Root One Stop Shopping for Fascinate Kernels

Had the same call issues others have mentioned with imnuts' 1/22 kernels, flashed the 1/15 kernel provided in this thread. Something I've noticed since going voodoo - and maybe it's just imnuts' kernels, I'm not sure as I haven't tried any other voodoo kernels yet - getting 3G data connectivity back after disabling wifi takes a lot longer than it did before. Probably on the order of 1-2 full minutes. Prior to going voodoo/imnuts, it was always a matter of a few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this or have any idea what might be causing it?

Running DJ05 Superclean 0.9, retrokid gingerbread theme, imnuts 1/15 -100 voodoo5

From what I recall Nemesis seems to be a casualty so far of the irc move.....either he wasn't able to access the new server (many have/had issues) or he was just against it in principle idk

Hopefully he ll. Come back at some point and not pull a dirrk

Yeah hope so.

FYI, imnuts re did his kernel today 1/25 and the new fix does address the BT issue.
Also, imnuts is talking about reducing his kernels into 3 flavors moving forward. Stock, -100/-50 and -150/-100. The latter two are -100 first step and -50 all other steps and -150 first step and -100 all other steps

So here is the 1/25 imnuts gave me its -150 bottom step and -100 all others and BT works. This is for 2.1 too. He says he'll fix the others either tonight or tomorrow

Hey Saps,
are you going to run that kernel? If so, let us know what you think. I thought -100 was thought to be threshold for battery improvement with uv.
Also, I am running jt's 1/23 voodoo5 and I think battery life is as good or better thus far than imnuts' -100 after using it for 2 days.

However, this could due to location. I am usually in an area with weak 3g and I haven't been in that setting as much recently.

Im running it. It works I cannot tell on BL yet as I forgot to charge last night so Im on charger now but it works and all. BT works. I'll have to let you know later on battery
 
Made a couple of calls today and no issues with jt's 1/23 voodoo5, so all around better than the imnuts kernels I've tried so far - no knock on him, mind you.

According to Imnuts' logs, it was fixed as of todays (1/26) build. I'm going to check it out now and see, will update later. I think I'd be murdered for calling a friend at 5:30. :]

Should be he had a 1/25 which I think never saw the light of day other than me throwing it on my own dropbox. Then this 1/26 is basically just the public version of the 1/25 I threw up last night in terms of the changes imnuts implements. Voodoo sound fully functional and not killing BT is the main addition

I'm seeing the same great battery life with jt's 1/23 kernel. In fact for me it runs a lot smoother than the imnuts kernels did. Pretty much every aspect of my phone is speedy with this kernel.

Great point, every phone has its own unique voltage patterns it prefers. So yes some phones will get worse battery life if the kernel is too undervolted. More is not always better when it comes to undervolting
 
I may have to try out jt's 1/23 and see. My battery life seems to be pretty good and everything seems to run fairly smooth with the imnuts 100 kernel for me.

Its half the uv, so in theory you wont get as good battery life. However, you never know till you try

+1... very pleased indeed :p
 
Here's a likely stupid question but... how can you tell how much you're kernel is undervolted? I've been jumping between jt's latest and the imnuts kernels and all seem to be very much the same. I check my battery info the "Battery Voltage" jumps between 3700 mV and 4300 mV. And I don't see a spot for voltage under SetCPU anywhere, just Temp and Level.

I think there is some line item you can enter in adb/terminal to display is but otherwise its not readily available information. Nor is there an easy to use app which tells you AFAIK
 
Now that seems kinda dumb to me. I guess we just have to assume the uv kernel's are running at what they say then. :)

Thanks you sir!

Yeah or someone needs to make an app or someone needs to remind me of the line to type in :p

It's being debated in this thread on XDA quite a bit: To undervolt or not to undervolt? - xda-developers

Some people think that theoretically UV should help battery life, but in actuality it does not (according to some arguments in that thread). The discussion gets technical, but in my opinion I am getting almost identical or better battery life on the -50 JT 1/23, than the -100 1/15 imnuts. However, I didn't test this. It just "feels" that way. I could be browsing less, or spending less time in a 3G dead spot, etc so who knows.
 
Does JT even make any stock voltage kernels? The reason I ask is because I occasionally have this weird issue where I'll hit the back or home softkeys, and the whole softkey panel will freak out and start flickering and blinking, and become unresponsive. I have to hit the lock/power key to get them to snap back to normal. It's really annoying and I can't think of a kernel I've tried that doesn't suffer from the problem to some degree, which makes me wonder if it's a UV issue.
