I'm not sure how to ask this, I saw there was a new rom, and the last I ran, Voodoo Control didn't support it, and there was no voodoo kernel. Is anything different now?

Please excuse my noobieness, but could someone explain to me what exactly kernels are pertaining to roms? The reason why I ask is because I have the Fascinate with EB01 with Voodoo. I want to use Superio's voodoo sound tweaks, and I know that it isn't currently possible without the Froyonate's source code. Is it possible to use the Galaxy S's voodoo froyo kernel for the Fascinate? If so, what can I do to make it happen? Thanks in advance...

For general information about what the linux kernel is/does do some google searches. The kernels across different galaxy S devices are NOT interchangeable. We currently do not have source for froyo on the fascinate. Due to the nature of how the modifications work, voodoo lagfix was added to the kernel without needing to recompile form source, however voodoo sound fixes must be applied to source, rather than an already compiled kernel. Samsung will not release the source until at the very least, an official froyo is released. I suspect you might get some angry replies for posting this question. This is essentially because unless you're a competent linux hacker, the only thing you can do is wait patiently, even once the source is released.
This belongs in general. You should really use the search function.

Ok, I think that thr kernel is the core of the android operating system, where the drivers for the different hardware of your phone resides and the rom is the actual operating system, the kernel must be compatible to your phone otherwise it will not work. Many roms that you see posted here include kernels, the ones that dont you have to be carefull because if you have for example a non vodoo kernel and install a vodoo rom you will have serious problems, im no expert but maybe somebody more knowledgeable can correct me

Voodoo is part of the kernel, not the rom. If you see a rom that is advertised as a Voodoo rom, it's because it comes with a Voodoo kernel. Installing a Voodoo rom and/or kernel won't cause any harm, but if you have the Voodoo lag fix installed and flash a non-Voodoo kernel, or a rom that contains a non-Voodoo kernel, you will get to learn how to use Odin very quickly. It's always a good idea to learn whether or not the rom you are flashing contains a kernel or not, just so that you don't get surprised by something after the fact.

I'm trying to flash the latest voodoo kernel to my boys fascinate. But it doesn't seem to work like it did when I did it to my mesmerize. Is there a thread that gives you the step by step process? He really wants to use the BLN notification app but we need to do this first. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
voodoo and BLN are two different things. If he is on froyo, we cannot add BLN to it due to lack of source. Once we get source, we will add BLN but until that time all we have in 2.2 kernels is voodoo lagfix, because that can be injected into kernels.

Hello
Is a kernel sound modul exist for iconia a500 ?
I wan't to test VOODOO but, it asks me i must have a custom kernel modul
TIA
Same here, I tried voodoo control plus also and no dice (mine's rooted with Thor's kernel). Maybe contact the Voodoo developer and see if he could make a port or add the kernel to one of the custom roms. I'd totally get it.

Well since that ICS AOSP is released expect to see it soon
I used to use MIUI and it came with a Voodoo Sound/Control app that had settings for the intensity of each colour for the AMOLED screen.
I'm running darkys 9.5 now And I still have the Voodoo sound app but I cant figure out how to be able to adjust the brightness like I did on MIUI.
Anyone know how I can do this on Darkys?
You need a kernel with voodoo color support to do what you want. I'm guessing the rom you use doesn't have a supported kernel (I don't use darkys rom so I'm just assuming).
I'd recommend flashing talon kernel.
Thanks. Thats it. Are there any Kernels that are compatible with both Voodoo colour and Darkys 9.5?
OK so I am running the newest version of cyanogenmod 7 on my samsung vibrant witch is based on android 2.3.7 and I want a voodoo lagfix kernel compatible with cyanogenmod 7 does any one know if someone is working on this or it there is one alredy out that i could use.
Moped_Ryder has a bunch of Gingerbread kernels here. There is also a chart that shows if it supports Voodoo and if you need to remap the keys or not.
I think you need to understand what voodoo lagfix is. Search and read.

You DO NOT voodoo lagfix on CM7. It won't work anyway. Also, there are no voodoo lagfix kernels for CM7, only voodoo color/voodoo sound.

This. The whole point in voodoo is to replace the RFS file system that Samsung used with Ext4. Because Cyanogenmod doesn't use RFS the Voodoo lagfix won't do anything like geoffcorey said.

Samsung Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs use a file system called RFS. basically it sucks. Voodoo lagfix (note not sound/color) is a procedure that changes the stock Samsung RFS file system to ext4. Note is does NOT change the partition setup of the ROM, just the file system.
That is why you can jump from Froyo to Ginger and back (if all kernels support Voodoo) without Odin.
CM7 / ICS and others use a file system called YAFFS - not RFS or ext4. YAFFS requires a totally different partition setup. This is why once you go to CM7/9 or ICE you cant go back to Froyo or GB without Odin with repartition checked.
Some of us are old school and remember OCLF...but that is another story.
