[Voodoo Lagfix] : Play Voodoo with STOCK ECLAIR / FROYO kernels! - UPDATE : JM9 , JPM

dkcldark · Sep 19, 2010

Sorry for being so late. I've been extremely busy recently..

Thank you very much.

-----------------------------------------------

I've made a new update.zip

This is 98% identical with the original Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0.

the only differences are

1. loading modules on booting.

2. using stock JM8 kernel

Thanks ^^

# to users who are using the previous voodoo-with-stock kernels

-> Overwrite it!

##########

THANK YOU SUPERCURIO!!!!!

##########

### EDIT ###

1. updated JM9 support!!

2. FroYo JPM support : just remove the ".zip" at the end (Only for Odin flashing at the moment)

Sound interesting.
What about Benchmarking and battery life?

Thanks for developing.

Quadrant scores? Pros and Cons over VooDoo??

How did you modify the JM8 kernel? I thought we were limited to using the source provided by Samsung for the kernel (which is probably not the exact same as the ones used in its firmwares). Anyway, great work! Off to read more about NILFS2 now

He found a nice way to modify kernels. He has a post up on it earlier.

Any chance for a JH2 or JM5 kernel as well? Preferably with EXT4!

I don't like NILFS2 myself, since it feels sluggish.

Please read this benchmark.

This is great news. Could you post a version that uses EXT4 with the JM8 kernel please? I'd like to use the stock kernel rather than one compiled from source like in voodoo because I assume it's better optimised. Could you also post the files you used and some instructions on how you did it? I'd like to have a look at how it's implemented. Thanks!

the benchmark said:
We are not done with our EXT4 vs. Btrfs vs. NILFS2 file-system testing as we still have to run these new file-systems on a solid state disk, but as it stands right now

Please read your own benchmark! Solid state != Spinning disk.

Not to say the results would definitely change, but the benchmark itself is fairly useless for the SGS.

Is this going to work even though I have JM1 installed? Having that you used the JM8 kernel.

Thanks!

kouklakis · Sep 19, 2010

Thanks!
The test in M2 and became really fast now!

mwayn · Sep 19, 2010

will work to 2.2 ? Thx

Of course...NO

Benson17 · Sep 19, 2010

Nice work, will try it!

So this is only a repacked zImage with nilfs2.ko kernel module? To compile the kernel module you still need the kernel sources, right? Just asking because you mentioned in your last thread (if i remember right) that you are working on a froyo version...

>>> yes, exactly! We'll be able to apply awesome lagfixes as soon as we have some required modules! I'm asking some people to give those modules to me but no luck yet.

hi,i m a new comer.i have jm8 for my galaxy,and i installed voodoo lagfix 3.0 which one does not include the color solution.
if i create a file or folder named “disable lagfix” in a a directory named “Voodoo” and reboot the phone to disable the voodoo 3.0,can i install you version of voodoo using NILFS2.
thanks!

Ah! Awesome! I must've missed thar thread.

Been using this for the past 2 hours, and the phone is flying! Sure I get a low Quadrant score but my phone has never been this fast and responsive. I must say, it's even faster than the ext4 voodoo fix.

But does it keep taking "snapshots" every now and then or have you disabled this feature? 'Coz I wouldn't want excessive reads and writes on my internal sd unnecessarily. I had low expectations for this fix considering the snapshot "feature" of the filesystem and the benchmark posted earlier in this thread, but now I'm amazed by how fast this is!

On rfs, loading apps like xda or gallery for the first time resulted in 3-4 seconds of black screen. With ext4 voodoo, about 1 second for xda and 3-4 seconds for gallery. But now with this one, xda opens up instantly and the gallery loads up within a second! Very impressed I am. Thanks for the wonderful work

Emm, is initramfs_data.cpio.zip the update.zip ? Cos from what I understand its not. Than where the original file is?

Never mind, managed to look at it just as it was reuploaded =)

So, should it be alright to disable voodoo, flash any other kernel (to remove lagfix), remove disabling file, flash your kernel?

EDIT2. Do you mind uploadng the stock JM8 kernel for reverting, since you have it?

>>> I love using NILFS2

. It does keep taking snapshots but it doesn't demage the movinand..I think. the only lag comes when it's GCing.

ed10000 · Sep 19, 2010

BTW, I forgot to mention that I lost root after applying the NILFS2 fix. How do I root it now? Just use BackfireNL's update.zip method? Will the lagfix still stay?
