So I mistakenly installed the i9000 voodoo lagfix kernal.......problem is.no voice calls on my phone. I'll tell what state my phone is currently in, and where i'd like to be, and any help i can get would be greatly appreciated.
Current State:
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband Version I897UCKB1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build number Froyo.UCKB1
Phone build 1006
rooted/shell rooted/market enabled with SuperOneClick
I disabled the voodoo lagfix but still have the I9000 kernel apparently (splash screen and no voice calls)
Where I want to be:
Stock Froyo
Rooted (which I know how to do)
Voodoo Lagfix built on captivate kernel, not I900 (because I like to talk on my phone)
That's all I want. Odin1click seems to not want to work for me anymore, unless I'm apparently doing something wrong in my method of operation.
I cannot seem to find a stock Froyo rom? Maybe I just don't know how to search the forum, because I can't ever seem to find anything very easily.
Please someone help me, this is my only phone, and I had to borrow a laptop for the night, to fix my phone.
well........nevermind, imagine, after a giant pitcher of amberbock and a shot.......
first thing i do when i come home is get the correct kernel with voodoo lagfix installed
wtf. no more I9000! So I think I got to where I wanted all by myself, well i mean I didn't make all the oneclicks but you guys know what I mean!
edit: i did a quadrant, I feel I have the stock kernel installed but not lagfix as my quadrant is only 900 something? doesn't seem right cosidering
i was close to 1800 before on i9000 *sigh* Still would like to find a stock ATT FROYO rom Just in case
Quadrant means nothing. I ran two benchmarks one after each other with the same setup and got 900 and 1500. It only looks big when you compare it.

Just look for the voodoo folder. If it is there then it is installed. As for your scores that seems about right for a stock Tom, the i9000 Tom's will always be faster as they are more updated

Well its there just dunno if its from before. Also before whem I rebooted into recovery I would go into a 2nd screen that was red that would let me enable or disable lagfix.....doesn't happen now.....dunno if I really care though cuz at least I can talk on my phone now lol....anyone know if supercurio is working on voodoo sound built on captivate 2.2?

Yeah that was for the universal lag fix. Not voodoo. As long as it is there and no disable lag fix folder then you are good. It would not have carried over as the stock flash wiped it when you flashed the update. Not sure if he is as he doesn't have the device. And they are building kernals on more updated stuff then 2.2. Only time will tell if he does. I am more looking coward to the 2.3 port lol

I'm considering applying voodoo to my SGS running Nordic froyo. I'm quite satisfied with it as it is, lag not much of a problem as I don't run much on it. Mostly use it for web browsing and Facebook.
From what I've read OCLF is not so good on Froyo so that's why I'm considering voodoo.
Q1. Can anyone comment if battery drain is higher with voodoo?
Q2. Is web browsing improved a lot with voodoo.
I know the obvious answer is try it and see! But since applying voodoo sounds more complicated than OCLF I don't want to try and find out how to apply voodoo if it's not really going to improve what I use my SGS for or drain more battery.
Mark.

Don’t know about Voodoo, but OCLF is working great on my device. No issues so far. But use version 1, not 2. Version 2 breaks the haptic feedback.

Battery lasts as usual
Well, I m from India and I use JPM froyo with Voodoo lagfix. I guess its amazing. Easy to flash as PDA and later if required can be easily diabled by simply making a folder named Voodoo and make a folder called diable lagfix within that and finally shutdown and poweron the phone. You get an audio confirmation about the conversion (EXT4) i guess. For further info chk voodoo wesite, faq.....finally battery is as usual.
Cheers!

Keep us posted about the battery...
Voodoo screen brightness can be set far lower than Samsung so I imagine a battery improvement. Sading this, I cannot imagine the battery being worse with Voodoo - Its already poor enough as it is.
I just installed voodoo and then used oclf, but now my accelerometer is all jacked up, anyone else have this problem or know a way to fix it?

Stupid question but why would you put oclf over voodoo
Captivate
Cog 2.2
I saw it on a forum, and after I did it it went from a quadrant score of 1600 to 2300, so it works but the only thing that doesn't work is my accelerometer

What Rom are you on? The only suggestion I can make is to remove one of the Lagfix. Or flash back stock. I would search the thread or even just Google your problem. Someone may of had the same issue and found a way to fix

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're a troll and you didn't really put OCLF on top of voodoo.

Don't put OCLF on top of anything.
If you're interested in something faster than voodoo, check out SetiroN's kernel and/or the ROM's that use it. Such as in my sig.
What's the quadrant score on that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Quadrant score has nothing to do with how it performs.

The last two lagfix options in SetitoN's (or stutzy's) kernel are basically the same thing as oclf over top of voodoo - though the on only thing that would be good for is quadrant scores, won't really notice much of a real world performance dif. And that kind of lagfix combo is really going to cut into your available space on your data partition.
Then what would you recommend performance wise
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Honestly you sound like a noob and SetiroN's kernel requires a certain skill level to install / debug because it is still in alpha stages.
Just stick with Cognition if you want my advice. It is plenty fast, has a great battery life, and automatically works with Voodoo. And it is fairly stable. OCLF on top of it will not help.
In my experience SetiroN's kernel has better performance but takes a cut in the battery life and also has some wierd bugs.. you don't have full functionality in every way... lots of people like it... but if you want my recommendation it's going to be a lot of work for you so go with Cog instead. if you go with setiroN expect to put in a number of hours learning how to get it working.. and expect a few people on that thread (not setiroN) to flame you if you post a question about hwo to get it working. last night there was a lot of drama. larger point is you will probably get criticized there from a few bad apples.
I am a noob, but I can figure stuff out, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I am currently running Cog rom SetiroN's kernel with jfs advanced all jfs lagfix and I am happy with my phone's performance.
Don't know if this is the best performance or not as that is somewhat subjective as to what will rework best for every one on their own phone with their own configuration.
My recommendation is run what you want to run on your phone. If quad scores are important oclf type lagfix's that make some type of buffer that sets on top the data partition will always outperform in the quad's input/out bench mark and get overall better quad scores, but the buffer wil take up valuable space on your data partition.
The only way you can know for sure what works best for you is to try them out, do some actual time trials and stress tests with the apps you use and pick which one you like best.
What ever lagfix you choose make sure you know how to properly disable it when needed before you actually install that lagfix.
Ok cool, I really like cog ill try putting SetrioN kernel on it, thanks man

Just my 2 cents but make sure you read up and understand Setroin before you flash it

Yup just did, I gave cog with SetrioN

I've had this problem on pretty much any Froyo build I've installed (tried Doc's, Darkys, etc).
When I press a button (power or home) to wake the phone up, I get a 10 second delay before the lock screen appears. The only time I don't get this delay is when the phone is charging: in that case, it wakes up instantly.
I tried using SetCPU, but it didn't make any difference for me.
I've followed the install steps to a T, and I still get this. This never happened on my Captivate (I have both), and I've flashed numerous ROMs without any problems on the Captivate.
Any thoughts?
As a side note, the ROMs are usually very fast and smooth. I'm currently on Darky's Legendary Steel ROM, v4.0 and aside from the wake up lag, the ROM is very smooth and fast, and this is without having applied any lagfix (used his SpeedMOD version). This is what makes the delay I'm experiencing all the more confusing.
Its a kernel bug, although I thought all the devs had it fixed on froyo.
Try another kernel

Thanks I'll give that a shot. Do you have a particular kernel you know for a fact doesn't have that bug?

I897? These kernels are for i9000
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I was posting from my Captivate, but this issue is with my i9000. I have both phones.
I have noticed that when I click a button, I usually have to wait from 1-2 seconds before I get a response. Would lagfix take care of this? I'm running stock Froyo.
As many have stated all the lagfix does is help fix the very slow rts file system, it most likely would not help in your case.
Best thing to do is delete unused apps, and reboot the phone every day or to(seems to help mine out, cant guarantee results)
Also if you havent needed root in 5 months you probably don't need it
Unless you want to use opitimised roms, I dont see why you would need to root. Check your memory usage delete unused apps and reboot the phone ever once in a while.
My honest opinion, no reason to have an android phone if you are not using roms

Gonna have to agree with mcord here. had to go back to stock froyo for about 5 hours (didnt have all my tool to get back my 2.3.4 ROM) and it was horrible.
you might not be up for it but i really recommend flashing a Froyo Custom ROM from one of the xda DEVs. you'll love your phone and be amazed that it can be so much smoother and responsive.
First thing I did after i rooted was flashed a new kernel to overclock. Performance increased but battery life was poor. Then my first rom was cm7..been hooked since..tried miui once then went back to cm7.

No a Benchmark score is not the best example to lag fix your phone ,but the more power you get, plus better battery life and, better perrformance are great reasons to lag fix your phone. I just posted the quadrant score so kb0npw can see the increase performance from normal rfs file system to ext4(lag fix).

I dont think he thought it meant everything, he was giving a simple before and after which showed some improvement. Quadrant can actually be pretty useful when trying to gauge what effects certain changes have on your phone, say you score a 1900 before you change 'x' and then 2200 after that change, then you know its increased performance somewhat and youre moving in the right direction. How much it has increased your performance is debatable, however. My point is quadrant can be a useful tool when making changes on your phone if you take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: To answer op's question, Read up on some custom roms and flash one, the difference is phenomenal and you'll wonder how you went 5 months without them. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me and I'll see what help I can be
This is an extremely annoying issue! 95% of calls are "dropped" because people suddenly can't hear me anymore! I can hear them, but after a few seconds they cant hear me... Anyone else having the same issue? Any possible fix perhaps? I haven't found a single reference anywhere.
Also, would this be a modem related issue? Maybe flashing another one would help? If not the modem, what then?
I have a rooted captivate with stock froyo. I've been through the cognition froyo kernel, speedmod and overstock. I also know that the problem stands in cognition 4. The problem has been there since purchase. I bought it from ebay and do not live in the States, so going through AT&T is not an option.
Thanks in advance!

I've recently started having this as well intermittently after about 5 minutes on a call.
I'm on Mosaic V, Jk4 modem, was also happening with Kc1. I just updated to DC 3.0 kernel last night, so we'll see.
Personally I'm thinking AT$T is 'upgrading' the network, but is pretty annoying issue.

Since u r running a stock, rooted froyo... u could try the latest i897 modem, KF1.
I know it is from the leaked i897uckf1 gingerbread firmware, but u could give it a try. Other than that it may be ur network or a hardware issue.

Happens to me quite a bit. Took me a while to realise the screen wasn't sleeping and my face was pressing the mute button
So now when three other person starts saying "hello?" I always check my screen...always muted.
Maybe your issue, maybe not. Good luck!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'll try other modems, but somehow I don't think that'll do it...
And I'll keep an eye out on the mute thing, although that can't be it either, since it happens while I'm on speaker as well... I used to try using the speaker and keeping the screen alive and it would still happen...
Anyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
In case anyone might ever find this info useful, Cognition 5 v2 fixed this. I am now on the ICS rom from team ICSSGS and the problem remains gone. It was probably the modem in the different roms that did it...
