Where the heck are the installation instructions?

I dont' see anything clear on XDA or on the main web site for Voodoo.

I'd love to try this, but the incompatibility with Clockwork is making me hesitate.

EDIT: Is it the same as for the Vibrant/Captivate installation of Voodoo? Do I have to download the file from the first post in the XDA thread and rename it to update.zip, then follow the instructions in the link below?

yes i did.. and now i log in.. and then when i go turn off and on the phone, the quick setup restarts. WTF.. i set up everything already and its still asking me to pick english and sign into google when i already did.. i turned it off and on to see if it will ask again.. and it keeps doing it.

what file are you using to restore?

How to Escape the Force Close Loop of Hell - Android Forums

Well the score might not be as high as EXT2 but the overall system performance is definitely noticeable

saps,

My phone is rooted. Do I just download the lagfix file, rename to update.zip, and place in root of my SD card?

That's it?

I'm just worried about something going wrong and not being able to revert to a nandroid. I don't have CWM installed and hear the v0.2 lagfix doesn't play well with CWM.

No. no dont rename it leave it named as is. I've only installed via CWM. Not sure how to without it quite frankly.
Plus I got my own fish to fry...next post

OK I think I got a problem.
I put the file in the sd/voodoo and rebooted.
The female voice gave me the step 1 and step 2 business.
The female voice tells me Data Partition wipe detected and then I got the Galazy S and Verizon Boot Screens but then nothing.
Do I have to bust out odin now?

i'm trying to fix mine.. i odin'ed mine. and everytime i setup the phone like select language, enter google name, it doesn't log on and gives me a data connection error.. and everytime i turn off and on the phone it keeps on asking me what lanuage even though i already selected english before..

I'm pretty sure that's it. Then your phone boots up, and is snappier and has higher quadrant scores...

okay this is pissing me off. i odin it again.. and its still doing it.. asking me to pick a language and sign into google.. i turned off. and on again, and its asking me to do it again..
