what is a voodoo kernal? - Fascinate General

I have the dl09 update rooted seen people talking about a voodoo kernals with lagfix... what is it. . And will it work with my stock rooted dl09

It is a kernel that converts the stock RFS file system to a more standard EXT4, which makes read/write processes go quicker.
If you want to try one of these kernels I highly suggest reading up as much as you can before flashing, because if you don't know what you are doing you can easily screw up your phone.

I agree with Kevin. Really do some reading and understanding before you flash voodoo. Half of the problems here are from folks who flash a voodoo kernel without knowing what they're doing.
With that said, the developers here have done some great stuff to add to our phone. Just take a little time to do some research before taking the next step.

Is it even worth it to root right now?

What would be the benefits of rooting right now? I just have the urge to mess with my phone for some reason.
Having root access to the phone...getting rid of bloatware...having root access apps...flashing one of the lighter ROMs we already have...being ready to flash a froyo ROM as soon as it hits...toying with the phone...lots!

Interesting, I guess I'll root today. What themes and roms are currently available? And anyone know when the "real" lag fix is coming?
Theres a couple different themes in the themes forum...nothing that appeals to me. Theres also a very nicely cleaned up rom in the dev forum. Install clockwork and check that out

In your opinion what is the best rooting guide to follow? There are a couple out there.

Yeah I went to one click root. Followed the link to Android Central and followed the manual directions listed there.

It's out now?!?!
Found it!
I'm guessing we just flash this the same way I used to flash stuff on my droid? No need to rename to update.zip since I'm using clockwork, correct?
I dont understand why people want voodoo...what does it change?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
it changes the /system to ext4 format from FAT(i believe it is) which is much much faster on system read and writesso makes phone run way smooth

Just flashed voodoo. HUGE difference!
If i flash voodoo would i be able to switch back if the need arose?

Rooted, Clockwork, Titanium Pro worth every penny (froze all things crap), voodooed.
Battery life and spiffyness is sweet. At 75% battery when at this point in the day I would be at 35 to 45%. Do it. Just make sure you read and read more. Coming from years of winmo this android stuff was definitely a huge learning experience.
good day.
there are a lot of apps for rooted phones, and you are able to flash clockworkmod so you can use it to install roms and make backups, and more....

Lagfix? Axura

Axura is amazingly fast and stuff but I want it fast as before on when I had lag fix on my stock j16
Can I apply oclf and be good with no bugs or soft bricks or is there something else for the Axura lagfix
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Do not apply oclf. It does not play nice with axura use the voodoo kernel in the op of axura thread.

Put the voodoo.zip on your phones sd card, go into Clockwork mod recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card, and choose the voodoo.zip file, and the process will take awhile, so be patient

Voodoo works great on Axura. My phone has zero lag no matter what I throw at it.
Ill try it then thanks
i just did it, didnt take long at all. Does that mean something went wrong? Is there a way to see if its installed?

You didn't have it enabled then. You must of had a larger nand.
I went into rom manager and did clockwork. Then i did an install off sd and picked voodoo. Zip. Did i miss something?

Go to the Team Whiskey site. There's a thread on the Voodoo install and uninstall. It very different then OCLF yet still easy just not as..
I don't even run a lag fix anymore, Axura 2.x is quite snappy without it. And I find Voodoo while it works well, it tangles up in my system more then I prefer because I'm always flashing something.
But that said, Axura and Voodoo and your flying.
Good luck.

questions

have been downloading all the things i need to put dj05 and voodoo5 on my fascinate. however i am unable to get the link to ODIN and CWM recovery to work.
also. now with the impending release of who knows what from verizon i am gonna wait.. if it is froyo. would i be able to root froyo after a ota? would i be able to voodoo froyo?
another off topic question.. i see the dj05 superclean has a lot of "aosp" programs.. what is aosp?
the superclean dj05 does not mention things like calander. does this mean the calander has been removed?
Link for odin and cwm
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/development-135/how-to-root-recover-update-go-back-to-stock/
When froyo is released wait for the devs to repackage it into a rom, it doesn't take long...
Aosp is android open source project meaning stock android...no skins on top like touchwiz or sense...
And roms come with apps like calendar still installed so don't worry about that...

here is another question that had been bugging me.. can I always recover with clock work mod to take me back to stock? ..and if I do will my warrante be good? or will my phone have traces that I have done things to it?

You can create a backup of your stock rooted rom and then restore it any time but I recommend odin if you wanna go back to 100% stock

How to install kernals?

New kernal, how to? Please forgive my ignorance. I had a buddy root my phone cause im not that sharp I am comfortable flashing new roms... Is it the same process with new kernals flash through clockwork or different
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Flashing a non voodoo kernel is done the same way. There are several good kernels to chose from. Download, backup and install using clockwork. Flashing a voodoo kernel is also done that way with the major difference being in flashes after voodoo. You should read up and make sure you fully understand voodoo before flashing one of those. Hope that helped.

Yes roms in the developement section here can all usually be flashed through cwm unless otherwise stated. And I've never needed to unroot, but odin is a windows gui for flashing tar's(which are roms usually official and modems). You use Odin when you want to go back to complete stock, or modems usually. You can do other things with Odin such as flash custom recoveries like cwm. Odin is your bestfriend if you mess something up, always make sure to use a premium blackberry or other thick cable besides the one that came with the phone when using odin.(most people have difficulties with stock cable.)
