I have a dumb question, and didn't seem to get a direct answer. I just recently started flashing new roms and using odin, but was curious about O/Cing. With the Fusion rom already flashed, do I just flash the Voodoo kernel or do I reflash the stock firmware and THEN flash the kernel followed by the rom? Or is there something I should or should not do in there, lol. Any input is appreciated, as I am relatively new to all this.

If your new to all this don't use voodoo just yet unless your willing to deal with a brick as it's very easy to brick with voodoo

Ok, so I read up and flashed the Project Core v2 kernel last night on the 1.2 Fusion rom and it ran perfectly and was super quick at 1200/200 on setcpu. Problem is today after rebooting, it will completely freeze every once in a while while doing something media-wise, such as watching youtube videos or playing Hyper Jump. I know I didn't flash the kernel or rom wrong, so is there something I am missing? I also have the OCLF installed, if that matters.
Tonight I am going to reflash them both to see if it works, but would like to see if there is something I can do before I get off work.

you can just flash the voodoo kernel over fusion,but not all vibrants are capable of using voodoo. i.e. the vibrants with the larger nand chip does not support voodoo. if you do flash the voodoo kernel and your phone does not support, everything will still work just fine,but voodoo will not be enabled.
as for OCing..not all vibrants are capable of OC. it may run smooth at first,but some vibrants will start freezing up or slowing down. i found dragons kernel to work amazing or core 1.0ghz kernel

Alrighty, I may just drop the OC then. I just wasn't sure if it was me or not.

Voodoo was awesome but removing it resulted in a soft bricked galaxy s. Not voodoos fault. I am the end user after all. In any event, i wanted to know which lag fix was a bit more user friendly and compatible with ji5. I heard there's an app u can download that can give u a lag fix, what do u vets think of it.
Its my 3rd day with my galaxy s and im glad i didn't wait for the g2. Loving dlna and this awesome gpu! Thanks to all in the community, its only been 3 days and i already bricked 4 times. But now i know how to unbrick and help out my fellow vibrant owners
Also, anyone know a kernel compatible with ji5? Everytime i try and install kingxklicks it results in a soft brick.
none of the current custom kernels will support JIx revisions of the firmware...

What he said. If you want fast / stable then get a REAL ROM like Bionix or any of Eugene's and do Voodoo. One-Click Lag Fix is ****.

Havnt tried bionix but i liked eugenes. I removed eugenes because i actually enjoy the stock music player... how close is bionix to stock?
The Bionix changelog doesn't say anything about having removed the stock music app so it's probably still there. I haven't tried it yet so I don't really know for sure though.
You may also want to stay stock if it's what works for you. I'm on stock but am running JAC's ExtremeMod Voodoo kernel and I'm completely satisfied.
Ji5 w/ jac kernel rom uploaded, check it out.

Voodoo is working great on Eugenes JI5 with JAC kernel. Just flash the voodoo kernel after the rom.
Here is my current set-up:
Rooted eclair, oclf,jl4 modem,rom manager and Ti Backup
My question is: Which kernel will alllow me to dabble with overclocking yet be stable. I had my hopes up for Jac's ocuv kernel, but it my phone gets stuck at the vibrant boot screen. I've tried everything.. disabling lagfix, flashing the JI6 modem. Basically everything I could think of. Throw them ideas at me! Thanks--Al

Thanks guys for helping.. really appreciate it

You can odin back to stock!
In one word. YES. Quite easy too.
Overclocking currently is not ideal as the kernels use the Samsung Galaxy S International version code and that kills our battery. As soon as the Vibrant source code is released, we can see overclock kernels which don't kill the battery. For now though, don't use any OC Froyo Kernel. Use vodoo + stock kernel.

NeroV3 comes with JL5 kernel w/voodoo 5.0.4, which is disabled by default.
The SuperIO kernel is a kernel developed by eugene that fixes I/O lag on the RFS system, supposedly removing the need for other lagfixes.
Go to my thread, read the short writeup. Then watch my video tutorial on going back to stock from a custom rom via Odin. It is quite a simple process actually. If all you want to do is go back to stock, you can stop watching after that is complete. OR I showcase how to flash nero v3 w/voodoo Cya!

Hi there
The kind of kernel published here are only stock kernels, which means the exact same code build by Samsung for Vibrant phones.
Of course, there's a difference: Voodoo lagfix 5 stable has been injected in them, with its extensions and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)
This kernel also installs the su binary for your convenience. Only activated once you download Superuser App from market. If you don't want to "root" your phone, skip this part.
How do choose the version?
The best version is the closest to the one of the ROM / system you run.
If you use a custom ROM instead of an official Samsung one, ask your ROM dealer which one is closer
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e) or SGS Kernel Flasher
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin or Heimdall
JL3+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959D-TLJL3.tar
Note, please disable any other lagfix previously installed, especially OCLF-kind (the conversion to Ext4 would take ages)
These kernels are only for Telus Fascinate (T959D), sorry Verizon Fascinate pals.
EDIT: How Lame, I created this thread in the General section after seeing other T959D threads here ^^ A moderator help is welcome
Thank you!
Just flashed this and enabled the voodoo lagfix! So far so good! Just a note...I have SGS Kernel flasher and it won't flash the .tar, it will flash the .zip.
Quadrant score: 1517 first try, 1577 second try.
Just sent you a little donation, thank you again.
Thank you, I updated now the post, also to say it's tested

Anyways, i appreciate your hard work. Is there any common issues?
is there anyway we can get this kernal overclocked and undervolted? im not giving up my 1.28ghz so i can have a working home button
Flashed this last night and everything is working fantastically. Many thanks as well as a donation later today.

An overclocked version of this kernel would be fantastic as well, is that in the realm of possibility?

Im running Nero v5 ROM which I understand is KA5 with the Speedmod Kernel on my Telus Fascinate T959D and its running superb
If I flash over the KA6 kernel, will I lose the Speedmod Kernel along with all the TWEAKS ??
With all these kernels around including the Voodoo injected T959D just posted by supercurio Im wondering whether which will be the best combination with Nero v5...Voodoo 5.2 lagfix is also now available so confused...
Question from a first time flasher.
Do I have to rename the zip to "update.zip" in order to flash?
Never mind. Apparently not!
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.

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.
