 (comrom) & the Samsung stock rfs file systems. Even GB rfs pales next to voodoo'd froyo. Plus, with comrom you are benefiting from all of the tweaks & under-the-hood customizations from an excellent dev community.

I'm on verizon but I was just wondering, is it only EC09/modem or any GB such as CM7 also?
Quadrant scores are and always have been entirely useless. While, yes, RFS is slower than EXT4, it's nowhere near 50% slower... it's simply that Quadrant doesn't work right with RFS.
Oh, and there's also the fact that you can double or triple your quadrant score with a single ADB command. Needless to say, that doesn't actually make your phone run faster.
I flashed the Glitch kernel...
this where I'm still a learning n00b...
I get the Glitch graphic when the phone is powering on but how do I know if this kernel is FULLY working? Or is it?
If you get the glitch boot animation and your phone is properly running...odds are its installed fine, but you should go and grab voltage control from the market so you can overclock and under volt to gain the most from this kernel.
Voltage control will also verify whether or not you have the glitch kernel since it doesn't work with stock kernels.
As side note I also recommend grabbing cpu spy (also in market) to see what speeds your processor is running at.

well you're seeing the glitch image, so it is working. I can't remember if the lagfix is enabled by default, if so, then you really do nothing. If not, then enable it with clockworkmod.
What I usually do is download Quadrant from the market and run a benchmark. If lagfix is not enabled your score should be around 850ish, if it is enabled, you should get 1500ish score.
Hope this helps... which rom are you using? and how do you find it?

Yeah it isn't voodoo lagfix, just voodoo sound and color. MTD runs better than voodoo ext4.
If you get the glitch boot logo then it worked, you're on glitch. To get the most out of it download Voltage Control and Voodoo Control from the market, voltage control lets you control the CPU and voltages to save battery and get performance customizations while voodoo control gives you some cool options with sound to enhance the quality of music and color to make the screen look however you want.
Now I hit over 2,000. I have no idea what it means, lol.

It a benchmark.. quadrant runs a series of tests.. i.e. memory read/write speeds, cpu, graphics, etc.. the it gices a score on each test, combines them, and compares them with other phone models.
I think I'm beginning to understand.
I went to the Voltage Control and jacked it up to 1700mhz and this phone basically flies out of my hand, and the battery life basically dies. So I lowered it.

If you can do that without the phone messing up, you're on the right leakage. lol
The new glitch 12 release has some recommended setting you can try out.

It's still beta, right? I want to wait until it's stable. Isn't that the best idea?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
No, beta doesn't mean "it isn't ready for people to use" but just that it isn't fully 110% stable and still might have some bugs. It'll probably never be "stable" just because of the spotty hardware and other issues, but I've been on glitch since it came out and it has been perfectly stable. If you wait for an officially stable release you'll likely never get to experience the awesomeness that is Glitch.
v12, like v11, has been rock solid for me as well.

Start with high and with your way down in leakage and see which is the most stable or can handle the most overclocking...all phones are different and handle leakage values differently but i'm pretty sure that low leakage is the most efficient and generates the least amount of heat but some phones will preform the best and be the most stable on medium or high..experimentation is probably the best answer

anyone have a problem with autobrightness?
I was just wondering what different tweaks people use that work. The only thing I been using is jokers 1.3 kernal on cm7 and just tried 3g/4g optimizer for 3g boost. I am new here so off I'm curious as to what you guys use for tweaking things like 3g etc....
Sent from my CM7ed MoPho
Hello and welcome! 3g tweaks are one of those grey areas in which people seem to have varying results. None have ever done much for me.. However, zeroing out any proxies within your build.prop usually seems to get me slightly faster and more reliable 3g speeds. CM7 is pretty optimized from the get-go, but i urge you to make good use of that kernel. By that i mean, sit down and really set up profiles, underclock by no more than 50 if you want to be sure you get no random reboots, run the powersave governor instead of performance (with deadline), dont bother overclocking unless youre really obsessed with benchmarking scores as jokers mods to the kernel improve performance at stock frequencies and visible performance gains are minimal with overclock. If everything is set up correctly, don't bother using a battery saver app as profiles can generally do the same thing. Dont use task killer apps, they hurt battery performance and do more harm than good. Might wanna check out startup manager to dictate which apps start upon boot if you have a ton of apps. Check out an app called ad away to get rid of those pesky ads. Rom Toolbox Lite app is good for many many little tweaks as well. Thats all i can really think of right this second. Other than these i like to keep it generally clean.
What is the most accurate speed test app? I been using speedtest.net mobile.
Sent from my CM7ed MoPho
There isn't. All of them are slightly inaccurate. Best way to judge your speed is to actually download something.

You'll find your phone actually runs smoother without the task killer. They were useful in the days when phones had limited amounts of ram. With today's phones its redundant given that android has its own 'task killer' built in.
Yup. I noticed. Runs all smooth now.
