Ive been using Nero v3 for a little while, and Im interested in trying voodoo. Since flashing, Ive installed a few tweaks (some updated apps from SGS tools), and a theme (SGB 2.2.2).
I know its damn near impossible to perma-brick this phone, but is it safe to enable voodoo now that Ive tweaked the rom a bit?
You should have no problems. I've done it a few times on nero v3.
Thanks, Ill be giving it a try later tonight, but Im debating on waiting til the new SBG comes out...
I've made a LOT of changes and voodoo + nero v3 play very well together.
Remember, its a stock kernel so it really is very safe. Just recall to disable before flashing anything unless it too is voodoo'd. ha
Took the plunge, thanks for easing my fear of possible dragons hah
Can you elaborate on what you can flash when voodoo is enabled?

Basically anything but a rom or kernel that doesn't support ext4 FS is safe. In other words, almost anything since most rom developers are packaging voodoo kernels now
So if nero v4 came out with the voodoo kernel I could flash the package and not have to convert to rfs and back to ext4?
^ yes, unless sombionix states otherwise.

So i keep looking at all these threads about Fusion and i am really tempted to try it but i have one question, it seems that it does not come with Voodoo and that i would need to get it from somewhere else if i want it, i have Bionix 1.9.1 with Voodoo and i am satisfied with it no problems. I know Voodoo can be really tricky if not handled properly, so is there any way that Fusion will come with Voodoo in the future?

You can use voodoo with fusion, just pick to use the KK kernal or JACs kernal and do the same steps to enable it as you did the first time. Just ensure you disable voodoo before you try flashing anything.

Why would you want to have so many Lag fixes in first place?
Anywayz, to answer your question. there is nothing preventing you from running multiple LF's on your phone. Just be mindful on what you are doing with your phone and make a nandroid before you do all the LF's
I'm calling a To-Fu'd phone soon...
Just flash a froyo rom and leave the lag-fixes alone!
OK, so running Odex UVJL4 Voodoo Froyo Rom and I want to flash a new Rom Axura 2.2.5.9 Rom what is it going to take for me to flash this new Rom?
Do I need to uninstall Voodoo Lag Fix First and if so whats the best way to do that? And after thats done whats next? dont want to run into any issues! But I want that new Axura 2.2.5.9 Rom looks freaking awesome! Thanks for any help!

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!
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

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.
