Root Dirrk's D01 overclocking kernels with lagfix

Yeah man I'm pretty stoked, if it was this smooth out of the box Verizon wouldn't be able to keep them in stock.
 
Saps, did you try the 1200SV? I thought it would be better but locked up (battery pull style) going up the stairs in quadrant. Even when that happened with LV, it never locked up it just force closed. Even if it didn't get to that point I could always press the Home button and escape from any problem. I went back to LV.
 
you know.. after some testing, I have a REALLY STRONG feeling that the only reason it ever froze was because of having lack of service. Its like night and day now that I'm in a higher service area..

You know the very 1st time I tried Quadrant I got the exact same thing. I did a battery pull and re-tried it and it was all good. I could not get it to crash after the initial Quadrant run. So I did conclude it was GTG. But yeah Im back on 1200LV, same speed and power less battery use
 
Reporting back about the 1.1LV, battery life seems about the same for me... maybe I'm just tinkering with it too much or something. Going to try to quantify it somehow...
 
If I wanted to (hypothetically) clear my data and cache at some point, would that interfere with voodoo or the OC kernel in any way? or would it be totally fine?

Aint that the truth. I know my usage as been up recently. A friend of mine turned me onto this site and I've been installing and playing with all these new games and apps;)
At anyrate yeah its hard to quantify usage because of course the more we use the more we drain. Overall, I am of the belief that the LV kernals do improve battery life by about 20%. Problem is knowing this I am subsconsciously using my SF 20% more it seems :p.
The real test for me will come Saturday and especially Sunday. Sunday's I plop down in front of TV for football. With ESPN radio and Scorecenter running full time simultaneously. My screen never goes to sleep. So before I was using about 18% per hour with that. Im expecting to be at like 15% per hour now, we'll see

Totally fine. I hope this makes sense. Basically the voodoo and OC kernel are beneath the data and cache which sit on top. So when you clean and mop the floor clean, the tile is still there. Maybe that wasnt a good analogy.

Fascinate can't hard reset - xda-developers

I guess now, I'm a little confused.

Hmmm, Im not exactly sure what the OP was trying to do. It does seem if you wanna use that factory restore function is the settings that voodoo should be off. However, if you merely wanted to go into CWM and do the wipe data/cache I thought you could still do that. Maybe Im dead wrong though.

I suppose the bottom line at this is that if you wanna restore and make the SF like you that yes you should remove/disable voodoo first.

Clear as mud
 
I've been having some annoying FC's and have noticed that prolonged use of LV_1200 has had strange effects: some freezing (although not requiring a battery pull, just a home button press), some intermittent lagging behavior, and annoying FC's (not in everything, but it's like it has an attitude problem and FC's when it feels like it, ESPECIALLY in market). I once again have flashed back to the 0.2 Voodoo Kernel, and once again I've realized that the OC was just maybe a hair faster in real world speeds (or maybe a split hair) and made me happy with benchmarking numbers.

I'm happy with the stock voodoo until they come out with something better I suppose. Long term tests seem to be key with these.

Wowza:eek:...well lemme think about that some more. Were you using Google Nav or something where you screen was lit the whole time? Data transmission the whole time? Actually that probably is just about right. I use around 18% per hour when I stream espnradio while simultaneously on scorecenter when I watch football on weekends so yeah that actually is just about right. Thats really not to bad either you know, like 5+ hours

I think we're seeing some can pull off the 1200LV and some cannot. Its very true to say that benchmark numbers aside that voodoo itself gives the more noticeable performance increase compared to the OC. Both is best but better to be at 1Ghz with voodoo than 1.2Ghz without it.
 
Going to requantify later tonight. Going to run ESPN radio for a full hour, see battery drain on BOTH the LV1100 and Stock voodoo 0.2 BBL!

Here's the other thing I'd love to quantify. I swear there are certain ranges of the battery % remaining that flat out take longer to run down than others. Wow I hope that made sense. You know like if we had a surefire test that doing such-and-such would take 20% per hour than we should go from 80 to 60 in an hour. But it seems to be certain segments of the battery run down [apparently] faster than others. I suppose this battery % is still an estimate afterall. Maybe I will try and confirm this somehow if it even matters.


When you do your battery drain test with the radio keep the screen lit for max drainage
 
damn i already started it and the screen isnt lit. I only turned it on once to check a text message.

I understand your battery% thing (especially the 95-100% range, which drops fast for me I don't know why). My control for this exp is doing the following:
Starting at 55%, Run trial 1 with 1100LV until whatever battery drain %
Charge back to 56%, play with it until 55%
Run Trial #2 with stock voodoo 0.2

Kinda confusing but I hope you get it.
 
So umm.. can we run one of the ROMS on XDA with Voodoo? I'm hearing that people have both installed but I thought you couldn't do that..
 
Darn my battery test failed to show a difference: both 1100LV and regular VD 0.2 @ 1000 were the same battery drainage of 12% over 1 hour of ESPN radio. I couldn't keep the screen up... guess ill try that next...

Well that might actually make sense since the cpu was not likely running full bore the whole time you know. In SetCPU check your Info tab. Scroll down a tab and find Time in State. I just got done listening to Pandora for 90 minutes and I only drained 8-9% [screen was off whole time]. I checked in SetCPU info and my 100Mhz is far and away my biggest user like 10X 200Mhz which is next. Interestingly 800Mhz is next then 400Mhz then 1200Mhz. I think with the Conservative Governor setting the phone will first ramp to 800 and then if it still needs more power go to the full 1200 after a fraction of a second. Its very telling that little tab. Its arguable one of SetCPU's best features. But again yeah just streaming music is probably not as cpu intensive as screen light + other stuff
 
Well I'm still stable on the 1200LV, have had one freeze (i forget what, and it just required the home button, not a battery pull). A little lag here and there but less lagging and freezing than stock for sure.

No wonder you have great battery life :) mine is 100 > 1200 >800 > 400 > 200. Don't think I'm that hard on it...

Yeah I mean it does vary from day to day. Somedays 1200 is not last for me but its never first and I think for the most part everyone irregardless of how much they use their phone sees better battery life on an LV kernel than stock
