[Vibrant Android Development] qwertyuiop74123:
will the kernel version matter on android 2.1 or 2.2

cuz i just flashed my vibrant back to stock 2.1 with JI6 modem using ODIN

so which version should i use?

thanks guys
[Vibrant Android Development] tediberus:
yes it would matter ...... kernel for 2.2 is usually compatible for 2.2 rom builds only
[Vibrant Android Development] csdalporto:
does anyone think this could create a problem?

i flashed the jk6 kernel w/ voodoo in cwm like 4 times before i decided to pick reboot recovery in advanced, it seems to have enabled, now when i boot up my phone it skips boot logos and directly boots up, i'm running a stock jk6 froyo rom by team whiskey
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
To clarify...Nandroid backups can be restored with ext4 partitions without soft bricking anything?
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Of course, it wouldn't be called stable with the ability to auto-destruct ^^
[Vibrant Android Development] csdalporto:
My phone has cwm recovery now, as well as an option in advanced which is reboot recovery, that's how I get into this kernel's menu for lagfix, did I do it properly?
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Sorry if this has been asked before! I did search!

I've tried searching to find if I should also enable the system lagfix within clockwork recovery in addition to the Voodoo lagfix?

My intuition tells me that if the option is in the Voodoo recovery settings then it should be used?

I am not sure if enabling both causes performance issues, or if only one should be enabled?

Thanks.

thank you in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
Just flash a 2.2 rom and then if you want voodoo, flash the proper kernel!
[Vibrant Android Development] poko_loco:
+1. after flashing voodo JL4 over Eugene's Ginger Clone R2 ROM, the external sd card can not be mounted via USB from a machine(interestingly enough it is still visible and useable from within the phone)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Its	a problem with the rom. Try another rom thats newer or a different kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Or you could just flash the file I posted earlier in the thread here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9958701&postcount=496

This will solve your mounting issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] poko_loco:
that fixed the problem. thank you so much!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
this is only for the jl4? can you give me for jl5?
[Vibrant Android Development] poko_loco:
This is my first experience with Voodoo and I must say it lived up to the hype!

So thank you supercurio for your hard work (including the super user friendly packaging)!
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
anyone else get an error in recovery when trying to wipe dalvik-cache? something like cant mount..etc (file exists)
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
That's normal. The partition in question is one that is on your external sdcard if you have apps there. You can still wipe the phone's dalvik-cache.
[Vibrant Android Development] jlaval:
adb push not working

looks like adb push doesnt work anymore, I get permission denied...

sorry if it was answered but search is down.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
so im guessing work will never be done for ji2 or ji6? =(

I'm still in love with Fusion 1.2 rom. Tried the 2.2 roms, but it's just not as fast as 2.1 imo.

please ji2 or ji6 with voodoo!
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
which 2.2 rom are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I checked the JL4 vold against the JL5 and didn't see any differences... none the less, I pulled the vold.stab and vold.conf from JL5 and made a flashable zip for it. Just flash through clockwork like normal and will fix any mounting issues you have with voodoo + JL5 Rom.

Fusion is a 2.1 rom. He is requesting 2.1 kernels JI2 and JI6.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
thanks. it worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
Thanks a lot supercurio, this makes my phone blazing fast!

A side kind-of-related question... Can anyone explain why backlight notifications haven't been ported to Vibrant kernels recently? Is it because I9000 kernels just don't work well on Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Vibrant kernel source is needed to add in BLN.
[Vibrant Android Development] kikbot:
to code bln devs need the source code for the vibrant kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
So only the headers are needed for Voodoo compilation? That means it's a module that's loaded at boot time?

If that's the case, could I (in theory) take the BLN source from an old kernel and compile it as a module for the leaked kernels?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I'm not sure tbh, but you should definitely give it a try and report back! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] zc4life:
Memory

Is there any way possible to have more free memory(ram) in the kernel....eugen had one back in the early days of the 2.2 roms but the battery is real bad in the kernel and I think he discontinued development. Would this be hard to accomplish?
[Vibrant Android Development] ALUOp:
Thanks. It works; the SD card is now mounted correctly as removable drive, but the CD drive is still there.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Need vibrants specific 2.2 kernel source for that. Eugene was using I9k source back then.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Anyone noticed that a lot of people are bricking their phones even if disabling voodoo?

Edit post: okay tried to disable voodoo and it took a long time at the vibrant screen but now.it's fine. I think people are rebooting their phone even if the conversion is not completed.
[Vibrant Android Development] xdaRich1:
Which one do I use if I'm running axura 2.1? Thank you :)
[Vibrant Android Development] GreggoryD502:
By 2.1 do you mean its a 2.1 rom? If so these kernels are strictly for the froyo based 2.2 roms. Now if its a 2.2 rom then you can flash any of them you want. If your unsure of what your running then go to settings and about phone to check.

Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Would you be able to do the JL5 one but with a 1.2 GHZ overclock?

[Vibrant Android Development] cnote74:
Supercurio any way to make the new 5.1 voodoo sound kernels compatiable with the vibrant jl5
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, i believe that's the reason why.

I hope you'll have sources soon !
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Yes like other GT-I9000 kernels built for Vibrants.

- with the same usual issues if it's not solved yet by a freaking genius low level I/O Vibrant developer ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Supercurio

How about supporting bootanimation w/ sounds and as well shutdown w/ sounds on the latest build 5.1 goodness?

can u modify a jl3 kernel for t959d telus?

ive been trying to find a custom jl3 kernel for my telus fascinate t959d but the only 1 released is a cyanogen port which has horrible battery life. full batteries dying in afew hours horrible. i was just wondering if its possible to modify the kernel to include clockwork recovery and maybe voodoo? im willing to risk my new phone to start development on this unique phone
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Just PM'd Supercurio about patching the latest KA5 kernel. Everyone wait patiently..... :D
[Vibrant Android Development] JUSMEJOSE:
whats does kernel do to ur phone?...
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Very probably ! :)

A little help / link to where download the file is welcome ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
KA5 version uploaded :)

− Now let's test
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thanks for the incredibly fast turnaround time Supercurio! Will post results. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Spacejock:
Everything is working as it should. Thanks for the update.

Works great, Quadrant with this modem and Nero V4.1 = 1583
[Vibrant Android Development] manjish:
Im missing my voodoo soundfix badly.....is it because of lack of source?..........everything running nice on nero v 4.1......

Anyone please voodoo soundfix these kernels.....if possible!
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Are we suppose to have the ka5 kernel to flash ka5 + voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
KA5 Voodoo IS the kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Can we flash the ka5 voodoo over nero 4.1?
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, but the T959D source release give some hope, I will investigate this later today :)
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Gee, I sure hope so, since I've already done that. :)

No problems to report however.
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
I flashed the Kernel over Nero 4.1 ... Nothing happened. The About menu says that i am still on JK5. The Voodoo app from the market tells me that i am on a non-voodoo supporting kernel... what do > HELP
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
The ka5 voodoo is not the new voodoo sound kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] samperlmutar:
Here is a backup I made today of the stock 2.2 kernel on my Telus Fascinate SGH-T959D.

I made the backup using "SGS Kernel Flasher" and flashed it on top of Team Whiskey's Nero 4.1 Vibrant Rom. So far it's been amazing - no FC's or lag (even without lagfix) - but obviously I'd love to have Voodoo and Recovery installed.

Please let me know if there's anything else you would need to order to inject Voodoo into this kernel. Thanks man!
[Vibrant Android Development] BrianInMKE:
Question on KA5 flash attempt via Odin

I'm attempting to flash from a JL5 to a KA5 via Odin (using same procedure for flashing JL5 previously). I don't get any errors and Odin says it completes with a green 'Pass!' notification.

But my Vibrant seems to reboot too quickly for a new kernel flash and when I check the info on my phone it says I am still at JL5?...

I did attempt to read through most of this thread and may be doing something stupid; but does anyone have any advice?

Kindest regards.

P.S. I did leave Voodoo lagfix enabled but from what I read that shouldn't be a problem?... or is it?
[Vibrant Android Development] |Logic|:
I am having the same problem flashing KA5 over a JL5 on the newest auxura, I think I am gonna try disabling before I flash it.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
Im trying to flash via cwr and its not enabling either.
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
The point is that i am still at JK5 and not kA5 :(
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Do you mean jl5? And this kernel is not the new voodoo sound kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
If I'm reading this correctly because I'm running a JL4+ voodoo i can just flash the KA5 +voodoo without disabling, question is when it reboots it won't have to go through the whole 5 minutes process, it just boots up? I know it's probably been answered on here, but I just want to make double sure before I go flash it now.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
You are reading correctly. I've flashed one Voodoo-enabled kernel on top of another numerous times now...never a problem. And you will not have to wait the 5+ minutes for Voodoo to enable.

Get this if you don't have it:

[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Thank you, any comments on battery life with the kernel and modem? I like the modem, but i'm getting increased drain running the modem without the kernel, still on the jl4 voodoo. Wondering if they match it will be better. I'm sitting at 6 per hour idle drain with 5 bars 3g. 2-3 idle on JL4. Thinking of flashing the kernel and giving it another go on the JL4 rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Well, as far as batt life goes, hard to say. I've only had KA5 installed for a day, but if it appears as though the drain might be a tad greater than it was with...uh, whatever was on the phone before...JL5 I guess. You'll find that there are tradeoffs with different kernels/modems...some are better for pulling in a signal at the cost of battery life and some better for battery life at the expense of signal strength. Folks in fringe areas of reception might opt for the former and simply charge the phone whenever possible.

Experimentation is the key here...find what works best for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Clicked thanks again, that voodoo reboot app is great. I flashed it, so far so good.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
How will the Ka5 kernal appear on the about phone settings?? Edit: removed additional noob question.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Kernel on 2.2 roms will all read 2.6.32.9. The Baseband is the modem and will not change when flashing kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
Roger that and thank you. You seem to answer a lot of my questions...thanks is headed your way.

Have you gone back to this or are you back to the oc jl5...i really liked that one but my battery REALLY suffered on that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
+2 on this...i have bounced about 4 Kernals in the past 2 days. All without a hitch.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Nothing but voodoo for me. I LOVE OC but the battery drain due to lack of Vibrant source is just too great for me to use it. So I have stuck with voodoo throughout the 2.2 leaks. And you are welcome. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
3 more things.///never mind i opened my eyes
[Vibrant Android Development] SimeonAS89:
So this is my first time dealing with Voodoo and I do have it enabled at the moment as I do have Nero V4.1

One thing I have noticed though (correct me if I'm wrong) is there seems to be no support for Bootanimation.zip, so with that in mind, would it be wise to reflash? And if so which version?

I loved the JK6 modem compared to any other JL* because it gave me the best battery life. So I need something that would be compatible with JK6 (thats if I'm even able to use it with Nero V4.1).
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Pretty sure you can still use a bootanimation.zip, but I'm not positive. I'm 99% sure I had a zip on mine when I was on nero with voodoo. Currently i have a .qmg for a boot. Why not just grab a qmg and use that if thats all thats holding you up, if not I'm sure someone will be along to clarify. I'm on JL4 with the KA5 + voodoo and it's great so far. Was on the jl4 +voodoo up until today for the last week or so, same thing great. Just have the dup picture thing you'll have to fix, but if you have root explorer its as simple as deleting too files and rebooting. It takes a little while to settle in after it converts the system, but once its in and you reboot its nice and fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] SimeonAS89:
Thats actually What I've done. I wanna use the standard Samsung Galaxy S boot image which is .qmg, but for some reason its not letting me use it. I've even placed an empty bootanimation.zip to see if that would work, and so far nothing.

I've completely disabled voodoo so maybe I will try a reflash of the boot image.

edit- fixed my issue. It was the empty bootanimation.zip that was causing the issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] knurdle:
Sorry if it's a dumb question but how do I know if voodoo is enabled and working?

I ODINed the file and everything went okay. It rebooted and the voice said something that I didn't catch. I heard something about not enough space somewhere.

Everything is working, but how do I know if voodoo is enabled or not?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Booted to recovery and it shows it.
[Vibrant Android Development] bce461734:
Hello Everyone,

I need little help. I just flashed the new modem (KA5+Voodoo). Prior to this flashing, I don't have voodoo on my phone. Now, I have voodoo enabled. However, the baseband version on my phone is still T959UVJ5.

Can anyone tell me if I need to download KA5 modem from other thread?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Yes, you need to download the modem, you installed the kernel from here. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] bce461734:
Once again, thanks, Das. :D

This is really a nerve breaking. I'm shaking up and feel hot even though the temperature is only 60 degrees. lolz
[Vibrant Android Development] hanbaoquan15:
Hi Supercurio

Are you gonna make one with Voodoo sound for the Vibrant?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] hazard99:
Mistaken post
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
When is this kernel going to have Voodoo Sound added to it ?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Whenever Samsung decides to bless us with Froyo source. :-) ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
We already have Froyo source, JL5 KA5 etc, all those.

Am i missing somethign ? if so, please explain :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Generic112:
Those are full ROMs. What you need to make huge modifications to the kernel (BLN and other patches) is the source code for the ROM/kernel, which Samsung has yet to release for the Vibrant (2.2)
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
That is not source, that is leaked, compiled ROM's..., go to: http://opensource.samsung.com, you shall see no source for the Vibrant and Froyo...
[Vibrant Android Development] ozmulti:
Thanks for.answers guys.

Ohh :-( ****... can't we use the open source 2.3 kernel for the nexus S after modifying.to be useable with vibrant? A bit farfetched, but had to ask
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
Hi,

Please forgive me for my ignorance. I've recently got a Vibrant and I'm really trying hard to get into flashing, rooting, and eventually developing...but at the moment I've only managed to flash my phone to froyo 2.2. I've searched "froyo" on this thread and I'm not sure I understood 100% if I may flash one of these kernels to my phone or not. To my understanding it should be JL5+Voodoo, right?

Here is my data

model: sgh-t959

firmware: version 2.2

baseband version: t595uvjl5

kernel version: 2.6.32.9

build number: froyo.uvjl5
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Personally I'd recommend the ka5, but use whatever you like. Make sure you most importantly understand voodoo and how to disable it should you need to. I recommend the voodoo toggle reboot app once you have it
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
Thanks for the reply. So, I can install KA5+Voodoo in my phone? I thought I could install only JL5+Voodoo because my baseband version is t595uvjl5.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Doesn't matter..., go for it. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
Many thanks, friend. I'm doing it as we speak :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
Nope, flash the ka5, its better, then flash the ka5 modem, separate link and download. I'm still on the jl4 using it, works great
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks !

Could you tell me the exact version version of the firmware associated ?

I will inject it and start another thread for it (morfic told me it was not compatible - different buttons)
[Vibrant Android Development] samperlmutar:
It's JL3. 2.2 Froyo. I downloaded the Odin files from here.

Is that what you wanted to know? Thanks again for helping out.
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
Crazy thought....could I install the One Click Lag Fix along with the KA5+voodoo kernel? From what I understand voodoo and OCLF work in different ways (OCLF more or less creates virtual memory)

My stock Eclair quadrant benchmark - around 850

My quadrant benchmark with Eclair post-OCLF - around 2250

My stock Froyo quadrant benchmark - around 1000

My quadrant benchmark with Froyo post KA5+voodoo - around 1500

My quadrant benchmark with Froyo post KA5+voodoo+OCLF - ?????

Can this be done?
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Two lagfixes can not be installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] hanbaoquan15:
OCLF is crap now compared to Voodoo, higher score doesn't mean faster performance.
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
Quick question, I might have to flash stock froyo again. Do I have to flash back to stock kernel to do this or something?
[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
No not if you are on froyo and not 2.1, but you need to disable your oclf before you do the voodoo. Its ext4 oclf is ext2. Just because quadrant is faster doesn't mean it is. You should disable that oclf before you flash anything at this point before you get stuck
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
I didn't get to install the OCLF on froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
That's great. I've flashed it to stock froyo with Odin and when the phone restarted it told me:

e:\can't mount /dev/block/stl10

(invalid argument)

e:\copy_dbdata_media:can't mount DBDATA:

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me nu for format and reboot actions.

[Vibrant Android Development] kcp877:
I think you need someone more experienced with odin, but my suggestion is to download the froyo that doesn't brick from the vibrant bible page, get back into download and flash that then do what you want from there. Can you get into recovery? What rom are you trying to run? Seems like you aren't even on a specific rom before you started flashing voodoo kernels

How long is the black screen, it can take a long time to boot sometimes
[Vibrant Android Development] kayroccs:
anyone knows how to just flash the kernel (zimage) alone without voodoo in odin3 thnx
[Vibrant Android Development] rawfa:
If this happens to anyone else who is in the same condition as I was, I've flashed froyo with Odin and then flashed the kernel again. Everything went back to normal (I didn't lose my theme, homescreen config, apps, etc).
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Actually, if you enable Voodoo lagfix when OCLF is enabled, it will work, but the conversion make take a very long time (like 20+ minutes, because of the giant loop files) :D

And you will lose filesystem reliability.
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
That's what's happening when you set the kernel downloaded as "PDA" in Odin.

Note also that it's required not to re-partition.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Flash JFD, or grab the dbdata file there and place it in the tar that you are flashing. Also, make sure to load the 512 pit and tick the box to repartition the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] roccos_van:
Just wanted to chime in here and say thank you in advance - when you have time and get to this, the telus 959D users will be unlocked from the chains of the stock kernel and recovery! Anyways, thank you again...looking forward to enjoying some voodoo and cwm goodness!
