Should i flash the STOCK JK6 Kernel from ROM MANAGER?
I've heard a jk6 makes your battery last more...
I'm also wondering what a kernel actually is, and what it does?
can someone guide me? i'm new to this whole KERNEL thing.
Also i do have voodoo installed.
The kernal is the modem for your phone. It basically comes down to which one you like best. I am running Nero V3 with the the JL4 and the battery life has been good. Some say the best for battery life is JK6 though, although the signal strength will propbably be a little lower than the newer ones. You can flash these through clockwork, just download it and flash it just like you did the rom. I ran both JL1 and JK6 with Axura and both worked well for me.
ALSO, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO DISABLE VOODOO TO FLASH A ROM SO TO BE SAFE I WOULD DO THAT BEFORE FLASHING THE MODEM TOO. I don't use voodoo, so can't say for sure if you would have to disable just to flash te kernal, but it would be a good idea to disable just in case.

Hi peeps... i've tried a bunch of roms on this site and i love the level of personalization that each brings to the table.. my question is, what is the best combination of 2.2 rom, kernal, and modem for responsive speed and decent battery life.. a part of me wants to odin to a stock rom and never have a problem... but that would get pretty boring!! thanks for your help in advance..
Either:
Eugene Ginger Clone + voodoo JL4
OR
Nero V2 + voodoo JL4 (this is more like what you are used to)
EVERYONE will give you their own biased answer, so here's mine
This combination is super fast as well as pretty good battery life + some 2.3 goodness:
Sombionix's Nero V2
JL5 Modem
Voodooo kernel built into Nero v2
Lightning fast plus smooth and nice life.
thanks for all of your advice!! i will flash Sombionix's Nero V2 today with the jl5 modem and see how that works for me... i'm currently running eugenes ginger clone r2 with oclf but it lags a bit and i really miss the power controls on the taskbar.. very handy.. thanks again for all of your responses

I found (at least on my phone) that Nero V2 + Ryan's OCLF 2.0 was leaps and bounds snappier and much higher Quadrant-wise. Remember, scores alone won't always translate into a more snappy feeling experience.

You don't necessarily need to disable voodoo if you go from a ROM with Voodoo 5.x enabled kernel to another ROM that utilizes Voodoo infused kernel. I've done it jumping from nero beta v3 with supercurio's jl4 kernel to nerov2+voodoo jl4 to nerov3+voodoo jl5. However, it is recommended to ODIN back to stock before jumping from ROM to ROM. It is also suggested to disable Voodoo just in case, I am just playing danger ranger

You can do that as well
EDIT: just remember to boot into CWR via the power menu and not from the ROM Manager
installed fine! its freaking awesome. lighting fast and no lag!
Hi guys I have my samsung vibrant on stock(2.2) right now it is all rooted and everything i just wanted to be sure that it was safe to use voodoo on it but still keep it stock and particularly what version to use. Thanks ahead

You can mix match. It won't hurt anything. I typically flash jl5 kernel with voodoo on most roms.

and this said , you are responsible for his phone from now on ha ha ppp
Mix and matching doesnt hurt anything aas long as you mix and match correctly. Dont mix and match 2.2 with 2.1 or vice versa.
As many of you might see, I am still on DJ05 or 2.1. It's been running great all this time, but I'm seeing way too many apps that are only meant for 2.2 that I really want to try. So I was wondering, can I flash a Voodoo Froyo Rom over my Voodoo DJ05? That is, after I flash the modem of course.
Anyone?
As long as you wipe everything yes

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.
