[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mycorrhiza:
Sorry I am too lazy to pick up on the 40 or so pages since I last read. What exactly changed in pre6? is it worth flashing on top of pre3?

Edit: Just saw on Twitter that it merely changed SU optimization and support for I9000T.

So if you got SU to work already no need to flash as far as I got it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prankey:
I lost some icons in Home screens and Apps list inside twlauncher during conversion from RFS to EXT4. Felt like I lost the apps somehow, but when trying to reinstall they were discovered (as I was asked if I would like to replace).

Is this behavior noticed and fixed in pre6? I dint understand why I had data lost when I never had any kernel panic or ungraceful shutdown condition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvikel2:
the recovery up to 3E after voodoo

so how can back to 2E
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beat.kitano:
I have the same problem with the beta5-pre6... Any solution? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] airpd:
With JP6 and voodoo pre6 i got 1474 points with Quadrant, with JM1 and OCLF v2 i had 2200.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herrfischer:
quadrant is not everything ... :)

which of them feels snappier in use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
synthetic benchmark results are just numbers. just like with pc hardware benchmarks they can't predict real life situations.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] airpd:
I know quadrant is not everything... but still i fell like jm1 and oclf was a bit faster and not "hanging".

Should i do a factory reset ? I didn't want to lose the apps and settings...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
I think it all depends on the ROM being used.

Standard Samsung ROM VS Custom.

On a SuperLite ROM with Voodoo it feels very fast, even though Quadrant is lower.

But I stopped giving a **** about Quadrant. Real life all day experience counts.

And I am very happy with that.

But yes, stock JP6/JPM with Voodoo feels a tiny bit slower than my old JM8 or JM9 + OCLF.

But one can't compare 2.1 with 2.2.

Who knows what else has been changed by Samsung.

I'm guessing more 2.2 ROMs will follow, just like it was the case with 2.1.

And with time things will improve I suppose.

(Even though Samsung was trying to tell us that 2.2 will be the shiznit.)

PS: Screen messup is a known bug, no solution so far afaik.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jimmy-bish:
I agree with this, so I'm holding off from installing Voodoo.

While I'm doing just fine on stock JPM (it's smooth as silk with 30 apps installed at the moment, although not many widgets or background processes), I want Voodoo for ext4, not visual tweaks based on subjective opinion of how the screen should look, and the associated bugs that come with it.

The decision to put completely unrelated features into the same "app" confuses me. It's attempting to fix an issue nobody actually asked for, simply because Curio found those settings in the kernel.

I'm all for playing with code and having fun with side projects, but this is a prime example of why some coders need project managers to hold the reigns! :D

(FYI, nothing against Supercurio or coders in general, and project managers give me the ****s as well. I'm simply a network admin who works with many software devs who also suffer from the same "project blowout" issue once they find something that interests them! lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] giantroxx:
Hi Supercurio,

I applied the following kernel on my fresh JPM Firmware.

[KERNEL][101020] Universal lagfix kernel {alpha 0.1}

Before that, i used Voodoo pre 4.

With the new Kernel I converted everything to Ext 4, also the Database storage and i got about 2000 points in Quadrant.

I know that many people say quadrant is just a synthetic benchmark, but the phone feels EXTREMELY snappy, the few lags left over after appying voodoo are completely gone. Now i need to say that it feels also faster than my last config (JM8 with voodoo)

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fornowagain:
+1 Agree with that, the lagfix implementation is excellent and I rate supercurio work highly. I'd just prefer not to have the visual tweaks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] antineocon:
accelerometer stops working witrh pre3, fixed?

I had this problem too with pre3 on JPM GT-I9000, had to reflash ROM to restore auto-rotate. Any idea if this problem still exists?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
+1. I'm happy with everything in Froyo but the lag. I'm just after a bug-free lagfix and nothing else. Anything else = more bugs, which may eventually be resolved, but I'm not after a good working lagfix being mixed with non-related experimental optimisations.

Having said that, it is Curio's own project - and I'm happy with the way it works at the moment (I won't be updating to the newer version with screen enhancments though) - and I wish him the best with all his hard work. There's a few lagfixes around now slowly progressing, so I'm sure by the time official Froyo is out on Kies, there'll be some lagfix out there to meet everyone's needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I flashed Voodoo pre 6 over JPM with CF-rooted and 2e. I had about 45 Apps installed and the first boot took under 5min.

Phone is now very fast and still got root but Busybox and 2e recovery are gone. Busybox is easy to reinstall with market but cant get 2e working.

Tried flashing CF root 1.2 result in Blackscreen. Fixed it with flashing over Voodoo pre6 again but still no 2e. And the Phone settings were resetted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
+1 ! was in pre3 pre4 and pre6 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nandihno:
Ok.. i've applied voodoo pre 6 and yes feels more snappy :)

quadrant at around 1500~

however my question to mr Curio is..

if Samsung is working on a new faster FroYo to come out sometime in November

would that mean that you will have to re do this FroYo voodoo version?

I am guessing so..as the source code will be very different if they want to speed things up..

Would you continue development of the current voodoo Froyo... or will u stop development as maybe a new Froyo will come out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
galaxy s on jpm and voodoo (pre6) ;)

last coun there's about 80 apps installed on top of what default Galaxy S provides.

[YOUTUBE]h_-2aYKuys0[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trasig:
New froyo will use 2.6.32 also so wont be a problem at all to adjust it. Eclair used kernel 2.6.29 so he had to recode voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eugene8310:
can you please fix it in pre7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
My Voodoo 5 Pre6 fix is working :D

- Tayutama JPM ROM

- Working root (need to download and install busybox for titanium backup to work)

- recovery 2e is set

- ClockworkMod Recovery working

For those have problem getting recovery 2e to work, you will need

Download busybox from market and update so your root will work on titanium backup as well as root explorer

Get Recovery 2e file from here http://www.multiupload.com/N5CJ4MP61R

and follow these steps

1. uncompress the downloaded file recovery 2e and copy the direcotry to sdcard and rename it to recovery2e

2. Using root explorer copy File recovery from recovery2e on sdcard to /system/bin

3. Using root explorer copy Folder recovery in xbin to /system/xbin

and I just succeeded backing up my ROM using Clockworkmod :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] int0x21:
Im starting to se a defentive wishlist mod now

Voodoo with oc and hardcores init tweeks

Trying to get some time to set everything up to help but tight at work.

Is anyone working on a combo like this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] teriemer:
Work like a charm here as well

Running Voodoo Pre6 on JP6 and no problems so far. Fast and snappy although experienced a couple of lags.

Root is working too :)

@ Supercurio - please include root in the following versions of Voodoo.

Keep on the good work and enjoy your beer ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KaliKot:
is it possible to access that starhub tv thing outside singapore?

I want it :(

your phone definitely looks zippy after voodoo, looks quite faster than mine after it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
Just installed pre6 over tayutama.

Everything is working. Launching apps is really istant and fast.

I use launcherpro, it is smooth but in the app drawer (and in every "scrolling situation") the scrolling isn't smooth as it was with eclair+voodoo.

It is a bit jerky (I hope this is the right word :D )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Starhub data connection required.... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pete_1983:
I note that there was a comment before that JPK doesnt work with this, I am currently running JPK with vodoo pre3 and working well
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KaliKot:
thats too bad! gotta move to singapore then!

well at least we get an unbranded phone over here over the exclusive carrier
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvikel2:
i do it but after that my galaxy stuck in logo and didnt startup

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rugg85:
sorry, a little question to you...

do you flash the new voodoo (pre6) over the old version (pre3 - 4)?

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
I need to delete the .zip on the file on pre6, right ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nanoinside:
hi i have just installed this over old voodoo pre3 on jp6. n working
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eugene8310:
me too...

take battery out and it will start BUT you won't have ANY recovery untill you flash your old kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvikel2:
i flash to cf-root kernel

and flash again to pre6. Now all work and starting

but i ****ed my recovery so for right now my phone cant get into recovery

at all.

now what to do now. how can i restore my recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
This getting stuck after success convert, is there a way to fix my phone back aside from reflashing everything ? Could i possibly just reflash the zImage alone ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ganfas:
I'm with Pre6 and superuser installed, but i still got root problems, how can i solve this, without having to flash jpm + root + voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beat.kitano:
I have used SuperOneClick v1.5.1 for the root of the phone.

No problem with Voodoo beta5 and the root access.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eugene8310:
disable voodoo

restart

flash CF Root Kernel

and 2e works again!

I just did it... waiting for voodoo with WORKING 2e
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Sorry.

You can fix by reflash voodoo pre 6, this will fix the phone.

As got recovery 2e. Try add additional step of copy the xbin folder also to xbin. You need to redo busybox after that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvikel2:
but if u do this u stay without voodoo right?

2. what diffrent between 2e to 3e?

3. thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] extralife:
good looking - but battry drain from 64 to 59 about 7 minutes ... hmm:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Hello Supercurio,

I have bricked my phone by flashing the pre6-kernel with odin. Maybe I have done sth. wrong?

Details:

- Samsung Galaxy S 9000, Germany, without branding or sth.

- Firmware JP6 (the "official", flashed by KIES (JM1 before) with wipe and deleting cache

- OneClickRoot

- No other lagfix, clockmod or something else

I used the instructions on your fanpage. Odin showed a failure (--> screenshot).

Since then, my phone doesn't start. There is this "black screen of death" (with orange triangle). It appears directly after pushing the powerbutton. If I plug in the USB-cable, the symbol appears without starting the phone.

- Any Ideas?

- What is wrong with the phone? Bootloader?

- Do I need to have a new mainboard?

EDIT: Download-mode and recovery-mode don't work since update to JP6 and I didn't even get to the Galaxy-S-symbol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvikel2:
its not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eugene8310:
Recovery 2e can flash unsigned update.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Nice look screen though.. whats it called?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
Closely following this thread....

Curio, you need to abandon the root etc, and focus purely on the lagfix itself.....this is becoming a massive problem and people on various skills and knowledge levels are having no end of problems.

Those who have root issues should look to the threads which deal with root issues. This is the simple way... I myself would love to try out this, but even when its completed i'll still have doubts and low confidence in an attempt to sample it. Which without a doubt leads OCLF, as the preferred choice, because of its simplicity, ease of use, simplicity of installation and uninstallation..

Curio you seriously need to consider this before trying to attempt the impossible.....take into account the maintenance of this and implementing so much into one package, its alot to ask of, especially on your behalf.

This project is turning into a program....not a fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KaliKot:
keep the root curio its very helpful
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
Don't....its to much of an issue for the larger percentage of users...

Your "i need help, my phone won't start" list will be huge!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] authmn:
Try to Flash Release Pre 6 Over Pre 4.

Scared the **** out of my life.

The screen was stuck at the Samsung screen for a long time.

Desparate, i reflash back to the Pre 4 version. now its ok
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
I can't flash everything, the 3-Button-mode doesn't work since update to JP6 and the bootloader doesn't boot to get an usb-connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
curio has already gotten it right (Some innocuous mistake) so it is silly to take it out just because of your comments.

if you don't like it, go for other lagfix (esply oclf if it works for you, and you are happy with it after a few days of usage)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] authmn:
I still prefer voodoo. thats why i switch back to Pre 4.

but my phone just wont start with Pre 6.

Is it solved? i just downloaded the latest version and its the same
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
The problem is with pre 3 it breaks the existing root and recovery 2e which started all these issue that leads to pre 6 now and we are close to the solution and many people manage to over come it. Abandon it now is a step backward.

Unless the lag fix doesn't effect existing root and recovery setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Please install busybox from the market and update. Try update busybox for few times until it remove other busybox and left with one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Does your phone originally comes with 3 button ability?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
I begin with jpk rom repartition with 512 pit. Then flash with i9000 kernel to get recovery 2e.

Than start clockworkmod with mod if your existing update.zip is already clockworkmod.

I think repartition help wipe the phone memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
No, it doesn't. I had fixed it with richthofen's fix and it worked, but since I flashed JP6 via Kies, it's disabled again.

If the 3 Button mode works, could I definitly use it? Or is it possible to "destroy" the bootloader in a way that nothing can help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Did you try to run the 3 button fix again after update to jp6.

From your case look like the 3 button fix is just a soft fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hosmsdos:
Hey great job on voodoo, is it possible to add more folder to be converted to ext4. The performance of voodoo in eclair is much faster than froyo. Is it possible to enhance touchwiz app drawer, try to move the pages really fast you will see a huge lag in touchwiz with voodoo.

i am using jpa.

is voodoo performance the same on these roms jp6,jpm,jpa?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mertkan:
can we use oclf over voodoo?ı read that that is much faster.(ext2 over ext4).Can we use it with pre6 version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
No, I didn't, because some users report that this will corrupt the bootloader on 2.2.

As far as I know, this fix affects the bootloader. I've flashed it with JM5 and after some flashing, the fix still worked. But now with JP6...

Anyway, I guess there is no way to activate it without working bootloader?

Does anybody know if Samsung or their technical support center have a possibility to fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, the video glitch. neldar (form BLN) said he know how to fix it and I will borrow his solution.

That's a bug/misconfiguration in Samsung sources, but don't affect anything else than a few milliseconds at boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
And since almost everyone here is flashing their phones, branded or unbranded makes no difference. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
I tried oclf V2 fix fail. Not able to install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Dont worry your phone is not briked but what you flashed is an invalid/corrupt kernel.

Flashe a verified kernel and it will be alright.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Thanks, but the problem is: Odin doesn't connect to the phone anymore... :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes I share 100% your opinion.

At first I added root into Voodoo Froyo because as we don't have the "open" 2e recovery it's not as easy as before to install root.

I don't want to deal with root problem (xxx root app not working, etc, that's not the point).

That's why I'll make root and recovery 2e (open) as Voodoo extensions starting with the next preview.

How will extensions work ? Simple, just put the "extension file" in your /sdcard/Voodoo/extensions directory and they will be integrated at boot.

I'm currently designing the code to do this cleanly, so that third people will be able to make their own extensions !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes sometimes Odin just fails.

We really need a better way to distribute it (without the need of root nor a hacked recovery of course!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
OCLF/any other lagfix is not useful when you have Voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Sorry I didn't saw your last "Edit".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
How did you get to the download mode to begin with ?

adb reboot download?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Right now, my laptop runs in a coded infinite loop to produce the heat. I will at least try to do this "heat trick" :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Jepp, adb reboot recovery. Can the problem be caused by this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes as i can see this is becoming more of a headache for you lol, but mainly distracting you from your original goal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moophone:
Will this allow 2e recovery to be added in as an extension. Will we see this in the next release?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Read this in another thread - apparently there could be a way to recover from this if you dont have a working 3BR mode.

Press the Download mode key combination, the phone should reboot in a loop. After 2 reboots (3rd boot) let go of the buttons and it's supposed to go into Download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Nope... :-(

But thanks, every idea is welcome! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] exgtigsr:
yeah...BUT u can see the big ol "H"..

means he got 3G turned on... that should explains it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
big ol "H".. :D

lmao... just looked on my phone and TADA!!!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>>> H <<<<<<<

LOL

No wonder my wife always saying "ARE YOU FACKIN CHARGING THE PHONE AGAIN!!, NICE ELECTRIC BILL!!!!!!! "

LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Does this mean the future voodoo release will still effect users original root and recovery setup? Unless they have third party extension?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Not at all. I added the warning to the first post.

As Odin fails with something like 1% or 2% of flash operation i strongly advice people without 3button access to the download mode.

I'm really sorry to hear of your problem and I'm afraid there is not much I can do. I wish you good luck and hope you'll find a solution in the 3-buttons threads!

Odin is something i'll try to avoid as much as possible, and as soon as possible for the future releases.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Currently (secure, still need Superuser.apk) root is installed in your /system.

As long as Voodoo pre6 boot and you don't flash another firmware, it's installed ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GrummelGrumpy:
Never mind, I will get this phone working ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Great I love this spririt !

Don't hesitate to share your experience once you managed to do what you want :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
May I recommend using graphsh, so you can communicate with the user using the framebuffer during the pre-init stage?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Well de pre 4 fixed my bootglitch. . It is gone.. It is working perfectly

Thq my samsung is Supah Dupah now...

Sent from my Intergalactic Supah Dupah Spaceship¡¡!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hey sztupy, this is a good idea.

I chose the sound because it was cool and the surprise effect work each time ;)

But for debugging purposes your solution can be very efficient, and stabilizing is the current priority.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Yes, sound is cool, but would be even cooler if it had a speech synthesis device :)

Some info about graphsh here
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks i didn't knew it could be used as standalone,

Unhelpful ported Voodoo to bionic's busybox+CWM recovery a few weeks ago and was studying how to use it as UI, i'm sure your project will interest him much too :)

I optimized Voodoo heavily for size in the goal to inject it even in smallest ramdisks. After this will be tested (In future Vibrant Froyo kernels) why not add new features like the one you suggest!

See ya sztupy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
He can find the sources for my CWM mod on my github account.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yeah this is very nice of you having published all this right away ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mertkan:
ı tried oclf with voodoo pre-6 and it works.But you have to install V1+.I don't see any performance improvments with this.Also phone become slower than before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
So, who can help me nov, to get back the 2e recovery ? I have worket pre6 on JP6 and root and busybox are doing fine!

Thx for the Answer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dehem333:
I received the "official" froyo via kies with the reg hack and im now using pre6 with it and its working great , but ive also heard there is maybe a new version of froyo coming , will i still get this via kies and do i need to remove the kernel or just disable it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xvarthx:
First of all, i wish to thank supercurio for what he did. Then, i really want to know if a JFS voodoo will ever seen the light :)

Thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
When this lagfix for Froyo will be 100% stable, I'll open more access to the code and other developers will be able to extend it.

But already the idea exchange and the publication of the sources allows alternative to be created much faster than in the beginning, and it's a sign of good health for the SGS dev!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
2e "test open" recovery will be available soon as an extension.
