Yes - I am pretty sure. As far as the rfs -> ext4 is concerned the 2 releases are par.

I *think* the way version numbering works is this - Beta 4, Beta 3 is the main tree including color fixes off which curio made a lagfix only version following several requests from people who didnt like the color changes. Presumably, since the lagfix only releases prior to that were Beta1 and Beta2, this became Voodoo 3. Yeah - its confusing :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jersr:
At least some people figured this out ;) Thanks a lot! Then i'll give beta 3 a try :D

etc directory?

hi all,

im trying to get into the etc directory through root explorer and all that is showing up is a symlink. but the directory it points towards doesnt exist or isnt viewable. probably a noob explanation for this but its doing my head in.

it works in astro file explorer but dont have root permissions to edit files through that. ive basically converted back to rfs, made the edits, then reconverted. its a bit of a pain if i have to do that every time.

is there a way around this?

actually its like this permanently now... this is bad. or was this a result of flashing JM8? surely not...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
lol - its a guess - only curio knows ... or rather _maybe_ he does :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PlanetJumble:
*sigh* is it really that complicated? I think not. Supercurio clearly states in his beta releases the seperate version numbers of lag- and color fix. And the latest available (beta 4) contains according to changelog:

The lagfix is also available as stand-alone. There is no difference to the beta 4 release except for the missing color treatment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tgcardoso:
Hi Alex,

Thank you ;-)

Hi Curio,

Could you please share some light?

Also, is I9000B so different that Voodoo lagfix doesn't work?

If I can help with some kind of info, lemme know ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
what was in it was never in doubt. What was in doubt is how the version numbering works.

Just installed voodoo on JG4 and it runs smoother. Browsing the market was a nightmare before, but now its awesome. It is finally usable.

Got the 3-button working, rooted and now voodoo. Having so much fun! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludovicianul:
Thank you so much for the answers.

Another question. Will I be able to update via Kies when Froyo (before Christmas hopefully :) ) will be released?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] =Oberon=:
Is voodoo your first lag fix or did you use RyanZA's OCLF before? Just wondering as Im currently still using RyanZA's but do find it slighty lagging as times goes on,not bad mind,still way better than stock,but still,it does seem to deterioate over time.

Was thinking of removing it and trying the Voodoo updateZIP but I might just wait til we can froyo and try it then if needed.

I also used the 3 button updateZIP. ;) (Didnt have it before)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DavidX_07:
Is voodoo working on JPH/JPK now ? I read somethink about working on any kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Thats a to-do for Beta 5. ie make it work with any kernel which should include Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Cant really confirm it until it is released - but you *should* be able to do that after disabling lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kg3:
Yes voodoo is my first lag fix. So far so good. Apps load much quicker and general navigating is smoother. I initially was going to wait for froyo before rooting etc but couldn't resist :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] iqbalbaskara:
I used RyanZA's OCLF apk before voodoo, and I have to agree, it seemed to deteriorate over time, up to a point where i cant go through the lock screen (as the screen only responded to my input right before it went blank again). This was mainly my reason to try out voodoo.

I've used voodoo for about a week now, and I have to say it feels a bit faster than OCLF, and still going strong, no deterioration detected :)

oh, I'm also running JG4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnonymeLex:
Hi guys ^^

I have voodoo lag fix + color fix beta 4.2, and I think I found a bug; when I go on internet with my galaxy s (briliant), I touch the screen and voodoo just disable : the screen turn blueish :(, and when I put off my finguer the screen come back to normal. When I said the screen it is internet not the rest, it look like it is just for internet (not sure).

Have you the same bug ? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuze_freak:
that is because on the internet browser you have the screen brightness set to lower setting... try on the browser: menu button> brightness setting> and scroll it to the maximum...

you will see the diference!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bundao1:
I flashed XWJM8,XXJM4 and XXJM1 (PDA,Phone and CSC respectively) yesterday, rooted and then applied Voodoo beta4.

All was great, but now I have found that the menu and back button don't function at all. They react to being pressed but (the light comes on/off) but don't provide any action with the os. Neither in an app or on the homescreeen.

Luckily the home button still works.

Anyone else experience this? I did a search but nothing came up. Is it voodoo related or JM8 or something really obvious I've missed!

Thanks

Just noticed the phone reacts very slowly to come out of standby too. Hmmmmm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Damia_:
Hi,

I'm planning to buy this phone as soon my carrier start selling it but I would like to know if this fix is working in Galaxy S I9000T, thats is the version thats gonna be sell here, I live in Colombia.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuze_freak:
i have the same firmware as you, and I dont have that problem or any problem that so ever.

Maybe you didn't wipe and factory reset first alway do this before applying any firmware...

it save alot of problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jepiq:
Hi, I just applied this fix (beta4) for my phone. So far is all right, nice voices on first restart :D

so far I have noticed only one issue when auto screen bright setting is on. my screen changes bright from min to noticable high without reason (so far in bulb light environment). it's rather annoing. before the change there was no such issue...

my phone is GT-i9000, with jm7, jm4 and jm1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kg3:
Using voodoo beta 4 lag fix and it is killing my battery hard. Lost 40% in 6 hours while I was sleeping. Surely this is not normal. Prior to voodoo my phone would only consume about 3% overnight. I always kill programs and clear RAM so I doubt anything is running in the background. Running JG4 (Australian firmware).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KLoNe1:
Yeah, it's definitely Voodoo which is killing the battery; supposedly it's not putting the screen in a 'complete' sleep mode or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quangmach:
i got same issue...drain battery :mad:,lost nearly 80% after 15hours idle and later totally off,couldn't turn it on so its not cause of wrong battery status
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jdrake001:
That's strange, I'm on tatuyama rom with voodoo beta 4, and just last nite I forgot to plug it in to charge, only 3% drain observed in the morning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuze_freak:
Yes me too i installed tatuyama jm8 mod last night and left it at 100% and ended up in 97.

Sent from my Galaxy S UK Ver Unlock
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mib1800:
How did you guys get such little 3-5% drain overnight (I assume over 7-8hrs??) ==> i.e 0.6% per hour. What kind of settings you have?

Mine is draining like 1.5% per hour with 3G+backgrounddata+sync+wireless location ON, the rest off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
Set your 3g off it will double your battery life mine does
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AXIS of Reality:
I have the same experience.

I used OCLF with JM1 Rev3, and after a few weeks (2-3?) it was becoming horribly laggy, to the point where it would require about 15 minutes after being turned onto start responding properly and loading all my widgets and LauncherPro. This seemed to just gradually occur over time.

I'm now on JM1 Rev3 (clean wipe and flash) with Voodoo 4 lagfix + colour, and with mostly the same apps and widgets it's running perfectly.

I haven't noticed any significant battery drain yet, and it seemed fine left overnight. I have the screen set to maximum brightness.

Could this supposed screen battery drain be dependent on whether Automatic Brightness or a set brightness level is selected?....eg: the phone thinking the screen is constantly on and continuously monitoring the ambient light levels for automatic brightness?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] =Oberon=:
Was gonna remove the OCLF and try voodoo updateZIP on mine but my OCLF is still working fine,only slight deterioration over a few weeks..nothing bad though.

Anyway,since froyo is getting close might wait for that now instead and see how that performs.If the phone is still to laggy with official froyo guess Ill use OCLF again (Im sure it works on froyo too?) at least until there's a working voodoo fix for froyo.

Another reason Ill hold off trying voodoo is cause some of you guys here are complaining about battery drain with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] huxflux2003:
It seems that the colour correction only applies with full brightness? Or am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrBusiness:
@huxflux: That is true - better settings with more/all brightness levels are planend for upcoming releases ...

At the moment the fix is more for showing people how the display should look ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] huxflux2003:
Thanks, I'll be monitoring project-voodoo.org then. I really like the tweaked color temperature.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jdrake001:
Same here, I'm a big fan of the voodoo color fix, and the low brightness setting is superb! I can now read in the dark without lighting up the whole room
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omrij:
Hi

I'm using beta 4 and it's superb so far.

one little question (because this thread is just too long :))

in order to completly remove voodoo:

does using odin with the "pda" tar of my version after deleting everything but the zimage file inside is sufficient?

I guess that the real question is:

does the tar file containing the original kernel is signed or something like that?

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] huxflux2003:
Is there any way to add the sharpness optimization to a non voodoo kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ufuuu:
Do you know about Koush? Will the ClockWorkMod Recovery be compatible with ext4?

I think ext4 is the most favourite file system,however it's not compatible with CWM. It's pity, I think...

Btw, raspdeep's awesome kernel has CWM compatibility, but it doesn't have restore function :(

Applaud for Voodoo + few small problems

Hi all,

First I'd like to thank SuperCurio + team VooDoo for all the great work. My Galaxy S is (almost) the phone it should be now, blazingly fast!

A few minor problems still exist, hopefully they'll be ironed out in future releases, or if anybody knows a solution or workaround, that'd be very welcome:

* When auto brightness, phone frequently switches to lowest brightness setting and then back to "normal" (even in daylight). Annoying, but workaround is setting backlight manually. The 0% backlight setting is brilliant, so I'll take this annoyance for the very useful 0% backlight setting!

* Occasionally, when booting phone I don't have internet access. 3G logo is not shown, nor is GPRS logo. Before Voodoo, this never happened (although that does not say Voodoo is to blame, I don't know). Only solution I found is rebooting the phone (few times, occasionalily), or enabling and disabling WiFi (sometimes works).

JF3 firmware, Voodoo beta4 (color+lagfix), Vodafone NL, rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] huxflux2003:
I agree with this. The phone is a bit too eager to change to the (incredibly useful) 0% setting. I think that in general the autobrightness does not really work. Its either 0% or 100% for me. Not sure about the 100%, but the granularity is definitely too low. Walking around in the night has a 0% setting, but when you go near the slightest light source the brightness jumps too much and tends to blind you.

I am not sure if it is a voodoo problem though, since I have not tried the above scenario without it.

Can i get this beta 4 on the Rogers Captivate when it releases in a few weeks? Supposedly the same phone as teh USA AT&T captivate
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bess833:
Hello everyone,

sorry for my noob question as I am fairly new to Android and such - my Galaxy S (i9000) has disabled the 3 button recovery mode combo and my question thus is - if I am gonna try to apply the voodoo lagfix using adb, is there any chance that I can brick my phone during that or is it pretty much 99,9% safe? I am also unrooted, so should something happen, warranty should work right? Thanks a lot to anyone who answers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rdy2go:
The internal algorithm should have more "averaging". Now it's changing brightness too quickly.

Btw, fonts look great with beta 4 color fix. It's overlooked improvement but very important to me.

just update to the latest firmware with kies

Samsung Mobile Canada fixed it with JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
The developments on voodoo sound and color on supercurios blog are so exciting! Supercurio you are a legend!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:

Mail send to Wolfson to request the WM8994 datasheet. :

I know i can do a lot without it, but it will be helpful anyway :)

Hope they respond :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
If I download and run the update.zip(beta4, lag fix + colour fix) from the voodoo website, will it change/modify my kernel as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Yes - it replaces your firmware's stock kernel with a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
Thx for the reply, one more question, how does this kernel differ or how much different is it compared to the stock kernel voodoo made by one of the xda members besides the voodoo colour functionality?

And the eta of beta 5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] peachpuff:
Will voodoo sound by any chance allow you to increase the volume of the ear piece and rear speaker?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
We wont really know how its different because the source for JM8 is not there to compare. Some people do say that voodoo kernel sucks more battery than the default JM8 kernel. But its not certain.

ETA of Beta5 in curio's own words - when its ready. I presume not any time within a week given he found some sound tweaks and is planning a UI for it. But he could well finish it in a day - shrug - who knows :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
The only thing we know for sure is that he won't eat, sleep, or do anything else the rest of us mere humans do until he has all the latest tweaks in his mind figured out. The guy's a machine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] epicfailguy2:
Anyone knows if the "Cell standby" bug is still present in JM3+ firmwares ?

Because I run on the JM2 one actually and I have the 50% time without coverage bug that drains my battery.

It only takes to put the phone in airplane mode and back in normal mode one time to get the cellphone to stick to the signal properly (means without having a 50% outside of coverage score in the cell standby category).

I noticed that cell standby uses A LOT LOT less of battery when you do that airplane thing.

I became aware of that problem through engadget who reported the probleme and the airplane fix method for the epic 4G.

Apparently galaxy S has the same problem.

Supercurio, is it possible for the voodoo lagfix to solve this issue ? Likely just by pushing in the boot sequence of the phone a quick 5 second airplane mode at every reboot ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Could you give a link to the fix or to the problem report, please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] epicfailguy2:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/29/epic-4g-problems-so-far-and-a-few-solutions/

If someone wants to write a simple app that would just be called "Galaxy Battery Fix" that would just do an automatic airplane mode switch of 5 seconds at every boot that's also okay with me : P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Oh, maybe, you find they are too weak ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] peachpuff:
Yes, especially the ear piece on my captivate, wish it would be louder, in crowded environments it's hard to hear. The rear speaker is fine but if you can allow us to make it even louder that would be great.

HOW DO I GET RID OR UNINSTALL VOODOO FROM MY PHONE

i no longer which to use it

i cant use Kies as it will not alow me to download any files from it with all the other mods i have done to this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
1. Change ur attitude

2. Read the website dedicated to such questions Link
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jackns:
sorry didnt mean to be rude came accross the wrong way
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jackns:
After installing Voodoo, you may want to try another Firmware or revert to the stock kernel.

Because new firmwares or stock kernels don’t understand Ext4 partition or filesystem, a fully automatic re-conversion to RFS and the exact “data” settings from the default configuration is included.

To archive the revert to RFS operation, you need to complete 2 operations :

■Create a file or folder named “disable lagfix” in a a directory named “Voodoo” in your internal SD card.

■Reboot

Done !

ty for directing me to the area also i did love this fix and will be adding it back on just need to restock my phone and start over

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Chill, just wanted to point out that you would've gotten help without the CAPS ;)

Well once its done uninstalling and you're on the homescreen, 2 ways of ensuring its been uninstalled :

1. Well if u heard the voice and it said complete and it booted to ur homescreen its prolly uninstalled.

2. If u have adb setup, do "adb shell mount" and check for the file sys of /data. It should be rfs, in essense you should not see the string "ext4" anywhere in the ouput from that command. If so, voodoo has been "removed".

Caller cannot hear me after installing Beta 4

Hi everyone, I love the extra speed that Beta 4 has given my SGS!

The only problem is, since I have installed Beta 4 on my SGS everytime I try to make or recieve a call, the person on the other end cannot here me anymore.

I have done some basic testing,

- Swapped sim cards with my wifes phone, it is working fine.

- Tried a voice recorder for phone calls, I can here my voice and the other persons voice, but they still cannot hear me.

- When I have a wired head set attached the other person can hear me.

- When loud speaker is enabled, the other person can hear me, but when loud speaker is disabled the other person can hear me also.

- I have not hard reset my phone, as I want to hear some opinions before I take this path.

Basically no one can hear my voice unless I enable then disable the loud speaker.

My phone is a stock Optus Australian SGS with only market aps installed. I have not rooted, of installed any other lag fix. My 3 button method does not work so I had to use the “adb reboot recovery” method.

I also havnt installed any other apps since installing Voodoo Beta 4.

I have also tried 'To archive the revert to RFS operation, you need to complete 2 operations :

* Create a file or folder named “disable lagfix” in a a directory named “Voodoo” in your internal SD card.

* Reboot

After the successful reboot, the phone was laggy again and the voice problem still remained.

I then deleted the “disable lagfix” directory and applied the lag fix again.

If anyone else has experienced any of these problems, or know if a similar post is some where else in other threads, then I would be greatful for your help!

Same here and the news about a sound fix as well is very exciting I though the sound was already amazing so can’t wait!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fane1:
+1 on the sound i even replied to Curio in one of his tweets.Im a music enthusiast so... about the lag well im getting so confused with so many posts or threads here at xda that i decided to stick with stock voodoo jm8 for now.I wont expect froyo to be the savier what i expect someday is a custom rom without the native launcher and with the rfs completly removed replaced by ext4,ext2 whatever :)

Hello!

Today i installed the voodoo lag fix 3.0 on my JP8. Now i want to try other lag fixes.

Hot to complete remove all the things that come with the voodoo lag fix ? I dont want to just disable it with creating a new folder, i want to remove it.

Is this possible ? How? Thanks!

I istalled it with the update.zip method! And want to hear the easiest remove :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jackns:
will this work the same with a I9000m ? the last time i installed voodoo it worked good however when my phone booted up from scratch it would start off by saying Galaxy s I9000m then switch to I9000 on the boot up screen . is there any reason that would do that ? and by doing that was it messing around with information it shouldnt be.

btw i uninstalled it the other day only because i wanted to put my phone to stock but really liked the fix.
