Posted this on the XDA forums as well...not sure which place gets the most traction for newbies.
So, I'm pretty new w/ Android. Just flashed with voodoo lag fix D02-Kernel-LV-1250 using Dirrk's instructions. This means that I did the following:
- Rooted (was already done)
- Installed CWM (from instructions here)
- Downloaded D02-Kernel-LV-1250 and put on SD card
- Rebooted to CWM and did a backup
- Booted into recovery and flashed kernel
- Rebooted
Now, I see that DJ05 is released. (I even see stuff about voodoo lag fix for it...didn't know that was available.) So, now I wished I hadn't installed voodoo lag fix, because I hear it is difficult to uninstall.
I've tried to do my own research here, but I really don't want to change messing up my phone, so I'm asking for help here. Here are the threads I have sifted through:
- [KERNEL] Dirrk D02 Voodoo lagfix OC/UV - xda-developers
- [HOWTO] Completely Remove Voodoo Lagfix - xda-developers
- http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/34819-how-go-back-stock.html
- Instruction to Remove Voodoo Kernel
- Everything you wanted to know about Kernels
Questions
Sorry for the newbie questions for help, but I really want to make sure I do it right. Any help is greatly appreciated.
FYI, this is what I've looked through for the new stuff available:
- [RELEASE] DJ05 rom, kernel, radio - xda-developers
- [Kernel] OTB Voodoo5 overclocked kernels. DJ05 Fascinate only [Updated 12/16] - xda-developers
- [ROM] Super Clean DJ05 v0.9 - xda-developers
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Questions
- What is the trade-off b/w D02 and DJ05?
- If DJ05 really has the lag fix, is there any benefit of staying on D02?
- For future reference, how do I know what kernel version I am using (Voodoo4 vs Voodoo5)?
- Understanding what I've done above, what do I need to do to get to DJ05?
- Do I really need to flash to stock and lose everything to get there?
- And if so, can I use the backup I made in CWM?
- If not, and I have Titanium Backup installed and all apps/data backed up, does it matter if I have to go back to stock?
