Awesome work. Getting 1700's in Quadrant now, which is lower, but actual performance is better. It slows at "database writes" in Quadrant just like every Android phone. And there is no longer extreme lag when installing items from the market, and no hang ups so far when multi-tasking.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Yeah everything seems faster. This makes the phone feel faster than the 1.2 OC did

Sent from my Fascinate w/voodoo
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
Saturday night almost complete, just waiting for the beer in the fridge to cool a bit more. Then I can enjoy my newly Voodoo'd SF the rest of the weekend.

+100 internets to everyone involved. Flashing as I type, must be JT's wife telling me what step I'm on. LOL
[Fascinate Android Development] magicriggs:
Well I say this because my benchmarks are no where near the scores others are getting. I'm getting about 950 when others are in 1700 range. The boot up was successful, with no errors or anomalies. Just need confirmation.

Edit: never mind user error. Just had to restart my phone. Working great. All my doubts are dismissed and voodoo is flying.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
How disappointing

It is very disappointing that the stock Droid X still beats the samsung Fascinate on almost everything I do, even with the voodoo fix......
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
OP updated with fixed version. Please check edit notes if you installed v0.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
With this and Titanium pro freezing the vzw crap. Nice. Gallery is instant.

good day. From my	voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
JT that is the one that I have installed. But when comparing side by side with stock Droid X..... the fascinate is always behind. =( Even though it scores higher on the quadrant?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
chopper the dog,

BEST AVATAR EVER

cheers
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
This is version 0.2 right now, give it time and it ell speed up. Does this version incorporate overclocking?
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
JT can we flash v0.2 right on top of v0.1?
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
How long does the 0.1 uninstall take? I've been waiting 10 minutes now...
[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:
O

Really? Mine seems faster to me with no overclocking which is wonderful because that means that there is a less chance of ruining my phone.

My quadrant is better than the nexus one with froyo. Maybe the droid x with froyo is faster, but we'll eventually get it as well. I wouldn't say that the droid x is faster just yet.

Jt awesome kernel btw!
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
I guess the froyo difference makes sense.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Its called Froyo, just wait till we get it
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Dang I was too slow :p

Yes thats the likely difference
[Fascinate Android Development] itzjonjon69:
Can someone explain what this whole "color" issue is about? I want to flash the Voodoo kernal but im kinda scared, is it easy to revert back to stock?
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
No, do the touch/create the file to disable it, reboot into rfs, and then apply 0.2.

Color is a different fix, and not in this package. This is only the lagfix.

Yes, it is easy to revert. All you have to do it create a file disable_lagfix in /sdcard/Voodoo and reboot, and you will be back on the original filesystem type.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
its real close though side by side with the droid x (froyo).....so that is good to hear. When froyo hits the SF this thing is going to be blazing.
[Fascinate Android Development] itzjonjon69:
No what i mean about the color is if i flash this, will my color be all fuxzored up and it'll be like a black and white screen? lol
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
How can I tell I now Have v0.2 as oppose to v0.1? any way to tell that on the actual device?
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
No, definitely not.
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
Thought I'd show an advanced breakdown of the quadrant to show better differences...I freaking love voodoo!!!!

great work and thank you all that helped and tested this release!
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
Quickness =) can even see a major difference just on the puzzle unlock piece. LOL, used to be laggy at times.
[Fascinate Android Development] element166:
so how do i uninstall v0.2?
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
create a file disable_lagfix in /sdcard/Voodoo

adb shell touch /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix

adb shell "> /sdcard/Voodoo/disable_lagfix"
[Fascinate Android Development] davewolfs:
Should I be doing an OTA update before installing this?
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
You mean DI01?
[Fascinate Android Development] element166:
wait, what. wtf is adb shell, i flashed v0.1 already on. and i went in astro and made a .zip file named "disable_lagfix" now whats adb shell? sorry, noob here.
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
Don't make a zip... just make a file.

adb is an alternate way of making the file.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
If you already made the file just reboot. It will do the same thing as the first time you booted the voodoo kernal. err..shouldn't be a .zip
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
Shweeeeeet!!!

What stock should have been! Very nice work gentlemen!
[Fascinate Android Development] jbrdr985:
Should my kernel be "2.6.29" now? Just want to make sure I flashed correctly.
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
for everyone who doesnt know how to disable there lag fix, there is an app called voodoo toggle in the market, get it, uncheck voodoo lagfix and then reboot, it will work as all it does is place the file in the correct spot, easy as pie
[Fascinate Android Development] Sithben24:
Awesome, thanks. Ive only between doing the android thing for a month now, but it makes the choice of this over ios that much better. So I know nothing about development but I'm glad to help y'all guys out, just keep the great stuff coming.
[Fascinate Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
Is it going to say "data partition wipe detected" every time I reboot?
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
How do you completely COMPLETELY remove voodoo?

After I uninstalled voodoo, I deleted the sdcard\Voodoo\disable_lagfix

But after that, I rebooted, and it started installing voodoo again!
[Fascinate Android Development] Sir_N:
can i flash any custom roms over voodoo lagfix?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Check this out....
[Fascinate Android Development] Retrokid223:
ughh i did the adb to remove and now im stuck at the samsung logo WTF
[Fascinate Android Development] jbrdr985:
Why are you removing this? I think it's awesome.
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:
i installed the 0.1 version of this just fine, then i added the file to remove it so i could load 0.2, rebooted, (heard the voice saying it was going back to stock)

now i get constant FC and can't get anywhere because of them.

here's what iv'e done so far

1. wipe data/cache

2. used odin to restore system and kernel

3. wiped again after

i'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out where i went wrong! :((((

edit: i removed the sd card after booting into the OS, so far it seems to be FC'ing less....

um, i have 0.0B of internal phone storage?????
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Am I the only one who doesn't know how to create a "file" that's not a folder or zip? I've been trying the adb thing in both the terminal emulator on my phone and the command prompt on my computer and neither worked. It says the directory is non-existent on my computer and it just doesn't do anything when I try it on my phone. I'm an android newbie, so I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out.
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Just leave it alone...mine was at Samsung logo for good 5 minutes...
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
It takes longer to revert than to get voodoo going... BE PATIENT per jt. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
I used Root Explorer...just went to correct location (sdcard/voodoo) and did menu>more>new file and named it disable_lagfix. Then rebooted. The boot took at least 5 minutes. Then all good. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] Disneycast25:
Im getting signature verification failed, any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] Retrokid223:
yea ill let it sit the phone connects to adb on the samsung screen and i heard the boot up sound =/ just gotta wait
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
May be a bad download?
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
I was in the same boat. I did this in note pad and put in the voodoo folder. It takes way longer to undo, just wait. after boot delete file and reboot into recovery.

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] toxa24:
I created the disable_lagfix file in the voodoo folder, and then rebooted. it went through the steps, was at verizon logo for about 5 min, and then the screen just went blank with the soft keys lit up. I pulled my battery several times, tried going into reboot mode, and nothing. stays at verizon logo for several minutes, and after the screen goes black and the soft buttons lit up. What do I do? Anyone?
[Fascinate Android Development] tikimcfee:
Hello fellow fascinate users!

This is actually my first post on these here forms, and I'm doing so from my freshly VooDoo'ed device. I started up and actually felt my jaw drop on how much of a difference this makes! Well done once, twice, and thrice over to everyone who made this possible! My first 4 days with this wonderful device and I've already seen a terrifically lively and active community, and I can't wait to give back and donate whenever I can =)

Here's to the rest of the droid years!
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Thank you so much! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Disneycast25:
I've downloaded it twice already. No idea whats wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
adiliyo

adiliyo why did you not just flash v0.2 on top of v0.1 ............. that worked just fine for me no problems............
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:
because the instructions said not to :(

still have no idea how to get my phone back
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
For those who are trying to uninstall and have been at the Samsung screen for 5 minutes... keep waiting. Be patient.

I waited 15 minutes for mine to uninstall and finally boot up.
[Fascinate Android Development] Retrokid223:
too late im flashing my nandroid from earlier =/
[Fascinate Android Development] HardcorePooka:
Awesome. Working wonderfully. Thank you good sir.
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
your probably going to have to do the reflash through CWM, there is a stick in androidcentral hack/roms forum on how to fix this.......I actually had to do it myself. I would almost bet you are in the same situation i was in before.
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:
you might be my new hero of heros!

i knew i had seen the issue somewhere but couldn't remember where, and in my paniced and frustrated (at myself) state, i didn't think to look there.

i really hope this works :)
[Fascinate Android Development] goldenstorm:
Worked like a charm. If I hadn't read about the voice I would've freaked, lol. Thank you from a former Eris user.
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
I've noticed that my phone takes the normal time to boot up after turning it off. What am I doing wrong now? :confused: Anyone know? Sorry for sounding completely helpless btw. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
It appears that trying to revert to a recent CWM backup brings up the following with adb logcat:

This occurs after a full restore & stock kernel...
[Fascinate Android Development] toxa24:
is there any way to boot into cwm? I need to restore my back up. I can only get in to bootloader, but my phone doesnt start. goes black after verizon logo. please help someone?
[Fascinate Android Development] yoitsbry:
It will work bro...... Just follow instructions step by step and you will be good. Its going to completely take you back to stock.. which means you will lose root and all..... anyways let me know if you have trouble.
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
To go back before any of this happened... can you do the following?

1.) Boot into clockwork recovery

2.) Wipe data/Factory Reset

3.) Restore Nandroid from yesterday?
[Fascinate Android Development] toxa24:
flashed it back to stock, still on verizon logo. hope it works
[Fascinate Android Development] SteveC485:
Is this OK to install through ROM Manager via the install from SD card option there, or do we need to reboot to recovery and do this from there, or does it matter which?
[Fascinate Android Development] CrushD:
So my experience with uninstalling has been abyssmal.

I followed the instructions, placing the file as explained, I reboot let the phone do it's thing, after it says its done and reboots itself I'm left at a black screen, I wait even longer, I notice from time to time my screen will flash for a split second. I am able to catch what it says on a random flash, something about data being corrupted and need to do a factory reset. Phone isn't bricked, it's just stupidly at a black screen and flashes on for a split second to say android cannot continue without a factory reset.

So I factory reset, I've already removed the voodoo so I go ahead and flash back to the stock kernel then flash back an old nandroid. All seems good, so I now reinstall voodoo 0.2, deleting the remove voodoo file so that it installs, the pretty voice comes on and it installs, phone works great, BUT IT WON'T CHARGE. Using Voodoo 0.1 my phone charged fine, now with the Voodoo Kernel 0.2, everytime I plug in the charger it says "Battery Not Connected" and the battery indicator goes wonky. Anybody else experiencing this? Voodoo 0.1 was fine as I said, so dunno if this is the fault of the Voodoo 0.2 kernel or some mistake on my road to recovery.

I've tried battery pulling, and what it did was made it so my phone can charge while it's off, prior to battery pulling it would not charge even if the phone is off, and the indicator would be weird. Now it'll charge when off, but when the phone is on, it still says the no battery LIE.
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
You can install by going through rom manager => reboot into recovery

When you're in recovery

Install from zip by searching for the file in SDcard
[Fascinate Android Development] jspidah:
gahh its been half an hour since i made a disable_lagfix file and put it in the Voodoo folder and rebooted. Got the female voice, too.

Still on Samsung logo. Should I be worried?
[Fascinate Android Development] Protonus:
Guys the female "robot voice" is normal for Voodoo and NOT specific to the Fascinate... my coworkers with Captivate's keep turning voodoo on/off to flash various ROM's at work... keep hearing it all the time.

Hold in both volume buttons while turning on the phone till you're in recovery. Than choose apply update.zip, which if you have a good update.zip in the root of your SD card, will get you into CWM
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
I have read from someone saying the phone may be hot? Pull the battery out and leave it out for like 5 minutes and just see. Mine charges fine. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] burningembers:
In the same boat. Battery pull et. al. isn't fixing the Battery Not Connected message.

However, I do think its still charging because the percentage left keeps going up...

It is just annoying. On the plus side, this lagfix is a noticeable improvement.
[Fascinate Android Development] toxa24:
I do have an original update.zip in the root of my sd card, but it didnt recognized it. I already flashed to stock, now cant connect to google servers to get to market. I guess i'll do it tomorrow. Thanks anyway
[Fascinate Android Development] CrushD:
Hmm, well I finally got it working, battery wasn't hot, and I patiently waited. Wasn't sure what the effect of reflashing the voodoo 0.2 kernel on top itself would do, but after trying it out, the "No battery" issue has gone away, perhaps it'll help you too.
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:
ok, so it kind of worked.

the process will get the phone to stop force closing to where i can use it enough to make calls and stuff.

but it still shows 0.0B of phone storage. my guess is somewhere along the line the phone's internal memory's partition was hosed to where it either doesn't exist (raw) or is partitioned in some crazy way that the phone can't see any of it.

because of that, i can't install anything, and if i put the .02 zip and install it from CW, it doesn't do anything (since there is no partition for it to convert)

looks like i'm going to verizon tomorrow to get a new phone :(

the only thing i noticed that was kind of odd when i was going through the uninstall / upgrade process was that after uninstalling, the phone was weird after boot (applications missing, some applications there but no icon and they were named oddly (ie: com.blahblah.android) i then rebooted to wipe data / cache and got the other voice saying something about data wipe being detected, and after that is when the sh*t hit the fan
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
wipe data from the privacy menu
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:
wow, i never thought that would have fixed it!

the only thing now is i thought the phone had 1.5GB free on a clean install, my phone shows 1.25?

phone still isn't working right, nothing from the market will install and i'm getting the same experience as zbomb5610 when trying to apply .02 (no lady voice and a quick boot)
[Fascinate Android Development] zbomb5610:
how do i know if it is working or not? what difference should be noticed?

I did the first .1 version and I could hear the voices on startup, then i did the disable_lagfix folder and i could hear them again. once it booted up I deleted the voodoo folder completely. then i booted up and installed the voodoo .2 and when that rebooted i didn't hear any voices this time. and it just booted up very quickly and the folder is back on the sd portion of the phone.

I still don't notice any difference and i am not sure what i should notice. should i have heard the voices when I turned the phone back on?
[Fascinate Android Development] burningembers:
Okay, I'll admit, I thought you were just pulling my leg.

But I did it anyway...

...and it worked! No more battery annoyances, Quadrant score high as ever, and overall UI feel is definitely snappier.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] Protonus:
Another Voodoo success! Thanks so much everyone! Got 1604 in Quadrant without killing anything after boot.

Where is the paypal donate link to the fascinate dev team or jt1134?
[Fascinate Android Development] jspidah:
Okay. Definitely worried now. It's been almost an hour and a half since I put a file into the Voodoo folder and rebooted....
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Donate to Voodoo
[Fascinate Android Development] bilbotn:
Just installed.

Much more responsive and no lag at start up.

Original Quad: 869

New score: 1796

Thanks for the hard work!
[Fascinate Android Development] bblanski:
Up and running. Thanks for everyone who got this going. Donation a coming!!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] Protonus:
JT1134: Does the money donated to Project Voodoo using their PayPal Donate link, go to you at all? If not, you should post a donate link too. I just sent a donation to Project Voodoo.

And... for those of you that weren't in chat tonight, well, let's just say you'll be real happy in the AM.

I'm 1,923 points happy :D
[Fascinate Android Development] davewolfs:
Dumb question, but if I install this and for some reason want to get rid of it, how do I revert back?
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
OK I think I got a problem.

I put the file in the sd/voodoo and rebooted.

The female voice gave me the step 1 and step 2 business.

The female voice tells me Data Partition wipe detected and then I got the Galazy S and Verizon Boot Screens but then nothing.

Do I have to bust out odin now?
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
That's weird, when I put the uninstall file in, I waited like 15 minutes, go tthe Galaxy S screen, and Verizon boot, but it soon went to my normal bootup screen...
[Fascinate Android Development] rigormootis:
Install complete no battery issues or anything else. Quadrant scores 1723.

Phone seems very stable and quick and I came from the other lag fix.

YOu guys do nice work, I can't wait to see what it's like with Froyo which according to another web site. They say they have seen leaked documents saying Samsung has tested it and its coming.

So the question is what will we have to do once its released.

Thanks,
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Well I went into odin and did the restore file for the system, kernel and recovery. Upon boot she still tells me Data Partition Wipe Detected and after the VZW screen its all black and stays all black

Im clueless now

The female voice is gone but same thing; pure black screen after VZW logo goes away
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
What if you leave it at that screen? I have had a black screen before for a while then it boots up normal.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
15 minutes = nada
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Well 2 odin restores later and still less than nothing. I cannot figure this out. I think this has to go back as a brick. I cannot understand this one bit.
[Fascinate Android Development] pospower:
flashed stick kernal first!

That's all I did then flashed voodoo and did backup through FM manager. Took like five minutes. Now I had a rooted phone with virtually no bloatware on it. Maybe that helped. Eitherway I'm happy. First quadrant score 1644,

Oops. Meant to say stock not stick kernal
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Well I had to wipe everything to get back in. Lesson learned.
[Fascinate Android Development] tonyb81:
On the link provided it says it doesn't need root, does that apply for the fascinate? The website doesn't really mention the fascinate. Right now my phone is unrooted. Do I need to be rooted/busybox and install CWM as well?
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
Can you still have the custom rom and theme you used without voodoo with this?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Yeah, you need to be rooted and have clockwork mod recovery installed. There is no way flash this unrooted. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Sidewind75:
Ok i went and installed this it and it seem to go fine. However when it boots up everything FCs on me and all i get after closing all the FCs i get a black screen with the notification bar
[Fascinate Android Development] Sgtmack:
So, before I try to remove v1 and install v2, if I screw up can I do a Nanadroid restore? Or will I need to get voodoo removed before I do a restore?

TIA.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mydnightsorrow:
I'm pretty sure that once you make the disable_lagfix file you need to leave it in place until after you install the new version then remove it otherwise you're installing the second version over the old voodoo correct?
[Fascinate Android Development] Sgtmack:
Well, that was easy.

I don't have ADB, so I created a blank file in Notepad, saved as disable_lagfix, it put .txt on the end. So I renamed it without the .txt. Put it in the Voodoo folder on my SD card, and rebooted. I got the voice, and the phone started in a few seconds. I deleted the disable_lagfix file from the SD card, and rebooted, installed the 0.2 zip, a minute later my phone is back up.

Next I'll do a nandroid backup so I can get back to here if I do something stupid later.
[Fascinate Android Development] jason1332:
Sweetness.
[Fascinate Android Development] Terror_1:
Just wanted to give props to the OP.

To anyone that still can't figure out how to remove this ***RTFM***
[Fascinate Android Development] eleazar123:
Can you elaborate more on how you fixed it? I'm in the exact same position right now. I left it for 6 hours, tried wiping data/cache, flashed stock kernel (after hearing the rfs conversion was successful), etc.
