Search got it buddie. This had been discussed
No there is no lag fix for are phones. The epic don't need it like the other galaxy s devices.

The ext4 mod for dk28 is the same thing as the lag fix, there's a bunch of threads in the development section about it.

Ext4 is not a lag fix. Its a new file system.

The voodoo lag fix is for screen displays they refer to ext4 as a lag fix because rfs is slow and lags behind the others but you are talking about two different animals

Vodoo is a color and lag on other phones.

So the epic would not benefit from anything voodoo related? I have heard about sound enhancements and speed enhancements as well as color enhancements.

We have thee color enhancements already got di18 and I'm sure we will for froyo once we get source. Lag hadn't been as problem for the epic do no need for a lag fix. Ext4 took away any lag we might have had and with a oc kernel are phones would fly. Sound enhancements would be nice but again not really needed

[Q] Best Epic Rom ?? Your input PLZ

I have a friend who has an epic. He asked me to mod it. I have the Vibrant and other GSM phones, So I really need some input on which of the Rom out there are the Best performers/ most stable and any other thoughts you might have. Also, a question There are no DL kernel roms for the Epic yet?, and if not, you have the latest December release modems ?
Go ahead and give your fav-rom a review !!
Thanks you in advance for your input

DK28 is the newest stuff we have. Nothing from December. :-(
I prefer Bonsai4All with ext4. You can do Bonsai4All (and many of the other ext4 roms) without switching the file system, too, if you don't want to mess with that.
I'd also recommend Bonsai4all. Great improvements everywhere.

Because it isn't finished yet. Video playing and recording are broken, while the camera doesn't have full functionality yet. Plus, it's still prebeta, although it's been pretty stable for me.
I suspect if the user is asking this question, they want something stable and are unwilling to take the time to try to see what's their personal favourite.
I recommend Bonsai4All and NebulaROM. They have been the most stable, have given me the best battery life, and the least amount of issues.
Video playing and the camera do work. Just no video recording. Honestly can't remember the last time I took a video though.
I don't know, good enough for my daily driver. I guess the little things may be more important to others though.
I like bonsai and quantum. Both are good.

stability wise:
Dl18 roms
1. Baked snacks 1.6 undisputed
2. Andromeda Galaxy 1.1.1a
3. Syndicate Rom
2 a 3 can be swapped
The dk28 froyo leak has bugs you might not want to deal with like if you dont flash the modem, lock gps, then flash dk28 the gps doesnt work... when you call ppl often you hear nothing unless you turn on/off speaker phone real quick.. and other crap thats not really worth the added flash support (youtube app still works on the dl18 roms just webpage flash videos dont)
But if you -really- want a dk28 rom i'd go with Bonsai4All themed. Its sexy. If you don't feel like dealing with EXT4 or CWM3 then epic experience is nice too.
Its funny how BThomas can lol at my post,but cant beat any of the scores Ive posted...Im down for a challenge...to BThomas,I know you know these ROMs all have the sae guts,but I use some on the edge stuff that just works in my ROM to provide the best speed and battery life.

[Q] swapper for swapfile in EH17

I was made to undersatnd that running a swapfile in GB ROMs (such as EH17) would eliminate the random reboots etc that plauge GB right now.
Does anyone know how to make the swapper program work wth those GB roms out there?
Bump.
I think it has to do with partitioning the SD card.
I know there is a way to do it. I'll post when I get it figured out
Next time, dont bump. But I think we've pretty much established it wasn't a ram/low memory issue. It's a low voltage issue.

Tegrak, mess with the vltage settings. You have to have tegrak ultimate. Check the thread in general "possible fix fo random reboots"

i dont suffer from reboots on eh17
i've seen it once in the two weeks of running it so far.
if its voltage related perhaps the reason for success is that i use set_cpu to underclock

(REQUEST) kernel or ROM with voodoo sound support

I tried looking through a few pages of the dev section and didn't see anything regarding this feature. Is it obsolete? If I could make a wish list for features baked in, then here they are:
Stock kernel
No ciq
Cal's battery life mod
Ek02 would be good but el26 would be nicer
No themes
odex, but if it would be easier to deodex then go ahead
Nothin fancy. Thanks ahead of time if someone does this.

Shouldn't be hard to find something real close to that in the dev section already. I'm not sure if anyone has a kernel with voodoo sound support yet.
Would love to have voodoo sound. Made video recordings in a loud environment on my OG Epic possible.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Even if its bone stock with voodoo sound/screen capable kernel, I'd be happy.
One thing I just thought about, maybe our phones don't have the sound chip hardware that the galaxy 1's had. I don't know the specifics so I couldn't speculate. Maybe there could be a voodoo sound/screen driver for galaxy 2 phones. Like voodoo^2
And bln support too

That's my understanding too. I don't think we will ever see Voodoo on this phone unfortunately. I am using the paid PowerAmp. It has a nice EQ. You can also check out AudioBoost SGS2 and Equalizer apps from the Market

Will el30 kernels work on ei22 roms

i wanna go back to marcussant rom ei22 bcuz it kicks ass and the non cm7 and miui roms for el30 just dont cut it im hopeing that fb15 will change that though so if im not mistaken el30 and ei22 are exactly the same just el30 has no ciq right?
EI22 and EL30 are different, yes the major difference is No CIQ. However the UI is different and there are a few other minor tweaks. As far as going back to EI22 why would you want to? I see why maybe because you like Marcusants rom but he does have a beta version of his V4 build out just look in his thread the download link should be there. Also have you tried Clean GB? It's a very stable rom and if you love TW you will like it. I'm currently running that and the MTD TW Samurai kernel. My phone is fast and super smooth. And the other thing about EL30 was that makes it so special it was an official build.

i discovered a conflict between el30 rom and ei22 kernel. i was getting a "usb connected" error frequently.. i got so tired of it that i re-odined with repartition.
good point

you make a rlly good point mk well i just cant deal with the generic audio drivers miui and cm7 and cm9 comes with i lovemy music and it makes my dj headphones sound like dollar store headphones clean gb doesnt hve enough tweakage to handle all the headset modifications i use
I haven't seen that error I've been using the Samurai kernel that EB put out for TW roms back in Jan. It wasn't really EI22 or EL30 specific. So IMO it can be used with either. When EL30 dropped I decided to hop on board because I wanted fresh stuff to flash lol. Oh and to the op until Marcusant makes his new v4 available you will need to have a launcher replacement. The TW launcher on his beta rom force closes. So make sure you have a replacement launcher as default and when you advance restore your data you will be good to go.

can you link me to his v4 rom i seriously for the life of me cant find the forum haha
I use an application called Volume+. It works very well and increases the sound and loudness of our phones. However I found the same problem you did when on CM9 the clarity of the sound is distorted. So I switched back from CM9 and went back to CLean GB. I also use the beats audio port and it works amazing. I have high end headphones and when they're plugged in they sound amazing. So maybe try the Volume+ app and beats audio port. That might help you achieve the studio quality sound you want. Be forwarned though YMMV.

haha i already have the beats port woth the missing files pushed to system/bin/ so the bass sounds fine now but volume +still distorts so i removed and am using dsp with very little modifications i have power amp paid an it is very powerful i find that i get more bass and less music clarity with the generic drivers than with the proper ones from sammy on the tw roms
Here it is enjoy!! Make sure you have a replacement launcher that you can use to replace the TW launcher. His beta version is very soild I have used it in the past few weeks and its a nice rom. I am looking forward to when he puts out a new version.

i cant get a different launcher to flash i copied adw to system/app in marcusant v4 and it wont flash over with it
Do you have a nandroid backup of a TW rom that you had installed on your phone previously? If you do and had an alternate launcher like say Go Launcher or Zeam or some of the others then just flash that rom back on to your phone and set the launcher to default. Then make a new nandroid in clockwork and then reinstall the v4 beta and advance restore your data and that should get you back on track.

A lot of these tweaks are built into most roms, including lifeless.
Also besides the possible placebo effect. It's just rearranging how aggressively apps are killed.
Not taking anything away from the modder, just pointing it out.

i can vouch for exit coming from e4gt as well.. they are built into roms but he takes it a bit further.. phakeer is another that was crazy with the scripts! call it placebo or not, it helps imo . i for one am gonna use exits tweaks. they arent built into my rom (not on lifeless).
