You use Doc's ROM, but do you not read his topic when you have a problem with Doc's ROM? This has been talked about several times, 5-10 pages ago or something.
It is also mentioned in post #2 of Doc's topic.
Note: some users have had issues with sound quality during calls.
Flashing a new modem seem to be one solution.
Try the JPP modem listen below. Flash from recovery

DO NOT flash any other kernels with this ROM, it will re-map your volumes buttons and your device will lose system and headphone audio. It is not stated in the OP of that thread, but I installed the VooDoo5 pre6 on top of this FroYo ROM, and had to Odin back to stock, and redo everything.
This is just an FYI, seeing as they DO NOT want this posted in the thread for the ROM. This information is also NOT in the OP for that thread, so if you didn't know, you would have done the same thing I did, and you will be berated for asking such things in that thread.

Uh, does this really need its OWN thread? You are kinda getting annoying, flaming people over there because it gave you issues. It is kinda common since not to use an I9000 kernel on your phone.

[Q] Some slightly newbish Questions

Hey Guys I have done a little searching and haven't found the answers to my particular questions.
I came from a MotoD1 and had done plenty of custom Rom flashing and I feel pretty comfortable with the whole process. Now my question is about the selection for the Galaxy S (specifically the Fascinate) phones. I see all these vodoo lagfixes and ext file system fixes and the like. Maybe I am over thinking this all but I am confused.
On the D1 you picked out the ROM you wanted and made sure the kernel was the correct for your version on android (Eclair, Froyo, etc.) And some times you found a ROM and kernel that just didnt work too well together.
Is the Vodoo kernel just a group of guys doing it like Chevy and P3Droid and I can flash it to any compatible versions of and android rom? or is it something slightly different?
An dwhat exactly is the lagfix?

Wrong section, please post in general.
Voodoo is lagfix. Lagfix fixes the lag. Though with the newer kernels, the lag isn't noticeable really. Join the irc and we will be happy to help you.

[KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate

Hi
You know maybe already some of my work even if this is my first post in the captivate forums.
Let me introduce you the stock+Voodoo stable kernels.
Those are built injecting Voodoo lagfix inside an original Samsung kernel built specifically for Captivate.
It comes with extensions like "su" and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Designgears help a lot during the development of this new stable release, testing endlessly new experimental code I was writing Thanks!
What it's not: voodoo sound, voodoo sharpness. Those improvements needs kernels built from sources.
Froyo only versions for now, I'll build Eclair version later.
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e)
UCJJ4+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...k+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCJJ4-unsigned-update.zip
UCKB1+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...k+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin

Well, this is a Captivate modem, designed to work with Captivate more than Frankenstein phones

let me se if i get it this is to be used with stock ROMS only? or i can be used with custom roms like perception, cognition & axura??
Cog and Auxura would probably be ok. I haven't tried it yet though. The "stock" he is referring to, I think, is Captivate based Froyo Roms (ji6, jj4).
do it work with JPU roms like Darky 5.2?
Does not work in axura
is not working with axura 2.2 i have no audio in phone call i can't heard nothing
just in case it matters i have JL3 modem with axura 2.2 any suggestions?
i used the odin version and flash it in pda section of odin is that the correct way to do it?

Unable to flash Voodoo Kernel

Hey guys.
as title says. i am unable to flash Voodoo's kernel on my SGS.
I tried flashing with CWM and Odin and still didn't get it to work.
I hope someone out there can assist me fix this annoying issue.
It also didn't work when flashing Darky v9.2 resurrection, after flashing with Odin and booting for the first time and installing darkyROM manager from the market and choosing my options including Voodoo Kernel and save and exit then reboot to flash it i just get normal 2e recovery.
thanks for having the time reading my post
I have the same problem and no answer. So i changed to Speedmod ^^
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967363 -<<< 75 Klicks and no answer. Maybe Voodoo is not so popular as Speedmod
damn.....
this is really weird, and the weird part is how none even replied or commented on your thread!
this is sad.
lets hope that someone will shed some light on us
Yes 2 poor boys in the same boat
But for me it´s ok....
I´ve seen that nobody is interested that Voodoo runs at all SGS´s to the contrary to Speedmod where i get much support
Let's make that 3 poor guys on the same boat.
I have the exact same problem as susdiehl. Logs says model not detected.
All I read about it is that my MBR is corrupted. But still haven't found how to fix that.
Supercurio suggested to do this: dd if=/voodoo/partition_tables/8GB of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 seek=446
This did something, and a conversion has started and completed, but then the phone wouldn't boot not even for hours.
Have you guys installed SpeedMod K13C? does this works well?
i have the same problem so i just use speedmode its works.

Yes im on k 13 c and everything is fine.no lagfix only the recommend tweaks.if i try to switch to ext4 with speedmod it works.
There is no reason for me to switch again to voodoo.
damn i see our boat is going to sink
regarding Hardcore's SpeedMod k13c its running great so far. I flashed it on the day it was released.
well the only thing that is annoying me badly is that i run on Darky's ROM and Darky himself optimise's his Rom for using Voodoo's kernels, and it really sucks that i can even experience what Darky recommends for his Rom's.
again lets all hope someone will show up and be able to assist us
Darky says take the Voodoo but the majority says this:
well thats true but i think Darky knows his Rom better.

I've flashed speedmod and activated the lagfix. To be honest, I think I didn't needed lagfixes at all, because I haven't seen too much difference in use.
Anyway, it is done now. I'm sure later the difference will show up

His kernel uses ext2, which other developers refuse to use due to a possiblity of damaging your phone.
In my experience, ext2 isn't any faster than ext4, not that I can notice.

The Noobs Guide to Root/ROM/Kernel/Theme Your Samsung Galaxy S! - By Totallydubbed

Hey everyone!
I have made video guides for 2.3.4 - Which can be found HERE
However this thread is solely for 2.2.1 & 2.3.3 videos!
So why am I posting?
Well I make videos - I love making videos, and I find personally the best way to understand something is to actually SEE IT for your own eyes - Not read it (I always hated reading)
So this thread is for those that don't like reading and like to get shown how to do things - tutorial or guides in other words.
ALL the videos are made by me
ALSO REMEMBER WHEN THE VIDEOS ARE MADE BY ME, I HAVE INCLUDED ALL THE LINKS TO WHAT I TALK ABOUT IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS!
Please do check that out!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off videos that work on both 2.2.1 & 2.3.3!
How to root your phone - EASY guide - SuperOneClick Method:
How to Unlock your phone (SIM unlock/not needed for SIM UNLOCKED users, like myself):
How to Disable/or upgrade your Voodoo - May be done in other ROM's and other Recoveries too (CWM in this case running on Voodoo 5.5.1) (In case you had it previously on, and you wanted to flash a NEW ROM or a NEW Kernel that has Voodoo too, VERY IMPORTANT to do, to prevent any conflict with ROM's or KERNELS):
If you are having phone/battery issues - Your Modem might be to blame - How to flash a new modem:
How to apply a bootanimation.zip - thus custom boot animations (Not as easy as the CWM versions)
How to install Swype on your SGS - in case it wasn't there, or have a slimmed down version, such as 10.1 RE and need it:
How to flash kernels very easily - Dark Core 2.5 is demonstrated in this case!
If you had enough or want to send it back in for warranty and want to go back to a STOCK ROM, this video shows how to go back to a 2.2.1 default ROM which in this case is JPU based, then update it to JPY and thus further updating it via Kies to JVO:
How to fix Carrier Issues on the Samsung Galaxy S
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos for 2.3.3! ONLY
First the latest JVH based videos!
How to flash the SLIMMED DOWN version of 10.1 - Resurrection - (ODIN flash)
Flashes the base JVH (replacing the old JVH flash) and can be used as a base when applying 10.1
Also about re-partitioning = follow this video !
Here is Ceriko's 10.1 version! It is basically identical to Resurrection, however can be applied via CWM3 - Thus if you are currently on 10.1 and want a slimmer version of 10.1, but do not want to use ODIN - thi is by far the BEST method!
How to flash the NEW RC 10.1 from the Darky team!
How to flash - Ficeto's JVH ROM - ODIN version:
OPTIONAL - Once on 2.3.3 and on Darky's 10.1 you can flash over a hack - which allows you to have the circle battery mod + green settings - YOU MUST be on 10.1 before you do this - although the link will have the full ROM just changes made to it.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO FROYO 2.2/2.2.1. DO NOT use this same method for GINGERBREAD/2.3/2.3.3

that would be:
reinstalling Darky's 9.5 through recovery but this time ticking speedmod as kernel instead of dark voodoo
I might switch back to 9.4 and or get speedmod back.

Is it possible to disable dark voodoo via clockwork recovery, then select speedmod in Darky's app and reinstalling 9.5 with no wipe. Or do you have to do a fresh install?

nop you can't do that
Although you will have to disable the lagfix (as shown in the video if it is enabled) before you install anything over it.
Do you know what version of SpeedMod comes with 9.5? Is it the latest K13D, or an older version?

Nevermind you've already answered me, cheers.
Useful information I sent to a youtuber:
Hi there!
Good to hear the gd news (he was having boot loops)
Several things:
-If you see that you are getting quite a lot of battery drain, I suggest changing the modem.
THUS:
the JVE can be changed to another one, like mine JPG and so on:
Here is how to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAg01h5tLV8
Links in description
+
More modems here:
(Enter it, then look under "2. i9000" then modems)
http://perka.zapto.org/
I have tried so far these modems:
-JVE
-JQ1
-JPY
-ZSJPE
-ZSJPG - currently on this one - seems to be working fine.
Modems determine several things:
GPS lock
Battery drain
Call quality and speed of surfing the internet over data network
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: you can also change the kernel for example, but stay on dark core for the time being.
I went from: Voodoo 4.5 to speedmod k13d to Voodoo 5.5.2 to dark core 1.0 to voodoo 5.5.3, back to dark core 1.0 back to k13d then to Damian's GTO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Themes:
How to apply CWM themes can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpjzUBNYmsg
IF YOU ARE PUTTING THE ONE, I HAVE CRYSIS REVOLUTION DO THIS before flashing it over (because the theme is so big)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEq_9X9yBvs
Just make sure you DO NOT install a GINGERBREAD THEME, as it won't work. youa re on 2.2.1 NOT 2.3
Conclusion:
First: Sort out your battery issues, leave the phone running for several days see how it goes, you should be getting over 10hrs on a single charge, i get over 24hrs
I got:
Voodoo kernels: 8hrs
Dark core: 12hrs
K13D: 28hrs
Damian's: 24hrs + (still testing)
So do this for 3 battery cycles:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-how-to-calibrate-your-battery.321/
then once you find that the kernel is fine with you, move to a theme.
If it isn't then change modem (as explained before)
If modem doesn't work, like you have tried the ones i suggested before + ones that relate to your region, then try a new kernel...that we can talk about later, but you can see which ones i chose.
Once the modem + kernel is fixed then move to a theme
The theme is the last thing you want to be worried about.
Once the theme is sorted you got the best phone out there, currently and can say "LOL AT YOU iFAIL4 user!"
Enjoy
Let me know how u get on.
