Download Astro file manager from the market then on your phone go to the link I've provided. Download the kernel and make sure it's on the root directory of your sd card using the file manager. Reboot into recovery and flash away.

Tanx. Man do I need to get da. Voodoo app from the market?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Using one of the kernels on the page I pointed you to will let you toggle the lag fix on or off using cwm recovery so you don't need one of the apps on the market. I will tell you that the easiest lag fix to use is the One Click Lag Fix available from the market. Using Voodoo and messing with the kernel of your phone can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I've bricked my phone several times because of Voodoo.
I'm asking kuz. I tried the one click... and it says unavailable. Because I have another lag fix installd. But I don't... and da Rom I have is aura 2. 2
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm running Axura 2.2 as well. One Click doesn't work with it. Use the JL1 plus voodoo kernel on the page I pointed you to in the previous post. Make sure it's the Clockworkmod recovery .zip file and flash it just like you would a rom. When you boot into recovery it has options to enable or disable the lag fix. Just make sure before you flash a new ROM you disable it otherwise your phone will soft brick.
Also make sure you give it time after flashing. On your first reboot it will hang on the vibrant screen for about 10 min. while it re writes the file system. You'll hear a voice from your phone during this time that'll let you know what's happening.
Ok so way I do is download the voodoo from da link... den I go to Rom manager and flash it threw clockwork?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yup. Just like flashing a ROM. Remember to be patient on the first boot. If you interrupt the process in the middle you will brick your phone then we'll be having a whole different conversation
Lol ok ok.. let me just make sure.. I downloaded jl1 voodoo unsigned zip or sum like dat.. ima. Move it to the main rooting ting on my memory card... I open Rom manager... click install Rom from SD... den flash it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yup. If you use Astro it will be in a file labeled download. Copy it into the same directory your Axura.zip file is in boot into recovery and flash it just like you did your ROM and then reboot.
Ok ima try it lol... ill b bak. In 20 if success lol

I just realized that mine doesn't either. These roms and kernels are rarely perfect. Small price to pay for the increased speed though.

It's because you selected the JL1 kernel. It has a know issue of no vibration/feedback. JK6 is wonderful, go with that one.
so kan i just flash it or do i gotta take the other one off first??? den flash it??

You can flash it right on top. A word of general warning, however. If you ever want to go back to something that is not a Voodoo kernel, you will need to disable the lagfix first. If you don't, expect serious issues.

Voodoo is a lag fix. It moves some stuff to your memory card to make your phone run faster.

No, it definitely hasn't moved my stuff to my memory card...
It converts the /data partition on your phone to EXT4, which is a far superior file system than RFS, which the phone would otherwise use. This increases your disc I/O speed and makes the phone run smoother.
So is it better then the lag fix that I have now which is the Ryan lag fix from the app that's on the market. The voodoo is on that app but I'm not sure if its a better one especially that its found in the settings under kernal. And I don't have any knowledge about changing rge kernal.

In order to use the Voodoo lagfix you must have a kernel that is compatible with Voodoo. Voodoo is something that you must read about and research before toying with it. I would suggest you go here and read about it. The OCLF app you are using gives you the option to update your kernel to a Voodoo compatible one and installs the Voodoo lagfix; it will also back up your current Kernel. Hope this helped a little. The only downside of Voodoo is that anytime you want to flash a new ROM or kernel or any flashable zip folder you pretty much need to disable it to prevent damage from occurring.

Lag Fix, PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Hey guys,
Im fairly noob
This is my issue
Bought samsung vibrant i9000m
Unlocked it
Rooted it
NOW i want to lag fix.
So, i update the firmware to froyo 2.2 using kies, everything went fine. Then i installed OCLF, but i always get an error saying that there is not enough space in /data to complete this fix
So, i now know that it is talking about the internal sd. Tried to erase as much as i could, but i could only get to around 815megs free, and according to other posts, i would need at least 1.5 gigs.
Erased everything i could ( apps, samsung default apps that come with 2.2 etc)
Still not enough space
SO.....
Tried to use voodoo
The install process says to simply download the file, put it in the internel sd card`s root and rename it 'update.zip' ( yes made sure it was not update.zip.zip) then reboot in recovery and select ' apply update.zip'.
So i did.
I ALWAYS get this ANNOYING error 'signature verification failed, installation aborted'
At this point i want to smash my phone on the ground...but i didn't, cuz i know someone can help
CONCLUSION: im on froyo 2.2, i want to lag fix with either OCLF OR VOODOO, witch ever can work. Please remember i am still a noob, so i cant really try to flash anything using odin yet...
Baseband: JL2.
PLEASE HELP ME FINALLY LAG FIX THIS PHONE!!!!
A way to get around the signature failing is to download rom manager and boot into recovery mode with clockwork mod. It has an option to not validate the signature and should let you finish.

Ian using eugenes Froro the macnut r10. And I can't get into recovery mode, download mode, I can't use rom manager anymore... does anybody know how to fix this?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
did you flash anything else after the rom?
How long have you been running the rom, with no problem?
if you type "su" (no quotes) in terminal emulator does it return a "#"?
If you use an app like quick boot does it allow you to go to recovery *most likely stock recovery*?
Quick boot doesn't do anything it just goes to the vibrant screen and stays there untill I pull the batery out. And then I have to wait for about and hour to be able to get my phone past the vibrant screen.
Ive been using this rom for 4 days now. After I flashed this rom I flashed a kernel from eugene one tht said tht it will give me good batery life. And ever since I flashed tht kernel I am having this problem.

Besides this recovery mode and download problem, I am also having a lot of drop calls. Like it will drop the call a few minutes after I make a call, not always though.

So I had nero 4.1
Went to flash ginger clone 2
Installed. But phone is stuck on bootloop
So I uzed odin to flash bak to stock
Everything went fine.
Bu not when I go to install the update.zip.... It doesnt seem to install it all the way.
Progression bar moves like a half an inch. Then says it installed.
I do have superuser w.e that **** is installed.
But when I go to flash a rom. It takes me to the "reinstall package screen" which tells me the update.zip did not install.
What can be wrong?
Ive gone bak to stock before. A d rooted again. No problem.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
it SOUNDS like you are trying to flash the ROM useing the stock recovery.....this is a no-no. heres what you do:
1. ODIN back to stock, just to start fresh
2. Root your device, i like to use OCLF app from the market
3. download/install "ROM Manager" from the market
4. Select "Flash Clockwork recovery" (select vibrant as your device)
5. You now have Clockwork setup to be your recovery menu. to access it, just boot into recovery like you usually do, select "reinstall packages"....this will boot you into clockwork everytime.
6. Clockwork is pretty user friendly, to flash your ROM just select "choose zip to install", find your ROM, and flash away! (DO NOT rename your ROM to "update.zip", this name must be reserved exclusively for clockwork recovery...so never rename anything to update.zip, and never delete your existing update.zip)
Now, if you are using Clockwork, it sounds like it may be a corrupt .zip. Redownload the ROM and try again (I would suggest downloading from a PC).
Ty for the quick reply.
Im on the road now so ill try it when I get home

do you mean it has it, but you arent able to use it? it should be the first or second option
------
if its there, but its not available to you, these means you are already rooted.....which is not possible if you ODINed back to stock...........if you need, i can give you the root update.zip to flash through recovery....basically all OCLF does is install the update.zip to your sdcard for you to flash through the stock recovery. then you flash it and it installs busybox and superuser, and youre rooted.
now once you download ROM manager and select "flash clockwork" it will install the clockwork update.zip to your sdcard (which obviously replaces the previous root update.zip, but you dont lose root).
so do you see how this works now?
Ok im coming from an iphone which had them for years. Always had them jail broke & knew my way around them pretty well. Im def enjoying my Vibrant but its like learning to riding a bike all over again lol
I just cant flash any roms what soever. Ive tried quite a few from this site & they just wont install on my phone.
Running 2.2/rooted w/ super one click. I mount the phone, copy rom to sd card. Once I boot into recovery & select the zip file I want to flash, I either get file not found or it will it actually start to install for a moment & then just stop & it puts me back to the recovery menu.
I've searched all over & have tried numerous things but no good results. Any help I would def appreciate it thnx.

If you are on a pc, click the noob guide link in my signature and follow the steps for the alt method.
Once you have that and followed all steps, grab the rom you want and flash it.
I blame the 2.2 mini kies update for a lot of issues.

May not help, but you could try Voodoo Toggle, it is an app in the market.
I did just flash another Voodoo compatible rom and kernel, won't disable. If I odin to get rid of it, I would have to use Eugene's " FROYO that does not brick". Which is a pain in the @ss. The Voodoo toggle no worky. Thanks for the ideas though.

I remember Eugene saying something about this. Some sort of corruption going from stock to Voodoo or vice versa. I can't find it though.

are you trying to disable through cwm or manually adding the voodoo_disable file?
^ Read the OP.
You don't have to use eugenes that doesn't brick... you can, but not sure why you think you are limited to just it? ODIN to stock, root, flash... or use the ALT METHOD in the noob guide.

Times like this in love xda. Thank you everyone for their suggestions. I finally just flashed from th overstock kernel to tiger blood and it successful disable by manually adding the "disable-lagfix". Apparently the problem is arising from disabling through cwm, atleast for me. Thanks again, and the galxay tuner is really nice.
