Hey Supercurio,

Do you intent on releasing a new update.zip for Voodoo 5 pre 6?

I already have root, busybox, recovery 2e and super user using one click root. Will I loose any of these setting flashing the odin package or applying an update.zip?

Cheers,

Irwin
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xvarthx:
Wow you were so fast... we'll see later then ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
With odin you have to refix your root busybox and recovery. No update.zip currently available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karayemis:
Curio I was wondering... Are you doing this for free ? If you dont do you earn as much money as you deserve ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arash64a:
Hi supercurio

Very thanks because of your lag fix operation.

I have a question of you :

AFTER FLASHING YOUR PRE 6 WITH ODIN MY RECOVER UPGRADE FROM 2e TO 3e ?

MY ROM FW IS JPJPA,2e.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
He does but you can donate if you wish to. For all the work he has done I feel people should donate at least few euros if they are going to use Voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ikenley:
xtrememorph,

If an Update.zip was made available would it also remove those elements?

I really want voodoo, but would rather minimize the need to do further modding afterwards.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
if use pre6, make sure after successful conversion, you reinstall superuser and busybox for market.

Run busybox app, install busybox once, than install again, now it will ask you which folder to install and remove the unwanted one.

Than try your luck on recovery 2e....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
wanted to disable_lagfix going over to universal to try overkill.. since i'm a light weight user. but somehow my disable_lagfix got screw up half way and become semi functional phone..

oh well....

lucky i got 2e working and CWM working... able to backup me barebone setup. haha knew it will come in handy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
there's no need to disable lagfix just to go over to universal lagfix kernel. I didn't, and the transition is smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] damirbusic:
Tnx for clearing that up :) I hope that you will make color fix to work on all brightness settings because this blueish tint is annoying.

Tnx for your work !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Galaxylegend:
I am trying to install pre6 on froyo but I got error "E: signature verification failed...

Could you guys please tell me, what I am doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
This is getting to much lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Just switched to JPM ROM, and tried with pre6 again. I still get stuck in a boot loop after the robotic voice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Aiyah if i have met you earlier would be good :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
you need recovery2e....

however pre6 is via odin not via update so there isn't a need for recovery mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Meza1:
I took the plunge and installed Voodoo Pre 6 with ODIN just now. It was really easy, and the phone flies now! Reminds me of the instant gratification when I had my S3 chipped ;)

Thanks supercurio, I will be donating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
its widgetlocker
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thecresta:
Just thought I'd say, I'm using Docs JPA rom and Voodoo 5 pre6, any my phone is absolutely flying, and the battery life is better than it has ever been!

Voodoo brightness problem with beta 4 on JM2

Hello everyone!

I installed the beta 4 lagfix voodoo on the galaxy s. I noticed something strange since. The brightness of the screen (when it is automatic) sometimes varies sharply to the brightness level of the lowest return for a few seconds later in a proper brightness - even in the full game! or in the menus ...

My problem seems to appear light when the phone is plugged into a power source (USB or charger).

Is this normal?

I am on Eclair (2.1 Update1) and on the firmeware POJM2. What can I do? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] echidna2001:
Nope. I don't have a problem with brightness.

Do you understand that the automatic brightness is controlled by a sensor near the top of the phone to the left of the speaker grill? If you cover this region with your hand (as may happen when playing a game in landscape mode) then auto automatic brightness will think it's dark and reduce the brightness of the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arut16:
Thank you for the suggestion but this is not the problem. This occurs without any interference with the light sensor or proximity.

Others ideas ?:o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fomofo:
Seems to be a "catch 22" situation here...

Install CF-root first then Voodoo pre6 -> lose 2e recovery (and busybox, but that's fixable).

Install Voodoo pre6 (no disable_lagfix) then CF-root -> a few vibrates and blank screen.

Install Voodoo pre6 (disable_lagfix) then CF-root -> lose Voodoo...

Is there any way to have Voodoo/root/2e recovery at the same time??

Sorry if it's been covered, but 217 pages is a lot of reading.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Srdjan1982:
I have a minor screen corruption during the phone boot.It happens every time while booting.Is that normal?!

Other than that,lagfix works perfectly! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omiks3:
Theres a recovery 2e hack how to in the dev section. I did the adb way and it worked
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidgm16:
Do anyone face alot of force close and lag for pingchat with pre6
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fomofo:
Thanks omiks3...I didn't realize there was a separate 2e hack, had to re-install busybox, then applied the hack through ADB.

Now I'm happy. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MemphisLeak:
I also have this problem. Auto brightness does not seem to work at all and the blue tint returns when not in full brightness.

I update.zip'd the colour patch+lagfix on top of an existing voodoo lagfix (same version). Running 2.1 eclair jm9.

Any help removing the colour fix or solving the problem is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arut16:
I'm agree. Help. :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] faizalr:
I use OCLF before and now move to this Voodoo beta 5 prev 6 for my JPM firmware.

I found no differ from OCLF in term of lag. In addition the battery drain faster. Is my experience id common, or I need to apply voodoo from the fresh firmware to have the full benefit. Please enlighten me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
@supercurio

I've been having the boot loop after voice problem with pre6, on both JPM and JP6 firmwares.

As you suggested, I've installed Voodoo kernel with lagfix disabled to collect the logs. They are attached here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j-a-c-k:
Unfortunately, I confirm this:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello !

Thanks for the logs. I read them but they show a perfect boot in rfs mode after lagfix has been disabled :)

Maybe you'll find logs reporting errors ? see ya
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] icsssss:
I have the same problem.. however the lagfix works very well. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
is there any advantage to updating from pre 3 to pre 6?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dehem333:
Hi, I got voodoo for a while now and i have a weird bug that the market is only showing gmail at downloads , anyone else having this and possible solution
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
Still about battery life: there's a kind of randomness in draining, so I don't think it's kernel-related. Yesterday my SGS, patched, made the whole day (7.30 - 23.30) without a charge, with a 30% of battery left, a good performance..

Today I left home at the same time, and just 30 minutes after my battery dropped by 5% (with no use of the device at all, it was in my pocke or on my desk). I did a reboot and now it's @95% since last 20 minutes. I guess there's some process, or some service, which is causing the drainig. I'm going to investigate.. :)

edit: I didn't power off my phone during the night, so it was the same "session", there where just 2 scheduled tasks during the night (sms backup & titanium backup), which completed their job while the SGS was on charge. Tried even to kill some background tasks when battery was @97%, still it dropped to 95% as I said. Who knows!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mahagon Coral:
Am I the only one whose battery life GREATLY improved? Before Ia had about/nearly one day, forcing me to connect the phone to the charger when comimg home in the evening... now I‘m like having a minimum of 60% left when I arrive.

Awesome fix! Keep up the good work!

Ps had many more problems with ext2 fixes, thats why I went to use this beta
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello!

Did you checked what used so much battery in battery stats ?

This reports confuses me because except the big number, I can't get any useful information of it without more details.

Did you changed firmware at the same time, did you install new programs.. etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, exactly, the beta2 will be more fool-proof.

It seems like a high % don't read the documentation, even if the whole documentation consists of 1 line of text ! ^^

That's the way it is :D But my goal is to make an unbreakable software so I have no problem with that.

Beta2 will also contain the beginning of a bigger work on the screen brightness & color calibration and series of improvements that will require a ton of work to get right ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
This is because you didn't disable-lagfix before installing another firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeidRider:
Hi Curio

As I stated, yes, I went from JFB to JM6, but only after checking for any negative comments on battery-life with that (battery-life is what I value most ;-).

I checked the battery-stats, and most of the juice is going into "Cell Standby", but I am only on 2G and have excellent reception (always full).

So, no offense intended, I'm not sure it's really the fix that's causing this, but nonetheless there are a number of similar reports...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ok thanks for the info !

JFB and JM6 have different baseband software = the operating system of the seperate computer included in the phone who deals with the whole radio thing.

I suggest you to revert the "MODEM" part with odin to your previous JFB. You can probably get a JM6 + JFB mixed configuration working.

Waiting for your feedback ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
Hi can confirm that: I just checked once more, and "cell standby" is (just after display) the major responsible of draining. Btw, I read about "cell stanby" values on other devices over 30%, giving nice battery durations.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeidRider:
I just flashed Baseband I9000XXJF5 alongside my ECLAIR.XFJM6 Build, seems to work.

I'll let you know about battery-consumption.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Allright, we'll see if the problem is the baseband or kernel-baseband interaction (or simply the android firmware JM6)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gangstachew:
I think the cause of battery drain is the inaccurate Battery Stats, it might happen due to flashing the phone. I think everyone should reset their battery stats then only test the battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikelyon:
I remember on HTC Hero the custom bootloader allows you to reset battery data using the menu.

Is there a similar way on SGS or do we need to delete the batterystats.bin file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jrjunior:
Yup, that was it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ufuuu:
We are waiting for the results impatiently :)

In my personal experience, Androis OS drains the battery fastest, even it only shows 2% in the battery use screen... I rebooted the phone and use advanced task killer to kill the all process. After about 1.5 hours past, there is no 1% battery reduction at all :) (I don't have 3G settings btw, just my sim card is inserted.) cell stanby 52% , phone idle 40% , display 8% . However when I just turn on wifi and browsing net and market for just 10 minutes, It suddenly drains to 73% . 2% battery drain in 10 minutes... And battery usage is cell stanby 46% , phone idle 34% , display 18% , androis os 2%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achio1115:
Am I the only one? I can't wait to see what improvement it'll bring to the "color" =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Sounds good to me :)

But... I'm getting desperate for beta2, so maybe it can wait for beta3? ;):p

EDIT: I was gonna complain about the blacks in some videos, but i've realised it seems to only be on some lower quality videos.. I prob need to fix the contrast or something in the actual vids.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Hi supercurio, I'm happy to see that the work is going at a very good pace :-)

But may I suggest that the lag fix and display improvements be released in separate packages? Because personally, I'm looking forward with great hope for the lag fix you've been working on, but don't really need/want to change any of my display settings at the moment. I'm sure there are other people who feel the seem way, and would be very happy if the lag fix and display tweaks are released in separate packages. Hope you consider this :-)

Thanks again for all the hard work! I haven't tried the limited beta1 (because it was limited), but am looking forward to a public beta release. Will definitely send a beer or two your way if I'm happy with it. Keep up the good work :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
hey ed10000 !

I understand your message but right now this is still the development phase and every time resource used to package several seperate work is lost for the development.

Anyway i'm convinced that once you will see the the real-life result of Voodoo color you won't hesitate to keep it because it's done with the same quality perspective as the lagfix ;)

I will consider this request for the final version of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] catanzaro27:
When do you anticipate it will be done?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] captive:
I was thinking to go to JM7. The "safe" method is to revert lagfix, flash pda part and reapply supercurio firmware, so I don't have to reinstall everything.

I was wondering if the following works too:

1) Flash with odin the pda (no pit, no modem, no csc) part of JM7

2) Let phone reboot to recovery to finish the process

3) Put SGS once more in download mode as it won't boot because of ext4 /data partition

4) Flash sc zImage

5) Reboot once more

Shouldn't it work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arash64a:
lash my i 9000 with jpja and after that root

with CF - Root- JPJPA - v 1 .2 - Busybox - 1 .17. 1 .tar

and Voodoo- 5 - pre 6 - Froyo - GT- I 9000- odin -

pda.tar to fix lag.

Now how can I convert 3 e to 2 e ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuze_freak:
same question here
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Srdjan1982:
Anybody?! :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Its a known issue and is harmless other than looking strange. Should be fixed in the final release. These are previews for testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hi supercurio,

For the benefit of others who had the same problem where the phone gets stuck in a boot loop after the voice "converting data partition to ext 4".

The cause of the problem for me was that I previously rooted my phone using the update.zip method (installs su and busybox and shortcuts). This was somehow conflicting with Voodoo's scripts.

Try installing Voodoo after a clean PDA firmware flash, then root by downloading Superuser and Busybox Installer from the Market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kaskadeur:
Voodoo lag and colorfix

Hello from germany :-)

First words i like to spend for supercurio: Nice work! Your lagfix is by far the most performant "Speedfix" currently available for the samsung galaxy s!! Keep on the good work.

But i have some things to tell about the colorfix.

I bought 2 Samsung galaxy s here in germany (both JM1). I applied the beta 4 lag and colorfix combo on one of them.

After rebooting the colors look very blueish, even more visible when putting both devices side by side.

You wrote, the color Fix currently only changes the colors at 100% Brightness and it adds a low light mode (0%). Both is correct, besides the fact, that the modes between 0 and 100% are now totally blueish.

Is it possible, that samsung allready fixed the color problem with the JM1 Firmware for Europe and after installing your colorfix the colors are resetted to the very cold settings which are discussed on some (maybe older) stock galaxy s phones?

After reflashing the original Firmware JM1 with the KIES "registry hack" both galaxys look the same in all brightness modes, and no blue-touch can be seen.

By the way, i would be happy (like many others i think) if the lagfix for froyo will be seperated from the colorfix.

Hope you can understand all i've written, cause my english could be better :)

Greetings from Germany

Jens
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Some feedback. Voodoo is great but I think the kernel is not as optimized as the stock ones.

Comparing Froyo pre6 with the "stock jpm with voodoo pre4", the stock kernel feels smoother and seems to have better battery life.

It'd be great if all the Voodoo features could be implemented as add ons to stock kernels, or if we could find out how Samsung compiles their kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
If i load the contacts there is a minor lag of a second only the firt time i start them up ...Bug maybe???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cheetah2k:
I still get the occasional black screen lag when adding shortcuts to the launcher (experienced with both TW and Launcher Pro) on JP6 FW

Other than that, it works good
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mankindtw:
Is that possible in the future Voodoo version to support mount ext4 /system in *.rc? Because a modified ext4 factoryfs.rfs for /system is possible now. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Does the current Voodoo Pre6 include the fix in sharpness filter and ect?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Louieboy242000:
after install of Voodoo Lag Fix

Here's my Feedback after installing the JPM/JP6 installed with Voodoo lag fix

It runs smooth but if you use the TW widgets such as Feeds and Updates Grr... it's really Lag and Slow. Very Annoying I dunno if its the phone or the Touch wiz I tried to use other launcher and it seems it runs fine. So my guess is the Touchwiz interface has a problem. Plus the fact that the phone only uses 304?!?! to run froyo i thought that Froyo will be maximizing the memory. Are they cheating and uses the rest of the memory for caching and for Video memory... NOOB here just my observation...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vertumus:
I just instaled pre6 and its really nice, but i cant download apps from market. Please help

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Toonio:
Market problem here too. Some apps just freeze at "starting download" screen... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karayemis:
Yesterday i had 3 galaxy s phones in my hands, i was going to update them for my friends. I noticed a difference between my screen and the 2 of my friends. There screens are blueish, brighter (more light comes from screen) and the back option buttons give more light (also blueish). I was wondering why my phone is different then those 2. I bought mine somewhere end july. They bought them 3 weeks later then mine.

I use to have voodoo lagfix with color fix on eclair, now i am running voodoo 5 pre6
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
I applied Voodoo Beta 4 with color fix yesterday night right before I sleep. The phone and I was sleeping and untouched for 8 hours 14 minutes. When I woke up, 52% battery left from full. Reason, the phone shows running for 7h 57m.

My battery saving phone became super battery eater. Almost 50% in one night. My ROM is Eclair DXJG4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
I've also been getting a bad battery usage during Idle, I lose about 2% battery life every 1hr and 15mins with voodoo5 pre6.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Thats a Google's problem. The problem has been many days already with many users without Voodoo also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
yes, it wasn't voodoo. Got me sh*t into my pants yesterday, I was flashing froyo and voodoo on sunday, and I though I screwed up something :))

Anyway, now I get Quadrant score 1500+, but for example beautiful widget(weather) lags for some reason, battery is dranining like hell as well, and it's not that snappy as it was on eclair.

Also has 2 strange things happening after installing:

1: whenever I restart the phone, I got a flash of a colored snowy screen(like in TV with no signal, just colored!) for half a second or so. Is it due the Vooodoo color change, or my display is dieing?

2: Whenever I have a program force closing, the phone vibrates once, and than again 3 times quickly. It did the same thing when I bricked my phone, and it stuck after S logo. What could it be?

Is it some new Froyo feature telling me, that the program is not responding?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
1: I have that too.

2: I have had no force closes on my phone yet. Running Voodoo pre6 with 2.2 JPM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
for the market problem try this:

go to settings->applications->

clear data cache for:

-market

-download manager

-google talk

...and try again...

If it doesn't work...try remove installed updates on the market apps (always settings->applications) and reboot the phone.

Worked for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Battery drain seems to be the common problem on a lot of users, w/o voodoo5 my drain is like 1% per 7-8hrs of idle, now its approx 2% per 2hrs of idle
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
there's a real improvement in updating dbdata (or maybe it's cache or both) partition into ext4. if keeping these partitions as rfs, market update will be slow and multiple simultanenous update is not possible.

with ext4 partitions, I can click 'update all', and all updates wil be completed successfully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
my2c with voodoo pre6 + sync ON:

~8hrs idle with data connection and wifi OFF= 0% battery used

~8hrs idle with data connection ON and wifi OFF= 12% battery used

~8hrs idle with WIFI ON= 6% battery used.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
That sounds better than mine.

Tho I've been just testing it for a day or 2.

About market: I've tried all possible solution(cache delete, sd car in-out, etc.), but obviously not working. It's google related problem, not phone.

In the morning I had market, and downloaded quickly a bunch of apps, but after I had my lunch, I don't have again. I bet I'll have again later on! Just like my mate with desire.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
I don't know... I'm browsing on HD dolphin browser via HSDPA, and i was able to eat up 17% battery in 5min. Also I wouldn't say it's quick and responsive. Beautiful widget weather animation lagging, scrolling in Dolphin is slow as well(no flash)... Overally I was more satisfied with 2.1+OCLF. Tho I don't know if it's Froyo related or Voodoo?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
I've flashed the lagfix only kernel. The phone is still not going into sleep. Massive battery drain. I wished I know which app I have is conflicting with Voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
I have voodoo for 2 weeks now. No battery drain! You guys have to find the app which couse this.

Maybe you got NO_LED app, that was problem for me.
