Simple instruction Go To Darkys post and READ PAGE ONE .
If you dont understand the basic instruction and are not even following them nothing will work . Those who fail to follow instuctions brick the phone .

Ask Questions ask in Darky post .

Do you have kies running in the background? close it first. (make sure process is not running)
Also did you set to usb debugging?

You need to ensure you have a compatible kernel to flash the phone before you install this ROM and you can't just flash Darky's ROM with Odin as it's for official Samsung ROM's.

As a previous poster said, you need to read page one thoroughly before starting.

Good luck

What is the biggest differences Voodoo 5.4.1 LagFix enabled vs. Voodoo LagFix disabled? Witch one is better battery life?

Go to the development page and go to his rom, they have step by step instructions, that if you follow them correctly, nothing should go wrong. There is a guide called Darkyy 9.3 Extreme Edition shorter method, this one is really easy, just follow the steps and you shouldn't have a problem

Lagfix enabled will do what it says... Fix the lag...

Why dont you just use recovery menus to flash your roms? Soooo much easier and in my opinion safer and quicker than ODIN
