Considering leaving Stupidfast for Voodoo5 - Fascinate General

I'm running Super Clean .9 with Stupidfast and i am considering leaving stupidfast for one of the OTB Voodoo Kernels. I need to know what i need to do to make it happen without killing my phone.

Learn what voodoo is/does

Read read read...be confident about what you're doing before you flash... I've been running voodoo for a while with no problems... Be patient during the data transfer and remember once you flash voodoo only use the RED clockwork recovery...

I love the performance boost I see with voodoo, but it seems to come at the expense of battery. Not sure why this would be, but it seems to be the case.

I saw a battery hit when going to Stupidfast 1.54 (may have been due to enabling BLN, not sure) so I went back to 1112_test_novoodoo and stayed there. Am I the only one still using that kernel? Has everyone moved on to stupidfast/voodoo5 kernels? Other than the annoying MMS problem that I can't even say is the kernels fault, I am completely happy with the 1112_test_novoodoo kernel.

I tried them both and can say I have enjoyed my experience with Voodoo5 and the 12/16 kernel much more then stupidfast. It just seems to have the best battery life and speed compared to anything else out. Also I have yet to experience any bugs like I did with stupidfast w/google maps 5 navigation not working correctly.
I would try out the non-voodoo kernels first to see if they work for you. If you are still unsatisfied try out Voodoo 5.

Quadrant scores before/after lag fix!!

This is on a rooted, running bionix 1.9.1 with jacs oc/uv current. With set cpu at 1200/200. Before ryans 2.2 lag fix= 956 after lag fix= 2458. Not to shabby. Lol

Could You Point Me To The Direction Of Installing This? I Don't Know Which One To Do Lol
Is your phone rooted? If not can you access recovery by holding down the up and down volume buttons plus the power button?

If you download ryanza oclf from the market. His imsrtuctions are pretty simple. I wrote them down after reading them in case I needed help. Lol

I tend to find this lagfix not nearly as effective as Voodoo or another fix that actually reformats the system space. My understanding is that RyanZA's lagfix creates a virtual drive on top of RFS, so it looks blazing fast on Quadrant, but in real use you still see lag. Also, it halves the available app space, which I dislike.
Where can I get voodoo for bionix 1.9 FINAL? I didn't flash 1.9 team whiskey with voodoo..
VibranT Bionix
I just rooted an installed Bionix Fusion 1.1 on my friends Vibrant last night, and while trying to apply Voodoo it seemed to be doing it, but doesn't appear to be installed.
When doing the update.zip method, it showed a screen saying something about "Voodoo Lag Fix..... Some weird characters on screen are normal......" then it flashes big blue lettering REBOOT and it restarts. Is that sucessful? How can I check if Voodoo actually applied? I see no difference and the quadrant score actually lowered a tiny bit. Do you HAVE to have setCPU for voodoo to do anything?
I rocked somewhere in the 1900 range with just applying z4mod (stock JI6) - stellar compared to stock.

To check if you have voodoo installed:
Download Terminal emulator from the market.
Open it and type "mount"
Look for /dev/block/
If it ends in a 4 then you have voodoo. If it ends in 2, you do not.

+1.
Although I'm lazy and hate typing stuff, so I just run Quadrant. If the score is ~1900, Voodoo is on; if it's ~950, it's off.

In the Dev forum, go to KingKlick's or JAC's kernel threads. I think they both have Voodoo versions of their kernels. I'm using JAC's w/ colorfix and Voodoo. You can just flash it over your current installation.

In terms of actual use, I think Voodoo is way better. I still saw some lag with Ryan's, but Voodoo is super smooth. Ryan's is a bit of fakery that hugely boosts Quadrant scores but does not do that much for you in real use.

Beta 4 is supposed to work on the early Vibrants with smaller NAND, but people have reported it working on some larger ones as well. You can find instructions in the forums to see which you have.
I think ill stick with ryans for now. My phone is really smooth now. Voodoo may be superior but its bit more complicated to work around. Im not comfortable enough yet to try it.

Anyone? Overclocked kernel without voodoo.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an overclocked kernel without voodoo? I have not been able to find an overclocked kernel that doesn't have voodoo. All the kernels on rom manager don't seem to be overclocked, and the only overclocked kernels I've found in the development section are dirks oc with voodoo. I do not want voodoo.. tried it and it was a nightmare to remove and I kept have strange problems with my fascinate. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Geeknik has an OC kernel for you. I know this was from months ago.
http://www.totalnerdity.com/sf/
There is not a very high chance that you will find an OC kernel that is non-voodoo. The OTB kernels from nemesis2all are very good and very stable, though. They are voodoo, but they are voodoo5 with the built in Red CWM that allows you to flash stuff with voodoo activated, and it also makes it easier to turn voodoo on and off.
If you are really that shy about voodoo5, though, I don't think there are any OC kernels that aren't voodoo.

Set CPU is for use on Overclocked Kernels, not to overclock per se.

What is the best kernel for vibrant

Guys im ruining on nero v3 and jk6 modern and the voodoo 5 stick kernel that came with nero v3, with voodo enabled. so problem is that I run out of battery fast faster than stock jl6 on 2.1,so what is the best kernel with good battery life and performance. Stock kernel gives me some lag. So il avoid that one.
FYI: Voodoo will ALWAYS drain your battery faster than stock.

this is a result of "journaling" correct? I think we need to have the caveat that although voodoo kernels will run down batteries quicker... they also protect the integrity of the file system better.

If voodoo drains the battery quicker then what about oclf? And if the voodoo kernel drains battery quicker then what is the best other alternate kernels.
why not try stock kernel?

Voodoo or Non-Voodoo

Has anyone run the voodoo-ed superclean (either 2.2 or 2.3) in comparison to the it's counterpart non-voodoo-ed. I'm wondering if there's any noticeable difference. Or in other words if lagfix is worth it? I jumped from dl30 to 2.2 voodoo, and I was blown away, but I can't get my phone to act right, and I'm wondering if I should just wipe clean and start fresh with 2.3 non-voodoo-ed. Thanks for any comparison results you guys can provide.
Personally, I haven't had great lick going back and forth between voodoo and nonvoodoo. There are plenty of instructions on here that state how to do it properly, however. And you always have Odin (that is if your USB port is working...) to restore to stock if necessary.
I tried both, and personally I saw a huge improvement in speed and overall responsiveness with the voodoo version.
If you really want to be blown away, try jt's aosp v 0.7 -voodoo version. Its what I'm using now, and it will take alot to get me to switch.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Not familiar with that version. What base is it on?
Dl30. It's in the dev section. I would post a link but I can't from here.

Why are you still on that when EB01 has been released? Just curious.
Because my computer will not recognize my phone in download or as mass storage. I started a thread in the general section if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Is jt's AOSP completely finished and stable? I'd run it but I don't recall it being 100% complete...
Unless you need camcorder or mms, for the most part it's complete. I think the benefits of how fast it is and how good it looks outweigh the few things that don't work.

have you done a total wipe between upgrading between roms? have to flashed the eb01 modem with odin?

Thank you.
I could be mistaken but I'm fairly certain that Jt's .7 is running on eb01 or something like it. He has a custom kernel for the rom so I don't know how it works out, but I'm under the impression that it is eb01 at the moment, and you can use the eb01 baseband regardless
Edit: To the above, bluetooth is not working either, and thats a big feature for some

Simple ROM Request

Is there a EC05 ROM out there that is not OverClocked, has ad block, has CIQ removed, rooted, journaling on & has the keyboard fix? Bloatware removal isnt totally necessary but ideal... Havent seen anything, my phone doesnt seem to handle overclocking well.. Thanks for any info!
Roms aren't overclocked by default, Syndicate Rom Frozen has everything you are asking for, turning Journaling on is literally as easy as making a NAND backup and flashing it.
He is right. Viper rom fits your needs. Oc happens with the cpu apps. Stock flash will give you 1.0ghz cpu speed and no undervolt, but with a quick dl you can take it to a speedy 1.4ghz with battery sipping uv. Search viper rom synergy.
