Heya everyone!
I'm trying to run Bionix Fusion 1.1. I've flashed to the JACS Voodoo kernel, but for some reason, Voodoo won't enable. There are no disable-lagfix files on my phone, and for some reason there isn't even a voodoo directory anywhere to be found.
I tried disabling and then re-enabling Voodoo, and nothing happened; "Linda" said nothing whatsoever, and boot times were normal. I also tried re-flashing the ROM to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Did you read the second post in the Bionix Fusion thread?
None of the packages from Team Whiskey for Fusion include Voodoo!

I should have mentioned that I installed the Voodoo kernel from JAC after flashing Bionix ^^

I see. Do you have a larger NAND?
Voodoo directory should be in /sdcard/Voodoo, if it is not there I am not sure if creating it will give you the dragons though

I checked, and I don't. I know I'm probably just overlooking something really silly.
Thanks for your input! ^^
Maybe the back kernel support files?
I am not sure if JAC jernel packed with Bionix includes it.

I've replaced that kernel, though. I'll try flashing the stock version of Fusion and then flash Voodoo over that...
No dice. This is odd; I've had Voodoo working flawlessly on my phone before
It is either back kernel support files or I am of no help here sorry.
You flashed update.zip for Voodoo from http://project-voodoo.org/download#SGH-T959 right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791478 I actually flashed that. I'll give your link a try.

Thank you! That worked
Before you do that, here are a few posts from that thread you posted about the back kernel support files, I believe Eugene provided those for us

P.S. read your post after I posted above, glad it resolved your issue!
to the op- did you notice any improvement? I'm on fusion right now and would like to do this, but I'm just getting my feet wet with flashing roms. still nervous about a kernel.

Oh yeah. Voodoo makes this phone into a beast. If you want numbers, my Quadrant score went from ~700 to ~1,800 points. All around, the phone seems much faster and less laggy.
I'm happily running EViO 1.8 with the modded #15 kernel, but want to try out Net's and Ziggys. Is there a package based way to revert to the stock kernel if I don't like them or is it only via restoring the nandroid image of /system and /boot?
Calkulin has made his ROMs (current and prior) and the kernel used in 1.8 available here.

Thanks nviron, that was exactly what I was looking for. I do wish there was a native package manager so you could be sure you removed all the trailings from a previous kernel or package before installing another.
Think RPM or .ipk
Just remember to clear dalvik cache (and or other cache?) between flashes and you should be good.
Also, be aware of some issues with some kernels. For example, with net's 4.3.x, I had to power the device down after the first boot, power it back up with power/vol-down, and wipe dalvik cache again. Otherwise, it hard locks for some reason. Once this is done, however, it works flawlessly.
Yeah, but where is the fun in that?? lol J/K
Wait, I have an idea!
Code:
# apt-get remove htc-sense

nivron,
I just noticed your sig, that is exactly the setup I'm considering, Ziggy's 1/21 kernel, how do you like it for:
a) performance?
b) battery life?
c) compared to net's 4.3.1 havs nosbc?
A. Excellent
B. Excellent (with -100uv script)
C. Comparable so far, but haven't had the combo running long enough to give you a definite answer. ROM and kernel combos require a break-in period.

I've been running Ziggy's 1/21 for a few hours now and it seems pretty stable and performance seems decent. I'm considering dropping the battery saver scripts and going to smartass as conservative has a bit of ramp-up time between when you start doing something and when the governor gets your CPU speed up to match. Also, I like the idea of smartass handling the screen state in the governor instead of a script.

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to tweaking the fascinate, and had some questions regarding flashing different kernels.
1. What kernel should I flash? I'm running superclean 2.9.2 with nitsuj's gingerbread theme. If there's any more information you need to know, just ask!
2. How would I go about flashing the kernel to my phone?
Thanks!

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. I just downloaded the overclocked kernel that sfournie posted below. I thought that simply using superclean made my phone fast, overclocking makes the thing about as snappy as a chihuahua on a caffeine overdose (Recorded ~1600 benchmark stat). The soundfix is awesome, and the colorfix makes everything lose that stupid blue overtone - so that rocks too! I don't know if that kernel down there is posted in a sticky, but if it isn't, then it should be!
If you have superclean 2.9.2 then you have a variety of options. You can flash an overclocked kernel which will make your fascinate more sharp and crisp, (you need setcpu which you can get from market)
To flash your going to download this zip file, move it to your sd card, then boot into recovery mode, then you want to select install zip from sd card, choose the kernel you downloaded and hit install. Should work fine, just make sure you that you use kernels meant for Superclean 2.9.2
overclocked:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011626
aggresively undervolted: (a little safer, more conservative yet very well performing)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012571
For this one make sure you understand if you have voodoo or nonvoodoo
EDIT:
Here is a great compiled list, you want to find the kernels that are touchwiz kernels.

One thing to note: I've noticed that a lot of people recommend Wiping your Cache and your Dalvik Cache after installing a new Kernel.
You'll also want to wipe your bstats if you plan on sticking with a kernel for a while as it might give you more accurate battery %'s. You can do that by downloading a terminal emulator from the market, running it, type "su" and hit enter (a permissions window might pop up here, just click "Allow"), and then type "bstats" and hit the enter key again. This will immediately reboot your phone. After 1 or 2 complete cycles you should notice better battery life and %'s. Note: You should generally only do this when your phone is fully charged.
Question...I follow your directions. I've installed multiple roms on my old moto droid via manual style and rom manager. However, just switched to the fascinate and installed superclean 2.9.2 as well. When I reboot into recovery though, it doesn't give me the option to install from SD. Do I need to flash to a different recovery? Currently it's latest edition of clockwork mod.
You may have installed many roms, but only one rom is active at a time, otherwise the old roms are just files and don't mean anything (I think).
What recovery mode are you running, what does it say cwm number is? It should definitely have the install zip from sd option, use the volume up down and power key and edit key to navigate.
I figured it out. I had to select the apply update.zip to activate the next menu that actually let me chose to browse the SD

I used to run about 900 with just superclean nonvoodoo which was fine with voodoo (stock kernel) it was about 1000 and then with the undervolted kernel it was around 1500, the overclock i have hit 1800. but i chose the undervolted because it is battery efficient and just a little more practicle while not losing much performance.

Its awesome. Now, I have heard that our processor is capable of being boosted to 1.6ghz. Is this true, and if so would it be stable?

Our processor doesn't overclock properly, and the further from 1.0GHz you get, the more "off" it is. People have pushed it to 1.6GHz, but it was found out it wasn't actually running that fast, and anything over 1.1/1.2GHz has had stability issues.
Would there be a reason why my phone will only work with jt's 327_2 kernal none of the others will work even if I do a data wipe they still force close like crazy and if I plug in the phone it just starts restarts its self over and over.

The only thing I can figure out is the rom your using isn't compatible with the kernel look at the link I posted above. Specific kernels are for specific roms other than that they should all work fine. I installed every kernel for superclean rom and they all worked.
What rom are you using?

Did you use clockwork recovery or try to do it through rom manager or some other program? I always use clockwork recovery. Anyone else have any insight?

We are not responsible for what happens to your phone. Always make a nandroid before using.
This is Adrynalyne's first kernel for the HTC Thunderbolt
This should work with any rooted sense rom currently available, but as stated above always make a nandroid to be sure
Latest Version 2.0
-smartass is default, tweaked, etc
OldLatest Version is 1.9
-ext4 support --nfs support removed for now to cut down kernel size (wasn't loading as modules) --on demand default governor until tweaking of smartass is perfected. This will make the benchmark folks happy --tweaked smartass --other little tweaks
OldLatest Version is 1.8
-Fixed 2D rendering, improved quadrant
-1.8--removed gps+ patch because it sucked ass
OldLatest Version is 1.7
-Changed up higher end voltages
OldLatest Version is 1.6 (This does not mean overclocked to 1.6 people )
Includes:
-perflock disabled
-undervolt
-swap
-neon and cortex opt
-rndin-gpu+ patch
-conservative, interactive and smartass govenors.
-standard slots no OC
-Changed up higher end voltages

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're really opposed to CWM, couldn't you just unzip the package, flash the kernel with fastboot and push the file in system/lib using adb?
Anyway, Smartass governor? Wow, having had a Droid X before I feel like I've really been out of the loop. Read up on it, I like it. It's good to have a kernel that I feel I can relate to.
Still charges in cwm when off just displays cwm recovery screen if fastboot is not enabled.

Hi all,
My Galaxy S i9000 will arrive tomorrow and I'd like to be prepared how to and which kernel to flash.
I'll probably just flash JVQ, the latest official Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. But I can't decide which kernel to use. My main priority is the performance and safety (by this I mean recovery options).
I have found two kernels which might fit my needs.
First of all SpeedMod Gingerbread. It has EXT4 lagfix and sound improvements etc. It seems good to me.
There are no instructions for this one, but my guess is to just flash the .tar with ODIN as PDA?
Second I have found CF-Root. There are clear instructions so I don't need help how to, but is this a good option as a kernel?
What kernel do you think is the best for the Gingerbread ROM JVQ?
Also, what about CWM? How do I boot into this recovery? Does it replace the default recovery?
Sorry for the noob questions, but as you see I'm quiet uncertain about these things, though I've read alot.
Thanks
Stock JVQ ?
Why won't you flash a custom ROM ? For example you could install Insanity's, Darky's, etc... which are sort of "packages" containing everything you are looking for.
Each one of them have a specific forum in Dev, with flashing explanations.
As for kernels, if I ever needed to change, I'd go for Glitch.
I would wait and use cf root when its released and if your not happy with the speed then use an oc kernal.there are many packages that will be available for all the mods you want in the themes section.this way you will be as close to stock as possible avoiding any unwanted issues
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've considered Darky's 10.1, but I dunno, I don't like the green colors and everything.
Insanity and glitch look cool. I must have overlooked this ROM, I might consider it. Thanks for the tip
Stock with CF-Root seems to be the fastest in Quadrant. I'm in doubt.
bro i think u have to keep Cf-root i install jvq and put Speedmod in it but u cant image it doesnot contain Superuser and cmw after that i install Cf-root it really better then speedmod this time not always.........i hope u can go with cf root
Have you considered other kernels like Semaphore, Galaxian or Talon?
All of these have OC/UV capabilities, EXT 4 and more performance tweaks than CF-Root itself.
Speedmod is currently undergoing major developments (less stable versions being tested). You can wait until it has a stable version before flashing.
And you can buy Voodoo control plus if you want great sound.
I know Talon has Voodoo sound v9 built in. So, take your pick
For stock JVQ I recommend to use stock kernel until the custom kernels have updated JVQ initframs.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'll look intro Talon. I won't overclock my device as I want it too last as long as possible The Voodoo stuff seems interesting. Would it work if I just flashed it over CF-Root? Guess not. I would have to flash the stock kernel and then Talon again?
With the latest stock JVQ I'm getting 1400 score in Quadrant, kinda low. I'm now attempting to convert to ext4, but the system folder has too less space, trying to move some apps.
Edit:
With everything converted to ext4 I now have 2300, that's better I'll leave it like this I think. I'm fine. Thanks for the tips
In that case i would recommend to use Talon 0.3.1 without OC.
