oh any more thing. which version am i suppose to install. I have one of the Vibrants which equal "16005464064" so i can download the vibrant beta? i just read through the 24 pages and i got parnoid the ext2 lag fix would corrupt my data in the long run cause my Vibrant is Hardware locked. SO im going to flash with your lagfix.

sorry if there are too many questions. Im just concerned i dont want my phone bricked. No warranty since i bought off CList.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Hey JAC - where is your git repository hosted - I don't see a link in the header. I'd like to pull your changes into my Captivate kernel. Sorry if I just missed seeing the link to your code repository somewhere.

Thanks,

Try this: When you are going to bed, put the phone in airplane mode, as well as turning off auto update etc... see what THAT does for your battery life.

Sorry for the noob question, what is the colorfix? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tempestrs4:
Again for people that refuse to search or read the thread. Go to www.project-voodoo.org and read about the color fix. It only works on the highest brightness settings and makes the lowest setting even lower.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Not everyone has time to sit around and read an entire thread. Thanks for the link. :) Good day to you too.
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
From what I understand flashing a regular backup will NOT flash the kernal. If you want to go back to stock you must flash a stock kernal, which could be done a couple ways. Maybe this is what you meant but it seemed unclear.

A link to the stock kernal is in this thread someplace.

cant figure out how to put script into init.d

"Download the Overclock script here and make sure you put it in the /system/etc/init.d folder (right click and save with no extension for Windows users)"

total noob here but i cant for the life of me figure out how to put that script into the init.d folder

I tried astro but it wont let me move the file

and setcpu wouldnt work- in "conservative" the scale toggle only went to 500mhz-

can you guys help me? [and yes I searched but found nada]

BTW I started from stock firmware-->bionix 1.3 with KK-->Vibrant OC/UV CWM Recovery

thanks

Ever since I installed the ox/uv kernel, when I use my gps, my phone will occasionally restart, but while the phone is restarting, all the bottom softkeys are lit up.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] tissimo:
I installed the kernel last night and I'm amazed at the difference the voodoo hack makes. I had the sd card ext hack before but a night and day difference.

[Vibrant Android Development] Gusgom:
justanothercrowd This might be a stupid question but does my Vivrant have to be Rooted in order to flash this?... I've had no success rooting this thing it seems like Tmo blocked the recovery boot or something.
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Hmm....Didn't know that. I've seen it misused so much I never really knew which way was right. But now that I do I'll be typing Kernal very intentionality to bother you and confuse the next new guy who comes along. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
If you're hardware locked and can't get recovery with the buttons, word is that TMobile will replace it. It's considered a defect. Personally, I wouldn't fool with kernels and such without the ability to boot with buttons into download mode or recovery.

If you really want to, turn on USB Debugging in settings and use "adb reboot recovery" to get in. But if it screws up, you're bricked. JACs stuff is well tested, but sh#$ happens and it could happen to you.

Update

Ok been playing with this a bit. I normally run with OCv4 with ext4 on SDcard lagfix. it works perfectly. both Voodoo UV/OC and regular (UV/OC with ext4 script lagfix) are less responsive and have a touchy "Double Hap-tic" buzz type feel. much like an ext2 lagfix or an Ondemand scaling governor. call me crazy but it feels over-responsive or starving. I'm wondering if it could be attributed to the voltage? i know all cpu's are a bit different one to the next and i don't expect you to tailor to everyone's needs. although your damn well doing that already IMHO, long story short. is it possible to use a script to change voltages back to OCV4? Thanks a bunch for all you do.
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
bump for being completely for the win, and having a new version out :D
[Vibrant Android Development] tissimo:
Do you have to revert voodoo to stock rfs before flashing the new kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] daobn24:
Can this be flash with voodoo already enabled?

-Bao
[Vibrant Android Development] Viralblack:
Yes, if you are running a voodoo kernel you simply flash over the existing Voodoo kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] BrandonB1218:
Sorry for being off topic, but I can't find the answer anywhere. How do I disable this lag fix? I want to get rid of it since it's not really necessary with this kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
The KERNAL was known as kernel[1] inside of Commodore since the PET days, but in 1980 Robert Russell misspelled the word in his notebooks forming the word kernal. When Commodore technical writers Neil Harris and Andy Finkel collected Russell's notes and used them as the basis for the VIC-20 programmer's manual, the misspelling followed them along and stuck.[2]

According to early Commodore myth, and reported by writer/programmer Jim Butterfield among others, the word KERNAL is an acronym (or maybe more likely, a backronym) standing for Keyboard Entry Read, Network, And Link, which in fact makes good sense considering its role. Berkeley Softworks later used it when naming the core routines of its GUI OS for 8-bit home computers: the GEOS KERNAL.

The (completely different) OS core in the 16/32-bit Commodore Amiga series was called the Amiga ROM Kernel, using the correct spelling of kernel.

Kernel is correct and making a comeback.
[Vibrant Android Development] fragimar:
so... I flashed this and now my phone wont turn on. I get the bootup animation and then a black screen with lit up buttons. i can enter recovery but not download mode.

update: i got into the happy download screen with the yellow triangle and tried flashing a stock firmware with odin but it doesn't get past "modem.bin"

update: i flashed the stock kernel and then the stock firmware and the process completed but it still freezes up at the same point. any help will be greatly appreciated.

update: im an idiot. i found the solution online and while i was flashing with odin i interrupted the process because i noticed a setting was wrong. now the phone wont even power on.

last update (solution!!): I was able to fix it but digging around the forums for a while:

Step One: Get the phone to turn back on. http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7823697&postcount=34

Step Two: Load "Froyo that doesn't brick" and then load stock firmware. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8129898&postcount=1

I hope this helps somebody who has the same problem.

Do I need to rename 1.1 zip to update.zip or can I just load the zip on storage card and use clockmod without changing the name? I currently have voodoo with colorfix. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] animehawaii:
I had to disable voodoo, i flashed Bionix with voodoo then flashed V1.1. Now I have the new kernel but Voodoo is not enabled... My /data partition is still rfs. I did remove /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix. Any one else have this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] deez1234:
I had the same problem and just reflashed the Voodoo Oc/Uv 1.1 Kernel. Worked for me!
[Vibrant Android Development] animehawaii:

Just got my highest Quadrant score running this kernel without Voodoo: 2679. Can't use Voodoo yet, gotta wait for Beta5, using OCLF. Can't wait to try out Voodoo though.
[Vibrant Android Development] silox2000:
Is it possible to do a Nandroid backup with the latest Clockwork Recovery without having to revert back to RFS first(using the 1.0 version of this mod, Colorfix and Voodoo)? The reason I ask is because I believe it was a problem in the past, but I wasn't sure if Clockwork Recovery was updated to address that issue or if it would be a non-issue using the kernel in this mod.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
This is still based off the same beta4 so nothing had changed in respect to voodoo.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Lol, if dude's took a few minutes to search for the answer (Search is on top of this page) then this thread wouldn't take all day to read. Ya dig jive turkey? But to make up for being a jerk-face I might as well help. The colorfix isn't exactly a fix per se; It's more like a brightness adjustment. It allows you to dim the brightness much lower than what's normally possible and it also allows you to crank up the brightness a bit higher.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
That's an added benefit of it. The main purpose of it is to change the color temp of the screen. Currently, the temp is shifted to the cool (blue) side of the spectrum. The fix shifts it to the warm (red) side of the spectrum slightly. The result is a much 'whiter' white.

I tried the colorfix kernel and it's amazing what a small change can do, but as stated in the OP it is only working on 100% brightness and is thus rendered useless IMO.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I noticed the colorfix only at max brightness. Has that been fixed for all settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
No ATM its only available at 100% :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
I was running v1 and then flashed v1.1 and it made my phone freeze a few times...i dont know if its because it needed to be after a fresh install or its buggy

[Vibrant Android Development] Babyface1249:
Please excuse the noobish question, but are these kernels compatible with JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
The JI6 modem is compatible with these at least.
[Vibrant Android Development] Michaelr219:
ok, i looked for the answer...

and i never ran into this before...

but i placed the disable lagfix file in /sdcard/voodoo

and it uninstalled just fine...

but when i remove it,

voodoo reinstalls automatically when trying to boot into recovery!!!!

helpppp!!! :(
[Vibrant Android Development] liavah:
Hey there,

Where to check to be sure that the kernel as installed right?

I flashed it, just want to knwo where I can apply that I installed it propbley,

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Azrael.arach:
You have to leave the disabled voodoo there till you are done flashing everything. Since it appears the kernel starts the voodoo script before you can get into recovery you have to leave voodoo disabled till done flashing anything you were doing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Michaelr219:
thanks, i figured it out... i just reflashed a rom without voodoo installed, then reflashed the rom im working on so that voodoo would "auto" install on first boot... it wont if the disable lagfix is on /sdcard/voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] axi0m:
I vote that whoever spells it "kernal" should be kick-banned from XDA, since they do not deserve a phone this cool.
[Vibrant Android Development] axi0m:
Yes, according to Wikipedia, it's taking the Commodore world by STORM. Better update your spell checkers! ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] pfmartin:
I am having a fairly consistent problem with all version of this kernel on my Vibrant. I use apps like NPR and Google's Listen to listen to radio interviews, etc. Anyhow, if I am listening to a show and the screen goes dark, the phone freezes on my requiring me to reset the phone. This happens also when I use the music player, but less often.

This is consistent and I suppose it has something to do with the OC or UV. Not sure, but wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Do we still get all the added benefits of this kernel without using set cpu? Like the UV and optimizations? I just don't feel the need to overclock.
[Vibrant Android Development] ultra spikey:
Im assuming we need to disable the previous version, then install the newest version?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bronk93:
Is this compatible with JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
I didn't have any luck... had to odin back to JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] 007shinobi:
I kind of asked this in a different thread... but would it be possible to add the tun.ko module to your kernel that would allow openvpn to work?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
sorry if this has been asked before, but for the voodoo kernel, all we need to do is the flash the voodoo version of this kernel, correct? I'm in JAC's other thread and it says to flash a kernel AND the voodoo beta4 file and it's a bit confusing.

Just so i get this straight, here is what i'm reading you do to enable voodoo:

1. Flash the voodoo kernel listed on page one of this thread.

2. You're good to go after a reboot or 2.

3. If i need to do anything flashing related, place the disable lagfix file in the correct folder and reboot to make sure the .data is rfs again.

Is this correct?
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
I used SetCPU to OC to 1200Mhz with scaling set to conservative. After running Quadrant a few times to test stability, the system hangs every time before completing the benchmark. I did not use your overclock script. Does this mean my CPU is simply not capable of OC?
[Vibrant Android Development] bryon13:
To the best of my knowledge, yes.

If you try to flash or ODIN almost ANYTHING else while you have Voodoo installed, you will "brick" (I use this term loosely, as it is EXTREMELY difficult to kill this phone, thanks to ODIN) your phone.

As of this point, the only way I've seen to "unbrick" in that event, you have to ODIN the "doesn't brick" froyo from Eugene. (don't click repartition) THEN, you can ODIN back to stock. Then, and only then, can you install anything you please. (:

As long as you disable Voodoo before you do anything else you should be fine. Before you remove the "disable-lagfix" file, though, make sure you do something that changes the kernel, or it will revert back to Voodoo.

Once you've installed anything that changes the kernel, you can remove the disable file with no worries. (I'm pretty sure all of Eugene's ROMs include a kernel)

EDIT: If I am wrong, then I hope someone will correct me! I hate giving bad technical advice!
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
thank you so very much! Clear up any confusion i had.
[Vibrant Android Development] bryon13:
Did you use the init.d script that enables OC? The newer version has not been overclocked by default. You have to enable it.

Also, (and I know some people are going to be MAD when I say this) most of the benchmarks out there don't really mean ANYTHING. Just because your phone does MATH quickly doesn't mean it will PERFORM quickly. Unless you just want to be the king of the hill on a benchmark leaderboard, it's mostly a useless comparison. Just use your phone for a while. Does it seem speedy? If so, then it's probably pretty speedy. If it feels laggy, then it may be laggy. (:
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Well, in the OP it says that we can either use SetCPU or put that script in the folder. Should I just do both?

I'm not worried about benchmarks, I just ran that to test stability because it stresses the CPU.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chozodia:
I would still make sure to follow any directions carefully making sure voodoo is disabled granted I have not had any major issues with anything on either of my vibrant phones but... that is mostly because I use my experience from bricking my captivate to avoid any horrible things popping up. Granted if you do accidentally brick with voodoo installed you can always do the froyo that does not brick flash followed by stock (with partition enabled) flash and it will take care of any issues. That is if you of course have a phone that is not hardware locked.
[Vibrant Android Development] sheek360:
latest version is definitely not playing nice with JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
You would have to use a ROM like Frankin-Wiz 4 (based off JI6) that has the Kernel support back-ported. I have tested 1.1 with that ROM and it worked fine for me.

Samsung hasnt given us the source to compile kernels that are compatible with the new leaks. Only JFD source.

If you try any custom kernel with any of the stock leaks you will have issues. The ROM has to have backported libs etc to support the custom kernels.

Or are you using a ROM that has back-ported support and running into a different issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] sheek360:
no, im on the stock ji6 rom.

so theres no way to enable voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
What's different

I couldn't tell from the change log what the difference between the original OC UV and this v.1.1 is. What exactly is different? Don't get me wrong, i'll install it anyway and be grateful for it =) I just want to know what to be grateful for ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Significantly lower voltages for the UV, saves a LOT of battery ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
Excellent.
[Vibrant Android Development] bryon13:
In the OP, it also says that in OC isn't enabled by default. This is to make it more compatible.

You need the script to enable OC.

You need SetCPU to OC.

If you want to OC, you need both.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
You only need one or the other...but technically you CAN use both SetCPU and the script without issues. You can OC the Kernel with setCPU just like the script. But you don't NEED both to OC the kernel.

And if you just have setCPU simply check "apply on boot" to have OC to 1.2Ghz on every boot which is what the script would do if applied to the init.d folder.

They are just options as not everyone has setCPU but may want to run the clock freq at 1.2Ghz. :)

Enjoy!
[Vibrant Android Development] richan90:
Thanks for the reply, I think my cpu just can't handle 1.2ghz, but honestly its already plenty fast. Great work jac!
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Any word on Beta 5?
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
Hey JAC,

thanks for the work on 1.1, I'm loving it. This morning I posted on Eugene's Frankin Twiz forum that my phone crashes and turns off while playing music. I was told that is a kernel issue with 1.1. Is that true, or are the Eugene fanboys throwing you under the bus?
[Vibrant Android Development] pfmartin:
I am one of the "fan boys" that you are referring to. My comments were not based on assumptions but on empirical evidence. Eugene's and Bionix's ROMs with Jac's kernel both crash. The very same ROMs with the stock vibrant kernel do not crash.

I already reported this in a previous post to this thread. I hope it can be looked at because this kernel is awesome.

To recreate the error: Run anything that plays music in the background . I can consistently recreate the problem by running NPR or Google's Listen and letting the screen turn off while playing something. The phone runs for a bit, then simply freezes requiring a battery pull. It also happens with the music player, but it is less consistent.

Hope it helps!

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] MTC44:
Bummer. Hopefully this gets addressed for 1.2. Thanks for the info.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
This has been brought to my attention and will be fixed in 1.2 :). The UV from 1.0 to 1.1 is quite a bit so I will find the nice middle ground.

1.0 was already UV'd lower than any other kernel for the Vibrant. 1.1 goes beyond that. EVERYTHING except the music app seems to be able to handle it. I am trying a few things to maximize the UV while keeping the music player working.

You will probably find going back to 1.0 will restore your Music/NPR for the time being. But don't worry this will be taken care of.

EDIT: Okay about 20 mins of testing NPR /Google Listen over 3G and I cant replicate the issue. Are you guys seeing the problem when using Wifi to listen or 3G?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I cannot get this to happen, no matter how hard I try. Do you have SetCPU running? If so, make sure profiles are OFF as said many times over and over.

If you have it set to underclock when screen goes off then it will fail when trying to run a heavy app or any app at all when the screen times out.

I'm running Frankin Twiz Final with this kernel with voodoo with setcpu overclocked to 1200
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I am also having some trouble replicating the issue ATM. I DO not use profiles with setCPU either.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I've been running 1.1 since you released it. Have had Pandora and stock Music players playing for hours on end while on Wifi and 3G/Edge with no problems at all.

SetCPU is at 100 - 1200. Only Profile I have is one to set the clock to 800 when battery<15%.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Now for my issue.

For some reason Voodoo is not flashing with the kernel. I checked 'mount' in Terminal but it says still on rfs. Running 900's quadrant also, so know it is not working. And yes I did flash the right file. I have had this issue, I think, since using Eugene's lagfix in his Frankin Twiz OP. I have flashed many things since then, including 1.0 with voodoo, stock kernel, many different roms, nandroids, etc in between.

So I guess I need to know how to reverse the lagfix in Eugenes thread to start off with. Unless someone has any other ideas???
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
There is a voodoo folder with 3 txt files. Voodoo.txt has this:

2010-10-04 23:05:02 Voodoo: model detected:
2010-10-04 23:05:02 Voodoo: this model is not supported
2010-10-04 23:05:02 Voodoo: running init !

2010-10-04 23:06:31 Voodoo: model detected:
2010-10-04 23:06:31 Voodoo: this model is not supported
2010-10-04 23:06:31 Voodoo: running init !

The two other text files appear to be some sort of attempts.

init-2010-10-04_23-06-31.txt

init-2010-10-04_23-05-02.txt

Just so you know, I deleted the whole voodoo folder before trying to reflash this kernel w/voodoo, in case that was the culprit.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
you might be in the group with the larger NAND. voodoo wont work until beta 5
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I was thinking that too, so I checked it out, and I wasnt, but maybe I was and just got it backwards???? I thought I was just looking for there to be more space, I might have to check out that post again.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
if you ODINed to stock that would remove eugenes lag fix. i was under the impression that is lag fix gets wiped when you flash another of his roms or bionix because they do a complete wipe. but if you odin to stock reroot and flash this with voodoo and its still not enable then u most likely have the larger NAND. hopefully jac releases beta5 soon
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Nope, just checked again, and after the math made sure I was looking at the right number for being able to flash beta4, and it was the same :(

Must be somethin else.
