Voodoo kernels for the Mesmerize can be found posted in the Fascinate forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871915
Is the Mesmerize kernel in that link significantly different than the one in the Clockwork thread (page 2) in the Mesmerize forum?
is that link to the voodoo kernel good for the USCC mesmerize phones?

done.. working good.. thanks. for all the help from everyone on the forum..
OK I hate to do this in this thread, but I figure since this is the Mesmerize Voodoo kernel thread..
How do I do it? I read that I have to do this in the 3 button recovery? I'm confused about that..I just flashed into the Pick-n-Pack ROM, now I want this kernel. Thanks.

Honestly, the easiest way to get into recovery is to get Quick Boot from the market. This way you can reboot, or get into recovery with a touch of the button instead of holding buttons. I use it all the time since I'm constantly reflashing things.
Once you are in recovery, just flash update.zip to get into CWM recovery. Next pick the option to install zip from sdcard, find the zip file, and install. After it finishes installing, just reboot. It will take a long time to reboot, don't worry. Just listen, it will talk you through what it is doing.

OK, I think I understand, it's just that Quick Boot doesn't work..go figure. I click any of the boot options and it does nothing. What's the 3 button method? I don't mind because I won't be using it too often. Thanks.

Is your phone rooted yet? That app won't do anything unless the phone is rooted.
Yes, unless I have to re-root it after I've flashed a rom to it..and I don't THINK I have to..?

For some reason I had to do that, re-root the phone after I installed a ROM that is. Give it a shot and then your Quick Boot app should work.
I have this kernel installed. My question is, if I flashed a different ROM that would replace the voodoo kernel with whatever kernel the rom is using correct?

If you are going to flash anything, make sure you disable lagfix first. You can do that by either going into voodoo recovery and selecting voodoo and then disable lagfix, or you can put an empty file in the voodoo folder on your sdcard named disable_lagfix.
That said, if you are going to flash different ROM, check to see if it contains a kernel. They should say whether they do or not. I believe that all of the ROM's that are currently available for the Mesmerize are kernel free now. If it did have a kernel, then yes it would replace the one you have installed. If you are unsure and want to check for yourself, all you have to do is use 7zip or winrar and check the zip package to see if it contains a kernel folder in the first level. If not, no kernel.
Thanks. I kind of assumed all ROMS came with kernels, but that is good to know.
When Froyo is released for this phone would you have to revert back to the stock kernel or just disable the lagfix in order to update to 2.2?

More than likely, the update wouldn't recognize your phone as something it was supposed to go on, so you would need to flash back to stock. Unless of course, the 2.2 you get is a custom ROM, which could be possible depending on who gets it first.
Just a quick question, what is the benefit of going to the Voodoo Kernel?
I have rooted the phone, gone to JT's clean ROM, and used the OCLF. The phone seems amazingly fast compared to what it was stock. Part of me wants to do the Voodoo Kernel, just cause its there, but I don't know if there is any real benefit.
Thanks and sorry if this is a dumb question.

Your post helped answered my question so I'll help answer yours. I was wondering if a rom with less apps would help improve performance, reading your post I'd assume it does. Have you tried quadrant to benchark your phone before and after?
I didn't install any other ROM, just the voodoo Kernel with lagfix - and I noticed a great performance boost difference. Quadrant score was 888 before kernel and now it's 1813. I'll post my score after I change my rom as well.
After flashing this I lost my vibrate functions for calls and sms. After a reboot it was fine.

Not a dumb question at all. OCLF is not a true lagfix. EXT2 lagfixes are placebo. They do speed up the phone, granted, and you will get a benefit. But the cost is a huge chunk of your phone's drive. With voodoo, you don't use up precious space creating a buffer. It creates an EXT4 Data partion saving lots of space. If you have Titanium backup, look at your Internal Drive... mine is 1.62GB with 1.39 GB free. and my DB data is 109 MB with 98.2 MB free. I have 192 apps on my phone. When I was using OCLF I had almost no Internal Drive left. Sure my Quadrant score looked good, but my it was inflated. Now, I know I'm getting the benefit of EXT4 plus all of that extra drive space. There really is a true benefit of using voodoo over OCLF. That and you also have added features in the recovery screen.
Hope that helps answer your question.
Voodoo Kernel will work with any rom or? I still have rooted stock USCC.
Instructions:
1) Create a folder on your internal SD card called Voodoo. Then create another folder inside of it called disable-lagfix.
2) Make sure the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Installing Kies is a good way to accomplish this. It shouldn't matter which version of Kies you install as they all contain the same USB driver.
3) Download and unzip Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip.
4) Right click on Odin3_v1.81.exe and run it as administrator.
5) Place your phone into download mode. Do this by powering it completely off and then holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable.
6) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##.
7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5.
8) Press Start.
9) If the phone doesn't automatically reboot after it completes the flash, just pull the battery and then replace it and turn on the phone.
10) You should now be rooted and see the Superuser app installed on your phone.
Optional post root procedures:
-You may want to install BusyBox from the Market after rooting. It's required by some root applications.
-If you would like to revert to the stock kernel after rooting, follow the same procedure but instead use Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip. You will not lose root by reverting to the stock kernel. If you enabled Voodoo lagfix at some point, you must disable it before reverting to the stock kernel.
-If you would like to enable Voodoo lagfix, just delete the Voodoo folder you created on your internal SD card and reboot.
-You may access CWM recovery while using the kernel you flashed to get root. To access it, power off your phone and with the phone powered off hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release.
-You may install my Infused v2 ROM if you wish. Just enable Voodoo lagfix and then follow the instructions titled "Installation from stock or from Infused v1" in my thread. You will not experience the known bugs listed for the ROM like us AT&T owners.

Yep. ## just means some number, any number.
Com port number doesn't matter; hence the ## designation. Your computer will assign whatever I/O port is currently available. May not always be 05. just as long as you wait 'til one is assigned.
ahhh awesome thanks guys! I just wanted to double check =) I'll let you know how it goes !!

Flashing a kernel doesn't erase any data at all. The kernel is what makes the system boot and work, but it isn't tied to your apps at all.
An analogy I can think of is when you change an engine in a car(change a kernel in a phone), none of the CDs in your radio/songs on your mp3 player(apps/data on your phone) are effected at all.

kernel are backend, drivers and such. they are independent of the rom And data. roms can also be flashed without clearing data even in Odin but many devs write scripts that wipe because left over data can cause many issues, especially if there are roms for different carriers and different OS versions available.

Nice to see some other Canadian Infuse Owners!
You guys(and gals!) rooted?
Yupp i agree ! I was wondering where we all were lol. I am. Are you on stock chewy?
sent from my bad ass infuse
yeah am still on stock, waiting for GB to 'mature a bit'. Also looking forward to some OC action with the kernels.
Edit: I was rooted with GTG465x's rooting kernel for a few days , then had a couple days with lagfix on, it was much faster! Back on stock one now mostly because I REALLY missed the accelerometer sensor.
Is a fix for the sensor issue in this kernel possible? Any other known bugs?
Am I right In thinking that its best to stay out of clockwork kernels, and to flash back to e3 for daily driver duty on the phone.
Would it be feasible to get a Rogers Kernel with Voodoo and Lagfix on e3?
Thanks for any help!

I hope this isn't a silly question, but...
If I just wanted to root, and stick with the stock Roger's kernel from the get-go, can I just run Odin3_v1.81.exe and select the PDA_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.tar.md5 ? OR do I absolutely need to have Infused pushed first.

You need to flash the Infused kernel first and then flash back to the stock kernel. The Infused kernel is what does the rooting.
@gtg465x
So this kernel is based on stock Rogers but with root and voodoo lagfix...please correct me....thanks
No the ROOTER kernel is not stock(I believe GTG465x is source, and I flashed it before Rogers dumps were made), but its the way to root for Rogers Infuses. The phone worked fine here on that kernel, sensor issue was only one I encountered, Voodoo lagfix WAS quicker too. Be sure to follow Voodoo removal instructions before flashing back to stock kernel. The stock kernel retains root and restores perfect accelerator sensor function.
I am a USER, not a DEV ,so please correct me if I'm wrong, I have a thirst for knowledge.

thanks.....i read further in the OP that i can go back to stock kernel w/o loosing root. well lagfix is awesome! specially for me who wants stock ROMs....
Ok so am familiar with android, and regularly flash and tweek my nookColor, but this phone is just WOW!
Ditching an iCrap4 for this phone was the best idea I had in a while, and within an hour after buying it I rooted it (had to do other shopping) . But there is so much more to choose from for an actual android device. The thing is I want to stay on stock 2.2.1 for a little while, until I do a lot more studying on roms.
Ok so here are my questions after tearing thru the searches with several different phrases:
1: Can I flash different kernels on stock rom? I keep getting many threads and read thru them hard but can't find the answer. Looking at Community Kernel 8.
2: Darn, reading thru other threads while creating this post fried my brain, forgot what 2 was.
Thanks y'all.
Yes You can! . I have flashed many different kernels on stock rogers infuse 2.3.3 with odin. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to on the AT&T version.
Sweet! Now to read up on odin, but will SGS or CWM work on the stock? That was the second question.

SGS kernel flasher works fine on stock ROOTED 2.2.1 ROM. I believe CWM is flashed/installed when you flash the community kernel in SGS kernel flasher or other method. I can't remember off-hand as it's been a while since I was on stock froyo for any length of time. LOL.
You will probably also want to read up on Heimdall as well. It's a good method of flashing pretty much anything to your phone and Odin can be finicky sometimes. Personally, I've never had a problem with Odin but knowing how to use both is a good idea. You know, just in case.
Even sweeter then, and I have CWM already, so that will get replaced? No problem.
This is gonna be hectic keeping all the stuff for the "andros" seperate. lol
I'm really itching to flash a rom, but this thing is set up like I like it, and it was a pain getting her there.
That is why I am waiting to flash, I'll get bored with the way it looks in a week or so, and start over.
Plus RESEARCH is crucial.
Thanks y'all
Ok flashing community v8 now and this voice is telling me it has 5 mins left, oh that is cool!
Now how do I tell if it took? What should cpu spy say? And I still have the green CWM. ( using rom manager, think its ok but can I switch it?)

I don't think rom manager does us infuse owners any good so you can install it but I've read it doesn't work all that well with our phones. It worked flawlessly with my n1 but support for infuse is not there yet.
I've never been able to mount the SD card in red cwm if that's what you were referring to. The community kernel does not overclock so really you just take advantage of the ext4 fs and voodoo lagfix (robot voice lol).
Hope this helps.

if your on stock i believe they are located somewhere else, but the main question is why are you still on stock??? :O
want good battery life and performance? CM7 is the way to go. yeah you can get prolly the same off infused or other roms, but thats after numerous tweaks, tweak this change that, tighten that up, loosen that up, delete that, add this blah blah blah. in my experiences, CM7 is the best out of all of them.
just my 7 cents.
Is everything (bluetooth) working on CM7 (HDMI doesn't I know)? Weird issues of any kind?
That or Serendipity are what I am looking at.
Bluetooth is the only buggy thing. But I don't use it so it doesn't bother me. Other than that its amazing.

If the bootanimation.zip isn't in system/media try data/local. I don't currently have an infuse, in waiting for mine , but other phones I've owned have had the zip in data/local... Good day
Tried data local, but I think the only way to get custom is to have a custom rom. No boot.zip on phone at all using a searcher.
it has to kernel enabled too... Once you get on CM7, if you do, it will be in the media folder.

Tried that too, no luck.
So Im lookin at S7, but coming from stock ROM, with infused 2.0 kernel, I know I need the infused GB kernel after flashing the ROM, but do I have to wipe system and DATA, and start customizing my stuff again? Or just format system, cache and dalvic, flash rom and kernel, fix permissions, and go? Then my phone should be the same with all stuff there, just updated to a better ROM.
My phone (as of this morning) has gotten into the habit of restarting every five minutes. It's slightly annoying.
Any advice or help?

Read the guide in the second link of my signature to help you with the One-Click and Driver issue. The screenshots in the VB thread are from an earlier release. You can customize whatever you want with any ROM by using a different launcher and themes for the different launchers in the market. The launcher is a small part of the ROM itself.
GoLauncher EX is what I use and is VERY customizable.

That's Heimdall, which uses open source USB drivers vs. the Samsung ones. You may need to uninstall the Samsung drivers because they have a tendency to conflict with the Heimdall ones. Also, try a different USB port as that sometimes makes a difference for people.
Ive used Heidlman before. It won't find any drivers this time. I followed the instructions to install the drivers and that part of the program does not recognize anything from my phone.
Also, the screenshots are not the release we are downloading and need to be changed. (my main gripe is with the contacts screenshot as that is not something that can be easily changed in another app/launcher) [but again, thats not a discussion particularly for this thread]

I use GoContacts from the market which includes a dialer. Themes for that as well.
And I am going to ignore your complaints instead of gratitude for somebody taking the time to make a badass ROM for all of us. If you think something should be done differently build your own ROM and do what you think is best.
Hello.
I recently bougth a SGS4G, it came with the original 2.2.1, and every thing worked fine.
I started to read about de updating the rom and got interested, after reading, I made de update using the one-click metode. I used the Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar, it all went just fine, the phone run smoth, but when I tried to turn on the wifi connection every single time it gives the error message.
Does any one have any ideia on how to solve this problem?
Try it again, you may have had a bad download.
What error message are you seeing?

No its not a bad download. He used my oneclick and wifi is broken because blastoff uses the bcm4329 module.
HrCorreia use the kernel in this thread. Just flash it in cwm. Your wifi should be fixed after that. If not post back and Ill see what I can do to help.

When I try to turn on the wifi connection, it always shows the message saying "error" on the connection status.

Its all gravy man, I just happened to notice the name of the one click he used. Its was the one click I created to get root plus stock for coming back to stock. Ive known about the broken wifi I think I even spoke about it in the OP.
Thanks to all who tried to help me, and in fact realy helped me.:laugh::good:
I hope this topic manage to help others.

Eollie - did you ever update the OneClick?
Just curious because just tonight I flashed your OC... or the top one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Downloaded it fresh today. "Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2.5 kernel)"
Anyway, the wifi wasn't working. I flashed AntonX's BwaT kernel to get it back.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Related: I would've loved to flash straight to Valhalla Black but even though I found a post where VB built an experimental One Click for that, I couldn't actually find a JAR anywhere. Am I missing something here too? Apparently FB isn't accepting PMs....
I'm not sure why you're looking for one-click installers for everything. The typical way to install is using a zip in recovery. You should be able to find a good selection of ROMs and kernels that you can flash from the recovery that it sounds like you already have installed.
The one-click installers are generally when you have things so hozed up you need to get back to a relatively clean, know state. They generally aren't for getting a fully functional phone. Your WiFi problem is likely the driver that matches your kernel not being installed.
FB is around from time to time.
In general, I wouldn't hold your breath on anyone updating software from a couple years ago. Older projects eventually get archived or deleted as each ROM build you are working on can take 50 GB or more.

Phone was super hosed. Would not restore a Nandroid backup.
A VB one-click would have been fastest.
Would gladly try a newer ROM but my wife and I use wifi-calling every day - until and unless somebody with a newer ROM figures that out, we're on GB.

Gingerbread is cool, especially if you need the proprietary WiFi calling feature. Several of us have poked at those bits and they aren't very happy with anything but the ROM they were built for.
You'll typically have problems if you flash a kernel through download mode "over" an existing ROM. Download mode is partition-at-a-time so it can't, for example, update kernel modules on that are on the same partition as the rest of the ROM.
Lots to pick from once you have custom recovery going.

Back to the original question though - did Eollie or anyone update the kernel in the Rooted/stock one-click so that Wifi works? Maybe it was just a fluke that it didn't work for me?
(I'm asking for the next guy...)

...downloaded 24 Feb '14, but wifi didn't work afterwards. Had to flash the BwaT kernel.

And done. The second post has been updated with the new oneclick.
This fixes wifi and removes the csc update. Enjoy!
(note, after rebooting it does go to recovery, so you can flash after oneclicking)

I see. Maybe he just made it boot to recovery instead so you still have to reflash the kernel.
