Hey guys I am new to all of this, just installed my first custom ROM etc etc.
Anyway, a buddy of mine swears by the Voodoo lag fix, my question is: Can I just flash voodoo lag fix on top of what I have now or do I need to do anything else? Also, is there more than one version of the lag fix, or will any one I find via searching suffice?
I did download the 'Reboot Button' in the market because I have read that once you DO have Voodoo, you need to disable before flashing other ROM's.
Sorry for my ignorance, but all help is appreciated! Thanks in advance..
For 2.2, only one kind of Voodoo kernel is avaliable as the 2.2 froyo kernel source isn't out yet. Make sure you flash the kernel for your SC version! (2.4)
Flashing a voodoo kernel just involves flashing a regular kernel. However, on the first boot, the screen stays on thr Samsung voot screen. Then, there should be a robotic voice that tells you that its converting rfs to ext4 and stuff. Converting should take a while, so don't touch the phone will its converting. The Samsung screen will stay during the whole process. After converting, the voice will tell you its done, and your phone will boot up as usual, with voodoo goodness.

Agreed.
Can you go to Settings - About Phone - and at the bottom see if your phone says DI01 or DJ05?
I really think you're not running a custom ROM. If you were, your updates would be disabled.
Anyways, let us know.
BTW, this is directed at the OP of this thread.
It says the update is DH12 to DI01
And no I'm not on a custom rom just rooted along with justina 1.2 voodoo kernel.

I would say you need to load a DI01 rom so you don't lose root. Might get a little tricky with voodoo on though.
Any other input?

Remove the old voodoo completely and upgrade to DJ05. Or just ignore the update and carry on.
good day.

You're on an older build. If you want to get up to speed with the rest of the community (to be able to use current roms/kernels/themes), you should check out adrynalyne's posts in the dev section. First disable your old voodoo by adding disable_lagfix file in the voodoo folder on your sdcard, and then reboot and let it convert back to rfs. Then get the dj05 files from adrynalyne's post and flash the dj05 modem.tar in odin.. then boot into cwmrecovery and flash a dj05 rom and a nonvoodoo dj05 kernel, which can be obtained thru rom manager. Then after you let it get thru the first boot process, you can reboot into recovery and flash a new dj05 voodoo 5 kernel, if you want to go back to voodoo. If you want to overclock, I recommend you download one of Nemesis2all's OTB kernels listed in dev section. If not, you can use one of jt1134's voodoo 5 kernels. Geeknik has some nonvoodoo overclocked kernels as well, but only nonvoodoo.
DI01 is still an old build. Most everyone is on the leaked dj05 build now, which hasn't been released officially.. but it fixes gps and some other problems found in di01 and older builds.
If you have any trouble with disabling your old voodoo or converting back to rfs, adrynalyne also has a very useful post on how to completely remove voodoo.

Just wanted to know if there were any notable performance gains for normal use other than benchmark scores using voodoo vs non voodoo. I was using voodoo on 2.1 but 2.2 seems so fast already.

Voodoo will help media scanner finish faster, as well as help with installing apps or any other application that does a lot of read/write to memory.
So I see that Superclean 2.2 is out for EB01. I am a bit new to all of this and have had awesome success flashing to Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo and installing some themes.
If I want to try out voodoo, do I just need to flash Superclean 2.2 Voodoo version via ROM Manager? Or, do I have to install Superclean 2.2 Voodoo and then go install the stock EB01 Voodoo Kernel as well?
Also, since I am already running Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo. When I go to flash the voodoo version, do I have to wipe all cache and data?

There is a thread called eb01 voodoo that contains a voodoo kernal for eb01. Download it and flash in recovery. Works over superclean 2.1 novoodoo.
Thanks a lot! Actually just I saw that someone responded, I was in the exact thread that you speak of and doing this actually crossed my mind. Must be some Voodoo magic going on.

Or you could just loaded flash the sc 2.2 voodoo package. Adrynalyne usually includes the kernel in it & I bet it's the one from JT.

Yes, there is only one standard version and one Voodoo version of the Froyo kernel available, since there is no source code to modify it any further yet. Any current rom with a 2.6.32.9 Voodoo kernel is using the one from jt.

I am running superclean 2.2 non voodoo and then I flashed just the EB01 voodoo kernel. If I want to upgrade to SC 2.3 should I flash the voodoo or non voodoo version? Any wipes required? Do I have to disable lagfix if I am upgrading to sc 2.3?

Since I don't have my ten posts to ask in the proper Dev thread...
Looking to move from superclean 0.8 w/ voodoo kernel to superclean 2.4. There's a link to both voodoo and non voodoo superclean roms now (instead of the typical rom and then choose your kernel). Does this mean I don't have to disable_lagfix and can jump straight to superclean 2.4 voodoo?
I would recommend disabling lagfix before you flash to 2.4 with the new kernel. I don't know if it is absolutely required since I didn't have a choice when I first flashed but it never hurts. Keep in mind that you will also need to flash the new modem.tar from Odin (unless someone has repackaged).
You might want to checkout http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956289 to see if one of the all in one Odin .tars might be a better starting point for you. Then upgrade to 2.4.
I did not disable lagfix when I first flashed 2.2. I had no issues. For the few short minutes it takes to disable it, its never a bad idea.
To be sure, disable the lagfix. I've always done this even when going from one voodoo ROM to another and have saved myself the countless time, headaches, and frustration of what could happen if something goes wrong. It's so easy to disable it anyway, the minute it takes to do it is good insurance IMO.
Going from voodoo to voodoo ya don't have to disable.

Actually, this is one time you do. When going from an Eclair rom with Voodoo to a Froyo rom with Voodoo, disable the lag fix first. Those instructions come from jt1134 and/or Adrynalyne (can't remember which one just offhand). I could be wrong, but I think that has something to do with needing to install a newer version of the red Voodoo CWM that's compatible with Froyo. Once you're on Froyo, flashing any Froyo roms with a Voodoo kernel should work just fine without disabling.

Do DL09 Roms work on EA28?? Esp super clean 0.4? Thanks in advance!!
Isn't EA28 a mesmerize or nonverizon-Fascinate update? If so, DL09 is a Verizon Fascinate update, so there may be issues updating or you might mess up your phone.

No. EA28 is the emergency call button fix for DL09. It basically is DL09. So would DL09 roms work?

EA28 was the last VZ official Eclair update. It's identical to DL09 crimson what I've read except they fixed the emergency call issue.

There's a flaw in your understanding of what a ROM actually is. If you flash a DL09 ROM on your phone, you're going to be running DL09. You can check and see if the EA28 fix was rolled into Superclean, it's possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't since they've been banging away at Froyo for a while now.
I don't know that if you revert to DL09 if the fix for emergency calling will still be there.

I know what a rom is. Maybe I should rephrase, do DL09 roms work with a EA28 radio

I was having a very difficult time trying to update my stock DL09 to EB01. First problem I encountered was CWM. If you root your phone and install CWM, make sure to install the 2.x or 4.x version instead of 3.x. It seems like once installing 3.0.0.8 (to be specific) it won't allow you to flash certain Roms.
The awkward part happens here... Because I had 3.x in the beginning, once I go into Rom Manager -> reboot phone to CWM -> it goes to 3.x and it shows me this error
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
However, after installing another CWM version through Odin, after I reboot my phone manually instead of going through Rom Manger, it takes it to CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v.2.5.1.x (-_-
Now because i was in this, I was able to download EB01 with the help of this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
Another awkward part is that I didn't wipe data/factory reset when installing. Phone rebooted, it was updated WITH Root. How did this happen? I have no idea. But for sure it is updated to Froyo 2.2.1 and everything works fine.

Just wanted to share this story
That's like me saying, "I finally upgraded to Windows 95! It was very challenging, but, in the end, I finally left Windows 3.1 behind!"
Seriously, though, you know that there are many newer Gingerbread builds, and even newer Froyo ROMs right? Why not give one of them a try?
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Agreed, you are running something months old and also kind of ****ty. EB01 is a leaked build that was not very good. Were I you, I would upgrade to one of our gingerbread ROMs like TSM Resurrection..
Will def. do! i'm very outdated with all of these lol

yes...follow section 2 of the guide. odin eh03 then flash superclean3 or deodexed eh03 if you just want rooted stock! Superclean3 is rooted, deodexed, debinged, more customizations. Stay away from eh09 if you want stock like reliability. The eh03 is verizons gingerbread not a port like eh09/ei20.
