Voodoo isn't compatible with JPK. It's mentioned in the documents.
Flash JPO over it, and apply voodoo to that. Or try flashing Chainfire's CF-root kernal over JPK if you want to try salvaging your apps. DISCLAIMER: Not sure what'll happen if you flash CF-root kernal over it. I think you'll loose your apps anyway?

z4mod is compatible with JPK, if you really want to use JPK (not sure why you would?).

Go to the newer JPO or JPA, try hardcores kernel over it. THE BEST experience.

Voodoo Kernel Please help

Please I need help.
I flashed an i9000 ROM and I qm having orientation issues and they told me to flash a captivate kernel to fix this.
the ROM already comes with a voodoo kernel with a voodoo lag fix enabled can I just flash the captivate voodoo kernel over this without disabling the lag fix considering they are the same kernel and lag fix?
Please help do not want to mess up anything.

The best advice I've heard for this is to backup everything, that way if you do mess something up, you have only lost an hour's time.
As far as flashing one kernel over another, I do it all the time, but I would check specifically on the two kernels. See if anyone has done what you are considering.

Or just pick one of the ROM's on the captivate forum that is i9000 based, That way it will work for sure.

Which kernel is better: speedmod or voodoo?

hey guys,
im using the voodoo kernel at the moment but i want to know whether the speedmod kernel is better.
what's the difference between those two ones? which is more reliable? which is the faster one?and which has a better battery life?
my second question is wheter a lagfix is still needed for the kernel. i heard the lagfix needs more battery.
ty in advice

Its a matter of personal preference.. You should try both kernels and conclude for yourselve..

but can you say something in general? there should be some differences...
ty

i'm using Stock JS3 with voodoo 5.2 and there is zero lag, and battery life is fantastic (after removing most of the samsung bloatware).
I really don't see any need for any of the extra 'fixes' the other kernals add

You can read the differences on both kernel's pages.
Which is better: apples or bananas? It's all based on opinion. Flash one, if you don't like it, flash the other.

I prefer voodoo,
At the moment im using the advanced kernel v666.2, and its bloody awesome.
Supercurio says voodoo doesnt increase battery life, so rock on!
Speedmod, whilst good as never been as smooth for me, even 500hz versions.

Root your phone and get titanium backup.

I think either kernal is good. Have used both and not much difference between the 2. My personal opinion- speedmod feels a little smoother than voodoo. Was using voodoo for a couple of months but now on speedmod.

One difference is voodoo is compiled by supercurio and the other by hardcore.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

ty guys. i think i will stick to voodoo. actually i have the 5.2 version istalled on my gt-i9000.
but is there a thread in this forum where i can check for the latest voodoo kernel? i didn't find it...

5.2 is the latest version.. You should check project-voodoo.org for updates or folkow his voodoo sound thread

ty a lot. now i'm fine

Seems to me voodoo is bit smoother and speedmod has maybe better battery life.

You should get CWM Recovery and try for yourself since it's so easy to switch, I am on Darky's Ron and currently using Voodoo. But I was on Speedmod before 9.1 and I can't find any difference in their smoothness. The batterylife is more depending on your Rom and settings.
Happy flashing

I switched rom and kernel at the same time. So I can't fairly compare both kernels.
I appreciate Speedmod's kernel because it has tun support for Openvpn.

for me, I use speedmod as it has better battery life

I use SpeedMod, for the performance tweaks. I did briefly use supercurio's kernel, but then switched over to hardcore's, chiefly because of how it was geared at performance and efficiency, or so it said, anyway.
To the extent of my limited knowledge, I can summarise their technical advantages as follows:
Advantages of SpeedMod
Various optional performance boosts - promises battery and speed improvements, but I haven't actually done any tests for proof
Customisable lagfix - can choose from different file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4, ext4nj, rfs, jfs) and where to apply them (data, system, etc)
Advantages of Voodoo
Simplicity - lagfix (and other tweaks) automatically apply on boot, no need to ever go into recovery mode
Both have colour and sound tweaks (SpeedMod uses Voodoo Sound), and generally are very stable. You might also find less of a need to update

You don't say...

I guess voodoo is much better. I haveused both of them but speedmod has a lot of problem like screen brightness which will never be fixed! althou hardcore claims to have done so. about the battery consumption you can not say which of them is better cuz it depends on your rom. on Darky voodoo saves more and speedmod drains ur battery. that is why Darky switched to voodoo in his latest roms and if you install darky rom configurator you will see that voodoo is recommended.

I prefer the speedmod kernel because you have the choice in regards to optimizations and lagfixes. The latest kernel (k12u) really speeds up my gps fixes!!!
Stock XXPY + JPA WiFi driver, rooted, speedmod k12u 500hz
Speemod kernels are being updated almost daily,so the easiest way is to get used to using cwm recovery!

[Q] Rogers Captivate Voodoo LagFix

Am I able to install the Voodoo lag fix on my Captivate? I know the AT&T version is supported but I rather not brick my device. Please respond!
Thanks,
Androidfann

I have a Rogers Captivate, and I have used Voodoo for a while.
Make sure you have root access, and go nuts. It really does improve the quality.

have u used voodoo with 2.2?
i just got the captivate and am now on stock 2.2 with root and oclf installed. is it worth changing to voodoo?

OCLF uses ext2, which is less safe than ext4, which is used by Voodoo. If you want Voodoo, flash the JJ4 + Voodoo kernel in the dev section.

Depends. The newer Kernals really unlock a lot of features that we didn't have before, and you don't have now.
If you use your phone as your media player, than the benefits of Voodoo sound were enough to make me switch.

hey guys, i got the official rogers 2.2, can i still use voodoo? what good roms use rogers 2.2 as a base and include voodoo? any suggestions?

Hey folks, another Canadian Rogers Captivate user here...just wanted to confirm if I can use the Voodoo stable 5.4.1 for Froyo 2.2.1 as it looks like I'm on 2.2 stock (and rooted)? I'm new to android and a bit scared, but the Voodoo fix seems easy enough..

No one seems to be answering the main question posed here.
For us STOCK Rogers froyo users which version of voodoo should we use?
I am not running a custom rom, I have not used Odin (used Kies to install official froyo update). I can't seem to find a version of voodoo lagfix specifically for stock Rogers 2.2. If anyone e has it installed can you point us in the right direction?

Thanks for the reply..i havent read much about speed mod. Am I to understand theres no voodoo option for rogers 2.2?

Hi there to all asking about Voodoo for Rogers,
I have tried suckerpunch (based on speedmod)
Also tried the newest speedmod 13c
No problems with either.
I personally have tried voodoo (5.4.1 and the one for att captivate) with no luck at all.

People have been using the SpeedMod kernel which is the Rolls Royce of kernels; it enables a lot of the Captivates features and power. However, the Kernel is based on the i9000 kernel, which is the sister handset to the Captivate. The kernels are compatible across both phones, but the stock modems on captivates don't seem to do as well with some setups; you'll see this in the sprawling thread dedicated to that topic. Some people will flash an i9000 modem as well, and people seem to have varying results with different combinations.
Having said that, if you don't want to use bluetooth, the stock modem is perfectly serviceable. You could go ahead and flash your SpeedMod kernel and see vast improvements is phone function without tweaking in the handset's general recovery menu. There's also plenty there to keep the tweaksters busy
However, new to the scene is the same developers amalgam of his voodoo lagfix in a stock Rogers Froyo kernel. I'm running it now and I am still testing and checking things, but it seems fine though. There are some caveats to respect though, I just spent nearly an entire day getting my phone back to Stock Froyo after doing a bad job of 'un'lagfixing before flashing kernels. However, if it's your first endeavour into flashing or modifying your phone's software, it would be a relatively safe bet. You should not have any lagfix installed nor should you even think about doing it without doing a Titanium Backup of your phone, which would mean rooting.
Hope that helps a bit.

Clemmei.. I saw in the description of your phone that has the official version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 AT&T Gingerbread in your captivate ... How did you install, by odin? I have a Captivate I897 UCKB1, i´m interested in this oficial Rom.. Works fine?? And what version i need to chose for my modems.. Thanks!!

There is a 1-click Gingerbread UCKF1 thread in the dev forum. Thats what I am currently running and its working well so far.. The only issue I have is my GPS is crap.. but it was crap with stock froyo aswell so no big deal there.
I'm on the rogers i896 also.

It's sort of officially unofficial. It would seem to be a prebuild for a forthcoming Gingerbread release, it's tight and a great daily driver.
I did use Odin; follow the usual safety procedures and all will be well. The modem that comes with the package is great, but my 4G no longer works, it's 3G for now, but I got terrible 4G speeds anyway, so there's not much of a downgrade there.
The GPS did not function so great straight away, but I keyed in the code *#3214789650# - Settings - SUPL Settings, and changed the server to supl.google.com and the server port to 7276. I got much better results from that configuration.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help of gps friend ... I have it installed and this great .. But you have some voovoo installed, can not find any on the net .. The voodoo 5.5.x served me just to change the start GTI9000, I do not like .. Thanks for your help..

[Q] Need help understanding modifications

Hello!
I've been trying to find out is it possible to flash roms/mods if I have flashed voodoo kernel? I flashed it few days ago and phone goes like racing car
I'm not completely newbie, but what comes to android hacking... I haven't found out few things like: What's the difference between mods, roms and kernel. Well... For example.. Can I flash tw4 if I've flashed voodoo kernel?
I don't need "how to" answers just I'd like to know more about these things.
Allso.. If someone knows websites telling huge amounts of info about these things please ad those too
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

you can install TW4 if you are on a samsung based ROM,
samsung apps will not work with ROMS such as Cyanogen and MIUI.
And you dont need to remove lagfix unless moving ROM or Kernel, if you are just updating to a newer version, its not necessary.
the best place to find your answers is here on XDA, you would be surprised what comes from the search bar

Thank you for the answer.
I tried to find answers with search. Some I found sme I didn't..
I cannot find info about project voodoo's voodoo kernel 5.5. Is it just lagfix and can I flash darky's rom without deleting/uninstalling voodoo lagfix?
I didn't find voodoo on roms list so I think it's not rom?
I'm asking becouse I findout that darkys rom... Well darkys voodoo seems very nice but it uses same kernel modifications as voodoo kernel but has much more modifications (improved gallery etc. etc.) I'm asking this becouse I really like voodoo lagfixs voodoo sound improvements....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

yeah, voodoo is the kernel.
but darkys roms come with voodoo kernel built in, you can select this using his 'DarkyROM' app found in the market (free), you select what you want, i.e boot animation, theme, kernel, added extras. Hit save and then flash his rom and it will do the rest for you.
If you want to use darkys ROM 9.2 or higher. Flash his resurrection ROM via odin, and that will give you the base package to move upwards

Oh right! Tanks!
It really seems I'm quite newbie
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

we all was at one time, dont worry about it.
The key thing when doing any sort of modifications is be sure you know what your doing. and always have a backup plan.

That's right. It's why I have not done rom flashes or anything else before getting enough info. Tough I've heard that!"while doing you'll learn" but sgs is too expensive to do such experiences.
Thanks for all the answers!
