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.
Was thinking it would be easy for new people coming to the Droid Charge to be able to download 1 package and get everything you could possibly need (besides kernels) to flash your phone.

Your welcome and once again, good job!
I think the intention behind this is great, but I do worry that including PST, Heimdall, and two different builds of Odin is going to lead to more confusion, not less, for new people. You'd be better off just including one build of Odin and Heimdall, I think.
I'm not sure why people even use PST, as it's just needlessly complicated.

Some people use PST and seem to get it to work better then Odin. I myself have never used it. The 2 version of Odin are for future and retro builds that some of the devs use. And Heimdall was a preference thing. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk to the rest of the devs today and revize the package. v2 coming out tonight.
CHARGE KIT v2 now ready for download.
Update:
latest ODIN
Stock Froyo, Stock Gingerbread.

Like was stated before, the intention is good. You may want to think about having a separate kit for both froyo and gingerbread. I can see someone now flashing gingerbread and the voodoo kernel.

just rooted my phone using this package. it went well used odin newest version with cmw voodoo kn the newest cmw folder and it did good but read that there was no kernel so i wanted to put on the peanut butta one and i followed the directikns but couldnt put it jb recovery mode so i downloaded the clockwork mod off the app store and used the option on that to put in recovery mode but all it did was restart the phone and now it gets stuck on the samsung logo . can anyone please help sorry for being such a noob thought i had it figured out. thanks yall. my email is [email protected] thats the best way to get a hold of me thanks again. awesome site. loving the support
I'm gessing you are trying to get back into "recovery" so hold down vol up + home key + power You will see samsung . Continue holding. It will come go away then come back. When you see samsung the second time. let go of all three buttons. It will finish by booting into recovery. From there use the kernel .zip file that you saved to your sdcard and flash. All set, you now have the kernel of your choosing.
Great idea. You should include the charge PIT file as well.
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.

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.

yes you can, the rom will update your firmware however you'll need to Odin the specific modems (you don't really have to as EE4 modems/radios will work fine but 90% of people on GB say it makes a difference in battery life and reception)

Also, I am thinking of ODINING the newest release of CWM (4.0.0.1.4) before I flash the ROM. I just got the OTA EE4 update from Verizon and it looks like it unrooted my phone in the process. Do I need to worry about any Voodoo issues as far as disabling it before I ODIN CWM?

this is true you don't need to disable lagfix if you're using Odin... if you really want to you can download the free voodoo controls app and set it to convert back on boot then reboot phone before odining

I recently flashed dman's UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned] ROM.
I went back to the stock kernel to get video back, because it is an important feature to me. I read through the entire thread to find all the post-flash fixes.
However it is unclear to me whether I can/should re-enable voodoo lagfix. I am guessing the answer is the kernel will only work with an RFS file system.
The Infuse did seem a bit faster before I disabled lagfix.

I actually read through much of the Zeus thread, but wanted to try something a bit less intimidating first.
I don't care about HDMI. It is a pain to use with the Infuse anyway. Video playback a must for me though. I put the ROM's kernel back on the phone last night to do a nandroid backup. I'm going to flash Zeus tonight and try it out.

Thanks for this. I had the same question. After a considerable amount of effort, I managed to get Dman's rooted etc. stock UCLB3 ROM going (using a combination of methods!). Voodoo Lagfix was amazing. Not only did the system seem smoother, but my wifi was amazingly fast. I'd love to switch back to Voodoo Lagfix, but if I can't film or watch vids, I can't (I don't need HDMI though). Would you recommend flashing a different kernal to get similar performance results but with video? I've noticed that you mention Entropy quite a lot. As interesting as the custom ROMs look, each one is missing a feature that I need!

If you want to run dmans rooted stock, IMO, the best way to run it is with entropy DD kernel. The latest is not yet available yet, but the 3.4.2012 is available without hdmi.
Flash the ROM. Download the kernel. It's in cwm flashable format. Flash the kernel in cwm.
Boot into recovery. Go to voodoo menu. Check the lagfix status. If it's already enabled, you're done. If it's disabled, you need to toggle enable next boot and system file conversion on.
Reboot and voodoo conv will take place.
If you cannot access the extra micros, you'll need to edit the vold.fstab file

Boot into recovery. Go to voodoo menu. Check the lagfix status. If it's already enabled, you're done. If it's disabled, you need to toggle enable next boot and system file conversion on.
Reboot and voodoo conv will take place.
If you cannot access the extra micros, you'll need to edit the vold.fstab file

Thanks! I'll give it a try. This info may be up somewhere else (and if so, I'll find it): can entropy DD be flashed from SGS Kernal Flasher? Also, Voodoo is currently disabled (following the instructions from Dman). Would it make a difference if I enable it before flashing entropy DD?
One other question: would it be bad to use your entropy one-click package on the rooted stock?

Yes. sgs kernel flasher is fine. Make sure the kernel is in zip format.
Don't enable voodoo until you are on DD.

Done! Thanks for your help.
Edit: Just stopping by to say that this combo (DD+rooted stock) has been working brilliantly! I'm a big fan now of VooDoo and entropy's DD. I'll be dropping some coins their way.
I have latest dd kernel in revolution
