Root voodoo5 kernels are here

nitsuj17 · Nov 24, 2010

kinda off topic, but we had another great dev join us recently drod169...he's been doing awesome roms for the dx (rubix series) and can only help to make the fascinate community that much better.

his twitter to follow for those interested:

Thanks Saps, Its been quite a roller-coaster ride regarding my health. I disabled Voodoo 1.2LV Dirks and installed stupid-fast (1.2.3) with super-dark ROM and its nice, but my battery is taking a pounding in the last hour and a half ( went from 96 to 85 in an hour and a half and i sent and received 2 texts, nothing else). I have no widgets and i haven't installed any apps yet, spare parts is not picking up any issues as well. I guess i need to join IRC in order to get the new goodies such as JT's D05 clean ROM and the Voodoo 5. any recommendations on a kernel or ROM that balances speed with battery life? i will keep experimenting

I've found best battery if you move to DJ05 is clean rom 3 and the kernel within it since its lv/uv. If you go voodoo the 11/23 is also uv. Thats the funny thing though is what is a great battery combo for one is not always a great battery combo for another :thinking:

I'm familiar with rooting, flashing, cmw and all but not with voodoo. So if I have a red cmw now after flashing test1124 that gave me the permanent cmw in red, and a voodoo kernel that is DJ05? And I need to disable voodoo before trying to flash a nonvoodoo kernal like stupidfast v1.54?

I'd like to know the answer to this too as i'm in the same boat. I haven't had the guts to try voodoo yet...

If you flashed any voodoo 5 its a dj05 kernel

Yup you must disable voodoo before flashing a non voodoo kernel or you will bootloop

So merely flashing 11/24 will give us this red cwm like the kernel zip installs it or is it a separate zip? Believe it or not I still havent climbed onboard voodoo5. Also I was reading last night that some people still have green and/or that could cannot ask red via rom manager but only via possibly the reboot button or holding the power buttons in from a start boot.

I haven't tried 3 button recovery but from rom manager I still get. 2.5.1.0 green recovery. Its from built-in reboot options via the power button I can get into 2.5.1.2 red voodoo recovery. Don't really no why. But if u recall previously recovery via power menu brought you to stock recovery whereas ron manager would apply the update.zip for you.

I'm sure there's a reason for it but its beyond me whether or not it can/will fix that

Still its pretty cool to have the option to disable voodoo in recovery

If I were to head to irc surely someone will head me in 11/24 voodoo 5 direction right? And also loading voodoo5 is just like loading any other kernel am I correct?

Yes and yes....but.....I will just brought the usual caution of voodoo5 is still a wip and voodoo craves caution. That's all.

yea thats whats got me kinda iffy but I wont be around a computer for the next few days so Im thinking I want to at least d/l this voodoo and put it on sd card then in the next few days I can decide if I wanna do it or not....or knowing me I just may jump the gun and go ahead haha

nitsuj17 · Nov 25, 2010

i again would like to point out (and this is directed at no one, just in general) that voodoo is a very serious undertaking.

yes you can flash it fairly easily and may not ever have problems. but please before doing anything....learn as much as you can as to what you are actually doing to your phone.

many of us have had voodoo issues previously, and many of use have had significant flashing/root experience on other android phones.

im not trying to discourage anyone from trying something, or make it seem like im talking down because really im not any kind of expert. im just pointing out that you should know what you are undertaking and be prepared for whatever may arise

Are there any voodoo kernels besides that test kernel?

yes but jt calls all his voodoo kernels test at this point. Even though they have been semi-publicly released as noted in half the posts above there is still a bit of risk involved with the process. A seasonsed SF vet who has a moderate degree of adb and/or odin familiarity probably has little to fear flashing a voodoo5 test kernel. However, increasing we are seeing a monkey see monkey do trend. So as more and more people are lovin on the voodoo5 there is a tendency for those less seasoned to jump into the pool perhaps when they dont fully know how to swim. The labeling of test is both accurate and perhaps even a slight deterrent for the less experienced.

good post saps

i didnt mean for my post to sound preachy...but yeah i think a lot of the crowd is just pop into irc ask for new files not listen for the warnings/bugs and then leave and flash anything. can't say im onboard with that :eek:

yeah and in the end its the helpful posters who end up spending hours trying to revive a situation with just a little bit of education and pre-planning would have been avoided

Sounded like a great big don't do it to me..and that's why its still just sitting on my sd card. I wanted to read more about it just wanted to have it if I decided to use it. I really thank you guys for what you do and the help that you give. Is there anywhere specific to learn more about voodoo?

With all due respect guys IRC can be a little intimidating and confusing. I've seen people ask and get ignored (not intentionally but it happens) due to lots of chatter. I've seen multiple conversations going and its very easy to get mixed up with who is saying what to who, making it real easy to do the wrong thing. We really need to bring what is done there to the forums where its cleaned up and direct.

Don't forget that even in the forums we have many that never post but at least they can get the latest and correct info if they come looking, its not all jumbled up and mixed in with others conversations. doing that IMO would make it easier to post those
BIG WARNING messages.

IRC is killing the forums! :eek:

and IMO isn't the best way to get a message out. Its great for up to the minute happening though and can be very funny at times

that's my .02

I would give you 2 thanks for that if it would let me..you are totally right about irc.. I got the voodoo link yesterday from you and was gonna ask you about it but there was so much everyday chatter that had nothing to do with sf that I couldn't keep up with you. That's why I just try to come back here for info..and now I see nit coming to take my soapbox so I'm getting down

saps · Nov 26, 2010

Fair points above guys no debate from me. Some middle ground - integration of the IRC stuff in here would be ideal. Its a real double edged sword to give more people easier access to "stuff". In principle and practice now though yes the current system could stand some improvement

Well here's another post just so you can think me again

But while I'm here I will tell you that you can go private in IRC with a person and that might help clear the extra chatter.

Thanks again I was just going to ask you and the other ppl in there how the 11/24 voodoo5 was going? Any bugs? I read the link saps sent me to and I think I can handle voodoo just don't want to get in over my head with bugs I may not be able to work out.
