good call.

i just think people in general use setcpu when their using it in situations its not needed...like running a stock kernel with no changes/no underclock...or just leaving the widget on with no intention of using it

Agreed, yeah for stock kernel or even just stock speed with a voodoo kernel there's little point unless you like running the bench tests or seeing how much time your cpu runs at the different steps if you dont actually slide the sliders

totally agree with both you guys...

i've never actually underclocked it...makes me want to underclock to test it out for daily use...:rolleyes:

Yeah sheer boredom has me doing this today.
Tomorrow Im driving my GF to some test she has to take to get some teaching certification like 80 miles from here. So in addition to seeing how fast I can get in her Civic on Fastest Droid Im going to be stuck there for like 2-3 hours while see takes this test. So its going to be a lot of play time with my phone. I suppose I could just take my car charger too.
So expect this number to move up

that was set on a 60mph 2 lane road. Tomorrow I'll be on the Interstate :D

Hmmm, this is kinda off topic. isnt it.

OK lets see, still havent tried aosp since I use BT so religiously haha on topic :p

Haha, I didn't know that there was something out there like that. It is a good thing I don't have my modified Z28 anymore otherwise I would have you all beat by an additional 50%. I was pretty stupid in my slightly younger days, The speedometer went up to 155 in my Camaro and it was my goal to bury it and I succeeded. I used to autocross and drag race too, so I consider myself an above average driver at least. :p

EDIT: I just did it with my Avalanche on the way to pick up my son and hit 97.8
 
Semi-on topic:

Right now I am using stupidfast 1.54 on DJ05 superclean. I have researched voodoo to death and I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it works and how to get started with it. However, I decided to stick with non-voodoo because I think the speed is great for my normal everyday tasks and the battery use is good too.

However, seeing as AOSP will likely bring us newer versions of android etc, would it be in my best interest to move on to voodoo for them since development on non-voodoo seems to have ended?
Also, can just running voodoo straight without setcpu or UC get better performance and battery life than non-voodoo? I know it beats it in speed, but the battery life is pretty important to me.

There are undervolted voodoo kernels that you could try but not all
phones will run uv, mine for example.

Battery life really has nothing to do with.ext4 or rfs....omj did make.the.great point that theoretically there could be.a really minimal.gain in battery life because of quicker write speeds with ext4....its really not.noticable

The real key for battery life with a kernel is undervolt...,the more undervolted a.battery is the longer you should get....however you.have to play with uv kernels because.everyones phone handles the.voltages differently. :)

And since it looks like we are a few weeks away from anything more.aosp wise there's no rush

Has anyone flashed this yet and seen a difference without TW?

The most recently available version is about on par performance wise with a heavily modified tw rom...,so much debugging stuff in it was slowing it down from potential...but bird said he had fixed that before he moved on to bigger and better things

I know you had issues with a OC/UV combo but did your SF struggle for stability even with adryn's comavolt or other 1Ghz UV too?

Yeah Ive been on imnuts -150mv kernel for over a day know and it certainly seems to last a tad longer even than the other lesser UV kernels. Simply amazing. I will say that locked on 800Mhz cap and with that much UV every now and again I notice a hesitation from the phone where its either waiting for voltage to kick in or speed to hit 800Mhz. Its few and far between, slight and minimal. But to my trained eye there certainly can be a difference between this much UV and say 1200Mhz.
I think my next experiment maybe even for today will be to run on interactive which granted uses more juice than conservative but with the extra uv it might give me the same net result, we'll see.
 
Oops never mind, imnuts kernel doesnt have interactive :confused: odd since I know its jt's source and jt was the one who enabled interactive, oh well

yeah i forget what he said about interactive, but it broke or something when compiling

I've tried everything on your page of oc you made and I think all of adry's. The only two that have actually ran stable are 1.1 and 1.2 sv. Also 1300sv will run 85-90% stable. Lv-uv just will not work for my phone. Some that I tried just would not work right away but others would work for a bit but then poop out on me.

Well whatever works is good. 1200 is a good performer. So maybe your have to charge it more often
 
Hey guys, what do I need to do before flashing the AOSP OTB kernel (coming from OTB 1.0 LV 1100 on DJ05)? I had trouble going to the 1.1 kernel, ended up reflashing 1.0 and had no problems.

EDIT: Do I even really need to flash the AOSP kernel?

Unless you are running aosp...,don't flash an aosp kernel

AOSP kernel for the AOSP rom only. If you're still on dj05 / dl09 dont use the aosp kernels.

Also if you were on 1.0 or 1.1 OTB give his latest ones a try either his test5 or test6 one of those surely will work for you. Test5 is uv and test6 is sv. Believe it or not awhile almost everyone can run 1.1Ghz uv some get better stability with sv. There's even an odd duck case where 1.2Ghz is more stable than 1.1Ghz but thats rarely and hard to explain

Okay, I gotcha. My big question, sorry I didn't make it more clear, is thus: do I need to disable voodoo or anything like that before flashing the kernel, or just the standard factory reset and wipe data/cache?

If you move from a voodoo kernel to another you technically dont need to wipe anything. Many wipe cache and thats fine, but wiping data is not necessary at all. No disabling anything either. Voodoo 5 is so user friendly

Alright, thanks so much Saps! :D I did a lot of research before going to voodoo, but some of it still confuses me coming from the OG Droid :P

Yeah wiping cache is another of those best practice things you should do...bit don't* have* to.do

Although its a bit like saying i guess you techically don't have to.wash your hands before.eating...,but its a best.practice. :)
