Anyone interested in 2.1 still? I like a few of the Froyo roms out there but they are still missing many essentials for some folks. Anyways, what I'm getting at here is, let's bring the speed of 2.2 to 2.1! Anybody interested in helping me get a JIT compiler working for espresso? I have tried playing with a few made for 2.1 but haven't had much luck. I have looked around and so far no one has done this for the MTS. Anyone interested in this or I am on my own? The problem I'm having now is any script I run fails because of system being read only except while in recovery... Any suggestions?
-------------------BETA V1--------------
Okay... First things first! Thanks to Ace42 for finding a JIT add-on to start with! I definitely couldn't do this from scratch. I am still learning a bit about android and have to start with something small. This a basically a JIT add-on that will enable JIT for all MTS 2.1 roms. It has ONE flaw. The proximity/light sensor doesn't work. I have tried to edit the build.prop numerous times with the same results. So, I have included an "off" switch that will restore your sensor and will disable JIT at the same time. I used my build.prop from Eugene's Slide MR1 v4 rom that will restore your phone and by doing so turn off JIT. It should work on all 2.1 MTS roms including sense. But just in case, please make a backup of your current rom using nandroid. Sense, Legend, stock-rooted, or Nexus 2.1 ports should ALL work with this.
Not responsible for damage, blah, blah, blah, and there won't be IF you back up with nandroid first!!!
_____ what doesn't work_________
-light/motion sensor (ONLY ON VERSION 1!)
_____what works?_______
-everything else as far as I know
(report any other issues, please)
____stability?_________
solid like a rock. JIT worked poorly on many other phones because of the memory it used and was more of a compromise back then on the G1/MyTouch3G. thankfully, we have plenty! .
____instructions______
backup with nandroid through clockwork first
flash jit-on through clockwork
that's it!
flash jit-off when you need light-sensor or if you don't likey
report any issues and remember this a beta!

You might get better scores depending on OC, lwp, programs in the background, etc.
________ATTENTION DEVELOPERS!____________
If you have any suggestions... please do so!
___________UPDATE 8-25-2010 V2____________
Okay, I have a new version to post. It's not as fast as the first version but you will see a minor improvement in speed compared to stock (or whatever you had before) and it's stable plus everything works. Don't get too excited... it is very minor speed improvement. I got up to 1 MFLOP improvement and up to 65 point improvement on quadrant from regular slide mr v1. both were tested with the oc kernel v3 set at 768. I know! They aren't impressive like before but an improvement none the less. The only thing I can figure is our version of sense ui, espresso, is causing issues plus these aren't originally built for the MTS.
__________UPDATE 8-26-2010 V3_____________
Okay, I have figured out some stuff finally and this is the best I can do for a while. I will try and build some lib/dalvik files from scratch or better source later for a final release but that will take a while. Few weeks at the most. Okay so... usually 2D/3D scores increase a good bit with JIT enabled (like on v1) but for some reason they are only increasing a little bit with v2. THAT is what is causing v2 to be half the speed of v1. There is no fix for this WITHOUT breaking the light/motion sensors. BUT... what I can do and have done in v3 is increase heapsize causing v3 to be a bit faster than v2. Remember, just because the graphics doesn't increase a ton (like version 1) doesn't mean that the system speed won't increase. She's pretty fast now on v3. We're 75% there now, lol! I am now scoring 4.00-4.65 linpack and 415-445 in quadrant consistently. THAT IS A BIG INCREASE FROM STOCK WITHOUT JIT. Without JIT, I'm luck to get 3 mflops on linpack. That's overclocked at 768mhz and running Slide MR1 v4 (which tends to get way lower scores than the latest rooted ota). Enjoy!
_______________VERSION 4 (9/1/2010)_______________
yea! I finally got jit working full speed like version 1 but with no broken components! I also corrected a reboot issue some might have had (including myself) that happened periodically. The reboots happened due to the heapsize being too high in which i was trying to compensate for the odd slower jit speed. So in version 4, I shrunk the heapsize back to a normal range and added a warnonly optimization that might have had something to do with it to. So full speed was acheived due to a particular live wallpaper that was cutting speed in half. It is called Beautiful LiveWallpaper and I suggest not using it if you want jit to work at full speed. All other lwp work fine though and okay. I have tested 15 of them and if you have any slow downs (less that 4.5-5plus score on linpack or 450-500plus on quadrant)... try changing yours too, I doubt you will though. That paticular lwp (which isn't too preformance intensive) slowed down 2D/3D and memory by breaking jit somehow. I have run more preformance (plus high memory using) lwp with no problem so it was just due to that particular "evil" one. This version 4 jit hack should hold us over until tmobile decides to drop the 2.2 ota and at the same time fixing most custom froyo roms (it should, imo). Enjoy! If you don't report any issues, I will call this one a final release since everything is stable and fast for me and I won't know otherwise. So speak up if you have any bugs, questions, or issues and I'll try and help. This one is the real deal so have fun and enjoy the speed!
New screenshots with average scores from version 4...
___________SENSE UI alphas (testers needed!)___________
okay... I have a new version that is supposed to be better for sense ui. Please, those who having issues... try this out and report any bugs. I already flashed it and it works and I will continue to test it also. But I really don't have a pure sense rom like you guys and again only some might have issues while others don't (or very few). try it out and let me know. I will do the same....
more... (read on)
okay i have two tester jit zips now, lol! they both from different sources and have the same build.prop settings but they actually different lib/dalvik files so... I'm hoping one will be stable. I will test both but I really need you guys to test them too. may those with the most problems (seems to those using the rooted lastest ota) can try both and see or keep a log or something counting errors/reboots. just refer to them as 1 & 2 when reporting your finds. thanks guys! I want this to work as bad as you guys and want something pretty stable to hold us out until the 2.2 ota drops! we need speed!

What script? At the moment unless we can convince Unrevoked to take a serious look at our device there just isn't going to be any way to write to /system in the near future. Attach/send the script and I'll provide suggestions on how to modify it for day-to-day use.
As far as getting a compiler with JIT, I'm not even sure where to start looking honestly. If you know where the source is then chances are I can hack it up. Best way to get a hold of me is GTalk - PM me for that. I won't be awake until 4pm CST, however.

Why would someone want 2.1 with JIT when we have numerous ROMs with the same features (and bugs) but with delicious Froyo awesomeness like apps2fat32?

Maybe cause many still prefer the Sense ui instead of the plain vanilla found on froyo..I for one am sticking with 2.1 cause I like how espresso looks. There is JIT for 2.1(sense,its old though) that works on sense(tried on g1 roms & hero)...But i dont know if it works for espresso too, last time i tried it wasn't very stable..Even with the froyo feats I still want this ui instead, Ive been using vanilla 1.6,2.0,2.1,2.2 on my G1 and now im happy with having the chance to run sense smoothly for the first time.There's no way im ruining this experience by putting vanilla on here.

Why not just wait for the T-Mo update then? It will most likely be out in a few days. Far more stable than JIT on any 2.1 ROM IMHO
i dunno if it works but CR's OTA 1.35.531 ROM has jit, i havent used it, but i know if you go into terminal and su and then type
Code:
chka2sd
itll tell you whether your apps run from sd or internal, same for dalvik-cache, and some other info and some things you can do to change those configs like to move dalvik-cache to sd or back to internal..then if you type
Code:
a2sd help
itll give you some commands you can run and you can enable jit...
FAKE EDIT: i just ran a2sd help and it seems that the commands for jit say specifically "Do not run this command if your device has nand protection active." so i guess it wont work on slide...sorry for the false alarm.

I dont mind waiting for 2.2, the phone is fast , plus I just added Dumfuq's OC so its like super quick now. Apps on instantly even faster than on stock. I was just saying that there is a 2.1 sense compat JIT out there in the wild...but i dont recc using it something so unstable, its from one of the legend,hero,eris devs though, if i find it ill post it here.

have you tried making an update.zip with the needed files from another version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345213&stc=1&d=1276842897
okay that link is for the sense JIT i was talking about, maybe it can be modified for espresso, who knows. Please dont flash it cause i cant say it would actually work.
Just a thought...
I would think this would work as is with two problems.
1) instead of the build.prop included, an edited one from the stock rom would be needed (trivial to fix)
2) system apps in the espresso stock roms use odex files so you can't just clear the dalvik-cache for the new dalvik-vm like you normally would to do something like this.

Well, I will say this much... Out of all the froyo roms I tried, yours is most stable. I actually tried it last night and it works nicely. Very few bugs compared to the others. And I do appreciate that your rom was the first froyo rom for the MTS to have Apps2fat32 working properly!

Thanks Ace! Everything works but the kb lights. I about had a stroke when open terminal emu and saw "with_jit" after typing the usual. Any ideas, what killed the light? Everything else is pretty rock solid. My quadrant scores increased 150-200. Nice and speedy!
UPDATE: So far, I modified build.prop with the proper espresso info and left the JIT stuff in. It works but it doesn't seem as fast as when it was unmoddified. Can someone take a look and compare this to the other version?
oppsy, here's the updated zip.

JIT is "supposedly", give a 3X-5X performance boost to android devices, but maybe that is only in reference to the 2.2 ver of JIT. When we "get" 2.2 it should have JIT, I think the Evo's 2.2 feats JIT too.

I get that much. but rememeber dusted donuts? It had JIT working on donut. Besides, the zip you posted works! JIT works on 2.1 right now. I've got crazy speeds but the ONLY thing not working is the light/proximity sensor. I tried adding stuff to the espresso build.prop but it doesnt give the speed like the unmoddified one you provided but the light sensor works on that one. They all state with_jit while typing dalvikvm -h in terminal emulator. I'm still working on fixing it but the one you provided works... huge speed increase and all... just no light sensor
Okay, well if anyone's interested... I figured out a few things. JIT will work on 2.1 but you lose your light/proximity sensor but it can be restored easily. I've been working all night on this and can't really find any other solution. I've modified every version of JIT add-on packs from various websites with the same conclusion. This should work all ALL versions of espresso 2.1 (including sense, nexus, legend ports, or originals). Of course, root is required. And a backup isn't necessary but recommended. Just flash JIT-on in clockwork recovery and flash JIT-off to recover. This isn't my original work and just merely modified one of the many JIT add-ons out there (this particular one provided by Ace42). So this just a compromise basically. Speed for no light/proximity sensor and you can turn it off in a recovery/reboot step. Make an Nandroid backup just in case things go bad (99% sure it won't but you never know) for ya. Enjoy the boost!
If anyone can figure out the light/proximity sensor issue, speak up please! There are a few of us that might appreciate it

I dont mind losing out on the light thing, i prefer managing the brightness myself, i was shocked at first when the brightness kept changing and I didn't know it had a sensor on it. so its stable and everything? Any changes in linpack or even bootup?

One more bug and its a major one... the market doesn't work I've tried more modifications but nothing helps but adding espresso back as board name. but when you do that... jit stops working. so right now we're at no light sensor or market. I am stuck at this point and we might as well wait on froyo ota or the devs here to work it out. But yeah, I was getting in the 600's everytime on quadrant and 6-7 linpack. But with market not working... and not being able to get it working without jit working, I'm at a loss here. I guess we'll have to wait and see if anyone has any sugguestions to fix this or on the ota. I'm sorry. At least we gave it a try.
I for one reverted back to the OTA 2.1 by Chiefz...something about froyo blows. Can't put my finger on it...maybe the apps2fat32. I dunno...just my opinion. I agree w/ sino8r.
here's my update for the zips. They don't work any better than before (still no market or light/proximity sensor) but they are a bigger step in the right direction. This is for any developer who might wanna look into it and make a suggestion or two basically because at this point... I am at a loss.
I am only posting this so those who like to try new things can try this setup. It is not for everyone, but my phone is amazingly snappy, apps are opening pronto, and my battery/gps are perfect.
I am currently running Eugenes Ginger Clone R2:

Notes: this does not have the shortcuts in the notification bar and also does not have swype (note the name of the ROM.... dont complain about this).
After my initial boot and getting everything all setup I flashed the JL4 stock + voodoo, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
With Eugene and supercurio combined the only way I am going to shift from this is if they themselves update, or Cyanogen comes out... stronly suggest trying this out. Be certain you are comfortable with this before trying it. You will need to disable voodoo before flashing anything else.
to disbale, go to the sdcard/voodoo folder and create a file named "disable voodoo" (without the "'s") and then reboot... it will then convert back from EXT4.
HUGE THANK YOU TO EUGENE AND SUPERCURIO - my phone might as well be the Nexus S (but with an SD Card and Gorilla Glass)!!
Anyone else running this? Do you agree that others should try it?
Not what I'm running, but lets make this a "my ideal setup until CM" sorta thread, which is how I read the subject line at least.
So far, my favorite themed setup was Frobuntu, but I had some issues with system processes chewing up CPU. So now, Blackhole. 1.1 was great, just flashing 1.2 now. Customizable - I love that. Just pick what I want in ROM Manager and it loads up. No hunting down extra files to flash or ADB push, dealing with megaupload, hotfiles, etc. I think I'm staying here until we get a CM or true AOSP build.
This setup sounds like one I've seen before if I could only remember where I saw it ohh I'm running it and it is fast but I put swype back in it I like the speed of swype the jl4 modem wasn't giving me the best connection but jl1 is pretty good but my phone is running fast as fast can be

Been getting this (at least) for a while already with Axura + Voodoo. Maybe typical for many of the popular roms when combined with Voodoo. When the 2.2.1 based ROMs become stable on the Vibrant, combining that with Voodoo might make me want to change. Other than that, short of GB Stable becoming available I probably won't see the need to change.
ooo i was flashing a wrong VOODOO not the one you told me to, disabling the old one and gonna flash the new one and tell you results.

Once again, thank you to all the devs that put their own time into cooking ROM's, kernels, etc. for the Galaxy S, Samsung should really give up Galaxy S branding to XDA devs, so far Samsung have shown zilch interest to stand up by their promises and product.

umm, i undid my LAGFIX, and downloaded the one you said to,and flashed using Clockwork now my quadrant score is like 900, am i doing it wrong?
I know this is a polarizing question, but I need to find a ROM that works best for my dad's Fascinate. Basically it needs to be stable and have decent battery life. It doesn't matter if it's a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. Thanks for your comments!
there's a whole list of roms in the development section so you can take your pick, most are stable and provide pretty good battery life though it varies from phone to phone.. as for personal recommendations, I ran Adryn's SuperClean rom (last and latest version is 2.9.2) over a debloated stock EB01 rom, it was very stable and battery life was above average compared to my use of complete stock VZ rom. Second I would recommend what im running on now, Ultimate KangBang (UKB)/Community Rom (ComRom) 2.1. its pretty stable, little bugs here and there but overall very nice and battery life again I would say is above average. Of course this all depends on the custom kernel you choose to run with the rom, I am on UKB 2.1 with stock kernel because my Fascinate doesn't take kindly to undervolting or overclocking so no special kernel for me... hope this helps, take a look around this forum and read the different rom threads in development to see how to install/files to download/known bugs within the rom/user feedback
tapatalked from my KangBanged Fascinate
vote for Comrom 2.1 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073363
I hate to say it, but if all you're looking for is stable and decent battery life, go with stock. On a particular phone another ROM may be more stable or offer better life, but no ROM will do so across the board for all phones. Most likely, whatever ROM you try will be no more stable and have no better battery life than stock.
Of course custom ROMs offer other benefits such as being de-bloated or de-binged. But for stability and battery life you are at least as likely to be worse off with a custom ROM as better. You can improve the odds substantially if you have the time to test out different ROMs and settings to find out what works best for that particular phone, but it doesn't sound like you do.
Well i have used practically all the ROMS available at this point ( except CM ) and with my personal experience i can say go for
DEBLOATED , DEODEXED, DEBINED ED01 and you ll get the best battery and a very very snappy setup , i have done this alreday , initailly there were issues as i didnt follow proper procedure , but when i installed the stuff properly it was working like a charm
have a look at the process

Hey man I was wondering if you did this I tried it and it all went to hell after I installed tsm parts kept fc tw.app...... You know. I tried reinstalling the tw.zip and still nothing. I love the stock feel but the lockscreen drives me insane. Note I used landsharks odin file to stock db/do because the orginall zip failed download three times, but I intalled imnuits -50 before tsm parts

well TBH i didnt go for the last two things that is
Sbrissen's tsm mod package
The shortlight package
so cant tell , but i think if you follow the procedure as dnoyeb has advised there shouldn't be any issue whatsoever. ( i remember there one type of lock in TSM which was causing issues and one experimental thingy in launcher which was in beta , if you avoid these two u should be good , i cant really pinpoint em as atm i am on dl09 )

I need help deciding which rom to use. My main concern is battery, which one of the roms have the best battery, same or better to stock 2.2.2 Froyo with Gingerblur.
Thanks for you help in advance!

Great question. Same deal here. I'm gonna wait a bit longer myself.

The biggest difference I can find by looking through both threads (Cherryblur/Ninja) is that Cherryblur also supports the international build of gingerbread (being 4.5.2.0 OrangeFR), whereas Ninja only supports AT&T.
However, there are other minor differences. One difference is that ninjablur uses the new market, whereas cherryblur uses the old market.
But cherryblur seems to be more of a complete rom from the info given in the first post. These are features that it offers that ninjablur doesn't (according to the ninjablur thread):
2048k SDCard Buffer
Circular Battery and Custom Data Icons
Battery fix implemented
10 Point Multi-Touch
Proximity updates in build.prop
Avoid screen staying on in calls
WiFi scan in build.prop set to 90
Preinstall script neutered to avoid install of AT&T crapware
QuickOffice app REMOVED
Tethering enabled to use stock Hotspot app!
AGPS Enabled
Shows a menu item under location for VZW, supposedly enables AGPS from YOUR network (not just Verizon)
MMS "Reply to all" Enabled
Untested, does it work for you?
Max recipients of SMS/MMS increased to 20
Untested, does it work for you?
Disabled the locking of Default APNs so you can edit them
GTALK WITH VIDEO!!!
WEBTOP OVER HDMI!!!
Re-added ICE for contacts
WAKE ON VOLUME HACK!
Also, don't be afraid of the red theme, you can download a theme uninstaller that will give your phone the stock look (while keeping all of the rom features).
I would go with cherryblur.

Actually both use the old market.
Also know that none of the available themes will work on the cherryblur rom.
My advice: try them both for a few days and see which you like best.
If you use CherryBlur, you might have to flash the 4.5.91 radio to get 3G working if you're on AT&T.

Ninjablur thread says it uses the new market.

old market. Originally new, but I think patch .3 version went back to old.

Ok thanks for clearing that up
I had the 4-5 beta, then ran CherryBlur .5 and switched back to beta 4-5. When CherryBlur 1.1 came out I switched and stayed until version 1.3. The webtop had stopped working for some reason so I tried Ninja .4 and the speed freak .5 version. Ninja runs really good but I think that CherryBLurs 4.5.2 runs better. Seems snappier between screens and opening apps. Like the person above said, try them all out. Heck about a week ago I was on rooted on 1.5.7 and have learned to flash, unlock my bl and managed to soft brick my phone LOL. I definately am learning. Being I had carpal tunnel surgery and I'm home from work the next few weeks, I might try to learn more about ROMs and stuff.
Two new kids in town... Cherry(3.142) and Alien...

I've been switching between the two and to me the latest Cherryblur seems the snappiest and most stable, I was getting a few FC's with Ninja SF.
However, I don't like the theme on Cherryblur and can't seem to flash mattedblues
Ninja Vs CherryBlur
I was on the same dilema for a few days reading long posts on the Ninja Trhead until I decided to give it a try(Ninja)
- Went directly to Build 2 and have not experienced major problems so far other than the Theme refuses to install.
I came from Ronaldo´s Rom which is very stable and also based on Ken´s work but a little slow and nothing special featurewise. Also I was experiencing a few connection problems and GPS a little slow to Fix.
Ninja is fast, as I said, theaming does not work for me (I think I know what I am doing but it just refuses to install from CWM nor Rom Manager) As I cannot get the theme to install and a few features are based on it, there is nothing more I can add on that regard.
I am concerned on the maturity of the rom and how slo it is movin forward in fixing bugs/adding features..
Sorry, cannot say much about C/b since I have not used it but from the paper I think is more mature and also based on the old market (Ninja is on the new whinch I dont get along well with.

Very nice wiki site for for the Atrix. And it has a page with chart of all of the custom ROMS.

I am constantly playing with and 'tweakin' my Streak and have put together what I think is a good, lite, fast, and stable rom. I made this for my own use and decided to share it with the rest of you.
I started with 354 then removed all apps that could be downloaded from the market. I also removed alot of stuff that I didn't think was necessary (such as all the verification*.apk's, don't even know what they are). There are only 17 apps in the drawer on a fresh install! I added DJ Steve's kernel and some memory tweaks from using the HTC Kitchen. VTL Launcher ADW is the included launcher as well as Swype for the keyboard. There are also some customization provided by UOT Kitchen as well as a modified Settings.apk that I got from somewhere on here. I'd love to thank whoever made it, but I have lost track so if it's your's---thank you!
I'm getting Quadrant scores in the 1400's and battery life seems pretty decent. I gave up on Quadrant scores. My best guess would be low 800's for this version. I have found through trial and error that higher Quadrant scores mean less stability, and honestly I can't tell the difference in real world performance between an 800 QS and a 1400 QS. I can't tell you exact battery life because I haven't hardly put this thing down since I installed this.
I am not an expert by no means and have only gotten these results from tinkering and trial and error. I think this is good, but am open to suggestions for improving it.
I started off by installing stock 354 using stock recovery, then installed this using Streakmod recovery and did a Factory Reset (Dell's, not Streakmod's). I have had no issues so far.
I have seen this posted before and liked it so I'm going to use it here: If you find a bug, you get to keep it. If this breaks your Streak, you get to keep the pieces. Obviously installing a custom rom breaks your warranty, and I am not responsible for whatever happens if you install mine.
Thanks to everyone whose ideas I stole/used/borrowed/whatever. Without the true experts on this board, I wouldn't have had anything to tinker with.
What works: Everything I can think of
What doesn't work: Waiting for you to tell me. The time in the status bar is black and the status bar is blackish...makes it hard to see. I don't know why and haven't yet figured out how to fix this. If someone has a link to a good tutorial and I can make it work, I'll be happy to resolve it!
So without further ado, I present Streakin' 354v1 354 v1.1:
http://www.multiupload.com/1MVM3O34AN v1.1 *newest*
http://www.multiupload.com/BHI4Y4XD69 I'm leaving this link for those that prefer v1.
I do intend on maintaining this rom and tweakin' it more based on recommendation, more stuff that I learn, etc. I do have a full time job, so even though I want to answer questions immediately, it's not always practical. If it takes me a while to respond, I apologize in advance.
Edit 09/24/11 - If you prefer landscape mode, simply flash the attached file below in recovery. Be sure to wipe cache and dalvik-flash after flashing. After doing this it took 5-6 minutes for my phone to boot, but it did....eventually. You may want to backup first! I also added a portrait mode file in case you decide you don't like landscape after all. Enjoy.
Edit 09/25/11 - It was pointed out to me that this ROM does not have a init.d folder. I forgot to add it, although the support to run scripts in init.d is there. Until the next version comes out, using Root Explorer, or similar, create a folder named init.d in /system/etc/ and set the permissions to rwx,r_x,r_x. That should be all you need. Thanks.

Get a different launcher ................turn off screen rotation in the android system settings............................................................................................................................................................
in the settings.apk, are there any theme changes? or are they performance tweaks?
and what files are you using with dj steve's kernel that keep your wifi working?
Thanks in advance.

It's just a themed change....colored icons and such for settings.apk.
As far as the files, I'm not at my computer (I'm at work), so I'll have to get back to you on this.

I didn't like VTL Launcher either, until I went into the settings and turned the left and right dockbars off. Now it's not much different than ADW and rightfully so, since it's based off of it.
7h 15 min running the rom
The rom running well
I have changed the launcher to go launcher after loading the rom running fine
battery life--15% in 7h 15 min

Try "orientation control" by "coin soft" to lock your streak in whatever orientation you want. I've got it on my streakdroid and it works fine
Just an observation here. You might want to contemplate recreating this ROM using 360 as a base instead of 354 due to the more complete language support in the former compared to the latter.

I had contemplated using that rom as my base, but noticed everyone had better battery life with 354. 360 was listed as being an "update" 351, which gave me horrible battery life. If someone can tell me different as far as battery, I don't think it would be difficult to redo this based on one of the others (360 or maybe 364?)
Grateful your work!
Grateful your work! I am pleased that contains the settings for Japanese.
Parts of the screen is also very beautiful!
I will continue to use this ROM for a while.

I see no reason why the portrait mode file located here wouldn't work:

Just choose the one for 354.
OK, I woke up to find my phone stuck on the Dell logo. I had plugged it in before going to sleep. A battery pull later and all seems well. Anyone want to tell me how to start troubleshooting this?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
OK, I removed DJ Steve's kernel and replaced some files that were changed to accomodate it. My quadrant scores are now in the 800's and I'll report back with the 'feel' of the device and stability over the next day or so. I love seeing high scores, however must admit I've never really noticed a difference in day to day use with the higher scores. I will take stability over high benchmark scores, but will take noticeable speed increase over a little stability if that makes sense.
Quadrant is too overrated as a benchmark. Stick to a reliable & stable build

I think I believe you...so far (about 3 hours or so) and I can't tell the difference in performance. Granted I don't use 3D games and such...
I added your rom to the big Wiki Rom List
if something is off for your rom feel free to tell me, or change it directly
