This is Voodoo LagFix beta4 for the Vibrant. It does not include color adjustment just the /data as ext4. This has been tested by many users and is confirmed working, including GPS WiFi BT etc. There is also the performance increase of course as well due to the Voodoo lagfix and the optimized Kernel with OC option.
WARNING BEFORE FLASHING:DISBALE ANY LAGFIX'S YOU MAY ALREADY BE USING BEFORE APPLYING THIS FIX - IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LATEST LEAK JI2
Samsung has not provided us with the kernel sources that were used in the latest leak (which are different) so until they do we cannot support it.
To enable simply flash the kernel. It will automatically backup your existing /Data partition and create the /data as ext4 and restore so you dont lose your data of course.
To disable simply place a file/folder in the "Voodoo" folder on your SDcard (the internal one) called "disable lagfix" (e.g /sdcard/Voodoo/disable lagfix") no extention just that exact name and reboot. After your phone boots and you check that your /data partition is again RFS you can re-apply any other kernel you were using.
Upon enabling or disabling your phone will sit on the Vibrant screen. This can take 5-10 minutes depending on how much data you have (don't panic). "Linda" the robotic voice should let you know where in the process you are. After its done and your phone boots you should be able to run "mount" in terminal or adb shell and see your data is now EXT4 at
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Disabling by placing the "disable-lagfix" file in the "Voodoo" folder in your sdcard and that simply undoes what the enable did and returns your /data to the RFS setup at its original location.
PLEASE READ
The kernel boots to stock clocks but CAN be OC'd to 1.2Ghz via setupCPU or a user script. If you want to keep the phone OC'd just use setCPU and check apply on boot or use a user script that launches from /system/etc/init.d. If you want to run stock clocks just boot and don't do anything
NOTE This kernel does not need the init.d folder to be present to flash but will parse it if it is there. Also this kernel includes almost all the optimizations my OCv4 kernel so you get the best of both worlds if you want. Voodoo plus OC!
So a simple install routine through recovery would go like this
1.Flash a ROM and root it or flash one that is already ROOTED
2.Download beta4 Voodoo .zip file
3.Reboot into Stock recovery and flash the update.zip made for STOCK recovery.
4.Listen to "Linda" the robot tell you the progress as Voodoo does its thing.

Big Thanks to supercurio for the Voodoo project and for letting me share it with all the Vibrant users out there.
reserved for future use...
I love you.
Going to test in a few. Do you know where we can get the disable-lagfix file? Your OP doesn't include it. =)
EDIT: Nevermind. I should have read more carefully. THANKS AGAIN JAC!
I just flashed the Leaked TMO Kernel with the GPS Fix... can I flash this Lag FIx?
Thanks a lot man! Really appreciate you giving us something to tinker with, been dying to try this out
Will users who already are using 1-click lagfix need to do anything differently in order to use this?

You just have to name a file "disable-lagfix" and throw it on you sd card. It shouldn't actually have any data in it.

Ya, restoring back to stock or removing the lagfix if its possible. You cannot apply this if you already have a lagfix. Remove it or restore to a previous backup before you were using the lagfix (you made one, right )
just installed on Eugene's r3 rom, and it feels very snappy, can't wait for beta 3, thanks!
Edit: just did a second reboot, and I'm getting an error about a blank internal SD card, and all my data is missing. Any ideas on what I did wrong? I had a lagfix previously installed but had reflashed r3 and didn't redo the fix(not a nandroid just a new flash)

Yes. I didn't want to go that far back but meh. 1 click doesn't seem to be working very well tbh.
Appreciate all the hard work that goes in to making the phone actually operate as it should have on day 1. This community is amazing.
It does NOT work on the new leaked rom, fyi :O)
If you are using the leaked rom and you flash this you will need to flash the original rom and check repartition to restore your phone.
Do you need to flash the init.d update before flashing this kernel as with your previous kernels?
Dude this is fast... thank you def. worth the wait so far. the lag is gone! i cant wait to see what you guys come up with next.. its like christmas every few weeks

No. Just flash the kernal through clockwork. No other steps are needed, unless you already had a lagfix prior.

How long did you wait when it was on the Vibrant screen? The OP says it will usually stay on the VIBRANT screen for 5-10 min before it boots up depending on how data you have.

Did you install the leaked rom? You will need to go back to the stock rom in ODIN and check the repartition box. Follow my instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780935 but use the original rom
I'm new to using non stock ROMs and have heard good things about the Cyanogenmod and wanted to give it a try. I rooted my phone using Super One Click, I installed Clockworkmod to install the ROM and backup my settings, then I got the stable version of Cyanogenmod for my phone HTC Hero CDMA (update-cm-6.0.0-Heroc-signed.zip). I then followed the steps from the WIKI I updated the Radio, wiped my phone's data, then the cache, I selected the ROM to install from the root directory of my SD card, let it run through then told it to reboot the system. thats where the problem shows up it comes to the first HTC screen and will just sit there forever I even tried leaving it on overnight. I tried to flash it with different versions of Cyanogenmod and all had the same result, however I was able to get a version of damagecontrol to flash correctly on my phone so I know its not a brick.
I have searched quite a few posts but have not found anything that helps I have tried wiping multiple times and even wiped Dalvik cache. I ran a logcat to see if it might help me debug whats going on and it appears to be looping through the same things over and over I rebooted it again and had the same results. I can supply any info needed from the logcat needed but not sure what parts might help.
the different versions of ROMs I have tried to use are:
update-cm-6.0.0-Heroc-RC1-signed
update-cm-6.0.0-Heroc-signed
update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed
Also tried Cyanogenmod nightly 87, 95, & 99

try this:
using a rom that works flash a new recovery image using ROM Manager (find it in the market)
Tell ROM Manager to flash the recovery for ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
Then Reboot to recovery.
**********NANDROID FIRST!!*********
Starting the flash:
1. Choose the "Wipe data/factory reset" then click "wipe cache partition"
2. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose "choose zip from sdcard"
3. Pick the zip file with the CM6 make sure it completes and the installer confirms that it is complete.
4. Reboot phone. This might take more then 5 mins on the initial boot, when it boots up all the way and everything has loaded, do one more reboot to clear out the cache from the initial boot and you are good to go
**If this doesnt work for you, follow step one, select a DIFFERENT ROM, reboot, then reboot into recovery, then wipe again, and flash back CM6.
I tried this, I already had Rom Manager installed but checked to make sure it was all up to date, flashed it to 2.5.0.1 and rebooted to recovery. I wiped the data and cache and installed the CM6 and rebooted with teh same results of it being stuck at the HTC screen and logcat showed it cycling through the same actions over and over, I then tried to just reboot it and it did same thing. I then wiped and installed a different ROM (the Damage Control one) and it worked fine got all the way booted up. I then rebooted to the recovery manager again, wiped and reinstalled with the CM6and had the same results as the first time. out of curiosity I even tried installing the damage control and then installed CM6 without the wipe and it still did not work.

Find a new download of CM6, the one you downloaded was corrupt, try finding the thread, its in Development so find the extreme blue or redglass version.
I tried both the Extremely Blue CM6 Build (EXTBLUE_09NOV.zip) and the Red Glass CM6 Build (REDGLASS_09NOV.zip) that I got from the development area, a poste named
[ROM] (UPDATED 09-NOV) FroYo 2.2 - CM6 Extremely Blue, BlackMod, Red, Purple, Vanilla
the results as far as it looks are exactly the same as when I tried the other ROMs. I know two lines that kinda stand out to me in the endlessly repeating messages I get from logcat are:
E/dalvikvm( 326): Unable to extract+optimize DEX from '/system/framework/framework.jar'
D/dalvikvm( 326): Unable to process classpath element '/system/framework/framework.jar'
I'm not fully sure if these are the issue or if it is just random information about it failing to load the ROMs.
Does anyone know what those error messages could be caused by or a way to get around this issue?

That's probably the problem, try the 1.7 Darch RA, much better IMHO
Also ive noticed sometimes when I download a rom onto my computer for some reason it doesnt download the whole file correctly. So just make sure that when you download your rom to your computer the the size of the file is correct.If the rom is 50 mb make sure your download is the same.
I found a post that I believe I got that one from (RA-Darchstar.img) but it is an img file and i am having trouble getting that to install. i found another post elsewhere telling me to use commands from the SDK, it said to use
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb devices
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img
exit
adb shell reboot recovery
which seems like it should work however when I do the flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img it tells me that the flash_image cannot be found. is this the wrong command line? and i do have the file on my phone's SD card in the root directory. or is there another way to get the 1.7 Darch RA?
never mind on my last question I figured it out, I wasn't in the Recovery program I already had when trying to do it. I got the 1.7 Darch RA on and working then tried to flash some of the ROMs again and every one of them failed with the same logcat errors as before.
Try backing up ur SD then taking out ur SD and formatting it on ur CPU then put it back in ur phone and format it threw the recovery I have a 28 MB swap and the rest for the system them go to ext and upgrade/update ur ext from ext2 to ext3 then try and flash CM6.1 hope this helps good luck.
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
I formatted my card via the computer, formatted everything that RA-Darchstar will let me format, I then set up the partitions and upgraded to ext3, and then copped the CM6.1 to the phone and installed it (also tried EXTBLUE_09NOV). the end result was the same as each other time I have tried to install any of them CM6 ROMs.
Ok I ended up getting it to work by following some of the things I read on
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-cm-build-but-cm-6-nightly-tests/page__st__20
the part where they told this other person to extract the framework.jar to the PC and point adb to it.
Hi Everyone,
Sorry for this long-winded post. I've spent hours reading posts here, AndroidCentral and AndroidTablets.net forums, but have not found answers that work for me.
I hope someone can sort out the mess I've created on my rooted 1.1 Nook. Everything worked for 4-5 weeks after I rooted with Decad3nce method until...
A few days ago I decided to try 1.1G kernel. Read many threads about issues with Root Manager/ CWM; 3.0.0.5/3.0.0.6/SD CWM/EMMC CWM/Nook/Nook (old). When I booted into CWM, the version was 3.0.0.5. If I tried flashing CWM through Rom Manager, it said it 'flashed' 3.0.0.6 (tried both "Nook" and "Nook(old)"), but it never changed version of CWM I booted into. I also tried nemiths' "[RECOVERY] Official CWM 3.0.0.6 Update [BROKEN] (new fix soon!)" method to flash 3.0.0.6, but "adb shell busybox" always gave a 'can't get root' type error, so I gave up on that. I ended up using my current CWM to flash 1.1G kernel, and it worked very well. So I ignored the the CWM issues.
Then, I decided to try rookie1's dual-boot method so I could try out Honeycomb. I could never get 'prep_dualboot' zip to flash. It always gave an 'error in zip (status 0)'. His thread showed a few others getting same error, but none of the fixes given worked for me. I re-flashed that zip and ran the 'un-dualboot' zip many times with same result. I then found a "EMMC_CWM_3.0.0.6" zip and flashed that with my CWM. That actually gave me 3.0.0.6 CWM, but flashing dualboot still didn't work. I also again un-dualbooted, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions with same result. So I gave up on that for now.
Then this morning, I found Market updates and downloads don't work anymore. It says 'about to download', then shows the arrows in status bar and nothing else happens. Saw threads regarding this issue and tried clearing Market cache and wiping whatever I could in CWM. Nothing I've found has helped so far.
As a side note in Rom Manager, "Recovery" section now shows 3.0.0.5 (before it wanted to flash 3.0.0.6). Tried flashing 3.0.0.5 there, but it doesn't seem to do anything (same as when it tried to flash 3.0.0.6). I can't understand the logic in Rom Manager. I also have Fascinate phone and RM has issues on that phone also.
I do have CWM backups and Titanium backups of all my stuff, so at worst I can do those. Looking for possibly easier way to get back to 'normal' so Market works and I can download the 'dual boot' zip and be happy again.
Some additional questions I have:
1) I saw in Decad3nce post that he left out 'root' for busybox in an early release, so that may be why mine won't work. I know I had used busybox before, but that may have been on earlier rooted 1.0.1. Is there a way to fix my current busybox without re-rooting?
2) What is the correct CWM I should use for 1.1 and will let me flash dual-boot zip? Also, where can I download it from and how can I replace the one I have?
3) I have saved my SD card to my computer many times and then re-formated it on the Nook. Is there some partition on it that format isn't cleaning that may contain some CWM image(s) causing at least some of my headaches?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with these issues. I may have tried a few other 'fixes' that I've since forgotten in the 5 hours last night trying to setup dual boot and quick hour this morning before work trying to sort out Market. Sorry (in advance) if you suggest something and I then say I tried it already. Possibly, just doing all the fixes I've tried previously in the correct sequence is what I need.
I seem to back to where I was before 'bad' versions of CWM skewered Market on me.
1) busybox: found that I just had to 'chmod 755' on my /system/xbin/busybox.
2) Saw that nemith posted a 3.0.0.9 version of CWM. Flashed that using his manual method. Didn't flash his kernel. Rebooted.
3) Tried clearing Market cache and didn't help. Wiped partition cache in CWM (or possibly Dalvik cache, not sure now...was going to do both but rebooted by mistake). After reboot, Market is working again.
Not sure if any of these affected Market, but I also unchecked/checked "Allow Non-Market Apps" and Unchecked/Checked "USB Debugging" and Unchecked "Auto Mount" in Settings.
Can't post in Dev area, so hope some there having same issue as me Market see this.
Now, gonna try the dual-boot again.
Alas, still getting (status 0) error flashing dual boot prep zip. Project for another night.

From error logs it appears the sizes used in re-partitions may be the problem. Over weekend I'm going to try to find values that work. Could be the size differences reflect how NC was originally configured or how many re-roots/updates it has gone through and affect whether the prep works or not. Errors do occur on the 'remove dual boot' ZIP also.

The purpose of this thread is to host a location and continue support for a really neat ext4 mod.
IMPORTANT: If you flash the no data limit mod you need to do it after every update or your data, which won't be lost will be hidden by the contents of the data data partition.
I'm going to keep this brief. The original thread was closed so I wanted to have a new location where everyone can find the files. But this is a new thread for Jermaine151's and my EXT4all mod.
Below is the original thread which already has a lot of useful information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315372
Here is where you can find most of if not all the EXT4All files:
http://dinc.does-it.net/EXT4_Mods/
Sorry this thread isn't too organized but I threw one together so people could post on it with their comments.
This mod should work on all AOSP ROMs including ICS ROMs and MIUI. It's been confirmed on CM7 and MIUI but I've also tested on CM9. It should also work on all Sense ROMs and does work on every Sense ROM I've tested. Be sure to flash a newer version of the gingertiny kernel if you use a Sense ROM as the kernel version flashed to add ext4 compatibility is out of date.

FAQ
Q. How do I know if the ext4 mod(s) worked?
A. The best way is to do the following from terminal:
su
mount | grep /data
It should show a line with /data and ext4 and, if it has the no data limit, also a line with /data/data and ext4. If you're on an ICS/JB ROM it will show ext4 anyways. The best way to tell with the new version of the mod is to see if noauto_da_alloc shows in the results of the above commands.
Hey tiny, thanks for opening this btw. Wasn't sure if I should post here or on ur kernal thread but my girls dinc was having the data limit problem so I wiped cache and dalvic, flashed ext4 no data limit normal dalvic then flashed ur newest kernal (3/11 date). And I have been having the hardest time keeping her phone stable. I've tried every governor sav2, interactivex, ondemand, even sa, tried deadline, sio schedulers, even tried raising the voltages to a post u had on ur kernal thread, page 85 or something (wasn't sure if I should set the min and max of the voltages for the same thing, but that's wat I did). But she still says its very unstable. She's running stock+ 3.01 and she DOES have a cheap ebay battery in her phone, not quite sure how much that plays a role in the problem. She's at work right now so I can't pull any logs, but I know ull probably need a logcat? Or I dunno. If u could gimme directions on anything I should post to assist u. And I'm not overclocking at all for the record. On stock kernal she never had any stability issues, uptime of 200 hours+. But urs is definitely snappier and that damned data limit is the main reason y I even switched her over to begin with. Thanks tiny in advanced for everything u do!!!

I'd prefer the kernel thread.
And I'll need a last_kmsg. Just copy /proc/last_kmsg with root explorer or another file explorer and attach it to a post on the kernel thread. Since you most likely eliminated undervolting by using the voltages on page 85 of the kernel thread, then it's possible the battery has an effect. I've heard that poorly made batteries can cause issues that stock batteries don't have so further deviation from stock may have an influence. Either way, I'll look at that log once you get it. Make sure not to battery pull until you can copy that log and try to do it within 24 hours of the last reboot to be safe.
the following thread contains very simple and plain english directions for using this MOD. it helped me, and it was my first time rooting. Thanks also to tiny4579 for posting this new thread.

I am having random resets, problems w/ my phone freezing, a mysterious message "sorry, process system is not responding", and other various issues. Could it be that the mod is causing some problems for my phone, or more about something that wasn't cleaned out when i flashed over a nightly?

Try a logcat before wiping which i would suggest in the end or else we won't know. I don't think the mod would cause that though.
Also pull /proc/last_kmsg.

I've been running various ICS roms and switched back to Warm rev 58. Upon installing the latest kernel and the Ext4 mod. I am unable to install apps. Any idea what may be causing this. I wasn't sure if it was the rom or not do I did an update with SVN and installed that with the same results. I have a nandroid with just the rom and all the apps I want, but would like to overclock and the stock kernel won't allow. And would also like to be able to install a new app should one arise.

Thanks, how do I generate the logcat?
Sent from my Incredible.
Aw yeah.
Ok. It's not the kernel. Installed the most recent and everything is fine. Installed the ext4 with dalvik moved before that and rebooted and apps were missing and it wouldn't let me install new apps and some of my previously installed apps were missing. When I tried to install them it said it was going to replace an existing app and then said app not installed.
Any ideas???

Try a logcat before wiping which i would suggest in the end or else we won't know. I don't think the mod would cause that though.
Also pull /proc/last_kmsg.

also, i can't see the file /proc/last_kmsg
i see /proc , and i see "kmsg" but i don't see "last_kmsg"
is that the same thing?
and for some reason, the android sdk doesn't work now, that i have uninstalled and reinstalled it...

hELLO!
I HAVE A LOGCAT!
and it captures 2 errors.
First, it captures the "sorry, system process not responding" error, and then it captures this weird thing where it restarts. it doesn't go all the way back to the "htc incredible" screen, however, it goes to the cyanogenmod animation, starts up, and THEN goes right back to the cyanogenmod animation, again!
finally, i shut it off, cuz i didn't know how to get the logcat to stop in ddms.
and i have the /proc/last_kmsg... how do i get it to you?
i added a .txt to the end of it so i could upload it, hope that works. is that what you need?

Try fix uids in amon ra recovery. Amon ra should be listed in from manager. I don't think it's the same as fix permissions in cwm which I believe there is file system based. From looking at your logcat there are a lot of unknown permission errors. Let me know. I'm at work so didn't have a lot of time to respond but wanted to check briefly.

hey, thanks for looking at it. what do you do for work, that you are working during a holiday?
so, you think i should try fixing user id's in amon ra recovery.
and it should be listed in ROM manager, right?
Now, here's the question, if i'm going to be trying the new RC3 in CM7, and this time i am going to do a clean install, erasing everything. would i still need to fix permissions?
or maybe i should try flashing over RC2 and then fixing permissions?

Always worth a shot.. If you have the spare time try to flash over and fix permissions as 2nd~to-last thing you do before rebooting, ext mod should be last. Same with if you do a clean wipe to flash RC3 if flash over does not help.
I've personally never had an issue after a clean wipe with permissions, but it would not hurt if you did it anyway. It has been recommended when flash over though as a standard procedure. But only recommended

okay, so when flashing rc3, make sure i fix permissions right before the last step, and then flash ext4all mod LAST on the list?

If you're wiping I don't see the point of fix permissions as it will fix it back to what it already probably is. I haven't fixed permissions in a while flashing ROMs and I've been ok. Force closes that I got that made me try fix permissions then weren't fixable with fix permissions anyway.
I would wipe, flash ROM, flash kernel if desired, then mod. Though if it's a sense ROM I would switch the order of kernel and mod flashing. So really you can do: ROM, ext4all mod, kernel after a wipe if you choose to wipe to fix your issue.
hey, flashed over to RC3! so far so good, slowly adding things back! will let everyone know how it goes!
Is there a possibility that all or part of this mod could be persistent over multiple wipings?
My reasoning for this question: I originally flashed the 1.0 normal mod on Nils' BGS. In the OP it says it converts the filesystem to ext4. Many moons later, and now on drk's CM9, terminal still lists cache and data as ext4. I did not, however, flash an ext4 mod on any versions of ICS. I know that when I do a factory reset, even though all is formatted, my sd-ext remains ext4, since I set it up that way for Link2sd. Is it possible that the data and cache blocks have also remained ext4 from the original use of this mod, despite wiping and formatting repeatedly?
...sorry...I was on the phone...

No, if you actually format the device like when the system runs the format command the filesystem will be ext4. However in your example of CM9 the ramdisk mounts data and cache as ext4. This will actually have a minor improvement over ext3. It'd still be an ext3 filesystem but loaded as ext4 so there's minimal performance gains.
In reality any time you flash a ROM or a boot.img type kernel (not any of mine) you will use the ramdisk of the ROM and reverse part of the effects. But since ROMs like CM9 and newer CM7 versions mount as ext4 you'll still see data and cache showing as ext4. Make sense? I never really did explain it properly before I think.
I am having issues with the installation of a Custom ROM on my Galaxy S Advance.
I have done it before, and it went smoothly. But later I reverted back to official one.
Now I am doing it again. But having a few problems with the CWM recovery (v6.0.2.8). I am having an old file which was probably uploaded by Shaaan.
The file name is "update.zip".
I tried downloading the new file from one of his new threads, but that download infected my laptop with a large number of viruses, malwares and adwares that were on the host site. So I am using the old file itself.
So the issue is, I used the "root.zip" file to root my phone and it was done successfully as the Root Checker app also verified the root.
Later, I booted using the CWM Recovery.
Did the Wipe Data/ Fatory Reset.
Did Wipe Cache Data.
Did Wipe Dalvic Cache.
Then I moved to Installation of ROM.
When I select the option, "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD", there comes an error saying...
"E: Can't Mount /sdcard/"
I browsed the internet and found a solution that said CHANGING THE FILE SYSTEM OF THE SDCARD. So I did that too. Tried with NTFS as well as FAT32, but nothing happened.
I even tried to install by placing the ROM files in Internal Memory since they are not even getting cleaned after Wipe Data operation. But that too resulted in negative.
This is happening every time. By now, I have installed the official firmware 4 times, so as to start the process afresh, but no luck.
The ROM files are also not corrupted, as I have used them earlier.
Here are the images of the issue I am encountering. (Please tell how to upload images, as all that I can see is an option to add URL and not an image, also an error like posting 10 posts)
EXPECTING A SOLUTION TO IT ASAP, as the Official Jellybean version has again started to lag too much.
