@supercurio,

am now starting to wonder if it is better to have /dbdata converted to ext4 as well. I know you said there's no difference in your testing, but right now, opening email (particularly the non gmail one) takes awhile and I think the mails are stored inside the database.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] epicfailguy2:
Voodoo pre 3 JP6 rooted :

Quadrant Advanced 1.11 (ran with launcher pro in background)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrruin:
For anyone trying to get full root:

Flashing JPM, then flashing Chainfire's root kernel and then flashing Voodoo works very well and gives root to stuff like root explorer and the like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
How come that the N1 cpu speed is so high? Its just snapdragon right or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jurguh87:
Bit confused now doesn't the cf-root provide full root and there will be no problem flashing this on top of everything
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aroy002:
I think that has to do with a specific floating point calculation that snapdragons do very well..and the cpu score is boosted tremendously for it in quadrant. I'm not sure how much it translates to in real-life performance though.

Now that I see someone posted the quadrant advanced scores, the CPU score is definately higher in Froyo, but why is the IO score down to 3200 from eclair's 5000+ (both running voodoo)?

Also the memory and 3d graphics score is lower (part of that is because of my overclocked kernel...but I recall eclair getting a bit higher scores)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Flashing just a kernel will not cause you to lose any data, however since this is a pre-beta release there could be complications when converting the filesystem which could lead to data loss. I flashed it on top of a clean JPM + CF root and the only thing I had to do was reinstall superuser app, as I lost root.

But all my apps and data were still there. It is good to make a backup before you do anything though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rolcom:
Did you lose recovery 2e after flashing the voodoo kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lkrys:
Hello

Yes i have now recovery 3 .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] The3D:
hi guys, would this version work with JPA?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
If you had bothered to check the homepage, and the document linked from there you would've known the answer, and the answer is yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrruin:
I would install and grant SU permissions to apps BEFORE applying voodoo. You will have no data loss but still keep root for those apps. So JPM, CF-Kernel, install apps like root explorer and start them granting SU-rights. When you are done apply voodoo kernel. That worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Now i want to ask one more time can i flash cfroot ontop of voodoo??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rolcom:
Hi and Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Nope. You'll lose ext4 support. If you want to do that, you will have to disable lagfix first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Dannnnzzz now there is no other way to get root ... Without to have disabling lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CazeW:
I'm also experiencing this. It starts to lag after I install somewhere around 40+ apps. I think it's somehow connected to memory as it has gotten slightly better now as I've been testing with autokiller and manually closing apps from the background.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] discophil:
WOW this is the s#*t!! my phone is what is should be, VERY fast now, no lag, its amazingly fast lol.. happy user indeed!

Now just need to get root for it :)

Thanks team voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
What do you mean no other way to get root ?

Even if you haven't rooted your rom with cf root before you applied voodoo, you will still have root because it is integrated in the voodoo kernel .. All you have to do is install superuserapp and busybox, both available from market .. If you download busybox from within titanium , some apps will act as not rooted .. hence : after installing voodoo install superuser app and latest busybox ( downloading it from the market will not yet install it, you have to click on it again after downloading) after that you will have complete root access
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
how is the voodoo for 2.2 compared with the "goodbye rfs" rom made by sztupy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Et3rnal:
Hy,

Did any1 tryed app called "Voodoo lagfix" ? u can find it in applanet :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Well i did that but busybox keeps telling my phone is not rooted so .. rebooted the phone but still no full root acces...

Want to get root acces becuase the phone says to me csc unknown .. Dont know what that means either ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
I came from the zmod Lag Fix prior to Voodoo 5, i can honestly say that the EXT2 is a tiny bit faster, but im here for curio's Color Video Profile fix and sharpness :)

So its an instant win!

Now all i need for the next version is the lowest brightness settings then im set with my Froyo!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Where can i see those settings he said there was a preview where do i have to go in my phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tra33372:
I used pit 512 to flash JPM. My SGS failed to boot up after voodoo flashing. It keep reseting with robo voice.

I just wonder that what 's the pit file the JPM users applied to your device and voodoo 5 works for your SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
okok LOL, i have read every page on this voodoo alien fix, and have almost read the detailed and fine print on Galaxy Super-curio's homepage LOL...

I think im up to speed now... i think ill wait for the final release.

Im pretty sure Ryan is gonna bounce back with sumink special next year :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
Which rom are you using ? I use the unofficial "official" dutch JP6 with the dutch CSC .. Did you also install the superuser app ?

The csc unknown often happens if you have a productcode which isn't the same as the installed csc(c) ..eg your productcode is XEU and you installed with dutch csc you would probably get that error
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Has anyone gotten it to work with this FW

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796987

Like a lot here, I also get stuck after the SGS bootlogo..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
No i used the JPM from Samfirmware...

Btw can is restore the csc problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DSF:
Applied voodoo lag fix for froyo yesterday. I don't feel so much gain in performance.. the main issues are still present (JP6):

- laggy keyboard input with swype (eg: on market, when writing a long post on the browser, etc)

- laggy touch wizz app drawer. if I slide fast between apps pages it start lags. I have 6 pages of apps. Also pinch to zoom out in app drawer it's extremely laggy.

- laggy browser, consumes a lot of RAM and CPU. Try for eg pocketnow.com. Go and watch RAM/CPU usage in Task Manager. (tested with plugins off and on demand)

Hope Samsung solve those bugs :mad: + give us more free RAM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
I think changing color tone in the video settings are more optimized automatically, i think WARM settings is nicer to look at now and makes the color in the videos a bit more vivid :D

All 3 tones are very nice to look at though, have a play and find your preference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
ok but where can i find those settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
Dpends on what your productcode is ....you should flash a csc file which is upported by your productcode ... If you haven't installed a lot of apps , hy don't you install the dutch JP6 version with dutch csc , I can really recommend it .. Speedwise there is no difference between JPM and JP6, JP6 has the advantage that everything is translated , including the date in the lockscreen etc etc ..

open the vieoplayer , play a movie go to settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Ok ok but isd it problem when my csc like this or can i use my phone like every day usage?

Btw where can i find the color settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
When playing a video, hit the MENU button and you will see the Tone Settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
CSC error not a problem for every day usage, for settings see my edit above your post
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Ok then maybe when the final voodoo is out i flash the dutch version...for now i flashed so much ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MPodlesnik:
When i boot the phone, for 1sec the screen is in all colors :) This is maybe a small bug or what. Everything else works fineee!

Thanks a lot !

I rooted it befere with CF-root 1.2V and everythink works fine now! Quadrant is 1586.

Hi,

Same here exept i’m running Tayutama Edition v1.0.0 on my phone I applied the Voodoo-5-pre3-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar with odin just like it was said in the installation guide.

The phone booted all right with the audio progress indication ok. Once the phone booted it was smooth and fast (over 1450 with Quadrant), I tried to run Titanium backup but it needed to have root access so I downloaded busybox and installed it, then the phone went off and now it keeps rebooting in a loop over and over again with the voice saying convert over and over. I tried reflashing the voodoo v5 pre3 kernel tar using odin but it keeps looping.

Anyone knows how to fix this ?

Thanks

Installed the latest preview beta, but everything but Superuser (busybox, autokiller, root explorer) are complaining that I do not have root access.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vlad88:
If i apply voodoo, i lose all my data??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Matchstick:
I seem to be missing root as well even after installing Superuser.

I applied Voodoo directly after applying unrooted JP6 firmware so it it possible that people who are reporting that it works applied Voodoo over a kernel that was already rooted and that's why it's working for them ?

Next step will be to disable EXT4, apply a rooted kernel then reapply Voodoo and see if that works

-- Edit --

As other people have said once I'd applied CF-Root then over-written that kernel with Voodoo then Root app started working properly.

Just remember to disable EXT4 before applying CF-Root and reenable it after applying Voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ralf89:

My device acted really strange this morning -I was listening to music (Doubletwist) and stopped to switch to another app (Audible) when I stared getting Force Closes. I rebooted my phone and then noticed that several of the apps I installed last night were no longer installed (did not show up in the drawer nor the widgets). I tried re-installing the apps and got an error message indicating insufficient space. (Checking the space shows that it does in fact have enough). I had to disable lagfix and revert to RFS before I could re-install the applications and get my phone back to normal. Voodoo is now disabled.

Just got Voodoo beta installed on 2.2 but it didn't help at all, it still takes me 5+ seconds to bring up contacts even though my quadrant score got boosted to 1600ish and it said it was successful... Did i do something wrong? I did a factory reset to JP6, rooted with SuperOneClick, and installed Autokiller before i applied the lagfix.

On 2.1 Voodoo had a huge difference for me.

Stacking lag fixes doesn't nothing except two things:

1: More wear on the NAND.

2: Get higher rates in Quadrant, but not in real life use.

After reading about 50 pages of posts just from the last 2 days, things are starting to get mixed in my head.

Maybe someone with clear mind could make a HOWTO thread explaining the steps to install Vodoo on Froyo starting from different setups (fresh JPM or JP6, other tweaked roms...etc) and how to apply root and all the stuff. That would be nice post for people to ask how to do things, as in my opinion this one should be intended for sharing experience of usage so bugs can be solved. I've reade the same questions like 20 times each, with different anwers each time :rolleyes:

Sorry for this post as it is off-topic itself, but I really believe this thread is becoming a mess...I'll delete it if no one agrees

I'm very tempted to try converting dbdata to ext4 so that I can see database-based apps like email will be faster. does this work?

tar cf /data/dbdata.tar /dbdata

mkfs.ext4 -F -O sparse_super /dev/block/st10
tune2fs -c 100 -i 100d -m 0 /dev/block/st10
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/st10 /dbdata
tar xf /data/dbdata.tar

then modify init.sh in /voodoo/scripts/init.sh

change the line 51 to

mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,check=no $dbdata_partition /dbdata

should work right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vitalij:
Email won't be faster from converting dbdata. However you can make it faster by using loopback partition for /data/data. The problem with email, newsrob etc... are slow fsync. And yes, these apps store their databases in /data/data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kindaichi24:
which kernel to flash? means we must disable lagfix 1st?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vitalij:
Wrong. Try newsrob or stock email, and you'll see that stacking makes these two apps a lot faster.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] justcme:
I'm not trying to start anything, but are you speaking from experience? Isn't that a really big call?

I've had first hand experience (3-4 years) with reiserfs (and resier4, but that's journaled) on my gentoo laptop and would not describe reiserfs as having an "endless list of failures". Perhaps I just got extra lucky with my custom-kernel lockups and oops-I-forgot-to-plug-in-my-charger, but otherwise, I dare say, reiserfs is as capable as ext3/ext2 and has its own set of strengths and weakness. Reliability appears to be on par with what we users should expect a decent filesystem to have, under normal use of course. I think you'll find that resierfs' "long history" of unreliability is just that: history.

It might have faired poorly in terms of reliability during its inception, but it has defeinitely matured over time (like most good OSS projects). I don't see how reiserfs could have been able to get into and remain in the mainline kernel if the crippling issues you speak of persisted. (You make it sound like a disasterous filesystem; if you didn't mean that, then I apologise for my poor interpretation) :)

For example, reiserfs handles lots of small files well, compared to ext2/ext3 - well enough to be recommended as the default filesystem to use for gentoo's portage tree. (For those wondering, portage is a file-intensive package management system; lots of little files sprawled everywhere). Again however, what kind of data an FS houses should determine what characteristics are desired in the choice of a filesystem - as a few users have already pointed out, and which I know you agree with, supercurio. :)

But yes, resierfs is as good as orphaned, like you said.

So what's my point? I'm not attacking you, supercurio. I'm just being cautious with where misinformation can come from. You have said that RyanZA has a tendency to misinform, not with malicious intent, but simply due to lack of knowledge. I respect your views and know you have more knowledge than most here (including myself), but of course, it doesn't mean whatever you say should go. If anything, a bit of discussion and digging of information/truth in this matter (and others) doesn't hurt.

As long as we don't get too emotionally involved. :P

Anyway, top job on voodoo, and keep it up. :B I'm a happy user beta1 tester, apart from "feeling" a so far unexplained battery drain.

EDIT: As an update, I'm currently checking if wiping battery stats is going to do anything for my battery meter or not. Will report back if subjective battery-drain is really subjective or not. :B

EDIT 2: Do correct me if I'm just plain wrong, by the way. :) I'm happy to learn. :B Perhaps my experience is not enough.
