Hi
Galaxy S, Froyo, Voodoo kernel:
I'm thinking about disabling Voodoo to try OCLF and see if it is faster. Therefor I wonder a few things.
Does OCLF work with the Voodoo kernel installed?
I understand I just create the file/folder voodoo/disable_lagfix to disable the Voodoo lagfix, but how do I get it back if I don't like the OCLF? Just remove the file/folder and reboot, or is it more complicated then that?
And lastly: Any thoughts on which is better? OCLF or Voodoo? My Galaxy S isn't superfast with the Voodoo, thats for sure.
Thanks
Decided to try.
Downloaded the remove voodoo-app, and disabled it with success. Back to RFS.
But when I try to install OCLF I get the message: "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 les than 5KB)"
I therefor tried the "Restore boot animation"-function, and it says success. But still I get the same message when trying to install OCLF.
Help!
Can't someone please help me!
Just put voodoo back on in my opinion.
But if you MUST try it you might have to put a stock kernel on. Isn't there some oclf option that refers to that playlogos file or whatever it is?

I need to find out if I can install OCLF 2.2 over Voodoo 5 pre6. If yes, do i need to disable voodoo first?
Am I also doing it in the correct manner? I already have Voodoo 5 flashed to my phone.
Lastly, if this is indeed possible, what are your feedbacks? Did SGS improved? Did it lag again after several days?
didn't work for me. got a black screen once it loaded up. probably did something wrong but you could try it and report back here.
I was trying to disable Voodoo to try OCLF(not happy with speed with Voodoo)
So I downloaded the remove voodoo-app, and disabled it with success. Back to RFS. I'm using Froyo JPA Samsung official.
But when I try to install OCLF I get the message: "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 les than 5KB)"
I therefor tried the "Restore boot animation"-function, and it says success. But still I get the same message when trying to install OCLF.
I have also tried to manually delete the playlogos1-file, but it seems to be coming back immediately.
Help!
Another case of not reading BEFORE applying stuff to the phone?
Usually to disable Voodoo you create a folder named "disable_lagfix" in your voodoo folder.
Then reboot to get back to RFS.
Talk about not reading??
I have already disabled Voodoo.... The problem is installing OCLF again..
Obviously something is still recognizing it as ENABLED.
That would have been worth a try.
Otherwise do a full reflash.
Mate, if you read the remove voodoo thread, it isn't the most stable app..... i'd contact that threads originator for advice.
Fwiw, I've used them both, now using voodoo with darkys 4.1 rom.

The only way to truly get rid of Voodoo is to reflash to a stock Rom. Even with it disabled it may have some effect on your phone and it definitely doesn't play well with OCLF. I would suggest flashing using Odin and then reinstalling OCLF---that's what I did.

I have just flashed a lag fix onto my phone, and tested it using Quadrant, only to find that it's around over 800 less than what I was getting before.
I had Eclair on my phone, with a lagfix, and qudrant gave me well over 2000 for a score, now with Froyo and a lagfix, I only get 1200..
How could there be such a big difference? I used SpeedMod Froyo for the lagfix on the Froyo version, but I don't know what the name was for the Eclair version..
Is this common? That froyo would be slower than eclair with a lagfix?

SpeedMod is the kernel, not lagfix (if i'm not mistaken).
Lagfix refers to universal lagfix by sztupy or voodoo by supercurio.
I might be wrong
Oh right.. Am I able to install a lag fix as well then?? There is talk about lag fixing in the SpeedMod thread, so that's why I assumed it was a lag fixer..
yes you can, For supercurio's Voodoo,
http://project-voodoo.org/
For Sztupy's Universal Lagfix, you need to refer to the post in xda. Mine comes with Doc's custom rom.
Oh wow, so if I'm getting 1200 without a lag fix, then it should go pretty damn nice when I do apply one. However there were options for a lag fix in the boot menu, and I have applied those already...

You need to activate the lagfix in SpeedMod kernel. Reboot to recovery, go to lagfix option (or something similar) and choose your lagfix schemes. I recommend the "No-RFS EXT4". Try not to use JFS lagfix since it is known to be quite unstable.
After enabling it, reboot your phone, it will then prompt you with multiple backup options.
I recommend you doing a "backup and restore" if you have important apps in your phone.
I did already go through the boot menu, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was choosing. I can't remember the exact one I went for though, but it did have something like ext in the name.
So that would mean this is as fast as my phone will get?

Yes, it would mean that your phone would be more responsive at the expense of battery life.
However, some lagfix options are rather unstable and could lead to crashes/force closes...
So I'd recommend you using the "No-RFS Ext4"
Thanks for the youtube video, confirms what I did what the right way lol.
But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with how fast my phone is with the lagfix...
Although it is better than stock, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I installed OCLF on my phone (Froyo JPO) and tried to remove it in order to upgrade to 2.2, I think it didnt remove the lagfix right though, as the option to apply the lag fix, and the one to remove the lag fix is no longer available. (I cant remember if it specifically said it failed or not.)
I saw somewhere on this site that you first have to install some other rom, or to just select something else in ODIN if updating with lag fix still enabled. Also, should I uninstall all apps with root access before unrooting? And can I backup apps with titanium backup in order to restore it if I have to completely wipe my phone?
use quadrant to check your score.. if its more then 1000 the lagfix is still enable.. my advice is to flash only if you are sure that it is disable...
if i am not wrong, OCLF can say the reason why a function is not avaible, maybe your battery is less then 40%
for flashing it is not neccesary to unroot..
Youre right, it does give the reason. When I try to remove it it says that I dont have the lagfix installed, and if I try to add the lag fix, it says that I already have another lag fix enabled, which I dont. Obviously something went wrong somewhere.
Should I just try to flash 2.2.1?
the exact error messages are as follows
when i try to remove lagfix: "You do not app0ear to have a V2 lagfix installed! (free space on /data does not match /dbdata/ext2data)"
When I try to add the fix: "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5 kb)"
So you still dont know of the lagfix is enable??.. check your quadrant score.. if this is below 1000, this will mean that the fix is disable, so you can start flashing..
I just assumed it wasn't applied anymore and installed update and it worked. Lucky me I guess haha, thanks for help

Few minutes ago, I flashed my SGS I9000 with webstar1's Ultimate ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854799, everything's going fine, and i'm pretty much satisfied with the functionality and such.
However, when i ran a speed check with Quadrant Standard, it shows that my speed is benchmarked at 1100. Before i used this ROM (was using stock), it was at 1700 with voodoo. Right now, voodoo is disabled because I created the disable_lagfix folder. Is it possible for me to enable voodoo? Or will it create some clash with the ROM itself and cause troubles to my phone?
Thanks for any help/advices that any experts could clarify, cheers.
Re-enable the lagfix by deleting the file. No, there shouldn't be any issues. This would however work if you're once again on the Voodoo kernel after flashing the new ROM. If you're not, flash that first.
And for the record, Quadrant doesn't mean squat!
Does that mean i should flash the voodoo kernel first, without remove the disable_lagfix folder? Or i should try removing the folder, and if any problems persist, then flash the kernel? If i feel that the experience using the ROM is smoothe, i shouldn't enable voodoo anyway i guess..
EDIT: I just notice the ROM comes with a kernel made by DamienGTO. Does that mean i have to re-flash the voodoo lagfix? Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!

It wouldn't matter either way. The lagfix would only activate on Voodoo kernel with the disable file/folder removed.
EDIT: DamianGTO's lagfix implementation is different, I believe. The Voodoo folder would have no significance when on that kernel. I would suggest you to stick with the new kernel over the basic Voodoo one. You can activate lagfix from CWM Recovery.
