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.

What is the best stock rom you guys have used? Im using Eugene's Gingerclone 2.2 ROM and like it a lot. But I'm just curious what's you guys think is the best.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
What do you mean by stock? Ginger clone is not stock.
I know. That's why I'm inquiring peoples opinions about their pros and cons of the roms they've had experience with.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I dont think anyones stock experience has been all too great tbh, i.e. lag and no gps. I like the feel of nero roms the best, but ive had better gps and battery life with axura. I havent tried any other roms than those 2, I keep toggling them as they come out
Even this Gingerclone is starting to lag. I would like something with no frills or extras. Just a stock rom, like what you see on the Nexus line. No UI, nothing to slow it down.

Get gingerclone, its the best and closest to stock froyo besides unofficial one.
Use a lagfix, don't do any more "rooting" "flashing" etc. then it'll be like ur on stock.
Try Nero

I've been switching back and forth and idk which one is better. Which one do you guys use and why? Currently using overstock cause I think the battery life is duh-WINNING.

People are different... Phones are different... the apps we use are different... the features we like are different.
I prefer Overstock 2.2.

Sounds like with you switching back and forth and like the battery on os.
You just might have answered your own question.
I use the old 2.2 tigers blood because newer versions give me problems ...i love the battery on this one..i tested overstock and battery is not so good...

i like bullet from EDT. it gives me good battery life, has the ability to OC, and everything feels real snappy.

I like overstock a tad bit more because it seems to give me better battery life.

Okay so I'm looking for a good rom, with good battery (I need at least 16+ heavy / moderate usage), ffc on it (not optional since I could probably just flash the ffc mod.zip), and good performance (since I will be playing alot of games) so any opinions =]

Bi-Winning v3 with one of ECOTOX's DragonMODz kernel. I use the ULP version and get 40+ hours. He's got an OC version too if you OC. Won't get quite as good battery but still very good. I don't do a lot of games but lots of calls, text, and web. Wifi is on just about 24/7 too.
40+ hours god I would love that ...I'm actually on bi-winning v3 myself ...I have no clue what version I'm on ..but I guess I should check out that kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yeah again I don't do games much but I would definitely give his kernels a look. ECOTOX makes them with games in mind. They're really great.
Also, have you tried different modems? I get better signal with KB5, but better battery with KB1, so I have to choose between the two...

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?

MTD doesn't use lagfix. Which the glitch kernel for vzw fascinate is only to be used on, mtd roms.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
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.
sent from outerspace
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.

Ok so what level of leakage should I get??? Suggestions????

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

Powerwashed 1.2 with pbj 8-8 kernel seems to be the most reliable for a lot of people. If your phone cannot handle the under volt then use pw otb 8-15 kernel. Your radio should be ed 05
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
My bad, can someone move it? haha
Thanks laureanop, I'll for sure look into those, I just have no starting point, everything is a lot easier on my OG droid... and my droid 2 has only a few options so that makes it easier too hahaha
For me, MIUI has the best battery life and is just great in general. I recommend giing it a try; it has a few issues but nothing major. The pros outweigh the cons.
OTB Over Clock kernel and Evil Fascination ROM play well together on mine, thought you can have some radio issues (it was a pain to fix but my how to is on here somewhere) if you are going to do this from another non stock image.
I just installed power washed with the pbj kernel for now (not big on miui personally, feels unorganized like iOS and wasn't a huge fan on my OG Droid... Of course that was back when it like first came out lol i'm sure it's allot better now) i'm just waiting on the verdict from her on battery life and performance, played with it some last night and it felt great (especially after putting launcher pro instead of go launcher, which is nice but just didn't have that snappy feel I like) but you know everything seems fast @ first, we'll see after a couple days...
I'm sure it'll be allot better than stock either way lol
Edit: thank new I'll check that out if she's not big on the current setup, I see allot of people liking evil, so that was on my list of thing to try, just was not sure what to pair with, thanks!

CM7 + Glitch's Kernel.
Yeah MIUI has gotten much slicker and faster recently. If you're not into that, go with Vanilla Gingerbread or CM7, they are both very fast and clean. I recommend the glitch kernel with underclocking and undervolting to get best performance and battery life.
Yeah I was prolly gonna throw cm7 on there but it's still in nighties so I'd rather not unless it was my phone
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
The current setup of power washed and pbj seem to be pretty sweet for now...she was still at 70% after it being off the charger for about.... 19 or so hours...where she would normally be in the red after 15 or so...
