how do you know I have Voodoo installed? - Fascinate General

so I ran in to some trouble and my buddy reset my phone after the voodoo fix using clockwork...now I'm not sure if I still have the voodoo fix or not... Is there a way to know if I have the voodoo fix installed or not?

Connect your phone to your computer debugging enabled, and go to cmd, type adb shell mount, when you have vodoo, you will see ext4 reported all over in the display

If u don't understand how to use cmd prompt, look at your internal storage and run a quadrant benchmark, if bench is above about 1000, u either have voodoo or froyo, and I highly doubt u have froyo.

how can you *NOT* know if you have voodoo installed?
if you pay so little attention as to what you do to your phone.....you probably shouldnt have ever flashed voodoo in the first place

Well it's not like it's a night or day difference
Other than the fact that I know its on my phone, because I put it there, I haven't really noticed anything amazing about it. Matter of fact if I had not put it on I wouldn't even know it was there...unless I tried to do a nandroid restore or adb in recovery or any of the other things that could cause it to brick your phone.
Matter of fact I think it runs slower than my plain old dj05 SuperDark ROM with Stupidfast kernel setup did and it has far worse battery life.
I'm sure it does something, especially if it has to do with I/O, but I've yet to see it.

DUAL LAG FIX!!! it works!?!

I put on the new Voodoo Lag fix and have had no problems. My phone is as fast its ever been. Because before that I was using ryanzas lagfix on the market and kind of made my phone faster. So I removed ryanzas and put on the voodoo, and found I could still apply ryanzas, so I did and my phone is super fast. At least I feel like its faster. So for the devs I know this isnt a q&a but is this actually working, and can u guys apply this into ur future work?

curious what tests have you run to determine it is indeed faster? I need to go back and read through Ryanzas lagfix but from memory I thought it created an EXT partition just as the Voodoo lag fix does.
If this is the case there would be no speed improvement as your system is only using one EXT partition so running the 2nd lagfix does nothing or changes the size of the EXT partition created by Voodoo.

Ok so all I do is try to make my phone faster when I have time. But I partioned my sd on my mytouch with amon ra then I put my sd on ext 4. Than I ran the voodoo lag fix using the the deodex rom. Voodoo lag fix put my quadrant scores at 1700 about which seems realistic. Because with ryanzas I was getting 2400-2500. But I only had 500mb of app space left bcuz of the partition. But after voodoo I have 1.4mb and I ran ryan zas on top of that and I have the same 1.4mb left. I think I can run both because the voodoo lag fix is a system partition and ryanzas is only virtual. At least thats what I think thats why im asking for help. But I run about about 2000 to 2100 on my quandrant scores and my phone has no lag at all.
I say try it if u can because my phone has never been faster. I dont know why it works but I believe it does because I can see and feel a difference in the phone. Everything runs so smooth. Its fantastic!!!!
Why stop there? Install another lagfix and I'm sure your phone will be 3X as fast!!!

Rsfaze already explained to you why it wouldn't, both of the fixes do the same thing and by doing the same fix twice they do not combine to give you double the benefit.
Imagine your hard drive is fragmented and your PC is slow, well you defragment it and it becomes faster. What you are essentially saying is that if you keep on defragmenting it it will continue to become faster which is ludicrous, unless you can post a quadrant score of 3000
Iirc the virtual ext lag fix simply cached some of the data for quicker access, and that's the increase you're seeing.

Ok true, but arent the lag fixes different? They arent set up the same and put on different ext's
And why did it improve my quadrant scores? and usually the phone wont allow u to apply two
Lag fixes at once when they are the same thing. Because I am using the lag fix apk and the voodoo lag fix through rom manager. Try it and tell me what u think?

Hey man, if those placebo pills work so well for him, don't stop filling his prescription.
Well i honestly dont know the details behind it but I can say that my phone does feel faster. So try it for yourself and tell me what you think. It is perfectly safe and you can always remove it. But just apply the voodoo and then go on market, and get ryanzas lag fix and apply that too. I am using the deodex rom so I dont knkw if that makes a difference. But thx for explainations. Later

Haha, I seriously doubt this works, run 4 quadrant tests, the first being stock with no lag fix, second with one of the lag fixes, third with only the other lag fix that you did not use before, and lastly run a forth test with all of the lag fixes and post all the scores generated by quadrant.

Stock odin 900
Ryanzas one click 2400 not believable but thats what quadrant says
Voodoo 1700 can see a real difference
Jacs kernal and no wake 1400 can feel diffrence mainly bcuz of overclock
Voodoo + ryanzas 2100 feels smoother and faster than just voodoo
Dont believe me than try for yourself.
If quadrant says so I believe it, though I am not able to try it I'm running the new leaked rom, I don't believe that is compatable with the voodoo lag fix.

Well the quadrant scores are just quadrant scores to me. I just go off of how many phone feels and what it does and it has never been snappier, my bro has same phone and he has the vodoo lag fix and we did a side by side comparison and mine was faster so I will let the people be the judge and let them try for them selves.

The voodoo lagfix uses ext4, which is a little slower but far safer. By installing ryan's virtual ext2, youve merely regained ext2's speed at the expense of ext4' safety along with the improvements gained from an optimized kernel.

Ext2 has a faster write but Ext4 has a faster read when tests where done on the two. You already mentioned the safety of ext4 which would be the journaling that Ext2 does not do.
I still don't think ext2 would be faster than ext4 but I could be wrong.

Captivate Froyo + lagfix!!!

I can confirm that ext2 lagfix will work on our froyo release (non-stock). I am getting 1800+. There will be more details to come.....!
Using the One-Click lagfix...?
On my rooted froyo, OCLF from the market works fine, thought it is ext2. Gives me a quadrandt score of 1897.
Yeah, I applied it as well, from the Android Market (search RyanZA). It seems to be working fine, and is quite a bit less laggy. Voodoo on Congnition was better, but as far as I know OCLF is all we've got for Froyo.
Yes, 2,2 and EXT2 is an awesome fix until we get Voodoo!!!
Yes the oclf works from the market , you have to root first. With some reading I have rooted, sideloading, ext2 one click lag fix, market access restored to all apps showing up again. Quadrant 1800+ linpack 14 +
Froyo 2.2 Rooted Sideloaded and Screaming Fast
Sent from my SAMSUNG-Captivate using Tapatalk
For some reason, both of the lagfixes keep failing on me... V2.1+ and 1.0. Oh well... guess I'll just have to wait a bit until someone releases a specific one for the Captivate. Probably won't take long knowing XDA.
This worked for me. I set a partition size of 1023 (tried for 1024, but couldn't) and I get benchmarks (just for reference, I know, I know) of around 1300+ in Quadrant. More importantly, everything is much snappier. It reminds me of going from iPhone 3G to 3Gs.
And what do you know? Cognition beta was just released.
Some issues, but that's what betas are for, right?
Love it! Wicked fast now. Scoring 1887 on Quadrant now.
the ryanza lagfix i get fail.
no dice for me... can't mount after partition is made.. says it is busy or in use'

For everyone having trouble with lag fix...
Reboot into recovery and clear user data and cache.i think zilch mentioned this in a thread. I was having the same problem and that worked for me. If you have trouble getting into recovery, search the market for <recovery reboot> (or something like that) there should be a little button you can download for free. It should take you straight to recovery. Try to do oclf right after you clear data and cache. Just make sure your battery is over 40% or it will not work
Voodoo vs OCLF
I am aware of the technical differences between the Voodoo and OCLF lag fixes, but OCLF seems to fix the lag in Nitrodesk's Touchdown more effectively. For me, at least.
I see posts where people are waiting on Voodoo for Froyo, but personally, I'd like a fix from Samsung. The lag shouldn't require community resources to fix.
It shouldn't exist at all.
Mine failed when I installed it. I had apps FCing the whole time while it was running the fix.
I imagine the trick here would be to apply the fix before you restore your software. Probably a no brainer for many.
Anyways, that was the final straw for me. I'm back to Cog 2.1.6 until we get reliable stuff. 2.2 was far too buggy as a whole.
I am still amazed that people publish benchmark results for OCLF and think it means something. <sigh>
real world use is the real test

New Aria user here...

Hello there XDA I just switched to the Aria from the Captivate. I am new to Android modding, so please bear with me.
I like the phone, It doesnt bother me losing screen space. However it is a bit slow with the 600 MHZ processor.
So if there are some people kind enough to guide me to/through the following it would be appreciated.
1. I would like to overclock it a bit, maybe to 800.
2. General performance tweaks
3. Get rid of Att bloatware
4. Root ( z4root is not in the market anymore and ATT disables side loading.)

Hey Joshua, being new to the Aria as well (less than a month), I haven't looked into overclocking it... but I am running CM 6.1 RC 2, what do I need to do to start overclocking?
Install SetCPU to overclock. I wouldn't go over 825mhz as it starts getting unstable.
As for rooting, search for posts by user asiancuta. He did a really good write up that included a key point I didn't see anywhere else. It's titled NOOBZ: easy guide to rooting your aria.... Read all instructions, and make sure you understand it first.

In the other overclocking thread (or overcloking as the OP spelled it ) several people posted that they were running at 864... what type of instability is likely? Also, doesn't overclocking HAVE to have some sort of adverse effect? Like reduced reliability or an increased likelihood of hardware failure? If there are no adverse effects, why would HTC not set the CPU higher from the factory?
I want to try it, but I feel like I pushed the limits of my comfort zone just by rooting and installing CM...

I always lean on the side of caution when it comes to overclocking a phone. I don't want to fry the processor since I can't replace it as easily as one on a computer.
Processors are never set from the factory to run at their fastest.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
While it might seem odd since all these phones have the same hardware they don't all respond the same to overclocking. Some people can do 864. I can't even get my phone to do anything over 825 and even 825 gives me issues. I like to keep mine between 768-787. Over doing it can cause damage and shorten the life of the processor but keeping it around 800 is probably safe as long as you moniter temps. Heat is the real enemy here. Manufacturers are trying to balance cost, reliability, battery life. Our little phone use a smaller battery and so a lower clock speed keeps the phone running longer. And the aria is a mid range phone, they don't want it to be faster than the more expensive phones. Also Higher clock speeds will drain your battery faster. At 768 the phone is noticeably snappier and the battery drain over stock isn't even noticeable.
Huh. That's good to know, Callmearia. However I don't even know where to start on any of this. I've never 'flashed' a phone or anything like that before.

This is a really good guide explaining how to root your phone and install a custom recovery, Clockwork, with which you can flash ROMs, make backups, and a bunch of other stuff:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788737
You will still not be able to sideload apps just by rooting though. You will need to flash a ROM in order to do that. Check out the Android Development section, it is all there.

I think most people can hit 864 now using CM6.1 RC2. I think some tweaks were made to allow it. Before I was only hitting 825mhz or 844mhz when I ran in to stability problems... but now I have none. Or, it could be due to the fact it's colder here now.

Place the .zip on your SD card. Enter clockworkmod recovery by holding down the volume down button after restarting phone. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Go to install zip from Sdcard. Pick the file. It should install. wait, and reboot and continue.
Customize it to your liking. Download apps/widgets

Droid X lag

One of my buddies at work has a rooted Droid X, and I couldn't believe how laggy it is, even compared to the stock JFD Vibrant.
I am not here to pick up the fights with "my phone is better than yours" type of replies, I am just looking for any pointers how to help my buddy because my Vibrant with Nerov3+voodoo (2.2 ROM with /system, /data, /dbdata and /cache converted to EXT4) runs circles around his DX.
I am not sure if it is an app or something that cause this (he does not have much installed), but even looking at the youtube vids of DX his phone feels like it's limping on a half a leg.
So far I know he is running the latest OTA and his phone is rooted, I checked his /system, /data etc are EXT3 - I assume the stock DX has a proper FS unlike my Vibrant when it was stock.
It's probably the blur elements. A custom ROM fixes that quite quickly.

Blur shouldn't make it lag that much. Some of his settings might be slowing him down. If he is trying to be real conservative on his battery and set it to "conservative" - it is going to throttle back his CPU usage to try and maintain better battery life.
Need to check a few things like that.
what kind of scores do you get in quadrant on your phone (if you aren't boosting them with the stagefright etc)?

I will see him after the New Year's and will check.
I am not sure what Quadrant scores he is getting, but the phone obviously not performing to its full potential. I get around 1500 Quadrant with EXT4 converted filesystem, it is under a 1000 stock. The boost in score is def the filesystem read/write + a small bump due to JIT on 2.2.
Once rooted try to get setcpu and leave it at 800Mhz permanently. That fixed my issues with lag. Of course a new Rom wouldn't hurt since Stock Verizon/Blur Rom sucks balls.

A few things I do to speed up the x are; turn off push for e-mail, freeze the stock applications I do not use via titanium backup, and use fast reboot when it slows down anyway.

Would not clearing delvik cache cause random reboot? I don't remember doing it so I'm guessing I didn't. I have the 1.5 kernel flashed now and when I had it maxed out it rebooted once while I was trying to post earlier through the xda app. I have it set to 1.4 now and haven't had a problem. Could this be the max my processor can handle? Should I even give the 1.8 kernel a chance given the reboot issue? Thanks to everyone who is helping.

You could wipe dalvik and flash the 1.8..I personally wouldn't set my max to 1.8 just cause I had problems overheating and a few reboots but you could try something in the 1.5-1.7 range and see how that goes...then again I over heated trying to get higher linpacks and ended up just over 65

I will give it a try and see what happens. At least I have nandroid to fall back on if all else fails. How about ROMs? Does anyone have any suggestions? I came from a Moto Cliq and was using ADLX's ROM (I think 2.1) and loved what he did for the phone. Definitely like using Launcher Pro but am growing partial to Sense. Opinions and suggestion openly welcomed. Will prolly try a few before I settle. I am definitley anxious to try Gingerbread but have heard that it may be skipped over for alot of phones in favor of Honeycomb?...

Dont't feel bad, I'm sure there'll be quite a few more users that can't make it that high.
@OP - I helped somebody in the IRC who got bootloops even when wiping cache and dalvik cache. Ultimately the only thing the worked for him was to flash the 1.5 then the 1.8. Every user will, sadly, have a slightly different experience.

Will be giving it a go after I get home. Work is such a burden when you have more fascinating things to do....

I have flashed the 1.8 oc kernel and seems to be stable at the moment. Scored a 2217 on Quadrant. Only minimal improvement from the 1.5 kernel. Scored a 2063 with that one. Also haven't maxed out the new kernel. Running just under max. Will do some stress testing and see what happens.

That's actually a pretty reasonable improvement. A few people in the IRC have broken 3000, including myself, on Evervolv. However, I had virtually NOTHING on the phone when I got that.
Its a shame benchmarks don't accurately reflect phone performance, cause this phone is amazing even on the stock rom @ 800 mhz.
