What is the difference between the Semaphore_kernel_JVZ_2.1.1.tar and the Semaphore_kernel_JVZ_2.1.1bm.tar kernal?
Also, what is the advantage of a kernal like this over the stock?

The bm stands for bigmem which means it has an extra 17mb(or around this i cant remember the exact number) but it comes at the cost of 720p video recording.
edit: i just checked its 13mb

And the difference between a kernal like this and the stock one?
The stock kernel can't overclock and doesn't support backlight notifications, voodoo sound, etc.
Basically the Semaphore kernel adds a lot more features to your phone as opposed to the stock kernel so there's really no reason to not switch over from stock

Nice! So, are these changes automatic or built within the kernal or do you have to go out and get a separate app to make them?

The features are enabled automatically through the kernel. Once you install Semaphore, there should be an app installed that lets you control these features, but you might have to install some extra apps from the market for other things such as overclocking and voodoo sound/screen

Hi,
for what reason do I a kernel flash? Are the rom included kernels better then a lonestanding once? can I flash any kernal to any rom?
what is the benifit of flashing an other kernel then the once ued in the rom?
thanks
When you change the kernel you choose a better kernel then stock.
They are more tweaked and habeas more support fir different things.
**Using my own JPX kernel, z4mod, 345MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
- Different file system (better battery life) (I'm still experimenting with finding the right one)
- Access to the kernel allows you to use the led backlights on the buttons for notifications.
Those are currently the main reasons why I flash diff kernels.
You can have direct acces to one of the most advance lag fixes around(voodoo) better performance ,overclocking ,color correction for ur display,more user accessable ram and so on

Good question.
Samsung open-sources their released ROMs from time to time and many of the "kernel-hackers" (I'd call them plain hackers, what's with the prefix?) here utilize it to add/provide features and fix bugs (bugs are overlooked by people, its normal).
For instance, SpeedMods' kernel provides an Overclocking support for your Phone's CPU, if you want that extra juice. Likewise, Voodoo provides a set of visual enhancements among other things.
HTH
Another important reason is to regain 2e recovery if you lost it after flashing a stock firmware. This assumes the kernel you choose includes this feature
Fine, thank you all!
Normal: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-v2.6.zip
OC: http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-OC-v2.6.zip
I rebased on the latest source from Samsung, JPX. Yes, it's still i9k based. Hopefully it helps a little with battery and such, won't know till it's been out for a while. The speedmod patch has also been updated, but the OC patch is the same. I also included my backport of the auto-group scheduler patch. So far, both of them are working well for me.
Both kernels are voodoo enabled and will enable voodoo if you don't already have it. If you don't want that, you need to install the voodoo-disable zip before flashing, or just put the disable-lagfix file in place before flashing. If you already have voodoo enabled on your phone, you do NOT need to disable it before flashing these kernels, as long as your current kernel has voodoo recovery (red Clockwork recovery), you are good to go.
Tested on Nero V4, but should work on other Froyo based ROMs as well.
If you are going to try the OC version, please download both of them and have the normal version ready, just in case. You can also use adb push from Clockwork if you can get it booted to recovery. Clockwork also has USB storage you can enable to be able to mount your phone's memory cards from a computer, so that you can put the non-OC version on there if you get stuck.

External SD Mount issue
Everything works great but I no longer can mount my external SD card. That's where I keep all my music. Anyone else having this issue?
I will probably get flamed... but what is the difference in the speedmod patch and the dragon kernal. I was a bit confused in understanding what the speedmod patch is and does. Thanks!
any way to make the new 5.1 voodoo sound kernels compatiable with the vibrant JL5 latest source from Samsung, JPx its not for vibrant kernel
Just to clarify, for full Voodoo Sound experience, will we also need to install the Voodoo Sound app from the Market?

That's right. It allows you to control the parameter, which is so far for Vibrant only the headphone amplifier level.

Considering the DoW kernel made my screen shake / flicker and this OC one doesn't, I'd say yes. Voodoo sound is also a nice plus.

Don't use cf-root kernel. JVH uses changed RFS filesystem. For now best method is using voodoo kernel for JVH

The free version requires a custom kernel. The paid version does not. Read the description of the apps in the market for more information. Be sure to rate the apps 5* as well because they work great.

Hi guys. I'm new here and i need your help. Last night i upgrated my samsung galaxy i9000 from 2.2 froyo to gingerbread 2.3. I also rooted my phone with CF-ROOT By ChainFire and after that, trying to instal voodoo control but when i enter in the application i see nothing just this :
So, actual kernel version of my phone is : I9000XJVK
And build number : GINGERBREAD.XWJVB
I don't know what to do, i'm not so familiar with android formalities. What to do to not broken my phone ?

If u want kernel with voodoo, you must flash a JVQ or JVR, because all kernel's are on new source's and for 2.3.4 no for 2.3.3.
For JVQ/R are a lot of kernel's with voodoo sound support
I just installed voodoo control plus and now it works but i have one last question. Now i have 2 voodoo controls apps. One of them have to delete ?

Turn on the Voodoo Control App, then you see at down Lagfix Control, or something like this, and Lagfix status: if enable ext4, if disable rfs only.

I see on settings > about phone, i have the dark core kernel now. I guess is it better right ? Anyway the sound is good especially the bass
...i'm so nervous... i'm getting this message if i stay and do nothing on application, what to do ?
Just upgraded my I9000 to 2.3.6 JW4 and added a rooted kernel.
Since no kernel with features are available for this firmware, what hacks can I make manually?
Stuff like Voodoo sound, BLN, etc. (links to the corresponding threads would be nice).

Voodoo Sound Plus doesn't need kernel support. Just having root is enough, though it's a paid app.
