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.

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.

okay thats all i needed to know, thanks!
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.

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!
Ok so I just put the Honey Sweet 2.4 Rom on my phone after I downloaded the KA6 Kernel + Voodoo from Here . Now my question is this, Is the voodoo sound already modified to be better or are there settings I should go in and tweak to make it absolutely amazing. Also I want to OC my phone to either 1.2 or 1.4Ghz. I have SetCPU and I want to know what exactly I need to enter to have it up and running. I am a noob at this stuff but I do understand the risks involved with this stuff. I am eager to learn. I did to a search in the android general forum as well as this one and came up with lists and lists of threads that only mention voodoo. Thanks in advance!

Gotta get the VooDoo app from the market....then you'll be able to control the various VooDoo sound enhancements
To OC your phone you need an OC kernel...a stock VooDoo kernel can't do this...so you'll need a kernel like Destroyer of Worlds (DoW14) or Eugene's Dead Horse or Dragon kernel...i think they will come overclocked @ 1.2ghz by default...since not all Vibrants can handle 1.4ghz....check out those kernels and read about them before flashing....i personally would recommend Dead Horse..since Dragon gave me kernel panics and DoW14 was just not for me
EDIT: Misread the OP....just like the post below...stock VooDoo kernels don't come with VooDoo sound...gotta get the ones that say it comes w/ VooDoo sound
Stock voodoo kernels do not have Voodoo sound included you need to use a kernel like Categorically Worthless, Overstock, Dragon or DeadHorse in conjunction with the voodoo control application to utilize the voodoo sound features.
See thats the thing. In the instruction it had me install one of the stock kernels with voodoo first and then after flashing the honey sweet it included a kernal with these features:
"- Overstock Kernel OverStock v1.3, 341MB, Voodoo Sound, Color, Lagfix, BLN(thanks cmenard) Voodoo Disabled by default"
So it now has a different Kernel (I dont know what Overstock kernel is) with voodoo sound and all such.

overstock is the name of the kernel it supports voodoo sound but does not support oc/uv

Ok I see. So I can flash another kernel on there that will allow me to OC? Will that wipe all of my info or no? As far as the voodoo goes should I be tweaking any sound settings or is it already where it should be? Thanks for your help!

as to voodoo sound it has some defaults set but it doesnt hurt to play with it so you get the perfect sound for you. as to other kernels you can flash other kernels but make sure read up on the initial posts by the developer and follow their instructions to the letter.

There wouldn't maybe be a guide to this voodoo control app somewhere around here would there? If not I guess I will just figure it out haha. Thank you for the help I will see what the developer has to say regarding the kernel.

you are welcome, the voodoo control app is fairly self explanatory, if you have issues with it feel free to pm me i just may take me a lil while to reply.
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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.
