[Voodoo Lagfix] : Play Voodoo with STOCK ECLAIR / FROYO kernels! - UPDATE : JM9 , JPM
- Thread starter dkcldark
- Start date
Ok thanks for your help. I went ahead and installed this new update.zip even though the old voodoo 3 was already running. It went fine.. I think!
Now what? Quadrant say 1688 but that the same as always (with the old voodoo3).
How do I verify that the M8 kernel is installed correctly?

Hi, could someone help me?
I don't know if I done it well, I follow this steps:
1-I created a disable lagfix folders /sdcard/voodoo/disable-lagfix
2-I shut down the phone, so when on again, a voice notify me that is disabling lagfix and when finished started again.
3- Once started without lagfix, I erase voodoo/disable-lagfix folders and place update.zip in sdcard and shutdown
4- When I turn it on again, here's where I start it again with 3 buttons combo to apply update.zip, but before appearing recovery mode, it appears the voice telling that is applying lagfix ext4 again, and when finishes appears recovery mode and I apply update.zip correctly
I think that I haven't done it correctly....what do you think? because before apply update.zip it apply vodoo lagfix ext4 again...
QUadrant is 1420 points after doing that, with JM8 firmware.

Please do. There are noobs like me out there who make stupid careless mistakes when flashing and disabling this lagfix etc.
A more centralized app, similar to RyanZA's OCLF apk would be immensely useful.
It would be great if could choose which lag-fix type you wish to apply ( ext2/4, nilfs2, voodoo kernel etc..).
Thank you for all the hard work!!
The mistake you made was in #3
You erased the voodoo/disable-lagfix
You need to leave that there until you flash a new kernel!
PS. Does anybody know where the NILFS2 kernel has gone to?
So basicly you had the original Voodoo lagfix installed and then you updated to this? If you're updating to another kernel that has Voodoo included, there's no need to disable the lagfix first.
EDIT: Or what RyanZA said. The instructions in the first post seem to be wrong as well.
PS. Could this method be used to bake in BackLightNotification into a stock kernel as well?

So instructions are not correctly!!
Code:
-make a folder named "disable-lagfix" in /sdcard/Voodoo
-reboot
-remove /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix folder
-apply update.zip
Updateing over Voodoo Beta4 still active
For me it didn't. Comming from Vodoo Beta4 . All done in 20 seconds and still have root and all data.
Careful, if you flash the update.zip directly over the old one, without disabling the lag fix, it will do a wipe. At least, that's what happened to me

I currently have voodoo beta 4 running on my phone. Are you saying that I can flash this version without disabling the voodoo lag fix first?

I managed to download these before they were removed. See attached for the original NILFS2 update.
I've also attached the stock JM8 stock kernel that was attached earlier as someone else mentioned this. Just need to remove the zip extension.
Cheers
They are similar systems (/data in ext4). All the difference - different kernels.
Modified stock kernel (this one) - possible (not proven) advantages: better battery life, better performance, better comportability etc
voodoo kernel by curio - made from "scratch". Probably safer for a larger variety of devices and more stable.
Maybe someone (if the do a reflash right now - I will make this test if I reflash) can make some tests?
Like do a complete wipe (sdcard, data) and do tests of this voodoo mod, against voodoo by curio. Something like 5 runs of quadrant I/O on completely stock firmware. It could show if the method of using stock kernel is better than compiling one.
Any reason why this kernel doesn't work with Clockwork? Is supercurio's Voodoo kernel the same?
After 2 days of use, I must say this lag fix is the best.
Run fast and smooth like Voodoo but not draining battery as fast as original Voodoo (I tried Voodoo lagfix V3 and this fix in JM8 FW)

I seem to get better battery life with this than voodoo.
Samsung put a lot of work into their kernel since releasing the sources. JM8 kernel is simply built from better sources than voodoo. This is not curio's fault. He does everything correct, but still: JM8 sources are newer than these used by curio.

Same here, had JM8 running with the latest voodoo (only voodoo, no colorfix) and just applied this new update without disabling the lagfix...
Worked fine and done in less then 30 seconds.

1wow, you are still using JF3? I'd recommend an update to JM9. i'm sure this will fix your problems
Nah, I've waited for FroYo for so freaking long now that it would feel like giving up if I upgraded to JM9
It should be here any day.. I mean weak.. erm.. month now! No matter when it comes out, I'm sure by that time everybody will be screeming out for Gingerbread. Or, as we know Samsung, possibly even Honeycomb... OK, sorry for the desperate off topic post...
