supercurio proceeds as voodoo for JPM? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Arfjffhhtbvfbh how long?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rytkonen:
It seems that the Froyo is now officially available in my country. Just a quick check, am I able to update to Froyo normally through Kies if I just create the disable lagfix folder to the voodoo folder?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
you should disable the lagfix, before upgrading to froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
This is stated on the Voodoo website

"Does this Kernel require disabling a headphone equalizer with Service Mode?

No need to, the headphone output don’t suffer from the bad EQ applied in first versions of Galaxy S firmwares."

however, when i enter the service mode and check the Audio>headset>Daimond solutions>Mic Tix> Fir_coeff table, the defaault values are still there instead of the "0" which is stated in Supercurio's own sounfix thread.

is This normal?

Voodoo beta 4 installed succesfully with 1811 Quadrant.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
is it "disable lagfix" or "disable-lagfix" as the website shows both?

also, with beta 4, does this also remove the color fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
1) -> both will work

2) -> no color fix stays... until you flash/upgrade to another kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
Cool, thanks. As I can't get Kies to connect any more, I'm going to disable the lagfix so I can see if Froyo is available in my area.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rytkonen:
I have succesfully upgraded to official Froyo by disabling lag fix. Hopefully Voodoo to Froyo comes soon. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
Fingers cross :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnttiV:
I did the same and everything went good, except my market disappeared... Talking to samsung currently to try to figure out what went wrong...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobydeek:
Currently with 2.1 and Voodoo beta 4.

After installing Froyo, what are the steps from then on?

1, Simply Remove "disable lagfix"

OR

2, Flash Voodoo beta 5 (when its released), THEN remove "disable lagfix" ?

thanks :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
hard reset again to get back market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gh0stw4lk3r:
you can do 1 , because with froyo you don't have the voodoo kernel anymore. so the lagfix won't be installed now.

if you do 2 , you will forget you had the disbale lagfix on your sdcard, and when installing beta5 you wonder why it all happend so fast ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
disable it, than reboot, than flash, then just format internal card. And you will lose it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beat.kitano:
http://twitter.com/supercurio

"Erf ^^ it also fails to reboot, /data is wiped at each boot. I guess this preview release is definitely not ready."
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karayemis:
Thats not good i guess
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I'm not stuck anymore!

I hope release the beta5 Froyo preview during the next 24 hours ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beat.kitano:
Good job, supercurio! We're waiting for your beta5. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Aww shucks! I was hoping it would be more like the next 2.4 hours :D

Waiting eagerly! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Can't wait!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zilvesta123:
Yeah, voodoo for Froyo would be great.

One Click Lag Fix is far too messy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hatori:
Dream nearly come true. I am counting down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
Voodoo and FroYo? Simply can't wait! Keep up the good work Supercurio :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobydeek:
how would u get rid of the effects of Voodoo Color Fix (beta 4)?

its started to play up and brightness sets itself to the lowest all the time :(

ah things used to be so simple with my htc hero :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
I have this same issue although I have JM2 with beta 4 fixes. Everything is fine except for this problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix it as it's very annoying :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bsamurai:
This its one great news!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tynen:
Can has voodoo lagfix beta 5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
If you guys are bored waiting for Voodoo, you can give z4mod a try (currently EXT2 only though, but works on Froyo) while supercurio finishes off Voodoo.

Check out this post here for a very short howto: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8645837&postcount=169

Basic idea is that you flash a kernel patched by z4mod, and then use the update.zip to change your partition over to what you need.

And for anybody thinking this is overly competitive - it just might be! Competition is good, and it keeps the innovation moving faster. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
I think I will give this a try, I was looking at this thread a few days ago but I didn't know if it was safe/ready to use yet.

Does this work functionally the same as Voodoo, fully replacing the file system with Ext2? Are both system and data changed or just data?

To phrase it another way--does this do basically the same thing as voodoo (just ext2 instead of ext4) in terms of file system? (aside from color, sound stuff, etc.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Relief2010:
That depends on the type of competition. When its about money, innovation will move faster indeed. But when its only pride and for the fun of doing stuff, then it will move much slower ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
I installed froyo over voodoo by mistake and just had to do 3 button recovery and wipe data.looking forward to voodoo on froyo, this lag its unbearable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Very buggy, lots of problems.

Better off waiting for Voodoo with proper testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bub181:
Can you elaborate please? It would help in the development.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
I don't really agree here, competition always helps since it's all open source. supercurio can see how z4ziggy has handled the /data reformat problem and use the same solution verbatim if he chooses. :)

Yeah, it does the same thing. It can replace any partition (kernel support), but the update.zip currently only moves /data.

MOD EDIT: Ryan, if you want to simply offer an alternative method for use in the meantime, that's fine...but making snarky comments about other's opinions isn't acceptable
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
RyanZA, i don't know if you're aware of the limitations of z4mod, or even know really what it does (take a look at the source)

Recommanding to Voodoo users to try it without informing people that it's a pure research project is a bad idea.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
You're mistaken here, it's not a research project. You're thinking of sztupy's kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809109, which is a research project. :)

z4mod has no real limitations at this point (it is missing the /system feature, and EXT4 feature though), and runs perfectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Sadly, I'm not paid. It really is very buggy. Anyone can try it out for themselves, but I can be sure they will regret it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
@RyanZA ah okay cool, nice to see he managed to do it ! (if you says so. i don't know why he calls it Stage 1 0.2 Alpha and people are reporting data and settings lost)

Infos on his website or the thread (don't remember) must be obsolete, because "usable" is not what i saw ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Yep! They need to know about it to give it a try though. Ignore this stuff if you aren't interested. And it doesn't seem buggy to me. As previously asked by someone else, what bugs did you get? :)

Info does seem to be obsolete. Anyway grab the source, hopefully something inside will make Voodoo even 1% better! :) Although I suppose you're in testing phase now, can't wait to try it out. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] goodnight65:
....waiing for froyo/voodoo also....

Was the only thing making my phone smooth and superfast...

But have tested a lot of other stuff also.

So thank you for your great work Supercurio, I will support you..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
@ supercurio Howlong do you think it is gonna be released? I got zstupy's kernel now but it is burning my battary like it is fireworks with new years so i really need youre fix man ....

Btw Thanks vooor the supa dupa work man .. Im gonna support ya for sure...

Made a Donation To .. Gonna clear in 4 to 5 Days!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] goodnight65:
Donation is on the way from DjG..... ;-)

So keep on your fantastic work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Currently I work full time on it, so I can't tell exactly when I will release except as soon as possible -with quality-

I have still a few hours of work to finish it, plus the time to test it fully and potentially correct bugs.

For that it depends on mister and misses bugs appearances :D

By the way, your battery stuff must be spectacular^^

Thanks DjG :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Yeah man when i am on internet it burns 10 percent in 30 minutes or so pffffff never done that before that kernel sooo ... It is unusable . But hew it really fast so it is nice to see what the SGS can do ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
10% in 30min of constant display seems reasonable, I think it should mostly depends on the screen brightness btw.

Well, battery life is always a tricky question and % measurement is often a bit off after flashings.

About speed I agree, the difference comparing RFS and Ext4 is even much more dramatic on Froyo than it was on Eclair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
As soon as i sort out issues with my Paypal account I will be donating to Supercurio. I seriously am in need of my Voodoo fix on Froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludow:
Thanks supercurio. Waiting and drooling. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danamoult:
The tension in this thread is lol.

Wow, this is making me anticipate it even more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
Me too, I can barely stand using my phone without voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
I don't think it has to do with screen brightness.. my battery will be draining even when not browsing, if i enable data network mode..

PDA/PHONE/CSC is all JPM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cmf:
Hi Supercurio! Will you be doing a jp6 one as well as jpm? Because it looks like jp6 is the better one. Jpm email.apk is broken for corporate exchange 2010 sp1, jp6 is good.

I am using Ryan's oclf right now after rooting via update.zip, and that is working very well but I want ext4 because ext2 is a bit dated in comparison.

Thanks for the hard work all of you.

P.s. Is it not possible to insmod/modprobe an ext4.ko so that no new kernel is needed? I realise I know nothing about how these firmwares work, just asking/curious..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomdot:
Absolutely agree. One of the rare things that a donation worthy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] r3loaded2010:
I think filesystem modules need to be integrated into the kernel. One reason is performance. The other - how will the kernel load the ext4 module from an ext4 filesystem if it doesn't have the logic to do that? :)

I'm not a kernel dev, but I'm guessing that's the reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cmf:
It don't think there is any performance deficit with kernel modules, and the module file would usually be in the initial ramdisk, or boot partition. Perhaps the stock kernel has module support disabled altogether. Also I thought that these lag fixes only did the data partition but thinking about it now, I seem to remember reading something in this thread where Ryan said that another one "only did the /data partition", so perhaps I thought wrong anyway ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
just wondering... how many sgs' did supercurio get bricked while testing/debugging/writing voodoosoftware for it :)

and how many sgs' does he own ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
im no expert on this but i think this type of mods dont brick
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] r3loaded2010:
You can't really brick the phone if you don't touch the bootloader. This holds the recovery mode and download mode, and it's kept separate from the android system. If anything does blow up, you can always flash back with Odin.

An equivalent analogy for computers would be the BIOS and the OS. You can't truly and irrevocably trash your computer if you don't touch the BIOS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
True, I get it.. had just a small train of thoughts.. didn't think on that..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Antonyjeweet:
Wondering when an ext4 lagfix for Jpm is released.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lugi93:
Soon, just check his tweets http://twitter.com/supercurio/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
I do hope that the version for froyo will have stand alone lagfix because my handset already has a very good color temp and I dont have any of those overly blue hues and such. Im not a big fan of any lagfix my self because my handset does not have any noticable lag aside from opening the contacts w/c probably takes 1.5-2seconds due to the callerID images but Im always open to these things if it makes the phone run faster or more efficient ( even if i dont really notice it )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Still he must have had some experience with brikking phones :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DARKKRAKEN:
He's already said that teh first release for froya will be purely a lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Hmm.. About two hours to go till that deadline expires! Can our Jack Bauer do it? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
he said he hopes it will be finished in 24hr.. thats not the same as a deadline...

would be cool if he made it anyway ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Coding is much harder than Bauer's brute force! ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herrfischer:
voodoo lagfix for 2.2? i installed voodoo on 2.1 and it helped a lot, after 2 days i installed 2.2 and i think it runs like 2.1 + voodoo. i am looking forward to this :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
[extremely off-topic:] did you know Jack Bauer is called Bob in the Netherlands?:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jersr:
You're kiddin' right? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] frostering:
I'm with you, 2.1+ voodoo runs like 2.2.

I can't wait for Voodoo for Froyo, I don't expect magic from supercurio (but i hope it), but definetly this would be a great modification for our Froyo Galaxy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herrfischer:
voodoo on 2.1 for me was like magic! it felt like 10x faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TechnicR:
How did you flash to FroYo? Did you use Odin (if so, which PIT did you use?) or you used Kies? (if so, was it official, wothout hack, or with hack?)

Because I used Odin, with 512 PIT and it is awfully laggy. And by reading the other FroYO posts I believe I am not the only one experiencing lag issues
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herrfischer:
i did it that way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809423

just 3 changes in the registry (no root or odin required). kies ran at 1.5.1 on a w7 x64 machine - and i had to do a factory reset after installing 2.2!! without factory reset it ran horribly ... :o

but now ... like a charm ... :)

warning: In other words don't flash this on a US device that needs the 850 band since this rom is for europe.

my galaxy is german.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TechnicR:
I also did a factory reset and a wipe catch via the recovery menu. But for me, it feels more laggy, than 2.1 without lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
JPM is laggy for me too, I'm really hoping supercurio or one of the other devs gives us a rooted froyo rom that just runs on ext4 so we can flash once and call it a day. I guess it would be better if someone could figure out why rfs sucks so badly and fix it but that is for another thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T0TORO:
Just wanna ask, but is this going to fix the lag/choppiness with flash on websites like youtube?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
I used the description on samfirmware.com for JPM, first flash to I9000XWJM8 with RE-Partition and 512.pit. Than I9000XXJPM without RE-Partion use 803.pit

Afterwards i rooted it and applied the OCLF from the market, runs nice, but could run much better with EXT4 instead of EXT2

get a quadrant score of 1900 (though this says nothing, because of the lagfix)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello T0TORO!

I noticed the same thing, bad surprise after all this Adobe PR about hardware accelerated Flash video decoding!

But sorry it won't be fixed by Voodoo ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kryston:
any eta for vodoo for 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zilvesta123:
Thats what I wanna know as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herrfischer:
i think if there is something new we will know it ...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Sorry, after failing to deliver an accurate ETA I won't give new ones (and make people unhappy about me being late)

But you can follow what append on twitter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asgard:
Swoops in...

Guys, lets not allow a minor difference of opinion and thoughts start to drive a wedge or divisive stirring spoon through our SGS community here!

Lets extend the olive leaf to all parties, and help each other as much as we can or are willing in the spirit of community betterment and the added enjoyment of everyone here.

So theres a minor spat over the lag fixing, each party has brought SO MUCH to the table for everyone here though, RyanZA for his early and continued work and currently available Lagfix, and to some the heir apparent lagfix Supercurio's Voodoo! We thank you both for so much!

Lets stay strong, agree to disagree and just solider on, we've made great progress and woul d be a shame to have people "leave" these forums or contribute less or have an all out war over what is ultimately EXACTLY the same aim!

Supercurio, RyanZA, you are both so valued here - agree to disagree... some people will prefer one way, some another, ultimately people got to live with their choice... you guys are working to the same aim - and anyway its only a minor "professional" differing of opinion, don't let the descending spoon stirrers whisp it into Desert Storm ;)

Respect. I look forward to all the great stuff everyone here is working on in the coming weeks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ok, we are both passionate guys and maybe a little too much sensitive.

But please don't use such big words ! ;)

I would have prefer being compared to "Linus" dictator that to "Steve Jobs" dictator.

This is about OpenSource ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
/data contains:

- every data which your phone :

- except some little apps settings

- except media files (photos, videos) in /sdcard

- contains your contacts

- contains all your apps

- contains most of your settings (wifi passwords, etc)

- contains your mails

if /data is invalid, the phone can't complete his boot process.

100% right, people can't decide without proper knowledge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lyno:
Sure but what's to stop me using ext2, creating a regular titanium backup and in the case of losing everything, just re flash and restore backup?

If it adds even just 5%, a lot of people will want to use the faster one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
What would happen if you used yaffs instead of ext4? Are there any disadvantages to using ext4 in regards to the life of ther internal sd?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
It adds 5% to 1 specific ultra synthetic benchmark

If it's all about performance ignoring the risk, I'm waiting for your demonstration showing that you get this 5% in real life daily usage.

And allow me to doubt that you will get anything like 5%. I wouldn't be surprised if the phone is faster, remember ext4 has more features than ext2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Indeed. Who's stopping you?

Go do it! supercurio's choosing not to do it because of his own beliefs. You're always welcome to do otherwise!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
lol.. i think this question has been asked at least a 100 times on this forum.. because our /data partition is sitting on mmc and yaffs2 only runs on raw nand.. until someone has the time to port it to work on mmc, its not possible

Sure, it is OpenSource, you already have the current ramdisk for beta1 and i'll publish the whole thing in github as soon as I'll have the time to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Isn't it very simple?

The author chose a solution (EXT4) and sticks with that. Everyone is free to simply use it as is, OR go ahead and tweak (once/if sources are released) to their own findings...

I can imagine the author wants to guarantee safety of data (hell, IF someone's phone gets messed because of the fix icw some rare occurrence even though it's mentioned in the readme or something, the author is bound to get blamed) and assume the positives and negatives have been weighed.

Just accept the way it is now, or make your own version suited to your needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
I can vouch that ROM Manager DOES NOT work on this fix. The screen gets stuck on "Replacing stock recovery with ClockworkMOD Recovery"

Thankfully it won't brick your phone. You just need to pull out the battery and reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
I feel you are way out of line here. RyanZA has only been asking questions for information from what I have seen. There is nothing wrong with having several discerning eyes check things over.

I would suggest that you back off unless you have something constructive to offer.
