[Q] Voodoo & OC Kernel

So for those who read any of my other posts I have got my phone back to where it was thank god. My question is I have voodoo disabled and I do not have the oc kernel installed... Should I be okay now to flash oc kernel then enable voodoo? Im just trying to ask questions now before I **** my phone up again.

And where is the thread title even remotely descriptive

yes flash the OC kernel

Why not just use the 0.2 voodoo kernel by it self. And skip the over clocking stuff.
good day.

Haha yeah not very informative sorry. I originally ****ed my phone up by flashing the oc kernel over voodoo and had to flash odin stock etc so I'm just trying to make sure its okay for me to re enable voodoo. Or should I just reflash the 0.2 voodoo zip instead of deleting the disable lagfix file

Yeah...but did you flash voodoo oc kernel over voodoo or regular oc over voodoo? That will be an issue.... also if you flash a regular oc kernel, then flash voodoo kernel, voodoo will override the oc kernel.

I would delete the disable_lagfix file, then boot into cwm and flash the voodoo kernel you desire. See my link above...and make sure and read all...sometimes a tiny missed step will cause massive issues.

[Q] Kernal Question.

Hello, right now I am using JTsuperclean ROM and his kernel. If i were to just flash Stupid-fast right over that, would my phone still work? Sorry if this is kind of a stupid question.. I am still learning about my phone and what I can and cannot do.

That is exactly how its done.
Your phone should work great. I am on stupidfast undervolt and like it a lot.
Have fun.
P.S. its voodo that can change how you flash from one kernel to another.
As long as its not voodoo you can change at will.
Sent from my stupidfast Fascinate

yea it depends on if your kernel has voodoo or not.
IF YOU HAVE A VOODOO KERNAL DO NOT FLASH STUPIDFAST.
you need to uninstall voodoo first
PS: dont post questions in the development section, the general section is for that.

Alright thanks. I know for a fact i am NOT using Voodoo. i made sure to use non-voodoo. So i can just change ROMS and Kernels whenever I want, as long as i am NOT using voodoo?

Yes

[Q] BLN with StupidFast 1.2.3

How can I enable BLN with this Kernel? BLN Control says I need to go into "advanced ULK features" in CWM but I dont have that option in my CWM anywhere. Running CWM 2.5.1.0 according to Rom Manager. Is there another way to enable it?
Sorry if this has been answered.

I haven't tried that kernel, but which version of the BLN app do you have? The one from the market works with some kernels, but you need the one from the I9000 forum post for others. If you search "bln app" in the I9000 forum you should find it - its the .5 alpha version for older kernels. If you can't find it let me know and I can link it but I'm on the xda app right now .....
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I'm using the latest from Market. I tried to find 0.5 on the forums but was unable to. Can you post a link please?

Sent you a PM......

Tried using the BackLightNotification settings 0.5 alpha but it says BLN is not installed on this device.
BTW, I was wrong, Im using StupidFast 1.2.3.
Any other suggestions of how I get to that other feature in CWM Recovery?

I don't believe our phones have that feature in cwm. Crazy thought but what about trying a different kernel? I don't know how important vibration or haptic is to you but I'm running jt's latest 11/29 non-voodoo kernel and it has both bln and vibration. I don't know what else to suggest if neither bln control app is working for you. Or what about the newer StupidFast kernel on ROM Manager - I think its v. 1.5.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Yeah I could try the JT non-voodoo. Can I just flash the JT kernel in CWM directly over StupidFast and do the same in reverse if I need to roll back? I can live with no haptic but I need the phone to be able to vibrate for rings and notifications so I know StupidFast 1.5+ is not an option now.

Yes you can flash it right over the StupidFast - I did and had no problems. Are you familiar with irc? There's a download link there for the 11/29 kernel - just make sure you get the right one because there's a voodoo and non-voodoo one. PM me if you have trouble finding it.

JT' BootAnimation Kernel?

Hi, I was browsing through the BlackHole section and jt's boot animation kernel was listed. Just curious it's NOT a voodoo kernel right? And it works well worth eb01? Thanks

blackhole section of rom manager?

I could be wrong, buy I'm pretty sure that kernel only works with Eclair roms. Since we have no source code for the Froyo kernel, there are no custom versions, other than the one that gives you the Voodoo lag fix. Any kernels that advertise any other modifications will not be Froyo kernels, at least not right now.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo

The boot animation kernel in ROM Manager is for eb01. JT was able to hack on some additions to the stock kernel without source. There's also a voodoo lagfix kernel that he put up, it's in development. It doesn't have voodoo sound though.

Thanks guys, I'd wanted to make sure it'd work with eb01, rather be safe than sorry.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

If you are trying to use an EB01 Froyo build then use 2.4. It has Boot animation enabled just not with sound. Use this link to get it. It supports animation but not sound on boot. But it does support shutdown animation and sound. I have aperature science shutdown with sound and droid peeing on an apple for startup animation.

I don't actually need the boot animations, I was just looking for a nonvoodoo kernel to use with blackhole 4.2. Idk if that makes sense but right now blackhole will not work and I think it has to do with my stock kernel. Thanks for the suggestion though, if I can't get blackhole to work I'm definitely gonna use SC 2.4.

voodoo sound
i keep hearing about this voodoo kernel for eb01 with no sound..start up sound or what are they talking about...when i enabled the voodoo kernel in red clockwork, the robot voice talked her way thru the installtion...i have all my sounds.??
someone just clarify what they are talking about
also..why do i have the "android" animation on top of my eb01 boot animation?

Thanks guys

Questions about kernels

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to tweaking the fascinate, and had some questions regarding flashing different kernels.
1. What kernel should I flash? I'm running superclean 2.9.2 with nitsuj's gingerbread theme. If there's any more information you need to know, just ask!
2. How would I go about flashing the kernel to my phone?
Thanks!

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. I just downloaded the overclocked kernel that sfournie posted below. I thought that simply using superclean made my phone fast, overclocking makes the thing about as snappy as a chihuahua on a caffeine overdose (Recorded ~1600 benchmark stat). The soundfix is awesome, and the colorfix makes everything lose that stupid blue overtone - so that rocks too! I don't know if that kernel down there is posted in a sticky, but if it isn't, then it should be!

If you have superclean 2.9.2 then you have a variety of options. You can flash an overclocked kernel which will make your fascinate more sharp and crisp, (you need setcpu which you can get from market)
To flash your going to download this zip file, move it to your sd card, then boot into recovery mode, then you want to select install zip from sd card, choose the kernel you downloaded and hit install. Should work fine, just make sure you that you use kernels meant for Superclean 2.9.2
overclocked:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011626
aggresively undervolted: (a little safer, more conservative yet very well performing)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012571
For this one make sure you understand if you have voodoo or nonvoodoo
EDIT:
Here is a great compiled list, you want to find the kernels that are touchwiz kernels.

Thank you very much!

One thing to note: I've noticed that a lot of people recommend Wiping your Cache and your Dalvik Cache after installing a new Kernel.
You'll also want to wipe your bstats if you plan on sticking with a kernel for a while as it might give you more accurate battery %'s. You can do that by downloading a terminal emulator from the market, running it, type "su" and hit enter (a permissions window might pop up here, just click "Allow"), and then type "bstats" and hit the enter key again. This will immediately reboot your phone. After 1 or 2 complete cycles you should notice better battery life and %'s. Note: You should generally only do this when your phone is fully charged.

Question...I follow your directions. I've installed multiple roms on my old moto droid via manual style and rom manager. However, just switched to the fascinate and installed superclean 2.9.2 as well. When I reboot into recovery though, it doesn't give me the option to install from SD. Do I need to flash to a different recovery? Currently it's latest edition of clockwork mod.

You may have installed many roms, but only one rom is active at a time, otherwise the old roms are just files and don't mean anything (I think).
What recovery mode are you running, what does it say cwm number is? It should definitely have the install zip from sd option, use the volume up down and power key and edit key to navigate.

I figured it out. I had to select the apply update.zip to activate the next menu that actually let me chose to browse the SD

I used to run about 900 with just superclean nonvoodoo which was fine with voodoo (stock kernel) it was about 1000 and then with the undervolted kernel it was around 1500, the overclock i have hit 1800. but i chose the undervolted because it is battery efficient and just a little more practicle while not losing much performance.

Its awesome. Now, I have heard that our processor is capable of being boosted to 1.6ghz. Is this true, and if so would it be stable?

Our processor doesn't overclock properly, and the further from 1.0GHz you get, the more "off" it is. People have pushed it to 1.6GHz, but it was found out it wasn't actually running that fast, and anything over 1.1/1.2GHz has had stability issues.

Would there be a reason why my phone will only work with jt's 327_2 kernal none of the others will work even if I do a data wipe they still force close like crazy and if I plug in the phone it just starts restarts its self over and over.

The only thing I can figure out is the rom your using isn't compatible with the kernel look at the link I posted above. Specific kernels are for specific roms other than that they should all work fine. I installed every kernel for superclean rom and they all worked.
What rom are you using?

Did you use clockwork recovery or try to do it through rom manager or some other program? I always use clockwork recovery. Anyone else have any insight?
