I just reverted back to DJ05 to test voodoo sound, color, and lagfix and I must say it's amazing. I hadn't really messed with voodoo until superclean 2.9 EB01 and it was ok but nowhere near as fast as DJ05 with voodoo. With EB01 I wasn't experiencing that snappiness that everyone is talking about but now I know. The headphone amplifier in the voodoo lagfix is AMAZING and lets me use my Klipsch Image S4's to their fullest. I don't think I'm going back to FroYo until the source code is released and awesome custom kernels like the one I'm on now get developed. Sorry if this is a pointless thread I'm just super excited and amazed.

For those interested in trying it out there are links below. Be sure to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. If this is your first time using voodoo do not use this post as a reference. I do not want to dedicate this thread as a voodoo how-to because I have only been on voodoo for a week and I am inexperienced. Search threads to find a voodoo how-to thread and come back once you figure it out (it's easy). This is for those on froyo who have not yet experienced true voodoo custom kernels or simply just want to return but can't find good links.

Good things I've noticed.
-Snappier.
-Instant GPS lock!!!!(Just realized this). I know it didn't work on DJ05 before.
-Higher Quadrant scores.
-Market is smoother, apps download and install way faster.
-Good battery life. going on 12 hours now and still at 63% (Would be in the 40's on EB01). This is with the screen on full brightness!! On EB01 I had the brightness always at the lowest setting.
-Messaging is less buggy. Messages I send are received every time.
-SD scan is faster.
-Boot is faster.
-Sound amplifier/driver is amazing!
-AMOLED screen looks better overall.
-Better signal/speed.

Bad things I've noticed.
-Swype is being a pain. Said my trial expired. Other methods of reinstalling it I've used before aren't working. Swype beta says trial expired also when I try to install. To fix this see below.

HOW TO FIX SWYPE:
1. Download a swype.apk WVGA resolution from the interwebs. (Can't post it here)
2. Change your default keyboard to any keyboard other than Swype.
3. Using root explorer, go to system/app/ and delete Swype.apk
4. Go to system/lib and open the search method in the menu and type in Swype. This will search for any files containing the word Swype. There should be two of them one of which is swypelibcore.so and I forgot the other. If you don't see either of these then you are fine to continue to the next step.
5. Install the swype.apk you downloaded earlier and let it do its thing. If it says your device isn't supported you downloaded the wrong swype. It needs to be WVGA because that is the resolution of our device.
6. If you get force close after installing, restart your phone.

-Lower MFLOPS benchmarked with Linpack.
-Cant use FPSe(New Playstaton emulator on market), it's for 2.2+ =(.


Please, please only try this if you are comfortable with flashing. I am not responsible for those who mess up their device by lack of research on the topic.

Hmmm, I think I'd like to test it out to see what it's like. I never ran DJ05, mind posting the goods for me?

having spent extensive time on both...djo5 with voodoo does not outperform ebo1 w/ voodoo...while ebo1 v5 is not optimal obviously as its just the stock kernel w/ ext4...its pretty stellar

im sure some people would agree with you, but personally..i dont :)

and really if dj05 v5 was so much better...wouldnt we all still be on it?

I must agree with N17 after I recently did a factory data reset and reloaded DJO5 and used it for a few days i went back to EB01 I did notice that with my reset I loaded minimal apps and no wall papers and very few widgets on my home screens I am now using the same battery charge for 24 plus hours I am very happy also sc2.9.1

Well, without even having tried, I am now not going to bother...N17 has definitely proved himself around here in my book, and if he says it does not outperform, then it does not outperform and it would be a waste of time. SO thanks for the input guys.

Just my observations...don't get me wrong I love EB01 but its so buggy and I was not experiencing the snappiness I am now. The market apparently loads way faster with less issues, apps download and install faster, SD scan is faster, battery isn't bipolar I've had less drop in battery than on EB01. The color fix is great and the sound is amazing. To me right now being on DJ05 is way more worth it until custom kernels for EB01 are released. Other things I've found to be better are people receive my texts all of the time and better reception.

I would still try it. I was hesitating too but finally decided that I wanted to know what this voodoo thing was about. If anything you can flash back but trust me I didn't spend time typing this post for nothing.

I'd go back simply for the sound fix, because most of what I do on my droid is music-related, but I'm too lazy at this point. :p

Crazy to think how long we've had leaked Froyo, and Verizon still doesn't have an official update out.

I am on SC 2.9.1 voodoo. Reverting to DJ05 voodoo sounds like an interesting exercise, if it does not cause the bricking of my Fascinate. Hopefully, the OP will eventually be edited to clearly describe how one might execute the change, including all steps. I feel comfortable with Odin and CWM, but I get confused regarding what modem, kernel, baseband, etc to flash, and in what sequence. Looking forward to a step by step description of how to go from SC backwards to a DJ05 ROM..

LOL, I'm still on DJ05. Mostly due to laziness of flashing a simple modem XP

With all the sleeps of death that I am having here lately...I am in the process of flashing back to Dj05 with Super Dark and using Voodoo v5 with lagfix for the first time. I am excited about it :). I will let you know how it turns out in the morning.

Yeah, I personally prefer DL09 over EB01 for a number of reasons, but I hate that I'll no longer have access to flash and certain apps. That's pretty much the only reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to DL09. I admit that I have gone back a couple of times because battery life is better, Voodoo Sound is amazing, and there are tons of overclocked kernels, and it's faster (especially if you use a Blazed Eclair kernel). I've never bothered going back to DJ05, however, since I started using the official DL09.

Why isn't flash on 2.1!? :( If it was, I'd drop EB01 in a heartbeat.

Well, I am. :p

Voodoo Sound and BLN are essential. Go SirGatez go.
well if you require voodoo sound (i dont listen to music on my phone) then i get it...bln, while certainly nice, isnt a deal breaker for me

but for those that think performance is better on eclair v5....well....:rolleyes:

What's the hard evidence that EB01 performs better? Thought in theory it should that doesn't mean it performs up to par.

maybe you consider performence just quadrant scores.. I consider the fact that there are flaws with many things in the froyo leak. And none that I can see in dj05 therefor if you can so without fancy lockscreens and flash.. <dj05 :)

Quadrant scores have actually been better on DJ05.
