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.

Hey folks, so here's a basic summary of what I've done up to now...
Rooted... have Rom Manager, etc...
Flashed JH7 OTA with Clockwork. Worked nicely. Set some things up, happy at this stage so I made a backup.
Decided to try Cognition, was 2.1.4. Had some trouble with a few things.
Disabled lagfix, simple enough.
Flashed to a backup made when I was on regular JH7.
So to the question... when I go to About in Settings, my Kernel still says
[email protected] #Voodoo_lagfix_3.0_v1.9.
Shouldn't the Kernel have converted back when I restored/flashed my backup?
Clockwork won't reflash your kernel (unless it's a package with included kernel) however the voodoo kernel you currently have on your phone operates the same as a stock kernel until you remove the disable-lagfix folder. Cognition 2.1.4 does utilize that version of the kernel to enable init.d scripts for things like MobileAP to function
You just have all the answers don't ya?
Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Haha I do my best to stay informed around here
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.

Well, I know exactly how to flash a kernel. However I run the stable voodo kernel which comes with Darkys 9.02 EXTREME edition. I am going to download the custom OC'ing kernel (voodo) someone suggested me in my other thread.
Though*;
Having Voodo Stable kernel, is it SAFE to re-flash the kernel to another version of Voodo (made for overclocking)
Should be. But if you can spare the time, remove the lagfix first.
better safe than sorry!
disable lagfix before flashing, just to be on the sure side.
If you want to flash any kernel over another disable al tweaks an turn lagfix off. Doing it this way things never can go wrong
Any good 500-1000 HZ kernel?. With overclock. Also as Overclock is enabled in stock ROM, why is NONE using this oppertunity?
Hi guys make this post cause im kinda new to think kernel instal/removal and didnt find anythink usefull in google.So i have SGS i900 darky rom 9.3 xwjs5 and kernel [email protected]#24.So question is does speedmod a lagfix ?How do i remove it/replace it and is it normal on quadrant to have 1101 score with this setup?And does the kernel i wrote is the default one from darky.And can anyone post any other lagfix suitable for this rom cause vodoo drains way much batt.
Speedmod does have a lagfix. Quadrant scores vary but they don't really matter as their not indicative of how good your phone is running. You have to boot into recovery and then go into Speedmod menu. Then go to lagfix/tweaks to enable whatever you want.
You don't need to enable anything if you feel your phone is fast. Only do it if you think your phone is lagging.
There are a whole bunch of kernels here

So speedmode is like think that have alot tweaks?and those new kernels i instal over this one and flash with clockwork right
speedmod has a lagfix but to be honest I dont think its essential. Its snappy enough without it. Also the latest stock releases are super fast also.

Yeah you flash it with clockwork. But to be honest, just like the poster above said, you don't need lagfixes with most of the new roms as they are all very fast as is. And sometimes the lagfix might also screw up your phone. I applied the lagfix to darkyy's 9.3 and it killed my battery much faster and when I tried to go back to RFS my phone gave me problems. So unless you really need it I don't think that you should apply the lagfix.
But to each his own. Good luck
Hey guys,
i installed the voodoo lagfix kernel on a mates galaxy s who is not the best at android stuff and it worked fine with the ext4 lagfix for a couple weeks and now the speaker for calls has stopped working, i got him to uninstall the lagfix via the voodoo FAQ and he has done this and subsequently the speaker has begun to work again.
He was on OCLF ext2 lagfix before i put the voodoo kernel on since it was simple.
My question is since he has converted it back to RFS can he put the OCLF ext2 fix on now with the voodoo kernel still on there as long as he keeps the disable lagfix folder on to stop the voodoo kernel from applying the ext4 fix?
thanks in advance =]

No idea what version of the kernel, lagfix or rom you are running.
Dont use OCLF , use the voodoo kernel for that? Why would you even use the OCLF if you have a voodoo lagfix kernel? Am not so much familiar with Voodoo kernels, but makes no sense to me.
Dont use OCLF and no ext2 . Use voodoo with ext4 for that. Make backup before. If you mess something up its on you .
(Universal advice these days, go for gingerbread? No "lagfix" needed, and custom kernels with voodoo are comming along just fine)
it is using 2.2 froyo and 5.5 voodoo kernel.
the whole reason i'm asking this as when he uses the ext4 lag fix of the voodoo kernel his speaker stops working thus kind of rendering his phone useless at making calls.
he's not incredibly tech minded at this so can't flash the roms for himself or anything like that i'm just wondering if it is actually possible to use the OCLF with this kernel as long as the kernels lag fix is not in use
EDIT: problem fixed.
