Help with upgrading ROM. - Fascinate General

I'n on DI01 and about to buy Titanium to upgrade. I keep gearing about DJ05, DL09, DL30, and EB01... what should I upgrade to? I'm new to this....

DI01 (upgrading soon)

DL09 is the latest official update from Verizon. It will have the most kernel's and ROM's available.
DL30 and EB01 are the Froyo leaks, with EB01 being the latest one. You are basically stuck with the stock kernel for now. Some ROM's and theme's are available for both leaks right now, but not as many as DL09.

Personally I'd go with the new. If you're new at this you'll need support and it'll be hard finding it when a vast majority will leave the other roms/radios behind. Go with eb01...

Install eb01 you will have a stable device with less issues.

Does that mean DL09 has problems, per se?
... Doesn't that also mean bloatware?

I don't think it has any major issues. It was released to fix the issues in DI01. But it is still Android 2.1
If you use a stock update then yes the bloat will be there. But there are also clean ROM's you could use.
But if you are switching your phone around anyways I would go for EB01. You can always switch to DL09 if you don't like it.

Wait... I don't understand. EB01 is Froyo but not 2.2?

No no no, DL09 and previous roms are all Android 2.1, aka Eclair. DL30 and above, including EB01, are Android 2.2, aka Froyo.
If you want DL09 (Eclair), there are myriad choices available for custom roms. DL30 is already obsolete by virtue of EB01, so for any DL30-based distros I would wait til they update to EB01 (if that is to be the final 2.2 build). Otherwise, I've run the EB01 stock (ran very nicely, even with the bloat) and am currently on Superclean 2.1 (EB01-based) and have been happy with the performance.

Now, is there an ad blocker in SC2.1, does it kill bloat, and what's the advantage of 2.2 over 2.1 other than flash? I may want DL09 instead just because of themes.

There are alot of performance updates in ebo1. Plus the themes that received the most praise I'm sure will be ported over. You're not running voodoo (As your sig suggests) so you will have a noticablly difference in speed...I'd go with adryn's sc 2.1

Alright, cool. Anything bad as far as compatibility?

Sorry for double, but can I go straight to SC 2.1? Or is there a stock EB01 I need first?

Agreed.
Can you go to Settings - About Phone - and at the bottom see if your phone says DI01 or DJ05?
I really think you're not running a custom ROM. If you were, your updates would be disabled.
Anyways, let us know.
BTW, this is directed at the OP of this thread.
It says the update is DH12 to DI01
And no I'm not on a custom rom just rooted along with justina 1.2 voodoo kernel.

I would say you need to load a DI01 rom so you don't lose root. Might get a little tricky with voodoo on though.
Any other input?

Remove the old voodoo completely and upgrade to DJ05. Or just ignore the update and carry on.
good day.

You're on an older build. If you want to get up to speed with the rest of the community (to be able to use current roms/kernels/themes), you should check out adrynalyne's posts in the dev section. First disable your old voodoo by adding disable_lagfix file in the voodoo folder on your sdcard, and then reboot and let it convert back to rfs. Then get the dj05 files from adrynalyne's post and flash the dj05 modem.tar in odin.. then boot into cwmrecovery and flash a dj05 rom and a nonvoodoo dj05 kernel, which can be obtained thru rom manager. Then after you let it get thru the first boot process, you can reboot into recovery and flash a new dj05 voodoo 5 kernel, if you want to go back to voodoo. If you want to overclock, I recommend you download one of Nemesis2all's OTB kernels listed in dev section. If not, you can use one of jt1134's voodoo 5 kernels. Geeknik has some nonvoodoo overclocked kernels as well, but only nonvoodoo.
DI01 is still an old build. Most everyone is on the leaked dj05 build now, which hasn't been released officially.. but it fixes gps and some other problems found in di01 and older builds.
If you have any trouble with disabling your old voodoo or converting back to rfs, adrynalyne also has a very useful post on how to completely remove voodoo.

Voodoo on super clean 2.1 EB01

Just wanted to know if there were any notable performance gains for normal use other than benchmark scores using voodoo vs non voodoo. I was using voodoo on 2.1 but 2.2 seems so fast already.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Voodoo will help media scanner finish faster, as well as help with installing apps or any other application that does a lot of read/write to memory.
So I see that Superclean 2.2 is out for EB01. I am a bit new to all of this and have had awesome success flashing to Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo and installing some themes.
If I want to try out voodoo, do I just need to flash Superclean 2.2 Voodoo version via ROM Manager? Or, do I have to install Superclean 2.2 Voodoo and then go install the stock EB01 Voodoo Kernel as well?
Also, since I am already running Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo. When I go to flash the voodoo version, do I have to wipe all cache and data?

There is a thread called eb01 voodoo that contains a voodoo kernal for eb01. Download it and flash in recovery. Works over superclean 2.1 novoodoo.
Thanks a lot! Actually just I saw that someone responded, I was in the exact thread that you speak of and doing this actually crossed my mind. Must be some Voodoo magic going on.

Or you could just loaded flash the sc 2.2 voodoo package. Adrynalyne usually includes the kernel in it & I bet it's the one from JT.

Yes, there is only one standard version and one Voodoo version of the Froyo kernel available, since there is no source code to modify it any further yet. Any current rom with a 2.6.32.9 Voodoo kernel is using the one from jt.

I am running superclean 2.2 non voodoo and then I flashed just the EB01 voodoo kernel. If I want to upgrade to SC 2.3 should I flash the voodoo or non voodoo version? Any wipes required? Do I have to disable lagfix if I am upgrading to sc 2.3?

quick question on voodoo

I am currently running the leaked voodoo kernel on eb01. Wanting to flash the new one jt just posted.
When exactly do I need to disable voodoo? I know I don't have to flash when I change themes, but what if I wanted to switch to a different eb01 rom down the road? What about flashing a new voodoo kernel later on? Or is the only time I need to disable voodoo lag fix in cwr when going to a non voodoo kernel?
If you are going from voodoo to voodoo there is no need to disable.
Btw I think the one he posted is the only one out

Voodoo on superclean upgrade question

Since I don't have my ten posts to ask in the proper Dev thread...
Looking to move from superclean 0.8 w/ voodoo kernel to superclean 2.4. There's a link to both voodoo and non voodoo superclean roms now (instead of the typical rom and then choose your kernel). Does this mean I don't have to disable_lagfix and can jump straight to superclean 2.4 voodoo?
I would recommend disabling lagfix before you flash to 2.4 with the new kernel. I don't know if it is absolutely required since I didn't have a choice when I first flashed but it never hurts. Keep in mind that you will also need to flash the new modem.tar from Odin (unless someone has repackaged).
You might want to checkout http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956289 to see if one of the all in one Odin .tars might be a better starting point for you. Then upgrade to 2.4.
I did not disable lagfix when I first flashed 2.2. I had no issues. For the few short minutes it takes to disable it, its never a bad idea.
To be sure, disable the lagfix. I've always done this even when going from one voodoo ROM to another and have saved myself the countless time, headaches, and frustration of what could happen if something goes wrong. It's so easy to disable it anyway, the minute it takes to do it is good insurance IMO.
Going from voodoo to voodoo ya don't have to disable.

Actually, this is one time you do. When going from an Eclair rom with Voodoo to a Froyo rom with Voodoo, disable the lag fix first. Those instructions come from jt1134 and/or Adrynalyne (can't remember which one just offhand). I could be wrong, but I think that has something to do with needing to install a newer version of the red Voodoo CWM that's compatible with Froyo. Once you're on Froyo, flashing any Froyo roms with a Voodoo kernel should work just fine without disabling.

[Q] Do DL09 Roms work on EA28??

Do DL09 Roms work on EA28?? Esp super clean 0.4? Thanks in advance!!
Isn't EA28 a mesmerize or nonverizon-Fascinate update? If so, DL09 is a Verizon Fascinate update, so there may be issues updating or you might mess up your phone.

Yes, still on 2.1, waiting on some Gingerbread goodness, but might flash Vanilla Froyo.

No. EA28 is the emergency call button fix for DL09. It basically is DL09. So would DL09 roms work?

EA28 was the last VZ official Eclair update. It's identical to DL09 crimson what I've read except they fixed the emergency call issue.

There's a flaw in your understanding of what a ROM actually is. If you flash a DL09 ROM on your phone, you're going to be running DL09. You can check and see if the EA28 fix was rolled into Superclean, it's possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't since they've been banging away at Froyo for a while now.
I don't know that if you revert to DL09 if the fix for emergency calling will still be there.

I know what a rom is. Maybe I should rephrase, do DL09 roms work with a EA28 radio
