I have my phone running axura 2.1, my baseband is t959uvjk6, 2.2 firmware, and kernel version 2.6.32.9. I tried twice to install Voodoo Lagfix using the Update.zip method and after reboot i hear the voice saying compelete but the phone just stays on the 'Samsung Vibrant' screen.
What am i doing wrong ?
Which voodoo are you using? I hope its not jac's oc/uv one from a few months ago. Thats a 2.1 kernel and will never work on a 2.2 rom. Make sure you use one of the ones in supercurios thread for voodoo 5.x

@OP
that will really take some time. how many minutes did you wait? and yeah you should look at supercurio's thread

This happened to me using the one from oclf. My solution was to wipe phone and install nero v3. That worked out. Check out supercurios voodoo thread.

Download kernel + voodoo from supercurio. The thread is here in the dev section or bible.

It was voodoo beta4 I believe.. But I like axura and would love voodoo lag fix.. So what should I install and how?

Hi, I flashed Nero V1 last night and flashed Super I/O kernel just now. But I want to try out Supercurio's JL4 + Voodoo kernel. How do I switch? Do I just flash it on top?
Also, since Nero V1 is JL1, would it be a better idea to flash the JL1 + Voodoo instead of JL4 + Voodoo kernel?
Good question

As long as u havent installed a lag fix u can flash them over the old one

As long as you don't have voodoo installed you can *usually* flash a new kernel over any old one as long as their version compatible (2.2 kernel with 2.2 rom) but go for it.
complete noob. just started yesterday
I have odin installed on my computer but I plan on only using it if I brick the phone. been using rom manager and have so far tried nero beta 3 and then nero v1 and currently downloading nero v2. Is there any advantages to using odin rather than rom manager? rom manager is just so easy it's spoiled me.
also I'm downloading nero v2 right now and this version is with voodoo. the devs said a non voodoo version will be available but that voodoo is faster. why would you not want voodoo than? what are the disadvantages of voodoo? what is voodoo?
can nero 2 voodoo be installed with rom manager?
U can find all this out in the bible, which I suggest reading, but yes u can flash nero v2 with rom manager

I've upgraded my samsung vibrant to 2.2 froyo through kies and got a root for it with super one click but one click lag fix does not work for it and I can't find any other lag fixes. Can anyone tell me how to lagfix my phone again?
Download voodoo lagfix and pick the one that works on your phone, there's a thread about it somewhere in the development section
Ok I'll give it a try

I flashed Bionix 1.3.1 and noticed that there are a few app's (like the bln and voodoo control)
I was wanting to flash the overclocked kernal to mess around with those apps. I've got it downloaded and its on my phone.
Do I just flash the kernal like i would flash a theme or a rom. Do I have do disable anything like voodoo.

Yes, to the first part of your question. No, to the second part of your question as long as you choose a kernel with voodoo LF already enabled.

You got it, just flash it like you'd flash a rom.
Better read each kernel's OP. But you can flash any kernels listed in Bionix-v 1.3.x (overstock.., categorically.., dragon, DOW) on top your ROM's kernel with voodoo enabled without disable it. But if you want to flash Dead Horse kernel, you should prefer to disable voodoo or any lagfixes before, and then you can configure again later to ext4, jfs, or other. Otherwise you may experience strange self reboot, wipe SD and abrupt broken user apps, as i did. Anyway, all have BLN and voodoo sound as you expected.
Good luck.
Thanks all for the info flashed the overstock kernal in like 5 seconds (minus the boot time) with no hiccups
So what exactly does a kernal do to the phone?

Kernel deals with low level operations on the phone - it's like an interface between the rest of the android system and the phone hardware. That's why you need a new kernel for things like BLN.

I have another kernal related question
I want to flash a new rom (trigger by edt) I currently am using Bionix 1.3.1 and i currently have the overstock 2.0 kernal installed
My question is do I just flash the rom over the kernal or are there special steps involved.

Was just wondering of this was possible. A friend doesn't want anything custom on his vibrant but wants the speed of voodoo. Is it possible?

yes, its possible.
He must root though.
He has to root, and install the clockwork recovery, then using clockwork recovery flash a kernel WITH VOODOO and then hes done.
Make sure to flash the correct kernels per firmware.
like..
most of the kernels you see on dev section are for 2.2+
2.1 kernels are on a thread made by supercurio about VOODOO kernels, im on a phone and cannot search so i'll leave it to you.
Pretty sure you don't need root to flash the appropriate stock+voodoo kernel in Odin via download mode.
