I want a good lagfix. Voodoo screws my sd card on computer and I don't want to mess with it anymore are there any others for Axura that wont usually screw up things

You can download the OCLF (one click lag fix) app from market and apply..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
While Voodoo works very well, it's certainly more complicated than the OCLF. However, voodoo is much more stable IMO. I've never heard of the the current stable version screwing anyone's SD card when used properly. OCLF can do this too and without the file system protection such as what voodoo has (journaling), you may be more at risk for file corruption / data loss. OCLF gets a better quadrant score though so who cares, right?
What version of voodoo were you using? The voodoo author (Supercurio) would likely be very interested to hear of such a defect if you wanted to take the time to allow him to fix whatever might be wrong. However, if you weren't using the most current version of voodoo available to you then please don't waste his time.
That said, OCLF may be the best recommendation for you due to how easy it is to apply even if it's not the best for you device. Myself, I'd choose voodoo everytime and recommend to everyone else.
I recommend voodoo, I use to only use OCLF because its so easy to apply but I didn't with on my Axura 2.2 so I decided to give voodo a try and I love it now

I'm new too the whole rooting deal, but I know I want to. I already downloaded the one touch program or whatever it is. I was really just wandering about overclocking my cpu.
I've read that I will need to install a new kernel but I don't know which one. I just don't want it to change the look or operation of my phone. I like the touchwiz and everything,i just want to speed it up. Does any one know what I should do?
Also if I root will I be able to do the 2.2 update when it comes out?
Thanks for any help I can get.

As a newb myself let me try and help. First off take some time and do alot of research on rooting, flashing roms and kernals. Read, read and read. There is alot of info here. It is possible to mess your phone up if you dont know what your doing. Now thay being said...... Using ryanza root plus lag fix is probably the easiest way to root. If your hard ware locked,well thats another story. And if you want to overclock you will need a custom kernal, remember what I said about reading. Now depending on the kernal you may or may not be able to get the 2.2 when it rolls out. Just take some time and educate yourself, and for goodness sake please make nandroid before you do anything drastic.

Like greggory said, you should check to see if you are hardware locked (cannot access download and recovery modes).
To check:
1 turn off your phone
2 Hold volume + and - and power buttons
3 Keep holding until you see the vibrant screen pop up a second time. Now release ONLY the power button, still holding volume + and -.
4 Keep holding volume buttons until you get to the recovery screen. Then release.
If your phone continues to boot normally, you are hardware locked.
If you are locked, go to the Bible thread and scroll until you see the hardware locked fix. Follow the directions there.
The Bible thread should have everything you need to know about modding your phone.

Thats good its not locked. The bible is a great tool for info. I also read some of the post by bionix , involving custom roms. Check out there website. teamwhiskey.com. Just be sure you make a backup thru rom manager in case you mess something up. This is a awesome forum with alot of knowledgable people. Unfortunately Im not one of them....

It looks like JAC's OC/UV kernel would be the best for overclocking. Does that sound like a good assumption?
Would that change the way phone looks or functions, in terms of regular use like touch wiz?

I like the JAC kernel and no, it won't change anything about the way your phone looks. It'll just run faster
Great. Would you suggest the regular kernel or the voodoo one?
And thanks again for all the help.

I'm still learning too, although I know I'll never really dip into programming. I use Bionix 1.9 with Jac's kernal. I did have a problem with Pandora and the media player shutting off, but after adjusting the min mhz to 400, it hasn't frozen yet. I love this stuff. I just wish I could get an asnwer on how to flash some of the mods in the other forum like the clear notification bar. I posted in Q&A and never got a response. Too bad. I can't contribute, but I would still like to learn.....
So you haven't had any of the lag problems?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok, I guess I'm going with bionix 1.9 with JAC OC/UV voodoo. That sounds like a good tried and tested way to go.

The voodoo kernel has the voodoo lag fix already in it. If im not mistaken.

Alright. Now I think I'm going to use bionix fusion 1.1. Do I need to flash that before or after JAC's voodoo kernel?

From what I've read the voodoo kernel just has the added lag fix to speed up your phone more.

I hear a lot of people having problem trying to remove voodoo. I want to start to install new roms or may be kernel some day. I need to know if the OCLF is the same thing as Voodoo. I don't think I have Voodoo the only thing that I did is the OCLF and there is a button to undo. I'm not sure how safe that is. I have also click that option to change my sd card to ex2 lagfix.
Thankyou,
Denyson
No the oclf is not voodoo. They are two completely different lag fixes. If your fairly new to flashing roms please take some time and read the vibrant stickys.
Sent from my Bionix powered Vibrant
Also the oclf is very safe. Id stay away from voodoo for a while.
Sent from my Bionix powered Vibrant
The voodoo feels better to use, but is much more work for flashing new Roms. Oclf is the best start.

I agree, although I honestly feel there isnt mujch of a different in terms of "feel" however i feel OCLF does faulter at times abit more than Voodoo, but i still use OCLF only because Voodoo does cause ridiculous headaches when flashing/nandroiding, and also adds more steps to every process. OCLF should be your starter kit.
First off I wanna say I KNOW someone's going to catch a fit when they see this question. Most of you guys on XDA are extremly helpful and Im thankful for all the info I've acquired from the forums but someones gotta say it. Alot of guys arent the friendliest bunch when a noob such as my self asks a question that has probably been asked a million times but cant find the answers needed. I kno the same question over and over is annoying but keep in mind everyone was a noob once. With that being said, I want to say I looked for an answer to my question but couldnt find it, so if there are solutions to my problems elsewhere please simply point me in the right direction without replying all snooty like. Thanks. Anyways, heres my question:
I successfully rooted my vibrant and installed Axura 2.0.5 rom without a problem. I love this rom very much but it seems a bit laggy at times. Is there a lagfix already in effect for the 2.0.5 rom? If so How do I remove it? I was thinking about flashing one of eugenes kernal as I heard it works well with axura. Basically I would like to simply run axura and overclock my phone to 1.2 ghz. Any info is much appreciated.
*bump*
need help... anyone?
I noticed the lag as well.. everyone always says runs smooth and its quick.. iv always said bull****.. thats all i ever got was lag.. i tried overclocking all the way up to 1.4, i tried about all lagfixes with it. Iv even tried using multiple lagfixes and an Oc... i couldnt fix it...
So i dont know what to tell you.. just seems some people experiance this lag and others don't. And i dont know of any froyo roms that dont have this on my phone.. best iv gotten with a froyo rom would be probably R13 macnut.. but i still decide to stick with eclair even tho i dont like it as much.. i want froyo but cant deal with lag

Yes, im a noob too in this matter and encountered the same problem as the OP this is a really noob question but do the lagfixes found on the forums work with axura's froyo?
I noticed this same problem, but not to the same degree. The lag i got was very slight. Since I've moved up to axura (final)2.0.6 haven't noticed any lag and that is without a lagfix. Maybe you could try that, it worked for me. Pretty sure the link is still up in the development thread or you could go to his site that is also on the axura thread. Good luck
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll try to look and research some more and see if there's anything I can do to alleviate the lag I'm getting. Lets hope I don't soft brick my phone again!
I actually just installed Auxura 2.1 and applied the voodoo lag fix. It seems to be running really well.
Go here to download Auxura 2.1

From this thread there are also links for the stock kernel, voodoo.zip and disable voodoo. Look under the heading Extras in the OP.

Srry for the question but, is being on Axura Final ok too? Does this have to be done on Axura 2.1? Thx ahead for any answers
Sorry, I don't know if this would work on 2.0.6 as I've not flashed the kernel or the voodoo.zip. My guess would be that it should work.
As always make a backup and store it in a safe place and not just on the internal SD.
OMG thanks so much! Axura 2.1 is sooo much faster! BUT I find that gps does not work. I can live without this feature since I didnt really use it much anyways but is there a fix for this?
Just odined back to jfd, rooted and used oclf lagfix. Question is can I flash from this point or do I need to remove lagfix?

The two top dogs around here imo are bionex or axura. Each have their own pros and cons (barely cons). I'm personal to Axura myself, although im still on nero v5. Been getting tired of redoing my homescreens over and over again. I suggest going into the release threads, found in developmet forum, for the respective roms and taking a look at screen shots and youtube search video reviews.
You really cant go wrong either way. Check out the rom bible thread for more awesome roms.
I would defantly stick with the Auxura rom or Som's Bionex rom, Ive bounced between the two, Each rom has it's own feel, while Axura's roms are ultra fast, The Bionex rom has more Gingerbread feel and smoothness, Make your own decesion, but as the previous poster said you can't go wrong with either of them.
Just a word of advice, get in the habbit of disabling Voodoo each time you flash, I made the mistake once and ended up softbricking the phone and it was a nightmare for me getting it back to stock via ODIN.
Good Luck
Actually, if you already have voodoo installed and the rom you're flashing to also has it, you don't need to disable it. I speak from experience

This is true, but new. It has only been that way for a little while. Also it ONLY is true if you are going from Voodoo 5 to Voodoo 5 (meaning the one that has the RED recovery).

Are you talking about the old One Click Lagfix? I don't think you need to worry about that nowadays in your ICS ROMs, let alone those old fixes even working. I could be wrong, but the lag fixes I know about (voodoo and OCL) just changed file systems from RFS to EXT, and you don't have that problem with ICS ROMS.
PS supercurio's voodoo lagfix is better if you ever go back to Froyo, and almost every custom ROM you see will have a kernel that has it enabled by default.
He's talking about this
RyanZA's lag fix: will it work on the vibrant? **UPDATE**
I don't use it or know anything about it. When I'm on 2.2/2.3, is always use Voodoo.
Yea man, I've honestly never heard of RyanZa's lagfix lol I had to look it up also, and it seems rather....antiquated if you ask me lol
As Wood mentioned, most Froyo and GB roms run with voodoo already enabled, so you don't need to worry about running a lagfix or anything.
I'm not entirely sure about ICS roms, however I can tell you that you most certainly do not want this RyanZa thing.
I remember using oclf at the early time if the vibrant. I only used it back on rooted stock 2.1 though. After that it was voodoo. Voodoo is twice as fast anyways. Regardless I think it was only for samsung roms, not aosp based. Isn't voodoo the same way?
The last time I used it was on the onyx and obsidian roms, back when voodoo caused soft bricks if it want disabled between flashing. Once that got fixed oclf seemed to have gotten abandoned.
Wasn't this method outdated after eclair? I remember using it when the Vibrant first came out but not since.

chimera 2.2 should have very little if any lag. also, don't use ryanza lag fix; i think that only works on eclair. it will mess up your phone. you might as well flash jellybro with devil kernal
