Right now im running DL09 with Voodoo. I'm on a stock theme. My question is, can i flash a theme right over it, or do i have to disable voodoo, flash the theme, then re-enable voodoo?
Just flash a theme right over, no disabling of Voodoo necessary. Just make sure you do it from the red CWM recovery, not green. Only the red one works properly with Voodoo enabled.

Since im on DL09, this one will work perfectly then?
Just flash it in Red recovery?
(sorry, just being careful and trying to learn.)
Yep, that should work. Just fyi though, if you flash a theme that is for DJ05 instead of DL09, there's a theme fix you have to flash after the theme itself. That fixes it so that customizations to the power button menu will apply properly to DL09. Also, make sure you run a nandroid backup from red CWM first, so you can easily restore back if something does go haywire for some reason. Oh, and finally, first boot after applying a theme may take longer than normal, so be patient and wait a while before assuming it's frozen and doing a battery pull. Anyway, happy flashing, and enjoy your new theme!

I am currently running DJ05 and have the Voodoo5 lagfix installed... I did a dumb thing by trying to flash a rom from Rom Manager. I was told when installing Voodoo5 lagfix that I would have to disable_lagfix before flashing any roms but I didn't do that before flashing (I know I'm dumb). So now after it "installed", my phone restarted and the screen was just white or like how a tv channel was back in the day when you didnt have that channel (white snow). I tried wiping data/cache and restoring a backup I made before flashing the rom but it didnt work. It just had a bunch of force closes and wiped everything. What can I do to get my phone back running?
Try to restart your phone while holding down on both volume buttons to get into recovery, and reflash a voodoo kernel to see if it works. If it does, you can then disable voodoo and go back to whatever you want to use, or keep the voodoo kernel on the new rom.
Also, this should have been posted in general, not development.
Hmm, the white snow thing seems to be the boot animation for geeknik's 1.96 kernel, or at least I got it on boot after updating my kernel to that. Don't see why the phone would do that otherwise because there aren't any analog signals involved here. But for me it boots up fine after the white snow.
Did you flash a kernel too?
I had this problem so I just completely removed voodoo and started new. Oh well, I won't flash voodoo until I can understand it.

So I broke my market like a week ago and can't fix it. The only thing I haven't tried is recovering to a few weeks ago BUT I am unsure if it's safe to do because I am currently running on DJ05 with Nemesis's test 6 sv1100 voodoo kernel.
If I revert back to a time (using the red recovery screen) with dl01 and NO lagfix installed (without a broken market too) will I be okay? If it's okay to do, will DJ05 still end up being installed?
I am fairly new to this but I always try to figure things out myself before asking. However, I was unable to find difinitive answers and I am just unsure.
Any clear help in layman's terms would be greatly appreciated!!

If you are flashing a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo one you must first disable voodoo. Do this by creating a folder or file named disable_lagfix and putting it in the voodoo folder of your sd card.
Just to be safe, reboot fully before flashing anything. It should do the voodoo female robot voice. When you get back onto your home screen run quadrant to ensure your scores are somewhere around 800. If they are still over 1000 voodoo didn't disable properly. If it's disabled you should be all clear to flash a non voodoo kernel. Just make sure if you have a dj05 modem and kernel the rom needs to be dj05 etc. good luck
Edit: just in case I didn't read your post correctly: if you are restoring an old backup of di01 you will also need to flash the stock di01 modem through odin and a di01 kernel through cwm. Hope this helps.

Alright so I am running voodoo5 lagfix kernel DJ05 and jt's superclean .9 which i downloaded all from rom manager. My trouble began when I downloaded the puzzle piece slider in rom manager. I decided to switch it back in preferences to the glass slider. Well, when i changed it the glass slider no longer appears and I am stuck in an endless boot loop! My next course of action would be to wipe and revert to stock however there is a problem. My "red" CWM is not functioning properly. I can get into recovery with the three button combo, and view all of the options, however when I select any option with the home key, my screen goes black and the buttons stay lit on bottom. In order to return to stock, I know i have to disable any lag fixes, however my "red" CWM is hosed. I'm not sure how this happened I think the file must have been corrupted when I initially downloaded it. I was thinking that I should reinstall voodoo5 and then maybe my "red" recovery would actually work and I could disable the lag fix and then return to stock. I'm not sure how to reinstall voodoo or if this is even the best way to proceed. If I returned to stock without disabling the voodoo kernel what would happen? All help is appreciated.
In 'green' cwm home makes the screen shut off and on the power button selects, 'red' is probably the same.

He's right. Power selects, not home key.
oh oops. haha. i thought the navigation was the same as the stock recovery. so, how do you think i should escape this bootloop now?
When i switched to voodoo5 and superclean .9 from stock i didn't make a nandroid backup. I've only made a backup of the stock rom using the rom manager. Does nandroid backup your kernel and rom? Also, do you make nandroid backups in cwm and then just restore to them if something goes wrong? Right now I think I have to just disable voodoo5 and use odin to go back to stock everything because I'm stuck bootlooping.
So. I installed Voodoo 5 on my Dl09 fascinate from verizon.... and i tried to install black hole with voodoo disabled and my phone went crazy and almost bricked....
Anyone know a way to COMPLETELY remove voodoo5 on dl09 fascinate?

Are you certain you disabled it? Did you disable lagfix then REBOOT the phone? After that then go back into recovery red and flash the Rom? If you still want to remove voodoo, I believe Adrnalyne has a good post on here. I think it's via Odin

Yell at me if I'm wrong but... Disable voodoo in red recovery. Verify that its disabled. Flash non voodoo kernel. No more voodoo.

Disable in red recovery, REBOOT phone, then go back into red recovery and flash a non voodoo kernel. It's when the phone reboots that the lag fix is actually disabled. That's how I read it from the developers....thnx Adrnalyne, JT, etc.

And post in the right section. This is the Development section, help should be asked for in the General section. Sorry, if I sound rude, but it's really getting frustrating seeing this section getting littered with people asking for help. That's not contributing to development.

yes. the lag fix is the filing system used. when you enable lag ifx, restart, the phone formats the internal system memory to ext4. disable lag fix in red, restart. the phone will then reformat the system memory back to rfs. at this point you still have the voodoo kernel, just on an rfs filing system. once thats don you can flash nonvoodoo. it is completely removed once you flash a nonvoodoo kernel.
So I am running the latest voodoo infused Superclean 2.1 and I found out something that saves a ton of time.
Say you downloaded a .zip file you need to flash in cwr. Before you had to create the disable folder/file, reboot, wait for it to convert back, reboot, flash zip file, remove disable file, reboot..wait for it to enable...
Now I find I can reboot, choose disable voodoo in the new cwr menu, go to zip file and flash it, then immediately toggle voovoo back to enabled, then reboot. No reboots in-between .....
I thought maybe it was a placebo and that voodoo wasn't actually reenabled, but after it booted I ran Linpack and Quadrant and my scores were obviously voodoo enabled scores....
So is it too good to be true?
you are referring to the original voodoo....... I believe the new voodoo source is voodoo 5.

Yes this had been around for some time now to make it easyer so yeah
First, you don't need to disable voodoo to flash 99% of stuff.
Second, disabling voodoo in the menu just creates the disable_voodoo file for you. you'd still have to reboot for it to disable (and wait through the conversion process) for it to be actually disabled. it's even on the screen. "voodoo actually: enabled"
so when you toggle it off, flash, and back on without rebooting, you aren't disabling it at all.
Really? You didn't know that? Voodoo 5 has been out for MONTHS now. This thread should be moved.
There hasnt been the need to disable voodoo to flash most things for months....since we have had voodoo recovery around Thanksgiving....not exactly a new revelation
You guys might be missing a couple points. This is the voodoo that comes packaged in Superclean2.1 EB01 that Adrenalyne just recently released. So no its not the old voodoo.
Another point someone made was 99% of things don't need voodoo disabled. A couple nights ago after installing SC2.1 I tried to install two different zip files. Both times I got an error. Error at Line 2 or Erie at line 4. IRC member said disable voodoo. So I did and all of a sudden they install fine. Ok. But then I see the voodoo toggle in CWR and I try it without revolting in-between and it works.
Maybe I'm not explaining this well.

voodoo5 is voodoo5...theres nothing new in terms of what we can do in recovery with the voodoo options that we couldnt do 2 months ago
ive flashed a ton of stuff in the last few days with voodoo enabled and had no issue or reason to disable/renable in cwr
Well voodoo 5 is new to me. I went from DH12 stock to EB01 Voodoo. Guess its just me learnin'
When jt first released voodoo for eb01 he didn't have cwm fixed yet. About 30 minutes later he released another eb01-voodoo.zip that was 5mb bigger (13mb) because it included a working cwm. Since then I have flashed and restored many times without error or disabling. SC2.1 voodoo includes voodoo5 and working cwm in the zip. If you're still getting an error in red cwm then maybe something is borked and you should start over. Hope this helps.
And all questions should be posted in general. You'll likely get plenty of responses there as well.

Just to clarify, the ONLY time you ever need to disable the lag fix after enabling it is if you intend to flash a non-Voodoo kernel of any kind. That's because a non-Voodoo kernel is incapable of reading the ext4 filesystem and will freak out when trying to boot. As long as you use the red CWM (which is compatible with ext4; green CWM, like non-Voodoo kernels is not), then you can do nandroid backups/restores and flash roms, themes, and other Voodoo kernels as much as you want without having to worry about disabling the lag fix.
Oh, and disabling and then enabling the lag fix from the CWM menus without rebooting does absolutely nothing, because it has to reboot in between to run the scripts that actually enable or disable the lag fix (this is when you hear the female robotic voice).

I've just switched to superclean 2.2 with voodoo, and it's my first time using it. I'm enjoying it so far, but I've already made the noob mistake of using rom manager to boot into recovery. Luckily it was only a boot animation, so the flash failed and no damage was done. Just have to get used to manually booting into red cwr.
But it's really good to know I can flash roms without disabling as long as I use red cwr. Didn't see a clear answer to that before. And I can flash other voodoo kernels as well without disabling? Say, for example, kaosinate rom and kernel? Been wanting to try that and jt's vanilla

Not sure about jt's, but kaos's kernel is a Voodoo kernel, so yes, you wouldn't need to disable the lag fix before flashing it.

I suggest you stop using voodoo since you clearly know nothing about how it works. As started by someone else, the only time you need to disable voodoo is when flashing a non voodoo kernel. The errors that you got are clearly install script errors. NOT because you're voodoo'd. So you and the person you got advice from know nothing about how voodoo works so I suggest you save yourself the trouble and stop using it.

I am not sure what is ment by"other" voodoo kernels. I thought voodoo 5 itself was the kernel. Now from reading these posts I have lost some understanding of voodoo. If there are other voodoo kernels, are those others voodoo 5 based? What normal kernel is the stock voodoo 5 based on?
