Well, been unlocked nd perm rooted for a day now. But since I have been, Setcpu constantly ask for superuser request every 5 to 10 minutes .. I don't know what to do to fix it.

Tried to re-perm root, uninstall setcpu, use an old backup through titanium...i have no clue what else to do

Have you tried fixing permissions through recovery? Give that a shot if not.
That I haven't tried yet, due to the fact that I'm kinda weary of flashing anything else, considering that Setcpu, or maybe it might be superuser, isn't working correctly. I don't want to be 24 hrs rooted, and then bricked.

If you have the stock kernal still, it is prop protected. U gotta flash an un protected version of the stock or use Ziggy's amazing moded kernal

Rooted, unlocked, set cpu installed since with no issues on stock kernel. Have changed governors, min/max speeds, rebooted, etc., and it is still sticking.
Thanks to all, I just uninstalled Setcpu and reinstalled with a different version from the xda forums..... Its holding a lil better.. uh... As I write this it asked for permissions twice. I have to figure something else out. I don't wanna flash a New kernal until I figure this out. Maybe its superuser...idk

Funny I'm having the same issue. I'm unlocked, perm rooted, flashed ziggys. Setcpu asks for superuser while I'm playing around on my phone. Did everything by the book. Don't get what's going on. Just gonna uninstall setcpu for now.

I was having the same issue. Installing Rom Manager and using the "Fix Permissions" utility fixed it. And unlike everything else in Rom Manager you don't need Clockwork Recovery to run it. It will take a while to run though, and remember to restart the phone after it finishes. Hope it works for everyone else
EDIT:
Spoke too soon. It seems to be working better, but it's still asking for root every now and then.
I'm starting to think it he noting to do with Setcpu, and maybe either superuser, or maybe my permroot, is cutting in and out, sorta like a temp root.

Thanks alot ministroni! I think that did it! Not one "permission" notice since the going through Rom manager and selecting "fix permissions". I always do a fix permission when flashing a Rom or kernal, but when I first perm root. And to have it acting so weird, I was hesitant. I didn't want to go andscrew it up even more especiall since I didn't have a recovery installed. But you were right. Thanks a whole lot! Much appreciated!
Edit: to good to be true. It went back to its old ways. I'm stumped. I installed Amonra and did a band b-up. Now Setcpu is back to not holding with superuser.

Let me preface this with: I appreciate the work that Devs do and I'm not ungrateful for anything that has been done. I'm just trying to get some justification.
I'm having doubts about keeping VooDoo mainly because when you create a Nandroid it doesn't backup the Data.
-I used SpareParts before to make screen transitions and animations faster
-I don't really see a huge speed boost from VooDoo
-I feel like my recovery isn't complete right now
-I don't really care about quadrant scores/linpack results because my phone runs fast based on performance NOT based on some numbers.
Thanks for your help
If you don't want it and can't tell the diffrence then get rid of it. Why do you need convincing? Seems like you'd be much happier without it, and like you said recovery doesn't work all the way.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm very grateful for the devs too.
Anyhow, I think voodoo does have better phone performance. I do think the phone is much snappier (compared to before...).
Regarding nandroid, yeah I understand that issue. I totally agree too. I also think "most" of the times of playing around with the phone, I would have voodoo disabled, so that doing something that would crash my phone and would require a nandroid would still be viable. Granted, thats if I made a nandroid backup beforehand (disable VD, nandroid, re-enable VD)
Why do people keep saying "nandroid"? What is that? When I made a backup I just went into clockwork and clicked on create backup. I didn't see anything mention nandroid.

Well I'm trying to get some reasons to keep it that I may be missing. Cause it seems like its a pain to remove voodoo. If I remove it, I'm going to completely remove it, not just the remove voodoo file thing.

The backups are called nandroid backups, because the backup your nand, or memory. For some people it doesn't work correctly with voodoo for whatever reason.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You can make nandroid backups, you just remove voodoo, make the backup, reinstall voodoo.
To remove, you create your disable_lagfix file and reboot. Wait for the uninstall process. Once you're back to normal, make your backup. Then remove the disable_lagfix file, and reboot once more, and wait for the reinstall process.
It might take you an extra 15 minutes, but it sure beats the 2 days it takes to get the phone back to "just how you had it".
As far as convincing you, I have better things to do with my time.. Like the guy said, if it's not what you want, don't use it.

It shouldn't be that much of a pain. From what i understand, voodoo is really only to fix the "lag" of all galaxy variants using a slower ext cache or filesystem by moving the system to a faster partition. I coul be wrong on that. Its supposedly to speed up the phone and reduce lag. If you haven't noticed a diffrence, maybe try an overclock kernal.

Tried that, and no go. Idk what was going on, but I decided to go ahead back to the stock kernel. I'll probably end of flashing back but here is what made me go back:
-I couldn't format my phone easily
-My recovery just didn't feel complete
-Didn't see much of an improvement (could of been that I wasn't on an overclock kernel)

Seriously, if you were able to flash a ROM, and you did it through Clockwork Recovery/ROM Manager, then you are running a modded kernel.
Voodoo seems to be causing some people more trouble than they feel it's worth, so I'd suggest one of jt1134's or Dirrk's non-Voodoo kernels, or Birdman's once it's past the testing stage.
Non-voodoo? I must have missed those. Search is not being my friend. Care to link a guy up? The only kernel threads I can find are their voodoo kernels.

My phone started lagging badly 3 days after the vodoo lagfix...how ironic. When I disabled it, it nearly bricked my phone. Desperate to get my phone up and running, I did a wipe. It killed the phone's internal memory. Had to reflash back to stock and since then my phone has been running really well w/o the lagfix even. Maybe my phone had a bad image like a computer. Not doing anything else to my phone til froyo comes out. I am rooted though.

You could try more cow bell. I heard it's the only cure for some fevers.
I've been semi-bricked three times when I've disabled Voodoo, and I did it right. So I use a non-voodoo kernel now. I'll wait until these bugs are ironed out. Join the irc chat and jt and the other devs commonly post kernel links.
Yup.. Using jt's 1031 test kernel now (novoodoo). Running beautifully.

Technically voodoo hasn't bricked a single phone. User error and then likely a small error in the proccess itself have caused some ugly problems but it can be overcame with a little work

Thank you for this. Seriously though, I've been running jt's voodoo kernels since their release with only minor problems. I've disabled voodoo and flashed other kernels no less than three times without issue. Granted it does take a while to boot after enabling/disabling voodoo. The first few times I thought I screwed up, but it always boots for me.

I think it's a phone to phone thing. Some people have no problems just turning off voodoo when they flash ROMs and kernels. I have to use adrynalyn's voodoo uninstaller and wipe completely if I want to change ROMs or kernels.
Weird.
Yea when I tried to turn voodoo off it took 4 reboots before it took. No issues after that though.
*EDIT* Posted in wrong thread...my apologies
Used the "reboot button" app to disable Voodoo. It hung on "Samsung" for over an hour after robot women said "operation completed" or whatever. i finally admitted defeat and did a battery pull. Restart resulted in a boot loop. I was able to recover following the "remove Voodoo" thread and flashing the stock Nandroid. From there I flashed jt's v.4 Super Clean ROM with Frost's theme. Having had the stones to try Voodoo again but honestly my phone is running good with just the Super Clean ROM. Having a recent Titanium backup really helped get my phone back in order quickly.
While it was an unpleasant experience it ended well and resulted in a nice clean and fast Fascinate. Best part though is that I'm no longer afraid to flash my phone since I now know I can recover fairly quickly.

Yeah, that's pretty much what destroyed any hope I had of *not* being a total ROM-a-holic. I have owned this thing for no more than 2 weeks and have pushed over a dozen different roms/kernels on it.
I cannot even imagine what this poor phone will be going through once we start getting things like Cyanogen's up and running.
(currently using jt's 1031 USCC non-voodoo kernel...at least until I get home.)
First post here, so please take it a little easy on me. I have had my Vibrant for some time, I had not rooted as I didn't fully understand how magic it could be. After some research, I decided I would go ahead and do it tonight, using one click root. Everything is mostly ok and I think that I did successfully root, however, I am having problems with Super User. First off, just about anything I do force closes it, but secondly - and more importantly - I have downloaded a few apps that need root access, like 'shoot me' or 'titanium backup' - both will open, but they dont work, superuser is not popping up like I was under the impression that it would.
I have been googling for some time now and cannot find an answer to this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Try to open titanium backup and hit the problems button to download busybox. See if that does you any good.
Thanks, that did it. The only issue I am having now is that I have no haptic feedback and the phone is moving waaaaay slower then ever

If you haven't already try doing a clean install of whatever ROM you decide to stick with. Then, try running the updates before any titanium backups or anything like that. Also, are you on HBOOT 1.5,4, or 3? Are you using Rev's method of root or HTC's? If HTC make sure you're using the fast boot method when flashing the ROMs as to have a matching kernel along with them. Hope something here helps.
Maybe it is titanium backup. Thats the only things that have changed since the problem started.

I'm running nils business sense 3.6 version 6.2. Because of the problem with the ota update and ra recovery I switched to Rom manager and clockworkmod touch recovery. I installed the touch recovery through the patched Rom manager found in the development thread for the Rom, rebooted into recovery and then back into ICS per the instructions in the thread. The clockworkmod folder is on my external "sd card 2" directory. All seems to be functioning fine with the exception of one thing; the recovery is useless. It reads the folder directory of my sd card, but when I try and flash anything including a different Rom it says "no files found". It sees my sd card, but won't actually see any flashable zip files. Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong or some way to fix this. I don't have access to a computer and need to have at least a working recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. Don't use CWM. Causes funky things to happen.
Install Amon Ra. I have a PH98IMG.zip version on my goo.im page linked in my signature. Place on root of your SD and flash in boot loader. Then you can flash ROMs.
Amon RA and the Rom I'm using aren't fully compatible because of an ota updater that was added to the Rom in a recent update. Most people from what I can see switched to cwm and have had no issues. So switching back to Amon RA isn't something I really want to do.
Anyway, I had a why not moment and copied all my pictures from my external sd to the internal sd and formatted the external card with the erase option on the phone. For some odd reason that worked. I added the zip files back to the external card and cwm actually read them. So I guess my last ditch effort actually worked. For anyone else who may be having this problem hopefully this can be of some use. Formatting the external sd card seems to fix it.

I've got the extended battery and I'm actually getting about an hour more of battery life since upgrading to the latest Rom, installing the cubed kernel, and setting the governor to smartassv2 and installing clockwork. I'm not easy on my phone either. It's my primary device. I rarely use a computer, and use it for my internet too. I use anywhere from 20gb to 100gb in a month. Always have and always will until Verizon finds a way to cut off any way of keeping unlimited.

CWM won't charge the battery with the phone turned off, so if it runs completely dead, you won't be able to get the phone turned on to charge the battery.
Thanks for the heads up. I've got a universal battery charger that I use for that. My incredible charging port died on me so I invested in one to switch between two batteries. Do you know if there is a fix in the works?

Nils, when I installed your patched version of Rom manager I rebooted the phone and the market auto updated Rom manager to the latest version. It seems to function ok from what I can tell, am I ok, or should I go back to the patched version?
Also I noticed that backups freeze often in cwm, but after three attempts it backed everything up. Is that normal?
Thank you for all your work btw. I have always loved all your roms. I either run yours or cm. As soon as I become employed I'll be donating.

Your close.
The ROM Manger in my thread is the last working version. The one in the market has problems just like you described. I would uninstall the one from the market but first mark it to not auto update. Then reinstall the one from my thread and do not update it.
The CWM from my thread is the one you need to install since it has the battery fix. Functions the same as the one RM installs just does not have the dead battery problem.
