how can I tell if I have the Voodoo Lag Fix installed/flashed? I bought a used Vibrant with Bionix on it and want to flash another ROM but not sure if I need to disable Voodoo since I don't know if I have it installed

run a Quadrant test. if you dont know what that is,search "quadrant" in market and download. after you run the test,if your results are in 900s, voodoo is not enabled. if your results are around 1500(can be 1400,1600 or 1700) then voodoo IS ENABLED. if your results are 2000+,then the ext2 lagfix from oclf is installed.

its the easiest way to tell.
navigate your sd card if you found voodoo folder then you have voodoo lagfix, to disable it create a file ( or folder i'm not sure) inside it and name it disable_lagfix then restart your phone and run quadrant, you should get score of 800~1000 just to be sure that the lagfix is disabled
Simple..go to market and install the voodoo toggle app from zenmaster. It shows if voodoo is ON or OFF on ur phone

Do some good research before you decide to make any changes. Although, I would suggest starting over from true stock via Odin. It doesn't matter if you have a lagfix or not, you can still put on a stock ROM and start from scratch. Make sure to repartition with odin. Hope this helps

Im kinda wary of that app. I downloaded it and I disabled voodoo thru cwr. After it rebooted I checked the app and said voodoo was still enabled. I have a.feeling it only gives a.correct reading if you turn voodoo off and.on thru the app.
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
Hold power button. Recovery. Red screen should display once the phone is done booting up. Go down to voodoo lagfix with the volume keys. Power button to select it. It should voodoo enabled, enabled on next boot or something along those lines. You can disable it from there if you have it installed.

This is the only true method to see if Voodoo is enabled or not.
voodoo!! think Im going to reinstall it again. On axura I am benchmarking around 1100 -1200 or so.

or you can use the app Voodoo Toggle. This also helps enable/disable in addition to seeing if you have voodoo
I just ran the test and I benchmarked at 1482 :-D

hi don't mean to hijack the topic, but i also just got a Vibrant currently running Ginger R2. i tried Quadrant and i get 1216. not sure if this means Voodoo is on. Voodoo toggle says its not installed, but someone in the topic says this app isn't 100% correct. sorry if this is a stupid questions. please help this Vibrant noob, thanks.

how can i know that type of LagFix do i have?
i remember applying Lagfix but i don't know which one.
i need to check it because many of MODS and Roms have a warning regarding if i have Voodoo Lag FIX.
Thanks
same situtation here.. how do you know if you ever installed any lagfix on your phone?
Well if you have the one I use
once installed correctly shows program called MCR Script in the program menu.
And to see if a lag fix is installed you can test your phone with quadrant benchmark and if you top the chart and get 2000 or up for score When lag fix is installed
ignore.... double post
These kernels are ONLY meant for DJ05/DL09 (Fascinate) , DI14 (Mesmerize) and DJ20 (Showcase)!
Below please find kernels using the latest Voodoo5 lagfix code, for the VZW Fascinate, USCC Mesmerize, and Cellular South Showcase. Updated now with Supercurio's Voodoo Sound enhancements! Download voodoo control app from the market to tweak your audio settings. If you enjoy Voodoo Sound, please consider purchasing the donate version of the app. Nobody works harder than Supercurio!
Kernels include various tweaks for performance and speed, and have also been slightly undervolted to be nice to your battery. They are NOT overclocked, as IMO, there is no benefit to overclocking other than inflated benchmarks and worse battery life.
These packages will also flash a modified version of clockworkmod recovery. This recovery will work for nandroid backup/restore, as well as flashing roms/zips. There is also a Voodoo menu in the recovery, to let you change Voodoo specific options. I also have added additional options to the Advanced options menu. If you have issues with this recovery, DO NOT BUG KOUSH. Bug me instead.
DO NOT used Rom Manager to reboot into recovery if using these kernels. If you do, you will boot into Koush's version of recovery. Either use the 3 button combo or adb reboot recovery.
To disable Voodoo lagfix, simply boot into recovery, go to the Voodoo menu, and select 'Disable lagfix'. Then reboot your phone, and listen for confirmation that Voodoo lagfix has been deactivated.
If you have any questions about what Voodoo lagfix is or does, please refer to Adrynalyne's recent threads on the topic. I am not responsible for any mistakes that are made due to a lack of understanding of this code.
Full credit for Voodoo lagfix and sound code goes to supercurio, I merely ported it to these devices.
Enjoy.
http://db.tt/TglBaT6 <- Fascinate version
http://db.tt/7IUeDgy <- Mesmerize version
http://db.tt/UTJF9D2 <- Showcase version
Source code can be found on my github, http://github.com/jt1134
Source code for the Voodoo lagfix can be found on supercurio's project-voodoo github, http://github.com/project-voodoo
Project Voodoo homepage : http://www.project-voodoo.org
For real time support and information, please check #samsung-fascinate or #project-voodoo on freenode.net.
So just push this to sd card then install using three button combo?
Where can I find Super Clean for DJ05?
Yes, just install as normal from cwm.
Is there a DJ05 version of this?
Edit: My bad if is this was asked above while I typed up this post...
installing the kernel on the mez.. so far so good.. the talking in the first boot scared me.. thats sweet though haha... all is good.. quadrant score.. 1691 thanks JT
got it on seems to n a bit smoother

I admit I didn't read all of it... Somehow I skipped straight over the part I needed to see.
I'm guilty of being busy at work & reading it at the same time... Please disregard my dumbass question earlier.
You can also reboot to recovery if the theme you're using has the option in the shutdown menu when holding in on the power button.

Model detection is done via mbr. Are you running an older version of voodoo? That's the only reason your mbr should be different.

I did at one point & reverted back to RFS due to some experimentation of my own. Is there a way that I can correct the MBR in order to get Voodoo 5 to work? I'm fine with utilizing Linux commands to get it back to normal.
Thanks! Keep up the good work I'm loving the kernel feels like my phones much snappier!

Round 2: I was able to restore the MBR & have Voodoo 5 setup go through but now it shows none of the prior settings. It's defaulted to the system default & has a ton of FCs. It appears that mount & df show everything correctly but /etc/fstab doesn't exist. I noticed that there is a /voodoo/root/etc/fstab but that doesn't have anything in it.
Is there a workaround for this to work? Would recreating the fstab fix this?

copy apk file to your phone
grab apps installer from the market
browse to apk and install it
Or if you rather, if you have adb:
adb devices {to insure you're seeing phone }
adb install <packagename>.apk {this will install to phone so long as your in usb debugging mode}

if your rooted already, DO THIS.
Search market for OCLF, its caled ryanzky's lag fix or something
you MUST have over 40 percent on battery to apply lagfix, then go see the aviable options (green ones) and click apply ext4 tools or soemthing
then apply the lagfix with binds or something like that.
its the easiest way.
also when you do the lagfix, it WILL take about 4 minutes, because its moving data and all, so yeah.
well i figured out how to install it... problem is that it says i have another lag fix already on my phone (which is voodoo i assume) even though i disabled it and deleted the folder... guess i'll have to do a complete wipe of memory and cached memory... at least i have titanium pro!
Same. Thought I would experiment with it. States I have a lag fix and references a playlogo file.
Guess it's time to Google
All done/fixed.... all I had to do was click on the restore boot animation
rebooted and then flashed the v2+ LF.
Pretty painless and a good (yet pointless quadrant score) if around 1900.
a few questions about Ginger Clone R2 and lag fixes it supports.
1)I've heard that Ginger Clone already has Super I/O, is this true?
2)I've already applied Voodoo to it, can i apply OCLF too and Super I/O if its not already there?
3) Will having more than 1 lagfix cause any problems? I'll only do it if people tell me that all 3 are good, and won't cause problems.
4)will it use more battery? or the same amount?

1. I'm not sure, but possible, either way it doesn't matter.
2. You can NOT apply multiple lag fixes, they'll just overwrite each other. A Lag fix is not necessarily a "fix". Your system uses RFS (which is slow) at default. A Lag fix changes that to either EXT2 (using OCLF) or EXT4 (voodoo) in simple.
3. Thus, you cannot have multiple lag fixes, it won't work.
4. No, using a "lagfix" won't use more battery, it's just changing your system, not running an app. Although using Super IO and voodoo *might* drain more battery, the extra drain is minute and not enough to cause alarm.

1) The kernel that comes with the rom has super IO included.
2) Voodoo requires a special kernel, so you basically replaced the Super I/O with Voodoo.
3) As stated previously, they are not compatible. However, the don't necessarily overight each other. Voodoo actually reformats the partitions whereas OCLF creates a swap file of sorts. You definately don't want to use them together though.
4) Was already answered.

Pretty much just as stated above RFS is a "slow" file system. Ext2 is the "fastest" while ext4 is faster than rfs but a little slower than ext2. So why use ext4 over ext2? Because ext4 is still hella fast and extremely safer than ext2. Ext4 uses journaling; what that means is if your phone randomly crashes all your data will be intact. Multiple crashes on ext2 can lead to corrupt data which won't permanently destroy your phone, but losing your angry birds progress would really suck. In my opinion ext4 is the only way to go, but feel free to test them all out and decide for yourself.
Oh, and the deal with Eugene's Super IO kernel is I'm pretty sure it has the .ko modules from the newly released 2.2.1 which greatly improves IO performance on RFS. While it is a vast improvement, ext4 (and ext2 for that matter) will still top IO performance hands down.
Guys I'm running ginger clone R2 and i flashed a JL5 modem. So i want to flash a voodoo, which one here is compatible with the ROM?

How can I go up installing voodoo onto my Bionix-v? The official website says voodoo is already pre-installed with Bionix-v but the Voodoo control panel that I installed via the Market says I don't have it.
Hit power button and reboot into recovery and you should voodoo as an option and make sure it is enabled and it should convert when you reboot remember to disable when you flash something new
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
reboot into recovery when it reboot comes up (like you are going to install a rom,etc.) in that, menu is enable voodoo or disable voodoo, that is where you will find voodoo options. It is already on your phone. Most of the new roms use this because ext4 is a way faster file system
It is enabled but the Voodoo control panel doesn't recognize it being enabled...
