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.

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.

thank you, ill give it a try soon.
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.
Anyone know if the included kernel in Nero 5 is compatible with the Voodoo sound app? I figured since Team Whiskey used the Voodoo Kernel (red recovery) that it would be compatible. Is this not Supercurio's Voodoo enabled kernel in this Rom?
Its voodoo compatiable but not voodoo sound compatiable we need the us kernel 2.2 source to implement them in regular kernels

Voodoo kernel and Voodoo sound are two different things. Most of available vibrant voodoo kernel doesn't support voodoo sound. If you want to try voodoo sound, install ttabbal's Dragon kernel ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910412
Thanks for the responses and understanding. I understand that there a difference between some Voodoo lags and the work that Supercurio does. I thought I remembered somewhere that if the recovery was red, then it was his kernel. And then assumed that Voodoo audio would work since it was his kernel. thanks again for the responses.
you need to install the dragon kernel from ttabal pool hall
Kind of a newb type question but dont want to waste time flashing and reflashing?
Can a non voodoo kernel be used with ComRom 2.1 or do I have to use voodoo?

either one is ok I believe, if you want a certain kernel grab the ComRom with no kernel and flash your own
tapatalked from my super VZ Fascinate powered by CM7
But, if you're going to stick with a stock kernel you will need this one. So that cwm recovery flash will actually stick. Flash kernel using odin, boot, power down, pull batt, flash cwm in odin, insert batt 3 finger to recovery, flash no kernel rom, boot.
good day.
thanks, not sure if I will use stock kernel yet.
Let's say you flashed the ROM that had the built-in kernel already, can you still flash another kernel like OTBs or do you need to flash the stand-alone/no kernel distribution first? Also, can the kernel in the all-in-one package be OC'd or UC'd?
Thanks!

There is a version of ComRom which comes with OTB 1.5. OTB 1.6 is latest vesion but in not packaged with ComRom.
Yes you can flash other kernels after flashing rom/kernel package but if the new kernel is not voodoo make sure you disable the lagfix first. Also, if you use a non voodoo kernel do not enable the lagfix from CWM unless you flash a voodoo kernel again.
Lastly, OTB allows for voltage and clock adjustments. PBJ kernels are underclocked but I dont believe they are adjustable

Chopper you seem to be very knowledgable and informed concerning our phone. I have one more question I hope you can answer for me. Are there any advantages to using a non voodoo kernel instead of voodoo kernel with lagfix disabled?
Thank you I appreciate your help. I know a decent amount from post about the general rules for flashing/odin/heimdall/adb/voodoo but most threads on forums do not go into enough detail for the reader to know their limits when experimenting.
Thanks again

LOL...I dont post very often so I am still learning forum etiquette. I am more of a sit back and absorb guy.
Someone may come by and add to this or offer their own view and tell me that I'm a douche. But Ext4 (voodoo) does come with a small hit to the battery but offering up faster read write speeds and the other changes that may have been added i.e. bln, sound, uv, oc. Now yes you can use a uv'd voodoo kernel with a "disable lagfix" file in place so that your file system with be rfs (extending battery) but marginally slowing some operations down. Since the new voodoo control plus allows for the sound module to be loaded on any kernel on the fly, I find myself at the moment running comm rom 2.1 with an old EB01 kernel in rfs. And I have been real pleased with my battery over the last 3 days since using the "vintage kernel" in rfs, plus also having voodoo sound is a plus. I really missed how the buttons used to light up with the screen, but ever since we've had mesmerize source kernels the buttons need to be touched to light them up when waking the device. You just need to find your own kernel/rom combo for your needs. But I have never been in any race to have the highest quad score, I just like my device to work with the best battery and stability.
good day.
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.
