Awesome job Geeknik, quick question:

If we wanted to get back to stock, how would we go about that? Is there a kernel removal method? Flash stock kernel? If so, where can I find the stock kernel? Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

Does any one know why, I just flashed 1.76 and now maps fc. Also what to do about it?

Try uninstalling and installing again maps.apk?

I'm having GPS issues on 1.76, even after 5 minutes of standing outside in a open area the GPS will never fully lock. My GPS locks within seconds when using 1.54 so it is def something going on with the 1.76 kernel. Let me know if I can help you debug this further.

I have actually tried that on so many different roms and it didnt work its not even funny. But on this one it actually did. I just assumed it wouldnt. Thanks for the reality check.

I would also like to ask if disable_lagfix is enough to remove voodoo so I can really use this kernel. Or is there a better way to remove voodoo all the way. Thanks and I am using this 1.76 so sorry if this is in the wrong thread

It is for the newer voodoo5 kernels. Older voodoo kernels it is hit or miss.

ryanf · Dec 11, 2010

Ya, I know there is one, but I was wondering if it is necessary to go through all that. I will look anyway

Ok, so we can just flash the kernel without wiping? Do we need DJ05?

After we flash, can we still do Nandroid and restore Nandroid?

How easy is it to remove the kernel and would it require wiping?

I've heard nothing but good things about these kernels...really eager to try one out and finally improve battery life.

I dont think you NEED dj05, but that is the biggest improvement for battery life I have found. The 1.54 and 1.76 kernels were made for dj05 and im sure work best with it. The first one is for di01 and should not be used if you have dj05. But stupid fast is stupid fast and thank you geeknik for your work. As far as wiping, I think it is a good idea to wipe everytime some times twice to get rid of the klinging on things.

If you use a dj05 kernel with a di01 rom, you'll lose haptic.

I'm using his most recent stable, runs great and battery life is much improved.

Yeah, just flash a stock kernel. I'm sure you can find someone in #samsung-fascinate on irc.freenode.net that has a link to either the DI01 or DJ05 stock kernels. =)

My testers and I couldn't replicate any GPS issues. Try upgrading to v1.95 which is on http://totalnerdity.com/sf/ and in ROM Manager. =)

Replaced it with v1.95. =)

I installed the 1.54 kernel. How do I make sure it installed ok? Also, if I
install the latest kernel, would I need to wipe data again?

Not sure what im doing wrong.. but I only get like 6-7 hours with the phone. I used GPS for 20 mins or less, and I hardly used the phone. I'm getting inconsistent battery with this phone. One day I get 11 hours and the next I get 8 with similar use. Also does NO LED use battery? Since When I'm at the gym I have 30% and when I get out it's dead. Maybe when NO LED runs the whole time it kills battery after being gone for 2 hours.
