Hello everyone!

I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy S world. I previously owned a Motorola Milestone so I'm not new to Android. The thing is, I'm from Argentina and my Galaxy version is the I9000B. I attempted to install the vodoo lagfix v3, but I found out that it may be only for the international version and now I think I'm in trouble. My back button has transformed into the home button, and I can't use the home button (the hardware one) under the Clockwork Recovery to restore my previous nandroid that didn't have the vodoo fix on it.

The thing is, I want to remove the vodoo fix because of the button transformation and I can't seem to do it. And even if I manage to sort this out, I don't know if it would fix my problem.

If I was with the Milestone I would flash again to the stock firmware, but I can't find this kind of firmware for my Galaxy S.

Can anyone help me to remove the vodoo fix, fix the recovery mode to restore my nandroid backup, tell me how to restore the nandroid without the recovery mode or find a I9000B compatible stock firmware to flash back? I'm kinda desperate right now and running out of ideas :S.

Thanks in advance guys!

In ClockworkMod recovery mode, I (i9000 international) need to use the power button instead of the home button to select options in the menu...

do you know if in Voodoo 5 preview edition for Froyo is included color fix?

I have installede it but my screen is always blue :( is there any option to activate color fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baribalbear:
It looks like patches are not implemented yet for blueish/reddish white color fix and are only implemented for sharpness and video profiles.

sorry for bother you but can you share link to tutorial how turn on cloclwork recovery after flash voodo ? becouse my recovery now is 3e.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hacksome:
Errors for me:-

1) I was on JPO with Hardcore's kernel

2) Lagfix - EXT 4 ALL

3) Disabled all LagFixes

4) Downloaded the Voodoo Snapshot

5) Applied Voodoo through Odin 1.7

6) The conversion process said 'Step1' and 'Step2' TWICE

7) Reboot auto

8) Created a directory on the Sdcard /voodoo directory as 'disable lagfix'

9) Manual Reboot

11) 10 minutes of still-logo screen

12) Then the sound 'Step1' and 'Step2' appeared quickly

13) Then again around 20 minutes of still-logo screen

** I think Voodoo back conversion failed somehow

---------

I've attached the log files for debugging purpose. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jmtast:
Thanks for your answer. I managed to notice that when I entered the clockwork mod. The problem is that my phone does not respond to the home button at all, not even in the normal recovery or the OS, so I can't enter the clockwork mod because I can't "select" apply update.zip, I can only highlight it with the volume keys :(.

Well guys, I managed to find a firmware that works in my phone, an unbranded Argentina one. The only drawback is that in KIES update, instead of saying "this is the latest update" it says "this firmware can't be updated". I don't know if that's literally what it says it is, but anyway, I'll figure that out when the time comes. Thanks for everything!

Anybody know when voodoo 5 final will be realesed officialy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Should work if flashing the whole PDA part don't trigger wipe /dbdata and /data

Never tried yet :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeidRider:
I'll run a full cycle and see what happens then. BTW, I did clear the battery-stats after flashing the JM6 and supercurios fix, so that shouldn't be the problem.

edit: just a little preview what it looks like right now, see attach.

Creating a Disable-lagfix file

Hi

all new to the world of android and i would be nowhere without you guys so big thanks! :)

Sorry to be such a noob but can some one please tell me how you create a disable-lagfix file? As i have only an option create a folder, so can some please help me. Would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Ok, thanks :) Will try it out as long as it doesn't adversely affect battery life :P

In Root Explorer:

Menu -> More -> New File -> disable-lagfix

Or: Create an extension-less file in Windows and copy it over to your phone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trenje:
supercurio, I have one question for you:

Which rom do you use for testing your lagfix kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
Thank you so much, i created a file in note pad and got rid of the extension, now im really sorry to be a pain again but how do i disable the lagfix? do i just reboot my phone.. or is it when i flash to another fw as long as i have the diable-lagfix file it will automatically be done?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Now that you've created the file and put it on /sdcard, just reboot your phone. It might take several minutes to boot up, since the filesystem will be changed to rfs and your data will have to be moved around. DON'T pull out the battery, just wait patiently :)

Once it boots up, you should be back on RFS (but still using the custom kernel you flashed). Just run a Quadrant test and if you score 800-900, it's done and you're ready to flash new firmware :)

P.S. - Do not flash a new firmware directly until you follow this procedure and disable the lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
Hi ed thank you so much finally someone has explained it in simple terms..! Just once last question when i got to flash the voodo supercurio fix i always get an error message from odin saying odin communicator has stopped working.. and then odin closes any idea why this could be?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Glad I could be of help :). Sorry, no clue about that... never seen that error before :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
thanks anyway ed, i think its maybe because i renamed the voodoo file from .tar.bz2 to just .tar
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
or the supercurio file i downloaded possibly could be a corrupt file? because i am always getting the same error, "odin commuincator has stopped working" :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
actually, the cause of the battery drain appears to be wifi. do a *#*#4636#*#* and check the battery history.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vlefevre86:
The .tar.bz2 file contains the sources. The actual kernel is in a .tar file, and is not available to download anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
Can some one please help me! everytime i go to flash the supercurio voodoo fix, i get an "odin communicator has stopped working" error message and odin closes. I downloaded the curiofix however had to change the file extension otherwise odin couldnt find the tar file, the extension was changed from .tar.bz2 to just .tar. can anyone please shed some light in to why i keep getting this error message, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asif316uk:
oh sorry i didnt realise it wasn't available to download, so does that mean the bz2 file i have downloaded on my desktop is not the correct file? sorry to be such a noob

Not to play devil's advocate, but doesn't Apple's HFS+ file system on the iphone is very similar to ext2 (no journaling). Ext3 and ext4 require many more writes, which would slightly attenuate any speed boosts, and could arguably reduce life of the memory, no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Hi, we can argue until the cow comes home and still "this fs is better than that fs" would not change the mindset one bit. Let supercurio finish his project and if anyone wants to discuss the fs, do open a separate thread for that. For now, let's drop this discussion? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeidRider:
I don't think so, check my stats; the problem seems more likely to be "Running", with 80%+. That shouldn't be, should it?

It's automatically enabled.

Running Snapshot ~12h and so far seems very stable and running great. Only one force close and one random vibrate (without telling fc's) I had just after applying, but after last reboot, it has not repeated.

Yeehaa ;) i am looking forward to voodoo (6? / final?)... hopefully, it will be released soon - but intense testing is necessary for sure.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wertez:
Hi everyone :)

I was wondering.. isn't the voodoo lagfix color using too much battery? or it's only a mine impression?

I always keep the brightness low but check this image pls.. is it normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webwude:
For sure... if your display is on, it uses most of the battery. That's a very normal statistic - for indepth analysis you should try *#*#4636#*#* (or SGS Tools)

Greetings,

Does the snapshot includes the soundfix and videofix as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
Any idea how the UV/OC situation is going? If voodoo is going final then I may have to attempt to do both if they don't do it first. Anyone know the amount of voodoo that will be in CM6.1? It's gonna be an exciting month, Launcherpro big update, cyanogen 6.1, Voodoo and Gingerbread. We could be the second wave of devices with Gingerbread because of similarities to Nexus S theoretically...I hope they integrate voodoo into that.

All off topic but allow a man his indulgence. Keep up the good work and undervolt my phone ;)

download the recovery_no_sig_check

then root your phone

then browse to /system/bin and make a backup of the file called "recovery"

then place the downloaded recovery file (unziped) in the same directory and you should be good to go.

whats the difference between the snapshot and pre6 ? which one should i use on my jpo on i9000m

IMEI number issue

Hi,

After installing Voodoo 5 pre6 Froyo my IMEI number is empty. No network connection... Disabling lagfix doesn't help. When I reinstalled the original froyo firmware I get my IMEI number back and get network connection again.

Any idea how to get it work?

Thx.

GPS issues

@supercurio I think the GPS issue is huge on the SGS and it would be great if some sort of GPS improvement could be included in project-voodoo!

Im running JPO + voodoo pre6 and although the GPS locks quite quickly after the froyo update, its still ridiculously inaccurate and navigation apps usually put me on the wrong street. Sometimes more than a 100m away from my actual location!!

I dont know if anyone has found a sure-shot fix for it yet and hope samsung releases some kernel update to make it work like it should !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar_s:
I flashed voodoo via odin, and since then battery didn't last even 10h on average use... besides that, every time i turn on the phone galaxy s boot screen flickers for a second, and gets back to normal. It also happens on battery charging screen when the phone is off. Flickering looks like this i55.tinypic.com/2dm5kaq.jpg

pixelated, coloured... and gets back to normal in a second.

Just... doesn't look right, and it's been bugging me all day.

EDIT: got answer on project voodoo irc that the flickering was normal...

Samsung source code quality

Having read How to reconstruct a binary identical I9000XWJP6 kernel image, and more it seems to me (but I'm not a developer) that with the available Samsung source code there are some strange issues and possibly it results in a different kernel than the one of the official firmware.

So I wonder how project Voodoo handles this. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WarriorZ:
I really curious about this vodoo lagfix.

There are lot of people talking about this great lagfix. but some people said about the bad battery life issue in ext4 filesystem.

I just update the official froyo for south east asian

is this lagfix compatible with my stock rom DXJPA froyo ? (I read in page 1 ,it's compatible with JPA room, which DX only means region right? )

is the battery life issue has been fixed?

sorry for my bad english and too many question :(

He's still tidying it up though so bear this in mind;)

why the latest version doesnt include the color temperature fix? Can We all users that have terrible blueish display problem wait for fix on froyo? Are you working on it? sorry for my english:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar_s:
Is snapshot actually better then pre6? I know it's newer, but it wouldn't be the first time that the latest product is more flawed then the previous one... just want to make sure. :D Also, does it include colour fixes or something like that? I really wouldn't like that, 'cause i'm happy with my screen's colour settings as it is.

Problem when disabling voodoo lagfix

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble with the voodoo lag fix in my Galaxy S.

I have one of the first versions of voodoo lag fix in my phone with android eclair version and everything has been working great.

But now i want to upgrade it to Froyo and for this reazon, i want to disable voodoo lagfix to do it.

The problem is that i can´t disable it and i don´t understant why. I created a folder in my internal sd with the name "Voodoo" and inside this folder i placed a file called "disable lagfix" (tried also a file "disable-lagfix" and a folder "disable lagfix"). Then after this i do a normal reboot and when i use quadrant, it gives me the same 1710 index as before when voodoo was on, so i think voodoo is still working.

Anyone can help me with this one. I there something that i should do ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
To mu surprise I noticed BLN is working in voodoo .. downloaded the bln settings app and turned bln on. In testmode it didn't work. But when I recived an email it di work !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] G.HendriX:
be sure to use the "internal SD card" (not the extranl_sd card) for creating the Voodoo-->disable lagfix folders. The steps you proposed are correct. Good luck...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baribalbear:
Yep me also is waiting for color temperature fix. My display is reddish and especially on low brightness. It would be good if we can change some values AFTER kernel flash. However it looks like these value are written during kernel compilation. And it's also not clear for me what values should be changed. It would be good if supercurio could explane a bit where and in what range should we change the values, because he was going to fix blueish color but I'm have reddish. Or may be someone has already managed to understandthe nature of this process? Thanks...

iv recently updated to the official froyo jpo firmware and have used odin to flash the new voodoo package the performance differance is noticeable however it sometimes still lags espetialy when writing the keyboard repeatedly and often becomes non responsive for anything from 2-10 seconds this was not present prior to installing voodoo. if anyone knows a fix could you please send me a personal message. also supercurio if this is a problem in voodoo perhaps it could be corrected in feuture releases.

Other thing i noticed is that W-LAN turning itself on/off randomly looks like to be solved. ... sup ++1

I found that from Nov 25 snapshot, the mounting of EXT4 has disabled journaling, I think the super smoothness maybe some effect of it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
Some noob questions regarding the snapshot:

1.) Do I just flash this (via odin) over the previous kernel?

2.) Do I need to disable voodoo lagfix first before flashing?

3.) Lastly, how can I tell if the lagfix was disabled properly, ie, the filesystem has been converted back to rfs from ext4?

Thanks in advance.

Mine questions too...

Also, I have already have speedmode k9a 256hz on with its voodoo lagfix, should I remove lagfix before installing this? What about problems? Is this snapshot working well or I should waiting for the final version? Im a fun of voodoo I used it before with eclair and I really want to try it in froyo
