Short answer? no.

It's not uninstalled much easier and all it creates is high benchmarks. There is not the same type of performance gain as with voodoo.

I had some serious problems with voodoo and I wont install it again, but lots of people love it and have no problems. There are lots of posts on here if you do get in trouble with it tho - up to you I guess.

Hmmm i begg to differ ive tried both. Fixes browser slow loads and market. I noticed no difference. And im not much into Benchmarks. Whats the point.
Youll be hard pressed to find 5 apps that the fascinate can play.......that a old htc eris cant.
Lag fixes are artficial fixes in my eyes. but thats my opinion....im not a techie!

The ex2 lagfix isn't safe: it's prone to data corruption. I suppose if you're reflashing every other day this won't matter so much.
Voodoo is only ever a hassle on uninstalling, so it depends how often you're planning to swap ROMs. If you just want to set your phone up to an optimum point and leave it there for a while, it's essential. If you're flash-happy with new ROMs, you may want to hold off until we get a Voodoo-enabled CWM.

Um, sorry, but I call BS on this one. I have not seen one single thread on this forum that has anyone reporting days corruption resulting from the ext2 lag fix. Furthermore, I have been running it for quite a while, and have had absolutely no data corruption of any kind. I'd like to see some proof to back this claim.
Also, I have enabled and disabled it several times, all without incident, so I would say it's very safe when compared with Voodoo, even if the reward isn't as great.

You are welcome to call BS, but ext2 has absolutely NO journaling capability. Google it a bit, you will see there is a Hugely increased chance of data loss/corruption on power loss.
Its a fact, not an opinion. Hence, ext3 was superseded by ext3, and eventually, ext4.
Ok...
With so many Kernels out there, and so many ROM's out there....
Which is the best (and STABLE) Kernels out there that works your lifestyle?
Describe what ROM are you using (Bionix, Eugene, Anderdroid, etc)
And what OC/LF or OC/UV or ULF of some sort are you using.
Questions in mind when you post:
1) Would you mix match ROM's with other Kernel's?
- Example, Team Whiskey implied on his post on Core Kernels are MOST compatible to their respective ROM's....
2) Why do you think it's the best match of ROM + Kernel?
- Example, is it because it's quick? Fast interface? Love the overshooting points on Quadrant scores?
3) Have you ever 'soft' bricked while "experimenting" of mix matching the ROM's and Kernels? Or even yet, on each respective Dev maker of ROMs and Kernel?
Let the comments begin!
I've used the Bionix roms since 1.3 and found them to be great for the most part. Running onyx 3.2 now and working great. Mostly stock kernels. Tried the core for Fusion and liked it. Used JAC with oc/uv and liked that. Tried ext2 lag fix but found that my phone was smoother without it. No other lag fixes.
I've never soft bricked, and never odined.

The best lag fix is a universal lag fix kernel for 2.2 froyo. I am using masters auxara roms.

Best for me has been Bionix Final w/jacs OC-UV w/Voodoo.
Smooth, fast, bug free & great battery life. Can't ask for more.

Maybe some people are just comfortable of having 2.1 ROMs....
What's your fix?
I just got done flashing Vibrant's AOSPish 2.2 and i'm thinking of JAC's OC/UV. Right now, i'm about to see if Core is better....
Is it worth going too? Pros cons?

But to answer your question, it really depends on you and how you use your phone. Eveyone will have different pros/cons based on their individual experience. If you think you need it then go for it, if you're unsure then don't.

As was said, a lot depends on how you use your phone.
I was always down on Voodoo because of the potential problems it can cause, but I gave it a try a week or so ago. Honestly, I haven't seen much if any improvement in speed, but I probably don't do the type of things that would benefit the most from it - frequent read/writes to the file system. I think for general use, it really doesn't offer much.
That said, there's nothing wrong with it, a Voodoo kernel installs just like any other, it does it's conversion to EXT4 automatically, and it also converts back to RFS automatically after you set it to do so.
Even though I haven't noticed much of an improvement in performance, I figure I'll stick with it mostly for the new red Clockwork recovery.
The only con is that you have to make sure to disable the lagfix and convert the file system back to rfs BEFORE flashign a non-Voodoo kernel. Aside from that, there's really no other cons.
Just make sure you fully understand what's it's doing and how to disable it when/if need be.
Doesn't change a whole lot. I found a few apps load and operate much more smoothly, with a slight (maybe just placebo affect) increase in responsiveness. It really is not all that complicated to install, and I had zero issues with it. I stayed away after seeing all the horror stories, but after kaos showed up and informed us that we would need voodoo installed to eventually run his froyo rom I figured I would be making the jump eventually anyway and went ahead and loaded it. Just spend time reading through all the various walkthroughs and fixes. Make sure you understand what it is you have to do and follow the directions. Make sure you are comfortable with Odin in case something does indeed go wrong. I have yet to bork my phone and have to odin back to stock, but it could happen, so be prepared.
Did I mention read through all the threads and make sure you follow the steps to a t? Once you think you understand the process, read some more. Don't know about you, but I'd feel like an asshole if I left myself with a 500$ paperweight because I couldn't be bothered to read a few pages on a message board...
Thanks for the quick responses!

Noob question - what is Voodoo?
I've been using it for about two weeks now... but it can be a little confusing for someone who is just coming into the custom ROM scene.
Thanks.

It's a collection of enhancements to the Galaxy S phones, the primary one being a lag fix that converts the file system(s) to standard Linux EXT4 from Samsung's hobbled together RFS. The issue commonly associated with Voodoo is when someone flashes a non-Voodoo kernel over a Voodoo one. Since non-Voodoo kernels don't support EXT4, they can't read any of the partitions that were converted to EXT4 and all sorts of issues ensue. But it's not not all bad, converting back to RFS before flashing the new kernel avoids the problem, and even if it occurs (if someone doesn't convert back), there are clear steps to recover.
In addition to the lag fix, Voodoo has slight tweaks to the color settings and more significant tweaks to the sound options and settings.

There doesn't seem to be a HUGE difference in speed with the lagfix, but there's quite a massive boost in sound quality once you download the Voodoo Control App from the marketplace and use decent headphones. Not bad for an hour or two of downloading and flashing. The only worrisome thing seems to be the massive amount of warnings about flashing anything over the Voodoo kernals...

I agree. Honestly, I haven't noticed *any* objective increase in speed with the lag fix. I suspect 99% of the lag people experience is attributable to the bloatware Verizon saw fit to load on the phone, not any inherent deficiency in the file system used. Not arguing that EXT4 isn't better than RFS, I just don't think it makes that much difference in actual use. When it comes to kernels, I think there's an enormous placebo effect. Unless you're overclocked, I'd challenge anyone to show *measurable* improvements in real performance - not just meaningless benchmarks, but real improvements in things that would be noticeable in the actual use of the phone.
I wouldn't worry about the warnings though, they're not because the lag fix is inherently dangerous, it's more because of the number of people who can't or choose not to read and get themselves into trouble flashing a non-Voodoo kernel without first disabling the lag fix. Follow the forums for any length of time and you'll be amazed at how many posts you see saying:
"I have no idea what Voodoo is, but I installed it anyway, because I don't want any lag, and then I heard about StupidFast, so I installed that, and now I have zero internal memory, what gives?"
If they had made any attempt to understand what Voodoo is and does, they'd have avoided the problem. But in the end, it's pretty straight forward to fix even if you inadvertently screw it up, so again, I wouldn't worry.
I am struggling with my desire to try a voodoo kernel - but I am not sure that I need to do so... I use the phone heavily, with plenty of browsing and write operations, and as I understand it, this is where you see the enhancements provided by voodoo.
When I first started getting interested in Android, there was a lot of discussion on voodoo, who needs it, why not to use it, the troubles of removing it or disabling it, etc. But now, things have gotten better, it seems. We can disable voodoo in red CWM, it does not seem to create the headaches for people that is had to potential to in the recent past.
So, I am wanting to try it - my question is, as someone who has learned enough t0 be careful and perhaps just enough to be dangerous, should I give it a try? Just looking for some insight before I jump in with both feet - IF I should jump in with both feet...
Should I do it?
Jump in with both feet! However keep in mind that you should only do this if you know how to use Odin and have stock images.
Short answer: Sure. Why not?
Flashing an appropriate voodoo kernel enables red CWM, which is all you need to handle everything voodoo related.
These days, risk is minimal.
Voodoo was the first thing I flashed when I got this phone on DI01. Haha. Woops.. Even though I did run into some of the problems removing back then... I found that all it took was a lot of extra reading. With it being easier and less risky... Id say go for it, as long as you have free time and dont mind wiping.
that said, Im not using it.
but I'll probably go back if we get the voodoo sound running..
color too right? not sure if that works in EB01, didnt bother reading about it.
voodoo color looks nice on the voodoo homepage.
I have been using it since DL09..... it seems to get rid off the pauses and make my phone quicker.....the best way to explain I guess, is
If you have a computer running windows XP on 512 MB of ram, it runs, just every time you do anything it has a slight hesitation to it.....and then after you upgrade the ram it runs smoothly
That's how it feels going from non voodoo to voodoo....
Voodoo has nothing to do with ram.... its just that was an example I felt most people could relate to...

Voodoo4 -- the old version -- was a giant pain in the ass, and yes, was a bit dangerous.
Voodoo5 -- what we use now -- is almost impossible to mess up, and is no more difficult to install than flashing a regular ROM. If you're comfortable flashing ROMs, there's really no reason not to go with Voodoo5.
And trust me, you will see a noticeable difference in speed, even if all you're doing is web-browsing and using apps, if you go from the non-Voodoo to Voodoo version of EB01 (which I'd highly suggest).
Yea voodoo is fine, just when you have voodoo installed... PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU FLASHING. NEVER flash a non-voodoo kernal over a voodoo kernel. Voodoo over voodoo is fine, voodoo over nonvoodoo is fine, NONVOODOO OVER VOODOO IS A NO NO.
I've had my share of non-voodoo and voodoo experience. My best voodoo experience was with Blackhole 3.0, DL09 + OTB voodoo overclocked at 1300mhz. My phone was screaming fast and no lag whatsoever. Then DL30 came around and was using Blackhole 4.01 non-voodoo. The phone performed pretty well, not as fast as before but it was faster than a non-voodoo 2.1 kernel. I did see some lags here and there but nothing major. Then EB01 came and I went to Superclean 2.4 with voodo. I didn't see the type of performance I saw with OTB voodoo and I had some pretty bad lags but this was during low battery levels around 25% and below. Now I am on Blackhole 4.2 non-voodoo and the performance is very similar to when I was on Blackhole 4.01 (DL30). Also, I experienced my very first battery issue. The battery level shows 88% eventhough the phone says that the battery is fully charge in the pop-up message.
I was really hoping to see a significant amount of performance and battery life increase from Froyo but I am not that impressed over one of my prior setups with OTB voodoo kernel. The only cool thing for me on Froyo is the ability to install apps on the SDcard. I do heavy texting and accessing webpages simultaneously. I wish theres an OTB voodoo kernel for EB01. Right now, I am contemplating on going back to Blackhole 3.0, DL09 + OTB voodoo (overclocked).

So many o's....
Well thank you! This is a great host of information, and I think I Am leaping with both feet this weekend...
I am comfy with odin, rom flashing, and wiping (after backup, of course!), so I am feeling like there's really no risk.
I look forward to joining you all on the "dark" (?) side...
If I can ask one more question - did I read right (and you are more than welcome to scream SEARCH!, cause I'll be doing that too) that sound and color are not working on EB01 Voodoo kernels?
I wanna make sure I am not jumping in to remove functionality
Again, I appreciate all teh info!
Voodoo sound and color aren't working yet on EB01. jt mentioned something about it being a no-go until we have the Froyo source from Samsung. Voodoo sound was amazing and I'm hoping we'll get that soon.
SO what is in Voodoo?
I had Superclean 2.4 (EB01) and my phone had sound and color. I listen to Pandora during my commute to and from work.
I think this is what is meant by voodoo lagfix, sound and color. I took this from project voodoo's website. And EB01 only supports lagfix for now so your improvement will be completely speed and performance based
Voodoo lagfix: improve performance level and consistency by using
Voodoo color: enhance viewing experience by fine-tunings of the display parameters for global usage and video.
Voodoo sound: improve the sound of your phone to great extends.

thank goodness for this thread, i was on the fence about voodoo too but i'm just gonna do it. how do you go back to a non-voodoo kernel if you don't flash a non-voodoo one?
I really feel like I am asking to be spoon fed here, but I still get a little confused between ROM's and Kernels and compatibility. So does anyone care to suggest teh proper voodoo kernel for my setup? I am currently running JT's bootanimation kernel, blackhole 4.2 on EB01 modem, themed midnight.
I would presume that all I need to flash is just a vodoo 5 kernel (likely from JT, right?) but all I seem to locate are full rom packages. I am real happy with Blackhole and midnight - so will I need to install a full superclean, then blackhole back on top, then re-theme to midnight?
I hate to need this hand-holding, but I need this hand-holding at my present level of competent-ness
So right with me on non-voodoo superclean 2.4, is it as simple is just flashing superclean 2.4 voodoo version?

yes. download the 2.4 voodoo file, wipe data, cache and davlik and then wait.. it takes a while to boot the first time and ur phone will talk to you while it sets up. it is a 10 min or so boot so don't get nervous.
do not load download or use rom manager after u boot it.
voodoo has increases the speed of everything on my device by double.
you just need to understand that u can't flash non voodoo roms without disabling voodoo first. read the stickies on how to disable and also search forums and read about voodoo.
it took me a while before moving to voodoo but its something im glad i did. i tried for first time on 2.1, and started on 2.2 with no voodoo. but it sucked me back in lol and i love how it works.
Samsung Fascinate - EB01 Froyo. Running SuperClean 2.4 Voodoo
Well, I made the leap and I am very VERY pleased that I did.
Awesome, really.
I did not clear data, thinking I would have a try at it like that first and could start a new if needed, but everything is running beautifully. I only cleared cache and davlik... the phone is running amazingly fast.
Now I get to do my brother-in-law and my wifes today. Full odin to EB01, then on to voodoo.
Thank you for the info!!
ETA - of course, now I am questioning me not clearing data. Think I am going to repeat the process with data clear before applying the zip again. Is this necessary?
ETA - should have left well enough alone. FC hell now. Restored my backup and the phone boots, but everything FC's. Did a fix permissions, booting now to see. no help there, looks like I will odin back to EB01 and start anew.
hmm
so was originally on Superclean non-voodoo 2.4. Did a reboot to recover, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery status, wipe davilk.
Install superclean voodoo 2.4, reboot. Waited and listen to robotic voice. Let phone run through install, grab a drink, took a nap, la la la la..
phone now ready with Superclean voodoo 2.4. Restore app backed up with Titanium Backup.
i really did not notice 3G speed improvement while browsing or phone performance while using. Must be doing something wrong.
I just reverted back to DJ05 to test voodoo sound, color, and lagfix and I must say it's amazing. I hadn't really messed with voodoo until superclean 2.9 EB01 and it was ok but nowhere near as fast as DJ05 with voodoo. With EB01 I wasn't experiencing that snappiness that everyone is talking about but now I know. The headphone amplifier in the voodoo lagfix is AMAZING and lets me use my Klipsch Image S4's to their fullest. I don't think I'm going back to FroYo until the source code is released and awesome custom kernels like the one I'm on now get developed. Sorry if this is a pointless thread I'm just super excited and amazed.
For those interested in trying it out there are links below. Be sure to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. If this is your first time using voodoo do not use this post as a reference. I do not want to dedicate this thread as a voodoo how-to because I have only been on voodoo for a week and I am inexperienced. Search threads to find a voodoo how-to thread and come back once you figure it out (it's easy). This is for those on froyo who have not yet experienced true voodoo custom kernels or simply just want to return but can't find good links.
Good things I've noticed.
-Snappier.
-Instant GPS lock!!!!(Just realized this). I know it didn't work on DJ05 before.
-Higher Quadrant scores.
-Market is smoother, apps download and install way faster.
-Good battery life. going on 12 hours now and still at 63% (Would be in the 40's on EB01). This is with the screen on full brightness!! On EB01 I had the brightness always at the lowest setting.
-Messaging is less buggy. Messages I send are received every time.
-SD scan is faster.
-Boot is faster.
-Sound amplifier/driver is amazing!
-AMOLED screen looks better overall.
-Better signal/speed.
Bad things I've noticed.
-Swype is being a pain. Said my trial expired. Other methods of reinstalling it I've used before aren't working. Swype beta says trial expired also when I try to install. To fix this see below.
HOW TO FIX SWYPE:
1. Download a swype.apk WVGA resolution from the interwebs. (Can't post it here)
2. Change your default keyboard to any keyboard other than Swype.
3. Using root explorer, go to system/app/ and delete Swype.apk
4. Go to system/lib and open the search method in the menu and type in Swype. This will search for any files containing the word Swype. There should be two of them one of which is swypelibcore.so and I forgot the other. If you don't see either of these then you are fine to continue to the next step.
5. Install the swype.apk you downloaded earlier and let it do its thing. If it says your device isn't supported you downloaded the wrong swype. It needs to be WVGA because that is the resolution of our device.
6. If you get force close after installing, restart your phone.
-Lower MFLOPS benchmarked with Linpack.
-Cant use FPSe(New Playstaton emulator on market), it's for 2.2+ =(.
Please, please only try this if you are comfortable with flashing. I am not responsible for those who mess up their device by lack of research on the topic.

Hmmm, I think I'd like to test it out to see what it's like. I never ran DJ05, mind posting the goods for me?
having spent extensive time on both...djo5 with voodoo does not outperform ebo1 w/ voodoo...while ebo1 v5 is not optimal obviously as its just the stock kernel w/ ext4...its pretty stellar
im sure some people would agree with you, but personally..i dont
and really if dj05 v5 was so much better...wouldnt we all still be on it?
I must agree with N17 after I recently did a factory data reset and reloaded DJO5 and used it for a few days i went back to EB01 I did notice that with my reset I loaded minimal apps and no wall papers and very few widgets on my home screens I am now using the same battery charge for 24 plus hours I am very happy also sc2.9.1
Well, without even having tried, I am now not going to bother...N17 has definitely proved himself around here in my book, and if he says it does not outperform, then it does not outperform and it would be a waste of time. SO thanks for the input guys.
Just my observations...don't get me wrong I love EB01 but its so buggy and I was not experiencing the snappiness I am now. The market apparently loads way faster with less issues, apps download and install faster, SD scan is faster, battery isn't bipolar I've had less drop in battery than on EB01. The color fix is great and the sound is amazing. To me right now being on DJ05 is way more worth it until custom kernels for EB01 are released. Other things I've found to be better are people receive my texts all of the time and better reception.

I'd go back simply for the sound fix, because most of what I do on my droid is music-related, but I'm too lazy at this point.
Crazy to think how long we've had leaked Froyo, and Verizon still doesn't have an official update out.
I am on SC 2.9.1 voodoo. Reverting to DJ05 voodoo sounds like an interesting exercise, if it does not cause the bricking of my Fascinate. Hopefully, the OP will eventually be edited to clearly describe how one might execute the change, including all steps. I feel comfortable with Odin and CWM, but I get confused regarding what modem, kernel, baseband, etc to flash, and in what sequence. Looking forward to a step by step description of how to go from SC backwards to a DJ05 ROM..

Well, I am.
Voodoo Sound and BLN are essential. Go SirGatez go.
Yeah, I personally prefer DL09 over EB01 for a number of reasons, but I hate that I'll no longer have access to flash and certain apps. That's pretty much the only reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to DL09. I admit that I have gone back a couple of times because battery life is better, Voodoo Sound is amazing, and there are tons of overclocked kernels, and it's faster (especially if you use a Blazed Eclair kernel). I've never bothered going back to DJ05, however, since I started using the official DL09.
Why isn't flash on 2.1!? If it was, I'd drop EB01 in a heartbeat.

but for those that think performance is better on eclair v5....well....

What's the hard evidence that EB01 performs better? Thought in theory it should that doesn't mean it performs up to par.

maybe you consider performence just quadrant scores.. I consider the fact that there are flaws with many things in the froyo leak. And none that I can see in dj05 therefor if you can so without fancy lockscreens and flash.. <dj05

Quadrant scores have actually been better on DJ05.
