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

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
V5 custom vibrant
Any suggestions on getting me familiar with Voodoo then? Lol

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.

The chips in our phones are not stable when over clocked.

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.

I flashed nero with super I/O. Now my notification sounds are extinct. I flashed back to odin, fired em up again and everything was fine for an hour and then it happened again. Anyone know the cause/solution to this? And if not, what rom/kernel do u recommend for someone who wants some cooked gingerbread. (dont say eugene, I prefer adw and his is buggy as hell with it, bleh).

I had the same problem. I was about to go back to the stock kernel from TW but installed the JL4 modem to play with it first and my sounds came back PLUS an unexpected bonus...
(see my sig)
Didnt work.

Try reflashing from cwm and immediately after flash eugenes kernel before reboot. Did this on beta3 and v1 with zero issues.
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.
hey guys, ok i loaded the AOSP ish JK2.1.1 official froyo and liked it but i wanted voodoo lag fix on it so i flashed overstock, worked fine but i wanted the stock kernel because i like the feel of it better so i backed up the stock kernel with kernel flasher and than flashed overstock and then after it was done i flashed the stock kernel from this rom and bricked i know how to unbrick i just want to know why it happed or if it can even be done?
If you converted to voodoo, then flashed a non voodoo kernel, you will have a sad panda.
Next time disable voodoo before flashing

Yup. Just Odin back to stock with repartition checked. Then reflash.
After I rooted my phone, I simply installed Bionix 1.3 on it and that was it.
Do I NEED to install a kernel? What does that do exactly?
Everything has been running fine on my T-Mo Vibrant with the Bionix, but would the kernel help in any way?
Thanks.
Read the ROM OP. A kernel is usually prepackaged. Understand your ROM first, then start working with different kernels. Go to the Bible stickied in the forum and you'll see links to all the kernels.
Kernels come with all custom roms. With Bionix roms, they all come with a stock + Voodoo kernel. Its is a stock kernel that has the Voodoo lagfix built in and comes preactivated. Custom kernels have more tweaks and features than the stock voodoo kernels, like Voodoo sound, Overclocking and Undervolting abilities, and more. I advise you research the advantages and disadvantages of installing custom kernels. Until you have done your research about them, i suggest you stay on the stock+Voodoo kernel for now. Once you think you're ready for a custom kernel, please choose one that is up-to-date and was built to work on Froyo roms, like Bali, Bali-X, Bullet, and Immortality.
Okay, so my question then is, with the Bionix them, if I wanted to install Bali 1.8v
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947
Would I just do that via Clockwork Mod, then reinstall the Bionix ROM?
Or would that be too messy and possibly screw something up?
Thanks Mr. Apocalypse
You can flash kernels through CWR or SGS Kernel Flasher (in the market). Thing is, the I agree with Mr Apocalypse, you need to be reading and checking out things or your next post will be, "I bricked my phone, how to I fix it?"
This is directly from the OP of the Bionix ROM thread.
Optional Kernels:
NOTE:
Team Whiskey is not liable and takes absolutely no responsibility for any damages. Overclocking your phone adds additional stress to your hardware, so please understand the risks involved before you decide to overclock. Not all devices overclock the same, so please test the different clock speeds and see which one works best for you. Many times, certain devices will not accept an overclock at all. If you fall into this category, you will have to flash back to a stock kernel.
(all of these kernels have been compiled from official Vibrant 2.2 source code. They are include voodoo sound, voodoo color, and bln support. Bionix-v 1.3.1 already included the necessary apps for these features. Test these optional kernels and see which one works best for you!)

After you flash Bionix, then flash Bali. You can do that in ClockWorkMod Recovery or SGS Kernel Flasher, i prefer to use CWM Recovery because sometimes the app doesnt install some special files that are needed for things like BLN to work. But either way is ok, just dont reflash the rom afterward or you'll be back on the stock+Voodoo kernel
Bali is a great choice, drhonk builds those rock solid.
