I flashed it with sgs kernel flasher on 2.1 firmware, I rooted the phone before thought. After that I was able to get into recovery mode to install Doc Rom - I placed it on my internal sd before flashing the speedmod (ur unable to do normal boot).

Anyway I looked at the changes in your guide:

All my changes apply to the Section D, so no need to confuse users with modifying A (there everything should be ok, since you're flashing on 2.2/2.2.1 firmware). I would personally change that:

Section A

Flashing a Speedmod Kernel Guide here.

Now go to Section E

Section D

Another way to get to Doc´s Rom from stock 2.1 with 2e recovery, does not work with Stock Froyo 2.2 or 2.1.1.

When you have the apps and the Kernel needed for this Section,

1.Install the apps.

2.Cook your Doc Rom and put it on your internal sd card. (see section E how to do that)

3.If you did not download the kernel with your phone,(qr codes in post 2) put it on your internal sd card.

4.Root with Z4Root.

5.Flash the Speedmod Kernel with Sgs Kernel Flasher (only v1.5.9 or newer)

6.Enter recovery (Atm you will get stuck on GT screen due to mismatch between kernel/firmware versions if you try normal booting)

7.Factory reset

8.Install zip from sd card

9.Choose zip from sd card

10.Install the Doc Rom

11.Reboot

EDIT: and don't forget to change links to newer Sgs kernel flasher :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phoenixdigital:
Can I ask why in step 3 of section C you need to install the ROM twice?

The reason I ask is that from time to time when upgrading my DocROM I get into a state where it will no longer boot.

This happened again lastnight and I can now reproduce the issue

1. Factory Reset from previous ROM

2. Install DocROM

3. Install theme template "( AOSP Lockscreen, menu button fix, + Extended Power Menu XXJPY)" - From Doc Thread

4. Install battery circle mod using framework from step 3 (http://circle.glx.nl/)

Now generally this all goes well.

However sometimes it gets into a state where on boot it just sits there vibrating once... then a quick double vibrate... then pause... then repeat vibrate sequence...

When it is in this state reflashing the ROM from step 1(above) ONLY doesn't fix the issue. Even restoring a full backup from recovery doesnt fix it. I used to reflash a stock ROM with ODIN to get back to a working state.

I can also force it to die like this by following steps 1-4(above)... all boots ok... then do a factory reset... then my phone is in dead boot vibrate loop...

I discovered if I redid section C in this guide twice it comes back to normal again.

So can someone explain

a) Why do you have to install twice in section C?

b) Why is my phone behaving like this when I upgrade a DocROM wipe?

I would have posted this in the docRom thread but it is so prolific with posts most questions get lost back a few pages within an hour.

Many thanks for the guide guys.

Special thanks to addi for your patients. Damn that guy has patients.. :D

The guide does help but could do with a little tweak by putting the section links together with the section instructions.

Then perhaps a little matrix explaining briefly which sections you might need to use for your own setup.

All in all. Fantastic work and I dunno what I would have done without that IRC channel.

ok very sorry as this is prob in here but my minds just starting to boggle today with odins and CWM popping out - im using the Simply Galaxy V2.6 SweetHoney (Froyo JS7) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950354&page=102 and due to a few glitches im moving over and giving a shot at the rom kitchen. what i want to check is do i have to go back to stock and so on, or can i just flash CWM speed mod kernel to get rid of ultimate kernel or can i just flash the rom kitchen rom

sorry i know its a really silly question and i proabably read it a few times, just heads popped haha. maybe you can tell me the order of steps i need :D

massive thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Perka:
I have never used the sweethoney rom, but as far as I can see there should not be a problem flashing a doc rom, but i recommend a wipe rom, so you need to backup your apps etc.

I would flash a speedmod kernel, do a factory reset and flash you doc rom.

If you get in to some trouble, flash stock jm8 or jm9 with pit 512 and then just follow the guide.

You can also join the irc channel for live support.

Ps the files you need I have in my file stash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gvdn:
Shouldn't he best disable lag fixes if he has any before flashing Speedmod?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Perka:
Yes :) thx.

Before you begin with the flashing process, make sure that you:

Samsung drivers installed on your computer.

Have backups.(When you restore your backups, DO NOT restore system settings.)

Do not have any lag fix applied.(If you are going to flash stock with pit, no need to disable lag fix)

Phone battery is fully charged.

We strongly urge you to read through the whole guide first before attempting any of this,

and sticking to our reference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aayyaanna:
a bit of clarification :)

k i read the guide but still not sure cause of my config..

i had froyo 2.2 stock(3:e recovery).So downloaded voodoo kernel(which made it 2:e recovery + inbuilt CWM) and installed Darky's rom!!

now i want to flash romkitchen. Is it necessary to odin with speedmod 1st then flash romkitchen OR is it enough if i boot into recovery>factory reset/Wipedata and flash romkitchen?!!I have this doubt cause the CWM is in built and not downloaded as an app!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aayyaanna:
Solved!!

thanks to <@Xiff> at " irc channel live support" for helping me out.. I'm on ROMKITCHEN!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Perka:
Just so there is no confusion, you dont need to flash darky rom to get a doc rom!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maheshanand87:
Quadrant score only around 1000 :(

On my previous stock 2.2.1 rom with OCLF enabled, I used to get scores close to 1750. Now I'm on build number Doc_v9.9.5.XWJS8, kernel -> hardcore@speedmod-k13c-500hz . I used CWM to change filetype from rfs to ext4. But the performance isnt as smooth as it used to be and hence the score.

Please let me know what's to be done to speed it up.

This is the my 1st comment on xda. Not sure if I've posted it in the right place :confused:

What am I doing wrong??? Should I install a base firmware first?? I was under the impression that stock 2.1 was as base as a firmware could get...??? Perhaps a clean-up script but i cant exactly do that from <2e> recovery :S

I am currently running darky v9.5 and have just cooked my first rom, am I right in thinking I can just put the zip file on to internal sd and install from zip via recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] farouksters_69:
Section A

Before flashing the Speedmod Kernel, put your Kitchen Rom on your internal sd card.

Flashing a Speedmod Kernel Guide here.

When flashing on 2.1, you get stuck on GT-screen, dont worry its normal, just pull battery and enter recovery.

Now go to Section E

forgot to put rom into internal sd card bfore flashing. can it be done by external sd card?

[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok, so I have done some reading and I think I want to make the switch to voodoo. Before I do I want to get some questions figured out, really more or less I just want to confirm with myself that I have the process down.

1. Installing a voodoo kernel (for the first time) is no different than installing a nonvoodoo kernel correct? Backup, boot into CWM and flash using the install .zip from SD card?

2. Once I'm on voodoo, I can flash any voodoo kernel over the other but if I want to flash a nonvoodoo kernel I need to create a FILE in the SD/voodoo folder called disable_lagfix?

3. Once I'm on voodoo if I want to create a nandroid using Rom Manager do I need to disable voodoo?

4. When would it be necessary to TOTALLY remove voodoo?

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
1. In a word, yes. Doing so will take longer than flashing a non-Voodoo kernel, as it will take some time to do the filesystem conversion for the lagfix. There will be a robotic female voice that will periodically announce progress updates, along with ETAs to completion. Please be patient and DO NOT pull your battery while this is occurring, otherwise you will be getting very familiar with ODIN very soon. ;)

2. Yes, to install a non-voodoo kernel, you have to disable the Voodoo lagfix first. Creating that file is one way to do it, but preferably you would boot into the red CWM (via three finger salute) and select the menu option to disable the lagfix. The red CWM is installed on your phone along with any Voodoo kernel, and should always be used over green CWM from Rom Manager while Voodoo is enabled. If you ever boot into green, which loads from the update.zip file on your sdcard, go to Advanced and Reboot to Recovery to reboot into the proper red CWM.

3. See answer to number 2. Use red CWM for this, as green CWM can't read the ext4 filesystem and will not work properly. As long as you use red CWM, no disabling is necessary for nandroid backups.

4. Only time I know of that you would want to is if you decide you want to revert back to the stock ROM, or a non-voodoo kernel. Other than that, it would be best to leave it enabled, due to the benefits it offers.

As far as what kernel to use, right now I would recommend Adrynalyne's Voodoo kernels, dated 1/18 or later, as they have the DL09 CD-ROM mounting bug fixed. I myself am running the 1/18 undervolted Voodoo kernel. Also, just FYI, I would personally recommend switching to a custom ROM as well. I enabled Voodoo on a stock DL09 ROM, and then wiped and installed the DL09 Super Clean 0.4 ROM from Adrynalyne (I backed up personal apps with Titanium Backup first, and restored on the new ROM). The performance boost is absolutely phenomenal over the stock experience with this configuration. There's almost no lag on anything anymore. I still see a slight amount of lag when installing apps, but it's hardly anything compared to stock (installing apps on the stock ROM made the phone grind to a screeching halt).
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Thank you very much for the help! I've been running black hole 3.0 for a long time now, just wanted to finally make the move to voodoo since it seems to be the way yo go.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Okay, duh. If I'd taken half a second to read the ROM ad in your sig, I would have noticed that. Oh well. Yeah, you should get another fairly decent speed boost out of Voodoo, and you should enjoy the color fix as well.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
An important note here is that you have to reboot *after* disabling the lag fix, since the actual conversion is done on the next boot following the change of the setting.

So the process is:

1- Set to disable the lag fix, either by manually creating the "disable lagfix" file on your SD card or by choosing the setting in red Clockwork.

2- Reboot your phone to allow it to do the conversion back to an RFS file system.

3- Then install your desired non-Voodoo kernel, through ROM manager or directly through Clockwork.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
also note that the kernels just got updated for us with voodoo sound enhancements which are amazing.

[Fascinate General] ktez:
I am also thinking of taking the voodoo plunge and this discussion has been really helpful. The only other question I have is about removing voodoo - I have the newer version of adrynalyne's voodoo uninstaller for dj05, wondering if this is the proper one for voodoo5 and dl09 also. Just want to have everything I need in case - thank you!
[Fascinate General] sreymj:
The audio out via bluetooth is not working... interesting. Going to try jt's now.
[Fascinate General] sreymj:
jt's latest did the trick. audio out works with bluetooth. adrynalyne's did not.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
So I made the switch, and DAMN glad I did! Everything is so smooth and snappy. Thanks for all the help everyone!
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Just make sure you know how to disable it and how to flash on top of it. Also, make sure you know how to fix if it breaks.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Well I don't plan on flashing anything other than a voodoo kernel so I'm good as far as flashing over it. To disable just use the option from red cwm and I'm good there. What is the system disable tho? I forget the exact wording.
[Fascinate General] Grimis:
I downloaded Project Voodoo app from the Market and it states the 1/21 kernel does not have sound enhancement enabled. So, what are you talking about?
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Just to confirm, if I use red cwm to create a backup then I would only be able to restore my backup on another voodoo kernel since the file extensions are different?
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
I think I want to make the plunge too. Right now I am running Blackhole 2.4 w/various non-voodoo kernels and my performance is fine but battery life is terrible. I have a couple of questions.

I'd like to try witching to the DL09 Super Clean 0.4 ROM / Radio and a voodoo kernel. Should I install the ROM or kernel first ?

What is this three finger salute to get into Red CWM? Can someone elaborate?

Is voodoo any better or worse for battery life? I havent had much luck with battery since going to DJ05 with any nonvoodoo kernel. Tried jt, ady, imnuts, etc.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Shouldn't matter whether you install the ROM or kernel first, though I did the kernel first, fwiw. Just make sure that you install them separately. I would probably recommend installing a Voodoo kernel first, let it do its thing, and reboot into your current ROM, then wipe and install the new ROM.

The three-finger salute is to hold power+volup+voldown from a powered off state, until the Samsung logo appears and then flashes off and back on once. That will boot into red CWM, which is now installed on your phone along with the Voodoo kernel. When you have Voodoo enabled, do everything in red CWM. Stay out of green CWM until after you disable the Voodoo lagfix, if you ever want to.

I haven't done a lot of testing, I'm very please with battery life on my phone with DL09 Super Clean and Adrynalyne's undervolted Voodoo kernel (use the latest 1/21 version, which has the cdrom bug from DL09 fixed). Using that combination, I updated my PRL and did a battery stats wipe after the phone was fully charged in a powered off state, and I have no problem making a full day with what I consider to be fairly heavy use, though some may deem it moderate use. With light use, I could make two days, which I've done a couple times.
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
To get to Red Clockwork, you need to power on the phone by holding both volume buttons and the power button. That's what they mean by the three finger salute.

You can also type 'reboot recovery' via adb or the terminal app to get to Red Clockwork.

You can NOT get there via ROM Manager.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Though not recommended for the sake of avoiding confusion, technically you can. Rom Manager will reboot you into green CWM, which it loads from the update.zip file on your SD card, and from there, you can go to the Advanced menu and choose Reboot to Recovery, and it will then reboot again, this time into red CWM.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Are you running the DL09 Radio? Thanks for the resp.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Yes he is.

Just to confirm, if I use red cwm to create a backup then I would only be able to restore my backup on another voodoo kernel since the file extensions are different?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Yes, I'm running the DL09 radio. I upgraded to stock DL09 with the OTA patch before switching to a custom ROM and kernel.

Powell730, I'm not sure, since I've never tried that myself. I do know that red CWM supposedly works just fine with non-Voodoo kernels, and I don't believe it gets uninstalled when you install a non-Voodoo kernel. If it does, I think Adrynalyne has it packaged in an ODIN compatible flash file to reinstall it by itself. Though I can't say for sure it won't work, I would not recommend trying to restore any backups with one version of CWM that were created in another version.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Ok awesome thank you! I don't intend on going back to a regular kernel anyway but just thought I'd try and inform myself. Thanks again for all the help!
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
There is really no difference between the different recoveries other additional options and ext4 mount abilities. Nandroid backups are essentially universal. I compiled the voodoo recovery only to provide more options, add ext4 compatibilty and address bugs in koush's build.

Because of a very blatent and unaddressed bug in koush's recovery, I would honestly suggest against anyone ever using it.
[Fascinate General] comradesven:
Yes, as I discovered, the ext4 aware recovery will also reformat partitions as ext4 when restoring based upon whether lagfix was enabled or not, saving the convert on startup. A nice touch. Anyway there is too much confusion out there because people don't understand what Voodoo does/how to remove it/what to do when MY PHONE DONT BOOT etc., and it's nice to see some info that should hopefully lower the number of people who have problems that seem big but actually are rarely all that complex.

And as for koush, Fascinate is my first Android experience, but I kinda understand who he is. And if he decides that just has too much on his plate to deal with one crazy variant of one phone model, then we are just going to have to deal with it :)
[Fascinate General] gotsflat4love:
I've been on the fence about voodoo. Is it as easy as it sounds? I am on stupid fast 1.54 non voodoo. Sell me on voodoo lol
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
It's as easy as it sounds, if you know how to flash stupid fast then you know how flash a voodoo kernel. Where people run into the problems is when they try and remove voodoo/go to another nonvoodoo kernel. Just pay attention, read the many many many great guides on these forums and you will be fine. I had my phone for 3 months before I went to voodoo a few days ago and LOVE IT!! JT and adrynalyne have made this phone so usable.

If you're not comfortable with at least ODIN then I would read some more. I am not familiar with ADB at all but if it came down to it I would use it, I'm familiar with comptuers enough that I know I could get through it.
[Fascinate General] gotsflat4love:
So red cwr comes with the voodoo kernel right? I don't have to install a red cwr?
