After hearing terrible horror stories of people following the proper instructions on how to remove the lagfix, I thought I'd ask some questions that might help many [inquiring] people as well as myself.
1.) If you have Voodoo installed, I assume that it's okay to install the current ROMs on xda (i.e. jt's superclean, frost's, blue breeze) because those ROMs flash /system and voodoo affects /data, correct?
2.) When flashing a ROM, it is recommended that you wipe data / cache to prevent any issues from occurring. The only issue with this is that you can't wipe data (from CWM) with Voodoo installed, correct?
3.) If the above answer is correct, then is there a more efficient way of wiping data WITHOUT having to disable lagfix (which seems to be causing problems for those who are even following the appropriate directions). For example, would clearing the delvik cache be a sufficient replacement for wiping data/cache to satisfy the recommendation when flashing a current ROM?
Thanks in advance.
Hey there, I saw you had a bunch of views but no responses yet, so I thought I'd chime in, I'm not new to android or flashing roms, but this voodoo kinda freaked me out as well hearing all the horror stories. I still do not completely understand voodoo myself, but I can tell you from my expereinces, I have flashed a few themes and roms with Dirrks kernel with voodoo, and aside from the usual of taking your time and following the directions...
I use Root Explorer and create a "disable_lagfix" file inside the voodoo folder, and let everything run its course...i.e. when installing the kernel, it takes a long time and the screen does go black for part of it, but let it all play out and don't touch the phone, pull the battery, ect. and it does even take longer to remove voodoo once you put the "remove_lagfix" file and reboot.
I'd say it was a good 10 min. on the samsung screen before anything came back up and running, but I resisted freaking out and let everything boot up properly, and I have had zero problems with it.
It does take twice as long to load roms or themes becasue I always have preferred wiping all data and cache when installing new roms and creating a nandroid, just have had better luck in the past by doing that, so by disabling voodoo, leting it boot back up, doing the clockwork thing, then having to re-enable voodoo is a pita, but in my experiences its been no issue and i've never run into any issues so far. (fingers crossed now becasue of that statement)
Hope it helps you a little bit.
Nice post. Solid advice. Patience is key as is doing it the right way

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. Now that theres a Voodoo Toggle things should be a bit easier
This is more of a general response to the idea of voodoo "horror stories" than your specific questions but I have installed/disabled voodoo many times to try different kernel variations/install new roms and I have never run into a problem. I'd have to think 90% of the horror stories can be traced to user error.
I'm not trying to be a **** or anything, this stuff can be confusing and I've made mistakes in the past as I'm sure everyone has.
All I'm saying is that if you're careful, patient and always follow instructions (and for me, I ALWAYS wipe data/cache before installing anything) I think voodoo and you (or any kernel/rom, for that matter) can have a wonderful relationship.

It will also only take one good f-up, followed by seven hours of fixing it to learn what not to do if you don't feel like reading first.

just so im clear on this, based on what you're saying:
if i have voodoo (using jt's kernel) and want to install a rom I would disable_voodoo, let that take its course, install rom, reinstall voodoo?

If all you were doing was installing the rom, you wouldn't have to disable voodoo first UNLESS the rom you were installing included a kernel and it was non-voodoo. If you wanted to make a backup, then you may need to disable voodoo first. If you're upgrading the kernel from voodoo to another voodoo kernel, you also wouldn't have to disable it before hand.
So, I'm pretty new w/ Android. Just flashed with voodoo lag fix D02-Kernel-LV-1250 using Dirrk's instructions. This means that I did the following:
- Rooted (was already done)
- Installed CWM (from instructions here)
- Downloaded D02-Kernel-LV-1250 and put on SD card
- Rebooted to CWM and did a backup
- Booted into recovery and flashed kernel
- Rebooted
Now, I see that DJ05 is released. (I even see stuff about voodoo lag fix for it...didn't know that was available.) So, now I wished I hadn't installed voodoo lag fix, because I hear it is difficult to uninstall.
I've tried to do my own research here, but I really don't want to change messing up my phone, so I'm asking for help here. Here are the threads I have sifted through:

- http://www.fascinateforums.com/foru...everything-you-wanted-know-about-kernels.html
Questions
What is the trade-off b/w D02 and DJ05?
If DJ05 really has the lag fix, is there any benefit of staying on D02?
For future reference, how do I know what kernel version I am using (Voodoo4 vs Voodoo5)?
Understanding what I've done above, what do I need to do to get to DJ05?
Do I really need to flash to stock and lose everything to get there?
And if so, can I use the backup I made in CWM?
If not, and I have Titanium Backup installed and all apps/data backed up, does it matter if I have to go back to stock?
Sorry for the newbie questions for help, but I really want to make sure I do it right. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help you can give!
1. D02 is just the kernel version and DJ05 is a firmware update so there is really no comparison here.
2. updating to dj05 is worth it because it fixes several issues with the phone.
3. the only way to tell between voodoo 4 and 5 is to read which one you are downloading
4. it's a good idea to do a full wipe of the phone before updating to dj05 and your nand backup before the update will not work properly because the new kernel doesn't work with the old firmware.
5. if using ti-backup then yes wipe
to remove voodoo go to the voodoo folder on you sd and make a TEXT file called disable_lagfox.txt and reboot then LET IT FINISH COULD TAKE UP TO 20 MIN IN SOME CASES so wait it out don't pull battery no matter what.
when you update use the stupidfast kernels if your afraid of messing up your phone don't use voodoo it really is more of a power user option. didn't answer everything on order I know lol but think I coveted most of it

I'd like to add that in some cases the disable_lagfix method might not work. (It's supposed to be disable_lagfix, not .txt and not lagfox lol). In my case, it ran for nearly two hours without doing anything. Don't worry, if it takes that long just pull the battery and use ODIN to return to stock (from Adrynalyn's thread). But obviously make backups before you try to disable voodoo.
lol yea disable_lagfix sry swype error haha and the .txt will be added guess I just was thinking about doing it pc side I'm use to putting my own extension sometimes.

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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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?

Hey folks, I'm hoping one of you can help me out with an issue that just cropped up on my phone. I've been running EB01 since it's release and have had no issues whatsoever except for today when I noticed my apps (Titananium Backup, Tapatalk, Root Explorer) we're remembering preferences anymore and/or every time I exit from them and launch again....it thinks it's the first run again.
Did something hose up my permissions/ownerships? Only think I did recently was flash the de-binged browser via CWM.
Any ideas??
What are you running? It may be a permissions problem. Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?
I'm having a similar issue. Help!

I was just about to start a thread about this. I'm having the same problem. I upgraded from blackhole 4.1 (DL30) to Superclean 2.2 EB01 with voodoo lagfix. I got the red CWM flashed via odin and proceeded to install the EB01 modem and the superclean 2.2v (EB01).
The first time I flashed was a disaster, there were issues with Odin completing the flash, so I had to do USB pulls about 4 times (which ended up giving me full "light blue" screens during download mode at times).
After getting Odin to cooperate, I was able to flash the Superclean 2.2v (EB01), and then I restored everything from Titanium Backup, which worked fine until I restarted the phone or left it alone for a couple of hours. Everything would force close (like ADWLauncer Ex, forcing me to use ONLY TWLauncher) and all my preferences were lost. Like gmail would have to resync as if it were new, all the EULA dialogs would come up (like in android market), my trillian profiles were all lost, if i turned off haptic feedback that would turn back on, my ringtones would go back to the defaults, etc.
So I read some other thread in the Development section which said to reflash, and do not do any restores at all. So I reflashed with Super clean 2.3v (EB01), but it happened again, all my preferences would be lost. I also tried to do "fix permissions" from RED CWM, but it just ran for like a fraction of a second and didn't seem like it did anything, as the problem persisted.
I'm planning to go back to DL30 or even DL09 to see if my phone functioned properly or not.
If anyone has a solution to this problem please help!
- Superclean 2.3v (EB01)
I'm thinking it has something to do with flashing either the De-Binged browser or the new market update. Maybe something in the framework-res is getting hosed up?
I just did a wipe and reflashed plain old EB01 and I'm not going to flash any changes and see if the problem comes up again.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've been all the way down to DJ05 to see what happens, and when I come back to superclean 2.2 voodoo-ed, I get force closes on everything the first time I restart - that issue was due to the new feature froyo added "automatic restore" in settings > privacy. I got that taken care of by uninstalling all apps.
However, when I restart now, my entire phone defaults back to cleared data. I'm talking every setting that I could think of (usb debugging, sound, brightness, contacts, security pin cleared). I don't get it at all. Everything else has been working right though.
Just thought I would share - I'm kinda still in limbo till I figure out what I should do.

I wonder if it has to do with the type of EB01 we're using or the CWM. I flashed CWM red via Odin, rather than updating via Rom Manager or update.zip. Also I used the EB01 Walkthrough in the fascinate developers section, the link is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
***UPDATE***
I resolved the problem... I think. I noticed there was a difference in the file names of the EB01 Modem in the walkthrough link I provided on the last line of the paragraph above and the EB01 Modem given in the original EB01 stock thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948679). I flashed with the eb01a_modem.tar given in the stock thread and then upgraded to Super Clean with Voodoo (v. 2.4 as of this writing). The market DID restore all the apps, before I was able to stop it, but after I restarted, there were no force closes nor were there any loss of preferences. I hope the modem issue was what was wrong...
Started doing it again this morning. This time I did not flash any mode via ROM Manager. Only things I did was de-bloat using Root Explorer and Titanium Backup.
Not every app started forgetting preferences, some still reemebered. Any of the devs have an idea of what's going on here? I'm running the plain old, fully-bloated EB01 ROM. No voodoo, no de-odexed, or anything like that.
I think it's a dbdata partition issue. I can't say how to fix because it's above my paygrade, but you may have to wait until it is officially released.

Try the Odin back to stock...DI01, wipe everything. Reroot and and get cwm. Then ODIN EB01 Modem Tar followed by super clean 2.4 install through cwm. Be sure to wipe data and cache before flashing super clean.
I there a reason I have to go all the way back to DI01, or can I use any All-In-One Odin package that writes the ROM, Kernel, & Radio?

I suggest that typically before anything else b/c it seems to help most. I've never experienced these issues but many suggest this is a viable method to remedy certain problems. Don't see why you couldn't try the odin DL09 all-in-one and wipe the hell out of it and try again. Good Luck.
Is the corruption in the dbdata partition caused by an older version of CWM or a problem in the EB01 ROM itself?
Is it safe to go back to EB01?

I believe it's currently inconclusive. There is speculation about exactly what causes it hence the reason I suggest wiping everything and then flashing the most recently provided stuff. That way it'll narrow things down. Someone can correct me, but if you odin back to stock, I'm 99% sure super cleans 2.4 voodoo kernel includes the new cmw. I was on green cmw unitl I flashed the seperate voodoo kernel posted by jt. I haven't had any issues.
Its almost certainly dbdata corruption. The cause is...yeah questionable. Seems most common with voodoo with the current hack being used to get it working with froyo.

Any other suggestions or fixes?
I went all the way back to DI01, then flashed to EB01 using an Odin All-In-One and now 48-72 hours later, my apps (most notably Tapatalk, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup) think it's the first time they've run every time I launch it.
Shouldn't have going back to DI01 fixed the corruption since it reformats the ROM partition? Also, something I notice was that flashing to DI01 or EB01 using odin did not get rid of the new CWM Recovery.
Would running the permission fix correct the issue?

Try This...
This will hopefully repartition and clean dbdata corruption. BTW, I couldn't get 2.2 to run on my phone until I odin flashed a ROM which allowed me to then flash Adrynalyne's 2.4.
DI01, DJ05, DL09 did not work for the fix. Eclair worked fine, but Froyo would not work until I flashed a 2.2 odin.
Do I need to check the "Re-Partition" option in Odin when flashing or does it do it automatically?
I've rooted my fascinate, tried several different ROMs and kernels. I've got it setup using Super Dark DJ05 with a voodoo kernel. I've done enough backups and restores from different ROMs I feel pretty comfortable with the phone, voodoo, themes, CWM, etc. It's running very fast, 12-16 hr battery, great looking theme. I'm happy with the phone like it is. But, just because it's not EB01, should I risk messing up the setup I've got just to get Froyo or just be happy with being outdated and keeping what I've got? What's the safest way to get from voodoo kernel to EB01, voodoo or not?
I would say keep what you have if your satisfied with it, as far as getting EB01, "odin"! Rock on!
Just batch backup apps with titanium backup. Download eb01 of your choice. Wipe data cache battery stats and dalvik. In eb01.zip and restore batch app backup titanium. What's their to mess up should only take about 20 minutes. If your comfortable with cwm and root and stuff I'd just do it. If youclve done what you said its just as easy to do this. Plus how much more are people going to develop for eclair. Everyone is working on froyo now so I'd say make the jump. I really like my setup in my sig.
Oh yea don't forget to flash modem via Odin. Easy as well
What special would I need to do since I'm already running voodoo? Do I need to uninstall voodoo or just go straight to a voodoo EB01 kernel when I install EB01?
Disable lagfix and have at it
Used my magic voodoo powers
If you're going from voodoo to voodoo you don't need to disable lagfix. The proper steps are as follows:
-flash the EB01 modem over pda button in odin
-wipe data, etc
-flash EB01 rom of choice in cwm
-flash voodoo kernel in cwm
If using jt's aosp flash g apps before the kernel.
You should be all set after that.
Edit: you can disregard that bit about aosp, I thought it was EB01 based but it appears to be based on DL30.

If you back up the apps with titanium make sure to only back up downloaded apps. back up system apps or system settings (they are different colors in titanium) only if you have a specific reason to (like I back up the user dictionary and a couple other settings... ). restoring old versions of the system apps causes problems. So you could selectively back certain things up and restore them all or back everything up and restore things selectively.
Id say do it if you're patient and adventurous. The only con I've had is My battery life has suffered a lot (even after resetting bat stats with the script adrenalyn posted and cycling it properly, as well as experimenting with auto rotation off and all the other suggestions that have been going on) But every thing else is running like a dream. All the updated system apps are great, the new swype works a lot better, my signal bars seem more accurate, gps is locking in about a second... everything is smooth and quick and clean... etc. (I am using superclean)
I also have the luxury of having a car charger, a work charger and a charger by my bed at night... so since I'm one of the people experiencing battery issues... it also isnt that big of a deal to me. I was getting about a day and a half to two days before and now I'm getting about three quarters of a day.
I appreciate all the recommendations so far.
Just what would be the advantages of upgrading to Froyo? Is it just the "latest thing out" attraction or what?
