Tried to insert dropbox links but I am a low post newbie so I can't post links.

I'm not a troll XDA.

Just a quick FYI... Gave it a quick test with Fasty III V1 and got bootloop. BL splash---> Kernel ATT Splash---- Reboot. I ran the kernel cleaning script and removed and removed the old Voodoo folder on my SD from an old install of Apex. I am running I9000 BLs if that matters. I Odin Flashed orignial Book K1 and am working fine. Didn't lose anything. . I just downloaded the kernel a few mins ago so I assume it was the newest one. I can try again if you want me to try something else. I'm stoked about getting this working. Thanks for taking this on.

Well looks like yet another I897 firmware was just leaked. Guess I'll drop the KI2 project and start working with KJ1.

Either way I gotta wait for my slow arse laptop...

*edit*
I wish there was a bit more documentation on how to build Voodoo from source...

I just now made a few changes and installed on Fasty III V1... works great now. Re-download and give it a shot (if you're brave).

P.S. Quadrant gave me 2216 with ext4 on Fasty.

Very well done (fasty III v1. I'm typing this on out right now. Lagfix is enabled and every aspect of the rom is smooth. I'll keep dining out and report back. Thank you for this.

If you hear periodic "chirping" sounds it is converting. The ATT boot screen should be visible throughout the process. If you have a black screen make sure your battery didn't die... plug it into a charger.

No sounds.....it just rebooted on me after 15min. Got back in to CWM and am disabling it and see if it will boot first and then convert with voodoo control app.

No go with disabling it. Still bootlooping. Will have to try to reflash...

Tested on pinnacle 1.3 and so far seems fine. Jumped quad score from 1300 to 1900. Conversion took about 5 minutes tops.

Did my log files help at all.

Mine took about 5 mins. I heard the Voo doo voice just like the I9000 Roms only really fast. Never tried Quadrant before now so i don't know good from bad but it said 2086.

I got the Alsa audio player binary ("aplay") from an I9000 kernel. Doesn't quite agree with the Captivate. I'll try to work on that, but at least it's some audible feedback.

Tried with the ODIN and still nothing. I'm going to have to return to stock now because my cappy won't go past the ATT screen when trying a non-voodoo kernel. Hopefully it works.

And I can cook my breakfast eggs on my phone so it's a double win

    Update: New version 7.06 (UCKK4) from Samsung I897 source code.

    UCKK4 kernel with Voodoo sound and color, BLN, 1200 mhz overclock, custom CwM 5, init.d, root, custom boot animation support, fully working nandroid, rfs/ext2/ext4 formatting, multiple tweak options and more!

    No more Voodoo lagfix. Reformatting functions are contained in a new custom-modified CwM Recovery. Ext4, Ext2, and RFS formatting options are available for /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache together and individually. Su / Superuser installation is available from within Recovery for un-rooted ROMs. Kernel tweaks are also available from within Recovery, as well as support for init.d scripts and sysctl.conf.

    You can flash this over any supported partition scheme. Select OC, scaling governor, i/o scheduler, etc. in Recovery. Download BLN app from Market to control BLN, Voodoo Control app to adjust sound and color, and Voltage Control for under-volting (not recommended unless you know what you're doing). Please do not use Tegrak for this... the frequency table in this kernel is of a different design than that in Talon, Semaphore, etc.

    Please consider this somewhat experimental. It was a major pain to track down and piece together the missing parts of the source code, and should be considered a work in progress. Version 6.03 (repackaged stock kernel) is still available and reliable.

    You might want to back-up and remove any shell scripts you have in your /system/etc/init.d folder until you have flashed this and can verify that they
    are compatible and/or needed.

    NEW - NEW - NEW: Version 7.0A is for those who have experienced reboots or want a basically stock kernel with BLN, Voodoo Sound, SIO and SmartassV2. No overclocking, Voodoo Color, TinyRCU, advanced ext4 driver, or other code modifications... just straight Samsung code. If you want overclocking, use Tegrak loadable module (paid version?) to provide that.

    Please use this guide for reporting problems
    Version 7.06
    - Added Low Memory Killer and SD Card Read-ahead selection in Recovery
    - Increased scheduler latency values slightly for better (?) stability
    - Simplified SCSI and Procfs drivers for better (?) stability
    - Restored MMC driver to 100% stock code. Previous modified version suspected as cause of reboot problem for some users.
    - General code clean-up and debugging

    Version 7.05
    - Fixed Wifi (again)

    Version 7.04
    - Compiled with Linaro 12-2011 toolchain (optimizations make kernel even faster)
    - Updated Tiny RCU
    - Fixed IpSec key retention
    - Fixed Superuser permissions to satisfy Tibu

    Version 7.03
    - Fixed hinkey RFS from version 7.02
    - Back to Tiny RCU
    - Added full L2TP / IpSec network support
    - Overclock is now off by default... enable in Recovery

    Version 7.02
    - Added Voodoo Color
    - Reverted to stock tree rcu from tiny rcu
    - Reduced scheduler latency and other tweaks

    Version 7.01
    - Built from UCKK4 kernel source.
    - Added Voodoo sound, BLN, and 1200 mhz overclock.
    - Added several scaling governors, including interactive and smartassV2
    - Switched to Tiny RCU and updated ext4 driver code
    - Wifi working

    Version 7.0A
    - Built from unmodified UCKK4 kernel source.
    - Added Voodoo sound and BLN.
    - Added SmartassV2 scaling governor and SIO i/o scheduler.

    > CWM flashable version HERE
    (CWM flash version has init.d scripts to zip-align apps and "vacuum" your

    Source code will be available soon...

    Sorry for my long absence, but a new job and a move have kept me preoccupied. I don't expect to have much time for continuing to support the Corn Kernel, so I will be packaging-up the source code for both the kernel and custom recovery and posting it here for anyone who wants to take it over. Look for it in the next few days.
