Curious if disabling lagfix on the droid charge is a common problem or if others are sucessful in doing this. Had a bag experience disabling lagfix in the past which borked my file system. Thinking of trying the ext conversion again. Anyone have any special methods to disable lagfix when switching roms that would be more sucessful than creating disable-lagfix file in voodoo folder? Thanks

use the voodoo control app to disable lagfix on next boot, that should work but I've never used it myself

All methods to disable lagfix create the disable-lagfix file which is checked by the init script to determine if lagfix is to be disabled.
There is the Voodoo control app that makes the creation of the file convenient and mostly noob proof.
However, the actual conversion is done exactly the same regardless of the method that the file is created.
There are a couple of issues with the actual conversion to be aware of.
The first is that the conversion of the cache partition always fails.
The second is that the data partition is formatted differently than Samsung's rfs format.(4k vs 16k clusters)
Bottom line is that you end up with a somewhat borked set of filesystems.

Would the safest bet be when flashing let's say a stock ROM back on the phone to not disable the lagfix and flash the Pit file and let's say ee4 to have the file system converted back?

yeah EE4 with PIT is probably your safest bet

I see some developers recommended disabling lagfix before installing their package. This doesn't make much sense to be since disabling the lagfix borks your file system.
Try to help me in this scenario. Lets say i'm running gummycharge 2.0 with their included Imo Voodoo Kernel v2.3.2 which has converted my file system to ext4. Now I want to switch to the infinity rom. Can I just do my normal cwr of wiping data, cache, and davlik without changing the kernel from rom to rom? I guess my question is can I use one kernel to run on any rom I want to install or must the kernel be changed based on the rom? I see that the infinity rom has their own kernel but lets say I just want to run the kernel that came with gummy.
Ok so now I want to get back to stock because lets say I have a problem that needs warranty attention. Just Odin the pit and ee4 and my file system will be back to rfs without having to disable voodoo lagfix and bork my system correct?
Thanks for help trying to learn the most I can before switching back to ext4 with my prior bad experience.

yes you got it correct, for the most part roms can be flashed over one another and the kernel will simply stay the same or get updated if its newer... so yes your example of Gummy to Infinity will work, I've done it numerous times myself
second issue of using EE4 and PIT to get to stock for verizon is also correct, it is your safest and most fool proof bet even verizon won't be able to tell it was modded (some people say they can, or look at the sd card for clues but its debatable)
edit: also the kernels are build specific so only GB ones with GB roms and froyo with froyo roms etc.. don't flash a froyo rom over a GB one with a GB kernel running, I think you'd need to disable voodoo lagfix first for that

I have a .zip file that will remove the voltage scheduler if you have any saved on boot. A lot of users are using gingerbread ROMs that uses CWM3 including myself, but unfortunately this program only works with earlier versions of CWM. So I'm looking for a newer zip file that will remove voltage settings or if someone is savvy enough to update the script or whatever it is you have to do, it would be greatly appreciated.. the zip file I'm looking to use can be found in my sig. (schedule remover) ... thanks
cwm3 doesnt have
Advanced options > wipe voltage settings?
all the cwm 2.5 that we've been using for froyo do.
but check this out for converting cwm 2.5 zips to 3.0

Here is the initial release of my kernel. I'd like to have some other stuff fixed/working, but for now, this is it. I've made a lot of changes and I tried to list them all below, but I know there is stuff that I missed. Currently, the only issue that I know of is that the boot animation will be out of sync and may skip on boot. I have currently retained the stock boot animation, but custom boot animations are also possible if people would like them.
Also, while this kernel can work for recovery, I currently have not tested it, so recovery will remain what it is (ie. jt1134's CWM). I plan on testing recovery soon and releasing an updated Odin for it, as well as just having the kernel zip re-flash recovery.
Installation Instructions:
1. Download zip
2. Transfer to SDCard
3. Reboot into recovery, you'll need to have CWM if you don't already
4. Install zip from SDCard and select the zip you downloaded.
5. Reboot and enjoy

NOTES:
If you are experiencing problems, I need detailed info to be able to fix it or help you out. Failure to provide detailed info will mean I'm just going to ignore your problem as user error. Details would be something such as which kernel you are flashing (filename) and steps to reproduce the issue. Also, if you used any other kernels that had the same problem or didn't have the problem.
DISCLAIMER
By downloading and using the kernels, this signifies that you have read this full post and the FAQ before reporting an issue. You also take all responsibility if your phone breaks or your warranty becomes void (which, if you're flashing this, it already is). I offer no guarantees as to anything working, though I try not to release broken stuff, it happens sometimes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install this?
You flash this in CWM. If you need CWM, you can find it here
Can I use ROM Manager to flash this?
If you didn't use Odin to flash CWM, this will not work. Also, ROM Manager is not compatible with CWM when it fully replaces stock recovery.
Can I install this over another Voodoo Lagfix kernel?
Yes. Any kernel that use's supercurio's lagfix can be flashed over any other kernel that uses it.
How do I disable Voodoo Lagfix?
Create a file on the SDCard named disable-lagfix within the voodoo folder (/sdcard/voodoo/disable-lagfix). You can also use the option in the Voodoo Control app (from the market) or the option in CWM Recovery to disable the lagfix.
How do I know if it is installed?
Go to Settings > About Phone and the kernel version should read:
Code:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Will this work with xxx ROM?
This will work with any currently available ROM that is posted here.
Can I overclock with this kernel?
No. Currently overclocking is not supported. I do plan on looking into implementing this in a future version though.
Can I use SetCPU with this kernel?
You can use SetCPU with this, but do not use profiles. If you have problems and are using profiles, I'm not going to try to fix them as profiles do not work properly on any SGS phone that I've seen.
Does this kernel include xxx feature?
If it is not listed in the first post, probably not. To be sure, check the commits to the source on Github.
Can you add/implement xxx feature?
If you can link to what you want added/changed, I can look into doing so. If you just say something like "I want bigger quadz!" with no information about what you want or where to find it, I'll just disregard your request.
I am having xxx issue, can you fix it?
See the NOTES section above. Failure to provide any steps to reproduce your error, or a log of the issue as it is occurring will not get your problem fixed. I need the output from logcat and/or dmesg to be able to fix problems. Use the following to obtain a log (easiest with ADB).
Code:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
adb logcat > logcat.txt
Enter one of the commands and attempt to recreate your issue. Logcat will run constantly until you stop it (disconnect the phone, or ctrl+c). Dmesg will dump the current buffer and end. Try to get a logcat first as it will be easier to capture the error. PM me the files once you've collected them and I will look into it. DO NOT POST THEM IN THE FORUM. Logcat and dmesg may both contain identifying information (like your phone number or email address) so PMing them to me will prevent everyone from seeing this info. If you need help, ask or join IRC.
If you would like something added to the FAQ, please post it in the following format:

If you currently have lag fix enabled, you can only flash the voodoo kernel. If you do not have lagfix enabled, you can flash either kernel.
You do not need to go back to ed1. Just flash the appropriate kernel.

Kernels are almost always independent of the ROM, so yes, you can install this regardless of what ROM you are running (Stock, debloated, something else). If/When we get a non-TouchWiz based ROM, this may change, but for now, you can use this with anything currently available.

I set up novoodoo to try and avoid issues, so if you were on voodoo and didn't disable, the novoodoo should still work, but why risk it if you don't have to?

I recently updated my Captivate to GB uckk4, and was successful in ROOTING it. But I cannot get CWM and Voodoo Lagfix installed. Does anyone have a simple link for a flash for Odin, to install both?
First, questions go in the questions section. (mods have been alerted to move it)
Second, you need to flash a new Kernel that has those two options in it (Corn, Samuri, etc). Make sure you are downloading the KK4 kernel
[KERNEL][KK4][1/23/11] Corn Kernel v7.05 from Source (OC, BLN, Voodoo Sound, ... it does not come with voodoo lag fix, they oped to use ext 4 , ext 2 and RFS formating, read the OP .

No more Voodoo by default. You can still format in ext4 (Voodoo Lagfix)
From the Voodoo Project:
By replacing the faulty RFS filesystem with the Linux-standard Ext4 filesystem, Voodoo lagfix simply restores I/O performance and global user experience of the Galaxy S to what it should have been to begin with.
And the performance level is awesome!

I got 66 hours with no reboots on RC2.
The main differences between CWM 3 and 5 are that CWM 5 doesn't have trouble making and restoring backups (made in CWM 5), the ability to have ADB in recovery and the option to reboot to download.
Additionally, it has most of the changes made after Dec 7, 2011:

Is this the normal message state?
CWM-based VooDoo LagFix Recovery v5.0.2.7
Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled
......................next boot: enabled
Option:
/system lagfix conversion: yes
...................debug mode: no
I show this from a terminal session:
/system ext4 rw,
/cache ext4 rw
/data ext4 rw
I tried to disable VooDoo but it does not disable, do I need to start with VooDoo disabled from version 0.0.2d?
I went back to v0.0.2d and disabled VooDoo, then flashed v0.1.1 rc2. The conversion took place per the voice. But it still shows that it is disabled as above.
Bark, read the OP under Features
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513287
The RC2 version of the kernel forces you onto ext4 (lagfix) since there's no real reason why you should stay on RFS (lagfix disabled).
Not sure why that was confusing to me, but I really appreciate your quick response. Thank you for straightening me out!
Whoops! I heard my phone rebooting as it sat on the table. I guess I'll go back to v0.0.2d.
I'm running stock GB with AS 14.1 and Tegrak UV/OC to 1.2.
I have been running this kernel without any problems whatsoever.
I would check your UV/OC values to see if that is causing the reboot.

Hello JN,
I'm going to chose oc/uv over the latest version of this kernel. I checked my settings and they are as suggested. I guess if the v0.0.2d kernel can tolerate my OC/UV settings and not reboot then I would deem it a tad more stable.
Since I can use the CWM5 version at will, I will use it to do backups. But I will use the v0.0.2d version daily as the OC'ing does make this device snappier. I don't understand the "ADB in recovery" part of the explanation, got to do some reading.
Do you overclock your phone, I would be interested in the setting you use.
Thanks!

Hello JMW,
That is interesting. I wonder if after some time the kernel adjusts something and then calls for a reboot.
I will go back and run the latest again and then give it some time based upon your input.
Thank you.
Common causes for phone to reboot is the voltage governor is too low or just something wrong with it
just for the record Bhudven and Fb nailed the values ;-)

The voltage/cpuspeed 's have not changed between v0.0.2d and latest.
The thing is, I only know of a few people that have any problems and no one has given me or fb any kind of logs to prove there is a problem.

The values have always been nailed. The have not changed.
The only problems I have with this kernel is going from BML (fsr/rfs/ext4) to MTD then back to BML.
I try using heimdall and odin and the only way for me to revert back to bml is using the 'eraseall' command at the sbl prompt (which isn't easy to get to if you don't have the right tools or know what your doing) then one-click with bootloaders. Something wrong with the erase-block-size/page-size with mtd vs. bml. idk, still trying to figure that one out.
too bad i cannot provide logs.
as far as observe it always reboot once after i install the latest from fb....
note: before reboot, laggy
but all runs great after that reboot
i dunno why this happens but I think it a great thing
i just wanna make people aware of it.
damn this kernel diving must be mind boggling thats why I will stick to theme

Thank you for your work, but can you please address why the kernels you released since you disabled Deep Idle and DMA Engines have random reboot issues. Many many people who have reverted back to the 2d kernel no longer have these issues.
I'm fairly sure it's because of init.d scripts messing with the CPU settings and other kernel settings.
I'm going to write a "stability" build of RC2 that just backs up your init.d on boot and wipes the directory. Bet you'll get rid of your reboots until you start messing with Tegrak and OC/UC/UV settings.

I am so willing to submit logs, if I only knew how. I have read thousands of posts on this site and have learned a ton about my phone and how to upgrade it. But try as I may and I have tried, I cannot find a good reference document on collecting logs. I heard some people say I will run a logcat and I have downloaded log collector from the market.
I used to work in the field service arena and it was common that our customers would collect error data for us to use to find their problems, but they would always collect the wrong things until we gave them a list of what we needed and how to collect it. So I am sure that it is my noob searching that has made it difficult for me to throw a lasso around this issue, but if someone would direct me to a thread or give instructions I am sure it would help me and I think maybe some others too.
I would also like to thank the devs that replied in this thread. I'm sure there are better things to do then reply again to the reboot issues some are experiencing. I truly appreciate your time, offerings and effort.
Thx

I have no init scripts, no init.d directory, & do not oc/UV. I have the reboot issue. Bryan looked @ a logcat I took a while back but it held no clues. I'll see if I can find the time to install a kernel past 2d and troubleshoot.

I recently rooted my phone with Tweaked V2.2 (which I'm currently using with Transparent ICS, which looks and works amazing, by the way. Thanks for that!). It does occasionally start to lag over time and the battery starts dropping fast (which, realistically, is probably an app I have on there, I'll need to sort out which one it is later). I'm trying to look at ways to optimize the phone and I have read a decent amount about Voodoo lagfix helping with lag and battery life.
The question I had was, does Tweaked V2.2 w/PBJ come with Lagfix installed or is it something I need to add/activate? I apologize in advance if this is kind of a stupid question or if there's a fundamental understand I'm missing. I'm by no means a master with all this stuff and I'm still in the learning stage of all that I can do with a rooted device.
Thanks in advance!

I apologize in advance if this is kind of a stupid question or if there's a fundamental understand I'm missing. I'm by no means a master with all this stuff and I'm still in the learning stage of all that I can do with a rooted device.
Thanks in advance!

I'm actually wondering the same thing. I just flashed to imoseyon's 4.0 kernel so i could convert to ext4 but im not to sure how? Does it do it automatically or is there anything i have to do? I plan to flash back to PBJ kernel after. (I'm really just trying to get wifi to work w Tweaked v2.2) but my phone is also very laggy as well.
As long as you don't have the file /sdcard/voodoo/disable_lagfix, it will automatically convert to ext4 on first boot. To be sure, install Voodoo Sound and check the options. There should be a lagfix section in the app if you are running a compatible kernel (imoseyon is the only one for GB).
If you flashed the version of Tweaked that is labeled as having ext4 conversion included, you shouldn't need this. You can always check your status by running terminal emulator, and typing 'su', followed by 'mount'. Scroll up in the list and find /system, /data, /cache, and /dbdata. They should be ext4 if you're converted. The rest will still be rfs.

shrike is rarely wrong, however, I'm not so sure that installing the EXT4 version of Tweaked 2.2 will convert you from RFS to EXT4 (not saying that he is wrong, just don't know that is the case). the conversion takes places at the kernel level (I think). IMO's kernel makes the conversion (to/from EXT4/RFS), and I don't think dwith included that kernel is his ROM package (I could be wrong though).
if you want to convert from RFS to EXT4, try my guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763951
but first, make sure which version you have based upon shrike's recommendations.

Yeah he's correct on this. The ext4 zip of the rom, from a /system perspective, is identical to the rom-only and with-kernel zips. The ext4 version does include a kernel (the same as what is in the with-kernel version), but it also includes the tools and script needed to format the usually-formatted partitions as ext4. The only difference between the ext4 and the with-kernel zips is the fact that the ext4 version has the formatting stuffs included.
Oops I made a dumb post.
Thanks for the help. Of course, after the matter, I found a detailed guide on google.If any other noob needs help just search "tonsit ext4" and it should be one of the first results from chargeforums, a post by jco on 10th July, 2012.
