Is there an easy way to see what kernel I have?
I think I installed "[KERNEL] JAC XMOD OC/UV w/Voodoo and w/Colorfix [CFQ] CWM/Stock/ODIN V1.1 10/02/10" via Odin. [I do have clockwork as well]
When I got to About Phone there is no easy way to see if it actually worked?

I want to install Bionix 1.7 w/ JACs OC kernel. I have flashed his kernel before, but i want to know, can I flash the stock kernel and just lose my OC? In case I have to go back to stock Bionix.
So, can I expect to flash the stock kernel on top of Bionix 1.7 to get rid of JACs kernel?

I don't think this will work, I'm not 100% but since his 1.7 build is based off of the JI6, I believe the kernel is different and this might mess some stuff up for you. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong
If I decide to go back to stock, I'll have have to use odin? When I was using 1.4 w/ OC, I flashed stock kernel via clockwork. then I soft bricked :O
i currently have done the below listed things (in my sig) to my phone... if i flash this kernel, i assume (and probably correctly) that i need to disable voodoo first. but will there be any problem with my JL2 modem? or will the new kernel just overwright the JL2 with the JL1 that's integrated in eugene's kernel...? Thanks all.
JL1 will replace your current modem.
Disable voodoo before flashing Eugene's kernel.
I'm running AOSP 1.1 and would like to install Voodoo or a better kernel.
Thanks
flash it.

find your version.
I have 2 Samsung Vibrants( t-959 ), and I installed two versions of Bionix, and still, no voodoo! It says something about the kernel not supporting extended sound controls.
Additional Info -
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: T959UVKB1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: Bionix-v 1.3.1 By Team Whiskey
Please help... Thanks!
Just try flashing a different kernel instead of a different ROM. Try Overstock or Tiger's Blood and see if that makes a difference.
I didnt know you could flash just the kernel! Thats pretty cool... Now how do I do it without messing up? Is there a tutorial, or do you just go into recovery, and install the sip like you would a ROM?
Did you go into recovery and enable voodoo and enable it to change your file system?
There are plenty of guides, take a look in the Bible or simply google, "how to flash kernel, vibrant."
Yes.
Here is a link to the kernel I'm using.

My phone can handle the 2.2 version, but I would start out with the 1.4.2 version and see how that treats you.
In case you don't know, flashing through red recovery is done by pushing your power button and selecting Recovery, not by using clockworkmod.

You have voodoo, just not voodoo sound or color. Bionix 1.3 uses stock kernels so like others have said you should flash a custom kernel like Overstock. You flash kernels the same way you flash ROMs
Thanks for all the replies! Just to make sure I got this right, I downloaded and put onto the phones SD card Overstock 1.4.2. Now all I have to do is boot to Red Screen recovery, select the zip, and intall... Is this correct, or am I missing a step? I already backed up the stock ROM.

Hence the reason I said to flash Overstock or Tiger's Blood. You can even use Kernel Flasher from the market.

Correct, my friend. Just let us know if you have any other issues.
Thanks again guys! Only problem is I dont see that the Kernel was updated. Oh well, at least everything on Voodoo now works, and some of my apps seem to have a few new features... Plus it is QUICK! I went from 12.86 to 14.74 on linpack!
Warning Noob Question:
So I flashed sc 2.9 nv. Does the sc 2.9v rom include a voo doo kernel or would I flash the kernel then flash the 2.9v rom? Also is this worth my time. Everything seems to run smooth as is. Will voo doo give me any noticable benefits?
Thanks
Superclean comes with either a voodoo kernel or a nonvoodoo kernel depending on which one you install. But in reality, its better to flash some of the custom Froyo kernels afterwards for a bit more umph.

Newest comavolt kernel

I cant find one thats non touchwiz
Or imnuts' latest I think it's 330, works great for me
What advantage does that have over the standard eb01 voodoo kernel?
Well it looks like it doesn't matter because I cant flash them anyway. The only Kernels I can find wont flash using cwm 3. I cannot find an older version of cwm anywhere.
SC should have installed cwm 2.5 at the same Time. The fascinate still use cwm red, not orange.
Also I would install jt's new ec10 based voodoo kernel. Yes it's TW but it's stable and clean.

What happens if I flash a tw kernel with a rom that isnt?
voodoo kernel, IMO, since it utilizes the faster ext4 file system instead of the stock samsung one.
Ok so i tried flashing a bunch of different cwm versions and eventually started getting an error in cwm when i did a boot to recovery through Rom Manager. So i did the normal boot and when it pulled up it was red lettering and said CWM Voodoo lagfix recovery 2.5.x. So I figured while i was there i would try to flash the voodoo kernel in my sd card and it worked. Creepy robot voice and all. Now im wondering what I did and if maybe i screwed up something since my CWM 3 doesn't seem to be working.
You don't want CWM 3 to work. With the Fascinate, you need to stay on 2.5.x.x because CWM 3 is written for the newer edify scripting. Fascinate still uses amend scripting.
Awesome. Thanks for all the help. One more question. Is it a necessaty to download setcpu with voodoo? am i going to hurt my phone without it?
No it's not necessary, and it won't cause any damage. Over/under clocking your CPU can be of some benefit (performance vs. battery life when idle), but it is definately not mandatory.
