OCLF cheats most of the quadrant disk test, results become irrelevant and unrelated to the how well the device performs, especially on consistency.

Technically OCLF don't "close" file on RFS, which is the slow operation with the current-pre JPU RFS drivers.

Problem are that the data are not really written when they're supposed to and as a result you still can get terrible lags (can't really be called lagfix!) and it's also very easy to break both filesystem and file consistency.

Filesystem, because of inconsistency happening without journal

Files because data sync on disk is not honored at all. Poor SQLite ^^

I'm watching this thread for JI6 (Eclair) support. I'm still running Fusion 1.2... seems to be the most solid Eclair build right now. All the 2.2 **** still has issues even though I loved testing out Eugene's Gingerbread clone... best 2.2 build to me.

BUT.. I would love this Voodoo5 on Fusion 2.1 Eclair :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ljv:
I'm anxiously waiting myself. I've tried a bunch of different ROMS with different modems and I always come back to JI6 with a backported kernel to support voodoo lag fix. I could care less about Q scores. What I care about is what my eyes see and that is my phone definitely, to my eyes, run faster with voodoo.

Supecurio, I'm ready to test again when you're ready :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
Anyone use this with Nero B3 with JL1? I tried OCLF but kind og laggy for me and want to try this. Can someone let me know?
[Vibrant Android Development] manekDC2_:
has anyone flashed this over Anderdroid's JK2 AOSP 1.1???

just wanted to see if anyone tried flashing this over his rom, or if it will work???
[Vibrant Android Development] chronos7:
I have and its been really fast with no lag. Voodoo rocks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
That's the setup I have right now. It works quite well BUT be advised haptic feedback is not currently working.
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks, i updated the first post.

Is that true also with the real JL1 release ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] Joeseph Mother:
Well, since you said don't hesitate to send you other kernels to perform this on, could you try a stock Samsung Intercept kernel? We have the script to backup and convert already, I have managed to extract the initramfs and init.rc from this, and know how to edit it, but I don't have a clue how to repack it. This kernel natively supports ext 2/3, and either one will make me and everyone else stuck using this laggy pos happy (or at least less sad).
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I'm using Team Whiskey's Nero, based on JL1, and as is the haptic feedback works as it should. It's only with the JL1+Voodoo kernel that the haptic goes away.

But, since I am such an fan of Voodoo, I haven't let that stop me from using the kernel. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
So I can just flash either JK6 or JL1 with CWM on Nero Beta3 or do I have to Odin the .tar,first?

edit

Flashed JL1 with CWM and lovin it,including the built in red recovery.

Thanks supercurio.
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
No problem.

I'm working with Lilinsier to improve the repack tools

https://github.com/project-voodoo/kernel_repack_utils

I will add the support for kernels like yours probably tonight ;) I'll test also with your kernel, follow the commits here !
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
But what if you use:

JL1 kernel on JL1 firmware like Samsung intended it

same question for

JL1+Voodoo on JL1 firmware :D
[Vibrant Android Development] manekDC2_:
so you flashed voodoo JK6 over Anderdroid's AOSP JK2 based v1.1?

i grabbed the voodoo 5+JK2 kernel that Supercurio posted a few pages back and flashed it over Anderdroid's JK2 AOSP v1.1 and it's working great.

now getting Anderdroid's JK2 rom to install clean beforehand proved to be quite the task at hand... :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
thanks, will try this right now
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:
Ok someone help me out here. I'm not a noob and I've recovered from many soft bricks. No matter what I do I can't seem to get and stock modded kernel to run corectly. They all seem to have graphics problems. The i9000 ones don't. I've used different roms too. ive odined to jfd several times with no fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Exactly right. I've been trying to track down the exact reason why I couldn't successfully disable voodoo, jk6 version, running macnut 14. Not that I want to disable voodoo, but I like to know what I can or cannot do. Looking at my latest logs after another attempt to disable, it stops and errors at calling fat.format and kills the disable action. That's all due to my own setup, not 100% stock rom, and kernel built for 100% stock. Which is ok for me, cause I know what I'm doing, am great friends with odin, and have been through enough to know I would have to stop short of dropping this thing out a window to really brick it. To those less experienced users, be sure you know all your recovery methods before you play with grown up toys, makes it easier in the long run. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Supercurio, thank you! I've been waiting for a stable froyo compatible vodoo kernel for the vibrant. You made my day, no, my whole week.

Sent from my Vibrant running Macnut R14 with Voodoo and Black Froyo
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I am 99.9% positive that TW is NOT using the JL1 kernel in their Nero Rom. Yes, it is based off the JL1 frameworks and such, but the kernel is in fact their modded JK2 kernel (they modded the init.rc to service /sbin/sombionixinit on boot which calls the scripts in init.d). Haptic feedback is only broken if you use the JL1 kernel, no matter whether it's stock or voodoo. If you ODIN stock JL1 then haptic feedback will not work. However, if you change the kernel to any other 2.2 kernel then haptic feedback works as it should. To my understanding, the only difference between the JL1 kernel and JK6 kernel is the broken haptic feedback. I suppose it's fair to say that TW might be using a modded JK6 kernel, but I don't see how they could "fix" broken haptic feedback without source (and why they would even bother for that matter with two other stock kernels that work just fine).
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
just flash this, and everyone are right no haptic but dang it so fast. Now how can you remove this or disable? Anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Hmm...you might very well be right. I hadn't put much thought into it.

EDIT: as of December 9, Viralblack reported:

"Baseband, Modem, and Kernel are JL1, the build.prop was discovered to be faulted after upload late last night and just wasnt fixed. Will be fixed for release.

Again, JL1 EVERYTHING"

I'll have to keep searching to see it that changed along the line.

EDIT: Okay, as of the latest release of Nero, once again I see Viralblack stating:

"This is a full JL1 build, kernel, and modem. Enjoy"
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Not entirely sure what you're asking there, but I will say that Voodoo has made everything better for my particular Vibrant. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Yes, I read that. I still have my doubts. I am asking around in IRC but seem to be getting *cricket* responses.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Interesting. I'll see if I can track down Viral when I get home tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] manekDC2_:
so can anyone confirm if they got Supercurio's voodoo5+JK6 to flash over Android's AOSP JK2 v1.1???

so far i have only tried the Supercurio voodoo5+JK2 stock and its working flawless...

wondering the performance or should i say battery life with JK6?

anyone.... :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] cjsblues:
Help with soft brick!

I had Nero Beta 3 with Voodoo5 kernel and I flashed Ginger Clone on top... and I've got a brickish sort of situation... can anyone help me out?

I am just trying to get back to Download mode so I can Odin back to stock and start over. I've done a ton of crap to this phone and never been in a place I couldn't get back to Download mode to fix it... I searched around and can't find anyone with a similar issue (I see other bricks but those were solved with getting into Download mode).

Right now if I turn on the phone it fires up the "Vibrant Samsung" white text for a few seconds and then powers off... repeats indefinitely. I've tried to get into recovery and it won't respond...

I've tried the usual Download mode key combinations (VOL -, VOL + while putting in the battery) with no luck... even the "charging" battery status screen only comes up for a second or two... if I yank the battery and put it back in while it is plugged in, it just does the repeating logo trick.

Any help greatly appreciated...

cjsblues
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenj37826:
Try take battery out put back in hold vol + and - then plug in usb
[Vibrant Android Development] kikbot:
I can only get this to work while plugged into a PC not while charging from the wall. From the battery charging screen with the phone off and plugged into your PC. Hold Volume - and + and then the power on button.
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
How about any chance of port to the Viewsonic G Tablet?
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
This is always the key to download mode! Sometimes after a soft brick, no matter of combination throws me into download mode, but this always does. Just plug it in AFTER your holding Vol up and Vol down..
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Supercurio: Any update on JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
You did not say which kernel you are having trouble with. If it is JI6 w/Voodoo 5.x, that one is currently broken. The Froyo versions seem to be working for most people.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Try this.Phone off,have usb cable plugged into computer,hold volumes,up/down and plug cable into phone.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
I installed the JL1 version on Nero Beta3, but lost haptic feedback and all the Vibration functions (including vibration for calls/notifications). I reverted to stock kernel to get those back. Can you please fix that one, supercurio? I really loved the added speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
The only thing I see in this thread are posts about haptic feedback not working on the JL1 kernel. Use the JK6 kernel. It is the same as JL1 with the exception that haptic feedback works.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
I noticed you missed something on my post. Haptic and the main Vibrate function does work on JL1 stock kernel (at least the one I downloaded from Team Whiskey's site and no I don't use the default keyboard). That is why I was surprised when it went missing when I installed this JL1 voodoo kernel (thought it was fixed as TW's JL1 stock kernel). It is just feedback, chill :rolleyes:

Edit: Oh and I also said I lost all Vibrate functions. Meaning: no vibration on incoming calls/notifications. Vibrate acted as in Silent.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
If you are referring to the one on their downloads page that is the same kernel they have had up since JK2 got leaked. It is in fact the stock JK2 kernel, not JL1.

Sorry to be trollin' your thread Supercurio. I'll stop now... thanks again for making these available!
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Hi Supercurio,

FYI, I just attached lots of logs of the JI6 install failures last night.

Thanks,

Bruce
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Sorry I meant a thread, not the site. Baseband says JL1.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
What's the difference between this voodoo and a normal one? And to you, is this better?
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
Nero beta 3 w/ voodoo JL1 kernel is the perfect fit for me. Fast and clean. Thanks for bringing the black magic to my vibrant, supercurio!

In all fairness, haven't tried eugene's ginger clone. I wanted to, but can't find a reason to switch. I did flash the jl1 modem when it was first leaked by "master", and didn't lose haptic feedback. Not sure where the kernel lost it, but it was there. And I don't miss it. Im sure it can't help the battery to vibrate at every touch of a button?

Fyi, in my experience, JL1 does provide much better gps function.

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] smartmind:
Can I flashed this kernel after disable OCLF with Macnut R14 rom? Is it compatible with Eugene's rom？ In macnut r14, eugene's super IO kernel has been integrated.
[Vibrant Android Development] smartmind:
Maybe you are right, or I should say which one will let us feel more smoother, the super IO kernel or this voodoo5 kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] Greenarcher707:
I own a galaxy tab, what kind of info would you like? pm me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
I've been running JL1 for a little bit now. I'm very happy with it! Speed and battery life. :)

Hi Supercurio,

Sorry that I could not be of more help last night.

After you signed off of IRC, I did some experiments to find out what was going on with the dmesg files. What I discovered is that dmesg is not capturing any part of the adb session except this line when booting Vibrant:

init: sys_prop: permission denied uid:2000 name:adb.connected

I captured each of the 3 attached dmesg files after doing an adb session between each. I shelled to su each adb session and did an "ls" and/or tried the insmod command. If you look at the timestamps at the end (or beginning) of each file, you can see that each time I piped a dmesg file to text only a couple of "touch_led_control:" lines were added to the file. No adb session or results at all.

Since I do not know either Linux or the Android system, I am not sure what is going on here. That is, I am not sure what dmesg is supposed to capture, other than it appears to captures kernel activity down to the microsecond.

Is it the case that I would expect to see a change to the dmesg file only if the state of the kernel changed as a result of the insmod?

Please let me know if you want me to test anything else. The quickest way to get in touch with me is email: bhouston1@satx.rr.com

Thank you for your work.

Bruce

P.S. The attached adb.zip contains the filex.txt files, notwithstanding the confusing name.
[Vibrant Android Development] kponti:
Ok so I have always been one of those who just didnt understand why anyone will want/need a lag-fix on the vibrant if they were running a custom rom such as TW, etc etc? Especially with all the potential conflicts these roms had with a lot of lagfixes.

I switched to the Auxora final rom just to try it out, liked it but not quite as refined as the TW 2.1 ones I had used. Better than the TW 2.2 I used prior to that. Was waiting for the Nero to be out of beta status (Nero 3 seems like it will work fine for me currently) so I get back on that bandwagon :D.

Well I figured since Nero was out, I will try Voodoo, worse case I will have to re-ODIN back to JFD and get back to Nero....well seems I will be running the Auxora a bit longer, but spiced with Voodoo. Most daily tasks have not changed much in speed, but things like email updates, certain big apps (like my banks, yahoomail app, games etc) work unlike anything I have ever seen the phone do before!!! So this is why people are addicted to Voodoo despite its potential dragons. However I have not run into any dragons on my part (flashed JL-1 modem on JK6 Auxora), I am hoping it is cos this version of Voodoo is specifically compatible with the Vibrant!

Thanks a lot Supercurio, will try this out for a few days, if it hold consistently good, I will be making some donations and be a Voodoo for life user!
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
I've been using Voodoo for over 2 months know (TW JI6 based). Voodoo does not have any inherent flaws, or "dragons" as you call it (not even sure what this means?). I've been following ROMs and lagfixes carefully -- the only incompatibilities come from user error (i.e. not disabling voodoo before flashing) or from poorly tested lagfixes (ULF being a prime example of an i9000 kernel that was ported without proper testing). Voodoo is none of these. And neither is OCLF, but Voodoo is a far more elegant and complete lagfix IMHO.
[Vibrant Android Development] ericdude:
Hey, I'm running Onyx 4.2 and just flashed the JK6 Stock+Voodoo, everything worked fine, phone is nice and peppy, but there is one thing I noticed.

When I look in "About Phone" under settings, it shows my baseband version as being T959UVJK2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't that show JK6 now that I have flashed that kernel? What would cause this? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Don't worry about it. It's become a somewhat common problem with the advent of so many new ROM's and kernels for our phone. It has to do with information in a particular file not being updated to reflect the current configuration. If you flashed a JK6 ROM, you're running a JK6 ROM, despite what it says about baseband etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] adamkong:
does this kernel include the colorfix also?
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
Should I be concerned if I'm not seeing a red text in recovery?

[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
It does not. We need source to add the color and audio fixes

Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
Did you reboot yet? You need to reboot or at least reboot recovery. If you did, did you reinstall packages? If you did, then you reflashed the standard CWM. To get the voodoo recovery back, just reflash the kernel. No need to disable the lagfix.

Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
You won't see the red recovery unless you boot via ADB or use the 3-button reboot. If your ROM has the expanded menu when you hold the Power button for a short time you can get to it that way as well.

I've been using Voodoo ever since I found out about it. For my Vibrant nothing else has come close.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Just wanted to let everyone know that the JK2 Voodoo kernel that Supercurio posted a few pages back has been working great for me. It does show the crazy glitchiness on the Vibrant screen for a split second when booting, but doesn't seem to be "hurting" anything. Will continue to rock it and post back if I ever experience any kind of issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] smartmind:
Can I flashed this kernel after disable OCLF with Macnut R14 rom? Is it compatible with Eugene's rom？ In macnut r14, eugene's super IO kernel has been integrated. Will the voodoo be easily disable if I want to flash another rom or update?
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
You most certainly flash this on Macnut. The custom recovery has a voodoo menu where you can easily disable.

[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
Did you try rebooting after flashing the voodoo kernel? If you did, did you hear the metallic female voice telling you that it is converting partitions? I wonder if you have a device with a larger NAND chip. The new voodoo is supposed to be compatible with the larger NAND, but some people still have issues. Try rebooting after you flash the voodoo kernel without trying to enter the recovery immediately. After you reboot, shut down the phone and enter into recovery with the three finger method. It should not prompt you to reinstall packages and let you right into the recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Keslynn:
Maybe a reflash of Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager might help?
[Vibrant Android Development] cheesyFbaby:
this is the first time my phones acted strange like this. i forgot to mention i always have to hit reinstall packages twice when booting into clockwork. but anyways, if i hit reinstall i just keep getting the same message and the only way for me to get out is to regularly reboot and i land in my freshly installed nero v1

this is coming from a fresh odin as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
You should not have any trouble flashing JK over JL. I did this yesterday and have been experiencing no trouble at all. I too missed the haptic/vibration so went with the earlier kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Be advised folks...Nero V1 is now available. I shall be flashing it shortly then reinstalling Voodoo of course. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] supercurio:
:) Nice to see custom ROM working well with Voodoo, even if the main target of this stock+Voodoo version was Samsung ROMS!
[Vibrant Android Development] naughtyboy119:
You have to ODIN back to stock and try Clockwood again. I have this problem before, redo Clockwood will not work. Need to ODIN back to stock.

How to resume vibrate?

I have flashed Macnut R14 and Eugene's super IO kernel before I flashed this voodoo kernel. Now I found that all my vibration have gone, how to resume the vibration of my phone? I flahsed the one for JL1, shall I disable voodoo and flash the one for JK6 instead?
[Vibrant Android Development] reynaldolp:
Disabling any lag fix is always recommended. The same thing happened to me and lost vibration feedback. I flashed backed to jk6 but disabled voodoo first.
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Thanks for the heads up, using the Vibrant to download the zip right now 23% to go lol, try to limit the bandwidth I am using at work lol.....And I just got done setting Nero Beta 3 up smh....
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Your work is certainly appreciated, supercurio. I've used Voodoo with every custom ROM I've installed. As for Samsung ROM's...well, I'm having fun flashing custom's! :)
