Very cool! Flashing now.

I took a peek at your team's work on the Vibrant forums when you popped up over here to get an idea at what we could hope to see. Very impressive. (Also sticking it to a certain not-to-be-named kangster always wins cool points with me. )

EDIT: Everythings working great! Man this sucker is fast, I noticed it straight away.

 

[fragfest]

Nice testing now...keep up the good work

 

[RinTinTigger]

Nice to see first roms rollin
Is the OC kernel included in your rom?

THANK you! Testing!

 

[fragfest]

I forgot to ask. Do we need to have voodoo enabled when we flash just like the tech demo??

 

[mazodude]

it is already enabled in the rom

 

[fragfest]

Ok thanyou

 

[RinTinTigger]

is 1.2ghz oc kernel included?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to rub it in. I'm slow at quoting

 

[dwang]

Can you provide a cifs.ko module for your kernel?

Thanks

Is there any reason the 3D scores on quadrant (in your pics) look like tiny slivers compared to devices below it?

Also, does bluetooth work after using EXT4 tweaks?

 

[morfic]

Silly me

Thanks for clearing!

tiny change in init.rc, booting it here right now, highest nenamark yet, but i will tweak voltages tomorrow, so we get a better initial product out.
for testing, you know it's on the other thread for stock roms (you can boot it with this rom and then run the adb shell mount line from the ext4 thread, but this does not get you everything somb put in his init script)

Because Quadrant doesn't properly support Nexus S/gingerbread on the graphics benchmarks lol. Imagine how much higher this thing would be . Just add the Galaxy S 3d and 2d benchmarks to it and that's the real score

i've followed you guys from my vibrant now here too? awesome! just got my NS today

Currently, quadrant doesn't support 2d/3d testing for the nexus s. It crashes. I turned off those two tests.
