Hey folks,

Sorry I neglected this thread so much.

I'm giving an update and will stay on top of it for now on.


We are currently working on a community rom on IRC based on EC01. Now, this may seem weird, but we are going on a theory that ED01 is the same rom. Mainly because, EC01 was compiled 3/30, despite the name conflict.

Thanks for the update and for everything you and the other developers do. Without you guys, this phone would still be stuck back in the dark ages of eclair.

Thanks again.

I flashed the latest ComaVolt today, I can see a little better battery performance on my device.

Just wait a couple days. I experienced the same thing when I first flashed ComaVolt, then everything settled down and I have incredible battery life.

No need to apologize at all in my mind Adrynalyne. The faithful crowd here at AC have done a real good job at helping each other out. Everyone new coming in is jumping right in to the spirit of things and helping each other out. You and the other devs can feel free to keep working on the community ROM, and all of us here in the AC Fascinate forums will do our best to give you the time, space, and freedom to do just that. Don't want to speak for everyone here, this is just my own personal sentiments.

Shark salute.......Fins to the left, fins to the right.

Whoa!!! Didn't notice at first and it almost slipped by me. Congrats on the bump from Adviser to Moderator.

EDIT-That's just crazy talk that ED01 and EC01 may be the same ROM. I mean I know you are prone to spreading wild rumors and half truths, but that is waaaay far fetched.

Can that comavolt kernel be flashed when using the SC 2.9.2 I flashed through odin or would I have to flash to that SFC 2.9.2v? And my other question is, I am able to get into the red cwm recovery just fine, I never put the update.zip file on my sdcard and was still able to flash a theme perfectly fine, is the update.zip no longer a necessity? Or have I been going about things wrong? lol. And to add that kernel it's done through cwm right?

The comavolt kernels come in both voodoo and nv. So if you want to stick with nv you can. I personally flashed the nv version and I run sc 2.9.2 like you. The update.zip is not needed with the latest cwm. And yes, the kernel is flashed in cwm.

Oh alright that's good news! Is there any benefit between using voodoo or non-voodoo? It's making me consider flashing the the SFC 2.9.2v that adryn has in his thread, but I must admit I still don't know a lot about voodoo and non-voodoo. I assume that the SC 2.9.2 that I flashed using DroidX's odin method is non-voodoo in which case flashing the non-voodoo comavolt kernel is going to be my preferred method?

Yes, for now, just flashing the nonvoodoo comavolt kernel is your preferred method. Start flashing as much as you can in CWM to get really good and proficient at it. There are enough mods and patches you can play with that you shouldn't have to switch ROMs to get practice at using CWM. Also try switching compatible radios a few times in ODIN, there are a few to choose from. You may even want to try flashing a different ROM once you are through with all of that. Once you get proficient at all of that, then you can take a look at switching to voodoo. I still prefer to give this advice so that when you switch to voodoo you don't have to even think about how to flash things in either ODIN or CWM. That way you can just concentrate on the most important rule of voodoo - Don't flash anything nonvoodoo over a voodoo kernel. You can start reading up on what voodoo is and how to make the transition in gunnermike53's thread here:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...11-kernel-built-source-sound-undervolted.html

The actual transition is not difficult at all. Like I said, I still think it is best practice to wait until flashing anything is just second nature to you before switching to voodoo. Fewer headaches that way. I don't want anyone to be scared by voodoo, just completely prepared before they jump in.

Thanks Landshark I really appreciate that info, makes perfect sense to me and I couldn't agree more! I just got done flashing the non-voodoo ComaVolt kernel it flashed fine as far as I know. But afterwards I wondered to myself if I should of cleared the battery stats in cwm or wiped cache etc... All I did was go straight into cwm and flash the kernel without thinking to do anything else, was that alright? And as for telling if it is flashed you just have to pretty much know since it said installation complete, because the kernel number in the phone info remains the same correct? I'm definitely liking SC 2.9.2 with the black alien 2.1 theme, just hoping this comavolt kernel enhances battery life a bit, tho I can't say the battery life is that much worse than when I was completely stock!

On a side note I have another question.. When I'm in contacts and try to use the back button it does not exit contacts, I have to hit the home button. Is there a way to fix that? So far that's the only real issue I've encountered.

I personally have not tried voodoo yet so I can't tell you how much of a difference it would make. Reading other posts it seems that some swear by them and others say they don't see a benefit. So I guess it is just personal preference.I do not notice any lag with a nv so I am not worried about the lag fix of a voodoo. If you already are running nv then you can flash the nv comavolt if you would like. That is what I did a few days after flashing sc 2.9.2nv. I did it with hopes of helping battery life and it has helped me quite a bit. Just do not forget to wipe your cache and davlik in cwm prior to flashing. I have also gotten in the habit of wiping battery stats after flashing, as recommended by the more knowledgeable here. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

EDIT: Landshark must have been answering you at the same time as me. He really knows his stuff and is always one of the first to help folks out. Glad things went good for you.

Yeah I forgot to wipe those, would going back in, wiping them then re-flashing comavolt work fine or am I going to have to do a bit more than that now?

Edit: Also wanted to ask why there's no option to 'never sleep while charging' in the applications>development section of settings anymore? I always liked that feature as I tend to make use of it quite a bit while charging.. As for the contacts issue I mentioned earlier, I fixed it some how or another lol.

If it flashed ok and is running fine then you should be good. I would just remember to clear those in the future before flashing to prevent problems. If you do have a problem, you could just go back and clear the cache and then reflash the kernel.

You should always wipe battery stats to reset calibration every time you flash a new kernel, whether it be a kernel by itself or a ROM that includes a kernel. Just make sure you follow the method in gunnermike53's battery thread HERE

Just make sure you add in a step 4b of after wiping batt stats, run the battery down to about 5% with normal usage, then charge uninterrupted back to 100%. You won't see full results for probably at least 3 days until everything settles in and the ROM, kernel, radio, and battery have a chance to work together for a while.

And you know the flash of the kernel worked if during the flash you had a bunch of blue lettering flash crazily all over the screen.

As far as the contacts issue, I'm assuming you are running Launcher Pro since that is the only launcher where this seems to be an issue. Easy fix. Long press the contacts icon, choose change shortcut, choose applications, choose phone, open phone, hit back button, long press same phone icon, change shortcut, make it contacts again, open contacts, try back button. If it didn't work, simply reboot and it should work now.

Yeah I already went ahead and went back in to wipe those and reset battery stats then re-flashed the kernel for safety's sake. Flashed fine again, so I guess I'll keep an eye on my battery life the next couple days to see what difference I notice btw you possibly have an answer for the question I put in the Edit part of my last post?

Thanks for stepping up OHSteel. I can't be everywhere and reading all your posts here, you've been dead on with all your advice. Way to go.

Also to answer your questions, actually both of yours, based on my experience, observations, and what I have read about the differences between voodoo and nonvoodoo. Voodoo converts your phone from the rfs file system to the ext4 file system. It is supposed to be a better file system and your phone will read it faster. So the increase in speed on voodoo is in how fast your phone reads files. So with some of the enhancements in voodoo plus other enhancements made for voodoo, you will notice your gallery will open much faster, opening and closing certain apps and programs will be faster. Scrolling speed between homescreens or in the browser isn't really noticeable. Voodoo also has sound and color enhancements. Sound enhancements can be heard once you download the paid app Voodoo Control by Supercurio from the market. There is a free trial version also, but Supercurio has done a ton for the betterment and improvement of Android, so I think he deserves the donation for the paid version. You have to have the brightness on your phone turned all the way up to 100% to actually get the benefit of the color enhancements. I'm pretty darn happy with the color and picture of my phone as is, and I don't want to suck up the battery just to enhance my picture slightly so I leave my brightness on auto.

Hope this info helps.
