They say it's a good idea to undo the lagfix before flashing a new ROM (is that so?). How can I undo my lagfix then? Unfortunately I don't recall what lagfix method I used.

That's one of the various reasons why you shouldn't have used one in the first place... *sigh*.
Go into the "about" screen for your phone and see what it says under firmware. If it's voodoo, you'll see something like #voodoo. Likewise, you'll see a voodoo folder on your sd card.
I also wanna know how to completely remove voodoo and its kernel

You can disable voodoo by creating a folder called Undo voodoo or something, its on the developers site. Problem is you can't permanently and totally remove them without a flash. The reason I have not done a lag fix..... I did and it killed my market, so Samsung reflashed it for me stock rom.
you have to create a folder called disable-lagfix in the folder called voodoo in the internal sd card. Then reboot.
Also, to have it disabled you have to leave that folder there until you flash a new kernel, or else it will go back to ext4 partitions on next reboot.
Oh, and market problem is not related to this at all.

I rooted my phone, market was fine and bootup screen was fine. I applied the one click lag fix and BAM I lost the S bootup animation and my market would deny me access as my phone was not "provisioned" or "privileged" to access the market.
its not the lagfix's fault that you lost your market...

I had the OCLF 2.0 lagfix installed for a while now... Today I decided to unroot my phone.... So I ran OCLF again. From bottom to top, I began reverting back to the previous unroot state. However, both the install and remove lagfix options was disabled (greyed out). It said no lagfix appeared to have been installed, even though it was. So I unrooted my phone. No issues but now, how do I know what file system is being used ? I want to go back to the official RFS filesystem, and not use EXT3. Also, I noticed that before rooting and lagfix, I had around 1.5 GB free space in my ROM. After lagfix, it was around 600 MB. It is the same now. Please advise... Thank you!

I am sure there is a solution but I ended up restoring from recovery a nandroid prior to that fix. The 1.0 fix on that app. Works fine I will stay away from 2.0 for now

So you're suggesting I should just go ahead and do a factory reset ?
after the factory reset
if you have the 16GB version, you should see 13.8 GB free space

I'm not talking about internal sdcard memory, but about the 2GB ROM. OCLF reserved ~700MB of my ROM to apply the lagfix. After that, I was unable to uninstall it. What I want is to:
1. Get rid of the lagfix
2. Recover lost memory
3. Revert to RFS filesystem from EXT3 (or whatever it is that OCLF uses..)
Bump... Please help!
U have to flash ur firmware thru odin again as that is the only way out. U cud try factory reset first.
Oclf dint install correctly, hence u have this issue.

Thank you! Guess I'll do the factory reset when froyo arrives, just before updating to froyo...
You can root, then delete the /data/oclf folder manually to get your space back.
Finally, unroot again. 5 mins max.

Thanks! I'll try this now... Hope my phone won't get jacked by manually removing OCLF like that ? If it wasn't properly installed in the first place, wouldn't that mean there's still a chance I'm on the OCLF ext3 filesystem instead of stock RFS ? How can I definitively know what FS my phone is currently on, so as to know if the OCLF is still in effect or not ?
Do a few runs of quadrant. If it's under 1000, it's on RFS. If it's over 1500 (1700 really) you're on ext2

Well, the phone scored ~870 ( isn't that a bit TOO low ?) in quadrant. Guess I'm on RFS after all... Will go ahead and scrap the OCLF data now.. Thanks!

Yes, that's the one.

If the system is using RFS, it should be okay to delete the file. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to reflash your firmware, but i highly doubt it'l come to that.
Deleted. Thank you guys!
I am thinking of putting Voodoo lagfix on my Captivate running 2.2. Before I do, I want to know if there is an easy way to remove Voodoo. Any help is appreciated.
Simply put an extensionless file in the Voodoo folder called disable lagfix, reboot and you will here the robot lady converting the files back. When you want to enable Voodoo again, delete the disable lagfix file.
Thanks for the reply, but I pretty much have no idea aghast you mean. I am basically a noob who has become proficient at following directions to flash roms, but there's about it.
If its not too much trouble can you explain what you mean about the extensionless file?
I'm going to keep searching the forums. Thanks

No problem, I was a noob too, seems so long ago although it isn't.
Just connect your phone you your pc and mount to your pc. Then browse the files of you internal sd card find the voodoo folder, then open it, then create a new folder inside the Voodoo folder and name it disable lagfix. Safely remove hardware from your pc and then unmount the phone from your pc. Reboot the phone and you will hear the robo lady's voice converting the data files back.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

You should be able to. I was always able to backup and recover every ROM I ever installed, as long as some version of the same ROM is installed.
In short, if you install a different ROM after u take backup, please install the original version of the ROM, and then restore from backup.

I thought flashing stock over voodoo = temporary brick. I thought you had to disable voodoo prior to One-click back to stock.
For some reason, disabling lagfix does not work for me. I am new here and I began about 2 days ago by flashing Assonance v5.0 to my Samsung Captivate. It's really nice and I love it a lot!!!!! But like some of the users who flashed to it, it's kinda using up my battery. So I'm taking up a suggestion to install JL3 Modem + xCal 2.1.1. First though, I must disable lagfix.
I reboot into Clockwork recovery and go through the steps: (advanced SpeedMod ULK features>LAGFIX options>Disable lagfix) Then I reboot, then click Restore with Backup. I have done this about 3 times and it doesn't seem to disable. I am assuming that it will stop displaying "Disable lagfix" once it's disabled and display something like "enable lagfix instead". So maybe it really has been disabled? idk, thanks for the help so far, I've been really impressed! Also, somewhere in the process, I lost all my apps, configuration (accounts, sync), and contacts. But I have those backed up so no worries about data loss.
Here are my old posts in the Assonance thread, but I felt like I was hijakcing it with my "can't disable lagfix" hijinks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877&page=204
Sent you a pm. I think it its disabled but you do not realize it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I had a felling that was the case. Was just waiting for someone to say, "oh it does that all the time". Well I might try it when I get out of work. What would happen if I flashed the modem thing without disabling it first ...
Worst case you get stock in boot loop and have to flash stock with odin. I do not think out is likely though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well, I flashed both of them and nothing really happened ... it booted as normal. I guess it has been applied? Is there anyway to verify. Otherwise thanks, I guess it was disabled ... just wanted to make sure I suppose.
Look for a folder on your sd that says voodoo.
Go to settings, about phone, baseband. What does it say.
Boot back into recovery. Does it bring you to a blue lettered recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes recovery is blue, there are only four options. I got there by pressing "go to recovery 2e" or something like that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You have the new kernel.
You should still have the update zip from rom manager saved to your sd. If you do not open rom manager and flash clockwork recovery. When in the blue menu select reinstall packages, will have to do this twice, should bring you to green clockwork recovery. You no longer have all of the same options in recovery.
To disable your current lagfix navigate to your voodoo folder on your sd. Create a folder inside named disable-lagfix. Reboot.

I've been using it all day and it works extremely well. I do believe my battery is much better now, even after a car trip with GPS. Sorry I can't do the quad band test ... should've done it before switching kernals. Thanks though, you helped me a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Hi, I'm now on voodoo 5, and want to upgrade to 2.2.1
do i have to removed /uninstalled voodoo before flashing?
and how do i do it?
Thanks.
Yes you need to. Create an empty folder named "remove lagfix" in your /sdcard/Voodoo folder and restart your device. Check the Voodoo docs for more info.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for the fast reply.. i now using your above method..
But how to check that voodoo 5 is completely disable from my SGS??
Thanks in advanced..
Let's say, for the upgrade it is disabled enough this way. After restarting your device your SD will be converted back to its original format so that the kernel in 2.2.1 can access it. Check the Voodoo docs for additional info. It also describes ways to completely remove it. I am quite happy how the phone works with the stock 2.2.1 without the Voodoo fix. I did re-root the phone though.
That's very helpful.. Can u give me the link for voodoo doc?
I'm thinking about flashing to 2.2.1 after make sure to removed voodoo 5..
Thanks.
Please check:

Crystal clear, but now my SGS doesn't recognized kies,
have to find other kies solution this time..
Thanks alot..
You don't have to remove it before upgrading, it keeps all partitions as ext4 or odin will reconvert go rfs. Also you can check to see if the lagfix is enabled from the recovery menu, vol up, home and power on.
