JM5, long press search doesn't work.

It only works if I quicky hold the menu button down right before returning to launcher. For example, if I enter apps drawer, then press the icon to return back to homescreen, right before homescreen appears I hold the menu buttons, then the search works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asgard:
Waiting with interest to see if beta 4 will be without any kind of colour modifications!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludow:
Thank you so much. All cool here now. :) Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danamoult:
I'm having this problem too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] een625:
I'm on JM7, and I can see both internal and external SD card
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Meh, setCPU causes my phone to crash (or go to sleep and not wake up anymore). Guess I'll just have to wait for beta4 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomdot:
Which CPU should be set? I find Autodetect is inconsistent. Giving errors sometimes.

In the documentation it appears that Conservative is needed for Galaxy S to not exhibit hangs and crashes, but I continue to have problems.

For older phones I always set a profile for Screen off speed to something in the 100-200mhz region (thereby saving battery). What has been working for everyone?

Will wait for BETA4 and uninstall SetCPU for the time being.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
I flashed back to beta2 which fixed the cpu issue but kept everything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achio1115:
That's what I did ATM…

The Voodoo lagfix is more smooth than OCLF obviously. But I dont like Voodoo color, it make unnatural color on my SSS. THK
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carlocb:
JM8, same problem: long-press menu doesn't make search!

@kenkiller are you using any custom rom? I'm using docrambone's one...just thought it could easily be a rom issue instead of a kernel's one...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
I have come to grow on the color fix. When going back I notice the cooler screen. The warmer screen the color fix gives is a lot better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Unrealwolf:
JM5, search by holding menu button is available only from homescreen page with search widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
I'm using samset's rom....but it worked fine before the kernel, so I'm guessing it's the kernel somehow.

Of course, if it isn't, please don't scold me supercurio? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bfara83:
Did you run the one-click lagfix previously as well? Trying to find something in common that could be causing this issue.

I am going to try installing I897UCJF6 firmware directly on Odin and try making sure everything is cleared and a repartition is done to see if that helps. Another note is I tried running the Voodoo fix without the External SD card and without installing the firmware again with the External SD card ever being in until the Voodoo fix was ran and still didn't pick up the External SD Card. Currently now the External SD is working after wiping out everything and reinstalling the original firmware (I897UCJF6) using the one-click installer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
I think the colour fix should be separated or at least give us an option not to apply them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pauernet:
love my new JM8+Voodoo combination..

take a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwJPI4MZo8M

thx to the devs

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danamoult:
Yeah I did use ryanza's lag fix before this. In my efforts to try and fix this I managed to corrupt

my external sd card and had to reformat it. I'll try to reinstall it after this and try it again tonight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Might just be something samsung left out of the open source?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
I hope the beta4 will come asap. The battery life sucks on beta3. It bearly last 1 working day... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
Check your cpu it will be running constantly at 1Ghz and that is causing the battery drain. I flashed back to beta2 which kept all the other updates but set the cpu back to normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Toss3:
Supercurio do you think it would be possible to completely replace the default color and sharpness values for every brightness level as the default ones are horrible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carlocb:
Well, that's not bad now, is it? It is a smartphone with 4 inch display after all...the iPhone lasts one day with moderate usage...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
What I mean is that the battery usage has decrease about 50%! That's not normal and not a good thing. My battery use to last about 2 days easily.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] matty___:
lost 6% over the past 7 hours with beta 3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tomolewis:
Any plans for a Froyo version of this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionTC:
Zomg :p arm the cannons and prepare to be bombed :p

No lagfix until froyo source code is out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crazzym:
When Froyo for Galaxy S will be official, yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wx5008:
JM8 + VOODOO 3

CANNOT connnect with the KIES!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludow:
It seems we need hotfix for Voodoo. CPU is maxed out 24/7. I can see burned chips...seriously, if bug is identified, please update the kernel supercurio.

Yes, I want to be quinea pig. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
you can always use setcpu and change the governor to conservative
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gettons:
Unfortunately setCpu makes my mobile randomly shutdown :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
yeah....it goes to sleep and never comes back on until a battery pull. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yup i can confirm tht.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cdmackay:
Does the Voodoo lagfix do anything with /system? Mine is getting very short of space:

# df -h /system

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/block/stl9 275.8M 270.5M 5.3M 98% /system

I didn't check this before applying Voodoo, so it might have been like that anyway. I have around 175 apps installed.

Seems a shame with all this storage lying around to be running out of space in a vital partition?

thanks for any comments...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
Looks like beta4 is available http://project-voodoo.org/downloads/

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
go forth brave man....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Beta4 seems to be a bit better with the lowest brightness level. But need more testing...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
who is game to install beta4?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
Nope, never even tried voodoo-fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragflan:
I thank you for this lagfix. I have been using the Galaxy S for 5 weeks now. Unhappy 5 weeks. I have tried many firmwares, Froyo firmwares too, with different lagfixes. None worked for me when I installed more than 30-40 apps. They all showed high Quadrant scores but real-world usage was HORRIBLE.

I'm currently on JM6 with Voodoo Beta 3, and I can honestly say the phone is incredibly stable and incredibly fast. The phone does get really hot though. I read some previous posts that suggest the CPU governor settings is the cause but other users also say SetCPU has issues as well.

I used to use SetCPU and set to 1000 and 'Performance' on other firmwares to have a more usable phone but it didn't work to reduce the epic lag. Voodoo and JM6 just work for me. Using the International Galaxy S. Can't wait for future versions. GalaxyS is 4th Android handset and I hated it for 5 weeks and now I absolutely love it. Thank you for giving me a reason to enjoy my GalaxyS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pauernet:
does it work now??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwJPI4MZo8M
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Yep. Much better the lowest brightness level. Now will give a donate! ;)

Edit: Just donated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Running beta4 now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
beta 4 is much better :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Just a matter of applying the update over beta3? No extra conversion necessary?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sharky34:
Is it possible to install beta4 over beta3 without UNinstalling?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
At least I did it. No problems and Beta4 is running good. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello cdmackay !

Voodoo is self-contained and don't modify /system at all ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joeyoong:
same questions... apply beta 4 without uninstall beta 2?

i make a voodoo folder on SD Card directory.

i found out fresh flashed rom with voodoo fix give very good responce.

previously i apply on assisting system will feel system lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkcloud7867:
Hey guys , so can I just apply this fix directly over beta 3 or shall I uninstall first ...better safe than sorry :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NetCopAD:
@supercurio: just a quick question:

The change log says "Ext4 partition is now just stronger again."

Do we have to disable/enable previous versions to force reformating the ext4 or this is not needed. In other words, is it OK to apply beta4 on top of (in my case) beta2?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Unrealwolf:
It seems, that Automatic Brightness on beta4 dont use minimum level of brightness at all. Its better than jumping from 0% to 50%, but still not very nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello :)

You can install beta4 directly over any previous version. If you are super cautious or maybe you like the voices :) you can convert back to RFS and then to Ext4, but that's optional.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
How come you say that? It uses on my phone. Now it just needs more darker conditions to be on low. Which is perfect choice in my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
In Auto mode, you'll see the lowest brightness setting only on very dark conditions, like... with no light at all :D

I've tried to find the perfect mode when your own reflection detected by the sensors don't pump up the brightness ;)

You can always use the manual modes to go into low brightness mode of course !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jdrake001:
nice, super smooth! Thanks for the video.:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laggedHero:
OK, gonna jump from beta2 to beta4.

Thx for the NICE work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Unrealwolf:
That is strange, in my case (JM5 firmware, voodoo beta 4 updated from voodoo beta 3) phone dont use minimum settings automatically even if i block sensors with my hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
There is a timer to prevent unexpected fast brightness changes, you'll have to wait 5 to 15s, if you block the appropriate hole :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Thanks for the hard work curio! I would love to try this, but I am happy with the current colours, is there anyway to separate the lagfix from the colour fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes I will build and distribute a "lagfix only" version very soon.

Heard the requests ;)

Because there are some changes about screen and sensors between Galaxy S declinations, it will be the first codebase used to build captivate & vibrants versions !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trenje:
Brightness settings are great now, thanks for your work. :) I would donate but my country lacks paypal support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Thanks man. Love the robolady by the way. Impressive.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
I can say, with beta4, the press menu to search "bug" is no longer there. Holding down menu makes search appear everytime. :D

Not sure if this was a bug, but I'm glad it's gone now. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Unrealwolf:
Nope, i have waited a minute in absolutely dark room with my hands blocking all phone`s holes, and still nothing, minimum brightness is like on attached pic.

But if you are going to release a colorfix-less version of lagfix i am going to use it anyway, because white letters are quite red on my SGS with current fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
That does not show the actual brightness in auto mode. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Oh i'm sorry

Your sensor device may be noisy and never allow detection of lowest brightness levels.

I'll take a look at other similar reports.

Of course you can still use manual mode when you're in bed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
But are you sure it really doesn't change the brightness, cause it shows the same on my phone, but it does change the level in minimum brightness. That usually never shows the actual brightness when it is in auto mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
When I cover the light sensor it goes in to the lowest setting within a few seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
Great can't wait for the lagfix only version... Thanks supercurio :)

Im getting force closes after going to beta4 from 3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
hey nsgtr34, show me the logs in IRC :p

see ya

− finally ! a bug(report) ^^ −
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] iammichel:
After updating to beta 4 thee brightness changed a few times while paying with the phone, but now brightness remains at a low level: I can't change it manually and the phone won't change brightness automatically either...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello, please come on IRC / Freenode network #project-voodoo.

I don't think it's related to Voodoo, but i'm curious about what could be the cause ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doenitz:
Upgraded to beta 4 from beta 3 tonight. For me the brightness never changes at all when in auto-mode. Manual mode works ok though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bfara83:
External SD Captivate

I did a fresh install of the original AT&T firmware of JF6 and Beta 4 of the voodoo fix and still no External SD like I mentioned this morning. When I re-flashed the original firmware, the External SD card works fine. I'm going to try having Windows format the SD card to see what happens after that.

Only other thing I noticed is the orientation doesn't seem to work right after this fix is ran also. For example, if you hold your phone in your hand, the orientation switches to wide screen instead of staying in portrait mode. This worked fine before both Beta 3 and Beta 4 was installed (each time was a fresh install with repartition checked on Odin)

Any suggestions? Anyone else with a Captivate that isn't having these problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yeah looks like it doesn't change because it doesn't change much. but it does...

Do you get the low brightness mod in auto mode when you're in complete darkness?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trenje:
I thought that it would go in low brightness mode, but it doesn't, even in complete darkness.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
hmm it seems like some sensors have different sensitivity.

Which means that a manual adjustment will be required in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Liemannen:
Sorry if this question is asked one milion times, when offical froyo arrives do you have to revert this fix or something or can one just connect to kies and update?

Really awsome fix thx for this and that alsa audio thing you did :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes :

disable lagfix, and then you can update to froyo

Hehe, this alsa thing is an absolute requirement :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
My brightness levels also don't change much. When getting phone outside when it's sunny would almost instantly increase the brightness on the stock kernel. But now it changes after 5-10 seconds or not at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miketwn:
@SUPERCURIO bro just applied the lagfix and can already see the difference. Thanks alot! One question, i get this "bml7-zImage-kernel-backup" file in /sdcard, can i just delete or i have to keep it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes it's a paranoid backup, but it can be deleted if don't plan to flash the original kernel back

Paranoïd because you have one in the internal SD, and one in the external SD (if you have one) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miketwn:
@Supercurio WHY would i want to flash back original kernel when your lagfix works like a charm!!! Anyways, when the new official froyo firmware becomes available, ill disable the fix and flash the new firmware. So no need for the original kernel i guess....... Thanks again bro....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] petzku:
I have encountered a strange problem after installing this voodoo lag-fix. My phone doesnt automaticly connect to 3G or edge network. If i go to wireless settings and and change to GSM/WCDMA (auto), and back to GSM only, the phone finds the network, everything ok. But if i put wifi ON and after use OFF, my phone doesnt find the mobile networks anymore and i need to do the changes all over again.. Any thoughts?

secondly. do i need to make a factory reset after installing the voodoo lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I don't know about this specific issue but i know some very new CSC don't deal well with kernels build from the Samsung sources.

This is obviously a surprising issue but you know, with logs, we can understand anything ;)

I'll suggest IRC;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carlocb:
Just updated from beta3. Got a strange window after flashing with reboot now written in blue. I started and no voices were present. I think it was updated though, because screen brightness auto adjust behaves differently. Now, in the same darkish room is much brighter, not entering low zone (i can switch it on though manually)!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] petzku:
I havent ever used irc and im not gonna start now :)

i'll pm u the log file,,, what log file? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
sorry, this kind of support through forum is just impossible ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] petzku:
Im sorry to hear that..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
irc is very simple to use with lots of How To's out there. Come and join the discussion there is much that can be learned. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
So definately no problem going from beta 1 straight to beta 4??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bajica:
great work on beta4, i love new robot sounds :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Is there a way to revert to the default auto-brightness?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] insty:
Woke up, did a, couple of updates from the market, all fine. Applied lagfix (fresh) then tried to install some apps from the market and now everything is stuck at starting download.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
Does voodoo lagfix make a flashable backup of stock kernel?

And if so, how can we revert to stock using such images?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
I think all you need to do is put zImage into a tar (made with gnu tar) and flash it as PDA in Odin, I will try it and let you know. I could even post the file if you need the JM8 one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bhonka:
sorry I don't have time to get on irc. need to flash my phone to get it working again. the only thing i remember doing was installing eris market fix, and vlc stream & convert just before i ran update.zip (beta4 over 3)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
Very much appreciated, especially the feedback =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Or put it in voodoo's update.zip n resign.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Just extracted the zImage from the JM8 firmware, packed in tar (doesn't actually compress it) and flashed it back as PDA in Odin. Worked fine. Be sure to only select the file as PDA do not tick re-partition or select a .pit file.

The auto brightness is much faster and better (at least on my phone) can't wait for a pure-voodoo-lagfix without anything else.

You can find the JM8 kernel here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mykron:
had a first contact to voodoo with beta 4 a few minutes ago. Updated from a heavily used rom modded JM7. No problems so far, very smooth! thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I have several reports today, from people having no problem with previous lagfixes.

But technically except things "around" like migrations etc beta1 = beta2 = beta3 = beta4.

Yeah, just /data as ext4 :)

So I think tonight Google has some problems with market servers, won't be the first time at all..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
So, one more question and a summary:

1) We obviously need to disable the lagfix first, right?

2) So this flash step completely uninstall VooDoo, right?

If so, i think it should be added to FAQ/Documentation.

Thanks for the image and the shared knowledge!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
1: Yes.

2: Well yes, I don't know if disabling the lag fix leaves any junk around (curio could possibly answer this).

It worked for me, I'm waiting for the pure-voodoo-lagfix without colours/brightness stuff, I like the default auto-brightness better. The colours I only noticed at max brightness, which I never use, it is way too bright.
