Root ALL THINGS COOL EB01 (Mods and Stuff)

I know I'm way late but just in case you haven't done this yet, I think you do need to disable lagfix, I did at least.

I actually ran this without disabling lagfix and seemed to have no problems.

Um yeah, like I totally upgraded my superclean without disabling lagfix either, so there, lol! Like I would ever give bad advice :D Actually, mine seems a lot less laggy/freezy now too since the upgrade from SC 2.1>2.2...

I did the same...no problems except that in recovery it says that lagfix is disabled. When I tried to enable and reboot, it booted normally without a conversion. I then ran quadrant and got 1492 so it's obviously enabled. What does yours say in recovery?

Same thing here... it says lagfix is "actually disabled", enable on next boot. Or something like that. Then when I reboot, I get no indication that it is enabling voodoo. My quadrant score was around 1518. So I dunno :eek:
 
its not nearly as smooth as voodoo5 on 2.1...but thats mainly because its just an ext4 version of the stock kernel....jt did ALOT of cleanup on the kernel code and his github was the base for virtually all eclair kernels...once he can work with the kernel source...a voodoo5 custom 2.2 kernel should far surpass performance of a 2.1 (hopefully anyway)

Even though my benches aren't as high as they were before, my non voodoo EB01 actual device performance and snappiness far exceed what I had with any of the voodoo kernels before. I thought they were fast, but my Fascinate right now is wicked. Part of it might be that I'm on ADW launcher instead of Launcher Pro Plus. Free ADW actually added a feature or two that the paid LPP lacks.

Could that account for the feel? They didn't seem that much different when I compared ADW and LPP on 2.1 before. Both LPP and ADW are consistently more responsive than TW in my testing.

fwiw the quadrant benchmarks (i still think everyone should uninstall this epeen contest from their phones) are lower on 2.2 across the galaxy s phones on voodoo (but up vs rfs)....but the performance is up stock vs stock voodoo5 (although i dont remember any 2.1 kernel having ext4 thrown on without other modifications so meh)

i think once we have source for 2.2 and we have heavily modified kernels with voodoo....that whether it be touchwiz or aosp roms this phone will be plenty good enough for me to hold up upgrading until this summer. tbh ive been satisfied with my phone for the most part having had it now for several months...granted a lot of whats "missing" isnt stuff that i personally use on a phone (tv out, working dock, etc)

Overall, I'm really impressed with this build right now. The only things I wish they'd fix would be to enable video output - which is the lesser of the two - and fix the blasted bluetooth and audio jack issues. It's stupid, inconvenient AND a bit of a safety concern to have to pull the audio cable out every time you need to take a call. What a horrible design flaw. On the DX and the Eris I could take calls over headphones simply using the phone's built in mic. If I connected bluetooth, that would override the audio jack. And that makes perfect sense. Why would I ever ever ever go to the trouble to connect a bluetooth headset if I didn't want to make calls for it? This seems like a small problem, but this has been one of my biggest gripes about this phone since it was released.

My friend with a captivate says that it works on some ROMs, and doesn't on others, which would lead me to believe it's software related. A Verizon rep told me it was a known issue, and that it would be fixed in the next major update. I really think we need to let them know that this functionality is important. It would not surprise me to find that a good number of people use it for music playback in their vehicles.
 
question re: sbrissen's lockscreen mod: I'm using the rotary unlock, but now incoming calls show the puzzle unlock when the phone is locked. It used to be that you switched the lockscreen to 'glass' to get the regular unlock for phonecalls, but that won't work with these new changes. Is there a way to change this behavior, or is it a byproduct of the sbrissen mod that we'll have to live with for the time being?
