Why this is in the General section???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
new tweets that sounds really good from the man himself!

"Latest enhancements in Voodoo lagfix 5 raise its performance and smoothness very high. Spectacular without need for OC or modified kernels."

"Finally: As smooth and fast as was Voodoo for Eclair if not better. The conversion process is now extremely strong too."

"Launch is planned for today. My last task is to produce updated informing voices."

tweets are 2 minutes apart, tweeted at 15:23-15:26 on GMT +8 - Sunday Nov 28.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
When this comes out, do I just flash this over the existing kernel or do I need to uninstall the old one first by disabling lagfix, then flashing a stock kernel? I'm using the snapshot released 3 days ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doronkdoron:
I really appreciate supercurio's work.

I haven't used voodoo before. I am using now hardcore's kernel with ULF, it contains a lagfix that uses EXT 4.

Is there a real difference in performance between ULF and supercurio's voodoo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
If its like voodoo on eclair as master says yes my friend there is! I'm currently use same set up as you, and on eclair I had voodoo...

Sent from GALAXY!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doronkdoron:
Thank you, I hope that there will be a different ;)

If I install the voodoo kernel, will I loose my 341MB RAM support that I currently have?

And is the voodoo kernel already comes rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DPSK:
ULF, CLF, CWM, EXT i think im getting lost with so many abbreviations.

is there an android dictionary so that newbies can understand what they mean? :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
Does the launch planned for today????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi !

I'm prolongating the today from yesterday :)

And hello topic! Sorry I've been so quite here for a long time. − working hard! −
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
OOOK! I'm refreshing every 5 minutes since yesterday here and in your page...

Can't wait...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rasebo:
I'd also want to know this - I've searched the documentation but I haven't found anything related to voodoo updating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SNap2006:
I'm sure someone will explain us how to update voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Ok testing latest snapshot (#1205) now.

Great with the new custom recovery menu to enable and disable lagfix! It still needs 'Go back' buttons tho!

It would also be nice with more optimization options like: change is the journaling method on each mount partition (and 'nobh' when in writeback mode),commit=5,10,20... etc...

Thanks

JKay
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
If you had voodoo on eclair before can you pls make a comparision? Is it as smooth as it was in eclair?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
I think the smoothness only applies to the lag in TWLauncher... I use LauncherPro Plus...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
Thanks for your answer..ok then no problem for me i also use adw..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
So, did you just flash that over the old kernel or did you have to disable lagfix then revert to stock first?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ppav1776:
Gents,

I have the same problem as many other e-book readers. The SGS screen is way too bright for reading at night (i.e. no ambient light at all - completely dark). Froyo came with a bit lower minimal brightness (could be reached with Brightness Level app), but still way too bright.

Any chance to have only the lower brightness fix (WITHOUT lagfix or color fix) and on Froyo (JP6/JPM) ??

May be there is a workaround or a manual patch procedure exists for rooted phones on Froyo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
I flashed the snapshot from yesterday and after conversion I get a voice when I start up I can't really understand .. Noticed no voodoo folder was made on sd-card so I amde one, after reboot it says : dont-convert-system in the folder .. Is this how it should be ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

It means your /system contains less than 7MB free, and thus /system conversion is automatically cancel and de-activated for future boots.

Ext4 is more advanced than RFS and it uses a bit more data on disk for its structures.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
Thanks for the explanation, but that is very strange .. I flashed the snapshot on a fresh system .. So no apps installed except the the one allready in the dsamsung rom.. Using XWJPA official ..Going to the /systemfolder with rootexplorer it indeed says 6,45 MB free .. How can that be on a newly flashed firmware ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes depends on the system and .pit combination used.

With some, there is just to little space.

However you can join your sdcard/Voodoo/logs folder zipped.

Also, take a look at the voodoo history, you'll see readable details here =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
How can that be ?

A lot of useless apps (and files) in /system :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
:p you are right .. Used titanium backup to wipe als the useless crap installed by the csc , and wiped some useless samsung apps .. Now I have 25 MB in system .. Deleted the no conversion file in the voodoo folder .. rebooted and mrs robot is doing some conversions again !

Thanks foor Voodoo and your great support !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gestoff:
From here

F.A.Q.

* How do I upgrade voodoo “preX” to future releases? As of now, you simply flash the new release over the old one, as the file system is already converted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
Ok, thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if the FAQ was up to date.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gestoff:
I understand. But I just tried to flash the snapshoot on the Voodoo-5-pre6-Froyo, having already lagfix applied without removing the lagfix and everything went well. After the flash, the voice during the reboot run the step 1 and step 2, then the phone starts. This is my experience with the upgrade. I have the firmware Italian RSJP5 deodexed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
Well, I did the flash and nothing happened. I had the snapshot from 3 days ago installed. I checked the log and there seems to be two new lines that are run. Besides that, I didn't see any changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rasebo:
Oops, sorry, I must have missed that part. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arbitrabbit:
So when are we going to see some more Voodoo magic Mr. Curio?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dumb donkey:
can i install voodoo on a stock unrooted JPO firmware through odin3?

Need to get the misses' phone a little quicker, its slow as hell! i'm used to the speeds of cm6.1 on my N1! :p

Thanx in advance! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rytkonen:
Hello,

I had the voodoo lagfix on my eclair. Then I made the disable lagfix folder in the voodoo folder and installed Froyo through Kies. The voodoo folder with the disable lagfix folder is still there. Do I have to do something to those folders when I install the new voodoo through Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
I just deleted voodoo folder and i was ok...JPA firmware;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] plynch:
Can someone give me a link to the latest voodoo snapshot so I can try it out

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] plynch:
Thanks buddy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] plynch:
I am new to Voodoo snapshot. What exactly do I have to do to get Voodoo onto my phone? is it a case of putting my phone into download mode hooking it up to Odin and putting the Voodoo snapshot tar file in the PDA box and click start? Sorry if this question has been answered before just want to be 100% before I do it. Any information is apreciated :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] googlymoogly:
The latest snapshot worked great for me.

Feels like a new phone.

Except one thing... I use WidgetLocker and now, after installing Voodoo, I always have dual lockscreens... WidgetLocker first and then the normal one. I cannot drag down the notification bar in WidgetLocker's lockscreen either.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Edit: Okay, I solved it for now by installing No Lock (turning off the lockscreen in the Location & Security settings section did nothing). Still strange that it worked great before installing Voodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dogans:
Yes, just as you described it :)

When the flash is complete. Your phone will reboot.

Unplug USB and wait for voodoo to do it's magic. A voice will guide tell the progress.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] plynch:
Thanks Again buddy. I am off to work now so I will try it later on:)

Can't wait.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ppav1776:
Anyone?

Sorry, but did I asked something too usual or too complex?

Did no find anything in other available sources (searched the whole weekend) ;-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rafalense:
Hi Supercurio,

Nice to see you back here in i9000 forum

This is only lagfix related I guess. A lot of people is very interesting on your audio improvements. Could you update us how that is going on your thread when possible?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] semlex84:
Hi!

Try the advanced settings in WidgetLocker, there´s an option for rooted phones, a bypass if your rooted that worked for me. Didn´t need No Lock then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonysac:
Im running speedmod k10b right now but i want to try snapshot.

If i disable any lagfix and tweaks from speedmod am i going to be able to flash snapshot without problem or there is something that i should consider?

Just install over it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
When I disable lagfix I think the voice should say: Lagfix is now deactivated. Or maybe : Lagfix is now disabled. Not: The lagfix is not activated anymore.

Minor stuff tho. Great to see that 'back' is available in recovery menu.

Still think that 'back' button should not do submit!

Quadrant score went from 955 to 1570 when enabled. Runs very smooth. XWJPA with LauncherPro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GemPatsu:
Applied RC 1 successfully. It´s working well, and I have to say it´s fast. But since applying RC 1 the notification dropdown menu looks weird. For example the delete Button now is labeld "%-I%P" . And while the Media scanner is running on the Internal Memory card it shows "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" see the screenshots. And when enabling/disabling WIFI from the Notification Menu it says "low Phonememory"on the Wifi Buttion (i wasnt able to make a screenshot of that). Anyone else or am I the only one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rytkonen:
I installed the RC succesfully. Phone is much smoother now compared to OCLF. Thank you Supercurio!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:

just installed this Voodoo 5 stable RC1.. its feel much better than Pre 5.. thx to dev.. i ve been using Voodoo since the first day using my SGS.. really love it..

Good job supercurio
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Hello,

I am running Trasig's Advanced Voodoo 5 Stable RC1 Edition 1.12Ghz OC kernel. Very fast and smooth. Even without lagfix applied

But when I try to apply lagfix / file conversion from recovery, while rebooting a nice female voice tells me "conversion is not possible, fyle system does not exist" and phone starts normally again

Never applied file conversion before.....no previous lagfixes....

And I dont't really need a lagfix my phone is responsive enough, but I would like to try it just for fun...

Why the nice lady says that file system doesnt exist???

And how can a fix it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi betoNL !

I need logs :)

You can zip your sdcard/Voodoo/logs directory and attach it in your post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Hi, supercurio ,

Thank you for the fast reaction.

Here is the log.

Greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Based on the logs, it seems your /system is/was corrupt (unable to call the df command)

You can try 2 things:

- test RC1 from me, but it will probably be the very same thing

- flash a new /system with odin (.tar containing only factoryfs.rfs)

- or maybe easier method:

* make a backup with CWM

* flash a whole firmware with Odin

* flash Voodoo-able kernel again

* return to CWM and restore only data

You'll have all your data back with a non-corrupt /system !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Was afraid of that but.....

What the heck, say no to corruption!;)

Flashing now....

Oops getting message at the end:

Update media please wait

E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

(invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount DBDATA

Applied data/factory/cache reset (thought it was no need after full flash)

Rebooting.....

Flashing voodoo-able kernel

Restoring data only via cwm

Reebooting to see what happens... ALLRIGHT!

Going back back to recovery to apply lagfix.....

Rebooting and

She found it ! And she is very polite,

very long steps...... DONE!

Gonna test it tomorrow, it's laaate now

MERCI very much man! boa noite :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GemPatsu:
Solved it was my mistake. Flashed the voodoo Kernel while using Doc´s JPO v9 Rom with stock Lockscreen and extended Powermenu. On a freshly via Odin installed stock JPO it´s working without any trouble. My bad.

Thanks Supercurio!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beat.kitano:
Ok. It works. :) Thank you Supercurio. ;)

But i have

two issues

:

Anyone? :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
yes you can, then go to recovery mode, and activate the lagfix from there

@supercurio

Thank you very much for your work!! This is by far the best lagfix for froyo i ever had. It was already the best at eclair, and now with rc1 it feels even snappier. And the battery is now better too!

I came from oclf, voodoo pre 6, universal lagfix, now finally this. It's the most stable and fastest kernel i ever had.

Kudos to supercurio. You did it again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elivagar:
@ supercurio!

hi and thanks for your big work....i want to try soon the new voodoo but I'm worred about the "life " of the memory (I mean the physical chip) on SGS.

I'm reading a lot about journaling FS, now i have the OCLF by Ryanza and goes very good.So, is the new voodoo lagfix a "stressing" fix for our phone in your opionion?Are the performance going down after time due to defragmentation?

I'm worried about the battery but first of all I dont want to stress the file system and memory with lot of write/read.....

thank you very much (for my noob question)

regards!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arj03:
Update failed because I don't have enought space. The voices are very nice :-) How do I get more space? The internal sd has 5g available and external has the same.

I guess after I reclaim the same I simply remove the dont-convert-system file from /Voodoo?

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, I just noticed something that the snapshot version is newer compared to the RC-1 on this section of the website:http://project-voodoo.org/downloads/?C=M;O=A

Is the snapshot version better compared to the RC-1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Hello again super c !

Thank's again for helping me fight corruption...it's always a good cause ;)

I Finnaly took some time to read the Project Voodoo site and trasig's but as new to this as I am, I am a bit confused:

There are 3 projects: lagfix, color and sound improvements. But I could not find a package including all improvements.

For instance there is 1 package englobing lagfix and color improvements such as:

But no sound. My guess is that the idea is to keep other improvements like sound improvement, as optional ?

Other questions if I may :o:

As you noticed, I am using trasig's Advanced Voodoo 5 Stable RC1 Edition v1.0 kernel (great btw), with a built-in voodoo edition of CWM. When I go into recovery and the voodoo dir, I see options such as: enable/disable lagfix and allow/disallow file conversation....

Is it a kind of double-check? Or there are 2 types of lagfix?

Is there a guide somewhere (for dummies) ?

And LAST question :eek: :

Is it possible that all voodoo improvements like "color" and specially "sound" are already pre-implemented on trasig's kernel?

I do think so, cause sound is different now! Even FM radio sound feels a bit different! Or the word "voodoo" generates placebo effects?

Thanks again for your time and all improvements...

Shall I treat you on a dutch or brazilian beer ??

Seems like the error msg was just about /system. Lag fix was indeed applied and phone is flying again. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ya, if /system is full you'll need to make space for before installing new things.

Can you tell more about titanium backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

Never tested yet, you tell me ;)

If it's a recent Froyo version, like not a 2monts old leak it should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I think :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Voodoo use a lot less disk during conversion than OCLF.

During conversion, a compressed temporary archive is created with used about 70% of the original size.

Than restored back on its original partition.

OCLF creates an empty file of more than 1GB for the loop, and after that copy files in an uncompressed form.

All the I/O done during OCLF installation match usage of months of your phone, or dozens or hundread of years if you compare just the journal overhead compared to ext2.

If you ask me, Voodoo is on another planet of efficient about flash memory wear.

If it can reassure you I'm converting all day long since about a month, during the developmemnt and my flash memories are fine ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
If there is not enough space on /system (less than 7MB) /system conversion is cancelled and the option "don't convert system" is recorded.

This way on future boot /system conversion won't be triggered anymore.

If you really want to convert /system as Ext4, you'll need to make space on it (like deleting unused apk) and disable the "disallow system conversion" option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi !

If you're curious about the snapshot, you'll discover the changes reading the git commits, publicated here:

https://github.com/project-voodoo/lagfix/commits/dev

Of course, using a snapshot is reserved to advanced users or developers, because it can be broken anytime.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ya i didn't had time to update the documentation or the website yet, i'll do that with the stable version.

Voodoo sound is not finished nor stable, this is why it's not activated.

Currently the only modification is the sharpness setting change (no more over-sharpening and halos around text)
