+1 for that.

I my 2 cents for the discussion:

If I would need to choose between SOLID app getting things done working only on rooted phone, and plain update.zip method. I'll give .apk a try. This will make installation and support of voodoo 90% easier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nickporwal:
You guys needs to chill down. You both are awesome and genius in ur fields. Just try to match your frequency so that we can have some very good apps and fixes ( i dont expect from sammy to give lagfix) that helps SGS work faster than HTC Desire HD :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes of course, it's GPL.

Anyway I'll be glad if you show to your users that it's not the only or required solution to install Voodoo and that it's probably not up-to date.

Proposing the user visiting http://project-voodoo.org/ would be nice.

You must also advert users clearly that your software is not supported by project-voodoo.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
So you DON'T approve?! Well this is going nowhere. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mundano:
That would be nice... But the Wifi Timeout in OCLF 2.0 isn't working with JM8... Apparently it only works with the ROM's that don't need it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I approve your work, but i don't support it.

Concrete example, a user send me a Private Message on XDA and say

"I installed Voodoo using RyanZA's market app and now my phone don't boot anymore"​

I will redirect this user to you, and this will be your responsibility to help (or not) this user.

Are we clear ? ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
[my interpretation]

I think he approves, but he doesnt want it to be the part of Voodoo...

In other words... Its like he wants it to be standalone project build around voodoo.

[/my interpretation]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Sounds like a pretty good reason for me not to bother. :) I might go ahead anyway, but to me it sounds very much like he doesn't approve, and if anybody were to ask him he'd recommend not using the app (because he doesn't approve...) - which kind of makes the hours it would take to make such an app quite a waste.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
You got it.

In other words, I don't want RyanZA to be part of Team Voodoo.

Already tried but it just didn't work. It's disapointing but that's the reality.

Hopefully more and more constructive people are working together on the SGS to make it better, even if they are not as colorful or as omnipresent in the forums.

Some of them : http://project-voodoo.org/about/team-voodoo

To people who feel sad after reading my message. Don't worry project Voodoo don't need RyanZA to be strong. He can work on his own projects and as our technical approach differ by much it's better separated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
This leaves Voodoo-project without .apk for now.

Makes me sad :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Um.. as far as 'tried' goes, I helped test your kernel which seemed to work really well (until I hit the battery issues...) and donated to your paypal. Then I tried to get some info out of you for doing the lagfix without the custom kernel, and you told me it was stupid (probably because it would take away from your kernel? I'm not really sure why it was stupid to try.). After that you pretty much told me to get lost. I'm still very interested in helping with Voodoo in any way, but you're clearly not interested.

As far as the 'stupid to try' NativeEXT2 without a kernel, the method does in fact work (it needs more testing and fixing up still though). Thanks for telling me it was impossible though. :)

I'll probably go ahead with the APK anyway to help people out, and if you want any help with Voodoo, I'd be happy to help you out there too. :) If you'd like to explain why I can't help out with Project Voodoo too, feel free, and I'll try to correct it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nickporwal:
This is going no where.You guys should stop finding each other's errors in way of working.

We need both of you guys to make this community grow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
RyanZA, I'm sorry but if I think that a project is very bad, I won't spend time helping anybody with it.

If you think your project is good, and other don't, you can't blame them because you're not able to do it by yourself. Work on it, learn what's required but please don't badmouth people who refuse to help you.

PS: for the record, i NEVER said that you or your project was stupid. I said exactly, after your insistent questions :

"I won't spend time to help you on a idea that is simply useless !"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
I don't blame you at all. I'm just stating our ENTIRE history, and I'm asking what we need to do to work together. I did work on it, and I am learning, and it's working out very nicely. That's not to say that 5 minutes of your time wouldn't have helped me A LOT. But that's all in the past now.

I want to help you out with Project Voodoo if possible. What do we need to do to make this work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
@RyanZA Sorry but you bugged me too much and too many times already, this won't append.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello Bajo76 !

After reading the complete log, nothing indicates that it's related to Voodoo. Thanks for the report anyway, i'll re-study if i have another similar.

Alright. :)

Does the lagfix ever uninstall itself?

I had applied it last week. My quadrant score went from 780 to 1700's. So I know it was working.

A week passes. Nothing was done to my phone other than a few power-cycles when swapping batteries, and some app installs. But nothing major like flashes or anything like that.

So today I run quadrant, and my score is back down to 700's. WTF?

I ran the lagfix again, and I'm back up to 1800's now.

But why would it suddenly be gone? TIA!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Carkhass:
Yay, the juice of my SGS go away continuously. Was waiting for Froyo, but it seems it will not be here before october...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
No you dont need to.

I doubt if its compatible though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello alexmfreitas!

Nobody we know tested yet (thanks xan for pointing it)

It may not be dangerous to try, if you want to, you're welcome on IRC, we could try this together and tell you how to restore a working phone if it don't.

I think the radio standard may be different. Worth a try :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Nice to have you on IRC.

See you soon alexmfreitas.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
Curio_ to me is a very patient man, at least from all my conversations with him on irc and what not and if he says that you really bug him too much, you must have done something really wrong.. I am not here to stir up anything but standing in the middle here, i would suggest you understand the direction that Curio_ is heading and move in the same direction.

You are a great help, I've seen your work and knows what you can do but in order to be part of a team, you need to follow in the same direction and at least close to the same direction.

Voodoo started off in a custom kernel and we need to keep that, im not sure why users are resilient towards it but custom kernels for other phones have been around for many years. Go search on other forums, the htc phones, n1, you will see so many custom kernels and i would bet any n1 users with custom ROM runs a custom kernel (oc/uv, blah blah features) so your approach to hold them back is somewhat against moving forward. I understand our codes may not be the latest and greatest but it doesnt mean we need the latest and greatest unless current code has some serious deal breaking bugs.

Personally, i think you should continue with the apk thing you want to do and provide support in parallel, join irc and provide your experience and support. i'm saying this if you really want to help but i've no guarantee curio_ will be on the same page as me but i dont see why helping can do any harm if you dont continue to bug him :D.

all these are just my 2 cents worth.

P.S. since you are so good at writing apk, why not you help me with the BLN thing that i've been trying? BLN is a great mod for our community and kernel controls are limited so we need an app to work with kernel. I would like to know if that can be done or not. And if not, why not and is there any workaround?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
As far as I know, the only "bugging" he did was asking curio to share some knowledge (I don't know the technicalities, but I think it was about how he would go about formatting /data to another filesystem directly) with him so he could work on and experiment with other filesystems as well, and publish his findings. I really don't see anything wrong with that. I personally think he has every right to (at least) ask for any information (whether or not the other person would want to provide it is absolutely up to them though), since he shares every bit of his ideas and code related to his projects right from the very beginning (and he was never impolite or anything of that sort with his requests). All he wanted to know was how he could achieve a very specific task, which would enable him to contribute further to the lag issues haunting the SGS phones. I don't really find the "I'm not going to help with ideas I think are not perfect" argument all that valid; after all Ryan didn't ask anyone to test out any of his creations on their phones, or release his work as a part of curio's - all he wanted to do was test it out himself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexmfreitas:

This is a more suitable fix for the battery drain:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786509

You can do whatever you want with your WiFi when using the stock JM8 kernel.

You should flash back your stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zeusalmighty:
Hey all, just wanted to report that I've installed the Voodoo Project beta 4 on Galaxy S GT-i9000 stock, all is well so far, aside from a couple of difficulties!

Advantages:

- Noticeably faster UI

Problems:

- Color temperature "jumps" at 100% brightness

- If I use Quicksettings to disable Mobile data (APN),when I re-enable it, it will not work unless I reboot the phone with mobile data enabled. I'm pretty sure I didn't have this problem before the lagfix.

- Clock alarm is sometimes not activated! This is the most frustrating problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Well the custom kernels are very much an SGS issues. With the N1, when you install a custom kernel without changes, your phone is the same as with a stock kernel. Not the same case with the SGS, at all! So all problems with custom kernels are very pragmatic - I need the battery life/video playing that stock kernels give. I would prefer to be using a custom kernel, but can't. :)

As far as supercurio goes, he says we can't work together, so we can't work together. I can't exactly do anything about that.

BLN sounds cool, but... as far as I know, the device can't go into full sleep mode while the lights are active. That's a total deal breaker for me. I was under the impression that this is a kernel or hardware level required fix. Maybe I'm totally out of touch on this, though - in which case if you could provide a link or pm on what you need an app to help with, give me a shout and I'll try do it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Can't we just ban RyanZA from this thread somehow?

He keeps twisting supercurio's words. Utter waste of space.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexmfreitas:
Yes,

But voodoo instalation doesn't backup my kernel!

I talked to curio and he found the same conclusion. We are searching for this kernel.

And, I Found some information in my registry, maybe help:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\2

DEVCONINFO Key:

MN(GT-I9000B);VER(I9000BVJJG9/I9000BZVVJG6/I9000BVJJG7/I9000BVJJG9);HIDVER(I9000BVJJG9/I9000BZVVJG6/I9000BVJJG7/I9000BVJJG9);PRD(GT-I9000HKBZVV);SN();IMEI(xxx);PN( );CON(AT,MTP,MTP);LOCK(FALSE)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AngelsCharlie:
Just on the battery draining issue:

I had a stock ZSJH1 (Hong Kong), which I flashed to voodoo beta 3, then beta 4, then the lagfix only version of voodoo 3.

Now when I was on voodoo, I experienced significant battery drain issues. I would put my phone on flight mode overnight when I go to bed with wifi and GPS all off. After 7 hours, the battery would go from 100% to around 82%.

By checking battery history, it showed the "Android OS" was spending significant amount of time on partial wake lock. And my phone was running for 42% of the time overnight.

I then flashed the kernel back to stock ZSJH1 yesterday with the help of Frd^ on IRC. And I tried the flight mode again last night. So after sleeping for 7 hours last night, my battery was still at 100%! With the "Android OS" having partial wake lock for only 4 mins and 4 sconds. The total time spent without sleeping was only 12 mins and 49 seconds (3%)!

I'm not too sure exactly what the issue here is, but I think at least in my case the voodoo kernel is causing the battery drain here.

Now I do have some programs running while on flight mode such as LauncherPro, Beautiful Widgets Weather, Latitude, Facebook, Engadget. But the only difference between the 2 tests I did was the kernel flash.

If I can help out with any further testing I am more than happy to do. Though I'm not too familiar with Android/Linux system programing.

P.S. I do have screenshots from battery history for stock ZSJH1 kernel but not from voodoo kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
As far as you know.. well i think you don't know, how could you ^^ you hacked my brain and RyanZA's :D ?

There is nothing wrong with asking me to share knowledge, I do this more that 50% of the day actually :) much more time than coding.

This is a part of why a community builds around project-voodoo, growing FAST!

For instance at this very moment we are 77 people connected on #project-voodoo.

This channel is a place where intense knowledge sharing is done. I spend tons of hours on it and you can ask me almost anytime or ask to more and more very skillful SGS developers and users.

IRC Logs will be very soon publicly available through the website. Knowledge sharing again ;)

And of course, you're welcome (at least if the goal is not trolling about ext2 or calling me Steve Jobs)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you, that's a good quality bug report !

We had a previous similar on IRC, so you confirm the issue.

I'll try to reproduce with the same firmare. The resolution part will be more complex of course.

If your are interested at improving again the bug report and help me track down the bug, the output of "dmesg" will be useful. Thanks !

Thanks a lot for curio_. He spend a lot of time with me, trying to restore my SGS.

After 2 hours, with locked device (Download Mode screen, and no change) he (with chainfire help) resolved my problem with original kernel.

Then, DON'T install voodoo on i9000b.

Other Thing. Is possible to replace the firmware from a provider in another? Because here in brazil, CLARO provider removed (I don't understand why) googles apps (gtalk, gmail...), but VIVO provider NO. Is possible replace CLARO firmware with VIVO firmware????

Regarding your tweet about emailing Samsung Supercurio, I have posted contact information for 2 of the guys involved here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791130

Maybe the right/ fastest path would be to mail Google as well. After all they provide Android and have a responsibility in ensuring it and its derivatives remain Open Source. Google should force manufacturers (who gain significant benefits from Andriod) to keep everything open. Its why we are buying into android.

Rasdeep, is there any difference between your kernel and curio's that would impact this alleged WiFi no sleep issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coasterman927:
So I lag-fixed my Vibrant yesterday, and everything's going great so far. I just have two questions.

1) When you make that "disable lagfix" folder to disable it, does it disable it permanently, where I would have to apply the update.zip again? Or will it be back to lag-fixed when I delete the folder?

2) When an OTA update rolls along and I create the folder and everything to return my data back to RFS, then install the update, Voodoo is totally gone right? Like the kernel changes and all that go poof, and it's basically back to factory settings, yes?

Thanks!

Also, one more thing... I did notice I had a random reboot this morning while listening to music in the car. First my Beautiful Widgets force closed, then a few seconds later it rebooted. It's never happened before, and I'm not sure whether or not to attribute it to Voodoo, but it hasn't happened before that or since. I'm hoping that doesn't become an issue.

about voodoo lagfix beta 4

hi curio,

I am relatively a new user of SGS and lagfix... well i have installed the beta 4 version of your lagfix plus color fix!! My SGS is an international version. Lagfix works superbly. I use touchdown for exchange and before lagfix touchdown failed to sync properly many times.

My problem is with the screen brightness. no matter if i keep it to the lowest or turn the auto brightness on, after sometime it changes back to a brighter screen or the auto brightness feature is turned off (if it was enabled).

I don't know if the color fix is the reason but before the installation, it was ok.

Can you help me please with this??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] amir_rafie:

Love the fix and the Galaxy S is flying but even though I have chosen the lag fix only update as I'm not a fan of the colour fix it still applies the colour fix??

Might disable the lag fix and try again, oh I'm running JM8 too. Also what is the exact procedure for removing lag fix, do I have to reflash another kernel after creating the disable lag fix folder and rebooting?

Question: If I "Restore factory settings" (after disable lagfix)

will it completely uninstall voodoo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludovicianul:
Hi guys,

After reading lots of pages I would like to ask you a few question just to be sure i get things right.

1. I have JM1 currently on my phone. No root, no lag fix applied. Just as i bought it from the store. Can I apply Voodoo lag fix with no problems? I assume the answer is yes, but i'm just checking.

2. Will I loose my warranty? Or the warranty is loosed only if a root the phone?

3. Will my product code be changed? If yes what is the risk of having a "wrong" product code? Will this affect the warranty?

4. If I disable the lag fix i presume the modified kernel will still be there (doh!). How can I return to a "legal" version in a safe manner?

5. If I apply the lag fix, will I be able to upgrade my firmware via Kies (with the lag disabled of course)?

6. Is this the best lag fix you tried? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
1) -> Yes

2) -> Yes - you might well lose warranty. Restoring it to an undetectable state is not so difficult though.

3) -> Not by Voodoo - product code is touched only by firmware flashes

4) -> Yes - modded kernel will still be there and you will need to flash a default firmware with Odin to get back to an "official" version

5) -> If disabled, Kies should work normally

6) -> Yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Not completely - it will still leave curio's custom kernel untouched.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KaliKot:
Ok thanks. Im now second guessing on doing this because of that.

Thinking of selling it for the Desire HD if the price point is close.
