I am currently using voodoo 5 pre6. Can I also install OCLF 2.2 on top of this? Would there be any issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
I don't think it's app related problem, I had the same apps when I was on 2.1. Not sure about OCLF.

I have JPM tho!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shrooms90:
I tried this yesterday just 4 fun. Oclf 2.2 wont install i kept getting the message 'device busy'(no apps installed on sd). I was able to install oclf 1+ but i removed it a few minutes later, cause my phone was so laggy, that it took me 10 sec to open the phonebook. Anyhow i just tried that 4 fun, what other reason would u have to wanna do that, using pre6 the phone already is flying
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android.francis:
I too was just curious but decided not to push through based from your feedback and also the feedbacks from the folks logged in at project voodoo.

And you are right. pre6 made my phone as smooth as butter. I am using JPM/JPM/JPM btw.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
No, I don't have NO_LED. No modification to the behaviour of the phone either. Just stock with some apps that worked fine all these while.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soniboy84:
What Froyo you use? JPM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shrooms90:
Yes
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Nope, nothing really new installed on my phone since I started with JPC.. My only running widget is Beautiful weather.. and nothing else.. its either the firmware thats bad at battery idle or voodoo5 pre6.. I wish they returned the more comprehensive battery usage stats from 2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
So, can i now flash again with the cf-root in odin, to get back the 2e recovery or no ?

Now is the time for that answer, i hope somebody fix that. Or other method for getting 2e recovery back !

problem with beta 4

i have recently installed Voodoo-beta4-GT-I9000-update(lagfix & color) after voodoo beta 3. battery usage is back down to normal but there is a new problem now with Kies. it starts to try to recognize my phone but i just keep waiting and nothing happens.

later, i found that every time i connect to my laptop it is enabling mass storage mode automatically so i tried unmounting my internal and external sd cards in case that was interfering with Kies. the MTP application just kept restarting and of course Kies was unable to recognize the phone.

please help! other than this, voodoo has been great for me.

Edit: I have also found that when I try to connect to Kies, I will then be unable to access anything on the internal or external sd until I restart the phone. I have even tried disabling the lagfix but same problem.

@supercurio:

Have you considered tuning the ext4 options? I recommend setting data=writeback and nobh instead of the default data=ordered.

Basically it reduces writes and improves performance of journaling at a very slight expense of reliability.

One explanation is here:

http://blog.smartlogicsolutions.com...ions-to-improve-ext4-file-system-performance/

I do it by using tune2fs (must be the version that supports ext4):

tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

To verify:

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Then reboot.

The next time it will be mounted automatically with data=writeback.

In addition to that, you can also edit the mount options to include the nobh option.

Battery drain in my case was not so much due to voodoo.

For those with battery drain issues, some things I've learned that might be helpful to consider...

Some updates regarding my experience...

First, I think my battery useage issue was not entirely voodoo related, There was another circumstancial factor I hadn't considered - The first week I was using the phone I was in the city visiting relatives. There was always a strong signal there. When I went back to my more rural location was when I installed Beta4. After some further readings and observations after reverting to my stock kernel, I think the difference was moreso due to the weak signal and the data connection constantly searching 3g and using higher power to compensate. Voodoo did increase the battery drain slightly, but I now believe not significantly.

I didnt realize 1) that the phone would waste so much energy constantly searching data connections when on standby, In my oppinion thats likely an android design flaw. also 2) I didnt realize that being in a strong signal area vs a weak signal aread could have such a dramatic impact on battery drain. It clearly does. Even which office I spend my day in has a noticeable impact, due to signal strength variations.

I have found with disabled data (used "quick settings" app to disable data) I can get several hours for each percent of standby drain, which is dramatically different than 5-10% per hour. I am considering some application to schedule data connection and background syncing more efficiently such as juicedefender (disadvantage is adds lag to phone) or Tasker.

The only other general difference I have seen having reverted to my backup.img kernel is it seems to hit 3g occasionally in this area, where with beta4 installed it seemed to stay on HSDPA. I'll compare this again when I re-try beta4. There is still some minor increase in battery drain with beta4 but not as significatnt as I had thought.

Also - i can report that I flashed back to my bml7 backup.img kernel via odin with no issues whatsoever. It didnt even take 5 seconds and is perfectly restored.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkimmortal:
You have to switch to TwLauncher for Kies
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omarrabbat:
Thanks for your help Dark but yeah, I know that you need to be in twlauncher to get Kies to work. In fact I use launcherpro and when I want to check for new firmware I use home switcher to get back to twlauncher.

By the way, someone was asking about the battery drain, I believe a battery drain bug was in beta 3 which was fixed in beta 4. The cpu was always stuck at 1 ghz which made it faster but drain your battery pretty fast. I noticed that battery drain immediately after installing beta 3, and disappeared after installing beta 4. You can check project-voodoo.org for their change log. Also as the poster mentioned, searching for networks in weak network areas I have noticed drains your battery but I never had it that bad.

Hi Supercurio,

Will you consider the ram fix? I love voodoo color but also want more ram free for the system. 344 /35x ram is great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] btje:
Hi I installed version Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0 Update.zip and all went fine.

I had to do a factory reset for an other problem and heared the robot voice again.

What is is doing then after a reset is everyting back to RFS again?

AN other question. I don's completely understand the version history it the 3.0 the last for eclair and is the rest ment for froyo?

After about a week of voodoo pre6 on stock JPM....I must say that the system has become a bit laggy.

Applications took often long time to open, like before voodoo...

Hi,

I was using voodo0 pre3 with JPM on my 9000m(Canada bell) phone for a week. I all worked fine. But this morning i got some FCs and decided to reboot phone. It got stuck on after Big S flasing screen and did not do anything. I rebooted into recovery (i have 3e) and did wipe and rebooted again, but did not help.

My question is, if i want to flash JH2 firware using ODIN how do i do that.

As i had voodoo installed... can i just put pit and PDA file and do re partitioned .. and flash???

Please help
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Ideally you should disable voodoo before flashing/wiping. While i dont know the idiosyncrasies of the 9000m or the firmware you mention in specific, flashing in Odin with repartition sounds fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ysandhu:
My Question is can i flash other firmware on my already Voodoo installed phone ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ysandhu:
its canada bell GT-I9000m ans is similar to GT-i9000. and UG2 is last stable version available in Canada thru kies.

I read on project-voodoo website that, voodoo needs to be disabled before flashing new firmwares..

so i wanted to confirm if i do repartition. will it work without disabling voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Its what we normally do... the only reason I hesitate about the ROM is that it may not have /data - which also needs to be flashed since it maybe hosed. My suggestion for you would be to get another full ROM (with PDA, phone, csc), flash it with repartition and then go bac to this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Neo-ST:
I'm currently on 2.1.

If I install this lagfix will I have to uninstall it to install official Froyo when it comes out soon ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
You will have to disable it, flash to your stock 2.1 ROM and then try with Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuze_freak:
True, but i created the disable lagfix folder restart and then enable it again.... After that the phone is fast again

Hmm.. I'm having a big problem with WiFi in combination with Voodoo on my JM9.

I suspected that voodoo was accountable for not automaticly connecting to WiFi. The last few weeks i always get an connection failure when i come home to my wifi network. If i then manually connect to the wifi network, all is good. However when the phone goes to sleep or the connection is lost, i always have to connect manually...

This morning i removed voodoo (only the EXT4 filesystem with "disable_lagfix", not the kernel) and wifi is workin perfect again.. Anyone else got this problem?

Also my backlight is jumping from bright or dimmed sometimes..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cheetah2k:
Will the 356Mb visible RAM mod be added to Voodoo??????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] march83:
thought i should just throw this up for posterity:

something borked my phone last night. nfi what, i had android system FC then a few hours later i was updating apps and it locked up and i rebooted and i just got stuck on the S splash screen. logcat told me there were permission problems (probably nothing), but there was a fatal exception or something on system and anyway, it was dead and i decided to factory reset and start from scratch.

none of this has anything to do with voodoo fwiw.

anyway, after the factory reset, the next boot i got the digi-voice and i'm pretty sure it tried to re-instate voodoo. once it booted i couldn't install apps from the market so i couldn't figure out (quickly) to check if voodoo was working. anyway, i added a remove_voodoo folder (or was that remove voodoo???) and rebooted. it seemed to run ok, market was also working again and i installed quadrant which scored 600ish so i was confident voodoo was disabled.

i then loaded up a new rom to flash and tried to boot to clockwork recovery and i just wouldn't work - i got the same error that was described by people trying to boot to clockwork recovery with voodoo enabled. it seems as though, despite voodoo disabled, my factory reset messed something else up wrt voodoo and i could no longer get clockwork going.

solution was to go to download and start from scratch again, but i did spend a fair while trying to restore my existing system to some useful point...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] topshelf95:
I've been having same problem. Started right about the time I began running z4mod first and continued when I started with voodoo. My wifi cuts off every time phone sleeps. Never had this problem before. As a matter of fact, this is pretty much the only problem I've ever had with all the flashing I've done and every Rom I've tried with either z4mod or voodoo had done this. Weird. Anyone know of a fix? p.s. I'm on a Captivate by the way.

Anybody else having problems with the screen not turning off? I'm running JM9+voodoo Beta 4, and I have noticed that the screen does not shut down automatically, it only sets to the lowest level of light. I have energy-saving enabled, but not automatic adjustment of light enabled. I have also noticed that after a reboot the screen-off is working for about a day or so, but then it stops working. Current uptime 61 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shrooms90:
The folder should be named "disable lagfix" (without quotes). U will know when voodoo is disabled, since u will hear the voice at boot telling u that ur file system is being converted back to rfs. So i think this happend cause voodoo was still enabled when u tryed to boot in clockwork recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionTC:
call me stupid but if i want to do a full titanium backup of my user/apps do i first have to convert back to RFS? i.e. can i backup while voodoo is running, i understand that if i then restore i would have to be in EXT4 mode via voodoo.

a little confused...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
You dont have to convert to RFS to do a backup. In fact its MUCH faster on ext4 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] march83:
Yeah, I wasn't sure so i made 2 folders, 1 with the underscore and one without. That, plus the the <700 quadrant score makes me pretty confident voodoo was disabled...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionTC:
So if i backup while using voodoo EXT4, can i only restore while being on the EXT4 file system?

I dont really know the grand the scale of things like this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lalaca:
Titanium saves your backups to your internal SD card (which is another file system). There, the phone's file system means nothing.

Whether you're on RFS or ext4, your Titanium backups will always backup/restore and work as normal. There is nothing to worry about.

Got a nasty crash a few minutes ago.

My SGS froze @ lockscreen, but I switched it off via power button, power menu.

After powering it again, I got :

- Galaxy S

- Reset

- again and again << maybe 4/5 times ?

- voodoo robot girl spoke... step one... step two... convert success... Oo

Ok, partitions wiped, lost all my apps, data...

Any idea ? everything is lost, but I hope it won't happen to others..

Issue when using Voodoo Lagfix (IMEI)

Hi SuperCurio!

I'm using Eclair 2.1 JM8 + Voodoo lagfix b4 for one month now.

Yesterday I flashed a custom Froyo ROM (Darky's Dark Stel ROM) using ROM Manager (disabled lagfix before).

This ROM includes the latest and greates Voodoo lagfix.

After some time I found that my phone was reporting an empty IMEI (using code *#06#).

Today I flashed a freshh JM( ROM using ODIN to see if would fix the issue. It did.

Then I rooted and installed Voodoo beta4 again.

Guess what? IMEI gone again.

I found that disabling the voodoo lagfix the phone reports IMEI ok.

With lagfix I notice a big delay on the Android market to start download an application as well.

Any idea of what could be the issue?

Just keep this info for the records and Voodoo improvements ;-)

By the way my phone is a 8Gb GT-I9000 locked to a portuguese operator.

That's not curio's Voodoo you're using there. And if bind=false, there shouldn't be any legitimate reasons for the conversion to be stuck there. Meaning, something's gone wrong.
