You think you've had a lot to play with and test with these kernels? Better fasten you seat belts boys and girls, we haven't even seen any ROMs yet from the Mesmerize source. When that happens, you're going to have these 4 kernels plus however many ROMs to mix and match in order to find what set up works best for you.

im still having a bit of confusion about adrynalyne's kernel_update that i am running now. I created the disable_lagfix folder in the voodoo folder and flashed without issue.

As i understand it now, this is a voodoo kernel, but the disable_lagfix folder allowed me to flash without ever enabling the lagfix. I have checked in CWM and voodoo tells me that lagfix is indeed disabled.

So now I am safe to flash another nonvoodoo kernel in CWM if i please? and nothing about what i've done will break CWM and cause me to reflash it in odin, like is referred to in the op?

I know I asked a similar question in the Adrynalyne and was answered, but I still had a bit of confusion/more questions, and felt this thread fit my questions better.

You can flash another nonvoodoo kernel safely. Check out post #4 in Jaekar99's Themes, ROMs, Kernels thread HERE. Both imnuts and times_infinity have created undervolted nonvoodoo kernels, so you don't have to mess with lag fix or create the disable_lagfix folder.

People are still reading Adrynalyne's instructions. I'm directing people to your instructions. Don't really want to make direct references to disabling lag fix in Adrynalyne's thread and basically discount what he is saying. It's a slow process, but we are getting there.

I understand, and I didn't want to directly say it in his thread, so as not to insult him in any way.

good call.

Speaking of which. Did you get my PM about slight modifications to your first line in this OP and the added step to the battery life method?

so im guessing that creating the disable_lagfix folder in voodoo before flashing a voodoo kernel, and flashing a voodoo kernel and then disabling lagfix in cwm before rebooting does the same thing?

Yes, no need to create the folder. After flashing the voodoo kernel and before rebooting phone, go into voodoo in the first cwm menu page, scroll to disable lag fix, hit the power buttons so you see something similar to this:

current setting: disable
next reboot: disabel

then hit the menu soft key to go to the previous page, hit the power button to reboot phone.

Or if you are on nonvoodoo, you can just flash one of the nonvoodoo undervolted kernels from either imnuts or times_infinity. You can find both in Jaekar99's thread HERE

No need to flash a voodoo kernel and deal with all of that since you won't get voodoo sound and color on nonvoodoo anyway, and you will still get the better battery life from the undervolted kernels.

 

[Landshark]

no i didnt??

I'll PM you again

Thanks for the info Mike. I am now rooted, themed, and voodooed without a brick. I was sort of looking forward to screwing up my phone so I could learn to work through the problems. I can never leave anything alone so I am sure I will asking for help before too long.
