Voodoo is a lag fix. It moves some stuff to your memory card to make your phone run faster.

No, it definitely hasn't moved my stuff to my memory card...
It converts the /data partition on your phone to EXT4, which is a far superior file system than RFS, which the phone would otherwise use. This increases your disc I/O speed and makes the phone run smoother.
So is it better then the lag fix that I have now which is the Ryan lag fix from the app that's on the market. The voodoo is on that app but I'm not sure if its a better one especially that its found in the settings under kernal. And I don't have any knowledge about changing rge kernal.

In order to use the Voodoo lagfix you must have a kernel that is compatible with Voodoo. Voodoo is something that you must read about and research before toying with it. I would suggest you go here and read about it. The OCLF app you are using gives you the option to update your kernel to a Voodoo compatible one and installs the Voodoo lagfix; it will also back up your current Kernel. Hope this helped a little. The only downside of Voodoo is that anytime you want to flash a new ROM or kernel or any flashable zip folder you pretty much need to disable it to prevent damage from occurring.

Lag Fix, PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Hey guys,
Im fairly noob
This is my issue
Bought samsung vibrant i9000m
Unlocked it
Rooted it
NOW i want to lag fix.
So, i update the firmware to froyo 2.2 using kies, everything went fine. Then i installed OCLF, but i always get an error saying that there is not enough space in /data to complete this fix
So, i now know that it is talking about the internal sd. Tried to erase as much as i could, but i could only get to around 815megs free, and according to other posts, i would need at least 1.5 gigs.
Erased everything i could ( apps, samsung default apps that come with 2.2 etc)
Still not enough space
SO.....
Tried to use voodoo
The install process says to simply download the file, put it in the internel sd card`s root and rename it 'update.zip' ( yes made sure it was not update.zip.zip) then reboot in recovery and select ' apply update.zip'.
So i did.
I ALWAYS get this ANNOYING error 'signature verification failed, installation aborted'
At this point i want to smash my phone on the ground...but i didn't, cuz i know someone can help
CONCLUSION: im on froyo 2.2, i want to lag fix with either OCLF OR VOODOO, witch ever can work. Please remember i am still a noob, so i cant really try to flash anything using odin yet...
Baseband: JL2.
PLEASE HELP ME FINALLY LAG FIX THIS PHONE!!!!
A way to get around the signature failing is to download rom manager and boot into recovery mode with clockwork mod. It has an option to not validate the signature and should let you finish.

Hey all,
I was just wondering if it's necessary to flash the 1.3 fix. I have been running 1.3 without the fix since the day it came out without any problems whatsoever. I see some are having GPS issues after the fix so I'm a bit weary. Any info would be appreciated!
thanks tons!
You aren't using all the features of the ROM/Kernel if you are not running the fix.
Edit: I didn't necessarily mean features, but all the attributes of getting the update 1.3 won't work as expected.

actually just toss the fix. Go back and get 1.3.1
Everything has been working great!
Thanks guys. I decided to just go ahead and install 1.3.1. I appreciate it.
so i went ahead and installed the ROM. so i went from 1.3 to 1.3.1. but i have this problem. The Voodoo headphone amplifier isn't working. When i click on it it says " Headphone amplifier is not supported by this kernel, please run voodoo control app for more details". Then when i go into voodoo control app it says under voodoo sound improvements "sorry this phone doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls".
Can someone pleases help me out!!!! I really love this voodoo headphone amplifier.
I am having the same issue with Bionix 1.3.1 on the Samsung vibrant t-959. My voodoo isn't working. Plus, I noticed on my friends phone that her recovery menu is red, and says voodoo lagfix, while mine is green and doesn't say voodoo lagfix. Neither of our voodoo apps work and say that our kernel is not suported. Any help?
I have the green recovery when I reboot into recovery from cwm in rom manager. But when u pull the battery out while in green recovery and put it back in and turn phone on u will boot into red recovery. Only way I have seen red recovery

Team Whiskey is the best!
Ok, So I flashed superclean 2.7 and it borked my phone. So I used Odin and the EB01 and PIT files mr.adrenalyne gave us as a fix for the situation. So after flashing via odin, I flashed CWR ALL tar file. Up until this everything worked great and I thought my ordeal was over. I opened root explorer and noticed a file called voodoo saved. So I booted into recovery and it went straight to red. Used to go to blue recovery then I would have to apply update.zip to red. So I checked the voodoo in recovery and it said lagfix and voodoo were both enabled. Im very puzzled by this and really only have 2 questions. How did I get voodoo and more importantly how do I get rid of it? As in total stock no traces of voodoo. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Whats up mike, I followed this method over at the AC forum, It doesnt work. After I disable lagfix and flash a new non voodoo kernel I then go into odin and flash back to stock EB01, boot, flash new CWM all and boom. Back to.voodoo enabled. I think im gonna have to format internal SD card to rid myself of this. Something is off and I cant seem to get of voodoo.

Try adrynalyne's 2.7 fix. There is a tar/odin in there that you should flash. It sounds like a dbdata issue.
After flashing the eb01 all in one, you can flash whatever rom you like.

it does work. you are missing something. if you flash nonvoodoo kernel and you can boot your phone then you dont have lag fix enabled. get quadrent from the market and run it. what is your score.
Ok I finally got it, I took a little trip over to the IRC, where one of the devs helped me figure it out. Turns out I must of picked up a corrupt file somewhere. Ive flashed my phone so many times since DL30 leak showed up I couldnt tell you where it came from, but no matter what I did or flashed I was still showing voodoo. To make a long story short I ended having to use heimdall to go back to the original build, the one before DI01. After that was done I was able to build my way back to EB01. Thanks for the help its all good now.

hi, i tried to search but got no luck, im going to flash back to stock eclair, downloaded everything necessarry (odin, rom and pit) but :
i saw somewhere that voodoo can cause a bootloop if i flash a rom with odin. im now using bionix 1.3.1.
what i did is disabled vooodoo lagfix on CWR, on voodoo control app, it says my phone does not have a kernell that suport voodoo features, so i think im good to go.
can i flash or i need to do anything else so nothing wrong happens?
downloaded voodoo toggle and turned it off, its trustable?
yes. before you flash back to stock make sure there's the disable voodoo file in your voodoo folder.

I am currently running SC 2.9.2 with jt's voodoo kernel. I understand how to disable and re-enable voodoo. My question is if the rom I want to flash is voodoo only should I re-enable voodoo before flashing? Also will it matter if it is enabled or disabled when flashing a new radio or kernel?
I want to use the community rom with the latest voodoo kernel to enable bln, UV, and OC
Thanks in advance for the help!

If you are currently running voodoo then you can just flash the community rom as you are going from voodoo to voodoo. its only an issue when going from voodoo to non voodoo in which you would have to disable voodoo then before flashing a non voodoo rom.

What radio are you running currently? The kernel that is included in the community rom will turn on voodoo but to be safe you can always enable it so that you are sure its enabled.

EB01 obviously I want ED01 but from reading the forums it looks like it is a real pain in the ass to get. Suggestions?
Ughh I might just flash EC01 and see how that goes I dont want to be flashing my phone for the next hour

I followed these directions from adrynalyne. It wasnt bad at all.
So many of us are rooted...so many...
Getting to ED01 isn't easy without any radio leak. So, to get to ED01, so you can get yer bran' spankin' new modem!, follow these directions.
First, we will downgrade to DL09.
Do this by flashing this DL09 package in Odin (pda button, pda button, pda button)
http://adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/
Then, download this EA28 update.zip, put it on your sd card, reboot to recovery and flash:
http://www.multiupload.com/F00OYXVO0K
Finally, download this ED01 update.zip put it on your sdcard, and reboot to recovery and flash:
http://www.multiupload.com/LPI21AP8TD
Then, flash whatever the latest and great cwr 2.5.x is (I've not kept track.) Do not use cwr 3.x for now, imo. You can then flash one of the stock rooted roms, or root yourself via flashing a super user package from cwr.
Good luck!
Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.
Boot first to CWR after Odin, and install Community Rom v1.0 as it contains a kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474
Yeah thats what I was reading going to give EC01 a shot with the community mod first and see how that works out first seems a lot of people are thinking they are similar
yeah not much different at all. I just went to ed01 as i was wiping anyhow and his directions we straight forward but try ec01 then community v1.0 then you can flash v1.2
Thats what I'm going to do hopefully an odin ED01 package comes out I have a feeling EC01 will hold me over until then
Thanks for the help much more confident using voodoo

This link also has good information about voodoo

This link also has information regarding voltage control as the kernel allows you to customize the voltages.
